Ianto didn't know where to go, running through the house and finding each room unacceptable.
Finally he found himself in the reading nook facing the corner and he felt his despair tenfold as he looked at where he would have put those perfect chairs.
He let his head fall into the empty shelving and started to sob, despairing.
Why did she let him live?
What is the point of this?
His shoulders were shaking as he cried, pushing himself in further, then getting annoyed that he didn't fit.
Suddenly he felt a wave of anger wash over him and he was tearing at the shelving, roaring and screaming was he slammed his fists into the wood, snapping pieces off.
Jack grabbed him with horror, trying to pull him out of the wall he was now buried in but Ianto flung him off and kept going until he blinked with confusion at finding himself in the spare room next to theirs.
He looked around and wondered what the hell had happened as Jack struggled through the hole.
"IANTO!" Jack roared, grabbing him and shaking him.
Ianto pushed him back off and squared off in a fighting stance, his lips peeled back.
"Ianto. Stop" Jack begged, "Baby it's me, Jack."
"I know it's you, I see you quite clearly sir" Ianto snarled " … and you are a danger."
Jack looked at his love.
Covered in dust, debris from the wall and blood where he had harmed himself while tantruming.
"Ianto?" Jack said softly, "I will never hurt you. I am no danger to you."
"No?" Ianto canted his head, looking unerringly like he was regarding Jack.
"I love you. As I have never loved before" Jack said sadly, "Even the Doctor cannot hold a candle to you, my love."
Ianto had stopped looking for a fight and straightened up, still glaring but now looking around as if going back to his confusion.
"Ianto, you just slammed through the wall" Jack said to him, "You just made a door for this room."
"Well … I don't know" Ianto looked around dazed, "Maybe … maybe this can be my room then..."
"What about the lovely big room we already chose?" Jack asked with a soft smile.
"No. That's yours" Ianto shrugged, "You can bring whomever home then. Get another Welsh bit, yeah?"
"Mickey was out of line with that joke" Jack frowned, "I did not replace anyone with you, and I could not replace you with all the Welsh in the world. I love you. Don't' you get it? You!"
"You don't want a child with me" Ianto huffed, rubbing the back if his neck as he did when agitated.
"What?" Jack frowned, "I never … wait. What?"
"You said you were never doing that again. You fought with ... with … her out there! You didn't want the child in her belly either!"
"Ianto, please" Jack slumped again the wall, "Just tell me what it is, tell me what you are so scared of."
Ianto snorted and paced as he rubbed his neck some more, "Where to start."
"You have a Predator's heart in your chest" Jack said after a few paces, "Let's start with that, yeah?"
Ianto nodded, "Yeah. Ok. Point."
"I don't care."
"I have altered DNA as a result" Ianto warned and Jack shrugged.
"I don't care."
"The Predator you scared off is the sister of the heart's owner. She chose me to house his heart, his spirit" Ianto explained, "She sees me as the keeper of his heart."
"I don't care?" Jack pushed off from the wall and walked closer, "I only care for you."
"I'm tired because my body is adjusting to its new self" Ianto said, "I crave … meat. I want to fight. The tail today, I wanted to leap out of the SUV and taken them on in the middle of the street. That's not me. I'm changing."
"I don't care" Jack repeated, "I care only for you."
Ianto turned for the coup de grace.
"I'm with child."
Jack opened his mouth to give his answer and froze.
"See? Care now?" Ianto mocked.
Jack huffed softly as his knees gave out and Ianto gaped as Jack fainted dead away.
