A/N Sorry this is so late, had a crap day moving my son and his fiancee to their new flat, they weren't up when we arrived and they hadn't packed bugger all and they live like ... well, you don't want to know ... I've been fighting a migrane all day as well which really didn't help. I've eaten one ham roll and a slice of pizza, am starving but i can't be arsed to make anything to eat! Anyway, enough whinging, on with the fic!

Teyla couldn't get back to sleep, her thoughts were running wild. When she had first arrived she hadn't intended for Torchwood or her father to find her so soon and it ruined her initial plans, but now she had been welcomed into the family it seemed things were about to go the way she intended again.

Learning a few things about her father that John Hart had neglected to tell her had also changed some of what he had considered doing but now she knew there was something wrong with the pregnancy and Jack and Ianto were fighting as they both tried to come to terms with what was going on meant she had found another way.

Listening to the twins sleep in the room with her she felt a small pang of guilt over what she was going to do but just the thoughts of why she was doing it were enough to put the feeling out of her mind. Finally she slipped back into sleep with a smile on her face at the thought she was going to do what she came to this backwards century for in the first place.

The next morning Ianto was awake, curled around Jack wondering how to tell him he had confided in Claire about the problem with the pregnancy and if he was going to get upset with him. They had agreed to go into the hub as well so that Chloe could do another scan to check on both the baby and the growth and even though he had agreed with Claire they should tell Damien and Gwen what was going on he had a feeling Jack wasn't going to agree.

“Hey.” Jack murmured as he began to wake.

“You sleep okay?” Ianto asked, as he had slept badly after their argument and his chat with Claire.

“Yeah, mostly. I'm sorry.”

“Me too, we shouldn't be fighting.”

“My emotions are all over the place, I know, but it's no excuse.”

“You're scared, of losing the baby, I can understand that as I am too.”

“It's a week now and Chloe still hasn't found a way of solving the problem.” Jack replied sadly. “I think I've just resigned myself to the fact this baby isn't meant to be.”

“Jack I ...” Ianto hesitated for a moment. “I talked to Claire last night and ...”

“You what?” Jack replied, sitting up abruptly. “You told her? Without asking me first?”

“She's our friend Jack, she'd already sensed something was wrong, you know we can trust her not to say anything to the twins or Teyla.”

“No one is to know, that's what we decided.”

“I know, but I was upset and she was there, ready to listen.”

“Offer you some comfort did she?” Jack sneered. “Give you something I haven't for the last week?”

“Jack!” Ianto exclaimed, shocked that Jack would ever think like that.

“Not even a little kiss?”

“I'm not talking to you when you're in this mood, I'm going to shower, we're meeting Chloe at the hub in an hour.”

“Is there  any point?”

Ianto glared at him, got out of bed and dragged his dressing gown and headed for the bathroom almost bumping straight into Teyla as he left the room. Stepping under the spray of the shower he knew it was Jack's hormones talking, that he shouldn't have reacted but he didn't like being accused of cheating no matter what was going on.

He hadn't even thought about the fact they hadn't had sex in a week, he was too worried about Jack's state of mind to even think about it but it was obviously bothering Jack. As he climbed out the shower he decided to go back to Jack and apologise for confiding in Claire and show him how much he loved him, even if it was just a kiss.

Ianto was just reaching for a towel when the bathroom door flew open, in his haste he had forgotten to lock it, turning round without thinking he came face to face with Teyla. She made no attempt to appear shocked or sorry for bursting in on him, she actually looked pointedly at his groin and smirked.

“Oh I can so see what my dad sees in you.” She told him, winked and left Ianto feeling startled as she exited the room.

Ianto grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist, leaving the bathroom he headed straight to his bedroom and was a little shocked to see the bed empty and no sign of Jack. Dressing quickly he headed downstairs, there was no sign of Jack but he found Claire in the kitchen.

“Do you know where Jack is?”

“He left, said he had somewhere to be.” Claire frowned.

“He didn't say where?”

“No, I assumed you knew.”

“Dammit, hopefully he's gone to the hub.”

“You want some coffee?” Claire offered picking up a mug.

Ianto sat at the kitchen table. “Thanks, maybe some time alone will help him calm down.”

“You had another fight?”

“Yep, he was angry I told you last night, about the baby.”

“I'm sorry, it's my fault, I pushed you to tell me.”

“No, don't blame yourself Claire, if I hadn't wanted to tell you I wouldn't have. No one to blame but me.” Ianto replied sadly.

“Jack's having a scan today, right?”

“Yep, if he turns up for it, he's still being negative about it. I shouldn't have fought with him, I know it's the hormones making him say ... nevermind, I should go and find him.” Ianto replied, draining his coffee mug.

“I take it you didn't mention telling the others?”

“Didn't get a chance and I don't think I will mention it until he accepts you knowing.”

Claire nodded. “Okay, go find him.” She said, taking the empty mug from his hand. “I should go get the twins up.”

“Give them a kiss from me, and Jack.” Ianto said as he rose from the chair and headed out the kitchen.

“Didn't recognise you dressed.” Teyla grinned as he met her in the hallway.

“Sorry, I'll remember to lock the door in future.” Ianto replied, reaching for his coat.

“Oh don't mind me, I didn't mind one bit.”

Ianto gave her as strange look as he shrugged on his coat. “Fine.”

“I heard you two arguing this morning, everything okay?”

“Nothing to worry about.” Ianto replied trying to sound more sure of it than he felt.

“Well, you know where to find me if you want to talk, or anything.” She gave him another wink as she moved to pass him, Ianto felt her hand stroke over the curve of his arse and span round but she was already gone from the hall.

Ten minutes later Ianto was still sat in his car on the drive wondering what the hell was going on, he could have sworn Teyla was flirting with him and he wasn't quite sure how to handle it. With the state of mind Jack was in he was either going to flip at Teyla or accuse him of leading her on, no he was going to have to try and handle this himself.

Ianto started the car and reversed down the drive, that would have to wait until later, for now he needed to see if Jack was at the hub and if not track him down and try and make peace with him before Chloe did the scan. If he could get Jack to go though with it.
