Come Back

The note said, "Come back. She needs you. - Rhys". Making some calculations, Captain Jack wasn't sure if the baby was still due. Was it three months already? With his heart in his throat he scrambled to make connections, stowing away when he had to.

No clue what the date was, he knocked on their door. Rhys answered and surprisingly hugged him. The baby's room was dim, quiet. She stood holding a bundle. Oh, god, he thought, don't let it be dead.

"Her name is Anwen." She placed the baby in Jack's arms.

Choking tears of relief. "She's beautiful, Gwen!"
