Here's the next chapter I hope you like it. enjoy reading

Ianto had picked up Destiny after what happened he got a lot of questions from his neighbour who had seen everything on the news. He tried to answer the questions without sounding crazy. He didn't even exactly know what happened.

"Daddy!" Destiny said and ran up to him. Ianto was happy to see she didn't look scared maybe it was just that Jack had to hurry and couldn't really tell her anything why she had seemed scared. "Dad, where is Jack?"

"He's fine he still had something to do at work he'll be back tomorrow morning." He knew he hadn't handled the situation right. He would give him a call later to apologize. They still had to talk though he wanted an explanation on what had attacked the company, and what Jack exactly did there.

Since it was already late he put Destiny to bed and settled in front of the telly to watch the news. When he heard his phone beep.

From Jack to Ianto

Can we talk today please.

He read the text and took a moment to think of his answer.

From Ianto to Jack

Okay, but I want a full explanation.

In less than a minute he got a reply.

From Jack to Ianto

I will explain. Now please open the door.

Ianto shook his head and walked to the door. "You know you could've just used your key."

"Could have yes, but I knew you would prefer if I asked you." Ianto knew that was true. They sat down with a drink.

"I'm sorry I overreacted. I was worried about Destiny, but everything is okay." Jack just pulled Ianto close. They were sitting like that for a couple of minutes before Jack begun speaking.

"No I'm sorry I should have told you this before." Jack spend two hours explaining Torchwood to Ianto. He knew that telling him wouldn't be enough he would have to show it to him as well. And Torchwood was one thing the real problem was his immortality.

Eventually they agreed to bring Destiny to Rhiannon and they would go to the hub that Saturday.

"You know I still have to make up to you for picking up Destiny in such short notice." Ianto said with half a grin on his face as he leant in to kiss Jack. Still kissing they went upstairs trying not to be too loud so Destiny wouldn't wake up.

They were still in each other's arms when Destiny walked into the room and tapped Ianto on his shoulder. "Daddy can we have breakfast?" Ianto saw it was already half past nine so he was about to get up before he realised both he and Jack were still naked. Jack had woken up in the mean time as well.

"Sure sweetie, why don't you get dressed and pick some things you want to take to aunt Rhiannon." After they left Jack had to laugh. They agreed to remember to put at least boxers on before sleeping. Ianto made breakfast before they went to Rhiannon this time with the SUV. Ianto looked at all the tech in the car surprised that Destiny didn't ask any questions.

"Hi guys nice to see you again. Are you staying for dinner tonight?" That sounded like a great plan so they agreed and left to the hub.

"Didn't Destiny ask anything about all this stuff when you brought her and picked her up?" He just explained what everything was for. When they arrived at the hub the whole team was already there doing their jobs.

Jack showed him everything and introduced Ianto to everybody. "So you are the one that is keeping our boss busy." Owen said with a wink. They talked a bit.

"So what was it that attacked the company last night." They walked over to Toshiko's desk and she opened up a file with info they had on the species

Species:Ixoathi

Home-World:Zonania VII

Description:A race of greedy Lizard like creatures with a scaly skin, claws and a snake like tongue . They are immune to the effects of radiation and consider dance to be a form of ritual combat. They share their home star system with a race of enormous space-dwelling life forms whom they worship as gods. When their home-world was rendered uninhabitable due to an environmental catastrophe, they terraformed a nearby planet (Olympia IV) in their star system, making it their new home. They are now using their terraforming expertise to restore the climate of their original home-world.

Ianto read it trough and he didn't see Jack leaving him to talk to Owen.

"No Jack I won't do that can't you just tell him."

"Just telling seems a bit unbelievable. This is something you need to see to believe." They both knew it was the truth. Jack didn't want to see Ianto hurt, but this was the only way to explain it.

Jack took Ianto down to the shooting range to let him try maybe it would be of some use someday. They had been practicing for about half an hour when they took a break. "Why do you do this job it's dangerous, and I don't want to lose you. I wouldn't know what to tell Destiny, and what I would do myself I don't think I'll find someone else." Jack had to think how he was going to do this. He just pulled him tight against him.

"Do you trust me?" Jack asked Ianto and he just nodded. "I won't leave you ever and I won't die cause I can't." Jack saw Ianto looked questioned and Owen had been right it wasn't Owen that needed to shoot Jack. Just the two of them would be better. Jack handed Ianto the gun. "Shoot and keep waiting with me I don't know how long it will take, but probably not too long. Just promise me to wait." As he expected Ianto refused to shoot.

Ianto didn't know what to think. Jack took the gun from him. Jack told him once more just to wait. Ianto nodded he trusted him even though this seemed strange and unbelievable. Jack Kissed Ianto and after that he pulled the trigger.

Ianto cried having the man he loved lying lifeless in his lap, but he did as he asked.

He waited.
