The little girl sat on her bed as she watched her dada rushing around her room, packing some of her clothes into her little suitcase along with her favourite toys as she cuddled her teddy. She had no idea what was happening, it wasn't long after she had gone to bed and she had still been awake when dada had come back to her room.

'Dada, whats happening?' Her voice conveying that she was a little scared.

Ianto stopped what he was doing at looked at his daughter, seeing her eyes threatening to spill tears down her soft cheeks he went and sat next to her on the bed, pulling her onto his lap.

'It's daddy.'

'Daddy? Is daddy sick?' Her eyes widened with childish fear.

'No honey, daddy's had to go and see Auntie Martha, you're going to have a little brother or sister soon.' Ianto kissed the top of her head.

'Why are you putting my things in that bag, do I have to go away now you have a new baby?' A tear escaped and ran down her cheek.

Ianto sighed, some fairy tales had a lot to answer for her told himself.

'No sweetie, I have to go and be with daddy and you can't stay here on your own, I'm taking you to Auntie Gwen's for a little while.'

She brightened at that thought, it meant she could play with her friend. Going to Auntie Gwen's seemed like a good idea to her.

'Okay dada.'

Ianto hugged her close for a moment then went back to packing her things, after a final check of the flat he put her coat on over her pyjamas, slippers on feet and carried her and her case to the car. They arrived at Gwen and Rhys' house soon after, Gwen was at the door waiting for them. Gwen scooped the little girl into her arms.

'Hello sweetheart, are you excited about being a big sister?'

She smiled and nodded shyly.

'Are you okay with this Gwen?' Ianto asked, wanting to just rush to Jack's side.

'Yes, now go, you don't want to miss your baby coming into the world now, do you?'

'Okay, thanks Gwen.'

Ianto kissed her cheek and then his daughters and ran back to the car, his daughter watched him as he screeched off down the road. Gwen closed the door and went to get her settled in bed with her own little daughter, she had a feeling neither little girl would sleep much tonight.

Ianto parked the car a little haphazardly and leapt out, barely remembering to lock the doors before running at full pelt towards the tourist office entrance to the hub. Hitting the button that let him through the secret door he was through it before it had finished opening completely.

He waited in frustration for the cog door to open enough for him to slip thought and ran down to the archives, where they had kitted a room out as a makeshift operating theatre come delivery room. When he finally reached his destination he stopped dead, Jack was lying flat on his back hooked up to monitors and Martha, wearing white coat and surgical gloves was standing at his side.

'I thought I'd be too late.' Ianto gasped.

'You thought we wouldn't wait for you?' Martha smiled.

'Ianto.' Jack shouted. 'Get your arse over here now.'

Ianto went to his lovers side and took his hand in his and kissed him softly on the mouth.

'You okay?'

'I will be once this baby is out of me, Martha.' Jack screamed in pain as a contraction hit him.

'You need to calm down Jack, your blood pressure is a little high. The epidural should take complete effect any moment now and I can perform the c-section.'

'You wait till you go through this.' Jack growled. 'Then we'll see who's calmer.'

Martha pressed Jack's bulging stomach. 'Can you feel that?'

'Can't feel a thing.'

'Okay, here we go.' Martha told him, she was still amazed even now that there was no sign of the previous procedure the first time round.

Ianto held Jack's hand tight as they watched Martha work in total silence, then there was a shrill cry as Martha lifted the baby from Jack's body. Ianto cut the cord and Martha weighed the baby and wrapped it in a blanket.

'Meet your son.' She smiled handing the bundle to Ianto.

'Hey what about me.' Jack griped.

'Keep your hair on.' Martha grinned.

Martha set about stitching Jack up, just enough to hold his wound together as the layers she had cut through healed themselves, using dissolvable stitches so she didn't have to worry about removing them.

Finally over half an hour later Martha had finished and Jack used his arms to pull himself up into a semi sitting position, desperate to hold his new son in his arms. His lower body had starting to get feeling in it and he cried out in pain.

