Ianto fumbled for the door keys in his pocket, not at all surprised when he felt his lovers body make contact with his own and push him against the front door and his lips on the back of his neck, kissing his just above the collar of his shirt.


 

Perhaps we should have taken Rose up on the offer,” Jack murmured into the younger man's ear.


 

No need,” Ianto murmured, pressing back against Jack's body and feeling his erection against his buttocks. “now Alice sleeps all night nothing wakes her, we don't need a fancy hotel.”


 

Who said anything about fancy,” Jack chuckled softly against his ear and then nibbled on the lobe.


 

If you let me find the keys we can thank Rose, send her off home and go to bed,” Ianto laughed softly, turning his head slightly awkwardly so Jack could kiss him on the lips.


 

Find the damn keys then, before I take you here,”Jack told him huskily, reluctantly pulling away from his lovers body.


 

Ianto patted at his pockets quickly and located the keys, it took him a moment or two in his tipsy state to get the key into the keyhole and then finally opened the door, both of them hurrying into the house.


 

Rose,” Jack called out, seeing her as they entered the living room. “my lovely Rose, thank you for looking after Alice for us, has she been good?”


 

As good as gold,” Rose smiled. “I've not heard a peep out of her for hours.”


 

I'll just pop up and check on her,” Ianto told them, almost tripping over his own feet as he ascended the stairs and then headed into her room.


 

It took him a few moments to registrar that the infant wasn't in her cot, flinging the blanket to one side even though it was obvious that the baby's bed was empty and then ran from the room.


 

Rose? Where the hell is Alice? Where's our baby?” Ianto yelled, running down the stairs two at a time, the effects of the alcohol seeming to vanish in his panic.


 

She's in her cot,” Rose frowned, looking at Jack confused.


 

No, she's not, she's not there,” Ianto babbled. “she's missing, where is she Rose?”


 

She must be there,” Rose answered, really confused and ran from the room towards the stairs with the two men hot on her heels and into the nursery.


 

No, this is ridiculous,” Rose exclaimed, seeing the empty cot for herself. “I put her there myself after her feed, she's a baby ...”


 

Exactly,” Jack said, looking around the room frantically. “she's been kidnapped, didn't you hear anything?”


 

No ...” Rose replied pausing for a moment before continuing. “but there was this woman, she ...”


 

What woman?” Jack demanded, grabbing her arm a little roughly.


 

She came to the door, she told me that she had lent Ianto a book and had arranged to collect it this evening,” Rose explained worriedly. “she phoned you to check it was okay to collect it Ianto.”


 

No-one phoned me,” Ianto told her coldly.


 

What did this woman look like?” Jack asked her, resisting the urge to let rip at the young woman.


 

Slim, long brown hair … oh and she had a gap between her teeth,” Rose answered.


 

Gwen fucking Cooper!” Ianto spat while Jack released Rose's arm and ran from the room, pulling out his mobile and dialling and heading into their own room, not expecting to find either the woman or the baby there but needing to check.


 

Detective Swanson please,” Jack barked into the phone. “No, I don't give a damn if she's not on duty, I need to speak to her, tell her it's Jack Harkness and that woman, Gwen Cooper has kidnapped my baby!”


 

No, someone else won't suffice, I need her to get here,” Jack demanded down the phone. “this is all her fault, she wouldn't believe me when I told her that woman was out to get me, so she gets to take the brunt of her mistake and find my child.”


 

How the hell am I supposed to know if she's in danger? The woman is obviously deranged though so I'd hazard a guess that she could be,” Jack shouted into the phone. “I just want her found and back home.”


 

No, I won't calm down, just make sure that Detective Swanson is here before I come down there and take out my anger on you,” Jack shouted even louder. “and no, that's not a threat, it's a promise.”


 

With that Jack snapped the phone shut, Ianto was at his side in an instant, wrapping his arms around his lover and they held onto each other tight while Rose stood nervously in the door way.


 

I'm so sorry, she must have called someone else,” Rose said quietly. “she was very convincing.”


 

Just leave Rose,” Ianto told her with quiet restraint.


 

I want to help, this is all my fault,” Rose answered, tears falling rapidly down her face.


 

I think ...” Ianto began, stopping at the sound of the police sirens sounding outside, getting closer and closer to their house. “actually, you can tell Detective Swanson the details, maybe they'll actually believe us about that bloody woman if you explain.”


 

Anything,” Rose told them, rushing down ahead of them to answer the loud knock on the door and opening to find a woman in plain clothes and at least half a dozen police officers.


 

Detective Swanson, and you are?” The woman asked her.


 

Rose, Rose Tyler,” Rose answered. “I was baby sitting, I can't believe I let her in the house, I didn't mean ...”


 

The Detective put up a hand to silence her.


 

Lets get inside and we can take down the details,” she said calmly. “where are the baby's fathers?”


 

Here,” Jack told her, both of then reaching the foot of the stairs as Rose let them in.


 

Lets go into the living room, the baby's nursery is now a crime scene,” Detective Swanson explained, letting them lead the way. “two of my men will sweep it for clues and fingerprints.”


 

You need to get out and find this woman!” Jack exclaimed.


 

We have an APB out on her, we will find you child Captain Harkness, I promise you,” she replied. “and once I get the full facts we can spread the net.”


 

Fine,” Ianto said, dropping down into the sofa, Jack sitting beside him and listened while Rose explained every detail she could remember of what had happened that evening when Gwen Cooper had turned up on the doorstep.

Oh Rose, never ever trust a stranger! At least with Rose as a witness the police realize the truth about Gwen. But too little too late!

Great update sweetie.

Sorry you're still feeling ill - get better soon!

Find baby Alice quick and lock Gwen up for the rest of her life. If not in prison, in a mental hospital because she is a sicko. And Rose, I'm surprised you at least didn't check on Alice for hours. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long before Alice is found safe and sound.

Nail chewing has commenced.

Gwen in this is a real sicko. At least Det Swanson is paying attention at last.
