Chapter Text

Dear Diary,

It's been two weeks and three days since we lost Angel and since we left Sunnydale for LA. We found jobs and moved into the apartments that the Mikaelson had in LA. Persephone Brianna is five months old already and can't believe how big she's gotten already. We still haven't found a way to bring Angel back to us, but I know he'll be back. We just don't know when. Well, anyway. We're heading for Orlando in a couple of minutes as we are waiting for the others to get here. Cole's feeding Persephone Brianna as Elijah checks doubles checks everything. I know this is our first family vacation with a baby. I can only hope everything goes well. But life is unpredictable, and the world goes on. Elijah says everyone is here. It's time to head for the cars. Bye for now. Aurora*.

I closed my journal and placed it into my carry-on. I checked my bag and made sure that my laptop was there for the trip and everything else that I needed was there as well.

"Okay, before we leave, I need to hand out something to everyone," Kate voiced.

"What is it?" Andy questioned as Kate handed him a bag.

"These bags have the similar charm that Hermione Granger's bag had in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," Kate said as she handed each of us a bag as well.

"For those who haven't heard or seen it, what does that mean?" Klaus asked.

"It has an extension charm and weightless charm. Everything that gets put in it will be fit in it as well as cooling charm and despoiling for any food that gets put in it," Kate answered. "It also has a notice-me-not charm similar to the one in Harry Potter. Your names are on it as well as the ones who will be buying for."

I looked at the bags that Kate handed me; I saw my name, Persephone Brianna's and Willow's name on them. I noticed Kyra had her's & Cordelia's bags. Jeremy had Xander & his bag as Leo had his name and Oz's bags. I couldn't look over at Elijah and Cole cause they had two extension bags, each in their hands. 

"It's a good thing our luggage have the same extension and weightless charm as well," I voiced as Cole grabbed the car seat with Persphone Brianna in it. "We should get going." 

I slipped boh extension bags into my carry-on before grabbing my luggage, Persephone Brianna's luggage, and my tote carry-on bag. I headed out the door with Cole right behind me with his carry-on bag and Persephone's diaper bag over his shoulder, and luggage bag in one hand. He also had the car seat in the other hand as he followed me out the door. When we got to the cars, I loaded my luggage, Persephone Brianna's luggage, and Cole's luggage as he got Persephone Brianna situated in the car. 

"I can't believe this is the first true family vacation without Angel," I muttered. "Angel was supposed to be here."

"He is here in our hearts, and we'll find a way for him to be returned to us," Buffy said as she put her luggage into the trunk.

"Come on, girls. It's time to go," Elijah said as he placed his luggage into the trunk and closed it.

I opened the door, and Buffy got in with her bag and went to the third row of seats. I got in and sat next to Persephone Brianna with my bag before closing the door. I noticed her diaper bag was on the floor in front of her car seat. The boys got into the car, and we were off to the private airport that held the Mikaelson's Jet.

When we got to the airport, I grabbed Persephone Brianna's car seat and her diaper bag as Cole grabbed the locking bottom. We checked in with the private airport before we fully unpacked the cars with the luggage. Cole and I walked on and got the locking bottom situated before putting the car seat with Persephone Brianna on it.

"Okay, momma will be right back. She's going to help you daddies with the luggage. Auntie Jenna will be here with you," I told her before kissing her forehead.

"Go help the others. We'll be fine," Jenna said as she pulled out a board book from the diaper bag.

I walked off the jet and grabbed my luggage and Persephone Brianna's luggage as Cole grabbed his luggage and Buffy grabbed her luggage. 

"Here, let me take that, darling," Elijah said as he came up behind us and grabbed his luggage before taking Persephone Brianna's travel luggage from the left hand. 

"Thank you," I replied with the same sad look in my eyes.

My mind goes back to Angel and him not being here with us.

"None of that, Aurora. Angel would be here if he could," Cole said as he saw the look.

"I just miss him," I responded as we walked up and into the jet with the luggage.

We walked to the backroom in the jet and set the luggage down before heading to our seats. Cole and I sat down at the table seats with Jenna and Persephone Brianna across from us. 

"I'll go make a bottle for the lift-off," Elijah said before he sat down. 

I gave him the bottle and formula for him to the bottle. 

"We'll be taking off in a moment," the pilot said as he came out.

"Okay, Daniel. Thank you for telling us," Finn responded.

The Mikaelson boys, Andy, Leo, Jeremy, Kate, Kyra, and Rebekah took their luggage to the backroom before they came back and took their seats. Elijah came back with the made bottle and formula container. He handed the bottle over to Jenna and handed me back the formula. I put the formula container back into the diaper bag. Jenna got Persephone Brianna out of her car seat and pulled her into her arms. The plane started to take off as Jenna started feeding Persephone Brianna. It wasn't before long we were in the air. I pulled my laptop out of my carry-on bag and booted it up. I opened my email and saw a letter from my professor. I scanned the email and saw it was about the book that I sent her for my final project for the year. She said the book was well-done and that she wanted me to send it to a friend of hers who had read it. The publisher wanted me to publish my book for others to read it. 

"Aurora, what is it?" Kyra asked.

"You remember the book that I sent to my college professor for my final project of the semester?" I voiced.

"Yeah," Kyra returned.

"She showed it to her publisher friend, and she wants to publish my first book," I told her.

"What?"  Kyra reacted.

"I'm going to be an author," I said.

"So you're going to send it," Kate replied.

"Yeah, but when we get back to LA," I responded as I closed the email and went to one of the streaming services that I have. 

I opened the streaming service and put on a movie that we were watching last night as Elijah did some work. We were watching the live-action version of Beauty and the beast. I handed Cole an earbud as I put the other in my ear. We were at the part where Belle ran from the castle. 

Four hours and thirty-two minutes later, we were in Orlando, Florida. The SUVs that the Mikaelson own in Orlando were outside the landed jet. Jenna grabbed the car seat as Cole grabbed the locking bottom. I grabbed my carry-on and Persephone Brianna's diaper bag before heading to the backroom to get our luggage. I grabbed Persephone Brianna's luggage and mine before heading out of the jet. I got to the car that Cole was standing next to with the trunk open. 

"Elijah got a new stroller for the parks," Cole said as he pointed into the trunk.

"So that's why we didn't bring the other stroller," I voiced as I put in the luggage that I had brought with me.

"I'll go get the rest with others. Go sit down and relax," Cole said as Buffy put her luggage into the trunk.

I walked over to the other side backdoor of the SUV before opening it. Buffy got in with her bag before I joined her and sat next to Persephone Brianna, who was asleep in her car seat. I set the diaper bag in front of her car seat before setting my carry-on in the aisle. I looked behind Buffy into the open trunk to see Cole and Elijah shutting the SUV trunk before getting into the car. 

"Okay, where's the first hotel?" Cole asked Elijah.

"Cabana Bay Beach Resort," Elijah said as he started the car and led the other cars to our next stop.

Twenty minutes later, we were at the first resort of our trip. Elijah paid for the week of parking the cars before we unpacked the car. I put the diaper bag and my carry-on bag into the compartment under the stroller. I got Persephone Brianna out of her car seat and laid her down into the stroller, and did the straps up. 

"Elijah, did you request a playpen for our room?" I asked him.

"Yes, I did," Elijah said as we grabbed out the suitcases.

I handed Buffy her luggage before grabbing mine as Cole and Elijah grabbed their travel luggage and Persephone Brianna's. We headed into the hotel. 

When we got into the hotel, we couldn't believe how retro it was. 

"Girls, why don't you explore the hall as we go check-in and get the room keys?" Klaus suggested as the boys headed to the check-in desk.

"Okay?" Kyra said as we walked over to the universal studio store that we saw.

"Girls, we can shop there our last day here," Jenna voiced.

"Good point," Buffy said. "But can we go in and look around?"

"Fine," Jenna replied as we walked into the store.

I walked over to a table that had some universal merch on it. I saw a mug that would be perfect for Giles.

"We should have known that you girls would be over here," We heard Elijah say as we looked towards him.

"We got the keys," Kol said as we walked out of the store without buying anything for now.

We walked back into the lobby with the stroller. We stopped just before the evaluator. 

"Okay, room assignments are Aurora, Cole, Persephone Brianna, myself and Buffy in 2 bedroom Volcano Bay Family Suite," Elijah told us. 

"Next room assignment, Kyra, Kate, Leo, Andy, Finn, and myself in Poolside Family Suite," Klaus continued.

"Last room assignment, Jenna, Kol, Jeremy, and Rebekah in Standard Volcano Bay View Room," Andy finished.

We got into the evaluator each group leader pushed a button to the level their rooms were on. Elijah and our group got out first before heading to our family suite.

When we walked into our room, we saw a closet on the right-hand side before walking to the living room. We set our luggage down on the floor before taking Persephone Brianna out of her stroller. Cole took her from me and showed her view as we looked around the room. We noticed that we had one small sink, a microwave and a mini-fridge near the living room. I opened the first door nearest to the door and found a sink and toilet before opening the next door near it and finding a tub. I headed across the hall and opened the door.

"I found the room for us," I said as Elijah put my luggage and Persephone Brianna's on the bed. 

I noticed the playpen in the room as Cole walked into the room with the baby.

"This is where we'll be sleeping, my love," Cole said to Persephone Brianna.

I walked out of the room and towards the next room and found Buffy putting her luggage down.

"The view is amazing. Are we going to Volcano Bay while we're here?" Buffy said.

"I believe we are," I replied. 

"Does this suite have another bathroom?" Buffy asked.

"I think it's next door," I answered as I walked out of the room and opened the last door that wasn't open.

I found another bathroom with a sink, a toilet, and a shower-bathtub combo. 

"Looks like we have a way to get ready in the morning and for dinner," Buffy said as she looked in.

"Did the boys ever tell us what we're doing for dinner tonight?" I asked her.

"No, they didn't. I already had my outfit planned for it, though," Buffy answered. "Hopefully, it's okay."

"We should change now since we aren't going to enjoy the pool today," I responded.

"I'll change in the bathroom," Buffy said.

"Okay," I replied as we walked out of the bathroom and separated to grab our clothes for dinner and explore the hotel. 

I opened my luggage and grabbed the bag that was marked Dinner/explore Hotel outfit. I opened the bag before laying out the dress, put sandals down, and laid the jewelry on the side table. I grabbed my brush and lip gloss out of toiletries. I stripped out of my clothes and took off my heels before I let my hair down and out of my upbraid. I got into the prink dress, slipped on the sandals before putting the earrings on, rose ring on the other hand opposite of my Claddagh ring and put on the bug necklace over top of my Trinity necklace. I grabbed my brush and lip gloss before walking out of the room and into the washroom. I brushed the curls away before adding a bit of lip gloss. I walked out of the room to see Cole changing Persephone's diaper.  

"I see you're already to explore and have dinner," Cole said.

"Where are we having dinner?" I asked him again.

"You'll see," Elijah said as he came out in a semi-casual outfit. "Where's Buffy?"

"Still getting ready," I replied as I got Persephone's bottle ready for dinner tonight.

Cole put the dirty diaper in a bag before closing it up.

"Could one of you put a clean diaper on her?" Cole asked us.

"I will," Elijah said as he walked over to him before Cole headed to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Elijah placed a clean diaper on before doing the tabs up, rebuttoning her onesie and putting on her pants. 

"Are we ready to go?" Buffy asked as she came into the living room.

Buffy was wearing a grey jacket, a dark top with a flower skirt, Heeled boots and a small crossbody bag. Her hair was down with little pulled back. She was wearing a heart stone necklace. 

"Let's go," Cole said as he came out of the bedroom wearing a semi-casual outfit.

I put baby bottles into the diaper bag before it back into the compartment under the stroller before grabbing my purse that held my wallet and cell phone. Elijah put Persephone into the stroller and did the straps before grabbing her baby sunglasses. I grabbed my sunglasses before putting them in my bag. We walked out before closing the door and headed for the evaluators. 

After the evaluators, we found the others in the lobby waiting for us. Kate was wearing a white sleeveless top with a blue flower skirt, blue heels, a small purse, and a light gold trinity necklace. Kate's hair was up in a ponytail with her sunglasses on top of her head. Kyra was wearing a blue dress with designs all over it, hanging earrings, sandals, a blue bag, and a silver sister necklace that she got for her birthday. Kyra's hair was up in a ponytail. Jenna was wearing a red dress with a brown jacket on top, black heeled boots, a hummingbird bracelet, and her hair was down.

"Ready, explore?" Jenna asked.

"Yes," Buffy responded.

"But first, could we take a picture with the minions?" I questioned as I spotted the minions in the hall surrounded by families.

"Of course," Finn answered as we walked over to where the minions were.

"Good afternoon," A cast member said.

"Good afternoon. Can we take a picture with the minions?" I asked.

"Of course," the cast member responded.

Kyra got Kate's camera out of her bag and booted it up before handing it over to the cast member for her to take the picture. Elijah got Persephone out of the stroller and pulled her into his arms before situating her for the photo. We stood with the minions.

"Okay, ready," the cast member said as we nodded. "Okay, on the count of three. Say, Minions. One... two... three..."

"Minions," We said as Kate's camera went off and took the photo. 

"Thank you for taking the picture," Kate told her as she thanked the cast member.

"Your welcome. Have good rest of the day," The cast member said as Elijah put Persephone back into her stroller and did the straps.

We headed towards the outside before stopping to put on our sunglasses. Cole bent down to Persephone and put her hat on her head before putting her baby sunglasses on her face. We headed outside.

When we got outside, it was bright and beautiful. We saw the pool as we walked around the middle of the resort. We found a hot tub and saw where volcano Bay was before walking back inside and following the map towards the other outside area. But as we headed towards the second outside area, we passed an arcade that I knew Jeremy and Kol would love to play in. We passed a bowling alley with a restaurant that we would all enjoy, but Persephone is too young to play. We walked out of the resort and into the second pool area. 

"This area has cabanas. This is perfect for one of our days here," Rebekah said.

"Yes, very," Buffy responded.

We continued to look around this area for a little bit more before Klaus piped up said.

"Girls, it's time to go have some fun and dinner," Klaus told us.

"Where are we going?" Kyra asked.

No one answered us, but we followed Elijah and Cole, who had the stroller. We headed back into the resort.

Elijah and Cole led us into the bowling alley and restaurant. We walked over to the check-in desk.

"Can I help you?" the worker asked.

"Three lanes under the name Mikaelson," Elijah responded.

"Of course, Mr. Mikaelson. Will you be ordering food as well?" the worker questioned.

"Yes, we will. Can we get our shoes now?" Elijah replied.

"Sizes?" The worker asked.

"Three Women's size 8 and Three Women Size 7," Elijah said before giving the men sizes that he needed.

"Lanes 1, 2, & 3," The worker replied as he handed over the shoes. 

I grabbed my size shoes as the girls grabbed theirs, and the boys took their rental shoes. We headed to the lanes with Persephone.

We sat down at the lanes and were handed ankle socks by the boys. We put on the ankle socks before putting on rental shoes. 

"I can't believe you planned this," Rebekah said.

"We thought we should have fun on our first night here," Klaus replied.

"We should eat first before playing," Jenna said.

"I agree," I said as I pulled out a bottle of premade formula from the diaper bag.

I heated it slowly without smoke appearing as I warmed it up. A couple of minutes later, it was done as I checked it, and it was just right. 

"I'll feed her," Cole said as I undid the straps and got Persephone out of the stroller.

I gave over the bottle to him. He took it before taking Persephone from my arms. A worker with a notepad came over to us.

"What can I get for you today?" the worker asked.

"Aurora, why don't you go first?" Elijah responded.

"I'll have BBQ Bacon Cheddar Burger without lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles with a side of fries and a sprite. Please," I ordered.

"I'll have Galaxy burger with a side of fries and coca-cola," Cole ordered.

The rest of our group ordered what they wanted for dinner. The waiter headed for the kitchen with our order.

"Why don't we do a round of bowling while we wait for our food?" Jenna questioned.

"That sounds good," Finn responded.  

"Teams are the same as room assignments," Andy told us.

"Aurora, your first," Elijah responded.

I grabbed a bowling ball and rolled it towards pins. It knocked 6 down as I waited for the ball to return, so I could play again. The ball came back, and I played again, which knocked the rest of the pins down. 

"Cole, your turn," I said as I took Persephone from him and rocked her in my arms.

Cole played his turn and got a strike.

"Buffy, your turn," Cole said as he high-fived Buffy and came over to me.

I put Persephone back into her stroller and strapped her in before laying the blanket down on her that Cole had handed me.  Buffy played her turn before joining us as our drinks arrived.

"Sprite," The waiter said as he handed me my drink. "The Coca-Cola's," He passed Cole and Buffy their drinks. "Iced Tea's," He gave Kate, Elijah, and Kyra their drinks before handing the acholic drinks to of-age people. "Your food is almost ready. It will be here in a moment."

"Thank you," Leo said as the waiter left.

I took a sip of my drink as we watched Team 2 finish up their round of bowling. 

"What's the plan tomorrow?" Jenna asked.

"We're waking up at 6:30 and down in the lobby by 7 am for breakfast. Then it down to Diagon Alley for our express at Escape from Gringotts at 9 am, then exploring around Diagon Alley before lunch at Leaky Cauldron," Cole answered. 

"Then shopping while Persephone's naps in the stroller, then after snack, doing the interactive elements in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley before heading to dinner," Elijah continued.

"Then back to the resort for free time until Bed," Cole finished as our food came.

We were given our food and began eating as we talked about what will be happening tomorrow. We also talked about how we're doing in our games. After we finished eating, we went back to bowling. We counted up our scores to see which team won. In First was Team 2. In Second was our team, and in third was Team 3. We ordered our Coca-Cola cake dessert to go. After we got our desserts, we took our rental shoes off, and some of us took off our socks. We put our shoes/sandals back on before returning the shoes as the boys paid for dinner and bowling. We headed out of the bowling alley/restaurant before heading to the evaluators with Persephone still asleep in her stroller. 

"That was fun," Kate said.

"Yeah, it was," I replied.

"It's time to get this little one dressed, fed and back to bed," Cole said.

"You guys can go have fun if you want," I responded. "You don't have to go back to your rooms yet." 

"I was just going to watch some tv," Buffy said.

"We'll go have some fun then. Good night. See you in the morning," Kyra said as the evaluator opened.

We got in and left the rest of our group downstairs as the doors closed. We headed up to our room.

When we got to our room, Buffy headed for her room as I rolled Persephone into the bedroom. I pulled the blanket off of her before setting it on the playpen. I undid the straps before getting her out of the stroller. I walked her into the bathroom with Cole behind me, holding the baby bathtub. I laid her down on the floor as Cole got the bath ready. I took off her pants before doing her onesie.

"Oh..." I reacted as Cole looked at me. "It looks like little miss, you did a poopy. That's okay." I took off her diaper and cleaned up her bottom as she cried. "Shh, you're okay. My love, now it's time for your bath." I put the dirty diaper in a bag and tied it up before throwing it in the trash. 

Cole took her as I got up and washed my hands.

"I'll bath her and dress her for bed," Elijah said. 

He walked into the room with Persephone sleeper and her toiletries (baby lotion, shampoo & Conditioner and Baby wash).

"Okay, I'll fix up the bottle for bedtime," I replied as I walked out of the room.

I fixed up Persephone's bottle for bedtime and made up her bottles for when she woke up in the middle of the night. Elijah and Cole both said they would wake up to feed and change her when she woke up in the middle of the night. Twenty minutes later, Persephone was walked into the room in the arms of Elijah. I gave Elijah her bedtime bottle before he began to feed her. I looked for my PJs and grabbed my toiletries. Elijah burped her before giving her soother back. She was sucking on her soother as she laid down in the playpen. I laid her blanket down before grabbing the video baby monitor and setting it up with her noise machine. I grabbed my PJs and toiletries before Elijah and Cole grabbed theirs. 

"I'm going to shower and get ready for bed," I told them before kissing them on the cheek.

I walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower and undressed before stepping into the shower. I washed my body before doing my hair. I got out of the shower, brushed and blow-dried my hair. I put on lotion before getting into my PJs. I walked out of the bathroom to see Elijah and Cole watching the first Harry Potter movie in their PJs.

"Why are you watching Harry Potter?" I asked as I sat down next to them.

"Elijah hasn't seen it before, and I thought we could watch it before we went to bed," Cole answered. "Why don't you ask Buffy if she wants to come and watch the movie as we eat our dessert?"

"Okay," I responded as I headed to Buffy's room.

I knocked on the door.

"Come in," I heard Buffy say.

"Hey, we wanted to know if you wanted to come and watch a movie as we eat our dessert?" I said as I walked into the room to see Buffy in her PJs.

Buffy nodded before getting up and grabbing her dessert from the table. She followed me to the living room as Elijah and Cole had our desserts out and ready to eat. We sat down on the couch as Cole started the movie. We began eating our Coca-Cola chocolate cake as we watched the first movie. 

Two hours and a half later, the movie was over, and it was time for bed. 

"Guess we should head to bed now," I said as I saw it was 9 pm.

"Yeah, if we want to be up by 6:30," Buffy said as we got up and brushed our teeth before heading to bed.

Elijah and Cole joined me in the bedroom. I quietly got into bed and slid into the middle as Cole checked on Persephone as she slept in the playpen nearest to our bed. Cole and Elijah slipped into the bed on either side of me before we fell asleep.

Time Skip

It was already morning. I've been up since 5 am getting my nails done by Buffy. I had them designed towards the Hogwarts house that I'm a part of. Buffy's nails are already done as I had finished them dried them with firepower. 

"All done," Buffy said as she finished my nails.

I raised one hand over the other dried the first hand with one of my powers and repeated the process. I looked at my nails before getting up. 

"We should get dressed now," I said as I looked at the time.

"Yeah, it's 6 am," Buffy replied as I got up.

"See you in a bit," I voiced before heading out of her room.

I walked back into my room to see Cole changing Persephone's diaper.

"Morning, when did you get up?" Elijah asked as he came into the room wearing a casual outfit.

"5 am," I answered as I grabbed today's outfit bag out of my luggage before opening Persephone's luggage and grabbing what she's wearing today and laying it out for Cole. "Here's Persephone for today. Just put on her normal shoes with it."

"Okay," Cole said as he looked up.

"I'm going to get dressed," I said as I walked out of the room with today's outfit bag and my toiletries.

I walked into the bathroom and laid out my outfit for the day. My outfit consisted of a Ravenclaw t-shirt, jeans, a Ravenclaw beanie if I got cold at night, a blue hoodie, and a pair of blue high tops. My jewelry/accessories are a Ravenclaw choker that went above my Trinity necklace, my Claddagh ring, and a Ravenclaw bag for the day. My hair was in a side braid, and my nails were done with a Ravenclaw theme. I got dressed before brushing my teeth. I headed out of the bathroom back to the bedroom to get my bag situated for the day. 

I walked back into the room with dirty PJs placed them in the dirty clothes bag for home. I opened the carry-on bag and pulled out my sunglasses, sunscreen, Tylenol, bandaids, and I grabbed the bags that Kate made for Willow, Persephone, and me. I put everything in my Ravenclaw bag that had the same charms as the bags that Kate had given me. 

"Here," Cole said as he placed his first bag, his second bag, and Elijah's two bags into the bag.

I turned to see Cole in a casual outfit as he pulled me into a kiss. I moaned as the kiss became more passionate.

"We have to stop," I whispered as I pulled away. "We can't get any more passionate than June 20th."

"I know," Cole said. "Since you only can get pregnant by your soulmates."

"Where's Persephone?" I asked.

"With Elijah getting fed," Cole answered.

"After she's done, can one of you get her dressed?" I asked.

"Of course," Cole responded.

I walked out of the room and back into the bathroom to brush my teeth. 

Five minutes later, I was finished brushing my teeth. I walked back into the bedroom and grabbed my cellphone from today's park bag. I checked my messages and saw many messages from Willow, Xander, Giles, and Aunt Joyce. 

"Are you ready to go?" Buffy asked as she came into the room.

I looked over at her and noticed she was wearing; a white tank top with a green unbuttoned shirt over it, the sleeves were rolled up, and her shoes were a creme colour. Her jewelry/accessories were an HP (Harry Potter) bag with a Hedwig attached to the zipper and a Deathly Hallows bracelet on her wrist. Her hair was down with a bit pulled back, and her nails were designed with Gryffindor colours. 

"Yeah," I replied as I put my cell back into my bag and grabbed Persephone's diaper bag and the stroller.

I closed and locked up my luggage before we walked out of the bedroom and into the living room.

When we walked into the living room, Elijah was dressed for a day in the park, and Cole was finished dressing Persephone.

"Ready to go?" I questioned as I saw it was 6:58 am.

"Yes, I believe we are," Elijah answered as he took the stroller from me.

Cole laid Persephone into the stroller and did the straps up. I put my Ravenclaw Bag on my back, while Buffy did the same with her bag. Elijah took the diaper bag from me before we headed out the door and towards the evaluators.

When we got downstairs, we met up with the others. Klaus and Finn led us towards Bayliner Diner. Each of our groups split and headed towards what we wanted for breakfast. 

"Hello, what can I get for you today?" a worker asked.

"Two jumbo pancakes combos with maple syrup and bacon as well as Pork Sausage," Cole ordered.

"Omlet with bacon, ham & American Cheese," Elijah ordered.

"French Toast with fruit topping, bacon and breakfast potatoes," Buffy ordered.

"What to drink?" the worker asked.

"A Coffee and three Orange juices," Elijah answered.

Elijah paid for our food before heading to our next counter. Five minutes later, our food was here. We each grabbed a tray and headed to the next area for what was needed next. We grabbed forks, knives, ketchup, and napkins before heading for our tables with the stroller. 

When we got to the table, Buffy and I sat down with Kate, Kyra and Jenna as Rebekah wanted to sit with Jeremy. Cole said he could handle Persephone, so I could eat. 

"So, Aurora, what did you guys do last night?" Kate asked.

"We watched the first Harry Potter movie with the boys and ate our desserts from dinner," I answered.

"Well, we walked around a bit and explored a bit more before heading back to our room before heading to bed," Kyra returned.

"I did some reading while I waited for Jeremy, Rebekah and Kol to come back from the arcade room," Jenna voiced.

We began to eat our breakfast, and we talked about the messages that were left on our phones and the unread emails they got. It wasn't long before we were done eating and were heading for the cars. Once we got everything situated in the SUVs, we were on our way to the parks.

Ten minutes later, we were at the city walk parking for Universal. Elijah, Klaus and Finn paid for parking each of the cars. We got out of the cars before opening the trunk and grabbing out the diaper bag that held everything that Persephone would for the day. 

"Cole, did you baby sunscreen on her?" I asked as Cole laid Persephone down in the stroller before doing up the straps.

"Yes, I did," Cole answered as he placed Persephone's sun hat and sunglasses on her.

I placed the diaper bag in the stroller compartment. I turned on the cooling fans that were attached to the stroller.

"There, my love, now you can be cool in this hot weather," I whispered to her as we started on our way towards City walk's bag check area. 

It was 7:30 am, by the time we got through the bag check. We walked through the city walk and headed for Universal Orlando. We showed our seasonal passes before into the park. 

"We have an hour until our express pass for Harry Potter: escape from Gringotts is for. What do you guys want to do?" Elijah said.

"Why don't we go look around Diagon Alley?" Jenna suggested.

We headed towards the Wonderful World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley area.

Just before we walked into the Diagon Alley, we walked over to the Black Family house that was seen Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix movie. We spotted Kreacher in the window as he opened the curtain and peeked through.

"Girls, let's go see Diagon Alley," Kol called over.

We turned around before heading back to the boys. Kate, Kyra, and I led the group over to the area where Harry would go through and into Diagon Alley. We walked around the wall and into the Diagon Alley as we heard the brick's sound of them moving.

"Welcome to Diagon Alley, everyone," I said as we continued into the Diagon Alley.

"After the ride, we have to go to Ollivanders for our wands," Kate said.

"Okay, we'll go the first, then what next?" Klaus asked.

"Why don't we go see the Knight Bus and see if we can ride Fast and Furious: supercharged?" Jeremy answered.

"After that, we can check out the stores before lunch at the Leaky cauldron and shopping after that during Persephone's nap," I added.

"That's a good idea," Andy responded as we looked around at everything that was around us.

"Does everyone have their bags with them?" Kate asked.

We all nodded as we headed towards Escape from Gringotts but stopped near the window to Ollivanders and looked inside the window and saw it was like the movie.

"Wow, I can't wait to see our wands," Kyra said.

"Are we getting wands for the others?" Jeremy asked.

"Just Willow, Oz and Xander," Kate responded.

We continued to look around until our express time was here.

Now, it was time to get on Harry Potter: Escape from Gringotts Ride. Jenna didn't want to go on the ride, so she stayed back with Persephone, our bags and the stroller. We got into the express line. Ten minutes later, we grabbed our glasses for the ride before getting on the ride. 

After the ride, we found Jenna and Persephone before grabbing our bags from her. We started our way to Ollivander's Wand Shop. When we got to the shop, there were a few customers inside. We walked in and started to look around for our wands and the other's wands. 

"Good morning. What can I help you all today with?" A 'wizard' asked.

"We're looking for some interactive wands for us and some friends," Kate answered.

"Of course, who would like to go first?" The 'wizard' asked.

"I'll go," I answered as I handed the stroller over to Elijah and stepped forward.

"What interactive wand would you like, miss?" The 'wizard' asked.

"If you have it, the Elder wand, please," I answered.

"Of course," The 'wizard' said as he turned and looked around before finding the wand that I wanted. "Here, let's see if this is a good fit for you." He took the wand out of the box and handed it to me.

It was perfect. I read that it was associated with death, renewal, and protection from negative influences.

"What do you think?" The wizard asked.

"It's perfect," I responded.

"Is everything being paid together?" The wizard asked.

"Yes," Finn answered.

"Okay, who is next?" The wizard returned.

"I'll go," Kyra said as I put my elder wand back into the box with the map before closing it. 

"What interactive wand do you want, miss?" The wizard questioned.

"Luna Lovegood, if you have it," Kyra answered before the wizard turned back around and went searching for her wand.

"Here you go," The wizard responded as he came back with the wand before showing it to her.

"Thank you," Kyra replied.

Ten minutes later, we paid for our interactive wands. The girls got Hermione Grangers's (Kate), Nypmphdora Tonks's (Buffy), Fleur Declour's (Rebekah), Professor Mcagongall's (Jenna), and we got Willow a Willow Wand. The boys got Sirius Black's (Kol), Professor Lupin's (Klaus), a Hazel Wand (Elijah), a Holly wand (Finn), Harry Potter's (Cole), Ron's wand (Andy), Ivy Wand (Jeremy), and Cedric's (Leo). We also got Xander a Neville Longbottom and Oz a Vine Wand. We left Ollivander's, headed out of the Diagon Alley and towards the Knight Bus.

When we got to the Knight Bus, we noticed the conductor in purple and talking shrunken head like seen in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. 

"Good Morning to you all. What can we do for you?" The Conductor asked.

"Can we get a picture?" Kyra asked.

"Of course," The Conductor answered.

"What did they say they wanted?" the shrunken head asked.

"They wanted to take a picture with us," The conductor told him.

"I'll take the picture," Jenna said as she took the camera from Kyra, who had taken it out of her bag.

Elijah got Persephone out of the stroller and held her up into his arms as we got ready to take the picture. 

"On the count of three..." Jenna said. "One... Two... Three..."

On Three, the picture was taken, and it was over.

"Thank you for the picture," Kyra thanked him.

"Your welcome," The man responded as Elijah put Persephone back into the stroller and did up the straps.

We left the knight bus and headed over to the fast and furious ride.

When we got in front of the ride place, we stopped.

"I'll stay back with Persphone this time," Elijah said. "Jenna, go have some fun."

"Are you sure?" Jenna questioned.

"Of course. We'll meet you in the Custom Gear Shop," Elijah responded as we placed our bags into the stroller compartment.

We separated from Elijah and Persephone and got into line.

Twenty minutes later, we had watched the pre-show of the ride. Now, we were in front of the line and were waiting for the ride to get. Two minutes later, the ride was here, and it was time to get on. We got on to the ride, and we were off to the world of the fast and the furious. 

After we got off the ride, we walked into the gift shop. Which was at the end of the ride. We started to look around the shop to see if there was anything we would like to get ourselves or our friends. I met up with Elijah had found a couple of collector pop dolls. 

"Look, what I found?" Elijah said as he noticed me coming towards him and Persephone.

"What did you find?" I asked.

"The Late Paul Walker's character and Van diesel's character. Isn't that what you needed in your collection?" Elijah responded as he showed me the pop dolls.

"Yes. I did," I returned before asking. "Did you find anything else? While you were waiting for us."

"Let me show you," Elijah said as I took the pop dolls in my arms before he led me towards another area of the shop.

He showed me some travel tumblers that said, 'Fast and Furious' on the front and 'Family Forever' on the back.

"I love this," I responded.

"Why don't we get this and the pop dolls?" Elijah asked.

"Are you sure?" I questioned.

"Of course, I would get you everything you ever wanted," Elijah answered.

"Okay, I guess," I responded.

"Is there anything else you see that you want?" Elijah asked as Cole came over to me with a travel Tumblr that said, 'Ride or Die.'

"What did you find?" I asked Cole.

"This tumbler," Cole responded as he showed us.

"I think what we got is fine for now," I answered Elijah's question. "Let's go pay."

"I'll go pay. You guys take Persephone out of the shop," Elijah returned as he took the pop dolls, my travel tumbler and Cole's before going to the cashier desk. 

I grabbed my bag before Cole took the stroller, and we headed out of the store to wait for the others. Ten minutes later, Elijah and the others joined us outside with the bags.

"We'll separate everything when we get back to the rooms tonight," Elijah said as I tried to get the bags from him. 

He put the bags into my Ravenclaw bag before zipping it back up.

"Where to next?" Kate asked.

"What time is it?" Jenna questioned.

I pulled out my phone and checked that it was 11:30 am.

"It's 11:30. Breakfast is just ending in Diagon Alley. Where do you want to do until noon?" I questioned.

"Why don't we head over there now? And what time is it when we get there?" Kate responded.

"Good idea," Kol returned.

We started our way towards the Diagon Alley area once more.

When we got to Diagon Alley, we walked in and headed towards Leaky Cauldron. It was 11:39. 

"Why don't we head in now?" Elijah said as he walked into the Leaky Cauldron restaurant with the stroller.

When we walked into the restaurant, we saw how themed the restaurant was to the leaky cauldron in the movies. 

"Why don't we mobile order our food?" I asked.

"Good idea," Kate responded.

Each group leader pulled out their phone and started to take our orders. Our order was two fish & chips, a Bangers & Mash, a Beef, Lamb & Guinness Stew for entrees, a frozen Butterbeer, a normal butterbeer, a Tongue Tying Lemon Squash, one hot water, and a Peachtree Fizzing Tea for drinks. The end of our order was three Butterbeer potted cremes and one Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert. I didn't notice what others ordered for lunch. Elijah paid by phone before getting the order number for the counter. We showed our order number to a cast member, who showed us where to go. We got our order before heading to the tables with the order.

When we sat down, we each took our orders from the tray and placed them in front of us. I grabbed a premade bottle and stuck it into the hot water that we had ordered for Persephone's nap time bottle. We began eating as the others joined us at the tables near us.

"What did you guys get?" Kyra asked.

"Buffy and I got the fish & chips with Butterbeer, one normal and one frozen," I answered as I took a bite of my fish.

Elijah took the bottle out of the water and checked it on his wrist. I watched as he got Persephone out of the stroller to feed her. He fed her as he ate his lunch. We continued to eat and talk about where we were going to shop in Diagon Alley. 

Thirty minutes later, we were done with our food and took our drinks to go, and we were heading out. We headed towards the Horitzonal Alley, where the bathrooms were. So we could change Persephone's wet diaper before putting her down for a nap as we shopped. Elijah took Persephone and the diaper bag into the family washroom as we went to the bathrooms as well. When we came back, Elijah and the stroller with a sleeping Persephone in it were waiting for us.

"So, where to first?" Elijah asked.

"Why don't we got Borgin and Burkes in Knockturn Alley?" Kol responded with a question.

"You want to go down the dark area first?" Rebekah questioned.

"Yes, as well as try four of the Interactive Spells in Knockturn Alley," Kol answered.

"Okay," Rebekah returned before we started our way towards Burgin and Burkes.

On our way to Burgin and Burks, we did a couple of the interactive spells before getting to the shop. When we got to the shop, we noticed that it had snake items and skulls in its window display. We walked in and began to look for something we may like. I walked towards an area, where I saw the deathly hallows symbol. I could feel Elijah coming behind with the stroller.

"What do you see?" Elijah asked as I saw a t-shirt with the deathly hallows symbol on it.

"The t-shirt," I responded before asking him. "Can you see if there's a small size for me?" 

"Of course," Elijah replied as he looked at the tags to find my size. "Ah. Here it is." He got the t-shirt down for me.

I took it from him and held it up to my chest to see if it would fit me.

"What do you think?" I asked.

"It would look good on you," Elijah answered.

"Thank you," I returned before looking for something for Willow.

"Can I help you with something?" A worker asked as I looked at the deathly Hallows necklaces.

"Yes, can I get the deathly Hallows necklace?" I questioned as I pointed at the necklace that I wanted to get for Willow.

"Of course," the worker responded as he got the necklace that I had pointed out at him for me. "Here." He handed it over to me.

"Thank you," I returned.

"Your welcome," The worker replied before heading off.

"What did you get?" Elijah questioned as he appeared behind me.

"A necklace for Willow," I said as I showed him.

"Let's go pay," Cole said as he came over a t-shirt with Hary Potter's Patronus on it.

We headed over to the cashier desk and paid for what we had chosen to get. We walked out of the shop with the stroller before waiting for the others.

"Hey, did you guys find something you liked?" I asked as they came out of the store.

"I got a Sirius Black wanted poster and a journal that had a wanted poster on the front for me and deathly hallow's bracelet for Cordelia," Kyra answered.

"I got a deathly hallows t-shirt for Oz and Azakaban T-shirt for Xander," Jeremy and Leo answered.

"What about the rest of you?" Cole asked.

"Nothing I liked," Buffy answered.

"Where are we going next?" Andy asked.

"Magical Menagerie," Kate answered.

We headed towards the store, which was in Diagon Alley.

We walked towards our next store to shop in. We stopped as we let people out before heading into the store. Elijah followed me towards a section that caught my eye. 

"What's caught your eye?" Elijah asked.

"The Pink Pygmy Puff for Willow," I said as I picked up the one that caught my eye.

"Anything else?" Elijah asked as I turned down the aisle and found a Niffler t-shirt that I liked.

"This shirt," I responded as I found my size and took it off the rack before taking the magical creature, that I wanted. "The stuffie. I really wish Nifflers were real. They are so cute."

"Is there something you would like to get Persephone?" Elijah asked.

"Yes," I answered as I walked over to some more magical stuffies. 

I searched for the right before grabbing the unicorn for Persephone. I also found a dragon egg puppet that she might enjoy. 

"I'll go pay for these," Elijah said as he took what was in my hands and gave me to the stroller.

I noticed that he had a Niffler mug in his hand as well. Cole walked over to Elijah with some things in his hands, and they walked towards the cashier's desk. I walked out of the store with the stroller and waited near the performance area as the deathly hallows story played. As the show ended, my group started their way out of the shop.

"How was the show?" Kate asked.

"The Deathly Hallows?" I questioned.

She nodded.

"It was good. I loved how the actors used the puppets to tell the story," I told Kate as Elijah put the bag into my backpack.

"Where to next?" Andy questioned.

"Why don't we get a snack before continuing on shopping?" Buffy responded with a question.

"Okay, off to Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour," Rebekah replied.

We headed off to the only ice cream parlour in Diagon Alley.

We walked into the ice cream parlour and looked at the menu. I already knew what I wanted for my ice cream.

"Did you know what you want?" Buffy asked me.

"Yeah, I do. What about you?" I answered before asking.

"Me too," Buffy answered.

"Are you girls ready?" Cole questioned.

We nodded as we headed up to the cashier.

"Hello, what can I get you all for today?" The worker asked.

"A chocolate Strawberry Peanut Butter Sundae," I answered.

"A Butterbeer Sundae," Buffy told the worker.

"I'll have Chocolate Strawberry Peanut Butter Sundae," Elijah responded.

"I'll have the Butterbeer Sundae," Cole returned.

"Okay, is that all?" the worker said.

"Yes," Elijah replied.

Elijah paid for our ice cream before we watched them make it. I grabbed my ice cream as Cole grabbed his. Buffy and Elijah grabbed theirs before we headed out of the shop. We headed to find a spot to stand as we ate our ice cream. Mine and Elijah's ice cream were in its souvenir container, which needed to be washed out after we were done eating. We all started to eat our ice cream as we waited for the others to come with theirs. 

"Mmm," I said as I moaned at the delight of the flavours.

"This is good," Buffy moaned.

"Can I try a bit of yours?" Cole asked.

"If I can try some of yours?" I returned as I got a bit of my spoon for Cole.

He fed me a bit of his ice cream as I fed him a bit of my ice cream.

"Aren't you two so cute?" Kyra said as they came over to us.

"He just wanted to see what my ice cream tasted like," I replied.

"Mmhm," Kyra returned.

We continued eating our ice cream before it melted. 

Ten minutes later, we were done eating our ice cream. Elijah had taken our containers and cleaned them up in the bathroom before putting them into a ziplock bag. He put them into my bag before closing it up.

"Where to next?" Rebekah asked.

"Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions," Kyra answered.

We started our way towards our next shop.

Ten minutes later, we weaved ourselves through the crowd and towards the shop. We stopped as we let people out before walking into the store. I walked towards the first thing I saw with the stroller. I looked for mine and Willow's sizes for our Ravenclaw T-shirts.

"Did you find something?" Cole asked.

"T-shirts for Willow and me," I answered as I headed towards the scarfs and Hats.

I took two Ravenclaw Hats and two Ravenclaw scarfs. 

"You too?" Leo said as he came over before grabbing two Hufflepuff scarfs and two Hats.

"Yeah," I answered.

"I got mine," Cole said as he held up a Ravenclaw Hoodie and Scarf.

"I got mine and Giles for Cole," Elijah replied as he came over to us.

"I'm ready too," Buffy said as she came over grabbed her Hogwarts house's scarf and hat.

She had a Gyrfinndor wristlet, scarf and hat in her hands. 

"We'll go and pay for these," Elijah said as he and Cole took what Buffy and I had and headed for the cashier table.

Leo headed for his groups' leader. Buffy and I left the store with the stroller.

"So where are we going last before trying out the magical elements of Diagon Alley?" Buffy asked me as I knelt to see how Persephone was doing.

"We are going to Weasely Wheeze I believe," I answered as I noticed that Persephone was awake and crying from her nap. "Oh, Miss Persephone. You are awake from your nap. Did you have a good nap?" I undid the straps and pulled her into my arms. "Oh, you have a wet diaper. We best take care of that before head out." I turned to Buffy and said, "Buffy can you tell the others that I took Persephone to get Diaper change?" 

"Of course," Buffy said as I placed Persephone back into the stroller and did the straps up before heading to the family bathrooms.

When I got to the bathrooms, I walked in with the stroller and got Persephone situated on the diaper changing table. I took off her pants and undid her onesie before taking off the dirty diaper and putting on a clean one. I redid her buttons and put on her pants. 

"There, young miss all clean," I said as I cleaned my hands with a hand sanitizer wipe. "Now, it's time to get you fed." I took her off of the changing table and put her back into her stroller before doing up the straps. 

We headed out of the bathroom to our group waiting in front of the bathrooms.

"Sorry," I said as I went over to them with the stroller.

"It's okay," Elijah said as he kissed my forehead. 

"Persephone needed a diaper change, and it's time to feed her," I said as I took out a premade bottle and heated it with my fire element to the right temp.

"I'll feed her," Cole said as he took the bottle out of my hand.

"Why don't we feed her near where we're going next?" Jenna pointed out.

"Good point," Cole replied.

We headed towards the store nearest to the exit of Diagon Alley.

