torchwood100.Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Jack is in shock, and Ianto is worried.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
A/N: Double drabble.
“You’re not happy about this, are you?” Ianto said quietly, once Owen had dragged the girls away to give the parents to be a bit of privacy.
“What’re you talking about?” Jack’s head was reeling; he thought he had every right to be a bit confused.
“This. Me being pregnant. You’re not happy. I can tell.” Ianto didn’t look at him, busily putting his clothes to rights following the scan. “Why would you be?”
As far as Jack was concerned, it had nothing to do with whether he was happy or not, although if he was going to have children with anyone, he’d obviously want them with Ianto. It was just… unexpected. Ianto was completely human, the twentieth century version, not the fifty-first century kind, with all the add-ons from evolution and genetic manipulation. Getting pregnant shouldn’t even have been possible for him.
“Of course I’m happy! I’m just worried, because… well, you’re not me, you shouldn’t have the right parts, we don’t even know how that happened! What if everything disappears again?”
“Owen said everything looks fine,” Ianto reminded him.
“What does Owen know? Anyway, I’m going to be a daddy. I think that means I’m entitled to worry.”
The End
