Gwen's eyes widened and she sat up quickly. She almost fell as she jumped off the bed and ran past Tosh. Tosh quickly followed, grabbing her car keys on the way.

When they reached the hospital, Gwen flew out of the car. Jack was waiting for them in the main reception.

"Where is he? Jack, where's Owen?" She demanded. Jack took her down the corridors to a private room. Ianto was waiting outside. He held the door open for her and she ran in. They both stayed outside to give them privacy. "Owen?"

He lay in the bed with his head propped up on a pillow. He was bandaged from head to foot. His eyes opened when he heard Gwen's voice.

"Gwen?" He whispered.

She ran to the side of the bed and grabbed his hand.

"I'm here…I'm here. Oh God, Owen you're alive." She answered, tears streaming down her face.

Owen slowly turned his head so he could see her properly. He smiled drowsily at her and rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb. He noticed the ring on her finger and ran his thumb over it.

"You're wearing it." He smiled.

Gwen nodded. She found it hard to speak as tears of happiness choked her. Swallowing her tears, she smiled at him.

"Yeah…" She smiled. "What happened Owen? How did you end up like this?"

"We thought we'd lost the Weevil. Ianto told Jack we'd lost it so he told us to leave it. He asked Ianto to go and help him with the Weevil he was chasing so Ianto left while I stayed, I wasn't about to give up. The bastard thing jumped on me from behind. Ianto got back in time and managed to fight it off before it managed to…finish me off. It gets a little fuzzy after that. I just remember Jack appearing and then you…you were there." He explained.

"Oh God Owen." Gwen gasped.

"It's ok Gwen, I'm fine. Well…I'm still alive." He laughed.

Gwen shook her head at him and smiled. Trust Owen to make jokes at a time like this.

"Owen…there's something I have to tell you…" She said.

"What?" He asked. He didn't miss Gwen's free hand rubbing her stomach and his eyes widened. "You're…"

Gwen nodded.

"I'm pregnant. Three weeks." She told him.

Owen used what strength he had to try and pull Gwen onto the bed. She understood what he wanted and sat on the edge. Gwen kept her hand on her stomach and Owen placed his hand on top of hers.

"I'm going to be a dad." Owen whispered. It was a statement rather than a question. Gwen nodded again. "That is bloody brilliant."

She leant down and captured his lips in a kiss.

They heard Jack, Ianto and Tosh enter the room. Gwen looked up at them and smiled. Jack and Ianto frowned at the position of Owen and Gwen's hands. Tosh smiled at them.

"Are we missing something?" Jack asked.

"I'm going to be a dad." Owen repeated.

The two men looked stunned for a second before huge smiles broke out on each of their faces.

A doctor entered the room to check on Owen.

"It's time for some more painkillers I think." He said when he noticed Owen wincing as he turned his head. The doctor gave him the painkillers and turned to Gwen. "I take it you're his partner?"

"Yes, I am." She smiled looking down at Owen.

"He was in a pretty bad state when he was brought in. He's had to have a couple of blood transfusions and a lot of stitches. I'm afraid we'll have to keep him in for a few weeks for observation." He told Gwen. Gwen nodded, never taking her eyes off Owen. His eyes began to close again. "They'll knock him out for a couple of hours."

The doctor left the room.

"You lot can go now if you want. I'll stay with Owen." She whispered, stroking his forehead.

"Are you sure? Someone can stay with you if you want to get some sleep." Jack said.

"No, we'll be fine. Honestly go." She insisted.

"Ok. See you soon." Jack sighed.

Ianto and Tosh followed Jack out of the room. Gwen took one last look at Owen before jumping off the bed and running after Jack.

"Jack." She called.

He turned and walked back over to her.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Just because Owen's alive, it doesn't mean I can forgive you. You did this to him." She said.

"Gwen, I am so sorry. You have no idea how guilty I feel. Ianto feels guilty too, he feels so bad about leaving Owen on his own." Jack explained.

"I forgive Ianto. If it wasn't for him, Owen would be dead. But you…you asked Ianto to leave it and help you instead. You left Owen on his own with that…thing." Gwen said angrily.

"I didn't think he was in danger." Jack argued.

"No Jack, you just didn't think." She spat.

She turned on her heel and went back into Owen's room. Jack turned away sadly and made his way back to Tosh and Ianto.

Gwen sat down on the chair next to Owen's bed and watched him sleep. She thought of how close she'd come to losing him and felt the tears burning her eyes. Wiping the tears from her eyes, she tried her hardest to stop herself from crying. Owen was alive, there was no point thinking about what could have happened. She reached across for his hand and held it in hers.

She must have fallen asleep because the next thing she knew, her head was resting on the bed. Her neck ached from sleeping in a funny position. As she sat up and rubbed the back of her neck, she noticed Owen was awake and watching her.

"You can go home if you want. I don't mind." He told her.

"I don't want to leave you." She protested, shaking her head to wake herself up.

"I'll be fine. Go home Gwen." Owen said firmly.

She knew she wouldn't win the argument so she sighed and stood up. She squeezed his hand and captured his lips in a gentle kiss.

"I love you and I'll be back in the morning." She whispered.

"I love you too." He smiled.

Gwen reluctantly left the hospital. When she stood outside, she realised she had no way of getting home. In her haste to get to Owen, she'd left her phone at Tosh's. She sighed and began to walk. She decided to go to Tosh's to pick up her phone, plus she wasn't ready to face an empty flat just yet.

Tosh was surprised to see Gwen, thinking she would have wanted to stay with Owen.

"Owen wanted me to go home but I don't want to go back just yet." She explained as she saw the surprise on Tosh's face.

Tosh nodded as she understood.

"So, how is he?" Tosh asked.

"He's fine. I'm so glad Ianto was there to get that Weevil off him. I don't know what I would've done." She sighed absent-mindedly rubbing her stomach.

Tosh smiled sadly at her.

"Jack feels really bad Gwen. He blames himself for all this. He kept saying that he should've known better than to have left Owen on his own with a Weevil on the loose." Tosh explained.

"Well he should have, Tosh. If it wasn't for him, Owen wouldn't be in this state. He could've been killed Tosh." She argued.

"I know but…don't be too harsh on him. He's taken this just as bad as you have. He's seen so many team members killed and injured and it gets worse for him every time." Tosh told her.

Gwen looked away. She had a point. It must be so hard for Jack, putting his team mates at risk knowing that he would walk away unscathed while they had to suffer. Gwen nodded at Tosh.

Noticing the time, she realised she'd have to go home.

"I'd better go. Tosh, did I leave my phone here?" She asked.

"Yeah I put it on top of the fridge for you." Tosh smiled.

"Thanks. I'll see you soon. I'll get your clothes back to you as soon as I can. Tell Jack, I'll be at the hospital if he needs me. I'm not going to work while Owen's in hospital." Gwen told her.

Tosh nodded as Gwen left.

Gwen had to walk to the Hub to retrieve her car and she hoped she didn't bump into Jack. She noticed Ianto's car still in the car park. He must be with Jack still. She suddenly felt really guilty for what she'd said to Jack, it wasn't his fault really. She debated with herself on whether to go and see him or not. Deciding to leave it, she climbed into her car and drove back to the flat.

It seemed huge and empty without Owen.

After she'd changed into her pyjamas, she shoved Tosh's clothes into the washing machine. Climbing into bed, she stroked Owen's pillow and fell asleep thinking of him.
