In the middle of the night Ianto sneaked out of bed. He was really hungry and craving to eat a marmite and jam sandwich. Because of his condition he kept eating really weird things. Once he found himself eating a bowl of tomato soup with marshmellows in it! He hoped he'd been quiet enough so as not to wake Jack up and alert any more suspicion. They hadn't talked but Ianto was still really worried about what Jack knew. Still, if he said it would be OK then maybe it would. But he would wait for Jack to say more before he said anything.

He started cutting the crusts off his sandwich. For some reason crusts made him feel really sick now. Then he raised the sandwich to his lips and anticipated the tastiness. He was startled by a hand on his shoulder. He jumped a foot in the air.

"Quick midnight snack eh?"

It was Rose. She had a knowing smile on her face.

"My tummy was rumbling," Ianto said quickly. His face was blushing scarlet and he knew he looked guilty as sin.

"I bet. So marmite and jam? That sounds a little bit... er... unusual."

"It's delicious," he replied. "Want to try some?"

"Er no thanks. Actually it's quite a serious conversation we need to have, Ianto. Shall we sit down?"

"Can I eat my sandwich while we talk?"

"I don't see why not." Rose said. They sat down on the kitchen table. Neither of them said a word, they just looked at each other. Oh God thought Ianto what does she want? Might she know?

More silence. Finally Rose broke it.

"I know you're pregnant," she said bluntly. Ianto felt like his whole world had collapsed. I've tried so hard to keep it a secret he thought.

"How did you...?" He blurted.

"It's not my fault. I didn't try to find it out or anything like that. What happened was that I still have a telepathic link with the TARDIS because of what happened to me. She knows you're pregnant. In fact she found it out, didn't she? But I found it out because she whispered it to me, I don't know why. It happens sometimes... it's just... weird."

Tears were running down Ianto's face. This was one of the worst things that could happen, his secret being revealed. By a blabbermouth time machine no less! But at the same time he felt strangely relieved, like he could finally talk to someone about this. And maybe Rose would know more about his condition. Maybe she would know why it had happened and what was going to happen.

"It's true" he sobbed. "I don't know why or how and I just couldn't tell anyone because it's probably wrong and it's probably a disgusting alien or something..."

"Shh, shhhh it's OK," said Rose and she put her arm around Ianto. "The TARDIS says it's a healthy baby and she's never wrong. So why don't you tell your husband and everything will be OK. You can enjoy your baby together."

"I.... I..."

"There's something you should know," said Rose in a more serious tone. "Donna and John read your diary on the computer." (Rose called 10.5 John. It sometimes annoyed him that he had so many names. He liked Handy best anyway!)

"Oh my god! So they know too?" Once again Ianto was worried. It felt like his stomach was full of slithering snakes.

"No they don't," said Rose. "I covered for you. They think I'm the one whose pregnant."

Ianto leapt up and hugged Rose. "Rose, you're a STAR! Thank you so much."

"Not so fast there... I want you to tell Jack. He'll be happy, he really will, I promise you."

"OK I will. But let me have a chance to think about how to tell him first. Please!"

"OK. By the way, you have jam all round your mouth."

They laughed and went back to their rooms.

June 6th

Well Rose knows my secret. She thinks it's great! Which is kinda weird because I thought everyone would think it was sick and wrong. But maybe it isn't. Maybe it really is good. I can feel my baby moving inside me now. It's funny but I have a really strong feeling that it's a little girl. I can imagine her now. She'd have Jack's beautiful blue eyes, of course. I hope she has curly hair!

I can even imagine Jack holding her now. I will tell him tomorrow! Rose has made me feel so much better about everything. She really is brilliant.

~Jack's diary~

June 6th

I was awake when Ianto left the room. I was awake while he wrote his diary, I could hear him tapping away on the keyboard. I was definitely awake as he slipped into bed beside me and kissed me. I could smell food on his breath. That's good I suppose, that he's eating, but I know it's all part of his horrible problem. I wish he'd talk to me about it. It's like an invisible wall between us. I just want to make everything OK with him but how can I if there's this distance between us? I know that because of my friend I can't just confront him with what I know. That will make things worse.

The thought of my precious Ianto wasting away breaks my heart though. I love him far too much to risk losing him. But what can I do?

Jack wiped away a single tear that had slipped down his smooth cheek. He climbed back into bed with his husband and wrapped his arms tightly around him. "I love you so much and I'm going to make this better" he whispered, breathing in Ianto's sweet woody scent.

~The next day~

Jack got up first. "I'm off to make breakfast, darling" he said to Ianto.

