I glanced at the rear view mirror, catching Haylies eyes before I glanced at Aria instead. Nervous didn't even start covering how I felt about this day, because no matter how much I loved my nieces, I don't know if I'd be able to get through a whole day with them. At Disneyland.
As if sensing my tension, my wife reached for the hand I wasn't holding the steering wheel with a gave it a squeeze. "We'll survive." She said quietly with a small smirk on her lips.
"If we don't get deaf first." I forced myself to grin back at her, nodding to our older niece who kept singing to matter if the song was over.
She smirked wider as I parked the car, leaning into me to press a quick kiss on my cheek before getting out of the car. "Go to Jules, I'll take Haylie." She said in the process.

She smirked wider as I parked the car, leaning into me to press a quick kiss on my cheek before getting out of the car. "Go to Jules, I'll take Haylie." She said in the process.
I let out a sigh and did as told, walking to the other side of the car and opening the door for Jules. "Here we are." I told her and smiled at how much she looked like my sister when she was a kid. Kids were really adorable, too bad they didn't come with a remote to make them stop moving and talking.
"Finally." She said back with a sassy expression on her face as she jumped out of the car, making me raise one eyebrow. I really wasn't used to have kids around, at all, and I probably would never be able to. That was why having babies wasn't on my menu.
"Are you ready little cutie?" Aria asked Haylie with a smile and she nodded, already wearing Mickey ears from the last time her parents brought her here.
"Mickey Minnie!!" She chanted, like she'd been doing for most of the car ride.
"Mm, Mickey Minnie," Ar agreed with her and lifted her out of the seat, holding her against her, looking as if she was considering something. I wasn't good with kids and even if Aria was better than I was, she wasn't that comfortable around kids either. We just didn't know what to do. "Seb will you pop the trunk and get the stroller out?" She asked, grabbing Haylie's sweater off the seat for later.
"Yeah," I replied and lifted the beast of a stroller out of the back, closing the trunk and staring at it. "Do you know how to set it up?"
"It should just unfold..." She trailed off and wrinkled her nose, looking at Haylie who was watching us with a smile.
"I want to meet Elsa from Frozen," Jules told us, still holding onto my hand.
Aria smiled at her and set Haylie on her feet beside us, messing around with the stroller until our little human could fit inside of it safely, "Alright! We're ready to go!" She said with enthusiasm after a few minutes, setting her inside of it and grinning as she kicked her feet happily.
I sighed as I started walking toward the entrance, Jules marching with me triumphantly while I wondered how long it'd be before she'd throw a tantrum. She was a good kid for what I knew, but it was almost bound to happen because that was what kids did. In that moment I'd probably run. I had no patience with big humans, I had no patience with little ones either. After buying the tickets we finally stepped into the park and all of us stopped, the girl's eyes on me while I looked around. I felt as if they were waiting for something from me and I wondered if that was how fathers felt. "What you girls want to do first?" I asked instead, since princesses and magic weren't my things.
"I want to see the castle!" Jules was the first to answer, pointing her tiny fingers in the air and both Aria and I followed it to see what she was talking about. It was the Disney castle you saw everywhere but I really had no idea of what there could be inside.
Aria smirked at her, "Do you know from what fairytale is it from?" She asked at our niece who shook her head and looked at my wife as if she could explain her the meaning of life. "The sleeping beauty!" Ar added and I saw amusement on her face. I didn't get it though, it had to be a girls thing.
The little girl frowned, "I don't know that one." She said seriously before turning to me, "Sebby can you read it to me tonight?"
"Of course cutie." I smiled at my niece, perfectly aware that she'd probably fall asleep by the time we'd take them back home but I knew that she wouldn't forget so one day or another I'd have to keep my promise. I didn't mind that, I did so little for my family, and that little I wanted to do it always.
In that moment Haylie cut into the conversation, "Choo choo!" She exlaimed loud, getting our attention.
"I want to go on the train!" Jules said as soon as we realized that the baby's excitement was dued to the silly train which was approaching the square in front of the castle.
I glanced at Ar, wondering what we could do. The girls had different ages and one of them was in a stroller at the moment so we had at least two problems. "I say that since aunt Aria's already been here she decides. Plus she was a princess before becoming a queen so she knows everything about castles and magic." I smirked at my wife, letting her to be in charge since I wasn't interested in leading two little girls. She was a lot better than me at that.
"I say we all go on the train," Aria smirked at me while I silently wished I could stand around and watch the stroller. Unfortunately for us, every ride had its very own stroller parking lot. "We can leave the stroller off to the side," She added before I had the chance to offer sticking behind to watch our things. It was Disneyland and no one was going to touch a stroller, not when there were a million kids and families around.
"Have you ever been on a train?" Jules asked me as she gave my hand a tug in the direction of the strollers.
"A real one, yes," I replied.
She wrinkled her nose and kept looking at me as if she were studying my face. "Is that one not real?" She asked eventually, still staring at me while Ar parked the strolled between another two and lifted Haylie out, keeping her in her arms. I wondered how lond she'd resist before leaving the little girl to me.
"No," I replied honestly, catching the look Ar was giving me.
"It's a magic train instead!" Ar smiled at me with wide eyes, watching as both of the girls faces lit up with excitement.
Jules looked up at me again and smiled, "I want to sit by you."
I smiled back at her, always a little touched by how much this little girl loved me no matter if she didn't see me that often. "I wouldn't have it any other way," I replied and lifted her up into my arms, climbing on the train and setting her beside me while Ar sat down on the other side, Haylie tucked in next to her. "Make sure you hold on," I added and Jules nuzzled my side, holding onto me instead of the railing in front of us.
Ar let out a soft laugh and smiled at me, "This is my first train ride."
I raised one eyebrow as I looked at her, doubting that it really was. "Your first magical train ride?" I asked and for a moment I ignored my nieces in favor of focusing on my wife. That was another thing about kids, you always had to pay a lot of attention to them and it had to be exhausting.
"Yes." Jules answered instead, wrinkling her nose as the train started moving.
Ar let out a small laugh, and I was smirking myself for how cute the little girl was. "I think that uncle Sebby was talking to me cutie." She said softly but her amused face was still in place.
"Didn't dad take you here?" I asked and my eyes were back on Jules who was sporting an innocent face which didn't fit her that much. For what I knew she wasn't a bad kid, but there was no kid on earth who was completely innocent.
