katwinchester: I had to have at least one hormonal pregnancy scene in this and thank you. I don't know how I manage to do it either, it's something I've been always been able to do. I just like telling stories and I don't really have a problem separating all the different stories (original fiction included).

Chapter Four
Tosh lay in bed smiling at the sight before her, she was on her side with her head propped up on her hand just watching him. He'd surprised her and she liked it
"Hey" he grinned looking up at her
"Hey yourself" she replied
"Are you gonna stare at me all day?"
"Maybe, maybe not. I might get tired of just looking and decide to play" she smirked, he chuckled then rolled over on top of her making her giggle.
Neither of them were aware of the man standing in the doorway. Ianto stood there feeling his whole world come apart; although it was true that he'd only been with Tosh for a few months he was sure that things were going well and she was his be all end all. How long have I been deluding myself, he wondered as he watched them rolling around on her bed.
Ianto cleared his throat loudly causing Toshiko and John to spring apart and sit up clamouring for the blanket to cover their nakedity
"Ianto! Oh my god I..."
"Save it" he snapped "Is this because I wasn't man enough? I thought..." he shook his head as tears came to his eyes, he took a step into the room "I was having feelings for someone else. Went as far as kissing but as soon as I knew that you might find out I was worried that you'd be hurt, I knew what I was doing was wrong! I despised the idea of cheating and I turned my back on something so I could keep from hurting you! And you... you... this!"
Tosh grabbed her robe and quickly pulled it on as Ianto fled the bedroom. She hurried after him to see him trying to unwind her front door key off his keyring
"Ianto..."
"Please" he begged turning to face her "Please tell me it wasn't because I wasn't man enough for you. That's all I want to know"
"You were man enough for me" she replied feeling tears come to her eyes. Ianto finally snapped the key off then handed it to her, he pressed a chaste kiss to her cheek before moving to the door
"I hope that you're happy with him" he told her then left.
John padded out of the bedroom with the sheet wrapped around him, he looked down at Tosh and she was crying
"Are you okay?"
"I... I think you should go, John"
"Not until I know you're okay" he replied. She turned around to face him, trying to glare but it was pointless. She sank against him and began crying.
Run. Run. Run. Away. Faster. Further. Just get away! His heart was pounding, his mind was burning and all he could think of was that this was his fault. He'd brought this on himself with his stupid confusion and his self-doubt.
When Ianto stopped running he sucked in desperate breathes, his lungs were burning and he was in a part of Cardiff he didn't quite recognise. He looked up and then he knew where he was! It didn't take him long to find the house, ring the doorbell and throw himself at the man who answered.
Jack was surprised to see a slightly out of breathe Ianto Jones on his doorstep. It had been several days since he'd seen the Welshman and he'd given up hope of ever hearing from him again, it was an even bigger surprise when Ianto kissed him passionately pushing him back into the hall so the door fell shut behind them. After getting over his initial shock he kissed back hungrily only breaking when air was a requirement
"Ianto?"
"I want to be with you" he cried "I want you"
"What happened?"
"Tosh and me are over. I've come to be with you... I'm tired of running, I'm tired of pretending. I need you, Jack, I need you" the welshman confessed as he began to undo Jack's shirt buttons. Jack thought about it for a moment, it was clear that Ianto was upset and hurt and on the rebound but as those nervous shaking hands completed their task of opening his shirt and started on his pants he realised he couldn't care. Right now it was enough!
Jack pushed the jacket from his shoulders then grabbed the hem of his shirt lifting it clean off and above his head before leaning in initiating the kiss once more. They stumbled topless backwards towards the stairs, Jack with his pants open, as they kissed hungrily. Ianto broke for air, resting his forehead against Jack's as they stared into each other's eyes.
Taking hold of Ianto's hand Jack lead him upstairs to the bedroom. The welshman was scared, terrified but he'd never been so turned on in all his life! Ianto had never done anything like this before, had never wanted to, but now it was all he could think about.
Jack shoved his pants off before reaching taking hold of Ianto's belt, he waited for Ianto to nod that it was okay before continuing. The pair toed their shoes and socks off so they were only dressed in their boxer shorts and that's when the doubt and insecurity set in. While he did want it, it was a far cry from actually accepting.
I'm not gay, he told himself as Jack helped him lay down on the large bed. He watched the self-assured American slide up the bed so that he was partial on top of him
"What do you want, Ianto Jones?" he whispered as one of his hands dipped down his torso to cup him through his shorts. Ianto couldn't help but moan low in his throat as Jack's hand began to stroke and tease him.
