Jack arrived home to collect Ianto for the Fete, his morning work done and as he called out for Ianto to shake his tail feathers he opened the fridge to check what goodies are in there. He chose a snack, closed the door and stood gaping at the man walking towards him in the prettiest dress.. er … coat he had ever seen.

It was militarial grey, it had medals on it like it was a dress coat but it went all the way down to his calves, the trousers underneath were the same material and instead of boots, he was wearing comfortable shoes. But there was no sash, no belt, it seemed to move like it was a fucking vehicle.

He looked huge, insanely preggers and at the same time… still so sexy.

"Ianto…"

"Do you like it?" Ianto asked, "I can unbutton it and then you can see the shirt, it's so comfortable."

Jack watched the huge coat waft out like it was suddenly a cape and the shirt inside was a delicate blue, now hugging the belly. Ianto pulled a face "too much?"

"Are you kidding? Business on the outside… sweetness in the inside…. Baby, you're having my baby" Jack gushed.

Ianto rolled his eyes.

"Come on lover, let's not forget I still wanna put a ring on it" Jack stepped in close, his hands sliding over the bump as his mouth moved in to find Ianto's. The kiss was sweet, and their child moved under his hands like she was happy too.

They arrived at the huge space vessel repair hanger the fete was in, in case of rain and in these parts you do NOT wanna get caught in the rain. They exited the Hover and Ianto adjusted the coat as it was chilly by the huge doors, letting Jack place an arm around him as they walked toward the tables. Since the storm and rebuild there had been a flurry of activity to create this happy day, a time of celebration. Ianto plastered a smile on his face as he was moved into the flow of people.

They moved around the tables, stopping at one where Alice was working for her school, the artworks of the children were amazing and Ianto instantly knew which one was hers, reaching out to pluck up the pretty starscape "Look Cariad. It's perfect for the nursery."

"Oh, yeah. You think Bub will like the stars?" Jack asked, unaware that the painting was hers.

"I think it is so realistic, calming" Ianto replied, looking past it at the teenager who was now puffing with delight.

"Well, I like it. I think it is strong and at the same time… yeah. Reminds me of the quiet times in the Black. Wow. So…. Yeah. Good word. Strong." Jack smiled as he canted his head like Ianto had.

Ianto let him pay, watching Alice preen with delight as she assured them she would be home once they cleared up after things were finished.

"Nonsense. You have your Hover, take your time. Just be home intime for tea darling" Ianto said smoothly "We trust you. Besides, I bet you would be a boon helping get some of this stuff back to the school afterwards."

Alice nodded as she agreed, going away to serve another person.

As they moved around Ianto became warm so he unbuttoned the coat letting it waft back and Jack was the one who enjoyed the staring and whispers more than Ianto, their child making waves all over the place.

"Oh, how cute. Look Cariad" Ianto gushed at a stall with little handmade teddy bears.

"Awwww…. Yeah. So, what colour do you think for our little incoming beast?" Jack asked picking up a bright orange and a soft pink one to wave in each hand.

Stephen had joined them and was picking through the teddies with gusto, turning to show Ianto ones he had found.

"Actually… the lavender and purple ones are more her I think… oh goodness…. Is that …. Do you have one with a glittery thread Fen?" Ianto gasped "Look Cariad. So cute."

"We'll take it" Jack said grandly, another purchase made.

Ianto let Stephen have the coat now to carry like a footman, walking confidently with his silky shirt clinging, the bump leading the way and the PREGGERS screaming from him. People were moving out of the way automatically, Ianto was simply mowing through them like a bloody icebreaker.

Jack found himself giggling as he felt the amusement from his mate, Ianto deliberately making people uncomfortable with his pregnancy on display, stopping before a stall with a quiet couple of men who were still laying out their goods.

"Oh, silversmiths. Wonderful, you have rattles?"

One of them looked up, took in the belly then the male voice, letting his eyes travel up to the warm smile. Then he straightened up and showed his own smaller bump. The two Dams grinned at one another as Jack caught up and looked as well "Oh wow. Look Fen darling, another preggers one. You are both amazingly pretty."

Cue blushing.

"Hi there, Captain Jack Harkness"

Now both of the poor men behind the stall were blushing as Ianto held back a giggle, leaning on the handsome man who had no idea the warmth of wafting of his hormones in the presence of pregnant men. Oh yes… it made them hungry alright.

Finally, Jack moved away with Stephen and Ianto leaned back to whisper "Yeah… he does taste like that when you lick him."

A shriek of laughter had Jack turning back to see the preggers man cling to his mate as he screamed with glee, Ianto sedately wafting towards him like he had no idea why the man he was leaving like that was acting the fool.

"Did you just do a Jones-Hit-n-Run?" Jack asked as they wandered around once more… for luck.

"Hmmmm?"

"Cheeky."
