Ianto is trying to please everyone and Jack? Just wants to pleasure his sexy man. Ton is still wise, Imp and Monkey still horrors and Babs speaks out. Come join in the madness.

"Hey" Ianto sat and let Chrys take his hands in her own, her finger playing with his wedding bands. He wore two of them these days, his original and latest nestled together. The beginning and the never to end.

"She's really OK?"

"She is fine. I am glad you were not there, I think you might have died a bit" Ianto smiled softly as he lifted one of her hands and kissed it gently, "LB is fine. Sam is bruised but reacted brilliantly even as we all stood like twats. Imp is beside himself so Jack is soft punishing him to help him past his feelings. Early bed and a movie. I know … not really a punishment but in his mind it will be accepted as one. Monkey feels the same. He needs to feel like he was punished. No matter what we say or do he will feel responsible and that it was a bad thing. Instead of confusing him and going over and over the event, a soft punishment and a new day tomorrow will help them get past it quicker. I also suggested an apology card be made in the morning, he can come over with it and then present it, feel atoned and then shake it off."

Jazzy grizzled softly and Ianto smiled, lifting the teething tot into his lap to croon and cuddle as she sucked her fingers and frowned. He knew Chrys felt terrible for what happened as well, a young mother who had suffered her own losses, this would haunt her so he came up with a solution.

"Let's all have dinner. We will make it a party. A "thank god she didn't die" party." Ianto suggested and finally she smiled, snorting at him.

"Monkey can bring his card and Imp will have one too. Ton can glower at them and lecture a bit which I know he is dying to do, Jack will defend them along with John and Fen will tell them he forgives them." Ianto laughed softly, "My heart is still beating so fast."

"It could have been…"

"Coulda, woulda, shoulda!" Ianto scolded "Don't. Don't do that. Ever. It is done. Time ticks and we must step forward. You know the backwards glances only bring sorrow. Always with this 'what if' thing."

She laughed softly and he relaxed as he saw her accept. He also knew she would not let it go until she apologised to Sam even though it was not her fault and she wasn't even there at the time.

Lovey Bug would be cuddled within an inch of her life for some time to come.

As it should be.
