"You killed your own father?" Jack asked in surprise.

"Kyle, you don't need to keep killing children. It won't bring your mother or sister back." Kyle mocked snidely before his voice changed back to normal. "I'm not doing it to bring them back. I am doing it so that other families will have to suffer like mine did. The old man could never understand that."

"Your father was compassionate." The Doctor informed Kyle. Kyle huffed loudly.

"He was also trusting and look how far that got him." Kyle laughed again.

"I've had enough of this, can't we kill them now." Jack asked the Doctor.

"We're not killing anyone Jack."

"I can't say the same," Kyle responded, as he pulled a knife out of his coat and swung at the Doctor. Jack didn't even hesitate as he turned the gun on Kyle and put a bullet through his head, as the Doctor hissed and grabbed his arm. Kyle fell to the ground and the Doctor shook his head at Jack.

"I can't take you anywhere," He said as he stepped over Kyle's body and leaned over to pick up the new child that had been brought in.

"He cut you," Jack seethed.

"It's just a scratch," The Doctor walked past Jack carrying the child and headed for the stairs. "Bring him and try not to kill him on your way to the TARDIS."

"What about the creature?" Jack asked.

"Leave it." The Doctor replied. Jack forced the man back up the stairs and to the TARDIS, the Doctor took the child into the medi-bay while Jack took the man down to the cells before retrieving Edele from the playroom. The way it had ended kept playing over and over in his head. Yet he was relieved that it was finally over.

The breeze swayed the mountains of Feldspoon as they sat eating their picnic. The children ran and laughed in a game that Jack at first thought was tag, then freeze tag and now he wasn't sure what it was. Lissy ran after Edele, the injury to her foot now no longer noticeable. William easily caught up to her and passed her as he tried to catch Edele as well. Jack laughed as Matthew, not understanding, tried to tag Sophie and she started to yell at him, waving her finger. At just under one, the yelling was babble but Matthew looked properly chastised.

"She seems to be doing well," Jack commented as he watched the children play.

"It's all thanks to you two, I don't know how we could ever repay you for giving us our daughter back," Edele's mother responded.

"Well the occasional picnic is nice," The Doctor smiled up at Jack from where he was laying on his back with his head rested on Jack's thigh. Jack leaned down and kissed him on the head. The Doctor normally didn't except any thanks in return for his actions but Edele's parents had insisted and her father had even paid them several visits. In the end the Doctor had finally given in and agreed on one picnic.

"What ever happened to the other child?" Edele's father asked.

"She's being well taken care of," Jack responded. They were never able to locate her parents and in the end Martha and Mickey agreed to take her in. She was a timid child when she first went to live with them, but under her new parents patient guidance she was bloosming.

The Doctor sat up as he saw movement out of the corner of his eyes. Looking towards the nearby woods, he saw a little girl in an old fashion dress with curls smiling at him.
