Doctor: I still can't believe that you did that to Jack.
Me: I thought it could use a bit of a comedic touch.
Jack: Oh yeah, very funny.
Me: *smacks him in the back of the head* Thanks again to rainegeek for reviewing, I love ya!
(Doctor turns on the theme song)
The Doctor looked at Jack and said "What are you doing here?" he asked.
"Bleeding, thanks to your friend." Jack said, putting the tissue back onto his bleeding head.
"Well, she's never seen you before, can you blame her for wanting to protect herself."
"I told her that I knew you, though!" Jack said, pointing into the kitchen.
"She's been lied to for about half of her life, so she didn't know if you were telling the truth or not."
"Lied to?" Jack asked.
"For several years now, she'd thought that-"
"I'll thank you not to talk about my personal life, Trev." She said, breezing through.
The Doctor looked ashamed of himself. "Sorry, Larla, I wasn't thinking. Forgive me?"
"Don't I always?" she smiled, kissing his cheek.
"Trev? Larla?" Jack asked.
"She calls me Trev or Trevelyn instead of 'the Doctor'." He said, wrapping his arms around her.
"And he calls me Larla instead of 'Aleesia." She replied, smiling at him.
"Ugh, I think I'm gonna hurl." Jack muttered, earning himself glares from both the Doctor and Aleesia.
"So…again, Harkness, why are you here?" the Doctor asked, sitting on the couch, with Aleesia on his lap, he wasn't letting her go, giving Jack the chance to flirt with her, but he had to admit, if she attacked him, he would be hysterical laughing.
"We need you, Doc." Jack said, leaning against the console.
"For what?" the Doctor laughed. "Torchwood losing brain-cells?"
"Very funny." Jack said, voice dripping with sarcasm. "Gwen's gone missing; her husband came and told me today. She went on vacation with her sister and never came back." Jack said, looking at his feet.
"So, what do you need me for? She used to be a police officer, go send out an alert."
"We have, but there's been nothing so far." Jack said.
"So then you wait." The Doctor said, shrugging.
"No, Doc, you don't get it. Her sister came back…Gwen didn't."
"Did you talk to the sister?" he asked, starting to become concerned.
"She said that Gwen was getting the next flight." Jack said, nodding. "We checked with the airline, Gwen never got on the plane…she checked out of her hotel but never made it to the airline." Jack looked the Doctor dead in the eye. "Please, Doctor, I'm asking you not only as a friend…but I'm asking for her husband who is out of his mind with worry, for my team who hasn't slept in twenty-four hours, looking for her and for the fact that her husband told me that she's pregnant."
"We're on it."
The men both looked at Aleesia, whom had been silent up until now.
"Thank you, Aleesia. Let me get back and tell them we have the best team on it."
With that he used his vortex-manipulator and went back to Torchwood.
"I'm sorry." She said, looking at the Doctor, "I should've stayed quiet."
"Why do you want to interfere?" he asked, looking sideways at her.
"She's going to have a baby, Doctor. Children are hope for a better tomorrow, if we sit and do nothing, we are giving up hope and no one should be without hope."
He held her tight. "I knew you had a good reason for wanting to help."
"You're not mad?" she asked.
He shook his head and smiled. "How could I be mad?"
"Easily, you could go all crazy Time-Lord on me." she said, shrugging.
"'Help' is the one word I've never been able to refuse. You passed a test by me acting like I didn't want to help but you passed it by putting words in my mouth."
"I can think of something else to put in your mouth." She smiled.
His eyes grew wide, still holding her tightly.
Without a single word, she put a bit of toast in his mouth. He gagged on it slightly, before laughing at her. "Oh, that's it, you're in for it now."
"Ya gotta catch me first." She said, hopping off his lap and running full speed into the next room.
He had to give her one thing…she was very good at keeping him on his toes.
