Notes: Gwen discovers there are worse things than aliens

It was meant to be a mother daughter bonding day.  

Mary had driven up from Swansea for a bit of retail therapy in town.

However, what had started off as thinly veiled comments became out and out interrogation.

'You still living in that pokey little flat? Good gracious Gwen! You need to find a place with space to raise a family. Rhys must be thinking you don't want kids.'

'Mum, we do want kids. It's just not the right time now.'

'You don't have forever dear.'

Gwen began to wonder if being strapped to a weevil wasn't better right now.

I think her mother's comment is unknowingly pertinent considering she's Torchwood.

True. I think Gwen's reached a point where a Torchwood crisis is easier for her to to solve than a personal one.

Mothers do have a way of applying the pressure when they want grandchildren!

Mum's always seem to know exactly what buttons to press....
The weevil is looking good right now!
