Author's Note: Sorry I haven't been posting guys, I've been focusing on school, and honestly I haven't known exactly how to write this chapter. Again I say, Luke is not in character because I haven't seen SJA, I just needed him for his abilities.

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who…an evil genius of the name of Moffat does. However, this story and Leah Jackson are as much mine as the fact that Jack Harkness always comes back to life.

Chapter 10: Repeatedly

Captain Jack Harkness sat in the bar on one of the rings of Saturn. He'd been looking for Jenny for months now. He still wasn't sure exactly what she looked like, but he had a feeling it wouldn't be hard to pick her out of a crowd.

Jack was still wondering how Leah had produced a working vortex manipulator. John had told him there were only seven time agents left, counting them, and it was unlikely she'd come across any of them. He brushed it off and hoped she'd tell him later.

Suddenly a conversation snapped Jack out of his musings.

"Been looking for her dad for ages, she said. I took pity on her, she looked so tuckered out, so I gave her a room for the night above my shop." It was the barmaid talking to a patron.

"Excuse me, hi, Captain Jack Harkness," he interrupted, throwing the charm on immediately. "Say you put a girl up here?"

"Just for the night, says she never stays in one place too long." The barmaid replied easily.

That's gotta be her. "Where is she?" he asked eagerly.

"Just walked in." The woman pointed to the entrance.

Jack turned and saw the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen, and that was saying something. He'd had been joking with Leah about how his life was run by blonds, referring to her and Rose. But this girl's hair was literally golden the way it shined and almost made it seem as if a halo was resting above her head. He could easily see himself doing anything she asked of him. She wore her hair tight in a ponytail and he wondered for a moment what it would look like let down and able to bounce around. He quickly changed his line of thinking; he'd never disrespect the Doctor that way. He remembered how hot-tempered the Doc would get when he'd harmlessly flirted with Rose. If he even thought about his daughter…Jack suppressed a shudder of the possibilities of the Time Lord's rage.

Jenny was walking over to the bar, but Jack could tell she was fighting an uneasy feeling. He took this as a good sign, assuming it was the effect he was having on her Time Lord physiology of being a fixed point in time. He walked over to the stool she now occupied and sat down beside her.

"Hi, Captain Jack Harness." He offered his hand.

She took it easily and smiled at him. "Hello, I'm Jenny. Don't really have a last name."

You could have mine. He thought before he could catch himself. Focus, Jacky boy. "That's fine. They're overrated anyway. So, where you from?"

Jenny knew a pick up when she heard one, but this man didn't look at her the way most men did when that's what they were going after, so she decided to tell her story to him.

"Well, technically I was born on Messaline. But my dad's not from there, I've been looking for him for quite a while."

"Who's you dad?" Jack was sure he knew the answer to the question, but he had to be sure.

"He's called the Doctor."

Jack smiled wide. "I thought so."

Jenny's smile was bright as a thousand watts as her eyes filled with hope. "You know him?"

"I used to travel with him for a while. We keep in touch…Sorta." Jack shrugged.

"Can you help me find him? I've been trying so hard for so long, but since he can travel in time, it's been pretty pointless."

Jack showed his wrist in a way where she could see the vortex manipulator. "That's where this comes in handy."

"You can time travel with that?"

"Yep. Not as smooth as a TARDIS, you might get sick till you get used to it."

"When can we leave?" She asked with the excitement of a child.

"Whenever you want, doll.

"Is now ok?"

Jack walked in the hotel room he'd just reserved for the weekend. He and Jenny had been searching for six months for the Doctor and Leah. They kept missing them, sometimes even watching as the TARDIS finished the dematerialization sequence. It was starting to become very taxing on Jenny's morale, so Jack suggested a weekend off to relax.

They had grown close over the last few months together. It seemed the "Always running for your lives", was genetic. They had gotten into a few predicaments, which had actually made them grow close with having to trust each other so completely. Jack had tried his hardest not to get involved with Jenny out of respect for the Doctor. He knew Doc would disapprove. But she was just something special. As he got to know her he grew to like her more and more. He hadn't felt that way since Ianto.

And he believed she returned his feelings. If she didn't he would drop it right there. But she gave the subtle hints. She's give him flirty smiles. She'd hug him just a little longer than necessary when they said goodnight. Last night she had even kissed him on the cheek. He didn't know what to do. He had even subconsciously stopped flirting ever since he started travelling with her.