Five minutes later, we were in front of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Cole was feeding Persephone her bottle. While the rest of us each tried to the spell in the store window. 

"Are you guys almost done?" Cole asked as Persephone drank the last bit of the formula. 

"Yes," I answered as I was last to do the spell. "Descendo," as I did the wand movements. I turned to see Cole burping Persephone before she let out a burp.

"She's been fed," Cole said as he laid her down back into her stroller and did up the straps. 

"Now, let's shop," Kol replied as Cole gave Persephone her soother.

We walked into the store with the stroller and looked around to see what we wanted to get. I headed over to the skiving boxes and grabbed two. One for me and one for Willow. I headed over to the Fever Fudge grabbed two as well. 

"I'm done," I told Elijah.

"Me too," Buffy and Cole said as they had the same thing that I got.

"Okay, we'll take those to the cashier desk and pay," Elijah said.

"I'll join you," I replied as I handed the stroller over to Cole and Buffy.

I took what Cole and Buffy had and followed Elijah to the cashier desk. We waited in line before heading up to the front. We placed what we got on the table.

"Is that all?" the worker asked.

"Yes," I answered as he rung it up and said the amount.

Elijah paid as the man put the items into a bag before handing it over to Elijah.

"Thank you for shopping at Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Please come again," the man said before we left the shop.

We looked around to see Cole, Persephone and Buffy across the lane from the shop.

"Well, we'll wait for the others before starting our magical journey," I said as Elijah put the bag into my backpack.

Buffy pulled out our wands and handed them to us. Cole headed to do the spell that we did as he fed Persephone. The others came out of the store with their bags.

"Ready to do some magic," Kol said as he got out his wand.

"Let's go have fun," Cole said as he came back from doing the spell.

We headed off to do some spells. After, we would head to City Walk for shopping and dining.

Twenty minutes later, we had finished the spells in Diagon Alley and the few spells in Knockturn Alley. Now, we were off to City Walk. We weaved our way through the park and noticed the stores and rides we would try later on our trip. It wasn't before long we were back in City Walk.

"Where to first?" Kate asked

"Yeah, our reservation isn't until 7," Klaus said as it was 6:30 pm.

"Well, I thought Voodoo Doughnuts, but we can do that before we leave," I replied.

"What about the Universal Studios store?" Kyra said as she had her phone out.

"That's good," Klaus said.

We headed towards the universal studio store.

When we got to the gift shop, we walked in and separated before heading to a section of our choosing. I saw something for me, and it said, 'super mom.'

"Aurora, that's perfect for you," Buffy said as I found my size.

"I'll get it," I replied before finding a minion onesie for Persephone. "Ohh, this is perfect for Persephone." I got her a size bigger than she was now. "This is perfect for Willow." I found a minion mug for her. "What are you going to get?" 

"Let's look around," Buffy said as I followed her with the stroller.

We headed towards the back of the store, where we found some Harry Potter merchandise.

"Do we have Hogwarts House Tumblrs?" Buffy asked me.

"No, why?" I questioned.

"I think I'm going to get this Gryffindor Tumblr, and you should get the Ravenclaw one and one for Willow," Buffy responded. 

Buffy handed me two Ravenclaw Tumblrs and took the Gryffindor one.

"Is that all you want from here?" I asked.

"For now. I mean, who knows what we'll find tomorrow and on the rest of our vacation," Buffy answered as we headed to find Elijah and Cole with the stroller.

"Hey, guys. Are you ready to go?" Cole asked as he saw us coming towards them with our stuff.

"Yeah," I replied as I got into line with Elijah, Buffy and Cole. "I found a minion onesie for Persephone, a minion mug and Ravenclaw Travel Tumblr for Willow and a Super Mom Shirt & Ravenclaw Travel Tumblr for me."

"I got Gryffindor Travel Tumblr for now," Buffy said as we got up to the cashier desk and laid our stuff down on the table.

The cashier scanned it before telling us the amount owed. Elijah paid, and we left the store. When we got outside, we saw the others. 

"Why don't we go get Voodoo Dougnuts now, and we can save them for later," Jenna voiced.

"Good idea," Kyra said.

"Yeah, we have 20 minutes until our reservation," Klaus responded as Elijah took the stroller from me as Buffy put the bag into my backpack. We were off to Voodoo doughnuts.

When we got to Voodoo Doughnuts, Elijah, Cole, Buffy, and I decided to get half a dozen to share between us. We walked up to the counter.

"Welcome to Voodoo Doughnuts. What can we get for you?" the worker asked.

"A half dozen of Voodoo donuts," Elijah answered.

"Okay, what would you like?" the worker asked.

We told him what doughnuts we would like, and Elijah paid for them. We quickly headed out of Voodoo doughnuts with the stroller, and Elijah showed us where we were going for dinner. 

When we got there, we saw the sign on the restaurant, and it said, 'The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savoury Feast Kitchen.' We headed inside, and it was steampunk themed restaurant. It was so cool. We headed towards the restaurant part. 

"Good evening, reservations?" a worker asked us.

"Three Tables under Mikaelson," Finn responded.

"Of course," the worker said as she gathered the menus for the tables.

We were shown the first table and sat down as she gave us menus before seating the other two tables. I opened my menu to see what I would like. 

"What are you going to get?" Buffy asked me.

"The Coco Pork Tenderloin sounds," I answered. "What about you?"

"Braised Short Rib," Buffy told me.

"That looks good," I said as I read what she wanted. "What about for drinks?"

"Marshmellow Crisp Milkshake, you?" Buffy returned.

"Brownie Milkshake," I voiced.

"Good evening, my name is Danielle, and I will be your server. What can I get you all today?" our server Danielle asked.

"Ladies first," Elijah said.

"I'll have the Coco Pork Tenderloin and a Brownie Milkshake," I ordered.

"I'll have Braised Short Rib and a Marshmellow Crisp Milkshake," Buffy ordered.

"I'll have the chicken Bercy and a S'mores Milkshake," Cole ordered.

"I'll have Chicken Bourguignon and a Bourbon neat," Elijah ordered.

"Okay, I'll get your drinks to you momentarily," Danielle said.

She left as I warmed up Persephone's bottle. 

"Can I feed her?" Buffy asked.

"Of course," I answered as I finished warming it up. 

I gave Buffy the bottle before getting Persephone out of her stroller and handing her over. Buffy fed her as we waited for our drinks.

"So, what are we doing when we get back to the room?" Buffy asked.

"Bathing Persephone, getting her ready for bed, and putting her to bed," I answered. "Eating doughnuts as the boys watch the next Harry Potter movie and while I work on the next book of my series."

"I think I'll join the boys in watching the next Harry Potter movie," Buffy responded.

"We'll welcome you," Cole answered.

Our drinks came as Buffy finished feeding Persephone. She burped her before handing her over to me. I laid her back into the stroller before doing up the straps and giving her the soother. We took a sip of our drink and talked about the day we had. It wasn't before long our food was here. We jumped right into eating. We continued to chat as we ate and drank. After we were done, we asked for our milkshakes to go into to-go cups. We were given to-go cups with milkshakes in them. Elijah paid and left a tip before we headed outside with the others. Cole wheeled the stroller down the ramp with us behind him. 

"Back to the Hotel, we go," Cole said as we headed out of Citywalk and towards the garage that held the cars.

When we got to the cars, we unpacked the diaper bag, our bags and got Persephone strapped into her car seat. Elijah closed the trunk as Buffy got into the SUV. I followed suit and buckled myself in before closing the door. The boys got into the car, and we were off to the hotel. Twenty minutes later, we were back at the hotel. I got out of the car and headed to the trunk. I opened it grabbed the stroller, diaper bag and my bag before handing Buffy hers.

"I'll get Persephone into the stroller," Buffy said as she rolled the stroller over to Persephone's side door and opened it. "Oh... it's okay. We're back at the hotel. You're going to get a nice bath, a clean diaper and a nice clean sleeper." Buffy told Persephone as Persephone cried in her arms. 

Buffy laid her into the stroller before doing up the straps, and we were off back to the room. 

When we walked into the lobby, we separated from the group. My group headed to the evaluators that went to our floor. Elijah, Cole, Persephone, Buffy and I got on our floor and headed to our room. I unlocked the door and headed in with the others behind me. I took off my bag and set it down on a chair. 

"Who's bathing Persephone tonight?" I asked.

"I will," Elijah and Cole chimed up.

"Okay," Buffy said as she handed over the stroller to the boys and took the doughnuts from Elijah.

"The sleeper for tonight should be in the bag that says day 2," I told them.

"Got it," Cole responded as they walked into the bedroom with the stroller. 

Buffy set the doughnuts down on the table as I opened my bag. I pulled out the gift bags and set them out on the table. I pulled out the bags that Kate had made and set them next to the bags.

"We're going to bath Persephone," Elijah said.

"Okay," Buffy said as she opened her bag and handed me my wand.

"Have a nice bath, my sweet Persephone," I said as I blew her a kiss.

Elijah and Cole walked into the bathroom with Persephone, the baby bathtub and her toiletries.

"What are you doing?" Buffy asked.

"I'm putting our shopping our separate bags," I told her as I put my wand box into my extension bag.

"That's a good idea," Buffy responded as she grabbed her bag and placed her wand box into it.

"Which gift bag, first?" I asked as I grabbed Willow's wand box and slipped it into her bag.

"How about Custom Gear?" Buffy responded as she grabbed the first bag of shopping.

"My pop dolls and my Family Forever Travel Tumblr," I said as I pulled them out of the shopping bag and slipped them into my bag. 

"Cole's Ride or Die Travel Tumblr," Buffy said as she slipped his Tumblr into his bag.

"What's next?" I questioned.

"Burgins & Burkes," Buffy answered as she grabbed the bag.

"My deathly Hallows T-shirt," I said as I slipped my T-shirt into my extension bag. "Willow's Deathly Hallows Necklace and Cole's Harry Potter Patronus T-shirt." I pulled out Willow's and Cole's items and slipped them into their appropriate bags.

"Now onto, Magical Menagerie," Buffy replied.

"My Niffler shirt and stuffie," I muttered as I took it out of the bag and put it in mine. "Persephone's unicorn stuffie & dragon egg puppet." I took out Persephone's items and placed them into her extension bag. "Willow's Small Pink Pygmy Puff." I pulled out Willow's Pygmy Puff and put it into her extension bag. "Buffy's Niffler hoodie." I took out the hoodie and handed it to Buffy. "Elijah's Niffler Mug & Cole's Hedwig stuffie." I took out Elijah's mug and Cole's Hedwig stuffie before placing them into their bags. 

Buffy and I continued with the other shopping items but stopped when we finished. There was still a bit left in the bags that we didn't know where they would go. 

"I'm going to get into my PJs and grab my laptop," I said.

"Me too," Buffy returned as we got up and headed to the bedrooms. 

When I got into the bedroom, I grabbed today's nightwear and changed into them. I undid my braid before brushing my hair. I headed to my carry-on and grabbed my laptop and charger. I walked out of the bedroom and placed my laptop on the table. Then, I plugged my charger into my laptop before plugging it into the wall. I booted it up and got a word doc up. I started writing the first chapter of the sequel to my book. The first chapter was about the summer we returned to Mystic Falls before Emelia (me) got pregnant. 

"She is bathed, changed and in her sleeper," Cole said as he, Persephone and Elijah came out of the bathroom. "Now she needs a bottle." Cole handed me the bottle for bed.

I warmed up the bottle before handing it over to him. I went back to writing chapter one of the book. Twenty minutes later, I was at the end of the short first chapter as Cole was burping Persephone. I looked up as Persephone let out a burp. I saved the first chapter before getting up. I took Persephone from Cole's arms and headed into the bedroom to place her down for bed. I laid her down in the playpen before laying her blanket down on her and giving her soother. 

"Nighty-night, my love. May you have sweet dreams," I whispered as I shut off the light in the bedroom but left the door open slightly. 

I walked back into the living room to see Buffy in her PJs, Elijah and Cole watching the opening scene to Harry Potter 2. They were munching on the doughnuts that we had gotten at Voodoo doughnuts. I walked over to the kitchenette before making up the bottles for tonight's wake calls. I looked over to see Harry Potter being saved by the Weasley brothers as I finished three bottles for the middle of the night. I opened the mini-fridge stuck the premade bottle into the fridge before closing. I walked over to the doughnut box and grabbed my chosen doughnut. 

"Mm," I said as I took a bite of the doughnut and took a seat a the table. "So good."

I quickly ate my doughnut before slurping down my milkshake as I continued to work on the book. Two hours later, the movie was over. While I was half done with the second chapter of the book. I saved the word doc as I saw the time. It was time for me to go to bed. I got and shut off the laptop before unplugging it. I picked up my laptop and charger before turning to Buffy and the boys. 

"Goodnight," I said as I turned and headed to the bathroom.

When I got into the bathroom, I brushed my teeth before washing my mouth out. I walked out of the bathroom before quietly heading into the bedroom. I placed my laptop down on the side table with the charge before checking on Persephone to see that she was asleep. I got into bed. Elijah and Cole came into the bedroom wearing their nightwear and got into bed. We rolled over and fell asleep.

Time Skip

It was morning, and I was already making up bottles for Persephone for our day in the park. I made enough for the day before slowly walking into the bedroom and grabbing my toiletries and housecoat. I walked into the bathroom and started the shower. I got out of my PJs, took off my Trinity necklace, and ring before getting into the shower. I quickly showered before getting out and putting my housecoat on before brushing my teeth.

"Today, we are going to Hogsmead," I muttered as I walked out of the bathroom and to the bedroom to grab my outfit for the day.

"Good morning," Cole whispered as he saw me come into the bedroom.

"Morning," I whispered back as I opened my luggage and grabbed today's outfit bag. "Sleep well?"

"Yeah. Persephone woke up four times. Twice for a diaper change and two times for a feeding," Cole told him.

"I'm going to get dressed," I said as Persephone woke up crying.

"I'll get her changed and dressed for the day," Elijah said as he came into the room ready for the day.

"Thank you," I replied as I kissed him on the cheek and headed to the bathroom.

When I got into the bathroom, I took out my clothes laid them out on the counter before putting my shoes on the floor and my bag for the day on the counter. I took off my housecoat and quickly got into my underwear and bra before getting to my pants and putting on the belt. I pulled my top over my head and down before putting my Ravenclaw robe over top of my clothes. I quickly put on my shoes before adding my Trinity protection necklace and Claddagh ring. I brushed my hair before doing the hairstyle that I had planned for today.

"Hey, Aurora," Cole said as he came into the bathroom dressed.

"Yeah," I said as I put my side bag on.

"We're ready to go," Cole said as I put on little lip gloss.

"Is Persephone's bottles in her diaper bag?" I asked.

"Yes, and she's been fed," Cole answered.

"I'm almost done," I responded as I walked out of the bathroom with my housecoat.

I walked into the bedroom and put my housecoat back into its bag. Then, I put my laptop into my spelled carry-on before grabbing my phone, wallet and sunglasses placed them into my side bag. I also grabbed my wand and map. Which Cole took from my hands.

"Let's go," Cole said as he took my hand in his, and we left the bedroom.

When we got to the living room, Buffy was dressed in a red top with light brown jeans and red flats. Her hair was down with some pulled back as her jewelry was a phoenix ring, a bracelet with claws, her deathly hallows bracelet, and blue hanging earrings. Her bag was the same as yesterday's.

"Are we ready to go?" Buffy asked.

"Yes, let's get some breakfast," Cole answered as Elijah got up and started pushing the stroller towards the door.

We left the room and headed towards the evaluators.

When we got downstairs, the others were at the Starbucks location in the hotel. We headed over and got in line. We ordered our breakfast and coffee/other drinks before sitting down at the tables.

"Hey, where are we going first?" Kate asked.

"Hogwarts Express near Diagon Alley," Jenna said. "We thought you would like to head to Hogsmead with tradition."

"I like that idea," I replied as I took a sip of Shaken Passion Ice Tea.

"Me too," Kyra added as we continued to eat and drink before we headed off towards the cars.

When we got to the cars, we unpacked the stroller and got Persephone situated in her car seat before getting into the car. Elijah put the stroller into the trunk before closing and getting into the car.

"Off we go," Cole said as Elijah started the car and we off to the city walk garages once more.

Ten minutes later, we were parked, situated, bag checked, and was off to the Hogwarts Express. When we got there, we got into line with the stroller and walked through the cue as we waited for our turn on the Hogwarts Express. Another ten minutes later, we were on the Hogwarts Express heading to Hogsmead. Persephone was on my lap as we watched the screen as we left the station. It really felt like we were going to Hogwarts.

Twelve minutes later, we were off the Hogwarts express. Persephone was safely back in the stroller as Cole pushed the stroller.

"Where to first?" Rebekah asked.

"Forbidden Journey," Klaus answered as we headed for the castle.

When we got to the castle, we decided who would go on and who would stay with Persephone. 

"I'll stay with Persephone," Finn said.

"Are you sure?" I asked him.

"Of course. You guys go have fun," Finn answered as he took the stroller from Cole.

We headed towards the line and got into line.

Twenty minutes later, we were close in front as we grabbed our glasses and were ready to get on the ride. A little while later, we got onto the ride. We were off to the Forbidden Journey. 

After the ride, we grabbed our things from the lockers and met with Finn and Persephone.

"How was the ride?" Finn asked.

"It was amazing. The storyline was great, and having the actual actors in it just made it more amazing," Kate answered.

"I can't wait to get on another ride," Leo responded.

"Well, what ride is next?" Andy questioned.

"Why don't we try to get on Flight of Hippogriff?" Kyra questioned.

"Okay," I responded as we headed for the flight of Hippogriff.

When we got to the flight of Hippogriff, we stopped once more to see who would go on the ride and who would stay with Persephone.

"I'm staying this time," Klaus voiced. "Finn, go have some fun."

"Okay," Finn responded. "Are you sure, brother?"

"I'm sure," Klaus returned before we headed for the line and got in.

An hour later, we were in front of the line. We waited for the coaster to return and let off its passengers for our group to get on. We were in pairs. Cole was with me, Elijah with Leo, Kate with Finn, Kyra with Andy, Buffy with Jenna, and Jeremy with Rebekah. Moments later, its passengers were off before it came to a stop in front of the doors. The doors opened, and we got on to the ride. We were off on a hippogriff flight.

After the ride was done, we grabbed our bags and got out of the basket vehicle before heading to find Klaus.

"How was the ride?" Klaus asked us as Cole took the stroller back.

"The ride was fun. We sat in a basket-like vehicle at the front of the coaster was Hippogriff body," Kyra told him.

"Where to next?" Cole asked.

"Why don't we take in a show? I think the Frog choir is playing now," Kate said as she pulled up the app on her phone.

We headed towards the stage area to take in a show.

A Slight Time Skip Later...

It was lunchtime. We were heading to the Three Broomsticks. A cast member handed each of us a menu as we were directed to the ordering counter.

"Why don't we get The Grande Feast?" Elijah questioned.

"Yeah, it feeds four, and there are four in our group," Buffy responded.

"That's a good idea," I replied.

"So, what to drink?" Cole asked.

"I'm going to get Sweetened Ice Tea," I responded.

"I'll get the same," Buffy said.

"Me too," Elijah responded.

"Me Three," Cole voiced.

"Hello, welcome to Three Broomsticks. What can I get for you?" a cast member asked.

"We would like the Grande Feast and four sweetened Ice Teas," Elijah ordered.

"Will that be all?" the cast member questioned.

"Yes," Elijah answered.

The cast member told us what we owed, and Elijah paid before telling us where to pick up our food. We headed to the counter and got our feast and drinks before heading to a table to eat. Our Grande feast consisted of a fresh garden salad with a signature vinaigrette dressing. While our main course was a combination of rotisserie smoked chicken & spareribs, corn on the cob, and roast potatoes.

When we found a table, we sat down and began to eat our feast. A couple of minutes later, the rest of our trip group came over with their food.

"What did you get, and how did you get that much?" Kol asked.

"We got the Grande Feast, and it serves four," Buffy told him.

"That looks really good," Kyra said.

"We know. Try this," I said as I handed Kyra a smoked chicken. "For some reason, I had a craving for this."

"Wonder why?" Jenna questioned.

"I don't know. But I've had cravings for the ice cream we had yesterday, even before we had it," Rebekah responded.

"I had cravings as well," Kate said.

"Me too," Kyra replied.

I got to thinking that the last time. I had cravings like this I was pregnant with Persephone. I shook my head and thought I might be a little late.

"It's probably nothing. We have cravings before," I voiced.

We continued to eat as I warmed up Persephone's bottle of formula. 

"I'll feed her," Elijah said as he took the bottle before taking Persephone from her stroller and feeding her. "Continuing eating."

We went back to eating and talked about where we were shopping today.

Twenty minutes later, we cleaned up and headed out of the Hogsemead for family washrooms to change Persephone's diaper. I took Persephone into the washroom and changed her diaper before walking back out and joining the others. I bent down and gave Persephone her soother before laying her blanket down on her and pulling the shade cover over her.

"Let's go shopping," I said.

"Where to first?" Buffy asked.

"Dervish and Bangles," Jenna answered.

"Okay, let's head back to Hogsmead," Klaus voiced as we started our way back to Hogsmead.

A couple of minutes later, we were in front of the Dervish and Bangles store. We walked in and started to explore. I walked over to an area with the stroller and found something. I looked at something for Xander.

"Hey, what did you find?" Jeremy asked as he came up behind me.

"Something for Xander," I responded as I picked up the box with the golden snitch in it.

"I have him for his extension bag. I think he would love this," Jeremy said as he took it from my hand.

"I think he would love it too," I replied before saying. "Well, I'm going to look for something for Willow, Persephone and me. Oh, don't forget to find your ornament for the Christmas tree."

"Don't worry, I won't," Jeremy responded as I pushed the stroller over to some Team Captain T-shirts.

I looked for my size before picking it up and putting it against me. I liked it. I walked away from the rack and headed to the jewelry section. I found a choker that would look great around Willow's neck with her Hogwarts house on it. After that, I headed over to where I saw Christmas ornaments. I looked around at them before picking up the Ravenclaw crest ornament and Ravenclaw Flag ornament and heading over to where I saw the flags for my last purchase at this shop. I picked up three Ravenclaw flags before setting them down on top of the stroller and went to find Elijah, who was looking at the mugs/glassware.

"Hey, Elijah," I said.

"Hello, darling," Elijah said as he turned and kissed me on the cheek. "Did you get what you wanted?"

"Yes, I did," I replied. "I also got the ornaments for the Christmas tree. 

"Are you ready to pay?" Elijah asked.

"I am," I responded as we headed towards the cashier with Cole and Buffy had joined us.

When we got to the cashier, we carefully placed our items on the counter in front of the cashier. The cashier ranged it up before telling us the price, and Elijah paid. We headed out of the store with our bag and the stroller before stopping and waiting for the others. 

"Here, we'll put the bag into my backpack this time," Buffy said as she took the bag from Elijah and took off her backpack before placing the bag into it and closing it up.

"How is she sleeping?" I asked Cole.

"She's soundly asleep. Amazingly, she can sleep through this," Cole said as he peered down into the cover.

The others joined us with their bags.

"Where to next?" Klaus asked.

"Owl Post," Jenna responded.

We headed over to the Owl Post. The store was next to Dervish and Banges. When we got to the store, we walked in and started to look around. I headed over to the bookmarks/journals section. I picked up a Dobby Bookmark and a light blue Ravenclaw journal for me and Hermione Bookmark and a darker blue Ravenclaw journal for Willow. I walked over to the postcards and picked one up for Willow. I walked over to the cashier's desk with my things.

"Ready to pay?" the woman asked.

"Yes," I responded as I laid what I grabbed onto the counter.

"Will you be sending the poster card somewhere?" the woman asked.

"Yes," I answered.

"Please write what you want to say on the back and the address," the woman said.

I wrote the address before writing what I wanted to say to Willow.

Will,

We've missed you so much. We will be seeing you soon.

A.

I handed the poster card over to the woman who told me the price for everything. I paid for my things this time before being handed my bag.

"Thank you," I replied.

"Have a good day," The woman returned as I walked the stroller out of the store and into the park.

I walked and headed to an area where the others could see me when they came out.

"Ah, there you are," Elijah said as he came out of the store with Cole and Buffy behind him.

"Yeah, sorry. I wanted to buy the items myself and send something to someone," I replied. "And it was getting tight in there. I thought it was best I took the stroller out of there."

"That's okay. You should have told us," Cole voiced.

"I know. Is everyone almost done in there?" I responded.

"Yeah, they were in at the cashier's counter. When we walked out," Buffy told me.

"Hey, guys, where to next?" Kyra asked as they came over to us.

"Filch's Emporium of Confiscated Goods," I answered.

Cole took the stroller as we headed towards the next store. 

When we got there, we headed right in and started to explore. I walked over to where I found socks. I picked up two pairs of Ravenclaw socks before grabbing a Ravenclaw pullover in Willow's size. I headed over to see Dobby T-shirts and mugs. I picked and found a Dobby T-shirt in my size before grabbing a mug that had Dobby is Free on the back of the cup. 

"Did you get what you wanted?" Elijah asked as he came over to me.

"Yes," I answered.

"Let me pay for these, please," Elijah returned.

"Okay," I responded as I handed Elijah the items in my hands.

"Come on, Aurora, why don't we go outside?" Cole said as he came over with the stroller.

We headed outside to wait for the others. Thirty minutes later, the others were out of the store and heading towards us.

"Ready to go to Honeydukes?" Jeremy questioned.

"Yeah. I have a list of what I need to get and what I want for a snack," I answered as we headed our way to Honeydukes.

When we got there, we paused for a moment before talking.

"I think we should get our snack first before getting what we're buying for shopping?" I voiced.

"That's a good idea," Cole responded as Persephone woke up from her nap.

I looked at my phone to see that she had been sleeping for about two hours. I got out a bottle and warmed it up.

"I'm going to feed her before getting my snack," Cole said before I handed him the bottle.

"Are you sure? What do you want? We can get it for you," I questioned.

"I want 2 pieces of Butterbeer fudge," Cole answered.

"Okay, we'll get that for you," Elijah said as Cole got Persephone out of her stroller and started to feed her.

We headed into Honeydukes and headed to the counter for what we wanted in the case. We looked at the glass case at what we wanted to get.

"Good afternoon. What can I do for you?" a cast member asked.

"Yes, we would like two pieces of Butterbeer fudge, a pumpkin pasty, a pumpkin cake, two pieces of chocolate caramel swirl fudge," Elijah said.

"You know when you buy four pieces of fudge you get two free. What would you like to get for your free ones?" The cast member told us.

"Aurora, why don't you pick?" Buffy voiced.

"Hmm," I said as I stared at the fudge to find what I wanted. "Two pieces of the peanut butter fudge."

"Good choice. Will that be all?" the cast member said as he got our order together.

"Yes, for now," Elijah replied as he paid for our snacks before we headed back outside.

When we got out of the store, we walked over to Cole as he put Persephone back into her stroller.

"Here is your fudge," Elijah said as he handed Cole his pieces of butterbeer fudge.

"Thank you," Cole said as he straightened back up.

"Your pumpkin pasty," Elijah voiced as he handed me my snack. "What would you like me to do with your peanut butter fudge, Aurora?"

"I'll save it for tonight after we put Persephone to bed," I responded before taking a bite of my snack. "Mmm." I moaned as I tasted the pumpkin. "My favourite Fall flavour."

The others joined us as we ate our snacks before heading back into Honeydukes for our shopping needs. Cole had the stroller as I looked around to find what I needed. I headed over to the chocolate frogs and grabbed two chocolate frogs before heading to the Bertie botts beans. I took two boxes of the beans before looking behind me to find the Honeyduke lollypops and grabbed one for Willow. I saw some Honeydukes candy jars for sale and grabbed one each for Willow and me. I walked over to a section of shelves and grabbed Fizzing Wizbees.

"Looks like you have a lot," Cole said as I jumped without breaking the glass jars in my hands.

"Cole, be careful. I'm holding candy jars," I told him.

"Sorry. Need some help?" Cole responded.

"That would be lovely. I need to grab two Chocolate cauldrons and one Honeydukes saltwater taffy," I returned.

Cole took the jars from me as we headed over to the windows shelves with the saltwater taffy in front of them. I grabbed them before heading over to the wall that had Chocolate Cauldrons on them. I grabbed two of them before we headed to find Elijah.

"Ready to pay?" Elijah asked as he held a chocolate frog, a Bertie Botts every flavour beans, a chocolate cauldron and two Honeydukes mugs.

"Very," I responded as we headed back to the cashier's table.

"Welcome back. Is this all?" the cast member voiced.

"Yes," Elijah said as we placed everything we had on the counter.

The cast member rang it up before giving the price, and Elijah paid as the cast member carefully put our things into bags. We took the bags and headed back outside. We waited for the others before we headed back to the Hogwarts Express. 

"So, where to next?" Kol asked.

"We are heading back to City walk for an early dinner and then back to the hotel," Jenna responded.

"Yeah, tomorrow and the next day we're spending it at Volcano Bay," Kate piped up as we waited for the express to return.

We got on and were off to Universal Diagon Alley Hogwarts Express.

Ten minutes later, we were back at Universal Studios Orlando. We headed out of the station with Persephone in Cole's arms. 

"Next stop. City walk," Cole said as he placed Persephone back into the stroller and did up the straps.

 We headed over to the entrance of the park.

After our group left the park, we headed for Universal Studio's City Walk.

"Where are we eating?" Kate asked.

"Bigfire restaurant," Klaus said as we headed towards where the restaurant was.

Elijah had his arm around my shoulders as we walked towards dinner. Cole had the stroller. Ten minutes later, we were at the restaurant and were seated. 

"What looks good?" Buffy asked.

"Hearth Baked bread sounds good for starters," I voiced.

"What about for our main?" Cole questioned.

"Bigfire cheeseburger," I voiced.

The rest of our table had their thoughts for what they wanted.

"Good afternoon, what can I get for you all?" a waiter asked.

"We would like Hearth Baked Bread, a Bigfire cheeseburger, a skillet Roasted Half Chicken and a short rib pasta," Elijah ordered.

"What would you like for your drinks?" the waiter asked.

"I would like a rootbeer," I responded.

"I would like a coke," Buffy answered.

"I would like a sweetened Ice Tea," Cole replied.

"I would like the same as him," Elijah voiced.

"Okay, I will bring your drinks to you shortly," The waiter said as he left with our order.

"We'll feed Persephone back at the hotel," Cole said as we noticed she was asleep once more.

The waiter came back with our drinks before leaving again.

"What are you guys watching tonight?" I asked.

"Might as well watch the next Harry Potter movie," Cole said. "What about you?" 

"I think I will be finishing my second chapter and starting on the third," I replied. "Maybe wash of this nail polish as well."

"Good idea," Buffy responded.

"I also have to plan what songs to add to my album for this year's soundtrack," I added.

The waiter came back after twenty minutes with our food. We began to eat and talk about today's journey. An hour and a half later, we were done and were back at the cars. We unpacked the stroller before getting Persephone back into the car seat. Buffy, Cole and I got into the car. Elijah put the car seat into the trunk before closing it and getting in. We were off to the hotel once more. 

Ten minutes later, we were back at the hotel, and Persephone was back in the stroller as we headed back to the rooms. When we got to our room, I picked Persephone up and out of her stroller before feeling a wet diaper. 

"Oh, little miss needs a diaper change," I said as I grabbed the diaper bag. 

Cole pulled out the changing pad and laid it on the floor. I knelt before laying Persephone onto the changing pad. I took off her pants and unbuttoned her onesie before changing her diaper and putting on a clean one. 

"There all clean," I said as I redid the buttons and put her pants back on.

"I'll feed her," Cole said as he got out the baby food from the bag.

I placed her back into the stroller and did up the straps. Cole started to feed her the baby purre for dinner.

"I'll get the nail polish remover," Buffy said as she headed to her room.

I went to grab my laptop and charger from the bedroom. I took off my purse and took out my cellphone and wallet before taking off my sunglasses laying them on the side table. I placed the purse into the outfit bag before grabbing my laptop and charger and heading back out to the living room. 

When I walked into the living room, Buffy had set up the nail polish remover and cotton swabs. Persephone was done eating and was playing peek-a-boo with Cole. Elijah was reading something on his phone. 

"Okay. I'm ready," I said as I sat down in front of Buffy. 

"I'll do you first," Buffy said as she took my right hand and started cleaning off the nail polish.

"So, what are we doing after this?" I asked her.

"Well, we can sort out the shopping before you get Persephone ready for bath and bed," Buffy answered.

I looked over at Persephone as she babbled and played with a small soft toy in her hands as Cole read to her. I looked back over at Buffy, who was finished with my right hand and had started with my left.

"So tomorrow, we're swimming and having fun at Volcano Bay," Buffy said. "Yeah," I replied.

"What are we doing with Persephone?" Buffy asked.

"Well, we can go into the pool with Persephone but only for short periods. We have swim diapers, baby bottles and food, her hooded towel, baby sunscreen, hat, fans and sunglasses," I answered. "Plus, Elijah, Cole and I have a routine planned for Volcano bay, and we booked private cabanas for it."

"Okay, then," Buffy returned as I started on her right hand.

"Everything will be fine," I told her. "Plus..."

"Plus, what?" Buffy questioned.

"Well, I kinda used my gift for personal use by accident and found out..." I voiced.

"And found out what?" Buffy questioned.

"That your expulsion from Sunnydale High will be overturned. I just don't know when and you'll graduate with us," I told her.

"That's good," Buffy said as I finished her right hand and went onto her left. "So, we'll be back in Sunnydale before we know it."

"Yeah, I just wish Angel would be here for it," I muttered.

"Hey," Buffy said. "Angel would be here if he could. We'll find a way for him to return to us."

"I know. I just miss Angel a lot," I replied. "I mean, he'll miss Persephone's first crawl, he missed her first giggle, and he'll miss a lot of her milestones."

"We'll record everything. We'll take pictures," Buffy said as I finished her pinky. "Now, let's go wash our hands and get into our PJs."

We grabbed the nail polish remover and cotton swabs before getting up and heading to our bedrooms to get our PJs before walking into the bathroom.

When we walked into the bathroom, we took turns washing our hands before getting into our PJs.

"What time is it?" Buffy asked.

"It looks like 6:00 pm," I answered as I looked at my phone.

"Well, we may have enough time to watch two Harry Potter movies tonight," Buffy said.

"I may have time to finish the second chapter and third chapter of my new book," I replied.

"When does Persephone have her bath and get put down for bed?" Buffy asked as we walked out of the bathroom.

"Uh, between 7 pm & 7:30," I answered as we headed back into the living room.

When we walked into the living room, Persephone was on her tummy doing tummy time with Cole and Elijah.

"How she's doing?" I asked.

"She's starting to like tummy time and keeps reaching for her soft toy," Cole said as she rolled over from her tummy to her back. 

"And she's rolling over from her tummy to her back," Elijah said.

"Soon, enough she'll be crawling," I voiced.

"I know, our apartment is already safe for that to happen," Elijah responded.

"Well, in an hour, she needs to be bathed, changed into a sleeper, bottle-fed, and put to bed," I voiced as I made up some bottles for her nighttime feedings and her bottle for bed.

"I'll do it," Cole returned.

"And I'll feed her and put her down for bed," Elijah responded.

"Are you sure? That also means ignoring her crying when she's put down," I asked.

"We can do it," Cole said.

"I believe when I see it," I replied.

The boys have been having some trouble letting Persephone cry herself to sleep. Every time I set her down to sleep, she cried herself to sleep. But every time the boys put her down to sleep, she would cry, and they won't ignore it. I mean, she may have slept perfectly the last two nights, but that doesn't mean that it will happen the rest of our trip.

An hour later...

I warmed up the bottle after Persephone was done with her bath. She was dressed into her sleeper and was waiting for her bottle. 

"There, it's warmed," I said as I checked it on my wrist. "Here." I handed it over to Elijah.

"Thank you," Elijah replied as he took it and began to feed Persephone.

"Your welcome," I returned as I went back to writing my next chapter as I had finished the second chapter. 

Five minutes later, Persephone was fed and burped before she was handed to me.

"Good night, my love," I whispered as I kissed her forehead. "May the angels watch over you." I handed her over to Cole, who took her into the bedroom.

I turned on the screen for the baby video camera as I heard Persephone start to cry. I watched as Cole lay her down into the playpen before giving her soother and laying her blanket over her. I continued to watch as Cole tried to walk out of the room without looking back. I looked over to see Cole coming out and over to Elijah and Buffy. He sat down next to Elijah before Buffy unpaused the movie. Ten minutes later, Persephone was still crying, but at the corner of my eye, Cole and Elijah were both nudging their eyes towards the bedroom.

"Don't even think about it. Persephone needs to self soothe herself to sleep," I voiced.

"But..." Cole said.

"But nothing. Go back to watching the movie," I told Cole and Elijah.

They went back to the movie, and twenty minutes later, Persephone had cried herself to sleep. I had decided that I might finish the chapter and start the fourth chapter before drafting an email to the publisher that wanted to publish my book. 

Two hours later, the third and fourth movies were done and over with, and it was time for bed.

"I'm heading to bed," I said as I saved my work and shut down my laptop before plugging the plug and getting up with them in my arms.

"We'll join you shortly," Elijah said as they watched the fifth movie of Harry Potter movie.

"Good night," I returned before taking my laptop and putting it onto the side table before heading to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

I brushed my teeth before heading to the bedroom. I got into bed before moving to the middle. I turned over and went to sleep. It wasn't before long that the boys joined me. I felt a kiss on my cheek from both boys before they turned over and joined me in sleep.

A Giant Time Skip Later...

Dear Diary,

Sorry, I haven't written in for a while. We've been having so much fun. Just before we spent our first time at Volcano Bay. We sorted out the shopping from our Day 3 shopping. Willow got a Ravenclaw Flag & choker, a Hermione Bookmark, a dark blue Ravenclaw journal, and a postcard that I had sent from the Owl Post. She also got a Ravenclaw pullover & socks, a chocolate frog, Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, Honeydukes lollypop, Honeydukes candy jar & a Chocolate Cauldron. I bought a Ravenclaw Phone Case, Qudduitch Team Captain T-shirt, and a Ravenclaw Flag. I also got a Dobby bookmark, a light blue Ravenclaw journal, a Dobby T-shirt & Mug, a pair of Ravenclaw socks. I also bought a chocolate frog, a Bertie Botts, Fizzing Wizbees, Honeydukes Salt Water Taffy, a Honeydukes Candy Har and Chocolate Cauldron. But our Christmas tree, I bought a Ravenclaw Flag ornament and picked out a Ravenclaw crest Ornament for Persephone. Anyway, let me tell you what we did the last three days before today.

Day 4 & 5- Volcano Bay Days: We spent two days at the water park. For both days, we had private cabanas for our group. It was an excellent way for Persephone to nap while the rest of our group had fun. The first day, Elijah and I stayed with Persephone as she slept while the others went to have fun. On the second day, Cole and Jenna stayed back with Persephone as she slept while we had fun. We had fun with Persphone in the beach area where she could be with Elijah or Cole holding her. When we went for the water slides, we took turns who would stay with Persephone. Anyway, we had fun and wore ourselves out on both days.

On our sixth day in Orlando, we spent our time at the park.

Day 6- 2nd Day at Universal Studios Orlando:  The boys surprised us with breakfast before we headed out to the park. We headed for the theme park after breakfast. When we got to the park, we took a picture in front of the Universal Studios Globe. When we walked into Universal Studios, we headed for the Despicable Me Minion Mayhem ride, which was only a thirty-minute wait. Elijah decided to sit with Persephone in the stationary seat while the rest of our group enjoyed the ride. After the ride, we took another picture with the minion at the end of the ride. We took a stop in the Gift shop called Super Silly Stuff. We bought a Mummy Sturat Pop Doll for me, a unicorn onesie, a Minion Buble Wand, a sleepy Kittens Board Book and a Minion Bath Toys for Persephone. Willow got a pressed Penny of Kevin and a Minion Glass. After the shopping in Super Silly Stuff, we headed for Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket. Kate, Kyra, Rebekah and I stayed back with Persephone as we were feeling nauseous for some reason. So we headed for stores near Universal Studios Store. We bought a universal studios Retro mug for Giles, a Universal Studios Filmstrip Photo Frame for me and a Universal Logo Sports Backpack for Cole. Then we headed for Studio sweets. We bought everyone's favourite candies in a bag. We met up with the others in front of the Hollywood Rip Ride Rock-it. We headed over to our next ride called Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon. Kate, Kyra and Rebeckah no longer felt nauseous, but I stayed behind with Jenna and Elijah and looked through the gift shop. I bought the selfie Panda for Persephone and a Black New York Tank top for me. The last ride we went on before lunch was called Revenge of the Mummy, and I went on the ride this time as Jenna stayed with Persephone. After the ride, we went to Safara's Traders gift shop. I picked up a mummy-themed necklace for Willow but didn't find anything for myself or Persephone. 

We ate lunch at Mel's Drive-in. Our room group got a chicken fingers combo with fries & Strawberry milkshake (me), the BBQ Brisket Burger Combo with Fries & Chocolate shake (Buffy), a Bacon Cheese Burger Combo with Fries & Strawberry milkshake (Cole) and a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Fries & Vanilla Milkshake (Elijah). Persephone had her usual bottle of formula before her nap. While Persephone was asleep in the stroller, we continued to shop. We headed for San Fransico Candy Factory. We bought Minon Mixed Fruit Flavoured Candies (Willow), Jurassic World Gummy Dinosaurs, Jurassic Park Fossil Dionsuars Egg Candies (me), Hello Kitty Strawberry Marshmallows (Buffy), more known brand candies (Cole), and four large pink donuts (ourselves/Willow). After the candy factory, we headed back into Diagon Alley for the stores we didn't explore last time. The first stop we made was to the Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment. Our group bought two butterbeer mugs and two Hogwarts Hats & Scarfs for Willow and me. I also got a Ravenclaw crest keychain (me) and Hogwarts 9 3/4 keychain (Willow). Elijah got Giles a Ministry Mug. Then we headed for the enjoining store called Scribbulus. We bought two Ravenclaw luggage tags for Willow and me, a Hogwarts stamper, head & Wax for Willow, a Ravenclaw notepad (Elijah), an 'E' Stamper, metalhead & wax (Elijah), a Ravenclaw stamper, head & the candle wax, and a Hogwarts photo album (me). Cole got a Deathly Hallows head, stamper & candle wax and Buffy got another harry potter journal. After shopping there, we headed for Sugarplum's Sweet Shop. We bought six chocolate frogs, six Bertie Botts Beans Tins, and six exploding bonbons. One for each of our room group's bags. Our last stop in Diagon Alley was at the Quality Quidditch Supplies store. We bought two Ravenclaw striped sleeve T-shirts (Willow/me), a Gryffindor striped sleeve T-shirt (Buffy), and a Hogwarts Quidditch Shirt (Cole). 

After shopping in Diagon Alley, we headed for the ice cream place, that we went to on our first day in the parks. When we were finished eating our ice cream, we headed for Men in Black: Alien Attack. Jenna and Finn stayed back with a sleeping Persephone as we went on the ride. After the ride, we shopped in their gift shop. We bought a Men in Black: Alien Attack Pug (me), a Superman Cup with Straw (me) and a Batman Cup with Straw (Buffy). Cole bought a couple of comic books for himself. Before we headed for our next ride. Everyone except me, Kate, Kyra, Rebekah, and Elijah went on the ride. I had taken Persephone to get changed before we headed to our next closest shop. We walked into the store called Kwirk-E-Mart. We bought two Lisa stuffies (Willow/me) and a 'There's no such thing as a bad donut' T-shirt (Cole). We left the store, and we had some fun at the Simpson carnival games before I fed Persephone her bottle. After feeding Persephone, we headed to our next ride called E.T adventure. Cole and Jenna stayed behind with Persephone as we went onto the ride. When the ride was finished, we did a little shopping in its gift shop. We bought a PhoneHome E.T Hoodie (me) and an E.T Stuffie (Persephone). We also took turns getting our pictures taken with the two E.T scenes. We bought the photos before leaving and headed to our last ride before we finished our shopping. After the ride, we shopped in their gift shop. Cole bought a couple of Transformer T-shirts before we continued shopping. We headed to Betty Boop, then Hello Kitty, Rosie's Irish Shop and finally Spongebob storepants. After shopping, we headed back to Simpson Land and bought our dinner there and had headed back to the cars. We ate our dinner at the hotel before doing what we would normally do after a day at the parks. Persephone was bathed, fed and laid down for bed. The boys and Buffy watched one of the Jurassic Park/World movies, and I did some more writing on my next book. We went to bed.

