The Lake House Retreat - Walter 29

by Awatere11

The Lake House is like a silent character in the Water Verse so let's see what happens each time the house is full of life, this instalment of Walter Verse being about the times Ianto and others are enjoying time away from the village.

"Grandy!" Valentine screamed, his hands grabbing with glee as Jenny turned in her Mother's arms to see and squeal as well. Like most twins, one spoke for both of them and Jenny did the naughty silent things while Valley was loud and obvious.

Ianto waved as Jack helped him from the cart and the other kids descended in various sizes and stages of dress which was a surprise as well. Ben told him they were going swimming and little Denbae backed that up as he held Ben's hand.

OK. Ianto watched them all move like a pack of wild hyenas, sounded sort of like them too as they all chattered and one occasionally screamed that a frog was biting them or something. Ianto found it a relief that his children could all swim, something he had bene surprised to see was like second nature as the older ones helped the littles. Seems he had taught them well, not only in the art of swimming, but caring.

Of course Curtis was there in trunks, yelling at the cold water as he waded down the boat ramp with the littles, the Bigs leaping off the end of the dock to scream with horror at the cold then laugh and splash five seconds later.

Curtis' sister Juniper was there, heavily pregnant with Walter's baby, her hands rubbing absently as her own two children ran into the fray and she laughed as her husband tried to join in only to turn at the first step into the water and run back with a look of horror "fuck that!"

For a huge strong looking He-Man Desmond was actually a big pussy and Ianto had found a soft spot for this man the first time he had met him, laying on the floor covered in kittens and a Hawk shaped attacking cape.

"Are you warm Tiger?" Jack asked as he passed, the BBQ implement sin his hand and Ton following with a look of doom and the extinguisher hugged to his chest like a baby.

"Soon will be if that goes up like last time" Ianto called back gamely and everyone roared with mirth as Jack turned to pop hip and fake glare.

"Hey! The connection was bad. Whole new set up this time, we got it from the kids for Christmas!" Jack roared with bravado "Set it up meself!"

"Don't' worry Tad, I checked the fittings when he wasn't looking" Bethy assured Ianto and he grunted as Jack began the process.

A lovely day.
