Jack didn't move just kept his eyes locked on Rebecca's scared ones and the barrel of his gun pressed against her head as she trembled in fear, too focused on the woman to even barely realise Andy was talking to him.

“Jack, drop the gun.” Andy ordered him. “Before you do something you'll regret.”

Jack didn't move or show any sign of hearing him.

“Please don't make me use force.” Andy continued, the other officers ready to take control as his command.

Andy frowned as Jack's free hand moved suddenly and put pressure on his stomach before he let out a growl of pain and let the gun drop down to his side.

“Just get her out of my sight.” Jack told Andy as he doubled over in pain.

Andy watched as the woman was cuffed and led out of the house by his officers before turning his attention to Jack, Jack's face was etched with pain and he could see fear in his eyes.

“Jack, what is it, what's wrong?” Andy asked concerned.

“I'll be okay, I just need to get out of here.” Jack disarmed his gun and slid it back in it's holster before moving out the house closely followed by Andy, ready to help him if he needed it.

Ianto wanted as his husband emerged from the house, Jack was trying to hide his pain but Ianto could see it in his eyes as Eloise struggled in his arms and called out to her daddy wanting to run to him. Ianto held onto her tight, scared himself for Jack.

“I think daddy has a belly ache sweetie, you stay in my arms for now okay?” Ianto asked her softly.

Eloise frowned. “Daddy sick? Daddy needs cuddles.”

“He does but lets wait till we get home okay?”

“Okay dada.” She replied as Jack made his way other to them and wrapped his arms around them ignoring the pain in his stomach.

“You're in pain.” Ianto stated, whispering in Jack's ear. “We need to get you home.”

Jack kissed Eloise over and over on her cheeks and forehead as they walked towards their car, Ianto driving while Jack sat in the back with Eloise holding her tight until they reached home. They had agreed with Andy a few days ago that when they found Eloise they would take her straight home, that they had their own doctor to check her over and that anything like that could wait a few days, she had been through enough trauma over the last week.

“You feeling any better Jack?” Ianto asked as he parked in their drive.

“The pains subsiding now, I'm okay.” Jack told him as he climbed out the car, Eloise taking his hand.

“Kiss it better daddy.” She said, Jack crouched down so she could kiss him.

“Thanks bub.” He told her, rubbing a protective hand over his stomach.

Ianto took Eloise's hand in his and they walked towards the front door which was flung open before they reached it, Claire standing watching with tears in her eyes as Caden ran out squealing excitedly at the sight of his sister. Eloise let go of both her father hands and wrapped her arms around her brother, kissing him as he screwed his face up but refrained from wiping it away with the back of his hand.

“You found her, you found my sister.” Caden said excitedly.

“I could hear you in my head.” Eloise told him. “Could you hear me?”

“Yep, daddy says we're special.” Caden grinned. “Come on.”

Caden grabbed Eloise's hand and dragged her into the house, acting like they had never been apart.

“You found her, you bought her home.” Claire said crying as they pulled her into a hug.

“With lots of help from lots of people.” Jack replied, tears of relief finally falling down his face.

Jack looked at Ianto and saw he was in the same state, the tears of relief and happiness they had been holding back now flowing freely along with Claire's as they hugged on the front doorstep.

“We should go in, see what the kids are up to.” Claire said, wiping away the tears on her cheeks but unable to stop them flowing.

“Now!” Stated Ianto as a news reporters van pulled up outside the house. “They've got wind of out good news, I can't be doing with them at the moment.”

All three of them rushed inside the house as two people got out of the van just in time to see the front door close. Caden and Eloise were in the living room, playing with the Lego as if nothing had ever happened, Claire quietly left the room to let the family have time alone and went to call Gwen at the hub to tell her the good news to pass on to everyone else as well as Ianto's parents before they heard it on the news.

Jack closed the curtains to block out the outside world as Ianto turned on the lights and then they settled down on the sofa just watching their twins play, it seemed the kids were a lot more resilient that they could ever have given them credit for and so much more than themselves.

They wouldn't kid themselves that Eloise would have come out this unscathed, they knew their might be nightmares and upset but they would tackle it as it happened. She looked well treated and healthy but they would get Chloe to check her over in a day or so just to make sure there hadn't been any abuse of any kind and then they would go away somewhere, just the four of them.

Ianto pressed his lips softly to Jack's. “She's really home.”

“Yeah, I can hardly believe it myself.” Jack replied. “I could just watch them play forever.”

“What will happen to her, Rebecca?”

“She'll be charged with kidnapping among other things and hopefully get the help she needs.”

“I never want to see her again, I don't care why she did it, I hate her with all my heart.” Ianto stated.

“I know, I nearly did something I would have regretted.”

“Is that why did you take so long to follow us out?” Ianto asked, his voice a whisper so the twins couldn't hear.

“I was trying to decide whether or not to shoot her.” Jack whispered back.

“That wouldn't have helped, no matter how much I would have agreed with it. What stopped you?” Ianto asked.

Jack placed Ianto hand on his stomach. “The baby.” Jack whispered just before Ianto kissed him deeply.

They heard a little giggle and pulled apart, seeing Eloise watching them. She jumped to her feet and climbed up onto the sofa between them.

“I missed you daddy, dada. I wanted so much to come home.”

“We missed you too sweetie.” Ianto told her.

“I told that lady I didn't need a mummy, but she was mean and wouldn't bring me home.”

“She was a bad lady but she's also not well.” Jack replied.

“Doctor make her better?” Eloise asked.

“Let's hope so.” Jack told her, not wanting to upset her with more details.

“Can we have pizza for dinner dada?”

“Whatever you want, anything.”

“Thanks dada.”

Eloise went back to playing with Caden as Jack and Ianto stretched out on the sofa, Jack spooning against Ianto as they settled into watching their children play again not caring about anything else at that moment about anything or anyone else.

The End.
