Chapter-10

As Ianto closed the door to Liam's flat behind him, for the first time since he'd awakened in Laura Froblisher's flat, he was feeling relaxed. Like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders, even though the guilt of knowing that he was indirectly to blame for her death would always haunt him.

Once outside, Ianto turned swiftly as an uneasy feeling of being watched caused him to shiver. Scanning the immediate area he could see no one so Ianto sighed; this whole incident had taken a more emotional toll on him than he had realized or cared to admit.

Finding a bin away from Liam's flat Ianto disposed of the shredded files while waiting for the taxi he had called.

Ianto let his mental shields down, allowing Jack's feelings of warmth and love to wash over him. He basked in emotional bliss, content with the knowledge he could finally bring his son home and enjoy his family without fear of them being hurt or taken from him.

While Ianto was absently admiring the upscale neighborhood that Liam lived in, even across the city, Jack could sense Ianto's desire for them to move out of the hub; to have a home with a backyard where Josh could play with his cousins David and Mica. As the taxi pulled along the curb, Ianto let Jack know he was on his way home to him

In his office Jack breathed a sigh of relief that his husband was safe and coming home. Jack opened his blinds and unlocked his door, coming out of his office he asked Tosh if there was any rift activity predicted.

Hearing there wasn't any, Jack ordered his team to finish up what they was working on and go home

"Jack are you sure? Ianto is still missing." Gwen asked, utterly bewildered by Jack's orders.

Jack look at Tosh with a smile and conspiratorial wink, before speaking;

"Gwen, Ianto is not missing, in fact he's on his way home now."

Jack replied, clapping his hands together with a broad smile, he once again instructed his team to tidy up and go home. "Tomorrow I want you all well rested; we have wasted too much time on the Froblisher case, it's time we worked harder to close it. And Owen I need a name to go with that blood sample like yesterday."

"Listen oh fearless leader, I'm not a miracle worker. The Torchwood data base is compiled of tens of thousands of names!" Owen scowled, "but we should have our answer tomorrow".

Jack nodded as Owen grabbed his coat, followed by Tosh and a reluctant Gwen as they left the hub...

Ianto arrived back at the hub and entering through the tourist office took the stairs to their home. Once inside Ianto place the take-out from Jack's favorite Italian restaurant on the table, knowing Jack would be in the hub, he went looking for him.

Ianto found Jack locking down the hub, securing it for the night with everyone else already gone. As their eyes met, Ianto knew exactly why he was fighting so hard to keep his husband and son safe. Their lips met in a steamy, passionate kiss.

By the time Jack and Ianto had reached their home in the lower levels, the take out was forgotten as clothes were strewn everywhere their naked bodies rubbed against each other in a build-up of heat and friction. Jack pushed Ianto down onto the bed, and leaned in to kiss him long and hard, whispering words of endearment in his ear.

As their hardened erections rubbed against each other Jack pulled away to grab the necessary supplies, pausing briefly before gently entering Ianto in a single, steady thrust. Later as they lay in the blissful afterglow, Jack noticed Ianto had tears in his eyes.

"Ianto what's wrong?" asked Jack worriedly.

"It's nothing Jack, these are tears of happiness" Ianto explained, memories of Liam and what he could have lost remaining fresh in his mind.

Snuggling closer to Jack, taking a deep breath Ianto nervously spoke "Jack, about today "

"Let's forget it Ianto, you're home safe in my arms, that's all I care about. But promise me it will never happen again". Jack said as he gently began to kiss and nuzzle Ianto's neck.

Ianto turned, whispering his promise as he kissed Jack hungrily as they made love again before cleaning each other up and falling asleep in each others' arms.

Later Ianto was shaken awake by nightmare of the day's earlier events. Quietly slipping out of Jack's embrace so as not to wake him, Ianto went to the bathroom. After relieving himself he pulled on a pair of track pants and a tee shirt before quietly closing the bedroom door and going into the kitchen. Flipping on the light he saw that Jack at some point had put the take-out in the fridge.

Unable to go back to sleep, Ianto headed up into the hub proper and started to clean. With a garbage bag held in one hand he emptied all the overfilled wastebaskets and cleaned each of his teammate's desks before going into the kitchen and washing the soiled cups that had been left in the sink. After the hub and kitchen were clean, Ianto took a deep breath before venturing into the autopsy bay, dreading what Owen had left.

While cleaning and sterilizing Owens' medical instruments of alien goo, and mysterious fluids off the floor, Ianto couldn't fathom how one individual could be so sloppy. Satisfied that everything was perfect, he stood up from where he had been crouched, scrubbing a particularly stubborn stain with small smile.

Ianto was grabbing the garbage bag, ready to leave when one of the Owens' machines started blinking; alerting him the test he had been running was complete. Looking at the results Ianto is stunned to see Liam's biological name on the printout, then he realized Liam had to have been bleeding. That was the unknown blood sample. Ianto quickly deleted Liam's name, took the sample and contaminated it.

Going to Gwen's desk he pulled up the CCTV footage of the hub, making sure there was no evidence of what he had done. Shutting Gwen's computer down, Ianto lay his head on her desk as a few silent tears fell, whispering; "please let this nightmare end".
