Chapter-29

The morning seemed to have arrived too soon as everyone prepared for a confrontation that would end in definite fatalities. Jack and Ianto lay in each other's arms, giving each comfort and support as they prepared to fight for their family.

The day started more stressful than usual. After breakfast Ianto walked Jack to the door and from outside John watched as they kissed goodbye. Jack and Ianto had already spotted John earlier watching their house so as soon as he closed the door Ianto called Rhiannon. (Thanks to Tosh the house was clear of listening devices) Ianto reassured Rhiannon that he and Jack would be alright.

As Ianto slowly sorted the kitchen and placed J's nappies and other accessories into the family room where J would be placed in his travel cot until Rhiannon would come.

Jack arrived at the hub before the others and began getting everything started for his team's arrival. Jack turned on the computers, gave Myfwnwy her special chocolate treat, fed Janet and did other odd jobs before the team arrived. In his office Jack watched as Tosh and Owen arrived carrying coffee from Starbucks. Giving a quick glance up at him Tosh and Owen nodded once,signalling they were prepared for what was to come. Gwen arrived late as usual but cheerful.

"Good morning Tosh Owen, sorry I'm late, Rhys and I really tied one on after the rugby match last night.'' Gwen lied.

Owen frowned. '' Bloody hell Gwen, spare us the sordid details!" Gwen rolled her eye and went to her desk. "Tosh how's Ianto?" "He's fine Gwen. He went home last night. After he kept insisting, Owen gave in. Now Rhiannon will go and stay with him until Jack gets home." Tosh replied.
"Tosh that great, i know Ianto will be happy to see the kids," Gwen glanced toward Owen who nodded slightly to show he was listening in and for Tosh to continue. "Yes he will, Rhiannon will bring J with her and he'll see Josh later after day care." Tosh explained. Gwen nodded with a smile, knowing John was already watching the house.

Rhiannon watched as Johnny took Mica and David to school. After dressing J and double checking to make sure she had everything, she called Ianto to let him know she was leaving. Ianto breathed deeply closing his eyes. He knew the hub only ten minutes away but he would feel more confident if Jack was here.

Andy was working in the tourist office which led into the hub. ''I will glad when Ianto come back, people are asking me about place I've never heard of and I've live here all my life!"

Owen scoffed. ''I hope it's soon, I need my bloody caffeine fix!"'

John watched as Rhiannon entered the house carrying J. Ianto placed him in his travel cot while he and Rhi went into the kitchen. Owen watched as Gwen made an excuse to leave the hub and tapped his com, "Jack, Gwen just left."

Jack came out of his office. "Tosh switch on the CCTV to my house," 10 minutes later they spotted Gwen arriving at the house and being let in by face hardened, "Tosh you and Andy make your move now and Owen, you get ready." Parking down the street from his home they had full view of John hiding outside his home and Gwen inside, thanks to Tosh's laptop inside the SUV.

Ianto braced himself before coming out. ''Hi Gwen, how are you?"Gwen smiled, "Ianto good to see you at home, is that little J?" Rhiannon frowned "Yes it is and can you two keep it down he just went to sleep, the little fecker is teething and all'', Gwen smiled and turned to J with interest.

"So Gwen what brings you around?" Ianto asked "Oh you know it's a slow day and when I heard you were home I decided to visit.''

Rhiannon turned to Ianto, aware of the plan. "Right bro, if your friend going to be here for a while, I can go home and collect the rest of the kid's things." Gwen smiled," Ianto I can stay for a while."

"Go Rhiannon, J and I will be fine." Ianto squeezed her hand and Rhiannon knew that was her signal. Rhiannon went into the living room and made a fair noise of saying goodbye to J before leaving the house with her jacket in her the door Ianto moved towards J's cot as Gwen pulled out her gun.
''Sorry Ianto there's been a change in plan. I'll be looking after J from now on." Ianto knew his best bet was to play stupid and asked Gwen what she was doing. "Ianto your so stupid, I'm finishing what I started!" Gwen took out her mobile and gave John his signal.

As John approached the house Jack and Owen waited to make their move. Gwen let John in, "So we meet again Eye candy. Watch where you pointing that. Let's get the kid and get out of here." John insisted.

Ianto feigned anger and shock. "You two are working together? I should have known. Gwen you're a real piece of work. This is how you repay Jack for trusting and supporting you by betraying him again? You just prove what I've known all along; you are a selfish cow who cared only about herself, and I will die and go to hell before I let you two monsters lay your hands on my son!"

''Shut it, shut it before I do it for you," yelled Gwen.

"Both of you shut up!" John yelled as he made his way to J which led to him and Gwen fighting to get to J first. As Ianto grabbed the gun he had hidden,
Jack and Owen had heard enough and sprinted from the SUV to the house. They heard gun shots and a scream and see a figure running from the house as Jack pushed a button remote from his pocket.

Then the world seemed to explode.
