"Everyone, this is my son" Ianto said happily, "I have the DNA results to prove it!"

"Is this true?" Anna demanded angrily, "This child is not yours?"

"He's delusional, you saw me have him" Gwen said as the rest of the team gapes at her and Andy shrugged as he made the twirling sign with his finer at the side of his head.

"Gwen, you were never pregnant" Tosh said sadly, "You did not give birth to that child, you took it from Ianto, you cut it from him like the thief you are!"

Andy was unlocking the rest of the team as Tosh rose to hug Ianto, "Oh Ianto I am so sorry you felt you had to keep this from us, no wonder you needed to know how to use the systems. I could have helped you more."

"You helped me find this one" Ianto said as he drew back the blanket and a miniature Jack peered up at her, melting her heart.

"Oh, look at him. He's perfect" she gushed as Jack stepped around her to gather Ianto into his arms and look down at his son for the first time as his little body was cradled between them.

"See?" Ianto whispered, "Perfect, right?"

"Oh my boy" Jack smiled as he cuddled him.

Andy un-cuffed Gwen from the chair to apply his own cuffs and she stomped on his feet making him yell with pain and Jack swung to look making his Webley assessable as Gwen pulled it from the holster and aimed it at Ianto's head.

"no!" Jack yelled as he threw himself in front of his husband and child, the gunshot loud in the room as Jack fell, relieved the bullet had hit him then he felt the horror of a trickle down his back.

Exit wound.

Jack rolled to watch Ianto slide down the wall, his back to him still cradling the baby against the wall, his instinct to turn away and shield with his body as well saving their son's life.

Jack screamed with horror as Ianto slumped over their son.

The blood.

Ianto's blood.

His love.

Jack screamed.

Gwen started to laugh, "That's right Ianto, I did. I took what would have been mine, MINE! Jack loved me, you know he did and you were spiteful. Bad enough the first one but again? Come on, why rub it in."

"But what about Rhys?" Tosh asked as she watched Owen crawl towards Ianto and she stepped into Gwen's line of sight to keep her occupied, "How are you going to explain a baby"

"Well, what do you think Retcon is for?" she snorted, "It doesn't just take memories, you can implant others. Just like Men in Black, we can do whatever we want!"

"You…how could you!" Tosh spluttered, her anger suddenly flaring "You could have killed him, both of them. My god, he was so little to be taken like that, his lungs…"

"He's fine, look at him" Gwen scoffed, then turned to see Owen checking the baby as Ianto lay in a pool of blood, "Right?"

"Gwen you just shot at him, shooting both parents with him in the middle of it, you eve think maybe the bullet hit him too?" Owen panted, "Jesus."

Her hand waivered as she took a step towards him, now worried for 'her' son.

Ianto exploded from the floor, his fist catching her under the chin and she flew back to strike the edge of the table as Ianto staggered back against the wall clutching at his side.

"You bitch" Ianto choked, "You fucking bitch!"

"Easy there Tea Boy, you don't have an exit wound like Jack does, the baby is fine and you have a bullet in you!" Owen grumbled as he slid the baby to Jack and reached for Ianto, "Shit. You wanna pop a lung on me there?"

"Ah shit" Ianto sighed as his eyes rolled and he slumped again, Jack roared his name as the baby began to cry in his arms.

Ianto's last conscious thought, at least Josh was with Rhiannon and not here.

Ianto was ready to rest.
