The Torchwood Drabble Files

by badly-knitted

A collection of Torchwood drabbles that continues to grow. Thanks to everyone who's making this possible. You're greatly appreciated, so I'm reinstating an old game - the writer of every 100th review gets to request a drabble/ficlet of their choice. Still using a T rating to cover anything I might write, just to be safe.

"This one makes thirteen," Owen said, sounding apprehensive. "Is anyone else getting a bit nervous?"

"It's a Flufflet," Jack said. "What is there to be nervous about? Don't tell me you think thirteen's unlucky!"

"Well, not usually, but since when does Nosy ever produce a Flufflet for no reason? I mean okay, there was that one time, but when we looked into it, there WAS a reason. Not a good one, but it did make sense. This time, no one's expecting, at least no one we don't already know about, but here Nosy is with another new Flufflet, less than two months after it produced the last one. What does it know that the rest of us don't?"

The team fell silent, everyone looking at each other, until all eyes fell on Jack.

"No, I'm not pregnant. Ianto and I have been extra careful since we had Rosie."

Before the argument could continue, Nosy grasped its new offspring by the scruff, dragged it across the floor, and dumped it in Gwen's lap, practically on top of the Flufflet that was already there.

"Gwen, med bay, now!" Owen ordered.

Jack grinned. "Well, that's one way of finding out you're having twins."
