~~A.N~~ I'm back guys! So more posting and more new chaps! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! PLEASE!

There was some bitter sweetness of leaving my father, of not being able to tell him what really happened why I was really missing. I had seen the missing posters on the street lamp pole and on the window of the house, how could his heart be fixed, what could be done to take away his pain and suffering? All I could do is hope that he took Ciel in as his daughter and took care of her like he had taken care of me. Keep her safe and give her the best possible life that she could have, net dwell on the past. But I know that Ciel would be able to do that and fix my father's broken heart.

The warmth of the TARDIS helped drive the chill out of my bones but I still had Harkness's coat wrapped tightly around myself. The Doctor, Amy, Rory and Harkness were all stand around the middle panel speaking in hushed tones. They seemed nervous about something, like there was something that they wanted to do but couldn't. They didn't notice me come in or that I was watching them, I didn't like seeing the Doctor so worried or upset about anything. It didn't fit him; he should be a carefree person, full of life and joy, not being drug down by the world's stresses.

"Hello? You guys ok?" I said making my presence known to them, when they all looked up at me I could see one key emotion on all of their faces, relief.

"What are you doing back here Alexandra?" Amy asked smiling; she seemed to recover the quickest from my sudden reappearance.

"I thought that I would be staying here now... I mean there is no way that I could go back and live with my dad. Not after all I've seen and done, especially looking like this. He's never believed that it was me," I was a little wary, had they wanted me to stay with my father? To NOT have come back?

Amy smiled and said in happy tone, "We thought that you were going to stay there. You seemed so happy to be back there with your dad that we didn't know if you would come back. We're happy that you did though... you're a very special girl Alexandra."

I tilted my head to the side, what did she mean by special, special as in that I was dumb or special as in I was a spectacular person? I really couldn't tell, but all I really cared about was that I was welcome to be here, that I was honestly wanted and that I wasn't an unwanted pressure on them. It felt strange to be accepted by people I barely knew, that they could openly adjust themselves to me, and the way I did things. That to them I was already family and that they trusted me, showed concern that I might have left.

"Amy... I really do love this outfit that you gave me... but..." I trailed off, I didn't want to be rude and sound ungrateful to Amy for giving clothes, but they truly aren't my style and were a bit to lose in the skirt and too tight in the bust.

She waved her hand at me, motioning that there was no reason to feel bad at all, "No I understand, you want to have your own things, you're what... 16? Of course you want to have your own wardrobe. I would want that too and I'm older than you so there is no reason at all to feel bad and or that you're upsetting me in anyway."

"Thanks Amy. I really appreciate it." I smiled and I did feel like a 16 year old, not some girl that had to grow up too fast and know everything.

I was smiling and was purely happy, it was such a strange feeling, this... strange thickness that covered my mind, and it was unknown to me. Because my dear father worked so much when I had reached about 8 I was by myself much of the time and was unable to understand the feeling of being a carefree child. Cleaning, cooking, school, homework, I did all of this by myself with no support from an older family figure. Now, to have this strange feeling, the feeling of being able to be carefree to be taken care of not to care for. It was almost disturbing; I didn't know how to actually act to this feeling.

While speaking to Amy, Harkness had managed to come up behind me, I jumped as he put his hands on my shoulders and I swung around startled. He had that look on his face, the Casanova look; I narrowed my eyes about to snap at him for scaring me and for having that stupid look on his face. But he had given me his coat so that Ciel and I didn't freeze to death when we went out into the snow. I paused and gave him a smile, the room seemed to go silent and I was a bit worried.

"What? What's wrong?" I sounded embarrassed and nervous.

Harkness was the one to speak first, "It's your smile... it's just... amazing. Ungodly almost. You look beautiful Alexandra."

I blinked what? Me? Beautiful? He was probably trying to pull another one of his Casanova tricks on me again, there was no possible way anyone thought I was honestly beautiful. He chuckled, seeming to know the thoughts that were floating through my head. I folded my arms in an almost childish pout. He reached out putting his hand on my head, in an older brotherly way, and then ruffled my hair. The silver strands of my hair flew over my face covering my violet eyes; I looked up at him confused. What had brought on this sudden change in his mood, to turn from flirtation to brotherly?

He smiles over at the Doctor in a knowing way and the Doctor flushes slightly, I do a double take, no... it must be just a trick of the light giving his cheeks those rosy color.

" Hey kid, you'll be just fine. If you need anything you can find me at Torchwood. Cardiff Bay, Roald Dahl Plass, just yell my name really loud and I'll find you." He smiles at me then tosses me a wallet, its heavy, made of old worn leather, " Hey Doc, can you get me back to Torchwood now? I do have a rift in time and space to watch."

" Of course Jack," The Doctor starts to 'fly' the TARDIS making it shake and emit an awful noise.

The shaking is so bad that I can't keep my footing and Harkness has to hold me up even as he has to lean heavily against a metal support bar. Though it was done quickly it did make my stomach rather queasy and I wished that I didn't have to go through all of that. Harkness smiled again and helped me stand on my own two feet and not use him as a wall to support myself anymore. I had the leather wallet clenched in my hands, I looked at him as he started to walk towards the blue doors.

" WAIT! What am I supposed to do with this?" I called out to him before he got to the doors.

" Alexandra... I'm going to take care of you... Alright?" he gave me a warm smile as he stepped out the door.

My heart felt torn as I watched him walk away, why were my eyes watering? Why was there such a sadness in my heart?

" JACK!" I bent over at the waist screaming his name, pain and anguish dripped in my voice, I realized something, which was the first time I had called him by his first name and not Harkness.

The others were watching me, in such a short time I had turned from distrusting him to considering him a older brother... almost... a father to me. I felt pain watching him leave.

" Alexandra? Are you ok?" Amy's voice was soft and she chose her words carefully, trying not to make things any more difficult than they already were.

I straightened and took a deep breath, there was no reason to get so emotional over this, it was illogical, as I spoke the words seemed to be hollow " Yes I'm fine... I suppose I'm still in a bit of shock is all."

" Everything will be fine, the TARDIS is your home now," Amy said reassuring me.

Home Sweet Home right?
