Here it is, the wedding day! And this is the longest chapter I've ever written! So more than makes up for the short one last time I think :)
I've never actually been to a wedding or civil partnership, so my knowledge of ceremonies resides completely within the realms of the TV and the internet. So if this is inaccurate or unrealistic, that's why.
I did consider waiting until the actual 16th, but I decided I couldn't leave you all waiting! Hope you like it!
Jack Harkness
And
Ianto Jones
On August 16th at 4 o clock
St. David's Hotel
R.S.V.P
Ianto woke with a warm, fizzy feeling in his stomach. He lay there for a few seconds wondering why he felt so excited, and then he remembered.
Today was the day he was marrying Jack.
He grinned as he got up and made his way to the kitchen. Him. Marrying Jack. If anyone had told him he'd be doing this back when they first started sleeping together he'd have not believed them.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jack woke with a gnawing sensation in his stomach. It was finally here. His wedding day. He dragged himself out of bed and looked in the mirror, staring at the reflection. Did everyone feel like this before getting married? Jack honestly thought he'd never been so nervous in his entire life. It certainly wasn't like this last time he'd got married.
But he hadn't loved her. Not like he loved Ianto anyway.
Jack smiled, excitement and longing beginning to taint the nerves. He almost couldn't believe they were finally doing this. When he was Ianto's age, he'd always sworn he would never settle down, and he'd stuck to that. Now he was settling down with the man who'd started out as his casual shag.
He had to appreciate the irony.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ianto? You up?"
"In the kitchen!" he called back. Kitty practically bounced into the kitchen and stopped short, staring at him.
"But you're not dressed!"
Ianto regarded her with amusement. "Kitty, I have…" he checked the kitchen clock, "…over 7 hours until the wedding starts. How long do you think it's going to take me to put on my suit? It's not like I need my hair and makeup done."
"Well…"
"Don't even think about putting makeup on me."
"Just a little eyeliner?"
"No."
She pouted. "Spoilsport."
He grinned at her, then turned back to the coffee pot and proceeded to pour out two cups. Kitty watched him, smiling.
"I am so excited about today!" she told him, "this is, like, the biggest event ever!" she paused. "It's just a shame I won't be able to tell anyone I was here."
"You could tell James."
She brightened. "Yeah, that's true! Oh God, he is gonna be so jealous! Can I have copies of photos?"
"Yes, you can have copies of photos." Ianto told her with a chuckle.
Then the doorbell rang.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Jack? Jack, you ready?"
He glanced up at the hole in the ceiling which led to his office. "I'm just coming up, Martha!" he yelled. He checked his reflection in the mirror once more. He did look pretty good in a suit, he had to admit.
When he emerged into his office, both Gwen and Martha regarded him with soppy smiles on their faces. He sighed. "What?"
"I can't believe you're getting married!" Gwen exclaimed, turning him round so she could see the back of him. "Never thought I'd see you make a commitment! I remember when I first joined and was told you'd shag anything with a pulse!"
"Ianto has a pulse!" he said laughing. She grinned back.
"I knew you loved him!" Martha told Jack. He looked at her curiously. "I mean, back on the Valiant when you realised you could see him again…"
"What's this?" asked Gwen looking from one to the other. "When were you two on the Valiant together?"
"It's nothing Gwen." Jack told her, shaking his head at Martha who instantly tried to look innocent. "Just leave it."
Gwen scowled slightly. She didn't like being kept out of the loop. "Aren't you dressed a little early, though, Jack?" she pointed out, changing the subject.
He looked down at himself. "Probably. But I just couldn't sit down there doing nothing. Is it normal to feel this nervous?"
"Absolutely." Said Gwen.
"Definitely." Martha told him. "As long as it's 'I'm marrying the love of my life and I'm really excited' type nervous and not 'oh my God what the hell am I doing, biggest mistake of my life' type nervous. If it's that one you're in trouble."
"Definitely the first kind." Jack told her, grinning.
"If you're ready, do you want to make our way to the hotel? You can check everything's set up properly." Martha told him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hey, Tosh." Ianto said delicately.
"Hi, Ianto." She said, walking past him into the flat. "Are you nearly ready?"
"Um, yeah. Need to, you know, get dressed."
"Right."
"Would you like a coffee?"
