Hello! Yes, I haven't died. I really do apologise. I went home the week before last and thought I'd get a chance to do some writing but my stupid Titus Andronicus essay took up most of my time. On the bright side I never have to look at that play again. Anyway, the bad news is that I have a North and South essay to write for the 16th of December and a creative writing portfolio in for the 7th so I'm going to be REALLY busy over the next few weeks. The good news however is that this part of the story is fully written up and therefore I will spilt it into chapter on my computer now and so updates should come to you a little more regularly than this massive gap I've left. And the UBER good news is the title of this chapter.

MoodySpark: Thanks I'm glad you liked it :)Yes they are quite strange together but still, I think on some level it works out. Mainly because there's a dimension between them.

Emzza: No problem at all. If you took the time to review I want you to know that I appreciate it. Some people just read a chapter and then leave it and that's cool but you put in that little extra effort that make me smile so much. Besides I've made so many friends through reviews. I had no clue who Rachy Babes was before she started reviewing, now I steal her characters, beta her story, e-mail her at 2 in the morning and refer to her as my internet girlfriend. I wouldn't change that for the world. You're all really important to me so it's only right I let you know that :)

1945: I think we all want to go to this wedding (I kind of get to because of Alexandra which is fun :D)

Sashaxh: Thank you! That means a lot :)

Dwatlaskrhtcm: Sometimes I miss the old Nemo too, in the same way I miss my old self. Everyone changes over time due to events and age it's sad but at least we can go back and read about her. Besides I think that's why I originally started 'Words have meaning names have power' because I wanted somewhere where Nemo could be any age I fancied writing and in any situation, it didn't have to fit in with the story line of 'What's in a name' it could be for years and years before or even years in the future and that really appealed to me. That's a difficult question. The truth is this story will be ending reasonably soon. It's had a long run and I've loved almost every second but as Uni work builds up and I get less and less time to sit around writing it's just becoming another task to complete. It's not fair of me to keep you all hanging so I'll end it. However. I will keep 'Words have meaning…' open so, if I have the urge, I can write a bit about her. I'll never be completely finished with Nemo but I believe that this story needs a proper ending. You guys deserve that. And yes, Scotland is amazing, It's where half of my family is from so I'm a big fan :)

Rachy Babes: I'd like to take a moment to remind Fawks of her moral faux pas. She may have taken Nemo's virginity but she did it while Nemo was very drunk. Tut tut.

It's a beautiful night

We're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby,

I think I wanna marry you.

Is it the look in your eyes

Or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares baby,

I think I wanna marry you.

Bruno Mars – Marry You

'I don't want a hen night.' Winter complained as she lay back against Jack's chest in the library, Pip curled up in her lap and picked at the bobbles of fluff on her jumper. Amy scoffed and waved her hand.

'Don't be ridiculous, every girl wants a hen night, it's the best part.' Rory looked down at her and poked her in the ribs.

'What about the first dance, the I do's, the dinner?' Amy shrugged.

'That too.' Winter sighed and fiddled with the pen in her hand, clicking the top.

'But what's the point. Who would I invite I hardly have a wide range of friends that are girls.'

'Fawks.' Jack pointed out.

'Amy.' Rory mentioned.

'Lucy.' Jack again.

'Rory.' Amy joked earning herself another poke, Pip let out a scratchy chuckle causing Winter to giggle even more at the joke.

'What about Sophia.' Jack asked. Winter looked down at the ground.

'I doubt she'd take to the whole alien thing.'

'You could do it on earth.' Jack reminded her.

'And how do I explain Fawks?' Jack opened his mouth but promptly shut it again. 'Besides the Doctor has already sent out the invites to the people on our lists, I can't just jump a hen night on her. Look I'm fine with you having fun with a group of guys but I just don't fancy it. Fawks' one was fun but it wasn't exactly me.' Jack grinned.

'Then why not leave it to me. I'll plan you something that really IS you.'

'Jack…'

'Please.' He took her hand and kissed it softly. She relented and smiled.

'Fine, but I see one stripper and I'm claiming cold feet, got it.'

'Yes Ma'am.'

TTT

The Doctor grumbled as he tried to fuse two burnt out wires into coexistence. Winter sat down at his side and put a hand on his chest causing him to jump and bash his head against the inside of the console. He rolled out and looked up at her a little dazed. 'Hello.' She smiled and gave a small wave in reply. He looked at her suspiciously and then smiled as he rolled back under the console. 'So, how excited do you feel?' She felt the corners of her mouth twitch up in response and lay down at a right angle to him, resting her head on his chest.

