Martha went to get Tish and Jack disappeared for a moment while the Doctor finished dressing. As he pulled his suit jacket on, he decided to forgo his tie. Opening the curtain he saw Jack holding out two of the antibiotics as well as medicine for his head. He took them from Jack gratefully. Jack handed him a cup of tea to wash the medication down. He took a long drink of it as Jack watched him.
"You could have told me you weren't feeling well," Jack chastised him as he drank. He lowered the cup.
"I have a headache. I get headaches more often in this body than any other previous regeneration. It is because of the regeneration sickness I had and the fact Rose woke me up early after my regeneration went wrong. It really is nothing to worry about Jack and most of the time they go away without causing me any problems," The Doctor explained to him.
"And when they don't?" Jack questioned. The Doctor sighed.
"Then I take medication and lay down," The Doctor replied. Jack narrowed his eyes slightly. He opened his mouth and the Doctor knew that he was going to suggest the Doctor did exactly that. The Doctor wasn't going to make Tish suffer anymore. His comfort could wait so that he could treat Tish's arm. He walked closer to Jack, kissing him softly. "After I get done fixing Tish's arm you can help me bathe and then I promise I will lay down. I have to help Tish first, though. It is my fault she is hurting."
"What can I do to help?" Jack wondered, knowing the Time Lord wasn't going to change his mind.
"In the store room there is plaster for a cast. Would you mind grabbing a couple of rolls as well as a Saline IV?" The Doctor asked. Jack turned to head towards the store room and the Doctor went to his medicine cabinet. He pulled out two different medications and brought them over to the bed they were going to be using. He had just finished pulling the blankets back when Martha came in with Tish. It was obvious that she had been crying by the tear stains on her cheeks as well as her red eyes.
"Just lay back right here Tish," The Doctor told her. She climbed up on the bed sitting stiffly. The Doctor visually examined the cast looking for any reason it could be hurting her. He checked her capillary refill and found it was fine as well. She had no swelling that could be compromising her arm. Jack came back in with the IV and he hooked it up for her, having Martha insert the needle. "I am going to give you a painkiller now as well as a sedative. I don't want you to fight them, just relax and go to sleep. When you wake up your arm will be feeling a lot better," He promised.
He injected both the pain killer and then the sedative into the cannula on the IV. Martha held her hand while her sister fell asleep. Once she was out they got started. The Doctor used his sonic to cut the cast and they cracked it, carefully removing her arm. Her arm was black and blue from bruising along the elbow.
"She told me she didn't fall or bump it," Martha told the Doctor as they looked at the bruise.
"This wasn't the cast I put on. When did she have it changed out?" The Doctor questioned as he had the TARDIS run a CT and MRI.
"Last week when we went to the hospital for a follow-up," Martha told him. "The doctor changed out the cast and removed the staples in her arm.
"The cast was too tight. It is causing a pressure sore on her elbow which is the source of her pain," The Doctor informed Martha. Martha swore under her breath. She had told Tish's doctor she was in pain. He thought she was being over sensitive since Tish was her sister. "I am going to put an ointment on her skin to help it heal as well as extra padding around her elbow. I will also give you painkillers and you can take the ointment with you to treat her. I am correct in assuming you don't need directions on how to treat a pressure sore?"
"I can take care of it. I am just grateful that you listened to me," Martha told him. She helped him clean Tish's arm then with Jack's help the three of them recast her arm correctly. Tish was sleeping soundly for the first time in days and the Doctor decided it would be best to let her sleep. Martha agreed. She wasn't going to leave the TARDIS until tomorrow and would let Tish sleep through the night. Her old room was still ready for her and Tish could sleep in the medi-bay.
"It's bedtime for you Doc. Say goodnight," Jack whispered in his ear. The Doctor glared at Jack.
"I'm not a child," He scowled.
"Sleep well Doctor," Martha chuckled. Jack tugged him gently on the arm as he stared at her open mouthed. He followed Jack down the hall to their room. As Jack closed the door behind them, he immediately starting stripping his suit off. Jack grabbed a pair of pajamas out of the closet for him, laying them on the bed, then sitting down next to the clothes.
"I need a shower first," The Doctor told him. "I didn't like Martha touching me."
"I know. She was just doing her job, though. We asked her to make sure our daughters were healthy and she is doing exactly that," Jack replied. He grinned up at the Doctor happily. "We are having daughters."
"I always wanted a daughter," The Doctor told him with a smile. "Maybe she will be ginger too." Jack shook his head as the Doctor disappeared into the shower. He didn't take a long shower as he just wanted to wash the feeling of Martha off his skin. The shower didn't help much so he returned to Jack. He sat down naked on Jack's lap, kissing him softly on the lips. Jack ran his hand to his groin and soon he was moaning Jack's name.
"Oh Jack," He whimpered, burying his head against Jack's neck and nipping softly at his skin. As his release approached, he turned his body so that he was holding Jack close to him. He pressed his mouth to Jack's shoulder, screaming as he fell over the edge, then sat trembling in Jack's arms. Jack picked him up, moving him up to the top of the bed. He tucked the naked Time Lord beneath the blankets. Sitting on top of them, he snuggled the Doctor close as he drifted off to sleep. Once he was sure he was asleep, Jack left the room, going to look for Martha. It was rare for the two of them just to be able to sit and talk. Now with both Tish and the Doctor asleep they had time for exactly that.
