Authors note: Sorry, sorry, sorry. I am so sorry. I meant to have this chapter up nearly a week ago but my laptop decided it hated me and the Internet broke. Still, no harm done, the chapters here now (obviously or you wouldn't be reading this) Okay, this chapter starts to build up on the plot of the story a bit more, so just bare with me.

Diclaimer: I do not own Torchwood. I do now own a Torchwood magazine now though. I got it yesterday. *laughs like a happy maniac and does happy dance*

Gwen and Jack were standing next to a tank. Jack had two needles full of blood in his hands. The one in his right hand was Gwen's, the one in his left, Rhys's.

"So remind me again what this is supposed to do," Gwen looked cautiously at the tank.

"Well," Jack began. "I inject the blood into here," Jack pointed at a small hole on the side of the tank. "And the blood fuses together to form a solid body."

"A child," Gwen said softly.

"Right, a child," Jack nodded. "A child that should grow exactly like Toshiko did, except, instead of being inside you, it'll be inside this glass tank, so we can see exactly how it develops. That should give us a bit of insight into how Tosh can be so absolutely perfect. Only problem is, we are creating a new life, which we can't just get rid of, and we could put it up for adoption, but it's going to be so perfect that it'll not be safe with normal people's family's and then it will be tested on and poked by scientists, so either you and Rhys, or I will have to take care of it, as you, Gwen, are a woman, you make the best candidate. Do you accept the challenge?"

Gwen stood to attention, "I accept Captain, reporting and ready for duty."

Jack laughed, "Good, let's do this thang." Jack put on a cowboy accent.

Gwen reached out and took Jack's hand, "Do you mind if I inject the blood?"

"Go ahead," Jack handed her the needles. "It's your baby, you might as well make it."

Gwen inserted the blood into the tank, it immediately swirled in the liquid within the tank and solidified together. It formed the body of a foetus.

"Bloody hell," Gwen gasped. "That was fast."

"Has to be," Jack grinned. "We don't have all the time in the world. We want to find out as much about your daughter as possible.

Gwen's phone rang, she turned away from Jack and answered.

"Gwen Cooper."

"I know, why else would I ring your mobile?"

"Dad?"

"Yes, Gwen. Your mother asked me to call you and ask you 'round for lunch. She says it's about time we saw you. When was the last time? Your wedding? Yes that was it. So can you come?"

Gwen smiled, typical dad, always talking "Umm, hang on, I'll just see if I can leave work."

Gwen put her phone down next to her thigh, "Jack, my parents want me to come 'round for lunch, do you need me here."

"No," Jack smiled. "Take a break, you've been working since I left, have a break."

"Thanks," Gwen smiled. "I'll be taking Toshiko, so you don't do any experiments on her while I'm gone."

Jack nodded, somewhat reluctantly.

Gwen raised her mobile to her ear and walked away from Jack, "Okay, I'll be there in an hour."

"An hour?" it was Gwen's mother's voice on the phone now. "That long."

"That's quick Mum," Gwen said. "I have to get Rhys and then drive all the way to Swansea."

"Okay, I'll see you in about an hour."

Rhys walked back into the hub with several video tapes and Toshiko, "I got the tapes."

"Great," Gwen grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the invisible lift. "And I got you lunch, come on let's go, leave the tapes on the floor."

Gwen looked at the tapes, then pulled out one of them, "Except that one, Jack can't see that."

Jack yanked the video out of her hands, "I need them all"

"Ahh, Jack!" Gwen tried to grab it off him.

"Go," Jack smiled. "You'll be late to lunch."

He shooed Rhys and Gwen out the door and then looked at the video in his hand. Fun, they got to go out to lunch with the folks, and he had to stay here and watch Gwen giving birth. He wasn't sure who got the better end of the deal.
