One Week In Cardiff


When they got to the hub the next morning no one could mistake the good mood they were both in, Ianto even placed a chaste kiss on Jack's lips in front of all of them before going to make the first cup of coffee of the morning. He took the try of coffee mugs through to the main hub and handed them out.

'You two seem over the moon about something this morning?' Gwen pried.

'We are.' Ianto replied with a small grin.

'Anything we should know about?' She probed as Damien threw her murderous looks.

'Nope, not really. Nothing that will effect work.'

'Oh I just thought maybe ...' Chloe cut her off midsentence. 'Gwen, I need you to help me with something for a minute.

'Oh right, sure, just give me a minute.' She went to speak to Ianto again but he had made his escape. She walked over to Damien's workstation where Chloe was standing.

'Gwen!' Damien all but shouted at her.

'What?' She tried to look all wide eyed and innocent.

'You know exactly what Gwen.' Chloe said to her. 'Don't you dare mention that we know they are trying for a baby, it's their business.'

'But.'

'No buts Gwen, keep your gob shut.' Damien told her.

Gwen stomped off back to her workstation and sulked in her chair, attempting to finish what she had been working on. Damien and Chloe were looking at her, would she ever learn to keep her thoughts to herself? Somehow they doubted it, but maybe she would put her brain in gear before she opened her mouth in future.

Ianto had taken his and Jack's coffee up to Jack's office, he closed the door behind him and set the coffee's on Jack's desk.

'I have no idea what's going on with those three.' Ianto told Jack, nodding down towards them.

'Why, what happened?' Jack ask curious.

'Gwen wanted to know why we were so happy, if it was something we should tell them. I told her no, but Damien and Chloe seemed to be trying to get her off whatever tack she was heading along.'

'A little strange, but the mood I'm in today I don't care.' Jack smiled.

'Nope, me neither to tell the truth.'

Jack stood up from his chair and walked round to the other side of his desk, pulling Ianto into his arms and kissing him softly.

'I wish we had never had our fight, but it was good in the end. I've wanted to tell you how I really felt for so long.' Jack told him.

Ianto smiled. 'I never had any doubt, as soon as you came back to the flat, I knew you loved me completely.'

Ianto kissed Jack, a long, tender, loving kiss full of emotion that lasted for a long time.

*

Gwen glanced around and when she was sure no one was watching she pulled up the CCTV feed to Jack's office. She watched as Jack took Ianto into his arms and kissed him, then after a brief exchange of words Ianto kissing Jack. In that moment she knew for sure that they were in love totally and completely.A feeling of disappointment slipped into her head, even now she harboured the thought that maybe one day she would have Jack.

Yes, she loved Rhys, but she still had a lingering, unsatisfied lust for Jack that she had buried within. She knew now that nothing would ever happen for her and she was filled with mixed feelings, sadness for herself and happiness, yes she was happy for them. She turned off the feed guiltily and went back to her work, brushing away the sadness from her mind.

*

Jack and Ianto finally came out of their kiss and were chatting about their forth coming wedding, everyone had confirmed they would be coming. Ianto admitted to be a little nervous about  being in the centre of attention for the day, but Jack assured him he would be so wrapped up in the day he wouldn't care.

'We can go and collect the rings today.' Ianto reminded Jack.

'Yeah, lets go now.' Jack said standing back up and taking Ianto's hand.

'Yep.'

They left Jack's office and wrapped themselves in their coats, told the others they wouldn't be long and left the hub via the invisible lift. They walked quickly to the jewellers and collected the rings, each examining the engraving on the ring destined for the other and smiling to themselves, then slipping them back into the boxes.

The assistant was the same woman who had sold them the rings, she offered them her congratulations and said she hoped they had a wonderful day. They thanked her and walked out the shop hand in hand, the assistant smiling at them as they left. By the time they had got back to the hub, they were finding it hard to contain their happiness.

On the way back down into the hub via the invisible lift they made a decision. Ianto made coffee and Jack called the other three to where the sofa was in the main hub. Ianto handed out the coffee as he and Jack grinned like loonies.

'We want to show you all something.' Jack told them as he had Ianto pulled the small boxes from their pockets.

Gwen and Chloe squealed like school girls as Damien rolled his eyes, something he had picked up in the few months he had worked at Torchwood.

'Our wedding rings.' Ianto said stating the obvious. 'They are engraved, please keep what you read to yourself, we don't want to know what is engraved on our own rings till the day.' Ianto tried not to direct it at Gwen.

Gwen grabbed the one Jack was holding and Chloe grabbed the one out of Ianto's hand. They both took them from the boxes and cooed over what they looked like then tilted them so they could read the inscriptions inside. Both made 'Ooooh.' sounds and then swapped rings to see what the other had read as the three men looked on amused. Finally they handed the rings back to the right person.

'Okay, enough!' Ianto could only put up with so much attention. 'How are the kitties?' He hadn't been to check on them himself in a couple of days.

'They're fine, growing by the day. Seems cruel to keep them locked in that cell though, even if they do get to have a little playtime in the passageway now and then.' Chloe told them.

'Can't be helped.' Jack replied. 'We can't take them out of here and they can't run around freely for obvious reasons.'

'I 'spose so.' Chloe shrugged.

'Right.' Jack stated. 'Lunch time, my stomach is rumbling.'

As he said it his stomach let out an almighty rumble causing them all to laugh. Gwen and Chloe offered to go on the lunch run, promising to bring back jam doughnuts as well as sandwiches. They wrapped up against the January weather and headed out through the tourist office. Jack asked Damien about the rift monitor, which it seemed was still being strangely quiet.

Jack was starting to worry that it was building towards something major and it would happen just in time to muck up the wedding plans. He was keeping the thoughts to himself though, if they weren't crossing Ianto's mind he certainly wasn't going to plant the seeds. He tossed the thoughts out of his mind for now as the girls arrived back with food.

Ianto's thoughts had been on the evening ahead of them, meeting up with Ben and his girlfriend for dinner. He was hoping Jack would behave and promising himself he wasn't going to drink as much as the last time he and Ben had got together. Nope, it was going to be a great evening, he would make sure it was.

Lovely chapter, as always =) I squee'd when I saw it (and got a funny look for it, I might add!)!

I looooove this fic ^^ really, really.

I don't, however, love the foreboding! Foreboding makes missthing a very, very mean lady!!! MEAN!

Love it though.

Really, I do.

Love it!

I suppose you're going to make us wait to see what the rings say too huh?

And the Rift better not fudge up the wedding, because if it does I might have to lay a little smack down on it.

*worries that the Hell part of Heaven and Hell is coming back all too soon*

Slight confusion...I thought the dinner with Ben was on the Friday and the rings would be ready on the Saturday....
