As the alarms went off indicating that someone was entering the hub via the cog door both Jack and Ianto looked up groggily from the sofa, through half asleep eyes Chloe and Teyla slowly came into focus.
“Wakey wakey boys!” Chloe told them cheerfully. “Dawn of a beautiful autumn day.”
“Didn't feel like that at 4am.” Ianto grumbled sitting up so Jack could do the same, lifting the coat off the top of them as he did so.
“We got called out by Andy, there's a ... present waiting for you in the cold room.” Jack told her.
“More cocoons?” Chloe asked as Teyla just stood quietly watching the interaction going on before her.
“No, what looks like a decomposing very large insect leg.” Ianto told her, getting to his feet and stretching. “It smells revolting.”
“Lucky me!” Chloe groaned.
“There are two more cocoons though, Ianto and Damien will have to go and collect them when he gets in but I don't see how they can provide us with any more information that the first two.” Jack added.
“I doubt it, but at least we can incinerate them properly.” Chloe replied.
“Can I help?” Teyla asked excitedly, looking at Chloe. “I got an A+ in all my exams for all the sciences at school.”
“I don't know, Jack?”
“She won't be in any danger, will she?” Jack asked.
“Shouldn't be.” Chloe shrugged. “But you know I'll take every precaution.”
“Then okay, Teyla you can help Chloe but you do exactly what she tells you.”
“Sure.” Teyla replied. “Dad.” She added hesitantly.
“Right, work to do.” Jack told them as the cog door opened and Damien appeared. “Damien I need you to go with Ianto to collect two more cocoons shortly, Ianto, coffee first?”
“I could murder a cup, Teyla?”
“Please, milk and two sugars.”
Ianto headed for the kitchenette while Chloe and Teyla moved in the direction of the cold storage room. Damien went to his workstation where he still had a programme running as he tried to identify whatever was killing the people and cocooning them, Jack headed up to his office.
Chloe and Teyla carried the body bag to the medical bay and lay it on the autopsy table where Chloe slowly began to unzip it, Teyla gagged at the smell as Chloe wrinkled her nose.
“Well, at least it's not as revolting as the cocoons.” Chloe told her.
“It's disgusting!” Teyla replied, hand over her nose.
“I'll get us some breathing masks and spray the air with the special air freshener I concocted, should make the air more pleasant in about half an hour.” Chloe replied as he moved to the drawer that contained them, tossing one over to Teyla.
“That's better.” Teyla said as she slipped it on.
“Right, time to slice and dice!” Chloe exclaimed, picking up a scalpel and grinning at the look on Teyla's face.

After delivering the coffee's to the rest of the team and Teyla Ianto carried his and Jack's up to Jack's office, the cog door opening and Gwen walking in as he was half way up the steps.
“Fresh coffee for you by the machine.” Ianto called out to her before continuing up.
“You're a sweetheart Ianto.” She called back, taking her coat off as she changed direction in anticipation of coffee.
“Wait till she sees Teyla.” Jack said as Ianto handed him his mug.
“Can't wait.” Ianto grinned back, taking a sip of his coffee. “Do you think it was wise, letting her help Chloe?”
“Will keep her occupied, while we try and work out if she's genuine or not.” Jack shrugged, a little sadly.
“You want her to be, don't you cariad?” Ianto asked, moving around the desk and perching on the edge.
“I'd hate to discover I have another daughter and then find out she was here with ulterior motives.”
“Well, so far she seems lovely, and she certainly didn't try and take advantage of our generosity when I took her shopping yesterday.”
“Could still all be just part of some plan.” Jack frowned.
“Jack, I know but until we find out if she is or not we really have to treat her like she is your daughter.”
“I know, I do, it's just ...” Jack paused. “I know!”
Ianto drained his coffee mug and set it down on Jack's desk before taking Jack's empty mug from his hands and putting it beside it then lent down, wrapping his arms around Jack's neck and kissed him tenderly.
“But I do think we should wait a while before she get to meet the twins still, let alone telling her you are immortal, that you lost two years of memories that included her mother and most definitely they fact that you are pregnant.”
“Lets give her the week, while she's living with Chloe and see how it goes.” Jack agreed.
“Now, I best get Damien and go and collect those cocoons.”
“Can I have another kiss first?”
“Always.” Ianto grinned, kissing him deeply.
“Jack! Ianto!” Gwen's voice echoed around the hub followed by the sound of her feet running across the main hub.
“She's met Teyla.” Ianto grinned.
“Oh boy!” Jack chuckled as she burst through the office door.
