Chapter 10
When Jack and Gwen pulled apart they saw Ianto and Martha talking in the doorway. Ianto then caught their gaze out of the corner of his eye and smiled.
Gwen looked at Jack, "Can I have a moment alone with Ianto?" she asked.
He nodded, stood up and left the room.
Ianto then walked over and hugged Gwen. She gave him a hug back, feeling only slightly awkward. When they parted Gwen had a curious look on her face, "You're not angry?"
"About what?" Ianto inquired.
"Well…me and Jack…" she replied.
"Oh…" Ianto was silent as he thought, "I told Jack the same thing, you make him happy, and that's all that matters to me."
Gwen sighed, "It was never supposed to happen, and I tried everything I could to ignore any feelings I had for Jack. Mainly because of you….and because of Rhys. I never wanted to hurt anyone…" she looked down at her hands.
Ianto sat down and hugged Gwen again, "It hurts barely. Don't worry about me, alright?"
She nodded and as she hugged Ianto she looked out of the door way into the offices and saw Jack glance at her, and he smiled.

"So what do you want to do tonight?" Jack asked Gwen as he popped a Spring Roll into his mouth.
"I dunno," Gwen answered slowly.
It was later that evening and the two were alone in the hub.
"We should celebrate," Jack commented.
Gwen laughed, "I think an early night could suffice," she said with a grin.
Jack slowed the process of swallowing his sushi and Gwen laughed at his expression.
"Are you implying what I think you're implying?" he asked once the food had gone down.
"I don't know…what do you think I'm implying?"
Jack stood up from his seat and took one short step over to Gwen, she looked up at him with a mischievous look in her face, and he leaned down and brought her lips to his. Gwen let the passion of the kiss take over a bit and a moment later there was a clatter as she dropped her chop sticks. Gwen then stood up, her lips still molded to Jacks and they slowly made their way to the door of the office. They stopped for a moment as Jack gently pushed her up against the door frame and pulled his lips away to begin to gently kiss the nape of her neck.
She sighed softly and as Jack continued his work on her neck, Gwen's hands began to pull his braces down. Within just a few moments Gwen had managed to strip Jack of his shirt, and their tongues were dueling again. The need for the other was so great. It had been rising since Gwen had battled death earlier that day. The need to touch each other and be with each other had become great, to make sure the other was there, to make sure that everything wasn't some sort of dream.
This proved to Gwen that she had not died, because the way Gwen yearned for Jack was too great and passionate to be allowed in any kind of place beyond death. They stopped outside the bedroom they shared and for a moment just smiled at each other. Jack kissed Gwen gently and lovingly and she just smiled. He then pulled her shirt off exposing her breasts which were covered by a black lacy bra which he removed quickly. Jack then lifted Gwen which caused her to give a brief squeal at the unexpected move; he then opened the door to the room and carried her in. He took her to the bed and set her down gently.
Gwen removed her jeans and knickers and Jack removed his remaining clothing. He then sat down next to her and began to kiss her again. Then his lips returned to nape of her neck and down to her chest and stomach. As he placed the gentle kisses to her torso his fingers were dancing lightly across her thigh, and every once in awhile his fingers went inside her thigh, causing Gwen to moan softly every time this happened.
"Jack?" she suddenly asked softly.
He looked up at with concern, "Is something wrong?"
"No I just…" she couldn't put it into words and slightly spread her legs.
Jack figured out what she was hinting at and took her in his arms, kissing her gently. He then laid her back down, after giving her a sense of being close and then he slowly lowered into her. Gwen closed her eyes as they became one, her swollen lips parted slightly as she felt different tingles, some old, and some were strangely new.
"Okay now?" he asked.
She nodded. Jack then smiled at Gwen who had opened her eyes and was smiling back. He then began to slowly rock inside of her. They moved together in order to bring their partner as much pleasure as possible. So as Jack began to pull out and then go back in, Gwen bucked her body up. This went on for another minute or two, until both knew they were reaching their peak. Together they came, Gwen crying out Jack's name softly. After a few minutes Jack felt himself soften and pulled out of Gwen slowly. He lay down next to her and then pulled her to him. She rested her head on his chest and began to get a normal pattern of breathing.
Jack then moved onto his side, Gwen rolled onto her side as well so that they were facing each other. She put her hands on the pillow and placed her head on her hands. He studied her for a moment, taking in the sight of this beautiful woman. Half covered by a thin sheet. Gwen smiled as she buried her head into his chest, allowing sleep to take over a few minutes later.
Jack didn't sleep that night, at least not for some time; he just watched Gwen, and thought about everything that had brought them to this point. Gray coming back, and taking Owen and Tosh's lives had brought them together. It had always been an attempt to heal together, from the pain they had been enduring together. Then in healing together, they recognized the love that had always been there; and with Gwen leaving Rhys that day…he had been touched that she had been willing to make that move. Rhys had known Gwen so much longer than she had known Jack, then after only knowing someone for two years she left her partner…the man she had spent the last few years since college with.
No one had ever cared enough for him to do that. Gwen Cooper was not the first married woman he had slept with…but the other women…and men for that matter never even considered leaving their partners for Jack. Eventually Jack kissed Gwen on the temple gently, "I love you Gwen Cooper," he then whispered. The last thing he saw that night before allowing sleep to take over was her smiling face….

A/N- Was that a good ending? Or was it cheesy? You decide for me…I've been blessed enough to be able to steal the modem from my mums room and was able to finish this damn story. And OMG! Tuesday the 19th…I went to a concert, for the people who sang half the songs on the soundtrack for this story?! They were fabbie! Plus with the exception of 'Where We Went Wrong, they sang all of the songs I used on this story! Which in case you didn't realize it, I used these songs as titles! As You Cry winkwink, 'We Intertwined, and Don't Wake Me Up. I took video of it, and I hope to try to find a way to get it onto the computer…I hope…if it's doable I'll let you lot know or something.
Plus I want to say…they were sooo nice!! I got autographs from the entire band and my picture taken with all of them! Plus hugs from Bob and Greta! It was amazing!! Anywhos…review…spread the love…..all we need is love….right? All my love, always….and also make sure to look out for any stories. I've been thinking about another Torchwood one…though it's not guaranteed to be a love story…which would be weird…because I always write love stories! I guess you'll have to wait and see! As always thank you for the kind reviews you have all been so gracious to offer. I usually do like a long winded thing thanking each and every person, but you all know who you are…plus it's like 12:33 am where I'm at and I want this damn thing posted and finished! Lol….you all know who you are and I am so grateful for your love and support! Keep an open eye for anything else I might pop out! I love you all dearly!
All my love, today, tomorrow, and forever, Beccs!
