Martha couldn't remember much about the last few days. She now sat at her desk in the tourist office. Jack and Ianto had got the adoption papers written up and she had signed them. She said that Jack Harkness was the father of her unborn child and it was her wish that he and his partner Ianto Harkness-Jones bring up the child after her death. The solicitor had tears in his eyes as she told him about her imminent death. He signed the papers and promised to get them before a judge. That had been just under a week ago, the papers were now in Jack's safe, signed by a judge. As soon as little Rhiannon was born she was Jack and Ianto's daughter. Martha had signed away her parental rights before even giving birth to her child.

The tears fell as she leant back in the chair and laid her hands on her swollen stomach. She wanted nothing more than to be able to see her daughter grow up but that wasn't going to happen. She'd had to make a choice and, as she told Jack, she'd lived her life and loved every minute of it. She wanted the same for her daughter. She knew that Rhiannon would be well looked after by Jack and Ianto and loved more than anyone would think possible. She smiled as she thought about her little girl growing up around the Torchwood team. Owen Harper would take care of her when she was sick, Toshiko Sato would help her with her schoolwork, and Gwen Cooper would be the lovable auntie always there when you need a hug. Then there was Jack and Ianto Harkness-Jones. Her two daddies, no child would ever grow up more loved than this one.

Martha wiped the tears away as she felt her baby move inside her.

"I will always love you, Rhiannon," she whispered to her child and gently stroked her stomach.

Gwen helped Owen move the body of little Danielle from the freezer into the back of one of the Torchwood SUV's.

"What are you going to do with her Owen?" she asked.

"I've already rigged up an abandoned warehouse with explosives, I'm going to put her body nearby and blow it up. She'll get hit with debris and it'll look like she was killed in the blast."

"But Owen, she's been dead for two days. Won't they find that out in the autopsy?" questioned Gwen.

"No they won't. You see, when the police arrive, they'll find some odd pieces of machinery on the floor and call us in."

"Then we get her back again," said Gwen, confused.

"Yes but then I release her body to the family with a death certificate stating she was killed by flying debris from the explosion," he said, smiling.

"Very clever," said Gwen.

"I try," he said, smiling at her.

Gwen watched and sighed as Owen drove off alone to set up little Danielle's death. She really thought that when Rhys left she and Owen would get together, but that obviously wasn't going to happen. She turned and went back inside the Hub.

Gwen walked in the Hub, Toshiko, as usual, was at her desk tinkering with a bit of alien technology. She didn't even look up as Gwen walked past her desk on the way to her own. Sitting down at her workstation, Gwen switched on her computer and began typing up a report that Jack had asked her to do.

Owen pulled up outside the deserted warehouse and got out to set the charges and 'plant' some alien objects from the archives that had been catalogued as broken by Ianto. He walked through the warehouse carefully, setting charges just large enough to throw some debris and cause a large enough fire for someone to call the authorities. Then he returned to the SUV and to little Danielle's body. He carefully looked around to make sure that no-one was around to see him plant the little girl's body just close enough to the warehouse for it to look to the untrained eye that she had been killed in the explosion.

Owen gently laid Danielle's body down and returned to the SUV and headed back towards the city. He pulled up a mile away from the warehouse and stared at the explosive remote control on the chair next to him. The tears stung his eyes as he reached for it. He took a deep breath, as his thumb pressed the button; milliseconds later there was a large explosion a mile down the road. Owen started to cry as he drove away waiting for the call from the rest of the team.

Tosh jumped when the phone on her workstation rang.

"Torchwood," she said as she picked it up.

"This is the Cardiff Constabulary there's been an explosion and we think you will be interested?" said a male voice.

"Ok, where?" said Tosh and wrote down the details given to her.

She put the phone down and touched the earpiece she was wearing,

"Jack there's been an explosion!"

"Ianto and I will meet you at the SUV, where's Gwen and Owen?"

"Gwen's with me Owen left about 3 hours ago."

"Call Owen, tell him to meet us there," said Jack.

Tosh did as she was asked and called Owen and told him to meet them at the site. She didn't know he was already there waiting for them to call him. The only one that knew was Gwen.
