A/N : Thanks for reviewing, they're awesome. Heres the next chapter, hope you like and if you do, please review.

The tardis finally landed in Cardiff and Teresa walked out of the tardis. She was still wearing her baggy black pantsuit that drowned her new thinner body. She made a note to buy some new clothes once she had some money. Outside, the sun was shining and the sky was a clear blue. Teresa hadn't been on Earth in thrity years but it was still the same more or less. The Doctor and Reinette followed her out. Reinette's eyes widened at the sight of the cars and the shops and the people. She frowned as a young teenage girl walked past wearing a very short mini skirt. "This is the future?" she asked the Doctor who nodded.

"Yes for you it is. It's the present for people on Earth". Teresa spun around and stared at Reinette.

"Your not from this time?"

"She's from 18th century France. She's better known as Madam De Pompadour" the Doctor explained and Teresa's eyes widened at the last thing he'd said.

"Oh my god" Teresa spluttered."Your the bloody famous french mistress of King Louis". Reinette blushed.

"I'm famous?"

"Erm your definitely in the history books" Reinette looked at her confused.

" okay I'm going back inside now. See you Teresa and thanks for helping us in the end". Reinette gave Teresa a quick hug before leaving the startled woman alone with the Doctor. Teresa was sad to say goodbye to the woman but she realised that he'd have to get her back into the right time before a paradox occurred. She wasn't even going to bother to ask why the hell Madam De Pompadour had been the one to come to his rescue.

"So...this is goodbye then" The Doctor said to her. She nodded.

"Thank you Doctor" she said softly."You changed me. I don't know how or why but you just did".

"Teresa have a fantastic life" he said and was about to go back into the tardis before she said something else.

"And I'm sorry about all the trouble I caused you and Rose. I hope you two can work it out". The Doctor nodded sadly.

"Me too" he said turning around to back into the tardis but once again something stopped him. This time it wasn't Teresa.

"Docteeeer!" a voice yelled and they both turned and saw a man dressed in 1940's clothing running towards them. The Doctor's eyes widened in horror and he was frozen on the spot. "Doctor" the man said, gasping for breath after he halted infront of them. The man didn't even seem to register Teresa's presence at all.

"Captain" The Doctor said, if Teresa wasn't mistaken, rather coldly.

"I take it your filling up" the man said, looking at the tardis. The Doctor nodded."Where's Rose?"

"Inside recovering from something. We're just filling up and dropping a friend off" he glanced at Teresa and the man finally noticed she was there.

"Oh hello, I'm captain Jack Harkness, who are you?" the man asked, looking her up and down.

"Teresa Phillips" she replied, blushing under the mans scrutiney.

"Nice to meet you Teresa Phillips" he winked.

"Stop it" the Doctor snapped.

"I was only introducing myself to your friend" Jack replied defensively.

"For you that's flirting. What are you doing in Cardiff, Jack?" at this, Jack started to glare at him angrily.

"Remember satallite five?" the Doctor nodded."I was killed by a dalek but I woke up gasping, covered knee deep in dalek dust. You abandoned me. I had to use my vortex manipulator to get back only it burnt out and I've had to live in Cardiff for over a hundred years, waiting for you to come back. Doctor, why'd you leave?" Jack asked and Teresa saw a flicker of hurt on the captain's face. Teresa realised that there was something oddly familiar about the guy's story.

"Do you want the truth?" the Doctor asked harshly.

"Yes" Jack said gritting his teeth.

"I left you because of what Rose did"

"Rose?" he asked looking confused.

"Yes. She came back and looked into the heart of the tardis, which no one is ever suppose to do, not even me. She used her new powers to turn the daleks into dust and bring you back to life. Only it was killing her the power so I absorbed it all, regenerated and now here I am. Wait a second, how did you know this was me?"

"I've heard about regeneration before on my home planet but I always assumed that regeneration and timelords were myths. Then when I met you and then the daleks, I believed everything. Besides you totally gave it away the way you said captain" he explained and he glared at him."You still haven't explained why you left me".

"Your immortal now , thanks to Rose. That was never suppose to happen and your a fact now Jack, that's why I ran away from you" he said quietly. Then Jack began to smile.

"Prejudiced?"

"Me? never" Jack glared at the Doctor who shrugged."Okay maybe a little bit".

"Doctor" Teresa suddenly piped up and the two men turned and looked at her."The thing that he just said about him waking up and gasping. That was the same thing Rose did after she was shot.Do you think it means something?". The Doctor frowned at Teresa and then he looked shocked for a moment before recovering.

"You know might be right, only one way to find out" he said, swung open the tardis doors and ran back in, followed back Jack and Teresa. They ran into the infirmary where Rose was still sleeping. Jack looked horrified when he caught sight of Mickey's body.

"What happened to Mickey?" he asked quietly. Although they had only met once, he'd sort of liked the kid.

