Summary: So sorry to tell you that there is still a computer-internet situation that I am trying to fix and work out but it is taking me a bit of time to do so. Nevertheless I promised that I will keep this story as updated as possible. Not one to go back on my word I will be bringing you three updates today to make up for the three that I missed. Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I would like to thank everyone who's been reviewing and sticking by me through this very tragic time. Not going to do much talking today so go ahead and start reading. This may take a while.
Disclaimer: I know I don't own this show but the boys need to get out every now and again don't they. Don't worry, I'll put them back when I'm done with them. I swear.
P.S. I totally forgot to mention that some of the chapters were beta'd by the wonderful and talents totally4ryo on fanfiction and livejournal.

Chapter 37
He wasn't sure what happened. One minute he was organizing some files and the next Ianto found himself on the floor, body racked with pain and calling out for help. He cried out again and still found himself alone. Finally, after what felt like he'd been on the floor forever Jack and Martha came to his rescue. Tears fell from his eyes as one hand latched tightly onto Jack and the over rested nervously over his stomach. Another burst of pain soared through his body as Jack walked the two of them to the medical bay scaring him even more. That's when Ianto knew where the pain was coming from. "Jack the baby-"
"Shh don't worry, I'm here."
"Don't leave me," he cried out in pain and in fear as Martha ripped opened his shirt, "Please-"
"I promise I won't."
The next moments passed in a blur as the pain increased and intensified. No time for an epidural, he was placed on the cold table with Jack by his side the entire time and cut into. He could feel his forehead becoming covered with sweat as Martha worked to get the baby out while Jack whispered words of encouragement. Ianto tried his best to keep his eyes closed so he wouldn't see the amount of blood he was losing.
"She's out, the baby's out" That was all Martha said as she walked away from Ianto and Jack, taking the baby with her.
Ianto was tired but still managed to smile at the news but it soon faded when he felt something wasn't right. "Jack what's wrong, what's going on," Ianto asked worried when he noticed the somber looks on both Martha and Jack's faces. That's when he noticed no sounds of crying were filling the medical bay. Tears immediately began to fall from his eyes as realization dawned on him. "The baby-"
"I'm sorry Ianto, I tried everything," Martha whispered as she walked back to the bed. In her arms lied his small motionless baby. Martha's own eyes were filled with tears as she handed the lifeless baby over to Jack. "I-"
"What happened," Ianto cried, tears falling heavily from his eyes. "Martha what happened?"
"I don't know-"
"But you said the baby was fine. You said that she was perfect, that there wasn't anything wrong with her."
"I'm sorry Ianto but these things just happen. There's nothing I can do."
The tears fell heavily from Ianto's eyes as he cried from the heartbreak.
"This is all your fault," Jack whispered, talking for the first time since the horrible incident. "This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you."
Ianto gazed into his lover's eyes and was instantly met with hurt, pain and anger. "You think this is my fault."
"Who else would I blame other than you? You did this, you did this and I will never forgive you," Jack spat out in anger as he walked away from the bed with the baby still in his arms.
He watched as his former lover stalked away from him. Mustering all the strength he could, Ianto pushed his aching injured body up from the bed only to fall down on the cold floor. "Jack please-" he cried out to the other man but his cries were ignored as Jack continued to walk away from him until he was out of sight. His body trembled in pain as thoughts of failure swirled around in his head. "What have I done?" was his last thought he had before his vision faded to black.
Aha, but you didn't see that coming. Well neither did I when I was writing it but I thought it was time to give you guys a little angst. I bet you're really glad that you're three updates today so you don't have to worry about what's going to happen next.
Kisses and Skittles,
