Who: Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, Jack Harkness (posting order as well?)
When: Mid morning, day 20
Where: Outside Jack and Ianto's room to start
What: The stress finally gets to Gwen and a girl just needs the 2 people she can trust here and team bonding
Rating: PG-13 for talk of TW's season 2 finale and the crossover with DW and SJA
Status: Complete
Summary: TBA

Gwen decided it was her turn to bring the tea and coffee in order to keep a tiny piece of her Cardiff life together in spite of being stuck on the planet. So after she dressed in jeans and a sweater (plus her wedding ring on its chain) she made 3 steaming cups and left to visit Jack and Ianto. But she was also hiding the fact the stress of recent events was finally starting to take a toll on her, mind and body. The slight sneezes could be passed off as leftovers from her landing in a sewer puddle then the larger body of water on the planet but her friends would see the truth. So she knocked on the door with tray in tow and made a weak try at a joke,"Coffee lady bearing coffee!" but she let out another sneeze. Her hands shook somewhat as she held onto the tray, a sign whoever answered her knock would quickly spot.

But she felt as miserable as she looked, the beginnings of a stress induced cold on the horizon. Her eyes were bloodshot from having cried herself to sleep the prior night (due to nightmares) and well the water landing did not exactly help matters either. But the cold would be a short lived one, only a couple of days at worst. But this would also serve as a reminder, she could trust at least 2 people with the darkness racing around her soul. Everything over the last 3 or so weeks had led up to this: from losing Tosh and Owen to the Daleks, being pulled to the planet and being apart from her husband.

All Gwen needed at the moment was to just be undersood, nightmares and all.

Ianto looked up from where he'd been sitting writing in his new diary for a moment, then placed his pen book, closed the book, and rose to his feet, wondering who it was. As he walked to the door, he heard Gwen call out and he smiled.

He opened the door and motioned for her to come in. "Hello, Gwen. Not trying to takeover my job, are you?" he joked, closing the door behind her after she came in.

"Just needed to regrab that tiny bit of life as we knew it" Gwen weakly joked. Her eyes were bloodshot red from crying the night before and she was shaking slightly as she set the tray and 3 cups of coffee down onto the table. She looked as miserable as she was feeling but hiding that from both Ianto and Jack.

"Hopefully I make decent coffee" as she turned and quickly sneezed, the beginnings of a stress induced cold in full bloom.

	As she walked in, Ianto studied her closely, reading her. He frowned, reaching out and placing a hand on her shoulder. Squeezing it in what he hoped was a comforting gesture, he asked, "Are you alright?" Obviously, she wasn't because she looked like hell but if she didn't want to talk about it, Ianto wouldn't force her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Besides feeling like pure crap?" Gwen was honest. She hid the fact she had spent most of the night before puking her brains out. (Reply to this) (Parent)