'On a scale of 1 to exploding? I think I'm in the range of Christmas.' He chuckled and she felt the vibrations on her head, rolling over to listen to his hearts beating as he talked to her.

'And what about the groom to be?'

'Oh he's currently pacing through the wardrobe yelling at the TARDIS.'

'How on earth do you know that?' Winter grinned.

'He was planning on wearing a tux to the wedding.'

'And.'

'And…I'd rather he wore his normal outfit.' The Doctor laughed again.

'You cheeky little minx. You asked her to hide all the suits didn't you?' Winter shrugged and laughed along with him.

'I can't help it, I love him whatever he's in but I fell in love with him in that outfit and I know how comfortable it makes him.'

'What about you. What are you wearing?' She shrugged. 'What? You don't know? I thought brides were meant to be all, controlling over the wedding dress. I thought you were supposed to order it two years before the wedding and then complain because it doesn't fit and blame everyone else because it's not as perfect as you remembered it.'

'You've been watching too much 'Bridezillas" she told him, 'Ianto's buying my dress, he knows my size and he's got a pretty good idea of what I want.'

'He can't know you THAT well.' Winter smiled sadly.

'No, but my Ianto did and I have his diary.'

'I don't see how that…oh.' Winter looked up at the time lord as he paused his work.

'What, you think Fawks is the only person who draws pictures of me. I bet you do too. Everyone seems to be a closet Nemo artist.' He smirked and she looked back up at the ceiling. 'Anyway, how's it going?'

'I'm trying to convince her to break through into a parallel dimension without ripping a hole in the whole of causality for the sake of a wedding.'

'Yeah but, my wedding.' He smiled and she hopped to her feet as he rolled out from under the console, pulling him to his feet she stepped back to allow him space to move around the room.

'Exactly,' he tapped her nose as he passed, 'Your wedding.' He lifted a lever and grinned but the grin fell from his face when she pulled him back, taking his hands in hers at their sides and leaning in slightly.

'Doctor…'

'Nemo…'

'Can I ask you for something?' He looked around the room and seeing no one to help nodded.

'I suppose so.'

'My brother's dead.' The Doctor's breath caught, she couldn't ask him for that, 'And my dad's dead and to be honest he wasn't much of a dad.' He relaxed, no bringing Andy back from the grave then. 'You're my best friend. My best friend in the entire universe. You understand me better than I do myself.'

'That's more down to the TARDIS than you really, I understand her so….'

'Would you give me away?' She interrupted. He paused shell shocked.

'Pardon?'

'You know, the whole, walking down the aisle with me thing…I need someone to walk with me or I'll trip and fall flat on my face and I could ask Fawks but she'll do something rash like trip Jack up or something and I'd really like you to do it so I was hoping you'd say…' He squeezed her hands tightly and brought his forehead down to hers, looking into her eyes and kissing the tip of her nose.

'Of course I'll do it. Besides it will give me a reason to stay for the whole service for once.'

'You stayed for Fawks.'

'I walked her down the aisle too remember.' Winter smiled as he took off back to the console she walked up the stairs but turned to him when she got to the doorway.

'Wear the top hat, I love you in the top hat.'

TTT

"Jack, he gets it, if the world ends, call UNIT." Fawks sighed as she examined her nails, sat outside the library with the rest of the team. Arthur was looking bored as Jack went through the safety protocols.

"I've got it Captain." Arthur sighed, shaking his head and walking back inside.

"They said they'd be here by now." Ianto said looking at his watch.

"They're trying to not rip a hole in the... oh," Fawks cut herself off, shaking her head and flattening her hand against her stomach as the TARDIS noise blared around them. She felt John close behind her.

"You ok?"

"The rift isn't so fond of the invasion either." Fawks mumbled through gritted teeth.

"Can you open it from here?" Ianto asked. Fawks donned a concentrating frown and pushed out a breath and orange-gold light which slithered from her mouth. As it disappeared the TARDIS materialised in front of them. Fawks took a relieved sigh and looked up at the blue box.

"You're doing it again." John whispered. Fawks looked at him from the corner of her eye. "A smile wouldn't kill you."

"Shut up." Fawks rolled her eyes at him as she led the way to the TARDIS.

"You promised you wouldn't sulk." Ianto said, taking Jack's hand as they all traipsed over to the ship.

"And I'm not going to, jeez, I just opened and closed the rift by channelling it through my being. Give me some credit for being tired."

"Tired is allowed. But, sulking, moaning, complaining..."

"I get it, all smiles and happiness and pretending that I'm all matey with my girlfriend's hubby."

"Soon to be actually." Jack said as he opened the TARDIS door.

"Yeah, well, I'm not doing this for you Harkness." Fawks said as she walked inside.

