-One Month Later-
"Are you sure you don't want to stick around? I really don't mind having you here," Jack questioned Pete as he sat across from him in the office. Pete nodded.
"Torchwood one is still standing and I plan on rebuilding it on the inside. With your cooperation here in Cardiff we can once again have Torchwood protecting the Earth like it should be," Pete replied. With Jack's help he had an identity on Earth again. Even if he wasn't rich, like in the other universe, he was able to afford a small home in London. He was also able to afford the trip between London and Flat Holm Island where Rose was staying. He was reluctant to leave her there at first, but over the last month he had seen the improvement first hand. She still had a long way to go before she would be healed, if that ever happened, but once again there was hope for her recovery.
"You're a good man Pete, and I look forward to working with you again," Jack told him as he stood. Pete stood as well and the two of them shook hands. Jack walked him to the door and watched as Pete headed out of the hub. He looked out into the hub, seeing Mickey, Ianto, Tosh and Owen working hard at the computers. Jack had offered to let Mickey go with Pete to Torchwood one, but Mickey had declined. It was clear why as he was often seen with Martha and Jack celebrated their relationship along with the rest of the group. He made his way down the stairs, heading to the TARDIS. Entering, he went back through the corridors to the room he shared with the Doctor. He smiled as he entered to find the babies laying on the bed in identical blue dresses. Kui'la was still smaller than her sister, but she was getting stronger every day.
"What is the special occasion?" Jack wondered as he looked at them. The Doctor furrowed his brow at Jack, from where he was finishing dressing in his brown suit.
"I was thinking that we could take them for their first trip in the TARDIS," The Doctor informed Jack as he fixed his tie.
"Don't you think they're a little young for that?" Jack found himself questioning. "Shouldn't we wait until they are old enough to decide if they want to run?"
"Oh Jack, of course, they are going to want to run," The Doctor laughed as he scooped up Kui'la and handed her to Jack before picking up Cerys. Jack smiled, realizing that the Doctor was right. He held Kui'la close as he followed his lover out to the control room. He took his place on the captain's chair and happily accepted Cerys into his arms as well so that the Doctor could drive the TARDIS.
Jack watched his bond partner dancing around the controls. He didn't know what the future would bring and at the moment it didn't matter. He had his family and the four of them had a lot of running left to do.
