When Gwen got home with her arm bandaged Rhys ran to her side and took her carefully in his arms.

"Gwennie, what the hell happened to you? Is it Jack again? Where did he sent you this time?" Rhys fired the questions at her rapidly not even waiting for an answer.

She leaned on him and felt like crying because she still cared about Rhys and what she had to do but she couldn't let the opportunity to have jack pass her, so she had to let go of Rhys. She just didn't want to hurt him because he was never going to forgive her and she would loose him even as a friend. But there was nothing else to do if she wanted Jack.

"Rhys I'm sorry," Gwen murmured hiding her face in his shoulder.

"What for?"

"I'm pregnant," she said and before she could explain she heard Rhys swear and push her to look at her face.

"Bloody 'ell, that's brilliant," he exclaimed. "But what the hell were you thinking going out there getting shot? When are you going to start thinking with your brain love?" he added angrily.

"Brilliant? Rhys the child is Jack's and I'm really sorry," she could see the pain written on his face. She didn't want to hurt him but she didn't know how to tell him in a gentler manner. So she was direct.

Rhys pushed her out of his hands and started to pace around the room tearing at his hair in anger.

"Jack fucking Harkness," Rhys shouted making Gwen cringe and jump slightly in fright. "I bloody knew it, when I asked if you fuck him, I knew it."

"Rhys, listen to me," Gwen said pleadingly reaching a hand at him. "When you asked this question I didn't, and I still love you, but I'm not the girl you wanted to marry anymore. And I'm not the girl that accepted to marry you Rhys. I've seen too much, I've done too much, and I've changed. Jack is someone who knows more about who I had become, than you. And I'm sorry Rhys but that's the truth."

Rhys pulled out of her grasp and went into the bedroom taking a carry back and starting to throw some of his stuff in it.

"Rhys, what are you doing?" Gwen asked tearfully.

"What does it look like? I'm moving out, I'll come to collect the rest of my stuff when you are not around," he said back tensely. "Bloody hell Gwen, I even cooked you a dinner hoping to have a nice night with a movie. I love you I do, but that's too much even for me Gwen."

He took some items from his bathroom and left without another word slamming the door at his exit.

TWTWTWTW

Jack sat by Ianto's side until Owen said that everything was ok with his lover and that now Ianto only needed to wake up and have a bit of rest. He had to finally leave for a while to visit the toilet and to take a shower. He left his coat covering Ianto just in case Ianto woke up before he came back, this way Ianto would know that Jack was there and will come back to him soon.

Ianto woke up soon after jack left feeling faint and sick but the scent of Jack near his face made him smile. Owen went to the med bay when he hear the change in the machines indicating that Ianto was awake now.

"Hey, tea boy. How are you feeling?"

"Like my brain is stuffed with cotton," Ianto answered quietly watching Owen take his pulse and write something down on his chart. "My baby…"

Ianto remembered that something was very wrong with him after they left for the retrieval mission and was panicing about his baby. The machines started to beep picking up on his elevated heartrate. "It's alright, the little twat is fine," Owen said smiling slightly to calm Ianto down. "You need to calm down this is not good for you or the baby."

Ianto nodded and took a deep breath, watching Tosh run in the med bay and hug him carefully. It puzzled him because she held him as if he was made out of glass.

"Oh Ianto, I was so scared that we were going to loose you. What were you thinking going out there pregnant?" She said and looked at him letting him know that she knew about his condition. "Is not Owen's fault. I had to help him take care of you, so he had to tell me. You need to tell Jack."

"I will," Ianto agreed with her easily. "But can you make some tea first?"

"Oh, that's priceless. I tell you to tell Jack and you refuse, Tosh tells you and you agree without a fight." Owen grumbled.

"Because I like Tosh," Ianto said smiling.

"Twat."

At that moment Jack rushed in there with his hair still dripping water and only his undershirt, his dress shirt still clasped in his hand.

