Author's Note:
teachwriteslash asked if she could take a foray into my world while I stepped into hers for the briefest of moments. So we both decided to swap smut scene. Thus she wrote the wedding night scene! All love goes to her for that lovely little ditty!
Note About Series: There are only two remaining stories in this sereis, this one, and Lean On Me which will kick off the first weekend of October. As of the moment I am not writing a final final story for it, though plans were made and the idea does exist it is not in the writing process.

Part One
Chapter Two
It was Wednesday when Jack realized that for the safety of his health-and whatever remaining lives he had-he should probably stop pushing his lover to the absolute limit. Ianto was busy arguing on the phone with someone about the reception hall, and Jack was vaguely aware he’d already been arguing with someone in Switzerland about their hotel. Jack was beginning to think maybe; just maybe the whole wedding/civil partnership thing was overrated.
It was about noon that afternoon when Jack snuck out of the hub, leaving the others to cover for him for a few hours while he was out. Jack made quick work of his plans as he popped up to the Tardis, which was still parked on their front step. “Rose!” he called, poking his head into the big blue box.
Seconds later, the beautiful blonde stepped into the consol room, as Jack closed the door behind him. “What’s wrong?” She questioned.
“Well my boyfriend is going crazy-and I’m being somewhat unhelpful, I need you to ask you a favor, I also need to give the Doctor two planets I want to take Ianto to.”
“Okay, what’s the favor then depending on that, I’ll get the Doctor.” Rose grinned at her old friend.
“Will you take Rosie while we’re away in Switzerland?”
Rose’s eyes grew wide. “You honestly thought you had to ask that? Jack, of course we will love. You know that. Oi, you’ve gotten daft in your ol’ age.”
Jack smiled as he stepped forward, and grabbed her into a hug. Before Rose even knew what was happening she was on the floor, with Jack straddling her hips, crying out in laughter as he tickled her. Though she appeared to be giving as good as she got in between batting his hands away.
“Uncle Jack!” squealed the familiar voice of his five year old name sake. Jack laughed out loud as he was knocked off of Rose by the little boy. “Don’t hurt mummy.”
Jack chuckled as he hugged the boy close and shook his head. “Never.” He whispered, his eyes drifting back over to her. “If it wasn’t for Ianto-the Doctor would have competition my love.” He whispered as he pushed the hair away from her face.
Rose smiled as she lay on the Tardis floor beside him for a moment, enjoying the closeness she hadn’t in a long time. “You know one day, you lot have to come flying with us, I want to spend time with Ianto and you, we’ll ditch the kids with Jake an’ Mickey-“ giggled Rose as Little Jack protested.
“Rose, I’ve missed you.”
She slipped her hand into his for a moment and smiled. “I’ve missed you too, Captain.”
“Oi! Are you two dancing again!? An’ without me, where’s the love.” Joked the Doctor as he stepped into the consol room and looked down at his two best friends. “Hello Jack,” The Doctor smiled as he lifted his son off Jack’s stomach.
“Doctor, I want Ianto to relax and enjoy our honeymoon, so I’ve been thinking two plants to go to.”
“All right, lay ‘em on me big fella!” The Doctor paused. “Okay never saying that again.”
His counterparts chuckled softly, shaking their heads as they both sat up. “I want to go to Women Wept, when everything freezes over, it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. And I want to go to Brathic in the summer, when the trees are just beginning to fill with fruit, the sea is warm.”
“And the sky is so blue that you could swim in it. Aye, it sounds like the perfect place for honeymooners like you.”

The week passed far too quickly for Ianto’s liking. It was Friday night before they knew it and the house was filled with children, parents, friends and laughter. Everyone was seated and it was nearing eight when Ianto and Jack stood at the front of the main room, holding hands and smiling.
“As you know, we decided not to do this quite by tradition, after all, not much about either of us is traditional. However, the one thing Ianto and I made perfectly clear to each other, was we wanted to tell our family how important they were in getting this all done.” Jack held his champagne glass and smiled as he looked around the room at the bulk of the guests. “Tomorrow morning, Ianto and I will officially become partners. Up until this point I don’t think either one of us really thought much about it.” Jack glanced over to Ianto who shook his head, agreeing with Jack. “However, part of the reason this is happening is because we were fortunate enough to be brought together by some wonderful people. And while I can stand here, and name you all I’ll keep it limited to the three people Ianto and I decided we wanted to thank specifically. The first is Maggie and Gareth Jones.” He turned around, grabbing a small package off the television hutch and handed it to the couple. “You two have supported Ianto and me from the very beginning, and Ianto tells me everyday that he hopes he can be as strong and loving as you are in your relationship. I can’t agree more, with parents like you, it’s hard not to want what you have. Thank you for all your support.”
