One Week In Cardiff

A/N Febuary 1st, 6 days before Civil Partnership. This series will end just after the CP, sequel to follow as mentioned in A/N of chapter 60. Apparently LJ is playing silly buggers tonight ... These chapters seem to be getting longer and longer ...

When they arrived at the Plass the next morning the Doctor was waiting for them but they hadn't seen him yet, just standing in the middle of the Plass watching the world go by. As soon as he saw Jack and Ianto walking towards the tourist office entrance he started to make his way over to them.

The Doctor was just about to call out to them, to let them know he was there before they vanished inside when he watched Ianto press Jack up against the door and then kiss, he stopped walking. When he had first met Jack, what seemed like an eternity ago but in reality a drop in the ocean he would never imagined that he would settle down with someone.

You only had to be around them for ten minutes to realise they were totally smitten with each other, love seemed such an understatement for what they seemed to share. He was bought out from his thoughts when he realised that they had stopped kissing again and were entering the tourist office. He started to run, calling out their names.

He reached the tourist office to find the door unlocked and Jack and Ianto in each others arms again. He waited for a few moments before giving a little cough, they kept kissing. He coughed a little louder and they broke apart, grinning at him. Ianto went a little pink but he seemed less flustered about it than he would have been when the Doctor had last seen them.

'Don't you two ever stop?' The Doctor asked, smiling.

'Not if we can help it.' Jack laughed.

'Where's Donna?' Ianto said, wondering why the Doctor was alone.

'Shopping. She said as she didn't know the next time she'd get a chance to go shopping again she was going to make the most of being on Earth in Cardiff. She's going to phone me when she's finished.'

'Come and meet the new team members Doctor.' Jack pushed the button that let them through the secret door and they went to the hub.

When they got there they found it deserted, they had beaten them all in. Ianto went to make tea for the Doctor and coffee for himself and Jack. The Doctor and Jack were sat on the sofa in the main hub when he returned with the tray of drinks, they helped themselves from the tray and Ianto lent against the workstation opposite.

'Is there really nothing I can do to help?' The Doctor asked, looking back as forth between them.

'Everything is arranged, nothing else to do now except turn up on the day.'

'It's a Civil Partnership ceremony?'

'Yep.' Ianto replied.

'Wedding are still not available for same sex couples in this century, but to us the CP is a wedding, we're writing our own vows and having a reception and everything.'

'So you should.' The Doctor beamed at them. 'Honeymoon?'

'I booked us into the honeymoon suite at the hotel for two nights, but no honeymoon as such.' Ianto explained.

Jack looked at Ianto with a mixture of amazement and happiness. 'You never told me!'

'Didn't I? I was sure I mentioned it.'

'No, but I love it and you.'

'I know.'

'I could take you somewhere.' The Doctor told them. 'My wedding present to you?'

Ianto's eyes shined bright with hope and excitement at those words, maybe he'd get to see some of the places in Jack's stories. He never imagined that he would ever leave earth and travel to other planets in his lifetime.

'I was going to ask you something along those lines.' Jack laughed as hugged the Doctor close.

'Then we will do it, just let me know when, I still have Martha's mobile phone.'

'We will, thank you Sir.' Ianto told him.

'Less of the Sir, just call me Doctor.'

'Yes Sir, I mean Doctor.

The sound of the cog door opening alerted them that someone had made it to work at last, it was a rather hungover looking Gwen. She perked up when she realised the Doctor was there, walking straight over to him.

'Doctor, good to see you again.' She kissed him on the cheek. 'Where's Donna?'

'Shopping!'

'Good for her.' Gwen replied. 'Oh my head.'

'Little too much to drink?' Ianto asked sarcastically.

'Well, we didn't abandon the pub after one drink.' She retorted, noting the love bites on Ianto's neck and what must have been a very fresh one on Jack's as it hadn't yet faded.

'And will Damien and Chloe be in much the same state this morning?' Jack asked, raising an eyebrow.

'I should imagine so.' Gwen replied and went off muttering about needed more painkillers towards the medical bay.

Damien and Chloe arrived much the same time. Jack introduced them to the Doctor, it was a lot for them to take in, him being a Time Lord and the like, even though they knew about him, no way they could work with Jack and not know about him.

Neither of them were complaining about their heads, but you only had to look at them to know they had been in the same state as Gwen the night before. Jack didn't say a word, it wasn't like his team went out and got pissed all the time, they needed to let the pressure off sometimes.

Ianto offered to make them all coffee and they all readily agreed, when he'd left the main hub for the kitchenette the Doctor turned to Jack and spoke quietly.

'Is Ianto okay? He seems a little, well like he's been ill, I can't quite put my finger on it?'

'He nearly died, got infected with the toxin of the Gunawarks.'

'How the hell?'

'Came through the rift, we stopped them but not before they had killed people and Ianto got infected.'

'But that's almost always fatal and that's in the future where there's an antidote, what did you do Jack?'

Jack wasn't sure he liked the Doctor's tone.

'What I had to, I wasn't ready to lose him.'

Jack could feel tears welling up in his eyes, he forced them back but not before the Doctor caught sight of his glistening eyes.

'I'm sorry Jack.' The Doctor softened his tone.

'Someone I knew, from the Time Agency was here, on earth. He got it for me. I would have done anything to save him.'

'It's okay Jack, they shouldn't have been here, they were more of a threat to time lines than you saving Ianto.'

'I didn't give a fuck about time lines.' Jack voice was quiet but his anger with the Doctor was evident in it.

'Jack, I'm not angry with you.'

'I know, it's just ...'

Jack was surprised when the Doctor kissed him on the forehead with a resounding smacking of the lips.

Jack laughed, he couldn't stay annoyed with the Doctor for long.

