Two days had passed and things had gone back to normal at the resort. The Doctor still shared Jack and Ianto's bed, snuggled against Jack at night breathing in his unique scent while Ianto's hand rested against his side. They had returned to the resort without discussing anything and though they really needed to talk, they had fallen back into the comfortable familiar silence. They didn't have sex. Even Jack hadn't tried to initiate it knowing they wouldn't allow him to indulge until they were sure that the birth control pills he was taking had taken effect. Instead, they played games quietly as the telly played films in the background. Their silence together was only interrupted by the Doctor's daily run and the occasional of others coming and going from the TARDIS.

The Doctor didn't bother to look up from his game of chess as the TARDIS door opened late in the afternoon on the second day. Not only were Donna and Lee stepping off the TARDIS in the evenings to relax while Joshua slept but Martha was now stepping off as well at times now that he didn't need urgent care, giving the family time alone. He could easily beat Jack in three moves if he wanted to. Instead, he moved a second piece that would still allow him to win but give Jack a chance to beat him. A throat clearing caused him to look up and he saw that Donna was alone standing nearby.

"Yes, Donna?" the Doctor asked pleasantly. It was nice to see her as they hadn't been able to spend a lot of time together recently. She was busy with Lee and Joshua while he had Jack and Ianto.

"Can we talk?" She wondered.

"Of course. Just give me one moment to finish beating, Jack," the Doctor answered.

"That confident you are going to win?" Jack questioned. The Doctor nodded.

"Seven moves," The Doctor told him. Donna waited on patiently while the Doctor beat Jack in seven moves just like he predicted. Jack wasn't upset by the defeat as he had yet to beat the Time Lord at chess. That was alright because later they would play a game of his choosing and he would enjoy winning. At least he hoped he would win.

With the game completed the Doctor stood heading to the door to the beach. On the way, he passed Ianto who was lounging in an armchair reading a book. Ianto reached out his hand to him and he took it squeezing it briefly as he took Donna outside. They walked a short way from the resort to the edge of the water. The Doctor picked up a rock skipping it across the waves as he waited for the bad news.

"Lee and I have made a decision about where we would like to live," Donna informed the Time Lord. The Doctor kept his face as blank as possible as he waited for her to continue. He always knew that Donna would leave him one day but a part of him had hoped that she would stay. That she would travel with him forever just like many had promised but none could actually give him except Jack.

"And," The Doctor wondered.

"We want to stay with you aboard the TARDIS living among the stars, at least for now," Donna answered. A small smile crossed the Doctor's face.

"Yeah."

"Yeah," Donna replied. "We discussed it at length and Lee and I agreed that we would never be completely comfortable living in each other's time. Lee is used to the comforts of technology and I can't even change a plug. One day we might find a place that we can call home but for now, we decided the best idea was to stay aboard the TARDIS traveling with you."

"I would love for you to stay but you have seen first hand the dangers I encounter while traveling. Joshua is too young to defend himself from those dangers or to run when necessary," the Doctor answered finally turning to look at her. He wasn't opposed to Donna and Lee staying with him. He had never traveled with more then a couple of people in the past and now it looked like he would be traveling with at least five, possibly more if Martha decided to stay and any of them had more children in the future. The thought should have terrified him but he welcomed them. It would be nice to have the TARDIS full for a change rather than empty as he traveled on alone.

"I know the dangers involved in traveling with you but we agreed that Joshua will be safe aboard the TARDIS. One of us can stay inside with him until we are sure it is safe then allow him to explore," Donna replied. The Doctor wrapped an arm around her and she hugged him close. He couldn't help his happiness that Donna was staying. He looked forward to spending time with Joshua. He could help teach him the love of the stars and why it was important to laugh at archaeologists. It would also give Jack a chance to be with his son and watch the little boy grow up.