Jack gave both parents a hug, as did Ianto, then he looked to his partner. “Tosh, I don’t think Jack and I would have made it through everything we’ve been through in the past six months if it wasn’t for your beautiful spirit being present everyday. You remind Jack and me that there is beauty in all things. Your brilliance and kind heart help us to better our selves. Thank you Toshiko.” Stepping forward he handed her a similar present, pressing a kiss to her cheek.
“We wanted to thank all of Ianto’s brothers and sisters, but we didn’t get you a gift-sorry look us up at Christmas,” Jack joked playfully before he looked at the Doctor. “Doctor, and Rose, you two have been-astounding and if it weren’t for the two of you, neither of us would be standing here.” Jack smiled as he handed them their presents. “Thanks to all of you, it’s been a wonderful journey up to this point, and I only see it getting better.”

Ianto stood in front of the mirror, fixing his tie, trying to quell the shaking in his hands as he undid his tie for what felt like the hundredth time that morning. He jumped at the sight of Jack’s reflection in the mirror. Jack was dressed in his pants and not much else. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” Ianto muttered as he threw his tie across the room.
“Ianto-“
“I’m nervous okay!” Ianto stared at the floor, Jack didn’t deserve to be yelled at, they were getting married in just over an hour.
“We don’t have to do this-“
“NO!” Ianto’s eyes shot up as he stared at his lover. Sighing he squeezed the bridge of his nose. Before he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Jack’s naked waist. “No, we’re doing this. I’m sorry it’s just-forever Jack.”
“I told you-“
Ianto pressed his lips to Jack’s and shook his head. “Its just a lot to think about, I’m still terrified you’re going to tell me one day that you don’t want to be with me forever. I’m sorry, I’m not angry, I’m just nervous.”
“Wanna know a secret?” Jack whispered as he drew his lover’s body closer. “So am I.”
“Really?”
“Totally.” Jack replied as he began to kiss Ianto’s jaw line. “Wanna know what calms me down.”
Ianto chucked as he hugged Jack closer. “Oh, I’ve got a pretty good idea.”
“We’ve still got an hour before we have to be there.”
“We’ll have to shower-after all can’t show up at our own partnership and smell like sex.”
“We could kill two birds with one stone,” Jack offered as he began to undo the buttons on Ianto’s shirt, causing the man to squirm. “I’m good in showers.”
Ianto let out a moan. “I know,” he laughed as Jack began to press gentle kisses to his chest and collar bone. Pulling away he grinned at Jack, and then he removed his shirt. Walking Jack backwards they made their way to the bathroom, shutting the door behind them. He pressed his mouth to Jack’s, taking the time to explore the other man’s mouth, finding all the hot spots, the area just above Jack’s top front teeth that made him go weak.
Jack’s hand shot out, twisting the hot water on. Then his hands pulled the curtain open. Ianto, on the other hand, was enjoying his exploration of Jack’s mouth as his hands wandered over Jack’s hard, toned abs, he slipped a hand under his trousers and laughed. “Expecting this?” He questioned when he discovered his lover wasn’t wearing underwear.
“The boxers left lines!” Jack replied as he slid his own hands down to Ianto’s pants.
“You had panty lines,” Ianto chuckled as he cupped Jack gently, before he slid his hand out. Jack immediately whimpered at the loss of contact. But he didn’t have time to do much else as he dropped Jack’s pants to the ground.
Jack, now stark naked, made quick work of Ianto’s pants and boxers, before they both stepped into the shower, gasping slightly under the heat of the spray. The water ran over them cascading down their slick bodies, Jack didn’t waste anytime, grinding against his lover. Their already rigid cocks twitched as they pressed against one another. Ianto gasped as he leaned his forehead against Jack’s shoulder, Ianto’s hands wandering down his back. Jack must have had the same thing in mind, because a second later they both gasped as they penetrated one another. “Oh gods,” whispered Ianto as their mouths met again in fiery passion.
