Here is chapter two, for my new fic - warning - it has a bitch of a cliff hanger - just the way you like them!

( 2. Lost in the City )

Sixteen years ago, Dr and Mrs Tyler went missing from London without a trace, leaving three children in the care of Jackie Tyler.

In twenty forty, two of those children, now adults, go missing in the exact same circumanstances in Cardiff.

And in two thousand and nine, Captain Jack Harkness gains two very extraordinary new members to his team.

Right, I'm not sure where this came from, but it hit me out of the blue when I was on the long car journey between my mum's house and mine at the weekend. All alone with a sleeping baby, and thinking about possibilties to follow up the Dup!10 and Rose ending in Series Four, plus the soon to air Torchwood on the BBC, this came into my mind.

I'm only spoilering the end of Series Four, but as a year has passed since the episode orginally aired, I dare say that at the moment, this is not spoilerly.

Anyway, this is just my very rough draft, I do intent the write the whole damn thing before I even start posting so that I can get it all the flow nicely. Character's featured at the moment are Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper, Ianto Jones, Mickey Smith, Dr Martha Jones, also OC's Dr Alexandra Rose Tyler and Louise Tyler (I haven't given her a middle name yet, lol, I feel like I'm naming my own child here!!) Other mentioned OC's are Jack Tyler - I'm sure you can all take a wild stab in the dark there, as I don't want to explain on the off chance there is someone who has been living in a cave.

OMFG! I haven't managed to write one line of fic since July last year - there was nothing, nadda, at all - I would just look at the blank word document. Then today, in a quiet moment when Lauren was asleep, I managed to read some fic I started in July - Finding Home - and the corked popped, and I've actually written half a page more of the story - not a lot, but a start!

I'm not sure what made me start again - perhaps my hormones stemed my creative streak, and now, as I get back to normal I can write again!

The Twilight Saga has been on my mind recently - I've watched the film, read the book, watched the film, read the book, read the book, watched the film and then eventually, I hit on the missing link, and the following story only makes me smile more - http://uk.news.yahoo.com/1/20090420/ten-new-moon-halted-over-lawsuit-c60bd6d.html

Apparently, New Moon has been halted as Stephenie Meyer is facing legal action for plagiarism. Is this lawsuit going to go anywhere? No. Why? Because Twilight isn't exactly the most orginal story in the world anyway, regardless to who wrote it - in fact, you could argue that she has just rehassed Joss Whedon's work!

( Rant, rant, rant - spoilers for The Twilight Saga, right up to Breaking Dawn, and Spoilers for those of you who haven't got out the closet and watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer! )Okay, aside from the rant, just for anyone who is interested in knowing - Me and my little girl, Lauren are getting on like a house on fire - she's asleep right now, but she is now 7 weeks old, and as stunning as ever. She's moving into her new cot tonight - what with her being huge and outgrowing her moses basket already!

Firstly, thank you everyone who has sent congrats to me and my new family unit - we are still doing well - but, I wanted to share some thoughts and such on her actual birth - don't panic!!! No gory details here!

Lauren was due on the 28th Feb, and that night was when I was induced - my measurements at the time were a 52" waist and 44" from top to bottom of my bump - this is BIG! It was at this point, after some serious nagging, that the Doctor's overode the Midwives and booked me in to have my baby. 

The stuff they use to induce you here worked first time around - a friend of mine was recently induced in the same way and it took her a three day stay in hospital BEFORE having the baby because the stuff didn't work. Once the stuff kicked in, I went for a walk around the hospital - I've never been in hospital that late before, but it was werid - outside you could hear the druken injured milling around outside A & E and inside were the odd look security men, who looked just odd!! 

Things didn't really work out the way I had hoped for her birth - as you will have read in my previous post, Lauren was born by emergency c-section. Now, I never wanted a c-section, it's a major operation and it leaves you feeling very uncomfortable afterwards - but this operation saved the life of my baby girl and that's enough to put up with the pain.

Anyway, I was recovering well from the c-section, kept my wound clean and infection free, however, instead, I got an internal infection and at the moment, I'm on a knives edge for readmission to hospital - I'm at the point where my GP can't do any more for me, and next time I take a downturn, it's a trip to A & E for me.

It's horrible for me, because I can't breastfeed her, as it was a choice of antibiotics to keep me out of hospital or feeding her, and I'd rather be out of hospital doing what else I can for Lauren. Also, I can't pick my little girl up, she has to be handed to me - but at least we still get hugs. I'm tired all the time, so haven't done many night feeds since I got ill - in turn, Rob is overtired, and things keeping getting blown out of proportion.

A friend of mine wanted to willingly put herself though a c-section, because she is so afraid of the pain - but after seeing what is happening with me, I have convinced her that natural is the best thing to do.

I will never ever feel bad for having a c-section, as I say, it saved Lauren's life, but I wouldn't willingly do it again. But I'm lucky, I have fallen in love with my little girl and I don't feel detached from her in anyway - some people feel they don't have that bond for having a c-section. I will get to the other side of this infection and I will get better for her and in a week or so, we'll be walking on air!

Hope you don't mind the random binting!!!

Well, after being off work for six weeks, and still not finding anything to write about, I have a little annoucement -

Lauren Louise Harfield was born on 1st March @ 14.57 by emergency c-section weighing in at an absolutly stunning 11lb 4oz. Mum and baby were allowed home on 4th March, and the three of us are doing well!

....I'm on Maternity Leave - weeeee

You know what killed my spark? I have to say it was definatly the last episode of Series 4 DW. I want to write, but I can't seem to find a muse - so I've been travelling far and wide (and when I say that, I mean far and wide over my extensive bookcase) and I have recently found myself emersed in the Twilight series. I only read the first one becuase the I watched a dodgy copy of Twilight and found that I could work out where the story was trying to go, but they couldn't hit the nail on the head.

I have to say, I'm blaming a combination of a bit of interesting casting and the fact that I was too distracted by the fact that the soundtrack didn't quite lip sync with the film. So I'm waiting for the proper DVD.

But with regards to the books, I really like them, I very rarely read stories in 1st person, but it was nice to get such a depth for one particular character.

Anyways..... Just to continue my babble - my baby is due in seven weeks time :s - it's all very scary!! I don't really have much more to say on that front, I have just over two weeks left at work and then that's it- it's all a waiting game.

I've not posted since September, and loads has happened, hasn't it??
