Jack Harkness walked through the crowded shopping mall. "Crap, he thought.'What the hell am i doing here." The mall was busy , people bustling to get their Christmas shopping done. He hated shopping. His husband Ianto usually did the Christmas shopping but Jack was here to help the little girl whose hand he now held in his, to pick out a gift for Ianto. Jack looked down at his daughter 5 year old Lily Rose who smiled up at him. He scooped her up and carried her as they glanced in store windows. Lily still hadn't found any thing that she wanted to get for Ianto.
Jack gave her suggestions like "Why don't we get Your taddie that red hat.? or how bout we get your taddie these slacks . or even your Taddie would look gorgeous in this red shirt". But Lily didn't like any of the things Jack had pointed out. " No daddy, I want to pick it out myself." Jack had to chuckle at Lily got a idea in her head there was no stopping her from doing what she wanted. Ianto often joked that Both she and her brother Cooper Owen got it from Jack, but Jack knew Ianto could be just as stuborn. Both children had a mix of both of them along with the harkness pout.
This was no exception, They had past several stores when suddenly Lily cried out happily , having spotted something in the men's apparel store window. "Daddy, stop Daddy! stop. " Stopping ,Jack looked in the window as he put the little girl down, who raced to the window , with Jack hot on her heels.
"Whoa Prin , Slam on your brakes." He wondered what Lily had seen, She was pointing excitedly "Look Daddy,Look. that's what i want to get for Taddie." Jack looked at where his daughter pointed then smiled broadly as he knelt down beside her and kissed her cheek and put his arm around her "Prin, Its perfect. He will love it." Jack rose and extended his hand to his daughter.
"May I accompany you in to the shope, My lady?" Lily giggled as she took the hand and together the pair went up to the counter where the male sales clerk. greeted them. " May I help you sir" Lily frowned as she looked up at the man "Don't call him sir, Only my taddie can call him that."
Jack chuckled slightly at this as he spoke to the bewildered man. " The young lady would like to buy one of the Ties in the front window." The sales clerk looked down at lily, leering at the small girl" and which tie does madame wish to buy." Jack rolled his eyes at this. " Boy, who pissed in this ass's coffee.. wonders how he'd like a weevil in his stocking. " he thought to him self. Lily looked at the man and spoke softly yet clearly as Jack put his hand on her shoulder, suppoting her" The red one with the Stopwatch on it."
the sales person is in honour of the snotty jerk that waited on ianto in something borrowed.
