Ok, so it's the 7th chapter. God it only seemed like yesterday I posted the first chapter lol. Hope you enjoy. Please review xx
"Jack? Gwen back yet?" Tosh asked him shyly.
"No" Jack said simply. It was 4 hours ago that Gwen had gone to tell Rhys that it was over. He was beginning to think that maybe Rhys had done something but he knew that wouldn't happen. He supposed that with news that Gwen had, he needed to give them time to sort things out.
"She's probably just explaining a few things Tosh. Don't worry" He finished. And speak of the devil, just then the cog door rolled back to reveal Gwen, but Jack's face dropped when Rhys followed her in.
"Hi" Jack said bluntly to them. He turned to Gwen and she just shook her head and rolled her eyes.
"I wanna word with you, fucking Harkness" Rhys yelled from across the hub.
"Fine. But please don't swear we have a young child in here" Jack replied. This just aggravated Rhys even more. He stormed across the Hub.
"Alone!" He hissed at Jack. Jack obliged and led him into the boarding room.
Jack knew what was coming next as Rhys swung his left fist at him, but Jack was ready and caught his hand before it hit his face.
"Don't even start those tricks Rhys. You said you wanted to talk, now talk or get out" He said. He wasn't taking any crap from jealous ex husbands.
"Where do you get off nicking peoples wives eh?!" He screamed in Jack's face.
"It wasn't my decision Rhys. It was Gwen's" He replied coolly.
"Yeah but she left me for you didn't she!" He carried on yelling.
"I won't deny that but it's up to Gwen who she's with. She decided. Not me" He said sternly. This man was starting to get to Jack now.
"Now I'm going to tell you once, and once only. You've got an ultimatum. Either leave Gwen alone and let her come back with me, or I'm gunna kick your face in well and truly" Rhys hissed venomously. Jack let out a cold laugh.
"You really think that Jack's scared of that?!" Gwen stated from the door. "You wouldn't stand a chance Rhys, and even if you did, I wouldn't come back to you. I made my decision and I'm sticking with it. There's no way you can force me into anything. And threatening Jack's definitely not gunna work!" She spat.
"You're really gunna leave me for him?!" Rhys shouted. Gwen just nodded my head.
"I'm sorry Rhys but it's impossible to live with you. You're always arguing, you don't listen to me and whenever there's a problem you straight away blame it on my job" She finished.
"Because it's your fucking jobs fault. And your boss's.!"He screamed. Just then Rosie ran in.
"Stop shouting at my mummy!" She screeched. And ran over to hit him on the leg. Jack grabbed hold of her.
"Rosie, go down stairs to Tosh. I told you not to come up here" He whispered to her.
"But he's shouting at my mummy!" She cried into Jack's sleeve.
"I know it's ok. Daddy's sorting it out sweetheart" He told her.
"Now look what you've done" Gwen hissed bitterly.
"Well excuse me but i've just been told that my wife's leaving me cos she's fucking her boss!" He raised his voice higher.
"Stop swearing. I'm sorry but nothing is going to change this. We didn't work. We still don't. Me and Jack do" She sighed.
"So that's it. A divorce. For one fucking man? Who the fuck does he think he is?!" He carried on.
"I don't know but I know who I think he is. He's the father of my daughter. The man who's always been there for me when you haven't. The man who doesn't question my choices because he understands that they're mine. And he's the man that I've fallen in love with" Gwen sighed.
"Oh don't make me sick. He probably only wants you for your body knowing him" Rhys wasn't letting go. Why couldn't he understand that he and Gwen just weren't going to work? That by not listening to what Gwen wanted, he caused this. That sometimes people move on. That he also had to move on. These were the questions running through Gwen's mind.
"That's not true. And you do not know me" Jack hissed. He was still holding onto a sobbing Rosie tightly.
"JACK! Rift spike alert!" Tosh shouted as alarms went off through the hub.
"Wha-. What's happening?!" Rhys asked.
"Rift alert. Look Rhys please just go. Don't make this hard." Gwen begged.
"No. I won't" He shouted. Just then Owen and Ianto came at either side of him and dragged him towards the cog door.
"Ok, shows over. Get lost before we shoot you" Owen snapped. They carried him out of the tourist office and Owen very politely told him to fuck of before the two of them entered the hub again.
Back inside everyone went into action. Jack went down to Tosh to see what she had found, Ianto got the car, Owen got his med kit ready just in case and Gwen was dealing with a sobbing Rosie.
"What have you got for me Tosh?" Jack asked. Authority clear in his voice.
"It's only a small object. No life sign so it's obviously not alive. Probably only need two of us." She told him.
"Ok, me and Owen will go." Jack said.
"No I'll go. I need to clear my head anyway" Gwen said from behind she walked forwards and Rosie sat down on the sofa with her Barbie doll.
"Ok. Come on Gwen cars ready." And with that, they both walked out, got into the SUV and followed where Tosh was telling them to go by inputting it into the SATnav.
"You ok?" Jack asked Gwen wearily.
"Yeah. Fine." She said, sounding fazed. Jack wasn't convinced. "Just feel a bit guilty about Rhys is all. I shouldn't have expected any less of his reaction." She sighed. Jack smiled sympathetically.
"It wasn't your fault Gwen. Things happen for a reason don't they?" He tried to encourage her.
"Do you regret it?" He asked. He was starting to panic.
"Don't be stupid Jack!" Gwen couldn't believe he'd even think that. "Look I made my decision. I want to be with you and only you. In the future we have three children. And that makes me the happiest person in the world to know that." She sighed. She smiled at him. He nodded his head at her statement. Relief running through him.
"Ok your nearly right next to it, it's just round the corner of the building where you found Rosie" Tosh said through the comm.
"Ok Tosh, we'll have a look round" And with that the pair got out of the car and searched around the area. Tosh's signal had lead them to a dead end so it oculdn't be far away. Just then something caught her eye. It looked like an envelope, so she walked towards it and picked it up.
"I found it Jack, but its just blank." She said. Then she turned it around and on the front it said. 'To, Jack and Gwen Harkness'. Gwen looked up at Jack confused, he nodded at her and she began to open it.
The leter read:
Dear Jack and Gwen,
This is infact a letter from your future selves. I'm sure (or hope) that by now you have found our Daughter Rosie. She is therefore also your daughter. When we were in the time you're in now, we are well aware that we didn't see eye to eye with each other. But then something came through the rift. It was Rosie from another time. So in order to make sure that you got together and had Rosie, we in turn sent our Rosie back to you in 2008. We do not know how long this course of life has been going on for, but know that in order for you to have your Rosie, and any future children, you need to be reminded of your love. And that is why Rosie was snet back to you. To prove to you what life you could have. We hope you receive this letter, or all of time could be ruined. On the 3rd of August, please take Rosie to the place where you found her and we will come and collect her.
You have all of this to look forward to in your time.
All our love Jack and Gwen xx
P.S, Gwen, never stop believing x
Jack turned to Gwen who looked equally surprised.
"What did she mean by that at the end?" Jack asked her.
"I have no idea. Come on let's head back and let the others know" She replied. And with tat they got back into the car, with the letter firmly in Gwen's poket and they headed off to the hub.
Well, hope you liked it. Does the letter make sense. Dunno. I'm not very good at explaining things. Reviews and opinions? Plz plz thankya xx
