Thanks to everyone who's reviewed and to LadyGwen31291 who was on the same wave length as me with where the story is going lol. Hope you enjoy xx
The hub was filled with noise and bustle. Ianto was with Mel in the boarding room, probably making out. Owen was tidying away the med bay. Stranded items like knifes and scissors were a no no, with Rosie around. Jack was with Rosie, in the main part of the hub playing a game of hangman with her, and Gwen and Tosh were in a nice secluded spot to have some girly chat.
"So, I still can't believe it. You and Jack have got a kid together. I mean I'd just come from my honeymoon with Owen, which by the way was the best time of my life. ever." Tosh blushed slightly. "And we come in to find, Barbie's and pink all over the place. Jack really seems to have taken to her doesn't he" Tosh smiled. Gwen nodded.
"Yeah, he has. At first I got to admit I really didn't really feel good bout the whole thing. All I thought was, she's not my daughter and i'm going to lose Rhys. I didn't see the real picture. But now I have and..."Gwen faded away and blushed.
"And now you've fallen in love" Tosh finished, with a grin on her face.
"I never said that" Gwen protested , but she couldn't deny it. She was in love with Captain Jack Harkness.
"But you know it's true Gwen. I see that look he gives you, and how you react. How you blush crimson when he winks at you. It's so obvious."Tosh giggled. "I remember how I used to be with Owen, like a little school girl with a crush. I couldn't look him in the eye as i'd blush. But it felt so good." Tosh started to day dream.
"Yeah well i've never had a little school girl crush on Jack. No way. It's not even like that. I just think that Rosie has brought us together. And when she goes we'll probably go back to how we were."She sighed. Tosh wasn't having any of it.
"But what about Rosie. You'll have to get pregnant with Rosie so you've got to be together."Tosh said.
"One-nighter" Gwen said matter of factly.
"Why are you putting a downer on things. Now answer me truthfully, do you love Jack?" Tosh stared her down. Gwen looked away and her answer was all but a whisper. "Yes"
"Well then. Plus you'll have two more kids after that." Gwen groaned loudly. She was not looking forward to that. One day of pregnancy had worn her down on her wedding day to Rhys. How would she cope with nine months.
"Owen told me that you and Jack were making out last night." Tosh nudged her and gave her a sly smile before laughing. Gwen joined in.
"Yeah so." She blushed bright red. Just then Jack came up behind Gwen and kissed her on her cheek.
"Looks like Rosie's found a new best friend" Jack winked at her and nodded his head over to Tosh and Rosie.
"Auntie Tosh can you take me to the park again please. But Uncle Ianto was boring so he doesn't have to come" Rosie giggled.
Gwen had heard Jack say something but she didn't know what. She was lost in a sweet daze as she felt Jack's hot breath on her neck. It made her tingle. And then that wink. Oh that flirtatious wink of Jack's that made any woman, or man, swoop. She admitted it. She really was head over heels in love with this man.
"Huh?" She looked up startled. He let out a low laugh, and kissed the soft sweet skin on the nape of her neck.
"Never mind Gwen" And with one final kiss to her cheek he left. Gwen stayed motionless for a few seconds before snapping out of it and making her way up to Ianto for some coffee.
-
When she got into the room, Jack, Mel and Ianto were all sat down laughing at something. As she walked over to the coffee jug she caught his eye again and he flashed her one of his greatest smiles. She felt her legs shake but managed to turn away and walk in a straight line to the jug. When she poured herself a cup she inhaled it deeply, trying to get rid of the headache that was starting to develop. She took a seat at the boarding room table with the others and held her head in her hands.
"You ok Gwen?" Jack asked. Concern lacing his words. She half heartedly looked up.
"Yeah. Just a real bad headache is all" She smiled sweetly at him before putting her head down again.
"I'm sure Jack can bang it out of you" Mel murmured causing her and Ianto to laugh while Jack secretly smirked. Oh how he'd like to.
Gwen's head shot up and she gave Mel one of her dirtiest looks that it almost burnt Mel who quickly held her hands up in a sort of surrender way. She looked across at Jack who had his hand over his mouth trying to hide the smirk that grew on his face.
"And don't even try to hide that smirk Harkness. I know you fucking better than that" She snarled at him. She wasn't meaning it in a nasty way. But she had to admit, at the moment she wasn't feeling her best.
-
She was sat at her desk typing something on her computer when she heard Rosie run in behind her.
