Heya! sorry chapter 1 was so short, but hope you like it would love some feed back :3 x

It was half way through the day now and Jack's christmas spirit hadn't lifted. The cell had got colder and his chances of escaping this seemed zero to one. He wished he'd put on some more suitable clothing for the occasion, his bare top half was covered in goose bumps and his trousers weren't exactly party wear. His eyes suddenly snapped up back to the door infront of him as it opened shedding light across the cell. A female figure silhouetted against the bright light.

"Not even a bloody christmas card" came the highly distinguishable welsh accent

"well i couldn't find a nice one to send down" he smiled as his eyes adjusted to the light revealing Gwen Cooper, he laughed and stood up meekly his legs wobbling due to his crouching postition. He rain towards her his arms wide grasping his last thread of the past. They laughed in unison the police officer huffing and walking away was enough to let jack know that this christmas wasn't going to be a lonely one.

"He's about this much taller than me, this much thinner than me and this much bloody better looking than me" Rhys Williams told the tailor. Rhys was overjoyed that jack was coming back, Gwen hadn't been the same without Torchwood, however he was not happy about the fact he had to buy christmas presants, on christmas day for jack bloody harkness. He'd carried 8 full giftwrapped bags round the shops and he had to but another chicken so that he could feed everyone. The Tailor came back with a Navy greatcoat and rhys gave away the last of his money, " bloody torchwood"

Jack and Gwen climbed into the Gwen's car, jack feeling the benefit of the warmth as he did so

"It's nice to see you and all. And merry christmas by the way, but how the hell did you know where i was?"

"Ah" Gwen tapped her nose "An unreliable source"

Jack pondered this thought but decided not to query. Jack couldn't help but frown at the site of Cardiff bay clear. Clear of rubble and clear of torchwood. Everything he'd made there, everything he'd been proud of, his tribute to the doctor had been destroyed in a matter of seconds.

"It hasn't been the same you know" Gwen broke the trail of Jack's thought

"I bet" he croaked holding back the slightest of tears

Gwen saw a struggling Rhys run down their road, aiming to get into the house before, for jack not to see the presnats in his arms and baby Seren giggling on his back just enjoying the ride

They pulled up in front Gwen's one bedroom apartment

"Ah, home sweet home" laughed Jack

" Come on you before the neighbours think i've got some topless man for christmas" she laughed taking him by the hand and led him inside the Cooper/Williams household.

"You wish" Jack laughed
