The evening at the pub finally drew to a close around 2am when Jack turned to say something to Tosh and found her asleep on Iantos shoulder. He smiled
"I think we'd better go," he said to Andrew
"Thanks for a great evening" said Jack
"You're welcome Jack, will you and Ianto be leaving with Toshiko tomorrow"
"No we'll follow her back in a couple of days" said Jack as he stood up. He took off his great coat and wrapped it around Tosh as he picked her up. She was so light, she murmured but she was so tired she didn't wake up as he walked back to the guesthouse with Ianto at his side and his friend in his arms, her head resting on his shoulder as she slept.
Jack laid her gently on her bed and covered her with the duvet. Then he and Ianto went to their room. As he opened the door they could smell fresh coffee, Aggie had been in to tidy up and had even put on a fresh pot of coffee.
"Do you think we could tempt her to Torchwood" said Jack as he poured himself a coffee
"You'd soon miss my coffee," said Ianto
"Damn right"

Tosh left to drive back to Cardiff just after breakfast. It was Sunday and she'd told Owen she'd be back in on Monday morning. She intended to be there when he arrived at the hub looking fresh and relaxed. Right now all she could think about was getting home and sleeping in her own bed. The weekend had been perfect but she missed her home comforts.

Jack and Ianto went shopping. Jack had asked Andrew if he knew somewhere that would be open on a Sunday where he could buy Aggie a new coffee machine to replace the one he'd broken. Andrew gave him directions to a retail park, it was a good 2-hour drive, and so they'd be gone most of the day.

When it came to choosing a new coffee machine Jack was in his element, anything that made coffee interested him. Ianto laughed when he realised that they had been looking at different coffee machines for nearly 2 hours and Jack was showing no signs of being bored.
"So do I have to buy a coffee machine every time we go out shopping so you don't get bored" he said slipping his arm round Jack
"I promise whenever we go shopping I'll be on my best behaviour"

Jack finally chose a coffee for Aggie that did everything, it made all kinds of coffee.
"Don't forget we need a new one for the hub, you promised" said Ianto
"Ok, why don't we get two of these?" said Jack indicating to the one he'd chosen for Aggie
"Do we really such a sophisticated one for the hub" questioned Ianto
"Yan, its doesn't have a glass jug so I can't break it, besides you don't have to make me a whole pot anymore to last me through the night because I'll be wherever you are" he said kissing him gently
"Well it certainly would make nice coffee," said Ianto
"We'll take two," said Jack to the sales assistant
"Certainly" he said smiling.

After stopping for something to eat, they drove back to the guesthouse.
Aggie was over the moon with her present.
"You shouldn't have wasted your money on me," she said
"Aggie you have done so much for us since we arrived, call it a thank you gift and an apology for breaking yours" said Jack
"Thank you," she said kissing them both
"So how does it work?" she said turning to Ianto
He smiled as he explained how to use the machine.
"It'll help make things easier for you Aggie, you can make all sorts of different kinds of coffee" said Jack looking at his empty cup
"Hint taken" she said and picked up the cup, carefully following Iantos instructions she proceeded to make Jack a cup of his industrial strength coffee that he loved so much.
"Perfect" he said tasting it
"You can also make hot chocolate with it Aggie, just use chocolate instead of coffee and the milk frother does the rest," said Ianto
"What about tea" she asked
"That too" he said and demonstrated by making both himself and her a cup of Earl Grey
"You can make it even easier by making a pot of really strong tea and using the hot water to weaken it and heat it at the same time" he said
"This is the best gift ever," she said as she kissed them both

Jack and Ianto offered to take Aggie out to dinner but she declined, she was going to see little Bronwyn.
"But you two make yourselves at home, there's no one else here but us" she said
"Thanks Aggie" said Jack

"You know what I really feel like doing Jack?" said Ianto once they were alone
Jack looked at him and smiled
"Don't you ever think of anything else?" he said playfully slapping Jacks arm
"Not recently no, all I want is you"
"You've got me Jack, are you interested in what I feel like doing or not" he said pretending that Jack had hurt his feelings
"Of course, what do you want to do my sexy Welshman"?
"Relaxing on front of the TV with you and a glass of wine"
"Easily done, although I'd prefer coffee"
"I know Cariad"

10 minutes later Ianto had opened a bottle of wine left from their reception and made Jack a fresh coffee, they relaxed in the lounge on the huge couch. Ianto kicked off his shoes and settled down with his feet on the footstool, Jack lounged next to him, finally settling by lying down and resting his head in Iantos lap. Ianto rested an arm casually over Jacks shoulder; Jack took his hand in his and kissed the ring on his finger. Ianto watched TV, he thought Jack was watching too until he heard a gentle snore and smiled. They were still in the lounge when Aggie returned. Jack was still asleep, his coffee lay forgotten. Ianto was watching a movie with an empty bottle of wine beside him. He wasn't drunk, it took a lot more than a bottle of wine to get him drunk, he was completely relaxed and utterly in love with the man asleep in his lap.

