Hi guys :) I've created a poll which is on the top of my profile, where you can pick which of my ideas/stories you like so please check (and fill!) it out if you could so that I can sort out what to write after this fic is finished.

Sunday 7th August 2033, 8am

It was the morning that the Kent Family (plus two) were leaving for their Centre Parcs holiday, and Sam couldn't help but smile as she leant in the front doorway, and watched her kids await the arrival of their partners because as much as they complained to their friends about going on holiday with their parents, they were actually quite looking forward to it.

Her daughter Ella, of 14 years of age, leant on the bonnet of her mother's car after receiving a text that Ivy was just minutes away and Sam couldn't believe how beautiful she'd turn out - not that she'd realised it was because she was Ella looked very similar to herself. Ella had long hair that she had kept down to her bum because it didn't seem to grow any longer - not that it needed to - and though it wasn't thick like Sam's, it was a very similar colour and naturally had a few gentle waves in it, but the weight of her long hair usually kept those under control. Despite the fact that she hadn't been very girly as she'd grown up, she did in fact quite like painting her nails, doing her hair or makeup, but she wasn't overly fussed; it was just something to experiment with. And so she stood with her nails painted light blue whilst she wore a turquoise tank top, high waisted denim shorts and black leather Capri sandals.

On the bonnet of Tom's car, sat Daniel. And at 18 years old, he was as tall as his father, but he was a lot fitter and muscular - he didn't have a six pack, nor did he want one but he had such muscular arms that he couldn't go out without being complimented about them. He wore a simple white t-shirt, denim shorts down to the knee and a pair of flip flops with some black aviators sunglasses.

"Right, I think that's everything." Tom announced after loading up the cars with their suitcases and bags. There was a roofbox on Tom's car, and because six people were going, they were taking two cars so they'd have enough room for their things (and enough seats for everyone). "We've just got to wait for Elodie and Ivy, and then I'll put their things in, load the bikes and then we'll be ready to go." He stated.

"Okay." Sam nodded.

"Remember what we said you two; as long as you stick to the plan that me and your mum have put together, then you can do whatever you want in the free time. And we might just give you some extra spending money as well if you're good."

"Can I have the extra spending money now?" Daniel asked cheekily.

"Nope." Tom replied bluntly. Then a car pulled across Sam and Tom's driveway that they recognised to belong to Ivy's mother, and just behind them, Elodie's father dropped her off.

"Hiya girls." Tom smiled as he walked over to help them with their bags. They had both cycled round the Kent Family house in the recent weeks and dropped their bike off to be ready to take.

"Hi." Ivy smiled as she lugged her suitcase out of the car.

"Let me take that for you. Have you packed for you and Ella in here?" Tom asked sarcastically and Ivy just laughed a little as she went over to Ella.

"Sam, I've got some money here, it should cover Ivy's foo-" Ivy's mother began.

"Oh goodness, no. Please, put it away. It's our treat for the kids, you really don't need to give us anything." Sam stated.

"Are you sure?"

"Definitely, keep it." Sam nodded.

"Okay, thanks. Ivy, come here."

"Mum." She moaned as her mother gave her a final hug.

"Right, you've got your phone yes?"

"Yep."

"Okay, well have fun then." She smiled.

"Bye." Ivy waved before her mother got in the car and drove away, meanwhile Daniel helped Elodie with her suitcase after telling her father that they didn't need to give his parents any money either.

"Jesus Christ, what have you got in here?" Daniel exclaimed as he heaved the suitcase into the boot of Tom's car.

"Everything I need for the week." Elodie grinned as Daniel mockingly wiped away a bead of sweat before she leant in, cupped his cheeks with her hands and kissed him.

"Really? We haven't even set off yet and you two are already at it." Ella moaned.

"Right, you lot can either get in the cars, or help me get these bikes attached." Tom stated and everyone quickly scattered as expected. Sam was going to drive with Ella and Ivy in the back, whilst Tom was taking Daniel and Elodie. Soon, the bikes were put on the bike racks and then they set off for the week without the worry of the dogs as they had both passed away within the previous year at 17 years old.

10am

"No way is this our place." Daniel said out of disbelief as he dragged both his, and Elodie's suitcase along a pathway in the middle of a forest, not far from the car park.

"It is indeed. We paid extra to get a treehouse cabin rather than an apartment." Sam stated as they all looked up at the wooden cabin build within the trees with balconies and a large decking area, suspended in the air. "There're 3 ensuite bathrooms but me and your dad are picking ours first. Then you four can pick." Sam stated as she walked up the steps to their accommodation whilst Tom struggled with Sam's suitcase. "Did I mention we've got an outdoor hot tub?" Sam grinned.

