Jack sat by the Doctor's side as an hour passed and the Time Lord remained deeply unconscious. Jack was worried by the fact that during the hour, the Doctor hadn't moved or showed any signs that he was alive beyond the slow steady breathing. Grabbing the energy reader again, Jack tested his blood to find that his energy levels still remained far too low. He regretted not listening to Martha and taking the Doctor to the medi-bay as she asked. At least then, she could have treated the ailing Doctor properly. Now he was going to have to ask Owen for help and trust that Owen remembered the little training that he had received on the Time Lord's unique biology.

Before he was able to stand up, though, the door to the room opened. The last person Jack expected to see again tonight walked through the door making her way over to the bed. She didn't look at Jack as she took the Doctor's wrist in her hand, using her watch to check his pulse. She let his arm go and reached into her hand pulling out her penlight. She lifted the Doctor's eyelids one by one seeing his pupil response. She then reached over and picked up the vials that were sitting on the bedside table. She added more of the Doctor's energy medicine to the IV before pulling a fresh syringe out of her pocket. She measured out a small dose of the potassium injecting it into the Time Lord's shoulder. Capping the syringe, she put it back in her pocket turning to head towards the door.

"Martha," Jack finally spoke up breaking the silence. She paused in the doorway turning to look at Jack. "Thank you."

"I'm just doing my job," Martha answered her voice flat.

"No, you've always done more than that. You brought two of my children into this world, saved the life of my little girl and helped my husband despite your anger. You have been a friend and a loyal employee throughout the years and you have helped make Torchwood a better place," Jack told her as a way of apologizing.

"The Doctor's body is already weak due to the injury on the back of his head. He is barely able to use his left side. Having sex with him to the point of exhaustion wasn't the smartest thing that you could do and leaving him in his room just because you don't want to upset him isn't intelligent either. If you don't want to upset him, then I will bring Owen in here to carry him back to the medi-bay so that you can honestly tell him you weren't involved in taking him back," Martha stated. Jack sighed. While he trusted Owen, his husband was long and lanky. He didn't want Owen to accidentally hurt his lover more by carrying him to the medi-bay. The only one that Jack trusted to carry the Doctor was himself and Martha was right, he belonged back in the medi-bay regardless of how angry he got when he woke up there.

"No, I'll take him," Jack replied. Getting out of bed, he went around it. As carefully as possible he took the Doctor into his arms lifting him off the bed. He gently cradled the Doctor to his chest making sure to rest the Time Lord's head against his shoulder. Martha returned to his side, taking the IV stand in her hand. Together they walked the short distance to the medi-bay where Jack laid the Doctor on one of the beds. He covered the Doctor's nakedness up to his waist while Martha set to work. She put an oxygen reader clip on his finger and electrodes on his chest. She took his energy levels again, unhappy to see that they hadn't risen but knowing that she had to give them time to come back up. Jack started to take a seat down on the side of the bed.

"Your daughter is still waiting for her bedtime story," Martha stated. Jack paused looking at his watch. It was over two hours past the children's bedtime. He trusted Tosh and Gwen to put them to bed when he didn't return but apparently Kui'la had other ideas.

"I'll be back soon," Jack promised. Making his way out of the medi-bay, he went down the corridor and out of the TARDIS. He found Tosh sitting in the hub holding his daughter on his lap. To his surprise, it wasn't Kui'la but Imogen who was awake and waiting for him. She had tear stains down her cheeks and her thumb was in her mouth as she cuddled with her aunt. Jack made his way over to her. As he reached out for her. Tosh opened her arms allowing Jack to take her and he brought her up to his shoulder. She wrapped her free arm around his neck leaving her thumb in her mouth.

"Kui'la and Grey both went down easily over two hours ago with a promise of extra stories tomorrow. Immy, though, has been fighting sleep and I have tried putting her down several times resulting in tears and her making her way back out to the hub to find me," Tosh explained.

"My poor baby," Jack cooed. He leaned his head against hers, thankful to find that her temperature felt normal. "I will take you to your room and rock you as I tell you a story as you fall asleep. Is that alright?" She nodded against him as Jack carried her into her room. Taking a seat in her rocking chair, he told her a story about princesses and princes spinning a story based mainly on fiction. Finishing, he listened to her breathing evenly. He stood carrying her to her bed starting to lay her down. Her eyes immediately opened as she burst into tears again.

"Oh, Immy what's the matter," he cooed. She didn't answer him, not that he expected one as he cuddled her close again. Putting her to his shoulder again, he took a seat in the rocking chair once more slowly rocking her as he told her another story. She refused to settle holding tightly to him. Giving up, he took her with him as he returned to the medi-bay.

"She can't sleep?" Martha questioned as Jack entered.

"I don't know what's going on. She starts crying every time I try to lay her down," Jack informed Martha.

"Is she sick?" Martha asked.

"I don't think so. I just think she is having a bad night and normally the Doctor would take her but right now he can't. I am just going to sit here and cuddle with her until I am sure she is asleep and then try to lay her down again," Jack explained.

"And how well has that worked for you so far?" Martha wondered. Jack just rolled his eyes at her. "The Doctor is stable if you want to lay her down for a cuddle. Just make sure not to lay her on any of the wires."

"I won't," Jack agreed. He waited until Imogen was almost asleep then laid her next to the Doctor's right side. She didn't immediately wake up again as she cuddled next to her daddy drifting off to sleep. With his husband and children are taken care of Jack climbed up on the next bed over. His body was exhausted from sex and he needed to sleep for a few hours to recover. Trusting Martha to keep his family safe, he closed his eyes drifting quickly off to sleep.