"Dad train." Haylie cut into the conversation, giving us a serious look and moving her hands as if she was trying to explain to us how the world worked.
Ar poked her side and made her giggle, "Is your dad a train?" She asked, both Jules and I chuckling.
"No!" Haylie answered shaking her head and holding onto Aria tighter when the train sped up, her cute face looking a little worried and I wished she didn't start crying. I couldn't stand crying babies, I didn't know what to do with them.
Jules instead, didn't seem to be fazed at all. Pointing to the castle we could see on our right, she looked up at me, "I want to go there next."
I glanced at the castle that didn't have much in common with a real life castle and I wondered what could be inside of that. The museum of fairies? I had no idea. "Whose is that?" I asked.
"Cinderella's castle." She answered solemnly, looking back at us, "She's my favorite."
"I thought I was." Aria said back with a fake frown.
"But uncle Sebby said you're not a princess...you're my favorite queen aunt Aria!" Jules explained and gave her a big smile that showed how much she looked at her aunt as if she was really coming from a fairy tale.
"Thank you Princess Jules," Aria smiled back at her and her mouth fell open for a moment before her huge smile returned.
Her head rocked back to look up at me "Did you hear that Uncle Sebby? Aunt Aria said that I'm a princess!"
"Me too!" Haylie added, still clinging onto Ar.
"We need Minnie ears with tiaras," Jules told her sister while me and Ar exchanged glances. It was going to be a long day and a pricey one too. "And I want to bring mom and dad a present!"
Aria tore my gaze from me and looked back down at the little girl cuddled up to me, "What do you want to get them?"
"A stuffed animal," She said with a big grin. "A huge one that Uncle Sebby will have to carry because it'll be too big for even you to carry!"
I broke into a laugh and shook my head, "What will your mom do with a stuffed animal that big?"
"Daddy won't let us have a dog, so we can pretend the stuffed animal is our pet," She wrinkled her nose but had a mischievous grin on her face.
"Your dad would love that," I told her, still grinning at my niece while Ar watched the two of us.
Jules nodded her head at me, "Can I have a stuffed animal too? I want Ariel."
"I thought Cinderella was your favorite," Ar lifted an eyebrow at her.
She shrugged her shoulders, "I love all of the princesses."
I stopped paying attention to the biggest girls and focused on Haylie, who was the harder one for me to handle. Or understand. How could you guess a kids thought when she barely talked and didn't make too much sense anyway? That was what threw me off balance. It had been different when Jules was a baby, she seemed to be content when I picked her up and that was all for her, while Haylie was like a huge question mark. The train came to a stop and I broke out of my daze, realizing that all the girls were looking at me and waiting for me to do something, or say something, I wasn't sure. "If you'll be good, you'll have your Ariel." I said eventually as I helped them all out the train, one by one, saving a special treatment to my wife who got a quick kiss too.
"I'm always good." Jules retorted, sporting a serious face that killed me a little.
Ar glanced at me, then back at the little girl, "Do you think that if I'll be good, uncle Sebby will get me an ice cream?" She asked her, a small smirk playing on her lips while I adjusted Haylie back on the stroller and had to stop my eyes from automatically roll.
"Me too ice cream Seby!" My youngest niece cut in the conversation, looking as if she was set on that idea now and wouldn't take a no as an answer.
"Thank you." I muttered to Ar as I straighten myself up, wondering when exactly I had started being in charge of the situation again. I didn't want that. "What if I'm good instead? What will I get?"
"You can choose between ice cream and a stuffed animal." Julie answered then started giggling, even covering her mouth as if she couldn't help herself.
I poked her nose and I smiled, "Hilarious cutie." I commented while my mind was already working for the future. I needed to had a plan, pretty much always. "What do you girls want to do now?" I asked but I looked at Ar, letting her know that the decision was hers.
Aria lifted her eyebrow since my eyes were on her but she seemed as clueless as I was. Except for I could stand there thinking for hours and not get a decent idea, while she would get a very good one instead. "Let's get ears!" She said with a big smile, moving her gaze back and forth between the girls to get them on board with the plan while I thanked god that we didn't have to stand in one of the many long lines for the rides. "And we'll grab a few fastpass tickets on the way so we won't have to stand in a million lines forever."
"Good idea," I replied, not having done research but guessing that getting fastpass tickets would come in handy.
"Can we go on all of the rides?" Jules asked while we walked past a few little kid rides, as I was grabbing the correct tickets for them so we could come back later.
Ar smiled at her as she slipped her hand into her aunt's, "As long as all of us can go on them."
She nodded knowingly, "Haylie might be too small for some of the rides... me too. Even if I'm a big girl," She added with a shrug.
"Well those ones are too scary anyways," Ar told her with a small frown. "Even I'm afraid of them."
Her eyes widened before she turned her face to me, while I was pushing Haylie in the stroller, "Are you afraid too??"
I shook my head, offering a smirk to the little girl. "I'm afraid of nothing." I answered and it wasn't, of course, true. I had fears, but mostly involved my job, Aria, and my family.
Jules looked at me with wide eyes then looked back at Ar, "Is it true aunt Aria?" She asked, as if she didn't believe me.
Ar shot me a smirk before answering to Jules, widening her eyes herself. "Yes. Once he even swam with sharks!"
"They could eat you!" Jules said back and ran to me to wrap her arms around my leg, stopping me from walking further as she looked up at me with her big gorgeous eyes, "I don't want Uncle Sebby to die!"
I grinned, running my fingers through her hair gently, because she was being too cute even if she didn't make too much sense. "I'm alive little girl."
"Nothing or no one can stop your Uncle." Ar smirked at our niece then smirked wider when Jules tried to climb on my leg and I had to pick her up, leaving the stroller to Ar again while Haylie looked at us completely unfazed.
"Only aunt Aria can." I said in a teasing tone as I glanced at my wife, her sticking her tongue out at me. I enjoyed the nice moment, wondering how long it would last. Probably until we'd get the stupid ears.
Jules laughed and nuzzled me while looking at Ar for confirmation. "I'm the queen of everything," Ar said with a shrug before winkling at her and grinning.
"Aunt Aria the queen of everything!!" She dubbed her and Ar laughed.
"It has a ring to it," Aria nodded her head and looked down at Haylie. "What do you think cutie?"
