As Jack approached being thirty five weeks pregnant Chloe was starting to get more and more worried about him, his blood pressure was slowly rising little by little and the protein in his urine was increasing bit by bit. For now he wasn't showing any symptoms of it turning to fell blown eclampsia but he was now on bed rest, ordered to not get up except to go to the bathroom.

Chloe told him he could stay in bed all day or on the sofa, but once there he was to stay there. He was lucky they had a downstairs toilet or he would have had to stay upstairs. Ianto was still going into work but only first thing in the morning to feed Myfanwy and Janet, as Gwen and Chloe were still looking after the kitties.

Once he had fed the them and made sure that their habitats were clean he checked the post and Jack's email, responding to anything he could and sending messages to the others saying that Jack was unreachable at the moment and he would respond upon his return. As soon as Gwen and Damien arrived in the morning Ianto went home to Jack, rushing back so he could be there when Chloe arrived leaving them with instructions to call him if they needed him.

Chloe had phoned Martha with her concerns, asking her to come earlier than planned. As soon as she explained about Jack's worsening condition since the last email she had sent two days before Martha told her she would arrange to be there as soon as she could. Chloe was praying they could get Jack to thirty six weeks before delivering the baby but having Martha there just in case made her breath a little easier.

Chloe had told Ianto how worried she was about Jack, but they hadn't told Jack. Both of them were worried he would panic and make his condition worse, so they just told him he needed more rest for the babies sake and Ianto was staying home with him to make sure he did as he was told. Jack was behaving for the most part, but Ianto could tell he was bored stupid and made sure he spent time with him.

The day they worked out that Jack was thirty six weeks pregnant Ianto arrived home just after nine in the morning to find Chloe waiting for him in the living room.

'How is he?' Ianto asked as he saw the worry on Chloe's face.

'Not good, I think once Martha gets here we should deliver the babies. I'm worried if we leave it too long they could be at risk.'

'When's she coming?'

'I don't know exactly, the last time I spoke to her was two days ago and she said she'd be here as soon as she could get away from UNIT, she said she was going to tell them it was a family emergency.'

'I should call her.' Ianto couldn't keep the worry from his voice.

'You concentrate on Jack, I'll call her and let you know what's happening, okay?'

'You'll phone her soon?'

'Yeah, when I get to the hub. I gave Jack a mild sedative, he's sleeping.'

'A least that'll keep him in bed.' Ianto joked sadly.

Chloe stood up and walked over to Ianto, who was standing nervously by the fireplace and hugged him tight. She felt his arms wrap around her and his head buried itself in her shoulder as she heard a small sob come from him. She just held him as he cried quietly till he stopped, lifting his head from her shoulder, his eyes a little red.

'They will all be okay, Jack and the babies, I promise Martha and I will do everything to make it so.'

'We can't lose them, not now.'

'You will have two healthy little bubs in your arms soon.' Chloe gave him a small smile.

Ianto nodded. 'Yep, I have to believe that or I'll go mad with worry.'

'Now, I'm going. I will call you and tell you what Martha say.'

Ianto kissed her on the cheek as he hugged her close again for a moment and then walked her to the door. Once she was gone he went straight up to the bedroom, Jack was fast asleep. Ianto had taken the wearing just jeans and t shirts of late, as he was rarely at work so he just toed off his trainers and got onto the bed.

As he spooned behind Jack he wrapped an arm around him and kissed the back of his neck, Jack murmured his name in his sleep as Ianto closed his eyes and breathed in the scent that was uniquely Jack finding it comforting. He found himself waiting for the phone to ring, desperate for Chloe to call about Martha but he finally dozed off next to Jack.

Ianto woke a couple of hours later to find Jack grinning at him as his eyes fluttered open, Ianto smiled back as Jack kissed him softly.

'Hey, how you feeling?' Ianto asked sleepily.

'Okay.'

'No headaches, nausea or flashing lights?'

'No, just a little sleepy still from the sedative Chloe gave me.'

'You should go back to sleep, it's good for you.'

'Not yet, I have a beautiful man in my bed and I think I'd like to kiss him a little.'

'A little kissing won't hurt.' Ianto sighed as Jack's lips met his.

The kisses were soft and tender, just about reassuring each other that everything was going to be okay. They stayed that way till Jack's stomach rumbled, he hadn't had any breakfast that morning as he had been asleep when Ianto left and when he returned.

Ianto dragged himself from Jack's arms and went to make him coffee and toast as he had requested, making some for himself as well and took it all back up to the bedroom in a tray. After they had eaten Ianto ran a warm bath for Jack, Chloe had said it was fine as long as it wasn't too hot, as that would be bad for his blood pressure.

As Ianto left Jack to his bath the front doorbell rang, he ran down the stairs and opened the door. A huge grin spreading across his face at the person who stood on his doorstep with a case in her hand. He threw his arms about her and kissed her hard on the cheek.

'I've never been to glad to see anyone in my life.'

'How the patient?' Martha asked as Ianto finally let her in the door.

'Bored and a little grumpy.'

Ianto took her case and led her into the living room.

'For someone like Jack this must be killing him, being on bed rest with none of the fun he usually associates with bed.' Martha smirked.

'He's not the only one.' Ianto admitted as his face turned a fetching shade of pink making Martha laugh.

'Where is he, in bed?'

'Bath, warm bath not hot. Yet another thing for him to moan about.'

'Poor Jack, well hopefully in a week or so the babies will be born and his body will recover.'

'You think he'll make it to thirty six weeks?'

'I'll do everything I can to make it so, but if they need to come earlier they will be fine.'

'I'll get him out the bath and back to bed so you can see him.'

'Yes, I'd like to examine him myself. Is he huge?' He eyes sparked with mischief.

'Oh yeah.' Ianto grinned.
