"Excuse me?"
Ianto turned around, the suitcase in his hand to find a woman standing by the SUV "Hello?"
"Hi. I understand there was a slight incident today… ah… there he is." She smiled as Hawk appeared, carrying a little box of things that he wanted to take home for the week. "Hello there… I hear you almost got into my school."
"Hey there" Hawk said happily and there was a moment's horror as Jack appeared in the doorway naked bar undies to see who was there but Hawk was smiling "That was funny because I don't go to school yet, soon I will. I start soon and Tsddy can't wait bcuas ei am a real job you know!"
She laughed as she looked at Ianto, not seeing Jack shoot back in to find pants "Is that right?"
"Well… he takes after his father and there are times I could burry them both in the back yard" Ianto sighed theatrically, then smiled "But then I remember that soon enough he will be in the emo stage and I will be really sorry then. Hello Helen… you were in one of my classes last year."
"Doctor Ianto Harkness-Jones. I should have known… a little boy with a cat painted jacket. So... this is Hawk. Well now… it all makes sense. All of your children infiltrate with such ease. How is Ton?" she asked and Ianto smiled back as he remembered her as one who visited the school sometimes while training to be a special needs teacher.
"Ton is great. Married, living the life. Making a wedding cake back at home that will be five tiers. I can't look" Ianto laughed.
"It's his super power!" Hawk said happily "Ton is a Cake Master."
"And you are the great Hawk. Tell me, what do you want to be when you are finished growing?" she asked.
"Oh that's easy. I want to be a good man, like my Taddy." Hawk said without even pausing for breath "Strong like Daddy, brave like Taddy and funny like Ton."
"And Walter?"
"Oh I know I will be good looking too" Hawk said with a dismissive sniff as everyone started to laugh.
Ianto pulled Hawk close and rubbed his head, telling her "He has more grounding to do but I know he will be a good man when he is finished growing into himself."
Hawk grinned as he leaned back against his lovely Taddy and he knew he had to sort out his anger thing. IT was a bit silly, after all Daddy and Taddy don't do things like that and it is a bit babyish. Besides… maybe it is time to get ready to be a good man now.
Hawk decided to try harder with his words and listen more with his ears.
For we all know he uses his little heart so very well.
