Jack had eventually decided that the sooner he spoke to the young Welshman the better. He would just have to suffer the consequences later. Having had a quiet word with Ianto to see him in his office when he had a spare minute, Jack had gone back into his office and had started attempting to go through his paperwork. He wondered if he could actually could get credit by 'pretending' to read and sign but no matter what his problems were, he was still the boss and had to be constantly in charge and if he lapsed in his duties then the others would follow, the others being Owen naturally. Having gone through the fourth page of a lengthy document, Jack didn't know whether to sigh in relief or tense when he heard the familiar knock on his office door. Ianto. It took him half a minute to actually form the words 'come in'.
Ianto came into the room with a hot steaming mug of coffee in his hands. "Thought you would like a fresh mug Sir, your drink has gotten cold from earlier…since you wanted to be left alone" Ianto told him, placing the mug on Jack's desk. Jack eyed the mug with longing before bringing his attention back to Ianto, catching the 'sir' almost immediately. He noticed that Ianto always used the term Sir when he was angry or hurt with him, Jack figured at this moment of time, it was the latter. A pang of guilt fluttered in Jack's heart but he ignored it for the time being and just blamed it on the hormones that were taking over him like a flood. "Thank you Ianto. I'll…skip the coffee at the moment. Its making me feel a little nauseous at the moment" he replied in explanation, just managing to stop his stomach from flipping from the aroma of coffee. "Nauseous? Something must be wrong, you never turn down coffee" Ianto smirked, but the concern in his blue eyes was there, something that made Jack realise how much the young Welshman cared for him.
Jack glanced at the door, which was slightly ajar and frowned, "do you think you could shut the door Yan? For privacy" Jack added in way of explanation at Ianto's look. Ianto looked a little thrown for a second but nodded and moved to the door, closing it until it clicked shut and then slowly turned around, studying Jack. Jack gestured at the chair in front of his desk and gave Ianto his best attempt of the Harkness grin, though it had dimmed a few watts with what was on his mind. "Sit down…we need to talk" he started as Ianto sighed and sat himself down. "What have I done now Sir?" he asked quietly. Now it was Jack's turn to be completely thrown off as to what to say. "D-done? Ianto, you haven't done anything" he spluttered. Though that wasn't completely true was it? Ianto had done something, but not on purpose…how the hell was he going to get through this? Taking a deep breath and pushing his fears down, he literally sunk back against his chair before taking a breath.
"A few months ago, do you remember the night that I took you up on one of the highest roofs? It was an attempt of a romantic date….the moon, the stars and the music?" Jack began, watching as Ianto eyed him suspiciously but relaxed as Ianto gave him a little smile, "and the rain and us covering under one blanket…no actually I caught a cold after that adventure…is there a point to this story?" Ianto asked with a raised eyebrow. Jack rolled his eyes at his young lover's impatience and nodded, "I'm getting to it. Its just me warming up to it ok?" he replied. Ianto took a breath and nodded, motioning at him to continue. Jack nodded in gratitude before reaching for his coffee and taking the tiniest sip that he could manage before pushing it away from him, he didn't want to push the sickness. "Well you and me got up to our usual….anyway, Ianto…I have no idea how to tell you this and even if you'll believe me but…you know how I'm from the fifty first century?" he asked, searching Ianto's eyes and trying his best to read him even as Ianto gave him another suspicious look. "Yes, I can remember that story. What has it got to do with our date Jack? You're not leaving us again are you?" Ianto suddenly asked, his eyes narrowing at his older lover. "What? No, of course not! Why would I?" Jack shot back, alarmed. "Because this seems to be leading up to something and why wouldn't it be with you leaving? You left before, you left me before to go with your precious Doctor!" Ianto snapped at him. "Ianto, no! Its nothing like that…listen, I….Ianto,…alright, honesty! You want that? Ok, I'm pregnant!" Jack told him. Ianto just looked at him in shock, his mouth dropping open like a fish. "P-pregnant? You can't…you're…oh god, this is a joke isn't it?" Ianto stuttered, getting up slowly then sitting back down as he felt his legs decide that they didn't want to support his weight for the moment. "Oh god…no" he murmured.