Toshiko smiled gratefully at him. "Yeah. That'd be good. Thanks, Ianto."
"You're welcome."
Ianto once again busied himself with the coffee pot. He was glad things were finally getting back to normal with Tosh. Once she'd gotten over the shock of finding out he and Jack knew about Owen's demise she had begun to forgive them for it.
Or at least forget about it.
As he boiled the water, he could hear Kitty and Toshiko talking in the other room.
"So how are you?" Kitty asked.
"Fine."
"Any Rift activity scheduled for today?"
"Nothing come up on the computers."
"Good! After all the effort I've put into today, if any aliens try and ruin it I will tear them apart with my bare hands!"
Ianto grinned when he heard Toshiko laugh. It was a beautiful sound. He'd missed it.
Many hours later, Ianto found himself waiting outside the hotel they were getting married in. Jack had forbidden him, on pain of death, from entering the building in case he saw him. Ianto thought that was really sweet; who knew Jack would be so traditional? He smiled as he saw a car pull up, then grimaced as his mother got out of it. The conversation he'd had with her was still fresh in his mind.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hello? Jones residence."
"Mam? It's Ianto."
"Ianto! How are you love?"
"I'm fine mam. Um…listen, I've got some news." he gripped the phone a little tighter.
"Oh yes?"
Ianto swallowed nervously. "I'm…I'm getting a civil partnership."
There was a pause. "What's that?"
"It's like a wedding…"
"You're getting married?! Oh, Ianto!"
"…only with a same sex partner."
"…"
"Mam?"
"…"
"Mam, are you ok?"
"You're…you're marrying a man?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
Ianto frowned, puzzled. "Well…because I love him."
"But…I thought you'd grown out of that?"
Ianto felt his insides grow cold. "Grown out of what?"
"This whole 'bisexual' thing! When you were with Lisa you were so happy! Why can't you just find a nice girl like your brother?"
Ianto gritted his teeth. "Mam, what Daniel does is his own business. I'm in love with Jack, and I'm going to marry Jack."
"Jack? As in…oh, Ianto, not your boss?"
"How did you know…? Never mind. Yes, as in my boss."
"Oh, darling, isn't that a bit stupid? What happens when you break up?"
"Who says we're going to break up?!"
"Well, it's not a natural relationship is it?"
Ianto resisted the urge to slam the phone down. "It's perfectly natural mam. It's love."
"Well, I know love is natural sweetheart. But you should want stability!"
"Jack can give me that!"
"And a family?"
Ianto fell silent. True, he knew Jack had been pregnant before. But the subject of kids had never really come up. Besides, Torchwood and small children couldn't mix…could it?
"See love? You should take a leaf out of Daniel's book, he's never been happier than he is with Cindy…"
"Mam, I didn't ring to argue about my choice of partner. I rang to invite you to the wedding. It's on the 16th at 4 o clock, at St. David's Hotel. If you can't make it, I'll understand."
Then he'd slammed the phone down.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Only seemingly she could make it. He let out a small groan as she was followed out of the car by his brother Daniel and his wife Cindy.
Daniel and Cindy were, in his mother's eyes, the perfect couple. He was tall and athletic and had a good job; she was slim and blonde and loved kids and cleaning. She was only a year younger than him.
Ianto had told her Jack was older than him, but he'd neglected to mention how much. He wanted to see how old his mother thought he was. He had to suppress a laugh as a mental image of her face if he told her Jack was over 2000 years older than him popped into his mind.
"Ianto! How are you bro?"
"Hello, Daniel." Ianto said wearily. "Cindy, you look gorgeous."
She giggled. "Well, aren't you sweet?"
"So, Ianto, where's this 'Jack' then?" asked his mother. The way she said his lover's name made it sound like she was talking about some sort of disease.
"He's inside. He won't let me in in case he sees me. Thinks its bad luck."
"So you're the bride then?" asked Daniel, laughing. Ianto smiled thinly.
"Ianto!" He turned around as Kitty raced up to him, grateful for the interruption. "Oh my God, Yan, this is so amazing! I still can't believe you're getting married and I'm here and…hello!" she said brightly, looking around at his family.
"Kitty, this is my brother Daniel and his wife Cindy. And this is my mam."