"I-I don't..." he muttered but it trailed off as Jack slid his hand under the waist band of his shorts and grasped his erection
"Do you like this?" Jack asked him, Ianto nodded furiously not trusting his voice to answer "Do you want me to use my mouth?"
Ianto's heavy lidded eyes flew open in surprise as he turned to look at Jack who was watching him intently, Jack was panting and his eyes were dark
"Yeah. Please" he said finally finding his voice, it was thick and his accent blurred his words. Jack pressed one final kiss to his mouth before sliding down the bed. Hooking his fingers in the waistband he slowly pulled Ianto's shorts down revealling the large member; looking down at it he silently thanked whatever force in the universe there was for Ianto's massive penis.
Jack's tongue swiped at the head sending the welshman arching up on the bed, he grabbed at his hips holding him down with one hand while taking hold of his lover's erection with the other. One tentative stroke and he was hooked "Oh god Jack... just please..."
He lowered his head wrapping his mouth around the head sucking lightly, Ianto's babbling turned into disjointed whimpers. With his lips firmly wrapped around Ianto's manhood Jack let go of his lover's hip and linked fingers with him as he went down on him "Mm yeah oh guhoood! Jack, I'm gonna... I'm comin!"
Jack didn't miss a beat and swallowed when Ianto came in his mouth. It could have been taken slow but neither of them wanted it that way, the welshman pulled Jack up so they could kiss once more. Their tongues dancing to some hidden beat as hands wandered heated skin; Ianto smirked when he remembered their wrestling the last time he'd been here and he quickly rolled Jack so the older man was pinned beneath him
"Ianto?"
"Yeah?"
"Will you fuck me?" asked Jack and damn if those words didn't shoot straight to Ianto's groin. He looked down at the older American lying there chest rising and falling eratically and he noticed that Jack was still in his boxer shorts, he had to do something about that. He grabbed the band and pulled the shorts swiftly down his lover's legs. That's who he is now, thought Ianto, he's my lover.
"Yes" he uttered as he looked Jack over properly for the first time. Despite being a few years older he was still trim with a toned stomach, his eyes widened when he saw Jack's cock laying heavy against his stomach "God"
"He ain't here..." smirked Jack as he took hold of one of Ianto's hands and led it to his penis. Oh god, oh my god! I'm touching his dick! Feels kinda good... he thought as he held the weight in his hand before sliding his hand down "Ianto!"
His eyes flickered up to stare at Jack's face, slack jawed and overwhelemed and it hit him; that he was the cause of this. Ianto was a little unsure what to do next, he was learning slowly and he was willing to learn quickly, he thought briefly about using his mouth but that thought was quickly chased away when he heard the door slam shut downstairs and a rather strong cockney voice call out Jack's name.
Jack sit up sharply with surprise and worry on his face sending it all tumbling down for Ianto; of course, why hadn't he thought of it? Someone as gorgeous, talented and rich as Jack bloody Harkness had to have a boyfriend. Why on earth would said gorgeous, talented rich writer ditch his boyfriend for him? Ianto scowled as he quickly jumped off the bed and pulled his clothes on, he was just some dumb rugby player... he was nothing but eyecandy. When Jack saw Ianto getting dressed he did the same then disappeared from the room to go and talk to his boyfriend
"What the hell were you doing upstairs? Have you got someone here?" came that loud voice
"Owen please..." begged Jack, his voice just as loud before the shouting fell quiet and Ianto couldn't hear what they were saying.
Shoes on and he practically threw himself down the stairs, he slide down the last four to crash into the wall at the bottom. He'd been expecting an oil painting but it wasn't exactly what he got; Owen had strong cheekbones and a cruel mouth but hardly looked like the type Jack would go for. Ianto was met with a firm angry scowl when Owen saw him and that was understandable, he was the man his lover was cheating on with
"I'm sorry" he muttered to Owen then grabbed up the last of his things and left with Jack calling him to come back.
