Jack had settled Emily down again and watched as his youngest slept. Owen had to give her something to help her sleep since she was in a lot of extreme pain and was screaming the place down whenever Jack tried to assess the damage.
"I'll try and get her to let you look at her later Owen. She's a little traumatised at the moment" Jack sighed, running a hand through his hair and making his fringe stick up slightly.
"Its to be expected Harkness. She's been through hell and she senses something about Teaboy. Just let her rest. I really shouldn't have let you cuddle her for so long. The broken bones…." Owen trailed off.
"I accidentally hurt her more. I know. I just wanted to hold her, reassure her, let her know that she was safe. That I'll protect her and will never let her down again" Jack responded quietly. "I just wish Ianto would wake up, he's my anchor in so many ways. He's great with the kids and most of all, he figured out how to domesticate me. He's so special and I don't tell him enough" Jack told Owen truthfully.
"Because I'd probably start blushing and that would be embarrassing though you seem to love it" a weak voice butted in. It took Jack a few seconds to realise who had spoken and then he was off his feet and hovering over Ianto. "You're ok? You're alive?" Jack asked, tentatively touching Ianto's cheek.
"Well unless there's been glove activity and if there has been, we're so over Jack Harkness then yes I'm alive. As to am I ok? I feel like I've been run over by a truck at high speed. Now how's my little girl?" Ianto chuckled, nuzzling weakly into Jack's touch.
"She's fine. Obviously feeling the sting of being hurt but Owen says she's doing well. She's been asking for you. Actually I need to have a little chat with our guest then check on Griffin to make sure he's doing what I left him doing" Jack sighed.
"Griffin knows he's done wrong Jack. I guess he's feeling bad enough over the consequences of his actions. He's learnt his lesson. But knowing you, you've still grounded him am I right?" Ianto chuckled, before frowning.
"You alright?" Jack asked concerned. Ianto rolled his eyes and tentatively touched his stomach. "Stop mother henning, that's not the Jack I fell in love with and I won't stand being treated like glass, I'm stronger than that and you know it. I just found out that it's a little too soon to be laughing or chuckling, just a tiny bit of pain that I'm sure Owen will fix with his cocktail of painkillers" Ianto replied, giving his husband a look that said it all. Jack knew then just why he loved Ianto Jones. Everyone underestimated Ianto, they saw the innocent breakable Welshman when in truth, Ianto was completely opposite and passionate about what he loved, which included his job, friends and most of all his family.
"Just as long as you are ok and yes he's grounded for about two months. He's on paperwork and to do what he's told duty. He should be with Gwen at the moment helping her with her report" Jack told Ianto with a little sigh. "And Tucker? Its really quiet in here so where is he?" Ianto asked with a raised eyebrow. Their middle child could be a little hellion at times and it was rare for Jack to let him out of his sight even for one second, never mind fifteen minutes.
"He's with Tosh. She's giving him his English lesson. You know that he's still under home schooling. Griffin finished last year so I can't punish him that way…not that learning is a punishment" he amended as Owen glared at him. "Right, leave my patients alone. You can come back later and attempt to feed your daughter and stop Ianto from scarpering off…you know what I mean Teaboy, going back to work too early, you need to heal and rest". Ianto raised an eyebrow at that before shrugging, "scarpering? That's a manly term but since you're the Doctor and everything, then alright I'll rest. I'd rather be near Emily anyway" Ianto smiled, closing his eyes briefly as Jack kissed his forehead and then applied the same kiss to Emily's. "Rest! I'll be back later" Jack whispered before taking his leave and heading down to the cells to have a confrontation with Holly.
