Gethin was floppy in Iantos arms, he and Jack raced to the infirmary, casually followed by Twain.

"It is a test, a truth if you will, you see you are not the first to denay a childs true parentage, The children will say their parents name on waking"

"And did you do this on that woman? She knows she doesn't belong to you"

"That was an unfortunate accident, and I want her back, now if possible"

"For a race who loves their children, you are incredibly blaise about her safety"

"You are also a race who loves theirs, what reason do I have to mistrust you."

"Give me back my memories and I will give you her back"

"If they remember you, so will you remember them" Twain smiled back mysteriously.

"Jack tapped his comms unit "Gwen, bring her up here."

The brunette woman ran into the room and flung herself into Twains arms

"Father" She gasped gratefully.

Twain kissed her lovingly on the head, before looking up at Jack. "Thankyou"

Ianto had been chewing his nail in the background

"Why?" he asked,looking up, "Why do you think they belong to you"

"My wife is dead" Twain answered, a hint of emotion passing over his face "She was pregnant when she was put in the pod, when we found her body she had no hint of childbirth,
my children were still out there, when we found them..." He paused and smiled, his hand resting on Gethins head before looking up and smiling at Ianto "I never thought that I could feel happiness again. It grieves me that this could be false."

A small cough caught Iantos attention.

"Beth, Bethan..? Ianto crowded over her sitting her up to breathe

"Da." Beth gasped with a wail, Jack crouched and looked into her face.

Beth squealing whilst being tickled

Beths first feed

Changing her top when she was sick

Breathing life into her tiny body

Jack gasped through the flashbacks

"I remember"

A wail brought him to his senses, looking into Gethins eyes he prepared himself

Being peed on whilst changing his nappy, Ianto laughing

Being frightened of hurting him when he slept with them

His heart swelling with pride when he realised how much Gethin reminded him of Ianto

Jack fell back off his haunches.

Ianto sitting on the sofa, hugely pregnant and miserable.

Iantos depression

Iantos burn on his upper arm

Opening his eyes he saw Ianto looking down at him

"You remember"

"Yes"

"Everything"

"Yes"

Ianto nodded slowly

"Good"

Jack slowly stood up, wrapping his arms around Ianto.

"I would have loved them you know" Twain looked back from where he was to teleport

"I'm sure"

"I will take more care in the future, I am most sorry for your distress"

"Forgiven"

Twain smiled weakly. "Come, Susan" He said, gesturing to the brunette woman. He nodded to Ianto and Jack, and was gone.

That was that, there is still an epiloge to go, am thinking about doing a series of one shots of the twins growing up, as I have several bits of ideas but nothing much for a full story.
