AN: Ok first I would like to say that I haven't forgotten about my other stories and I have the next chapters either partly written or I know where they are going to go for all of them but this story won't leave me alone so much so that I have written 5 chapters in less than a week so I thought it was finally time to post it.

This is set after Adam and before reset. This will go AU from there and will have cross overs with Doctor Who. How would Jack needing to become a full time father to his teenage daughter effect Torchwood? and how will an teenager effect the Torchwood team.

Torchwood Hub: late evening.

Jack, Gwen, Ianto, Owen and Toshiko are all standing around Tosh's computer as she explains the newest rift activity.

"The rift has been more active as we all know. I'm trying to see if there is any pattern to the activity." Tosh explains to everything.

"Is there?" Jack asks but before Toshiko can answer Jack's phones starts ring.

Jack pulls his regular phone out of his pocket and realises that it is not the one ringing so he pulls out a second phone from the opposite pocket. He looks at the caller id and walks a little away from everyone else.

"Why do you have two phones?" Owen asks as Jack walks off as everyone else exchanges looks as they have never noticed that he does.

"Hello."

"Daddy." A quite voice says.

"Hey, I know I'm late and I'm sorry, but I'm going to be leaving work soon. So I'll be at your Mums to join you two as soon as I can." Jack tells his daughter.

"Dad, something's happen to Mum." Jack's daughter says and it becomes all too clear to the father that it is something bad has happened and it causes his heart to sink.

"What happened?" He asks almost positive that he doesn't want the answer.

"I don't know. I slept at Gen's last night and Mum said I could spend the day there two so I did. When I got home and Mum was on the floor bleeding. I tried to help and I called an ambulance I helped Dad, I did. She's in surgery but they won't tell me what's happening." The voice says braking and crying as Jack runs into his office grabs something out of his second safe puts something in it grabs his jacket as he says. "Rhosyn listen to me what hospital are you at?"

"University of Wales Hospital, surgical waiting room 5th floor."

"Ok, I'm on my way. I will be there as soon as I can ok, I'm coming for you." Jack says running out of his office ignoring the calls of his team as he passes.

Gwen, Owen, Tosh and Ianto look at each other and run to follow him. By the time they get out of the hub and where the SUV is parked both Jack and the car are long gone.

"Do we track him?" Tosh asks when they realises they can't follow him.

"No." Ianto says not being able to explain why. But he feels that at the moment it may not be the best thing to do.

"I agree." Gwen says looking at Ianto "We go back to the hub and wait for him to come back."

"What if he doesn't? Wouldn't be the first time he disappeared." Owen reminds everyone.

"We go back and wait and then do our job." Gwen says turning around and walking back to the hub.

"Do you think he is ok?" Ianto asks Gwen walking faster to catch up with her concern clear in his voice.

"I hope so." Gwen responds not sounding confident.

Jack runs as fast as he can to the SUV .Once he gets to the car and starts driving he speeds to the hospital, breaking almost every driving law just to get to his daughter. Once he arrives at the hospital he parks outside the hospital in a park that is more than likely in a no parking zone and rushes inside before taking the elevator up to the 5th floor.

As soon as he exits the elevator on the fifth floor he sees his 14 year old daughter sitting in a chair by herself. Her green eyes filled with tears and her tan trench coat stained with her mother's blood.

"Oh Rosie." Jack says as he sits down next to his daughter pulling her into his arms as he runs his hand through her lose wavy golden brown hair.

"Why did this happen Dad?" She asks then lowers her voice so that no one can hear "Is it because of what Mum used to do? What you still do?" She asks her voice filled with pain and anger.

"I don't know Rosie, I really don't but I will find out." Jack says making a promise not to just his daughter but himself to find out what happened to the women he once loved, and who he still considers one of the most important people in his life.

Not even five minutes later the doors to the surgical wing open and a doctor comes out "Dad, that's her doctor."

Jack closes his eyes and stands up grabbing his daughter hand and bracing himself for the news that he knows is coming, because he knows that for the surgery to be over so quickly then it didn't go well.

"Mr Andrews?" The doctor asks Jack.

"Yes."

"Ms Harries was brought in with two gunshot wounds to the stomach. She had lost several litres of blood prior to being brought in, we attempted to repair the damage but it was too severe. I'm sorry to tell you that she died a couple of minutes ago." The doctor tells Jack and Rhosyn. Jack puts his arms around his daughter and she cries into his chest as he himself sheds silent tears.

"Once again I am sorry for your loss." The doctor says walking away as Jack and Rhosyn sits back down on the chair.

