Chrys and John went up to make up the bunks for the kids, sparing Ianto's back as he helped Jack make up their own bed down by the fire.
"Imagine, lying here with the snow outside, the tree twinkling and the fire roaring" Jack was gushing, "Your lively pale skin in the firelight. Lordy."
"Stop it" Ianto whispered, glancing at the elderly couple talking with Bets and Heck as they all agreed to an evening of cards one night.
"Walter burst in, excitedly looking through the crates until he found the one with the extra jackets and pulled one on.
"What are you up to punk?" Ianto asked.
"Stephen and I are going to head up the trail a little ways, get some shots of the leaves and stuff before the snow covers it, it's not down by the water yet and they are so pretty." Walter smiled, "Stephen has my other camera so we can get lots."
"OK love" Ianto smiled, then saw a little face peeking around the door frame. "Ton?"
"Oh, Tonny. Wanna come mate?" Walter was digging for another jacket, "You can play in the leaves with us, we'll take the hounds."
Ton ran over and presented his arms as he was warmly dressed and the boys all took off, shouting with glee.
Ianto sat on the edge of the bed and sighed softly, then flopped back into the soft bedding to try it out.
Jack was talking with John as he watched Chrys quietly pulling on her coat to go with the boys and he smiled as he saw the lovely woman she was becoming, her face full of delight as she snagged another one for Babs.
Jack turned to ask Ianto if he wanted a small walk before they sorted tea and found his husband fast asleep, one arm thrown back as he breathed deeply and Jack felt a stirring in his gut as he walked over and reached out to rub his exposed belly, finding the skin cool to the touch.
Jack swore as he started to build a fire, listening to the happiness outside as their Christmas holiday really began.
Soon the fire was roaring as Jack climbed onto the bed and leaned down to kiss his beloved, receiving a soft hum of pleasure as Ianto whispered that a spanking had been on the plate.
Jack was about to answer when Grub entered, chased by his mother and he saw his humans on the lovely puffy thing, throwing himself on them as both men screamed with horror, the mud and leaves stuck to the dog like he had been tarred and feathered.
Then …a small known fact that only dog owners know …big dogs with claws make for big holes.
Ianto was the first to feel the difference in the airbed and he let out a yodel as he pushed Jack off, followed by the bedding as he looked frantically for the holes.
"What do I do" Jack demanded, frantically trying to help, "Baby, what do I so?"
Waterproof sticking plasters!" Ianto roared, "The ones with no little air holes, move god damn it!"
Jack raced for the first aid kit as Bets starts to giggle, grabbing for Herb's arm as they watched the first aid kit fly about the cabin as Jack ran back with the lid off, cursing as he tripped over the bedding and landing face first on the bed.
"GET OF IT YA TWYPSN!" Ianto roared, slapping his arse hard, not the spanking he had wanted and he squealed as he shot back.
Ianto was muttering as he found the water proof plaster and cut pieces off, trying to plug the holes as Jack rubbed his arse and glared at him.
"Stop sulking and go got the crazy glue and one of the bike tire repair kits" Ianto demanded and Jack rose to haughtily stomp out, Marv now laughing softly with his wife.
Soon the repair kit had fixed the holes Ianto could find and he accepted that he might have to admit to a couple of hidden ones as Jack pumped it up again.
He dragged the bedding over to the corner and Jack watched with awe as 'emergency' bedding appeared like magic.
Trust Ianto to have back up bedding.
The dogs loved their new bed as well ….grub chewed the leaves happily as he rolled in it.
