OK, well, hello. I know it's been a long long time since my last update but there was a good reason. When I wrote most of this story I had knowledge of how the series ended so I was able to weave Winter through easily but I had to wait until the end of this series to do justice to this series. I also want to tell you that although this story will DEFINATLY contain spoilers to Miracle Day but I advise you watch it first anyway because although I have used the same story line I have missed bits out because I decided to approach it more as a comment on Winter and Jack's relationship than as a repeat of the storyline so things might be a bit confusing if you don't watch it. I'm sure you can find the eps on the internet or what have you.

I also need to let anyone who doesn't read Rachy Babes' story, know that recently Fawks was killed in her story and this is very important to the current situation, so even if you don't want to read the whole story, I advise you read chapter 87 of 'Lost' just to get a better idea (it's all about Winter so it should interest you.)

Anyway, as most of this post is going to be review replies I decided to give you a preface to Miracle day afterwards. :)

BAMM. it'sSydney: Hopefully the above message lets you know why I only put up a couple of chapters but don't worry they should be coming in fairly regularly for a while now.

total-animal-lover: It was planned out to be a lame cover up, I didn't want to put anything too amazing there because, to be honest, haven't we all been asked a question then we answer with a terrible cover up and we realise a few hours later that we could have said one million and one better stories but they just came to us too late. No weddings never to go totally right and this one will be no different :) not for a little while though.

Loveeleventhdoctor: :) I'm so amazed at you persistence. You read it in a week? WOW! Thank you so much it means a lot to me and I really hope you continue to enjoy it.

sashaxh: I do worry that you might get a bit confused with Miracle day if you haven't watched it so maybe a compromise, you could always read the recaps for each ep on Wikipedia or some other site, that should help you keep up but won't force you to watch through the blood and gore :)

Dwatlaskrhtcm: Don't worry I don't think she'll remember the whole thing but little things will slip through over time. I may write a few little snippits of what happened to Jack but to be honest it wasn't top of my to do list I do quite like leaving it as a bit of a mystery.

1945: I am fully aware that you next review to me may be some form of threat ;)

Sonotalady: I think repression will work well for her, to be honest I'm more worried about Jack's reaction whenever Winter's near I child. I mean normally his protective but this might just tip him over the edge of protectiveness or worry.

Rachy Babes: I know you've read almost all of this story but I'm sure you'll enjoy reading the sometimes funny and mostly angry reviews when we get to 'THE CONVERSATION' as I have dubbed it.

She's staring at me, I'm sitting, wondering what she's thinking
Nobody's talking 'cause talking just turns into screaming
And now as I'm yelling over her, she's yelling over me
All that that means is neither of us is listening
and what's even worse, that we don't even remember why we're fighting.

So both of us are mad for nothing ,
fighting for, nothing

crying for, nothing.
But we won't let it go for nothing, nothing
This should be nothing to a love like what we got
Ohhh baby...

We fall into this place
where you ain't backing down and I ain't backing down
so what the hell do we do now...

Oh, baby this love ain't gonna be perfect
and just how good it's gonna be
we can fuss and we can fight long as everything's alright between us...
before we go to sleep.

I know sometimes it's gonna rain
but baby, can we make up now
'cause I can't sleep through the pain

Girl, I don't wanna go to bed, mad at you,
And I don't want you to go to bed, mad at me

Neyo - Mad

'I never meant for any of this.' He whispered softly. 'I just wanted to get rid of the Torchwood e-mail and fly off to some paradise, take your mind off death and loss for once. I wanted to sit on a roof in Venice, look up at the stars and plan the seating arrangements for our wedding. I should have known… I can't go anywhere without everything blowing up in our face. I bring death everywhere I turn… I should have let you go with Fawks when you had the chance. But I was selfish, I was so pleased when you stayed behind, even when I couldn't have you, even when I saw the pain in your eyes every time I kissed Ianto.'

'I kept you around. I kept you close. I watched you flit about your life with your jokes and your sarcasm, I felt your fear and anger and I tasted your tears more than once. Without me your life would have been simple. No Ianto, no undercover work, no Adam, no 456…and no PhiCorp. I know you'll be mad at me for saying this but baby, you'd have been better off without Torchwood, without me.'

'I know what I've done, keeping you around, I know it was wrong. I know I should have let you go, I should have watched you pass by and gone on with life without you. I never would have known any better, I should have walked passed the garden, but I stopped to admire the roses. And now here we are.' He ran a hand over her cheek softly. 'Please don't do this, I know what I did, I know I shouldn't have but please…please don't die.'

Alright I get it, that was mean. But you'll get the first update tomorrow.
