A/N: I'm creating a chapter two now… And thanks very much for the review, Dengirl! What you say is very true XD Although in all honesty I'd have liked to get more reviews for the first chapter, but not everyone is into M-rated slash MPREG and I always say 'each to their own', I'm not a big fan of MPREG myself sometimes as most [virtually all] of the MPREG's I've read are never finished and it puts a dampener on things… also, I have an insane feeling that Jack will insult Donna in this fic soon and he'll get a punch in the face for it. Something to do with the baby, I don't know… and Former Judoon Commander Rok Ma is from my favourite Doctor Who novel 'Judgement of the Judoon', and he's in this chapter because he is.
Chapter Two – Doctor John Harkness
"Y'know, I'm going to have to go back to work soon; we're still parked in my office."
The Doctor took a minuscule sip from his cup of tea and placed it on the countertop, "At least the old girl's automatic cleaning system is still in working order – otherwise our little mess would still be on the kitchen floor."
Jack hated how the Doctor was avoiding the obvious and how he'd somehow press-ganged him into doing the same. Putting his own beverage on the countertop he said, "Doctor, will you marry me?"
The Doctor looked shocked, "This is a bit sudden."
"Not exactly; I asked you to marry me last night and you waved it off. Don't think I'm going to let this one slide – you're the mother of my child, why can't you simply be my husband as well?"
"I'm going to lose you." the Doctor had paled several shades lighter, "I lose everyone. No… it's best not to get too attached…"
"Doc, if you're scared of losing me, you know I'm immortal right? So I'll live as long as you, even longer. Look, you can't think like this in your condition–"
"I LOVE PEOPLE, AND I LOSE THEM!" the Doctor yelled, breaking down into Jack's arms, "I can't love too much… they get taken away…" he sobbed.
"Doctor, you can love me all you like, I won't get taken away." Jack said as he tried to reassure the Doctor – he supposed he [and nobody else] had realized that losing companions had such a detrimental affect of on his abilities to commit – he couldn't commit to someone fully or he'd get his hearts broken.
"Jack, please, I'm scared…" Jack knew the look the Doctor was giving him; he was scared for the baby.
"You don't have to be… hey, let's get you cleaned up." Jack said, wiping the Doctor's tears away, "We're going to be married soon, can't have you looking like the back-end of a horse." the Doctor smiled at this and composed himself.
"Yes, I suppose so." most of the colour had gone back into his face, "Am I going to be Mr Harkness after we're married?"
"Do you have a real name? Because I'm gonna need to know it if we're married."
The Doctor leaned in close to him, "Oh my mate can know it, and guess what you are." he said, eyes sparkling.
"Your boyfriend?"
The Doctor rolled his eyes, "Look, my Earth name is John Smith – howzabout I'm called John Harkness once we're married?"
"We're getting married on Earth?" Jack said, confusion etched across his face.
"Where did you think we're getting married, the moon? We can hardly do it on my planet."
"No, and I know." Jack said, putting a hand to the Doctor's face, "but aren't you upset about it? You should be, you usually are."
"My planet is long gone and you are not – that burden has finally been lifted from my shoulders." the Doctor said, beaming.
"Yeah, I suppose so – Doctor John Harkness." Jack chuckled, "I like the sound of that."
"Makes a change from John Smith I guess; I've been using that one for centuries."
Jack wrapped his arms around the Doctor from behind and said, "We're having a baby… I still can't believe it, how is it possible?"
"My kind were like seahorses, Jack." the Doctor said, "The males were the ones who carried the children before birth, and were generally the mother throughout their whole lives. Of course, millennia before I was born, looming came into fashion and natural reproduction went out the window – some, like me, were the exception in this."
"So… have you been pregnant before?"
"When I find the right mate, my body is sexually active all the time – if I don't, I'm sterile."
Jack's eyes widened, "So when you started fancying me you became… un-sterile?"
"Yes, it's actually fascinating." the Doctor grinned.
"Figures you'd only look at it from a medical standpoint. Will I have to read up on seahorses because of this?"
The Doctor's grin faltered, "Why?"
"You said something about seahorses, they don't just come into conversation naturally."
The Doctor gave a hearty laugh and put a hand on Jack's shoulder, "No, Jack, you won't have to read up on seahorses – but you're going to have to help me with wedding invitations."
"Oh really, who're we inviting?"
"Well, Donna and her granddad for one – Donna's my maid of honour and her granddad's a nice bloke."
"Am I going to get an explanation for every person you decide to invite."
"Only if you don't know them – that reminds me, who're you going to invite?"
