They were wandering along with Ton racing ahead and then stopping to wait, then racing ahead again. Even without reins he was employing the Ton Tug.
"Tonny, this way love" Jack called as he changed direction and Ianto became aware of noise, noise he knew only too well.
Children.
Jack let go of Ianto's hand and let him surge forward to make the entrance to the large room his mouth dropping as he looked over the sea of children playing within.
"Cariad?"
Ton had slid around his Taddy and saw the wonderful gift his Daddy had organised, screaming as he ran with his arms over his head into the madness that had started without him.
"Hello there, I'm Mandy" a happy lady approached with a large opening smile, "If you tell me your stinker's name I can mark him off, he was pre enrolled?"
"Carlton, Ton for the name tag" Jack said as Ianto continued to blink and look around with shock as over thirty DS children played with open abandon.
"Cariad?"
"This cruise is not just for us" Jack explained as he stepped back to Ianto, both of them watching Mandy chase Ton like a large beast, his screams of glee as she caught him and cuddled him while deftly applying his name tag "This is a cruise for parents with Down's Syndrome children. The kids have this place with special activities and such. Like a health camp but for us as well. We can get pampered knowing he is well looked after by specially trained staff who do this every day. Look at him love, he already chose a girlfriend."
They watched Ton tuck a smaller child into his armpit as he argued with someone about glitter, then a boy of equal size slid in behind him for a cuddle attack, hugging ensuing as they all decided to hug him hello.
"Oh Jack, you wonderful man" Ianto sighed happily, turning for his own cuddle attack "He loves it."
"I bet he won't even think about Badger now" Jack agred happily as Ton seized the little girl he had decided on, running with her screaming gleefully in his arms towards a ball pit. Other children followed with equal glee as the staff moved quickly to watch for any rough housing.
"Now then Doctor Harkness-Jones" Jack purred as he pulled Ianto towards the door, "Our son knows how to get back to the cabin, he knows where the food room is as he called it, lets go get us some relaxation time. Yeah?"
Ianto glanced back on time to see Ton erupt from the pit with a roar, a large monster coming out of multicoloured water as others screamed and pretended to be scared. Apart from those who were laughing too much.
Yep.
Jack had scored big time here.
