Re-animation Part 2: Ianto's Soul

By Gwento Addict

Ianto was now confined in a white lighted cell, his eyes still a distant grey and his mouth amerced in blood. Every time Jack walked past, he tried to grab his attention but the thought of his former lover being locked up and being treated like a monster was too much for Jack to take, so he didn't stay.

Ianto found Gwen different to handle, he would stare at her and smack his head against the door, telling her to go and leave him alone, Gwen found this frightening as he kept slamming and slamming his head against the glass, leaving smears of blood down it, every day Ianto would bleed out of different crevices of his body, it was like he was suffering from Ebola and Rabies at once. Jack knew that the 456 wanted to leave something, which would devastate; as they knew asking for the children was going to be a risky operation.

Four months passed and Jack hid himself away, looking more like a mad scientist than a hero, there still wasn't a cure, with anything of this earth anyways. Gwen really didn't like dealing with Jack, he had mood swings and he would throw a punch at anybody who disturbed him, and she had to think of the welfare of her baby and not of how Jack is feeling. "Urm, Jack every time I walk past Ianto, he stares at me, and I mean full on stare!" Gwen said. "Well I don't fucking know why! Why is there no fucking cure!" Jack said as he pushed all his items off the counter. Jack looked into Ianto's cell from the monitors, most of the white surfaces in the cell had been smeared with white blood, and his suit had been ripped in many places, it had looked like he had tried to chew his way out of the suit.

Rhys had rung Gwen, he was now scared as he had just saw a guy looking very 'zombieish' as he called it outside the house. Gwen had instructed him to get as many clothes as possible and also as much food as he could and bring them to the hub, they were only going to survive this if they went into hiding.

Rhys came in a rush, he had got bitten by a psychotic woman on the way there, but he was fine. "Rhys, did you get bitten?" Gwen asked. "Yeah by a psychotic woman on the way here, why what's wrong?" Rhys asked. Gwen fell silent. "What were you going to say Gwen?" Rhys asked. "My waters just broke" Gwen said. "Jack!" Gwen shouted. "What, oh god!" Jack said, and then he looked at Rhys, took one look at his bite and pulled the gun out on him. "Don't you dare Jack Harkness!" Gwen screamed, "Just put him in the cells, but a comm's in there so he can hear and get the screen up, I want him to see our baby being born, without the risk of him biting us" Gwen cried. Jack escorted Rhys to the cells where he set up the equipment as Gwen dragged herself slowly to the Medical Bay; this new hub was equipped for every kind of emergency, with the exception of zombie attack.

"Gwen are you ok?" Rhys asked. "I'm fine for the moment, I love you so much" Gwen said. "I love you too, shit I'm going to turn into something like Ianto aren't I?" Rhys asked. Gwen nodded as a tear rolled down her face "Yes" Gwen cried. "But Rhys I will find a cure for this, it's probably staring us in the face, but we will because I'm not going to loose you!" Gwen cried. Gwen cried as Jack came to her side. "Right I have these things that go with this bed, I'm guessing your ankles go in them, so it's easier for me to see what's going on, am I right?" Jack said. "Yeah, I don't want any funny business, your just here to deliver my baby Jack ok!" Gwen said. "Yes, Gwen" Jack said. "Urgh here comes a big one ooooohhh" Gwen said as she moaned. "Ooh is this gas and air?" Jack asked. "Yeah, give it to me!" Gwen asked. "Urm yeah ok, how much did we buy Gwen?" Jack asked. "A lot" Gwen laughed. Gwen breathed in and out, it looked like the gas and air helped her. Jack gripped her hand tightly. "You are doing great darling" Rhys said over the comm's. "Urm Jack can you check how far along I am please" Gwen asked. "Okay" Jack said as he looked, "Urgh oh urm Gwen, you need to push now" Jack said. "How come?" Gwen asked. "Because I can see the top of his head" Jack said looking anxious. "Right" Gwen said, choking on her tears. Gwen pushed. "Gwen your doing great, I need you to do another big push" Jack urged. Gwen nodded as she pushed. "Gwen, you are doing great" Jack said. "This is just amazing" Rhys said. "I love you Rhys" Gwen shouted. "AHHHHH!" Gwen screamed. "Go Gwen, god that's amazing, here he comes" Jack said as he heard a cry. Jack grinned. "Is he ok?" Gwen cried. "He's absolutely fine, he's gorgeous just like his mum" Jack said as he wrapped him in a blanket and gave him to Gwen. "Hello little one, thank you for coming out of me" Gwen cried she looked at her son and she held his little hand. "He's adorable" Jack said. "I know" Gwen cried. "Can I hold him?" Jack asked. "Sure" Gwen said as she passed him the sleeping baby. "He's adorable, he's just so cute and he looks just like you" Jack said as he kissed Gwen's head and then put the baby in a cot they had bought, it was like a little hospital. "Get some rest sweetheart" Jack said as he wiped the tear from her cheek. He looked at Ianto who was sleeping on the floor, "I love you cariad, don't give up yet" Jack said as he went back to his office.
