Challenge: 524 - Sleep at tw100
Notes: The boys may have bitten off more than they can chew this time. A double drabble.

Ianto groaned at the sound of the baby crying. He nudged Jack, gently at first, then harder when he didn't wake.

'It's your turn,' Jack grumbled, burying his face back into the pillow.

'I did it the last two times,' Ianto argued. 'It's your turn.'

'Liar.'

'No, you just slept right through it.'

Jack pulled the duvet over his head. 'Not possible. I haven't slept more than an hour for three days now.'

'That's makes two of us.' He nudged Jack again before he could fall back asleep.

Begrudgingly, Jack got up, padding over to the cot. 'It's okay, Anwen. Uncle Jack's here,' he said, picking the infant up and cuddling it close to his chest. 'Uncle Ianto will go get you a nice bottle all warmed up and then you'll be so full and happy you're gonna sleep for eight hours, okay?'

Jack heard the little muffled sound of protest before Ianto also got up, headed for the kitchen.

He returned a few minutes later, bottle in hand.

'Shhh! She's fallen back asleep,' Jack whispered, settling her back in the cot. 'Turns out she wasn't hungry at all. She just wanted a cuddle.'

'I know the feeling,' Ianto replied.

Poor boys, they both need cuddles and sleep. How did they get lumbered with Gwen's baby?

They did offer. I think they thought it would be a piece of cake.