"Looking as gorgeous as ever Doll Face." John called, as Winter came down the stairs, he took her hand as she descended and kissed it with a low bow. Winter laughed and shook her head as she wrapped him in a hug. Peregrine thought it was great fun to leap from the bannister to Winter's shoulder and across John's head to Fawks who caught him and held him at arms-length, glaring at the monkey, he grinned, showing off his bright, sharp teeth.

"It's good to see you back." Winter whispered, ignoring her friends acrobatic performance.

"Trust me, it's bloody good to be back." John replied, smoothing his hair back into place.

"How come he gets all the attention?" Fawks' Jack grinned, wrapping Winter in a hug. Fawks lay back against the door, Peregrine on her shoulder, as the Doctor pranced around the console and Winter greeted everyone. She nodded over to Amy and Rory and smiled as Alexandra stood a little way from everyone else. Looking up to Pip and sharing a conspiratorial grin, she sauntered across to the young woman.

"I probably shouldn't enjoy watching you flounder uncomfortably in social situations as much as I do." Fawks smiled, walking around Alexandra.

"No, you shouldn't, but that still doesn't stop you."

"Hey, today I'm hunting for all the enjoyment I can get."

"Oh come on now, Angel. It's not going to be that bad." Winter smiled, stepping out of Fawks' Gwen's arms and hooking her own around her girlfriend's neck. Pip transferred himself to her shoulder and gripped her blue highlights tightly for balance.

"It's alright for you, you get gifts and a sexy holiday."

"And a sexy man to go with." Jack called over. Fawks rolled her eyes and hugged Winter.

"We better be going somewhere good."

"Well first things first we have another John to pick up." John looked up at the mention of his name.

"I'm getting the feeling this wedding is going to turn into one hell of an orgy." He commented.

"John." Fawks' Jack warned.

"Oh come on, you can't tell me you haven't looked at your double over there and thought dirty little thoughts." Jack and Jack glanced over at each other and coughed, shifting in minor awkwardness.

"No way!" Fawks giggled. A loud bang and crash from the door interrupted the moment and Winter glanced over at it in concern when she heard a worried yell from outside. Pip leaped to the metal railings as she raced over to the hat stand and pulled her sword from the side throwing the doors open and instantly shielding her face from the bright white light. She heard people appear at her side and squinted out into the unknown. Two shapes came into view, one large like a dinosaur, squat, scaly, long tongued and wide set. The other, shorter, thinner in an old red jacket and black trousers, John. Winter groaned and kissed Fawks' cheek.

"Be right back." Without waiting for an answer Winter sped out towards the monster. John was speedily backing away from the beast and he tripped, falling onto his behind. Winter jumped in front of him as the beast curled its back and hissed out its tongue. With a single swing of her sword the tongue fell twitching to the floor, spraying her with a smattering of black blood.

"Doll Face!" John grinned, "didn't expect to see you here."

"Yeah well you have a wedding to go to remember." She told him. He raised an eyebrow and then smiled.

"Well at least this is better than tying Jack to a lamp post naked." She laughed as he jumped to his feet and took her hand yanking her away from the creature as it launched itself at them. They ran at top speed towards the open TARDIS doors, John got there first and turned to grab Winter but she wasn't expecting the help and smashed straight into him. Together they fell onto the floor of the console room and Winter slammed the doors shut with her feet. "Doll Face!" John repeated looking up at her, "look at you, you even make Snoogle blood look sexy."

"Snoogle! That thing looked more Snargle than Snoogle!" she complained.

"Oh no, Snargles are the small fluffy ones, waaay more dangerous."

"You're pulling my leg."

"No but I am touching your…" Jack intervened, heaving Winter off John and brushing her down.

"We should go clean you up."

"But we haven't got Gwen, Rhys and Anwen yet." Jack began pulling her up the stairs.

"The Doctor can pick them up, come on." Winter smiled in realisation and winked at John, waiting for the pair of them to be well out of the console room before commenting.

"You're so jealous." He smirked and shook his head.

"Jack Harkness doesn't feel jealousy."

"Maybe not but you do." He put his hand to his heart as if in pain.

"Ouch, bring up the stolen name." she smiled.

"That reminds me, do I get to hear your real name at the ceremony?"

"I'm marrying you as Jack kitten." She frowned a little but tried not to show her disappointment, he stopped and turned to her running a hand through her hair and resting the other on her waist. "That's who I am now. It's not an identity any more it's my name. Just like there are thousands of John Smiths in the world. I'm not him I'm just another Jack Harkness. Besides, what are you marrying me as?" she smirked and continued down the corridor.

"It's a surprise."