Jack quickly recognized the feelings he had, but tried to keep them concealed due to the Doctor's more than likely disapproval.

Jenny walked in the room right past him, and plopped on the bed she apparently was claiming as hers.

"Jack, what is this?" She asked.

"A hotel." He smirked.

"Don't be a smartass. You and me. What's this between us?" She asked seriously.

He took a deep breath and sighed heavily.

"Jenny…" he began.

"I like you, Jack." She cut him off.

"I like you, too. Probably even love you." He finally admitted out loud.

"So we can be together." She announced.

He shook his head. "It's not that simple, doll."

"Why the hell not?" She rose from the bed and was in his face now, that familiar storm building in her eyes. He loved it about her, but it also reminded of the answer to her question, the other place he'd seen that storm.

"Your dad would never stand for me and you being together." He explained.

She crossed her arms over her chest. "My dad's not here right now. We might never find him, Jack. I'm sick of wasting time. I love you; you just said you love me. If my father has a problem with that than I can deal with him."

"He's gonna kill me." Jack said as he gave in and kissed her.

Jenny had kissed men before. Hell, she'd kissed one before she was even six hours old on Messaline. But this kiss with Jack was totally different; she felt her stomach flip flop like it did the first time she travelled with the vortex manipulator, but in a good way. Only after he pulled away did she process what he'd said.

"You're immortal; you'll just come back to life." She giggled.

"Exactly, which means he can do it repeatedly."

Jenny was walking into the hotel lobby to ask the concierge a question. Just as she made it into the main room she heard it, the materialization sequence of the TARDIS. She ran back to the room to wake Jack.

"Up, up, up, up, up." Jenny yelled as soon as she'd walked through the door.

Jack groaned. "Come on, doll. It's our vacation. I don't want to get up early." He opened one eye to see her packing and went into fight or flight shooting up from the bed. "What is it?"

"TARDIS. In the lobby. Get dressed. NOW!" she ordered.

And just like that, he was up.

"Where are we this time?" Leah asked as she and Luke stepped out of the TARDIS hand in hand.

"Quantum III, it's a luxury planet." The Doctor said as he followed. "Figured we could use some rest after our last adventure."

"You mean after you caused Custer's Last Stand?" Luke asked smartly.

"I was just giving him an inspirational speech. How was I supposed to know it was Colonel Custer?" the Doctor defended himself.

"The Civil War outfit, along with the goatee might have been a tip off." Leah quipped. "Does this place have a nice spa?" She changed years before they caused a scene.

"Of course it has a spa. It's a luxury planet. Emphasis on the luxury. Actually…" the Doctor trailed off as he sensed something impossible. He thought he sensed another Time Lord for a moment.

Jack and Jenny hurried to finish getting their things together. As they walked down the hallway Jack reminded her, "Remember, he's regenerated since you last saw him. He almost looks the same age as you."

"Literally or physically?"

He didn't answer her as they kept running.

"Jack?"

"I'm thinking!"

Just then they made it to the lobby where they saw the Doctor, Luke, and Leah.

"That's them."

"Which one's Dad?"

"The one in the God awful bowtie."

"Bowties are cool." The Doctor said as he defended the insult he had heard. He turned around and gawked when he saw Jack and…was that Jenny? But it couldn't be.

Jenny froze as she saw the group in front of the TARDIS. Jack was right behind her, hand rubbing her back. "Well, he's seen us." Jack said.

But it wasn't her dad that had made her stop. Glad as she was to finally see him, she was hit with an odd feeling. The girl that was with them called to the Time Lord part of her. She didn't know why, but she felt an odd sense of familiarity with the girl. Jack's pushing on her back finally registered with her as she saw the group looked towards them. She ran towards them and hugged the Doctor.

"Dad! I've been looking for you for so long!"

"Jenny?" The Doctor sputtered as he embraced the girl in his arms. He never thought…wait. He pulled her at arm's length. "You were dead. I watched you die. I waited for you to regenerate, but you never did."

"The terraforming healed her after you left." Jack walked up to the group.

"Jack!" Leah instantly embraced him.

"Hey, you." He squeezed her. He nodded in Luke's direction. "Luke."

"Captain." He nodded back. Leah pulled away from Jack and grabbed Luke's hand again when she felt the uncertainty in him.

It was only a hello, I love you. She thought to him.

