Not as long as previous chapter but I got one more chapter after this to end it all.

Jack had been staring at the phone for the past two hours ever since Ianto went back up to the tourist office he hadn't moved at all. He would go for the phone but then not know what he would say and bring his hand back to his side. After a bit he finally decided he'd wing it, usually worked for him in his life why not now. He dialed Gwen's number and waited as the rings went off one right after the other. In the background he hear the Hub doors open and assumed Ianto came back down for some coffee or to talk some more.

That's when he heard the ringing phone that sounded the same time his rings went off in his ear. Turning he saw Gwen standing there holding up her cell. Smiling at him with her innocent sweet smile almost made him want to run to her and sweep her off her feet right there. Instead he put the phone back in its cradle and went out hands in pockets walking towards her. "What brings you around Gwen? I thought you were out and about with Rhys?" Jack asked coming across easy and calm when it tore him inside to think of her with someone else.

Pocketing her phone she rubbed her hands together in front of her lowering her eyes and biting her bottom lip she mumbled out, "I came here to see you." Hardly hearing her he went closer feeling her warm heat from being outside radiating close to his own body, the smell of her mixed with strawberry shampoo she used intoxicated him. She took a deep breath and looked up at him.

"Jack I gave Rhys the Retcon." Gwen said with a little remorse coming thru her voice. Surprised he his hands went to his hips and he asked, "Why did you do that, I thought you wanted him to remember what he had done for you?" Shaking her head she started explaining, "I thought that's what I wanted but I came to realize with some help that this life isn't for Rhys, sooner or later he wouldn't handle it. Plus I don't think he should keep the memories of this place if we aren't dating anymore."

He had almost missed her last statement as she had gone over it fast. "What was that darling?" 'Well..." she began then took his hand in hers and continued still having him confused, "I figured out that I love Rhys but I'm not in love with him. He is a nice guy really yet it isn't who I want to be with or see myself with at the end of it all." Unsure of this turn of events he didn't want to push it but wanted to know, "Where did this come from Gwen why now?" Blue eyes boring into lovely brown ones she answered, "I have always felt this way since I first meet you but I always thought you didn't want me. Then I saw you and Ianto together and convinced me Rhys was all I am ever going to have. When you agreed to let him keep his memories for my sake I realized you did care for me."

Interlacing her hand with his he glanced down at their fingers entwined and smiled. "I love you Jack Harkness, always have, and always will." Letting go of her he picked her up from her waist and twirled her around. She squealed a bit having been lifted catching her off guard. He laughed at the noise she made bringing her back down into his body. He held her there her body pushed against his; keeping her a good feet off the ground. She snaked her arms around his neck holding onto him just as strong.

"I love you so much Gwen Cooper you have no idea." He grinned all toothy letting his forehead rest against hers. She gave a half smile the corners of her mouth going up a bit in a sexy way that made his blood start to stir. "Oh I have a pretty good idea Jack." "I bet you do." He sarcastically said with a raised eyebrow making her giggle. When she stopped they both stared at one another seriously not breaking eye contact he took one hand off her waist to bring it up to her hair. He tilted her face upwards at an angle to better get at those delicious provocative lips of hers. She was so soft under his kiss it was like sinking into silk.

Their first kiss was innocent and sweet breaking apart after a minute to tenderly gaze on each other. When they were going in for another kiss a cough rang out interrupting them. Both heads turned to see the team standing there at the entrance smiling and staring at them.
