Jack stood up and took Iantos hand, he led him to the office and closed the door
"Alright Yan, what's wrong?"
"Jack we need to get Martha to a hospital now"
"Why?"
"Jack the baby is moving around because she's contracting"
"You mean"
"She's in early labour, but there's something else you need to know"
"What" said Jack
"Jack the baby is empathic"
"How can you tell?" said Jack calmly
"She answered me"
"She"
"It's a little girl Jack, she knows something is wrong, we've got to get Martha to hospital fast" he said with tears in his eyes
"Alright I'll get Owen in here and you need to explain it to him"
Jack crossed to his desk and used the open comms system
"Owen my office immediately" he said into it as his voice sounded all over the hub

Owen was pulling on his shirt after screwing Gwen in the showers when he heard Jacks voice
"Shit this is it," he said pulling on his trousers
"Owen I said immediately" Jacks voice sounded out again
"Jesus Christ" said Owen leaving Gwen to get dressed; he headed into the main hub
"Where is he?" he said to Tosh then
"Who are you?"
"I'm Martha Jones"
Owen nodded
"OWEN" screamed Jack from the now open office door
"Alright Jack, Jesus I'm coming" he said heading up towards Jack

Jack closed the door behind him
"Jack, Ianto I'm really sorry," said Owen
"We'll talk about this later Owen, right now we may have a serious problem" said Jack and he turned to Ianto again taking his hand in his
"Tell Owen what you told me"
Ianto told him everything he could.
"You mean to tell me you can talk to unborn babies now" said Owen
"Not quite I can send emotions as well as receive them Owen, its hard to explain but I do know the baby is in serious trouble, Martha is only 6 months and she's contracting, if we can't stop her the baby will die" he said
"Does she know?" said Owen switching to doctor mode
Ianto shook his head
"Right lets get her into medical, I can do a scan and see what's going on" he said
"Shouldn't we just take her straight to a hospital Ianto says she's definitely in labour"
"Let me do the scan and find out exactly what's going on, I can treat her here"
"You can"
"Yes, if she is in labour I can try to stop it with IV drip"
"Alright lets do it," said Jack

They left the office to find Martha sitting talking to Tosh and holding her stomach; she looked up when she saw them
"Ianto I thought you said you could calm it down, its seems more active than ever" she said smiling
"Martha this is Owen Harper, Torchwoods resident doctor, he's going to do the scan for you"
Martha stood up and smiled
"Will you be able to tell me what sex it is?" she said excited
Owen looked at her
"Sure I can, lets take a look shall we" he led her to medical

Tosh went to go with her
"Yan can you keep Martha company just want a quick word with Tosh"
Ianto nodded
"Jack what's wrong?" said Tosh as soon as Martha was out of hearing distance
"Ianto says there's a problem, she's in early labour Owen is going to try and stop it"
"Oh my god, why didn't she say anything" said Tosh
"She doesn't know Tosh, the baby does though she reached out to Ianto when he entered her mind to calm her down, she showed what was wrong"
"She"
Jack nodded
"It's a little girl Tosh," he said smiling
"I need to be in there with her," said Tosh, she had suddenly become very protective over Martha despite barely knowing her
"Something I need to know Tosh" he said raising an eyebrow
"Jack we talk alright, her entire family has turned their backs on her because of the rape allegation"
"But when I met her parents they were all really close, I don't understand how they'd turn against her"
"She left out one little bit when she told you about the doctor that raped her" said Tosh now unable to look at Jack; she cast her eyes down at her feet
"Tosh"
"I oh Jack I said I wouldn't tell anyone" said Tosh with tears in her eyes
"Tosh I don't want you to break a promise you made but if it's that important, I knew her family they were so close"
"Don't tell her I told you," said Tosh looking at Jack with tears in her eyes
Jack reached up and wiped the tears from her eyes
"The doctor that raped her is married to her sister"
"Oh my god, now wonder they were so upset" said Jack fighting to keep his temper in check
"Poor Trish" he muttered
"Who's Trish don't tell me we've got another visitor," said Gwen finally entering the hub
"No we don't Gwen"
"What have you done to Owen?" she said looking around
"He's in medical," said Jack
Gwen turned to head that way
"Gwen he's busy, maybe now would be a good time to get your reports done," said Jack softly but there was a tense nervousness in his voice
Gwen nodded and sat at her workstation.
"Tosh I need you to do me a favour" said Jack as Tosh sat at her workstation
"Sure Jack"
"Can you search for any information on this woman?" he said handing her a piece of paper
"Callaghan, isn't that"
"Michaels surname yes, its his sister she vanished after the battle of Canary Wharf, she was never listed as dead or missing"
"She just vanished"
Jack nodded
"See what you can find out for me"
"Might not be much Jack, the records are very sketchy"
"Try Tosh please"
Tosh nodded and took the piece of paper he held out and started tapping into her computer. If there were anything out there Tosh would find it.
Jack suddenly needed to be near to Ianto, he crossed the hub and entered medical.
Martha was laying her left side with a drip in her arm
"What's going on Owen?" he asked crossing the room and slipping an arm round Ianto
"Martha's in early labour, I'm hoping by getting her to lay like this with a magnesium sulphate drip we can stop it, if not she'll need to go to hospital to have the baby"
"You all right Martha" said Jack reaching out his other hand to hers.

