The Doctor awoke early the following morning. He groaned and ran his hands over his face as he remembered what he had agreed to yesterday. At the time he just wanted them to be quiet so that he could get some sleep. But he couldn't back down now. If he ran and hid he would just be putting off the inevitable. He pulled the pillow tighter to him and felt Jack shift in the bed. Jack's strong arm wrapped around his waist and pulled him close, so his back was rested against Jack's chest. Jack wrapped his leg across the Doctors, successfully trapping him. Jack kissed the Doctor on the head before a snore indicated that he was still asleep. The Doctor giggled to himself. He lay there content in Jack's arms, letting the warmth of Jack calm him.
When Jack finally rolled over again, he stood up and stretched heading to the shower. He planned on having Jack mark the place on his back where Martha needed to insert the needle. He shuddered at the thought of it and then stepped under the shower. After washing, he dried off and shaved, before exiting the bathroom, still naked. Jack was coming back in to the room carrying two cups and he saw the look of lust in Jack's eyes as his eyes examined the Doctor's body. He sat down on the bed and pulled the blanket over his lap, before accepting the cup of tea and the small bag of pills that Jack pulled out of his pocket. He noted that there was only the vitamins and the nausea pill today.
He took them as Jack sat down on the edge of the bed next to him, and crossed his legs.
"Did you sleep okay?" Jack asked.
"Fine," he replied.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like I wish Martha would get here, so we can get this over with." He laid his head on Jack's shoulder and felt Jack tense. He kissed Jack on the neck. "I need you to mark my back so I don't have to explain it to her."
"Okay," Jack squeaked.
"Problem? If so I can get her to, or Ianto."
"No, no problem," Jack said quickly. The Doctor raised an eyebrow at Jack and licked Jack's neck. Jack's breath caught as the Doctor looked at him.
"Your hormones are high." He said matter of factly.
"What do you expect?" Jack scoffed. "Your sitting naked on my bed and kissing and licking my neck."
"I was seeing if there was something wrong and you've seen me naked before."
"Not on my bed." Jack responded and the Doctor shook his head.
"Humans have no control." He stood up letting the blanket fall and pulled on his trousers before heading up the stairs and coming back a few minutes later with a chair and a black marker. He handed the marker to Jack and then straddled the chair. He leaned forward and grabbed the back of the chair, while arching his spine slightly. He let go with one and hand and pointed to a spot on his back. "Mark where my hand is." He instructed Jack.
He felt Jack's lips press against his spine first, before the marker. Jack made a dot and then circled it just in case. "That it?" Jack asked him.
"Yeah." He responded as he relaxed again and turned around to sit correctly on the chair. "Now Martha gets to torture me."
-DW-
He had waited anxiously for Martha to get to work that day. Every other day Martha seemed to arrive early but today she had taken her time. He had been pacing Jack's office, before Jack told him to find something else to do. He headed down to the TARDIS and was on his back removing a deadlock chain, when he heard footsteps. Looking up he was relieved as well as unhappy to see that it was Martha.
"How are you feeling today?" She asked sitting down in the pilot seat as he returned to his work.
"I kept down toast this morning." he responded.
"That's good." She said happily. "Ready to get this over with? Jack says you were driving him crazy with your pacing this morning."
"In just one..." He pulled and the chain came off in his hands. "Got it." He held up the chain for Martha to see.
"How many does that make?" Jack asked, announcing his presences, as he came over to give the Doctor a hand up.
"Twenty."
"Good haven't found the rest then." Jack smirked. The Doctor had been reaching for Jack's hand but with that he placed his hand on the ground and pushed himself up.
"Ready Martha," He asked as he exited the TARDIS and went down to the autopsy room. He glared at the instruments that Martha had laid out near the bed. He let her weigh him and check his temperature, eyes, ears and hearts again while sitting in the office chair, before he took off his shirt and climbed up on the table.
"You see the dot in the middle of the circle. That is where you need to insert the needle." He explained.
"It's higher than on a human." Martha acknowledged. "Is the rest the same?"
"About, the give will be a little bit harder, so you may have to use more pressure."
"Are you ready?"
"No, but I don't have a choice."
"You have a choice and you agreed I could do this." Martha sighed. "Do you want to stay sitting up or do you want to lay down."
"I'll sit up."
"Do you want me to get Jack to hold your hand?" She asked and he barely nodded his head. "While I get him, you go use the bathroom."
He went to the bathroom, like she instructed and when he returned he climbed up on to the table again and took Jack's hand. He leaned forward and held the position as she cleaned his back.
"Alright, I am going to numb the area a little first." She told him. She carefully numbed his back. "Now I need you to remain perfectly still during this next part." He felt the pinch of the needle entering his back again. He closed his eyes and Jack gently caressed his hand with his thumb. It seemed like a while before Martha withdrew the needle again and placed a small bandage over the mark.
"There we go all done." She said. "Now I want you to drink plenty of fluids and relax for the next two hours. No working on the TARDIS. Do you understand."
"Yes," He grumbled.
"Jack I expect you to make sure he listens." Martha said.
"And where will you be?" Jack asked indignantly.
"I am going over to the unit base. They have better computers to analyze the spinal fluid." She responded as she retrieved her coat and put it on.
"You could use the TARDIS," The Doctor said, as he turned around to lay down.
"I would feel more comfortable using UNIT's, so I don't have to learn how they work. I will use the TARDIS later to run the DATA with your help. Now get some rest."
"All I do anymore is rest."
"You also complain a lot." Martha kissed him on the cheek. "If you helped me half as much as you complained, I am sure we could solve this. Think about that." She straightened up. "I'll be back and I mean it, when I said you better rest."
"Yes Ma'am," he saluted as Jack squeezed his other hand.
"I could help you relax," Jack flirted.
"Stop it." He looked at Jack and saw the fear, rather then lust in Jack's eyes. He turned his gaze back to the ceiling.