"Princess Haylie!" She joined the conversation and clapped enthusiastically. Aria smiled at her and looked at me, I still had Jules in my arms, a smile on my face while the little girl told me a story about her first week of school. Things looked and seemed so much easier from the outside, maybe I had underrated myself when I had said I couldn't handle kids...I could. For one hour or two. "Ears!! Minnie!!" Haylie cut into the conversation and Ar lead the way in the direction of where the tiny finger was pointing.
"Which ones do you like?" Ar asked Haylie after bending down to her level, grabbing the pink sparkly ones she was staring at.
She made a grabby gesture back and smiled when Ar put them on her head, "These please!!"
I put Jules back on her feet and watched her try on a few pairs. "Where are yours?" I grinned at Ar.
"Where are yours instead?" She smirked, looking amused at the thought only.
I took advantage of the moment to wrap my arm around Aria's shoulders and pull her against my side for a quick kiss since both of the little girls were too busy with their ears to pay us any attention. How did parents even have more kids? The time for sex didn't have to be much. "Nowhere. I'm no mickey mouse." I said against her lips and grinned, staring down into her gorgeous eyes that would always be my greatest weakness. That and her a.ss.
"I'm no Minnie mouse either." She said back as her smirk matched mine, her hand set on my chest gently. "But since I'm silly I might get a pair of ears anyway."
"That's because you're cute." I kept grinning, then we both pulled away from each other when Jules started tugging at our clothes.
She raised a crown towards Aria, it being sparkly and borderline ridiculous with all that glitter and a bunch of feathers too, but still cute. "This is for you!"
Ar looked down at our niece and smiled big as she took the tiara from her hand and I swear, I thought she'd tear up any moment. "No ears for me?" She asked softly and wore the crown.
Jules shook her head and Haylie clapped her hands again, "Queen Aria!" She said in her tiny voice while I looked at the three girls being adorable with a smile on my own lips.
"Let's take a picture." I announced as I freed Haylie from her stroller once again, setting her on her feet while Aria bent on her knees to level the little girls who were already hugging her, one for each side. "Perfect." I grinned, snapping the picture before slipping my phone into my jeans pocket.
"I want to see it!" Jules protested as the hug was broken.
"Later." I said quietly, then my eyes moved to Haylie who was walking a little weird, then stopped on a stop and started marching there, her hands between her legs and I blinked. More like, I was petrified. "What's wrong?" I asked slowly, more to Aria than to the little girl.
Haylie frowned, "I have to pee." She answered and now that I thought about it she did look as if she was pissing her pants, but I still didn't know what to do, how to react to that, so I just looked at Aria again.
Aria checked her pants to make sure they weren't wet and then swooped her up into her arms, glancing at me while I looked at them in horror. "Let's get you to the nearest bathroom," She smiled at Haylie since she looked on the verge of tears and Ar didn't look too far from that too. "Seb, I-"
"Over there," I pointed towards a line of women, the line looking like it was leading to a ride instead of a bathroom. Her lips fell open and prayed that Haylie could make it to the bathroom. "I'll pay for everything and then wait with Jules for you guys," I added, reaching for the crown on her head and the ears that Haylie had on.
"Thank you," Ar said with a quick smile before walking as fast as possible to the bathroom.
I let out a sigh before glancing down at Jules, who was looking bored. "Let's go paying." I told her, offering a smile as I grabbed her hand before leading her towards the register.
She tugged at my arm a second later and I eyed the doll in her free hand. "Can I have her uncle Sebby? She's the last one I need for my collection." She asked in an overly sweet tone, her lips pouting just so slightly and I felt bad for her father. She was going to be hard to handle in her teens.
I processed her request, wondering what would my sister do, then I decided to compromise. "You have to choose between her and Ariel. I think they wouldn't get along together." I said seriously.
The little girl giggled, the sound so cute that I found myself smiling. "Okay uncle Sebby." She said, looking content and lifting the doll towards me, "This one! Thank you Sebby!"
I grab it then paid for all the nonsense we got, thinking that it was crazy how much that stuff costed but the girls seemed happy and that was all that mattered. "Do you think Aria and Haylie are back?" I asked my niece as we walked back to the stroller and towards the bathroom exit.
She just shrugged, too busy with her new doll. In that momebt the two other girls came out of the door. "She barely made it," Ar told me in a hushed voice, taking the silly crown from me as I held it out for her with a smirk.
"Thank god she did," I replied with a small sigh.
"Ears!!" Haylie clapped her hands like that entire episode hadn't just happened and Jules was still lost in her doll.
I shrugged when Ar raised an eyebrow at it, "She asked for the doll. Said she needed it for her collection."
She smiled, "No wonder you're her favorite."
"We made a deal." I explained as I glanced at Jules, who was adjusting the ears on her sisters head.
When she noticed our eyes on her she turned her head and gave Ar a serious face. "Uncle Sebby told me I could have Ariel or the doll so I chose the doll." She said nonchalantly, killing me a little for how she talked as if she was a grown up girl. "But I think that Haylie still wants Ariel."
My face dropped while Aria laughed and Haylie started singing the Ariel song, dancing and jumping around us like a crazy kid. Good god. "Don't try tricking your uncle, I did before and it never worked." Ar whispered loudly to our older niece, as if she was telling her a secret.
Jules put a hand next to her mouth, "Tell him it's for you aunt Aria." She said, thinking that I couldn't hear her.
I smirked and shook my head, then let out a sigh, wondering how exactly how I was going to survive the whole day. "Okay, enough nonsense girls." I said as I grabbed Haylie and she started kicking her legs, making it clear that she had no intention to stay in her stroller again. "Alright, no stroller for you."
"I want to stay into the stroller!" Jules said out of nowhere, already on her way when Aria stopped her by taking her hand.
"Us big girls walk instead." My wife said softly as she smiled at the little girl, surprising me for how good she was being at convincing the girls to do what she wanted. Or I wanted.
Haylie looked up at me, raising her arm and moving her fingers in my direction, "Hand Seby." She said simply.
I gave her my hand, while I used my free hand to push the stroller, even though I wasn't sure of where we were going. Was it lunch time for the girls? I had no idea, Aria and I usually ate when we were hungry but I guessed that little girls needed a more rigid schedule. "What should we do now?" I asked them, even though the question was more for Ar than our nieces.
"Is anyone hungry?" Aria asked the girls who both shook their heads.