"Ianto, you are awake," Jack shouted and ran to hug him stopping in the last moment the urge to crush him in his arms. "Owen why didn't you call me immediately? I was so worried about you love."

"Hey, its alright I'm ok now," Ianto said kissing Jack gently on the lips.

At that moment Tosh came with a tray of teas and shot a look at Jack that could have killed him permanently if he could die.

"Yes, because you are so worried about Ianto, you got Gwen pregnant," Tosh hissed. "Here is you're tea Ianto, I will come later when Jack is not by your site. "

Jack frowned, but knew that Tosh was right and didn't challenge her, he just hoped that she could forgive him enough that they could still work efficiently together. Knowing Tosh they won't have trouble in professional matter, but he was sad to lose her friendship.

Before he could contemplate what to do Gwen rushed into the hub flustered and tearful. She looked at Ianto and then at Jack.

"God, Ianto I'm glad you are alive, are you seriously hurt sweetheart?" she asked sounding sincere.

"Yes, Gwen not that you care too much seen as your trying to steal my man by carrying his baby," Ianto retorted. Jack hissed his name admonishing him that Gwen had just trying to be nice and asked after his health.

"Jack we need to talk," Ianto answered him but Gwen had started to cry again.

"When you are feeling better we will. I'll take you out for a dinner, then a quiet night at home with your favourite lemon cheese cake, but now you need your rest." Jack said and when Ianto closed his eyes Jack left the med bay leaving Owen to make sure his patient was going to sleep peacefully. He didn't take his coat from Ianto leaving it as blanked of comfort.

When they were out of earshot and could not disturb Ianto's sleep Jack turned to Gwen.

"Why are you crying? What's the matter Gwen?"

"Rhys left," she said sobbing. "Now I'm going to end up a single mother."

"Gwen, I'm going to take care of the baby, I'm not going to let you raise it alone, but I love Ianto. And if he is willing to forgive me and still be with me I'm not going to leave him."

"And if he doesn't?" Gwen asked and Jack thought he could hear a hopefull note in her voice but didn't believe that Gwen would be like this.

"Then I'll take you and the baby to give her a proper family," Jack said not too enthusiastic and sincerely hoped that Ianto would forgive him. Not that he didn't love Gwen, but he could not leave Ianto even for Gwen. Not unless Ianto left him.

In the med bay Ianto had so much going on through his head that he couldn't sleep. He kept his eyes shut for a while but his sleep evaded him and he finally gave up pulling the coat near his face and sniffing it. His tears running unchecked from his eyes. He wanted to tell Jack, but Jack seemed to be interested in Gwen and her baby. And even now when he wanted to talk to him Jack decided to let him sleep and go talk to Gwen who came crying. No doubt she had dumped Rhys and now was planning no taking Jack from him. He felt a twinge of pain in his abdomen, thanks to Owen's drugs the pain wasn't too bad, and reached to touch his stomach. Now even his stomach had a scar even if just a small one, and when he had to deliver the baby the scar was going to be a huge one, would Jack still find him attractive? Gwen was most likely going to be unmarred by her delivery and her stomach would be as smooth as now. Ianto was so scared of what was ahead of him as no one had seen another pregnant male so far. What was going to happen if something went wrong? How were they going to know? Would he have to be confined to the hub for the last 4 months of the pregnancy, because how was he going to go around the streets with a baby bump?

All these questions were warring in his brain while he put his hand in Jack's pocked feeling something square when he put the coat to his face and his curiosity won over his guilt of checking Jack's pockets. When he pulled his hand out, it held a red velvet ring box.

"An engagement ring?" Ianto mutterer quietly frowning. So Jack was moving really quickly, he had just discovered that Gwen was pregnant and had already decided to marry her. Ianto returned the box in the pocket feeling sick and faint once more, but determined that he will talk to Owen to remove the baby and they he was going to leave Torchwood.
