So I came home from work today, and a drabble wrote itself...

For: tw_lucky_7 

Title: Whisp

Sin: Pride
Character: Gwen
Word Count: 100

“You did it,” Rhys said to her as she lay in the delivery room, damp with sweat, holding their child in her arms. And exhaustion could have been her excuse for the wanderings of her mind. But all Gwen could think of as she lay there gazing down upon damp, downy hair, were all the people who would never see this child. There had been so much death. She heard the dark whispers in her mind, “you were the one who had someone left to live for…” and the nurses saw the rosy flush of shame but called it pride

Thank you! It sort of wrote itself... but I realized that Gwen was the only one who didn't come to Torchwood as a result of having no where else to go...

she came in unbroken, and was the only one left standing (sans Jack who can't die but could leave). ouch. right?