***
Ianto was almost at his flat when his phone went off, it was Toshiko, so he answered it. He'd half been expecting a call from Jack and he felt a little more upset when it wasn't
"Hello" he greeted her as he pressed his phone to his ear
"Hey" she replied "Would you meet me for a coffee? There's stuff we need to talk about"
"Tosh I..." Ianto felt like he'd been turned to stone then hit by a lorry, dealing with his now ex was the last thing he wanted
"Please" she insisted and he sighed
"Sure. Where?" asked Ianto finally giving in to her. Twenty minutes later he was walking in a favourite café to find her sat at a table waiting for him, thankfully the guy he'd found her in bed with wasn't there.
She stood up pulling him into a hug and he stiffened against her, wondering briefly why his body was reacting that way to her when only hours earlier it hadn't. They both sat down and he ordered a strong coffee
"How long has it... no, it shouldn't be my place to ask that"
"Not long" she told him "We met for drinks and one thing led to another... it wasn't planned, it just sort of happened. I knew him from University before we fell out of touch"
"I see" he nodded, he wasn't sure if he was more or less pleased about that information
"Thank you" she whispered making him blink at her in surprise "I know we were together and that things were getting serious and that this must be hard on you... I do respect you and I'm more than grateful for you wanting me to be happy"
"What are you going to do?" Ianto asked her, she picked up her cup bringing to her lips before saying
"I want to be with John" she sipped her drink purposely avoiding his eyes, she didn't really want to see the reaction. In the end Toshiko looked up at him and was surprised to find no anger just sadness and understanding "But I'd still like to have you in my life"
"You're not asking to have us both are you?!" he gasped trying to feign shock but failing miserably, a smirk danced across her mouth as she set her cup down
"No. I want us to be friends... if you don't want to then I more than understand. But I do like you, regardless of what's happened and I'd really like it if we were friends. I know after what I've done that seems like it's asking a lot but..."
"I'd like that too" he interrupted her rambling, Toshiko couldn't help but smile.
"Is it too soon for you to meet him? Properly?"
"A little. Maybe in a few days..." he told her, honestly Ianto wasn't thinking about her and John he was thinking about Jack and that Owen guy. Having your heart broken once was bad enough for twice? Even when you weren't sure you were truly in love with Jack, his mind rationalised. Was it possible to feel heartbroken without actually being in love? He didn't know.
"Okay... you, me and John are going get together with Gwen, Rhys and Jack and we'll have a nice night out"
"Uh Tosh I don't..."
"It won't be that bad. Besides maybe if you're out and about you can hook up with someone? On the rebound"
"I think I'd be better on my own" he confessed with a frustrated sigh, she rolled her eyes at him
"I didn't mean you had to propose to some random girl! Just have some fun... still the same uptight Ianto Jones" she tried to sound playful but that really got to him. Ianto was more than tired of people saying how he was so OCD and uptight and serious! No one had ever taken the time to get to know him properly, not even Tosh, and they'd been together for nearly a year.
"Yeah, yeah sure" nodded Ianto agreeing with her regardless. As he sat there thinking about it the idea had positive weight in his mind... he'd tried drinking, tried accepting, tried forgetting and none of it had done any good. Maybe the best way to forget Jack Harkness was to find a girl, because he was straight, better than the American and have a fantastic one night stand with her. Yes! That's what he'd do!
"Right I have to go. I have to stop by the University to check on some things" she stood up and he copied her, Tosh stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek "Thank you for being so understanding. I know you're going to be a really good friend"
"No problem" he mumbled as he watched her go.

Jack glared at Owen angrily; just when things had been going so well! Yes, whatever would have happened would have been on the rebound but with Ianto about to go all the way he couldn't care and then his stupid editor had shown up and Ianto took off like someone had shoved a hot poker up his ass... or hadn't as the case had been, thought Jack as he stood scowling at his acerbic editor
"What on earth did you do that for?" he hissed
"Because you're supposed to be working on your next book! The deadline for this part is coming up and it's not going to get written if you're shagging around!"
"I'm not shagging around!" snapped Jack, Owen blinked and fell silent
"You... you're not shagging around? Since when? You're always shagging around... this is different isn't it? That guy..."
"I'm falling for him" explained Jack ducking his head feeling ashamed that he was falling for a breeder. Owen's angry mood softened
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so hard on you" he apologised before leading Jack into the study so they could go over Jack's progress.
"You should be. I think he thinks that you're my boyfriend" Jack told him trying to joke about it but failed miserably. Owen rolled his eyes as he dropped himself onto the couch
"No offence Harkness but I am way out of your league. Now, will you fasten your shirt so we can get down to business?" Jack buttoned up his shirt and handed Owen the printed manuscript so far.
