"I see. And…. Who thought it was a good idea?"

The kids all pointed to one who had the decency to nod as his Mohawk flopped about, the other kids with matching flaccid Mohawks looking just as sad. This was not how they thought it would go at all.

"And who gets to tell your parents?"

Again the looks of gloom. Ianto sighed "Well… you don't even have the right gel for it. Go see T-Rex… he might show you the proper way to get those to stand up" Ianto rolled his eyes and then called after them "You know the cold will make your ears fall off."

One of the kids giggled softly and clapped his hands over his ears, running off as the others followed with lighter steps. Ianto shook his head and turned to find Jack leaning against a fence watching "Was one of those …"

"Yep. And Margo's two… and…"

"Yeah. Saw that. Wow. Been a while since we had hair clipper maniacs. God... remember Ton wanted to shave his head that time? Man, he clung to that idea for ages" Jack laughed as he reached out and took Ianto's hand "Come on lover. The hay bales from the sleigh are still in the barn… wanna come… roll in the hay with me?"

"Are you mad? How the hell will we both get back up off the ground ya fool" Ianto laughed as he slapped at him and then leaned in to kiss him and give those bum cheeks a bit of a squeeze.

Walter watched his parents head off towards the barn, Jack's arms around Ianto to help over the uneven ground as he made it seem like he was leering at him. Walter then turned to watch Curtis who was walking towards him with that look that warned of either a fight or a kiss. Walter knew which one he wanted so he seized Curtis and kissed him lustily before any argument could start.

Always worked for Dad, right?

Curtis slapped at him and then let him kiss him some more before pulling away and wandering off after the Mohawk kids. Shit. Was one of them theirs? Walter started to check heads then relaxed, no.

"OH shit" he said out loud as he saw a little red head missing… was there a Mohawk red? He was NOT going to be the one to tell Fen and Sam that LB was in the throes of madness.
