Captain Jack and his companion stood there, gaping at me like fish. I grinned mischievously and picked up my bag.

"Very attractive, Captain." I drawled sarcastically, tucking the newspaper away in my bag.

"But, how-" I rolled my eyes at the attractive Captain and stood up.

"Aren't you happy to see me?" I asked, changing the subject conveniently. He pouted and grinned, hugging me.

"Of course I am!" I hugged him back, laughing along with him.

"Going to actually hug me this time, hm?" He had the decency to look chastised, but not for long. I turned my gaze to Jack's sullen companion, who had yet to introduce himself. I pulled back from Jack's embrace, holding my hand out to him. A small smile lit up his face.

"You must be Donna." I grinned. These hormones were making my mood almost infectiously happy.

"This is Ianto. Ianto Jones." He beamed, and I rolled my eyes at Jack's enthusiasm. I could tell that Jack had a thing for this man. Good for him.

"Nice to meet you." He announced. He was a lot more reserved than Jack.

"So Miss Noble, what can we do for you?" I decided that being blunt would be for the best.

"I need a job." I stated. Jack cocked an eyebrow at me.

"So you came all the way to Cardiff?" He asked, a little confused.

"Yes, I did."

"But couldn't you get a job any where in London?"

"I'm a temp, Jack. Not exactly a booming industry."

"But you're brilliant. And loud." He added as an afterthought. I slapped his arm playfully.

"I am not brilliant! I'm just plain old Donna Noble." I said seriously, and Jack rolled his eyes.

"The Doctor was right…" He muttered and I glared at him.

"Can you give me a job or not?"

"Of course I can give you a job! If I will or not is a completely different story." He replied cheekily. I huffed and crossed my arms across my chest.

"Tell me, how many people work at Torchwood?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Six." Ianto replied. Jack glared at him and I laughed.

"I could at least be of some help, Jack. Why are you so reluctant to help me out?"

"Shouldn't you be in London?"

"I decided that it was time for a sea change." I replied dryly, annoyed at Jack's avoidance of whether I could have a job or not.

"What about your Grandfather?" That was it.

"Jack! Just answer the bloody question!" I yelled, frustrated. He grinned and nodded.

"Do you have a place to stay?" I shook my head.

"I had planned on staying at a hotel until I could find you, but since I already have, you can find me some place to stay, can't you Jack?"

"I wouldn't be a gentleman if I didn't let you stay with me." He grinned, puffing his chest out. I rolled my eyes at him.

"You're no gentleman, Jack." I teased. He frowned and I laughed at the outright disappointed look on his face.

"Off we go? I'm pretty tired." I asked, a yawn backing up my statement. He nodded, holding out an arm for me. I watched Ianto carefully. He had a look of indifference on his face. I supposed that he was used to it, Jack being who he was, and what he was.

Laying on the bed in the spare room that Jack had given me, my thoughts drifted back to the child growing inside of me. My hands sat on my stomach as I dreamed up scenarios, trying to think up ways to tell the Doctor if I ever saw him again. I knew that he would be shocked. I didn't even know if a Time Lord and a human had conceived before. I had originally thought it to be impossible, which was why I didn't press about contraceptive methods.

"Donna?" I sat up, staring at the door. It opened to reveal Ianto. He smiled awkwardly and I patted the edge of the bed, wanting him to tell me what was on his mind.

"What's wrong?"

"You're pregnant, aren't you?" He asked rather bluntly. I froze, my face going pale. He smiled for the first time since I'd met him.

"Don't worry, won't tell Jack. At least, not until it's necessary." I smiled gratefully.

"How did you know?"

"I've seen that look before. My sister has two kids. A boy and a girl. You're a bit nervous, aren't you? She had her husband." He murmured quietly. I nodded.

"Yeah. I don't know what I'm going to do."

"Who's the father?"

"The Doctor." His eyes widened in shock.

"I didn't think that he'd-

"What? Sleep with someone like me? Someone who isn't his ideal companion? Someone whose not thin, not blonde, and not thin?" I snapped rather sharply. He held his hands up in defence.

"No, Donna, you're very beautiful." My face flushed and he smiled softly again.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. You seem nice." With that said, Ianto left me be with my thoughts once more.

Like it? Hate it? (Please don't hate it…)