Today...  It's a new day, and we are off to the Islands of Adventure. Our last day at the Universal Parks. Tomorrow is check-out day here before heading off to our new theme park. A*

I closed my journal as I saw the time. It was time for me to get ready. I got up with my journal and walked into the bedroom. Cole was getting Persephone changed and dressed.

"Look, Persephone, there's mama," Cole said as he picked Persephone up and turned her towards me.

"Morning," I whispered as I put my journal in my carry-on before grabbing today's clothes bag.

"I'm going to feed her," Cole said as he got up with her in his arms.

"Okay," I responded as I kissed his cheek as he walked out of the room with her.

I headed to the bathroom.

When I walked into the bathroom, I laid out what I would be wearing for the day before getting out of my housecoat. I put on my jeans & belt, button-up top and vest before pulling my boots on and tying them up. After that, I put on my dinosaur claw ring and my t-rex necklace before doing my hair and brushing my teeth. I grabbed my housecoat and my Jurassic Park bag before heading out of the bathroom to the bedroom. When I walked into the bedroom, Elijah was up and dressed.

"Morning, darling," Elijah said as he turned around.

"Morning," I replied as I put my housecoat into my luggage.

"How did you sleep?" Elijah asked.

"Good, how was Persephone in the middle night?" I asked as I placed what I needed for the park into my bag.

"She only woke twice for a feeding," Elijah answered as he kissed my cheek.

"That's good," I returned as we headed out of the bedroom.

We walked into the living room to see Cole finishing feeding Persephone.

"Is Buffy out yet?" I questioned.

"Yeah," Cole said as he wiped Persephone's face with a washcloth. "She's just brushing her teeth."

"Last day in the parks before our next stop," I voiced.

"Yeah, but I think Persephone might like the animals," Elijah said as he took Persephone from Cole and put her into the stroller before doing up the straps.

"Ready to go," Buffy said as she came out of the bathroom.

"Yes, let's go," I replied as Cole set the packed diaper bag into the stroller.

We headed out of the suite and towards the elevator.

Five minutes later, we were downstairs and met up with the others before heading for the cars. We packed up the stroller and diaper bag into the cars before getting in and heading off. We were off to Islands of Adventures. Ten minutes later, we were at the city walk garage, and we headed off to the bag-check. Thirty minutes later, we were finally in City Walk and were heading for Islands of Adventure. When we got there, we headed for Cinnabon for breakfast.

"Good morning. What can I get for you all today?" a worker asked.

"We would like a Classic Roll, a CinnaSweeties, two sausage bites," Elijah ordered. "And for drinks?"

"Hot tea with three milk and two sugar," I ordered.

"Coffee with creme and sugar," Buffy ordered.

"Hot tea with milk," Elijah ordered.

"Hot chocolate with milk," Cole ordered.

The worker re-said our order before Elijah paid. A little while later, we got our food and drinks. We were off on our way as we ate and drank our orders.

Thirty minutes later, the park was officially open, and we headed for Cat in the Hat. We placed our stroller into stroller parking before heading into line. A little while later, we were on the ride and into the world of the Cat in the Hat.

After the ride, we looked around the Cats, Hats and Things store. Elijah went to get the stroller as I looked around with Persephone in my arms. I found a mother of All things t-shirt and looked for size as Persephone's hands reached out to grab the shirt in front of her.

"You want mama to get it?" I asked as I found my size. 

Elijah came over with the stroller as I detached Persephone's hands from the first shirt.

"Here, let me take her," Elijah said as he took Persephone from me and laid her into the stroller before doing up the straps.

I grabbed my size and found an aunt of all Things t-shirt for Willow in her size. I headed off with Elijah followed me to the front as I saw something that caught my eye. I looked at the Cat in the Hat and Things Stuffies. I picked up the Cat in Hat and Thing 1 Stuffies before looking at them.

"For Persephone?" Elijah questioned.

"Yeah, more stuffies for Persephone," I responded.

"We'll need a bigger toy chest," Elijah returned.

"I know," I voiced as I picked up a Dr. Seuss book that I knew Persephone didn't have.

But I didn't see anymore that I needed as I already had Cat in the Hat at home. 

"Here, I figure you might like this," Cole said as he came over with a Things Photo Frame, a kids/toddlers food plate and a Cat in the Hat bath toys.

"Thank you," I replied.

"Is everyone done?" Buffy asked. 

I noticed she had the same t-shirt that I picked up for Willow.

"Yes," I responded.

We headed to pay for our things before heading to what we were doing next.

After shopping in Cat, Hats and Things, we headed for Caro-Suess-el. Finn didn't want to go on the ride, so he stayed with the stroller as we took Persephone and got in line. When it was our turn to get on the ride. I got onto a Suess character, and Elijah put her in front of me with the strap around us. Persephone grabbed out and held onto the pole as I wrapped my arms around her to keep her steady. The ride came on, and we went up and down as the ride went in a circle. Ten minutes later, we were off the ride, and Persephone was in Cole's arms as we headed for our next ride.

Our next ride was called One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. Kate made Finn come on the ride as we placed the stroller in stroller parking before getting into line. A little while later, Elijah, Persephone and I got into a red fish, while Cole and Buffy got into a blue fish. Before the ride started, I made sure Persephone sunglasses were on her eyes.

"Are you having fun?" Elijah asked me as the ride began.

"Yeah, I am. We're making memories," I said with a sigh. "I just wish Angel was here from them."

"We'll find a way to bring him back," Elijah said.

"I know," I replied as I made the fish go up and down as the ride went around.

It wasn't before long we were off of the ride. After Persephone was back in the stroller, we went searching for Suess Characters to take pictures with before lunch.

Time Skip

It was lunchtime. We were heading for Circus McGurkus Cafe Stoo-pendous. We had mobile ordered our food before we got there and headed to pick it up. After we picked our orders up, we headed for tables where we could all sit and eat together.

"Hey, Aurora, what did you get?" Kyra asked.

"I got the Fried Chicken Combo with a fruit punch Powerade, you?" I responded.

"I got the chicken sandwich combo with a fruit punch Powerade," Kyra answered.

"So, what are we doing after this?" Rebekah asked as I took a bite of my fried chicken.

"Mm, I think so more shopping in Suess landing before heading to the next land," I answered.

"After that, there are two shops in next landing before we head off to the Jurassic area," Jenna answered.

I warmed up Persephone's bottle before handing it over to Cole as he had his hand stretched out for it. I handed it over to him before he started to feed Persephone as we continued to eat. Thirty minutes later, we were done eating and were off to washrooms to change Persephone before putting her down for a nap. Ten minutes later, Persephone was down to sleep, and we were heading to All the Books You Can Read.

When we got to the store, we separated from the group and looked around. Elijah stayed with me as Cole and Buffy went to look around. We headed for the book section.

"What Dr. Suess books does Persephone don't have?" Elijah asked as he pushed the stroller.

"The only one that comes to mind that she doesn't have so far is Horton Hears a Who," I answered as I picked up the book with the title. "Next time, we go shopping. We should have a list of what books she doesn't have."

"That's a great idea," Elijah returned.

"Hey, Aurora, look at this," Buffy said as she came over with a shirt. "Do you think Willow would like this?"

The shirt said, 'W' Whoville Champions.

"I think she would," I responded.

"Well, that's it for our shopping here," Cole said as he came back empty-handed.

"We'll go pay for this," Elijah said as he handed over the stroller and took the book from my hand.

Buffy and I headed out of the store with the stroller and saw Sam I am and Grinch taking pictures.

"Hey, why don't we go get in line?" Buffy questioned.

"But Persephone's asleep," I responded.

"She sleeps through anything," Buffy returned.

"True," I replied as we headed into line.

It wasn't ten minutes later we got our pictures taken with them before the others came out of the store.

"That was fun," Buffy said as I placed the sleeping Persephone back into the stroller and did up the straps.

"Yeah," I replied as we walked over to the others.

"Have fun?" Kate asked.

"Yeah," I answered before asking. "Where to next?"

"Mulberry Street Store," Finn responded as Cole took the stroller this time.

We headed over to the next store.

When we got to the store, I found another book that I know Persephone's library didn't have. I picked it up before heading to the cashier desk. 

"Aurora, where are you going?" Buffy asked.

"I found something for Persephone," I answered. "I'm going to pay for it."

"What about you and Willow?" Buffy asked.

"I know I won't find something for us," I responded.

"I'll join you if you don't mind paying for my nightshirt," Buffy returned.

"I don't mind," I replied as we continued on our way to the cashier desk.

When we got to the cashier desk, Buffy and I laid what we had chosen to get on the counter. The cashier rang it up and told us the amount, and I paid for it before we headed out of the store. Twenty minutes later, the others joined us with their bags.

"What are we doing now?" Rebekah asked.

"Why don't we get something sweet to eat?" I questioned. 

"Yeah, I'm in craving ice cream," Kate responded.

"Me too," Kyra and I voiced.

"The Hop on Pop Ice Cream Shop is the place to go, then," Jenna replied.

We headed for the ice cream shop in Suess landing.

When we got to the ice cream place, we got into line as we read the menu. 

"Mm, what are you going to get?" Elijah asked.

"The Root Beer Float is what I'm craving," I answered.

"I think I'm going to get the Sundae on a stick with hot fudge," Buffy said. 

"What about you, Cole?" Elijah questioned as Cole checked on Persephone.

"I think I'm just gonna get the Waffle cone with Cookies and Creme ice cream," Cole answered. "What about you?"

"I'm going to get the Waffle cone as well but with Strawberry ice cream," Elijah voiced as we got to the front of the line.

"What can I get for you all?" The worker asked.

"One Rootbeer float, one sundae on a stick with hot fudge, one waffle cone with cookies and creme and one waffle cone with strawberry ice cream," Elijah ordered.

The worker told us the amount, and Elijah paid before we were given our ice cream/drink. We left the Hop on Pop Ice Cream Shop with the stroller before heading out of Suess-Landing towards the Jurassic land area.

Twenty minutes later, we were in the Jurassic Area and were heading for the Dino Store. I saw a Jurassic World shirt that I might like. I headed over to the shirts and looked for my size before finding it.

"Ah-ha, I found you," I muttered as I found my size in the shirt before looking for Willow's size in another style of the shirt.

"Did you find something?" Cole asked as he came over with the stroller.

"A shirt for me and a shirt for Willow," I responded as I held them up.

"Good choices," Cole returned as Elijah came over with a Jurassic world notebook in his hand.

"Are we done?" Elijah asked as Buffy came over with a Free the dinosaurs Tank top.

"Yeah, I am," Buffy said.

"Yeah, there isn't much for Persephone here," I replied.

"Let's go pay," Cole said as we headed for the cashier desk.

Ten minutes later, our items were paid for, and we were heading for our first ride of the afternoon. Klaus said he would stay behind with Persephone and the stroller. We got into the ride line. An hour later, we were in front of the line and waiting to get on the ride. It wasn't much later that ride vehicle came, and we got on. We were off into the world of Jurassic.

After the ride, we met up with Klaus and Persephone as she drank a bottle of formula.

"Hey, when did she get up?" I asked.

"Not long after you got into line," Klaus answered. "I got hot water and warmed up her bottle."

"Sorry, you had to do that," I voiced.

"It's okay. It gave me some, one and one time with her, Rory," Klaus returned as he burped her before laying back into the stroller and doing up the straps.

"Where to next?" Rebekah asked.

"Why don't we go to the raptor encounter?" Kol questioned.

We headed over to the raptor encounter and got into the line. Thirty minutes later, we had our pictures taken with Blue from Jurassic World before we headed to Jurassic Outfitters.

When we got to Jurassic Outfitters, Cole, Persphone, and I split from the group. We headed off to find something we would like. Thirty minutes later, we had found a Jurassic World Blue Shirt (me), a black Jurassic Park T-shirt and a Jurassic World Tumblr (Cole).

"All done?" Elijah asked as he came over with a Jurassic Park chess set.

"We are. What about Buffy?" Cole asked.

"I couldn't find anything I liked this time," Buffy answered as she came back empty-handed.

"We'll go pay for these. Why don't you two take Persephone and go outside?" Elijah said as Cole handed the stroller over to me and took what was in my hands.

"Okay, then," I voiced as Kate, Andy, Kyra, and Leo joined us as we headed out of the store.

Ten minutes later, the rest of our group joined us as we headed for the Skull Island area.

When we got to the skull Island entrance, Elijah had decided to stay off the ride this time and stay with Persephone as the rest of us went on the ride. I kissed Elijah's cheek before we got into line. An hour later, we were at the front of the line and were waiting to get on. Moments later, the vehicle arrived, and we got on before putting on our 3d glasses. We were off to Skull Island.

After the ride, we met up with Elijah and Persephone before heading to the Marvel section of the park. We shopped at Comic Book Shop and got a couple of Guardians of Galaxy Graphic Novels for Cole, a Captain Marvel Graphic Novel and a Black Widow Graphic Novel for me. After Comic Book Shop, we headed for some marvel characters that was had seen. We took some pictures with them before heading to Storm Force Acceleration. Elijah, Cole, Kate, Kyra, Rebekah and I stayed back as the others went on because we were feeling nauseous. This is becoming weird. Rebekah can't get sick because she's a vampire. Kate, Kyra and I haven't eaten something that would upset us. But this is the second day in a row that we've been nauseous. After the ride, the others joined us, and we headed to our last land. 

We headed into Port of Entry before heading into the All year Christmas Shoppe. I knew that I wanted to get a personalized Baby's First Christmas Ornament for Persephone, and Jeremy wanted to see if they had any Earl the Squirrel Merch.  I headed over to the Personalized station with Elijah as Cole went to look around with Persephone.

"Hello," the worker said. "What can we do for you?" 

"How long would a personalized ornament take?" Elijah asked.

"That would be depending on what's on it?" the worker answered.

"Baby's 1st Christmas," I voiced.

"That would take about thirty minutes," the worker returned.

"That's perfect," Elijah responded.

"What's the name of the baby?" the worker questioned.

"Persephone," I replied.

"Okay," the worker said. "See you in thirty minutes." 

Thirty minutes later, the ornament was done, packaged and paid for by Elijah before slipping it into my bag. We headed for our next shop. We walked in bought what we didn't get at other stores. Some of us didn't get the Pink Donuts, and I also bought Peperiment Toads for Willow and me. After the Island Market & Export Candy Store, we headed for Island of Adventure Trading Company. 

When we walked into the store, we separated and headed off in different directions. After a while, we bought fandom chocolate bars and a Max Plush for Willow before heading to DeFoto's Expedition Photography. Elijah, Klaus and Jenna walked into the store and bought the photos that were had taken at the rides and photographers in the park.

"So, what's the plan after this?" Andy asked.

"Well, we buy dinner take it up to our rooms and pack before tomorrow morning," I voiced.

"Yeah, we are off to a new hotel and a different theme park," Kate said as Elijah, Klaus, and Jenna walked back out.

"Where are we buying dinner?" Jeremy questioned.

"Moe's Southwest Grill," Klaus said. "We'll take it to go."

We headed over to the restaurant. We ordered our dinner and took it to-go before heading back to the cars.

When we got to the cars, we unlocked the SUV. Elijah opened the trunk and Persephone's side door before placing Persephone back into her car seat. I did up the straps before closing the door and handing the stroller off to Cole. Cole took the diaper bag and put it into the trunk before doing the same with the stroller. Buffy and I got into our seats and closed the door before Elijah and Cole got in with our food and drinks.

"Back to the hotel, we go," Cole said as Elijah started the car.

We were off back to the hotel.

Twenty minutes later, we were back at the resort. We unpacked the car as Cole got Persephone situated in the stroller. I grabbed my bag as Buffy grabbed hers. We headed off to the evaluators before heading to our rooms. When we got to our rooms, Elijah opened the door before Cole rolled the stroller in. Buffy and I followed suit as we laid our bags on the couch.

"I'm going to get into my PJs," I said as I walked out of the room.

"Me too," Buffy replied as she followed suit.

I walked into the bedroom. I got out of my boots before stripping out of my parks clothes. I changed into my Jurassic World PJs before heading out of the bedroom. 

I walked into the living room to see Cole changing Persephone's diaper and Elijah laying the food on the table.

"So, packing tonight for Sea World," I voiced.

"Yeah, I think Persephone might like the animals," Elijah said as he came over and wrapped his arms around me.

"Me too," I voiced.

"What's for dinner for Persephone?" Cole asked.

"Puree chicken and for dessert puree apples," I told him as I got the pureed apples and the pureed chicken ready for Persephone. "Who's feeding her?" 

"I will," Elijah voiced as he took the bowls and the baby spoon from me. 

"Let's eat," Buffy said as she came back into the room.

We all grabbed what we ordered before sitting down and eating as we watched Jurassic World. Elijah finished feeding Persephone the pureed foods and went to bathe her before getting ready for bed. Buffy and I separated all the shopping into their bags before I got up and headed to the bedroom. I unpacked my outfit for tomorrow before I packed up everything that wasn't already packed into the luggage. Elijah came into the room with a clean and dressed Persephone as I packed her stuff up. 

"Everything packed up?" Elijah questioned as he gave Persephone her soother and laid her into the playpen.

"Just mine and Persephone," I voiced as I laid her blanket down on her.

"I'll do mine now," Cole said as he came into the room.

Cole packed up his suitcase as Elijah did his. I packed up the extension bags and my laptop/charge into the carry-on. I placed my cellphone on its charger before looking at the time.

"It's time for bed," I whispered as I got into bed.

"Tomorrow is a long day," Elijah whispered back as he and Cole got ready for bed before joining me.

Elijah shut off the light before we closed our eyes and went to sleep.

Time Skip

It was late morning, and our check-out time was at 11:30. Everything was packed and by the door ready to go as I fed Persephone her baby cereal mixed with formula. Everyone was dressed and ready for our next stop on our vacation. 

"So, after check out, where are we going for brunch?" Buffy asked.

"We are going to City Works Eatery and Pour House for brunch," Cole answered as I wiped Persephone's face clean with a wipe. 

"Are we meeting the others at the cars or in the lobby?" I questioned.

"Down in the lobby," Elijah responded.

"Okay, time to go," Cole said as he grabbed the diaper bag and put it in the stroller compartment.

I grabbed my carry-on, luggage and Persephone's luggage. Buffy grabbed hers as Elijah grabbed his luggage, carry-on bag and Cole's luggage. 

"Let's go," I said as we headed for the door.

We headed out of the room one last time before we headed for the evaluators.

Five minutes later, we were downstairs and met up with the others. Elijah, Klaus and Jenna headed for the check-out desk as we talked about today. 

"So, where are we going for brunch?" Kate asked.

"We're going to a place in Disney Springs," I answered. "Cole called it City Works Eatery and Pour House."

"Wonder what they have for food?" Jeremy questioned.

"Who knows, it might be good," I replied.

"How's Persephone doing on pureed foods?" Kyra asked.

"She's doing good. She likes the pureed Apples and pureed chicken so far, and she's liking her baby cereal," I told her. "I'm hoping to try the new purees soon."

"It's good she's doing so well on puree," Kyra returned.

"Okay, everyone ready to go?" Klaus questioned as they came back over to us.

"Yeah, I think we are," Andy voiced as he and the others got up.

Cole pushed the stroller as we headed outside with our bags.

When we got to the cars, we packed luggage into the trunk first. Cole got Persephone situated in her car seat before handing the stroller off to Elijah. Buffy, Cole and I got into the car as we waited for Elijah to put the stroller into the trunk.

"Next stop, Disney Springs," Cole said as Elijah got in and started the car.

We were off to Disney Springs.

Fifteen minutes later, we were in the garage closest to where we were eating. We got out of the cars before I got Persephone situated in her stroller. I grabbed her diaper bag and situated it in the stroller compartment.

"We have to meet our reservation," Finn said as we started our way out of the garage and into Disney Springs.

Ten minutes later, we were in front of City Works. We walked in and headed to the hostess desk.

"Hello and welcome to City Works Eatery and Pour house. Do you have a reservation?" the woman asked.

"Yes, three tables under Mikaelson," Klaus voiced.

"Yes, of course," The woman replied as she counted how many menus she would need. "This way." She showed us to our tables, and we sat down. "Your server will be with you in a moment." She left us as we studied the menu.

"What looks good?" Elijah asked me.

"I think we should get Donuts Stop Believing to share," I said.

"Yes, that sounds yummy," Buffy voiced.

"What about your main course?" Cole questioned.

"Sweet Child O'Mine with a side of Bacon and sausage links. I'm just going to get water to drink with my food," I answered.

"I'll get the Breakfast in America with water to drink," Cole said.

Buffy and Elijah were still deciding what they wanted as our server came over.

"Hello, my name is Dani, and I will be your server today. What can I get you?" Dani, our server asked.

"We want the Donut Stop Believing to start," Elijah ordered. "One order of Sweet Child O'Mine with a side of bacon and sausage link, a Breakfast in America, a Love Me Two Times and..."

"A Chimi Hendrix," Buffy ordered.

"And what to drink?" Dani asked.

"Two glasses of water and two orange juices," Elijah responded.

"Okay," Dani returned. "Your drinks will be with you shortly." She headed to go put our order in.

Thirty minutes later, our food arrived after our drinks and Donut Stop Believing donuts and dips. 

"So, where are we shopping today?" Kate asked.

"The plan for today is M&M's store, Disney's Candy Cauldron, Super Hero Headquarters, Star Wars Galatic Outpost, DisneyStyle, and Coca-Cola store," Finn voiced.

I took another bite of my food and moaned. An hour later, we were finished eating and were off to our first shopping stop. 

When we got to the M&M's store, we walked in and separated. Elijah stayed with me as Cole and Buffy headed to look around. Elijah followed me with the stroller as I headed over to different coloured cups with straws. I picked up a red one for me and a blue one for Willow. 

"Why don't we design our M&M's?" Elijah asked as he turned and saw the design tablet.

"That's a good idea," I replied as we headed over to the empty tablet.

Elijah and I designed our M&M's before designing Willow's. After that, we headed over to the desk with our slips.

"Hello, welcome to M&M's. Can I have your slips?" the man asked.

Elijah and I handed him three slips.

"For the first slip, what colours would you like?" the man questioned.

"Colour blast," Elijah answered.

"For second slip, mickey colours," I told him.

"And third, will be Rainbow Mix," Elijah said.

"Okay," the man said as he got the first one done.

Ten minutes later, he was done and handed us the receipt and candies in the bag.

"Just show this receipt at the cashier desk," the man said.

"Thank you," I replied as we headed off to continue our shopping.

"Let's go, find the others and pay," Elijah said as Cole and Buffy came over with their bags.

"Ready to pay," Buffy said.

"Yes, we are," I replied as we headed to the cashier and paid for our things.

We headed out of the store.

When we got outside, we waited for the others.

"Why are we waiting for them?" Buffy questioned.

"Yeah, as long we have a meeting spot for after we're doing shopping," I voiced.

"How about this. Why don't I text Jenna and Klaus, say we're going onto the next store we'll see them there?" Cole said.

"Okay," Buffy and I responded as Cole and Elijah texted Jenna and Klaus before heading to our next store.

We stopped in front of the store and turned to each other.

"It's a small store. So Elijah and I will go in, so what do you want?" I voiced.

"Anything chocolate," Buffy said.

"Anything," Cole told us as he took the stroller from Elijah.

Elijah grabbed my hand before we headed into the store. We walked over to the far wall and picked up what we wanted before going to the other wall for Elijah to pick what he wanted.

"Ready?" Elijah said.

"Yeah, let's go pay," I replied as we headed up to the cashier desk. 

When we got to the cashier desk, we paid for what we had and bought a little snack for ourselves, Buffy and Cole. We headed outside to the others. I handed Buffy a Mickey Cupcake.

"What is this for?" Buffy asked.

"I thought you might be a bit hungry," I said as Elijah gave Cole his treat.

I took a bite of my cupcake and moaned in delight.

"This is really good," I muttered.

"I agree," Elijah said as the others joined us.

"Hey, Rory," Jenna said as they came over to us.

"Hey, just want to let you know. You might only want to send two from each of your groups. The store is small," I told them.

"Okay," Leo responded as I took another bite.

We watched as Klaus, Kyra, Jeremy, and Rebekah walked in with their orders. 

"What's the next store?" Kate asked.

"I believe it's Super Hero Headquarters," I voiced.

"Well, I can't wait to see what we can find there," Andy responded.

"Me too," Leo returned as Kyra, Klaus, Jeremy, and Rebekah came out with their bags and their treats to eat.

Kyra gave Kate and Finn a cupcake as Klaus gave Andy and Leo a Candied Mickey Apple. Jeremy gave Jenna a Mickey Cupcake.

"Let's head to our next location," Kate said before she took a bite of her cupcake.

We started on our way to Superhero Headquarters.

When we got there, we headed in. Elijah stayed with Persephone and me as we looked around. I picked up a stuffed Baby Groot for Willow, a Captain Marvel Cup with Straw and Avengers T-shirt for me, and Avengers Tie for Giles. Cole picked up an Avengers Hoodie, and Elijah picked up a First Avenger Mug. 

"What about you?" I asked Buffy.

"I couldn't find anything that I would like," Buffy responded.

"Are you sure?" I questioned.

"I'm sure. Let's go pay," Buffy returned as we headed to the cashier desk.

When we got to the cashier desk, we paid for our things before heading out of the store. After we got outside, Cole texted the others and said we were heading for the next store and that we would see them there. We headed for one of two Stars Stores in Disney Springs. 

When we got to the store, we headed into the store before separating once more. I picked up the Child Ornament & This is my good side magnet for me, an Ewok stuffie & a Toddler Porg for Persephone, and the child Ears & Plush for Willow. Buffy got a Star Wars 4 Pin set. 

"Let's go pay," Cole said as he joined us with Buffy.

"You didn't get anything?" I questioned.

"Didn't find anything I would like," Cole told us.

"Okay, let's go pay," Elijah said as we headed over to the cashier.

We paid and left the store. After we left the store, we stopped as the others came over to us.

"Hey, how's shopping?" Rebekah asked.

"It's good. I found something for myself, Willow and Persephone," I answered.

"I got a star wars pin set," Buffy said.

"Well, we'll see you guys at the store," Kyra replied as they headed into the store.

Our group headed for our next store.

When we got in front of Disney Style, we walked into the store before separating. I picked up a Lilo & Stich VHS Tape Notebook & Poka Dot Mickey Ears for Willow. I grabbed a Disney Dogs Journal, Disney Rides Loungefly wristlet & Rose Gold Mickey Ears for me and a plack that says, If You Can Dream It. You Can Do it for Giles. Buffy picked up a Black Sequence Mickey Ears. We headed for the cashier desk, paid and left the store as the others joined from the other shop.

"Hey, did you find anything?" Kyra asked.

"I found a journal, a Disney Rides Loungefly Wristlet and rose gold Mickey ears for me. I got Willow a notebook and Poka Dot Mickey Ears," I answered.

"I picked up Giles a plack that says If You Can Cream it. You Can Do it," Cole told her.

"If we get the Coca-cola store done before you. We'll meet you guys at Everglazed," I voiced.

"Okay," Jenna said as they headed in.

We headed off to the Coca-Cola store.

When we got to the store, we headed into the store but didn't separate this time. We picked up a Coca Cola Mug & Journal for someone, a Polar Bear USB Power Drive & Coca Cola Vanilla Lip Balm for me, a Coca Cola Lip Balm & Polar Bear USB Flash Drive for Willow and a Polar Bear Plush for Persephone. Cole picked up a Coca Cola Hoodie, and Buffy picked up a Coca Cola Lip Balm & a Coca Cola Journal. We bought what we came for and headed out of the store.

"So off to Everglazed," Buffy said.

"Yeah," I replied as we started our way back towards Everglazed before stopping for a moment as Kate and the others were coming this way.

"Hey, all done?" Rebekah asked.

"Yeah, just finished," Cole said.

"We'll meet you at Everglazed, then," Kate said.

"Okay, bye," I returned as we continued on our way to Everglazed.

We walked into Everglazed and looked around before heading to the counter.

"Welcome to Everglazed. What can I get for you today?" the worker asked.

"Yes, can we get a Grilled Cheese, fries, a donut burger with loaded fries, a Peanut Butter Topper, a donut Shop Special, a cloud 9 Carmel Topper..." Elijah ordered. "A Super Chocolate topper and a half dozen donuts." 

"What donuts would you like?" the worker asked.

"A cookies & Creme, a S'more Galor, a Nutella Boston Creme, A Peanut Butter Explosion, a Maple Double Bacon and a Brooklyn Blackout," I ordered.

"Okay," The worker said before telling us the amount.

Elijah paid before we waited for our food, drinks and treats. A little while later, we headed outside with the stroller and our order before heading to the seating outside. 

When we got to the seating area, we sat down at a clean table. Cole got our early dinner of the bag. I took a sip of my Reese Nitro. 

"Mm, that's peanut butter goodness," I muttered before taking a bit of my sweet but savoury Grilled cheese.

"How are you hungry?" Buffy asked. "I mean, we have food reservations at the next hotel."

"I just am, I don't know," I voiced before taking another bite.

Twenty minutes later, the others joined us as I fed Persephone her bottle. Kate, Kyra and Rebekah had joined me as they ate their early dinner as well. They have must be very hungry. After Persephone was done with her bottle, we headed back to the cars. I laid Persephone down on my seat and changed her diaper before sanitizing my hands and giving her soother before laying her down into her car seat. I laid her blanket down on her before getting out and stretching. I let Buffy in before getting back into the car. I took a sip of my Nitro drink as Cole and Elijah got into the car. We were off to our next hotel.

Chapter Text

Twenty minutes later, we were at the next hotel of our vacation. I quietly got Persephone out of her car seat into the stroller before doing up the straps. Elijah and Cole grabbed our bags out of the trunk before handing them over to us. I took Persephone diaper bag, my carry-on bag and my luggage.

"Okay. Our dinner reservations are at 6:30. So we have a bit of time to explore the hotel, your rooms and the pool," Elijah told them.

"Wait, what are room assignments?" Kate asked.

"First room assignment is Aurora, Persephone, Cole, Buffy and Myself," Eliah said.

"Second Room Assignment is Rebekah, Jeremy, Kol and Jenna," Klaus said.

"Third Room Assignment is Klaus, Kyra, andAndy," Finn voiced.

"And Finally, the last Room assignment is Finn, Kate and Leo," Jenna told them.

"Elijah, did you get the..." I started to ask.

"Yes, I got either the pack in play or the roll-away crib," Elijah said.

We headed into the hotel and sat down as we waited for Elijah, Jenna, Finn and Klaus to come back with the room keys. Ten minutes later, they came back with the room keys and handed them out.

"Let's go explore our hotel rooms," Elijah said as we headed for the evaluators.

A little while later, we were at the door of our hotel room. Elijah unlocked the door before opening it. I rolled the stroller into the room with my luggage. 

"Looks like we'll have to be quiet when we put Persephone down for bed," Buffy whispered as we saw the two queen size beds and the roll-away crib in the corner.

"Looks like it," I whispered back.

I laid my luggage on the bed before walking over and getting the crib ready for Persephone. After it was ready, I laid Persephone into the crib and turned to the others.

"You guys, go explore the hotel. I'll stay with Persephone while she finishes her nap," I told them.

"I'll stay with you," Elijah said as he came over.

"Are you sure?" Cole asked.

"Go have fun," I voiced as I got my laptop out and got to writing my next chapter.

Buffy and Cole headed out of the room before softly closing the door. Elijah pulled out his laptop got to work for his historical business.

Time Skip

Persephone was up, diaper changed and was fed her dinner. Now, it was time for us to get dinner. Elijah got Persephone situated in her stroller before her diaper bag and placed it into the stroller compartment. Elijah and I walked out of the room with the stroller before heading to find the others. We met up with the others in the lobby before heading to our dinner reservation.

"Hey, did you have fun?" I asked them.

"We went swimming," Kate said.

"I just looked around," Buffy voiced.

We walked up to the hostess table. 

"Hello, welcome to Tradewinds Restaurant. Do you have a reservation?" the woman asked as she looked up.

"Yes, three tables under Mikaelson," Finn answered.

The woman showed us to our tables before we sat down. 

"Your servers will be with you," the woman told us before leaving.

We opened our menus before looking for what we wanted.

"What looks good?" Leo questioned.

"The Tanglewood Farms Chicken breast," I answered.

"The grilled Ribeye," Kyra voiced.

"The double-cut pork chop," Kate stated.

"Good evening, I'm Daniel, and I will be your server today. What can I get for you?" Our server Daniel asked.

"I would like The Tanglewood Farms Chicken Breast," I ordered. 

"What would like to drink?" Daniel asked.

"Just water," I answered.

The rest of our group ordered before Daniel left to put our order in. 

"When does Sea World open at?" Andy asked.

"10 am," Klaus answered.

Our drinks came as we continued to talk about tomorrow. A little while later, our food arrived, and we began eating. God, I feel like a pig. This past week, I've had cravings, nausea and I think my period is late. God, I really hope I'm not pregnant again. I mean, even if I was pregnant, I would love the baby anyway. I shook my head at that thought as I continued to eat my chicken breast. An hour and a half later, we were done eating and were heading back to our rooms. 

When we got to the rooms, I bathed Persephone before putting her into a clean diaper and sleeper. Cole took her from me as I heated the formula up. Buffy had jumped into the shower after I had bathed Persephone.

"Here," I said as I handed the warmed bottle over to Cole. 

"Thank you," Cole replied as I got my PJs out of my luggage and headed for the bathroom.

Buffy was getting out of the shower as I came into the bathroom.

"Having a shower as well?" Buffy asked as I laid my Pjs down on the counter.

"Yeah," I answered as she got dressed.

"So, what are we supposed to do when Persephone's sleeping before we go to bed?" Buffy questioned.

"Watch or Read whatever on our laptops, I guess," I responded as I undressed, took my hair out of the ponytail, and took off my jewelry.

"Well, see you when your done," Buffy said as she headed out of the bathroom.

I got into the hot shower before washing my hair and body. Ten minutes later, I was out of the shower before changing into my PJs and putting my ring and protection necklace back on. I brushed and blow-dried my hair before bundling up my dirty clothes and grabbing my shoes before heading out of the bathroom.

When I got out of the bathroom, Persephone was in the crib, her noise machine was on, and lights were turned off. I put my dirty clothes into the laundry bag before grabbing today's shopping bags and got everything we bought out. I placed my items into my extension bag before repeating the process with Persephone's and Willow's extension bags. Elijah, Buffy and Cole followed suit with their thing items. I pulled out my Peanut Butter Explosion and took a bite of it as Buffy grabbed her choice donut. The boys followed suit with their choice. I stuck my donut in my mouth as I placed my phone on its charger before grabbing my laptop and charger out. I opened my work e-mail to see if I got any orders forms for my designs and music. I found out that I had three orders for my art designs and three request forms for my music. I would have to wait and do my music orders in LA. I will have to start planning the art designs now but do them during my time at the hotel. I grabbed my work planner for the art designs out. I opened it to a new page and started planning what the people wanted. One person wanted art design about Disney, another wanted it about broadway and a last but certainly not least wanted it about music. I started to plan what I would like for each of the chosen topics to be. 

"Aurora, it's time for bed," Cole whispered as he got into bed.

"Okay," I whispered back as I closed my work planner and turned off my laptop.

Cole took my work planner and placed it into my carry-on. Elijah grabbed my laptop and charger and put them away before I rolled onto my side and closed my eyes. I assumed Cole and Elijah followed suit, and we went off to sleep.

Time skip

It was morning and our first day at Sea World Orlando. Buffy and I were already up and moving as we had enjoyed the fitness area in the hotel. Now, we had our outfits laid out on the bathroom counter as I took the first shower before Buffy took hers. I got into my underwear and bra before getting into my creme-coloured shorts and orange top. After that, I put on my sandals and did them up before putting on another protection necklace in the place of my trinity protection necklace. I slipped my Claddagh ring on before doing my hair. I brushed my teeth before putting on a bit of lip balm.

"That was a great workout," Buffy said as she got out and dried her body.

"Yeah," I replied as she blowed dried her hair. "It was."

Buffy got dressed in her outfit for the day. Today's outfit consisted of light pink shorts, a blue t-shirt, red high tops, a necklace and flowered earrings. She had a bracelet and her sunglasses as well.

"How did you sleep?" I asked Buffy.

"Surprising well. I'm surprised Persephone didn't wake me up crying," Buffy answered as we headed out of the bathroom with our dirty clothes.

When we walked into the bedroom, Elijah was feeding Persephone her breakfast as Cole got out her outfit for the day. 

"Did you enjoy your workout?" Cole asked.

"Yeah. It was much needed," Buffy replied as she put her dirty laundry into her laundry bag.

"Yeah, I agree," I voiced as I laid my trinity necklace into my jewelry box. "The workout helped with stir-crazy feeling since we haven't slain vampires or demons in a while." I placed my dirty laundry into my laundry bag.

"That's good," Elijah said as he wiped Persephone's face with a cloth before she started crying. "I know. I know you don't like that. It's okay. There we're all done." As he finished washing her face.

"Time to get her ready," I said as I came over and took her out of her stroller. 

I laid her down on the bed before getting her out of her bib and sleeper. After that, I changed her diaper before getting her into her clean onesie and pants. 

"Here, let me do the sandals. Go pack the diaper bag," Cole said as he came over and took the sandals.

I made up her bottles for the park day before putting them into the diaper bag. I grabbed the baby sunscreen from the diaper bag.

"Here, put on her sunscreen," I said as I handed Cole the baby sunscreen.

"Thank you," Cole replied as he took it.

I made sure her hat, soother, sunglasses, a board book and a soft toy were in the bag before Cole handed me the sunscreen bag, and I put it back into the bag. 

"Time to get breakfast," Elijah said. "Everything ready?"

"Yep," I replied as we headed out the door and for the evaluators.

When we got downstairs in the lobby, we met up with the others. Kyra was wearing light pink shorts like Buffy, a purple t-shirt, a flower necklace, earrings & a ring, white flats, her protection necklace and her hair was in a side braid. Kate was wearing blue denim shorts, a floral tank top, a flower headband, black shoes, a silver charm bracelet, her protection necklace, and pink sunglasses. While her hair was braided to the side. Jenna was wearing black tights, a blue tank top, a jean jacket, black high tops, a flower necklace and had turtle tote bag. 

"Ready for breakfast?" Jenna asked.

"Yes, I believe we are," Elijah answered as he rolled the stroller over to Tradewinds Restaurant.

When we got there, we were seated at our tables. A little while later, we started to look through the breakfast menu. I already had my eye on the Orange Souffle pancakes.

"What's got your eye?" Kate asked me.

"The orange Souffle pancakes," I told her.

"That sounds yummy," Kyra voiced.

"Yeah, they do. I'm going to get sausage links with them and a glass of orange juice," I told them before asking. "What are you going to get?"

"The Belgian waffles with bacon and a hot tea," Kate answered.

"Classic Eggs benedict with bacon and orange juice," Kyra responded.

Our waitress came over to our order before leaving once more. It wasn't before long that our drinks were here. Not long after our drinks arrived, our food came, and we began eating. 

A slight time skip...

We were done eating and were on our way to Sea World Orlando.

Less than ten minutes later, we were in Sea World and were heading for our first ride, which just so happened to be near the Dolphin Nursery. We rolled the stroller over to the nursery to see some dolphins at the glass. 

"Do you see Dolphins, Persephone?" I asked as I bent down to Persephone's level as she reached out at the glass in front of her. 

"do...do..." Persephone said.

"Yes, Persephone. Do-dolphins," I replied as I laughed.

"It's time to get in line," Kate said.

"Who's staying with Persephone?" I questioned.

"I am," Elijah said as I got up.

"Okay, we'll see you both after the ride," I replied as I kissed his cheek before heading into the line with the others.

Twenty minutes later, we were in front waiting for our turn on the ride. A little while later, we were locked and loaded on the coaster before the ride started, and we were off on a Manta ride.

After the ride, we met up with Elijah and Persephone. They were in the Manta Aquarium looking at the Manta Rays.

"Hey," I said as Elijah turned with Persephone in his arms.

"Did you have fun?" Elijah asked.

"Yes, I believe we did," Kate answered.

"Where to next?" Andy asked as he looked at the Manta.

"To Stringray Lagoon," Finn responded as Elijah placed Persephone back into the stroller and did up the straps before placing her sunglasses back over her eyes.

We headed out of the Manta Aquarium before heading to the Stringray Lagoon.

A walk later, we were at the stingray lagoon & feeding area. We headed to buy some feed for the stingray. We fed the stingrays as they swam by us. Elijah had Persephone in his arms as he reached down and petted the stingray. Persephone laughed as Elijah got closer to the stingray.

"Persephone, are you laughing at your daddy petting the stingray?" I asked her.

I touched the same stingray as Elijah before sanitizing my hands. I took Persephone from him before Cole handed him the hand sanitizer. 

"Thank you," Elijah said as he took the hand sanitizer and sanitized his hands.

"Did you take the photo's Kate?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I did. The photos are perfect for the album," Kate answered.

"I can't wait for Persephone to be old enough to do this with us," I voiced.

"Me too," Kyra returned. "I mean, she can enjoy more of the rides when she's older."

"Elijah, where are we going next?" I asked.

"We are going to the Dolphin encounter," Elijah answered as our group came over to us.

We headed out of the Stingray lagoon and towards the dolphin area.

We headed to the underwater view area instead of the above-ground viewing area. Persephone was still in my arms as she reached out towards the glass as the dolphins swam by us. She laughed as the dolphins stared at her.

"Persephone, are you laughing at the dolphins?" I asked as I laughed with her. "What do you think we should get you a dolphin stuffie?" 

"I think we should. Persephone showed an interest in the dolphins so far," Cole said as he came over to us. "She didn't laugh at the stingrays."

"Maybe she likes certain animals," Elijah replied as he walked over from a sign.

"Elijah, can we get a picture with you, Persephone, Cole and Aurora with the Dolphins?" Kate asked as she had her camera out.

"Of course," Elijah responded as we got ready for the picture.

"On three, Say Dolphins," Kate said. "One... Two... Three..."

"Dolphins," Elijah, Cole and I stated as Kate took the picture.

"That was a good one," Kate said as she saw the picture.

Cole took Persephone from me before laying her into the stroller. I headed over to Kate to see the picture.

"Your right. That is a good picture," I told Kate. "Have you ever thought making a business of taking pictures?"

"That might be a great idea," Kate said. "I'll think about it."

We continued through the underwater viewing area and looked at the signs before realizing it was lunchtime.

"Guys, where are we eating lunch today?" Rebekah asked.

"Captain Pete's Island Hot dogs," Finn answered.

We headed out of the viewing area and towards our lunch location. 

Where we were eating wasn't far from the stingray lagoon. We paused and looked at Captain Pete's Island Hot Dogs Menu. 

"Is everyone ready to order?" Elijah asked our group.

"I am," I answered.

"Me too," Cole responded.

"Me three," Buffy returned.

"Let's order," Elijah said as we headed up to the order window.

"Hello and welcome to Captain Pete's Island Hot Dogs. What can I get for you all?" a worker asked.

"Aurora, why don't you go first?" Elijah suggested.

"I'll have the Pete's Chicken Tender Platter with a sprite," I ordered.

"Okay," the worker said as he typed my order in.

"I'll have the Pete's Famous Totchos with a coke," Cole ordered.

"I'll have the Pete's Foot Long Hot dog with just cheese and a Fanta," Buffy ordered.

"I'll have Pete's Famous Tochos with a water bottle," Elijah ordered.

The worker told us the total amount of our order. Elijah paid as the workers got out food ready. A little while later, we got our food and headed off to a place to eat. 

