Prologue

Captain Jack Harkness walked into the underground, secret, work place. He had been to the pub and was feeling a little tipsy, but not enough to forget that he had left the computer system running while it downloaded the final file. He switched the light on out of habit although he could find his way around the underground interior without any light at all. Later on when he looked back on this night, he would be very glad that he had switched that light on.

On the table, wrapped in a large blanket, was a young girl, no older than four years of age. Jack strode over to the table, the child was fast asleep and there was a note next to her small torso; it read:

Please look after her, captain, I'm counting on you!

From

The Doctor

Jack smiled. It was just typical, the doctor would always turn up when he wasn't there and then he would leave notes to make sure that Jack knew he had come. Now he had left a present too and a rather big present too! Not knowing what else to do, Jack picked the little girl up into his arms and took her home.
