As promised, here is chapter 5! Response to this story has really tailed off so I'd appreciate it if you guys could just let me know if you still think its worth continuing as if not I have a few ideas knocking around for new stories in other genres.

Remember in my AU Jack doesn't meet Gwen on the hill to regain his vortex manipulator.

Once again this is Ianto's thoughts

And this is my OC Siobhan

This chapter is rated M!

The Reclamation

Ianto felt the burn of the bullet as it lodged in his shoulder. He whimpered in pain as he turned away from the bullet obviously aimed for his skull. The bullet was jammed there, he could feel it imbedded in the muscle and bone.

-We'll have to cut it out later. You can't go around with a bullet in you Ianto.

-Great.

Siobhan was bearing down on the shooter, her hackles raised and her teeth on display, drawn up to her full height she spooked the shooter into dropping the gun, just as Jack arrived at his side, pleading fingers finding the rapidly healing wound with a sigh of relief.

He moved past the hulking mass of Siobhan to face up to the shooter, who automatically paled.

"Jack!?" Gwen exclaimed, her eyes darting to Ianto who was casually licking the blood from his fur. "What are you doing here? What are they? What's going on!?" She asked, obviously confused.

"They are Ke'anuri, a breed of shape shifters that have been on earth for centuries. I'm here because they're here. And as to what's going on, that's not really my story to tell." Jack found himself blushing under the patented Gwen Cooper copper stare in the low dawn light.

Siobhan suddenly shimmered back to human form and produced a slim knife from the belt she wore around her slim waist. Gwen's hands automatically found her gun again, and trained it on the knife in the other woman's hand.

Siobhan rolled her eyes. "I don't think shooting me will help you Gwen Cooper. I'm stronger and faster than that gun you're holding. I'm just going to get the bullet out of his shoulder." Gwen looked at Jack, who nodded, and lowered the gun.

Ianto cried out as the knife dug after the bullet, ripping through the scar tissue. He lowered his head and breathed deep, letting the pain wash away with healing energy as Siobhan pulled the bullet out triumphantly. He shuddered, then turned his gaze up to Gwen, who upon really seeing his face for the first time, promptly fainted.

TWTWTWTWTWTW

Jack had caught Gwen, and was now carrying her as Ianto, in human form, smelled the way up to her house. He was surprised that this didn't bother him, Ianto looked so natural as he scented the sea air. Siobhan had gone, muttering something about it probably being for the best as she grabbed her surfboard and headed for a dirt streaked Land Rover parked just down from the Torchwood SUV.

Ianto hung back in the garden as Jack helped the now conscious although shocked Gwen up to her front porch. Rhys appeared at the door before he could even knock, gun drawn and pointed directly at Jack.

"What the bloody hell Jack! We don't want anything to do with Torchwood anymore! What have you done to her now!" Rhys exclaimed, even if he did drop the gun to help his wife into the house. She reappeared seconds later with a baby in her arms, and Rhys' arm formed a protective barrier between them and the captain.

"Why hello to you too Rhys." Jack smirked and winked. Gwen finally opened her mouth as if to say something, closed it again, before blurting out her question so fast Rhys barely heard it.

"It can't be him… can it?" it was almost a whisper on the wind, spoken too fast in shocked, weak welsh tones.

"Him is the cats father… at least that's what my sister used to say when I whined about Johnny." Ianto appeared from his hiding place, unconsciously rubbing his shoulder where Gwen had shot him. "Hi Gwen, Rhys… and baby Williams! What's her name?" he made a step towards them, but Gwen and Rhys both withdrew from him. He frowned, before retreating. "I get it, friend that isn't Jack back from the dead isn't exactly what you were expecting."

Jack moved to beside him, placing a comforting hand on the younger mans shoulder.

"How?!" Rhys finally blurted out. "I mean, no offence mate but Gwen saw your body. You were definitely dead."

"Not quite. My body was trying to purge the virus, but to do that it had to trick it into thinking my body was entering cellular death. Slowed down all my vital signs, made me appear for all intents and purposes dead. I'm not quite human… our people kind of evolved alongside humans- we're genetically compatible after all which means we're technically the same species." Ianto explained, watching the couples faces as they took in what he meant.

"You mean I just left you there for dead? You were alive and I… we left you there! And I shot you!" Gwen exclaimed, throwing the baby at Rhys and racing towards Ianto to grab him in a hug.

"It wasn't your fault Gwen, you weren't to know I was alive. Siobhan came and picked me up. In all honesty, I don't know how I survived- I have the bloodline but it should be too weak… I could never heal before." He returned the hug, pulling her against his chest. She grabbed onto him like he was going to disappear, and Jack had to pry her off before she crushed him.

"Come inside! You haven't met Anwen yet, either of you! And we have something for you Jack!" Jack was bemused, but he followed the excitable Welshwoman into her house by the sea.

Rhys put the kettle on and Ianto found himself sat next to the baby on the floor, who was making those cute baby noises and sucking her toes. Jack was sat on the sofa behind him, his knees providing a warm body for Ianto to lean against.

As Rhys reappeared with the tea (he didn't dare try give Ianto the instant coffee he drank) Gwen sprung into the room with none other than Jack's Vortex Manipulator in her hand, waving it proudly.

"We managed to pull it from the wreckage of the hub. As indestructible as its owner it is. We put a new strap on it for you" Gwen explained, and Jack immediately put it on, relishing the familiar feeling of it on his wrist once more.

"Cost me fifty quid it did." Rhys grumbled playfully, and Ianto laughed.

"Bill me!" Jack shot back, and proceeded to start fiddling with the buttons.

"Don't even think about zipping off Harkness. I don't want you teleporting around my daughter." Gwen admonished, and Jack blushed sheepishly. "You can stay with us until tomorrow, right Rhys?" she nudged her husband as he coughed around his team and nodded.

The friends sat up talking until the late hours, with Rhys or Gwen disappearing out to get food or drinks or settle the baby. Eventually, exhausted, Rhys escorted the two men to their unused guest room, and bade them goodnight with a look that said 'if you wake the baby up I'll kill you'.

Ianto blushed at this, but it didn't stop Jack once again fusing his lips to his. He pushed him away again.

"Jack, I can't control it when you get me all worked up. I could hurt you!" Ianto pleaded, but Jack simply pulled him onto the bed.

"It's not like you could kill me Yan." He ran his nose along the younger mans neck before nipping at his ear.

"I could wake the baby?"

"Her parents are Gwen and Rhys, I'm sure she's been woken a few times by them arguing"

"Fuck it then." Ianto grinned, and used his new strength to flip Jack onto his back, aligning their pelvises. Jack surged up to capture his lips once more, and the younger man emitted a low growl as his arousal grew against Jack's.

The two men battled for dominance of each others bodies, engorged arousals pressed tightly together as they pulled off each others clothing. Jack managed to flip Ianto while he was distracted, and with a wink pulled a packet from his coat pocket.

Ianto rolled his eyes at Jack's boy scout like preparation by bringing lube, but the minute Jack's fingers nudged his prostate he was lost to sensation. The two men undulated and Ianto fought to stay in control of his shape, his teeth morphing into fangs as he stopped himself from crying out as the two found their pleasure in each other once more.

It's been a while since I've done a love scene, so please let me know what you think?
