Last Chapter thanks for all the reviews. I've managed to finish it before Easter, I've surprised myself. Hope you liked it.

Chapter 13

Gwen regained consciousness and was met by the cacophony of noise as people where trying to find out what had happened. Gwen too wondered what she had missed. Jack helped her up as Owen rushed over to Toshiko who was just coming around.

"I swear I didn't know it was the Star of what-not," he said.

"Don't worry it seems to have saved the day," she said as Owen helped her up.

Jack and Owen went and opened the doors.

"Merry Christmas," Jack said to the people as they left.

"Are you sure you should just be letting them go like that?" Owen asked.

"Well have you got enough retcon for everyone?"

"Well no."

"Any good at hypnotism?"

"No."

"Luckily our friend was. These people don't remember what happened."

"But the angels…"

"So some people see angels, its nothing to worry about, it is Christmas." Jack said as they headed back into the hall.

"What bout Gwyneth?"

"We will need to retcon her."

"Is it really necessary?" Gwen asked.

"You know it is. She can't remember this."

"But…"

"She can't. More than ever she needs to forget."

"You know it's for the best," Ianto said softly.

Gwen reluctantly agreed.

Owen knocked on the door of the funeral parlour. Mr Sneed opened the door.

"I'm a doctor I've come to see Gwyneth," Owen said.

"Oh good, she's not been herself. I sent her straight to bed. She's been coming up with a very fanciful story."

Mr Sneed led Owen up the stairs and knocked on Gwyneth's door.

"Gwyneth, my dear there's a doctor here to see you."

They went into her small room, she was already in bed.

"I hope you can help her," Sneed said.

"He was there, he can tell you," she said.

"Yes of course I was," Owen said with a humouring tone. "I think she'll calm down better if you leave Mr Sneed."

"Very well," he said leaving.

"He would never believe what we've seen," Owen said once they were alone.

"It's an everyday occurrence for you, isn't it sir?"

"Unfortunately. I've got something to make you feel better," Owen said taking out a pill and handing Gwyneth the glass of water from her bedside table. "It'll take away the nightmares."

Gwyneth took the pill and Owen quickly took the glass away again as she slumped into the bed unconscious.

"Merry Christmas Gwyneth," he said as he put the glass back and turned the gas lamp off as he left.

The others where standing across the road when the saw the light in Gwyneth's room at the top of the building go out.

"It's done," Ianto said.

"Poor girl," said Gwen.

"It had to be done," Jack said.

"You've still never told me why she's so important."

"And I'm not going to."

"I can always look it up."

"I'd rather you didn't."

"Chances are she's a relative."

"Gwen, I'm asking you not to look."

Owen joined them and they headed back to the house.

"You know she will," Ianto said to Toshiko who nodded sagely.

"Only a few hours before we can return home," Toshiko said as they arrived back at the house.

"Time for some shuteye first," Jack said.

They wished each other a Merry Christmas before going off to bed.

The snow seemed brighter as the headed back the following morning.

"Well that was certainly an eventful Christmas," Gwen said.

"Which would you rather," Jack said "Brenda or an alien?"

"An alien any day," Gwen said with a laugh as they cross back into their own time.

"Oh," Toshiko said looking at her PDA, "That's interesting."

"What is it?"

"We seem to have arrived back exactly when we left."

"So you mean the past two days never happened?" Owen asked.

"And we haven't missed Christmas," Ianto added.

"Exactly."

"But…" Gwen said "That means I've still got to have Christmas with the in-laws."

The others laughed.