"Shot gun we're going in it first!" Ella exclaimed.

"No, we're older, we're going in it first." Daniel stated.

"We've got the whole week here, can you two not just sort it out?" Tom laughed as Sam opened the front door and they all walked into the living area and the six split into their pairs as they explored the 'treehouse'.

"No way! We've got a sauna!" Ella exclaimed after opening a door to a small wooden panelled room with a monitor on the side to control the temperature.

"Found the hot tub!" Ivy announced.

"Right, this is our bedroom, you four can decide on the one downstairs." Sam shouted from the upstairs. There was a spiral staircase in the middle of the living room and the only thing upstairs was one bedroom with an ensuite, but it also had a balcony with the most incredible view of the forest.

The teenagers actually sorted out who was in which room rather easily because they were exactly the same size, it was just that one of the ensuites had a bath and a shower, rather than just a shower, and Daniel and Elodie planned on making the most of the time that they had together before Daniel moved away for university so they wanted the bath for intimate encounters. Sure, both of the bedrooms downstairs only had two single beds in them, but Daniel and Elodie could easily push them together. Ella and Ivy on the other hand kept their beds separate. Soon they unpacked the car and stocked the kitchen up with food that they had brought and then Sam summoned them in the living room.

"Right, this is the plan for the week. And as long as you come to the activities that're on there, you can do whatever you like during the free time." Sam stated as she placed a sheet of paper on the dining table. It read:

-Sunday: -

-Monday: Rock Climbing 10am-Midday

-Tuesday: Abseiling 3-5pm

-Wednesday: Archery 10am-Midday

-Thursday: Mini golf 10am-11am

-Friday: Bowling 7pm onwards

-Saturday: Paintballing 2-4pm

-Sunday: We will be leaving by 8am so be ready (yes, this is aimed at you, Daniel.)

"There're plenty of other activities, we just thought that you'd want to do some things by yourself and then we'll do the competitive things together." Tom stated.

"For example, you lot are all going to get thrashed by me at bowling." Sam said smugly. "Oh, the only other thing was that you can't do paintball." Sam said to Ella.

"Why? It's not a contact sport." Daniel pointed out.

"No, but people with healthy blood get bruises when they get hit by a paintball; if Ella did it, she'd come out with bruises all over her." Sam stated bluntly.

Daniel and Elodie had gone out for a walk, whilst Ella and Ivy had gone for a cycle so Sam and Tom were left, and they had chosen to be the first to use the infrared sauna. There were two shelves, or benches, in the room and Sam was lying on the top on in her light blue bikini, whilst Tom wore a pair of black swimming trunks and sat on the lower bench.

"How about tomorrow we go horse riding?" Tom suggested and Sam gave him a look one would give if someone suggested a chocolate teapot. "What?"

"Nothing. It's just you didn't strike me as a man who'd like riding horses." Sam smirked.

"Well I know what you like riding." Tom grinned. "But it only has two legs, not four-"

"Tom!" Sam laughed as she playfully tapped the back of his head with her foot before she resumed her position of looking up at the ceiling.

"What? I'm just glad you're over the menopause because when you were going through it, I don't think I've ever been for that long without having sex since before I lost my virginity." He smirked - Sam had been somewhat lucky because though she had endured terrible hot flushes, palpitations and other symptoms at the time, she had stopped her periods almost 18 months ago, and thankfully, unlike some who continued to have symptoms for years, Sam's symptoms had stopped around the 12 month mark after her last period.

"Wow, way to make me feel bad." Sam moaned.

"No, that wasn't meant to make you feel bad, I was just stating a fact." Tom said. "I know how unwell you were and I wouldn't change a thing if I could go back." He smiled as he raised his hand to the second shelf and entwined his fingers with hers.

"So? Horse riding tomorrow?" Sam questioned.

"It's a date." Tom nodded.

Monday 8th August 2033, 10am

"Are you scared?" Daniel grinned at his father as they put on their harnesses to go rock climbing but Tom's hands were shaking.

"No, course not." Tom lied.

"It's alright." Sam said reassuringly. She had already put her harness on fine because she had experience of the sport so she took it upon herself to put Tom's on as she tightened the straps around his waist and then around his thighs. "Tom, you don't have to do this if you don't want to." Sam said softly as she took his hand into his, and it was only then that Sam realised how sweaty and shaky Tom's hand was.

