"I often wish I could tell you that your gonna have a normal life and you'll always be safe, but then I'd be lying. But the one thing that will always be true is that you'll always be loved, no matter what. And I wont always be there, but your Daddy will, even if he dissapears one day, he will always be there somewhere, dont you worry. Even if he is billions of miles away, he will be alive, thinking of you. You have a amazing family though sweetheart, who will always care for you. You have your Auntie Tosh, who will teach you all the different parts of computers and your Auntie Martha and Uncle Owen, who are Doctors, they will show you how to save lives and show you different medicines, Uncle Ianto who makes the best coffee in the whole of South Wales, and he is a hero, he was a outcast of us at first, but then he saved us many times and we realised, he was such a important part of us, and we wouldnt be without him. You have your two cousins, your bestfriends, Maxwell and Tyler - they are a bit older than you, but they are always gonna understand you and love you like the rest of us. Then there's Rory and Amy. They understand what I had to go through, but you dont need to know about that. Your Uncle Doctor, he's saved us all so many times, and I trust him so much, he is a very old friend of most of us, and he will show your the whole of space and time. He is an alien, but dont worry! Maybe one day, you'll get to save the world with him like the rest of us did. And most importantly, your Auntie River. Her real name is Melody but she has always been called River since we all met her. Your named after her. Rivaella. River. Rivaella. She saved my life, when I was having you. She saved your life too really. She is powerful, confident and beautiful, she isnt scared of the monsters, and neither should you."
Jack smiled over my shoulder, looking down at Rivaella. We were sat on the sofa together whilst Tosh was creating her birth certificate, The Doctor was looking at all of our alien artifacts we had got through the rift, River had taken Ianto and Martha to go pick up Amy, Rory and the twins whilst Owen had popped out to the chinese, it was gonna be another late one. Thinking about it, we hadnt done hardly any normal work in about a month. But looking at the readings, nothing had been coming through, The Doctor said that was most probably because Rose was plotting her way across which stopped stuff coming through. Shit. I had forgotten about Rose.
"Jack?"
"Mmm?" He answered, smiling at Rivaella.
"What are we gonna do about Rose?"
He sighed. "Well like you said, think the baby had something to do with her coming over. I'm not 100% sure, but if we can find out what was going on, then maybe we can sort this out."
I cleared my throat before looking worriedly at him. "Erm, I didnt say that?"
"Yes, you did? The letter?" He reached over to the table, picked and a letter that was slightly screwed up and handed it to me. I slowly read it.
This is pretty serious, thought you'd better check it out... It read on the front.
If anyone is reading this, I need you to help. This is a message for The Cardiff Bay Tourist Center. This is extremely important, emergency protocol 0, Torchwood clearance 3-9-2-7. I need you to contact and show this message to any of the following:

CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS
TARDIS coordinates 3 to the power of 5 apple slash delta with a joke about a monkey. You have to get in and get out asap. Oh and I'm sorry. She's in labour.
"This is how you knew where to find me?" I spluttered. "I- but I didnt write this? I said about contacting the tourist office and the Torchwood clearance code and all your names but I said if anyone can HEAR this. I was shouting it at my doctor... He must of wrote it down and sent it here. He seemed so nice and sympathetic. Oh what a brilliant man." I whispered. "Why would she want Rivaella? She's trying to get The Doctor, not you? And why did I get taken, and why was I taken? Does it have anything to do with Rose? Oh my god too many questions!"
I started shaking my head with fret as Rivaella started crying.
"Hey come to Daddy!" said Jack, beaming taking Rivaella out of my arms, rocking her side to side as she eventually quietened down.
"I'm just going to the loo."
"Ok babe." He mumered, too interested in his newborn daughter.
I slipped downstairs into the vaults whilst everyone was busy, I slowly made my way to the vault at the end.
Fuck.
I clicked my com.
"Tosh." I whispered. "Keep very calm and dont make a fuss, but there is only Janet in the vaults."
"JACK! OH MY GOD! JACK JACK!"
Brilliant Tosh. Fucking nice one.
I raced back upstairs to see The Doctor and Jack approaching her as Tosh was freaking out, checking the CCTV.
"Rose isnt in the vaults!"
They all turned to see me by the stairs. Tears ran down my face as I shook my head.
"Give her here." I said, guestering to Rivaella. "I am not letting her out of my sight." I said as Jack passed her to me. My poor little girl, not even a few hours old and already in danger. Jack pulled a arm round me and I snuggled into his chest, holding Rivaella close to mine. "What if the reason Rose is here is because of her? What does she want? Why does she want my baby?" I asked, breaking down in floods of tears.
The TARDIS materialized and we all turned around as Martha slowly walked out of The TARDIS, passing Tosh the twins. Ianto and River slowly followed, worried looks etched on their faces.
"Is everything ok?" The Doctor asked cautiously, watching his wife start to cry.
Rose stood in the doorway cockily, with River's gun in her hand.
"So kids, what's been happening?" She asked, winking at The Doctor. Tosh slowly took the twins out of their carrier, walking towards me and Jack and gave him Maxwell while she held Tyler. She squeezed up next to me. "Ah thanks Tosh. Keeping all the babies together yeah? God Torchwood used to be so feirce and dangerous, its a bloody kindergarten now!" She sighed. "Now down to business. Pass over The Doctor's baby." She said, pointing the gun at me. River and Jack's faces dropped. This baby was definitley Jack's, what was she on about?
"I beg your pardon? Jack's baby." I chocked.
"Cut the shit Gwen." She snapped. "According to our registers, it's The Doctor's baby."
"NO!" I shouted. "I love Jack, this is definitely his baby!"
"You know what?" Piped up River standing right in Rose's face. "Your doing my fucking head in. You walk in here, trying to take over everything, try to steal my husband, tell me that he is the father to my best friends child and threaten us all?" She shouted at her.
Rose pointed the gun at River's head. "Aw, you must love him! How about dying and leaving him on his own? Ooh then I can have him without any interuptions!" She grinned.
River smirked. "Huh. Sure ok, I'll just regenerate."
Rose dropped the gun to her side. "What?"
The Doctor stepped forward and linked his hand with River's. "She's a time lord." He said proudly.
Rose took a scanner out of her pocket and showed it to us all. "Look! It clearly says here that that baby is your daughter!"
"That's because Gwen was gonna give her up to The Doctor..." mumbled Owen.