"You have a brother? Wow! Your family is totally never mentioned back home, other than your dad of course and that he ran a tailor's, I can't believe you have a brother! James is gonna totally freak when I tell him! Do you have any other siblings? Do they have pets or anything? Do you…"
"Kitty, please be quiet." Ianto murmured out of the corner of his mouth, "You're sounding like a stalker."
She grinned sheepishly. "Oh, right. Sorry. Do they know where you work?"
"The tourist office." His mother said before he could open his mouth. "I'm sorry, who are you exactly?"
"Oh! Sorry, I'm Kitty! I'm a friend of Ianto's." she held out her hand and his mother took it.
"Lovely to meet you dear. Is it ok if we go inside?" without waiting for a reply, she led Daniel and Cindy into the foyer.
"Ianto! Hello!" Ianto grinned at the woman who had just appeared behind his family.
"Hello, Sarah-Jane!"
"This is Luke." She told him, indicating the teenage boy by her side.
"Hello." The young boy said formally. Ianto smiled at him. Kitty led them both inside, leaving Ianto standing alone to greet any guests that were yet to arrive.
Ianto checked his watch nervously. 3:55. He paced in a small circle for a while, trying to calm himself down. He was convinced something was going to go wrong, aliens were going to invade, or the rift would become active, or he'd trip and fall on his face halfway towards Jack…he held a hand out in front of him and realised he was shaking. Did he look alright? He took a last glance in the mirror next to him. He looked fine. Just relax Ianto. This time in half an hour, you'll be Mr Ianto Harkness! Everything's going to go fine. He just wished that he could believe himself.
At exactly 4 o clock, the doors opened and Ianto began to make his way towards Jack. Daniel had found it absolutely hilarious that Ianto was the one walking to Jack, said it made him the woman in the relationship, (he had started to go off into a comment about who was the woman in the bedroom, but had been silenced by a hard nudge in the ribs from Cindy. Ianto was glad; he hadn't wanted to spoil his day by accidentally punching his brother in the face.)
He realised his hands were still shaking, and concentrated on Jack instead. The older man smiled at him, and Ianto instantly felt his nerves vanish. Everything would be ok, because Jack was there.
Jack grinned as he reached him, and grabbed hold of his hand. "Everything ok?"
"No Daleks, no Weevils, no Nostravites." They both laughed. "Everything's fine, Jack. Better than fine."
"Then we'd better get on with it." Jack teased, and they turned to face the woman in front of them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to welcome you here on this beautiful day." She began, smiling out at the assembled guests. "My name is Pamela Kearns and I'm head registrar here at St. David's Hotel. This is a very special occasion, and on behalf of the happy couple I'd like to thank you all for being able to attend."
Jack turned his head and grinned as his gaze slid over the familiar faces of his friends.
"Today marks Jack and Ianto's decision to make an act of commitment to each other, affirming their love in front of their friends and family. Before we begin I must ask all of you if you know of any lawful reason why these two should not be joined in partnership, to tell me now."
Ianto glanced nervously at his mother, who sniffed but said nothing. Jack squeezed his hand reassuringly, and Ianto grinned at him, before turning back to Pamela, who smiled at him.
"Jack and Ianto have chosen to pledge themselves to each other by the signing of a legally binding contract. A civil partnership should not be entered into lightly. By signing the register, you agree to love, respect and care for each other; for the rest of your lives. The moment has now come for this couple to affirm their commitment to each other. I believe you've written your own vows?"
Ianto nodded, and turned to face his lover. "Jack. We've been through so much together; as enemies, as friends and as lovers. There have been times I doubted we'd get this far, but we have, and I couldn't be happier. You are my partner, my lover and my best friend. I couldn't imagine my life without you." he paused and wiped his eyes, smiling at Jack who was looking tearful himself. "When I first met you, you seemed so lonely. If you will let me, I intend to spend the rest of my life making sure you never feel alone. I will love you for the rest of my life."
Jack let out a small laugh as he wiped tears out of his eyes. "Ianto. From the moment I looked up into your eyes the night we found Myfanwy I knew I wanted to be with you. I have lived for so long, but this is the first time I can say I've truly been in love. We've had our ups and downs; more so than most couples. Actually, probably more so than any couple," everyone laughed, and Jack grinned at Ianto, "but we've always made it through stronger than ever. I promise that I will spend the rest of your life making you feel special, making you feel loved. I will remember our love forever. I love you, Ianto, and I will never leave you again."
