Chapter 2: Doctor's Visits Can Be Interesting

Owen dragged himself out of bed and slowly dressed; he looked at his clock and saw it was only ten at night, throwing a shirt on he decided to just get it over with. Jumping into a cab he sat back and waited until it pulled up to his destination Owen paid the driver and waited until he was gone before taking the invisible lift into the hub. "Jack…what's up that you dragged me out of bed?" Owen called as he looked around and saw the mess. Rushing up the steps to Jack's office the young doctor found his boss sitting in his office his mouth resting on his folded hands. "Thanks for coming Owen, have a seat…we need to talk about something, something that is beyond secret… if you so much as utter a word of this to Tosh or Gwen I will break your neck and then I will use any means I can to bring you back to life then I'll do it again. Is that understood?" Jack asked as he watched Owen nod.

"Listen Owen… in the fifty-first century; men are going to be able to become pregnant, and when I became ill earlier I used the ultrasound machine in the autopsy bay. If I was doing it correctly it was saying I'm having twins… I want you to run all the tests you can right now and keep all the information hidden," Jack said as he slowly got up from behind his desk. "I'll take some blood and run a couple tests; I assume Ianto is the father?" Owen asked going into doctor mode and taking mental notes he didn't see the sad look on Jack's face. "Yes…there is no one else I have been with," Jack said coldly as he walked back to the exam table and lifted his shirt back up so Owen could examine him, soon Owen had the first heartbeat back on the monitor and after a moment of searching he found the second heartbeat he was in shock that what Jack had told him was true. "You really are pregnant… well you should get started on some vitamins and you need to switch your diet from the usual stuff you eat to a more healthy diet that means no more caffeine, no more pizza or take out, you'll need to increase your fiber, and cut back on the calories," Owen said as he started to write his notes down in a note pad.

Jack cleaned himself off again and put his hands in his lap, his hormones getting to him again when he thought of going through his pregnancy alone. "I… miss him so much, Owen… what am I going to do without him, how can I raise two kids that are going to look just like him?" Jack asked softly as he tried to keep from crying again. The young doctor who always seemed so cocky was at a loss of how to react, he had never met a hormonally pregnant man before and it was all new to him moving closer to Jack and put a comforting arm around him, before Tosh and Gwen get here tomorrow I'll erase any CCTV footage of this, I don't need them thinking I've gone soft. Owen thought as he waited for Jack to pull away. "We'll be here for you and we'll help as best we can, but right now you need to sleep on something better than that cot in your bunker, come on you can stay at my place tonight you can have my bed I'll sleep on the couch. Just go pack a few things and we'll go," Owen said as he finished his notes and locked them in his desk drawer.

The young doctor watched as his boss walked back to his office He's a wreck with Tea-boy not being here and now kids this is starting to play out like some bad American soap opera, next thing you know Ianto's going to someday come strolling back in here claiming he was in a coma and then things are going to get cheesy. Owen thought as he grabbed his phone before going up to Jack's office. "I'm almost ready I'm just checking rift predictions for the rest of the night, I've already packed a bag so we can go as soon as I'm done," Jack said looking at the read outs, when he was done he turned his desk lap off and followed Owen out of the hub. "I never knew how dead this area got at night…" Jack remarked as he watched Owen try to hail a cab for them, he chuckled as he raised his arm and gave short whistle as a cab pulled up and parked beside them.

After a short cab ride Jack found himself standing inside Owen's place "Not too shabby," Jack remarked as he walked around the living room looking at the knickknacks that Owen had all over his shelves. As he busied himself in the kitchen Owen poked his head out into the living room "My room is the last door on the left, get some rest and doctor's orders say that you'll be going into work late tomorrow only after you have a decent breakfast," he said as he ducked back into the kitchen. Jack gave the living room one last look before he made his way down the hall and into the master bedroom. After stripping to his boxers Jack crawled under the covers and put a hand over his stomach protectively. "If Ianto were here right now I wonder what he would say about being a father. You two are all I have left of him and I will cherish every little breath you take when you're born and grow," Jack whispered softly as he closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

As he made a stiff drink Owen sat at his small kitchen table and downed it quickly and looked out the window. "Tea-boy if you are still alive then, you really deserve to have a good arse kicking for making him cry like this… or it could be the hormones that are making him like this." Owen said softly as he looked at the glass in his hands. "Where the hell could you be Tea-boy if you are alive?" Owen asked as he put his glass down and made his way down the hall to check on his patient, as he opened the door he found Jack asleep on his bed hugging of his pillows in a death grip and talking in his sleep.


Ianto Jones, the mild mannered administrator of Torchwood, was at a loss. He had been trained to everything from administrative duties to making sure Jack kept his hands to himself at work. But nothing prepared him for psychologically dealing with traveling back through time; it had happened so fast that he wasn't even sure how it happened. The last thing I remember is the accident and then I felt like I was being thrown through ice water and when I woke up I was here… Ianto thought as he looked at the alien device in his hands before putting it back into his pocket as he looked down the empty road.

