Owen passed the tiny baby to Tosh, who immediately wrapped her in a blanket and took her to a small table set to the side. Tosh started doing basic checks on her; everything seemed fine.
"Talk to me, Tosh," said Owen as he began to try and stem Martha's heavy bleeding.
"She seems okay. She's breathing on her own for now," she said as she clamped the umbilical cord and cut it. Then she wrapped baby Rhiannon up in a couple of clean blankets and carried the precious bundle to a waiting Jack.
"She's okay for now, Jack," Tosh said and gently placed Rhiannon in his arms.
Tears appeared in Jack's eyes as he looked at his new daughter. Ianto put an arm round his partners' shoulders and looked at Rhiannon.
"She's gorgeous," he whispered as he gently touched her cheek.
"Just like her mother." He looked at Martha. She was still conscious but for how long they didn't know.
"Martha, can you see her?" he asked as he turned the tiny bundle in his arms towards her.
Martha managed a weak smile. Jack stood up and gently laid his daughter on Martha's chest. She placed a gentle kiss on her daughter's head.
"Take her away," she whispered with tears in her eyes.
Jack turned and passed Rhiannon over to Gwen. "Gwen, take her straight to special care baby unit and ask for Dr. Sara Mills; she's expecting you and Tosh," said Owen.
Gwen nodded and Tosh walked up next to her and wrapped another blanket around the tiny baby.
Jack turned to Tosh. "You have the number for the private nurse I gave you," he said.
"Yes, Jack. I'll ring her on the way to the hospital."
"Ok. Ianto and I will be there later, will you stay with her until we get there?" he asked Tosh.
"I'll be there with her, Jack. Don't worry, she won't be left alone for a second," said Gwen, knowing that Tosh wanted to come back and be with Martha.
"Thanks, Gwen," said Jack, smiling at her.
********
Gwen and Tosh arrived at the hospital and walked straight to the special care baby unit. Gwen was cradling Rhiannon in her arms when they got to the security door.
Tosh reached up and pressed the buzzer for access. A nurse answered via the intercom.
"Can I help you?"
"Toshiko Sato and Gwen Cooper, we're with Torchwood," she said.
"Yes, Doctor Mills is waiting for you," the nurse said and buzzed the door open.
Tosh and Gwen walked into the unit and a young woman approached them. She had bright red hair tied into a ponytail and was wearing jeans and trainers.
"Toshiko, I'm Sara, good to meet you. The side room is ready. Come this way and I'll check the baby over," she said and immediately led them to a side room.
Tosh waited patiently with Gwen for the next 30 minutes as Dr. Mills examined Rhiannon. After what seemed like hours, she finally stopped and turned to them both.
"Ok, she is a premature baby, correct?"
"Yes, by 7 weeks," Tosh said, then added, "Is she alright?"
"Yes, considering she is premature, she is doing quite well. I'm going to put her on a heart monitor, just as a precaution. Also, as her oxygen levels are lower than normal due to her lungs having to work harder than normal, I'm going to put a tube in her nose with oxygen to help her out a bit. Other than that, she's fine."
"That's great news, I'll tell Jack and Ianto," said Tosh.
"Tell Jack I'll stay with Rhiannon until either he or Ianto gets here. I won't leave her for a second," said Gwen.
"Thanks, Gwen, I know it should be me but…"
"It's alright, Tosh. Tell Martha I said goodbye," said Gwen.

The TARDIS doors opened and Rose and the Doctor stepped out into the inner hub of Torchwood.
They looked around and couldn't see anyone, then heard voices from the autopsy bay.
The Doctor walked in the room, not looking at what was in front of him and spoke.
"All right, Jack, what was so damned important that you had my own ship kidnap us and bring us here?" he said angrily.
"Because Martha asked him," said Ianto, standing up and striding over to where the Doctor and Rose stood.
"And I'd appreciate it if you didn't shout. In case you haven't noticed, Martha is laying on the table dying. She asked to see you before she passed, though God knows why. Jack tried to tell you but you wouldn't listen. We had no choice but to ask the TARDIS to get you here because you sure as hell weren't going to come on your own, were you, you self centred arrogant pig!" ranted Ianto.
When he'd finished ranting at the Doctor he took a deep breath and went back to Jack and Martha.
"Do you feel better now, baby?" asked Jack, slipping his arm round Ianto's waist.
"Doctor," Martha said weakly.
"I'm here," he said and crossed the room to Martha's side. He took her hand in his.
"What happened?" he asked gently, looking at Owen.
"Jack will explain later. Martha wanted you here before she died," said Owen.
"'Died'? Don't be silly. Help me get her into the TARDIS; I can get her somewhere where they can save her," he said.
"No, Doctor, I've had enough," said Martha, squeezing his hand.
"But..."
She shook her head.

Tosh sped through the streets back to the Hub. She needed to say goodbye to Martha. The SUV had barely stopped moving before she was out and slammed the door. She ran down the stairs to the Hub and into the autopsy room.
Tosh ran down the stairs to Martha's side, not even noticing the Doctor and Rose.
Jack and Ianto moved to one side slightly so Tosh could see her friend.
"Martha, I'm here," she said, taking her hand.
Martha smiled as Tosh squeezed her hand. "Look after my baby, Jack," she said and slowly turned her head to the Doctor. "Thank you for everything," she said and her eyes closed.
The heart monitor sounded a long alarm.
As the tears rolled down Tosh's cheeks, Owen stepped to her side. "Come on, baby," he said and led her away.
Jack and Ianto leant over Martha's body and they both kissed her cheeks. Ianto led Jack away, leaving the Doctor to say his goodbyes.
He stood for a few minutes just staring at Martha's body. The tears falling, this was the worst part of being a Time Lord. Having to say goodbye to friends. Rose stepped up to him.
"Come on, Theta," she said gently.
The Doctor nodded, he kissed Martha on the cheek and allowed Rose to lead him away from her.
