Notes: Very pre-series 1, no spoilers at all for S3, there's foreshadowing for S2 events though, title is blatantly borrowed.

It wasn't until the last day of his rotation with obstetrics he'd stayed for an entire birth. Part of him wished he'd not been there even then. His excuses had finally run out. He'd been handed the little girl to check over and then back to mum. A tiny hand grabbed his finger. He blinked at the small creature bundled in the blanket settled in his arms. Owen had a feeling then he'd never get to be handed a baby, told it was his new son or daughter, go home being the proud daddy. He sighed and handed her back.

Oh, that was like a spike through the heart.
You chose every sentence perfectly for the length of this.
Poor Owen!!!

Thanks, it ended up nothing like it was planned. It's something I'm not sure I like.

Adorable and OW. I love seeing pre-series looks at the characters, and I can totally see Owen in this. I just want to hug him.

Poor Owen! I'm sure, given a different set of circumstances, had Katie survived and had he never found out about Torchwood, Owen would have been a really great dad. :)

This was very bittersweet.
