*sneaks up behind her and lays his hands on her shoulders, whispering in her ear* Fancy it? You and me, run away together and tell everyone else to fuck themselves?
*shakes his head* Women have no clue how it feels...to be on the outside. When...you get pregnant and...there's that connection. As soon as you find out. There's a person growing inside you. And you bond right there and then and you have NO idea what it's like to be a man. To feel like...you're just...DNA. You're just...a method of fertilisation that could be replaced with a...a fucking turkey baster. You've no idea what it feels like, to...feel so unimportant. And I thought...naive Ianto thought that...if it were two men...you wouldn't get that. And yet...I didn't even know. Iw asn't deemed important enough to even been told. Don't mind me, I'm just the father. Sorry, sperm donor. My rights don't even exist until the kid is born and even then...since I'm a just a father they're not equal. I...I need to go to the future. *stands* Wanna go on a trip.
Ten: *smiles then glances at Ianto, slightly less warm than he was with Gwen* So, Mr. Jones, where can I chauffer you to today?
Ianto: *doesn't look like he wants to be trifled with* Jack's pregnant. I want to know what my official rights are as a father because clearly they aren't important to anyone but me. So, I want to go to the future and...find out.
Ten: *frowns* Jack's pregnant? *is getting dangerously close to a pout*
Ianto: Oh, I'm surprised you don't know. I'd've figured you'd be one of the first to know...you know, since I wasn't. *sighs* I need to find out some stuff. Take me to...I dunno..51st century. I want to go to a library.
Ten: *is still frowny-pouting* *glances at Gwen* You along for the ride then?
Ten: *sets coordinates, frowning a lot* *is all sorts of jealous but would never admit to it* Listen, Ianto...I'm not sure what you're worried about. Jack is...I mean, god, he practically worships you.
Ianto: *snorts* Yeah, fantastic. So, Gwen, what was the first thing you did when you thought I got you pregnant? Did you go tell some other person? No, you told me. Cause the kid would've been my responsibility. Any normal person would tell the person who knocked them up, provided they're on good terms. But apparently *quote fingers* marriage isn't good enough terms. I still wouldn't know had I not tracked him down and dragged it out of him. Fuck that! *is full-blown ranting now* I put up with more crap from him that I'd put up with from anyone else. Anyone! And why? Because he's cute? Because he's a fantastic lay? Because he's exciting? Why should I? He shared what should have been a life-altering amazing moment of our relationship with someone else!
Ten: *knows better than to contribute any further to the conversation since he knows Ianto's probably armed* *fiddles with the console and eavesdrops*
Ianto: He said he needed time to think. Think about what? Whether he wanted to tell me at all? Or if he wanted to keep it? He couldn't just...got rid of it. And just never told me. For all I know he might've had I not shown up when I did. And there's nothing I would've been able to do about it. Because I'm just the father. I have no right to tell him he should've taken me with him. He should've told me he suspected. I've no right at all because it's his body and therefore, it's his baby.
*laughs a little bitterly* Thanks, Gwen, but I don't. If you had been pregnant, you would've never had to tell me. You could've just had an abortion and carried on with your life. I know...I know you wouldn't have but...just...as an example. Until that baby is born, I'm just...the last guy Jack slept with. At least as far as I know. That's why I want to go to teh future. See if laws have changed. See if..there's some way that...anything that happens- any decisions Jack makes about any babies I father has to be cleared by me.

Ten: *steps out, leaning against the door* Do I look like a time vortex taxi?
Ianto: No. But you're hear so I take it you don't mind.
Ten: *feigns a sigh*Oh fine, come on in. Wipe your feet at the door. *smiles at Gwen* *in Welsh* You're welcome any time, Lovely.