It didn’t take long before they were both crying out, clinging to one another through their orgasms as it crashed over both men, spurting semen all over the shower floor. Jack reached out and grabbed his lover in his arms tightly. “So much for pure,” he muttered playfully as he reached around Ianto to grab the body soap.
“Never pure to begin with-and we now have forty-five minutes.”
“Love you.” Whispered Jack.
“Mmm, love you too, thanks for relaxing me,” replied Ianto feeling sated as he and Jack began to wash one another.

Tosh giggled as she moved the camera around the room of the small building, where Jack and Ianto would dedicate the rest of their lives to one another, and sign off on all the final paper work, making their civil partnership official. The Doctor stood up towards front of the room, straightening his tie.
Rose was naturally giggling away beside Tosh as they chatted; positive they were probably getting it all on tape. In Rose’s lap sat Rosie, amusing herself with a toy sonic screwdriver the Doctor had made her. The guest had begun to arrive, everyone was taking their seats. Tosh chuckled as she took a seat beside Ianto’s mam. “Anything you’d like to say to them on their honey moon?”
Maggie chuckled. “Probably nothing appropriate. Enjoy it boys, I’m happy you’re happy Cariad.” Tosh and Rose moved around the small hall, briefly interviewing everyone until finally the back doors opened, hand in hand, Jack Harkness, dressed in a nice dress suit, and Ianto in a similar one, both stepped towards the front of the ceremony hall. Tosh grinned as both Donna and Martha took a seat. All eyes were at the back of the room, where the doors had just opened and the two men stepped inside, hand in hand as they walked up the isle. Camera still trained on them, she followed them all the way up until they stood just in front of the Doctor.
“Welcome everyone, as you know by now we’re gathering here today to bind these two in a civil partnership. When first asked by Captain Jack to do the ceremony I was surprised, and excited. Because Jack isn’t the type of man I ever thought would settle down. But then he always was full of surprises. It wasn’t until I met the man he wanted to be with that I understood. If anyone has any reason why these two should not remain together, speak now.” The Doctor paused then continued. “Captain Jack Harkness, do you wish to spend your time with Ianto Jones, to be his best friend, to love him forever. Do you agree to work things out between the two of you, to be with him and care for him?”
Jack smiled as he squeezed his lover’s hand. “I do.” He slipped the one of the rings he’d bought so long ago, over Ianto’s finger.
“Ianto Jones, do you wish to spend your time with Jack, to be his best friend, to love him forever? Do you agree to work things out between the two of you and to be with him and care for him?”
Ianto felt his heart pounding as he nodded. “I do.” Ianto slowly did the same, slipping the ring over Jack’s slender long hands, grinning from ear to ear.
“Jack and Ianto, you two have promised to spend the rest of the time you have together. You are devoting yourselves to one another; there is nothing in this universe that is greater or more beautiful than love. May this binding contract remind you every day that you two have chosen to be together. I pronounce you partners-or husband and husband if you prefer.”
Jack chuckled as he leaned forward and pull Ianto in for a kiss. Cheers broke out through the hall. Then, Ianto released Jack, stepping away to the front row, he smiled as Rose deposited Rosie into his arms. Immediately at the sight of her daddy, Rosie latched on tight, giggling as she clapped her hands. Jack looped an arm through Ianto’s and they made their way towards the doors in the hall, Jack had just gained himself a real family.
The party was in full swing less than twenty minutes later, Tosh had the camera still as she mingled through the part. “Ianto!” she called out.
The man grinned as he turned around, having abandoned his lover to chat with his family for a few minutes. “Hi Tosh.”
“How do you feel? Any different?”
Ianto shrugged. “It’s nice to know that he loves me enough to do this, but I don’t expect that much to change. He’s still Jack.”
“You look happy Ianto.”
He nodded. “I am, thanks for coming Tosh. Oh Tosh! I’d like you to meet an old friend of mine, I knew him at the Uni, Henry. Henry, this is my friend Toshiko Sato.”
Tosh smiled at the handsome man with dark hair and bright eyes. “It’s nice to meet you, Ianto talks quite highly of you.”
“Oh, does he?” She grinned in a pleasant surprise before holding her camera close again. “Well, it was nice meeting you Henry, but I’ve got other’s to interview.”
