I pulled him closer and grinned at him.
"Jack I love you but I'm not gonna marry you, I'm not even divorced yet for a start! And I think a baby's enough for the moment dont you?"
Jack grinned. "Yes I think it is."
"Got it!" Owen shouted from the autopsy bay. "I've got the software to find out who the baby's father is."
Jack turned to me. "We dont have to find out if you dont want to."
"I need to know, otherwise it's gonna be niggling in the back of my head for the rest of my life Jack."
I lay back on the table as the cold gel was squeezed onto my stoumach. I was scared, I mean really scared. I'd had a job catching aliens, being held at gunpoint at least twice a week and nearly turned into meat by nutty villagers, and so much more, but this I was scared of. I couldnt bare the thought of Rhys being the father especially the way the baby was concieved, we hadnt slept together for over a month before all that happened. I didnt want the baby to grow up with a father like that, not that I'd let my child anywhere near him, but I'd always feel guilty on Jack, it wasnt my fault but still. But also I was worried about Jack being the father, I didnt know if we were even properly together, he ran off and left me, I couldnt cope if he done that again, to me and a baby? Even if we was a couple, it was way too soon for a baby? Everything was going so fast, my head was spinning! Oh my god had I made a terrible mistake?
"Gwen... GWEN!" It was Jack, I must have zoned out, he was shaking me. "Did you here what Owen said? The baby's mine!" Jack was beaming.
I didnt have a second to think, before being dragged into a hug by Jack. Oh god what was I gonna do? I hadnt thought this through, I shouldnt be having a baby now? I numbly grinned as the rest of the day passed in a blur.
It had just gone 2. Once again it was one of those very rare times when Jack was asleep. I layed still, staring at the ceiling, the only sound was Jack slowly breathing. He was knackered when we got to bed just a few hours earlier, he had been searching the internet for baby stuff, trying to make up for everything that had happened. Today dragged after everything and really all I needed was some time alone. I turned my head slightly to his sleeping body.
"I'm so sorry Jack..." I whispered. I got up, trying not to wake him, and picked up my bag on the side, I hadn't had the chance to unpack it from earlier, so I just left it. I picked up a pen and wrote on the pad next to the ladder.
Captain Jack Harkness, my hero in so many ways, you know I'll always love you. Everything is going so quickly and I just need some time to think. But please dont think I dont love you because I do! I'll be back soon, tell Owen I have warned him this time ok? Love you
I climbed into the taxi I had ordered and it drove off, there was only one single place in the whole universe I needed to go now, the only place I could get away from it all, who would always be there for me no matter what, who wasnt gonna go tell Jack straight away where I was. I payed the fair and climbed back out again, tears streaming down my face in the pouring rain, I knocked on the door as the lights flickered on from inside. I heard the door be unlocked and the door opened.
"Gwen?" I started to cry more.
"I didnt know where else to go."
His eyes burned into me full of understandment, the one person who could help me right now. Andy.
"Bloody hell get in!" He took my bag and ushered me in.
We sat for a good hour drinking tea as I explained everything that happened to me over the last 3 months, as he stared in astonishment. I explained how I needed some space from Jack. He automatically told me I was staying with him as I had hoped he would offer, apparently the spare room bed is very comfy. After that long day I went to bed and dropped off as soon as my head dropped the pillow.
I woke to the sound of the kettle from downstairs, I got up, grabbed the laptop I had packed with me, and headed downstairs, sitting on the sofa.
"Hey! I was just about to bring this up to you." He grinned, passing me my tea. "Now, work. I can call in sick if you want-"
"Whoaaaaaah, no way Andy." I looked at my watch. "In less then a hours time they are gonna start their search party, and their gonna ask you for help, if your suddenly off ill on the same day, they're gonna come sniffing round here. I need you to spin them of course, they musn't know I am here."
"You sure your gonna be ok?" He said, giving me a concerning look.
"You know me Andy, I've been in worse shit. Anyway, I have my laptop so if they get any leads then I'll know about it, I dont want to miss anything that happens anyway, I made sure I have all the Torchwood software on this one laptop, so I'll keep myself busy." I winked at him.
Just when Andy had left for work I gave him the Torchwood contact lenses, I knew the guys would go to him, I had nobody else in the city left but me and Andy had a plan, but I needed to watch him just in case. I waited for him to put them in and less then 5 minutes later here they came, crashing in. I watched the way we just walked in taking control of everything, who the fuck did we think we were?
Just stay cool Andy.
They all walked up to Andy at the desk giving him that look we give a weevil as if to say 'look mate dont even bother trying to get out of this, we both know what happens now.' Jack stepped forward. Everyone looked so worried, had I pushed them over the edge going off again? They must be getting pissed off by now, I was starting to feel guilty. He looked straight into Andy's eyes.
"We know where you are Gwen. Please let us talk to you."
