Two months later …

Ianto ran the palm of his hand gently over the soft swell of his husbands stomach, through the fabric of his clothes and not for the first time since finding out they were having twins, revelling at the thought of them growing inside the Prince's belly.

“Your clothes aren't going to fit you much longer,” Ianto said with a happy smile.

“Donna has commissioned Toshiko to make me clothes for the rest of the pregnancy, she should be visiting in a couple if days to try and get an idea of what to make me and how much growing room I'll require,” Jack answered, having spoken to the Queen only days before. “She might as well just make me some tents, I'm going to be huge before long.”

Ianto chuckled softly knowing Jack was already fretting about his blossoming belly making him look like he was fat.

“Everyone in the kingdom knows you are with child,” he told him, smiling and swirling the tips of his fingers over his lovers belly. “no-one will think you are fat and what's more, the bigger you become the more proud I will be that you are having my children and maybe the future Queen.”

“But what about you? Will you still find me attractive when I have a huge belly?” Jack pouted.

“I can't wait,” Ianto grinned. “it might make things more awkward when it comes to us making love but we can work around that.”

“You'll really want to when I'm that big?” The Prince asked, giving an unsure smile.

“Oh yeah,” Ianto sighed. “it's what caused your condition in the first place.”

“The Doctor says I may deliver early, with it being twins,” Jack said becoming serious. “maybe we should check with him when it's nearer the time, I don't want to take any risks.”

“Me neither,” Ianto agreed, nodding.

“But for now, we can enjoy ourselves however we like and I want to make the most of being able to still take you,” the Prince said, a grin crossing his face.

And I will take advantage of every minute, Ianto chuckled, welcoming his husbands lips on his.

*~*~*~*

Jack stood patiently while Toshiko took his current measurement, jotting them down and making calculations as she went until he felt like she had measured and remeasured his whole body.

“Finished,” she finally said with a smile.

“Thanks Toshiko,” Jack said with a relieved smile and taking a seat next to his lover who had been watching the whole thing with amused interest.

“I shall make your clothes so they can be adjusted to your changing body,” she told him. “you will be able to loosen the fastenings without losing your dignity.”

“When should I expect them?” Jack asked.

“In about two cycles of the moon, in time for when you start showing properly,” she answered. “as you are expecting twins you will expand more than usual, but I will allow for this.”

“Thank you Toshiko,” Jack grinned, his hands clutching one of Ianto's to the slight swell of his belly. “will you be returning home today or will we have your company for a while longer.”

“I will be staying for two days Sire,” she smiled.

“How many times do I have to remind you to call me Jack?” The Prince scolded her playfully. “you are a friend of the Queens, not just the Royal tailor.”

Toshiko grinned happily. “Of course Jack … it just slips out. Ianto, do you require anything?”

“No, thank you,” Ianto told her. “I have enough clothes already.”

Toshiko nodded, smiled and said. “then I shall just concentrate on making Jack's pregnancy clothes, the naming day outfits for the twins and your and Jack's clothes for the day.”

“Wouldn't our betrothal clothes do for that?” Ianto asked, thinking that they hadn't been worn since their big day.

“Of course not!” Both Jack and Toshiko exclaimed together then burst out laughing.

“That funny is it?” Ianto huffed playfully.

“No, no, not at all,” Toshiko grinned. “but the required outfits are totally different.”

“Can I ask what they look like?” Ianto asked.

“No, it can be a surprise,” Jack grinned. “but a good one, I promise.”

“Fine,” Ianto answered with a good natured sigh.

A knock on the door interrupted them.

“Come in,” Jack called out.

The door opened and Owen popped his head around it.

“Good, you're finished?” Owen asked. “One of the servants told me I could find you here. Are you all measured up for your fat clothes?”

“You cheeky git,” Jack laughed. “not that I'm not pleased to see you, but why are you here? I can't go riding now.”

“Can't a bloke just want to see how his friend is doing?” Owen asked, settling down in one of the chairs. “and stay for lunch?”

