When Jack woke the next morning he found himself alone in bed, despite it being seemingly sunny outside it was chilly indoors. Jack wrapped his dressing gown around him and headed off to find Ianto, he was in the spare room they were using half as an office with their computer in and half as a storage room.
Ianto was sat at the computer reading intently and didn't hear Jack walk in till he was behind him and looking over his shoulder, Jack spotted what Ianto was reading and groaned. Ianto closed the page but it was too late, Jack had seen it.
'I thought we agreed not to look it up on the internet till we knew if I actually had it or not.'
Jack kissed Ianto on top of the head, he wasn't angry with him, as he knew Ianto would only have done it because he was worried.
'I couldn't sleep at first and then I had a bad dream, about diabetes and the babies and I needed to find out what could happen.'
Ianto was still facing the computer in his chair and Jack behind him, Jack moved closer and slid his arms over Ianto's shoulders and hugged him close, placing another kiss to his head.
'So, what did you find out?'
'I thought you didn't want to know?'
'Might as well be prepared, just in case the test comes back positive, come on, tell me.'
'The baby could be bigger than normal.'
Jack looked down at his swelling belly and frowned. 'I might explode.'
Ianto chuckled to himself.
'It could also be born with Jaundice, but that's treatable and it could also have low blood sugar, but they can treat that with glucose into the babies blood.'
'Sounds like a nightmare. So what would I have to do?'
'Hopefully you can control it with what you eat, keep your carbohydrate intake low.'
Jack nodded.
'That means no doughnuts and danish pastries.' Ianto added, wondering if Jack realised what it meant.
'I can do that, for our babies.'
'Take some exercise, keep an eye on your weight and you'll have to test your blood a few times a day.'
'I am so hoping the test in negative.' Jack said sadly.
Ianto closed the computer down and got up from the chair and hugged Jack close to him.
'Whatever happens we do what it best for you and the babies, all three of you will get through this just fine.'
'And if I explode?' Jack smiled.
'I promise to clean up the mess.' Ianto laughed.
'I need coffee.' Jack pouted.'
'You'll have to settle for a big glass of water, we'll get Chloe to start the test as soon as we get to the hub, the sooner you have it, the sooner you can have coffee.'
'You'd think after all this time without caffeine I wouldn't be wanting it so much.'
'You want the taste, as much as the caffeine, you'll just have to make do with the taste for now.'
'Only fifteen weeks to go.'
'Maybe less, if you go into labour early.'
'I really am not looking forward to that!'
'Come on, we should get dressed. Get that test over with.'
They showered and dressed, Ianto missed breakfast so he didn't make Jack feel more hungry than he was and then they set off to the hub. Chloe was there ready and waiting for them, as soon as they had their coats off she told Jack to relax on the sofa, did a blood sugar test on him and then handed him a sugar drink telling him she would test him again in an hour and then they would know if he had it or not.
The faces Jack made as he drank the drink made both Ianto and Chloe laugh, Jack drained the glass and handed back to Chloe.
'That was horrible.' He moaned.
'Baby.' Ianto grinned.
Jack got up from the sofa and took Ianto's hand.
'You can come and distract me for an hour now.' Jack told Ianto as he pulled him off the sofa and towards the steps that led to his office.
Chloe watched them till they were in Jack's office with a smile on her face and then wandered back to the medical bay. When Jack and Ianto reappeared an hour later both looked a little dishrevelled, their hair mussed up and lips a little swollen. They were met by Chloe by the sofa so she could do the blood sugar test on Jack again.
Neither of them realised they were holding their breath till Chloe looked up and smiled at them.
'You're blood sugar is normal.'
Jack and Ianto both gave a sigh of relief.
'But.' She continued. 'In the test I did yesterday was a little high, so I still need you to watch what you eat, okay, cut down on those cakes and pastries.'
'Oh he will.' Ianto told her.
Jack grabbed Chloe and spun her around. 'I'll do whatever it takes for these babies.' He told her.
'I know.' She replied as Jack kissed her in the cheek.
'Thanks for coming in so early.' Ianto told her.
'I want these babies to be perfect too, you know.' She grinned. 'I'm going to have to pass all the test results onto Martha in my weekly report.'
'Sure. Ianto, we have an important call to make.'
'And that would be?'
'We're going to tell the Doctor the good news.'
'You think that's a good idea?'
'Yeah, I just want him to know, whatever happens.'
'Lets get it over and done with then.'
'Coffee first?'
'Yep.' Ianto laughed.
After they both went to the kitchenette for the coffee they walked back up to Jack's office Gwen walked in through the cog door, hearing them chuckling about something as they walked up the stairs.
'What's up?' She asked Chloe.
They're both in great moods and they're off to phone the Doctor to tell him about the babies.'
'I hope they stay in their good moods after that.' Gwen frowned.
'Lets hope he doesn't react the same way as last time.'
'Yeah.'