Jack and Rhosyn sit together morning for their loss neither noticing the sound of the people around them talking or the voice coming over the intercom, the sounds of life continuing around them.

"Mr Andrews?" A voice says and Jack looks up to see a police officer standing over him.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry for your lost, but we were wondering if we could ask you and your daughter some questions about your Ex? And what Rhosyn saw when she found her mother?" The police officer kindly asks.

"Now?" Jack asks angrily "Can't this wait? My daughter just lost her mother; she doesn't need to be questioned about what happened."

"Of course sir, if I could collect a contact number and arrange for yourself and your daughter to come into the station at a later this week to answer a few questions." The police office requests handing Jack and piece of paper and a pen.

"You don't think this was an accident." Jack realises trying to collect some information from the office about what happened.

"It is unclear at the moment Sir. There has been home invasions in the area but it's unclear if this is connected." The police officer tells Jack as he hands the paper back

"Your daughter's jacket has blood on it, as it is evidence I need to take it with me." The police office tells Jack.

Hearing the police office Rhosyn takes off her jacket and hands it over to the police officer before once again returning to her position.

"Is that all you need?" Jack asks.

"Yes sir, once again I'm sorry for your loss." The police officer says putting Rhosyn's jacket into an evidence bag before walking off.

"Come on Rosie, let's get out of this place, and go home." Jack says to his daughter who is still clinging to him.

"I don't want to go home Daddy, it's not safe." Rhosyn says her father looking scared after listening to the police officer and knowing what her father does and what her mother used to do.

"No one knows where home is Rosie, its safe." Jack reminds his daughter quietly.

"But we thought that about Mums house and look what happened. Someone broke in and killed her and we don't know if they meant to or not. The same thing can happen again" Rhosyn reminds her father with a broken terrified voice.

"I can't die Rosie you know that." Jack reminds his daughter making sure his voice is only loud enough for his daughter to hear using the surrounding noise to his advantage.

"But I can. What if it wasn't an accident and whoever it is comes out of me and tries to hurt me?" Rhosyn asks sounding terrified.

Jack wants nothing more than to tell his daughter that he won't let anything happen to her. That he will always keep her safe but he knows he can't make that promise so instead he asks "Where do you want to go?"

"To the hub, its safe there no one can get in. I'll feel safe there." Rhosyn tells her father as while she knows what is kept there and what her father does it is the only place she can think of that will make her feel safe.

Jack is torn, yes he has taken his daughter into Torchwood three when no one else was around and ever since he and Rhosyn's mother decided that she was old enough she has known about her father, who he is and what he does. He has also done his best to keep her away from it; to try and keep her safe. Taking her into Torchwood could be destroying all of that.

"Is it the only place that will make you feel safe?" Jack asks his daughter.

"Yes, please Dad." Rhosyn says looking up at her father her eyes begging for him to let her.

"Ok, let's go." Jack says still hesitant as he stands up taking his jacket off and putting it around his daughter as they walk to the elevators. Even though Torchwood is one of the last places he wants to take his daughter if it's the one place that she will feel safe then that is what he will do.

"I will do whatever I can to make sure you are safe." Jack says to his daughter as they enter the elevators as though he can't promise that she will be safe he can promise that he will do his best to keep her so.

Jack and Rhosyn make their way to Torchwood. Rhosyn not stoping crying the whole time Jack wishing the entire time that there was something he could do or say to make things better for his daughter.

Once they get to Torchwood Jack takes his daughter through the front entrance and into the hub.

"She can't be gone Daddy, she can't be, she's my Mummy how can she be gone?" Rhosyn says to her Dad just as they pass through the Hub doors falling to her knees finally feeling that she is safe enough to break down.

"I don't know how she can be gone Rosie, I really don't." Jack says keeling down next to his daughter very aware that his team is staring at them but not caring.

"I want her, I want her here, I don't want her to be gone." Rhosyn says before her crying turns hysterical.

Watching his daughter cry so intensity, seeing her in so much pain Jack can feel his heart break. He reaches over to her, picks her up and cradles her in his arms like he did so many times when she was a baby. "I know. I don't want her to be gone either." Jack tells her as he stands up and carries her into his office closing the door behind him.

"Jack has a daughter." Gwen says shocked being the first one to be able to speak. "A daughter who has just lost her mother." She says quietly to herself not being able to imagine how hard this is for both Jack and his daughter.

"How old do you think she is?" Owen asks.

