"I know what I want for my birthday" Hawk told the one who listened the best "Do you know?"

The goat chewed his mouthful of apple and eyeballed the child like he was ready to hear it. Jack stood nearby listening intently as Hawk leaned over to scratch the large creature's had while he held his large horns so close to the little boy's face that Ianto would have kittens … sorry… sore subject that.

"I want a putter" the boy said, grinning as the goat raised his head to stare at him again. "Do you think you can help me out King of Goats? My own putter?"

Jack tore inside "Ianto .. What is a putter? Is our boy looking into golf for a hobby? I thought he liked ice skating, is he…"

Ianto held up a hand and considered. "Putter. A putter. Er…. Like… putt-putt? Ask Ton."

Jack swung out of the kitchen then raced upstairs "Ton. What is a Putter?"

"A car" ton said while still folding the bedding back carefully before folding the blanket for the foot, now the man of his house…er…rooms… he liked to make his bed now. Ianto no longer did the alarm clock song and Angel sang it now along with Ton like it was their special song. It was bittersweet for Ianto to let his son grow up.

"A car. Hawk wants a car."

"Not a real car. A putter" Ton straightened and looked at his father "Like… Toad mobile I guess. A little play car that goes. Sees them on telly and Mason has one his Grandpa got him. It's red and looks like a real car, has pedals and a little battery you plug in to charge like a phone charger thing."

Jack went to Ianto "Who's Mason?"

"Imp's little friend. Imps' mate Sebastian's little brother. The Carens." Ianto said and Jack nodded.

"Mason got a little toy car. Calls it his Putter. What Hawk means."

"Well … best go look at that, ask his family where it came from, get one a little different. Hawk will want one just for him" Ianto node, pleased Jack had something to do. Jack was a demon when on a mission and this could take several days of sleuthing that gave Ianto some time to finish the book he had started reading.

Outside the King of Goats watched the little boy reaching into the bowl for another slice of apple and leaned in to blow good luck on him, sure that could help with such a wish.