Ianto nodded at him, smiling, and they turned back to the registrar. "Jack and Ianto have chosen to exchange rings, as an outward sign of the promises that they have made to each other."
Toshiko stepped forwards and offered them the rings with a smile.
The registrar smiled. "Ianto, if you could repeat after me. I give you this ring,"
"I give you this ring,"
"As a token and symbol of my love,"
"As a token and symbol of my love,"
"Of the binding partnership,"
"Of the binding partnership,"
"We have made with each other today."
"We have made with each other today."
Ianto slipped the ring carefully onto Jack's finger, and the older man squeezed his hand lovingly.
"Jack, if you could do the same? I give you this ring,"
"I give you this ring,"
"As a token and symbol of my love,"
"As a token and a symbol of my love,"
"Of the binding partnership,"
"Of the binding partnership,"
"We have made with each other today."
"We have made with each other today."
She smiled at them both. "In that case, I just need you both to sign here…" she indicated a document on the table in front of her, and Jack and Ianto both stepped forwards and signed it. "That's lovely. And could the witnesses step forwards?"
Martha and Gwen both stepped forwards and signed the document underneath Jack and Ianto's signatures.
"And last but not least…" Pamela took the pen from Gwen and signed her own name. "And now, I am pleased to announce you are officially civil partners in the eyes of the law. Congratulations, and I wish you both the best of luck and happiness on your journey together."
Jack turned to Ianto. "We made it!" he said quietly.
"And no alien invasion."
"Makes a nice change." Jack replied, before grabbing Ianto and kissing him deeply.
"It was beautiful Jack!" Martha told him, giving him a hug. "Absolutely gorgeous."
"Thanks Martha. Although, Kitty sorted out most of the venue I have to admit." He told her with a smile.
Martha glanced over his shoulder and grinned suddenly at someone behind him.
"Jack Harkness getting married. Never thought I'd see the day!"
Jack spun sharply on his heels. "Doctor?! What're you doing here?"
"Martha told me! Didn't think I'd miss this, did you? The ceremony was lovely by the way."
"Thanks!" Jack said grinning, before pulling the Doctor into a hug. "I can't believe you came!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ianto tore his eyes away from his new husband and tried to concentrate on what his mother was saying.
"It's still not too late darling. Are you sure you want to be with him?"
"Quite sure, mam."
"But what he said in his vows! All that stuff about loving you for the rest of your life and remembering you for the rest of his! Makes him sound like some sort of serial killer, like he knows he's going to outlive you!"
Ianto suppressed a small smile. "That's just Jack, mam. You wouldn't understand."
"Oh, but you could do so much better! What about Kitty? You two seem very close. And she's a lovely young welsh girl. Don't know what you were thinking; American! Honestly!"
Ianto merely smiled at her. He was determined that nothing short of a Dalek massacre was going to ruin his happiness.
"Mrs Jones! I'm so glad you could make it!" Jack exclaimed, casually wrapping his arm around Ianto's waist.
"Yes, well…"
"May I just say you look gorgeous? Where did you get that dress? Is it designer?"
Ianto gritted his teeth, waiting for his mother to make some sort of snippy comment. To his surprise, she blushed slightly and fiddled with her skirt. "Oh, this? It's nothing, just picked it up off the high street."
"You wear it very well. Do you mind if I borrow your son for a few minutes? We're supposed to have the first dance."
"Go right ahead." She told him with a smile.
"How the hell did you do that?!" Ianto asked him reproachfully as they danced slowly to the music.
"What?"
"Turn my mother into a simpering schoolgirl? I swear, there is no-one who doesn't fall for your charms!"
"Oh, I don't know. You didn't for ages."
"Ah, but I did! I just have very good self control!"
"Is that what you call it?" Jack asked with a grin, remembering their first night together. "And do you plan on exerting self control tonight?"
"Depends how you behave!" Ianto teased.
"They do look sweet, don't they?" Gwen commented as she watched Jack and Ianto dancing, heads bowed together.
"What's that love?"
She scowled. "Rhys, can you leave the bloody buffet alone for one second? This is a wedding reception!"
"Exactly! It's supposed to be a party! Besides, it's not like we got a proper one after our wedding is it? I need to do enough drinking for two!"
