Warnings: Character Death. This fic is completely AU ... no Torchwood.
Spoilers: Anything is fair game
Rating: NC17 for series
A/N: I have a feeling this might be a little longer than the original version, it seems to be fleshing some parts out even more than i remember!
Ianto tapped his fingertips on the edge of the desk in the study while watching Alice who lay gurgling quietly to herself in the carry cot set just a few feet away from him while he attempted to try and work on the next chapter of his book.
He had barely written more than a couple of sentences of the novel he was working on and he knew exactly why he was distracted, nothing was more important to him than Alice and all he wanted to do was be around her.
Closing the lid of his laptop Ianto got up from his seat and moved swiftly towards his daughter, loving the way her little face lit up when he came into view and her arms reached up for him.
Lifting the small infant carefully up into his arms he held her close and carried her to the large window that looked out onto the garden and the sea below that glistened temptingly in the rare Welsh sunshine.
“It's far too nice a day to be cooped up in here,” Ianto told his daughter softly. “I think we should go out for a walk, does that sound like a good idea to you?”
Alice just let out a happy gurgle.
“I'm so glad you agree,” Ianto chuckled. “come on, lets get you ready.”
With that he carried her upstairs to the nursery and changed the short-sleeved bodysuit she was wearing for a pretty dress and checked her nappy was still okay, once they were done he covered the exposed skin on her arms, legs and face with sun cream before pulling tiny little socks onto her feet and then grabbing a little mop cap for her head made he way to his own room with her in his arms.
Setting her down in the middle of the large bed Ianto changed into a pair of navy blue linen shorts and a white t-shirt quickly then climbed onto the bed on his knees, lifted the little girls dress and blew a raspberry on her belly causing baby Alice to let out a little giggle.
“Come on, lets go and get some sunshine,” Ianto told her with a smile, picking her up and then sliding off the bed.”you never know, we might be able to entice daddy to meet us for lunch by the bay.”
When they got back downstairs Ianto lay Alice in her pram, removing the blanket and folded it before placing it in the small wire basket beneath just in case it turned chilly before they returned.
He grabbed his keys from the small table in the hallway, slipped them into his pocket and then opened the front door, pushing the pram out before him and after closing it firmly he began to walk down towards the bay.
Making his way through the milling crowds of holiday makers out to enjoy the sunshine while it lasted he finally found an empty wooden bench that overlooked the bay, he parked the pram beside it and left the now sleeping Alice where she was while he took his mobile from his pocket to call his lover.
“Harkness, Hart and Harper, good morning. Gwen speaking, how may I help you?” An unfamiliar but pleasant voice answered the phone.
“Good morning Gwen,” Ianto replied politely. “I'd like to speak to Captain Harkness please?”
“Is he expecting your call?” Gwen asked.
“No but he will take it, just let him know that Ianto Jones is calling,” Ianto answered.
Ianto couldn't miss the slight change in her tone as she spoke again.
“I do believe he's in a meeting just now, just give me a moment while I check,” Gwen told him and then Ianto found himself listening to the classical tones of the company hold music before he could say another word but less than a minute she was back again. “I'm sorry, he's with a client at the moment and I wouldn't like to disturb him unless it's important.”
“Then would you please just give him a message when he's free?” Ianto asked.
“Of course Sir,” Gwen replied.
“Just let him know that Alice and I are down by the bay and we'd love to have him meet us for lunch if he's free,” Ianto informed her. “he has my mobile number obviously, if he could give me a call, to let me know one way or the other.”
“I'll give him the message as soon as he's free,” Gwen assured him. “goodbye.”
“Thank you, bye,” Ianto answered before cutting the call, not knowing that the instant he did so Gwen Cooper put down the pen she had been holding and pushed away the notepad that she hadn't written a single word of his message on.
With that she rose from her chair and after preparing a fresh mug of coffee in the small kitchenette she carried it to her bosses office where he was sat alone working on something on his computer.
“I thought you might like a coffee Sir?” She said, placing the mug down before him on the desk.
“Thank you,” Jack said, giving her a small smile before lifting it to his lips and taking a small sip. “no calls?”
“No, sorry, were you expecting someone to call?” Gwen asked, her face a picture of innocence.
“Not really, just hoping,” Jack answered, telling himself he would give Ianto a call once he was finished with the letter he was drafting to a client before him on the computer.
“Would you mind if I took an early lunch, I need to collect a prescription from the doctors surgery before they close?” Gwen asked.
“No, that's fine, go now if you wish,” Jack answered then turned his attention back to his computer.
“Thanks,” Gwen told him with a smile and left the office to grab her handbag.
