Jack bounded up the stairs, his main goal at getting to the med bay. Pressing his comms, he spoke fast and breathlessly. "Ianto?? Owen?? How's Emily? Someone answer me!"
"Jack?" Ianto replied, sounding utterly confused, a few seconds later Owen replied on his comms. "What is it Harkness? She's fine, having a cuddle with Ianto. What's wrong?" Owen asked.
"Holly said that she's poisoned her. Just check her out Owen. Please!" Jack shot at him as he made his way into the med bay making both men jump. They forgot that Jack was actually quite fast when he ran, probably from all the running with The Doctor in the past.
"Ok, I'll check her out. She's going to pull a tantrum if I keep poking her about. She's sore" Owen pointed out as he grabbed his supplies again. The little girl was exhausted and frightened. She had settled as soon as Ianto had taken her into his arms but Ianto was weak himself. It was proving to be difficult for Owen to keep checking on them due to that fact, he wanted to leave them so they could rest and recover naturally.
Emily looked at her father miserably. "Want sleep Daddy!" she pouted, trying to hide in Ianto who kissed the top of her head gently. "I know princess but I just want to see that you're ok. Then you can go to sleep, I promise" Jack replied gently, crouching down in front of his daughter and taking her hand, rubbing her knuckles tenderly.
"How you feeling Yan?" he asked, unable to take his eyes off his daughter. Terrified of taking his eyes off her, paranoid that if he did then something would happen to her. Ianto picked up on it immediately and gave his lover an understanding look.
"Pretty sore and have a slight headache but our little lady has to come first at the moment. I'm out of the horrible dark woods according to Owen so don't worry about me Cariad" Ianto half smiled.
Jack brought his gaze to Ianto for a few seconds before bringing his attention back to Emily. "Just rest ok? I don't want to lose you Ianto" he replied quietly. Ianto sighed and nodded, knowing that when Jack was in this mood, it was just best to agree then remain quiet.
Owen crouched down next to Jack and started to check Emily over gently and carefully. "I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for Jack. Her vitals are strong and there's no sign of anything that shouldn't be in there. You sure that the girl didn't want to scare you Jack?" Owen asked seriously.
"She wouldn't have just done that to make me react like that. She would know the consequences at trying to piss me off" Jack replied with a sigh, his eyes widening as his daughter suddenly collapsed against Ianto, convulsing.
"See! I told you!" Jack shouted alarmed, trying his best to stop his daughter from hurting herself. "Jack! No! You'll hurt her trying to stop the convulsions. Just let her ride it out, she'll be ok" Owen warned sharply.
"She won't. Not without a cure. Holly's clever, I'll give her that but she's also forgotten that I have a working vortex manipulator. I'll be back in a hour or so, can never get my wrist strap to bring me back to the right second" John said, making all three men turn to look at him.
"Where are you going?" Jack snapped, as he stroked his daughter's hair gently. She had stopped fitting and Ianto had passed her to Jack so he could cradle his unconscious daughter. Ianto had laid back down due to Owen's orders and looked between Jack and John tiredly.
"I'm going to save your daughter! Where you think I'm going? Around the world in eighty days? I know where to find the cure!" John told him huffily before pressing a few buttons on his wrist strap and disappearing.
"Do you think he will?" Ianto asked weakly, causing Jack to look up in alarm. "Ianto? You ok?" Jack asked softly. Ianto was already closing his eyes again but stopped at Jack's tone. "Yes, just really tired. I've got Owen telling me to rest but how can I when my baby girl is dying?" he asked.
"Because you need to. Your body and the amount of drugs you're on are making you tired. Just rest Teaboy. We'll look after Emily" Owen replied, glancing at Jack as he stood up, still cradling his daughter and sitting on the other bed with her in his arms, watching as Ianto reluctantly settled down again.
"So will he?" Owen asked with a raised eyebrow, looking directly at Jack. "I dunno Owen. I hope so but we're talking about John here. He may surprise us both or he could be lying once again but he knows if he lied to me and my daughter dies, I'll be gunning for him. Just work on seeing what this poison is in the meantime" Jack sighed. Owen nodded and glanced to Emily, "you know I will. My niece's life is on the line and no way am I losing her".
