Owen sat in the hospital canteen playing with the Styrofoam cup of coffee in his hand.

An hour passed before he felt a hand on his shoulder. Tosh smiled sadly at him as he looked up.

"They said you can see her now. She's in private room three." Tosh told him.

Owen threw himself out of the chair and ran down the corridor.

When he entered the room, a doctor was standing by Gwen's bed making sure she was ok. He rushed to her side and grabbed her hand. As he kissed her, she squeezed his hand. Owen noticed tears in her eyes when he pulled away.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"They've taken the baby. They won't let me see her." Gwen cried.

"We had to take her to intensive care, just to check she was ok. You can see her as soon as we've finished." The doctor told them.

"She?" Owen whispered.

"Yes, you have a beautiful baby girl." The doctor smiled.

"Let me see her." Gwen begged.

"They're just making sure she's ok. We can see her soon sweetheart, don't worry." Owen smiled at her.

He held her face in his hand and stroked her cheek with his thumb.

"She's alive." Gwen whispered.

"I'm so glad you're both ok. I don't know what I'd have done if I lost you. I love you Gwen Harper." Owen told her.

She pulled his face down to hers and kissed him passionately.

They both looked up as another nurse walked in carrying a small bundle of pink blankets. Gwen sat up straight and stared at the bundle as the nurse moved closer.

"She's absolutely fine." She smiled.

Gwen eagerly took the baby from the nurse and held her close to her chest. Owen sat down next to Gwen on her bed and placed his arm around her. They smiled down at the tiny baby girl, fast asleep in Gwen's arms. The doctors left the room quietly, leaving the three of them alone.

"We still need a name." Owen whispered.

"What about…Eve?" Gwen suggested.

"Eve…I like it." Owen nodded.

"How about Eve Marie?"

"Eve Marie…it's beautiful." Owen smiled.

"Eve Marie Harper." Gwen whispered and looked up into his eyes. Owen smiled at her and kissed the top of her head. "You do realise we're going to need a bigger flat, don't you?"

"Yeah, I suppose we do." He sighed. "But it's worth it."

He leant down and placed a gentle kiss on Eve's forehead. Gwen smiled at him and shifted to get closer to him. She winced at the movement. Owen looked at her, his eyes wide with concern.

"It's ok. I'm just a little sore that's all." She reassured him.

Owen watched her for a few more seconds before relaxing. She leant her head on his shoulder and gazed down at Eve. Tosh, Ianto and Jack entered the room. Their eyes fell on the three on the bed. Owen motioned for them to come closer.

"Everyone, this is Eve Marie Harper." He smiled.

As they crowded around the bed, Gwen moved the blanket that surrounded Eve's face so they could see her.

"She's beautiful." Tosh smiled.

"Congratulations." Ianto smiled.

"I told you they were going to be fine. Didn't I?" Jack said.

Owen looked up at him and nodded uncomfortably. Gwen squeezed his hand gently and smiled at him.

"I just can't believe she's really here. I keep expecting to wake up and it's all been a dream." Owen told them.

"I know it's just so…amazing." Gwen whispered.

"I think it's time we left. You can have as long as you need off work but if we have any emergencies, I'll call you." Jack told them.

Gwen rolled her eyes and smiled.

"How will you cope without us?" She laughed.

"I'm sure we'll manage." Jack smiled.

Gwen passed Eve to Owen and went to get off the bed. She winced and Owen held out his arm to stop her.

"Do you think that's wise?" He asked.

"I'm fine Owen. I'm perfectly capable of standing on my own two feet." She argued.

"Alright, but you really should be resting." He sighed.

She sighed and shook her head at him. Owen watched her closely as she swung her legs off the edge of the bed and slowly pushed herself up. She slowly made her way over to Jack and wrapped her arms around his waist. He hugged her tight and kissed the top of her head.

"Ouch, Jack. Not too tight." She winced.

"Sorry, you ok?" He asked, quickly letting her go.

"Yeah, just a little delicate at the minute." She answered.

"Congratulations." He smiled.

Jack patted Owen on the shoulder and stroked Eve's cheek with his finger. As he left the room, Ianto kissed Gwen clumsily on the cheek. He nodded at Owen and followed Jack out of the room. Tosh hugged Gwen and Owen and smiled down at Eve.

"Do you want to hold her?" Gwen smiled.

"Could I? Is it ok with you?" Tosh asked.

"Of course it is." Gwen laughed.

Owen gently placed Eve in Tosh's arms. Gwen sat back down on her bed and hugged him. He pulled her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her. They watched Tosh as she smiled down at Eve, slowly rocking her.

Tosh left half an hour later, leaving Eve in Owen's arms while Gwen went to sleep. He gently placed Eve in the little bed beside Gwen's and left the room.

It took him a while before he found Gwen's doctor.

"Excuse me, could I have a word?" Owen asked.

"Yes sure." He answered.

"Answer me honestly, Gwen and Eve, they are ok aren't they?" Owen asked.

"They're perfectly fine but we would like to keep them in for a few days, just to be on the safe side." The doctor told him.

"What do you mean? Why? What could happen?" Owen frowned.

"Well, with Eve being born so early, we need to make sure everything's working and has developed properly. It's just routine, nothing to worry about. From what we've seen, I'm pretty sure everything will be fine." He reassured Owen.

"Thank you, for everything, for saving the two most important people in my life." Owen said.

The doctor smiled at him and nodded.

Owen quietly went back to Gwen's room and sat by Gwen's bed. In one hand, he held Gwen's hand while the other held Eve's tiny hand. Eve began to cry and she gripped tightly onto Owen's finger. He quickly picked her up and held her in his arms. Gwen mumbled and turned her head towards Owen but she didn't open her eyes.

As Owen gently rocked Eve, she stopped crying and opened her eyes. Her brown eyes peered curiously up at Owen as he smiled down at her.

"She's awake." He heard Gwen whisper.

"So are you." He laughed looking up at her.

He sat on the bed next to Gwen. As he passed the baby to Gwen, Eve turned her gaze to her.

"Hey sweetheart." Gwen whispered. "I can't wait to go home and get her settled in."

"The doctor said it will be a couple of days until you can go home." Owen told her.

Gwen sighed and rolled her eyes.

Two days later, Gwen, Owen and Eve were back home. Gwen settled Eve into the cot they'd bought a couple of weeks earlier and stood watching her sleep. Owen stood next to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She turned to him and kissed him gently.

"If Jack calls, he can piss off tonight." Gwen laughed.
