Jack knew that the Doctor had caved in and given Rose what she wanted, but somehow he still felt weird when they slept together. He'd taken to avoiding their room because it made him feel uncomfortable. It was almost laughable. Him, Captain Jack 'Innuendo' Harkness, afraid of what his friends were up to. Of course he knew that the Doctor had only given in because it was Rose. If anyone else had suggested something the Doctor was against they'd be shot down straight away, but not Rose. Rose had him wrapped round her little finger.

The pair had done nothing but give each other secret knowing looks all day as though they thought that Jack was none the wiser to their antics. It was starting to bug him, though he was still thankful that they were talking and not arguing as they had been. They'd even started doing that what-will-we-call-it-if-it's-a-boy-and-what-will-we-call-it-if-its-a-girl thing. The Doctor and Rose were still under the impression that Jack didn't know that they were planning to have a kid. He was starting to wonder if he had 'THICKO' written on his forehead in huge letters.

"You know I always liked the name Charlie," Rose mused one afternoon as she was reading a magazine whilst sat cross legged on the floor next to a whole that the Doctor had disappeared into.

"For a boy or girl?" Asked the Doctor not looking up.

"Boy," Rose replied, turning another page. "I think Bo's a cute name for a girl."

The Doctor didn't answer; instead he occupied himself with messing with the TARDIS.

"Are you actually pregnant yet?" Jack asked.

"No," Rose said turning red as she realised Jack had perched himself next to her.

"Oh God," Jack moaned. "So I've got to put up with this for a while then?"

"Yup," The Doctor said pulling several wires out and handing them to Jack.

"Oi!" Rose protested. "You agreed!"

"Only because it's you and I thought it might shut you up," the Doctor grinned before ducking back down again.

"You better be thankful I need you or I might just have to hurt your-" Jack covered his ears humming loudly and Rose laughed, cut short.

"D'you guys mind leaving that kinda thing in your bedroom? I've already had to move down the hall," He moaned.

"Sorry," Rose giggled.

"Anyway, you want names what about Jack?" Jack asked frowning slightly.

Rose looked at the Doctor before answering.

"It's not that we don't like the name but," Rose paused biting her lip. "We don't really want our child following your example."

"Oh, charming!" Jack said crossing his arms.

"Might I remind you that I didn't want the mother of our child to be nineteen," the Doctor said taking the wires back from Jack. "Especially after the argument you had with your own mum!"

"Yes, well," Rose returned to her magazine decisively ignoring the Doctor.

"I haven't had a proper nights sleep in over a week!" The Doctor said to Jack eyes wide.

"I don't wanna know!" Jack groaned shuddering again. "Only I'm allowed to broadcast my bed antics thanks very much."

Rose giggled again whacking Jack with her magazine.

"Ow!" Jack whined. "Stop bullying me!"

"Oh Jack grow up," the Doctor said from somewhere under the floor. "It's not like we're asking you to be present at the birth or anything."

Jack decided now was the time for him to leave. He stood up, briskly and wandered off into the TARDIS depths.

"Doctor!" Rose said, glaring at him, but smiling at the same time. "Don't torture his poor mind!"

"You love it," the Doctor said quietly.

Over the next few weeks Jack felt like he was being pushed further and further away from the Doctor and Rose. They never talked much anymore and whenever Jack tried to help he ended up being more of a hindrance.

Both the Doctor and Rose noticed how Jack was becoming isolated and hated what they were doing to him. One night when they were lying in bed together talking Rose pointed this out.

"He understands we're not doing it intentionally though," the Doctor whispered quietly.

"But we shouldn't leave him out," Rose said sadly. "He's like a brother. H should be included in what we're doing."

"Rose," the Doctor sighed. "I'm not sure I like what we're doing. I mean, don't you want to live a little before you tie yourself down with a family?"

Rose paused in thought.

"No, you've shown me how to live already," she said smiling. "The only adventure I have yet to experience is being a mum."

The Doctor smiled, so proud of how Rose saw things.

"If you're sure," the Doctor said, kissing her gently.

"Yup," Rose said. "There's probably something I should tell you…"

"What?" Asked the Doctor suddenly worried that Rose had kept something from him.

"I missed my period," she said grinning.
