I had been put under a babysitting program after that night, I was allowed to stay in the condo but there had to be someone with me at all times. Ianto had mornings he would arrive at eight and I would always awake to the smell of a fresh pot of coffee brewing, it was a nice reminder that I still had some home comforts even though I wasn't allowed to leave my new home. Gwen had the afternoon, she would arrive at two and leave at seven. She had the shortest shift, Gwen told me it was because Jack didn't want to get any further into boyfriends bad book anymore then he already was. I liked Gwen we got along well enough, I would make her dinner and we would sit on the couch and just talk, through her I learned what torchwood did, how they were outside the government saving the world everyday from things that no one knew about.

It was crazy, and hard for me to comprehend at first that as a planet there was so many times we were so close to being wiped out and really not one person cared, or remembered, my heart sank for these people, these people that would in the end die to save earth and no one would even know their names. Then there was Jack, a man who couldn't die as I had been told by Gwen. He would arrive and stay till Ianto got there in the morning. He didn't talk much the first few nights, he would just sit in one of the chairs in the living room and watch me. The first night he was there I almost couldn't stand the look in his eyes when I would turn around and forget he would be watching me, he looked so lonely, so lost.

Ianto and Gwen had been nice enough to lend me some clothes so I wasn't stuck wearing the same thing every day. From Gwen I received a pair of jeans that fit surprisingly well and a few tanks and undergarments. Ianto had lent me a few button down shirts, which I mostly wore to bed and in the mornings as I ate breakfast, with him.

Never had I seen anyone blush as much as Ianto, I remember the second morning he was there, and I had forgotten that all I was wearing was his shirt which was just long enough to cover me until I bent down to grab something out of the fridge when it would rise up enough to show what color I wore today.

It was I believe the fifth morning I had awoken and went to head to the kitchen when I had caught Jack and Ianto snogging in the door way, trying to be polite I backed back up into my room and made a show of coming out in order to give them some warning. That was the day, day five that Jack finally spoke to me. He told me that he was sorry for keeping me locked up, that he was sorry for treating me not like the human I was. After his apology I remember falling asleep that night on the couch, at about two in the morning after he had finished telling me about one of his adventures before torchwood.

When I awoke in the morning I was in bed and the smell of coffee hit my nose telling me Jack was gone. I walked out into the kitchen in my usual morning garb. "Good morning Ianto."

"Good morning Jade." Ianto smiled up at me from the morning paper. "Jack has said I'm allowed to take you out today, in order to get you a wardrobe."

"That's wonderful!" I'm pretty sure at that moment my smile hit the roof. I was finally going to be allowed outside to see the sun. "I guess I'd better eat quickly then I want to spend as much time out there as I can." Ianto just laughed at my enthusiasm.

I had quickly eaten my breakfast and showered, changing into the clothes I had received upon my first visit to torchwood I came out into the entry way to find Ianto waiting by the door for me.

"I figure we can go get most of the shopping done now, and then have some lunch, then I can take you to…umm…purchase some undergarments." I had to laugh as I watched Ianto stutter over the last part.

"That sounds wonderful Ianto; maybe I'll even do some modeling for you." I could hear Ianto swallow, as he tried to busy himself by straitening his tie.

We left the condo and made our way to a black SUV, Ianto opened the passenger door for me and allowed me in, closing it once I was settled. He then proceeded to get into the driver's side and we took off down the street.

It was such a beautiful day I had rolled down the window and had may hand outside letting the wind hit it as we drove. We stopped in the middle of what appeared to be a market district with many shops, and before I even had a chance to reach for the handle Ianto had already come and opened the door for me, helping me out of the vehicle.

We had shopped until poor Ianto could hold bags no longer. Ianto had informed me that Jack had given her full permission to get whatever she wanted as it may be some time before she would be allowed back out. Stopping back at the SUV we dropped off the bags and then set off for lunch.

Ianto found us a quiet little patio to eat at, and like a gentleman pulled my seat out for me when we were directed to our table. "Are you enjoying today then?" He questioned as he sat down across from me.

"Oh it's wonderful, I honestly don't think it could be any better," I looked up at him with a smile, and then my eyes glanced over his shoulder to see a table of girls most likely around my age in the corner of the patio staring at us. "and I think it just got better, you have some admirers."