"Princess Sofia!!" Jules said from beside Ar and pointed to a young girl who was dressed up like a princess. She had to be sweating a lot under that constume and for a moment I felt bad for her, having to working under the sun surrounded by crazy screaming kids while pretending to be someone who didn't even exist. "Can we meet her? She's my favorite."
My eyebrow raised up since we'd heard that line from her more than a few times today alone, "I thought Cinderella was your favorite."
"I said they all are," Jules gave me a silly grin. "Will you take a picture of me with Princess Sofia? Please Uncle Sebby!!"
"I will," I said simply while we headed in the direction of the tiny princess.
"Princess Sofia used to be a normal girl like me, but then her dad married a king," She told us while we walked, her eyes brighter than they had been all day and she'd been pretty excited a few time already.
Ar grinned at her, "You're far from normal."
Jules flashed Ar a smile then looked at her sister, "Don't you want to meet her too, Haylie?"
"Princess!!" Haylie echoed.
We stopped and watched as the girls took each others hands and spoke to the Disney princess while Ar took a picture. "They're so fucking cute," She said quietly while beside me, not taking her eyes off the little girls.
I turned my head to look at my wife, giving her all my attention for a moment since with the girls it was as if two eyes weren't enough, two weren't either, and we had to stare at them constantly. "They are." I agreed before glancing at our nieces again, Haylie tugging at the poor girl's dress while Jules was talking to her like a machine. "But they're a handful too." I added.
I felt Arias body lean against my side as she laughed, "Seb, they're being angels so far." She said in an amused tone.
"That's why I could never have kids." I said more seriously, because she was right. Except the bathroom incident and the general awkwardness nothing special had happened. But they were like ticketing bombs, always ready to explode when you didn't expected it. Aria had my same opinion apparently and I was grateful for that. "We better go rescue that poor girl." I added, my eyes still on the girls as I reached for Arias hand and we walked towards Princess Sofia.
She seemed to notice from the corner of her eyes while she was bent to the girls level, "Mom and dad are looking for you-" She said as she straightened her position again, but cut herself off and widened her eyes as soon as they met Aria. "Oh my-" She cut herself off again, this time covering her mouth with a hand and I had the feeling I was about to have a reason to groan. "You're Aria Gates, right?"
I suppressed a groan, started cursing in my head and focused on the girls instead, them looking clueless since they were innocent little things who didn't know what fame was and how annoying that could be. Ar, instead, smiled at the fake princess and nodded her head, being cute as she always was with people. "Yes that's me." She answered politely, pushing her hair behind her hair while I was tempted to grab our nieces and run before the girl could start bothering me too. My guess? She was a fan of my perfect and talented wife. If I was lucky enough, maybe she hated me and had always rooted for that loser of Gavin instead.
"I'm your biggest fan, I saw all your shows and movies, I can't believe you're really here." Princess Sofia said in an overexcited tone, her hands moving fast and making me want to grab them to make her stop. Instead, she produced a phone out of nowhere, "Can I take a picture with you?"
I took the girls hands, wondering what was going on in their head. They had to be confused. "Sebby why Princess Sofia knows aunt Aria? She didn't know me!" Jules asked, basically answering to the question in my head.
I looked down at her and shrugged, making a long story short. "Princess Sofia went to the movies and saw the movie with Aunt Aria acting." I explained as if that could ever make any sense.
Her eyes widened and she still looked confused, "Aunt Aria is in movies?"
"Only the best movies," Princess Sofia smiled at Aria and handed her phone to me, Haylie not dropping my other hand. Aria smiled at the princess who was flattering her, wrapping an arm around her and posing for a picture as I snapped it quickly then handed it back. My bet was that I'd see the same pictures soon, thanks to instagram, twitter or facebook. As long as I wasn't involved, I wouldn't complain. "Thank you so much," The girl said with her giddy tone.
"You're welcome," Ar kept smiling at her, watching her eyes flick at the ring on Ar's hand then at me, wheels working in her little head quickly.
She leaned closer and I couldn't get what she was saying to my wife, so I looked at my nieces who seemed to start getting bored, while I felt Aria's eyes on me instead. I didn't even want to know why.
"I've been pretty blessed," Aria said as she started walking backwards, taking Jules' hand in hers while I loaded Haylie into the stroller. "It was great meeting you. Girls, say bye to Princess Sofia."
"Bye Princess Sofia!" They said in unison, waving their tiny hands.
"Bye! Have a splendid day," She said all princess like and I snorted at the ridiculousness of that.
We started walking away in silence while Ar glanced sideways at me, "Princess Sofia has a crush on you."
"Yuck!!" Jules said before I would respond, shaking her head fast. "You're Uncle Sebby's queen instead!"
"That's right." I retorted flatly, pushing the stroller and looking in front of me, starting to suffer from how hot it was today and wishing I was in Iceland.
"He doesn't seem too thrilled about that." Ar said from beside me and when I turned my head, I found her making a silly face at Jules who was amused to the point she was giggling.
I sighed my temporary bad mood out and smiled again at the girls, getting on board again. Nonsense mood was back in the game. "There was no better princess than Aria, so I had to pick her to be my queen."
"Oh, Sebby." Ar grinned at me, using the name the little girls called me on purpose, just to tease me, as her free hand wrapped around my arm.
Jules nodded, getting all serious again and killing me, "I love all the princesses and queens but Aria is my fave!"
Both Ar and I laughed since by now we had gotten that being Jules' fave didn't really counted much. At the same time though, it did, because while all the other princesses didn't exist, Aria was real and Jules showed her her love and admiration whenever we were together. "She's my fave too." I agreed and winked at my wife.
"And you're my favorite king and a very good one too because you gave Aria a pretty ring!" Jules added as an afterthough and with that I died. The way kids reasonate was hilarious sometimes.
Ar laughed again, glancing at me, "She already got how things work in life." She said to me with an amused face.
"She must be smart like her uncle." I grinned back at Ar, noticing how Haylie was oddly quiet and wondering if that was a good sign or a bad sign. When I bent over the stroller, I saw her looking like an angel, sleeping peacefully.
Aria lifted an eyebrow and watched me before she smiled, "Is she asleep?"
Jules moved her head quickly to look at her sister then grinned up at the two of us, "Haylie's asleep. She can't go on rides now, but I still want to."
"How about Aunt Aria takes you on whatever ride you want and I'll wait with your sister?" I suggested and the little girl pursed her lips together while thinking about it.
