4 Four Calls were heard

Ianto muttered to himself as he crouched in the cramped space under the table, the wires hanging down definitely chewed through and he threw a glance at the large dog who was blinking slowly back at him with honest surprise as well.

Clearly the stray that Owen had brought into the Hub had no idea running through wires could produce this level of madness and he was as miffed as the thin pleasant chocolate tasting man.

"Right then" Ianto sighed, plugging in a wire and canting his head as it lit up, then a speaker crackled.

The voice was Toshiko's and Ianto blinked slowly with shock as he listened to her conversation.

"I don't really know Mel, last time I went on a bender with you we wound up in that shitty little café with that man who kept looking up me skirt. I had to slap him down with a bread stick!"

Ianto pulled the cord out quickly and sat gaping at the mental image of Tosh sitting on a high backed chair in a garter and high heels slapping a men writhing at her feet and he sniggered softly.

"OK, let's try this one!"

"Look I don't give a rat's arse what you want, I am telling you that if the arse end blows blue smoke when I pick her up the I will be forced to stomp your fecking head in and demand you do a better fecking job! Get it right! I want maximum effort here man!"

Ianto pulled the plug and the sniggering was now spurts of giggles as he knew Owen was talking to the mechanic who was changing out the automatic starter on his motorbike but after the last overheard call … well.

He took a deep breath and plugged in.

"But he is a divvy, I mean …. Really. So dower and moody. I think he needs a good seeing to, maybe if we get him a nice girl to give him a good clean out of his pipes if ya know what I mean! Poor lad just needs a good shag!" Gwen laughed and Ianto felt his hackles rising as he reached for the plug "Poor Andy Pandy, he is so lonely…."

Ianto had pulled the plug but caught the tail end of the conversation Gwen was having with her friend and felt instantly better. Andy. Not him. She was trying to fix Andy up with some shaggable cow. Right. He smiled softly, suddenly feeling a soft spot for her when seconds ago he might have scratched a bitch's eyes out.

"OK, fourth time lucky?" he plugged in again and this time he got singing. Soft, gentle singing and he froze as Jack's voice filled the room then he leaned back to enjoy it.

Then the song finished and Jack crooned "How was that love?"

"Wonderful, we feel much better thank you Uncle Jack. Our tum is not so grumpy!"

Ianto struggled to pull the plug as Prince William's voice seemed to echo as did the little chirp of a baby. Shit. Whoops. Jack was so SOOOOOO protective of the youngest little royal. Awwwww. He sings to him?

Bless.

He rose and walked up to Jack's office to find Jack deep in thought. "Cariad?"

"Hey, Wills says hi. Little Godfrey says gargle"

"Sir, it's Louis!" Ianto scolded, delight as Jack played with him and Jack rose, pulling him in for a soft kiss.

"Louis'en what? This tie?"

"stop it" Ianto snorted, "Every time you do that to his name then make out I was saying something else, you know my desire to correct you is overwhelming!"

"I know" Jack sighed with a dopey grin "Lunch there Friday? Katie wants that cake recipe from you."

"Yes, I will write it down, also have a new cinnamon apple pie one for her, I shall make some small samplers" Ianto agreed then stole a kiss before turning to leave and Jack caught his hand.

"The dog?"

"We might take him home for a bath and such, give it a day or two" Ianto hesitated, watching Jack's face light up, "He will need a name though."

"I can name him?" Jack asked with glee, taking off yelling "OWEN, he sez we can keep him!"

"YAYYYYYYYYYY"

Bloody kids!" Ianto snorted, his eyes betraying his amusement "Two large, grubby kids. That's all they are!"
