Angel was sitting with little Hawk on her lap, her fingers stroking his little head as she marvelled at his springy hair.

"He is sooooo adorable" she sighed, another huge masculine finger stroking the hairline "Imagine tiny little cornrows. God, I would love to do that."

"When he's a little bigger" Ianto said diplomatically "It will be his choice when he can say. For now, I just want it comfortable for him. If he likes his little afro, who am I to say anything about it but … I did love those tight little curls when he was born, like a number one."

"Awwww, he is going to be such a heart breaker" she gushed happily the little face lighting up as Ton came into the room.

"TONTO!"

Everyone froze, Ianto holding his breath as he wondered if that was a word. His first word? Really?

"Hawkeye, did you … did you say my name?" Ton asked with shock.

"TONTO!"

Ton looked at Ianto "Is he?"

"Yes love. Looks like his first word is Tonto" Ianto said, swallowing back the disappointment that it was not Tadda. Or Dadda who was sitting with an equally shocked face.

"Me?" Ton asked with glee, his hands going into Jazz Mode "Are you calling me Tonto?"

"TONTO!" Hawk confirmed with a little finger point.

"AWWWWW, Ton mixed with Toto. I AM just like Taddy!" Ton said with such delight that it dissipated any and all disappointment Ianto may have felt, replacing it with joy for his boys as they grinned at each other and Ton let the little man gasp his hand.

"You are both so sweet" Angel sighed, "OH my god, was that his first word?"

"Yeah" Jack sighed "Looks like he wants Ton's attention the most."

"Don't' be silly" Ton snorted "He already gets yours and Tadda's I need to be told sometimes. You know I have so much to do. Hawkeye wants all of us to see him. He likes that. Sort of like Walter, he needs some light."

"Oh sugar, we all need a little light at times, as long as it's our best side" Angel chortled and Ton turned to her.

"Oh Aunty Angel. You are so pretty even the Gods can't outshine you!"

Angel preened at her favourite boy.

Yes. Here in RL I have a stalker who takes photos of me, stands with his arms folded watching me as I park my car, get groceries out and do my daily things. Sometimes he just watches, sometimes he verbaly abuses me. The other day I drove up my driveway before he was ready and he got angry that he missed a photo opportunity so he screamed that he was going to kill me. He lives next door, we have to share the driveway and parking area.

Local police know him and think he is harmless. As he has suffered head injuries when younger he is known as a weirdo. They just keep telling me he hasn't actually done anything as it's always on his property or public areas that he does it. Despite me having witnesses to the threats, they still think he is just whacko. There is nothing I can do but keep blinkering.
