"Come on Abbie," Tosh called as she picked up her bag. Said teenager had fallen asleep in a little ball on the couch. Tosh hadn't noticed.
"Oh Tosh, she finally looks peaceful," Gwen sighed. She was right too. Abbie had seemed easy going during the day, but there was something in her eyes that looked, out of place in the girls youthful and innocent features. Gwen couldn't quite place what it was.
Ianto wasn't sure how she did it. Abbie managed to catch every man's eye, young or old, (sometimes women as well), be flirtatious, spunky and rebellious all while looking completely pure and innocent. Not even Jack could pull that off. It almost hurt trying to wrap his head around it. "You're never going to wrap your head around the contradiction that is Abigail Hall, Yan," Jack whispered in his ear.
"Wha-How did you know that I- I mean, how?"
"Because I know you Ianto."
"Tosh, don't wake her, she looks so sweet and peaceful," Gwen said when she went to wake the sleeping girl.
"It's not as if I want to Gwen. But there is no way I'm going to be able to get her into my car, let alone my flat if she's asleep," Tosh pointed out.
"Take Jack, he could do it."
Jack looked up from Ianto, "What are you signing me up for Cooper?"
"Helping me get Abbie to mine without waking her up, there is no way I'd be able to. Would you mind? I'd feel guilty if I woke her up," Tosh explained.
"Oh come on guys," Jack mock protested.
"Oh come on cariad, I'll go with you," Ianto said from behind him.
"Mmm," Jack sighed. "For you I'll do it."
He moved towards the couch and picked Abbie up gently. "We gotta go, Jessie fell in the well," the barely awake Abigail slurred.
Jack smirked, "Just go back to sleep Abbie."
Abbie's eyes drifted shut and her head fell on to Jack's left shoulder. Tosh, Jack and Ianto all walked out to their cars, Tosh and Abbie were going to go in one but Abbie wouldn't let go of Jack so it ended up being Tosh, Abbie and Jack in one car and Ianto in the other.
"Seems like somebody has become quite attached to you Jack."
He smiled down at the sleeping girl that was sprawled out in Tosh's backseat with her head in Jack's lap. "Yeah, I know I've only known her for a day, but I feel like I've met her before."
"Deja vu? Jack I thought you didn't believe in all that mumbo jumbo," Tosh said.
"I know, I know, but, still. I feel like I know her," Jack whispered the last part.
"We're here," Tosh said cheerily after moments of silence.
Jack carefully got out of the car and scooped Abbie up in his arms again. Tosh showed him to the guest room where he removed Abbie's jacket and boots, not wanting her to sleep in them but he didn't want to be disrespectful and remove anything else. "Goodnight Toshiko, and do me a favor, actually get more than an hour of sleep tonight okay? Don't stay up and work until four in the morning."
He got into his car silently, for once letting Ianto drive. "What's on your mind cariad?"
The sudden voice in the quiet startled him, "What?"
"Your eyes, they're distant. What's got you thinking so hard?"
"Later Yan, I'm too tired right now."
Ianto didn't pry any further.
Hope you guys liked it and just a little FYI, cariad means love in Welsh. Review, if you have any idea wtf is up with Abbie and Jack PM me, do not review! I want everyone to figure it out for themselves!
