The Doctor was first up the stairs and kneeing beside the pregnant Prince, carefully examining him. Two of the servants helped Ianto who was still suffering from mild shock to his feet and he made his way up to where his husband lay.
“It's not as bad as it looks,” the Elder told Ianto. “head wounds always look worse than they are, it's just a small cut where his head has hit the stone floor when he fell.”
“But why did he fall?” Ianto asked, holding onto the stone banister to keep himself steady.
“That's the real question,” the Doctor replied. “if he just fainted then he should be coming around by now, the head injury isn't the cause of the unconsciousness in my opinion, we need to get him somewhere more comfortable where I can examine him more carefully.”
“I can help carry him to our chamber,” Ianto answered, moving on slightly shaking legs.
“You're in no fit state for that,” the Elder answered then looked down at Donna and called out. “your Highness, please send two Guards to help us move the Prince.”
“Of course,” she replied and nodded at two of the Guards who immediately rushed forwards and up the stairs, easily picking up the Prince and carrying him away with Ianto and the Doctor following closely behind.
Donna then dispatched Guards to remove Hart's body and the badly injured Gray, with the intention of sending him straight back to the Asylum. Once they were following her orders she asked two of the servants to take care of Toshiko and after reassuring her she would be back as soon as possible she rushed off to the Prince's chamber to find out what was wrong.
“Is he okay?” The Queen asked, rushing into the room.
“He's still unconscious,” Ianto told her worriedly.
“His hear rate is very slow and sluggish and he's burning up with a fever,” the Doctor told her with a frown. “I'm not sure what is wrong with him, I will need to consult my books but I fear his body isn't handing the pregnancy as well as we thought.”
“Let us know if you need us to fetch anything, herbs maybe for a potion?” The Queen told the Elder. “What should we do for now?”
“He must be left to rest and the fever needs to be broken,” the Doctor told her. “we need some flannel cloths and cold water to help lower his temperature.”
“I will organise that,” Donna answered, her concern for the Prince and his betrothed clear on her face. “Ianto, I will return shortly.”
Ianto just nodded from where he sat next to Jack on their bed with his hand in his and tears threatening to spill from his eyes.
“What is the risk to the babies?” Donna asked the Doctor as they left the room.
“I can't say until I have some idea of what's happening to him,” the Elder told her honestly. “but it's not looking good for them.”
“He can't lose the babies, please do everything you can,” Donna said, eyes pleading with him.
“I will do everything in my power your Highness,” he replied solemnly.
*~*~*~*~*
Ianto stood up from here he had been sitting and moved onto the bed beside the Prince, his hand brushing the damp strands of hair away from his hot, perspiration covered brow and then placed a soft kiss upon it.
“Come on Jack, come back to me,” Ianto whispered to him. “I need you, I love you and you can't leave me now, I barely know you still.”
Ianto then pressed another kiss to the unresponsive lips of the betrothed, a tear dropping off his own cheek and onto Jacks. Using the pad of his thumb he brushed it away and then kissed the spot it hand landed upon before placing his hand on the Prince's swollen belly.
His hand slid slowly over the bump, feeling it through the soft fabric of Jack's trousers that were pulling at the seams, hoping and praying that the babies within were still alive. When one of the babies kicked he let out a long sight of relief that was half a sob, tears now falling freely down his face.
“Our babies are fighting Jack so you can fight this too,” Ianto told him. “wake up Jack, we all need you to wake up. I've watched you in your sleep. Did you know that? So many times. Just waking up in the middle of the night and watched you. Watched your eyes moving behind your eyelids as you dreamed. I wondered if you were dreaming about me – hoped you were dreaming about me? You're royalty Jack, even now I still wonder what you see in me when you could have married anyone … anyone in the entire country, let alone your own Kingdom. When I see you smiling in your sleep I hope and pray that it's me causing it. I dreaded coming here and marrying a man I had never met but how could I not fall in love with you? You have made my life so amazing and I can't believe that we have two babies on the way already. So Jack, you have to come back to me, if not them I have no idea how I will be able to carry on without you. I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone.”

Please, please let Prince Jack wake up! He and the babies really must be okay, if anything bad happened to any of them I don't know if Ianto would survive! It's heartbreaking, Ianto using the Dead Line speech as Jack lies there, his and the babies lives hanging in the balance while the Doctor tries to figure out what's wrong!

Am I being overly paranoid that it worries me when you say, "and the badly injured Gray, with the 'intention' of sending him straight back to the Asylum."? Even though he's badly injured, I hope they don't underestimate the strength of Gray's hatred for Jack. That could be disastrous.
