Jack was awoken by a soft kiss on the lips. He kissed his lover back tenderly, tasting his mouth as they held each other close. There was no thought of getting out of bed as they breathed each other in, just reaffirming their love for one another. Jack ran his hand up to the Doctor's head, stroking the hair behind his ear as the Doctor placed one hand tenderly on Jack's cheek. Jack's other hand drifted down between their bodies, pushing the Doctor's trousers down to just below his groin before doing the same with his own. Both of them were still recovering from giving birth still, so rather than roll the Doctor onto his back, like he wanted to, he instead pulled the Doctor so that he was laying on his chest, their erections touching.
"Jack," The Doctor moaned into his mouth as he thrust his hips softly. Jack answered back with his own careful thrust as he tasted every corner of the Doctor's mouth. The fabric of his shirt was getting in the way and he pulled it up as the Doctor removed his own shirt. The Doctor's chest was cool against his own and he pulled the blankets up in a futile attempt to warm his lover.
"I love you," Jack whispered as he moved his arms down to hold the Doctor's chest tightly against his own.
"Love you too, Jack. Oh, Jack. Jack," The Doctor whimpered. Jack decided he liked the sound of the Doctor crying his name almost breathless against his lips and set out to make him call it as many times as he could before the Doctor tensed in his arms. A cool wetness spread between their bodies as the Doctor found his release first. Jack followed suit a moment later, covering their stomachs in the warmth of his own release. The Doctor went limp on top of Jack, his body sated.
"We need to shower," Jack commented. The Doctor nodded, slowly pushing himself up off of Jack's chest. His stomach glistened with their releases and Jack was positive if he looked down he would see the same. Instead of looking, he got off of the bed, undressing and throwing their soiled clothes into the basket to be washed. The Doctor made it to the shower before him and Jack happily stepped into the cool water to resume his exploration of the Doctor's mouth. He couldn't get enough of his lover at the moment and wanted to keep him in their bed, but they had to find out what happened to the other Earth and figure out what to do with The Master and Rose.
It was with a lot of reluctance that the two of them made their way out of the TARDIS and up to the conference room. Jackie was already in there with Tony and Pete. The two adults were drinking coffee while Tony was eating a piece of chocolate cake. The Doctor eyed it with slight jealousy. He didn't comment on it, though, as he and Jack took their place at the table.
"Thank you Ianto," The Doctor exclaimed happily as Ianto came in with two plates of cake as well as coffee and tea for the Doctor. The Doctor dug into his piece, filling his mouth with the sweet concoction as Jack turned his attention to Pete.
"So what made you leave your universe?" Jack questioned as he sipped his coffee.
"Shortly after I sent Mickey and Jackie to go and get Rose, the lights started to go out on the planet. It was subtle at first, just rolling blackouts, but the power company had no explanation for them. The sun stopped shining as brightly and our telescopes could no longer see clearly into the night. The signals between the satellites and spacecraft were lost at the same time," Pete explained.
"Sounds as if someone or something enclosed the Earth inside a force field. The power to do that would be massive," The Doctor told him. Jack looked over just in time to see his cake swapped with the Doctor's now empty plate. He shook his head as the Doctor started in on his piece.
"That's what we thought. Before we could figure out if we were being invaded or what they wanted, the earthquakes started, leveling entire cities and killing millions. Those who weren't killed by the quakes died in the Tsunamis that followed. The sky went dark and we could no longer see the moon. Fearing for Tony's life I did the only thing I could. I brought him here to find Jackie and you," Pete finished. The Doctor nodded as he pushed the cake around his plate.
"Something moved the Earth. I tried to find a trail to follow when we were over there, but there was nothing suggesting the Earth had been taken. It was almost as if the Earth just disappeared," The Doctor told them.
"Rose was jumping between the universes, is it possible that one of those Universes pulled the earth from Pete's universe to their own?" Jack questioned. The Doctor thought about it.
"I would say that is impossible. The power that it would take to move the Earth to another universe would be astronomical. That being said, even the Time Lords didn't know what all the other universes held. It is possible that one of them have the technology to move planets as they chose. If that is the case, I need to close the gap between the universes as soon as possible before they target this Earth," The Doctor answered. He stood up starting towards the TARDIS to close the gaps.
"What about the other Earth?" Pete questioned. The Doctor paused in his steps.
"Jack can help you get an identity here and build a life. I am sure he could also give you a job here at Torchwood if you wanted," The Doctor answered.
"I don't care about my life there. I care about all the lives of the people who are still on that planet," Pete informed him, his voice raising. The Doctor looked at him.
"I'm sorry Pete the planet is gone. Even if I were to find it now, the number of survivors would be minimal. Either way they will survive, but I have to protect the other universes and the other Earths as well. If I don't close the gaps now, countless other lives could be lost as well," The Doctor explained. He knew it sounded cold and he hated the fact that once again he was making a decision on whether or not to save a planet. He felt as though he were standing in the barn again with his hand on the button, ready to destroy Gallifrey. He rushed out of the room as Pete went to speak again. He made his way down to the TARDIS and before he could change his mind, once again closed the gaps between the universes. He set the TARDIS to run a permanent background scan so that the next time the gaps opened, he would be aware of it as soon as it happened.
"You're making the right choice," Jack told him as he stood in the doorway of the TARDIS.
"It doesn't feel that way," The Doctor answered as he flicked another switch absentmindedly.
"I know, but you are sweetheart. Speaking of decisions have you decided what to do about the Master?" Jack questioned. The Doctor shook his head no. "Then can I make a suggestion. There is a prison planet called Hades that deals with the worse criminals in the universe."
"I've heard of it," The Doctor responded. He closed his eyes a moment. He could keep the Master prisoner aboard the TARDIS, but he would never feel safe if he did. He would always worry about what would happen if the Master got free or worse if he found their daughters. Hades would keep him contained for the time being, but the Doctor had no illusions that the Master would be held their forever. He would escape one day and on that day the Doctor hoped he was ready for him. "We can take him there in the morning," The Doctor said at last. He walked over to Jack laying his head on Jack's chest.
"Everything is going to be alright," Jack whispered. He kissed the Doctor on top of the head before reluctantly leaving his side. He had documents to draw up for the Tylers so that they could begin building their lives again. He was also going to see about getting Rose over to Flat Holm Island. They were equipped to help people who were taken by the rift and he was hopeful that they would be able to help Rose as well. Before heading to his office, he swung by the neonatal room and checked on the babies. They were both awake and demanding attention. Jack put his plans on hold as the Doctor entered a moment later. The rest of the universe could wait a moment as their daughters and family came first for a change.
