Chapter 38


"Ianto wake up"

He lurched forward as he eyes fluttered open to see his sister standing over him with a worried expression in his eyes. "Lily what-"

"Yan are you okay?"

"What happened?"

"I came over to bring the supplies you wanted and to see if you needed help with anything when I found you sleeping on the sofa," she answered as she sat down beside her brother. "Well not so much sleeping as trying to sleep; you were tossing and turning all about. I thought you were going to fall."

Ianto realized that everything that just happened was a simply nightmare. That he'd fallen asleep while Jack was out handling a possible weevil attack with Sean. His placed his over his stomach at the same moment the baby inside decided to kick. "I was asleep."

"And having one hell of a nightmare if you ask me. What was the dream about?"

"It doesn't matter."

"It matters to me," Lily hissed, grabbing her brother's free hand. She could see the look of worry and fear in Ianto's eyes and knew that something was wrong. "So once again I'll ask you, what was the dream about?"

Ianto sighed and turned his body so he facing his younger sister. "Fine I'll tell you," he sighed again, "I had a dream that I lost the baby."

"Oh Ianto."

"And in losing the baby I lost Jack as well. He blamed me for her death and vowed never to forgive me before he walked away."

"Ianto it was just a dream."

"A dream I've been having for the past two weeks. It's the reason why I haven't been able to pick out a name for the baby or buy anything for her. I'm scared of losing her and Jack."

"Wow, that's deep. Have you talked to Jack about it?" she asked.

"I want to, really I do but I can't," Ianto responded sighing again. "I don't what him to think I'm being overemotional and stupid."

"You're not being overemotional or stupid Ianto. You're scared for the wellbeing of your child just like any other parent would be."

"You sure."

"Of course I'm sure," Lily reassured him. "You have to talk to Jack about what you're feeling. Who knows, maybe he feels the same way you do."

"I highly doubt it," Ianto laughed getting up from the sofa. "He's Jack but you're right, I should talk to Jack and let him know."

Lily laughed as well and pulled Ianto into a loving hug. "Of course I'm right," she replied when she pulled away from her brother. "I always am." She started to laugh again when she suddenly let out a loud shriek.

"What the hell was that for?"

"What the hell is that on your finger?" she shrieked again, this time pointing to the band that was on Ianto's hand. "Is that-"

"Yes, it's is. Jack proposed to me this morning and I said yes. We're getting married."

Lily shrieked again as she nudged Ianto in the shoulder before lifting up his hand to admire the ring. "Oh my god, when were you're going to tell me?"

"Tonight at dinner when everyone arrived," Ianto smiled sheepishly, rubbing his shoulder. "I wanted to tell everyone at one time."

"Well I'm not everyone I'm your sister. I'm supposed to know before everyone else."

"Well now you know but you have to promise to keep it a secret."

"How can I, have you seen this bloody thing. You'd be a fool not to notice."

"You didn't," Ianto pointed out.

"That's because I was listening to your problems," she countered back. "And I would like to think that your problems outweigh this bloody gorgeous ring."

"So is it safe to say that you approve?"

"Of course I approve. I mean I know I've only known Jack for a short while but I like him and he loves you, he really loves you. You'd be a fool not to snatch him up while you have the chance."

"Well Jack is a good catch." Ianto smiled, turning the ring on his finger.

"He is but you're a greater one," Lily grinned as she pulled Ianto a hug. "I'm really happy for you."

"Thank you Lily, and I hope you'll be back in Cardiff for the civil partnership."

"About that I've been thinking of staying here for a while, since you know, you're the only family I have left and I should be as close as possible. Especially now since you have a baby on the way, you could use all the help you can get."

"Lily that's wonderful. I could really use you in my time of need and your niece could use you too."

"I'm glad you approve."

"I do," he smiled, hugging her again. After a few moments the pair pulled away when Ianto noticed what time it was. "I think it's time we start preparing for our guests to arrive."

Lily nodded in response and followed Ianto the kitchen to prepare for the night to come.


Yes it was just a dream. A very scary and real dream but a dream nonetheless. Hope you weren't worried too much. Really sorry if you were but one more chapter left to post.