She nodded her head after a moment and looked at Ar, "Can we go on the teacups?"
"Of course cutie," Ar told her and forced a smile, but didn't look too happy. Actually she looked as if she could get sick just thinking about it..
I recognized the look on her face and wrapped my arm around her waist and gave it a squeeze, "How about I go on that one and let Ar do the next one?"
Jules shrugged her shoulders, happy alone to be going on her favorite ride. "I wish we could all go on it instead! Silly Haylie."
Ar took the stroller from me and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, "Thank you."
I pulled back with a grin on my face, "You owe me."
"Finally." She said back with a sassy expression on her face as she jumped out of the car, making me raise one eyebrow. I really wasn't used to have kids around, at all, and I probably would never be able to. That was why having babies wasn't on my menu.
"Are you ready little cutie?" Aria asked Haylie with a smile and she nodded, already wearing Mickey ears from the last time her parents brought her here.
"Mickey Minnie!!" She chanted, like she'd been doing for most of the car ride.
"Mm, Mickey Minnie," Ar agreed with her and lifted her out of the seat, holding her against her, looking as if she was considering something. I wasn't good with kids and even if Aria was better than I was, she wasn't that comfortable around kids either. We just didn't know what to do. "Seb will you pop the trunk and get the stroller out?" She asked, grabbing Haylie's sweater off the seat for later.
"Yeah," I replied and lifted the beast of a stroller out of the back, closing the trunk and staring at it. "Do you know how to set it up?"
"It should just unfold..." She trailed off and wrinkled her nose, looking at Haylie who was watching us with a smile.
"I want to meet Elsa from Frozen," Jules told us, still holding onto my hand.
Aria smiled at her and set Haylie on her feet beside us, messing around with the stroller until our little human could fit inside of it safely, "Alright! We're ready to go!" She said with enthusiasm after a few minutes, setting her inside of it and grinning as she kicked her feet happily.
I sighed as I started walking toward the entrance, Jules marching with me triumphantly while I wondered how long it'd be before she'd throw a tantrum. She was a good kid for what I knew, but it was almost bound to happen because that was what kids did. In that moment I'd probably run. I had no patience with big humans, I had no patience with little ones either. After buying the tickets we finally stepped into the park and all of us stopped, the girl's eyes on me while I looked around. I felt as if they were waiting for something from me and I wondered if that was how fathers felt. "What you girls want to do first?" I asked instead, since princesses and magic weren't my things.
"I want to see the castle!" Jules was the first to answer, pointing her tiny fingers in the air and both Aria and I followed it to see what she was talking about. It was the Disney castle you saw everywhere but I really had no idea of what there could be inside.
Aria smirked at her, "Do you know from what fairytale is it from?" She asked at our niece who shook her head and looked at my wife as if she could explain her the meaning of life. "The sleeping beauty!" Ar added and I saw amusement on her face. I didn't get it though, it had to be a girls thing.
The little girl frowned, "I don't know that one." She said seriously before turning to me, "Sebby can you read it to me tonight?"
"Of course cutie." I smiled at my niece, perfectly aware that she'd probably fall asleep by the time we'd take them back home but I knew that she wouldn't forget so one day or another I'd have to keep my promise. I didn't mind that, I did so little for my family, and that little I wanted to do it always.
In that moment Haylie cut into the conversation, "Choo choo!" She exlaimed loud, getting our attention.
"I want to go on the train!" Jules said as soon as we realized that the baby's excitement was dued to the silly train which was approaching the square in front of the castle.
I glanced at Ar, wondering what we could do. The girls had different ages and one of them was in a stroller at the moment so we had at least two problems. "I say that since aunt Aria's already been here she decides. Plus she was a princess before becoming a queen so she knows everything about castles and magic." I smirked at my wife, letting her to be in charge since I wasn't interested in leading two little girls. She was a lot better than me at that.
"I say we all go on the train," Aria smirked at me while I silently wished I could stand around and watch the stroller. Unfortunately for us, every ride had its very own stroller parking lot. "We can leave the stroller off to the side," She added before I had the chance to offer sticking behind to watch our things. It was Disneyland and no one was going to touch a stroller, not when there were a million kids and families around.
"Have you ever been on a train?" Jules asked me as she gave my hand a tug in the direction of the strollers.
"A real one, yes," I replied.
She wrinkled her nose and kept looking at me as if she were studying my face. "Is that one not real?" She asked eventually, still staring at me while Ar parked the strolled between another two and lifted Haylie out, keeping her in her arms. I wondered how lond she'd resist before leaving the little girl to me.
"No," I replied honestly, catching the look Ar was giving me.
"It's a magic train instead!" Ar smiled at me with wide eyes, watching as both of the girls faces lit up with excitement.
Jules looked up at me again and smiled, "I want to sit by you."
I smiled back at her, always a little touched by how much this little girl loved me no matter if she didn't see me that often. "I wouldn't have it any other way," I replied and lifted her up into my arms, climbing on the train and setting her beside me while Ar sat down on the other side, Haylie tucked in next to her. "Make sure you hold on," I added and Jules nuzzled my side, holding onto me instead of the railing in front of us.
Ar let out a soft laugh and smiled at me, "This is my first train ride."
I raised one eyebrow as I looked at her, doubting that it really was. "Your first magical train ride?" I asked and for a moment I ignored my nieces in favor of focusing on my wife. That was another thing about kids, you always had to pay a lot of attention to them and it had to be exhausting.
"Yes." Jules answered instead, wrinkling her nose as the train started moving.
Ar let out a small laugh, and I was smirking myself for how cute the little girl was. "I think that uncle Sebby was talking to me cutie." She said softly but her amused face was still in place.
"Didn't dad take you here?" I asked and my eyes were back on Jules who was sporting an innocent face which didn't fit her that much. For what I knew she wasn't a bad kid, but there was no kid on earth who was completely innocent.
"Dad train." Haylie cut into the conversation, giving us a serious look and moving her hands as if she was trying to explain to us how the world worked.
Ar poked her side and made her giggle, "Is your dad a train?" She asked, both Jules and I chuckling.
"No!" Haylie answered shaking her head and holding onto Aria tighter when the train sped up, her cute face looking a little worried and I wished she didn't start crying. I couldn't stand crying babies, I didn't know what to do with them.
Jules instead, didn't seem to be fazed at all. Pointing to the castle we could see on our right, she looked up at me, "I want to go there next."
