Rhiannon Davies was sad. The kids where off playing round at their friends house and Johnny was out at work. She finished ironing the shirt she was working on and pulled the next one out of the pile on her left, when she heard a knock at the door. Who the hell would this be at 9.30 in the morning? She thought to herself. She put the iron down and turned it off at the wall. She walked through to the front door and opened it and at first she didn't believe a thing she saw, there was a young girl, couldn't have been older than 19 stood in front of her, must be in the military she thought seeing the coat that she wore and behind her was Ianto, her brother Ianto. Tears started to fall from her eyes but it couldn't be he was dead. She tried not to remember the awful day she'd been told. Her mind was just playing and awful trick on her.

"Rhiannon, I'm Lieutenant Carter-Jones," she held out her hand and Rhiannon shock it, "may we come in?" she nodded and stepped back for her and the man behind her to come in.

"I'll go put the kettle on." Ianto said walking past her not really sure what to say.

"Rhiannon, I'm from Torchwood." Louise started as they sat down in the small living room.

"That's where he worked." She whispered.

"Yes and I know this is going to be very hard for you but Ianto is alive and in your kitchen right now." Rhiannon sat there shaking her head. It couldn't be.

"My brother is dead; I was told he died trying to save all the children." She stopped looking at her hands as Ianto came in to the room carrying three cups of coffee. He put them on the side and went and knelt in from of his sister looking up at her.

"It is me, I'm so sorry." She looked at him, tears now pouring from her eyes.

"Oh my, Ianto?" he looked as if he might cry as well. She wrapped her arms around him and started to sob. He hugged her back. She let go of him and looked at him closely.

"Why didn't you come back sooner?" the Lieutenant cut in.

"I'm afraid that when you where told Ianto was dead, we believe that's what had happen but in actual fact he'd been knocked out by the virus and was in a coma, he wasn't fully effected by it but when he woke up six months ago he had no Idea who he was and the people who found him didn't either, until a month ago when he started to remember. We believe he went through so much trauma that his body just shut down to protect him from it." Ianto was now sat next to Rhiannon on the sofa.

"So you can as soon as you could."

"As soon as we where sure, we came." Ianto looked at the Lieutenant.

"So who are you?" Rhiannon turned her attention to Louise.

"I'm Lieutenant Carter-Jones."

"She works with me." Ianto interjected.

"I bet she does." Said Rhiannon raising her eyebrows at Ianto,

"Why now?" Ianto said to her with a smile.

"Well you turn up alive and I presume well with a pretty young Lieutenant girl with the double barrel of Carter-Jones, I can't help but wonder."

"The Jones has nothing to do with me Rhiannon." The Lieutenant really hoped this was true after everything Jack and Ianto had been through she really hoped she wasn't going to be the one to pull them apart however accidental it would be.

"Right so you still seeing that boss of yours?" Ianto blushed and looked at Louise with a faint smile.

"A little." Ianto said looking at his hands. The lieutenant got up and looked at them.

"I'm going to leave you to it Ianto you can stay, just call when you want picking up!"

"No I should go back with you there is so much to do." He got up and so did Rhiannon.

"You're back at work already?" she said stunned.

"Yes well, I'm not doing any heavy lifting." Ianto said dryly.

"You'll come and see us all soon won't you." Rhiannon looked up at him.

"Of course." They embraced.

"Maybe be bring that boss of yours!"

"Or maybe not." Iantos eyes widened as he said it smiling. They said good bye the Rhiannon and headed out of the door. Ianto took the keys out of his pocket relieved to see the SUV was still there.

"I'll drive," The Lieutenant took the keys off of him and they climbed in, "how do you think she took it?" she said starting the engine and pulling away.

"Well, she always likes a good gossip!" They smiled. "I'll go over in a week or two, See how they are!" they fell into silence and made their way back to the Hub.