We found a place to eat and sat down in the Dolphin Theater. I heated Persephone's bottle before feeding her. I ate my lunch as I fed her. After I fed her, Elijah took her to burp her.

"Where is the nearest changing table?" Elijah asked.

"It's near Empire of the Penguins I believe," Jenna answered.

"I'll go change her," Elijah said as he got up with Persephone in his arms.

He headed out of the theatre with Persephone, the diaper bag and the stroller. We all finished what we were eating before heading to the baby center.

When we got to the baby center, Elijah was coming out with a sleeping Persephone in the stroller.

"How did you get Persephone to go to sleep?" I asked him.

"It wasn't hard," Elijah said as he came over to us with the stroller." I sang her a song from my childhood." 

"Where are we going?" Klaus asked.

"Build-A-Bear Workshop, first," Kyra answered.

"Okay, off to Build-A-Bear," Klaus returned as we headed over to where we saw Build-A-Bear.

When we got there, we built three penguins, two bears, one shark and one Elmo with clothes and accessories all designed all Sea World. After that, we paid and headed out to our next store. 

"What's our next store?" Kate asked.

"Coconut Bay Traders," Finn answered as we started our walk over to the next store.

It didn't take long to find Coconut Bay Traders, and we headed inside to look around. I found Persephone a Dolphin stuffie before finding a dolphin bracelet for Willow.  

"Did you find something?" Elijah asked.

"Yeah, a dolphin stuffie for Persephone and a dolphin bracelet for Willow," I told him.

"Nothing for yourself?" Elijah questioned.

"Nope, I personally like penguins better," I responded.

"Did you two find anything?" Elijah asked as Buffy and Cole came over.

"Nothing, we wanted," Buffy answered.

"Okay, then. Let's go pay," I voiced as we headed over to the cashier desk with the stroller.

Elijah paid for the dolphin bracelet and stuffie before we headed out of the store. We waited for the others to come out with their things.

"Where are we going next?" I asked Elijah.

"For a snack, I thought we would try Edy's Ice cream Parlour," Elijah told me.

"That sounds good," Rebekah said as she and the others came out of the store. "I have a craving for ice cream."

"Me too," I replied.

"Me three," Kate voiced.

"Me four," Kyra stated.

"Before anyone says me five. Let's go get ice cream," Jenna said as we started on our way to the ice cream parlour.

When we got to the ice cream parlour, we headed into Edy's before looking at the menu. I already found what I wanted to eat as I turned to the others.

"Do you have something in mind?" I asked Buffy.

"I think I do," Buffy answered.

"Me too," Cole replied.

"Then, let's go order," Elijah said as we got in line.

It wasn't before long we were in front and ready to order.

"Hello and welcome to Edy's Ice Cream Parlour. What can I get for you all?" the worker asked.

"I would like the brownie sundae," I ordered.

"I would like the Mint Chocolate Chip Sundae," Buffy ordered.

"I would the Dulce Le Leche Shake," Cole ordered.

"I would like two scoops of Vanilla ice cream in a cone," Elijah ordered.

"Will that be all?" the worker asked.

"Yes, I believe that is it," Elijah answered.

The worker told us the amount, and Elijah paid for our treats before they were put together. A little while later, our treats were ready. We headed out with them. Elijah pushed the stroller with one hand and had his ice cream in the other. 

"Mm, this is good," I said as I took a bite of my sundae. "I love the brownie."

"Hey, we got the same sundae," Kyra said as she came over with the same sundae I got.

"Yeah, we did. It's very delicious," I told Kyra as we headed for a spot to sit and eat our ice cream treats.

We found a spot and sat down near our next ride.

"So, are we going on the Turtle trek next?" Kate asked.

"Yes, that's the plan," Jenna responded.

"Then to Trek Treasures," I voiced. "The gift shop for Turtle trek."

"After that to Manatee Rehabilitation area," Klaus said.

"Then to Journey to Atlantis and its aquarium," Finn told us.

"And finally, Golden Seahorse Gifts," Elijah said.

We continued to eat our ice cream before it fully melted. After we were finished, we headed for the Turtle trek and walked into the attraction.

After we were done with the attraction, we headed for the gift shop. I found a sea turtle stuffie for Persephone and a turtle necklace for Willow before heading up to the cashier with the stroller and items in hand.

"Is that all?" the worker asked as I laid my items down on the counter.

"Yes," I answered.

The worker told me the amount before I paid for the stuffie and necklace. After I paid for the items, I headed out the door with the bag and the stroller and headed to the nearest bench to sit down. I looked over at Persephone to see that she was awake.

"Good afternoon, Miss. Persephone. Did you have a good nap?" I asked as I took her soother and placed it into its container before I put the container back into the diaper bag. "Did see the turtles?" She smiled as I got the sea turtle out of the bag and showed her.

She laughed and squealed as she saw the stuffie in my hands. 

"This is yours for later," I told her before placing it back into the bag. "Come on, let's go change that diaper of yours." 

I walked as I texted Elijah and Cole before heading into the baby center. I changed Persephone's diaper before warming up another bottle for her. I fed her before burping her and placing her back into the stroller. I did up the straps before getting back up and putting the diaper bag back into the compartment. I rolled the stroller back outside, where the others were waiting.

"Hey, sorry. Persephone needed a diaper change and a bottle," I told them.

"It's okay," Elijah said as he kissed my cheek before taking the stroller from me.

"Yeah, you shouldn't have to feel bad that you needed to feed or change, our niece," Kate told me.

"Okay, next stop. Manatee Rehabilitation area," I voiced as we headed back towards the area.

When we got there to the Manatee section. We could see them in the waters.

"Wow, I can't believe how many Manatee need rehabilitation," I muttered as I saw so many Manatee.

"Yeah, but they get the help and are released if they can be released," Kate voiced.

"Where to next?" Kyra asked as we turned to the boys.

"Journey to Atlantis," Finn answered.

"Who's staying with Persephone?" I asked.

"I am," Elijah said. "We'll be in the aquarium when the ride is finished."

We headed over to the ride and got in the line before Elijah and Persephone headed to the Aquarium.

An hour and a half later, we were in front of the line and waiting for our turn. The ride vehicle was in front of us, and the doors opened. We walked on and locked ourselves in place. A couple of seconds later, we were off to the Journey of Atlantis. 

After the ride, we met up with Persephone and Elijah as they looked at the aquarium glass windows filled with sea life passing by. 

"Having fun?" I said as we came up behind them.

"She is sure enjoying seeing the animals," Elijah replied as Persephone kept looking around at the sea life.

"Yes, it seems that she does," I voiced as Elijah laid Persephone down into the stroller before doing up the straps.

"Guys, let's go to the gift shop," Kate said as we headed out of the Atlantis aquarium with the stroller.

After seeing the sea life, we headed for the Golden Seahorse Gifts Store. I didn't find anything that I would have liked. So I headed back to the aquarium exhibit with Persephone while the others shopped.

"After this, Miss. Persephone, we're going to see a Dolphin show," I told her as we looked at the sea life passing by. "Then we're going back to the hotel for dinner, quiet time and sleepy time. How does that sound?"

"There you are," Cole said as he and Elijah came over.

"Didn't find anything I liked," I replied. "Sorry, I didn't text. I thought Persephone and I would look at the underwater sea life before the Dolphin show."

"It's okay," Kate said as she came over. "We were just worried."

"Let's go see the show before we head back to the hotel," I said as I stood back up. "Whoa!" I swayed a bit.

"Are you okay?" Elijah asked.

"I just felt a bit dizzy," I responded.

"Maybe we should skip the show and head back to the hotel now," Klaus suggested.

"Yeah, I think that might be a good idea," I voiced.

"What's happening to you, Kate, Kyra and Rebekah?" Jeremy asked before saying. "I mean, your nauseous, getting dizzy and having cravings. It's not like your pregnant." 

"If this continues, when we get back to Los Angeles. We'll make an appointment with the doctor," Kate voiced.

We headed out of the aquarium exhibit before heading for the exit of Sea World. We walked to the cars before getting in. Cole dealt with Persephone and got into her car seat before Elijah put the stroller in the trunk. We were off back to the hotel.

When we got back to the hotel, we ordered our dinner at the Boardwalk before taking it back to our rooms to eat. Elijah fed Persephone her puree dinner as we settled to eat our dinner.

"What did you get?" Buffy asked.

"I got the Cheese flatbread and a chocolate cake with water," I told her before asking. "You?"

"Pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and carrot cake with water," Buffy answered.

 "I got the Parmesan Meatball Sub and Butterfinger cheesecake with ice tea," Cole voiced before taking a bite of sub.

"I ordered the cobb salad and carrot cake with a hot tea," Elijah told us as he finished wiping Persephone's face with the cloth.

Timeskip

After dinner and dessert, we did tummy time for Persephone. She started to like tummy time, but it was time for her bath. Elijah bathed Persephone, and I got her ready for bed. I read to her one of the new books I got her from Suess landing as she fell asleep in my arms.

"Nighty-night, Persephone. May your dreams bring you happiness," I whispered as I laid her down into the crib before laying her blanket down her.

I headed to the bathroom and got changed into my PJs. Buffy did the same. We both headed back into the bedroom, and I got to work on my new plans to expand my business. Four hours later, it was time for bed, and I just went to sleep. I didn't even realize that Cole and Elijah joined me in sleep. 

A Giant Time Skip Later...

Dear Diary,

Day 9 in Orlando was hard. I've been nauseous but never dizzy. But it was weird. Kate, Kyra, Rebekah and I have all had the same symptoms. Anyways, let me tell you what has been happening these last five days at Sea World Orlando.

Day 10 & 11- Aquatica: We spent the next two days at Aquatica water park. It was fun and less stressful. Kate, Kyra, Rebekah and I had a bit of nausea, but it went away by lunchtime. We had fun swimming, going down water slides and just hanging out. Persephone enjoyed the water as much as she was in it. Her naps were 2 hours long each day. While Persephone napped, I read one of the variations of Pride and Prejudice while the others had fun. After spending the first day in the water park, we had early dinner before heading back to our rooms for whatever we wanted to do. Our room watched movies. We did the same thing on the second day. 

Day 12- Our second day at Sea World: Our breakfast, we did the breakfast buffet this time. After breakfast, we headed into the park and enjoyed Pacific Point, the orca viewing, and Antarctica: Empire of Penguins. Elijah got us a tour close-up tour with the Penguins. I got to pet a penguin and got my picture taken with them. It was so cool. After the Penguin tour, we headed for Glarical Collections. Our room group bought three Penguin Mugs, one blue Penguin Frame, one Penguin stuffie, and four Personalized Penguin Cups. After shopping, we headed to Expedition Cafe for lunch. We ordered tenders, fries with Shredded Cheddar-Jack Cheese, Bacon Bits, Chives & Sprite (me), Orange chicken with fried rice & orange Fanta (Cole), Teriyaki Chicken with fried rice & coffee (Elijah), and Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Mac 'N Cheese & Coca-cola (Buffy). After lunch, we did some more shopping as Persephone napped. We did a little shopping at Little Miss Matched. We bought Persephone two pairs of toddler sandals and a couple of pairs of toddler sunglasses. We watched the orca show before heading back to Expedition Cafe for a snack. Kyra, Buffy, Kol, Jeremy, Klaus, Andy, & I had the chocolate cake. Kate, Finn, Leo & Elijah had the carrot cake, and Jenna, Rebekah, & Cole had the cheesecake. After eating, we headed for the Kraken ride. Kate, Kyra, Rebekah and I stayed back with Persephone while the others had fun. While the others were having fun, we looked at Kraken Gifts. We bought a Kraken T-shirt for Xander, Oz, & Jeremy. Persephone woke up from her nap before I changed her before giving her another bottle. Then we headed to the exit of Kraken before waiting for the boys and Jenna. We went to another show before heading to Lakeside Grill for an early dinner. Our group ordered Bacon Cheeseburger without lettuce, tomato, onion, with fries and sprite (me), Signature Grilled chicken Kabobs & a water bottle (Elijah), another Bacon Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onion, fries & coca-cola (Buffy), and a Lakeside Mediterian Burger with fries and an Orange Fanta (Cole). We also ordered our desserts to go (2 chocolate cakes-Buffy and me, 1 carrot cake- Elijah & 1 cheese cake-Cole). After eating, we headed back to the hotel for free time. Elijah and Cole played with Persephone as I ordered what I needed to expand my business. While Buffy watched a movie on her laptop. A couple of hours later, Persephone was bathed, changed and put down to bed before a bit of quiet free time before we went to bed.

Day 13- Third day at Sea World: For breakfast, we did the buffet again before heading off to the park. This day, we did the same areas we had done in the previous days before lunch at Captain Pete's Hot Dog once more. I had Pete's Foot Long Dog with cheese and a sprite as Buffy had Totchos. Cole had a Chicken tender Platter as Elijah had the same thing had on our first day here. After lunch, we didn't do any shopping while Persephone was sleeping. So we watched a couple of shows and did a couple of rides while we waited for her to wake up. After she woke up, I changed her and gave her a bottle before heading to Sesame street. We got there in enough time to see the Sesame Street Party Parade. Persephone was in my arms as we danced to the Parade music and saw the characters as they came by. After the parade, we met Elmo and took a picture with him before heading to try some of the interactive features of Sesame Street. For dinner, we had Altitude Burgers to go. We ordered three Build-a burger [Bacon Cheeseburger with Ketchup & Waffle fries] & a Sprite (me), [Grilled Chicken Burger with Ketchup & Onion Rings] & an Orange Fanta (Cole), [Cheese Burger with ketchup, mustard, Onions & Waffle fries] & a water bottle (Elijah) and the Altitude Burger & coca-cola (Buffy). We took our desserts to go and bought the same as yesterday's desserts. We headed back to the hotel for free time. Buffy headed to the pool with the others. While Cole, Elijah and I stayed in the room with Persephone for some quiet time. We did tummy time, fed her dinner before bathing her, changing her into a clean diaper & sleeper before laying her down to sleep. Elijah got some work done. Cole and I watched a movie. Buffy came back before getting ready for bed. The rest of us got ready for bed before heading to bed.

Day 14- Fourth day at Sea World: Our last day at Sea World Orlando. We did the traditional breakfast buffet before heading to the park. After we got to the parks, we did several aquariums before heading to the shark encounter. The boys and Persephone liked seeing the sharks. After seeing the sharks, we headed for Fin Gifts. We bought a whale stuffie for Persephone, and Buffy got a shark tooth necklace. After shopping, we did the orca viewing once more before heading for lunch at Food Truck in Sesame Street. Our group ordered the Hawianna Grilled Cheese Sandwich- Pulled pork with smoked bacon bits, cheddar cheese, and BBQ sauce & french fries (me), Hawaiian Grilled Chicken Tenders, served with Island BBQ sauce & french fries (Buffy), Asian Tempura Chicken Tenders & Fresh Fruit (Elijah) and The Turkey Melt Grilled Cheese Sandwich - Roasted turkey breast topped with sweet tomato and American cheese & fries (Cole). We ordered our drink at a separate food truck. Our drinks were the Elmo's Rockin Rasberry Smoother (me), the Big Bird's Pineapple Delight Smoothie (Elijah), Cookie's Blueberry Bliss (Cole) and Abby's Strawberry Sparkle (Buffy). We fed Persephone before eating our dinner and drinking our smoothies. After lunch, we headed for Hooper's Store in Sesame Street. We bought a big bird stuffie, a cookie monster stuffie, Elmo Bubble wand, Pink Poka Dot Hat & Elmo Cape (Persephone), and a couple of Sesame Street Pins, Lanyard & Sesame Street Frame (me). After shopping, we headed to do some rides that Persephone couldn't go on in the Sesame Street area. Then we headed for a snack as Persephone woke up. Cole fed Persephone her after-nap bottle. Our room group ordered two coca-cola Icee with vanilla soft serve ice cream (Cole & Buffy) and a Blue Raspberry Icee with vanilla soft serve ice cream (me). Elijah got a Wild Cherry Icee with a vanilla soft serve ice cream. After snacks, we got onto the Sunny day Carousel with Persephone before going to the Wild Arctic. We saw walruses and beluga whales. Persephone kept laughing when they would open their mouths and bubbles came out. Then we headed for the Wild Artic Gift store. We bought a Beluga whale stuffie for Persephone before heading to our next store. The next store we headed to was called Sea World Rescue. Our group bought seven sea world rescue utility packs, three sea world rescue t-shirts, one sea world rescue ornament, and one sea world rescue hoodie. Which donated 5% to sea world rescue. We were happy to spend that money to help sea world rescue. 

After SeaWorld Rescue, we headed for Sea World Store. We bought a SeaWorld Retro Rainbow Water Bottle, a vintage Character Fleece Blanket, a SeaWorld Retro Logo Mug, a SeaWorld Florida Local Yellow Adult Tee, a Light Blue SeaWorld Mamatee Tee, Seaworld Penguins Pin, a Penguin Ornament & a Dolphin Fireworks Throw (me), a SeaWorld Whale Tye-dye Toddler Tee, a Rainbow Sloth Plush, a 'Witch Way to Candy?' Dolphin Toddler tee, a SeaWorld 'Why I Otter?' Toddler Tee, a light blue SeaWorld Rescue Toddler Tee, and a Miyoni Wolf Plush (Persephone). Our group also bought a SeaWorld Retro Repeat Pink Clear Mug, SeaWorld Retro Rainbow Water Bottle, SeaWorld Florida Local Mint Adult Zip Hoodie, a SeaWorld Rainbow Text Blanket & a SeaWorld Turtle Family Pin (Willow), a Sea World Retro Repeat Blue with White Tumblr, a SeaWorld Retro Rainbow Water Bottle, and a SeaWorld Penguin Dog Tag Pin (Buffy). Elijah bought Most Jawsome Dad, a SeaWorld Retro Blue with White Mug (Giles), a SeaWorld Retro Logo Mug, a 'Have a Turtle Awesome Father's Day' Mug [S.W], and a World Greatest Walrus Father Mug. Cole bought a SeaWorld Retro Logo Tumblr, a Nanocoaster Kraken, a SeaWorld Florida Coaster Cutout Model Manta, and a Coolest Dad Penguins Mug.  

After shopping, we headed for our dinner reservation at Voyager's Smokehouse. We ordered the Texas Style Brisket with waffle fries, Mac 'n' Cheese & a sprite (me), a Smokehouse sampler with waffle fries, Mac 'n' Cheese & coca-cola (Buffy), a Smoked Chicken with waffle fries, Garden Side Salad & a glass of wine (Elijah) and the St. Louis Style BBQ Ribs with waffle fries, baked beans & rootbeer (Cole). We took our usual desserts to-go and headed back to the hotel for free time, sorting out shopping and packing. We did the dinner routine with Persephone before doing the bedtime routine. After Persephone went to bed, we did some packing and sorting out what we got today. Then we went to bed ourselves.

Today is check-out day: We are leaving the Renaissance at Sea World. After check-out, we're heading to Disney Springs for Brunch and some shopping. A* 

I closed my journal before placing it into my carry-on. I looked over at Elijah as he fed Persephone her breakfast.

"Where are we having brunch?" I asked.

"Chef Art's Homecoming," Elijah answered as he started to wipe Persephone's face.

"So, what are the shopping places today?" Buffy asked as she closed her luggage and zipped it up.

"Today, we have the art of shaving, Build-a-Dino, Pandora Jewelry, Alex and ani, Ever After Jewelry Co.," Cole told us. "Lily Pulitzer and Sugarboo & Co." 

"For today's snack location is Gideon's Bakehouse," Elijah voiced as he finished wiping Persephone's face clean.

"Is everything packed?" I asked.

"Everything is packed," Cole said. "We are ready to head to the lobby for check out."

We grabbed the bags and luggage before heading out the door with the stroller.

When we got downstairs in the lobby, Jenna, Klaus, Finn, and Elijah headed to check out as we waited with the others.

"So, Chef's Art Homecoming for brunch," Kate said.

"Yeah," I replied. "While the boys are at Art of Shaving, we'll be at Build-a-dino."

"That sounds like a good idea," Kyra voiced.

"We're doing a lot of Jewelry shopping," Buffy said as Klaus, Finn, Elijah, and Jenna returned.

"Time to go," Elijah stated as we headed out of the hotel with our things and the stroller.

When we got to the cars, we packed the SUVs with our bags and luggage into the trunk. Cole put Persephone into her car seat and did up the straps before handing the stroller to Elijah. Buffy, Cole and I got in as Elijah put the stroller into the trunk.

"Disney Springs, here we come," Cole said as Elijah got in and started the car.

We were off to Disney Springs.

Twenty minutes later, we were in one of the park garages at Disney Springs. Cole was getting the stroller out of the trunk as I brought Persephone into my arms. Buffy grabbed the diaper bag.

"Here," Cole said as he gave me the stroller.

I set Persephone into the stroller before doing up the straps.

"Here's her hat and Sunglasses," Buffy said as she handed me Persephone's hat and baby sunglasses.

"Thank you," I replied as I put Persephone's hat and sunglasses on her before standing back up. 

"Let's go eat," Andy voiced as we started our way to Chef Art's Homecoming.

When we got to the restaurant, we headed for the hostess table.

"Welcome to Chef Art's Homecoming," the woman said before asking. "Do you have a reservation?"

"Yes, three tables under Mikaelson," Klaus answered.

"Of course," The woman said as she looked up the reservation before counting how many menus she would need. "This way."

She led us to our tables before we were seated. 

"Your servers will be with you in a moment," the woman told us as she gave us the menus. 

Elijah took four menus and handed them to us. Elijah gave six menus to Klaus before handing the last four menus to Rebekah. 

"What looks good?" Leo asked as we all opened the menus.

"The biscuits for starters," I voiced.

"What else looks good?" Kyra questioned.

"Hello, my name is Luke, and I will be your server," Luke introduced himself before saying. "What can I get for your drinks?"

"I'll have an orange juice," I ordered.

"Me too," Kate said.

"Me as well," Leo replied.

The rest of our group ordered their drinks. 4 more orange juices (Buffy, Andy, Cole, & Kol). 4 glasses of water (Klaus, Jeremy, Rebekah, & Elijah). A Strawberry lemonade Cocktail (Finn) and a Sweet Tea Shine (Jenna). 

"What can we get you for starters?" Luke asked.

"Our table would like the biscuits," Elijah ordered.

"Our table would like the house-made Doughnuts," Kate ordered.

"Our table would like the house-made Doughnuts as well," Jenna ordered.

"What would you like for your main course?" Luke questioned.

"I would like the Fried Chicken & Doughnuts with Griddled Country Ham," I ordered.  

"I would like the French Toast with the Pecan-smoked Bacon," Buffy ordered.

"I would like the Hallelujah Biscuit with the Potato Gratin Hash," Elijah ordered.

"I would like the French Toast with Seasonal Fruit," Cole ordered.

The rest of our group ordered before Luke went to put our order in. Ten minutes later, our food and drinks were here, and we were enjoying the food and the company.

An hour later, brunch was done, and we were heading for our first shopping stop. The boys walked into the Art of Shaving before the rest of us headed to Build-A-Dino. We each made a Dino for ourselves and one for our shopping buddies. We also made one each for those who weren't on the trip with us. A cast member had us shake a heart before they were filled with stuffing. Then we dressed it with the personalities of each person that the dino was for. Then we did a birth certificate for each, which included the date it was made, their names, height, weight, fur & eye colour, and who they belonged to. Finally, we headed to pay before heading out to meet with the boys.

The boys were outside waiting for us as we came out of Build-a-Dino, which was connected to the Dino Store/T-rex restaurant.

"Hey, did you have fun?" Cole asked as I kissed his cheek.

"Mm, did you have a shave?" I asked.

"Yeah, I got rid of the stubble," Cole answered.

"I thought you boys were only buying products," Kate voiced.

"We thought we could use a shave as well," Andy responded.

"Okay, girls, before you give us third degree. Let's head to Pandora Jewelry," Klaus said as he tried to defuse what we were going to say.

"Let's go," Kyra replied as we headed for Pandora Jewelry.

When we got to Pandora Jewelry, we walked in and started to look around. Today, we were choosing a bracelet and two charms to start our pandora journey. Elijah, Klaus and Finn have said, 'we'll be picking charms for our last two vacation stops. While they will pick the other charms for our bracelets.'

"Hello, what can we do for you?" a woman asked.

"We are looking for two bracelets and two charms first," Elijah said as Cole was with Buffy doing the same.

"What colour of bracelet?" the woman asked.

"Both rose gold," Elijah answered.

"Okay, let's get to work on the two charms," the woman responded.

"I would like the sea turtle charm for both of them," I answered as I decided. "The Dobby Harry Potter on one of them and on the other, the Hermione Granger."

"Why don't you take Persephone outside? I'll choose the other charms for the bracelets," Elijah suggested.

"Okay," I said as I kissed his cheek before heading out of Pandora with the other girls following me. I turned towards them before saying. "You too?"

"Yeah. What did you choose for your first charms?" Rebekah asked.

"I picked the sea turtle and Dobby," I answered.

"I picked the sea turtle and Hermione," Kate answered.

"Did anyone else pick the sea turtle for sea world?" Kyra asked.

The rest of the girls of our group raised their hands.

"Guess great minds think alike," Buffy answered.

A little while later, the boys came out with their bags and over to us.

"Where to next?" Jenna asked.

"Alex and ani," Klaus answered.

We headed over to Alex and ani jewelry store.

When we got there, we separated to choose our bangles. A woman came over to me, Elijah and Persephone as we looked at the case.

"Hello, are there ones you would to see?" the woman asked.

"I would like to see this one... this one... this one... and this one," I said as I pointed to the ones I liked.

"These are good choices," the woman responded as she got the four that I picked out. 

"What do you think?" Elijah asked me.

"These two for me and the other two for Willow," I responded as I looked at the second one that I had chosen for myself.

"Will these be all?" the woman questioned.

"Yes, just these four," Elijah answered as we headed for the register.

The woman rang up our bangles before Elijah paid, and we were given the boxes in an Alex and ani bag. We headed out of the store to wait for the others.

"You made a great choice for yourself and Willow," Elijah voiced.

"I thought the family one for Willow was a good choice for her. Our group is like a family. We fight, and we make up," I responded.

"Did you guys pick what you wanted?" Kate asked as they came over to us.

"I picked two for Willow and two for me," I answered as they stopped.

"Where to next?" Kyra asked.

"Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories," Finn answered.

We headed over to our next jewelry store.

When we got there, we separated and looked for what we would like. It didn't take long for something to catch my eye. It was a snowflake bracelet that had caught my eye as I was sort of like Elsa with ice powers.

"Hey, what caught your eye?" Elijah asked as he came over to me with the stroller.

"The snowflake bracelet," I answered as I kissed his cheek and pointed to the bracelet.

"Perfect choice. I'll go and get a worker," Elijah said before handing off the stroller. "Go take Persephone outside." 

"Okay," I replied before heading outside with the stroller. 

I looked down to see Persephone asleep but sucking on her thump. I headed to the nearest bench before shaking my head. I grabbed her bottle and warmed it up before getting her out of the stroller.

"I know, I know, but you need to eat before you go to sleep," I whispered as she cried before quieting as I gave her the bottle.

Persephone held the bottle as she fed. A little while later, she was done eating and I was burping her. I put her back into the stroller before heading to the nearest bathroom with a changing table. I changed her diaper before washing my hands and giving her the soother. I laid her back into the stroller and put her blanket over her. I headed back to find the others waiting outside of Ever After Jewelry.

"Sorry, I needed to find the nearest bathroom to change Persephone. I meant to text," I voiced.

"It's okay," Elijah said as he came over with the jewelry bag.

"Next stop Sugarbook & Co.," Jenna voiced as we started on our way to the last store of the day.

When we got to the store, we walked and separated. I headed to the first thing that caught my eye. Elijah picked his favourite quote journal before grabbing an artisan book. I grabbed a green marble journal for Giles before setting it into my buggy that Elijah grabbed. 

"Where to next?" Elijah asked. 

"Gourmet Food section in Kitchen section," I answered as we headed to the section.

I grabbed five Sugarboo & Co. artisan Caramels and three Malvi Marshmallows 5-Pack Cotton Candy flavoured before putting them in the buggy. We headed to the next section before grabbing two Basil & Mint Hand Lotions. We continued on with our shopping.

Thirty minutes later, Elijah and I had finished shopping. We had bought one journal & one artisan Caramels for Giles, one quote journal, one Malvin Marshmallows 5 pack Cotton Candy Flavoured & one artisan Caramels for Elijah and one artisan book & one artisan Caramels for Angel. We bought one artisan Caramel, one Malvi Marshmallows 5 Pack Cotton Candy flavoured, one blessing candle with the engraved box (saying: May you stand in your light...), an elemental candle (Light), one Birthstone Crystal Wishing Bottle (October), one healing stones box set, one basil & Mint Hand Lotion, and one wooden Hexagon Shelf with stones for Willow. One Artisan Caramels, one Malvu Marshmallows 5 pack Cotton Candy Flavoured, one Basil & Mint Hand Lotion, one blessing candle with engraved wooden boxes (saying: May Love and Laughter...), an elemental Candle (Water), a birthstone crystal wishing bottle (April), a healing stones box set, a wooden hexagon shelf with stones, and a baby Swaddler for me. Elijah and I also got Persephone, a 'you are my sunshine' blanket, an 12-18 month 'We can be Heroes' shirt, a Peter Pan book, The giving Tree book and Where the wild things are Book.

"Let's head outside," Elijah said as he grabbed the bags that were in my hands.

I took the stroller as we headed out of Sugarboo & Co. We waited for the others before heading to Gideon's Bakehouse.

When we got there, we got into line and waited for our turn to go inside Gideon's Bakehouse. Elijah, Persephone, Buffy, Cole and I went in before our friends. We walked through the line to the counter before waiting for the cashier to be ready.

"Hello and welcome to Gideon's Bakehouse," the woman said before asking. "What can I get for you all?"

"We would like an Original Chocolate Chip Cookie, an Peanut Butter Crunch, a Pistachio Toffee Chocolate Chip, an Coffee Cake Cookie, a Cookies & Cream, a Triple Chocolate chip Cookie," I ordered.

"Anything else?" the woman asked.

"Yes, a True Red Velt, a Daily Chocolate Slice, a Daily Double Frosting Cake Slice, three Good Old Fashioned Local Milks and The original Peanut Butter Cold Brew," Elijah finished the order.

The woman got our order together as Elijah paid before heading out of Gideon's Bakehouse. We waited for the others before we headed for the cars.

When we got to the cars, I placed Persephone back into her car seat before doing up the straps. I gave the stroller over to Elijah as he packed our shopping bags. Cole got into the car with the treats and drinks. Buffy joined me and got into the back seat. 

"Legoland Hotel, here we come," Cole said as Elijah turned on the car.

We were off to the next hotel.

An hour later, we were at the hotel and were getting the bags out of the trunk. Our today's shopping bags were in a souvenir extension bag. I picked Persephone out of her car seat and into the stroller.

"Shh, she's still asleep," I told the others.

"Okay, room assignments are the same as last time," Klaus told us.

We headed into the lobby with our bags, treats, and drinks.

We waited for Elijah, Klaus, Finn and Jenna to come back with the keys. A little while later, the boys and Jenna came back with the keys to the rooms. 

"Okay, let's go explore our rooms," Jenna said as she led her group to the evaluators. 

Elijah led us to our set of evaluators before we headed up to our room. A couple of minutes later, we were on our floor and heading to our room. When we got to our room, Elijah paused before turning to us.

"Our room is a different theme than the others," Elijah told us before opening the door. 

"Wow," We said as we walked in and saw a pirate theme room.

I saw a pack and play in the corner.

"I made sure to ask for a pack and play when we booked the hotel," Elijah told me.

"Thank you," I replied as I laid my luggage bag on the bed.

Elijah got Persephone out of her stroller as Cole got the playpen ready.

"How long has she been sleeping?" Buffy asked.

"An hour and forty minutes," I answered as I checked my phone. "Persephone napped after breakfast for about an hour."

"She'll be up soon," Cole said as Elijah laid her into the playpen.

"While she's sleeping, why don't we eat our snack from Gideon's?" I suggested.

"That's a good idea," Buffy responded as Elijah handed out our choice cookie.

"...And Peanut butter crunch for Aurora," Elijah said as he handed me my choice cookie.

"Thank you," I replied as I took it.

"Here is the milk," Elijah said as he handed me milk to go with my cookie. "I'll put the cakes in the fridge." As he placed the slices of cake into the mini-fridge.

"So, what's the plan until dinner?" Buffy asked with a mouth full of cookies & creme.

"Well, when Persephone is awake, we'll do the room's Treasure hunt," Elijah answered as he took a bite of his Coffee Cake cookie.

"Wait, this room has a treasure hunt?" Cole questioned.

"With a prize inside somewhere," Elijah voiced.

We continued to eat our treats and talk about today and tomorrow events.

A Slight Time Skip...

After Persephone had woken up, we did the Treasure hunt, which was fun. Persephone was laughing as she watched us running around the room as we tried to find everything we needed to get the treasure. We got our prizes before we headed down for dinner. Tonight's dinner is at Shipwreck Restaurant for our rooms group. The others decided on Bricks Restaurant for dinner.

"Hello and welcome to Shipwreck Restaurant," A worker said. "Do you have a reservation?" 

"Yes, under Mikaelson," Elijah answered.

"Yes, here it is," the woman said before looking up. "Right this way." She showed us where we would be sitting. "Your server will be with momentarily."

Elijah got Persephone situated in the high chair before locking her into the highchair. 

"Hello, my name is Daniel, and I will be your server," our server Daniel introduced himself before suggesting. "Why don't we start off with drinks? What can I get for you?"

"An Iced Tea for me," I ordered.

"Same for me," Buffy told him.

"Sprite will be fine," Cole said.

"An Iced Tea as well," Elijah responded.

"Okay, three iced Teas and one Sprite coming right up. I will be right back with your drinks and the first course," Daniel told us before leaving with our drink order.

A couple of minutes later, Daniel came back with our drinks and our first course. It was a mixed green salad with toasted almonds, dried cranberries, fresh tomatoes, fresh apples, red onion, and asiago cheese tossed with homemade poppy seed dressing.  

"Here are your drinks and the first course," Daniel said before telling us. "Now, you have a choice for your second course."

We looked at the menu at the choices before deciding on...

"We would the Pirate's Platter," Elijah told him.

"Good choice. I'll go put your order in while you get started on your first course," Daniel said as he wrote down our order before heading to the kitchen.

"Aurora, where are the pureed foods for Persephone dinner?" Cole asked.

"Here," I answered as I took out the puree-made food from Persephone's bag. "Here's her spoon as well." Before handing them over to Cole.

"Thank you," Cole said. 

"Don't forget her bib," Elijah voiced as he handed over the bib.

"Good idea," Cole responded as he put the bib on her before starting to feed her the pureed food.

The rest of us started on the first course as we waited for our Pirate's Platter. Sometime later, our Pirate's Platter came, and we dug into the family-style platter. 

An hour later, we had eaten dinner and our provided dessert before heading back to the room for some more quiet time. Elijah bathed and changed Persephone for bed. 

"Well, time for storytime," I said as Elijah handed me Persephone. "Miss Persephone, what do you think we should read?" Cole held out two of the new books we had bought. "Where the wild things are," As Persephone reached out for the storybook in Cole's right hand. "That's a good choice. This was your Uncle Jeremy's favourite."

I had Persephone between my legs as she sat up on her own before starting to read Where the Wild Things Are. 

Ten minutes later, Persephone was out like a light as I got up with her in my arms before laying her into the playpen. Cole laid her blanket down on her before we shut off the light. I walked over to the bathroom before doing my bathroom routine. After that, I dressed into my Spongebob Squarepants top & shorts before taking my dirty clothes and placing them into my laundry bag.

"Night, Aurora," Buffy said as she peered around the corner.

"Night, Buffy," I replied as I looked over at her before getting into bed.

The boys took their turns and got ready for bed. I got into the middle of the bed before closing my eyes and turning onto my side. A couple of minutes later, they were in bed, and we were off like a light.

Time Skip

It was morning. Persephone was already up and dressed for the day. Elijah was feeding her while Buffy and I got ready for the day. I placed my greenish-blue dress on before slipping on my brown flats. Buffy helped me up on my spelled protection arrow necklace before putting the bracelets and my Claddagh ring on. After I did my accessories, I did my hair before helping Buffy with her outfit. 

"Can you help me?" Buffy asked as she was already dressed but needed help with her necklace.

"Of course," I responded as I helped her put on her necklace.

"Thank you," Buffy replied.

"Your welcome," I returned as we brushed our teeth before heading out of the bathroom with our bags.

When we walked into the main bedroom, Persephone was fed and ready to go out. 

"You girls, ready for breakfast?" Cole questioned.

"Already," I responded.

"Let's go then," Cole returned before we headed out the door for breakfast.

When we got downstairs, we met up with the others.

"How was your first night here?" Kate asked.

"We had dinner at Shipwreck Restaurant. It was family-style. The food was great," I answered. "Our room is themed to pirates. What about your rooms?"

"Kingdom Themed," Kate answered.

"Lego Movie for our group," Jeremy answered.

"Adventure," Kyra told us.

"Where are we going for breakfast?" Rebekah asked.

"Bricks Restaurant," Finn answered.

"Let's go eat," Andy said as we headed over to Bricks Restaurant. 

When we got to the Bricks Restaurant, we were seated at our tables before heading for the buffet. I grabbed Freshly brewed Ice Tea, a chocolate chip muffin, assorted fresh-cut fruit, sausage & bacon before heading over to the waffle station. I grabbed a waffle with whip cream and warm maple syrup to go with it. I headed over to the tables, so Cole could go and get his breakfast.

"Thank you for staying with Persephone. Go get your breakfast," I told Cole before he left to get food.

"Aurora, that looks delicious," Jenna said as she came over and sat at her table nearest to us. "What did you get?"

"I got an Iced Tea, a chocolate chip muffin, some fruit, sausage, bacon, a waffle with some cream and warm maple syrup," I answered before asking. "What did you get?"

"I got a coffee, a croissant, yogurt & granola with berries, biscuits & gravy, some eggs, bacon," Jenna told me. "And a waffle with fresh fruit compote."

Cole and Elijah came back with their breakfast before sitting down. Buffy was following behind them with her breakfast in hand.

"Find something?" I asked Buffy.

"Yeah, and it looks delicious," Buffy responded as I dung into my food.

I looked over at Persephone as she played with the toy attached to the stroller. I smiled before taking a drink.

An hour later, we finished breakfast and were at the park. We were heading to our first ride of the day.

"So, the Grande Carosuel," Cole said.

"Top layer is for the older kids and adults, and below is for the little ones and their parents," I replied.

"Can I go on the top layer?" Cole asked.

"Yes, you don't have to ask me," I responded.

"I know. I just thought you might want one of us with you and Persephone," Cole voiced.

"I'll stay with her," Elijah told him. "You go to the top with the others."

We put the stroller in stroller parking before getting into line. A little while later, we were in front of the line and were waiting our turn. Seconds later, it was our turn to get on. Cole, Buffy and the others went up top as Elijah took Persephone before I got on the black horse. Elijah gave me Persephone before taking a picture of us on his cell and got on the brown horse next to us. The ride started as the music began before it started going around.

Two circles around later, we were off the ride, and we were heading to Build-Your-Art-Gallery by Lego DOTS. When we got there, we designed a little lego art. After we finished our lego art, we added it to the wall before heading out to our next stop.

"Where to next?" Rebekah asked.

"The Heartlake area," Jenna answered.

We continued our way to Heartlake City.

When we got to the Heartlake City, we first headed to the Heartlake Stepping Tones Fountain before creating our own music with stones. After making music, we headed to Mia's Riding Adventure. Kate, Kyra, Rebekah and I stayed back with Persephone as Buffy, Kol, Jeremy, and Jenna got in line. Elijah, Klaus, Finn, and Cole joined them in line with them after some encouragement from us.

"Go have fun," I told them.

"We'll be fine," Kate voiced.

"Are you sure?" Elijah questioned.

"Yes, we are just going to explore before meeting you guys at the exit," Kyra responded before they joined the others in the line.

We explored the area and had some ice cream at the Heartlake Ice Cream Parlour before heading back to the others.

When we got back to the ride, the rest of our group were waiting for us.

"Seriously, guys. You are going to ruin your lunch," Finn voiced as he saw us eating ice cream.

"We had a craving," Rebekah stated.

"Plus, we're still hungry," Kyra told them as we finished our ice cream.

"Time for lunch anyway," Kate responded.

"Where are we eating lunch anyway?" Leo asked.

"Fun Town Pizza & Pasta," Elijah answered as we headed over to our lunch spot.

Time Skip

It was after lunch, and it was time for Persephone's nap. We ate enough at the buffet for our stomachs to stop the cravings for a bit before we headed to the baby center in Legoland. I fed Persephone her naptime bottle before changing her diaper and rocking her to sleep. I laid her down into the stroller before putting the shade cover over her. We headed back out of the baby center to our only shopping of the day. When we got there, we separated and looked around. I only found two mood bracelets that caught my eye before paying and heading out of the store. A little while later, the others came out with their bags.

"Where to next?" Kate asked.

"I thought we would take a walk through the Botanic Gardens for some quiet," Finn answered.

"That would do Persephone some good," I voiced as we headed for Botanic Gardens.

When we got there, we started to walk through the beautiful gardens. We saw different trees and plants. We took photos, and we just enjoyed nature as we walked through the beauty of nature. By the time we got out of the Botanic Gardens, it was time for a snack. We headed for the Funnel Cake Factory.

When we got there, we got in line before waiting our turn. A little while later, it was our turn to order. Cole, Buffy and I ordered our funnel cakes with powdered sugar and a scoop of ice cream as Elijah ordered his with powdered sugar and fruit. After we were given our funnel cakes, we headed back towards the Pirate Cove for the Pirate Water show. We watched the show as we ate. After the show was done, we headed to the baby center as Persephone had awakened from her nap. I changed her diaper before feeding her. Persephone and I walked out of the baby center before placing Persephone back into the stroller.

"She's been changed and fed," I told them as I did the straps up before turning on her fans.

"Where are we going next?" Jeremy asked.

"Miniland USA," I answered.

"Let's go," Kyra said as we headed for Miniland USA.

When we got to the Miniland, we walked through. We saw Las Vegas, New York, Washington DC, our very own California, Pirates Shores, Florida and the Kenndy Space Center. I loved seeing the different monuments, and it sounded like Persephone liked the sounds that the Miniland made around her.

"The Miniland was well done," Klaus said.

"Yeah, and Persephone liked hearing the different sounds around her that it made," Cole voiced.

"So, where are we going to now?" Kyra asked.

"We are heading to The Great Lego Race," Jenna answered.

"I will be staying with Persephone this time," Klaus told us as we headed to our first ride of the afternoon.

When we got the ride, Klaus stayed with Persephone as we got into line. Sometime later, we were in front of the line and were waiting our turn. A little while later, the ride vehicle had arrived. Elijah and I got in the front as Cole and Buffy got in the back before placing our VR goggles on. We were off on the Great Lego Race.

After the ride, we met up with Klaus and Persephone before heading to our last ride of the day. 

"Flying School, here we come," Kol said with excitement.

"Kol, you do know it's just a roller coaster. We aren't actually learning how to fly," Kate pointed out.

"Really?" Kol questioned as he turned his head towards her.

"Yeah," Kate voiced.

"It's still fun to me," Kol responded.

"My turn to have some one-on-one time with Persephone," Jenna stated.

"Are you sure?" Kyra asked as we got to the ride.

"Yeah, go have fun," Jenna replied before she took the stroller from me, and we got into line.

Some more time later, we were in front of the line. We waited for our turn before the ride vehicle arrived. The doors opened as the passengers got off, and we got on. Cole and I in the front and Buffy and Elijah behind us. Then it was Kyra and Klaus, and behind them were Andy and Leo. Behind the boys were Kate and Finn, and  Jeremy and Rebekah with Kol behind them with another passenger. A little while later, we were off on a flying journey.