"What!" Ianto's eyes went wide and he turned around. I watched as the girls all turned their heads and started to whisper across their table.

"Can't blame them can you, they must hate me right now." We ate and chatted for about an hour, and every so often I would catch the table staring at them, it made me smile, Ianto was very cute. Once we were done eating Ianto paid the bill and pulled out my chair for me, and as I stood I couldn't help myself, I took a step towards him and pulled him into a kiss. "Sorry, I just had to do it, I needed to protect you before they all pounced." I laughed, at least until I seen the look on Ianto's face, he looked horrified. I quickly brushed past him and made my way back to the SUV. One I arrived I heard the beep of him unlocking the doors and I entered the vehicle quickly slamming the door behind me.

Once Ianto got into the car I looked over at him. "I'm sorry Ianto, I wasn't thinking."

"It's…alright, let's go finish our shopping." We drove off to another section of town and entered a lingerie store.

"If you'd rather wait outside you can."

"No, I'm not allowed to leave you, its fine Ill just sit out here and you can try stuff on, just let me know if you need anything." We were there for the rest of the day, I felt bad once we had finished and I had looked at the clock.

We were on our way back to the condo when I looked over at Ianto, "I'm sorry for wasting your afternoon in that store, who would have thought it takes that long to try on underwear."

"It's quite alright." We pulled up to my home just as Gwen was arriving. She helped us take everything in and without us even noticing Ianto left, all we heard was the SUV start and watched it as it took off past the window.

"Well now that was odd wasn't it?" Gwen stated as she sat down on the couch.

"I think I may have just screwed myself over."

"What are you talking about?"

"I kissed Ianto today." I spoke as I sat down next to Gwen, she just stared at me as if I had just run over her cat. "What? We were at lunch and there was a table of girls pinning over him, I thought it would be fun to see the looks on their faces."

"Ianto is a very humble and shy man."

"So I've learned. Want to see what I bought today." I smiled with big eyes, "Ohhh, girl's night!" Gwen yelled as she jumped up from the couch.

We had unpacked everything I had purchased, we ordered pizza for dinner and had a fun night of trying on everything. Gwen and myself were sitting on the bed, clothes everywhere each wearing something I had purchased from today, we were both roughly the same size and she was to have a date with her man tonight and she was going to burrow one of the little numbers I had purchased.

"Ladies?" Suddenly the door to the bedroom opened and Jack stepped in, finding Gwen and myself on the bed, her in a sexy black dress and myself in only a button down top and my underwear. "Oh, how do you feel about a third." Jack smiled as he ran in and hopped on the end of the bed between the both of us.

"Jack!" Gwen exclaimed as she stood and ran her hands over the dress getting the wrinkles out. "I'll see you tomorrow Jade, and thanks again Rhys is going to love this." With that she left the room leaving just Jack and Myself.

Jack kicked off his shoes and scooted up onto the bed where Gwen had just been. "How was your outing today then?"

"It was wonderful thank you," I smiled until I remembered about Ianto, "that is until I kissed Ianto and scared the piss right out of him."

"You did what?"

"Sorry, I know about you and him, I thought it would be fun to make some girls jealous that were checking him when we were at our lunch."

"You know about Ianto and myself?"

"I saw you both one morning, in the doorway, when you must have been leaving."

"Jack?" I questioned looking up at him, "How long do you think it will be until I'm better, until I'm normal. Today reminded me that I can't just go and live my life anymore, not when I…when I could hurt people."

"We are working everyday to find out what's going on Jade, we will make this better." Jack reached out and wrapped his arms around me holding me to his chest, as silent tears ran down my cheeks.

"I miss my life." The last thing I remember was crying into the Jacks chest as he patted my hair, after that I had fallen asleep. Waking I looked at the clock to see it was just about four in the morning, sitting up on the bed I found Jack not in the room and the clothes that were strewn around the room were neatly folded on a chair by the door.

I slid out of the bed, and left the room, as I emerged into the hallway I could see a light coming from the living room so I followed it. When I arrived I found Jack sleep in the corner of the couch, grabbing the throw from the back I draped it across him, and made my way to bed turning the light off as I went.
