I am really chuffed to bits at how many IantOwen fics have popped up recently. Before, it was kind of a taboo pairing, but since Letters Under the Coffee Maker, it's become a right proper ship. Well done. Back to More Harpers. I own nothing. Damn.
Gwen and Ianto arrived at the Hub to find the rest of the team assembling for a Weevil hunt.
"Can you go Weevil hunting in your condition?" Ianto asked quietly.
"What condition?" Jack said from behind them. They hated it when Jack was sneaky.
"Nothing Jack, just a bit fluish. Took some medicine and so Ianto's just a bit worried I'll be drowsy in the field." Gwen had obviously been thinking of excuses.
Jack nodded, "Good thinking Ianto. Tosh! You're coming with us. Gwen will be managing the coms instead." Gwen nodded and took Tosh's place.
She did Tosh's job and was out of the line of fire. The team had the Weevil and was on the way back. She had around ten minutes. This was a rough estimation, but it was a risk she was willing to take. She ran down to the med bay, picked up a small, high detail scanner, and pointed it at herself. Yep. Defiantly pregnant. Six and a half weeks along exactly.
"Congratulations Mama." Jack was leaning over the rail. Looks like her estimation was way off. She jumped and dropped the scanner, it broke apart.
"Whose is it?" Jack wasn't judging, he was the last person to judge, he was just questioning. Gwen held a finger to her lips, pleading in her eyes.
"What broke, I heard a crash, what hap- Oh for the love of God Gwen! We leave you alone for five minutes and you break my very expensive scanner!" Owen walked down the stairs and started picking up the pieces of his precious gadget at Gwen's feet. Her eyes were fixed on him. Something primal in her awakened and kept her fixed.
"Gwen. Who-" Jack started
"Shh." Gwen looked up, panicked for a moment, then looked back down at Owen, her face softened.
Jack looked between Gwen and Owen.
"…Oh! Um…I'll talk to you later Gwen." And with that, Jack ran up to his office. He looked out his windows. Owen and Gwen were fighting about the scanner. All he could do was laugh.
"They're having a baby…That's gonna be a messed up kid…"
