Karen was awakened by loud squeals and laughing coming from Slater's room. The little ones were in the house. Karen sat up waiting for them to invade her room. She heard them as they stomped down the hallway. Then she had three giggling and laughing children climbing all over her. She was laughing so hard she peed herself and had to shoo the children out so she could change.
When she entered the kitchen her mom grabbed her and hugged her tightly. Then it was her dad's turn. He squeezed her tight then let go. She stood on tip-toes and kissed his cheek. Then she was hugging each of the little ones again. They squealed as she tickled them. They went running to their rooms to change so they could go in the lake. Soon, Karen and her mom were alone in the kitchen. Karen smiled at her mom. Slowly walked to her and hugged her once again. Mom kissed Karen on the cheek. Karen kissed her mom on the lips, hard.
"Love you mom," Karen said as she pulled her lips away.
"Love you too sweetheart," Mom said looking at Karen.
Karen looked her right in the eyes. Smiled. Then pressed her lips to her moms once more before turning to go help the little ones with their swimsuits. When the four of them came back through the kitchen, Karen's Mom was still standing where Karen had left her.
"Come on Mom, get your suit on and join us," Karen yelled.
Mon shook her head, smiled at Karen and grabbed a suitcase and headed to the master bedroom. She stripped and put on her very conservative one-piece swimsuit. She grabbed some towels and headed for the door.
Dad was sitting on the porch watching the little ones frolic in the water with their big brother and sister. When mom came out the door he smacked her on the ass.
"Nice suit there Eileen," he said.
"Thank you, dear," she said dropping the towels and headed for the shore where everyone else was.
Before she could get in the water, the little ones were splashing her. She was soaked before even getting her toes wet. She laughed and splashed them back. All of them just had a blast splashing and cavorting about in the shallows. After about an hour of horseplay, the three little ones were exhausted. Mom shooed them up to the porch with their dad for a little rest.
Mom took off for the raft, with Slater and Karen in hot pursuit. She won the race, only because they let her. The three climbed the ladder up to the deck. Karen then dove back in on the opposite side and came back up with the bag full of towels and a blanket.
"What a marvelous idea," Mom said as Slater spread the blanket out on the raft.
The three sat. Slater and Karen on either side of their mom. They all sighed as they dripped dried in the gentle breeze. Slater took his mom's hand in his.
"I really missed you all," he said.
"Me too. I didn't think I would, but I did," Karen said.
"I missed you two also," mom said looking out over the lake. "It's so pretty here. I wish we could live up her year around, but we can't."
"Why not?" Slater asked.
"Well, first of all, it gets too damn cold up here in the winter. Second of all, it gets too damn cold up here in the winter," Mom said laughing.
Slater hugged her to him and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. She leaned against him for an instant, then sat up. Slater left his arm around her shoulder. She didn't shrug it off. Then the loud noise of motorcycles filled the air. Slater looked at Karen, then toward the house. He saw the glint from chrome.
"Karen, under the raft, Mom you're with Karen," Slater shouted as he dove into the water and swam at full speed to the short.
"Mom, come on," Karen said pulling her mom over the edge away from the shore.
Mom was trying to talk as she hit the water. She was sputtering and choking as she came to the surface. Karen grabbed her by her suit and pulled her under the raft. Karen found the platform and pulled her mom to it. Mom wasn't surprised by what she stood on. Karen looked at her mom and smiled.
"You finally found it," mom said. "Now what the hell is going on and what about the little ones," she yelled.
"Shhhh. They'll be fine. Slater will take care of everything. Just watch."
They both looked up at the house. The children were nowhere to be seen. Slater stood on the porch leaning against the wall, waiting. Two men came around the corner. They both jumped when Slater said something to them. They both put their hands up and started talking very softly.
"I'm really sorry about my brother again. It seems I'm always apologizing for him."
"Maybe you should stop. Maybe you should let him sit in jail. He and his buddy were going to try rape, my sister, again."
Slater turned toward the lake. He had heard splashing. He watched as his mom and Karen walked up out of the water.
"Maybe you should listen to Slater," Karen said as she stood next to her brother.
"I will young lady. Who it this, your sister?" he asked as Karen mom stood beside Karen.
"I'm their mother, Eileen."
"Well, Eileen, it's a pleasure to meet you. I won't take up any more of your time. Have a nice day," he said, turned and walked around the corner of the house.
"Who is going to explain..."
"I will," Slater said. "Karen why don't you go in and help Dad with the little ones."
Karen smiled at her brother, nodded and went inside.
"Come on Mom, we'll talk on the raft," Slater said heading for the water.
"I don't know...hell," Mom said following her son out to the raft.
When they got settled, Mom looked at Slater. He nodded.
"We were at Sally's for breakfast. There were these two ruffians in a booth make noise and causing trouble for Sally and the cook. He warned them. That's when they noticed Karen and me. They started making crude remarks about Karen. I went over to tell them to shut up and they started to get out of the booth. The first one out I decked. The second one out Karen took out."
"What do you mean she took him out?" Mom asked.
"She kicked him in the nuts," Slater said plainly.
Mom gasped, then started to laugh.
"I bet he didn't get up too fast," she quipped.
"No, he didn't. The sheriff arrived about that time. He shooed them away. I guess they got in more trouble later because he showed up at the house to tell us they got out of jail. Karen and I spend the night in. We put the car in the garage and had all the light off. It wasn't until the next night that they showed up. I don't think they even knew it was where we lived. I think they were just looking for a place to stay and thought the place was empty.
"Anyway, I got the shotgun from the safe and loaded it with..."
"You didn't kill them," Mom said her hand over the mouth and eyes wide.
"No, mom. I would never do that. I loaded the shotgun with the birdshot half loads dad used to teach the little one how to shoot."
"Oh. Okay, continue," mom said.
"They broke in. I told them to get on their knees. They didn't and came toward me, so I shot them."
"Oh dear. How badly where they hurt?"
"Not bad. Hardly pierced the skin."
"Oh, that's good. Are you okay dear?" she asked.
"I am, mom. No sweat. They were animals, so I treated them like animals."
"Oh sweetheart," she sighed and put her arms around her son.
Mom laid her head on his shoulder. Slater laid his head against hers. Slater thought as she hugged him, 'she even smells good all wet.' He moved a little and put his arms around her. She sighed again.
"Mom, I love you," Slater said.