I glanced at the castle that didn't have much in common with a real life castle and I wondered what could be inside of that. The museum of fairies? I had no idea. "Whose is that?" I asked.
"Cinderella's castle." She answered solemnly, looking back at us, "She's my favorite."
"I thought I was." Aria said back with a fake frown.
"But uncle Sebby said you're not a princess...you're my favorite queen aunt Aria!" Jules explained and gave her a big smile that showed how much she looked at her aunt as if she was really coming from a fairy tale.
"Thank you Princess Jules," Aria smiled back at her and her mouth fell open for a moment before her huge smile returned.
Her head rocked back to look up at me "Did you hear that Uncle Sebby? Aunt Aria said that I'm a princess!"
"Me too!" Haylie added, still clinging onto Ar.
"We need Minnie ears with tiaras," Jules told her sister while me and Ar exchanged glances. It was going to be a long day and a pricey one too. "And I want to bring mom and dad a present!"
Aria tore my gaze from me and looked back down at the little girl cuddled up to me, "What do you want to get them?"
"A stuffed animal," She said with a big grin. "A huge one that Uncle Sebby will have to carry because it'll be too big for even you to carry!"
I broke into a laugh and shook my head, "What will your mom do with a stuffed animal that big?"
"Daddy won't let us have a dog, so we can pretend the stuffed animal is our pet," She wrinkled her nose but had a mischievous grin on her face.
"Your dad would love that," I told her, still grinning at my niece while Ar watched the two of us.
Jules nodded her head at me, "Can I have a stuffed animal too? I want Ariel."
"I thought Cinderella was your favorite," Ar lifted an eyebrow at her.
She shrugged her shoulders, "I love all of the princesses."
I stopped paying attention to the biggest girls and focused on Haylie, who was the harder one for me to handle. Or understand. How could you guess a kids thought when she barely talked and didn't make too much sense anyway? That was what threw me off balance. It had been different when Jules was a baby, she seemed to be content when I picked her up and that was all for her, while Haylie was like a huge question mark. The train came to a stop and I broke out of my daze, realizing that all the girls were looking at me and waiting for me to do something, or say something, I wasn't sure. "If you'll be good, you'll have your Ariel." I said eventually as I helped them all out the train, one by one, saving a special treatment to my wife who got a quick kiss too.
"I'm always good." Jules retorted, sporting a serious face that killed me a little.
Ar glanced at me, then back at the little girl, "Do you think that if I'll be good, uncle Sebby will get me an ice cream?" She asked her, a small smirk playing on her lips while I adjusted Haylie back on the stroller and had to stop my eyes from automatically roll.
"Me too ice cream Seby!" My youngest niece cut in the conversation, looking as if she was set on that idea now and wouldn't take a no as an answer.
"Thank you." I muttered to Ar as I straighten myself up, wondering when exactly I had started being in charge of the situation again. I didn't want that. "What if I'm good instead? What will I get?"
"You can choose between ice cream and a stuffed animal." Julie answered then started giggling, even covering her mouth as if she couldn't help herself.
I poked her nose and I smiled, "Hilarious cutie." I commented while my mind was already working for the future. I needed to had a plan, pretty much always. "What do you girls want to do now?" I asked but I looked at Ar, letting her know that the decision was hers.
Aria lifted her eyebrow since my eyes were on her but she seemed as clueless as I was. Except for I could stand there thinking for hours and not get a decent idea, while she would get a very good one instead. "Let's get ears!" She said with a big smile, moving her gaze back and forth between the girls to get them on board with the plan while I thanked god that we didn't have to stand in one of the many long lines for the rides. "And we'll grab a few fastpass tickets on the way so we won't have to stand in a million lines forever."
"Good idea," I replied, not having done research but guessing that getting fastpass tickets would come in handy.
"Can we go on all of the rides?" Jules asked while we walked past a few little kid rides, as I was grabbing the correct tickets for them so we could come back later.
Ar smiled at her as she slipped her hand into her aunt's, "As long as all of us can go on them."
She nodded knowingly, "Haylie might be too small for some of the rides... me too. Even if I'm a big girl," She added with a shrug.
"Well those ones are too scary anyways," Ar told her with a small frown. "Even I'm afraid of them."
Her eyes widened before she turned her face to me, while I was pushing Haylie in the stroller, "Are you afraid too??"
I shook my head, offering a smirk to the little girl. "I'm afraid of nothing." I answered and it wasn't, of course, true. I had fears, but mostly involved my job, Aria, and my family.
Jules looked at me with wide eyes then looked back at Ar, "Is it true aunt Aria?" She asked, as if she didn't believe me.
Ar shot me a smirk before answering to Jules, widening her eyes herself. "Yes. Once he even swam with sharks!"
"They could eat you!" Jules said back and ran to me to wrap her arms around my leg, stopping me from walking further as she looked up at me with her big gorgeous eyes, "I don't want Uncle Sebby to die!"
I grinned, running my fingers through her hair gently, because she was being too cute even if she didn't make too much sense. "I'm alive little girl."
"Nothing or no one can stop your Uncle." Ar smirked at our niece then smirked wider when Jules tried to climb on my leg and I had to pick her up, leaving the stroller to Ar again while Haylie looked at us completely unfazed.
"Only aunt Aria can." I said in a teasing tone as I glanced at my wife, her sticking her tongue out at me. I enjoyed the nice moment, wondering how long it would last. Probably until we'd get the stupid ears.
Jules laughed and nuzzled me while looking at Ar for confirmation. "I'm the queen of everything," Ar said with a shrug before winkling at her and grinning.
"Aunt Aria the queen of everything!!" She dubbed her and Ar laughed.
"It has a ring to it," Aria nodded her head and looked down at Haylie. "What do you think cutie?"
"Princess Haylie!" She joined the conversation and clapped enthusiastically. Aria smiled at her and looked at me, I still had Jules in my arms, a smile on my face while the little girl told me a story about her first week of school. Things looked and seemed so much easier from the outside, maybe I had underrated myself when I had said I couldn't handle kids...I could. For one hour or two. "Ears!! Minnie!!" Haylie cut into the conversation and Ar lead the way in the direction of where the tiny finger was pointing.
"Which ones do you like?" Ar asked Haylie after bending down to her level, grabbing the pink sparkly ones she was staring at.
She made a grabby gesture back and smiled when Ar put them on her head, "These please!!"
