Ianto was pressed against the wall staring with shock at the woman who stood defiantly pointing a gun at him.

"Come on! Where is he!" she demanded.

Ianto blinked.

She sighed and pointed the gun away as she frowned at him, "Do you speak English? Don't tell me this bloody thing is blinking out again!"

Ianto watched as she pulled her sleeve up, showing a VM similar to Jack's but smaller.

Ianto's eyes widened, "I will never betray him!"

She looked up.

Ianto was defiantly eyeballing her as he stepped away from the wall, then he frowned as he examined her face.

"You look a bit like me Mam, around your eyes, like" he pointed out.

"You really won't tell me where the Doctor is?" she asked softy, wondering if he was simple.

"Him? I thought you wanted Jack!" Ianto snorted.

"What?"

"Your VM. Just like Jack's ya know and …. Oh." Ianto stalled out and stood staring at her.

"Are you OK sweetie?"

"You might want to …. Ah …. It's OK Cariad"

She frowned and then saw he was looking over her shoulder so she turned and looked at the snarling man holding a Webley to her head.

"Jack! She was looking for the Doctor" Ianto explained, "She had a VM and I kind of panicked."

"Oh. Hello, Captain Jack Harkness" Jack held out his hand.

"Hello Captain, Dr River …."

"Song, oh my god! Oh my god! Melody Pond! Oh god, you had better go get grandfather" Ianto sighed.

She spun back to look at him and her hair bounced.

"What does your grandfather have to do with things Sweetie?" she asked as she canted her head in a familiar way.

"My Grandfather is the Doctor" Ianto said as he tried not to hyperventilate, "Your mother and I knew each other. The Silence kidnapped us."

"Yes. They took me too!" River put her gun away as she decided she liked this delicate looking man, "My mother was experimented on."

"I know. I was there in the next bed" Ianto said softly, stepping closer. "You have her fire!"

She smiled and giggled softly, "You are lovely, aren't you?"

"Actually he's not just my grandchild" the Doctor said as he skipped over and grinned at her.

"Oh?" she smiled at the older version she found so playful like an old rock star.

"He's also your natural father, it would seem" the Doctor crowed.

"What?"

"The Silence impregnated your mother with my sperm" Ianto said as he glared at the Doctor, "I am your father."

She sat heavily.

"Oh my god, I sounded just like Darth Vader then" Ianto said to Jack who pouted as he nodded in agreement.

"Excuse me, if you lot are finished your weird blinking party can I get a bloody coffee" Owen snarked from the doorway, "Hey toots."

River looked up and suddenly her fist shot out, catching Owen on the nose and he flew back with a shout of pain.

"You asked for that!" Ianto snorted as he watched River bristle.

"God, but you are your mother!" Ianto laughed softly

"River!" the Doctor chastised, "You and Jack are so similar. Hit first, ask later."

"Works for me Doc, I love to … hit it!" Jack winked and River giggled.

"He's mine!" Ianto said stepping between them, "Jack is mine. Jack, stop flirting with my child!"

"Your …" Owen blinked, "Oh. Shit. She is a looker!"

River smiled and Ianto was the one who moved quickly, this time shoving Owen back into his arse.

"Mine!"
