Tosh sat at her computer, trying yet again to hack into UNIT's database in order to retrieve their files. Owen sat in the autopsy bay There was a loud smacking sound and Ianto's outraged exclamation.
"Sounds like the Captain stepped on Tea-boy's toes again." Owen muttered, checking Glib once more. Gwen snorted leaning back in her seat.
"I wonder what he did that has Ianto angry. I mean I've very rarely seen Tea-boy pissed, so it would have to be something pretty big." Tosh nodded, chewing her lip as she continued her battle with the computer. Gwen kept prattling on.
"Maybe Jack had a secret lover." The technician roller her eyes.
" I seriously doubt that. And Ianto would know anyway Jack has never been able to hide anything from him before." And now that they can read each other's minds, the captain will have no secrets. Owen laughed.
"Maybe Jack is pregnant. That would certainly mess with Tea-boy." Both women looked at the doctor with matching expressions of abject horror.
"What kind of a sick fuck are you?" Gwen hissed, Owen looked at her quizzically.
"What? It isn't like it's not possible. We all know that Ianto has boned Jack more than once, and our 51st century captain is capable of carrying a kid." Tosh shifted uncomfortably in her seat, but Gwen just laughed.
"Alright, you had me there for a second, but that's ridiculous. Jack is a bloke! Last time I checked, unless it's a special circumstance, ta man could not carry a child." Owen grinned, his lips curling over his teeth.
"Well our captain here is a special circumstance." Gwen opened her mouth and then snapped it shut, unsure of how to process this information.
"So you're trying to say that Jack Harkness could get pregnant?" Owen sat back.
"I'm not trying to say it, I am saying it." Gwen covered her mouth, unsure of what to say.
"Gwen, relax, I highly doubt that Jack is pregnant. There is enough estrogen in the rain to keep him from conceiving. Captain irritable probably just pissed off UNIT and Ianto has to fix it. Nothing major." The slight flitter in her voice belayed her doubt. In truth, the more the technician considered it, the more plausible the thought became. Could their Captain be pregnant?
