Notes: Gwen isn't quite ready to give it all up just yet. A double drabble.

Jack checked his watch as he sat himself on the edge of Gwen's desk. 'Almost six o'clock, Gwen Cooper,' he stated. 'Five more minutes and you're a free woman.'

She rested a hand on her stomach. 'Well, as free as you can be when walking has become waddling and running is completely out of the question.'

Jack chuckled. 'Maternity leave can't come soon enough, huh?'

'Anything to get this sack of potatoes from trying to pull my spine out through my belly button.'

Ianto joined them. 'Everything from your locker is officially packed in the car,' he announced. 'No point having half your wardrobe here at the hub.'

'Thanks, Ianto.' She winced, gripping her belly.

Ianto frowned worriedly. 'That's not a...'

Jack smirked. 'Ianto, how'd you feel about having a baby?'

'Relax, you two. It's just the baby kicking. An alarm went off around them announcing a major rift alert. Gwen sighed. 'So much for finishing up on time.'
