CHAPTER 11

8 weeks later

Ianto woke up lifting himself up off of jack’s chest. He yawned and then looked up to Jack’s face and realised that Jack had been watching him sleep. He reached up and kissed Jack. “You know what today is don’t you?” Ianto laughed a little and then placed his hand on his now considerably bigger baby bump.
Jack smiled “how could I forget, the scan, I couldn’t sleep all night.” Ianto kissed Jack again. “I’m so excited, can we go shopping later?”
“What for the millionth time this week, sure” Jack winked at Ianto. “You’d better start drinking” Ianto opened his mouth to say something, but he was cut off by Jack. “And no coffee”
Ianto sighed. “Fine get me a glass of plain boring water then.”
Jack laughed. “Too much coffee is bad for you and Junior at the moment”
Ianto raised his trademark eyebrow. “Junior?”
“Yeah cos he or she is small.” Jack smiled while passing the water to Ianto and taking a sip of his coffee.
Ianto drank a bit of his water and then placed his hand on his bump. “Junior” He looked up at Jack and smiled. “That’s another one for the list.”
Jack wrote the name Junior on the piece of paper stuck to the wall. “Who put down pineapple, milk and sausage?”
Ianto laughed. “That was Owen he thought it was the hub’s shopping list” Ianto struggled to get out of bed with his bump, he was only two months gone. But he was used to being skinny. By now Ianto was the size of a woman who was about five months gone. Ianto moaned a little and then looked at Jack smiling.
Jack stood there trying to read Ianto’s expressions. “What’s wrong?”
Ianto shrugged and carried on smiling at Jack. “I think Junior just kicked for the first time.”
Jack walked to where Ianto was now standing. He placed his hand on his lover’s stomach and waited for it to happen again. After a couple of seconds it happened again, Jack looked up at Ianto and beamed his famous grin at him trying to hold his tears of joy back.
He squeezed Ianto tightly and then kissed him with tears still running down his face. Jack looked at Ianto. “Thank you, thank you for making me the happiest man alive.”
Ianto smiled back at Jack. “I think juniors already trying out for torchwood.” He laughed. “Come on we better get dresses”

After they had got dressed the both spent most the time hanging around drinking water and talking about the baby.

When Owen was ready he came and found Jack and Ianto. “Right if you’re ready I’m ready. Lets get this over with.”
They both nodded and followed Owen down to the autopsy room. While Owen was squeezing some of the cold gel onto Ianto’s stomach making him shiver, Owen started to look at past test results that he was keeping regular. “Jack?” He said with a questioning look. “You know you said 51st century male pregnancies last only seven months, well according to the past test this says it will only take another two months at the most.”      
Ianto shot up. “What?! Jack you said it would take seven months tops, oh my god two more months, I’m only just two months pregnant. We haven’t even told my parents yet, shit Jack.”
Jack tried to calm Ianto down. “sshhh don’t worry. Owen are you sure?”
Owen sighed. “Jack I’m a doctor of course I’m sure look, I’ve been comparing the growth of the baby in Ianto. To the growth of a normal baby in an average woman” Owen started to show them the results together.
Ianto looked at Jack worried. “How am I going to tell my parents?”
Owen frowned. “How about by using the phone?”
Jack laughed a little. Ianto shot him an angry look.
Owen started again. “No really just tell them by phone. Phone them up and then tell them that you and Jack are having a baby, tell them it’s a surrogate or something or you’ve adopted.”
Ianto looked at Owen and smiled. “You know what Owen I think you’ve had your first ever good idea.”