After the ride, we met up with Jenna and Persephone. Then we headed back to the hotel for some free time before dinner. When we got to the hotel, we split up and headed in different directions for our free time. Elijah, Cole and I headed back to the room with Persephone. Buffy went to the pool with the other girls. After Elijah, Cole, Persephone, and I got to the room, Cole and Elijah played with Persephone got some work done for my art designs and some prototypes designs for my add-on to my business. An hour later, it was time for dinner. Buffy was back in the room after an hour at the pool.

"Time for dinner. Where are we eating?" Buffy asked.

"Bricks this time for dinner," Elijah answered as Cole Persephone food out of the fridge before placing it into the diaper bag.

I got Persephone into the stroller before doing up the straps. We were off to dinner.

When we got downstairs, the others were heading to Shipwreck Restaurant as we headed to Bricks Restaurant for dinner. When we got there, we waited to be seated. A little while later, we were shown to our table. Elijah stayed with Persephone as we headed to the buffet. I grabbed breadsticks, Italian sausage, Fettucini Alfredo, mashed potatoes, and beef strip loin. I headed back to the table with my plate.   

"You can go and get your dinner, Elijah," I told him.

"Okay, darling," Elijah responded before kissing my cheek. "I fed Persephone her dinner." He left the table before heading to the buffet for his dinner.

I watched as Persephone played with her soft as I ate. It wasn't before long Buffy and Cole came back with Elijah behind them.

"This looks good," Buffy said as she sat down before beginning to eat.

We continued to our dinner before getting up to get dessert. I picked up Ice cream and a couple of cakes before heading back to the table. Persephone was fading fast. She had so much excitement today. I ate dessert as Elijah got up went to get his before Buffy and Cole came back to the table. 

Twenty minutes later, we were done with dinner, and Elijah paid before we headed back to the room. Elijah bathed Persephone before getting her ready for bed. I chose another storybook to read tonight. 

"Ready for storytime," I said to Persephone as I took her from Elijah.

I read Horton Hears a Who to her before laying her down to sleep. Cole laid her blanket down as Buffy came out of the bathroom in her Pjs.

"Night, Aurora," Buffy said as she headed to the bunk beds.

"Night," I whispered as I headed into the bathroom with my Pjs for a quick shower.

When I got into the bathroom, I turned on the shower before stripping out of my clothes and putting my jewelry into my locked jewelry box. I undid my braided hair before getting into the shower. I washed my body before realizing I had an unexpected visitor.

"This feels good," Cole said as he joined me in the shower.

"Hello, my shower time," I voiced.

"Now it's our shower time," Cole responded as he washed his body before helping me with my hair.

Sometime later, our shared shower time was done, and we were drying ourselves off. I quickly got dressed in my nightwear as Cole got dressed in his. I dried my hair before brushing my teeth and putting on my protection necklace. We headed out of the bathroom to see Elijah dressed in his nightclothes.

"Ready for bed," Elijah said.

"Yes, I believe we are," I replied as Cole turned out the light and we got into bed. 

A little while later, we drifted off to sleep.

A Giant Time Skip Later...

Dear Diary,

During the night of our first full day at the Park, Persephone got up three times. Two for feedings and one for a diaper change. Anyway, let me tell you what happened during the rest of our time at Legoland.

Day 17 & 18 in Orlando- Day 1 & 2 at Water Park: The morning before heading to Water Park was spent having breakfast at the Bricks Restaurant once more. After we ate, we had some downtime before the Water Park opened at noon. At noon, we had all times of water fun. We had a cabana nearest to where we wanted to do that day. The next day was the same, but our cabana was a different spot for that day. We all had fun, and Persephone enjoyed the splashing in the water. By the time we got back to the hotel, we were all tired, and We had dinner together before going straight to sleep after.

Day 19 in Orlando- Day 2 at Theme Park: We had breakfast at Shipwreck restaurant before heading to the park. We went explored more of the park. We went on the boating school ride, then the Lego Ninjago Ride before meeting with the characters, and then Coasterous. For lunch, we headed back to the Lego Ninjago area. We ate at Ninja Kitchen. After lunch, we headed to the Baby center to change Persephone's diaper and feed her a bottle before putting her down for a nap. Then we headed to Botanic Gardens again for a walk around before going to Wu's Warehouse for some shopping. We bought a Panda Bear Stuffie (Persephone) and Sweet Birthday Cake Popcorn Pucker Powder (Cole). After shopping, we headed to Kingdom Cones for a snack before Persephone woke up from her nap for a diaper change and feeding. After changing and feeding Persephone, we went on Beetle Bounce, the Lost Kingdom, Merlin's Challenge, and Unikitty Disco Drop. After that, we went to two more shores. The second to last store was called The Lego Factory Experience. We bought an Engraved Brick (Willow) and Built a model kit (Cole). After that, we headed for The Big Shop. We got a Legoland Onesie (Persephone), a Baby Yoda Lego Set (Buffy), and a Harry Potter Crests Lego Set & Brick Heads Baby Yoda Set (me). We picked up the pictures that were taken by Photographers at the Park. Then we headed back to the hotel for some quiet time before dinner. We had dinner at the same spots as breakfast before heading to bed.

Day 20 in Orlando- Half Day in Theme Park & Water Park: We ate breakfast at the same place before heading to the park. When we got to the park, we went into the Rebuild the world area and built whatever came to mind. After that, we went to Emmet's Super Suite and met him before going to the Lego Movie Masters of Flight. After the ride, we did the Battle of Bricksburg and got wet. We had lunch at Taco Everyday before getting Persephone ready for her nap. We did another walk around the Botanic Gardens before heading to the Water Park for some more wet fun. Persephone enjoyed splashing in the water again. At the end of the day, we ate dinner at the hotel before going to bed once more. 

Day 21 in Orlando- Half day in Theme Park & Half Day in Water Park: The First half of the day, we did our favourite rides before having lunch at Burger Kitchen. We did the same Nap Time Routine for Persephone before having a snack at Firehouse Ice Cream and picking up slushies at Fun Town Slushies. After Snacking, we headed for the Water Park for the afternoon. When we were done with the Water Park, we headed for Granny's Apple Fries (Dessert) and Pepper & Roni's Pizza Stop (Dinner). We picked up the day's pictures taken by photographers before heading back to the hotel to eat our take-out dinner and dessert. We fed Persephone before doing the usual bedtime routine (Bath, Diaper, Sleeper & Story). We packed our bags before going to bed ourselves. 

Today is Check-out Day at Legoland Hotel before going to Disney Springs for Lunch. After lunch, we'll do some shopping before heading to our next resort vacation. A*

I closed my journal before stashing it into my carry-on. I looked over to see Persephone eating her lunch as Buffy fed her. 

"Is everything packed and ready?" Elijah asked.

"Yep, we're just waiting for Persephone to finish her lunch," I answered.

"She is just about finished," Buffy replied as she headed to clean the bowl and spoon. "Here," As she threw a face cloth at Cole.

"Thank you," Cole voiced as he caught the cloth before wiping Persephone's face. "I know. I know you don't like this. But we need your face cleaned to go out." He whispered as she cried. "There, all done." 

"All ready to go?" Buffy asked as she came back into the room.

"Yes, I believe we are," Elijah answered.

"Let's go then," Buffy said as she grabbed her carry-on and luggage bag. 

I grabbed the diaper bag and put it under the stroller in the compartment before grabbing my luggage and carry-on. Cole took possession of Persephone's luggage and his own. Elijah took his luggage and carry-on bag, and Buffy grabbed hers. We left the room one last time.

After we got downstairs, we met up with the others. Klaus, Elijah, Finn, and Jenna headed to check out as we headed to the cars.

"Aurora, how was sleep last night?" Kate asked.

"Good, Persephone only woke two times. Once for changing and once for feeding," I answered.

"That's good," Kate responded.

"Where are we eating lunch today?" Kyra asked.

"We are eating lunch at Chicken Guy today," Cole answered as we got to the cars.

Cole, Andy, Leo & Rebekah unlocked the cars and opened the trunks. I got Persephone situated in her car seat before doing up the straps. I put the shade screen down before closing the door. I headed over to Cole and Buffy to help them put the luggage into the trunk. A little while later, we got all of the luggage bags in with enough room for Elijah's luggage. Buffy and I got into the car with our carry-ons as Elijah, Klaus, Finn, and Jenna came over to the SUVs. 

"How long more?" Buffy asked. "I'm hungry."

"Not much longer," I answered as the trunk closed and Elijah and Cole got into the car.

"Okay, everyone. Next, stop Disney Springs," Cole said as he started the car.

We were off to Disney Springs.

An hour and twenty minutes later, we were in Disney Springs and were heading to Chicken Guy. 

"So, where are we staying this week?" Andy asked.

"Animal Kingdom Lodge," Jenna answered as we were almost to Chicken Guy.

"Okay. What are the room assignments?" Leo questioned.

"Aurora, Persephone, Cole, myself, Kyra, Andy, and Klaus," Elijah said.

"Kate, Leo, myself, and Buffy," Finn answered.

"Jeremy, Rebekah, Kol and myself," Jenna told him as we got to Chicken Guy.

We walked into the restaurant and got in line before reading the menu. By the time we got in front, I already knew what I wanted to eat.

"Hello and welcome to Chicken Guy. What can I get for you?" A worker asked.

"Aurora, why don't you go first?" Elijah suggested.

"Hi, can I get the three tender combo with a sprite as well as Triple Double Mint Shake and a Mac Daddy Mac N' Cheese?" I ordered.

"Of course," the worker responded as she put my order in.

"Can I get the BBQ Chopped Chicken with natural Grilled chicken and an Oreo Shake?" Buffy ordered.

"Okay," the worker replied as she put the order in.

"Can I get the Southwestern combo with a sprite as well as a Chocolate Shake and the Mac Daddy Mac N' Cheese?" Cole ordered.

The worker nodded as she put the order in.

"And I will get the Mexican Street Corn Salad with a Vanilla Shake and a loaded Fries," Elijah ordered.

The worker nodded once more and put the order in before telling us the amount, and Elijah paid. Sometime later, our order arrived, and we went outside to eat our lunch. The others joined us with their orders, and we just started eating what we ordered. 

A half-hour later, we were done eating and were heading to our first shopping stop of the afternoon.

"What's our first stop?" Klaus asked.

"The Lego store," Kyra answered as we walked over to the Lego store and headed in.

After we walked in, we separated and looked around. 

Thirty minutes later, we had bought Personalised Mini Figures (Elijah, Cole, Buffy, Willow & Me) and a Brick Heads Harry Potter & Friends Lego Set. We headed outside to wait for the others.

"Aurora, I think Persephone fell asleep," Buffy voiced.

I looked down into the stroller to see that Buffy was right. Persephone had fallen asleep already.

"I guess you're right. It's a good thing," I responded. "Persephone was changed after she ate her lunch." 

"Where are we going next?" Buffy asked as the others joined us.

"We are going to the World of Disney," Kate answered as we started on our way to the next store.

When we got there, we walked in and separated once more. 

Thirty minutes later, Elijah, Cole, Buffy and I were done shopping. We bought a Home frame, an Angel Nuimo + Clothes set, a blue/gold Mickey Ears, Mickey Head with Castle Ornament, Tiana Crown Pin + Black Panther Pin, & a Wishables (me), and an Animal Magnet Shirt (Persephone). We also bought an 'Original Mickey' Shirt, Slinky Dog Ears, Thor Pin, a Wishables, & a Minnie Nuimo + Clothes set (Willow), an XOXO Mickey & Minnie Shirt, a Wishables, & Eyore Nuimo + Clothes Set (Buffy), a Captain America Pin (Elijah) and a Groot & Rocket Pin (Cole). After shopping, we headed outside to wait for the others like last time.

"So, where to next?" I asked.

"Basin, I believe," Rebekah said as she came out with Jenna, Jeremy and Kol.

"Yes, that is where we're going next," Finn voiced as he and the rest of our group came out.

"Let's head over," Kate said as we started on our way to our next stop.

When we got there, we separated and looked around. After a while, we bought a Belle Bath Bomb, an Elsa Bath Bomb, a Mickey Mouse Body Butter Cherry Watermelon & an Orange Vanilla Shea Salt Scrub (me), a Snow White Bath Bomb, an Olaf Bath Bomb, a Mickey Mouse Cherry Body Scrub & a Sugar Scrub (Willow), and a Sven/Kristoff Bath Bomb, an Minnie Mouse Bath Bomb & a Lavender Shea Salt Scrub (Buffy). After that, we waited for the others before taking awakened Persephone to change her diaper and feed her. Then we headed for Disney's Photo Pass to take some pictures. Sometime later, we bought the photos before heading out of the Photo Pass place.

"Where are we going?" Kyra asked.

"Disney Pin Traders," Elijah answered as we headed towards our next stop.

When we got to Pin Traders, we walked in and separated again to look around. After a while, we were done shopping. We had bought a Kingdom of Cute Mystery Pin Collection & a Four Coco Pin Set (me), a Four Lion King Pin Set (Willow), a Hercules Mystery Pin Set (Buffy) and two Marvel Mystery Pin Collection (Elijah & Cole). We headed out of the store with the others behind us.

"Where to next?" Andy asked.

"Once Upon A toy," Kate answered as she sighed. 

I could tell that she sighed because the question was asked once more.

We headed over to Once Upon A Toy.

When we got to Once Upon A Toy, we separated again before looking around, but it didn't take long to find what I wanted to get Persephone. I got a Dumbo Plush and a Doug Stork Bag Plush before we paid and checked out. We headed out of the store with the others before heading to Amorette's Patisserie. 

"Hello and Welcome to Amorette's Patisserie. What can I do you for?" the worker asked.

"Yes, can we get a Mickey Mousse, an Amorette's Petit Cake, a Carnel Sea Salt Eclaire, a Chocolate Eclaire and a Mickey Brownie?" Elijah ordered.

"Of course," the worker said as he put the order in and got our order together.

A little bit later, we were outside waiting for the others.

"Hey, Aurora," Buffy said.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"I think Persephone went back to sleep," Buffy voiced.

I looked down to see Persephone asleep once more.

"Let her sleep for now," Elijah said. "We'll get her up in when we get to the hotel."

"Ready to go?" Kate said as they joined us.

"Let's head to the cars," Cole voiced as we started on our way to the Orange Garage.

When we got to the cars, I got Persephone into her car seat and did the straps before handing the stroller over to Elijah.

"Here," I said as I handed over the stroller with the diaper bag.

"Go get in the car," Elijah replied as he kissed my cheek.

Buffy and I got into the car before closing the door. Cole joined us with the treats. Elijah put the bags, the stroller and the diaper bag into the trunk door before closing it. 

"How long do you think it will take?" Buffy asked.

"What to get there?" I questioned.

"Yeah," Buffy replied.

"About fifteen minutes give or take on traffic," I voiced as Elijah got into the car and started it.

Cole put the address to Animal Kingdom Lodge into the GPS. We were off to our Disney Adventure.

Chapter Text

Twenty-five minutes later, we were at Animal Kingdom Lodge. We took our luggage out of the car after Persephone was situated in her stroller.

"So, the room assignments once again are..." Klaus voiced. "Aurora, Persephone, Cole, Elijah, myself, Kyra and Andy."

"Kate, Leo, Buffy and myself," Finn told them.

"Jeremy, Rebekah, Buffy, Kol and myself," Jenna told us.

We headed into the Animal Kingdom Lodge with the stroller and our luggage/carry-on bags. 

We headed for the lobby to sit down as Elijah, Klaus, Finn, and Jenna checked in and got our room keys. 

"So, what are you going to do until dinner?" Kol asked.

"I'm going to get some more work done and planning," I voiced.

"I'm going to design some more dresses for homecoming," Kyra answered.

"I'm going to explore the pool," Buffy said.

"Me too," Rebekah voiced as Jeremy nodded.

"I'm going to get some more work done as well," Andy said.

"Me too," Kate voiced as the others joined us.

"Let's go see our rooms," Klaus said as we headed to our evaluators. 

When we got to our floor, Klaus opened the door, and we walked in with the bags and stroller. We walked into a living room/small kitchen with a sofa bed, circle table with chairs, microwave, and we assume a small fridge.

"So, anyone who doesn't want to wake up to crying baby in the middle of the night for feeding or a diaper change can sleep out here," I voiced as I walked into the bedroom with the stroller.

When I walked into the bedroom, I found two large queen-size beds and a pack and play for Persephone. 

"Aurora, we'll sleep in here with you," Kyra said as she came into the room with her luggage/carry-on.

"Are you sure?" I asked her.

"We'll help with feeding and changing during the night," Andy said as he joined us.

"Okay," I whispered as Cole came into the room and got the pack and play ready for Persephone. 

"Where are we eating dinner tonight?" Kyra asked.

"We're eating dinner at Boma," Klaus said as he entered the room.

Cole got the sleeping Persephone out of the stroller before changing her diaper and putting her down into the playpen. I laid her blanket over.

"We should change for dinner before doing, what we said we were doing before dinner," Kyra suggested.

"Good idea," I whispered.

I opened my luggage and got my dinner outfit out before laying my PJs on the bed. Kyra and I headed to the bathroom with our outfit bags, extension jewelry boxes/accessories container, laundry bags, and bathroom bags.

When we walked into the bathroom, we set our bathroom bags/extension jewelry boxes & accessories container onto the counter before laying out what we planned to wear. 

"Okay, who's first?" I questioned.

"You first, your the oldest," Kyra responded.

"Okay," I returned as I took off my hooped earrings, my protection necklace and bangles before placing them into the charmed jewelry box. "So, what kind of food do you think Boma would have?" I asked as I took off my scarf before putting it into the extension accessories container.

"African possibly and maybe some other choices," Kyra answered. 

I took my white tank top before placing it into my dirty extension laundry bag. I took off my sandals before putting them into the accessories container marked shoes.

"It would be good to try new foods," I voiced as I unbuttoned my pants and took them off before putting them into the laundry bag. 

"Hey, do you think it's weird we've been getting nauseous in the mornings and cravings like you did when you were pregnant with Persephone?" Kyra voiced.

"It's not like we're pregnant or pregnant again in my case," I returned as I emptied my purse of everything that was in it.

"If this keeps happening, we're going to have to go to the doctors," Kyra replied.

"We'll make an appointment," I told her. "When we get back to LA."

I got dressed into my blue dress with flowers before slipping on my grey heels and putting on my jean jacket. 

"Okay, then," Kyra said as I fixed my hair before putting my cellphone and sunglasses into the pink bag which was in the outfit bag for dinner. 

"Your turn," I replied as I put little lip gloss on.

Kyra took off all of her jewelry before putting them into her extension jewelry box. I watched as she took off her blue hat and put it into her accessories container marked hats. Kyra slipped off her shoes before putting them into her accessories extension container marked shoes. After that, she slipped her dress off before putting it into her dirty laundry extension bag. 

"Time to take off my makeup," Kyra said as she took off her makeup before getting into her clean tank top and light brown shorts. She fixed her hair before redoing her makeup. "Aurora, can you hand me flower earrings?" She asked me. 

"Of course," I responded as I handed her the red and purple flower earrings.

"What's missing?" Kyra questioned. 

I reached over and grabbed a necklace from her jewelry box. I knew it would match her outfit.

"Here," I replied before telling her. " Pull up your hair." I helped her put a claw necklace around her neck before doing it up.

"Thank you," Kyra responded before I handed her another piece of jewelry to match her outfit. "What's this?" She asked.

"A Lion King bracelet," I told her. "I found it in your jewelry box."

"It's perfect," Kyra voiced as she hugged me.

"Let's go and get some work done before dinner," I expressed before we headed out of the bathroom.

When we got to the bedroom, Klaus was sketching in his sketchbook. While Elijah, Cole, and Andy were working on their laptops. Kyra and I walked over to our carry-on bags before grabbing our laptops and their accessories. We headed into the living room to give the boys and Persephone some quiet.

"So, you're designing our dresses for homecoming," I voiced.

"Yep, what are you doing?" Kyra asked.

"Making sure my supplies that I ordered will be there by the time we get back to LA," I told her.

"What supplies?" Kyra questioned.

I opened my laptop and turned it on before showing her my designs to expand my business. I was planning on making jewelry and Wiccan stuff to sell.

"This is a great idea," Kyra said.

"I'm also planning to make these," I said as I brought up the other designs that I had planned.

The plans to make home decor and other wares.

"A third of the money will go into a bank account for Persephone, a third will go into my account, and the last third will go into charity," I told her.

"What about your music and book publishings?" Kyra questioned.

"They will be the same way," I voiced as I checked the shipment order before getting to work on the chapter I needed to finish.

"Where are you in your second book?" Kyra asked.

"Just about after Persephone was born," I told before getting back to work.

Kyra went to work on designing the dresses for homecoming.

A Slight Time Skip Later...

Persephone was up and fed her dinner, and it was time for our dinner. Andy got Persephone situated in her stroller before heading out the door and towards the evaluators. Five minutes later, we were down in the lobby and had met up with the others. 

"Did you guys have fun at the pool?" I asked them.

"Yeah, we did," Buffy voiced.

"I certainly enjoyed it," Kate stated.

"Let's head to Boma," Jenna voiced as we started on our way to Boma.

When we got there, Elijah told the hostess our reservation that the tables were under before we were seated. We were asked our drink order before Elijah offered to sit with Persephone as we headed to get our food first. I grabbed what I liked before heading back to sit down.

"You can go get your food Elijah," I told him.

"Thank you," Elijah said before kissing me on the cheek and heading to get his dinner.

"Hey, Aurora, what did you get?" Kyra asked as she sat down with her plate.

"I got the mac n' Cheese and Oak Roast Pork Ribs," I answered before asking. "You?"

"I got the Mac n' Cheese and the chicken bites," Kyra told me as the rest of our group joined us with their plates and sat down.

We started eating our dinner as well as talking about tomorrows day.

An hour later, we were done eating and were already back in the room. Klaus and Andy offered to bathe Persephone before bed. Kyra and I got our deserts out from Amorette's out of the fridge. After that, Kyra and I got out of our dining outfits before getting into our Pjs. I put my hair down as Kyra brushed hers.

"You girls ready to watch a movie," Cole asked us.

"What movie?" Kyra asked.

"I figured since we are at the animal kingdom, we could watch Lion King," Cole voiced.

"Let's put Persephone down first before we watch the movie," I returned.

"Good plan," Elijah said as he placed his arm around me. "I got the bottle already made and ready for bedtime."

"Thank you," I whispered before kissing his cheek.

"Here is one clean and dressed baby," Klaus said as he handed me Persephone.

"Thank you," I replied as Elijah handed me the warmed-up bottle.

I fed Persephone before burping her and putting her down to sleep with her soother and blanket.

"Nighty-night, my love," I whispered before turning out the light and putting the baby monitor on.

I headed out of the room before sitting down with the others. Cole turned on the movie before handing out the snacks.

Two hours later, the movie was done, and we were heading to bed. Kyra and I snuck into the room and got into the middle of our beds. While the boys took their turns and got ready for bed. A little while later, the boys joined us and we went right to sleep.

Time Skip

It was morning at Animal Kingdom Lodge. The girls, Jenna and I went to the fitness room this morning before heading back to our rooms for a quick shower. After showering, Kyra and I got ready for the day. 

"Aurora, you change first," Kyra said as she put her housecoat around her.

I put on my undergarments before slipping into my jean shorts and putting my brown tank top on. After that, I put my sweater on before getting into my flats. 

"Here, let me do your hair," Kyra said as she braided my hair to the side.

"Thank you," I replied.

"Your welcome," Kyra responded as I put my Magic Band on before putting my blue beaded necklace around my neck.

"Your turn," I voiced as I brushed my teeth.

Kyra handed me her housecoat before slipping into her navy tights and pulling on her grey button-up top. She buttoned it up before adding a belt to it. After that, she put on a pair of stud earrings and a handkerchief before putting on her brown boots. 

"Here," I said as I handed over her Magic Band and Mickey Ears.

"Thank you," Kyra replied before putting on her Ears and doing up her magic band.

We headed out of the bathroom with our dirty clothes before putting them into our extension laundry bag. Then we headed back into the living room, where Andy was feeding Persephone her breakfast.

"Morning," Klaus said as he looked up from his blood flask.

"So, this is how you vampires have been feeding while we've been on vacation," Kyra voiced.

"Yeah, basically," Elijah said. "I do mine during the night."

"Are we having breakfast here or at the park?" I asked.

"In the Park after our first ride of the day," Elijah answered.

"Is Persephone almost done eating?" Kyra asked.

"She is done, now," Andy said as he handed the bowl and spoon over to Klaus, who headed off to clean it.

"We also made bottles up for her while we are at the park," Elijah said.

"Thank you," I replied as I kissed his cheek.

Andy wiped Persephone's face clean of the cereal as Cole got her shoes on. 

"We ready to go?" Klaus questioned as he came back.

"Let's go," I replied as we headed out the door.

Five minutes later, we were down in the lobby and were waiting for the others to join us. A couple of minutes later, the others joined us, and we headed for the cars. When we got to the cars, we got Persephone situated in the car seat. I handed the stroller over to Elijah before getting into the car with Buffy. We were off to Disney's Animal Kingdom. 

Twelve minutes later, we were parked and heading to the park entrance. 

"Where are we going first?" Kate asked.

"We are heading to Kilimanjaro Safaris first," Klaus answered.

"Where are we having breakfast?" Buffy asked as we went through the bag check.

"You'll find out after the Safaris," Jenna responded.

We headed up and tapped our magic bands to the mickey button before walking right in. We grabbed a map from a booth before we headed on our way to our first stop of the day.

Fifteen minutes later, we were in Africa and were heading to Kilimanjaro Safaris. When we got there, we put our stroller in stroller parking. Elijah got Persephone out of the stroller before we got into line. We walked along paths before stopping and waiting for our turn to get on the truck. Sometime later, we were on our way to the safaris.

After Kilimanjaro Safaris, we placed Persephone back into the stroller before doing the straps.

"Time for breakfast," Klaus voiced as he led us to where we were eating.

"Where are we eating?" Kyra asked.

"We figured on our first day at Animal Kingdom, we would go to a character breakfast," Finn responded.

Not much later, we were in front of Tucker House before walking in.

When we walked in, we were asked if we had a reservation. Which we did before we were shown to our tables. We ordered our drinks before our breakfast family-style platters arrived. We ordered two Wild Strawberry Lemonades (Elijah & me), a Lava Smoothie (Kyra), and an All-natural Lemonade (Klaus). While Cole ordered a Specialty Character drink: a Minute Maid® Zero Sugar Lemonade with flavours of Cotton Candy served in a souvenir Character Cup]. A couple of minutes later, our breakfast family-style platters arrived, and we dug in.

"What did you get?" Kyra asked me.

"I got the Simba Waffles, Bacon, Sausages, Roasted Potatoes, Fresh Fruit with Honey Yogurt Sauce and a wild Strawberry Lemonade," I answered before asking. "You?"

"I got Simba Waffles, Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage Roasted Potatoes, Fresh Fruit with Honey Yogurt Sauce and a Lava Smoothie," Kyra told me.

We went back to eating and talking about today's activities.

An hour later, we were done eating and had taken pictures with Donald and his friends when they came by our table. We were heading to the Wildlife Express Train. When we got there, we walked into the line with the stroller. Twenty minutes later, we were on the train and waiting for it to go. Elijah took Persephone out of the stroller and held her up, so she could see what we could see. Moments later, the train started, and we were on our way.

A Short Time Skip Later...

We were off the train and were heading towards the Conservation Station. When we walked into the conservation station area, we separated and looked around. Elijah, Cole, Persephone and I looked at the different animal paintings. 

"This is a lion," I told Persephone as I pointed to lion painting before continuing.

After looking at the pictures, we met Rafiki from the Lion King. We got a photo taken with him. He also signed our Disney autographs book that Elijah had bought before our trip. 

"What do you want to look at next?" Elijah asked as Persephone looked around the room.

"Why don't we look over there?" I voiced as I pointed towards the area of the windows.

We headed to look around at the windows that held some animals in aquariums and the veterinary rooms. We saw snakes and other creatures before heading outside to the affection section.

When we got outside, Persephone reached for Cole to hold her. 

"Looks like your hands are free now," I said as Elijah handed Persephone over to Cole.

"Yeah, it seems that way," Elijah replied as he took my hand in his.

We headed to wash our hands before petting the animals. After washing our hands, we petted pigs, goats and other creatures. The animals, for some reason, felt drawn to Persephone. 

"Did you think Persephone has another gift?" Cole questioned as he washed Persephone's hands before handing her over to me.

"I'm starting to think that," I responded as I took her.

"I believe that as well. I noticed the animals at SeaWorld was coming closer to her without being a threat," Elijah voiced.

"What's going on?" Kyra asked as she, Klaus and Andy came over.

"We believe Persephone has some type of gift with animals," I told her.

"That's quite possible," Andy said as we started on our way to the train station.

Another Slight Time Skip Later...

We were back in Africa, and it was lunchtime.

"Where are we eating lunch?" Kate asked.

"Harambe Market & Harambe Fruit Market," Klaus answered.

"I want to try the Grilled Corn on the Cob with African Spices," I voiced.

"Me too," Kyra responded.

We walked over to the Harambe Fruit market first. When we got there, we ordered our Grilled Corn on the Cob. Some with African Spices and some without before heading to the Harambe Market.

After we got there, we mobile ordered our lunch before sitting down at a table and waiting for our food to be done. I grabbed a bowl, spoon and baby food out of Persephone's diaper bag before getting it ready. I fed her as Cole, Klaus and Elijah headed to get our food as it was ready.

"How's the corn?" I asked Kyra as she and Andy took a bite of their corn.

"It's good," Kyra answered as I picked up my grilled corn on the cob before taking a bite.

"Mm, spicy and good," I voiced as I moaned in delight.

"The rest of our food is ready," Cole said as he, Klaus and Elijah sat down the trays on the table before sitting down themselves.

"Here, let me finish feeding her," Elijah said as he took the spoon and bowl from my hand. "You eat."

I grabbed what I ordered before going back to my Grilled Corn on the Cob with African Spices.

"Hey, Aurora. What did you get?" Buffy asked as she looked over at us.

"I got the Grilled Corn on the Cob with African Spices at the Harambe Fruit Market, and here I got French Fries, a Frozen Flamingo & a Simba Cupcake," I answered.

"That sounds good," Kate voiced.

We went back to eating before we headed to change Persephone's diaper and put her down for a nap.

After Persephone was changed, fed a bottle and fell asleep, we headed to Zuri's Sweet Shop. When we got there, we walked in and separated into our groups. We bought animal crackers boxes, African Spices Flavoured Popcorn bags, Harissa Flavoured Popcorn Bags, and some other treats to eat while we shopped.

"Where to next?" Kate asked.

"Zwiani's Traders," Klaus answered.

We started our way to our next shop.

When we got there, we separated into our groups and looked around. Twenty minutes later, we had bought a lot of medallions, a Mickey Explorer Plush and Personalized Leather bracelets.

"Where are we going next?" Leo asked.

"We are heading for Tamu Tamu Refreshments," Klaus answered.

We walked towards our first snack area.

When we got to Tamu Tamu Refreshments, we got in line and looked at the menu. A little while later, we were putting our order in.

"Hi, what can I get for you?" a cast member asked.

"Hi, we would like two Scar's Lair, two Simba Sunsets, one Dole Whip Pineapple Float with Sprite, and one Dole Whip Pineapple Cup," Elijah ordered.

The cast member told us the amount. Elijah paid before getting our order together.

"I can't wait until Persephone's old enough to have and what we're having," I told Kyra.

"Me too," Kyra responded as our orders came in.

Elijah and Klaus passed them out before we started on our way to find somewhere to sit and eat.

A little while later, we had found a spot to eat and sat down.

"So, where are we going after this?" Jeremy asked.

"We are doing one more shop stop before heading to the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail," Jenna answered as I took a bite of my Simba sunset. 

"Mm, I was craving this for some reason," I muttered.

I really think I'm pregnant again. I mean, I've been nauseous and having cravings. I also believe I haven't had my period.

"So, what store?" Rebekah asked.

"I believe Mombassa Marketplace for before Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail, and then to pick today's pictures," Finn answered.

We went back to eating and talking about our visit.

After we were done eating, Persephone had woke up from her nap. Elijah had taken her to get a diaper change before feeding her a bottle of formula.

"Next stop, Mombassa Marketplace," Kyra voiced as we headed to our next store.

Fifteen minutes later, we were at Mombassa Marketplace. We walked in and looked around. 

Sometime later, we had bought a Tree of Life Mug, two Animal Kingdom T-shirts, and a Giraffe Pattern Mickey Ears. We walked out of the store and waited for the others to join us.

"So, off to Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail," Rebekah voiced as the others joined us before we continued our way.

Ten minutes later, we were in front of the trail. 

"Let's go see some Gorillas," Kol stated as we started our way into the trail.

A Slight time skip later...

We were out of the trail and were heading towards where we would pick up today's pictures. When we got to the Camera store, Elijah, Finn, and Jenna walked in and came out with a CD, each filled with our pictures.

"Let's head back to cars," Klaus said as we started our way out of Animal Kingdom.

Ten minutes later, we were back at the hotel. Buffy and I got out of the car before walking around to the trunk and Persephone's car door. Elijah handed over the stroller before I got Persephone out of her car seat and into the stroller.

"So free time and our choices for dinner," Klaus voiced as I did up the straps.

"What does that mean?" Jeremy asked.

"It means each room group decides where they are eating dinner," Jenna answered as we headed into the hotel and towards our evaluators.

Sometime later, we were back in the room. Kyra was taking a shower as Persephone had tummy time with Elijah and Cole. Klaus and Andy were doing their own thing. I was putting away things that we had bought in their bags. I pulled a box out of each personalized bag before placing a medallion in each box. 

"Who wants to shower?" Kyra asked as she came out in her PJs.

"I'll go," I responded as I walked into the bedroom. 

I grabbed my Pjs before walking into the bathroom. 

When I got into the bathroom, I closed the door before undressing. I took off my magic band, necklace, and Claddagh ring. I let out my hair before jumping into the shower. I quickly showered before getting out and dressing. I blowed dried my hair before slipping my Claddagh ring back on and putting the necklace into my spelled jewelry box. I grabbed my dirty clothes before heading back to the bedroom. When I got into the bedroom, I put dirty clothes into the spelled laundry bag and grabbed my laptop before heading back to the living room.

"Hey, what do you want for dinner?" Elijah asked as I walked into the living room and sat my laptop down on the tv stand.

"Why? Where are we ordering dinner?" I questioned.

"The Mara, we thought we would order dinner and eat in the room," Andy answered.

"Okay," I voiced as Elijah handed me his phone.

I ordered the Chicken Strips with a side of french fries, a gold Peak Unsweetened Ice Tea Bottle, a Flamingo Cake, a Zebra Domes, Zebra Cupcake, and a Nyala Brownie.  

"Here," I said as I handed over the phone.

"Now, I just have to put my order in," Elijah said as he put his order in before hitting the order button.

"Okay. Who's going to get dinner?" Kyra questioned.

"We will," Klaus answered.

"We'll feed Persephone then," I voiced as the boys started out the door.

Kyra grabbed a bowl and a spoon out of the diaper bag before getting a jar of homemade baby food out of the fridge. I picked Persephone off the floor and placed her into the stroller before doing the straps up.

"I'll feed her this time," Kyra said as she sat in front of Persephone. "It's auntie's turn."

She began to feed her as I looked for a movie on Disney Plus for us to watch. Twenty minutes later, the boys returned with our dinner order. 

"Did you boys grab condiments and forks?" Kyra asked.

"Yes, we did," Cole voiced as he set the bag down on the table.

The boys laid out the food as I hooked up the stroller toy for Persephone to play with while we ate. 

"So, what movie are we watching tonight?" Andy asked.

"We're watching Jungle Book," Kyra answered.

We ate dinner before I bathed Persephone. Cole changed her diaper before Elijah got her ready for bed. I laid her down into the playpen before laying the blanket down and shutting off the lights.

"Night, my love," I whispered before heading out of the room.

When I got back into the living room, Klaus pressed play on the movie, and we started to watch Jungle Book. 

Two hours later, the movie was done, and it was time for bed. I got and stretched before heading to the bathroom with Kyra to brush our teeth.

"Aurora, what's the plan tomorrow?" Kyra asked in a hushed tone.

"Well, we're going on the Flight of Passage tomorrow and Na'vi River Journey," I responded as I brushed my teeth. 

Kyra nodded as she rinsed her mouth. I followed suit before rinsing my toothbrush and walked out of the room.

When we got back into the bedroom, Kyra and I separated and went to our beds. We got in and headed for the middle. 

"Night, Aurora," Kyra whispered.

"Night, Kyra," I whispered back as I turned over and closed my eyes.

I felt the bed move as Cole and Elijah joined me.

"Night, Rory," Cole whispered as I felt a kiss on my cheek.

"Night, darling," Elijah said in a hushed tone as I felt another kiss on my cheek.

A couple of moments later, I fell asleep in the arms of my loves.

Time Skip

It was morning as I woke to the bright light. I got up in bed and stretched before seeing that the boys weren't there. I looked over at Kyra as she got up and yawned. 

"Morning, Aurora," Kyra said as we got out of bed. 

"Morning," I replied as I walked over to the playpen to see that Persephone wasn't there.

I found a note on the table nearest to the playpen.

Girls,

Persephone is with us. 

We're going to get breakfast.

See You Soon.

Elijah, Cole, Klaus & Andy

"The Boys have Persephone and are getting breakfast," I voiced as I walked over to my luggage and grabbed today's outfit bag.

"We should get dressed," Kyra responded as she grabbed her outfit.

We headed for the bathroom.

When we got into the bathroom, we opened today's outfit bags before opening our spelled jewelry/accessories containers. 

"You dress first," Kyra voiced.

"Okay," I replied as I pulled out my outfit for the day.

I undressed out of my PJs before putting on clean undergarments and slipping into my creme-coloured jeans. I put on the blue button-up top before buttoning it up, then put on my brown boots before tying them. I took my necklace from the jewelry box and put it on before putting my magic band on. I put on my red cooling scarf before putting my sunglasses, cellphone and other things into my side bag. 

"Here, I'll do your hair," Kyra said as she took my brush before asking. "What's your plan for your hair?" 

"Down but pulled back some," I replied as I handed her a hair elastic.

"Okay," Kyra responded as she got to work.

A couple of minutes later, she was done with my hair and was getting ready herself. She undressed out of her PJs before putting on her undergarments and slipping into her creme-coloured shorts. She put on her yellow top before getting into sandals and doing the straps. She took out her monkey necklace and cheetah print ring before putting them on. She lastly put on her magic band before turning to me.

"Can you help me with my hair?" Kyra asked.

"Yes, what would you like?" I responded with a question.

"A side-braid," Kyra voiced as she handed me her brush.

"Left or Right?" I questioned.

"Right," Kyra answered as I started to brush her hair before doing her side braid.

"What do you think?" I voiced as I finished her hairstyle.

"It's perfect," Kyra said as she put her phone, sunglasses and anything else she needed for the day at the park. 

"Did you make that jewelry?" I questioned as I looked at the jewelry that she was wearing.

I put my hat on and grabbed my bag.

"Yeah, I did," Kyra responded as we grabbed our dirty clothes and headed back into the bedroom.

When we walked into the bedroom, we put our dirty laundry into our extension lightweight bags. Then headed out of the bedroom to the living room to see the boys laying out breakfast as Persephone played with her stroller toys.

"Morning," Kyra and I said as we walked over to the table.

"Morning," Klaus and Andy said as they walked over to Kyra and kissed her.

"Morning," Elijah and Cole replied as they came over to me and took turns kissing me.

"Did Persephone eat breakfast?" I asked.

"She did, and she had a bottle. We made bottles and grabbed baby food for lunch at the park," Cole said as they led me over to the table with the food laid out.

"What did you get for breakfast?" Kyra questioned.

"We got Savana Platters for Elijah and me, one croissant Breakfast Sandwich for Andy, three Mickey Waffles Combos for you, Aurora and Cole," Klaus answered. "We also got Extra Bacon, Extra Breakfast Potatoes, and Extra Sausage. For drinks, we got Hot tea with milk & Sugar for Aurora, Hot Tea for Elijah, a Simple Smoothie Strawberry Banna for you and Coffee for Andy, Cole and Myself."

I grabbed my Mickey Waffles, Bacon, sausage, and breakfast potatoes before sitting down next to Persephone in her stroller.

"Here," Elijah said as he handed me my tea.

We all began eating our breakfast and talking about today's activities.

Thirty minutes later, we were done eating breakfast. I put the already made bottles and baby food into the diaper bag before putting on my hat. I put sunscreen on myself before doing Persephone's.

"Okay, already," I voiced as I got Persephone back into the stroller and did the straps up.

"Me too," Kyra responded.

"Okay, off to the cars," Klaus stated as we headed out of the room with the stroller.

Five minutes later, we were down in the lobby and met up with the others.

"What did you guys do for breakfast?" Kate asked.

"The boys ordered from the Mara," I answered as we headed out of the hotel.

When we got to the cars, Elijah unlocked the car as Klaus got Persephone situated into her car seat before closing the door. Buffy got into the car as I followed her with my tea. I turned to look towards the trunk to see Elijah putting the diaper bag and stroller into the trunk before closing the door.

"Okay, are everyone's seatbelt on," Cole asked as he got in and did his seatbelt.

"Yes," Buffy and I voiced as Elijah got into the car and started it.

We were off to Animal Kingdom.

Ten minutes later, we were at Animal Kingdom and were heading to Pandora. 

"So, what are we doing first?" Buffy asked.

"We are doing Flight of Passage," Klaus answered as we headed towards the ride.

"Who's staying with Persephone?" I asked.

"I will be," Finn answered.

"You don't want to go on the ride?" Kate questioned.

"No, but I will go on the other Pandora ride," Finn responded as he took the stroller from me.

We headed and got in line. Thirty-five minutes later, we were in front of the line and were wearing our 3D glasses. Moments later, we were on the ride vehicles and were off to the world of Avatar.

After the ride, we headed to Pongu Pongu as some of our group were still hungry from breakfast. We looked at the menu before ordering. 

"Hi, what can I get for you?" a cast member asked.

"Can we get French Toast Sticks, four Pongu Lumpia and four Night Blossom?" Elijah ordered.

"Of course," the cast member responded as she put the order in.

The cast member told us the amount before Elijah paid. The cast member got everything ready before handing it over. Elijah handed me my Night Blossom and French Toast Sticks before handing over the other's order. We walked away to eat before our next ride. 

Thirty minutes later, we were done eating our after breakfast snack and were heading to stroller parking to park our stroller. Cole activated notice me not spell on the stroller after Persephone was out of the stroller. 

"Guys, we have to go. Our fast pass is in ten minutes," Jenna voiced as we started our way to the fast pass line.

When we got to the Fastpass line, we tapped our bracelets to mickey's ears and lit up green before heading down the queue line. 

Thirty minutes later, we were in front of the line waiting for our turn on the ride vehicles. Elijah was with Persephone and me, while Cole was with Buffy. A couple of minutes later, our ride vehicles were here before the doors opened.

"Ladies first," Elijah said as the doors opened.

I walked with Persephone onto the ride vehicle and sat her up in my lap as Elijah sat down next to us.

"You ready?" I asked him.

"Yes, this is the second ride of our visit," Elijah said as the ride began to move.

We were off to another journey into the world of Avatar.

After the ride, we headed back to stroller parking as Cole took off the notice me not spell. 

"Okay, where to next?" Rebekah asked as I placed Persephone back into the stroller before doing up the straps.

"I saw some interactive areas. We could try them out before we eat lunch," Jeremy suggested.

We headed over to the interactive areas and some fun before heading to Satu'il Canteen.

Twenty minutes later, we were at the Satu'il Canteen and sitting around the table as we waited for our mobile order to be ready. 

"It's ready," Klaus voiced as he looked up from his phone.

"Same here," Jenna said as Elijah nodded in agreement.

"We'll go get lunch," Elijah told us as he, Jenna and Klaus got up with their phones before leaving the table.

"I'll feed Persephone," Cole said as he got the baby food out of the diaper bag with a bowl and spoon.

