Ianto showed Sam who went quiet was she lifted it form the satin box to stare at, then she looked at Ianto with wide eyes "What if I can't pull it off?"
"And I might not look good in a suit either" the deadpan reply came.
"Oh…oh Taddy" she said with glee as she held it in her hands.
"Think about it … sunflowers and daisies. You can wear a pretty yellow dress and have a little daisy broach from Babs' collection … she has that one made of china. She will lend you that, I know she is wearing something different." He smiled "And …look … for the little princess."
Ianto pulled out a tiny replica of the tiara the artist had gleefully shown him knowing full well Ianto would love it. "Think about it darling. You and LB with matching hair? Tied up and these on … matching yellow frocks. Fen can wear a tie the same colour?"
"Oh Taddy" she repeated, still struggling to work out the cost of these extravagant gifts.
"Ton is getting married. My boy is going to be a man, a husband. I am so excited" Ianto flapped his hands "And my girls are all going to shine like diamonds!"
"You old softie" she laughed.
"Ton is even going to relent and let Hawk wear yellow" Ianto said with wide eyes like it was scandalous "Imagine. No purple in sight."
"Well … maybe his tie? A little yellow suit with a white shirt and a pale lilac tie? Ton would be well pleased" she giggled and Ianto pointed a finger at her. "And Jax … we really need to sort the kids out. I need to see what Babs is doing with the twins. Will they wear yellow?"
"White gown with tiny sunflowers embroidered around the hem, daises dotted about for Jen-Jen and Valley is wearing a little white suit with matching cuffs and little lapels. One of the Biddies already claimed the right to make them" Ianto rolled his eyes "Actually … I think it would mean a lot to Maisey if you took her close and helped her? I was thinking of taking her shopping, a special day for her because we all know the wedding is going to over stim her massively."
"So … sugar for the sour?" Sam smiled as Ianto nodded.
"Well … I will come too. I will ask Bethy if she can mind the kids and I will come so Maisey has me all to herself too. Make her my special assistant for the day or something, I am Matron of Honour ya know. I was shocked by that!"
"Ton is really ticking the boxes" Ianto laughed happily, pulling her in for a hug, and to kiss that sunshine hair. Gods, he loves her red flames.
And now … for the first time in her life… she does too.
