"I'm happy for you, Ianto. You deserve to be loved." she stated sincerely.
"So do you." He responded before pulling her into a fierce hug.
Coming out of her thoughts she decided to pay Ianto a visit. What she walked in on almost broke her heart. Jack was sitting in a chair next to the small boy, caressing his hair and whispering softly to him. His eyes were red rimmed and the sadness seemed to weigh the older man down. At that moment she knew she had been right. As stubborn as both Ianto and Jack were about not vocalizing their feelings, it was obvious that love was there and it was mutual.
"I should have told you everyday. I'm sorry. I'm just stubborn and set in my ways. I've lost so many people I've loved that after a while it's just easier to keep everyone at arms length." Jack whispered softly. "I was pretty good at it too, but then you had to go and catch me when I fell. You should have let Myfanwy drop me on the floor. Then I wouldn't have felt my heart skip a beat for the first time in so many damn years."
Leaning close to the child's ear he let his last words fall from his lips. "Now you're just a child, and I have to lock my heart away again. Someday Ianto Jones you will realize that you're the only one with a key." He wiped a stray tear and looked up to see Tosh staring at him with fresh tears staining her cheeks. He had heard her approach but he knew Tosh hadn't heard anything she didn't already know.
"Are there any new developments?" He asked.
"I'm imputing all of the characters from every Argolin device we have into the translation program. Gwen and Owen are getting them now." She hesitated a moment before she made up her mind on her next words. "I'm going to make things right Jack. I swear it, but when I do it better not have been for nothing. You will tell him and show him how you feel about him or I swear I will make you suffer!" She waived her small fist at him in anger.
Jack couldn't help himself; he raised his hands up in surrender and suppressed a smile. At that moment he was equal parts terrified of the small woman and in love with her for caring so much for Ianto. He had no doubt in his mind that she was clever and creative enough to be true to her word.
"I swear to you Tosh, Ianto will know." He responded then added with a small grin. "You'll be able to add to you CCTV collection as well. You know you could probably compile it into a DVD and make millions."
She thought she had covered her tracks well when she had saved some of her favorite Jack and Ianto hub moments before deleting them from the system. Blushing slightly she sighed and responded to Jack. "Oh I know I would. What makes you think I haven't already made it? It's too bad Ianto would never sign a consent form."
After a moment of looking at each other seriously they both burst into laughter. Tosh turned and headed back to her station.
"Tosh!" Jack called out before she crossed the threshold. She stopped and turned expectantly. "Make me a copy?" she smiled and nodded softly before leaving.
