Ianto could see Gwen running across the hub after Damien and down into the medical bay, he was still holding Jack tight as he heard her voice come over the comm still in his ear over Jack's sobbing.
“Ianto, get Jack out of here, I don't want him to see Teyla like this.” Gwen told him. “Let us make her ... you know what I mean.”
“Yep.” Ianto replied.
“What is it?” Jack asked shakily, raising his head and looking up at Ianto.
“I'm taking you home, we need to get out of here.”
“No, I need to see Teyla.”
“And you will, but not yet, you're not ready for that.”
“You mean Gwen has taken it upon herself to clean her up and make her look less damaged?”
“Something like that.” Ianto admitted as he brushed tears from Jack's cheeks.
“Okay.” Jack agreed, a little more readily than Ianto expected.
“Wait here, I'll be back in a moment.” Ianto told him, steering Jack to the sofa on the other side of his office and sitting him down, pressing a kiss to his brow before running down to the main hub and into the medical bay.
“Does he blame me?” Damien asked as soon a Ianto appeared.
“Not as much as he seems to blame himself but it's going to be okay Damien, I think he now sees it was a matter of life and death, ours.” Ianto replied.
“I should stay away for a few days, maybe?”
“No, you did nothing wrong. How bad was Chloe hurt?”
“I think it was mainly cuts and grazes but she hit her head I think, she was unconscious when they paramedics took her.”
“I'll check on her.” Gwen replied. “You just need to take Jack away from here for now.”
“What are you going to do?” Ianto asked, finally letting his eyes settle on Teyla's body, the sight upsetting him more than he thought it would.
“Clean her up, change her clothes, make her look like she's sleeping.” Gwen told him. “Jack can't see her battered and bloody like this, it'll just make it worse.”
“Thank you.” Ianto replied. “Both of you. Gwen would you do something else for me? Well, two things actually”
“Sure, anything?”
“Call my mother's mobile, they're due back in the morning and I haven't had the chance to call them and tell them not to go home. Tell them they're booked into the same B&B we were in for now and that I'll explain the first chance I get, please?”
“Not a problem, and the other?”
“Call Claire, tell her they're safe and can go back to Joel's flat with the twins. You can tell them what's happened but ask them not to tell the twins.”
“Of course, just take care of Jack. Anything else I can do, just call me.”
“Thanks Gwen.” Ianto replied and then left the medical bay in the same hurried way he had arrived and went back to Jack.
“Gwen's going to check on Chloe, she'll let us know how she is and she's also going to call Claire and tell her they are all safe now.”
“Is she going to bring the twins home?”
“Later.”
“Okay, lets get out of here.”
Ianto helped Jack with his coat and after donning his own they headed out the hub and home, remembering that all Teyla's possessions were in the living room he steered Jack straight upstairs.
“Bath first.” Ianto told him, leading him into the bathroom.
Jack undressed silently as Ianto turned on the taps and added some relaxing bubble bath.
“Are you going to join me?” Jack finally asked.
“No, you need to relax and there's a couple of things I need to do.”
“I feel numb. I keep thinking I should be angry and breaking things but I don't have the energy.”
“Anything you feel will be normal, from numb to rage to guilt, you need to let yourself grieve in whatever way you feel.” Ianto told him, pressing a chaste kiss to Jack's lips and placing the palm of his hand to Jack's bare belly.
“You make me feel calm.”
“Then I will be back very soon and I'll get in the tub with you, if it'll help.”
“It will.”
Jack stepped into the bath and lay back, closing his eyes as the water soothed his body if not his mind.
“I won't be long.” Ianto told him, leaving the bathroom and going downstairs.
Ianto blitzed the living room, collecting Teyla's belongings together and putting them in the small case Chloe had lent her before hiding it in the cupboard under the stairs in the hall. Once that was done he headed back up to Jack, Jack was how he left him.
“Still want me in there with you?” Ianto asked.
“Always.”
Ianto stripped quickly, Jack parted his legs so Ianto could settle between them and sat up a little. As soon as Ianto's back rested against his chest Jack wrapped his arms tightly around him and rested his head on the back of Ianto's shoulder.
“I don't blame Damien, not now I've had time to think about it, he did it for us.” Jack said so quietly Ianto barely heard it.
“He did, he would never done it unless he felt it was necessary, he's upset too.”
“It's still going to be hard to come to terms with what's happened.” Jack replied.
“It won't happen overnight, but it'll get easier.”
“I've loved and lost so many people, even in such a sort time, before she turned on us I loved her, I'm never going to get used to losing people I love.” Jack told Ianto as he hugged him even tight, Ianto understanding exactly what he was thinking.
“You not going to lose me anytime soon Jack.” Ianto replied, feeling Jack's tears on his back.
“I plan on keeping you, the twins and the baby for as long as humanly possible.” Jack told him brokenly.
Ianto twisted in Jack's arms and kissed him tenderly. “I love you so much.” He told him.
“Can we get out of here, go to bed, I just need to hold you?” Jack asked.
“Anything you want, or need.” Ianto replied, pulling the plug and getting out the bath, wrapping a towel around himself as Jack followed and then handing him one.
“Will Claire keep the twins till the morning?” Jack asked.
“Until we call and ask her to bring them home.”
“I need to see them but for now I just need to be with you.”
“I understand.” Ianto replied, entwining their hands they walked to the bedroom, climbed into bed and curled around each, taking comfort in each other presence other until sleep finally overtook them.
