Karaoke.

Of course Bunny was all in and Jack watched with glee as she strutted her stuff, several people including crew recognising her and going right off as she sang her sweet heart out.

Jack was beyond proud as more than one person commented on his wonderful wife and her pipes. He thanked them as he agreed she was wonderful.

Oh Gods, drink" she gasped as she danced over and reached for the glass, necking it with glee as people gaped then she slammed the glass down "Another Cariad?"

Jack got up and then saw one coming so he settled back as a steward set it down, "Lovely singing there missus."

"I love singing" she said happily, taking a large mouthful, "doesn't half get me thirsty though."

"You don't half know how to move" a voice said then "Captain?"

Jack turned and laughed as he rose from the chair, You have got to be joking. Of all the gin joints!"

"You old dog you" the man laughed, "I can't believe it. Wow. What are you doing here?"

"My lovely partner and I are having a holiday" Jack said as he gestured at Ianto, "Our little boy is asleep in the cabin with one of those excitable stewards watching him for us. Probably trying on Bunny's dresses."

"Wow" the man stared at Bunny with wide eyes "How the hell did you manage to catch such a pretty one?"

"This is Bunny" Jack said happily, "My wife."

"Wow"

She raised an eyebrow and Jack finally remembered his manners, "Sweetheart, this is Ham, my friend from school"

"Still at school" Ham grinned, "I'm the Headmaster there now, on my own honeymoon."

"The local school? Where the kids are going?" Jack asked.

"I would hope so, would be a pretty silly school without any" Ham laughed happily.

"My niece and nehew" Ianto said suddenly, "My sister married Jack's brother. Then they died and we have adopted their children. Jack is naturally thinking we are in his head again, Mica and David are school age."

"Mica, pretty" Ham nodded, "Your voice changed then, you hide an accent."

"My love hides more than that" Jack laughed, "Bunny is …well…everything I ever wanted."

"Wow" he liked that word.

"Ham?" Bunny canted her head, letting the glitter on her eyelashes glimmer at him.

"Hamburger. When we were kids I just wanted hamburgers" he shrugged, "All I would eat at lunch and after school."

"Makes sense" she nodded, taking another good mouthful.

"So, what are….wait. The kids are coming to my school? You live back at home? Christ on a pogo stick your mother must be happy" he snorted, "A good woman and kids."

Jack laughed, so happy as he slapped the table, "Yeah. She loves Bunny."

Ham seemed to be looking closely at Bunny, leaning in as he frowned and for a moment she wondered if a lash had come off or something, shifting uncomfortably.

"You don't play an instrument or two? Er… do you teach at all?"

"Excuse me?" Ianto barked and Ham jumped as the manly voice issued forth, leaning back with wide eyes.

"My love made a living professionally, singing in some swanky places. Can pay the guitar and piano, sings like a little bird even if she is a Bunny Rabbid" Jack nodded.

"That's where I've seen you before, shit. Bunny Rabid. Huh. I read that spread on you in the Tattler. You are quite the enigma….oh wow. Jack Harkness you shit, you got the whole package. Wow. A real Drag Queen" he slumped as he grinned and shook his head.

"So now you know why I cannot teach your children" Bunny sighed.

"Ianto could though" Jack blurted out, "Everyone loves Ianto, babe you can. I dare anyone to say you are anything less than perfect."

"Jack!"

"No, no he's right. If you are comfortable in male form you would be perfect for the position. I need someone for music as well as to fill in the other classes now and then. Come on, part time….like three classes a week? Tell me you have excellent grades right? Some degree in something?" Ham looked ready to beg as Bunny frowned at Jack.

"Come on… you know you are thinking about it" he whispered. "You know you graduated Head Boy!"

"I don't know. The stinker … your mama will love that idea" she sighed, then rubbed her hand on Jack's arm affectionately, "I will think about it. I need to chew it over."

"Not a problem, we are all on this cruise together" Ham said, "If you will excuse me, I need to go find my wife. She was going to get some air."

As he left the table Bunny looked at her drink as her nails tinged against the glass.

Ianto could do that ya know. He did have a degree in English Lit.
