A Day on Drax Three

Constellation of Synthia

Outskirts of Draxiar- The Harkness Estate

Morning

It had been five months since Amy and Rory had passed. Amelia and Jack were handling it better than I was. I figured that was because I knew what was going to happen and they didn't. I had taken to working out in my spare time, and now I was able to spar with Jack and Nathan (a stable hand who happened to be very good martial artist) and hold my own.

I awoke to an empty bed. Then I remembered that Jack had to go into Draxiar today to meet with some clients. I looked at the note he left besides the bed.

I'll be back before dinner. XX.- Jack.

I sighed and got ready for the day. I used the showers and put on some comfortable brown pants and an blue blouse. I sat down in front of my mirror and stared at my reflection. My ginger hair was down to the center of my back. My black, square glasses, pushed up to the bridge of my nose.

I looked down at my desk and saw scissors. I looked back at my reflection, then back at the scissors. I took out my cell and called Jessica, one of my most trusted employee's. After five minutes she knocked on the bedroom door and I called, "Enter."

Jessica entered, her brown hair tumbling down her back in curly waves. She wore a blue dress and was quite tall. "You called?"

I nodded. "Would you mind cutting my hair?"

Jessica looked puzzled. "Why would you want it cut? It's beautiful the way it is."

"I just want a change. Cut it pixie style."

Mid-morning

I went downstairs after Jessica left, my head feeling one hundred times lighter. I took one look at the mess Lia and Jack left in the kitchen from breakfast and groaned. Today would be more washing and cleaning.

12:30 (noon)

I had just finished cleaning the kitchen when the door slammed closed…. Amelia was home from school. The school day started at 7:00 and ended at noon. "I'm in the kitchen, sweetheart!" I called, then as an afterthought, "Remember to do your homework!"

"I know!" Came an annoyed response back.

I sighed and shook my head. Lia must have had a bad day at school.

Afternoon

I had cleaned up from lunch and was now at my computer, making some new adjustments for our farm. We were slowly gaining more publicity because we grew a variety of food from thousands of planets, and all without any chemicals.

That was why Jack was in Draxiar right now, to get some major stores to sell some of our goods.

There was a knock and Lia stuck her head around my study door. "Mum, I'm going to Arya Quiar's house. I'll be back before dinner."

"Just be careful." I replied. "Remember you can call my cell if anything happens."

Lia rolled her eyes. "I know, Mum."

Evening

Jack had just gotten home from Draxiar. We were all sitting around the kitchen table playing Draxiar's version of Monopoly. "And that's three more Spaceship's for me." Lia declared, putting one spaceship on each red color. She grinned. "Now I have an entire side of the board, and it's right before the 'go to prison' spot too."

I looked at Jack and he said, "Shit. We'll beat her, don't worry, Susan."

I rolled my eyes at my husband's language. "I know, darling."

Night

I snuggled up close to Jack as we tried to go to sleep. "Jack?" I whispered.

"Yes?" Jack whispered back.

"Do you ever miss living on Earth?" I asked.

Jack was quiet for some time, then, "Yes, of course."

I sighed and hugged Jack. "I do as well. I wish we could go back, but I don't think Amelia is ready. She would have to be able to fend for herself. We wouldn't always be able to be there for her. Especially in an end of the world crisis."

"Those happen a lot, don't you think?" Jack asked.

I let out a soft laugh. "Yeah. Though I do miss those as well. I miss Torchwood."

"We'll be with them soon. Just two more years till Amelia is eighteen." Jack said, kissing my temple. "Two more years."
