Ianto rubbed his belly and hummed softly as he wandered around the store.
The 'Big N Bold' store was his favourite store at the moment, his growing belly accommodated nicely by the racks of clothes for the …ahem …. Fuller figured man.
"Mr Harkness-Jones, you look awesome in those trousers" Wayne, the salesman gushed as he rushed over.
"Wayne, my man. I want some cardigans, I'm feeling the cold in my lower back, so they have to be nice and long." Ianto said with a soft smile.
"Oh wow, we have these ones over here, almost like robes. You can button them up or wrap and button, see?" as Wayne demonstrated, Ianto made the right noises.
"Do you have it in red? Or plum?" Ianto considered.
"Oh my, hello there" a voice purred and Ianto turned to find a middle aged woman practically leering at him.
"Um, hello" Ianto smiled politely.
"You are so handsome in the 'filente' design" she gushed "I knew we sold one recently in that colour but I never imagined it could look so good."
"This is Kera Dollset, the designer and tailor for this store" Wayne explained and Ianto relaxed, it was the clothes, not him that interested her.
"Perhaps you can tell me if you intend doing a waistcoat for the 'Big and Busy' suit?" Ianto asked.
"A waistcoat?"
"Yes, my husband loves me in a three piece but recently, well. I don't fit my old suits and I can't keep my fob watch with me in a two piece" Ianto waved his hand around.
"Oh. I never thought of that, not many men still wear the classics."
"I think you would be surprised, I know my husband would eagerly purchase at least three sets of three pieces in varying sizes to accommodate my growing girth" Ianto laughed.
"Well if I can take your measurements, I could work out if it can be done" she smiled.
"Um, I'll need my husband. He is very protective and even the thought of someone measuring me might upset him" Ianto wandered over to one side to call Jack and Wayne sighed.
"You're in for a treat now" he warned her, "Captain Harkness-Jones is so lovely."
Kera stood with her jaw hanging as the handsome captain swept into the store and immediately swept Ianto into a kiss.
"Cariad, this is Kera. She makes these wonderful clothes and I asked her about a three piece" Ianto explained.
The smile that was bestowed upon her was like a sun shower.
Oh, she was wet aright, but so damn warm.
She was surprised at how attentive he was, how closely he watched her hands as she smoothed the measuring tape around Ianto's belly and she could have sworn he growled softly when she knelt to do the inside leg.
"Thank you" Ianto said with a serene smile as the Captain plastered himself against his back and whispered in his ear. "No Cariad, no changing room."
Jack pouted and Ianto smiled, "Think of the fashion show at home. In our bedroom later"
Jack's pout fades and the sun came out again.
As Jack paid for the clothes Ianto had chosen, he added a pair of socks with little clocks on them.
"Cariad!" Ianto growled.
"They are soooo cute" Jack simpered, "I can nibble on you toesies in the water while bathing with you, then pop these on once I've dried them. All warm and cute."
"You big softie" Ianto grinned.
"I love your little toesies" Jack simpered some more, "your cute little piggiliy wiggiles. Oh, look! This towel is extra big, a bath sheet. What a great idea. Look, I can dry you with just one towel instead of two. "
As they left the store Jack could been seen running ahead to open the passenger door, then turn with a blinding smile to help Ianto in.
The shopping was placed on the back seat and then Jack leaned in for a searing kiss and to do the seatbelt, a tender moment kissing the bump and making sure that the belt was not cutting into the bump.
Wayne and Kera sighed as they watched Ianto stroke Jack's face and pout for another kiss.
Then the door was closed and Jack ran around to the driver's door and the SUV roared off.
"How romantic" she sighed.
"I know. He must be an attentive feeder because that poor man is getting so large."
"So handsome though, he seemed to practically glow with life."
"Yeah" Wayne sighed, "Bloody gorgeous, wasn't he."
"Yeah" she smiled, "The Captain was handsome too."
