For the first time in nearly four years, the Doctor slept without the nightmares that usually plagued him. His mind was too busy trying to account for the portion of his telepathic abilities that had been completely empty for so long. Time Lords connected by telepathic means, and since the death of his people, his link to Time Lords had been painfully silent. Now it was buzzing pleasantly. Both Rose and Jenny's minds were connected to his. The Doctor couldn't restrain his joy at the connection. His mind was overflowing with love for the last two of his kind, his daughter and Rose. He subconsciously pulled Rose closer in his sleep, burying his face in her neck. She sighed in her sleep in relief. The feeling of being too far away from him abated. Neither the Doctor or Rose were aware of the connection they had right now, Jenny, however, was. She was also aware of the connection pulling her toward someone else, someone who obviously loved her mum and dad. She briefly wondered if that man would ever love her. He had seemed so familiar, so...safe. She could tell exactly where her mum was due to her dad's thoughts. She smiled mentally, briefly wondering why she wasn't dreaming yet. Something bright and gold caught her attention in her mum's mind. Jenny drifted closer only for the light to flare and completely encase her. There was a howl like that of a wolf and then something spoke.

"Hello Jenny."

"Who are you?" Jenny asked, afraid of the voice and the light.

"Do not be afraid child. I am the Bad Wolf, I am Rose Tyler, or as you would know me, mum."

"I don't understand..."

"The time war was never meant to happen. It put the universe out of balance. The Time Lords were never supposed to die Jenny. It is why I was created, why I created Rose Tyler to become me. The last of the time lords will be responsible for the recreation of his race. It will be different. The Doctor is how all Time Lords were supposed to be. They were meant to be protectors, champions of the universe. Without them, time is vulnerable. Your father is meant to restart his race with the woman he loves, you too have a part to play in this.

You are the catalyst, you began giving him the hope he needed that he was not the last, but the change was too quick. He would settle for the wrong person if he kept to this time line, so I interfered. I put Rose Tyler in the right place to make her your biological mother. I made sure she kept finding you and I changed her. I made sure that Gallifrey taught her what she needed and sent her back before the time lock. I sent Rose Tyler to you, to save her daughter, over and over. To teach you what she could and tell you the stories you needed to hear and when the time was right, I sent her to bring you with her to earth. I sent you Martha, a woman you trusted, Mickey, a man your father and mother trusted and Jack, the man who loves them both, the man who never dies."

"Why do all this though?"

"Your race must be rebuilt through each generation. Your father can't do it alone, he needs your mother. And that leaves you, their child, their time lord child. A child that will live impossibly long, one who would never otherwise have someone to love. Their is no other of your kind yet and the only way to do so would be your siblings, so I found him."

"Him?"

"A life mate for the first time child, Jack Harkness. I orchestrated his travel so he would find you. A mission to a library that trapped its inhabitants in the computers to save them. I gave you a life with him, a chance to get to know him, a chance to love him before I decided if he was the man for you. He was still human, so impossibly human and you loved him so much. When the Doctor and Donna pulled everyone out, I sent him back to the time agency. It was they who decreed that any knowledge of you was dangerous and they took his memories. How he met your parents was left to fate, but it was inevitable. He felt a connection to your parents, they felt familiar because you were their daughter. He fell in love with them because you are so like them. It was through them that I was able to make him the man he is. When Rose Tyler became the Bad Wolf, I gave him immortality. I knew he could be trusted with that which could be viewed as a gift or a curse. I knew that one day when his memory began returning, as it has been for months, that he would want to find you. He would be lost without you. You both have an important role to play in the events to come. You will need him like never before and he will need you daughter of time. I have searched long for his memories, sending him what I could. Tonight the final piece will fall in place, he will remember you."

"But I don't remember him."

"You will, when his touch reminds you." The presence faded from her mind and she slipped into dreams of a man she couldn't remember, a man she'd loved once.

Jack slept restlessly. Gold flashed behind his eyes, he'd seen it once before. Bad Wolf.

"Hello." The musical voice said.

"How are you here? And more importantly why?" The presence shimmered and formed into a girl he recognized as Jenny.

"It's time for you to understand and remember." She placed her hands on his temples and Jack was shocked as the remaining pieces of his once lost memories filled his mind. The missing element was there now, a girl, a specific girl. Before he could pull away, more images flashed in his mind. His life playing out starting with the library and every choice he'd made, how it had affected him and led him back to her. He woke up, tears streaming down his face as he remembered his lost love. Her face flashed in his mind and he gasped in shock. Jenny, she was Jenny. He couldn't wait, he needed to talk to Rose and to Jenny.

He stumbled down the hall to Rose's room and opened the door. The newly ginger girl as not there, her bed wasn't even there. He felt the Tardis brush his mind.

'Do not bother. She is with my thief. My thief and my wolf.' She hummed happily. 'You search for answers. You do not need them, go find her.' Jack left Rose's room headed for an unfamiliar door that seemed to call to him. He opened the door quietly and ducked inside before closing it again. He turned back in time for her to sit up.

"Who's there?" The girl asked. Jenny.

"Just me." Jack said softly, stepping forward to sit on the edge of her bed.

"Jack? What's wrong?" She sounded worried. He leaned forward running a hand along her cheek. She bit back a gasp and froze as she remembered clearly. Jack suddenly found himself with Jenny in his arms. He held her tight as she shook. He pulled her completely into his lap and dropped a kiss on her forehead. Her bare hands rested on his back.

He wore only his jeans, having pulled them on earlier to go find Rose to ask for help. Jenny wore very little. Her sports bra and a pair of short shorts she'd probably inherited from Rose. Her blonde ponytail was silky and Jack couldn't help but run his hands through it. She leaned into him further, her legs sliding until she straddled his lap on her knees. She moved her hands to push away from him slightly before bringing her lips down on his. She threw her pony tail back over her shoulder and then Jack's arms slid down to her lower back before pressing her more tightly against him. One of her hands was buried in his hair, the other rested on his shoulder. He kissed her desperately, even more desperate than she realized until she found herself with her back pressed into the bed and him on top of her, still kissing her. Finally the desperation abated and Jack finished, kissing her throat once before pulling her hard to his chest.

She snuggled into his warmth and didn't protest when he laid down beside her, burying his nose in her hair. She fell asleep still wrapped in Jack's arms.
