*sniffle* Poor Jack. I understand Alice's pain, but she's lettin g it destroy her. Jack had no choice, it was Steven or millions of children, and now he's had to sacrifice his own unborn child too. No one should ever be put in such a position. Alice is too locked in by her own grief to care about anyone else's or even to notice that she's not the only person grieving. Not that she honestly seems to believe Jack is capable of grief. This whole trip to earth has been a nightmare for both Jack and Ianto. Time to get away and find a place to call home, somewhere they can find peace and happiness, and put these events behind them for good.

Thank you.

She's stubborn and feels as she has nothing left. Hopefully the boys will find the happiness they deserve.

There are times I wonder if the Doctor is just punishing Jack for what Rose did to him and that each time they interact, things just go from bad to worse. I finally got to tape the arc episodes with the Master and that Year so I'll spend the weekend with those. This is a great story but I really wanted to slap hellfire into Gwen and her single minded stupidity and stalking of Jack. Ok, I feel for Rhiannon and poor Ianto having to Retcon her and while I can sympathize with Alice up to a point, her venemous abusiveness to Jack, even after the events of the latest 456 incursion, are inexcusable. He's already lost her and his grandson; now he loses another child, albeit one he didn't realize he was carrying? The man can't do anymore penance for his grandson's loss but Ianto's defense was masterful. I just hope the Doctor will leave them alone to follow their own lives together

But you've opened up a curious and tantalizing premise: when the Doctor left Jack at the spacestation bar and slipped him the note about Alonzo the last time he saw Jack, I wonder just what this is setting up the Series for
I don't know what, if anything, that particular scene was setting up, but I do know that Moffat is planning to make use of the fact that Capaldi has played two roles in the DW/TW-verse previously. This is some of what Moffat said regarding that: I remember Russell [T Davies] told me that he had a big old plan as to why there were two Peter Capaldi’s in the Who universe: one in Pompeii and one in Torchwood. When I cast Peter and Russell got in touch to say how pleased he was, I said, ‘Okay, what was your theory and does it still work?” and he said, ‘Yes it does. Here it is…’

We’ll play that one out over time. It’s actually quite neat.

That scene always bugged me when the Doctor left that note, which is why I wrote this story. I hope you enjoyed this story and liked the outcome.

[jackdavfan692]

Me too. *Nods* I mean, surely RTD could have come up with something that did more to, maybe not give Jack closure, per se, but at least give him the will to stop running away & move forward after what happened! Because a (presumably) one-night stand with a stranger? Given the way Jack changed over the course of TW (and I honestly think he did, quite dramatically), I don't think something like that would have done the trick anymore.

I did 8). *Nods* Very sad, of course, because Alice will likely never forgive Jack for what he did, and he essentially had to do the same thing he did to defeat the 456 before (and this time, I imagine it affected him even more, since it was his own child he indirectly sacrificed), but nowhere near as bleak as the actual ending of COE, because Jack hasn't lost everything he loves. It's more of a bittersweet ending, really, and often times, those are the best kind :). *Nods again* Well done =)! *Applauds you*

Oh my goodness my heart is pounding what an ending to a brilliant story, I cant believe what Jack had to do AGAIN! I feel so sad for both him and Ianto.

Great work with this.

*sniff sniff* poor Jack, he is suffering not only because of his daughter's mean treatment but also because their unborn child and all the other things he has to leave behind.
Hope they find that peace of mind that will help them to tolerate their long future.