"Ianto you haven't drunk all that on your own" said Aggie seeing the empty bottle
Ianto put his finger to his lips and gestured to Jacks sleeping form.
"I'm fine Aggie, its ages since Jack and I were able to completely relax"
"Well I was going to make a cup of tea before I head off to bed, would you like one?"
"I'd love one," said Ianto

Aggie went into the kitchen and returned a couple of minutes later with 2 cups of tea. She passed one to Ianto
"Mind if I join you for a bit," she said
"Of course not" said Ianto
Aggie sat on the chair next to him and curled her legs under her, hugging her tea
"Can I ask you something?"
"Of course"
"I was talking to Michael tonight and he happened to mention that you worked for Torchwood"
"We do," he said wondering how Michael knew
"I don't know exactly what it is you people do there, but I do know that after what happened in London in that place Michael lost his twin sister"
"I'm sorry Aggie, I lost someone there too," he said as the tears appeared in his eyes
"I didn't mean to upset you Ianto," she said reaching out a hand and touched his arm
"Its alright, Jack and I work in Cardiff, Jack is in charge we don't do the same work as the London office. Jack doesn't believe in 'everything alien belongs to us', we examine alien artefacts and lock away the ones that we see as dangerous to life on earth, the others we try to integrate into making life easier" he said
Jack stirred in his sleep, he felt Ianto tense, and he could feel him in his mind trying to bury thoughts of 'the battle at canary wharf'.
"Yan" he said opening his eyes
"I'm alright Cariad," he said tenderly
Jack sat up and rested his head on Iantos shoulder before seeing Aggie
"Aggie, what time is it?" he asked
"Its late Ianto and I were just talking, would you like a coffee?" she asked
Jack just flashed a smile
"One coffee coming up" she said setting down her tea

"Yan, are you sure you're ok?" he asked looking in his lovers eyes
"I promise Jack, Aggie just told me that Michael lost his twin sister at canary wharf where I lost…." He still couldn't bring himself to say her name
"Lisa" said Jack
Ianto nodded.
"I had to push the memories away Jack, I don't want to remember anymore"
Jack kissed him
"Its ok Yan" he said as Aggie came back in with his coffee

"Aggie what was it you wanted to ask me?" said Ianto as she sat back down
"I was wondering if you could somehow find out what happened to Michaels sister, she was never listed as dead or missing, its just like she vanished"
"We'll try Aggie, but the records from then are very short and fractured," said Jack
"I'd appreciate it if you'd try"
"Of course we will, if you could write down all her full name and her date of birth before we leave" said Jack

Soon after Aggie bid them goodnight and went up to her apartment. Jack and Ianto were not far behind her in heading to bed. Jack was in bed by the time Ianto came out of the bathroom. He stripped off and climbed into bed. He snuggled up Jack
"You sure you're ok Yan?" asked Jack concerned. Ianto was holding him tighter than usual when they settled down to sleep
"Just hold me Jack, I can feel the nightmares coming and I don't want them," he said suddenly starting to cry
"Ssshhh, its ok baby, you can't stop them"
"I know I just want them to stop," sobbed Ianto as he held tightly onto Jack as if holding him close would stop the nightmares. Deep down he knew that it wouldn't, he knew as soon as he closed his eyes they would take him. He'd be there again, screaming out her name and finding her strapped to that contraption screaming in agony as the cyber unit shut down leaving her neither human nor cyberman. Sometimes the dreams were worse, sometimes Jack was there when he found her, willing him to kill her there and then and stop the pain but he couldn't. He hadn't been able to kill her then and he hadn't been able to kill her when she threatened everyone he held close to him. Even when Jack had told her to go and execute her otherwise he'd execute them both. He still couldn't do it. Jack, Tosh and Owen had burst into the room and filled her bullets before his eyes. It wasn't his Lisa they'd killed, she was already dead at his feet, they'd killed the delivery girl the innocent beautiful girl that delivered their pizza. His Lisa had taken her life, murdered her and still he couldn't kill the thing that stood in front of him.

Jack lay holding Ianto close to him, if he could take the nightmares away he would but he didn't know how. He could feel Ianto struggling to stay awake in his arms
"Sleep Yan, I'm here," he whispered tenderly
"I can't, I don't want to dream anymore Jack, please don't make me sleep"
"You have to sleep baby, please just close your eyes I'm here I won't let anything hurt you"
"I don't want to dream anymore Jack, why won't she leave me alone"
Jack suddenly had an idea
"Ianto would you do something for me?" he asked
"Anything Jack, but please don't make me go to sleep" even as he spoke his eyes were drooping closed
"Anchor your mind to me and sleep"
"No, it won't help"
"We don't know that Yan, please try it, try it for me"
"But"
"Yan please, you do trust me, don't you?"
"Always"
"Then let me help you, anchor your mind and sleep"
Ianto nodded and as his mind touched Jacks he gave in to sleep.