Martha gave him a painkilling injection and he sighed with relief as he felt it start to take effect, he knew by the morning his body would be well on it's way to being fully healed.  Jack held his arms out and Ianto placed their newborn son into them.

'There you go daddy.' Ianto smiled.

'Thanks Dada.' Jack replied a little distractedly as he marveled at their son.

Martha took that as her cue to give them some privacy, she handed Ianto a chair so he could sit beside the bed and then quietly left the room.

'He's beautiful just like his dada.' Jack said, turning to look at Ianto.

'As gorgeous as his daddy.' Ianto replied.

They looked at each other like love sick school kids for a few moments, then Ianto lent over and kissed Jack firmly on the lips with a tender, loving kiss, not parting till the baby let out a noise of what sounded like boredom.

They parted, both laughing, knowing they were both thinking the same thing. Jack let out a yawn and Ianto could see Jack was having trouble keeping his eyes open. He reached out for his son, taking him gently from his dada's arms and kissed Jack again, this time just a chaste kiss on the lips.

'Rest. Tomorrow we can take him home.' Ianto whispered, but Jack didn't hear him, he was already asleep.

Ianto sat in the chair next to the bed holding this son, tears of happiness in his eyes. Martha came back and peeped thought the door before walking over to Ianto.

'Let me take him, give him his first bath and he'll be crying for a feed soon.' She smiled. 'You get some rest too.'

Ianto watched Martha leave the room with his son and moved over to the camp bed they had put in the room, just in case it had been a night time delivery. He climbed on fully dressed and pulled a blanket over himself.

With one last look at Jack's sleeping form he allowed himself to drift off to sleep.

Ianto was awoken the next morning by the cry of a baby, at first he was a little confused but as he came to properly he smiled, he had a new baby son. Jack was sat in the chair beside the bed feeding his son with a bottle of milk, a huge beaming smile on his face.

Ianto got up quickly and went to his side and kissed the top of his head.

'How are you?'

'Nearly fully healed, Martha says we can go home as soon as I've fed this little one.'

After thanking Martha and collecting their things together Ianto took Jack and the baby home and then went to fetch their daughter from from Gwen's house. As soon as Gwen answered the door the little girl bounded into his arms.

'Dada, dada,' She shouted happily. 'Can we go home now? Am I a big sister?'

'Have you been good for Auntie Gwen?'

'I'm always a good girl.' She pouted, doing a perfect impression of her daddy.

'Then yes, to both questions. You have a baby brother.'

'Congratulations.' Gwen told him, hugging him tight and kissing him softly on the lips.

'Don't kiss my dada.' The little girl glared, wondering why they laughed at her.

'Come on honey, lets go home so you can meet your brother.'

They said their goodbyes to Gwen and headed home. When they entered the flat Ianto told her she needed to be quiet in case the baby was sleeping. He closed the door quietly looked into the living room, no sign of Jack or the baby.

He found them in the bedroom, the baby in his cot and Jack resting on the bed, lying on his side watching his son sleep through the bars of the cot. Ianto picked his daughter up and held her so she could see her little brother more easily.

'What do you think?' Ianto asked her.

'He's okay.' She said. 'Can I go and play now?'

Jack laughed as Ianto told her she could. She went off to her bedroom, she had been told she's have someone to play with but she wasn't sure how, he was so small. Picking up her doll she started brushing her hair, lost in her little world.

Ianto climbed onto the bed behind Jack and spooned against him, wrapping his arms about him as he held him tight and kissed the back of his neck.

'You make beautiful babies Jack.'

'We make beautiful babies.' Jack corrected him.

Jack turned over in Ianto's arms to face him, grimacing as a small twinge of pain went through his stomach, but he knew all the pain would be gone in a few hours.

'There was never any doubt, what with me being gorgeous and dashing and you being beautiful.' He continued.

'And they lived happily ever after.' Ianto smiled.

They pressed their bodies together as closely as possible and lost themselves in a tender, loving kiss. 

The End.