Their conversation complete, the Doctor turned away from the water walking along the beach with Donna. They talked about nothing in particular as they enjoyed each other's company for a while. It was a much-needed break for both of them from the worry that they felt constantly over their loved ones. Joshua was still at least a week away from being released from the medi-bay but the Doctor had no plans to leave the resort just yet. They would stay as Jack and his child healed then once they were all ready they would return to their travels among the stars. Circling back, the two of them returned to the resort with Donna disappearing onto the TARDIS. Jack and Ianto were laying comfortably on the bed together and the Doctor had no problem climbing up on the bed with them. Jack lifted his arm and he snuggled next to the Captain as he shared the good news that his friend was staying.

"Are you alright with her staying?" the Doctor asked Jack.

"I am. I would still like to be apart of Joshua's life even if I won't be raising him. At least now, I will still get to see him every day and maybe I can even help to teach him a few things," Jack responded.

"I am worried about the kind of things you would teach," Ianto spoke up. His voice sounded serious so it took Jack looking at him to figure out that the Welshman was teasing him.

"I won't have to teach him how to flirt, Ianto, after all, he is my son and has fifty-first-century genes," Jack explained. Ianto leaned forward looking at the Doctor. The Doctor raised an eyebrow chuckling. He still didn't regret his decision to have Jack carry the baby, even if he did grow to be a walking flirt like his sire.

"Just be thankful there aren't two Jacks in this universe," the Doctor teased.

"I don't think the universe could handle it," Ianto laughed. His laugh turned into a sigh as Jack ran his hand up his leg resting it on his groin.

"Just imagine the things we could do to you, though," Jack flirted as he gave a gentle squeeze causing Ianto to moan. He could feel Ianto hardening in his hand and he pushed his luck by reaching back for the Doctor. The Doctor allowed him a whimper escaping his own lips as the Captain rubbed him through his trousers. There was no reason why they couldn't have sex now as long as they took precautions. He leaned up nipping Jack's neck as Ianto's hand moved to unbutton Jack's shirt. Together they worked on undressing him as they were quickly heading towards sex. The Doctor sent the TARDIS a mental note to keep the other's onboard and she hummed through him reassuring him that she would.

"I want you both inside me," Jack whispered as he started to remove Ianto's clothes.

"One at a time?" Ianto clarified and Jack shook his head no.

"Together," Jack replied. Ianto looked at the Doctor and he nodded. They finished stripping off their clothes and Ianto laid back on the bed with Jack straddling him. He stared Ianto in the eyes as the Doctor moved behind them. Using his fingers he carefully opened Jack's body, then helped guide Ianto's member inside. Using extra lube, he gently pushed his finger in beside Ianto feeling the stretch. Jack held still the stretch burning but he wanted this. He wanted to feel both his lovers moving inside him as one. So he breathed through it as the Doctor added a second finger.

"Ready," The Doctor wondered as Jack loosened.

"Yes," Jack agreed. He reached for Ianto's hands holding them as the Doctor lined himself up. It took quite a lot of pressure to slip himself into the tightly filled hole. As he did Jack gasped in pain his eyes closing as he squeezed Ianto's hands. The Doctor paused running his fingers along Jack's spine as he waited for the Captain to adjust. Only then did he push forward slowly. He thrust shallowly proving friction for him and Ianto as the Welshman took Jack's member into his hand. He moved his hand at the same pace and as Jack loosened the Doctor moved faster. Jack found his release first, falling forward as the Doctor continued to move. The Doctor was next as he fell over the edge deep in Jack's body. He held still as Ianto moved finding his own release less than a minute later. They both pulled carefully out of Jack's body their releases following as he collapsed down on Ianto. His arse hurt but he would do it again just to feel the two men moving within him. The Doctor laid down next to them wrapping his arms around Jack.

"Your turn next," Jack slurred sleepily as he eyed the Doctor.

"Just rest and we'll see about a second round later," the Doctor told him. Jack nodded a yawn escaping as he lay sated with his loved ones.
