Summary: The boys have overdone their Chirstmas celebrations.

Jack pushed the bowl across the coffee table so that it fell within Ianto's line of sight.

'Eat it,' Jack said.

'No way,' Ianto groaned, lying on the sofa with his head in Jack's lap. He was half asleep as it was. Any more food and he was going to descend all the way into an irreversible food coma.

'One of us has to.'

'I elect you, then,' Ianto replied.

'My stomach can't take anymore,' Jack said. He put a hand gently on it, already feeling how full it was, and the embarrassing way it was bulging out. It was a wonder Ianto couldn't hear it gurgling in protest at the amount of food it was trying to digest. He looked down at his lover and the slim waistline hidden beneath his shirt. There was definitely still room there for more.

Jack struggled to lean forward, hampered by his lover and his food baby, picking up the bowl. He cut away a small piece of Christmas pudding with the spoon, coating it in custard and hovering the spoon near Ianto's lips.

'No,' Ianto said, turning his head away.

'Please?'

'Feed me that and I will be sick,' Ianto affirmed.

'But it's your sister who'll be annoyed if we don't eat it.'

Rhiannon had put on a spread such as only a Welsh mother knew how, serving up three kinds of meat, twelve kinds of vegetables, and topping it all off with the biggest Christmas pudding Jack had ever seen.

'It's your fault for accepting two Christmas invitations,' Ianto complained.

Trust The Doctor to turn up early the one day they planned on him being late. By the time they'd fronted up to his sister's house, they were already halfway stuffed full of food, having travelled three hundred million light years to have Christmas celebrations with the quirky Time Lord.

'I'm going to have nightmares about drowning in that chocolate fountain,' Jack moaned, knowing he'd overdone it.

'Urhg, don't even mentioned the word chocolate.'

'So, what am I supposed to do with this?' Jack asked, looking down at the giant slice of pudding, feeling sick.

'Check my coat. I think there's a snap lock bag in there.'

'Good thinking.' Jack reached over the end of the sofa, slipping a hand into the pocket. 'Ianto Jones, you're a lifesaver,' he said, forcing the sticky dessert into the bag. He couldn't even bring himself to lick the spoon.

'Make sure you seal it tight,' Ianto warned. 'I don't want pudding in my coat.'

He managed to stow it away just in time for Ianto's sister to return.

'You want seconds?' she asked.

'No,' they both quickly replied. 'Thanks,' Ianto added, remembering his manners.

'Don't suppose either of you are up for touch rugby with Johnny and the kids?' she said, clearing away the dishes.

'I think we'll pass,' Jack replied.

'Suit yourselves.'

'Jack?'

'Yeah?'

'My New Year's resolution is to stop eating, effective immediately.'

Jack settled back deeper into the sofa. 'Mine too.'

Lol, am I going to be the annoying one to point out if they had 'first' Christmas dinner with the Doctor, they could have spent a week digesting that on some nice tropical island planet, and turned up at Rhiannon's place all ready for the next big meal - and with lovely suntans that they didn't have 'yesterday'.

Poor boys, overeating is never a good idea, and two Christmas dinners in a row is madness!

In hindsight, they should've stuck around with The Doctor for a while until they'd digested the first round. Ianto was worried though that they might get caught up in one of his adventures and then been late to his sister's house.