"I've just told him I'm not scared I can hardly pull out now can I?" Tom whispered.

"Well I could tell him you're not feeling well and you could just watch us. Or you could just grow a pair and take it like a man." Sam stated bluntly. "Everyone has their fears Tom, you just don't like heights."

"Yeah? And what's your fear?" Tom demanded.

"Being apart from you." Sam pouted before she pulled her red helmet on and Tom rolled his eyes before he wiped his hands on his jeans again. Thankfully, the rock climbing was booked in sessions of 10 people, but the other family of 4 hadn't turned up so it was just those 6.

"Right, I need three volunteers to go first please." Mark, the instructor, announced.

"I will." Ella and Sam said at the same time.

"I'll go as well." Ivy offered.

"Lovely. Right, if you'd just like to each stand where there's a rope and I'll hook you up." He stated and soon, all three were attached to safety lines and with a helmet and harness on each, they were ready to go. "Okay, if you guys climb up as far as you can. And then let me know when you're ready to come down and we can switch. Plus, you guys have got a 2 hour slot so you can go as many times as you like." Mark stated.

"Wait wait wait." Tom said abruptly. "You've all got to have a race." He stated.

"What?!" Ella shrieked. "But mum is going to beat us so easily." She protested.

"Fine. I'll give you girls a 10 second head start." Sam stated.

"Told you you'd beat us." Ella grumbled as she walked away from the wall so that Tom, Daniel and Elodie could get ready.

"Hey, you beat me. At least you didn't come last." Ivy smiled. Ella smiled before she leant in and kissed Ivy briefly on hand lips which caused Sam to roll her eyes at how easily her daughter could change her mind sometimes. However, Sam then noticed that once Mark had attached the safety line to Tom, he kept on looking up at the top of the wall and then back down again so she went over to him.

"You don't have to do this." Sam said quietly.

"No, I do." Tom stated. "If my 14 year old daughter can climb a stupid wall, then I should be able to."

"Just keep on focusing on the next place that you're going to put your hands and don't look down. You'll be fine." Sam smiled as she leant up and went to kiss Tom on the lips but their helmets got in the way and they simply smacked each other's head.

"Serves you right." Daniel proclaimed. "I get told off for 'public displays of affection' so that was karma for being hypocritical." Daniel smirked.

"This is just, so nice." Tom said softly as he and Sam slowly made their way along a trail that had been designed for horse riders in a field that could be seen by the instructors who were back towards the stables. Thankfully, the group that were taking part had spread out around the field along a single track so they weren't within ear shot of anyone and they had even managed to go on the biggest horse that they had: an incredibly tall, muscular black stallion that they had had to get on via a hay bale because he was so tall. And Sam was sitting towards the front of the saddle whilst Tom sat behind her with his arms around her, holding the reins.

"Mm. No kids fighting or snogging. Plus your hands aren't shaking anymore." Sam quipped cheekily.

"I climbed the wall, didn't I?" Tom protested.

"Yes you did, and I'm proud of you." Sam smiled as she twisted her neck slightly and kissed Tom on the lips before she faced the direction that they were heading in as he the horse walked on. "Y'know, I got up for a drink of water in the night and when I went downstairs, I could hear Daniel and Elodie. They were at it like rabbits, it it was nearly one o'clock in the morning."

"Well, it's their first time that they're not sleeping over at someone else's house with their parents next door so they're probably just making the most of the time they've got away from us." Tom reasoned. "Plus you can't complain, you only went down for a glass of water because we were going at it like rabbits until midnight." Tom said smugly.

"I think we should stop using condoms now." Sam admitted as she enjoyed the feel of her husbands thighs touching hers all the way down to their knees, and his arms wrapped around her to control the great animal that they were riding.

"Yeah? It's up to you. I've been thinking that for a little while now but I wanted to leave the decision down to you." Tom stated.

"Well that's sorted then. We won't use one tonight." Sam announced.

"Oh, so we're having sex tonight then are we?" He smirked.

"Well, I think we should, in your words, make the most of the time we've got without the kids sleeping in a bedroom next to us." Sam said mockingly.

"Ah, there is that. Yes." Tom nodded. "There's also the prospect of me and you not sharing a hot tub together yet." He added.

"That can be arranged." Sam purred.

Coming up: Tom gives Daniel some money to take Elodie out for dinner one night, whilst Sam and Tom have a little bit too much wine to drink and end up in the hot tub together. The next day, Ella and Ivy go swimming at the tropical swimming resort and then they make the journey back to Holby.
