Jack awoke to the cool breath of the Doctor against his neck. He opened his eyes in relief to look at his sleeping lover. The Doctor was slightly pale, compared to normal and his skin felt warmer to the touch. He was alive, though, and that was all that mattered to Jack at the moment. He had feared for the Doctor's life as the Doctor became sluggish before giving birth. Then his dreams had been filled with the Doctor passing away, leaving him to take care of their babies on his own. Thinking of the babies, he kissed the Doctor on the head before easing himself out of his arms so he could sit up.

The incubator was still right next to the bed and inside he could see both babies were sleeping soundly as well. He reached out placing his hand on the top of the incubator as he stared at that their little miracles. He had fought keeping his daughter for a long time and now that she was here, he felt nothing but love for her and the urge to protect her. Both of them.

"While you two were sleeping, we feed them again and changed their nappies, but you can hold her if you want to," Martha advised softly seeing that he was up. "The incubator is just to help them maintain their body temperature until they are a little bit bigger. They are both on the colder side, but I suspect that has more to do with their Time Lord side then a problem with their circulation."

"How are they otherwise?" Jack wondered as he didn't move.

"Healthy. I have a small concern with her." Martha motioned to the Doctor's baby. "Her lungs aren't as developed as her sisters so we are going to keep a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't develop any breathing problems that are common to premature babies." Jack nodded carefully easing himself off the bed. Martha moved a chair over for him and he sat down gratefully, not wanting to move that far yet. She then adjusted his IV so that it wasn't accidentally pulled out as he held the babies. She opened the incubator bringing out his little brunette first handing her to him. Once he had her tucked in his arms, Martha handed him the second baby.

"The Doctor's going to be ecstatic to find out that she is ginger," Jack smiled as he saw the little whisp of strawberry red hair under the hat. Jack's brow furrowed in concern as he looked up at his lover again. "How is he doing?"

"He is running a low-grade fever and his vitals are still off. I have added anti-biotics to his IV to help his body fight off any infection he might have or be developing. When he is awake I will run a full examination, but right now the TARDIS has advised that it is best to just let him sleep," Martha informed Jack softly.

"But he will be fine, right?" Jack wondered.

"Yes, his body just didn't do as well during the pregnancy as yours did. Even if circumstances hadn't sent you both into premature labor from worry and stress, I suspect he would have given birth early anyways," Martha told him. The ginger baby began to fuss and Jack handed Martha the second one so he could tend to her easier. Martha took her holding her for a moment. "Have you decided on names for the little ones?"

"The Doctor wanted to wait until after they were born to pick out names. I managed to get him to discuss it yesterday for a short time, though. The little one that you are holding is going to be Cerys while her sister is going to be named Kui'la. We have also decided that they are going to have my last name of Harkness. Now that they are born I will have Ianto draw up the birth certificates," Jack informed Martha. He cuddled the baby closer for a moment. She had gone back to sleep, so Jack gently laid her back down. Martha followed suit and then closed the incubator to make sure the babies stayed warm. Jack yawned looking over at the bed as he considered laying down again.

"I know you probably don't want to discuss at at the moment but have you thought about what you are going to do about Rose?" Martha wondered changing the subject as she ran through the babies vitals. Jack sighed. She was right he didn't want to discuss it even if he needed to.

"No. The Doctor has promised me that he is going to stay with me even if she does return. I do love Rose and would love to see her again, I am just worried that her return will remind him how much he has missed her. I don't want to lose my family again," Jack told Martha. Martha came over to him giving him a hug. He wrapped his arms tightly around her, taking comfort in the gesture.

"If he leaves he is an idiot. I don't think he will though Jack. It is obvious how much he loves you and was looking forward to having a family with you. You just have to trust that he will make the right decision, even if she does return," Martha whispered. Jack nodded. He did trust his lover, just not when it came to Rose. He released Martha wanting to be near the Doctor again.

"I need to lay down," Jack told her. He stood up moving back to the bed. Carefully he climbed back on it, settling down beneath the blankets. The Doctor didn't wake as he moved closer to Jack, seeking the warmth Jack's body provided. He laid his head on Jack's chest with a sigh followed by a soft snore.

"Do you need anything?" Martha wondered as she fixed the IV once more. His was almost empty and as soon as it was gone she was going to take it down. The Doctor, though, would have to keep his for another few days at least. He wasn't going to be happy about it and so they were going to have to watch him to make sure he didn't try to take it out constantly as he had a strong aversion to the IV. Why? Martha wasn't sure, but she had already had to stop him from picking at the tape in his sleep.

"Just sleep," Jack replied snuggling down into his lover.

"Rest well," Martha told him moving away from the bed as he closed his eyes. He fought going to sleep as he worried about the Doctor, the babies and Rose returning. Opening his eyes again, he made sure that Martha was gone before reaching for the monitor. Pulling it close he had the TARDIS begin searching for any anomalies in the London or Cardiff region. If Rose was returning, there should be evidence of it as she broke through the walls separating the universes. He just hoped silently that he didn't find it.