"Probably just Gwen and her husband; there aren't many people who I can call 'friends'."
"How about we have an engagement party? And we can tell everyone about the pregnancy at the party too."
There was a knock on the TARDIS doors – a knock that reverberated throughout the whole TARDIS and met them in the kitchen, so much that their drinks fell over.
The Doctor and Jack shared a glance, Jack saying, "Automatic cleaning system, right?" both of them running to see what had caused the tremors.
"Rok Ma! Nice of you to drop by, but… how did you get here?" the Doctor said, shaking the Judoon's hand.
Rok Ma looked confused – confused for a Judoon anyway, "TARDIS parked in office."
"Oh, your and Nikki's office?"
"Wait, who's he?" Jack asked, pointing to the Judoon in their midsts.
"Oh – Jack Harkness, Former Judoon Commander Rok Ma. Former Judoon Commander Rok Ma, Jack Harkness. Right, are we all acquainted? Because I'm going to put the kettle on."
"Former Judoon Commander?" Jack said, eyeing the Judoon up as the Doctor busied himself with tea.
"Position had nothing left to offer." the Judoon grunted nonchalantly.
"I'm Jack – the Doctor's fiancée." Jack said, sticking out his hand which Rok Ma then shook – despite not being like other Judoon, Rok Ma was still a rhinoceros of few words and Jack had taken a liking to him.
"Not here on social call." Rok Ma said.
"What?" Jack said.
"Here for child." Rok Ma said, "Registration to Shadow Proclamation."
The Doctor took this moment to walk back in, "Right, kettle's on, err… Rok, do you drink tea?"
"Like I said to him," the Judoon said, motioning to Jack, "Not here on social call. Here for child."
"Doctor, what is he talking about?" Jack asked, thoroughly confused.
"Oh, that! Right, well – I made a pact with the Shadow Proclamation. When I was to become pregnant – which is now – the TARDIS would automatically locate my liaison with the Shadow Proclamation, Rok Ma here – he's someone I can trust, you see, to help me make sure that our child is put under the protection of the Shadow Proclamation – the SP and I have never been on, ah, good terms."
"And when were you going to tell me about this?"
The Doctor frowned, "These procedures were taken before we even got together, Jack, I forgot about them until today."
"You forgot about our child's safety?"
"No – I just wasn't aware that the TARDIS would lock onto Rok so fast after our child's conceiving."
Rok Ma put his hands up in defeat, "Have created awkward situation… will talk to you later." and he walked out of the room.
They were left on their own in the console room – both fuming, the Doctor less so as his anger dissipated, "Jack, I don't want to argue. I just want to get married, have this baby and we can go to being happy again. I'm sorry about not telling you about the protection, I only remembered it this morning and there wasn't really time to tell you, considering I forgot when the morning sickness came on and now we've got a wedding to prepare for as well as a baby."
For once, Jack noticed that the Doctor looked weary and said, "You go back to bed, I'm sure I can make arrangements for the engagement party; just give me names, phone-numbers, and coordinates – in fact, does the TARDIS know who you want to invite?"
"…Yes, but–"
"Then she can help me! Look, you just go and get some rest – Captain's orders."
"Is that a play on Doctor's orders?"
"What do you think? Now," Jack said, slapping the Doctor on the bum, "get your ass in that bed!"
"No goodnight kiss?" the Doctor said
"It's the middle of the day, now am I going to have to carry you to that bed?"
"I'm going, I'm going!" the Doctor said, walking out of the console room.
Jack looking up at the big columned time-rotor running through the centre of the console and said, "Can you help me?"
The familiar whirring sound started up as the inner-mechanism of the time-rotor began its regular bobbing-up-and-down routine, and then stopped.
"What? Oh, yeah, Rok Ma." he walked out of the console room into Rok Ma's office, "Nice place you got here, same can't be said for my office I'm afraid."
"Doctor had best intentions." Rok Ma said.
"Yeah, I know – and I suppose I can't be a grouch about it, we only want what's best for our child and police protection is the best way to go about it. I really came here to say he's asleep – I have wedding preparations to make, so can we talk about this another time."
The Judoon waved him off, saying, "You're not only one who has work."
Jack walked back into the TARDIS, and as takeoff was initialized he wondered if a Judoon had just made a joke.
A/N: So, the Doctor's insecure and then he's playful. He's the amazing two-faced man! Yeah, it's just where my mind goes with it. Better get this up before I have to go to bed… I've got about 5 mins here. Please review! It was very fun and challenging to write Judoon dialogue, I had to make mistakes on purpose!
