Even if Jack didn't feel hungry when they first entered the diner by the time they left together they had finished his plate of food, the Doctor's toast, both bananas and several pieces of pie. While they ate they discussed the repairs that the TARDIS needed as well as several modifications the Doctor wanted to make in order to fix her properly. Since Jack was there to help and the Doctor really didn't want him to go, he was going to take the time to make repairs that he kept putting off.
"Ready to go back?" Jack asked as the Doctor finished his third cup of tea. The Doctor looked at the empty plates, making sure there was no food left before nodding.
"Yep," he popped the p on the end of the word. Jack got out of the booth first, heading to the register to pay for their meal. The Doctor went out front to wait for him. They walked almost side by side as they started down the streets. More people were out now, making the Doctor slightly uncomfortable. They needed to buy food to take with them to the TARDIS, but the Doctor didn't want to stay in the crowds. Jack took his hand, leading him into a store. The Doctor grumbled under his breath, not contributing to the shopping besides a bunch of bananas, a few containers of tea, milk and sugar. Jack bought a few other items before they finally returned to the safety of the TARDIS. Once there the Doctor immediately disappeared underneath the console while Jack put the shopping away.
"Nice hot cuppa?" Jack offered as he returned to the control room. The Doctor poked his head out from underneath the console to accept the drink.
"Thank you." He smiled as he took a sip. He set it on the Captain's chair. Jack went around to the other side of the console, removing a panel before disappearing underneath as well. Changing fuses and replacing wires was a tedious task and Jack soon found his mind wandering. He tried to focus on the work and not the child growing in his stomach. It was impossible though as he wondered if he should keep the baby. With the Doctor being pregnant as well, he could give birth and then leave the baby with the Doctor to raise before returning to Torchwood.
*Or we could raise our children together,* A small voice in his head reminded him. The Doctor had asked him to stay. Even before he knew that he was pregnant as well. The Doctor wanted him and if Jack walked away this time it would be his choice. This morning he would have left to be with his team again. Now, he wasn't as sure. Reaching a stopping point in his work, he stood up and replaced the panel. What he really needed at the moment was a hot shower and a moment to clear his head.
"Doc I am going to take a shower do you need anything?" Jack wondered. His reply was a soft snore. Jack chuckled as he knelt down to find the Doctor sound asleep. Jack gently shook his shoulder to rouse him. "Let's get you to bed."
"I'm not tired," The Doctor mumbled as he rolled on his side to get more comfortable.
"No, you're exhausted," Jack informed him. Carefully he helped pull the groaning Doctor to his feet and lead him to his bedroom. The Doctor tried to collapse straight back onto the bed, getting more and more irritated with Jack as Jack made him take his shoes off first. Then Jack made him climb under the blankets rather than just sleep on top of them like he originally wanted. The irritation didn't last long as once again he drifted off to sleep. Jack thought about forgoing the shower and joining the Doctor in bed for half a moment before heading to the bathroom.
Undressing he stood naked in front of the mirror and stared at his body. When he had died aboard the Gamestation he had been in his peak physical condition. His body was leaner and healthier than ever due to running with the Doctor. Ever since he was brought back as an immortal he was able to maintain that with little to no effort. He tried to picture himself with a pregnancy stomach but found that he couldn't. The last time he had been pregnant was before he met the Doctor. He had gained weight all throughout his body which he worked hard on losing once the child was born. He often regretted not raising his son. His son had been better off with his mother though and not the ex time agent turned conman he had become.
Jack got into the shower, turning the water on hot. One thing he loved about the TARDIS showers was he didn't have to wait for the water to heat up and it was the perfect temperature as it hit his body. Upon leaving the Valiant yesterday, he had stood under the shower for almost an hour trying to rinse the dirt and grime from his body. Even now he still didn't feel clean. He doubted he ever would again. Not as long as he was carrying that man's child. Jack sighed. The Doctor didn't want him to abort the pregnancy, but he wondered if he could sneak into the medi-lab and take the pill without the Doctor's knowledge. He could claim that he just lost the child and the Doctor would never know the truth. Then he could return to his life at Torchwood and pursue his budding relationship with Ianto.
*Leaving the Doctor alone?* The small voice questioned him.
"He'd deserve it," Jack replied out loud. The Doctor had left him ankle deep in Dalek dust after he died in order to give the Doctor more time to stop them. Yet Jack still loved him. Feeling more confused than before his shower. Jack grabbed the shampoo, he lathered up his whole body, rinsed off and then turned off the water. Getting out the shower he dried off, pulling only his boxers on. Picking his clothes up, a gold ring fell out of his pocket, landing on the floor. Jack felt his blood grow cold as he realized it was the Master's ring. He didn't remember putting it in his pocket, but he wanted nothing to do with it. Grabbing it, he threw it in the loo, watching the water wash it away. Feeling slightly better, he went into the Doctor's room and crawled under the blankets with him. He just needed to hold someone for awhile to feel another heart beat with his own. He cuddled the Doctor close to him. The Doctor wrapped his arms around Jack holding him back as together they slept.
