A tale about a romance between Captain Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper. Set roughly around 3 years after the events of Miracle Day.
==========Day 1==========
As Jack caressed Gwen's cheek, she started to think about Rhys, and that devastating crash that killed him and left their young daughter, Anwen still in a coma. She started to move away from him but Jack grabbed her by her arms.
"Gwen, I have always loved you. I danced with you at your wedding, I saved you from alien spawn and I will always love you." His sexy blue eyes starting to mist over with emotions, pleaded with her to see; to understand, that what he was saying, was the truth. "Even though the Doctor told me loving a mortal was impossible, I still loved you. I could never find a soulmate in any century that I've been in, because I what I was looking for, was YOU."
"Jack " Gwen's voice husky with the tears she was fighting. "You can't keep telling me that you love me. I have Anwen to worry about and Rhys- "
"Is dead. For 2 and half years now" Jack interjected desperately. "Gwen, I know you're hurting, but it is way past time to move on. For Anwen, for me." He was crying; his eyes smouldering with the barely restrained passion he had burning away at him, for her. Always would it be for her.
She ran home.
==========Day 2==========
3 p.m the next day
Gwen's phone buzzed.
"Hello?" Her voice tinged with sleep.
"Is this Anwen Williams' mother?" a voice crisply inquired.
"Yes, who is this?" Gwen said, wide awake.
"This is Head Nurse Elanor Robertson from Mercy General Hospital Coma Ward. I am calling to inform you that Anwen is awake and requested you immediately." Nurse Robertson informed her.
"My God." Gwen gasped. "My baby's awake? I am on my way now"
"See you soon" Elanor replied, hanging up.
"Rhys?" Gwen started to cry now. "She's awake, love. She's awake"
There was no reply. That broke her heart more than she wanted to admit to anyone least of all herself..
==========Day 2 part 2==========
"Mama?" Anwen's voice, sounding so tired, so old despite being only 3.
"I'm here baby" Gwen spoke from above her head. "I'm here"
"Daddy?" she quivered her lip knowing something was up.
"No, baby. He couldn't be here, but he is watching over us all" Jack spoke up from the doorway, knowing Gwen needed him
when she sent that text message:
"Anwen's awake. Just got the call. Come with me?"
"Uncle Jack! Tell me Doctor story please?" Anwen begged, her huge hazel eyes, so much like her mother's shining.
"Of course I will, princess" He said ,shifting up and on to the bed; as she cuddled up into his arms.
Gwen stepped out of the room to find the nurse, just as Jack started on a story about his travels with the Doctor to entertain Anwen.
"Nurse Robertson?" Gwen inquired...
==========Day 2 Part 3==========
"And then, when the Doctor looked at me I knew it was over. We won, princess" Jack said smiling down at his sleepy charge.
"Uncle Jack? Do you love Mama?"Anwen yawned, hardly able to keep her eyes open.
"Yes. I do love your mother. I always have" he said, after a long pause. But she was already asleep.
Gwen stood silently in the doorway, watching them together, her heart melting at the sight of Jack and her daughter sitting together with Anwen asleep on Jack's shoulder.