We watched as he got the food ready before starting to feed her.

"So, where are we shopping today?" Rebekah questioned.

"Windtraders," I voiced.

"Hey, what did you order?" Jeremy asked us as Klaus, Jenna, and Klaus walked over with the food orders.

"Okay," Klaus said as he, Jenna, and Elijah set the foods down.

"Aurora's Cheeseburger Pods and Pandoran Sunrise," Elijah said as he handed me my lunch.

"Kyra's Cheeseburger Pods and Pandoran Sunrise," Klaus voiced as he handed Kyra her lunch.

They continued handing over each other's lunch orders until they had their own and sat down.

"So, only one shopping adventure today," Jenna voiced.

"What are we doing after the shopping?" Leo questioned.

"We are going to Nomad Lounge, then the discovery trail, and finally taking in a show," Elijah answered.

"What show?" Andy asked.

"We are seeing It's a Bugs Life," Finn answered.

We started eating and talking about the rest of the day. 

An hour later, we were done eating and had changed Persephone's diaper before giving her a bottle for naptime. Now, we're heading to our first shopping experience in Pandora. A little while later, we walked into Windtraders before separating into our groups and looking around.

"Kyra, who do you have to buy for?" I asked her.

"I have Cordelia, you?" Kyra responded. "And Myself, of course."

"Willow, Persephone and myself," I voiced. "Elijah has Giles, and Cole has A-Angel."

"Don't worry, we'll find a way for him to return to us," Kyra told me.

We started to look around the store.

Thirty minutes later, we were done shopping at Windtraders. We had bought a Born to Fly White Hoodie, a Pandora Photo Frame, & a Banshee Ornament (me), Avatar Horse Plush (Persephone), a Pink Pandora T-shirt (Willow), Avatar headband Ears with Headpiece (Kyra), and two different types of Pandora mugs. We headed out of the store and found a spot to sit.

"So, off to Nomad Lounge for something to eat," Kate said as the rest of our group joined us.

"Yes," Elijah voiced as we started our way to Nomad Lounge.

Fifteen minutes later, we were at Nomad Lounge and were waiting for our turn to be shown our tables. A little while later, we were shown our tables. Kyra, Klaus, Andy, Elijah, Cole, Persephone and I were outside. Which gave us some view of seeing riverboats with characters come by. 

"Hello, what can we get for you today?" a cast member asked.

"I'll have the churros and Zingiber Fizzie," I answered.

"I'll have the churros and Kiama Mamma," Kyra voiced.

"I'll have the Mandazi and Happy Macaque," Cole stated.

"I'll have the Tiffens bread service and Tealeaves Passion Fruit Vanilla Flavored Iced Tea," Elijah replied.

"I'll have the Impossible Sliders and Hibiscus Henna," Andy told the cast member.

"I'll have the Mandazi and Joffrey's™ Coffee Ethiopia Natural," Klaus ordered.

"Okay, two orders of churros, two orders of Mandazi, one order of Tiffen's bread service, one order of Impossible Sliders," the Cast member repeated before repeating our drink order. "One Zingiber Fizzie, one Kiama Mamma, one Happy Macaque, one Tealeaves Passion Fruit Vanilla Flavored Iced Tea, one Hibiscus Henna, and one Joffery's Coffee Ethiopia Natural."

"Yes, that's correct," I voiced before she left to put our order in.

"So, what's the plan after this?" Kyra questioned as we heard a cry from Persephone.

"Oh, Persephone's awake," I voiced as I rolled the stroller in front of me. "Hello, my love, did you have a good sleep?" As I undid the straps before picking her up and out of the stroller. "Oh." I reacted as I felt a wet diaper.

"What is it?" Elijah questioned.

"Wet diaper," I voiced.

"I'll go change her," Elijah said as he raised her arms to take her. 

"Okay. Are you sure?" I replied.

"Yeah, you sit and talk. I'll change Persephone," Elijah said as I handed her over before giving her the diaper bag.

"So, I heard that you're adding to your business. What are your plans?" Klaus asked as Elijah walked off with Persephone and diaper bag

"Wiccan protection objects, jewelry, homewares and some other stuff," I told him.

"That sounds good," Andy voiced.

We continued to talk as we waited for our food and drink. A little while later, Elijah came back with a clean Persephone. 

"Persephone has been changed, and I warmed up a bottle of formula," Elijah said as he handed me Persephone before he handed me the bottle.

I started to feed her as our food and drinks arrived.

"Here you go," the cast member said as he sat the food and drinks down on the table.

"Here, let me finish feeding her," Cole said as he took Persephone and the bottle from me.

I grabbed my drink and my churros before starting to eat.

"Mm, these are good," Kyra voiced after she took a bite from her dipped churro.

"I agree," I moaned.

We went back to eating as Cole finished feeding Persephone before burping her and getting right to eating.

Over two hours later, we had finished eating and did some wilderness explorer activities before putting Persephone for another nap and walking through Discovery Island. Thirty minutes after that, she woke up for another diaper change and was ready for the show we were going to see. 

"Last stop before picking up dinner," Elijah voiced.

"I believe she might like the show," I stated.

"Me too," Cole responded.

We put the stroller in stroller parking before getting Persephone out of the stroller and got into line. 

Thirty minutes later, we were in front of the line and were being let in to sit down. A couple of minutes later, the show had begun, and we were off to the world of a Bugs life.

Twenty minutes later, the show was done, and we had got the stroller before heading to Flame Tree Barbecue. As we walked towards the restaurant, our room group took turns putting our order before hitting send and paying for it. When we got to Flame Tree Barbecue, Elijah had hit the 'We are here' button to get them to the order ready. Ten minutes later, our order was ready to go. Elijah, Klaus, Andy and Cole picked up our order before we headed out of the park with it to the cars.

"Okay, there is a heating spell on our food," Cole told us as I got Persephone situated into her car seat before doing the straps.

"Let's get into the car," I responded. "And back to the hotel."

We all got into the cars before heading back to the hotel.

Fifteen minutes later, we were back at the hotel and were back in the room. The boys laid out the food orders and drinks while Kyra and I got Persephone's dinner ready.

"I'll feed Persephone tonight," Andy voiced. "My turn with Uncle and niece time."

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yeah, the spell is still on the food until who ordered what starts to eat," Andy stated.

"Come on, darling," Elijah said as he took my hand in his. "Let's eat."

He led me towards the table where the food and drinks were on.

"What did you order?" Klaus asked.

"I ordered the Macaroni & Cheese with Pulled Pork, Coleslaw, Onion Rings, French Fries," I answered as Klaus handed me my food order. "And a Tropical Breeze." Before being given my drink.

I walked over to the coffee table and set down my food and drink as I waited for the others to join us.

"Elijah, you ordered the Ribs & Chicken Combo with Signature Baked Beans, Coleslaw," Klaus voiced as he handed over Elijah's order. "And a Twinning London Hot Tea." He handed over his tea.

Elijah came over and sat with me before sitting his food down start to eat. I joined him in eating my dinner.

"Cole, you ordered St. Louis Rib Dinner with Beans, Coleslaw, French Fries, and Frozen Mango Slushy," Klaus stated as he handed over Cole's order.

Cole joined Elijah and me as we continued eating.

"Kyra's order was Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich topped with Coleslaw, Signature Baked beans, Onion Rings Basket," Klaus said before kissing Kyra's lips. "And a Frozen Raspberry Slushy." He handed over Kyra's order.

"What's your order?" Kyra asked him.

"1/2 Chicken with Signature Baked Beans, Coleslaw, and a Joffrey's Coffee," Klaus answered.

"Andy, what did you get?" I asked before taking a sip of Tropical Breeze."

"I got the Smokehouse Chicken Salad. It has pulled chicken on top of Mixed Greens Salad tossed with Smoked Cheddar, Diced Granny Smith Apples, Dried Cranberries..." Andy responded before continuing. "Cornbread Croutons, Crispy Onions, and Barbecue-Ranch Dressing on it. To drink, I got a Sprite."

The rest of us went back to eating as Andy finished feeding Persephone the baby food before wiping her face and hands. He attached her stroller toy to the stroller before getting his food and started to his dinner.

An hour later, we were done eating and were starting Persephone's Evening Routine. Elijah was bathing her as I got out her Sleeper, mittens, soother and blanket. A little while later, Cole gave her a clean diaper before doing a body massage and handing her over to me. I dressed her before reading her 'Cat in the Hat.'

"There, now it's time for your bottle," Elijah said as he took Persephone from me as I warmed up her bottle.

"Here," I replied as I handed over the warmed bottle.

"I can't believe how big she's gotten," Cole voiced as he put his arms around me.

"Me either," I responded as we watched her drink from the bottle.

Twenty minutes later, she was done drinking her formula and was burped. I took her from Elijah and headed into the bedroom with Kyra behind me.

"Now, it's time for bed, my love," I whispered as I laid her down into the playpen before giving Persephone her soother. "My dear Persephone, may your dreams take flight." I laid the blanket down her before turning on the noise machine and turning out the lights. 

Kyra and I grabbed our PJs for the night before heading into the bathroom.

When Kyra and I got into the bathroom, we took turns undressing, showering and getting ready for bed.

"Night, Aurora," Kyra said as we walked out of the bathroom and into the dark bedroom.

"Night," I replied as I put my dirty clothes into the laundry bag.

We both got into our beds before getting into the middle. I turned towards the playpen where Persephone was sleeping before closing my eyes. The boys joined us sometime later as I started to fall asleep. I felt two kisses on my cheek before I drifted off to sleep.

One Giant Time Skip Later...

Dear Diary,

Day 25/3rd Day at Animal Kingdom (August 1st)- Kyra and I had awakened early. We worked out at the fitness area. We had headed back to the room to find it empty and another note from the others. We showered and dressed before the others returned with breakfast. After eating, we headed to the park. We headed straight for Maharajah Jungle Trek. We got to see Tigers before walking along paths back into the rest of the park. After that, we got to see some Gibbon Monkeys before putting Persephone down for her first nap of the day. While Persephone was napping, Jenna stayed with her as we went on Kali River Rapids. Persephone woke at 10, so she had a diaper change and was fed before we did some Wilderness Explorer before our Fastpass at Expedition Everest.

After eating ice cream, Persephone woke after sleeping for an hour and thirty minutes. Elijah changed her diaper before feeding her a bottle of formula. Then we headed to see Kitetails. I could tell that Persephone enjoyed the show as she kept reaching out towards the kites. After Kitetails, we put Persephone down for another nap while we headed to our dinner spot to pick up dinner. We picked up Baked Macaroni & Cheese (Elijah & Klaus), Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Pulled Pork (Andy, Cole, Kyra & me), and our favourite fountain drinks. After that, we headed back to the hotel with dinner as Persephone napped. Fifteen minutes later, we were back at the hotel. By the time we got back into our room, Persephone's nap #3 was almost over. We ate our early dinner before getting Persephone's bottle ready. Persephone had woken by the time we had gotten her bottle ready. We changed her diaper before feeding the bottle. After that, we played a bit before doing tummy time. Then she had her dinner before her evening bedtime routine. We read Dr. Suess's Horton Hatches An Egg before giving her a bottle and laying her down to sleep. The boys headed downstairs to get some movie night treats before watching UP. After the movie, we got ready for bed and went to sleep.

Day 26/Final Day at Animal Kingdom (August 2nd)- Persephone is 6 Months Old Today! We did a milestone stone blanket picture with Persephone before heading out to the park for our last day at Animal Kingdom. We got breakfast at Creature Comforts.

Elijah and Andy got Hot Teas while Cole and Klaus got coffee. I can't remember what they got to eat. After eating, we did the Tricera Topspin with Persephone before putting her down for a nap. Elijah stayed with her while we went on Dinosaur. After the ride, she had awakened, been changed and was fed before we headed to Fossil Fun Games. We played the carnival games and won our prizes except for one carnival game. After playing with the games, we headed to Resturantosaurus for lunch. We had mobile ordered our food. I got the kids 4 Piece Chicken Breast Nuggets [French Fries, Cuties Mandarin, Bug-shaped Graham Crackers, & small milk] & Vanilla Shake.

After shopping there, we stepped back into the rain and headed for Dino Bites Snacks. Kyra and I got Ice Cream Sandwiches [Vanilla Ice Cream served between Freshly Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies]. Kyra and I also got ice cream floats, one with coca-cola (Kyra) & one with rootbeer (me). The boys got Strawberry Handscooped Ice Cream in a waffle cone (Elijah), an Old Fashioned Hot Fudge Sundae (Andy), and an Ice Cream Sandwich (Cole). 

After Snacking on ice cream, we headed for the Festival of Lion King as Persephone woke up. We changed her diaper and fed her at the Baby Center before heading to the Festival of Lion King. We watched the Festival of Lion before doing more of the Wilderness Explorer and walking through the discovery Island trails again. Persephone was put down for her third nap before we headed to the next store of our stay. Our next store was called island mercantile. We had bought Minnie Mouse T-shirt for Persephone, she'll have to grow into it. We also got a Minnie Park Pal (Willow), a Minnie Mouse Mug & Photo Frame (Cordelia), and Mickey Mug (Giles). After the rain had stopped and we were heading for Discovery Trading Company. We picked up a Disney Mom T-shirt, a Baby Yoda Tumblr, and a couple of Disney notebooks before Persephone woke from her nap. We changed her diaper and fed her before heading to Riverside Depot. We got a Chip Mug, a Be Our Guest Throw, Animal Kingdom Frame, Most Magical Place On Earth Album & a Beauty & the Beast Notebook (me), and Pua Stork Plush (Persephone). We also bought a Belle Mug, a Beauty & The Beast Notebook & Another Numios Clothing Set (Willow), a stitch Mug (Kyra), and a Numios Clothing Set (Cordelia). The boys got some Mugs. After shopping, we mobile ordered from Pizzafari before heading to Garden Gifts to pick up pictures and headed back to the hotel. When we got back to the hotel, we had some downtime with Persephone. I believe she's almost ready to crawl. Thank goodness our apartment is baby-proof. When it was dinner time, we ate our pizza while I fed Persphone her baby food. After eating, we did the evening routine before feeding her a bottle of formula and putting her down to sleep. We watched a Dinosaur movie before getting ready for bed and going to sleep.

Day 27/Blizzard Beach (August 3rd)- We had late breakfast before getting ready and heading to Blizzard Beach. Persephone was napping when we got to the Water park. We headed to cabanas before getting out of our clothes. Us girls had our bathing suits underneath our clothes, and the boys had to take off their tops. Cole and Jenna stayed behind as Persephone was still napping. Elijah, Kyra, Kate, Andy, Leo and me did the snow Stormers first before heading to the Cooling Hut for some frozen treats. Then we headed back to the cabanas to check on Persephone. When we got there, Persephone was awake and getting fed a bottle. After feeding Persephone, we waited thirty minutes before taking Persephone to the Cross Country Creek. Elijah had Persephone in a baby lifejacket as we went around inner tubs. Persephone enjoyed being in the water as we floated by. We played in the Tike's peak with Persephone on my lap. She was splashed in the water and laughing as she did it.

An hour later, we had lunch, and Persephone needed another nap. Elijah and Cole dried Persephone off before getting her out of her water clothes, swimming diaper, and into a dry diaper. I dried her water clothes with my heating power before putting her down for nap #2. While Persephone napped, Elijah and I worked on our computers as we waited. I worked on designing dessert orders as Elijah did business. An hour and thirty minutes later, Persephone woke, and Elijah changed her diaper as I got her bottle ready. I fed her before Elijah got her back into her water clothes. We waited thirty minutes before heading back to Tike's peak for some more splashing and fun. The rest of the day was fun. Persephone had a 30-minute nap as we headed back to the hotel for some quiet before dinner. After dinner, we did tummy time before the evening routine before feeding her a bottle and putting her down for sleep. We watched Ice Age before going to bed.

Day 28/2nd Day at Blizzard Beach (August 4th)- We had another late breakfast after getting ready and headed to Blizzard Beach. Persephone was napping when we got to the Water park. We headed to cabanas before getting out of our clothes. Us girls had our bathing suits underneath our clothes, and the boys had to take off their tops. The girls and I stayed behind this time while Persephone slept. When she woke up, I changed her diaper before feeding her. We had some fun before lunch and nap #2. After nap #2, we had some more fun splashing around. Then, we headed back early for packing and some downtime before dinner and bed. We watched Lion King 2 before going to bed.

Today is Check-out day. 

A*

I closed my journal before putting it into the carry-on. I looked down to see Persephone doing tummy time with Klaus.

"It's time to go," Kyra said.

"Yeah, we have to check out before going to Zawadi Marketplace for one last shopping trip at Animal Kingdom," I voiced.

Klaus got up with Persephone before putting her into the stroller and doing up the straps. We grabbed our luggage and bags before heading out of our room one last time.

Ten minutes later, we were in the lobby before checking out. The boys and Jenna took the bags and luggage to the car with a cart with the bags. The girls and I walked through the Zawadi Marketplace. Forty minutes later, Kyra walked over to me.

"Aurora, did you find something?" Kyra asked as I noticed Kyra had a mickey with a binocular photo frame and Animal Print scrunchies.

"Yeah, Animal Kingdom Lodge Mug, Animal Kingdom Magnet, an Animal Kingdom Lodge Tervis Tumble," I answered. "And I'm getting a Personalized Name Art done for Persephone."

We walked over to the Personalized Name Art to pick up Persephone's Name Art and receipt before walking over to the cashier desk. I paid for mine and Kyra's things before heading outside with the stroller and bags.

"So, where are we eating lunch today?" Kate asked as she came out of the store with Buffy and Rebekah behind her.

"I think we're eating at Cooks of Dublin," I voiced as three SUVs pulled up.

Cole jumped out and grabbed my shopping bag.

"Ladies, are you ready to go?" Klaus asked as he got out of his SUV.

"Yep, all done shopping," Kyra answered as we walked towards the cars with the stroller.

I opened Persephone's side door before unbuckling her straps and picking her up. I gently placed her into her car seat before doing the straps up. I pulled the UV protection down on the window before closing the door and handing the stroller over to Cole. Buffy and I got into the car before Cole joined us.

"Aurora, what did you get?" Elijah asked me.

"You'll see when we get to the hotel," I voiced as Cole got back into the car.

"Next stop, Disney Springs," Cole stated as Elijah started driving once more.

Twenty minutes later, we were in the lime Garage at Disney Springs. Cole was getting the stroller out as I got Persephone out of her car seat. Buffy closed the door after I walked towards the trunk with Persephone.

"Here," Elijah said as he took the stroller from Cole before locking the car.

"Time to get something to eat, Miss Persephone," I told Persephone as I laid her down into the stroller before doing the straps up.

"Let's eat," Buffy voiced as we started our way out of the Garage.

Ten minutes later, we were at Cookes of Dublin. We got into line and waited to place our order. A couple of minutes later, we were in front of the line and were putting our order in.

"Hi, and welcome to Cookes of Dublin. What can I get for you?" A worker asked.

"Aurora, why don't you go first?" Elijah suggested.

"Hi, I would like the Famous Fish & Chips with a sprite and a Homemade Tray Baked Chocolate & Marshmallow Brownie," I ordered.

"Okay, who's next?" the worker responded as she put the order in.

"Hi, I would like the Famous Fish & Ships with a coffee and a Homemade Raspberry & White Chocolate Blondie," Cole ordered.

She nodded as she put the order in.

"I would like the Famous Fish & Chips with a Bewley's Irish Hot Tea and a Mixed Fruit Cup," Elijah ordered.

She nodded again as she put the order in.

"I would like the Famous Fish & Chips with a coffee and a Homemade Tray Baked Chocolate & Marshmellow Brownie," Buffy ordered.

"Is that all?" the worker questioned.

 "Yes, that would be all," Elijah responded.

The worker repeated our order before telling us the amount. Elijah paid before we headed to the pick-up window. Fifteen minutes later, our food and drinks were ready. We picked them up before walking away to find a spot to eat in the shade. The others joined us a little while later.

"Before we start eating. I would like to say something," I voiced as our group looked at me. "As you know, Angel couldn't be here today due to the fact of being Hell. Let's raise our drinks in a toast of Memorial to Angel. We love you and miss you. You'll be back with us before long. Angel." I took a sip of my sprite.

"Angel," the rest of our group said as their raised their drinks before taking a sip.

We started eating as Cole fed Persephone her baby food. Persephone is smart. She wasn't a picky eater. Persephone was offered baby food at the end of 5 months, and she liked it.

After eating lunch, we placed Persephone down for a nap before heading to Shop for Ireland. We walked in and separated to look around the room. Twenty minutes later, I had bought a baby Sheep Vest Onesie, two Celtic Knot Rolled Sleeve T-shirts, Kids Shamrock Hairclips Set of 2, Kids Shamrock Headband, and a Cubic Zirconia Silver Trinity Knot Ring for an early Birthday present for Willow. Buffy got a St. Patrick's Day T-shirt before we headed out of the store with the bags.

"So, where are we going next?" Rebekah asked.

"Savannah Bee Company," Jenna answered.

We headed over to our next store.

Ten minutes later, we were at the Savannah Bee Company. We walked in and separated before looking around. It didn't take long to find something I liked for Persephone.

"Did you find something?" Elijah asked.

"Yeah," I replied as I held the little bee puppet book, a southern Gentlemen's Kitchen book and the fresh honey cookbook.

"She'll like that," Elijah voiced.

"I think so too," I whispered to him.

"Let's go see something else," Elijah said as he steered me away from the books.

Thirty minutes later, we were done shopping. We had bought Biscuits & Honey Gift Set, Hand Cream Tube Trio, Whipped Honey Sample Set, Bee the Balm Gift Set, Lemongrass Spearmint Honey Hand Soap, Orange blossom Honey Body Lotion, Salt Caramel Lip Balm, Beeswax Celebration Candles, Passionfruit Peach Loose Leaf Tea, The Fresh Honey Cookbook, Tea Infusers, Callie’s Gluten-Free Biscuits Mix, and Callie’s Buttermilk Biscuits Mix for me. For Persephone, we had bought the little bee puppet book and a fuzzy bee plush. For Willow, we had bought Hand Cream Tub Trio, Savannah Bee Company Travel Mug, Bee the Balm Gift Set, Rosemary Lavender Honey Body Lotion, Sweet Tea Lip Balm, Passionfruit Peach Loose Leaf Tea, and Tea Infusers. Buffy got Hand Cream Tub Trio, Bee the Balm Gift Set, Orange Blossom Honey Body Lotion, and Mint Lip Balm. We got Tea Lovers Gift Set, Honey For Your Tea, English Breakfast Loose Leaf Tea, and Tea Infusers for Giles. For Angel, we got Roasted Honey Coffee and Morning Coffee Gift Set. Elijah and Cole got Southern Gentleman's Kitchen (Elijah) and Handcrafted Stoneware Coffee Mug (Cole). After shopping, we walked out and waited for the others.

"So, where are we going for a snack?" Buffy asked.

"Well, it's our shopping spot & snack spot," Cole voiced as the others joined us.

"So?" Buffy returned.

"The Ganachery," Cole told them.

We headed over to the Ganachery.

When we got there, we separated into groups before taking turns going into the store.  

"I'll watch  Persephone," Jenna said as she took the stroller.

My group went in first and looked around. We bought 7 boxes of 1/2 dozen chocolates of our choice of chocolates, 3 Princess Chocolate Bars, 4 Crispy Chocolate Pearls in Caramel & 5 Crispy Chocolate Pearls in White Chocolate, 1 Crispy Chocolate Pearls in Strawberry, 1 Crispy Chocolate Pearls in Dark, and 6 Milk Chocolate Marshmallows containers. We also bought 4 boxes of 1/2 dozen chocolates of our choice and four Hot Ganaches for our drinks and treat.

"Thank you for shopping at The Ganachery. Please come again," the worker said as she handed us our bags and drinks. 

We took the bags and drinks before we walked out as Kyra's group went in. I took the stroller back from Jenna before taking a sip of my Hot Ganache. Ten minutes later, Kyra and her group walked out, and Kate's walked in. Another ten minutes later, Kate's group walked out, and Jenna's walked in.

"So, just Jenna left to go," Kyra voiced.

"Yeah," I replied before taking another sip.

"This Hot Ganache is really good," Kate voiced after taking a sip.

"I agree," I stated.

"Me too," Kyra and Buffy responded as Jenna, Rebekah, Kol, & Jeremy walked out with their bags and drinks.

"Let's head to the cars," Finn voiced as we started our way back to the lime garage.

Twenty minutes later, we were at the cars. We put the bags back into the cars before opening  Persephone's side door. I got Persephone situated into her car seat before placing the diaper bag on the floor and closing the door. I handed the stroller over to Elijah before getting into the car with Buffy and our drinks. Cole soon joined us before Elijah closed the trunk and got into the car.

"Next stop, Art of Amination," Cole voiced as Elijah started the car.

We were off to our next Disney adventure.

Chapter Text

Twenty-five minutes later, we were at Disney's Art of Amination Resort. We did online check-in before unpacking the cars. We finished unloading the car by the time we got to the room number for each group.

"What building are we in?" I asked as I got Persephone situated in her stroller before doing the straps up.

"We are in the Lion King building," Elijah answered. "Buffy, you are with us  as well."

"Okay," Buffy responded. 

"What about us?" Kyra asked.

"We are in the Little Mermaid building," Klaus answered.

"And us?" Kate questioned.

"Finding Nemo building," Finn voiced.

"Before you start asking, we are in the Cars building," Jenna stated as Jeremy was about to open his mouth.

"Let's go find our rooms," Andy declared as he grabbed his luggage and carry-on bag.

I grabbed Persephone's diaper bag and my carry-on bag before putting them into the stroller compartment. I grabbed my luggage bags before Elijah took the stroller. We headed in different directions of our buildings before heading to rooms.

Five minutes later, we were at the building and were heading to our room. When we got to the room, Elijah tapped his magic band before opening the door and pushing the stroller into the room. We took our turns going into the room. As we walked into the room, I saw a kitchenette and microwave.

"So the bedroom is ours," Elijah voiced as he pointed to the bedroom. 

"Where am I sleeping?" Buffy asked.

"This pulls down into a bed," Elijah stated as he tapped the compartment.

"Okay, then," Buffy responded.

I walked into the bedroom and sat my luggage on the bed before unpacking the weeks' outfit bags and putting them into the dresser drawers. I closed my first luggage bag before opening the second luggage bag and pulled out the personalized spelled bags. I opened the closet and found the requested playpen before getting it set up for bedtime. 

"The playpen is ready for Persephone's bedtime," I voiced as I walked out of the bedroom.

"Okay," Elijah said as he had Persephone on the floor for tummy time. 

She was pushing up on her hands and knees but plopped back down.

"Not ready yet," I voiced.

"I think she'll let us know when she's ready to crawl," Cole voiced as he put his arms around my waist.

Persephone pushed herself into a sitting position before grabbing the fuzzy bee toy in front of her.

"Well, she can sit up by herself," I responded as I got down on the floor next to Persephone before grabbing a book from her shopping bag.

I read her the little bee book before picking her up and pulling her into my lap.

"You, my little love," I told her. "Will crawl when you are ready, you here." She pointed at her bee plush. "That is a bee. B-b bee. The bee makes the sounds like this," I buzzed at her as I moved towards her.

She laughed as she reached out for the toy.

"You like that, huh," I said as I gave her back the toy.

"Uh, Aurora?" Elijah said.

"What?" I questioned.

"Look up," Cole voiced.

"What?" I said before noticing the snowflakes above us. "Oh!"

"Is that you?" Elijah asked.

"No," I answered as Persephone raised her hands to grab the snow above us. "I think Persephone did."

"Oh, Miss Persephone's first power reveals," Cole said as he took a picture of us with snow & ice before picking up Persephone from my lap.

"Actually, it might be her second power reveal," I replied as Elijah helped me up.

"The animals at SeaWorld and at Animal Kingdom were flocking to her, trying to get her attention," Elijah stated.

"It's a possible gift as well," Cole voiced before saying. "But this is the first elemental reveal for her."

"We should celebrate," Buffy responded.

"We'll pick something out at the food place to celebrate," Elijah returned.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Well, it's 3:25 pm," Elijah said as he checked his phone.

"Why don't we go check what's there's to see?" Buffy suggested.

Cole placed Persephone back into the stroller before putting the diaper bag into the compartment. I grabbed my side bag with my phone and sunglasses. We headed out the door.

Three and half hours later, we had seen a playground area, taken pictures with Simba statue and Rafiki Statue, the pool areas, saw the Skyliner area and walked along the jogging paths. Now, we were heading back to the room as the boys got dinner and a treat to celebrate Persephone's first elemental reveal. I tapped my magic band to the lock before Buffy opened the door and walked in. I followed through before stopping at the living room.

"So, how long until dinner?" Buffy asked.

"Cole says, twenty minutes," I replied after seeing Cole's text.

"What time is it?" Buffy asked as she unstrapped Persephone to the stroller and pulled her into her arms.

"5:25, I believe," I voiced as I walked over to the fridge to pull out Persephone's baby food before grabbing her diaper bag. 

I pulled out the baby bowls and spoons from the diaper bag. I grabbed two clean baby bowls and spoons before setting it up. I opened the apple puree and put a tablespoon in the bowl before opening the sweet potato and putting two tablespoons into another bowl. I used my firepower to slightly heat the sweet potato to a warm but not hot taste. 

"Hey, Buffy, think you can find see if there's a high chair anywhere?" I asked before saying. "Elijah said he requested a high chair."

"Okay," Buffy replied as she looked around before saying. "Found it." She placed Persephone into it before doing the straps.

"Time to feed her," I voiced as I sat down next to her and started feeding her the sweet potato puree. "Here comes the airplane," I made an airplane sound before swooping into her mouth a bit of puree.

I continued to feed her the puree as the door opened.

"Dinner is here," Elijah said as he and Cole came into the room with dinner.

Persephone squealed as she heard one of her daddy's voices.

"What is Persephone today for dinner?" Cole asked.

"Sweet potato for dinner and apple puree for dessert," I answered as Persephone took another bite of her sweet potato puree.

 "Here, let me finish feeding her the sweet potatoes and get her started on the apples. Why don't you help Elijah and Buffy with dinner?" Cole suggested as he handed me a bag.

"Okay, are you sure?" I questioned.

"Of course," Cole said before kissing my cheek and taking the baby spoon from my hand.

I walked over to the counter with the bag before setting it down next to Elijah's.

"Here's your Chicken Strips, Fries and Mac & Cheese," Elijah said as he handed me my dinner.

I laid it down on the table away from Persephone's food. 

"And your rootbeer," Elijah added before handing me my rootbeer.

"Thank you," I replied as I put my drink near my dinner.

"Buffy, here's your House-seasoned Grilled Chicken Sandwich, fries and Minute Maid Lemonade," Elijah said as he handed over Buffy's dinner.

"Thank you," Buffy replied as she took her dinner.

"Cole, your dinner is on the counter," Elijah told him.

"Got it," Cole responded as he switched to the apple puree.

"What did you get for dinner?" I asked them as I sat down in front of my dinner.

"I got the Chicken Parm with Breadsticks & a Tea," Elijah told us.

"I got the Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger with fries & Fanta Orange," Cole said as he continued to feed Persephone the puree.

The rest of us got to eat our dinner before Cole soon joined us after he finished feeding her, and he also cleaned her face from the puree. She was now playing with a soft toy while we ate.

After eating, we did the evening routine. Persephone had a bath, diaper change and storytime. 

"Time for bed. my love," I said in a hushed voice.

I laid Persephone down into the playpen before laying her blanket on her.

"May the angels watch over you, Persephone," I whispered before reaching down and kissing her head.

I turned on her sound machine and baby monitor before grabbing my PJs and turning out the light. I also took my jewelry/accessories extend containers. I grabbed my side of the baby monitor before walking out of the room and lightly closed the door, but I left a little of the door open. 

"I'm going to jump into the shower and change into my PJs before we have dessert and watch a movie," I told them.

"I'll take the next shower," Buffy voiced.

I nodded before heading into the bathroom. I turned on the shower before I undressed and took off my magic band after taking off my jewelry. I took out a make-up cloth to wash it off. I got into the shower before washing my body and hair. It didn't take long before I got out and used the blow dryer and my hairbrush to dry and brush my hair. I got dressed into my Pjs before putting on my protection necklace and the Claddagh ring. I put my shoes into its compartment in my extended accessories container. I grabbed my dirty clothes and bag that I used today and headed out of the room.

When I walked into the living room, the table and chairs were gone from their spot. Buffy's bed was pulled down from its hidden spot. 

"Your turn Buffy," I told her.

"Okay," Buffy said as she headed into the bathroom with containers and PJs.

"What's for dessert?" I asked them.

"We got a Chocolate Mickey Mouse Celebration Cake," Cole responded. 

"It has Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache and Chocolate Mousse, and we had them write Happy Birthday on it. We just said it was a late birthday cake for Cole," Elijah voiced.

"Let's move this over the living room," Cole said as he took the cake to the living room and laid it on the table in front of the tv. 

I grabbed my leftover drink and joined them. Buffy came out with her dirty clothes and wearing her PJs.

"Let's eat," Buffy said as she joined me on the couch.

Cole and Elijah cut the cake before handing us a piece with a fork. Buffy pressed play on the movie before joining us with their cake pieces.

Two and half-hour later, the movie was done, and it was time for bed. Buffy and I brushed our teeth as the boys took their turns showering and getting ready for bed. Buffy quietly got into bed before I silently walked into the bedroom. I tiptoed and put my dirty laundry into its bag before getting into the bed. I got into the middle before turning over towards the playpen. A little while later, Elijah and Cole came in and joined me. I closed my eyes as I felt two kisses before falling asleep.

Time Skip

It was morning. The girls and I jogged the trail before heading back to our rooms for showering, changing our clothes, and breakfast. When Buffy and I got back to the room, we found a note on the table.

Aurora & Buffy,

We went to get breakfast. 

Persephone is with us. 

See You Soon.

Elijah & Cole

I put the note before heading to the bedroom to grab today's outfit bag. By the time I got into the bathroom, Buffy was getting out of the shower. I got out of my jogging clothes before stepping into the shower. I quickly showered before getting out.

"Aurora, Buffy, we're back!" We heard Cole yell.

"We're getting ready!" I yelled back.

I opened today's outfit bag and pulled them out before laying them on the counter. I put on my undergarments before slipping into my creme-coloured pants. I put on my black tank top before putting a creme-coloured three-quarter sleeve top over it. I curled my hair before putting a black headband on. I added the jewelry before doing my magic band. 

"All ready," Buffy said.

"Me too," I replied as I slipped on my black flats before grabbing my wonder woman bag.

"Let's go eat," Buffy voiced as we walked out of the bathroom and into the living-dinning area.

"Ready to eat?" Elijah questioned.

"I believe we are," I stated.

I saw Cole feeding Persephone her morning cereal as we sat down.

"What did you get?" Buffy asked.

"For Aurora, we got the Character Waffles with Bacon and Sausage as well as a Hot Tea with Milk & Sugar," Elijah answered.

"For you, a Character Waffles with Bacon, Sausage and a coffee," Cole told her.

"Cole and I got the Breakfast Sandwich with Breakfast potatoes and coffee & tea," Elijah told her.

We dug into our breakfast before brushing our teeth and heading out the door towards the Skyliner.

Twenty minutes later, we had met up with the others and were in line for the Skyliner. Another ten minutes later, we were on the Skyliner heading to turmoil before heading up to Hollywood Studios. 

"We are here," I said as I pushed the stroller out of the Hollywood studios turmoil and towards bag check.

"Wow, what are we doing first?" Kate asked as we got into line.

"We're heading for Muppets 3D, first," Klaus answered as I had my bag checked and scanned my magic band.

It didn't take long before everyone was done, and we were heading for Muppets 3D.

When we got to the Muppets 3D, we put our stroller in parking and got in line. We walked into the building and grabbed our 3D glasses. Elijah was holding Persephone in his arms. She tried to grab his 3D glasses off his face before we walked into the theatre. We sat down and waited for the show. It didn't take long before the show began.

After the show, we grabbed the stroller before placing Persephone back into the stroller and did the straps up. 

"Next stop, Batu," Jeremy said with excitement.

"How did you know?" Klaus asked.

"I saw the plan on Jenna's phone," Jeremy answered.

We headed our way to Batu.

We walked through Batu before stopping at the Rise of Resistance.

"Okay. Your board group is in ten minutes," Elijah said as he took the stroller from me.

"Wait, what?" Buffy questioned.

"Aurora, Cole and Buffy's board group is in ten minutes. Your board group #3," Elijah said.

"We're after that," Kyra voiced.

"Us too," Kate and Jenna voiced.

We headed off and got into line for the Rise of Resistance. 

While we waited to get on the ride, we watched the pre-show before getting on the transport ship. A little while later, we got onto the ride, and we were off to escape the first order.

After the ride, Cole, Buffy and I met up with Elijah and a sleeping Persephone while the others were going through the ride themselves.

"Anyone still hungry?" Buffy asked.

"I am," Cole voiced.

"Me too," I replied.

"Let's go to Ronto Roasters," Buffy suggested.

We walked over to Ronto Roasters and got into line. After we got our food, we headed to eat our after-breakfast snack. I got the Rising Moons Overnight Oats, while Cole and Buffy got the Ronto Morning Wrap. After eating, we met up with the others.

"So, where to next?" Rebekah asked.

"Millenium Falcon: Smuggler's Run," Jenna answered. "We have a fast pass."

"Who's staying with Persephone?" I questioned.

"I am," Finn answered as he took the stroller from Elijah.

We headed over to Millenium Falcon: Smuggler's Run before getting into the Fastpass line. We tapped our Magic Band to the button before it lit green and continued on our way down the line.

We watched the pre-show before taking pictures. A little while later, we were on the ride. I was pilot while Cole, Buffy, Kol, Jeremy & Rebekah were in their seats. A couple of minutes later, we were off on a smuggler's run.

A Slight Time Skip Later...

After the ride, we looked around, took some pictures, and saw Rey, Kylo Ren, Chewie and stormtroopers. Now it was time for lunch. 

"Where are we eating lunch?" Andy asked.

"We are eating at Docking Bay 7," Elijah answered as we started to walk towards the restaurant.

When we got there, we headed to get into line before ordering.

"What can I get for you?" Docking Bay 7 worker asked.

"Can we get two Fried Endorian Chicken Tip Yips, a Smoked Kaadu Pork Ribs, a Roasted Endorian Chicken Salad, three Moof Juices, a Bottle Water and two Outpost Puffs?" Elijah ordered.

"Of course," the worker responded as she put the orders in.

She told us the amount before Elijah paid. We headed to the pickup window. It didn't take long before lunch was here, and we headed to find a seat. After finding a seat, we got Persephone's lunch out and ready before I fed her puree chicken. Cole gave her a toy to play with as I got to eat my lunch.

Thirty minutes later, we were done eating. Persephone had been changed and put down for nap #2 before the boys stopped us.

"Where are you taking us?" I asked as Cole placed the silencer spell on the stroller for Persephone to nap.

"We have a reservation to make our own customized droid," Klaus voiced as we stopped in front of Droid Depot.

We walked into the Droid Depot and headed over to the reservation check-in area before we were led over to where we would make our droids. We gathered the pieces we would need to make our droid. I picked to make B droid like BB8. We had an instructor to help us as we went. We also got personality-affiliation chips for our droids which were extra. I got the resistance personality-affiliation chip. After we were finished our droids, we paired them with remotes, carry boxes and instructions. We paid for our droids before looking at the other items in the Droid Depot. I bought an R2D2 hair bow and an R2D2 Apron. We headed out of the store and waited for the others.

"Where are we going next?" Jeremy asked.

"Creature Stall," Rebekah responded before getting looks from everyone. "What?" As she noticed the glances that she got from us. "I looked at Klaus's phone at lunch."

We headed over to our next store as Elijah pushed the stroller.

When we got the creature Stall, it was in a marketplace with other little shops in it. We got into line at the creature stall and waited our turn. A little while later, it was my, Buffy, Elijah and Cole's group's turn to go in. We walked into the stall and had already found what star wars animal I would like to get.

"What can I get for you?" a worker asked as she came over.

"I would like to get this one," I answered as I picked up the Porg. 

"Lovely choice. Is there anything else your group would like?" the worker asked.

I looked towards the others before Elijah said something.

"No, that would be all," Elijah responded.

The worker-led us over to the cashier desk, and we paid for Porg before leaving the store with the bag. We waited for the others as they looked around before coming out.

"Where to next?" Leo questioned.

"Jewels of Bith," Finn answered.

We headed over to Jewels of Bith.

It took twenty minutes for us to get into Jewels of Bith and find something that I wanted. 

"You find something?" Cole asked.

"Another Ornament for the tree," I answered as I held up the Batu ornament that had the Millineum Falcon flying over it.

"Good choice," Elijah said as he and Cole took it over to the cashier desk and paid for it.

"Couldn't find anything I wanted," Buffy told me as we walked out of the store with the stroller.

"It's okay. You'll find something," I voiced as I held my extension spelled bag over my shoulder.

"I know I will," Buffy voiced as we waited for the others to join us.

"Did you find anything?" I asked Kyra as she, Andy, Kate and Leo walked over.

"I didn't, but Kyra did," Kate answered.

"I found a water bottle with some type of infuser for Cordelia," Kyra told us.

"Where are we going next?" Leo asked.

"We are going to Blackspire Outfitters next, I believe," Rebekah said as her group came over.

"We are going there next," Klaus voiced as we headed over and got into line with the stroller.

Another twenty minutes later, it was time for my group (Buffy, Elijah, Cole, Persephone and me) to go in. I headed over to grab something that caught my eye. It was Rey's Vest, and I also found Rey's Belt.

"I found what I want," I said as I walked over to Elijah and Cole.

"Found something?" Buffy questioned as she appeared.

"Yeah, Rey's Vest and Belt," I answered as I held up what I found.

"Good choices," Kyra said as she came over with a Jedi Robe and tunic.

"You too," I replied as I nodded to her choice.

"We'll go pay for these," Klaus said as the boys took our things before heading to the cashier desk.

Buffy, Kyra, Andy, and I walked out of Blackspire Outfitters with the stroller.

"What time is it?" Andy asked.

"Why?" Kyra answered with a question.

"Because I am hungry," Andy responded.

"Me too," I voiced.

"All this shopping made me hungry too," Buffy stated.

"Well, we have one more shop to go to before we eat," Jenna told us as she came over to us with her group.

"Where?" Kyra asked.

"Toydarian Toymaker," Leo answered as he came over with his group.

The rest of my and Buffy's group joined us before we walked over and got into line.

Twenty-five minutes later, Kate's group had gone, and my group was waiting our turn to go in. Ten minutes later, Kate's group walked out, and it was our turn to explore the shop. I already had found a couple of things I wanted. I picked up a handmade Leia for Willow and handmade Rey and Porg toys for me before heading over to music instruments. 

"Let me hold this for you," Cole said as he took the handmade toys from me.

I noticed he had handmade Chewie in his hands.

"I see you got Chewie," I voiced as I looked at the instruments before finding the one I wanted to get for Persephone for when she got a bit older. 

"What are you getting?" Cole questioned.

"Persephone first instrument for when she's a bit older," I voiced as I picked up an Ewok drum.

"Good choice," Elijah voiced as I jumped.

"You scared me," I told him.

"Sorry," Elijah stated.

"It's okay," I replied as I walked over to games.

I looked around at the games before picking up a sabacc game from star wars for Willow and me before picking up a Matching game for Persephone and me.

"Are you ready?" Buffy asked as she came over with a Rey handmade toy.

"Ready to go," I voiced as we headed to the cashier table.

We waited in line before putting our things down on the table. The Toydarian Toymaker worker rang up our items before telling us the price. Elijah paid before we headed out of the store with the stroller and our bags.

"Who's left?" I asked as we walked over to Kate and Kyra's groups.

"Just Jenna's," Kate answered as we heard a little cry.

We all looked down to see Persephone awake.

"I'll go get her changed," I voiced as I walked over to the washroom area.

I got in line before walking into the family washroom. I changed Persephone's diaper before walking back of the bathroom and over to the others. 

