A/N We are going to a 'Handfasting' tomorrow and won't be home till late but hoping to post the next chapter in the morning before we go.

They stayed where they were, just holding each other and kissing until the cold finally forced them indoors. As they walked back to the cottage they had their arms wrapped around each others waists, Ianto's mum was looking out at them as she did some washing up in the sink, thinking how much closer they looked now than when they went out a little while ago.

She knew in her heart that one talk wouldn't have solved whatever it was but it looked like they were headed in the right direction, she couldn't help but smile to herself at the sight of Ianto and Jack both wearing coats that belonged to Ianto's dad. The one Ianto was wearing was an old overcoat that had seen better days and Jack was wearing one that made him look like he was wrapped in a duvet.

As they paused to kiss briefly before entering the kitchen door she smiled to herself, that was definitely a good sign as far as she was concerned. The twins had been fed and were sleeping soundly in their car seats, she and Ianto's dad had decided that whatever mood they came back to the house in they could do with some time alone, so they were going to take the babies for a drive.

“Okay?” She asked them simply as they closed the door behind them.

“Yep.” Ianto gave her a sad smile and squeezed Jack's hand.

“We were thinking of going for a drive, thought we'd take the babies out and maybe stop at the beach for some fresh air.” She told them.

“We could come with you.” Jack suggested, feeling a little guilty about the amount of time Ianto's parents were looking after their children.

“No, you two look like you need to defrost, we'll wrap them up warm in their pram and take them for a long stroll.”

“Thank you.” They said simultaneously as they peeled the coats off.

Once Ianto's parents had left they made themselves comfortable in front of the fire in the living room with cups of coffee, sitting on the floor with Ianto resting against Jack.

“Are you mad at me?” Ianto asked quietly.

“A little upset maybe, that you even considered leaving me and the bubs.”

“I'm sorry, it just seemed logical at the time.”

“I understand that, this isn't going to break us apart.”

“I had a thought, about maybe who I could talk to.”

“Rhys?” Jack asked, wondering if they were thinking along the same lines.

“Yep. He wasn't involved and he knows all there is to know about Torchwood and us now.”

“I agree, we need to speak to Gwen and find out what she told him about what happened and ask her if she thinks it's a good idea and more importantly if he will do it.”

“We will get through this, won't we?” Ianto asked.

“Yes, nothing is ever going to cause us to part till ...” Jack trailed off not wanting to even think about the day Ianto would die.

Ianto lifted Jack's hand and kissed the wedding band that adorned his finger, the back of his hand and then the palm before leaning to kiss Jack on the lips.

“Don't even think about that, I'm going be around for a long time yet.”

“Are you in much pain?”

“Not really, the painkillers are helping, why?”

Jack answered by kissing Ianto deeply and pulling him down onto the rug in front of the fire.
