Unknown Planet (Unknown Time)

Gently he set the now sleeping baby in the basket, tucking the watch with in the folds. He laid a gentle kiss on his little girl's forehead before setting her on the steps of the home in the predawn light. He prayed she would grow to be as strong and beautiful as her mother, and as intelligent as himself, however what he prayed for most was that she would be safe and happy in this other world.

Cardiff, Wales (2008)

With Jack gone, Gwen swiftly took over, hence giving even more time to Torchwood. After only a month of the near constant work Rhys couldn't handle it and told her it was him or "that bloody job." Gwen couldn't leave the team once again without a leader and begged Rhys to stay, however the next morning she was found sleeping on the couch in Torchwood by Owen. He held her while she cried, before telling her that she was always welcome to stay with him. By the time Jack showed up another 2 months later, Owen had proposed.

Tosh, while slightly disappointed in the loss of any chance with Owen was extremely happy for her friends. While the team had seemingly moved on from the abandonment of their Captain, she stilled missed him dearly, a trait she shared with Ianto. The two of them would go out 3-4 times a week to a small pub in between their two flats and would offer the other a shoulder to cry on.

When Jack returned from his trip with the Doctor he was surprised by how much his team had changed. When Ianto asked if he was leaving again his heart broke at the look in Ianto's eyes, it was like he was a small child begging their mother to tell them the monsters under the bed weren't real, but knew that they were. Jack wanted nothing more than to pull him into his arms and assure him for hours on end that he wouldn't leave him again, however he wasn't sure if the Coffee Boy would forgive him so quickly or easily. The appearance of John Hart didn't make things any easier, and his announcement of Gray was hardest of all. That night Ianto found him in his office staring out over the Hub and his team as they left, tears slowly making tracks down his face. That night for the first time in longer than he could remember he let someone hold him while he cried, and after he cried over the loss of not only his family but also his own innocence, he told his beautiful Welshman the story of his home.
