Summary: Ianto is thoroughly displeased at being treated with kid gloves. A double drabble.

Ianto sighed as he flipped over the page on the clipboard and found three more pages behind the first. The list of things was making his head spin in circles.

'You can't be serious,' he said, putting it down before he'd even finished reading the contents.

Jez threw his hands up in defense. 'I didn't make the rules. In fact, Jack had a say in a lot of what went on that list.'

Ianto rolled his eyes. 'Of course he did.' It was only right that he feel egregiously boxed in and annoyed about it in the one moment he felt like his stomach wasn't trying to turn itself inside out. 'I can't eat any of these things?' he asked, gesticulating at the clipboard once more. 'They're all harmful to a baby?'

He checked the list again. He knew about steering clear of soft cheeses and alcohol, but peanut butter? Was he really going to have to put up with marmite for the next seven months?

'Jack says we should be safe than sorry,' Jez replied, looking genuinely apologetic.

'And who signs your paycheque?'

'You do.'

He scratched the list with his pen. 'So, peanut butter is coming off the list.'