'Umm, Jack, what happened to your office wall?'

'I threw something at it.'

'Fair enough.' The Doctor sensed it was something not to question more.

The Doctor spent most of the day down in the Archives with Ianto, looking through the alien artifacts they had that they had no idea what they were or what they did. Turned out a couple of them were musical instruments but were not things that a human would be able to play, some where just bits of spaceships that had fallen through the rift after breaking up for whatever reason. A couple he confiscated, saying Jack should never be able to get his hands on, but not telling Ianto why and there were more still that even he had never seen.

As he watched the young man he knew what Jack saw in him, he was cute, even the Doctor could appreciate that and he had a wicked sense of humour. Ianto Jones was obviously very good for Jack and who was he to argue with that, anyone that could tame the Captain deserved a medal.

It was early evening before Donna called to say she was knacked and shopped out and was back in the TARDIS to dump her shopping, she also mentioned she was starving. The Doctor arranged to meet her on the Plass and then they would get something to eat.

Jack suggested they eat with him and Ianto and Ianto said they should all go back to the flat and he would cook.After a few minutes debate as to whether Ianto really wanted to do that, they headed out of the hub via the invisible lift, huddled closely together on it.

The rest of the team offered to finish up in the hub and make sure the alien inhabitants were fed and then put it on automatic for the night. When the lift reached the top Donna was stood very close by, but not close enough to see them appear.

They stepped off and into view, just as she turned to look that way again.

'Change of plans, Ianto is going to cook.' The Doctor told her.

'He's a good cook.' Jack smiled.

'What's on the menu then?' Donna enquired.

'How does steak and all the trimmings followed by apple crumble and custard sound?'

'Bloody gorgeous after all that alien stuff of late.' She exclaimed, making them laugh.

Climbing to Ianto's car they headed for the flat. While Ianto cooked dinner, with promises from Jack that he would clean up afterwards Jack and the Doctor kept Donna amused with tales of when they were together, leaving out the bad stuff, neither of them wanted to bring up the year that never was.

When Donna took the first bite of her steak she looked at Jack as asked jokingly if she could marry Ianto instead. Laughing Ianto thought how wonderful the day had been, he was feeling back to normal in all respects, as far as he could tell and the Doctor and Donna turned out to be good company. He hoped that for a little while at least, life was going to be less dramatic.

They sat around till late in the evening, chatting and drinking wine, Donna wanting to know all the details of their forthcoming wedding, as they insisted it was, were they planning on kids, adopting or fostering and everything else she could think of. Jack was wondering if she ever ran out of steam, he wondered how the Doctor coped with her constant chatter, being almost as bad himself.

Jack escaped to the kitchen with the excuse that he needed to tidy it up, as he'd promised Ianto and Ianto followed a few minutes later after offering to make them tea and coffee. Ianto found Jack filling the dishwasher, he turned both the coffee maker and the kettle on and went to help Jack, handing him items to put in the dishwasher.

One the dishwasher was filled Jack closed the door and turned it on, as he felt Ianto's arms encircle his waist and kiss him on the back of the neck. He moaned softly and turned to face his over, kissing him softly on the lips.

'How long before we can kick them out?' Ianto whispered.

'Well, it is nearly midnight and we do have to work tomorrow.' Jack whispered back, cocking an eyebrow.

'So we give them tea and coffee and send them on their way?'

'I think it's a good plan.'

'Yep, me too.'

'Think they'll miss us for a few minutes more?'

'Why?'

'I need to be kissing you.'

'Oh I think I like that idea.'

Jack pressed his lips against Ianto's intending to keep the kiss soft and tender, but Ianto had other ideas. Jack felt Ianto's lips open and his tongue teased his lips till he sighed, opening his own lips to allow it access. Without even thinking about it their arms tightened around each other as the kiss got more and more passionate, blocking out all thoughts of the Doctor and Donna in the other room.

'Think they've got lost?' Donna asked the Doctor smiling.

'How can they get lost in their own kitchen?' A frown crossed his face.

'I was joking Martian Man.'

'Oh.'

The Doctor got to his feet and before Donna could stop him he was striding off to where he thought the kitchen was. Donna got up and followed him, finding him standing in the doorway of the kitchen with a soppy look on his face. She moved closer and saw what he was seeing, Jack and Ianto snogging their hearts out in the middle of the kitchen.

After watching with a huge smile on her face and thinking about how hot they were for a good few minutes she regained her senses and dragged the Doctor away, not without glancing back again briefly before dragging the Doctor back to the living room. Blimey she thought, that wonderful sight was going to stay in her head for a long while.

When they finally reemerged carrying mugs of coffee and tea they both looked the picture of innocence, both the Doctor and Donna saying nothing to them about what they had witnessed. Neither Jack nor Ianto noticed the little looks Donna kept giving them as she smiled to herself.

Once the drinks were drunk The Doctor and Donna made their way back to the TARDIS, leaving Jack and Ianto to themselves once more as Donna's head swirled planted delicious thoughts in her mind as to what they were getting up to. As soon as the got back to the TARDIS she excused herself and went straight to the privacy of her bedroom.

Jack and Ianto closed the door to their flat after waving them off and Jack pressed Ianto up against the door, kissing him softly.

'Bedtime Mr Jones.'

'Yes Sir.' Ianto grinned.

Okay...I'm a little suspicious that Chloe and Damian didn't have a hangover like Gwen....what gives? I have an idea, probably wrong...but I'm gonna wait and see with it...

I bet shopping with Donna would be fun!! (and I hate to shop normally!).

The Doctor offering to take Jack and Ianto anywhere for a honeymoon! YAY! Perfect gift.

I also love how the Doctor took some of the alien artifacts to keep them away from Jack!

Dinner was lovely...
