The cellar of Torchwood was old and full of damp and clutter. Ianto agreed to taking the task of searching for some type of buggy than to change his bosses Nappy. He sat on a crate and wondered if he would ever get his captain back. A tear trickled slowly down his face, and he wiped it with the corner of his suit. He stood up firm, and sniffed in "I can't let him see me like this" he thought "he will be worried". He brushed himself off and straightened his tie and grabbed the Childs buggy that he had found under some sort of gloop.
"Did you find one?" Gwen tickled an un-amused Jack as she spoke
"Yeah it was at the bottom of the bloody cellar, typical!"
"Why the hell do we have a buggy?"
"Owen got drunk once"
"explains it all" Gwen laughed "Can't believe they've gone.." Gwen trailed off
Jack's cry broke the awkward silence in the hub, He'd had cramp in his foot for ages now but couldn't sort it out
"What's wrong??" Ianto panicked, Jack simply attempted to put his hands on his hips ,but ended up falling back on his bum "Sucks!" is all Jack could manage. He was just getting so tired. Everything just seemed so much heavier like he was being drugged, if only he thought.
"Okay then Mr let's get you in here" Jack was now wobbling back and two trying to keep his eyes open. Ianto smiled and picked him up and held him against the warmth of his suit. Jack was asleep in seconds. Ianto couldn't help but smile, He hoped for him and Jack to have a family. One day, maybe adopt. Wait he was thinking to far ahead of himself, the matter at hand was that they needed to help Jack. He didn't like seeing Jack as a quitter but in this case there was nothing else for him to do apart from quit. His body was far weaker than his old self, he doesn't have a lot of function with his voice and lets face it Jack lives to speak. He placed Jack gently in the buggy and smiled at Gwen.
"Right lets go and get this poor lad some clothes" Ianto smiled.

The town was relatively busy which made it hard to dodge everyone with the buggy. Jack had awoken since he fell asleep in the hub. He felt so odd being in the buggy it was like the Tardis for toddlers. He had to say he was getting a lot of attention from the females maybe this baby thing wasn't all that bad after all.
The first shop they came to was Marks and Spencer's as they knew Jack only wanted the best. They came to the toddler section and Jack pointed out the things he liked best. He chose a white and blue striped t-shirt, some denim trousers and a toddlers pair of sunglasses. Ianto went to the desk and paid for the Jack's clothes. £25! for one outfit!! He came back with a disgusted look on his face and put the bad on the back of the buggy. They walked through the doors when the detector started bleeping. Ianto looked frantic he hadn't taken anything!
"Can you empty your pockets please" the security man looked stern at him as Ianto emptied his pockets. Nothing. He lifted the sheets in the pram to find a pair of silver handcuffs with pink fluff attached to it. The security looked at Ianto while Jack burst into hysterics in the pram.
