A/N: Thank you for reviews of Chapter 1! And sorry about the spacing in Chapter 1, I have edited it now so it should be less confuzzling! AU, Not Beta's, reviews appreciated. Third part may be up later today if your lucky! Oh and sorry about the Welsh...if it's wrong please tell me!


Toshiko Sato smiled. She was on her way to a job she loved, with friends she adored, she was meeting her girlfriend after work and it was Friday. Life was good. She walked into the hub through the tourist office and was greeted by a sunny Ianto.

"Good morning beautiful Toshiko, here I made you a coffee" and he handed her a large mug of perfect, steaming coffee.

She took a sip; it wasn't too hot but warm enough. She closed her eyes and let out a smooth guttural moan.

"Oh God Ianto, have I ever told you how much I love you?"

Ianto smiled appreciatively, "Every morning".

"Mmm," Tosh replied, taking another sip, "Well I do. And the woman you end up with will be very lucky." Quickly realising her mistake, she corrected herself. "Or man, of course", and to hide her blushing face she ran quickly into the Hub.

As usual, Owen and Gwen still hadn't arrived so she went up to her boss' office, to get today's briefing. When she reached Jack's office she politely knocked on the door. She heard a "come in" grunt.

"Well hello, Miss Toshiko"

"Good morning Jack." As usual Jack was wearing his classic combination of blue/green shirt, red/blue braces (both blue this particular day) and his blue trousers. He was gorgeous, but sadly not her type. Anyway she had Jenni now.

"Umm, I'm going to have a meeting today Tosh, so don't worry about getting your work, I'll give it to you then. Just sit and drink Ianto's heavenly coffee." He took a gulp from his own mug and mmm'd in appreciation before winking at Tosh and holding the door open for her. She smiled politely back up at him.

As she made her way to her desk she saw Gwen and Owen enter the Hub, the door rolling shut behind them. They had their arms around one another's waist and they were laughing and joking happily together. Once upon a time Tosh fancied the pants off Owen, but she had found something better and apparently so had he. At least everyone was happy. That made her smile even bigger. The Hub was all loved up; Jack and Ianto, Owen and Gwen and herself and Jenni. She sat down at her workstation to finish her amazing coffee; waiting for Jack to announce today's meeting.


Gwen was so happy it was unbelievable. She was sitting in the boardroom with her fellow colleagues discussing the days work. She was sitting next to Owen on Jack's left, and opposite Toshiko who was sitting next to Ianto on Jack's right. Gwen wasn't really listening to Jack, especially not after she felt Owens hand creep up her skirt and along her thigh. He was now rubbing her leg, gently but lustfully, and ever so slightly inching further and further up each time. Lucky she had tights on, she thought. She could hardly keep her mouth shut let alone keep concentrated on Jack (as handsome as he was). She'd been living with Owen for 4 months and she was still enjoying every minute of it. Sure they had their arguments like every other couple, but when they made up they had the best sex. So it was always worth it.

"Gwen? Gwen?! GWEN!" she felt herself being shaken.

She opened her eyes and looked around quickly. Jack was staring at her with a mock angry face, Ianto and Toshiko were giggling and Owen was laughing his head off. She lightly slapped him on the shoulder. He stopped laughing and looked at her lovingly. It was one of the sweetest faces she had ever seen, if she didn't know it then she did now, Owen loved her. She smiled at this and apologised to Jack for daydreaming. She was looking forward to that evening; Owen was taking her out for a meal to one of the most expensive restaurants in Cardiff, overlooking the bay, with beautiful views.


Tosh was looking in the mirror for the final time. She was wearing a short, red cocktail dress, with a v neck which accented her bosom perfectly. She had applied a nice amount of make-up and had done her hair especially. She was looking forward to Jenni seeing her new dress, but she was also looking forward to seeing it on her bedroom floor at about 11pm.
Jack nuzzled his mouth into the soft shoulder blade of his lover. He gently nibbled upwards until he met his neck; he bit a little harder, to leave a mark, he heard a quiet moan and grinned. Smiling cheekily he withdrew his mouth only to feel another pair of lips on his. He kissed back passionately moving his hands onto a muscular chest and downwards, to rest on his lovers hips. He felt a pair of warm hands grab his bum, back and neck frantically, wanting to touch any skin he could. Slowly they prised apart and Jack looked at his lover in the face, his torso moving slowly up and down with his heavy breathing. He saw the most beautiful eyes ever and couldn't help but smile. "I love you Yan" he said.