I put Jules back on her feet and watched her try on a few pairs. "Where are yours?" I grinned at Ar.
"Where are yours instead?" She smirked, looking amused at the thought only.
I took advantage of the moment to wrap my arm around Aria's shoulders and pull her against my side for a quick kiss since both of the little girls were too busy with their ears to pay us any attention. How did parents even have more kids? The time for sex didn't have to be much. "Nowhere. I'm no mickey mouse." I said against her lips and grinned, staring down into her gorgeous eyes that would always be my greatest weakness. That and her a.ss.
"I'm no Minnie mouse either." She said back as her smirk matched mine, her hand set on my chest gently. "But since I'm silly I might get a pair of ears anyway."
"That's because you're cute." I kept grinning, then we both pulled away from each other when Jules started tugging at our clothes.
She raised a crown towards Aria, it being sparkly and borderline ridiculous with all that glitter and a bunch of feathers too, but still cute. "This is for you!"
Ar looked down at our niece and smiled big as she took the tiara from her hand and I swear, I thought she'd tear up any moment. "No ears for me?" She asked softly and wore the crown.
Jules shook her head and Haylie clapped her hands again, "Queen Aria!" She said in her tiny voice while I looked at the three girls being adorable with a smile on my own lips.
"Let's take a picture." I announced as I freed Haylie from her stroller once again, setting her on her feet while Aria bent on her knees to level the little girls who were already hugging her, one for each side. "Perfect." I grinned, snapping the picture before slipping my phone into my jeans pocket.
"I want to see it!" Jules protested as the hug was broken.
"Later." I said quietly, then my eyes moved to Haylie who was walking a little weird, then stopped on a stop and started marching there, her hands between her legs and I blinked. More like, I was petrified. "What's wrong?" I asked slowly, more to Aria than to the little girl.
Haylie frowned, "I have to pee." She answered and now that I thought about it she did look as if she was pissing her pants, but I still didn't know what to do, how to react to that, so I just looked at Aria again.
Aria checked her pants to make sure they weren't wet and then swooped her up into her arms, glancing at me while I looked at them in horror. "Let's get you to the nearest bathroom," She smiled at Haylie since she looked on the verge of tears and Ar didn't look too far from that too. "Seb, I-"
"Over there," I pointed towards a line of women, the line looking like it was leading to a ride instead of a bathroom. Her lips fell open and prayed that Haylie could make it to the bathroom. "I'll pay for everything and then wait with Jules for you guys," I added, reaching for the crown on her head and the ears that Haylie had on.
"Thank you," Ar said with a quick smile before walking as fast as possible to the bathroom.
I let out a sigh before glancing down at Jules, who was looking bored. "Let's go paying." I told her, offering a smile as I grabbed her hand before leading her towards the register.
She tugged at my arm a second later and I eyed the doll in her free hand. "Can I have her uncle Sebby? She's the last one I need for my collection." She asked in an overly sweet tone, her lips pouting just so slightly and I felt bad for her father. She was going to be hard to handle in her teens.
I processed her request, wondering what would my sister do, then I decided to compromise. "You have to choose between her and Ariel. I think they wouldn't get along together." I said seriously.
The little girl giggled, the sound so cute that I found myself smiling. "Okay uncle Sebby." She said, looking content and lifting the doll towards me, "This one! Thank you Sebby!"
I grab it then paid for all the nonsense we got, thinking that it was crazy how much that stuff costed but the girls seemed happy and that was all that mattered. "Do you think Aria and Haylie are back?" I asked my niece as we walked back to the stroller and towards the bathroom exit.
She just shrugged, too busy with her new doll. In that momebt the two other girls came out of the door. "She barely made it," Ar told me in a hushed voice, taking the silly crown from me as I held it out for her with a smirk.
"Thank god she did," I replied with a small sigh.
"Ears!!" Haylie clapped her hands like that entire episode hadn't just happened and Jules was still lost in her doll.
I shrugged when Ar raised an eyebrow at it, "She asked for the doll. Said she needed it for her collection."
She smiled, "No wonder you're her favorite."
"We made a deal." I explained as I glanced at Jules, who was adjusting the ears on her sisters head.
When she noticed our eyes on her she turned her head and gave Ar a serious face. "Uncle Sebby told me I could have Ariel or the doll so I chose the doll." She said nonchalantly, killing me a little for how she talked as if she was a grown up girl. "But I think that Haylie still wants Ariel."
My face dropped while Aria laughed and Haylie started singing the Ariel song, dancing and jumping around us like a crazy kid. Good god. "Don't try tricking your uncle, I did before and it never worked." Ar whispered loudly to our older niece, as if she was telling her a secret.
Jules put a hand next to her mouth, "Tell him it's for you aunt Aria." She said, thinking that I couldn't hear her.
I smirked and shook my head, then let out a sigh, wondering how exactly how I was going to survive the whole day. "Okay, enough nonsense girls." I said as I grabbed Haylie and she started kicking her legs, making it clear that she had no intention to stay in her stroller again. "Alright, no stroller for you."
"I want to stay into the stroller!" Jules said out of nowhere, already on her way when Aria stopped her by taking her hand.
"Us big girls walk instead." My wife said softly as she smiled at the little girl, surprising me for how good she was being at convincing the girls to do what she wanted. Or I wanted.
Haylie looked up at me, raising her arm and moving her fingers in my direction, "Hand Seby." She said simply.
I gave her my hand, while I used my free hand to push the stroller, even though I wasn't sure of where we were going. Was it lunch time for the girls? I had no idea, Aria and I usually ate when we were hungry but I guessed that little girls needed a more rigid schedule. "What should we do now?" I asked them, even though the question was more for Ar than our nieces.
"Is anyone hungry?" Aria asked the girls who both shook their heads.
"Princess Sofia!!" Jules said from beside Ar and pointed to a young girl who was dressed up like a princess. She had to be sweating a lot under that constume and for a moment I felt bad for her, having to working under the sun surrounded by crazy screaming kids while pretending to be someone who didn't even exist. "Can we meet her? She's my favorite."
My eyebrow raised up since we'd heard that line from her more than a few times today alone, "I thought Cinderella was your favorite."
"I said they all are," Jules gave me a silly grin. "Will you take a picture of me with Princess Sofia? Please Uncle Sebby!!"
"I will," I said simply while we headed in the direction of the tiny princess.
