A/N - This chapter was a collaborative effort - big, huge, gigantic THANK YOU to
christine_twfan for writing the incredible smut scene in this as well as beta'ing the parts I wrote. You are fantastic!
Ianto stood in front of the mirror in nothing but his pajama bottoms. He sighed as he ran his hand across his expanding waistline. They still didn’t know what was causing the accelerated growth. Healer Nestad and the Doctor had been working on it for a week now and thought it was something to do with the hormone therapy Ianto was receiving, but needed to run more tests.
Both Ianto and the baby were in good health. He was the equivalent of 23 weeks pregnant and had really started to show. He grinned as he felt a small push against his palm.
“Well, good morning, Sprout,” he murmured. “Did you decide it was play time with Tad?” Laughing at the answering kick, Ianto sat down on the edge of the bed. He continued talking softly while playing a bizarre game of tag with the baby.
Jack stood in the bedroom doorway watching his partner affectionately. He surreptitiously opened his wrist strap and recorded the tender scene in front of him.
“Your daddy thinks he’s being sneaky over there, but we see him, don’t we?”
Laughing, Jack climbed onto the bed behind Ianto and wrapped his arms around the young man.
“Having a conversation with the sprout again, are you?” Jack asked.
“Yep. Asking it to lay off tap-dancing on my bladder for awhile,” Ianto replied.
Jack chuckled. “Are you going to the university library again this afternoon?”
Ianto nodded, leaning back against his lover. “Yeah, it’s nice to get out and do something. As nice as the time off is, I miss the busyness of the Hub.”
“We’re going to have to figure out a place for the baby while we’re at work,” Jack mused.
“And find a bigger place to live,” Ianto added.
Jack looked startled at that idea. Ianto gave him an amused look.
“What were you thinking, Jack? That we could all live at the Hub?”
“No. I…I hadn’t really thought about that part yet,” Jack admitted.
Ianto sat up. “Jack, we’ve basically been living together since you came back from traveling with the Doctor. We’re having a child together. Don’t you want to…?” he frowned.
“Yes. Ianto, yes,” Jack cupped Ianto’s cheek. “I want to move into a place of our own and be a family. It just caught me off guard. I haven’t done domestic for over a hundred years.”
“Domesticity has its benefits,” Ianto said, leaning forward and kissing Jack intently. He pushed the older man back on the bed and straddled his hips. Ianto huffed in annoyance when his belly wouldn’t let him get as close to Jack as he wanted.
“Are you sure you’re up for this,” Jack asked softly. “With things changing so fast in there, I don’t want you to hurt yourself.”
Ianto braced his hands on either side of Jack’s head, and leaned awkwardly over to brush a kiss over his lips. “Hormones and pheromones are driving me crazy. If I don’t do something, I’m likely to go mad.”
Jack’s grin was brilliant. “Then let’s get you more comfortable. On your back. Now.”
Ianto shivered at the possessive note in Jack’s voice, and carefully slid off to rest on his side. Jack pushed him gently until he was on his back, his hands tracing patterns down across Ianto’s chest and extended stomach.
“Have I told you how hot you make me? Just looking at you like this.”
A low groan slipped from Jack and he bent his head to suck hard on Ianto’s nipple. Threading his fingers through Jack’s hair, he fought his body, unsure of if he wanted Jack to do more, or pull him off.
“You’re killing me,” Ianto moaned.
“I somehow think you’ll survive.”
Then, Jack was on the move. He licked and nipped his way down Ianto’s body, pausing to pay special attention to rise of Ianto’s stomach, before he hooked his fingers in the band of the pajama bottoms, tugging them down.
Jack’s hot breath ghosted over Ianto’s cock, causing him to shudder and clutch at the sheets in a desperate attempt to stop him from bucking off the bed. But it was the feel of Jack’s tongue tracing a circle around the tip of his cock that drove all reason from his mind. The velvet heat of Jack’s mouth quickly engulfed him, and Ianto was no longer able to think.
“Fuck, Jack. Won’t…last…with you doing that.”
The affirmative hum from Jack was followed by the click of the lube bottle being opened, and a moment later, the wet press of Jack’s finger against him. Ianto’s body ran on impulse and learned response. His hips pulsed in a steady rhythm as he fucked himself on Jack’s finger. Ianto tried to relax his body, but he couldn’t quite loosen his grip on Jack’s hair, as his partner increased the tempo of his sucking.
“Oh, god. Jack. Going to come.”
For one blissed out moment, Ianto thought that his orgasm would be too much for the baby to handle, before all coherent thought was driven from his mind. Pleasure rolled through him in waves as he felt Jack swallow him down. With a gasp, Ianto relaxed back on the bed, willing the world to stop spinning.
The intensity of his orgasm was probably why he didn’t notice Jack’s actions at first. The bed shook, a slow steady rhythm that felt, odd. When Ianto opened his eyes, he felt another unexpected bolt of lust shoot through him.
Jack was on his knees, staring down at Ianto as he frantically worked his hand over his cock. He wanted to move, help him find his pleasure, but there was something in Jack’s eyes that stopped him. Intensity he’d only seen a few times before. Ianto swallowed hard, knew there was at least one thing he could do to help. Talk.
“Fuck, Jack. Yes. Do you know how unbelievably hot you look like that? Doing that. Come for me. Come on me. Now!”
Jack threw his head back and cried out, his come shooting across Ianto’s stomach. It looked like Jack’s body seized for a moment, before he finally collapsed in a heap beside Ianto.
Neither man spoke. It wasn’t until Jack shifted and placed a single kiss on Ianto’s belly that the younger man finally understood. Knew just how important this baby was.
Jack looked up at him and smiled. “Let me get you cleaned up.”
Ianto walked slowly down the street, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. Their days had fallen into a sort of routine lately. Mornings were lazy, just enjoying their time together. After lunch, Ianto would walk to the library while Jack wandered the bazaar looking for tech that they could use when they returned to Torchwood. They would meet at the Villengard café for dinner, the Doctor often joining them.
Tonight would be just Jack and Ianto, as the Doctor was making a quick trip back to Earth to pick up some of Ianto’s stockpiled blood. Healer Nestad had said that a sample of his blood from before they started the hormone therapy could give them some answers on why the fetal development was accelerated.
Ianto was taking a shortcut through an alley when he heard someone come up behind him. Before he could turn around, a cloth was clamped tightly against his nose and mouth. His legs went weak and his vision blurred. As darkness descended, he glimpsed a familiar face with grey skin, green hair and purple eyes.
“You,” he whispered weakly and then unconsciousness claimed him.
Jack was starting to get worried. He was sitting at their usual table in the café, but Ianto was over half an hour late meeting him. Just as he was getting up to start searching for his pregnant partner one of the servers came up and offered him a sealed letter.
Opening it, Jack’s heart sank at the words he read:
Time Agent -
You will make your atrocity against my family right. If you do not do exactly what I want, you will never see your mate or your offspring again. You have two days.
Jothan Akribos
“Shit,” Jack swore, pulling his mobile phone out and dialing the Doctor. “Doctor, you need to get back here right away. Ianto has been kidnapped!”
