A/N Another short chapter i'm afraid, i feel awful, my cold kicked in big time last night and i barely slept, i went to bed for an hour earlier and woke up almost six hours later! On the plus side, work was better.
“Daddy.” Eloise said when they had finally settled down a little. “It was Teyla wasn't it, the reason we were in the hotel place?”
“The B&B? What makes you say that sweetheart?” Jack asked as no one had actually told the kids who or what they were hiding from.
“We could sense it, her.” Eloise replied.
“In what way?” Ianto asked.
“Her anger, she was so angry.” Caden told them.
“But you couldn't talk to her, in her head like you can with each other?” Jack asked.
“No, just what she was feeling.” Eloise replied. “Then she was in pain but it stopped and we can't sense her al all now.”
“What happened to her daddy? Dada?” Caden asked.
“It turned out she wasn't a nice person bub, she wanted to hurt us.” Ianto replied, wanting to be as honest as possible but wanting to scare them.
“Why?” Eloise asked.
“He mummy wasn't very nice when she was a kid and she blamed me.” Jack told them.
“But ... she was her mummy, she should be nice to her daughter.” Caden replied, clearly confused.
“Not all parents are nice to their children bub, they should be, but they're not.”
“That's so sad daddy.”
“Yes, it is sweetheart.”
“So where is she now daddy? Why can't we sense her?” Caden asked.
Ianto looked at the pain growing in Jack's eyes and took over the conversation.
“She had an accident and got hurt.”
“Is she dead dada?” Eloise asked, tears forming in her eyes.
“Yes sweetheart, there was an explosion and ... and no one could save her.” Ianto told them.
Huge tears rolled down Eloise's face as Caden tried to fight his back but it didn't last long before they were both sobbing in their fathers arms with both Jack and Ianto letting their own tears flow, partly for the situation but mostly for the hurt their children were feeling, they had lost a sister they had come to love no matter what she had tried to do to them all.
“Has she gone to heaven dada?” Eloise asked as her sobs began to lesson some while later, still wrapped him his arms.
“I hope so sweetheart.” Ianto replied, not wanting to upset her more by telling her that from what Jack had said there was nothing after death, she was too young and it would just scare her.
“Will she be an angel?” Caden asked.
“I don't know bub, she wasn't a nice person and I think only nice people get to be angels.” Ianto told him.
“But she can't be mean to anyone anymore?” Caden replied.
“No, she can't hurt anyone now.” Ianto told him.
“I liked Teyla.” Eloise said, her voice quiet and sad.
“We all did sweetie.” Ianto replied, watching Jack trying to keep his emotions under control for the twins sake. “We all did.”
There was a tap on the door and then Claire peered around it with mugs in her hands.
“I made you coffee. I thought you might need it.” She told them. “There's chocolate milk in the kitchen kids.”
“Thank you.” Ianto replied, Jack laying silently beside him as he held Caden in his arms.
The twins extracted themselves from their parents embraces and headed down to the kitchen for their milk.
“Kids are amazingly resilient.” Claire remarked as she put the coffees on Ianto bedside table, glancing at Jack who was lying on his back staring at the ceiling, his cheeks wet with tears. “They'll be okay.”
Ianto gave her a look of thanks as indicated towards Jack's prone figure with his eyes, Claire nodded and left the room quietly closing the door behind her.
As soon as the door was firmly closed Ianto reached over and pulled Jack into his arms, Jack instantly buried his head in Ianto's shoulder and began to sob.
Holding his tightly with one arm Ianto ran his fingers soothingly through Jack's hair and kissed him softly on the top of his head.
“Let it out Jack, let it all out.” He told him tenderly.
Even after Jack's sobs subsided they didn't move, the coffee going cold on the bedside table. Ianto knew that despite the way Teyla had acted, what she had done it was going to take quite a while for Jack to come to terms with losing the daughter he had just found.
But he would be there for him, in any way he needed him to be and he was sure once the new baby was born it would help heal the wounds.
