Jack was worried about the Doctor. After falling asleep, he had slept until mid-afternoon. They both rejoiced when he tried to connect to their daughter and she responded. The response was lazy but it was there. The Doctor ate and then fell back asleep. Over the next few days he only bothered to stay awake long enough to connect with the baby, eat and then go back to sleep. Jack could tell he was falling into a deep depression and he was desperate to stop it.
He came into the Time Lord's room bright and early the next morning. He brought him a cup of tea, toast with a full jar of marmalade and several bananas. He woke him softly with a kiss on the lips.
"Good Morning." Jack whispered as the Doctor opened his eyes and smiled.
"Morning," he kissed Jack back reaching his hand up to caress the side of Jack's face. Jack kissed him more passionately, slipping his tongue between the Time Lord's lips. The Doctor moaned as Jack kissed him deeply. Jack moved to lay on the bed, facing the Doctor and held him as he kissed him. The passionate kiss was interrupted though as Jack felt a small kick from the Doctor's stomach and the Doctor burst into laughter.
"Oi," Jack complained.
"Be nice to your father," The Doctor scolded gently through his laughter, as he linked with her and let her feel his humor over what happened. He moved to sit up against the headboard as Jack reached for the tray of food. He had included a spoon for the marmalade but the spoon was ignored as the Doctor opened the jar and started to dig in with his fingers.
"After you've eaten, I've also brought you my laptop. It is connected to the Torchwood hub and you can do research and go through the artifacts." Jack explained. "It can also message my computer if you need me."
"Thank you," The Doctor said, as he reached for the laptop and flipped it open. Jack left the room and the Doctor started to explore the contents. He found that Jack had also hacked into UNIT and that the file on him had been turned into a dating profile. He was a little embarrassed to find that Jack had also included several provocative photos of himself. He backed out of the file and turned towards the artifact archive information. He knew a little of what was in there but he also was curious to see what Jack had hid from him.

Jack was working on paperwork that had built up when suddenly he received an urge to check on the Doctor. He tried to ignore it. He could feel the Doctor clearly through the bond and the Doctor was content at the moment. The urge got stronger though, until he couldn't continue to fight it. He set down his pen and flexed his cramping fingers before standing up to check on the Doctor.
When Jack walked into the room, he had to fight to keep calm. Spread out on the bed in pieces, was his laptop. The Doctor was sitting in the middle of the mess with his glasses on and his sonic out as he held a piece of the motherboard and was studying it.
"Ah Jack. I need a few things." He motioned to a list that was sitting near him.
"You called me through the bond, didn't you." Jack accused him and the Doctor didn't deny it. Jack walked over to the bed and picked up the list. He was practically seething looking at his almost £3000 laptop broken down to its main components. He glanced down the list and saw that it had the basics of a computer and a few components from the 32nd century he had locked down in the vault. At the bottom of the list was a request for tea, a jar of peanut butter and jammy dodgers.
Getting angry wasn't going to solve this but it didn't stop him. He took the list and walked calmly out of the room before punching the wall in the corridor. The TARDIS hummed angrily at him and blasted him with cold air.
"Sorry girl." Jack apologized as he stroked the wall. She shocked him in reply.
"Jack be nice to my TARDIS," The Doctor called out from his bedroom.
"You kick her," Jack seethed as he stormed back into the bedroom. The Doctor took off his glasses and set the board aside. He gently rubbed the wall and the TARDIS hummed at him.
"She knows I don't mean it." The Doctor said.
"Why did you take my computer apart?" Jack sighed.
"I am fixing it for you." The Doctor looked at him confused. "You have the components to make it so the computer connects to the TARDIS and I can transfer information directly from the hub into her data banks."
"But that was my computer. I put a lot of work into it. In the future I would appreciate it if you asked before you just started taking things apart." Jack snapped.
"I'm sorry," The Doctor hung his head and started to gather the pieces back to him. "I'll put it back together."
"No, don't worry about it. I will get Ianto to buy me a new one. Finish what you are doing." Jack advised him. He was still angry but it had dulled down. The Doctor was showing interest in something for the first time in days. He left to get the Doctor the components he had asked for and to send Ianto to get him a new computer and top of the line upgrades for it. He returned to the Doctor with the components and the snack he had requested.
The Doctor had moved the pieces to the edge of the bed and was laying on his side, with his back to the door. Jack carefully probed the bond and found the Doctor was awake but he had given into his depression again. Jack set the pieces down and went around the bed and knelt down in front of the Doctor.
"Do you want to get out of bed for awhile, go to the hub and help me upgrade my laptop?" Jack asked.
"Martha said I had to stay in bed."
"Screw Martha." Jack grabbed the Doctor's hands and pulled the surprised Time Lord to his feet. "You can get plenty of bed rest out in the hub."
"Can I still have my jammy dodgers?" The Doctor asked as Jack unceremoniously pulled a pillow case off one of the pillows and then filled it with the computer pieces.
"You can. Also I had Ianto stock the kitchen for any sort of weird carving you might get."
"Oooo did he buy Flake?" The Doctor's eyes lit up.
"Don't tell me you want flake with Jammy Dodgers and peanut butter?" Jack groaned and the Doctor nodded happily.
"Yes, the baby thinks that sounds good." The Doctor grabbed Jack's arm. "To the kitchen Jack, Allons-y!"