“I knew food would be in there somewhere,” Jack chuckled. “Toshiko, would you care to join us?”

“I'd love too, thank you.” She smiled and the four of them made their way to the dining hall.

*~*~*~*

“I could so go for one of your cups of coffee about now,” Jack murmured against his lovers chest.

“It'll keep you awake, you know it has that effect,” Ianto told him. “how about some warm milk with cinnamon?”

“Will you make it for me?” Jack asked. “It tastes so much better than when anyone else does it.”

“You better not let Rhys hear you say that,” Ianto laughed softly. “are you sure you really want it, you look like you'll be asleep when I get back.”

“Please ...” Jack murmured.

“Okay, I'll be back soon,” Ianto agreed, slipping out of the bed and pulling some clothes on and then headed down to the kitchens wishing the castle wasn't so big.

He heated the milk, poured it into a silver cup and then added some ground cinnamon, tasting it before getting ready to take it up to his husband when he heard a small noise, like something being dropped coming from the large store room at the far end of the kitchens.

Putting the cup back down Ianto crept silently on bare feet towards the store room, telling himself it was probably only and mouse and peered in through the small crack of the slightly open door. He could see that faint light of a candle at the far end which peaked his curiosity.

Holding his breath he pushed the door open a little wider, letting it out when the door did so quietly without a single squeak and was able to see further in. His eyes widened as he took in the scene before him, Owen had someone in his arms that he was kissing somewhat passionately … and that someone was Toshiko.

Yeah, that self-invite to lunch was kind of a dead give-away...

Glad to see this verse!

[badly_knitted]

Oh, Owen! I hope you don't get both yourself and Toshiko into serious trouble! I'm sure Ianto will keep their secret though.

Poor Jack, being pregnant is making him feel so vulnerable. All those hormones... He doesn't need to worry though, to Ianto he'll be gorgeous no matter how big he gets!

[tkfaf.livejournal.com]

Awwww! I was hoping Tosh & Owen might get a little time alone together. Hopefully they won't get in trouble. *fingers crossed*

Jack & Ianto are so damn cute together! Jack worrying about getting "fat"& Ianto making him some warm milk with cinnamon......AWWWW!

[thraceadams]

aww poor Jack being all self-conscious about his belly and WOO HOOO about Owen and Tosh :D

[milady_dragon]

Poor Jack, being all self-conscious about getting big.

And Owen and Toshiko...I do hope they don't get caught by anyone besides Ianto.

[stargazer60]

Owen has smooth moves.

"Fat clothes" -- cracked me up..

[iolo1234]

Good to have this back and don't envy Jack the twins. Hope Owen and Tosh are careful.

[zazajb]

i am so happy for jack/ianto. owen and tosh had better be careful.

[blackrose_17]

Jack sound just like my friend when she was pregnant worrying that she was getting fat and no one would want her.

I hope Owen and Tosh don't get into trouble.

[cjharknessgirl]

Aw, Tosh and Owen. I was wondering if they were going to get together. I hope they don't get into trouble.

Poor Jack being self conscious about his belly, it was sweet how Ianto reassured him. I'm glad to see more of this verse! :)

[jedi_harkness]

Aw, Tosh and Owen! Hope they don't get into trouble!

Poor Jack, feeling a bit self-conscious. Bless Ianto for being a supportive husband. I'm sure Jack looks gorgeous with a Buddha-belly! ;)

[bluelilacs]

So happy to see another chapter of this. I've been missing our boys.

You had to now that even as much as they want the babies, Jack is going to feel a little unsure and undesirable. It's only natural to worry that your partner won't find you attractive anymore once you start getting fat and lose your trim figure. It was very sweet how Ianto reassured him.

Happy to see Tosh and Owen together. I just hope they don't get into trouble. I'm thinking Queen Donna needs to do something about that stupid law.

[seabiscuit]

[hab318princess]
