Chapter 22: Telling Gwen
It took three hours before Tosh, Owen and Ianto got back to the hub. As soon as the SUV was parked, Tosh jumped out of the vehicle and helped Owen to manoeuvre Ianto so he was lying across the medic's chest. With great difficulty, the couple managed to take the young man into the Hub and rest him on the medical bay table. Ianto's face had paled and his body was shivering. "Tosh, will you grab the blanket from the sofa? I need to check him over again."
"Of course."
Tosh walked away from the medical bay and over to the sofa. The blanket was still crumpled up in a heap from when Jack was using it the day before. She lifted it up into her arms and held it to her face. The blanket smelled of Jack. She knew that if Ianto was wrapped in side of it, when he would feel safe and protected. She went back to the medical bay, and watched for a little while as Owen scanned Ianto's chest for any internal bleeding.
"He okay?" Tosh whispered, holding out the blanked towards Owen.
"Thanks Tosh. He's fine I think. No internal bleeding. I just have to secure the bandage around his chest and bind his fingers together. The sedatives should wear off soon, so I need to get some strong pain killers."
Tosh smiled and stood over by Owen, helping him secure the bandages and then cover him up. "I don't want to move him to the sofa just yet. If we move him around too often then we might cause some damage. We'll leave him until he wakes up, and then we'll take him over there." Owen stated, looking between his lover and the broken man in the autopsy table.
The Japanese woman nodded and looked up at her boyfriend. "We really should call Gwen."

Gwen was lying comfortably on her husband's chest, watching Wife Swap. The couple had been spending every moment together since they had reunited. Rhys had convinced his wife that Jack was doing fine without her and that she should relax, and that was what she had been doing.
She still wished that she was at the Hub with Jack keeping him company, but she knew that the man needed to relax.
Rhys shuffled uncomfortably, as he had been sitting in the same position for a few hours.
"Sorry baby" Gwen whispered, sitting up from Rhys's chest so she was sitting with her back to the arm of the chair. The Welshman groaned and sat up so he was facing his wife.
"Sitting in the same place for ages is not good for my back." Rhys joked, reaching his hand round and rubbing away the pain in his back.
Gwen smiled and leaned forward kissing her husband's cheek. Rhys was about to turn his head and kiss his wife properly, when Gwen's mobile began to ring.
Gwen gave an apologetic smile and answered her mobile.
"Hello." She said politely.
"Hey Gwen, its Tosh."
"Oh hey Tosh!" Gwen stood up from the sofa and walked over to the kitchen, getting herself a glass of water.
"I need to tell you something."
"Is it Jack?" She said sharply. "What's happened?"
"We've found Ianto."
"You found him? Why didn't you call me! Tell me everything!"
Gwen heard Tosh take in a deep breath before beginning. "The other day, before you called to take some time off, we got another letter from John."
"Why the fuck didn't you call me Tosh?" Gwen snapped angrily, slamming her cup down onto the kitchen counter.
"We didn't want to worry you. We knew you needed to spend time with Rhys."
"I deserved to know."
"I know Gwen. And I'm sorry."
"Sorry's not good enough. What else happened?"
Tosh took in another deep breath before continuing. "John wanted Jack and one other person to meet him so that Ianto could be given back. He wanted Jack to go with him to reform the Time Agency."
"Are you fucking kidding me? You didn't let him did you??" Gwen was so hysterical that Rhys had to come over and envelope her in his arms.
"We have a plan."
"A PLAN?!" She screamed. "Tosh, I'm coming over."
"No Gwen…wait…"Gwen didn't listen. She hung up the phone, pushed Rhys away from her and grabbed her coat which was on the kitchen counter. She didn't listen to Rhys's shouts of protest as then ran out of the door.

Tosh sighed angrily as Gwen hung up the phone on her. Owen sensed the woman's frustration so walked over to her.
"What's wrong?" He whispered, holding her hand in his.
"Gwen's coming over."
"Bollocks."
Uh-ohhhh. :P
