Jacques, Gray and the children made it to a small clearing where the other survivors of the village had gathered. The once growing population was now a third of its size. Children ran to parents, aunts or uncles and in a few cases grandparents as the people celebrated that the children were alive. Around him he could hear babies crying and saw one woman he didn't know to well tending an infant with a bandage on its arm. He looked around eagerly for his wife though, finally spotting her with the others who required treatment.
"Oh sweetheart," Jacques whispered as he saw the large bandage that covered most of her right arm and across her shoulder. Her hair was shorter then when he had left her the morning before to head to work. She was sleeping but Jacques wasn't sure if it was a drug induced sleep or if she had fallen asleep on her own.
"What happened to mommy?" James asked. Jacques looked at his three surviving children. He didn't have an answer for them, just like he didn't have an answer for where Emma was. He planned to find out though.
"I don't know but I want you three boys to brave for me and help take care of mommy while I go and find Emma with Gray. Can you do that for me?" Jacques asked them.
"Don't leave," Seth begged, wrapping himself around his father's leg.
"I have to find Emma. One way or another I am going to bring her home. I just need you to be brave a little while longer," Jacques informed him. He leaned down and kissed each of his children on the head in turn. He then kissed his wife, hoping that he would have good news for her when she awoke. Standing straight once more he turned to find Gray. He didn't have to look hard though as Gray was watching them from a short distance away.
"Ready?" Gray asked as he came closer.
"Yes," Jacques answered. Moving quicker with just the two of them, they headed back towards the fires.

Jack stood frozen between the two men not sure if this was what the Doctor really wanted. Of course his mind reeled at the possibility of bedding the Doctor but he was reluctant to believe the Doctor wanted him. He couldn't wait until everything was said and done with the outlaw to find out for sure. Leaning in he wrapped his arms around the Doctor and pressed his lips to his. He was happy when the Doctor immediately returned the kiss. His lips were cool and he still tasted of the tea that he drank before, but Jack expected nothing less.
"Bedroom?" The Master asked as he watched the two of them kiss.
"Yes," Jack moaned around the Doctor's lips. He broke the kiss leaning back so that he could look into the Doctor's eyes. He could see hesitation in them even as the Doctor turned and started to head to the corridor. Jack grabbed his hand turning him around. "You don't have to do this."
"I want to," The Doctor answered. He tugged Jack's hand pulling him with him as they headed into the corridor. He wasn't quite sure where they were going but just like on his TARDIS, a large door was waiting at the end of the hall slightly open. He headed to it. Pushing it open revealed a simple room with a large bed in the middle of it perfect for the three of them. The Master closed the door behind them and the Doctor's eyes grew wide as Jack began to undo the buttons on his jacket.
"We won't let you fall," The Master reassured the Doctor, as he approached the two of them. "Neither one of us has to be alone anymore. Jack, you and me have been running all of our lives, perhaps it is time we stop and settle down for a while." The Doctor looked at the Master as Jack continued to undress him. The Master was undressing himself as he spoke.
"We still have to stop the outlaw and return Emma to her father," The Doctor informed him.
"Of course, but then you two are welcome to stay in my home for as long as you want," The Master said. The Doctor smiled. He leaned over Jack's shoulder to kiss the Master on the lips. From there he wasn't sure how he ended up on the bed with the Master sitting cross-legged behind him. He was laying flat on his back with his head rested in the Master's lap and both of his hands gripping the Master's loosely. Jack knelt between his legs and his grip tightened as Jack dipped his head lower.
"Oh Jack," The Doctor moaned. He closed his eyes, arching his back slightly. What Jack could do with his mouth felt so amazing that he actually whimpered when Jack released him. His whimper quickly turned into a moan though as Jack finally pushed his way into his body. He felt the Master's stomach against his head as Jack leaned forward to kiss the Time Lord as he moved with the Doctor. This was nothing like Jack ever pictured when he thought of sleeping with the Doctor. Still he wouldn't change anything about the moment, not even having the Master in the room with them.
"You're beautiful," The Master cooed to the Doctor as he watched him move with Jack. The Doctor arched again, whimpering Jack's name as he found his release, a moment later Jack followed him over the edge. Jack fell forward, wrapping himself around the Doctor, kissing him as he rolled them so the Doctor was laying on top of him as the Master released the Doctor's hands. The Doctor looked sleepy at first but then his eyes grew wide as the Master moved behind him. He whimpered, holding Jack tightly as his body rocked against Jacks. He wasn't surprised when the Master didn't last long before he collapsed down beside them.
"I can't keep up with you two," The Doctor mumbled as he relaxed onto Jack's chest once more. He had slept all night but he was feeling drowsy again. The Master smiled, gently stroking a hair back from the Doctor's face.
"Sleep now, we will deal with the outlaw when you awaken," The Master reassured him. He sat up to move the blankets and Jack looked at him.
"Aren't you staying?" Jack wondered.
"Of course, I am just covering us up," The Master answered. He pulled the blanket up and over the all ready sleeping Doctor. Kissing Jack softly, he cuddled into the two of them and closed his eyes to rest as well. Jack was the last one awake as usual, but he had finally found bliss between the Time Lord draped across his chest and the one sleeping soundly beside him.