"Mummy, Daddy! Mummy, daddy!" Luckily Gwen's headache had cleared. The last thing she wanted to do was snap at Rosie, so that was good. She swung round in her chair as Rosie jumped into her lap. They heard a clattering of shoes on the metal stairs and saw Jack walk down. He quickly studied Gwen's behaviour and didn't think she was in a mood anymore so thought it safe to go over.
"Hey!" He replied to Rosie.
"Mummy, Daddy, auntie Tosh bought me an ice cream and a liccle pink camera" She squeeled. She held up a small hello kitty camera that looked rather cute. Gwen smiled.
"Hey that's nice. What flavour ice cream did you have?" She asked her daughter.
"Chocolate!" The little girl hummed. Both Gwen and Jack laughed.
"That's my favourite" They said in unison. They both looked at each other before Gwen giggled shyly, and Jack just smiled at her.
"Mummy, when you've finished on your computer, can me you and daddy go to the beach and get chips?" The little girl asked.
"Well I don't know" She said. She should really get back to her flat to see Rhys. Not happy with her mum's answer Rosie turned to her daddy and showed him her cutest puppy dog eyes. Jack laughed.
"Yeah, your mum uses those eyes on me when she wants something" Jack chuckled. Gwen snapped her head round at him. When she looked both Rosie, and now Jack were giving her the puppy eyes. How could she refuse to that.
"Fine then. Give me ten minutes" She sighed. Jack winked at her cheekily, making her blush and Rosie squealed highly.
"Yay! Chippy chip chips" She jumped up and down. And with that she ran to get her coat.
Gwen let out a deep sigh, as she finished her last sentence of her work. She felt Jack's hot breath tingle in her ear. She felt her insides melt. God he had such an effect on her.
"Stress dear?" He teased. She spun around in her chair.
"God Jack one day i'm gunna hit y-" Her sentence was cut off when his lips crashed into hers. She kissed back and he pulled away after a few seconds and grinned.
"God Jack, why do you make me feel so-"
"Special and loved? Because im good" He winked. "Thats why you love me" He chuckled. He loved winding her up. He thought she was so sexy when she was mad. But instead of getting mad, Gwen just nodded her head and reached up and caught his lips again. I've had enough. This is what I want. Not Rhys. I need to tell him tonight. She thought. She was sure that she was going to do it. No question.
"I'm gunna tell Rhys it's over tonight" She suddenly said. Jack was taken aback. But pleased at the same time. He nodded and smiled. He kissed her again. Only this time it was a lot more soft and caring.
"Finished?" They heard Tosh say from behind them. They both pulled back and turned around. Tosh giggled.
"This isn't an x-rated movie you know. We have children around" She tried sounding peeved but failed dismally. Rosie just giggled.
"Right. Let;s go get some chips then" Jack said. He grabbed Gwen's hand and pulled her to her feet. She stumbled and fell into him a little before straightening herself up. They grabbed their coats and the three of them walked out. Rosie stood in the middle with Jack and Gwen holding one of her hands each.
-
"So, which do you prefer? Summer or winter?" Gwen asked Jack after swallowing a mouth full of chips. She looked at him intently. He seemed to be giving it serious thought and she thought he looked quite cute. Then he ruined it with his answer.
"Tough one. I've got to decide between seeing you on the beach in a bikini. Or sat under a Christmas tree watching your face as you unwrap your lingerie" He chuckled. She slapped him on his arm playfully.
"Oi, watch it you" They had decided to ask each other random questions about each other.
"How about you?" he asked her.
"Winter" She replied. "I think it's nice and romantic, and you can get wrapped up and go out in the snow with your family" She said. Then she blushed pink as Jack smiled at her.
"Oh god, look at the time. Look, you take Rosie back to the hub, and I'll go to my flat and talk to Rhys. You know" She said to him. He smiled.
"Yeah. OK" And with that they stood up and she was about to walk off when Jack grabbed her hand and pulled her back. He put his hand to her cheek and caressed it slowly. He then leant in and pressed his head against hers. Hers eyes were closed.
"Don't worry about it yeah. Just think about what you're doing it for. Tell him the truth" At that Gwen instantly felt better. She knew that she really wanted this. To be with Jack and Rosie. She smiled and he kissed her gently on the end of her nose. She opened her eyes again and smiled at him before walking away towards her flat. Jack smiled to himself before turning around and picking a smiling Rosie up. She had been happily making a daisy chain.
"Here you go daddy. This is for you."She put it round his head and kissed him on the cheek. They walked back to the hub, waiting for Gwen to return. To Jack, life really did seem good now.