He smiled down at her. I know, Dearheart.

Jack noticed the whole exchange and smiled. Ianto always wanted them to end up together.

"How did you find me? Jack, how are you even on this planet? Jenny, this is 100 years before you were even born!" the Doctor asked his questions a million miles a second.

"Have a new toy, Doc." Jack showed him his vortex manipulator.

"I broke yours!" The Doctor exclaimed.

"I gave him a working one." Leah stated.

"And where did you get it?" The Doctor turned on her.

"My mother gave it to me when I was young. I've only used it three times. Then I gave it to Jack so he could find Jenny." She explained.

"And how did you know Jenny was alive? Do you know her?"

"I've never met her before," Jenny finally joined the conversation. "But she seems familiar somehow."

This didn't deter the Doctor's question. "Have you met her?"

"No, it was one of the brain message unlock things the last time we saw Jack. It said he had to be the one to find her." She defended.

"It's true; she had no knowledge of Jenny before the visit with Jack." Luke backed her up.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but you've theorized these messages are from you. So shouldn't I follow the instructions explicitly?"

The Doctor accepted both of their answers and finally faced his daughter again. He was smiling excited to see another Gallifreyan still alive. Then his smile disappeared when he saw that she and Captain Jack each had an arm wrapped around the other's waist.

"Oh, no." he shook his head. "You two cannot be involved romantically."

"Oh, but we are." Jenny stepped towards him challengingly.

"Doctor," Leah sighed. "You've just been reunited with your daughter, who you thought was dead. Don't ruin it by scolding her choice in boyfriend."

"But…" he tried. Luke interrupted.

"She's right, Doctor. She's a grown woman. Let's just have the nice vacation we planned."

The Doctor's shoulders dropped in defeat but he raised a finger to Jack in final warning. "Hurt my daughter, Harkness, and you'll know why I'm called the Oncoming Storm" He smirked evilly. "Repeatedly."

Jack looked terrified at Jenny pointing at the Doctor. "See! I told you!"

"No, you won't, Dad. I love him and there's nothing you can do about it." Jenny said as she slapped down the hand Jack was pointing at her father.

"Love?" the Doctor choked.

"Love." She affirmed as she hugged Jack.

"Well, Doctor." Leah teased. "I might have been Captain Jack's sister-in-law, but now you're going to be his father-in-law."

Jack coughed, the girls giggled, Luke chuckled.

The Doctor groaned.

Hours later when they'd all separated into their hotel rooms Luke and Leah were sitting in their room talking about the events of the day.

"Things are pulling together." Luke stated.

"I know, I can feel it. Also, there's only one entry in River's journal about Jenny."

"True, but that's not what I was talking about." He said as he came and sat on her bed with her. "The locked parts of your mind are almost all opened now. Soon we'll know everything."

"I know." Leah said. Luke felt the fear ooze off of her with that's statement.

"Hey, what's wrong, Dearheart?" he asked worriedly.

"I'm a mystery. That's what's special about me. That's why you and the Doctor find me so fascinating. I'm a puzzle to solve. Once all the pieces are in place, there's no reason to stay around me anymore." She revealed to him her worst fears.

"Bullocks." She looked up at him in surprise of his course tone. "The Doctor will still want you around even as you're puzzle gets solved. He's come to care about you. As for me," He kissed her deeply and passionately, channeling all his love directly towards her.

"I've been in love with you from day one. Not because you're interesting as a mystery, but because you're you. There's no other Leah Jackson in the universe. And quite frankly, I'm glad there isn't. Means I have a one of a kind beauty that others would be willing to kill for."

Leah smiled through the tears his declaration had caused her.

"I love you, too, Luke Smith."

"Also, you're too weird for the universe to handle there being two of you." He chuckled.

"Jerk." Leah pushed him down on the bed and they both collapsed into laughter.

The next night

The Doctor straightened up his new suit and smoothed his new hairstyle. He'd kissed Jenny and Leah goodnight as they retired for the night with their better halves. Well…maybe Jenny was Jack's better half. They had decided they'd take a trip to see the Singing Towers of Darillium tomorrow. So he bought a new suit for the occasion and took the TARDIS on a quick trip to pick up one more member for the party.

He knocked on the door, and when it opened he saw his wife smile.

"Hello, sweetie."

He smiled sadly.

"Hi, honey. I'm home."
