Jack had the TARDIS wake him bright and early the next morning for work. The anti-emetic had settled his stomach and the food the Doctor had made him eat, had given him his energy back. Every since he became immortal he had required more calories in order to survive, in fact, he didn't seem to stop eating when he had the choice. The year on the valiant had zapped his energy and just when he was starting to get it back, morning sickness. He hoped the anti-emetic continued to help or there was a very real risk he would lose the baby. He didn't try to move for a moment as he realized that was the first time he actually didn't want to lose it. It was a start, not much of one but still a start. Kissing the Doctor on the head, he gently tried to shift him off of his chest so that he could get out of bed.

"I have to go to work today," Jack told the Doctor as he refused to move. The Doctor curled up more into him, kissing him softly on the neck. He was making it very hard for Jack to want to get out of bed. Jack would have loved to lay there all morning holding or making love to the Doctor, but he had a responsibility to his team as well as the entire country. Sleeping in was not an option, at least not until he had passed off the running of Torchwood to Gwen. The Doctor's hand ran down his stomach towards his groin and Jack caught his wrist pulling his hand back up before it reached its intended destination.

"Sweetheart, as much as I can't believe I am saying this, I can't make love to you at the moment. I have to get up and get ready to go to work," Jack sighed. The Doctor looked up at him with lust in his eyes, making it very hard to follow through on what he was saying. A horny Doctor was a very tempting Doctor. Jack closed his eyes, gasping as a cool hand finally met his groin while he was distracted. Quickly he pulled himself out of bed, standing beside it.

"That was playing dirty," Jack hissed under his breath. He dared to open his eyes to see the Doctor sprawled out on the bed looking up at him innocently. The Doctor's hand was on his own groin now. Jack moaned in desire. He started to climb into bed again, but the Doctor moved so he was blocking him from sitting down.

"You have to go to work," The Doctor commented raising an eyebrow. Nimbly he started to stand up, Jack grabbed him though stopping him.

"You're going to make me late," Jack informed him, as he pulled the Doctor's trousers down. He threw them to the side, positioning himself between the Doctor's legs. The Doctor smiled up at him as Jack pushed his own trousers down. He didn't want the first time he was actually inside the Doctor to be a rushed love making before he had to work. Instead, he gripped them both in his hand as he thrust against the Doctor making him moan. The Doctor came first and pulled away from Jack as he became over sensitized. He reached down between them, quickly bringing Jack to completion as well. Sated, the Doctor finally got out of bed, heading towards the shower. Jack stood on shaky legs following him.

"Will you come with me to talk to my team?" Jack asked the Doctor as they dressed from their shower. "I have to tell them about my pregnancy. I can't keep missing work and hiding from them. They deserve better than that."

"I don't know if I can, Jack," The Doctor whispered. Jack looked at him as he pulled on his pinstriped brown trousers. The Doctor was still hesitant about being around people. His confidence was growing, but the doubt he felt made it hard to remember that at one time he could turn armies around just by being present.

"I will be right by your side the entire time Doc. I just need to know that you will be by mine too," Jack explained. The Doctor nodded. They finished dressing and went to the TARDIS door. Jack was hungry but he wanted to wait until after he had talked to his team to eat. After all he was already late for work due to the Doctor's early morning escapades. Stepping out into his office, he reached back squeezing the Doctor's hand in his. The Doctor gripped his hand back, reassuringly as Jack opened his office door.

"Where the hell have you been?," Gwen snipped as Jack exited his office. The Doctor was a step behind him and slightly taken aback by Gwen's attitude, but Jack just brushed it off. He deserved to be yelled at due to the fact that he had just taken off again, with no note and no explanation.

"In the TARDIS sick," Jack answered her, unaware that she had spoke to the Doctor the day before.

"You don't get sick," Gwen spat. "I told him the same thing yesterday." Jack glanced over his shoulder at the Doctor who shrugged.

"I do now, in fact, we need to talk," Jack told her loudly. It had the desired effect as his entire team turned to look at him, except for Ianto. Ianto stood up walking out of the room heading down towards the cells. Jack let him go. "There is no easy way to say this than to just say it. Both the Doctor and I are pregnant."

"That's impossible," Owen laughed.

"It is impossible now, but by the fifty-first century it won't be," The Doctor answered surprising Jack.

"Due to my pregnancy, I am unable to die and revive without risking the child. Therefore, I am temporarily stepping down as head of Torchwood," Jack started to say.

"That's not necessary," Gwen interrupted him. "You can still lead Torchwood. I will take care of the field work side of it and you can take care of all the paperwork." Jack smiled at her. He had tried to retcon Gwen when she first arrived at Torchwood, but now she was an invaluable member of his team. He owed all of them a raise and a vacation.

"Thank you, Gwen. Now, I am going out for a little while. When I get back I will answer any questions you may have," Jack informed them. Stepping away, he took the Doctor's hand in his leading him towards the exit. The Doctor dug his feet in, not wanting to go with him. Jack stopped, turning to look at him. "We have to face the world again sometime. I faced my fear of telling my team, it is your turn to face your fear and join me for breakfast."

"I'm not afraid," The Doctor told him firmly.

"Then you will have no problem walking down the street with me to the little cafe on the corner," Jack replied. Seeing that he was trapped, the Doctor took a deep breath as he followed Jack out of the safety of the hub and into the cool Cardiff morning.
