As Ianto predicted not one member of the team would go home. Gwen did agree to go out for takeout though. She took everyone's order and left managing to prize Tosh away from Martha for a while.
"Come on Tosh, you need a break" she said gently
"I'm fine," said Tosh
"Gwen is right Tosh, I'm alright I'm not going anywhere go with her I'll still be here when you get back" said Martha, she'd grown really close to Tosh quite quickly, it wasn't anything romantic just really good friends she'd told Tosh things she'd never told anyone before like the feelings she had for the doctor and her real reasons for not travelling with him anymore.
Once Tosh had left with Gwen she asked Owen if she could talk to Jack and Ianto.
"You need to rest Martha, can it wait?" he asked as he adjusted the drip in her arm
She simply shook her head
"Well alright I'll get them but a couple of minutes only, then I want you to try and sleep"
"Thanks Owen"
He nodded and pressed a button on his earpiece
"Jack Ianto can you come down to medical, Martha wants you both"
"On our way" came Jacks voice
A couple of minutes later they appeared in medical
"Right I'll leave you alone for a few minutes" said Owen and left the room
"Martha" said Jack crossing the room followed closely by Ianto
"Don't worry I just want to talk to you both"
Jack pulled up a seat next to her; he pulled Ianto down on his lap and wrapped his arms round him
"Laying here I've had time to think and there's something I need to ask you Jack"
"What is it sweetheart?" said Jack " is the baby alright"
"Owen says she's doing ok at the moment but its her I need to talk about"
Jack nodded
"I don't want that monsters name on her birth certificate," she said simply
"That's ok you don't need to put it there, you can leave it blank" said Ianto helpfully
"I think that's even worse, I want her to have a father she can look up to, she needs someone to be there for her if anything happens to me" said Martha
"Nothing will happen to Martha"
"Jack you don't know that, all I know is that there's something different about you, the doctor would never tell me what it was but Jack its 3 years since we last met and you haven't aged a day"
Jack swallowed hard; he wasn't ready to tell Martha.
"What are you saying?" he said instead
"I want your permission to have your name on the birth certificate Jack"
"Me" he said surprised
"Since I arrived both you and Ianto have done everything you could to help me, you've given me a job and the promise to help look after my daughter, I can't think of two people I'd rather have bring her up if something happens to me, please say you'll do it"
Jack looked at Ianto
"Yan, what do you think?"
"Its your name Jack not mine"
"But it affects both of us, I won't do it if you're not sure"
Ianto nodded and kissed him
When their lips parted Jack looked at Martha
"Alright you can put my name on her birth certificate"
"It'll be more than that Jack, I want to BE her dad, you too Ianto you've got to promise me you'll be as much a part of her life as if she were your own daughter"
"Martha what are you trying to say?" said Ianto, he could sense something from her but he couldn't place the feeling
"Nothing I just want you to promise me, both of you"
"We promise," said Jack
"Alright that's enough, Martha you need to rest," said Owens voice from the door
Jack and Ianto stood up; Jack pressed a kiss to Martha's forehead
"Get some rest, we'll talk later," he whispered
Martha reached up and grabbed Iantos hand before he could leave
"Ianto" she said gently and looked at Jack
"I'll be right behind you Jack," said Ianto
Jack left medical as Ianto turned to Martha
"What's wrong?" he asked her
"Nothing Ianto, just promise me that you'll take care of Jack, he loves you so much"
"I know he does Martha, I'll never do anything to hurt him"
Martha nodded and closed her eyes. Ianto pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead and tiptoed from medical.
Jack and Ianto sat on the sofa at the end of the hub.
"Cariad" said Ianto
"Yes Yan" said Jack
"Remember when you kissed little Bronwyn when we left Scotland"
"What about it?" he asked
"I saw the golden glow on her skin, it disappeared before Cassie noticed"
"You want to know what it was?" asked Jack
"What did you do to her?" he asked gently
"She had a hole in the heart, they never picked it up at the hospital, in time it would have killed her and I wasn't going to let that happen"
"You cured her"
Jack nodded
"How?"
