Ok. New fic time

I'm not sure whether to count this as a one-shot or not

This is a little piece I came up with in about an hour. It is dedicated to lower_case_me who asked for a fic like this. Sorry it took me so long to actually get it written:)

There is a little spoiler for 'End of Days' but it is tiny

Enjoy:D

“To Gwen and Rhys”

“Gwen and Rhys”

She couldn’t have been happier. Daf had got through his best man’s speech without embarrassing them too much and Owen had resisted the urge to heckle too much. At first Rhys was worried that they had planned everything too fast but she was sure. If she wasn’t then she wouldn’t have proposed to him in the first place. Ever since his ‘death’ she was determined that she wasn’t going to lose him again.

Her one regret was that Jack wasn’t there to see it. The one man who had encouraged her to keep a ‘normal’ life was not there to see her do just that. He had been gone nearly a year and there wasn’t a day where he wasn’t missed.

But life went on at Torchwood. Tosh had been put in charge. It was decided that Gwen was too inexperienced, Owen was too unpredictable and Ianto was the only one who was able to maintain the front for the organisation - in fact they had asked him to take over but he refused. So that left Toshiko, who had the experience and the skills needed to run the place.

Now here she was - Mrs Cooper-Williams. She was happy to actually be married and couldn’t wait to go on honeymoon. She had been bugging Rhys all week asking where they were going but he didn’t tell her. Not even the smallest hint had been dropped.

She was making her way across the dance floor when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

“May I have this dance?”

“Of course Ianto.” She smiled at him as they began to move “How can I thank you for helping me with this?”

“Simple. Follow me outside.”

They moved gracefully over the floor and only stopped spinning when they were outside.

Ianto’s smile was so bright Gwen thought she would be blinded. She had her back to the garden that was outside the hall.

Gwen let go of Ianto and turned to face the garden.

Owen was standing to one side with a smirk on his face and Tosh had her arms around a man who had his back to Gwen.

Seeing Gwen there, Owen tapped Tosh on the shoulder and pointed at her. She let go with a small smile and the man turned round to face Gwen and Ianto.

“Jack?” That was all she managed before she fainted into Ianto’s arms.