She looked up at him and saw the look in his eye
"Tosh told you didn't she," she said with a tear in her eye
Jack nodded
"I'm sorry Martha"
"Its alright Jack, I've lost everyone I ever loved there's only the baby left and it looks like I could lose her too"
She touched her stomach
"It's a girl Jack, Owen said it was a girl"
"I know sweetheart I know, and you won't loose her not if I have anything to do with it"
"But you can't stop it Jack, if it's meant to happen"
"Hey you came to me for help, let me worry about that" said Jack, he stroked her cheek
"Now close your eyes and rest we'll be back later to check on you" said Jack and ushered everyone from the room

Once outside medical Owen turned to Jack
"So does that mean I'm back?" said Owen
"That depends on Ianto, it's his decision if he says you stay then you stay"
Owen looked at Ianto; he actually had a scared look on his face
Ianto gripped Jacks hand as he spoke
"Owen I don't like being called teaboy or any of the names you call me"
"I'm sorry"
"Sorry is not good enough Owen, I'm a member of this team and you've never treated me as such, you always treat me with distain and it hurts"
"I said I'm sorry Ianto what more do you want me to do?" he asked
"Since you asked"
"Oh what"
"You said all I do is clean up after everyone and make the coffee, well for a week you can do everything I do round here"
"Are you joking?" said Owen the smiled disappearing from his face
Ianto shook his head,
"You can do the archiving, the reports, run the tourist office and make the coffee for a week as well as your own duties, then you'll see just how much I do around here" said Ianto
"Alright" said Owen knowing he wasn't going to win, he hated giving in without an argument but he loved his job here and whether he liked it or not, and he didn't, Ianto was second in command and Jack would back him. He didn't have a choice.
"I'll do it"
"Just one more thing" said Ianto
"Oh god what?" said Owen
"You don't make coffee for Jack, that's my job" he said. Jacks arm tightened round his waist and Ianto leant into him
"Speaking of which" said Jack kissing him, right in front of Owen. Owen had no choice but stand there and watch them kiss, he was leaning up against the wall by medical and they were right in front of him. As they parted, he looked at them and for the first time he realised they actually loved each other, he could see it in their eyes.
"I said I'd do it, just don't do that in front of me again, ever" he said shivering
"Get used to it Owen" said Jack and stepped back so he could walk past them.
"Coffee Jack" said Ianto
Jack nodded and pushed Ianto towards the small kitchen and the coffee machine. As Ianto started to make Jacks coffee, Jack wrapped his arms round his waist and nibbled his neck
"Jack please, I'm trying to make your coffee" said Ianto gently
"I'm not stopping you," he said as his snaked down his waist
"Jack for the love of God, I'm handling hot water" he said gently trying to push Jacks hands away from his groin
"But Yan" he said sulkily
"Cariad please" said Ianto turning in his arms to face him. Jack smiled and dipped his head to kiss him. Ianto kissed him back
"Cariad please go wait in your office, I'll bring the coffee up when it's ready"
"Its boring in there, there's nothing to do" he said looking at Ianto with his sad face
"Cut it out Jack, you could always try reading those reports that have piling up on your desk" said Ianto shoving him out the door
"Fine" said Jack and turned on his heel and headed for his office.
He wasn't really annoyed with Ianto, he knew he was right. He'd been neglecting his work but he couldn't help it, he just wanted him all the time.

Ianto sighed as he finished Jacks coffee and added half a teaspoon of his secret ingredient to Jacks coffee. He made himself a tea and carried them to Jacks office. As he walked through the hub he noticed Tosh was not at her workstation, he knew she was already in with Martha. He looked at Owen; he only hoped that he could stop the labour for everyone's sake. He walked into Jacks office without knocking. He was sitting at his desk, reading a report. He looked up as Ianto came in carrying his coffee and smiled. He pushed his chair away from his desk slightly
"I'm sorry Yan," he said suddenly
"You haven't done anything," said Ianto walking round the desk, he put the cups down and leant on the desk facing Jack
Jack reached up and put his hands on Iantos waist
"I'm sorry anyway," he said and leant into him, the top of his head touched Iantos chest, Ianto ran his fingers through Jacks hair
"Promise me we'll never go to sleep without ever making up after a row," said Jack
"Cariad what's wrong?" said Ianto lifting Jacks head up so he could see his face
"I walked away because you were mad at me and I didn't want you to be"
"Cariad I wasn't mad at you, I could never be mad at you anymore, I was trying to make your coffee and you kept touching me and all I could think of was taking you there and then either that or scolding you with boiling hot water"
"You weren't mad at me," he said
"No Cariad I wasn't mad at you, promise me though when I'm handling hot liquid please try not to grab me like that"
"Can I nibble your neck?" he said smiling
"Yes Jack you can still nibble my neck"
"Good"

Jack looked at his watch it was almost 7pm
"Lets send everyone home," said Jack
"They won't go, Tosh won't leave Martha neither will Owen, and I seriously doubt that Gwen wants to go home to an empty flat" said Ianto
"But I want you" said Jack
"That's never stopped you before," said Ianto
"True, lets send Gwen out for Chinese, she's the only bound to walk in on us" said Jack pulling Ianto to his lap and kissing him with such hunger Ianto had to hold on to him to stop himself fainting from the passion in that single kiss. Neither one wanted to break the kiss; it seemed to go on forever, their mouths together as their tongues explored each other's mouths. Jacks hands still held him round the hips; his fingers gently crept under the fabric of his shirt and caressed the skin as they kissed.
"Sweet tap dancing zombies" said Ianto when their lips finally parted
"Sweet what" said Jack looking at him smiling
"I don't know, it just popped in my head," said Ianto as their mouths met again.
