Okay, here we go; the next chappie. Can I just point out, that whilst writing this chapter, I was mostly intoxicated so that is to blaim for all punctuation and spelling mistakes.

This one is for shadowxwolf who wanted a Jack/Gwen chapter.

She's Always A Women To Me

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes

Jack would always think that one of the reason's he hired Gwen Cooper – now Cooper-Williams – were her eyes. Her large, brown eyes that looked at him like he knew everything, full of trust and innocence. And he went and ruined that innocence – just blew it away - by introducing her to the world of Torchwood. But what he couldn't understand was that she still trusted him. Still had complete faith in him.

And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she's always a woman to me

Gwen always held the illusion of showing her emotions clearly. But Jack knew differently. True, she could not hide her strong emotions; love; anger and determination were always shown clearly on her face, but her thoughts and lesser emotions were harder to decipher. Jack had always prided himself on being able to read people easily, but Gwen… well she was different.

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief but she's always a woman to me

From the moment Jack saw Gwen, he knew she was going to be trouble, and he couldn't deny that, when he found she had a live-in-boyfriend, he felt a slight pang of disappointment. The 'boyfriend' didn't stop him flirting with her though, and it didn't seem to stop her flirting with him. He knew she wasn't serious but it didn't stop the pang in his heart whenever he watched her return home to Rhys.

Oh, she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh, and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

When Jack watching Gwen giggling, making her vows to Rhys, he couldn't deny that she looked happy. But how many times had he doubted that this wedding would ever happen? First her 'fling' with Owen, then the tension between her and Rhys because of her work, not to mention the number of times he thought they'd lose her… He was glad she had finally settled on Rhys, he was a good man, and that all tension between her

And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden

There was no denying that Gwen had successfully led Torchwood Three while he was away, rallying everybody and forcing them to continue there jobs protecting the city of Cardiff. She was always there for them all as well, the 'Agony Aunt' of Torchwood, listening to everyone's problems and troubles and giving them advice.

Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'

But she would still argue with him at every given opportunity, despite the fact that she knew how hard it was to run the Torchwood Cardiff branch. There was that time with Estelle and the 'faeries,' but Jack couldn't deny that she was right about that; taking a husband and daughter from one women in one day. And then the more recent events of Falt Holm and the Rift Victims, he just wished that she would recognize that all he did was for 'the greater good.'

But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me

The reason that Jack had hired Gwen was so that Torchwood would become less robotic, more compassionate, and it had, dealing more with the humans involved in their investigations, not just the aliens.

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
But she can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me

There was no denying that she had achieved this – making Torchwood more aware of the people – as well as the aliens – they were saving. She had earned her position at Torchwood as well as the respect of her colleges, despite the fact that she had been at Torchwood Three the shortest time. She was needed, wanted, and Jack would do anything to keep her there.

Well, there we go, I hope you enjoyed it and please review!!
