"Tad?"

"In here" Ianto called, sitting in his favourite chair with an ice pack over his ankle, Captain Kitty Hawk standing there with his arms folded across his chest glowering at said ankle.

"Tad I… oh my god, what happened?"

"Do not panic citizen… I have this under control with my healing powers" the deep voiced superhero said with a waved of a gloved hand "stand back. Taddy Citizen needs air. His ankle is bad."

Sam looked at Ianto and saw nothing but amusement, guessing this was a game so she relaxed "Curtis asked me to do some knitting for the incoming bubba and I was wondering if you knew of any for a dark skinned girl? I am wondering about colours suitable for her."

"They are gonna call her Jewel" the Captain supplied in Hawk's voce as the talk of the baby overrode the game "Or maybe Hannah… demanding on her face. Maisey is excited and is rooting for Jewel."

"God that girl is good at listening at doors… yes. Those are two of the options. You know… sometimes when you first see a little one their name is already there, you just have to know it when you see it" she said and the Captain nodded solemnly.

"Actually honey, Jack is the knitter in the family. I can crochet but not knit to save meself. Jack does all the knitting, he is a wonderful knitter. When he gets back ask him, I thing he has a pattern for a little matinee jacket and as for skin tone… I think anything peach or pale lemon would look pretty. Actually… burnt orange even with white trim? Of course, I may be biased already saying she will look good in anything but I have a hunch she will be divine."

"OK, I will go sneak a peek at the nursery again, see if that helps at all."

"Ducks I think" Captain Kitty Hawk yelled after her "they have ducks on the walls. They like ducks."

"Well, there you go. Thank you Captain, saving the day once again. I will seek a pattern with little ducks around the hem or something. While with lemon ducks and accents."

"Oh she will be Welsh like the rest of us" came the bland reply of the superhero "Her accent will be too."

Sam took off giggling as Ianto pondered whether to explain what Sam had meant then decided to let it go as Captain Kitty Hawk lifted the bag of peas to lean over and lovingly kiss the 'sore ankle' before placing them back.

Another ten minutes or so and he can he healed in time to make a cake.

The Captain likes heeling with the 'beater cleaning safety' as he licks the beater and the bowl.

For safety if course, shame is someone slipped on leftovers.