"I love you too Jack" Ianto said, with those beautiful Welsh vowels of his.


Owen was in the bathroom, pacing up and down, becoming very nervous. He was sure everything would go according to plan, but…. No, he shouldn't think about that. Everything will be OK, he thought repeatedly. He put some aftershave on his hands and dabbed it to his face. Handsome as ever. He just had to put his clothes on. Should he wear a tux? Or a smart shirt and jeans? Hmmm. Oh I'll ask Gwen, he thought as he wandered into the bedroom.
Ianto lay on Jack's bed, contended and blissfully happy. He turned his head and looked at Jack, who infact was staring at him. They both giggled playfully. Ianto guessed that Jack had never committed to anyone this much. In fact before Jack left, he had never said "I love you" to Ianto, and now he had, many times. But Ianto still wasn't sure if he could fully trust Jack. He hadn't really told him the full story of why and where he went and he knew nothing of Jack's past. But for now he was happy with great sex, snuggles, affection and "I love yous".
Gwen stepped out of the lift into the foyer of her posh block of flats and swung the door open that led into the car park. She saw Owen, dressed handsomely in a black tux with a matching jacket casually slung over his right shoulder and he wolf whistled at her. She was wearing a knee-length black plunge dress, she'd recently had a spray tan and she looked a gorgeous golden brown colour. She was wearing a diamond necklace and bracelet, both bought for her by Owen, and silver strappy heels that clicked on the ground as she walked forward sexily. As it was a chilly December night, she had a black sequined wrap thrown around her arms, her mid-length deep brown hair tumbling, lightly curled, on her shoulders. She sauntered over to Owen, who stood up from leaning on his flashy blue sports car and they had a kiss before he opened the door for her and the sped away to the restaurant.
Gwen and Owen had the best table in the restaurant. It was right by the large window so had excellent views of Cardiff and the bay. A single rose in a vase stood in the middle of the table next to a gently flickering candle. A string quartet was playing romantic music lightly in the background. They had their hands lying on top of one another's on the table and they were both smiling.

Owen cleared his throat. "Um Gwen, I know we've hardly been dating long but these past 5 or 6 months have been amazing. And I have known you for a year now and, well, I decided I can't live without you. You're the most beautiful, intelligent, loving, caring, hard-working, passionate and brilliant woman I have ever met. And, I'm having such a good time and I know it's the real thing, so, um Gwen" she looked abashed as he paused, and got on one knee and produced a ring box from his inside jacket pocket. "Gwen Cooper, will you marry me?"

"Of course I will! She shrieked in reply as she flung her arms around him crying. They both stood up and kissed and the whole restaurant whooped.

At that moment another man just sitting down at a table stopped in his tracks. His name was Rhys and he just saw his ex-girlfriend get engaged. And he still loved her. Shit. Rhys hid his face behind a menu as a beautiful Gwen walked past hand in hand with her new boyfriend. Fiancée, he corrected himself. They looked every bit gorgeous together, completely head over heels in love and the whole restaurant, probably most of Cardiff, knew it. Just as he thought he was safe from having to talk to her, his mother, whom he was having dinner with, came out of the restaurant's bathroom and spotted Gwen.

"Gwennie? Darling!" she called out. Gwen spun on her heel and Owen followed her gaze. Crap, bloody crap, thought Rhys.

"Lynne? Hello! How're you?" Gwen replied hugging her ex-boyfriends mother.

"I'm good, thanks." She spotted Owen on her arm. "And who's this you have with you?"

"Umm this is, my, um, fiancée Doctor Owen Harper." Owen extended his hand and shook Lynne's. "Owen this is Lynne, um, Rhys' mother."

