A/N There maybe a second chapter later if i have time ...
By the early evening Chloe had matched all the victims DNA with the police's missing persons reports but they decided to wait till the following day before questioning the families and friends to see if they could come up with some kind of link between them. All they had so far was that three were female and one was male all aged between eighteen and thirty. And that there was at least another half a dozen unexplained disappearances over the last month or so.
It was agreed that Gwen and Damien would take two of the cases and Chloe and Teyla the other two while Jack and Ianto stayed behind and manned the hub the following day. Gwen was also told by Jack that if there was the slightest hint of danger she was to return to the hub, as was Teyla. Jack wished them all a good evening and he and Ianto went home to talk to Claire and the twins about Teyla.
When they got home the twins had just finished their evening meal and were watching a DVD while Claire loaded the dishwasher and tidied the kitchen, as soon as the kids knew they were home they ignored the TV and ran to greet their parents. After lots of hugs and kisses all round they settled down on the sofa with them to watch the rest of the DVD until Claire appeared.
“Claire.” Jack smiled softly at her. “We need to talk to you, you and the twins.”
“Something wrong?” Claire asked frowning. “Is it the baby?” She asked softly.
“Nope, babies fine.” Ianto replied.
Claire sat on the armchair opposite and looked at them, waiting for one of them to speak.
“Kids, can we need to turn the DVD off for a minute, we need to tell you something important.”
“Okay daddy.” Eloise replied, picking up the remote and pressing the 'stop' button.
Jack cleared his throat, then took a deep breath. “How would you feel about having a big sister?”
“How can we have a big sister, babies are little?” Caden asked.
“She's not a baby bub, daddy found out that he has another daughter that her mummy never told daddy about.” Ianto explained.
“Before you met dada?” Eloise asked accusingly making all of them chuckle a little and breaking the tension.
“Yeah, a long time before I met dada sweetheart.” Jack told her, kissing the top of her head. “It's a little hard to explain but you know daddy is from the future?”
Both Caden and Eloise nodded.
“Well, I met her mummy a long time ago before I came to this time and met dada.” Jack told them, grateful that his kids knew why their daddy was special.
“Is she very old then?” Asked Caden.
“Nope.” Ianto laughed. “She's sixteen.”
“Wibbly wobbly ...” Jack began.
“Timey wimey stuff.” The twins finished.
“Too much time spent with the Doctor!” Jack exclaimed. “But yes.”
“How did she get here, and why?” Asked Claire curiously.
“She came through the rift, using one of these.” Jack indicated his wrist strap. “It's not hers, she 'borrowed' it. Her mum died and she wanted to find her father.”
“And you knew nothing about her?”
“No, she told me her mum told her that she ever told me.”
“Wow, that must have been a bit of a shock.” Claire replied.
“Just a tad!” Ianto smiled at her. “She obviously takes after her mam in looks but she has Jack's eyes.”
“Where is she dada?” Asked Eloise.
“She's been staying with Chloe, until we got to know her better but she really wants to meet you two scamps.” Jack told her. “And live with us.”
“Don't worry, no one will be losing their bedroom.” Ianto added hastily, knowing what was going through Claire's mind. “She's going to sleep on the sofa for now, if it works out then we'll have to look into moving out building an extension.”
“And you'd have to do that anyway, with the baby coming.” Claire replied.
“That's another thing, for now she doesn't know about the baby or that I can't ... well you know.” Jack told her, one thing the kids didn't know about him was that he couldn't die.
“All she knows is obviously Jack is from the future, so we need to keep the baby a secret kids.”
“Okay dada.” Eloise told them.
“Caden?” Jack prompted.
“Okay daddy.” Caden sighed. “Don't like keeping secrets.”
“Yeah, I know, but you understand why?”
“So that bad people don't know you are special and do bad things to us. It's okay daddy, I won't say anything.”
“Good boy bub.” Ianto told him with a grin.
“So, again, how do you feel about having a big sister?”
“Wonderful.” Eloise replied, bouncing on her seat.
“Rather have a big brother.” Caden pouted.
“Well, sorry, it's a sister!” Jack told him grinning.
“Fine!”
“Okay kids, how about you go and play in your room for a while we talk to Claire.”
“Can't we watch the rest of our DVD?” Eloise asked.
“In a little while sweetheart.” Ianto assured her.
“Okay, come on Caden.” They watched as the kids ran from the room and bounded up the stairs, no doubt to discuss their new big sister.
“Something you're not telling them?” Claire asked as soon as the kids were out of earshot.
“She's definitely my daughter, Chloe did the DNA tests but there's something niggling at the back of my mind, she just seems to perfect.” Jack replied.
“She came here almost a week ago, we've been delaying the meeting of her and the twins but she really wants to meet them.” Ianto added.
“And you don't quite trust her?”
“No, I feel bad about it but ...” Jack trailed off.
“Understand completely Jack, I'll keep a close eye on her for you while she's here.”
“Thanks Claire, I know it doesn't really come under your job description.”
“It does if it means looking out for the twins.” She told Jack firmly.
“Thanks.” Jack told her smiling.
“I'll get the kids in the bath, they can finish their DVD when their ready for bed.” Claire suggested.
“Good idea, we can watch it with them before they go to bed.” Ianto told her, wanting some alone time with Jack.
“We'll be about an hour.” Claire replied as she got to her feet and left the room.
“That went well.” Jack told Ianto. “I was worried the kids would freak out or something.”
“Not our kids.” Ianto chuckled. “They take everything in their stride.”
“We should have let them feel the baby bump.”
“It's too small, they won't really feel it.”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“It'll be big enough before you know it, then they'll be wanting to feel it kick every five minutes.”
“They'll have to fight their dada off first.” Jack grinned.
“Yep.” Ianto replied before kissing Jack softly on the lips. “I think we are both very tired and should have an early night tonight.”
Jack cocked an eyebrow. “You propositioning me beautiful?”
“Oh yeah Gorgeous.” Ianto grinned.
