Chapter Two

"Gwen?"

"Jack what?...Ianto? I…" Gwen couldn't believe her eyes. Standing in the door way she just looked at the man on the couch. What had happened during the night? What had Jack done? Is that why he came back?

"Gwen…" Jack tried to get out an explanation but he was interrupted before he got beyond her name.

"You didn't use a glove did? I thought we destroyed them all," millions of scenarios filtered through Gwen's mind all of them included Jack sacrificing Molly for Ianto. "You can't just give up Molly's life for Ianto's. That's not fair."

"I didn't…what?" Jack was speechless. What was she going on about?

"Where is it? How did you find it?"

"He didn't use a glove," answered Ianto.

"No, no I didn't," agreed Jack.

"Then how?"

"Nanobites," answered Jack.

"Nanobites?"

"Alien technology, they repair what's broken which brings back the dead. I found them when I was gone. I didn't know if they would really work so I didn't say anything," explained Jack.

"Oh, so he's back and he's not going to drain Molly then," replied a very suspicious Gwen.

"Yes on both counts," answered Jack who was looking to the two on the couch. Rebecca who Gwen apparently only knew as Molly had managed to control her sobs. She had pulled away from Ianto and was staring off into space. Ianto was looking at Jack and mouthing the name Molly.

Gwen looked at Ianto. He was back. Jack had brought him back. Before she knew it she had crossed the office threshold and pulled Ianto into a large hug, "I am so glad your back," leaning back she looked at him and the tears began to fall.

Rebecca stood up and made her way to the door, "I think I will go make some coffee."

Jack knew that Rebecca had to feel out of place. She was a part of Ianto's world but not this part or least she hadn't been. The three of them had been through a lot.

"I think that I'll just go and check the readings from last night," Gwen said after awhile as she stepped away from Ianto, "The two of you probably want sometime alone."

"Good idea I am not quite ready to share him yet."

When she got to the door she turned around, "Molly was just crying because Ianto's back right?"

"Of course," replied Jack, "Why?"

"No reason," answered Gwen walking into the hall.

The minute the door closed behind her Ianto was at the desk, "Why are you guys calling Rebecca Molly?"

"Something happened after her brother died. I am not quite sure what so we call her Molly. She told me that hence forth she will go by Molly," replied Jack sitting back down and pushing his plate aside.

"What?"

"She didn't go into more detail Ianto and she clearly didn't want to talk about it."

"When has that ever stopped you?"

"Ianto"

Ianto sat down at the desk and looked away from Jack. He was hiding something. More of the usual, after a year and a half nothing had changed. Jack still didn't share anything. He hadn't told him anything.

"Ianto?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Ianto"

"Jack I'm confused. I am confused, hurt and angry."

"About…" the phone rang interrupting, "I have to...Captain Jack Harkness here."

Ianto sat for a while as Jack listened but clearly he was going to be on the phone for awhile. Standing up he collected the dishes from the forgotten meal and headed into the hall. Finding his way rather quickly he went downstairs to the kitchen were he saw Rebe…no Molly cutting up fruit, "Molly?"

"Ianto, thank you but I could have done that."

"Jacks on the phone so I thought I would be useful."

"Thanks."

Together the two of them quickly had the dishes washed and put away and buffet of fruit and muffins on the island to snack on throughout the day.

"Ianto talk to me. I can tell some things wrong," Molly said as she put the final dish away.

"It's nothing."

"Tell me."

"I am just confused, but I am not ready to talk about it okay."

"You don't have to figure it all out today, but it might help if you told…"

Jack came flying down the stairs yelling out to Gwen, "Gwen is Rhys here?"

"No he is home with the baby. Why?"

"Hmm. Okay well then Molly your with Gwen and me, Ianto you can coordinate from here. I just took a call about a botched robbery with two suspicious deaths. They say it seems like something for Torchwood."

"You guys got a new car," said Ianto as he watched Gwen and Molly (that name is going to take some getting use to) grabbed their gear.

Jack stopped what he was doing, "Gwen?"

"We have three SUV's now along with other cars. Molly had two built and then she found the one Ianto lost," replied Gwen

"Excellent. Let's go ladies."

Ianto watched as the three walked into what had to be the garage. It was easier to where things were in the warehouse, but like everything else he would have to get use to it. Walking over to a random computer terminal he put in the ear piece that was sitting there.

He thought it was odd though that Jack seemed just as confused as him for some things. He had mentioned to Gwen that he picked up the Nanobites when he was gone. So clearly he had left, but for how long? What more didn't he know?
