Fen and Walt were there… they drove up and were there. Maisey had been in the back like a doggie on a car ride too. Hawk was happy as he flitted between his two big bothers betting cuddles, kisses and lots of nurses. Ianto was happy too, feeding them and fussing as everyone laughed and the mood lightened.
Then Daddy went and told EVERYONE what Hawk did. Walt staring at his little brother with mute surprise as Maisey snorted and said "Well…that was a dick move!"
"Moo-moo!" Walt said softly "Don't' be a cow."
She grinned.
"Anyway, I brought up the black wrangler like you asked" Fen said as he pointed with his hand towards the parking lot "He is really gonna pay that for it?"
"Yeah, has a green one that is playing up but it was his son's" Jack said softly "You know… the son who drowned a couple of years back. I had no idea parts were so hard to find for them and our black beast is on her last legs. Best she go to a good home where she can donate to the other one, keep a memory alive a little longer."
Hawk sat bolt upright, staring at his father, then sliding from his chair to walk out and stare at the black vehicle in the driveway.
Not his car.
Maisey had followed him out and stood there watching his face change as he tried to decide what he felt about all of this. "You OK? Trying to fart?"
"I thought.. I thought my punishment would be losing my kitty car" he said "It wasn't."
"Don't' be silly, they don't confiscate things like that" she said with a shake of her head "If it is a really bad thing they tell you to choose what you have to give up for a while. I have had to give up TV soooo much."
"I was bad."
"You were naughty. No such thing as bad, Grandy sez you are not bad until you are a Grup doing the same things. It is only naughty when you know it is and don't do it again" she counselled with her arm around his shoulders "don't' worry Hawkeye. You are not bad. You are a Harkness-Jones. We are not allowed to be bad… it's a rule. We can be naughty sometimes. As long as we own up to it and take our punishments… but being bad is not allowed. OK?"
Hawk grinned as he hugged her back and nodded.
Sure.
Maisey had such a good way of putting things.
Yeah.
He was not bad… but he was naughty.
And he knew the difference... bad is doing wrong things for no reason and not caring about it …. and naughty is doing wrong thing knowing you are not supposed to. Yeah.
Naughty.
