It was going to be finished by tomorrow Jack thought to himself, tomorrow he'd be... a... he sighed. Ianto would look after him, he knew that. He trusted Ianto, and Gwen he supposed. But what was he going to do if an alien threat appeared, how would he help them? He sighed as he continued to stare at the porthole he used to climb in and out of his den.

Jack and Ianto were still sitting on the sofa

"so. What are we going to do?" Gwen said wearily

"We will just have to take it day by day" Ianto rubbed his head

"How long do you think it will last?"

"It said on the label "until the person learns there lesson" what that means i have no idea"

"lesson.. what sort of lesson..."

"We'll just have to figure that out as we go"

They both stared at each other, longing for an answer but knowing that they wouldn't find the answer in each other.

Gwen had decided to go home and meet Jack and Ianto in the morning to give them a hand.

She just wanted to go home, she hadn't seen a lot of Rhys because of work, but she tried so hard to get every minute she could with him. He was so faithful to her. But she had to admit that things had been a lot easier now that Rhys knew where she worked and the different types of things she did. It was nice to finally to talk to someone about Torchwood and aliens and all the wonderful things that are out there.

"Evening me lovely! wasn't expecting you home tonight" His cheery smile always made Gwen smile no matter how bad the day.

"No, something came up, and you know what Jack's like about me staying till late"

"Oh lovely! i get to see my gorgeous wife tonight then!" he laughed

"What do you think about an early night" Gwen winked

"Sounds good" Gwen smiled

Rhys grabbed her in his arms and ran with her to the bedroom

"My man!" she said

Ianto lay beneath the clasp of Jack's arm His body was complex a drop of moisture trickled down his arm, Ianto just couldn't help staring at him, he was so perfect. How was he going to look after Jack? He would stand by him and try his best he thought. Jack shuddered under Ianto's soft touch

"Goodnight Jack" Ianto kissed his lover on the head and waited for the morning.