Jack leant into Ianto
"A little side effect of what happened to me, I can sometimes cure minor injuries and once I managed to bring someone back from the brink of death" he remembered the kiss he'd given to Ianto after the cyber woman had thrown him across the hub, he'd held his dying and broken body in his arms and kissed him. He wasn't going to lose him, he couldn't
"Me" said Ianto
Jack nodded
"I'm sorry Yan, I should have told you"
"Its alright Jack, I always knew you'd done something everything went black and then I was in your arms and you were kissing me but it wasn't like any kiss I've ever had"
"Yan you're the only one I've ever brought back and the only one for whom I'd do it again, you wouldn't believe the amount of energy that takes," he said pulling Ianto to him
"Why did you do it Jack?" he asked
"Yan I …"
Just then the door slid open and Gwen and Tosh returned with the Chinese
"Later" said Jack and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips
"Just know that I will always love you"
"I know," said Ianto as he forced his way into Jacks mouth, he needed him
"When you two lovebirds have quite finished, we'd like to eat," said Owen, it still creeped him out to see them together openly but he was trying to get used to it and his way was always to take the piss.
Jack pulled away from Ianto and opened his mouth to say something; Ianto stopped him with a touch of his hand
"Let it go Jack, he's trying" he whispered
Jack nodded.
The Torchwood 3 team sat round the conference table tucking into Chinese food. It was the first time since Jack and Ianto had returned that they'd all relaxed together.
"So come on you two, how come you didn't tell any of us what was going on?" said Gwen
"What do you mean Gwen?" said Jack laughing at Iantos face as he pinched the shrimp from his fork
"I mean you two disappear off on holiday and come back to announce you got married, didn't it occur to you that we might have wanted to be there"
"I bloody didn't" said Owen for which he got a kick under the table from Gwen
"Ouch, what the bloody hell was that for"
"You're supposed to be trying to be nice you prat" she said to him
He looked at Jack and Ianto
"I'm trying," he said
"I know you are Owen," said Ianto smiling at him
"It wasn't that we didn't want you there guys, we just wanted it to be private and personal" said Jack
"We have some photos if you'd like to see them Gwen" said Ianto
Gwen nodded eagerly
"Owen" she said
"What"
"Wouldn't you like to see Jack and Iantos wedding pictures"?
"Oh yeah great" he said with no enthusiasm at all
Ianto got up and went next door to Jacks office where they kept their wedding album
He returned with the album in his arms. Owen grimaced as Jack sat up and pulled Ianto to his lap, he was beginning to think he'd never get used to them being together openly.
Ianto settled on Jacks lap with Jacks arms wrapped round him, he placed the album on the table amongst the leftover Chinese food and opened it. He turned it so Gwen could see the pictures.
The first picture was the one Tosh had taken of them in their bedroom at 'border edge'. They were both wearing their suits with the single rosebuds in their buttonholes.
"That's lovely, my god Jack you look so damn sexy in a suit," she said going red
"Erm thanks I think" said Jack, turning the page
The next picture was himself and Tosh
"So that's where you disappeared to that weekend," said Owen suddenly taking interest in the pictures
"I'm sorry Owen, Jack and Ianto asked me to drive up, I really had no idea they were getting married" she lied, not able to look Jack or Ianto in the face for fear of letting the stoic look drop on her face. Of course she'd known they called and told her.
They finished looking at the pictures as Jack pointed out their new friends, Andrew, Michael, Cassie and Aggie.
"Shame we don't have a picture of little Bronwyn" said Jack
"Bronwyn?" asked Gwen
"Cassie, she gave birth to her daughter the night before our wedding, she's a pretty little thing" said Jack
"Beautiful, with a mop of jet black hair" said Ianto smiling as he remembered the moment when Cassie announced she was calling her daughter after his sister.