Gwen laughed, and conceded he may have a point. At that moment, Kitty approached them. "Aren't they gorgeous?" she asked the older woman, helping herself to a glass of champagne.
"Oh yes."
"Hi! You must be Rhys?" Kitty said, offering her hand. Rhys shook it, grinning.
"Let me guess. You're Kitty?"
She shot a quick look at Gwen. "Ooh-err, what's she been saying about me?"
"Oh, nothing bad!" Gwen interrupted quickly, causing Rhys to give a snort of laughter which he unsuccessfully tried to disguise as a coughing fit. "You did a really nice job with the reception Kitty, it's smashing!"
"Thanks!" Kitty was well aware Gwen was trying to change the subject, but she wasn't going to push it. She was way to excited to worry about what Gwen might or might not have told her boyfriend.
"Who's the band?" Gwen asked, eyeing the musicians. "They're quite fit, aren't they?" she added with a sly smile.
"Oi!" Rhys protested, but both she and Kitty ignored him.
"Oh, I got them recommended from a couple I've been speaking to online about wedding ideas."
Gwen looked at her. "Bloody hell! Isn't that a little OTT, asking other people about their ceremonies? Did they recommend the hotel as well?"
"No. That was all my idea."
"So why did you pick this place then?" Rhys asked through a mouthful of food. Kitty laughed, and Gwen frowned at him.
"Oh, this is where John Barrowman got married."
"Who?"
"The guy who plays Jack. You know, in the show."
"Right." He thought for a moment. "I am never gonna get used to the idea that someone, somewhere in another universe is watching me on the telly."
"Yeah." Gwen said, studying Kitty out of the corner of her eye. She still didn't trust the younger woman; and she still had a hard time believing her story. She just couldn't get her head round how it could work; had moments from their world seeped through the Rift? Or was it something else entirely? Just thinking about it for too long made her head hurt.
"I can't believe you're married!" the Doctor said again, once Jack and Ianto had gotten off the dance floor and made their way over to the table he, Martha and Toshiko were sat at. "Good luck with this one." He told Ianto, "I swear I don't know how you put up with him!"
"Oi! Cheeky git." Jack said playfully. The Doctor grinned and took another mouthful of his banana daiquiri. "How many of those have you had?"
He shrugged, gazing at his glass. "A few." He looked over to where Kitty, Gwen and Rhys were standing next to the buffet table. "Who's the girl? New recruit?"
Jack followed his gaze. "Oh, Kitty? Not exactly a new recruit. She came through the Rift."
The Doctor raised an eyebrow in surprise. "She's an alien?"
"No, she's from Earth; just a parallel version. Ianto and I met her when we got sucked through about 6 months ago. We lived with her whilst we were there."
"You got sucked through the Rift?! No-one tells me anything!" he blinked. "Hold on, you lived with her? Bit trusting isn't she, two total strangers."
"No, she knew who we were." Ianto told him. The Doctor gazed at him confused. "In Kitty's world, Torchwood is the subject of a TV show. We're all portrayed by actors." Ianto explained.
"Jack has his own TV show?"
"You've got one too, don't worry." Jack teased. "Trust me, Kitty can't have noticed you're here yet or she'd be over here talking away 19 to the dozen about Rose, and Donna, and Daleks, and what you had for breakfast last week…"
"Not big on privacy, eh?"
"She just gets over-excited." Ianto told him with a small laugh.
The Doctor frowned thoughtfully at her. "So you met her in her universe, and then she managed to get here?"
"Well she didn't do it on purpose." Jack sighed. "But I don't know how she got here. I was working on a theory that the Rift was unravelling or something, but other than her being here there's no evidence of any problems. No increase in activity, no random energy spikes, no alien buildings appearing in the middle of the high street…"
Ianto winced involuntarily. That had been one hell of a cleanup operation when it had happened once before.
"…I just can't figure it out."
"And you didn't leave anything there? Or do anything to her?"
"Nope."
"Hmm…"
But any further thought the Doctor may have had on the issue was interrupted by a loud "Oh my God!!" from behind him.
"Doctor." Martha said with a grin, "meet Kitty Hadley!"
The Doctor grinned at the young woman, looking more than a little alarmed by her enthusiasm as she began asking questions.
