Ok so here's the 4th chapter. Woah how time flies when your on a computer lol. Hope you enjoy it xx p.s you know the drill. Please R&R XX
Gwen felt the beating sun shine down on her as she walked out of the tourist office. She saw Jack and Rosie holding hands not far in front and set off to go with them towards the bay. Suddenly Rhys walked straight in front of her.
"Where the fuck have you been Gwen?" Rhys hissed at her. Jack, not far infront heard Gwen's name and turned round and saw Rhys. At first he wasn't going to go to them because there would be too many questions about Rosie but then he heard him full on shouting and swearing at Gwen, who looked increasingly upset, so walked over, to try and see what was happening.
"You know what Gwen, fuck you. Your a slut. I'm not stupid. You've been away for 3 days, not one word off you and-" He stopped and turned to Jack.
"Should have guessed. Prince Charming comes and saves you. You make me sick." Rhys growled.
"Nice to see you to Rhys" Jack replied smutly. Although he couldn't really say that it was much of a pleasure to see that bastard.
"Mummy why is that man shouting at you?" Rosie asked. Shit Jack thought.
"Shh" Jack said quickly trying to shut the little girl up.
"Don't shush me daddy you silly billy" She replied with a stern look on her face.
"Oh, how fucking sweet! Jack and Gwen, mummy and daddy! Who the fuck is she?" He shouted.
"Don't shout at her!" Gwen balled. It was the first time she'd spoke for a while.
"It's to do with Torchwood Rhys just a miss understanding she's confused. Don't get into it. I'll be home tonight but I need to get back to work. Cya" And with that they walked off.
After they got a safe distance, Jack turned to her. "Why did you say that in front of her?" He asked. He could see by Rosie face, and quietness that she was deeply hurt by her mothers comment.
"What was I meant to say. If he knew he'd leave me" She replied.
"Wouldn't be such a bad thing" Jack mumbled quietly.
"It would be to me!" She shouted back at him.
"Look, Gwen. In the not too distant future we've got a daughter together. Doesn't that make you think that maybe your not gunna be with him in the future. Maybe you should let go now?" He replied.
"Maybe she's mine and Rhys' daughter" She was clutching a straw here.
"And why on earth would you convince your daughter that I was her father if Rhys was!?. Tell her that Rhys was her father when I was, yeah maybe. If we'd had a drunken fumble but come on Gwen face it!" He told her.
"Well maybe she's your daughter from a quicky, and she was left on your door step and so you raised her think I was her mother." She really was desperate now.
"The only way you'd let me do that was if we were together, so you again wouldn't be with Rhys. Oh and just to state the obvious, she's the spitting image of you apart from my blue eyes!" He began to raise his voice. Gwen was defeated. She looked down at the innocent little girl, dragged into such a complicated life. She sighed, knowing Jack was right.
"Yeah you're right. I'm sorry" She said. Jack wrapped his arm round her. Some how while arguing they'd managed to walk to the bay and Rosie was now playing happily on the wooden docks.
Jack looked down into Gwen's eyes. They both instinctively moved closer and before they knew it there lips had locked in a soft passionate kiss. After a few seconds they pulled away and stared lovingly at each other. They looked round to see Rosie near the waters edge splashing the water. They walked towards her.
"Rosie come away from the waters edge" Gwen called. She didn't listen. "Rosie come on. Be careful." Jack walked hastily forward but before he had chance to get there Rosie lost balance and fell into the deep water and disappeared. Jack ran to the edge and didn't see her surface so jump straight in after her.
"Rosie!!" Gwen screamed. Panic struck straight away, and she ran to the edge, praying for them both to come up safely. A few seconds later there was a huge splash and a soaked Jack raised above the water with a spluttering Rosie.
"Oh my god. Thankgod!" Gwen breathed. She helped pull Rosie onto the side and held her in her arms as Jack pulled himself out. A concerned elderly couple walked past and offered them a towel.
"Here you go, wrap her in this. Oh the poor child" They cooed. Gwen smiled gratefully as Jack wrapped Rosie up tight. He sat her on his knee and held her tight to his chest.
"Don't you ever do that again" Jack scolded her, but inside he was just so grateful she was ok.
"Listen to us in future Rosie" Gwen said softly. "You scared the hell out of us"
The old couple stayed a few minutes before heading off again.
"Keep the towel dear. It's chilly out here"
"Thankyou" Gwen said gratefully and with that they headed off leaving the three of them sat on the edge of the bay.
After 10 minutes or so, they stood up and had a slow walk back to the Hub, with Jack holding Rosie in one arm, and holding Gwen's hand in his free hand. Gwen looked up at Jack and Rosie and smiled to herself. She liked the idea of a perfect family and all thoughts of wanting to stay with Rhys disappeared. Jack looked at Gwen and she leaned into him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and she rested her head on his. They stayed like that until they got into the hub.
Ok, was that just slushy or what! Lol. I really enjoyed writing that chapter cos it was just such a normal family moment. My mum sed me and my brother both did something like that when we