"Let's go get our snack," Kyra answered as Jenna's group joined us.

"Where are we eating?" Kol asked.

"Kat Saka's Kettle," Finn answered.

We headed over to Kat's Saka's Kettle.

When we got over to Kat's Saka Kettle, we got into line and waited our turn to order. A couple of minutes later, it was our turn.

"Welcome to Kat Saka's Kettle. What can I get for you?" a worker asked.

"Hi, we would like three MSE-6 Series Droid Souvenir Popcorn Vessel with Outpost Mix Popcorn and one Outpost Mix Popcorn without," Elijah ordered.

"Anything else?" the worker asked.

"Yes, we would also like four Bottle Orb Sodas," Elijah answered.

"What kinds?" the worker questioned.

"Three Sprite and one coca-cola," Elijah ordered.

The worker put the drink orders in before telling us the amount and got our order together as Elijah paid. I grabbed my popcorn vessel before grabbing my Bottle orb Sprite as the rest of our group grabbed theirs. We headed away with the stroller. We found a spot to sit, so I could feed Persephone her bottle. 

"This is really good," Buffy said as I warmed up Persephone's bottle before starting to feed her. 

Persephone drank down her bottle as we talked about what we were doing next.

"Where are we going next?" Leo asked.

"We are going to see a mickey short called Vacation Fun," Finn answered as I burped Persephone.

Persephone let out a burp before Cole took Persephone from me. He laid her down back into the stroller and did the straps. I put my orb soda into my bag before getting up with my popcorn and started eating.

"Let's go," Elijah said as Cole started to push the stroller.

We headed out of Batu.

After we got out of Batu, we headed to where Vacation Fun was playing. Ten minutes later, we were at the theatre. We walked into the theatre with the stroller and sat down. We watched the short before heading out. 

Time Skip

We met Olaf before getting our pictures taken with him. he autographed our book. After that, we had over to Red Carpet Dreams. We met Minnie Mouse in one of her red carpet gowns and Mickey Mouse in his Sorcerer’s Apprentice costume. We had our pictures taken and got their autographs before heading out. We walked around until our dinner reservation at Sci-Fi Dine-in Restaurant. We walked in and checked in before waiting for our tables to be ready.

"Your tables are ready," the waitress said as she showed us our tables. 

My group and Kyra's group were at different car tables. While Kate's and Jenna's groups were at a picnic table. Cole had Persephone situated in a high chair as Elijah got Persephone's food ready. Buffy and I started to look through the menu.

"What looks good?" Buffy asked as Elijah started feeding Persephone.

"I don't know yet," I voiced.

"We'll figure it out by the time the server gets here," Cole stated.

It wasn't much longer until a server was here.

"My name is Ella, and I will be your server today. What can I get you for today?" Our server Ella asked. "Why don't we start with drinks?"

"I would like the Meteor with Sprite," I voiced.

"I'll have the same but with Coca-Cola," Buffy said.

"I'll have Chocolate Shake," Cole answered.

"I'll have a Vanilla Shake," Elijah ordered.

"I'll be back with your drinks," Ella said before leaving with our drink order.

Elijah continued to feed Persephone as the rest of us looked at the menu. Ten minutes later, our drinks were here. Mine and Buffy's drinks were in souvenir cups with glow cups for us to take home. 

"Have you had a chance to look at the menu to eat?" Ella asked. 

"Yes, and we are ready to order," Elijah answered as he wiped Persephone's face of the pureed food.

"What can I get for you?" Ella questioned.

"I'll have the Pan-Seared Chicken Pasta," I ordered.

"I'll have the Buffalo Chicken Salad," Buffy answered.

"I'll have the Classic American Burger," Cole told her.

"And I'll have the Pan-Seared Salmon Pasta," Elijah voiced.

"I'll put your order in," Ella said before leaving.

I noticed Persephone was watching the screen in front of us. 

"So, what movie are we watching tonight?" Buffy questioned.

"How about Frozen?" I suggested.

"No," Elijah and Cole both said.

"Okay, how about Star Wars: the rise of Skywalker," Buffy suggested.

"That's fine," Elijah said.

Twenty minutes later, our food was here, and we started eating.

An hour later, we were done eating and had paid for dinner before heading back to the hotel on the Skyliner. It took twenty minutes until we got back to the hotel. We split up after we got to the hotel. Buffy, Persephone and I headed to the room. While Cole and Elijah headed over to Landscape of Flavours for some movie goodies. When we got to the room, we did tummy time with Persephone before watching a mickey short as we waited for the boys to get back.

"Ladies, we're back," Elijah said as Persephone laughed at what was on the screen.

"What are you girls watching?" Cole questioned as Elijah closed the door.

"A mickey short," I answered.

"Well, it's time for Persephone's bath," Elijah said as he took off his jacket before taking Persephone.

"I'll get her bedtime clothes," I said as I walked into the bedroom.

When I got into the bedroom, I took off my magic band and flats before undressing and getting into my PJs. I grabbed Persephone's sleeper before laying nighttime soother and blanket down near the playpen. I walked back out of the bedroom and into the bathroom.

"Here's her sleeper," I said as I laid it down on the dry counter.

"Here's are Persephone's dirty clothes and magic band," Elijah replied as he pointed to the dirty clothes and magic band. 

"Thank you," I voiced before leaving the room and heading back to the bedroom.

I put Persephone's dirty clothes into her laundry bag before closing it up. I headed back out to the living room to see Buffy's bed back down. 

"We have everything ready," Cole said as he handed me the bottle.

I started to warm up the bottle before Elijah came out with dry and clean Persephone. I checked the bottle on my wrist.

"Bottle is ready," I said as I took Persephone from Elijah and started to feed her the bottle.

Persephone held the bottle with me as she drank the bottle down. We watched another mickey short while we waited for Persephone to finish her bottle. Ten minutes later, Persephone was done drinking, and I was burping before heading back into the bedroom as I sang Once Upon A Dream from Sleeping Beauty. She burped before I laid her down into the playpen. I gave her nighttime soother before laying the blanket down.

"Night, my love," I whispered as I turned on her side of the baby monitor before taking my side from the side table. "Sleep tight, may Angel watch over you."

I walked out with my side of the baby monitor before walking over to the others. I grabbed my drink from the restaurant and took a sip before sitting down. 

"Let's watch the movie," Buffy said as she pressed play on the movie.

We started to eat as we watched the movie.

Two hours and a half later, the movie was done, and it was time for bed. Buffy and I walked into the bathroom to brush our teeth. I brushed my teeth first before Buffy did.

"Night, Buffy," I said.

"Night," Buffy replied before walking out of the room.

I headed back into the bedroom as the boys were in bed already. I climbed over Elijah and got into the middle. I closed my eyes as I felt both of them kiss my cheek. I soon fell asleep after that.

A Giant Time Skip Later...

Dear Diary,

On late Monday early Tuesday morning, Persephone was waking us up crying. We had figured it was a tooth coming in. It was a good thing I brought a lot of teethers just in case this happened. I used my freezing power to freeze her soother and to freeze her teethers for her to suck on. She fell asleep with her cold soother before we fell asleep for an hour before waking up for our next day at Hollywood Studios.

Day 31 of Orlando & 2nd day at Hollywood Studios [August 7th]: It was a tiring morning due to her early morning teething. We woke her, fed her, and dressed her before offering solids which she took little of today. Then we headed to the park by Skyliner. We had breakfast at the Trolley Cafe. Then we headed to Toy Story Mania for some fun before Persephone's nap. After the ride, Persephone was put down for her first nap before getting into line for Slinky Dog Dash. Then, most of our group went onto Aliens Swirling saucers as Kate, Kyra, Rebekah, and I felt nauseous after Slinky Dog Dash. We took pictures in front of Woody and Buzz lightyear statues before having lunch at Woody's Lunch Box. Persephone only ate a little of her pureed lunch before being put down for a nap. While Persephone napped, we went shopping. 

Our first stop was at Tatooine Traders store. We bought Ewok Plush for Willow. Cole bought two Metal Earths; a Droid Pack and an At-At. Cole also got a 'Where Are you At-At?' T-shirt. After that, we headed to Beverly Sunset Boutique. We had bought a Toy Story Ball and a Jesse Plush for Persephone. Persephone woke up for a diaper change and a bottle before we had a snack at the Market. We got Jack-Jack's Num-Num Cookies and drinks. Buffy and I got Pineapple- Coconut Slushies while the boys got water. After snacking, we headed for For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing A Long Show. Kyra and I enjoyed it, but Persephone enjoyed the music as she sucked on a frozen teether. After that, we went on Aliens Swirling Saucer before going on the Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. For dinner, we ate at 50's Prime Time Cafe. Then we headed back to the hotel for some free time before Persephone's Dinner time. After that, she had a bath before being changed into a clean diaper and sleeper. We watched a Disney short as I fed Persephone a bottle before putting her down to sleep. Then we watched a movie before heading for bed ourselves.

Day 32 of Orlando Stay & 3rd Day at Hollywood Studios [August 8th]: Day 2 of Teething. Persephone is still in pain, but my ice powers are helping with it. Persephone ate some of her cereal but not all. We ate breakfast at the park. Then we headed to where Disney Juniors characters were meeting and got our picture taken with Vampirina. Then we headed for Star Tours after Persephone went down for our first nap of the day. After Star Tours, we walked around the Walt Disney Presents before walking around and searching for hidden Mickeys. Persephone woke up while we were looking for hidden mickeys. She needed a diaper change and a bottle. After that, we did some more hidden mickey searching and took pictures before heading to lunch. We mobile ordered at Dockside Diner. Buffy and I got the kids Mac & Cheese with whale crackers, apple slices, cuties and milk or water. Buffy and I also got a Seaside Brownie. I don't even remember what the boys got this time. Persephone ate at least some of her pureed lunch before having a diaper change and put down for a nap. Then we headed for our first shopping stop. 

The store was called Celebrity 5 & 10. I got an Up Ornament, Up Pants, a Coco Mug, Nightmare before Christmas Snowglobe, Mickey Mouse Cake Pan, Mickey Mouse Cookie Cutter, Nightmare Jack Pin & Nightmare Sally Pin. We got a Castle Snowglobe for Willow, a Small World Snowglobe for Buffy, a Buzz/Woody Pin for Cole, and Mine Mine Mine Mug & Disney Shortbread Cookies for Giles. After, we headed to Mickey's of Hollywood. We bought Pez Dispensers [4 Mickey and one woody], Mickey Dog's Ears, five Goofy's Candy Company Mike and Ikes, five Goofy's Candy Company Mickey Licorice, three Goofy's Candy Company Mini Unicorn Pops and one old fashioned Minnie Mouse plush. Then we headed to Legends of Hollywood. I bought a Sally Themed Dress. After shopping, we grabbed a snack at the Trolley Cafe before heading back to the hotel via Skyliner before heading back to the rooms. The plan was to get dressed in our swimsuits and head to the pool, but it started to rain. So we stayed in the room and played before dinner. We mobile ordered from Landscape of Flavours. Persephone ate a bit of her pureed dinner before having a bath and changed into a sleeper. She drank her bottle down before sucking on a teether soother as she went to bed. 

Day 33/34 of Orlando Stay & 1st & 2nd Day of Typhoon Lagoon Water Park [August 9th & 10th]: Day 3 & 4 of Teething. Persephone is still in tooth pain, but she enjoyed our time in the water. Both days, we had cabanas and enjoyed our time in the water and out. On the first night back from the pool, we watched the Little Mermaid and on our last night back from the Typhoon Lagoon, we watched Finding Dory. 

Day 35 of Orlando Stay & 4th Day at Hollywood Studios [August 11th]: Day 5 of Teething Pain. Persephone is still in pain from her first tooth coming in, but her teether never warms thanks to my ice power. We had breakfast at the Park again. We also tried one of the new Halloween goodies before going on Tower of Terror. After that, we got our picture taken at Tower Photo before looking at the gift store. We bought pressed pennies, an HTH Key Shirt for Willow, a couple of HTH mugs, a Hollywood Tower Hotel Jenga set, an HTH Water Bottle, and a Bell Hop Hat. We also bought a Nightmare before Christmas shirt, a Jack Skellingto Mug, a Jack Skellington Ears, a Zero Sweatshirt, a Jack/Sally mashup pants, a Zero plush and a Sally plush. After that, we headed to the Rock N Roller coaster starring Aerosmith ride. After the ride, we got pictures taken. We bought them before starting to shop. We bought Personalized ID tags and a Producer Plack. After that, Persephone had awakened from her nap and needed a diaper change and a bottle. I changed her before Elijah fed her. Then we headed for Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy. After that, we enjoyed watching Beauty & the Beast Live on stage. Persephone enjoyed hearing the music as she teethed on a frozen teether. 

After watching Beauty and the Beast, we headed to Rosie's All American Cafe for lunch. Buffy and I got Angus Bacon Cheeseburger with fries, Sprite in a BB-8 Sipper & a S'mores Cupcake (me), and a Rosie's All American Salad with a Coca-Cola in BB-8 Sipper and S'mores Cupcake (Buffy). The boys got the Angus Cheeseburger with fries, Coca-cola in a Darth Vader Sipper & the same dessert (Cole) and the salad with water & the same dessert (Elijah). We also grabbed the Halloween desserts that they offered there. Persephone ate a little more of her lunch than yesterday before being put down for a nap. While Persephone napped, we ate the rest of the list for what Hollywood Studios had to offer before shopping at Once Upon A Time. We had found and bought a Belle Plush and a Beast Plush for Persephone. After shopping, some of us were still hungry from our Halloween eating, so we headed to Epic Eats for a snack. Buffy and I got the Funnel Cake with Cookies 'n Cream & Soft-serve Vanilla Ice Cream (me) and a Funnel Cake with Strawberry Topping and Soft-serve Vanilla Ice Cream (Buffy). The boys got Funnel Cakes with Powdered Sugar. After Epic Eats, we headed back to the hotel for relaxation and free time. Persephone slept the rest of her nap in the playpen. Buffy and the others enjoyed the pool while we worked in the room. We joined them after Persephone's nap and feeding. 

We bought dinner at Landscape of Flavours before taking it back to the room. We ate dinner in the room while Persephone had a little more of her dinner before her bath. After her bath, Elijah changed her into a sleeper before I warmed up her bottle and fed her while watching another Disney short. After the bottle, we laid her down to sleep and watched a movie.

Today is Park Hop Day. We have a half-day at Hollywood Studios and Half-day at Epcot. 

A*

I closed the journal before putting it into my bag. I looked over at Elijah as he fed Persephone her cereal with formula.

"She's still teething, but she's eating," Elijah voiced.

"Her first tooth is almost here," I told him.

"Yeah, soon enough she'll be able to eat more," Cole stated.

"Yeah, small pieces of bread, soft cookies," I said.

"Do we have any appointments after our vacation?" Elijah asked.

"Yes, we have the 6-month checkup for Persephone," I answered before saying. "And I believe that Kate, Kyra, Rebekah and I will be needing an appointment with a doctor." 

"But Rebekah is a vampire. Why would she need to go to a doctor?" Buffy questioned.

"I know, but I have a feeling that she's going to need to go to a doctor," I responded before saying. "I mean, Kate, Kyra, Kyra, Rebekah, and I have all been feeling sick, and I believe I'm two months late."

"Persephone is done eating, and now it's our turn to eat," Elijah said as he wiped Persephone's face and hands clean as Cole washed Persephone's bowl and spoon. 

I grabbed my wallet and phone before putting them into my mickey mouse tote bag. I put on my sunglasses before making sure my Mickey hat was secure. 

"I put Persephone's sunscreen on her," Buffy said. "As well as her hat and sunglasses."

I look down to see Persephone as she stared up at me.

"Don't you look cool, Miss Persephone," I said as I knelt and kissed her forehead.

Persephone laughed as my lips touched her forehead. She reached out to my hair and grabbed a strand before giving it a tug.

"None of that, my love," I whispered before wincing at her strength of the tug. I took my hair from her grasp before kissing her hand.

"Here," Cole said as he handed me the teether.

I froze teether before handing it to Persephone who immediately put in her mouth to teeth on as if she knew what to do with it.

"Time to go," Elijah said as he took the stroller.

Cole helped me up before we headed out the door.

After we got downstairs, we headed to the Skyliner before heading to Hollywood & Vine for breakfast. We checked in before waiting a few minutes for our tables to be ready.

"Your tables are ready," A cast member said before showing us to our tables.

We sat down at the table where a highchair for Persephone was. Elijah placed Persephone into the high chair before sitting down with us. We were handed menus before our pastry baskets were laid down on the tables. Then we ordered our usual breakfast drinks. Elijah and I got the hot teas while Cole and Buffy got coffee.

"Here are your drinks," our server said as he laid it down before asking. "Have you decided what you would like?"

"I would like the Hazelnut Spread-stuffed French Toast with sausage," I ordered before taking a bite of the Caramel Monkey Bread with honey butter.

"I would like the House-made Pancake Stack with bacon," Buffy requested.

"I will have the Four-Egg Scramble with bacon," Elijah stated.

"I will have the Four-Egg Cheese Omelet Swiss, Smoked Gouda, Cheddar with bacon," Cole voiced.

Our server left with the order before we started talking about our activities today.

"What are we doing first after breakfast?" Kyra asked.

"First, we are going on Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway," Klaus answered.

We continued to talk about today as our food arrived. We started eating our breakfast.

A half-hour later, we were done eating and were heading over to our first ride. We put the stroller in stroller parking before I picked Persephone out of the stroller. Cole put on the protection for the stroller before getting into line.

"So, what ride is after this?" Rebekah asked.

"We are going on Tower of Terror after this ride," Finn answered as the line started moving again.

We continued to head down the line. A half-hour later, we were in front of the line and were waiting for our turn on the ride. It didn't take much longer before it was our turn. Elijah, Persephone and I got in one vehicle while Cole and Buffy were behind us. Kate and Finn were one vehicle, Kyra and Klaus in another, Andy and Leo in one, Rebekah and Jeremy in one, and Jenna and Kol and in the one behind Rebekah and Jeremy. We were off on our runaway railway journey.

After the ride, we found our stroller before heading off to our next ride. I felt nauseous, but I didn't need to throw up, which was good.

"Girls, are you okay?" Jenna asked as she noticed something wasn't right with us.

"We're fine," Kate answered.

"Yeah, just a little nauseous," Rebekah voiced.

"Are you okay with going on the next ride?" Jeremy questioned.

"I think we'll be fine," Kyra stated.

"Yeah, it's gone away just now," I told him as I felt nausea vanish before asking. "Who's staying with Persephone?"

"I will be," Elijah stated as he took the stroller from me.

"Okay, see you after the ride," I said before kissing his cheek. "Don't forget her nap is in..."

"Five minutes, I know," Elijah said before Cole grabbed my hand before leading me to the line with the others.

We got into line and started our way up to the Tower of Terror.

An hour and twenty minutes later, we were in front of the line. We had watched the pre-show and were waiting for our turn.

"What time is it?" Kyra asked.

"It's 10:20," Jenna said as she checked her watch.

"Persephone has slept and is probably being fed a bottle by now," I voiced.

We got into our seats and were locked in before the ride began. We were off as the evaluator doors closed.

After the ride, we found Elijah and Persephone, and she was awake. Persephone laughed and smiled as she saw me.

"Miss Persephone, did you have a good sleep?" I asked as I picked her up and out of the stroller. "Hm..." Persephone continued to laugh as she grabbed my nose. "That's my nose, and there's your nose," I told her as I tapped her nose.

"She slept nicely sucking on her frozen soother," Elijah told me before I laid her back down into the stroller and did up the straps.

"Let's go," Klaus voiced.

"Where to?" Andy questioned.

"Toy Story Mania is the last ride of our Hollywood Studios stay," Finn answered.

We headed off to Toy Storyland.

Twenty minutes later, we were in Toy Storyland and were heading over to Toy Story Mania. It didn't take long before finding stroller parking for Toy Story Mania. We parked before I picked Persephone out of the stroller before Cole put the protection spell back up. We headed over and got in line. An hour later, we had our 3D glasses on, and we were waiting for the ride Vehicle.

"Here comes the ride vehicle," Cole said as it stopped in front of our gates.

The gates opened, and we got in. Cole was with Persephone and me this time as we sat down. It didn't take long for the ride to start moving, and we were off to the World of Toy Story.

After the ride, we found the stroller, and we were heading to our last stop before lunch.

"Where are we going?" Rebekah asked.

"We're going to It's a Wonderful Shop," Elijah said as we headed down a ramp near Pizza Rizzo.

They led us to a small but quaint Christmas shop.

"Which group is first?" Kyra asked.

"We'll go first," Cole answered as he rolled the stroller into the shop with Elijah and me behind him.

Twenty minutes later, we had finished shopping. We had bought three Graduation Minnie Mouse Ornament (Buffy, Willow and me), one Graduation Mickey Mouse Ornament (Cole), an Aurora Ornament (me), a Baby's First Christmas Ornament (Persephone), a Belle Ornament (Willow), a BB-8 Ornament (Cole), a Jasmine Ornament (Buffy), a Plaid Mickey Apron (me), a Plaid Mickey Stocking (Elijah), a Christmas Minnie Plush (Persephone) and a 5 Minute Christmas Stories Book. We headed out of the shop with our bags as Kate's group walked in.

A Slight Time Skip...

Everyone was done shopping, and we had headed back to the hotel. When we got back to the room, we separated our shopping into their bags before feeding Persephone her lunch. After she was done eating, we put her down for a nap in the stroller before heading out to the Skyliner. We got onto the Skyliner before it stopped at the terminal, and we got off. We needed to get on another Skyliner. We walked around before getting on another, and we were off to Epcot.

Chapter Text

Twenty minutes later, we were at Epcot and were waiting to get through to our first stop. Which was lunch for the rest of us. It didn't take long to get through the checkpoint. When we got down, everyone grabbed a Food and Wine festival book. 

"We'll do a couple of the booths today, but we need to eat," Elijah voiced.

"Where are we eating?" Leo asked.

"For lunch, we are eating at Yorkshire County Fish Shop," Klaus answered.

We headed over to the United Kingdom Pavilion before walking over to Yorkshire County Fish Shop and got in line.

"Welcome to Yorkshire County Fish Shop. What can I get for you?" a worker asked.

"Four orders of Fish & Chips and four bottles of water," Elijah ordered.

"Coming right up," the worker said. 

She put the order in before telling us the amount, and Elijah paid. We waited for our food before getting condiments and finding a spot to sit and eat our lunch. The others joined us after they got their food.

"Where are we going after this?" Kyra asked as I squeezed some lemon juice on my fish before taking a bit of my fish.

"Well, we thought we shop in this area while Persephone finished naping," Finn answered.

"Then, we'll go and meet Alice," Elijah pointed out.

"And the rest will be told later," Klaus stated before we went back to eating.

After we were done eating, we headed to our first shop. The first United Kingdom shop was called 'The Tea Caddy.' We walked into the store and started to look around. I already picked up two personalized boxes of twinning Tea for Willow and me. Elijah and Buffy did the same for themselves and Giles. I also picked up two Tea Balls for Willow and me before looking around for some more tea items. I picked up a Lemon Delight Tea and a Nightly Calm tea before turning to find Cole with a stroller behind me.

"Are you done?" Cole asked.

"I am," I answered.

"Me too," Buffy said as she came over with her customized box of tea and a Tea Ball.

"As am I," Elijah replied as he walked over with two Tea balls, Chai Tea Box and an Earl Grey Tea Box.

"Let's go pay then," Cole stated before heading to the cashier desk.

We got into line and waited our turn before placing our items on the table. The cashier rang the items up before telling us the amount. Elijah paid as the cashier put the tea and accessories into bags before handing them over to us. After that, we headed next door to The Queen's Table.

When we walked in, we started to look around. It didn't take long to find something. We had bought 5 Quality Street boxes (Aurora, Willow, Buffy, Elijah, & Giles), 4 Shamrock Shortbread cookies (Aurora, Buffy, Giles, and Angel), and a lot of British candies (Cole).  

"Where to next?" I asked as we headed out of the store and into the hot sunny weather.

"Lords and Ladies," Jenna said as her group and Kate's groups came over to us.

"I'll text Kyra and tell her," Kate said as she pulled out her phone.

We headed next door for our last shopping stop in the United Kingdom Pavillon.

We walked into Lords and Ladies before starting to look around. After a while of shopping, we had bought several plaid scarves & Pink Royalty shirt (me) and a 'The Royal Companion' Shirt for Persephone. But by the time we walked out of the store, Persephone had awoken from her nap. I got a bottle of formula out of her diaper bag.

"I'll take her to get changed," Elijah voiced as Persephone cried.

"Okay," I replied as I handed over the stroller to him before he walked away with Persephone.

"Where did Elijah and Persphone go?" Jenna asked as her and Kyra's groups joined Buffy, Cole and me.

"Diaper change," Cole answered as Kate and her group joined us.

"What are we doing?" Kate asked.

"Waiting for Persephone and Elijah. Persephone needed a diaper change," I responded as I warmed up the bottle of formula with my fire-power. 

Ten minutes later, Elijah and Persephone were back, and it was time for a feeding. 

"Can I feed her?" Rebekah asked.

"Of course," I answered. 

I handed the bottle over before getting Persephone out of the stroller and handing her over to Rebekah. Rebekah fed her before burping her and was about to put her back in the stroller.

"Rebekah, wait, I think I just saw Alice heading to her spot. Why don't you hold her while we take pictures with her?" I suggested.

"Really?" Rebekah questioned.

"Yeah, I think she likes being out of her stroller," Cole voiced as we headed over to the area where Alice's meet and greet was.

We got into line and waited our turn. Twenty minutes later, we were in front of the line and were next to meet Alice.

"Aurora," Rebekah whispered as I looked over at them.

"Yeah," I responded as Persephone reached for me.

"I believe she wants you," Rebekah voiced as she handed Persephone over.

A couple of minutes later, our group was taking pictures with Alice. She also signed our Disney autograph book before Kate's group stepped up took pictures with her. My group headed out of the tea garden before I placed Persephone back into her stroller and did up the straps. We waited for the rest of our group to join us.

"So, where are we going next?" Leo asked as his group came over.

"We're going to the Popcorn in Canada stand," Jenna answered as her group joined us.

"Now, we're just waiting for Kyra and her group," Jeremy voiced as we waited for them.

"Let's go eat," Kyra said as her group walked over to us.

We headed over to the Canada Pallivon.

When we got into the Canada Pallivon, we headed for the popcorn stand and got into line. We looked at the menu as we waited our turn. A couple of minutes later, it was our turn. 

"What can I get for you all?" A cast member asked.

"Can we get two Maple Popcorns and two regular popcorns?" Elijah answered.

"Of course, anything else?" the cast member questioned.

"Two Pand-Ades and two bottles of water," Elijah replied.

The cast member put our drink order before telling us the total. Elijah paid as the cast member got our order together. After the cast member was done, she gave us our order before giving Elijah the receipt. We headed off to find a spot to sit.

A couple of minutes later, we had found a spot to sit near Canada's stage. We started munching on our snacks as the others joined us before sitting down and eating their snack. 

"What are we doing here in Canada?" Andy asked.

"We are watching the Canada Far & Wide before doing some more shopping," Jenna answered.

"But after that..." Andy responded.

"After that, we are trying some of the food & Wine Festival Booths," Jenna returned. "Before heading to the Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival and meeting a character." Jenna took a sip of her drink.

We continued eating and talking about Canada's Pallivon as music played from the stage.

Ten minutes later, we were done eating and were in line for Canada's Far and Wide. Fifteen minutes later, we were in the theatre and were being seated. It didn't take long for the show to begin. I looked over to Elijah to see Persephone in his lap before looking back at Canada's Far and Wide Show.

After the show, Persephone was back in her stroller as we headed to our first shop in Canada. When we got to the Trading Post, we split up and started to look around. It didn't take long before I found what I wanted to get for myself and others. We had bought Maple Cream Cookies for Giles, Maple Syrup for myself, a Beaver Plush, and a Black wolf with white Plush for Persephone. We headed out of the store and waited for the others.

"Where are we going next?" Leo questioned as he and his group came over.

"Northwest Mertanicle," Klaus answered as his group came over with Jenna's.

"Let's go," Rebekah voiced as we headed towards our last shop in Canada.

When we got to Northwest Mercantile, we walked in and looked around. Sometime later, we had bought dreamcatchers, a Canada Hockey Bear Plush, Mountie Bear Plush, a white bear Travel Bottle, and a Plaid Baby Onesie. We also got Canada Ears, Canada Mickey, and a 'Let's get Toasted' Night Top. After shopping, we stopped at Joffery's Coffee and Tea stand. We got coffee and Tropical Tea Breeze before heading to our first booth.

"Where are we going first?" Kyra asked.

"First, the Canada Booth and second the Appleseed Orchard Booth," Jenna answered as we got into line for the Canada Booth.

My group stepped up to the counter before we ordered.

"What can I get or you all?" a cast member asked.

"We would like one Canadian Cheddar & Bacon and two wild mushroom Beef Filet," Elijah ordered.

She put the order in before telling us the amount. Elijah paid before we headed to the pickup area. We picked up our order before finding a spot to sit. We sat down and tried our food. I dipped my pretzel bun into the soup before taking a bite. I moaned in delight as the taste touched my tongue.

"Good?" Kate questioned as she came over with the same soup.

"Very," I replied as Cole tried the soup.

"She's right," Cole said as he took a bit more of the soup and sipped it. "Mm..."

Everyone else joined us and ate their food before we headed to the Appleseed Orchard Booth.

We got into line and looked at the menu. I already found something I wanted. Ten minutes later, we were at the cashier's table and were ordering our next course.

"We would like two Apple Crumble Tarts, two Apple Chips, one Frozen Apple Pie and three Cinamon Apple Ciders," Elijah ordered.

The cast member did the order before Elijah paid, and she gave him a receipt. We headed to the pickup window and picked up the order before finding a spot to eat. Elijah and I cut the Apple Crumble tarts in half and shared them with Buffy and Cole. The others joined us as I took a sip of my Frozen Apple Pie drink.

"So, where to next?" Jeremy asked.

I sighed as I rolled my eyes at Jeremy's question.

"Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival," Rebekah told him as she cut her tart and shared it with him.

"Okay," Jeremy responded before taking a bite.

We went back to eating and talking about other things.

After eating, we headed to the Imagination Pallivon. It didn't take long before we got into line. Twenty minutes later, we sat down in the theatre before watching the pre-show and the Frozen Fever Short. After the short, we met and took pictures with Mickey before heading outside.

"Where to next?" Leo asked.

"To our dinner spot," Elijah answered as we headed to our dinner spot.

Ten minutes later, we were at the Refreshment Port. We got in line and looked at the menu as we talked amongst ourselves. A little while later, it was our turn to order.

"What can I get for you?" the cast member asked.

"We would like two Braised Beef Poutine, one Tradition Poutine, one Chicken breast Nuggets, and three Maple Boursin Cheesecakes," I ordered.

The cast member put the order in. This time I paid for the group. We headed over to the pickup window and waited for the order. It didn't take long for our order to be ready. We picked up our order before heading over to a group of tables. We sat down to eat as the others joined us with their food. We got down and started eating our dinner before snacking our dessert.

"Time to head back," Finn voiced as we got up and headed for the Skyliner.

We got onto the Skyliner and were headed to the terminal before getting on another Skyline. We were on our way back to the hotel. When we got back to the hotel, we headed back to our room. Elijah got Persephone's food ready before I grabbed a clean bib from the diaper bag.

"Daddy will be feeding you, Persephone," I told Persphone as I placed her bib on her before putting her on the highchair.

"Daddy has some yummy pureed Beans for you and some apple sauce for dessert," Elijah voiced as he sat down in front of her and started feeding her.

Persephone had her hands in her mouth before Elijah took them out and gave her a bit of her dinner. I walked into the bedroom.

I got undressed before putting on my PJs. I put my dirty clothes into my laundry bag. I took off my magic band put it on the table before taking off my hat and brushing my hair. I took my jewelry off but kept my Trinity necklace and Claddagh ring on. I put the jewelry and other accessories into their boxes before doing the same with my shoes. I grabbed Persephone's sleeper out of her luggage before heading out of the bedroom.

When I walked into the living room, I saw Cole now feeding Persephone, and Elijah wasn't in the room.

"Where's Elijah?" I asked.

"Giles called him. He had to take the call outside," Buffy said from the couch in her PJs.

Our watcher Giles was looking for us after we left Sunnydale. I know what we did was cruel that we didn't tell him or the gang we were okay, but we needed time after I killed Angel and Buffy getting kicked out of school.

"Okay," I replied as I sat down next to her before taking a sip of the rest of my Frozen Apple Pie drink.

"What should we watch tonight?" Cole asked.

"What about a Disney Nature Movie?" I suggested.

"Which one?" Buffy questioned.

"Just pick one," Cole responded as Cole started to feed Persephone the apple sauce.

By the time Elijah came back. It was for Persephone's bath, and it was Cole's turn to bathe her.

"Where's Cole and Persephone?" Elijah asked as he came back into the room.

"Bath time," I told him as I cleaned up Persephone's dinner mess.

"I'll go help him," Elijah said.

"Can you take the sleeper into the bathroom?" I asked him as I pointed to Persephone's sleeper for bed.

"I will," Elijah said as he grabbed the sleeper before kissing my cheek and heading into the bathroom.

I finished cleaning up Persephone's dinner before watching the bowl and spoon clean with soap and water. Buffy made her bottle before handing it over to me. She dried the bowl and spoon as I warmed up the bottle. Ten minutes later, Persephone was washed, dried, new diaper and a clean sleeper. We also started the teeth brushing as well with her.

"Who's feeding her tonight?" I asked.

"I will be," Elijah said as he took the warmed bottle in his hand before Persephone grabbed onto it and stuck it in her mouth.

I could tell Persephone was thirsty for her bottle as Elijah sang to her as she fed. I grabbed an animal board book from her bag after she was burped and told her the names of the animals as she or I pointed to them. She turned the page as we went.

"Someone's tired," I said as Persephone yawned. "Time for bed." I got up with her in my arms and headed to the bedroom.

When we got into the bedroom, I gave Persephone her soother before laying her down in the playpen. Elijah laid the blanket down on her before turning on the noise machine. Cole turned the light off as I took the baby monitor and headed out of the room with Elijah behind me. Buffy started the Disney nature movie that she picked before we sat down and watched. Two hours later, it was time for bed. Buffy and I headed to the bathroom to brush our teeth.

Buffy and I took turns brushing our teeth while the other talked.

"What do you Giles wanted?" Buffy asked.

"Probably wanting to know where we were or if Elijah had seen us," I answered.

I spit my toothpaste out before rinsing my mouth out and rinsing my toothbrush. I put my toothbrush and toothpaste back into the toiletries bag.

"I hate having Elijah or one of the others lying to him and the others," Buffy voiced as she started to brush her teeth.

"Me too, but it's for our protection," I told her. "I mean, we needed to get out of town after Kendra, you getting kicked out of school, aunt Joyce finding out, and me killing Angel."

Buffy quickly brushed her teeth before rinsing her mouth. We headed out of the bathroom to see her bed pulled down.

"Thank you, Elijah," Buffy said as she saw him near the bed.

"Your welcome and night, Buffy," Elijah replied as he took his hand in mine.

"Night," Buffy and I voiced.

Elijah and I walked into the bedroom before getting into bed with Cole. I turned over as Elijah's arm wrapped around me and fell asleep.

Time Skip

It was morning, and Persephone was getting fed her breakfast before we headed out to Epcot. I made up the bottles for the park before placing them into the diaper bag. 

"Persephone, are you all done?" I asked as she pushed Buffy's hand away from her mouth.

"By the looks of it, she is," Buffy said as Elijah took the spoon and bowl away.

Cole cleaned her face as I got her baby toothbrush and paste.

"Persephone, open your mouth," I said as I showed her how.

She opened her mouth and laughed before I saw her first tooth for the first time.

"Elijah!" I yelled.

"What? What is it?" Elijah asked as he came into the room.

"She has her first teeth," I answered with a smile and picked her up in excitement. "She has her first tooth."

"Now, let's brush these teeth and her gums," Cole voiced as he took the toothbrush and paste from me. 

He brushed her first teeth and gums before I placed her back in her stroller and did up the straps.

"Let's head out," Buffy voiced as she came over to us.

We headed out of the room before meeting up with the others at the Skyliner. We were off to Epcot.

When we got to Epcot, we headed to the Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie. We got into line and waited for it to open. We were late getting into the park today. It didn't take long for the dining location to open. We headed to look for what we wanted for breakfast. My group ordered first.

"What can I get for you?" A cast member asked.

"We would like the Croissant Jambon Fromage, two Croissant Amandes, a Pain au Chocolat, a Macarons Collection, two Jus D'Orange, and two Café," Elijah ordered.

The cast member got it together as Elijah paid. We picked up the order before finding seats to sit and eat our breakfast. A little while later, the others joined us with their order.

"What has you so excited about?" Kate asked.

"Persephone's first teeth have appeared," I voiced.

"That's amazing," Kyra voiced.

We got back to eating before heading out towards the Land Pallivon.  

When we got to the Land Pallivon, Persephone was asleep for her morning nap. 

"What's our first ride?" Andy asked.

"Soaring," Elijah answered.

"Who's staying with Persephone while she naps?" I asked.

"I will be," Klaus voiced.

"Are you sure?" Kyra questioned.

"Of course. Go have fun," Klaus answered before kissing her cheek and taking the stroller from me.

We headed got into line for Soaring.

A half-hour later, we were in front of the line and were waiting our turn on Soaring. The group before us was let off as we had watched the pre-show before heading into the room. We took our seats and buckled ourselves in. After everyone was buckled in, we were off on a soaring journey.

After the ride, we met up with Klaus and Persephone. Klaus was feeding her a bottle of formula.  

"How was the ride?" Klaus asked.

"It was fun," Rebekah voiced.

"We saw many places as we soared over them," Finn answered.

"What are we going on next?" Leo asked.

"Awesome Planet," Jenna answered. 

"Who's staying with Persephone this time?" Elijah questioned.

"I am, this time," Cole voiced as he took Persephone from Klaus. "Go have fun." He kissed my cheek before heading over to the line and got in.

An hour later, it was our turn in the theatre. The group before us were let out before we headed in and got into our seats. It didn't take long before the theatre darkened. Moments later, the show began and we were seeing our planet.

After the ride, we met up with Cole and Persephone. 

"Last ride in the Land Pallivon is Living with Land before lunch," Klaus voiced as we headed over to stroller parking.

We parked our stroller and put a protection spell over it before heading to the line. We got into line and waited our turn. An hour later, it was our turn on the ride. I had Persephone on my lap as Elijah was on one side of me, and Cole was on the other with Buffy. Kate, Leo, Finn, and Kol were behind us. Kyra, Andy, Klaus and Jenna were in the row behind him, while Rebekah and Jeremy were in the row behind them with other people. A couple of minutes later, we were off on the Living with the land journey.

After the ride, we got back to the stroller before heading to the Garden Grill for lunch. We checked in and were waiting for our tables to be ready. Ten minutes later, our tables were ready for us before we were shown to them. When we got to the tables, Elijah helped Persephone into the highchair at the table. We sat down and ordered our drinks.

"I would like water," I voiced.

"Me too," Cole voiced.

"I'll have the Frozen Lemonade," Buffy ordered.

"I'll have a glass of Red Sangria," Elijah ordered.

The cast member left to put our drink orders in as we waited for our family-style food to arrive. Cole pulled Persephone's pureed food out before warming it and started feeding her as she opened her mouth. 

"What are we doing after this?" Jeremy asked.

"Well, we're going to enjoy some more booths before shopping at ImageWorks," Jenna answered. "And then eat at some more booths." 

"What booths are we eating at today?" Rebekah asked.

"We are doing Earth Eats, The Noodle Exchange before ImageWorks, then Shimmering Sips and Australia," Elijah answered as our family-style food arrived. "For dinner, we're eating at Hawaii Booth and the Swanky Sauce Swine Booth."

"Are we doing any more rides or attractions today?" Andy asked as we dug into our food.

"We are doing the Seas with Nemo and Friends and looking at the aquarium in the World Nature Pallivon," Finn answered.

We stopped eating as the characters came by our table. We took pictures with Chip and Dale, Pluto and Goofy before they headed off to another table. We went back to eating as Persephone banged on the table for some more food. Cole gave her a bit more before she was done eating. 

A half-hour later, Persephone had been put down for her afternoon nap. While we headed to our next eating place, some of our group were still hungry and watching to try some more cuisine. We headed to Earth Eats and looked at the menu before getting into line.

"What can I get for you all?" A cast member asked.

"We would like one Impossible Slider, one Impossible Three Bean Chili, and two Spiced Apple Twinings of London Chai Tea," Elijah ordered.

Elijah paid before heading to the pick-up window and grabbing our order. We headed to a group of tables before Elijah and Cole walked away and headed to The Noodle Exchange. 

"So, what do you of your tea?" Buffy asked as she cut the Impossible Slider in half before giving me half.

"It tastes very good," I answered after taking a sip of my Spiced Apple Twinings of London Chai Tea. 

"Can I try?" Buffy asked before taking a bite of the slider.

"Of course," I responded as I slid my drink over and took a bite of my half of the Slider.

"Mm... You're right. This is good," Buffy voiced as Elijah and Cole walked over with noodle bowls.

"What did you get?" I asked them.

"I got the Traditional Spicy Vietnamese Beef Pho with Shaved Beef, Enoki Mushrooms and Thai Basil," Elijah answered.

"And... I got the Shrimp and Coconut Curry Rice Noodles with Shiitake Mushrooms and Thai Basil," Cole told us as they sat down and ate with us.

The rest of our group joined us with food choices. We ate our after-lunch food before getting up with our drinks and heading off to our first shopping spot of the day.

We walked over to ImageWorks and headed in before looking around. Elijah had the stroller with a sleeping Persephone inside as I looked around. I found a shirt for Persephone that she would have to grow into.

"Found something?" Cole asked.

"A shirt for Persephone. She'll have to grow into it," I said as I showed it to him.

"I'll go pay for this. While you look around," Cole voiced as I headed deeper into ImageWorks.

I found some personalized Pictures that I would like to do when Persephone is awake to do them.  

"Found something to do?" Elijah questioned as he came over.

"Yeah, but after Persephone is awake," I voiced.

"Good idea," Elijah said as he looked at the pictures.

We headed over to interactive areas and had some fun. Cole and the others came over joined us. Then we walked out of the store before heading to Shimmering Sips for our next round of booths.

When we got to Shimmering Sips, we looked at the menu before getting into line. Twenty minutes later, we were in the front of the line. We were waiting for the group in front of us to be done ordering. A couple of minutes later, we were at the cashier desk and starting to order.

"What can I get for you all?" a cast member asked.

"We would like two Shimmering Strawberry Soft-serve in a Waffle Cone, two Banana Bread with Mixed Berry Compote..." Elijah ordered. "And two CORKCICLE Stemless Flute."

The cast member put the order before telling us the amount. Elijah paid before being given a receipt and headed to the pick-up area. We grabbed our order. Buffy and I put our Corkcicle Stemless Flutes into our bags before helping Elijah and Cole with our treats. We headed over and found a seat before Elijah and Cole cut the banana bread with Mixed Berry Compote in half. Buffy and I ate our soft serve ice cream before joining the boys and eating our halves of the Banana bread. The others joined us with their food. 

After eating our treats, we headed for the Australia booth before reading the menu and getting into line. Thirty minutes later, it was our turn to order.

"What can I get for you?" A cast member asked.

"We would like two Deconstructed Pavlova, a Roasted Lamb Chop and a Grilled Sweet and Spicy Bush Berry Shrimp," Elijah ordered.

The cast member put the order before telling the amount. Elijah paid before he was given the receipt. We headed over to the pickup area and picked up our order before finding another spot to sit with our food. We found a group of tables where we could eat as the others joined us. 

"What did you get, Aurora and Buffy?" Kyra asked.

"We got the Deconstructed Pavlova with Pastry Cream, Citrus-macerated Berries and Lemon Myrtle Meringue," Buffy answered.

Buffy and I dug into our deconstructed dessert and started eating as the others dug into their foods.