"Wait," said Ianto as he turned over in bed. "I need to talk to you about something really important."

Jack held his breath. Maybe Ianto would finally talk! "I'm all ears," he said and cupped his hands behind his ears and waggled them like an elephant. It always made Ianto laugh. It did now.

"This is weird," Ianto said. "It's really really weird and I don't know quite how to explain it. See the thing is, I've been being sick a lot recently. I think you might have noticed. I... I thought I was ill, maybe even dying. So I didn't tell anyone. But recently I found out what was wrong. As it happens, there's nothing wrong with me at all..."

"Oh," Jack said. Ianto clearly isn't ready to cope with his eating disorder, Jack thought.

"But something is happening. I don't know why or how but... but... oh there's no easy way to say this so I'll say it. I'm pregnant, Jack!"

"You're WHAT????"

"Look," said Ianto. He pulled up his pyjama top and showed Jack his round little belly. Jack touched it softly and reverently. Tears were rolling down his face. Big tears of happiness.

"Oh Ianto, this is the best thing in the world! I love you so much!"

June 7th

Well Ianto's not dying. In fact it's the opposite of dying. There will be new life! That's right! I'm going to be a daddy. And Ianto's going to be a daddy! We're going to be the first gay couple to have a child of our own! I am so excited I could cry. I want to find a rooftop and shout out loudly "I am married to the best man in the world and he is bearing my child!!!"

I don't care if it's weird, I don't care what people think. Me and Ianto are going to have a baby of our very own. I'm already thinking of names. A nice Welsh name, I think, like its daddy. Oh I don't know. It's so exciting!! I am the happiest man in the world!!!!!!!! No scratch that. I am the happiest man in the whole universe!!!!!!!!

~Ianto's diary~

June 7th

He's... he's happy. Like, genuinely really happy. I told him and his face broke into the most beautiful smile. It was the best thing I have ever seen. He climbed into bed next to me and put his hand on my belly and just touched it for ages. "This is our baby in here, a symbol of our love" he said. And it is. She is. Our little curly-haired daughter with vivid cerulean eyes. We talked a little bit about how it would work. Would we leave the TARDIS and go back to Cardiff? I'm not sure if I want to raise our child in Cardiff, she might grow up to be... dull. And a baby that comes from me and Jack could never be dull. But if we keep raising her on the TARDIS her life will be dangerous. Mind, it's the life we chose and I think we could keep her safe. I don't know at all. Jack says we should talk to the Doctor. But first we should celebrate! He's watching me write this and I can see a twinkle in his eyes...

~Breakfast time~

"Where's bloody Dorian Gray?" Donna raged. "I'm bloody starving!" (A/N Dorian Gray is this story about this guy who never ever aged and had lots of sex. A bit like a certain Captain Harkness hehe).

"Him and Ianto are still in bed. Best not disturb them eh?" said the Doctor. Rose smiled quietly to herself. Maybe Ianto had finally told Jack! Maybe they were reparing their relationship. But that would mean... Her train of thought was interrupted as Jack and Ianto walked in. Their arms were around each other.

"We have an announcement," Jack announced.

"I suppose we'll finally find out what was up with them," Handy whispered to Donna.

"We're pregnant!" Jack and Ianto chorused.

"Well, to be more precise, Ianto's pregnant" Jack said.

"But it's our baby. Ours! We're having a baby!" Ianto continued.

The Doctor spat his coffee across the room. Donna and Handy looked dumbstruck. Ianto and Rose BOTH pregnant?? There must be something in the water!

"What? What? WHAT?" shouted the Doctor. "This is unheard of! Really, truly making medical history." He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and moved towards Ianto. Ianto and Jack covered his belly protectively. "No, no, this won't hurt it. I just want to see! To study it! This is brilliant!" The sonic screwdriver whined. "Amazing," muttered the Doctor. "You are indeed pregnant with Jack's baby. Congratulations guys!" He stood up and shook their hands.

"I think we need a little more than a handshake for news like this," Jack teased.

"Quite right, quite right, hugs all round!" The Doctor threw his arms around the happy couple. Donna and Handy stood up and joined in. Rose stood up slowly. Her sickness was making her weak. "Come on darling, let's join the happy couple," the Doctor said to her.

Slowly she walked towards them. She was dizzy and the room was spinning round and round. Her knees began to wobble. And then blackness.

Rose fell on the floor. The Doctor ran to her and touched her.

"Oh God, she's not breathing!"


Is Rose OK? WHAT'S WRONG?

I Won't be continuting until I get more reviews so spread the word and stuff!!!!!!
