I apologise but I only have limited understanding of medical terms and treatments so if something isn't right, (any doctors or nurses reading this) then I apologise. Sorry for the spelling too. My spell checker doesn't like medical words. Angelwood.
You Can't Leave Me Now.
Owen kneels down next to Ianto and Jack. He feels for a pulse and finds a very weak on. He listens to Ianto's breathing and it very slow and shallow.
"We have to get him to hospital now Jack. Give me the SUV keys," Owen tells him with concern on his face so the team knows it is serious as Owen only had that face if it was really serious.
Jack fumbles in his coat pocket, still holding Ianto in his arms. He passes the keys to Owen and he gets up and goes to the SUV and opens it, coming back to give Gwen his car keys.
"Lock both cars. Jack, you get Ianto into the back with Ianto and I will join you. Gwen, your driving and Tosh, in front with Gwen and clear the way," Owen orders taking charge and every obeys him.
Gwen locks the cars as instructed and then gets into the drivers seat of the SUV, removing the keys off of the seat first. Owen opens the door for Jack as he gets to his feet, holding Ianto and carries him to the back door. Owen gets in and slides to the other side of the car as Jack gently puts Ianto in the car and then gets in. Tosh shuts the door and gets in the front and as soon as her door is shut, Gwen starts the SUV and floors it, leaving hers and Owens cars where they were. That was the least of their problems.
"Gwen. Get us there as fast as possible," Owen tells her and she looks in the rear view mirror and sees the look on his face and she can see that it isn't good.
"I have alerted the hospital and they are standing by and ready to receive Ianto. They have a theatre standing by, staffed and ready. I informed them that his own doctor would be in attendance and that you were lead for Ianto's care," Tosh tells Owen from the front of the car and he reaches forward and puts his hand on her shoulder and she shrugs it off.
They arrive at the A&E entrance of The Cardiff Royal and the doctors and nurses are waiting for them, ready with a trolley. Toshiko had been keeping them updated on Ianto's condition, giving them any info that they needed about him and advising them on his ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival). Gwen pulls right up to the entrance and as soon as she stopped the SUV, Jack throw the door open and got out. He gently lifts Ianto enough to get him out of the SUV and gently lays him on the trolley as Owen gets out of the SUV.
"This is Torchwood Officer, Ianto Jones. DOB is 19.8.83 so he is 25 years old. Caught in a bomb blast inside a building. Unconscious throughout with weak pulse, shallow breathing and no response to pain stimuli," Owen tells the doctors and nurses as they begin to take Ianto inside with Jack next to him.
"I'll park the SUV and then I will find you," Gwen shouts to Jack, standing on the SUV footplate and shouting over the roof of the SUV.
Jack just looks back at her, a more of a sideways glance and then disappears inside with Owen and Ianto. Gwen gets back in as Tosh gets out and follows Jack in, ready to answers the questions that were going to posed, questions that were always posed. Ianto is rushed to a resuscitation room where everyone was ready for him. Jack is about to go inside but Owen stops him.
"You can't go in there Jack. We need to work on Ianto, concentrate on him and it is easier if we don't have to work around you," Owen tells him, putting his hand on his shoulder.
"I need to be in there with Ianto, Owen. I need to be with him," Jack tells him, pushing against his hand.
"Jack. We need to help him. He needs you to stay out here so we can help him. I am with him and I will let you know what is going on, I promise," Owen tells him as Jack looks into his eyes.
"Save him Owen. I lost him once and I can't lose him again," Jack tells him, tears filling his eyes.
"You stay here," Owen tells him and disappears into the resus room.
Jack watches through the window as Owen cleans his hands with gel and then goes to Ianto and takes charge. Jack watches as the doctors, nurses and Owen become like a swarm, running backwards and forwards, fetching equipment, taking blood away to be tested. Every now and again, he hears what they are saying.
"We need to get him to the MRI," a Doctor requests.
"He isn't stable enough for the MRI," Owen replies.
"Portable Ultrasound and X-ray please," the Doctor orders
"X-ray first," Owen replies.
Jack watches as X-rays are taken of Ianto who was still unconscious and then he is intubated. Jack puts his hand on the window as Ianto's unconscious body is scanned and Owen goes to look at the images.
"Damn. He is bleeding internally, chest and abdomen. Fractured skull, broken ribs on both sides, punctured left lung, broken Humerus, Radius and Ulna of his right arm and broken Tibia and Fibula of his right leg," Owen shouts out after looking at the Ultrasound and x-ray.
"How the hell is he still alive?" one of the doctors asks Owen.
"Ianto is a fighter," Owen simply replies.
"Get pre meds on board, prepare him for surgery, call theatre and tell them we are on the way and we are going to need bloods, as much as they can spare. Bag him for transport," Owen orders and then turns to the door and sees Jack there, tears falling down his face.
Owen takes a deep breath, goes to the door and opens it as Jack steps back as Gwen and Tosh joins them.
"How is he?" Jack asks and then Owens face gives it away.
"He's not doing so good Jack. He has a lot of injuries and we having to rush him to theatre as he is losing a lot of blood. He has sever internal bleeding that we need to get under control never mind all the broken bones. They are getting him ready and then we have to hurry but Jack, prepare for Ianto not to make it," Owen tells him, putting his hand on Jack's arm, his eyes welling up telling Jack what he might not make it.
"You have to save him Owen. Do everything you have to," Jack tells him, his heart breaking, tears streaming down his face and Gwen puts her arm around him.
"You know I will do everything I can for Ianto but it might not be enough. He's in a really bad way," Owen tries to warn him again but Jack isn't excepting it.
The doors of the resus room opens and Ianto is wheeled out, hooked up to monitors, being bag fed air, drips and blood hanging from every point, surrounded by doctors and nurses.
"Ianto," Jack almost shouts and he runs to his side, trying to get hold of his hand but nurses getting in his way.
A nurse comes out with Ianto's clothes, cut from his body, folded in a neat pile.
"Who do I give these to Dr Harper?" the nurses calls to Owen.
"I'll take those," Gwen tells her taking Ianto's clothes off of her and smiling.
"Jack, you can only come with us as far as the theatre outer doors and no further. One of the nurses will show you to the observation deck so you can see what is going on," Owen tells him as he and Jack jog next to Ianto as he is taken to theatre.
"I'm sorry Dr Harper but the observation deck is only open to other doctors and for teaching purposes," one of the nurses tells him.
"They are going on the observation deck and that is final. Anyone has a problem with that, they can deal with me," Owen snaps back.
Seconds later, they arrive at doors of the theatre and Owen tells them to hold off a second as Gwen and Tosh catch up.
"Go on Jack," Owen tells him with a small smile knowing that Jack needed a few seconds with Ianto.
Jack takes his hand and leans into him and kisses him on the forehead as one of the nurses continues to bag feed him air.
"I'll be here Ianto. Do give up the fight and I love you," he whispers into Ianto's ear, a single, solemn tear runs from Jacks eye and then Ianto is almost torn out of his hand.
"Nurse, show them to the observation deck," Owen orders as Jack watches as Ianto is wheeled into the theatre, Owen following and then vanishes behind closed doors.