"Princess Sofia used to be a normal girl like me, but then her dad married a king," She told us while we walked, her eyes brighter than they had been all day and she'd been pretty excited a few time already.
Ar grinned at her, "You're far from normal."
Jules flashed Ar a smile then looked at her sister, "Don't you want to meet her too, Haylie?"
"Princess!!" Haylie echoed.
We stopped and watched as the girls took each others hands and spoke to the Disney princess while Ar took a picture. "They're so fucking cute," She said quietly while beside me, not taking her eyes off the little girls.
I turned my head to look at my wife, giving her all my attention for a moment since with the girls it was as if two eyes weren't enough, two weren't either, and we had to stare at them constantly. "They are." I agreed before glancing at our nieces again, Haylie tugging at the poor girl's dress while Jules was talking to her like a machine. "But they're a handful too." I added.
I felt Arias body lean against my side as she laughed, "Seb, they're being angels so far." She said in an amused tone.
"That's why I could never have kids." I said more seriously, because she was right. Except the bathroom incident and the general awkwardness nothing special had happened. But they were like ticketing bombs, always ready to explode when you didn't expected it. Aria had my same opinion apparently and I was grateful for that. "We better go rescue that poor girl." I added, my eyes still on the girls as I reached for Arias hand and we walked towards Princess Sofia.
She seemed to notice from the corner of her eyes while she was bent to the girls level, "Mom and dad are looking for you-" She said as she straightened her position again, but cut herself off and widened her eyes as soon as they met Aria. "Oh my-" She cut herself off again, this time covering her mouth with a hand and I had the feeling I was about to have a reason to groan. "You're Aria Gates, right?"
I suppressed a groan, started cursing in my head and focused on the girls instead, them looking clueless since they were innocent little things who didn't know what fame was and how annoying that could be. Ar, instead, smiled at the fake princess and nodded her head, being cute as she always was with people. "Yes that's me." She answered politely, pushing her hair behind her hair while I was tempted to grab our nieces and run before the girl could start bothering me too. My guess? She was a fan of my perfect and talented wife. If I was lucky enough, maybe she hated me and had always rooted for that loser of Gavin instead.
"I'm your biggest fan, I saw all your shows and movies, I can't believe you're really here." Princess Sofia said in an overexcited tone, her hands moving fast and making me want to grab them to make her stop. Instead, she produced a phone out of nowhere, "Can I take a picture with you?"
I took the girls hands, wondering what was going on in their head. They had to be confused. "Sebby why Princess Sofia knows aunt Aria? She didn't know me!" Jules asked, basically answering to the question in my head.
I looked down at her and shrugged, making a long story short. "Princess Sofia went to the movies and saw the movie with Aunt Aria acting." I explained as if that could ever make any sense.
Her eyes widened and she still looked confused, "Aunt Aria is in movies?"
"Only the best movies," Princess Sofia smiled at Aria and handed her phone to me, Haylie not dropping my other hand. Aria smiled at the princess who was flattering her, wrapping an arm around her and posing for a picture as I snapped it quickly then handed it back. My bet was that I'd see the same pictures soon, thanks to instagram, twitter or facebook. As long as I wasn't involved, I wouldn't complain. "Thank you so much," The girl said with her giddy tone.
"You're welcome," Ar kept smiling at her, watching her eyes flick at the ring on Ar's hand then at me, wheels working in her little head quickly.
She leaned closer and I couldn't get what she was saying to my wife, so I looked at my nieces who seemed to start getting bored, while I felt Aria's eyes on me instead. I didn't even want to know why.
"I've been pretty blessed," Aria said as she started walking backwards, taking Jules' hand in hers while I loaded Haylie into the stroller. "It was great meeting you. Girls, say bye to Princess Sofia."
"Bye Princess Sofia!" They said in unison, waving their tiny hands.
"Bye! Have a splendid day," She said all princess like and I snorted at the ridiculousness of that.
We started walking away in silence while Ar glanced sideways at me, "Princess Sofia has a crush on you."
"Yuck!!" Jules said before I would respond, shaking her head fast. "You're Uncle Sebby's queen instead!"
"That's right." I retorted flatly, pushing the stroller and looking in front of me, starting to suffer from how hot it was today and wishing I was in Iceland.
"He doesn't seem too thrilled about that." Ar said from beside me and when I turned my head, I found her making a silly face at Jules who was amused to the point she was giggling.
I sighed my temporary bad mood out and smiled again at the girls, getting on board again. Nonsense mood was back in the game. "There was no better princess than Aria, so I had to pick her to be my queen."
"Oh, Sebby." Ar grinned at me, using the name the little girls called me on purpose, just to tease me, as her free hand wrapped around my arm.
Jules nodded, getting all serious again and killing me, "I love all the princesses and queens but Aria is my fave!"
Both Ar and I laughed since by now we had gotten that being Jules' fave didn't really counted much. At the same time though, it did, because while all the other princesses didn't exist, Aria was real and Jules showed her her love and admiration whenever we were together. "She's my fave too." I agreed and winked at my wife.
"And you're my favorite king and a very good one too because you gave Aria a pretty ring!" Jules added as an afterthough and with that I died. The way kids reasonate was hilarious sometimes.
Ar laughed again, glancing at me, "She already got how things work in life." She said to me with an amused face.
"She must be smart like her uncle." I grinned back at Ar, noticing how Haylie was oddly quiet and wondering if that was a good sign or a bad sign. When I bent over the stroller, I saw her looking like an angel, sleeping peacefully.
Aria lifted an eyebrow and watched me before she smiled, "Is she asleep?"
Jules moved her head quickly to look at her sister then grinned up at the two of us, "Haylie's asleep. She can't go on rides now, but I still want to."
"How about Aunt Aria takes you on whatever ride you want and I'll wait with your sister?" I suggested and the little girl pursed her lips together while thinking about it.
She nodded her head after a moment and looked at Ar, "Can we go on the teacups?"
"Of course cutie," Ar told her and forced a smile, but didn't look too happy. Actually she looked as if she could get sick just thinking about it..
I recognized the look on her face and wrapped my arm around her waist and gave it a squeeze, "How about I go on that one and let Ar do the next one?"
Jules shrugged her shoulders, happy alone to be going on her favorite ride. "I wish we could all go on it instead! Silly Haylie."
Ar took the stroller from me and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, "Thank you."
I pulled back with a grin on my face, "You owe me."
