Jack was bored. He never realized how watching a porn flick would make him bored. He was more into watching the others watch it. John by his side was chuckling and eating potato crisps and dipping them in a gallon tub of peach ice cream. Jack just stared at him.
"What?" He said while chewing. "Oh Leon wants the salt and Jolein wants peach. Me I want the ice cream and to be able to see my toes again." Wiggling his feet as he shoved a hefty amount of ice cream and crisps in his mouth.
"Well my friend you keep that up and you won't be seeing those little piggy's for quite some time." He winked as John stuck a food-crusted tongue out at him. "You're so gross." Jack moved away from John and grabbed tightly at one of the couch pillows for protection.
"James you keep checking you watch." Jack inquired about the doctor's behavior.
"Ah Yes, um… I do, well I was curious about the time." He was lying and Jack knew.
"Or making sure what would be a good time so you can slip away and meet Nick at Ianto's party. Well I for one think we should all do that. John can you stop stuffing your face long enough for a little support here." The response from the pregnant man was a long loud belch.
"Sorry, that was un pleasant." He winched a little. "Jolein is kicking a hole in my stomach right now. Wait, there she is." He placed a hand on his belly. "Jack come here and feel the strength that is your niece.
Jack leaned over and rested a hand on John's stomach. The warmth from John was soothing. It was a moment later that Jolein let her presents be known. Jack smiled at his friend. "God she is strong. It won't be long now."
The girls crowded around to feel the child and make a fuse. It was then that something changed. John yelled out, causing James to stop pretending to be interested and go into doctor mode.
He knelt by John and examined him. John seemed to be in a daze. He focused on James and said. "I hate to be a kill joy, but Jolein said it was time she made her presents be known to the world. This is what I get for falling a sleep with the TV on." He yelled again as he began his labor.
Jack instantly jumped up and tried to phone Mark nothing, Ianto, same, Nick and the rest dead silence. "They shut their phones off? What if it was an emergence? James you get him to the Hub with Sally and Gwen, I bet you know where they are."
"Jack I'll go get Mark, you go with them to the Hub. James my need a strong man to help him with…"
"Can it Williams, take me to this party. We have to get Mark."
"Yeah do something someone! God this really hurts!" John started panting and breathing like James showed him to do. "Lord knows he can't do this here. Mark would have a fit! We just got this couch. New smell and all, oh dear here comes another one!" This time he yelled.
"Okay John just breath." Sally coached him. "We need to get him to the SUV. Jack, go get Mark."
Jack leaned in and kissed John and told him it would be all right.
"F-you Harkeness you not the one in pain." Another howl made them rush along and move John to the SUV.
"Come on Jack. I bet you are thankful that this happened now. I had a feeling your diary entry for tonight would have been one word. Boring." She jogged in front of him during the race to her car.
"I wasn't bored, I was having the time of his life." He rolled his eyes. She giggled.
The other party:
"And then the girl slapped him and he went after her brother!" Nick shouted out slurring the punch line a bit. The room laughed, as Ianto stood by his cousin equally stoned.
"Wait Nick that was you! Wasn't it? I found her to be rather homely and her brother was a pig. You went after her and then went after the brother to get back at her." Ianto shook his head in a yes function, eyes closed and rocking back and forth to the music. "These things are fanfuckingtastic Mark. Tell John we should sell them and make some extra money on the side." Ianto removed his shirt and began to twirl around the room "I feeling no pain."
Mark was already out of pants and underwear as the popper kicked in like some intergalactic E. He was feeling very hot and extremely flirtatious. Nick was near by enough to be his first victim. As if the Jones boy heard his thoughts, well Mark may have been projecting a tiny bit, Nick jumped on the bar and proceeded to do a strip to his own rhythm. The crowd was chanting, "Take it off." And Nick did.
Rhys was trying to understand the love the woman had for the donkey when Dan fell on him. "Mark was right, or was it John, I don' know they are just one mush of man love aren't they. I mean sometimes it is hard to see where one ends and the other begins. Take Sally, and I have thank you very much. She is amazing, woman above all others and then some. Oh and here is the kicker, as the Americans say, she loves me. Can you imagine? Wow I never thought orange was so orange. Rhys may I kiss you? I can't feel my face!"
Rhys head bobbed around as he tried to follow Dan's trends of thought. When he got to the kiss. He leaned in and gave him a smack on the lips. He pulled away to see Dan making pucker noise and a fish impersonation with his lips.
"Well that was a disappointment!" Dan said to Rhys as he wandered off. Rhys shrugged and headed for the pool.
