Summary: Jack is taking on some of the responsibilities of pregnancy. A double drabble.

'Are you going to eat that?' Jack asked, pointing at the slice of pizza left on Ianto's plate. He shook his head and Jack reached across, snaffling it.

'Remind me again which of you is the pregnant one?' Gwen teased, watching Jack hoover the pizza. 'I've had cravings pregnant but I've never seen someone who wasn't go through as much food as you lately, Jack.'

'He's eating for four,' Ianto replied, 'which is no different to any other time.'

'One of us has to,' Jack argued. 'It should be you.'

'I ate four slices! That's one each,' he added, resting a hand on his stomach. 'And if I'm not mistaken there's less room for my stomach with everything else squashed in there. It doesn't take much to satisfy my hunger.' He struggled to reach over and snap the box shut before Jack could sneak another slice. 'I've heard of sympathetic pregnancy in spouses but I don't think an insatiable appetite is one of the symptoms.'

Jack looked hurt. 'How can you say that? That could be exactly what I've got.'

'Except I didn't see you puking up your guts for three months and you sleep like a log every night.'