"You know…" Ianto said, putting his mouth close to Jack's ear. "I think this reception has gone on long enough, don't you?" he teased Jack's ear with his tongue, making the older man shiver.
"God, yes!" Jack said, turning his head and kissing him.
"So, I say we wrap this up and we can begin our honeymoon, Mr Harkness!"
"Mr Harkness-Jones."
Ianto blinked at him. "Really?"
"Why not? Seems only fair we take each other's names." He looked a bit nervous suddenly. "I mean, if that's alright."
"That's perfect."
Jack grinned at him, then stood up. "Ok, people, I think we're all about as drunk as we're gonna get; plus I want to get to the honeymoon suite as soon as possible so I can ravish my gorgeous new husband."
Several people laughed and wolf-whistled, and Ianto blushed bright red; looking at his shoes to ensure he didn't accidentally catch his mother's eye.
"So if people could start making their way home, that'd be great!" Jack finished with a grin. He looked around at everyone, and his smile faded slightly. "But before we all leave, I want to say a few words. This has been one of the best days of my entire life, and those people who know me best know what a big thing that is for me. But not everyone I'd like to have been here could be. I'd like you all to raise your glasses and remember those people who are no longer with us." He raised his glass, and those people who still had a drink in front of them followed suit. "To absent friends. To Owen Harper."
"To Owen." everyone muttered. Jack looked down at Toshiko, who had tears shining in her eyes. But she was smiling at him.
"Thank you, Jack. He'd have loved to have been here, I know he would."
There was a slow flurry as people began to collect their belongings and make their way to the exit; a lot of them supporting drunken friends.
"It was lovely Jack!" Sarah Jane told him, giving him a hug.
"Thank you. Hey, I'm glad you could make it!"
"Oh, I left Mr. Smith in charge of everything for a while. If Torchwood can take the afternoon off from alien hunting, I think I can!"
"Very true. It was good to see you again, Sarah. Definitely in nicer circumstances than last time."
"It was nice to see you too, Jack. And I'm glad to see you don't have any guns on you at your own wedding!"
Jack winked at her. "You've never seen my compact laser deluxe have you?"
"I don't think I want to know!"
"Probably wise." Ianto told her appearing at Jack's elbow. He bit his lip slightly as he saw his mother and brother approaching.
"Ianto, sweetheart, we'll be heading off now."
"Yeah. Bye, mam. Daniel."
"Mrs Jones, it was a pleasure." Jack said, kissing her hand.
"Yes, well…" she blushed slightly, "you make sure you take care of my Ianto!"
"I intend to. He's a very special person."
"Yes, he is." She turned to Ianto. "I'm disappointed you didn't find yourself a nice girl, Ianto." She paused and gave a disapproving sniff, "But you could do a lot worse. He's a real sweetheart."
"Mam!" Ianto protested in a strangled voice.
Jack laughed. "You have wonderful taste Mrs Jones."
"Call me Charlotte dear."
"Charlotte. Thank you so much for coming."
As Ianto watched her lead his brother and Cindy back towards the car, he felt astonished. "Seriously, how did you do that? My mother has always been so against me dating men, 5 minutes with you and she's about ready to support us at gay pride!"
"What can I say? I'm a natural at meeting the parents."
By this point the only people left were the Torchwood team, plus Kitty and Rhys.
"Ok people, listen up!" Jack called. They all turned to look at him. "Ianto and I are now officially on our honeymoon. We'll only be gone for a few days, but in that time I expect you all to hold the fort. Understand?"
"Absolutely." Toshiko told him.
"Seriously, anyone calls us back for anything short of the world ending will feel my wrath."
"What do we do about…?" Gwen asked, gesturing at Kitty. The younger woman frowned, put out by Gwen's treating her like she wasn't even there.
"Oh." Jack considered her for a few moments. "Kitty, you are officially in charge of Ianto's jobs. Filing and cleaning only!"
"Ok!"
Ianto honestly thought he had never seen anyone so excited at the prospect of cleaning up and paperwork. Jack beckoned Martha over.
"Don't let her do anything dangerous, ok? That means no feeding Myfanwy or Janet, and don't let her have a gun!"
"Ok Jack." She winked, "You have fun! We'll see you when you get back! Now get out of here!"
"Yes m'am!" Jack said with a mock salute and, grabbing Ianto's hand, led him out of the hall.
