AN: This chapter is set 5 months after the last, meaning Lisa is ready to drop at any minute. lol. As always, feedback is craved like crazy! Xx

They had spent the last few weeks preparing for the birth of their baby. They had decorated the spare room, pink and purple because by now they knew it was a girl. They had chosen a name, Cerys because Ianto wanted something Welsh and Jack liked the sound of it. Lisa had them on speed dial for when the 'big day' finally came. They knew the quickest way to the hospital during rush hour traffic.

They had everything planned. They were ready.

Until, of course, the day finally came.

Ianto was in work at the time. Typing away on his keyboard at super human speed, when his mobile began to vibrate on the side of his desk. He didn't even have to answer it to know what it meant. As soon as he saw Lisa's name illuminating the screen he sprang into action. Running from his department to Jack's whilst answering the phone and pulling his jacket on hastily.

He earned himself some funny looks on the way.

He flung open the door to Jack's office, still trying to reassure Lisa over the phone at the same time. Jack didn't fully understand at first until Ianto offered some disturbing hand gestures, and when it clicked, he dashed out the office along with Ianto, whizzing out the office building, and heading to the hospital to meet Lisa.

Ianto couldn't describe the feeling he had as Lisa squeezed his hand to breaking point, and her screams filled the room, but when he was presented with his beautiful baby daughter he knew exactly how he felt.

Ecstatic.

Jack had been standing outside the hospital room, anxiously pacing the corridor, when Ianto opened the door, ushering him in, and introducing him to baby Cerys.

She was wrapped in a white blanket and held securely in Lisa's arms.

Jack was speechless. He took Ianto's hand in his and approached the bed cautiously. Ianto's grin threatened to rip his face in half as Lisa offered him the little bundle of joy, her tiny fingers didn't seem real as they clasped his index finger. Her mouth was in a slight 'o' shape as she breathed in and out, her eyes were still shut, but Ianto could tell her eyes would be just as gorgeous as Jack's. Big and framed with long lashes, a mix of captivating blues, that he could spend hours on end looking into.

Jack stood behind Ianto, his hand resting on the small of the younger man's back, staring down at the baby in his arms, still in amazement.

"She's beautiful."

"I know."

They spoke in hushed tones, and were so lost in their daughter that they almost didn't notice the tears streaming down Lisa's face.

Ianto handed Jack their baby, and for a moment the older man didn't know what to do, until instinct set in and it was as if he'd been born with another baby in his arms.

He was a natural with her.

Ianto gave him a small smile, before turning to Lisa, sitting on the edge of the bed next to her, and pulling her in to a hug, running his fingers through her hair, whispering soothing words in her ears.

He could feel her tears soaking his shirt, the wet material clinging to his chest, but he forgot about that when he realised how hard this must have been for her.

Jack watched the scene in front of him with a half smile on his face as he rocked back and forward with the baby in his arms. Whilst a few months ago he would have been burning up with jealousy at this point, he now trusted Ianto. They were both in this relationship for the long haul.

He still wasn't entirely sure he trusted Lisa however, no matter how amazing what she had given them was.

Ianto looked up, looking straight in Jack's eyes and mouthed 'Love you.'

Jack's smile increased.

Ianto ran one hand down Lisa's back, whilst the other remained in her hair.

"Lisa? How about you stay with me and Jack for the first night after you get out this place, give you some more time to adjust, and some more time with Cerys."

All the while as he was talking he looked at Jack, checking for any sign that he wasn't comfortable with Ianto's decision, but saw none.

Jack hid it well.

Lisa nodded against Ianto's chest, lifting her head from Ianto's chest and offering him a small smile.

"Thanks." She saw the big puddle on his shirt she had made with her tears, and pressed her hand to the wet fabric. "Sorry, about that."

Jack stepped in before Ianto could respond. "Hey, you cry all you want. What you're doing is tough. And we can't thank you enough."

Lisa looked at Ianto. He simply nodded and smiled.

"Right, you get some sleep. Me and Jack will stay in here with Cerys. You need all the rest you can get."

"Cerys. That's a beautiful name. For a beautiful girl."

Ianto smiled at Lisa, and watched her drift off, before standing from the bed and approaching Jack, placing one hand round his waist, the other taking his daughter's hand in his. He rested his chin on Jack's shoulder and kissed the other man's neck, breathing against the warm skin. "Look at us, all grown up with our own family."

"Yeah. All thanks to Lisa." He nodded his head in the resting woman's direction.

"Yeah. Don't how we'll ever be able to thank her."

"I'm sure we'll think of something." Jack smiled and kissed Ianto softly on the lips.

"Have I told you I love you, today?"

"Yes, but it would be nice to hear it again." Ianto smiled cheekily.

"Mr Ianto Jones. I. Love. You."

Ianto smirked and kissed Jack again.

Lisa lay in the semi comfortable hospital bed, listening to the conversation taking place next to her. She just hoped that all these months watching Ianto and Jack together would be worth it, when she was finally able to carry out the plans that were brewing in her head.

AN: Ooh, cliff-hanger. insert evil laugh here. lol. The next chapter shouldn't be long. Couple more chapters till the end.
