Jack turned to watch Ianto as he entered the bridge, checking with Toshiko as he took his place by the captain's chair, glancing at Jack before saying softly "Alicent demanded an explanation of Johnty. She knows. IT's your problem now."
"What?" Jack squeaked, totally blindsided.
"Oh… and I am moving berths. You can have your own so John can freely visit or whatever. Time Out right? Since you've had one for the last year without me knowing, might as well take your lover openly" Ianto moved away as Jack sat gold fishing, then he rose to follow, looking around to see that everyone was staring at them, not hearing the words but seeing some sort of problem happening.
The one who did follow him was the one who should have realized the problem but after all… Boeshanians are thick sometimes.

"Hey Eye Candy!"
Ianto slowed his walk, turning incredulously to find John Fucking Hart behind him and he frowned as he canted his head in what he hoed loked like a totally rude manner.
"Look… I know you and Jack have this weird open and then closed thing going on and I have always respected the times he said he was not available. But you can't really be pissy when he has his hall passes" John said, then made a strange squeaking noise as someone seized his collar and threw him back against the far wall.
Alice leaned in close to be face to face with her Sire, her face full of rage "What did you just say to MY Taddy?"
"Oh, my goddess… look at you" he laughed "What a spitfire. Wow. Boeshanian… wow… tell me little angel… do you…"
Her hand closed around his dick, and she squeezed hard as she leaned in close to snarl "Are you propositioning me? Really? Your own bastard? Wow. You ARE a fuckwit aren't you"
John's face drained of colour as he stared at her and finally saw his own cheekbones, squeaking as she let go to step back "That man there is my Tad. He has loved me, cared for me, cried for me and fought for me. He might not be my Sire, but he IS my Taddy. And if you hurt him, I will gut you like a fish!"
"Hey, what's going on?" Jack demanded, having finally relinquished the chair to Suzie to run back and find this.
"I'm just asking my… father…" she said with a sneer "If that one in your belly is his too. Did you and him cheat on Taddy again? Or is it just me to prove you are an adulterer!"
Jack looked at Ianto with surprise "Ianto… no. Hey, no. This is YOUR baby. I mean it… we agreed no more Johnty and I know he was a surprise, I knew you would be pissy so I didn't tell you he was there but… I swear, there has been no slap n' tickle with hm… I swear to you. This is your baby."
Ianto's eyes shifted between the two men as John started to laugh "Seriously… you have a Jack problem Eye Candy, not a Johnty problem. It's not my fault if he finds me more… experimental... than boring old you."
"John!" Jack snarled "Not helping."
"I don't have time for this. I am bleeding again" Ianto sighed as he turned to head for the medical bay and Owen who would grumble as he healed the wounds again.
"What do you mean… bleeding?" Alice asked turning to him with horror.
"Well, I got shot didn't I. I am bleeding and need Owen to reseal the wounds." Ianto waved a hand at his side with open annoyance "Not that anyone noticed. Why would they? Good old Ianto. Dependable Ianto. Boring Ianto."
"Come on. Owen, now! Come on" Jack seized Ianto's hand and started to lead him away as Alice refocused on John and folded her arms.
"So. You are my father. So? Where are my two hundred years' worth of birthday gifts ya wanker?" she demanded, his grin fading as he started to wonder if she was serious.
Ianto found himself giggling softly as he rounded the corner, barely catching her dry wit.

Owen saw them coming and guessed why, reaching for the sonic laser to seal the wounds and as Ianto gingerly sat, starting to roll up his shirt it was Jack who started to cry as he saw the damage Ianto had been stoically hiding. Deep, pitiful sobs as tears rolled down his face "Fucking hormones."
"Come on, Toshi love, get the big baby a hormone patch will ya?" Owen called out.
"No… I had one already this week" Jack sniffled, rubbing at his face.
"The bub is stronger, bigger. You can do two a week now to fight off the girlyness of your pregnancy" Owen said in an unkind way, but you have to remember that this is Owen and he does not mean half the things he says in most of the way he says it.
"So. Mummy and Daddy are fighting again?" Owen asked.
"I accused him of adultery"
"Ah. Right. I saw Fuckface too. Well... the baby is not full Boeshanian" Owen said as he sat back on a stool to regard the angry man now pulling down the blood-stained shirt to cover the burn mark. "I know of all the babies born around me, the full ones have a different colour on the scan. I don't know why. But your baby has like… gold dusting, not full-on gold light. She is not full blooded Boeshanian. Like all the other babies you two have had with me there… this one is a half blood. Gold along with the silvery white."
"She?" Jack sighed happily.
"Well… fine" Ianto huffed, still not sure what to think.
"So, what now?" Jack asked in a small voice, knowing he was not out of the hot water yet.
"Now, we get rid of Gwen bloody Cooper."
