CHAPTER 26

"Are we going to give her God parents?" Jack asked as he cuddled up to Ianto.

"I don't know. Did you want too?" Ianto asked.

"Yeah. Yeah, I think I do. Not because of the religion, but if she needs help and for some reason we aren't there." Jack said.

"Ok, shall we both pick a god mother and god father?" Ianto asked.

"Yeah, but Owen is my choice as god father!" Jack said, making Ianto groan.

"But that means I'm stuck with John." Ianto whined.

"You're the one who hired him." Jack pointed out.

"Yes, but I didn't exactly think that he might become a legal guardian of my child! If I knew that I would have hired someone else! Why can't he be your choice? You were best mates." Ianto said, wishing he hadn't said they were going to give Carys god parents.

"Yeah, but I don't want to be responsible for him being part of our family. I'd never heard the end of it."Jack said grinning like the cat that got the cream.

"Alright. Fine. My choice for god mother is Tosh." Ianto said, knowing Jack would pick Martha anyway.

"Seems fair. I pick Martha." Jack replied.

"Now we have to ask them." Ianto pointed out.

"Oh Gods. I forgot we had to ask." Jack said. "Do they have to know?"

"Yes, Jack. They have to know." Ianto sighed. A small smile forming on his lips. His smile soon left though. "Jack?"

"Yes Ianto?" Jack asked.

"What are we going to do about Gwen? The Jadoon have given us three days to decide what will happen to her before they come down and take her by force. They'll put her on trial and find her guilty. They'll kill her." Ianto said worried.

"So? She killed you. Call it karma." Jack said calmly, shrugging his shoulders.

"Killing her or letting her die would just make us as bad as her. What should we do." Ianto asked.

"Well if it was up to me, I'd either put a bullet in her head or accidently put her in Janet's cage, but you relived me of my duty." Jack said, still skulking.

"I can't do that and you know it. I would love to kill her, but it wouldn't be right. We could retcon her, or we could give her to Torchwood 2, we could send her to prison, we could...make her homeless then change all the pass codes...or we could kill her." Ianto mused.

"Why don't we call a meeting tomorrow and let the team decide?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, ok. Love you."

"Love you too."

"Meeting in five minutes!" Jack shouted, receiving glares, shhh's, and baby's crying. "Sorry" Jack whispered.

Five minutes later

"Jack, what's this all about? We've had you and Ianto out of action for a couple of months now. Gwen is still in the cells and everyone is tired." Owen asked, trying his best to stay awake.

"That is what I wanted to talk to you about." Ianto said walking into the room.

"I thought Jack was in charge." Owen said.

"He was. Now eye-candy head. Get with the program lab monkey." John said, stuffing his doughnut in his mouth.

"Don't call me eye-candy. I relieved Jack a while ago when he was going through a difficult time. He is better now, but I'm still in charge because we have decided he will look after Carys while I work here. This meeting was called because of Gwen. We need to sort out her punishment. I have narrowed it down a little, but would appreciate your input. The options are as followed. 1) We kill her. 2) we retcon her 3)we send her to a high security prison, and 4) we hand her over to the Jadoon where she will stand trial." Ianto told them.

"I vote option 1!" John exclaimed.

"I vote option 3" Tosh said a little quieter.

"I vote option 4" Owen said.

"I vote option 1" Rose said, causing everyone to look at her. "What? She killed my grandson."

"I vote option 3" Martha commented.

"I vote 4." The Doctor said.

"I vote 1" Jack said.

"I vote 2, not that it matters." The Seer said.

"Ok, how shall we kill her?" Ianto asked.

"Shoot her." Owen said.

"Don't be so bland, lab monkey. Think bigger." John said.

"Think kinder. She may have committed a crime, but there is no need to be nasty. I say a lethal injection." The Doctor said.

"I concur." Ianto agreed.

"So do I." Tosh said

"And me." Rose piped up.

"Seems fair." Martha said.

"I have to agree." The Seer smirked.

"I have to agree with Owen. Shoot her in the head and be done with it." Jack said.

"Jack, we have decided. We'll give her a lethal injection of weevil sedative. It will be kinder.

"But she killed you!" Jack exclaimed.

"Yes, and Owen killed you! We didn't kill him for it!" Ianto shouted back.

"It's not the same. I love you." Jack said.

"and I love you. So please, just let me do this my way. It was me she killed." Ianto said with a small smile.

"Ok." Jack said, smiling back.

"Anyway. Next problem. Second in command. Who wants it?" Ianto asked. Everyone just sat there except John who was jumping up and down in his seat with his arm in the air. "Oh god. Fine. Our new second in command is John."

"Thank you! As your new second, I would like to ask for a name change-" John started, but got cut off.

"Listen, John, if you wanted to be called Vera, you only had to ask." Owen said sarcastically.

"Shut it monkey! As I was saying. Torchwood seems a little boring, we could give Excalibur ago." John asked hopefully.

"No. We are Torchwood. We have been called Torchwood since Queen Victoria founded the institute in Scotland when she discovered aliens existed. I believe the Doctor and Rose were there. Knitted Lord of the TARDIS and Lady of the estate rose lived in as a child. Stupid werewolves." Ianto said. "Just one more thing before you lot get back to work. Jack and I have decided we want Carys to have God parents." Ianto said smiling, letting Jack ask his two first.

"Martha, will you be her God mother?" Jack asked, giving her his best puppy dog look.

"Of course I will, Jack! I'd be honoured!" Martha said, hugging him.

"Owen, will you be her god father?" Jack asked once Martha had stopped hugging him.

"Sure. Suprised you pick me though." Owen said, reaching to shake hands with Jack.

"You will in a minute." Jack grinned.

"Yeah. Seen as the Doctor and Rose are actually family members and can't count as a god parent, I am forced to pick John. John will you be Carys god father? Please say no." Ianto asked.

"Of course I will be her god father! Why wouldn't I be? Does this mean I'm part of the family?" John asked, swinging his arm over Ianto's shoulders.

"God help me." Ianto whispered. "This one is probably expected. Tosh, will you be the God mother of my child?" Ianto asked with a smile.

"Yes! I'd love to Ianto!" Tosh exclaimed and gently hugged him.

"So Ianto, what should Carys call me? Her name is Carys, right? I was thinking she could call me uncle John or something? If she's hot do you mind if I..." John asked, leading Ianto out of the room, arms still over Ianto's shoulders.

"I see why you picked me now. I feel sorry for Ianto." Owen said with a smile.
