Bunny sat trying to look pleased as Adam sat with an arm around her, Jack's confused expression not helping much. Rod had made a call and now as the doorbell rang he leapt up to race to get it, Bunny watching with growing dread as that voice in the back of her mind whispered who is was out there.

Bitch.

Rod entered and Jack rose from his chair, his anger thrumming but Adam was there, tapping his arm and speaking softly. Gwen flounced in looking at Bunny with triumph, then sat as Jack rushed to settled next to her "Gwen, where were you? I've been waiting here for bloody hours."

"Had to look my best for you, husband" she purred and Bunny felt her hackles rise, looking away so it didn't show as Adam sat to rub his hand on her leg.

"Well, lovebirds shouldn't be apart, should they" he said as he looked at Bunny, "My wife and I definitely know the satisfaction of a good afternoon delight, maybe after lunch we should all take some … ah …. Siesta time."

Really?

Bunny smiled sweetly at him, "Before then sweetie, I need to go powder me nose."

"Sweet bunny nose" he leaned in and kissed her, then she shot from the room and took a deep breath as she imagined killing Gwen in all sorts of different ways. Then she took a deep breath and settled herself, picking up the phone.

"Maureen? Hi, it's Bunny. Did you record the show last night? Yes, that was funny. Yes. Wonderful. Any chance I can get you to email a copy over?" Bunny purred as she pulled her purse over and rifled around for her phone. She checked it, "Ah. Lovely ta sweetie."

Bunny then played it back, watching for the point where Adam leaned back and spoke the magic word to release them all.

Gotcha.

Gwen was still preening in Jack's lap, Quinn sitting in hers like a little teddy bear, his face a picture of alarm as this strange lady tried to kiss him. He did what any toddler would do.

He screamed.

Bunny shot in to swoop him up and Adam rose, "Now love. You know he needs discipline. Go get the bloody nanny, here the hell is he?"

Bunny took a breath, "I will go find him. Jack, maybe you should carry your child?"

"Yeah" Jack leapt up, "Right."

She led him out of the room and down the hall, then turned as he entered the room and then closed the door. He turned with surprise, "Bunny?"

"Phone" she said as she held out her cell phone, "A message. Push play."

Jack did as he was told, her power over him still more than the red headed freak could ever achieve and as he listened to the release word his face changed to one of total fury.

"Jack. We…" Bunny whispered as Jack lowered the phone and glared at her.

"What the fuck is this?" he demanded, holding out the phone and she remembered Adam whispering something to him on the stage no one else could hear … a back-up plan?

"Who am I?" she asked gently.

"Bunny."

"And?"

"and?" he repeated.

"And Ianto. Remember? I am your husband. Your wife. Your love. We have a baby together, we have a life together" she said as she stepped closer, "Jack fight it. Adam has put a suggestion in your head that the release word hasn't removed. You wouldn't kiss me last night? Something about me? A feeling? Wait."

She tore off her wig and hair net, then reached for tissues to scrub at her face and Jack seemed to waiver, then gasped, "Ianto. Shit. You're right. As Bunny you … made me feel … shit. I mean … like enraged. Like you had wronged me but as yourself … it's gone."

"Bastard" Ianto snarled, "Gwen must have forgotten to explain that we are both one person. By locking out Bunny it made no sense that Ianto wasn't either. He obviously doesn't know."

"He soon will, as soon as Gwen realises it she will give it up" Jack frowned, "Son of a whore."

"Jerry" Ianto looked out the window, "They're coming back Go head them off and … shit. Look at me. Between. I can't go out … gods. I will shoot up the stairs with Quinn, you head out there and tell Jerry what is happening. I will lock Quinn in the bedroom where he is safe with Franny and you fucking get rid of her. Preferably in a deep hole somewhere."

"Deal" Jack handed over the toddler who sighed with relief as he seized onto his beloved and Ianto checked the coast was clear then ran upstairs to wait for Francine when Jack would send her up, Jack slipping outside to warn Jerry and get a hold of the rifle as well. Ianto headed for his room to remove the Bunny tracing.

It was all going to be OK.

Ianto was sure of it as he turned the key in the lock and turned to find …

Gwen sitting on the end of the bed.

Well ….

Fuck.
