A/N This chapter is for everyone who wanted the Doctor to get what he deserved via Donna! Also, sorry it's later than normal, had a wonderful afternoon out for a blatt on Winnie around the countryside, then we had a .... walk ... yes, thats a good word, in the woods, then stopped at the pub for a drink on the way home. Fantastic way to spend a sunny Friday afternoon ...

Jack and Ianto spent the morning fending off Gwen, with her constent questions about why they had bought the wedding forward, never seemingly happy with the answers she was given while Chloe looked on amused and Damien just shook his head and left them too it, hoping and praying like mad that she didn't mention the pregnancy test.

Ianto was plagued by phone call after call from relatives and friends who had received their invites that morning, congratulating them on the forcoming Civil Partnership and all saying they would be attending, Ianto was please so many were coming but was getting a little tired of the constant calls, having  to repeat the same thing over and over. In the end he turned his phone off again.

Meanwhile somewhere in time and space in a blue box Donna was wondering what was on the Doctor's mind. He had been over the moon when Martha had phoned, telling them about the wedding being sooner rather than later. But, she left him to it when he phoned Jack and went to make tea, when she came back he was sitting there brooding to himself.

When she'd handed him his tea he thanked her distractedly and set it down next to him. Now half an hour later it was still there, cold and un-drunk. Very unlike the Doctor, something was wrong and she was going to find out what it was. She walked over to where he was sat and picked up the tea cup.

'Something wrong with my tea?' Donna asked.

The Doctor glanced up at her. 'Sorry, what?'

'I said, is there something wrong with my tea?' She shoved the cup under his nose.

'No no ... I just forgot to drink it.'

'Okay spaceboy, what's wrong?'

'Wrong?'

Donna gave a sigh of exasperation. 'You have been sitting here brooding about something since you phoned Jack.'

'I phoned Martha again too.' He said as if that explained everything.

'Just tell me what happened.' She was almost shouting now.

'Jack told me something, my reply upset him and Martha told me to apologise.'

'I can't help if you don't actually tell me what you said.' She was annoyed with him now and still didn't know what had happened.

The Doctor looked at her.

'If you insist. Jack told me he'd got pregnant but lost the baby a couple of weeks ago, I told him it was for  the best because of timelines being messed with, he got upset with me. I phoned Martha and she told me off for being so insensitive and that Jack and Ianto were both still coming to terms with their loss.'

'Okay, first Jack got pregnant? He's a bloke right, I mean he certainly looks like one, who the hell does a man get pregnant? Is he an alien? Or is there something about him you're not tell me?' Donna's voice was getting louder and louder as the sentence went on.

'He's not an alien, and yes he is a man. He's from the future, 51st century to be exact and by then it's possible for men to have babies.'

'Bloody hell!' Donna exclaimed, her mouth gaping open.

The Doctor just looked at her as she took in the information, till eventually she snapped out of it again.

'So, to put it bluntly Jack is still getting over the recent miscarriage of Ianto's baby ... I assume it was Ianto's?'

'Yes.'

'And you blunder in there with your big gob and tell him it was all for the best. No wonder he got upset with you, Martha is right, you need to phone him and apologise.'

'But I'm right, I'm always right, I'm brilliant.' He said stubbornly.

Donna had raised her hand and slapped him round the side of the head before he saw it coming.

'Ouch.' He moaned as he rubbed the spot she had slapped.

'Maybe you are right, maybe you're not but one thing I know for sure is that is not something someone who's just lost a baby wants to hear, tact is something you severely lack sometimes.' Donna glared at him.

'So you agree with Martha?'

'Well duh! Do it now Martian man.'

The Doctor picked up the phone and looked at Donna.

'Now.' She shouted.

Ianto was in Jack's office to help him 'fill in some reports', or at least that's what they had told the others and apparently they needed the blinds closed to do this. Gwen had tried to get the CCTV feed for the office up onto her monitor, but it seems it had been disabled. She sulked quietly to herself as she got on with her work.

Infact Jack was sat in his chair with Ianto straddling his lap facing him, Ianto's Jacket was lying on the floor and his tie was hanging loose around his neck, the top three buttons of his shirt open. They were snogging and had been for over an hour, just enjoying each others mouths. Ianto's hands were around Jack's waist, one of Jack's was around his back, the other was absently stroking the soft hairs on Ianto's chest.

They had actually started off by talking about going out that afternoon and buying the wedding rings, but one thing led to another and they were both totally lost for the world. If snogging was an Olympics sport they had a good chance of winning the gold, for any category that might be included. When the phone rang they were so involved in each other it took them a few moments to realise what it was.

'Can't we ignore it?' Ianto whispered against Jack's mouth.

'Could be important.' Jack murmured back, capturing Ianto's mouth again.

'Mmmmmm.' Ianto answered into Jack's mouth.

Whoever was phoning wasn't going to give up, without breaking the kiss Jack reached out and fumbled on his desk for his mobile. His fingers found it eventually and breaking the kiss he looked at the caller display and he frowned.

'Who is it?' Ianto asked, worried by the change in Jack's expression.

'It's blank.'

'The Doctor?'

'Yeah, I think so.'

'Maybe he's phoning to say sorry?'

'I don't know if I want to speak to him just yet.'

'Answer the damn thing.'

Jack glared at Ianto, then feeling guilty he kissed him softly on the lips before answering the call.

'Doctor.' He was barely keeping his annoyance at the Time Lord out of his voice.

'Jack, I just called to tell you.' He paused and received an elbow in the ribs from Donna.

'Ouch.' He glared at her.

'Tell me what Doctor?'

The Doctor took a deep breath. 'I phoned to say I'm sorry I was such an insensitive idiot, I should never have said what I did, I really am sorry Jack, to both you and Ianto.'

Jack's resolve to stay angry with him was slipping.

'That means a lot to me Doctor, Thank you.'

Ianto who also had his ear near the phone was smiling to himself, he hadn't liked to think that Jack and the Doctor would have fallen out over this.

'I mean it Jack, apparently I need to get some tact.'

Jack laughed. 'By Donna I assume?'

'Who else!' The Doctor exclaimed.

'She's good for you Doctor, you keep her around.'

'We okay Jack?'

'Yeah, we're okay. Just make sure you're here for the wedding.

'We will be, wouldn't miss it for anything.'

'See you then, I have some unfinished business I need to get back to.' Jack grinned at Ianto.

'Something urgent? Anything I can help with?'

'Snogging Ianto.'

'Oh, I ... um .. yes.' The Doctor's voice had taken a flustered tone. 'I think you can handle that.' He finally managed to say.

'Bye Doctor.'

'Bye Jack.'

'I can't believe you said that to him.' Ianto laughed.

'I'd have loved to have seen his face.' Jack laughed.

'Well, it is quite a nice face.' Ianto teased.

'Hey, you're mine, all mine.' Jack told him as he started to kiss him again.