"He died that's all you need to know" he said glaring at him and Jack fell silent. He could tell it was a touchy subject so he didn't press for details. Teresa was looking at her feet. The Doctor took out a scanner-looking type of machine and passed it over Roses body. His eyes widened. Jack looked at him.

"What going on?, what's happening to Rose?"

"Teresa, you were right. Her cells stopped aging completely a while ago and they seemed to be repairing themselves from the dalek shooting earlier on. She's like Jack now" he looked at Rose sadly."No one should have to be stuck like that".

"Look why do you think it's such a bad thing?" Jack snapped."You love her, she loves you, now you'll be able to spend forever with each other. I don't see the big probelm".

"You wouldn't" the Doctor hissed."I won't live forever. Rose will outlive me and then what?". Suddenly a slow grin spread on the captain's face.

"Well I could always-" he started but he was instantly cut off by the Doctor.

"Don't even think about it Harkness" he growled.

"You don't want her to be alone!"

"Yeah your right but still. You, really?" he raised an eyebrow at Jack who was offended.

"Captain?" a small voice came from the bed infront of them and they all looked at Rose who had awakened just a few seconds ago."Long time, no see. I thought you were dead or something, no offense and it is good to see you but what are you doing here?" Jack moved closer to Rose and smiled at her.

"It's a long, boring story that the Doctor will tell you later. How are you? feeling any better?"

"Doctor" she said softly, avoiding Jack's question."What's happening to me? I was suppose to be dead remember?"

"Long story short when you became bad wolf, it changed your DNA and made you immortal. It also did the same to Jack and you've probably passed it on..." he said staring her stomach. Jack looked completely confused though.

"Passed it on? it's not contegious is it?". Teresa struggled to supress a smile while the Doctor rolled his eyes at Jack.

"No Jack, it's not. I was talking about the baby"

"The what?" now Jack felt really left out of the loop. Which he was of course as he didn't know anything about what had happened to them since they were last together on satallite five.

"The baby" Rose repeated but her voice had gone several notes highter than normal. Infact it sounded more like a squeak. Teresa noticed that Rose seemed more freaked out than the Doctor. Then again she'd also noticed that he tended to hide his feelings and was probably staying calm for Rose's sake.

"Your pregnant?" Jack said slowly with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Sort of" she mumbled. Jack started to grin.

"Alright then! good for you. whose's the lucky man ?". Rose's cheeks turned bright red and Teresa silently slipped out of the room to leave the three friends to talk. Jack only got it after he saw Rose glance at the Doctor and the Doctor glance at Rose."You are kidding me right? you finally do it and I'm not there! that's just not fair, I feel so left out".

"Urgh, don't be so dirty minded Harkness" Rose growled."It isn't what you think. Me and him never actually...did it". Jack frowned.

"I don't understand, how can it be his?"

"Er...long story short we were captured and forced into an experiment that involved certain stuff, look mister, I'm not a scientist nor am I a highly intelligent timelord so how the hell am I suppose to know what they did? hell I wasn't even concious" she snapped after she caught the Doctor rolling his eyes like he did at Jack earlier."Anyway what's done is done. My mum is going to flip out "

"Don't remind me of that dragon" he muttered and recieved a glare off Rose.

"My mother is not a dragon!"

"Okay so whose the ginger?" Jack interrupted quickly, referring to Teresa.

"A friend we picked up from where we went" Rose said half truthfully. She wasn't going to tell him that Teresa had shot Mickey before giving the order for her scientists to experiment on them. Afterall she came through and helped them in the end. She wasn't all bad.

"So why are you dropping her off in Cardiff?"

"Dunno, we needed to come here to refill and she wasn't particulary bothered were we took her. So what have you been up to Jackie boy?" he asked changing subjects. Jack's grin faded and he looked nervous now.

"I've been working for a secret organisation..."

"What?" The Doctor looked him suspiciously.

"I'm sort of head of the one based here in Cardiff"

"What is it Jack? you can tell us" Rose said from her bed. She was trying to focus on somebody elses probelms instead of her own. She'd get around to it later and besides she really wanted to know what Jackbeen doing with himself especially in Cardiff of all places.

"I'm head of torchwood 3"

"torchwood?" the Doctor hissed."They murdered the sycorax at christmas and your involved in it!"

"I wasn't involved in that one, that was torchwood one with Yvonne Harper. She's a real heartless bitch though and wouldn't listen to me although I knew you were probably up there sorting it out that's why my team did nothing .Please believe me". The Doctor's expression relaxed but only slightly and whn Teresa suddenly walked back into the room, Jack was grateful for the welcomed distraction.

"I think you should be taking Reinette home now" she said quietly.

"What do you mean?" Rose asked frowning.

"The tardis can't hold up the paradox any longer. She needs to go back, right now Doctor". The Doctor nodded and everbody, except Rose who was too weak, followed him into the console room where Reinette was waiting, changed back into her dress.