"Early teens, 13, 14 maybe." Ianto guesses surprised that Jack hasn't told him about her but guessing that he must have his reasons.

"Too young to have to deal with that." Tosh answers feeling pity for the girl.

"Do you think she knows about her Dad, that he can't die?" Owen asks the others.

"What kind of question is that to ask?" Gwen asks Owen turning to face him sounding a little angry.

"A good one. We need to know what she knows so we can know what we can say around her." Owen points out.

"For him to bring her here she must know some of it." Tosh guesses.

"Unless it is the only place that he could bring her." Gwen points out.

"We wait for Jack; do what he tells us to do." Ianto tells the others.

"Of course you would say that." Owen mutters to himself.

Jack has taken Rhosyn into his office and down the ladder into the little living area he has created underneath the hub. He places her down on the bed and he sits next to her, still holding her, Rhosyn still having his jacket around her.

"How about some food?" Jack suggests realising that it must have been a while since she has eaten.

"I'm not hungry. But I am tired." Rhosyn tells him.

"Then go to sleep. I'll be right here." Jack tells his daughter.

"You promise." Rhosyn asks yawning as she does.

"I will stay right here until you full asleep but then I have to go upstairs and talk to my team, but I will come back down and check up on you. I promise I won't leave Torchwood until your awake, ok." Jack says to his daughter.

"Ok." Rhosyn says closing her eyes.

Jack holds his daughter waiting for until she fell asleep once she does he kisses her on the head says "Good night sweetheart." Before carefully removing his arm from behind her and heading up stairs.

Once he gets upstairs he heads over to his team who are still standing together all of them with questioning looks on their faces and says "That was Rhosyn Jenifer my daughter who turned 14 last week. She is here because she arrived home from a friend's place to her mother bleeding on the living room floor from two gunshot wounds, she didn't survive. Rhosyn is here because it is the only place she said she would feel safe. She knows about me, what is out there and what Torchwood is and because her mother used to work for UNIT she knows about them as well, any questions?" Jack asks leaving no time for interruptions during his whole explanation.

"What can we do?" Gwen asks.

"I talked to a police officer at the hospital and he didn't say much can you use your contacts to find out what they have? her name was Amelia Harries." Jack requests.

"Of course."

"Tosh can you check all rift activities? and see if there has been any threats against me or Amelia we both have a lot of enemy's."

Tosh nods in agreement.

"Owen can you get the hospital and paramedic records to find out exactly what happened?"

"Done." Owen says.

"You said that she used to work for UNIT. They keep track of all former employees and any threats against them, but those records aren't kept online only in hard copy. I can't get to them." Tosh tells Jack.

"I'll get them." Jack informs her.

"Ianto."

"Sir?"

"Rhosyn said she isn't hungry now but she could be in the morning. So can you make sure there is breakfast here." Jack requests.

"Of course." Ianto assures.

"Also I need a list of everything I have to handle. I know there is a lot but I don't know where to start can you help me figure out what to start with?" Jack requests looking at Ianto with pleading in his eyes.

"Of course. The first thing would be letting her family know." Ianto tells him.

"Amelia has no family she is an only child and her parents died before Rhosyn was born, before we even meet Rosie and I" Jack says stoping himself as he comes to a realisation shocked and disappointed in himself that he didn't think of them sooner " and Matt and Aaron are her only family."

"Who are Matt and Aaron?" Gwen asks noting the look on her boss's face which she realises has a hint of shame.

"My twin sons. Ever since things became serious between Amelia and I and even after we broke up Amelia raised them. She didn't care that they weren't hers biologically. She was the closes thing to a mother they ever knew." Jack says quietly almost like he is talking to himself but yet everyone on the team hears not sure how he is going to break the news to his sons.

"Where are they? I could go and get them for you." Gwen offers in a supportive tone of voice.

"They are in London, they both work for UNIT." Jack says pride but worry clear on his face.

"How old are they?" Owen says before he has a chance to stop himself.

"They will be 25 at the end of the year." Jack says then turns to Gwen "I'll call them, but thanks." He says turning and walking into his office.

"Three children." Tosh says surprised.

"We don't really know how long he has lived he could have a whole army of kids for all we know." Owen says "But that doesn't matter at the moment we should just do what he wants us to." He says walking off and out of the Hub.

Ianto, Tosh and Gwen look at each other and all head off to do what was requested of them. Jack sits down in his office and sits quietly for a couple of minutes preparing himself for the call he has to make. Picking up the phone on his desk which is a complete secure line he dies the number for his sons.