"Nice to meet you" said Owen with a smile.

Gwen felt a bit awkward to say the least. "Well we must be off" she urged.

Lynne smiled in recognition, and sat down on a table next to her. As Gwen left the restaurant, flustered but exceptionally overjoyed, she offered a smile to Rhys, who pretended not to notice her. After that she completely forgot about him, revelling in the joy of her proposal.

The rest of Gwen and Owen's weekend was spent having sex, drinking champagne and celebrating their engagement.


On Monday Gwen and Owen said they had an announcement to make, so Jack gathered everyone in the boardroom. He sat next to Ianto, opposite Tosh, with Gwen and Owen standing at the front, arm in arm.

"We're getting married!" they both squealed at the same time.

"Owen proposed to me on Friday" Gwen said, in a way of explanation.

Lots of hugs and a description of how Owen proposed followed. Jack looked at Ianto, grinning his usual cheeky grin and winked at him. Ianto arched an eyebrow back at him before turning his attention to Gwen's huge diamond ring. Jack giggled to himself. He'd love that to be him and Ianto in a year or so. That was a big commitment for him, he thought. He was definitely going to tell Ianto how he felt, see what he thought. And maybe have lots of yummy sex in the process. Mmmm.


Gwen was so excited. She was about to tell her mum she was getting married. Oh. My. God. She was getting married! She and Owen were on their way to her parents' house in Penarth, just outside Cardiff. It would be the first time her parents had met Owen, and he was nervous. But she was sure that they would love him. He was a doctor after all. They nervously knocked on the door. Gwen could hear feet slowly plodding towards the door, before it was pulled open by her own mother. She felt her mother's arms engulf her.

"Gwen! Darling! Fel ach? O dduw fi ve fethedig 'ch baban bachgennes!" (Gwen! Darling! How are you? Oh god I've missed you!)

"Fi m ddirwya fi ve fethedig 'ch hefyd! Allwn areithia Saesneg?" (I'm fine mum, I've missed you too. Can we speak in English please?)

"Yes, Ok love. Ah I see you've brought someone with you. So introduce me"

Gwen stepped aside and Owen moved forward and extended his hand. "This is Doctor Owen Harper mum. He's my fiancé."

Gwen's mum looked baffled. "Fiancé, eh? Well congratulations!"

She gathered Owen up in her arms and hugged him a little too tightly. Then they got ushered inside and were plonked on the sofa with a cup of tea and a scone before they knew it. It seemed that Gwen's mum and dad were impressed with Owen, smothering him with hugs and kisses all day, and when they left, they were feeling much more relaxed. They were in the car, on the way back to Cardiff, discussing the wedding.

"I think we should set a date, honey bun. So we know what we're aiming for. I mean, I don't want to rush it, but I don't want to be engaged forever." said Owen, pulling into the next lane.

"Yeah, that's a good idea" Gwen smiled in return. "How about March sometime?"

"March it is! I'll ring round the churches and see what dates they have and we can decide from there."

Owen looked over at Gwen. This time 2 years ago he had been at Torchwood 6 months and would have laughed if he had been told he would be settling down anytime in the near future. But he was incredibly happy. After all, a whole lot of shit can happen in 2 years. Suzie….Diane….Tosh….getting shot…getting fired….nearly getting eaten by cannibals….finding random things that fell through the rift…but the best thing this year; Gwen.


The proper date was finally set; March 6th. Gwen had bought loads of wedding magazines, the church was booked and invitations were sent out. Before they realised it, Christmas and New Year were over and it was already February. Gwen woke up and Owen came in with breakfast in bed.

"You're a sweetheart. What's all this for?" She asked him.

"One month until we get married and everything is sorted. I've never been this prepared in my life!" Owen replied excitedly, putting the tray down on the bedside table.

"Aww bless!"

"Don't you Aww bless me, Gwen Cooper!" he said before jumping on her and tickling her.

"I surrender, I surrender!" Gwen said between laughs, batting her fiancée away lightly. "And it's going to be Gwen Harper soon!" They both smiled at each other, with love. With true love.


