Note: Alright, here's the second chapter. I sort of just threw this together from a thought, so feel free to critic it if it's terrible.

It was four months after Jack had left. Gwen was one week from her due date and completely on edge. For the past four months, she had been feeling as if she were watched. There were times when she would see a man, the same man she realized after the third time she bumped into him, when she thought she saw someone familiar in him, but when she would look back to find him, he would be gone.
All in all, it had happened about ten different times in the four months, almost every other week and sometimes twice in one week. Gwen would keep trying to look closer at him if she ever saw him, but kept forgetting.
Now, as she sat in a hospital bed, holding her newborn daughter in her arms and hearing Rhys in the back of her mind cooing to their daughter, she saw him again. It was the doctor who was subbing for her original since it had been his day off. The man had a covering over half of his face and a hairnet to cover his hair, but his eyes. Oh, his eyes Gwen could see perfectly clear. It was his.
Rhys stepped out of the room as well as the other nurses, leaving her alone with her daughter and the doctor, "Jack?" she whispered.
The man said nothing, instead coming over to her and removing his mask, kissing the top of her head, "I'm proud of you, Gwen" he told her before replacing the mask and leaving.
Gwen smiled, looking down at her daughter and brought her close to kiss her forehead, "That was your Uncle Jack, sweetie. You don't know it yet, but he's brilliant" she told her as Rhys came back in. She handed their girl to him, watching as he cradled her in his arms, before she looked around the room. She noticed someone standing there at the door and couldn't help but smile. The man smiled back, his blue eyes sparkling in happiness before he turned to walk away.
It was only a brief glimpse of Jack, but it set her mind and heart at ease. He was safe. He was ok. And looking at her small family, thinking of all those they had lost and would lose if they got Torchwood back, she knew they would always be ok.
