Chapter-5
Jack frowned as he looked more closely at the picture ''Tosh isn't that the bear i help you pick for your nephew.''
Tosh smiled, "No Jack, That's the bear you picked for your son. I told you my nephews age and asked what would you get for your son at that age. You went straight to that bear"
For the first time since Ianto's death, Capt. Jack Harkness was slowly emerging as he flashed that 1000 watts smile remembering the day Tosh coax him into going shopping with her. He listened as Tosh told how Steven would take his bear everywhere, and if anyone asked he said it's from his other dad.
Owen was still unsettled by the fact he had been retconed, but he knew Ianto would never do anything to hurt anyone. With that resolved he needed one more question answer.
"Tosh, Martha. Since I was retconed by Ianto, how was Steven born?'' Owen asked.
"Before Ianto left Torchwood he applied and was accepted as head director of the Archive Research Department at UNIT. Once there he met with me and explained his situation. Jack he hated to involved me, but he had no one else." Martha paused before continuing, the stress of the day was starting to effect her.
"Ianto worked until he start to show a slight bump. I called the Doctor who was aware of the situation and immediately took Ianto off earth. A male being pregnant in the 21 century shouldn't have happen. Could you imagine what would have happen if UNIT knew? The Time Lord knew Ianto as well as the baby needed protecting, Ianto was gone a couple of weeks in earth time but much longer for time travel.
The Doctor didn't like that Ianto was keeping this from you Jack," Martha explained, not wanting a rip in the Doctor and his friendship."Ianto returned with a healthy baby boy name Jack Steven Harkness. Ianto wanted Steven to always know his father, before the crash he was going to tell you about your son."
"Jack, when Ianto returned to UNIT, he told everyone his girlfriend died during childbirth, and they name their son after a close friend, you. I took care of the paperwork, Tosh explained. "Only a few know the truth behind Steven parentage."
Owen had been observing everything in the conference room, Martha and Tosh was near collapse, he had to do something.
"Jack. Tosh and Martha need to rest, they are both tired and you need to rest also. I will spend the night here."
Jack nodded, thanking Tosh and Martha kissing their foreheads for helping him to understand and being there for Ianto and his son when he wasn't.
Tosh and Martha both agreed they were completely exhausted. Ianto's death and all the secrets they had to reveal had taken a toll on them emotionally. After cleaning the conference room and kitchen they called a cab, which took Martha to the hotel and Tosh to her flat.
Owen advised Jack to go to his bunker and rest, he would do a finally check of the hub before shutting everything down. Jack thanked Owen as he slowly walked to his office closing the door.
Before retiring to the spare room set-up for emergencies, Owen went to check on Jack in his office, opening the door he see a bottle of Scotch and glass on his desk.
But to his surprise neither had been used, looking down Jack manhole beneath his office, he saw Jack asleep in his bunker holding his sons picture, which was not in a frame. Owen left Jack office knowing he had made a choice and healing could now start.