The wedding day came around quicker than expected. Gwen was at Toshiko's flat; she had kindly lent it to her so she could get ready in it, whilst Owen had their flat.

"Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod!" babbled Gwen, almost incoherently.

"It's OK Gwennie" said Gwen's oldest friend and bridesmaid, Vicki.

"Yeah, you'll be fine" reassured Tosh, giving Gwen a hug.

"Thanks guys, you're both so great, and you too mum" Gwen's mum smiled. "I'm just so excited and nervous at the same time, I mean I love Owen, but, OH SHIT! I haven't even done my hair yet!!"

All four girls scrabbled around doing their own, and each others, hair. Finally an hour later, they were all ready. Gwen stepped out of the bedroom in a long flowing gown. It was strapless and almost corset-like at the top. It had delicately embroided beads in swirl shapes on the top, corset part of the dress. At the hips it puffed out; long white material flowing everywhere. On her feet, just visible, were a pair of white high heels that made Gwen's recently pedicured feet look radiant. Her hair was done up in a bun on the top of her head with just two curly lengths floating outside the bun. She had a beautiful diamante studded tiara resting on her hair which matched her diamante earrings, bracelet and necklace. Gwen looked breathtaking.

She smiled nervously. "Do I look OK?"

"Ok? Ok? You look fucking fantastic!" screamed Vicki.

Toshiko and Gwen's mum were too stunned to say anything so they just nodded and gave Gwen a hug. The 3 bridesmaids wore plain white v neck dresses with white pumps, and each held a bouquet of white roses. They heard a beeping outside and they looked out the window and screamed in delight. Gwen's car had arrived. It was an old fashioned type car; it was sleek and almost as big as a limousine. Her dad was standing outside waving with a huge grin on his face. He was standing next to the chauffer, who looked smart in a suit with a hat. The four women rushed downstairs and piled in the car. Gwen was so happy.


Owen was pacing the front of the church. He was getting nervous and started agitatedly glancing at his watch. He had his brother, Rich, as best man, standing best beside him.

"Rich, you got the rings mate?" he asked aggressively.

"For the hundredth time, Owen, Yes!" laughed Rich, patting his brother on the back.

"Yeah, sorry, just, y'know…" Rich nodded along with Owens statement.

Owen turned and saw Jack and Ianto in the front row, chatting away, smiling like, well like proud parents, is what popped into Owen's head. He giggled a little at this. He went over to them and smiled.

"You Ok?" asked Jack, turning away from Ianto.

"Yeah I'm fine, just a little nervous. But excited too"

Before anyone could say anything else the organ music started playing the wedding march and the bridesmaids moved down the aisle.

Owen took his position, as did everyone else. When Gwen came through the large oak double doors, with her dad, everyone stopped, stunned and gasping at her beauty. She wore a huge smile on her face and Owen did too when he saw her. When she approached him her took her hand and gave it a squeeze. They both giggled playfully and the guests sat down.

"Dearly beloved" began the Vicar, "We are gathered together here in the sign of God – and in the face of this company – to join together Dr Owen James Harper and Gwen Marion Cooper in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore – is not by any – to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly – but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace." The vicar smiled and looked around before continuing. "Marriage is the union…"

Suddenly the doors flung open and everyone turned round in horror. Jack stood up, hand ready to whip out his gun if needed.

"I fucking object!" Shouted the stranger from the back of the church, a huge gasp was let out from the guests and the vicar looked as if he was about to faint.

Owen stormed halfway towards the man. "What the?" he shouted.

The man stumbled forward a little further, he was clearly drunk. Not just obvious from the slurring of his words, his stumbling all over the place and the vodka bottle in his hand but the sheer smell of alcohol that emitted from him. As he came into the light, Gwen recognised who he was.

"Oh my god."

"Yesh it'sh me honeyyy! Fanks for the invite by the way, mushth have got losht in the posht I eggpext!"

"Rhys! What? Oh no…" and then Gwen fainted.