Jack must be going out of his mind with worry; he must think I'm dead if he couldn't find me… Ianto thought as stood up and made his way down the street. "How am I going to get home, that is if I ever get home…" he whispered softly as he kicked a small stone and watched it as it bounce down the street. He then saw it bounce off the base of a bright blue box; Ianto looked at the box and began to walk by it before he froze and spun around.

"It…it… it's a blue box…a blue police box… it's a blue police box…" Ianto cried out as he ran over to it and ran his hand over the wood paneling "I can't believe it I'm standing in front of the famous Tardis owned by the Doctor," Ianto almost squealed in excitement. Now he could get a ride home back to his time. Going to the door Ianto began to bang on the door until he heard the door unlock and begin to open. A man stood before Ianto in a brown pinstripe suit and a brown trench coat. "Hello, can I help you?" the man asked looking Ianto over.

Shaking his head Ianto practically threw himself at the time lord in front of him. "You're the doctor… and this is your spaceship and I need your help to get back to the twenty-first century where I belong," Ianto said silently praying that he would be able to get back to Jack. "Well do you have a name mystery man? You who claim to know me," the Doctor said looking Ianto's clothes over. "I'm Ianto Jones I work for Torchwood with Jack Harkness and I have to get back to him," Ianto said hoping to not be left behind in the past.

The Doctor looked Ianto over once more "I'm sorry but I can't… I have to do a couple things and also I can't let Torchwood get a hold of this ship," the Doctor said as he walked out of the Tardis and shut the door behind him. Ianto grabbed the time lord by the lapels of his jacket and shoved him against his ship "I don't care… I have been in an accident, thrown into the past by some strange alien artifact and my friends and family probably think I'm dead right now… I won't let them suffer anymore, so you're going to open that door and take me home," Ianto said his eyes filled with fire.

Nodding slowly the Doctor quickly opened the door and let Ianto into his ship and saw a shocked look on his face. "Now I know what you're going to say it's bigger on the inside than the outside," the time lord said as he watched Ianto walk around the console. "It's not that I'm just so shocked that this place is such a pig sty. How can you travel through time and space in such a vast ship and let it get to this level of filth… you're almost as bad as Jack!" Ianto remarked as he ran a finger over the console revealing a large trail in the dust. "May I ask how you are able to survive Jack if he's so bad?" the Doctor asked looking at the young Welshman. "It's a daily battle, one I intend on winning some day," Ianto said with a smirk as he leaned against the railing and watched the other man walk around the console.

"You said that you two work for Torchwood, is that how you got stranded in seventeen seventy-six America?" the Doctor asked as he turned a few dials. Nodding Ianto looked at the green tower in the center; to Ianto it was hauntingly beautiful. "This ship can take us anywhere and any when, If you want I could show you around the cosmos, take you to the future or the past…"the Doctor offered as he stroked the console a bit. Ianto shook his head. "No thank you, I need to get back home… if you could take me back to an hour after the accident that would mean a lot to me," the Welshman requested thinking back to how worried Jack was about him going to London in the first place. "Now get this ship started and take me back, I miss Jack and the others… you have to take me to Cardiff, Roald Dahl Plass," he said softly as he sank to the floor and put his head against his arms.


Soon the Tardis vanished from the street corner and they were traveling through time. When they landed a few moments later the Doctor looked over at Ianto. "Here we are, the day after the accident," the Doctor said as he turned the Tardis down, walking over to the door and pulling it open. "I recognize this place, we're parked on the rift… so you say Torchwood is nearby?" the Doctor asked as Ianto walked out of the police box. Ianto smiled as he looked up at the sky before looking at the ground below his feet. "Yeah we're standing right on top of it actually," Ianto said as he led the Doctor to the into the tourist center and down the elevator, punching in the code for the cog wheel door while he heard the familiar alarms blare.

Jack looked up from where he was sitting in autopsy talking to Owen about his report; he knew no one had left the hub so no one should be returning. As he walked up the stairs to where Gwen and Tosh were sitting he heard Owen walk up behind him. When the door fully opened Jack swallowed hard when he saw Ianto stroll into the hub. "Ianto…you're alive…where the hell have you been? It's been two weeks since the accident I lost hope that you were still alive, " Jack said as he rushed over and hugged Ianto in a death grip that he stopped as soon as he saw who was with him...it was the Doctor. Jack pulled away from his lover and stood in front of him.

"Right…two weeks, looks like I over shot the accident a bit…" the Doctor said rubbing the back of his head as he looked at Jack. Before anyone could stop him Jack pulled back his fist back and punched the time lord in the face sending him back against the cog wheel door. Owen grabbed Jack and pulled him back. "Calm down Jack…you know you got your personal tea-boy back now go to him and don't let him go," Owen remarked as he pushed the captain toward Ianto. Ianto smiled when he saw Jack look at him "You have no idea how much I missed you Cariad," Ianto said softly as he walked over to Jack and hugged him again. Jack felt his hormones take over as he started to cry into Ianto's shoulder. "I'm not letting you go on any more solo jobs ever again," Jack sobbed.
