A/N: - Thirteenth chapter of Earth Angels Season One, YAY! I'm only going to change the end of the episode, as I like how it goes. Also, I'm completely skipping random shoes as it's my least favourite episode.
- Janto-y goodness!
- There is some slight Gwen-bashing, a hint of Doctor-bashing (it's mostly angst driven).
- Enjoy!
Earth Angels: Out of time.
Jack finally managed to escape the toxic fumes and turn the car off, after many deaths. He looked around and sighed before stumbling to the SUV. He needed his Ianto.
His vision was blurry and his body trembling, but he managed to drive quickly and with no accidents to Ianto's home, where he knew his life mate would be waiting with news of his car. He stumbled to the door, and banged twice before collapsing. Ianto wrenched the door open and let out a gasp before hauling Jack up and into the house.
"What happened, sir?" He asked desperately.
"John…suicide…couldn't…stop…" Jack groaned before blacking out.
Ianto panicked, shaking his shoulder and begging him to awaken, but he didn't. He also knew Owen wasn't contactable, and he couldn't send Jack to the hospital, so he stripped Jack of his smelly clothes, leaving him in just his boxers, and lifted him in a fireman carry, dumping him on his bed before calling Gareth and Kat. He knew it was Christmas Eve, but he needed them.
He sat and watched Jack with tears dripping down his cheeks when the doorbell rang.
"Come in!" He called, and after a couple of minutes, Gareth, Kat and Father Ambrose walked into the room. Ianto didn't even look up from his vigil.
"Ianto, what's happened?" Kat asked in a panic, clutching her heavily pregnant belly.
"I…I don't know, but I can't do anything. He can't go to a hospital… or…or see a d…doctor, a…and Owen's grieving be...because a w…woman l…left him after h…he f…f…fell in l…love with her. H…he's g…go…gone off the g…grid."
Kat pulled Ianto into a tight hug as Ianto broke down, keeping a tight hold on Jack's hand. Gareth stood beside Kat and ran his fingers through Ianto's hair soothingly as Father Ambrose watched on in confusion. "Why can't Jack go to the hospital?" He asked.
There was silence except for Ianto's muffled, slowing sobs, and when Ianto stopped sobbing to the point where they were infrequent hiccups, he said quietly "We've been planning on telling you since Easter, but a bucket load of crap has happened and there's really been no time. To be honest, we only managed to tell Gary and Kat that we were dating *hiccup* recently."
Father Ambrose interrupted confused "You're dating?"
Ianto nodded and continued "We need *hiccup* to wait until Jack a…awake before we can explain."
Gareth, Kat and Father Ambrose all nodded and they took seats, waiting for Jack to awaken. At one point, Ianto realised Jack was no longer breathing, and that he was turning blue, but no one else notice.
And then, suddenly, Jack drew a huge breath and sat up, looking confused. Ianto jumped onto the bed and pulled Jack into a hug, whispering "Y…You scared me so much!"
Jack hugged Ianto back and said sadly "I'm so sorry, b…but John died. H…he used your car to poison himself. I…I got there before he died and tried to stop him, b…but he was adamant, so I s…sat with him. I d…died a f…few times before I c…could get out. I d…didn't know where else t…to go."
"I'll always be here for you Jack. I…I know I'm not who you've been waiting for, but I love you, and no matter what, I'll always be here for you, until I go Home."
Jack pulled away from Ianto's embrace and Kat quietly forced the priest and her husband to leave. "How can you think that? I've never – never – loved anyone like I love you, Jones, Ianto Jones. I have it on very good authority that you are the one I've spent all of my lives searching for. You are my life mate. I was planning on telling you tomorrow, because you seemed to be starting to love me like I love you."
Ianto felt a tear trickle down his cheek and he drew Jack into a passionate kiss. "I love you so much, Nurya." He said, pulling away from the kiss.
Jack could feel God's joy in his mind as he and Ianto held each other, feeling their souls finally begin to meld together.
Eventually, they pulled apart, and went to the living room with identical grins.
"So, Father, think you can handle the truth?" Jack said teasingly.
"Umm…?" was the unsure response.
"Well, no worries what you think, God says you can, so there." Jack retorted cheekily. "Come on, Kat, Gary. Looks like my sister's about to burst with my nephew."
"It's a boy?" Kat asked, confused.
"Dunno, but I want it to be." Jack replied casually. "So…to the Hub!"
Ianto rolled his eyes and said "Gods and goddesses, Jack, can you get anymore 'superhero'?"
"I can try" Jack said with a wink. "Let's hop into our super cool torch-mobile"
"Torch-mobile…torch-mobile are you serious, Jack?" Ianto asked.
"What, Torchwood-mobile doesn't flow as well, and I was trying for something like the bat-mobile."
"We know, Jack." Gareth snorted as everyone else laughed.
Jack pouted and lead them to the SUV. Everyone climbed in, and Jack drove them to the Plass. He looked in the rear view mirror and said "Amby, why aren't you in Church today? Surely they need you?"
"Nah, I got the Christmas holidays off as we have three priests visiting Canon James. I wasn't needed as I'm the youngest, and I'd 'just get in the way'."
"Oh, well, merry Christmas!" Jack responded, and then they pulled up to the Plass.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed it. Please review and I'll post the next chapter when it's written, and sorry this chapter took so long.
