A/N: Hi all, I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who read and reviewed this story, 7 reviews and 9 story alerts (which is a lot for me)!!! I know the first chapter didn't really give you any answers, it just managed to confuse some people but hopefully the next couple of chapters will explain everything. I have decided to post a chapter a day for the next week and once I reach the end of the already written chapters any new ones will be posted as and when I can write them. I've already started writing again, it's slow going but my muse is slowly coming back to me thanks to your reviews!!! I have also decided not to post a disclaimer on all the chapters like I have in the past, one on the first chapter is enough because there's no way I'm ever going to own anything so successful that it would have an archive on here.

The sound of the cog door rolling back made both women in the medical bay jump, although Martha was just pretending. She quickly finished off bandaging Gwen's arm before anyone had time to approach them. Gwen jumped up and rushed up the stairs while Martha followed at a slightly slower pace secretly wishing that it had been her right not her left arm that had been injured. It would have made things go a lot smoother if it had.

By the time she got up the steps both Gwen and Jack were not moving, just staring at each other, Rose and Donna were looking around in awe at the hub and even more so when Myfanwy decided it was time to stretch her wings and started flying around. Only the Doctor seemed to be unfazed by it all and walk right up to her and enveloped her in a big bear hug. Pulling back he said "Well well well Martha Jones. How's life treating you these days?"

"Good. The family send their love."

"I didn't realise your mum even liked me that much."

"She's grown to like you."

"Mum's never do like him. My mum even slapped you once," interjected Rose.

"Ha is that why you said 'it's always the mothers!' when mine slapped you as well?"

"Yep. I think I need to try to work on being mo…" Their conversation was interrupted by Gwen stalking up to Jack and punching him in the face.

"You left us!!! YOU FUCKING BASTARD! YOU LEFT US AGAIN!!!"

Jack staggered back not just from the force of the blow but also Gwen's words. "You bugger off to God knows where and just leave us a shitting note! 'Don't worry. I've gone with some friends. Will be back soon.'?! What the fuck were we supposed to do, Jack? You left me and Ianto to handle not only the rift, but the rebuilding of Cardiff."

"I didn't mean to be away so long! I thought it would help me come to terms with what happened."

"And has it?! 'Cause it sure as hell hasn't helped us."

While they were yelling two men walked up from the cells to find out what all the commotion was about.

"How the hell was I supposed to help you two if I couldn't even help myself?"

"By just being there. Supporting each other. That's how we made it through when you left."

"What…" The sound of footsteps behind him made Jack turn round. "What the hell are they doing here?!"

"Oh that's nice!" "We don't even get a hello? You need to be taught some manners," were the replies of Andy and Captain John Hart respectively.

"I hired Andy to help us out soon after you left. And John returned just over a month ago and saved all our lives so I asked if he would be willing to hang around for a bit to help us. It was also when I called Martha asking if she would be willing to help us out as it has already been proved that we need a fully trained medic out in the field with us."

"That was not your decision to make, Gwen!"

"You made it my decision when you buggered off. You've been gone for over a month. What did you expect us to do? Wait for you to come back while two of us struggled to keep control of what comes through the rift, the weevils?"

"You could have…"

"Done what Jack?" There was no reply from the Captain. "Exactly. Now if you don't mind I have to go to the hospital. Andy, do you have the paperwork from tonight? I'll fill it in while I'm there. Martha, make sure you get some proper sleep in a bed when you get home. We all know how uncomfortable those chairs are," said Gwen as she walked past Jack not sparing him another look.

"Sure, it's all here."

"Hang on. Why do you need to go to the hospital?" Jack asked

"Look around you Jack. Who's not here who should be?" Realisation dawned on him. "And if you dare follow me or anyone there tonight I will shoot you. You're just lucky I had to take my gun off when Martha was stitching me up."

Gwen walked off towards the cog door, picking up her jacket and gun on the way, leaving an uncomfortable silence in her wake.

A/N2: Can you guess who it is yet? I'll give you each one guess, not that you'd need any more lol. REVIEW, you know you want to!