The rainbow colored Jell-O swimming pool was the most expensive part of the party. Some how Mark had convinced the Hotel Manager to come down in price. Rhys was almost sure that Mark had used a form of a Jedi mind trick on the guy to convince him it would be okay. Not only was it not okay, for the place was covered in Jell-0, but the party not only included people they all knew, but also hotel residence and passers by started to enter. Each was given a popper and a towel for the pool.
Mark and a few women and three men were currently enjoying the pool. Mark seemed to be enjoying the attention of those surrounding him. They were doing things to him that only the Jell-0 was aware of. But he was smiling. Rhys shook his head and was suddenly tossed in to the pool as a naked Ianto tackled him. Ianto was sinking to the bottom and on his way up, did something to Rhys he didn't expect. "Hello Rhys." cherry red Jell-O Ianto greeted him. Ianto kissed him. Rhys fell into it and let it happen.
Breaking away Rhys tried to shake the Jell-O out of his eyes and ears. "Ianto, I'm a married man.
He giggled very uncharacteristically. "I will be soon. With a partner like Jack Harkness, I think I'm doomed." He laughed out loud. Stealing the moment for a distraction, Ianto kissed Rhys again. " I never did it in Jell-O before. Do you want to try?"
Rhys' eyes bugged out of his head in cartoon fashion. "No bleeding way, I'm straight Ianto. Go talk to Mark or that cousin of yours that has an audience with his dance."
Ianto gazed at the bar. "Wow he does. Hey I hope we get the video before Jack and James do. It may need a little editing."
Mark swam up to the two with a beautiful blond 20 something male in tow. " Sorry the feed went direct to a computer that only John knows of. He mentioned something about black mail, Eye Candy. You are so our boy now." He slugged in between Rhys and Ianto. With little hesitation, the two locked lips and began to sink to the bottom of the Jell-O pool.
Rhys was a little worried but released he didn't want to know what was going on. This was nothing like his stag; he just wanted to go home. The blond batted his eyes and seeing there wasn't a chance in hell of getting anything off of Rhys, flitted to the other side of the pool back to the group. Rhys struggled to get to the ladder and leave the gross feeling of Jell-O that seemed to settle into every part of his outer body.
He made it out with some effort and was helped by PC Andy. "Thanks, eh, Mate. I thought I would never get out of there."
"Where are your clothes?" Andy averted his eyes.
Rhys thought for a moment. He thought some more. After a while he gave up the ghost and shrugged.
"And she married a slob like you!" He squinted his eyes at Rhys.
"Oh I love you too cup cake!" and with all the strength he could muster, he picked the PC up and threw him in the pool. Like a school of Parana, the pool dwellers swarmed Andy and dragged him to an unknown world. Rhys hoped it was a better place. He went to look for his clothes. It was a moment later that Gwen walked in with Jack.
"Hello sweet heart I was just leaving." He leaned into kiss her and then realized he was covered in Jell-O. "Sorry."
Jack looked at all the action with the face of a kid in a candy store. He was jumping around trying to decide which way to go. "Now this is a party!" He yelled over the loud music. The great coat lay on the floor and with absolute now modesty he was naked and running to jump in the pool.
" How the hell did he just get out of his clothes so fast." Rhys looked at his wife.
"It is a trick of the trade he calls it." It was Ianto that spoke dressed in a white hotel bathrobe and completely Jell-O free.
"He still has a nice butt." Mark was there as well as clean as Ianto.
"Wait you were just in the pool!" Their reaction to Rhys confusion was shown by equal Cheshire cat grins.
"Sweet heart you know how you get when you drink the hard stuff. I think we lost Jack. Any way Mark, are you ready for fatherhood. John went into labor. I'll take you to the Hub.
"I know Jolein told me she was on her way and want's me to hold her. Leon is just happy. Ianto," He held Jack's future partner and kissed his cheek. " You better do something about Nick. He is just about to do something stupid. I love you my friend."
"See you later then. I'm going to show Jack all he missed. Time he learns about the pleasures of Jell-O. Thanks Mark! I'm happy for John and you." He hugged Mark for a little longer then he thought he would. Removing the robe he padded over to the pool and joined the over enthusiastic Jack Harkeness.
"Ianto my love, come to Daddy." That earned him a face full of Jell-O. Jack didn't seem to care. Ianto just tasted good.
They passed Nick who had a crowd of followers watching his dance. Rhys retrieved his clothes and went with his wife. "I'll tell you about it later, love." He promised as Gwen shot him a curious look.
"You can watch the video later with us. Oh come on Rhys. What do you really think happened with Ianto in the pool?" It was Gwen that raised her eyebrows at the pair.
Mark smiled and looked at Rhys. He loved teasing the man. A stabbing pain in his side made him stumble a little. "We should hurry, John is sending me his Labor pains. He is pissed!"
