Jack woke the next morning before the first bell rang with a fussy baby in his arms. He had been woken several times that night and had gotten up to feed her without disturbing the sleeping Time Lord. In fact, the Doctor didn't even notice as he carefully slipped out of bed going to the living room. Along the way, he retrieved a fresh nappy, and a little bit of milk in order to feed the infant and calm her. He sat down on the couch with her in his arms watching her face as he carefully provided her nourishment in the way the Doctor had shown him. After she finished eating, he burped her then changed her nappy before swaddling her once more in her blanket. Cuddling her close, he looked around the small house that had become their home while on this planet.

Soon, though, they would be leaving it all behind in search of another settlement that the Doctor was sure was out there. Jack just hoped he was right as staying alive on Hades was impossible without the help of a village and alone the three of them would be exposed to the cold and would eventually run out of food and water. The Doctor could regenerate and he would always come back to life but Carys didn't stand a chance if he died. If that happened, she would pass quickly from starvation. He also didn't know how many times the Doctor would be able to regenerate before he was left on his own in the cold darkness of the planet, unable to return to this village and unwilling to go to the caves. He shuddered at the thought, holding the baby a little closer as he just needed to feel something alive.

"I promise I will do everything I can to save you," Jack whispered softly as he kissed her softly on the head. She sighed softly in her sleep and Jack smiled kissing her again. He knew that he should bring her to his chest again but he was already starting to ache so he hoped the close contact would be enough. He just hoped it would work in time as they wanted to leave in a week and there was still a lot of planning before that could happen. Plus, neither one of them could miss work for the entire week or they would raise suspicions about what they were up to and lose the rations that they depended on to survive.

Fixing the nest on the couch, Jack carefully laid Carys to sleep as he stood up. He had a long day ahead of him as he would have to head to the mines soon to continue the tedious work. Then after work he would need to fight for additional supplies they needed for their journey again being careful to trade just enough to keep the other people of the village happy. He also planned on going out tonight after the final bell rang and everyone returned home for the night to scout out the food storage. He needed to know how many guards were on duty and if they changed throughout the night in order to know the best time to leave as they wanted to put as much space between them and the village as possible before anyone noticed they were gone. He wasn't sure if the leader would even bother to send anyone after them but they had to move quickly just in case he did. That would mean no stopping until they were positive they were a safe distance away and with no way to tell time outside the village, Jack didn't know when that would be. He also didn't know the next time he would be able to hold the Doctor and feel his body move with his again but that was something he could take care of before they set out.

Returning to the bedroom, he undressed before slipping underneath the covers again. The Doctor was laying on his side with his hair falling slightly into his face. Both of them needed to shave and have a hair cut but it wasn't something to worry about on this planet as the beards helped protect their face and Jack thought the Doctor looked good with a bit of stubble. He moved closer to the Time Lord kissing him softly on the forehead and down to his mouth. The Doctor kissed him back lazily as he opened his eyes.

"Morning," Jack whispered.

"Morning," the Doctor answered sleepily. He groaned as he felt Jack's hand slip down into his trousers taking his cock into his hand. "Jack, not with Carys in the room."

"Then it is a good thing she is sleeping in the living room and were currently all alone," Jack informed him as he continued to move his hand. The Doctor groaned and Jack couldn't help the smile that crossed his face as the Doctor rolled onto his back spreading his legs slightly to give Jack better access. Jack let go of him for a moment to help him shuck of his own trousers then returned one hand to its destination. With the other, he placed a finger no the Doctor's anus pushing it as gently as he could inside. The Doctor scrunched his nose at the dry stretch but forced his body to relax as Jack moved deeper finding his prostate.

"Yes," the Doctor whimpered. Jack continued to move his hands slowly as the Doctor whimpered and panted. He added a second finger just as carefully, trying to stretch the Time Lord and avoid as much pain as possible. His own cock was aching to be buried in the tight body so once the Doctor was relaxed he removed his fingers positioning himself. The Doctor gripped the blankets tightly as Jack lifted his legs. Using spit once more to ease the way, he pushed carefully into the prone body. The Doctor's face contorted briefly in pain and he closed his eyes as Jack held himself still.

"I'm sorry. I promise once we get to the next place I will find something that can be used as lube. Even if it is just oil," Jack reassured him reaching out to lay his hand on the Doctor's face and caressing his cheek with his thumb.

"I never thought I would miss it," the Doctor answered as a way of distracting himself. He used to hate the way the lube would make him feel slick and open but he preferred it over the pain he was feeling now. He relaxed as much as possible to allow Jack to slip in further. It was rough on both of them and he knew Jack had to be feeling it as well. Still, it was nice to feel loved and once Jack reached his prostate the feeling of pain and pleasure would combine causing him to cum with little other stimulation. He prepared to be sore for the day as Jack slowly began to move, thrusting as shallowly and carefully into his body as possible as they stared at each other in the eyes. The Doctor propped himself up slightly on his elbows claiming Jack's mouth with his own as Jack claimed his body.

"I love you," Jack whispered against his mouth. It was the first time he had voiced those words out loud but he had always known they were true. He had loved the Doctor since he had big ears and a leather coat and he loved him now. He wasn't surprised, though, when the Doctor didn't say the words back choosing to kiss him again. He wouldn't push to hear the three little words from the Doctor as he could wait until he was ready to say them. This act they were sharing was enough for him to know the Doctor cared for him as the Doctor wasn't an overly sexual man and didn't invite almost everyone and everything to his bed as Jack did. In fact, the only reason Jack didn't try to sleep with others in the village is that he knew the Time Lord cared for him and would just pretend to understand if he sought sex elsewhere. He would claim it was just Jack being Jack even if it did break his hearts and Jack couldn't do that to him.

Reaching in between them, he took the Doctor back in his hand moving it in time to his thrusting. The Doctor wrapped his arms around Jack holding him close as he buried his head against Jack's shoulder pressing his mouth to his neck. He breath was coming in quick gasps and his arse ached even as pleasure radiated throughout his body. He wanted to beg Jack to stop even as he wanted him to move faster and harder. He bit down on Jack's shoulder as he felt himself drawing near muffling his scream as his own cum covered his stomach and his body clamped down on Jack's member. The tightness and the pain in his shoulder caused Jack to fall over the edge as well. He groaned deeply as he filled the lithe body. Collapsing down, he lay with the Doctor's legs spread to the sides and his cock still buried in its tight home. The Doctor stared up at the ceiling and he ran his fingers slowly along Jack's spine.

He fell back asleep like that. His arse filled and aching with Jack covering him with his warm body. Even in a place like Hades, just knowing that Jack was there loving and protecting him made him feel safe. Even if it was only briefly inside their home.
