Chapter 11: Have a Happily Ever After
New York, A Few Years Later
"Woah!" Rory jumped backwards as Luna rushed passed him doing an awkward spin while balancing a plate full on fake fruit.
"Not sorry!" Luna called back disappearing into the kitchen. She placed the fake fruit on the table and then frowned. "Ugh! It just doesn't look right!"
Rory came over and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Hey, it'll be okay. Just relax. They're just your parents."
Luna laughed, "Cute, Rory. Just my parents?" She moseyed her way out of Rory's grasp to adjust the fake fruit again. "I have to make everything perfect! Prove to them that I'm a capable adult!" She turned to her husband. "Where are Jamie and Jake?"
"In their rooms."
"Are they ready yet?"
"…I'll go ask…"
"You do that."
Rory turned and left bounding up the stairs to grab their two children. Luna reached out to adjust the fake fruit bowl one more time. Then there was a sudden knock at the door and Luna almost jumped out of her skin. She bolted to the door hastily fixing herself before opening the door with a pleasant smile. "Dad! Father!" Jack and Ianto stepped through the door as Luna opened it wider. They hugged their daughter with bright smiles.
"Where's our grandkids?" Jack teased.
As if on cue, Jamie and Jake were tumbling down the stairs, "GRANDPA!"
"There they are!" Jack swooped up both kids at the same time.
Rory came up with a smile and put his arm around Luna. "Hey, Ianto, Jack, it's good to see you."
Ianto nodded, "It's good to see you too. Glad you're taking care of Luna."
"I'd say it's the other way around." Rory laughed, "She's a wonderful person."
Jack hefted his two grandchildren over placing them into Ianto's arms. The children laughed climbing all over him. Jamie dropped and grabbed Ianto's hand. "Come on Grandpa, I wanna show you my Lego house!" Ianto smiled and let them drag him into the living room. Jack, Luna, and Rory followed.
"So," Jack said looking at Luna, "Are you alright here? You don't visit much."
"I call."
"I know." Jack paused, "But other than opening a branch of the travel agency here, what else have you done."
"Rory."
Jack smirked and then turned as a bookshelf caught his eye. He walked over and Luna followed. Rory retreated to Ianto and his children sensing a moment that he didn't need to be a part of. There was a book sitting on the shelf, sitting on top of the others since there was not more room for it. "A Journal of Impossible Things by Verity Newman…" Jack read aloud. He picked up another book, "The Angel's Kiss: A Melody Malone Mystery by Melody Malone." Jack read.
"It's interesting," Luna said, "It's got this idea that there are Angels in New York and they move so fast that you can't blink or else they'll get you." She pulled another book from the self, showing it to Jack. "This is Jamie's favorite." She handed it to him. "Summer Falls by Amelia Williams... I like it too." He put it down and looked at Luna. "You know, these books all have a similar theme." He put it down and then another caught his eye. He put the books down and then there was a certain book that Jack felt compelled to grab. "The Adventure of Captain Jack and Sir Ianto by Luna Harkenss…" Jack's eyes glanced to Luna and she shrugged. He opened the book, flipping through and spotted an illustration. It was a very familiar illustration, a nightmare that Jack knew he would never be able to forget. He flipped the book over so that Luna was looking at the image. "You drew this?"
She shook her head, "Rory did."
"It's very imaginative. It looks like something out of a nightmare."
Luna shrugged, "I suppose so…I mean you learn from life right?"
Jack closed the book and placed it back on the shelf. "Real life, huh?" He leaned against the shelf, "A dream?"
"More of a nightmare, I would say."
"Looks like it."
"I uh…" Luna reached out and grabbed it again, "I thought it was just a dream…I mean at first. But I started telling Rory and when he started to fill in the blanks-"
"You didn't take the Retcon, did you?" Jack said.
"No." Luna said cracking a small smile, "No we did not."
