A few days later I sat in the spacious kitchen of Boshane manor. I was seated at the kitchen table ,sipping a cup of coffee. I sat reading the morning paper. As I sat there, a story caught my eye. My hand rose to my mouth in utter shock. As I let out a "OH MY GOD." my husband Prince Jackson Harkness entered the room. Jack was carrying our six month old daughter Leighla Isabella in his arms.
Jack frowned as he saw the look on my face ." Yani? What's wrong ... What is it? " Still carrying our daughter in his arms , my prince came over to where I sat and peered over my shoulder. Again he asked." What is it Yani.?"
The head line read " Local man dies in car crash ."
Frowning ,Jack's eyes scrolled down the article . The man in question was Mark Smith. Mark had been my first sort of boyfriend when we had been at school. The relationship had only lasted 6 months. Jack,even though he had taken a disliking to Mark , had supported me through the relationship. Although I was dating Mark, my heart was never in it. Something in me always knew my heart belonged to my Torchwood Prince Jack Harkness.
I had started being abused by Mark on our first date. Jack had found out shortly afterwords as Mark had tried to keep me separated from my family and Jack. But Jack was having none of that One day Jack had made me tell him what was going on. I had broken down and told Jack every thing. My prince held me as I cried bitter tears.
Unknown to Mark , Jack and I met in secret at my family's home. Jack would often come over after my parents were asleep. He would often shimmy up the trellis out side my room . Much like he had done in our childhood.
Jack would also stay the night with me. We would just talk far in to the night. I would fall asleep in his arms. We never worried about getting caught by my parents. In fact when we would go down to breakfast in the morning , my father and mother would greet him warmly. To them, Jack was part of the family ,spending the night was the norm to them.
The final straw for my prince was when he witnessed Mark striking me at school . I had just told Mark that we were no longer going together. Mark had not taken it well and shoved me against the lockers at school. Jack had seen this and had flown to my aide .
Jack had told Mark in no uncertain terms that I was no longer his boyfriend or his punching bag. And that if Mark ever touched me again he would be sorry. Mark never bothered me again.
A short time later Jack and I became a official couple. My going out with Mark was dubbed by Jack as the year that never was.
Now as I felt my husband place his free hand on my shoulder as he held our daughter in his other,Jack kissed the top of my head as he murmured as he sat down " You ok?"
I looked up at the two people I loved most in the world. Jack , my husband and the love of my life, whom I had loved since my childhood. And our daughter Leighla Isabella, the child our love had created .
I smiled warmly at the two as I quietly took hold of our baby's tiny hand,drew it to my lips to place a kiss on it. "Good morning."
She cooed and smiled at me. I then looked at Jack and we kissed. I then spoke. "I'm fine sire ... As long as I have my princess and my king, I will always be happy and content."
Jack gently nuzzled my neck and gave me a butterfly kiss and tickled Leighla under her chin causing us both to giggle." and daddy king loves his peanut princess and his Yani"
Ok I know you are all wondering why I told about Mark being killed but it will be come clear ( I hope ) in future chaps...this is kind of a filler... To tide you all over till the next chap... Was thinking of having Ianto creating a foundation to help young people in abusive relationships. PC , I love Janto what do you think? And don't worry we will have a b day party for the Peanut.
