"Well if there was someone who was to have my back, I can't think of anyone else who could do a better job." She smiled softly, brushing her thumb over his knuckles. "It will be okay, Jack." It was something that she wanted to be true. She hadn't seen him this shaken up since... It hadn't even been real. He'd been close when they'd had problems stabilizing Ianto, but the last time he'd been this bad had been after he'd gotten out of that Nexus thing... Bloody hell it had been a long year.
Martha looked at Jack with a small smile, trying to cover her discomfort. "Yes, I'm fine... Just been a bit under the weather the last few weeks, a bit queezy at the most inappropriate times." she forced a smile. "Started about three weeks ago. Must be something going around." She'd been queezy during her last rounds - it had started suddenly. So she hadn't ruled out a stomach flu, a mild one. "I'll be fine," she tried to assure him. She'd been keeping it to herself as in the last weeks they'd been busy. VERY busy. Trying to stabilize Ianto had been top priority. She knew how do wait.