After eating at the Australia booth, we headed to the Port of Entry to pick up our Hide & Squeak maps and do a little shopping. When we got there, we split up and looked around. Twenty minutes later, we had bought a Food and Wine Festival Tray, a Remy Food and Wine Manget, and a Belle Top for Persephone. Each room group bought a Remy's Hide & Squeak map before leaving the Port of Entry. 

Just as we were leaving the Port of Entry, Persephone woke up crying. 

"Persephone is up and ready for a diaper change," I said as I headed over to the closest bathroom with changing table.

When I got into the bathroom, I changed her diaper before washing my hands and picking her up. I put her back into the stroller before heading out of the bathroom. I found the others near Disney Traders before warming up a bottle of formula for her. Cole took the bottle from me before taking Persephone out of the stroller to feed her.

"She's all changed and now is being fed," Cole voiced before saying. "You all go shopping. I'll join you when she's done."

I kissed his cheek before joining the others as they headed into Disney Traders.

When I walked into Disney Traders, Elijah joined me as I looked around for something I might like to buy. Fifteen minutes later, we were done shopping. We purchased an extra small 'I'm just here for the snacks' shirt, a Belle onesie, an Aurora onesie, a 'My First Visit Hat' and plenty of pressed pennies. We headed out of the store where Cole and Persephone were heading towards us.

"Already done? We were just about to join you," Cole said.

"Yep, all done," Kate answered as she came up behind us.

"Where to next?" I asked.

"We are heading to the Nature Pallivon," Finn answered as Kyra and Jenna's groups joined us.

We headed off towards the Nature Pallvion.

When we got to the Nature Pallivon, we walked in and headed straight for the stroller parking before getting into line for the Seas with Nemo and Friends. Thirty minutes later, we were waiting for our shell to arrive. Moments later, it was our turn. Elijah and I got on with Persephone as Cole and Buffy got on the Shell behind us. Kate and Leo were together, Kyra and Andy were together, and Jenna and Kol were in one. Klaus and Finn were in one, and Rebekah and Jeremy were in another. We were off into the world of Nemo.

After the ride, we got the stroller back before enjoying what else the Nature Pallivon had to offer. We talked with Crush, took pictures with Bruce and saw marine life in the aquariums before heading to SeaBase Gifts for some shopping. We had bought a squirt plush for Persephone and didn't find anything else that we wanted to get. We walked out of the store and waited for the others to join us.

"Where to next?" Kate asked.

"We are going on Journey to Imagination with figment," Finn answered as he looked at his phone.

"Then to have some fun in ImageWorks interactive area and get personalized pictures done," Klaus voiced as his group came over.

"Let's head over," Elijah responded as he took the stroller.

We headed off to our next destination.

When we got to the ride, we put our stroller in stroller parking before putting the protection spell on it. I had Persephone in my arms as we got into line. Thirty minutes later, we were in front of the line and were waiting for our ride vehicle. Moments later, Cole, Persephone and I got on the ride vehicle. We were off on a journey into the imagination.

After the ride, we got into a line to meet Vanallope from Wreck-it Ralph before doing some of the interactive stuff around ImageWorks. Elijah came back with the stroller before heading off to do some Personalized Photos. We did 6 pictures each before paying for them and getting them printed off. 

"Where to now?" Rebekah asked as I placed Persephone back into the stroller.

"We are heading to get some food before heading back to the hotel," Jenna answered.

"Where?" Jeremy asked.

"The Hawaii Booth and the Swanky Sauce Swine Booth," Cole answered.

We headed out of ImageWorks before heading towards the booths.

When we got to the first booth, we looked at the menu before walking to the line and getting in. Fifteen minutes later, we were at the cashier's table ordering.

"What can I get for you all?" A cast member asked.

"We would like two of the Kālua Pork Slider, two of the Tuna Poke and four of the Passion Fruit Cheesecake," Elijah ordered.

The cashier put the order before telling Elijah the amount. Elijah paid before we headed to the pickup area and got our festival books stamped for our cheesecakes. We headed to find a spot to eat.

We found a spot to sit before eating our order from the first booth as the others joined us.

"So, you got the Passion Fruit Cheesecake too," Kyra voiced.

"Well, it is on Emile's Montage," Buffy voiced as I continued to eat Kalua Pork Slider that I ordered.

We continued eating what we ordered before heading to our next booth for part 2 of our dinner.

When we got to the booth, we looked at the menu before walking into the line and waiting our turn. Twenty minutes later, we were next to order. We walked up to the cashier's desk and ordered.

"Hi, we would like the Soy-glazed Sticky Ribs, two of the Roasted Porchetta, one of the Crispy Pig Ear Salad, and four of the Crispy Barbecue Pork Rinds," Cole ordered.

The cast member put the order in before telling him the amount. Cole paid before we headed to the pick-up window. We picked up our order before getting our books stamped for the Crispy Barbecue Pork Rinds. We headed off and found Kyra's group at a table with their food from the Swanky Sauce Swine.

"Got the same order," Kyra voiced as she nodded to my soy-glazed Sticky ribs.

I nodded before chowing down on the ribs. Kate and Jenna's groups joined us a bit later before they chowed down on part 2 of dinner. After eating, we wiped our hands and faces before heading to the Skyliner. We got onto the Skyliner and headed back to the hotel.

Fifteen minutes later, we were back in the room. Elijah was getting Persephone's dinner ready as the rest of us took turns showering before getting dressed in our Pjs. When I got back into the room, Elijah was feeding Persephone her dinner, Buffy was on her laptop, and Cole was his. I walked into the bedroom and grabbed my laptop and charger before joining the others. I walked back out and sat next to Buffy. She was watching a Disney short.

"So, who's turn to bath Persephone?" Elijah asked.

"My turn," I replied as I looked up before turning on my laptop and plugging in the charger.

I pulled up the website that I had made for my business. I got to work on the page people would first see. Ten minutes later, it was time for Persephone's bath. I picked Persephone out of the high chair before heading to the bathroom. Cole came in with her sleeper before helping me get the water right for her. I undressed her before taking off her diaper and put her into the bathtub seat. I bathed her before taking her out and drying her off. Cole put on her diaper before putting her sleeper on. 

"Time for a yummy bottle, huh, miss. Persephone," I voiced as I talked to my daughter as we headed out of the bathroom.

We walked into the living room before Elijah handed me her bottle. I took it as Persephone grabbed onto the bottle stuck it into her mouth before starting to suck. I sang her a little lullaby as she drank her bottle down before reading her story about a mouse and a cookie. I burped her before getting up and heading back into the bedroom. I gave her soother before laying her down in the playpen and putting her blanket down.

"Night, my love. May your dreams bring you happiness," I whispered as I turned on the noise machine before heading out of the room.

When I walked into the living room, I opened my laptop and got back to work on the website. Three hours later, it was time for bed. Buffy and I brushed our teeth first before getting out of the bathroom.

"Night, Aurora," Buffy said.

"Night," I replied before walking into the bedroom.

I got into bed and waited for the boys. Five minutes later, the boys joined me before I went to sleep.

A Giant Time Skip...

Dear Diary,

2nd Full Day at Epcot: We had breakfast at the hotel before heading to Epcot. After getting to Epcot, we started at our next Food & Wine Booth. It was the France Booth. We got the Beignet aux Trois Fromages (Buffy and I) and the Crème Brûlée au Grand Mariner (Cole & Elijah). After eating, we got in line for Remy's Ratatouille Adventure Ride.

After that, we went to bed ourselves.

3rd Full Day at Epcot: We had a quick breakfast in our hotel room before leaving for Epcot. When we got there, we headed to United Kingdom Pallivon. After we got there, we saw that the Ireland Booth was open. We looked at the menu before we got in line. We tried the Warm Chocolate Pudding Cake with Irish Cream Liqueur Custard and the Roasted Irish Sausage with Colcannon Potatoes and Onion Gravy. We headed towards Mission Space, where more booths were. The first booth in the area was called Flavours of Fire. We tried The S’mores Whoopie Pie-lon and The Corned Beef Corner Route. We got our stamp for the Corned Beef Corner Route. After eating, we put Persephone down for her morning nap before heading to our next booth called the Mac & Cheese Booth. We were surprised it was unrestricted and accepting visitors as the booth wasn't supposed to be open until Oct 1st. We tried Traditional Macaroni and Cheese with Herbed Panko and the Cowboy Macaroni and Cheese with Smoked Pork Belly, Brisket Burnt Ends, Pickled Peppers and Onion Straws. The third booth we tried was called the Donut Box. We got The Donut Box: Pack of the 4 Daily Donuts, which was easier to share than buying separate donuts. After chowing down on the donuts, we headed to our last eating spot before we took a break. The area was called the Brew Wing at Epcot Experience. We tried Garlic-Parmesan Wings with Celery and Ranch & the Cheese Flatbread. After eating, Persephone woke from her nap and needed a diaper change and bottle. After Persephone was changed and fed, we walked towards our first ride called Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros. It was Thirty minutes wait before we got on. Persephone enjoyed the ride. After the ride, we looked at the Mexican Folk Art Gallery before heading out to our lunch location. We had lunch at Space 220. My room group tried Blue Moon Cauliflower, Centauri Caesar Salad, and Big Bang Burrata for our Liftoffs. For our Star Course, we tried the Steak & Frites, Supreme Chicken Breast, Centauri Burger, and the Terra-Bolognese. Buffy, Cole and I got the Zero-Proof Cocktails. Cole and I tried the Moon Rocks, which came in a souvenir cup, while Buffy tried the Lightyear Lemonade, which also came in a souvenir cup. Elijah got a glass of wine to drink with his lunch. Persephone had pureed squash and pureed beans for her lunch.

After Lunch, Persephone was put down for her afternoon nap while we shopped and had some fun. The boys, Buffy and Jenna went on the Mission Space Ride while Kate, Kyra, Rebekah, and I looked at the gift shop. I didn't find anything I wanted, but Rebekah got something for Jeremy to give to Xander. The boys, Jenna and Buffy joined as we headed out of Mission Space Cargo. Then we headed to Club Cool. We all 6 samples of different sodas from around the world before Buffy bought a Coca-Cola water bottle. After that, we headed to Creations Shop to look around and shop. We bought an Epcot Travel Mug, an Epcot Space Cup & Straw, and Merida Play Dress for Persephone. After that, we headed to El Ranchito Del Norte.

We all had water with our orders. Persephone had pureed sweet potato, pureed chicken and pureed peaches. After dinner, we headed back to the hotel via Skyliner before getting back to our room. When we got back to the room, Elijah bathed Persephone before I fed her a bottle and put her down to sleep. After she fell asleep, the rest of us did our own thing again before going to sleep.

4th Full Day at Epcot: Persephone had her breakfast in the hotel room before leaving for Epcot. When we got to Epcot, we headed to Akershus Royal Banquet Hall for our breakfast. We enjoyed our food. We took pictures with all the princesses that were there. Persephone had been put down for her morning nap after breakfast while we looked around the Norway Pallivon. We found Remy and put the sticker on the Map before heading to Stave Church Gallery. After reading what was in Stave Church, we headed to Kringla Bakerie Og Kafe for a snack. We tried the School Bread, which was yummy before Persephone woke from her nap. Persephone was changed and fed before we headed for stroller parking at the Frozen Ever After Ride. Persephone loved the music and fake snow but almost caused a little real snow before Cole and I stopped her. After the ride, we got the stroller before getting into line to meet Ana & Elsa. We took pictures with each of them before heading out for lunch. We headed next to the Pallivon and ate at the China Booth. We tried Pan-fried Chicken Dumplings with House-made Sweet and Spicy Sauce & and the ZiRan Beef Bao Bun: Grilled Beef with Cumin. Persephone had pureed carrots and chicken.

After eating there, we headed to the Germany booth. We tried Schinkennudeln: Pasta Gratin with Ham, Onions and Cheese and the Apple Strudel with Vanilla Sauce. When we were done eating from the Germany booth, Persephone had awakened and needed a diaper change and bottle before we headed to meet Snow White. We took pictures with her before we headed off to Bijutsu-kan Gallery. After that, we headed to our first shopping spot in the Germany Pallivon. The first store was called Die Weihnachts. We bought a Handmade Minnie Mouse Plush. Then we headed next door to the Karamell-Kuche. First, we bought Pre-packaged Werther's Original Popcorn, Werther's Green Apple Filled, Werther's Hard Candy Caramel Filled, Werther's Vanilla Creme and Werther's Salted Caramel. Then, we bought Werther's Original Popcorn, Caramel & Chocolate Pretzels, Caramel & Milk Chocolate Pretzels, Milk Chocolate Caramel with Sea Salt, Caramel S'mores, a Salted Caramel Cupcake, and a Pumpkin Spice Caramel Square for treats. We ate the Salt Caramel Cupcakes and Werther's Original Popcorn. After that, we found Remy before heading to our dinner location.

We ate at the Italy Booth. We got Mezzelune Croccanti, Ravioli and the Bomboloni. We enjoyed it before having some floats with Gelato at Gelateria Toscana for dessert. We headed back to the hotel. When we got to the hotel room, Persephone had dinner. She had pureed chicken with peas and applesauce for dinner. Then she was given a bath, a diaper change and was ready for bed. Buffy fed her a bottle before I laid her down to sleep. After she fell asleep, we ate the rest of the treats from Karamell-Kuche as we did our own thing before going to bed.

5th Full Day at Epcot: On our last full day in Epcot, we had breakfast again in the hotel room before leaving for the park via cars this time. When we walked through the main entrance of Epcot, we saw Mickey, Minnie and Pluto. They were taking pictures with everyone. We got to line for each of them and took pictures with them before heading to finish up Remy's Hide & Squeak. It didn't take long for us to finish it as we had done most of it after we got it. We took our finished maps and got our prizes before Persephone went down for her morning nap. While Persephone napped, we did the American Adventure before looking around the American Pallivon. Persephone had awakened before we went to American Heritage Gallery. She had needed a diaper change and bottle before we headed into the Gallery. Elijah, Finn, Kate, and I all enjoyed reading the heritage stuff in the Gallery. An hour later, it was time for lunch. We ate at Regal Eagle Smokehouse. We got the Memphis Dry-rub Pork Ribs with Mac & Cheese, Sliced Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich with Onion Rings, North Carolina Chopped Smoked Pork Butt Platter with Seasoned French Fries, and Power Greens Salad with Pulled Chicken. We also got Berry Punch and Hot Tea to drink and Banana Pudding for dessert. Persephone had pureed beef and pureed carrots for lunch before she was laid down for a nap.

A lot of us were still hungry after eating from the smokehouse, so we headed to our first food booth in the American Pallivon called Hops & Barley. We tried Hot Beef Sandwich with Horseradish Cream and Pickled Vegetables and the Freshly Baked Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing. After that, we headed to the Rotunda Bistro. Finn, Kate and Rebekah all tried the food before we headed to our last stop at the Food & Wine booths. The Place was called the Funnel Cake stand. We got the specialty Funnel cake, which was yummy. After we were done eating, Persephone had awoken, and it was time for a diaper change and bottle. After she was fed and changed, we rode the Frozen Ever After Ride again before shopping at The Fjording. We bought a Frozen Photo Frame and a Baby Sven Plush. After shopping, we headed to Test Track for some fun before Elijah, Persephone, and Cole headed back to the hotel via the Skyliner. The rest of us stuck around. We looked at other booths and ate other treats that we hadn't tried before we had dinner at the Nine Dragons Restaurant. Buffy and I tried the Honey-Seasame Chicken, the Pot Stickers, and the ice cream.

After eating dinner, we headed out of the restaurant with the group to find a good spot for Harmonious. We found a spot to stand and watch the show. We talked for hours until the show started. After the show, we headed to the cars and drove back to the hotel. Buffy and I headed back to our rooms, showered, packed everything we unpacked and went to bed.

Today is Checkout Day.

A* 

I closed my journal before putting it into my carry-on. I looked over to see Persephone drinking her after-nap bottle as I joined Buffy and Cole to make sure everything was ready to go.

"Is everything ready to go?" Elijah asked as he fed Persephone her last spoon full of cereal.

"Yeah, everything is ready and on the luggage cart," I answered as I placed my carry-on over my shoulder.

"Okay," Elijah said as he gave the spoon and bowl over to Cole to wash up before he wiped Persephone's face clean.

After he wiped her face, I picked Persephone out of the highchair and placed her stroller before doing up the straps. 

"Ready to go," Buffy voiced as we headed out of the room one last time.

After we left the room, we headed for the main lobby. The girls, Jeremy, Andy, Leo, Kol, Cole and I headed to the Ink & Paint Shop. Jenna, Finn, Elijah, and Klaus headed to check out with the luggage cart. We walked into the store and started to look around. It didn't take long before I found something.

"Found something," Kyra asked as she held the same shirt.

"Yeah," I answered as I looked for my size in the shirt before finding it. 

I continued to look around as I pushed the stroller.

A half-hour later, we were done shopping and had paid for them. We headed outside and waited for the cars. Buffy and I bought Art of Animation Shirts, Art of Amination Mugs, Art of Animation Pressed Pennies, an Ink & Paint Ears, a Special Moments Eva Puzzle, Skyliner Socks, an Art of Animation Photo Frame, Art of Animation Ornament, and a Sleeping Beauty Book Journal. 

"What did you buy?" Kate asked.

"A lot of Art of Animation products and I got a new journal," I answered.

"Me too," Kate responded.

"Me as well," Kyra voiced.

"What was yours?" I asked.

"I got the Cinderella Book journal," Kate answered.

"I got the Snow White Book Journal," Kyra responded before asking. "You?"

"I got the Sleeping Beauty Book Journal," I replied.

"That matches your name," Kate said.

"Yeah, I guess it did," I returned as the cars drove up to us.

Buffy and I put our bags into souvenir luggage bags before closing them up. Cole got out before getting Persephone situated in her car seat. 

"Go and get in. I'll put the stroller in," Cole told us.

"Okay," Buffy and I responded before getting into the car and doing our seatbelts.

He put the stroller in the trunk and closed the trunk door before he put Persephone's sunscreen down before closing the door. He got into the passenger seat, and we were off to Disney Springs.

Twenty minutes later, we were at the lime garage. Elijah got Persephone's stroller and diaper bag out as I got Persephone out of the car seat. After Elijah got the stroller set up, I placed Persephone into the stroll before doing the straps.

"Where are we eating brunch?" Jenna asked.

"We are having brunch at Wine Bar George," Finn answered.

We started our way to Wine Bar George.

When we got there, we checked in and waited. A little while later, we were shown our tables by a waiter. The waiter gave us our menus before leaving. We looked at the menus in front of us. 

"What can I start you with?" a waiter asked as he arrived at our table.

"I would like water," I answered.

"Me too," Buffy voiced.

"Me as well," Cole replied.

"That would be four glasses of water," Elijah stated.

"What about for appetizers?" the waiter asked.

"I would the Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites," I voiced.

"I would like the same," Cole answered.

"Me too," Buffy voiced.

"Are you ready to order your entrees?" the waiter asked as he wrote the appetizers down.

"I believe, we are," Elijah answered as he looked up. "I would you like the Eggs Benedict." 

"I would like the French Toast with Chicken Sausage," I ordered.

"I will have the Wine Country Omelet," Cole voiced.

"I will have the Sausage Gravy and Biscuits with two eggs," Buffy responded.

"Okay, I'll be back with your waters and appetizers," the waiter said as he put our entrees on the order pad.

Twenty minutes later, our waters and appetizers were here. We ate our appetizers before our entrees arrived. We started into them as Persephone dropped her toy on the ground. Cole reached down and picked it up before giving it back to her. Cole dug back into his omelet, and we continued eating. 

An hour later, it was time for Persephone's lunch. Elijah was feeding her pureed chicken and rice as we ate our desserts. Buffy, Cole and I got key lime pie. Fifteen minutes later, she was done eating, and Elijah was paying for brunch. After Elijah paid and left a tip, we headed to the baby center to change Persephone's diaper. Another fifteen minutes later, Persephone was down for her afternoon nap, and we were heading out for our first stop. 

"Where are we going?" Jeremy asked.

"The Art Corner," Klaus answered.

We headed over to the Art Corner.

When we got to the Art Corner, we headed in and started to look around. We saw many art opportunities that had there. Jeremy, Kate, Kyra, Klaus and I headed straight for the art kits and sketchbooks that we saw. 

"What can I get for you all?" a man asked as he came over.

"I don't know about them, but I need some sketchbooks. I finished the two sketchbooks and a new art kit," I answered.

"I need the same," Kate said.

"Met too," Kyra and Jeremy voiced.

"I just need two sketchbooks and sketch pencils," Klaus answered.

The man got what we wanted before we headed to the cashier desk. 

"Is this separate or together?" the man asked.

"It's together," Klaus answered before one of us could speak.

Klaus paid for the sketchbooks and art kits. After that, we headed out of the store. 

"Where are going next?" Rebekah asked.

"Disney's World of Memories," Jenna answered.

We headed over to the next store.

When we got to World of Memories, we walked in and headed to the Hats. We looked for graduation Hats and picked up 14 graduation hats, but Elijah, Klaus and Finn had three extra for some reason. 

"Here, we'll get these done, go get something to eat," Elijah said as he took mine and Willow's from me.

We headed out of the store.

"Where should we go?" Kate asked.

"Let's go to Ghirardelli Soda Fountain," Kyra suggested.

We headed over to Ghirardelli Soda Fountain.

When we got to the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain, we got into line. We looked at the menu before it was our turn to order.

 "What can I get for you ladies?" a worker asked.

"I would like the Magical Sundae," I answered.

"I would like the Frozen Hot Cocoa," Kate responded.

"I will have the Sea Salt Caramel Banana Shake," Kyra voiced.

"I want a Medium Chocolate Lover’s Shake," Buffy said.

"I will have the same," Rebekah replied.

After we ordered, Rebekah paid before we got our treats. We headed outside to eat our treats. 

An hour and a half later, the boys had found us. They were holding the embroidered hats. They were also holding Gideon's bakehouse bags. 

"Time to go," Elijah said as we got up and were headed back to the lime garage.

When we got back to the cars, Persephone was still asleep in the stroller. We put the bags into the car before getting Persephone situated in the car seat and closing the door. Elijah put the stroller back in the trunk as Buffy, Cole and I got into the car and did our seatbelts before Cole and I closed the doors. Elijah got back into the car and started it. We were off to our next hotel. 

Chapter Text

Thirty minutes later, we were at the Polynesian Resort. The Boys and Jenna went to get luggage carts. We got the luggage out before getting the stroller out. I quietly got Persephone out of the car seat and into the stroller as the boys and Jenna returned.

"We have checked in and were told where we are going," Elijah voiced.

"What are the room assignments?" Rebekah asked.

"Kyra, Klaus, Andy, Buffy, Aurora, Cole, Persephone, and I," Elijah answered.

"Jenna, Kate, Andy, Kol, Rebekah, Jeremy, Kol and I," Finn voiced as they put the luggage onto the luggage carts.

We headed off to where the boys and Jenna were leading.

They led us towards two side-by-side bungalows. It was by the water, and we would be able to see the fireworks from our porch. We separated and headed into the bungalows with a luggage cart each. I tapped my magic band to the door lock before I heard the click for me to open the door. I opened the door and pushed the stroller through, and we walked into the bungalow. 

"I got a high chair and playpen for the bungalow," Elijah told me.

"Okay, who is sleeping where?" Kyra asked.

"We'll take the King Size bedroom," Cole said.

"Then we'll take the Queen Size Bedroom," Klaus voiced.

"And I take the pullout," Buffy responded.

We headed to the Kingsize bedroom. 

When we walked into the Kingsize bedroom, we laid our bags down on the bed and found the playpen in the closet. Elijah got it out and situated it. I got Persephone out and laid her in the playpen. Cole laid her blanket on before I got the baby monitor situated and on before we left the room. We found the others outside on the balcony. I grabbed Persephone's diaper bag and luggage before putting the formula on the counter and her pureed foods in the fridge. I looked over at the baby monitor to see Persephone stirring but still asleep. I looked at the time on my phone and saw it was almost 2 pm.

"She'll be up soon," Elijah voiced.

"Yeah, I'll get her bottle ready," I responded as I got a clean bottle from her bag.

I boiled water before putting it into the clean bottle and put the right amount of formula in as Persephone woke. I shook the bottle before checking on my wrist. It was ready for her as Cole walked out with Persephone. He came over and took the bottle from me. Persephone held the bottle in her hands as Cole fed her. I headed outside to see the others.

"Hey," I said as I sat next to Kyra.

"Hey," Kyra replied.

"Persephone's awake. You can come back in," I told Kyra.

"I know, but I just wanted to feel the sun on my skin before those storm clouds come in," Kyra responded as she pointed to the storm clouds coming in.

"Where's Elijah?" Klaus asked as he looked up from his sketchbook.

"I'm assuming he's taking the luggage cart back," I answered.

"What were you doing during your nights after the park this past week?" Andy asked.

"Working on my website for my business," I answered.

"Why don't mash the businesses together?" Kyra suggested.

"You mean mash, art, designing and other business with yours fashion business?" I questioned.

"And Kate's event planning," Kyra voiced.

"Let's talk about that with Kate, first, before we do that," I returned.

"Okay," Kyra said.

"I'm gonna head in," I told them.

"We'll see you," Kyra replied as I headed in.

I walked back into the bedroom and got my laptop out. I plugged in my laptop to charge it. I also plugged my cellphone in. I pulled out my new sketchbook and art kit before getting to work. 

Two hours later, I finished the last of my art orders for the week. I put my art kit and sketchbook away before getting up and heading into the living room to see Persephone doing tummy time with Andy, Buffy and Kyra.

"Look, Persephone, there's mama," Kyra said as she picked her up.

Persephone smiled and laughed as she saw me.

"Hi, baby, did you miss me?" I asked as I took her from Kyra.

Persephone grabbed my nose. 

"That's my nose," I said as I laughed before touching her nose. "And this is your nose."

"Time to order for dinner," Elijah voiced.

"Who's first?" Cole asked.

"Ladies first," Klaus stated.

"Rock, Paper, scissors," Kyra suggested.

Kyra and I played Rock, Paper, and Scissors three times, and I won two times. I took the phone from Elijah and started our order. I picked Chicken Breast Nuggets - 8 Pieces, French Fries, Macaroni & Cheese, Aloha Cupcake and Gold Peak® Sweet Iced Tea Bottle for my dinner. 

"Your turn," I voiced as I handed the phone over to Kyra.

"Thank you, " Kyra said as she took the phone from me. 

We watched as Kyra chose her meal and drink before handing the phone over to Buffy. Buffy did the same before handing the phone to Andy. He repeated the process before handing it over to Cole. 

"Here," Cole said as he finished his meal order and handed the phone over to Elijah.

Elijah did his order before giving the phone to Klaus.

"Who's picking up the order?" Klaus asked as he finished his order and sent it in.

"I will," Elijah voiced.

"Me too," Andy responded.

"Me as well," Cole returned.

Elijah, Andy, Cole and Klaus headed out with umbrellas as it started to rain. I headed to the kitchen to get Persephone's dinner ready. I got her bowls and spoons before warming the pureed chicken, black beans and pureed bananas. Kyra had taken Persephone from me and got in the highchair before I brought the pureed foods over. 

"Aurora, can I feed Persephone tonight?" Kyra asked.

"Of course," I answered as I placed the bowls and spoons on the table.

I walked back to the kitchen as Kyra started to feed Persephone. I made a bottle of formula for bed before placing it in the fridge.

"Aurora, has your period been late?" Kyra asked me.

"Yeah, two months," I answered before asking. "Why?"

"Because I haven't had mine in the same amount of time," Kyra voiced.

"Maybe we're just stressed," I responded.

"But that doesn't count for nausea, the need to throw up, I'm feeling bloated," Kyra stated. "And I've been having cravings."

I counted all of those things, she said, and it made sense to me now. I'm possibly pregnant again.

"We need to call and make an appointment in the morning," I voiced.

"I'll tell Kate and Rebekah," Kyra responded.

"Wait, why Rebekah?" I questioned.

"She's been having some of the same symptoms, remember?" Kyra told us.

"But she's a vampire?" Buffy responded.

"But she has a soulmate, so far soulmates like Elijah is a vampire got Aurora pregnant," Kyra returned.

"But, why didn't Angel?" Buffy asked.

"Maybe it isn't his time to become a father," Kyra suggested. "Especially since he became evil when he and Aurora did the deed."

I think Angel would be a great father, but Kyra was right. I wouldn't have been safe pregnant while fighting Angelus. 

"Now, onto pureed bananas," Kyra said as Persephone opened her mouth and accepted the pureed bananas.

Kyra continued to feed Persephone her dessert as I headed to the bedroom.

When I got into the bedroom, I took off my magic band and put it on the side table. I walked over to my luggage and opened it. I pulled out today's PJs bag and this week's outfits bags. I put outfit bags into the dresser and took today's Pjs into the bathroom before laying them on the counter. I walked back out before grabbing my laundry bag, extended jewelry box, and my spelled accessories container out of the luggage. I opened them up and took off my hat before putting it into the hat section of the accessories container. I put my sunglasses in the sunglasses section before taking everything out of my purse and placing the purse in the bag section. I undid my hair before getting out my shoes and putting them into the shoe section. I took off my necklace and put it into the jewelry box before closing it. I got undressed and put my dirty clothes into the laundry basket. I took my Claddagh ring and placed it next to the magic band before heading into the bathroom and turning on the shower. Just before it got to the right temperature, I got in and showered before washing my hair and getting out. 

"Girls, we're back!" Cole yelled.

I dried myself off before getting into my PJs and blowdrying my hair as I brushed it. I headed out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. I got Persephone's outfits/sleepers out and situated in the dresser before pulling out today's Sleeper for after bathtime. I headed out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, dining room, and living room.

When I got back into the living, dining room, and kitchen combo, Elijah, Klaus, and Cole were setting the food, drinks and desserts, including the Gideon's Bakehouse goodies, on the table. Buffy and Andy were getting the dishes and utensils out.

"Hey," I said as Kyra was wiping Persephone's face.

"Hey, have a nice shower," Elijah asked.

"Yes, I did. It was refreshing," I answered.

"Who's turn to bath Persephone?" Cole asked.

"Your turn," I voiced.

"Okay," Cole replied as I grabbed a plate and piled my dinner on it. 

I grabbed my bottle of Gold Peak Iced Tea. I sat down next to Persephone and started eating as she played with a book before Kyra joined me with her food.

"What did you get?" I asked her.

"I got Aloha Pork Sandwich, Cinnamon Cupcake and the same drink as you," Kyra answered.

We went back to eating our dinner and talking about tomorrow.

A half-hour later, Persephone was having a bath and dinner was done. Klaus was sketching, Andy was looking up ideas for some ways to make money, Elijah was one business call, and Cole was bathing Persephone. Kyra and I were on a video call with Kate and Jeremy. We were talking about the website that I'm making.

"So, Aurora, you're making a website, and Kyra had an idea of us putting our businesses together," Jeremy voiced.

"Yeah, art, designing, fashion, event planning," Kyra stated. "And other objects."

"If we would do this, what would we name it?" Kate questioned.

"I don't know, but first, we need to make products and take pictures as samples," I responded. "There's much more we have to do before this website is ready to go online."

"Well, we'll talk more of this on our free day at the hotel," Kate voiced. "Good night."

"Night," Jeremy said.

"Night, guys," Kyra replied.

"See you in the morning," I told them before the video call ended.

"Do you want to work some more on the website after Persephone goes to bed?" Kyra suggested.

"Yeah," I replied as I looked at the time on my laptop.

It was almost 7 pm, and it was time for me to warm Persephone's bottle. I got up and walked over to the fridge. I opened it before warming the bottle with my firepower. It was ready by the time Cole came out with Persephone.

"Persephone here is ready for her bottle," Cole said as he walked over to me.

I took her from him and started to feed her the bottle. She drank the bottle before I burped her.

"Night, miss Persephone," Kyra whispered as she kissed her forehead.

I headed back into the bedroom and gave her a soother before laying her down in the playpen. Elijah came in and laid her blanket down before he pulled down the blinds on the windows. I turned on the noise machine and the baby monitor before turning out the lights.

"Night, my love. Mama and dada love you," I whispered before heading out of the room.

When we got back into the living room, Cole, Klaus, and Andy were doing the dishes, and Kyra was on her laptop in her Pjs.

"Let's get some work done," I voiced as I grabbed my laptop from the living room chair and brought it over to the dining room table.

Kyra came over and sat down next to me, and we got to work.

Three hours later, we had got some work done, and it was time for bed.

"Night, Aurora, Buffy," Kyra said.

"Night," Buffy whispered before she pulled her bed out.

"Night," I replied as I walked into the bedroom and then into the bathroom to brush my teeth.

After brushing my teeth, I got into bed and closed my eyes. Cole and Elijah joined me soon after as I began to fall asleep.

Time Skip

It was morning. At 6:30 am, Kate, Kyra, Rebekah, and I made a call to our doctor and made an appointment for after we got back from vacation, which was the 28th, the same day as Persephone's six-month appointment. Anyway, Persephone was being fed by Klaus while Buffy, Kyra and I got ready for the day. I had just put on my undergarments before pulling on my jeans. I then slipped on my shoes before getting into my striped top. After that, I pulled my hair back and put on my black & red ear headband before adding my watch, magic band, stud earrings, Claddagh Ring and protection necklace to my outfit. I grabbed my cellphone, wallet, & other things and put them into my bag for the day. 

"Girls, are you ready?" Klaus yelled.

I headed out of the bathroom with my bag before heading into the living room.

When I walked into the living room, I saw Elijah wiping Persephone's face clean, Andy & Cole making bottles for Magic Kingdom, and Klaus checking his phone. 

"I'm ready," I replied as I saw the diaper bag was nearly ready for the day.

"Us too," Kyra said as she and Buffy came out of her, Klaus, and Andy's hotel room.

Elijah got Persephone into the stroller as Cole put the pre-made bottles into the diaper bag before placing the diaper bag into the stroller.

"Let's go," Buffy voiced as we headed out of the bungalow.

When we got outside, we met up with the others before heading into the resort and towards 'Ohana Restaurant for our Character breakfast.

When we got to 'Ohana, we checked in and waited our turn before being shown to our tables. We sat down at the tables and looked at the drink menu while waiting for our server. A couple of moments later, a server arrived at our table with our starters. It was seasonal fruit and freshly made Pineapple-Coconut Breakfast Bread. 

"What can I get for you to drink?" Our server asked.

"I would like Lilo Smoothie," I ordered.

"I will have the Stitch Smoothie," Kyra voiced.

"I'll have the Moana Smoothie," Buffy responded.

Klaus, Andy & Cole ordered Coffee while Elijah ordered Tea. The server left to get our drink order together. We all tried the Bread before giving small pieces of Pineapple-Coconut Bread to Persephone to try. She loved it as she kept reaching for more of it. Fifteen minutes later, our drink order was here, and moments later, our Breakfast Skillet was here too. The Breakfast skill had scrambled Eggs, Fried Potatoes (island-style), Pork Breakfast Sausages, Hawaiian-style Ham with Pineapple Compote, Mickey Waffles and Biscuits. I had a little of the scrambled eggs, little fried potatoes, two Pork sausages, tried the Hawaiian-style ham and loved it, and had two mickey waffles and biscuits. We all quietly ate breakfast because some of us didn't sleep very well due to the storm last night. A half-hour later, we were done with breakfast, and we got our drinks into to-go cups before we headed out to ferry boat pick up.

A Short Time Skip Later

The Ferry picked us up and dropped us off at the front gates. We got into the shortest line that we saw. Ten minutes later, we had tapped our bands to Mickey Button, and it glowed green each time. We were off on our Magic Kingdom Journey.

"Where are we going?" Jeremy asked.

"We're heading for Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin," Jenna answered before saying. "We have a fast pass."

We headed for Tomorrowland.

Ten minutes later, after zig-zagging through the crowd, we were in Tomorrowland. I picked Persephone out of the stroller before we put the stroller in the parking. We headed for the Fastpass line and tapped our bands to the button before glowing green and started our way through the queue. We continued down the line and stopped when we got to the line of people. Fifteen minutes later, we were on the ride, and we were about to start shooting at 'Z' targets.

After the ride, we got our pictures and headed out towards the baby room. When I walked into the baby center room, I felt for a wet or full diaper and found a wet diaper. I changed her diaper before rocking her to sleep. After she fell asleep, I laid her down in the stroller and did the straps. I turned on the stroller's noiseless spell for her to sleep before heading out of the baby room with the stroller. I found the others and joined them.

"Hey, what ride are we going on next?" I asked.

"Tomorrowland Speedway," Finn answered.

"Before you ask, I'm staying with Persephone," Elijah told me.

I handed the stroller over to him before we got into line for Tomorrowland Speedway.

An hour later, we were in front of the line and were about to get in a car. Moments later, we were in a car each and on the speedway. Kyra and I were in a red car, and Buffy and Cole were in a blue car. We enjoyed the ride before we got off.

After the ride, we met up with awake Persephone and Elijah as she was drinking her after-nap bottle. 

"How was the ride?" Elijah asked as he put the bottle down the stroller cup holder.

"Slow," Kate answered as she pulled her water bottle out of her bag and took a sip.

"Our next ride is Astro Orbiters," Klaus announced to our group.

We headed over to Astro Orbiters and put the stroller in parking before getting into line for the ride. Twenty minutes later, our group was next on the rockets. Elijah, Persephone and I were in one of the rockets as I fixed Persephone's hat and glasses before the ride began to move.

After the ride, we picked up the stroller and headed to our last attraction before lunch. The ride was called Monsters Inc Laugh Floor. When we got there, we put the stroller in parking again before getting into line for the ride. Twenty-eight minutes later, we were in the theatre. We had watched the pre-show and now were about to watch the show.

After the show, we got our stroller back before heading to Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. We found seats before sitting down and mobile ordering. I got 1/3 Angus Bacon Cheeseburger without lettuce and tomato but with ketchup, fries and a Minute Maid Strawberry Lemonade Slushy. Kyra got a  Chili Cheese All Beef Hot Dog with fries and a large Nesquick Chocolate Milk. Buffy got the same burger as me but with everything on it, fries & Coca-Cola. The boys got their usual orders before hitting the 'order' and 'we're here' buttons.

"Aurora, can I feed Persephone?" Kate asked.

"Of course," I answered as she got the PEsephone's lunch out from the diaper bag.

She started feeding her as the boys headed to get lunch. Ten minutes later, the boys returned with lunch. Elijah gave me my order as Klaus and Cole gave Kyra and Buffy theirs. We started chowing down on lunch.

An hour half later, we were done eating lunch, and Persephone was done for a nap. Now, we're off to our first shopping spot in Magic Kingdom. The place is called Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. When we got there, we walked in and started to look around. It didn't take long for us to find something to buy. We had bought two Space Mountain Shirts (Child size & Adult size) before we headed out of the store. 

"Where are we going next?" Kate asked.

"Star Traders," Jenna answered.

We headed over to our next store spot in Tomorrowland.

When we got to Star Traders, we walked in and separated to look around. Twenty minutes later, we had bought a Grumpy Power Battery Shirt and a Going out for a Spin Shirt. After shopping there, we headed for Auntie Gravity's Galatic Goodies for a snack.  

"Hi, and welcome to Auntie's Gravity's Galatic Goodies. What can I get for you?" a cast member asked.

"We would like two Brownie Sundaes, three Chocolate-Vanilla Swirls, one rootbeer float and one chocolate milkshake," Elijah ordered.

The cast member put the order in before telling Elijah the amount. Elijah paid before heading to the order pick-up area.  Ten minutes later, our order was ready, and we picked it up and headed outside to find a spot to sit and eat our ice cream.

We had found a spot to eat and finished our ice cream snack, and now, we were off to Big Top Souvenirs. When we got there, we separated and looked around. Ten minutes later, we had bought Villans 4 Pins and Stitch 4 Pin. We also bought Minnie Marshmallow Wand, Mickey Chocolate Dipped Cake Pop, Cotton Candy Cupcake, Mickey Ear Hat Mint Brownie, a Winnie the Pooh Honey Jar Rice Krispy Treat, Mickey Red Shorts Sugar Cookie, and a Mickey Caramel Apple. We found a spot in the shade to eat our Big Top Treats. We shared the treats amongst our room group before Persephone woke from her nap. 

"I'll go change her," Elijah said as he took the stroller and headed for the family bathroom.

By the time Elijah got back with Persephone, we were done with snacks and were cleaning up. 

"What is our next ride?" Jeremy asked.

"Well, since we are in this land, Dumbo," Klaus voiced.

We headed over to Dumbo and put the stroller in parking before getting into line for the ride. Twenty minutes later, we were on Dumbo. Persephone was Kyra and Klaus this time. Cole and I were in one, and Elijah and Buffy in another. After the ride, we got our stroller back before heading to the Little Mermaid ride.

When we got to the Little Mermaid Ride, we put our stroller in parking before getting into line for the ride. We walked through the queue until we got to the line of people. An hour later, we were at the front of the line and waiting for our shell vehicle. Persephone was in my arms as we waited. Moments later, Kyra, Persephone and I got into the shell. Seconds later, we were off into the world of the Little Mermaid.

After the ride, we headed to Prince Eric's Village Market and got in line. We ordered the Mermaid Slushy (Kyra) and Jumbo Pretzel with Cheese (me). We ate and drank on our way to our last shopping location called Bonjour Village Gifts. When we got there, we looked around the small gift shop. We bought a Beauty & Beast Book and a Beauty & Beast Record. After leaving Bonjour Villages Gifts, we headed to Gaston Tavern to try some snacks. We walked into Gaston Tavern before looking at the menu and deciding what we wanted. We walked up to the order window and ordered.

"Hi, can I get the Lefou Brew in the Souvenir Cup?" I asked.

"Of course," the cast member answered. "That will be $14.80."

I got my wallet out of my purse and took out my debit card. I paid for my drink before the cast member got it ready. She gave me the receipt before giving me my Lefou Brew in the Souvenir Cup.

"Thank you," I said before leaving and heading out to meet the others. I put my wallet into my bag before taking a sip of my drink. "Mm."

"Ready to explore before dinner?" Elijah asked.

We headed off to look around before we headed to our dinner spot.

A Short Time Skip Later

It was 5 pm, and it was our dinner time. We were heading to Cinderella's Royal Table for our dinner reservation. When we got there, we checked in and waited ten minutes before being shown our tables. Elijah put Persephone into the high chair before sitting with us. The hostess gave us our menus before she left. I looked on the table and found cards three from each princess that would be at dinner tonight. Kyra and I looked at the cards. We saw that Princess Aurora, Ariel and Cinderella will be at dinner tonight.

"Hi, my name is David, and I will be your server tonight. What can I get for you to drink tonight?" Our server David asked.

"Iced Tea," I answered.

"Same here," Kyra voiced.

"Me as well," Buffy and Cole stated.

"I will have a Twinings of London Hot Tea," Elijah ordered.

"I will have the Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc, France," Klaus ordered.

"I will have the Iced Tea," Andy stated.

"Okay, five iced teas, one hot tea and one Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc, France," Our server repeated before leaving the table.

"Tomorrow, we have reservations at the Crystal Palace for breakfast and at Be Our Guest for dinner before the party," Elijah told us.

Our server returned with our drinks and gave them to us before asking what we wanted to order.

"What can I get you for appetizers?" Our server David asked.

"I will have the Charcuterie," I ordered

"I will have the soup of the day," Buffy replied.

"I'll have the Castle Salad," Elijah ordered.

"I'll have the Charcuterie," Kyra requested.

"I'll have the soup of the day," Andy stated.

"I'll have the Steaming Mussels," Klaus voiced.

"I will be back with your first course," Our server David responded before leaving with our appetizer orders.

I took a sip of my drink. Fifteen minutes later, our appetizers arrived. 

"What will your order be for Entrees?" David asked us.

"I'll have the Magic Carpet Ride," I ordered before taking a bite of my Charcuterie.

"I'll have the When Will My Life Begin Chicken and Pasta," Kyra voiced.

"I'll have the Sustainable Catch En Papillote," Buffy stated.

"I'll have the Chickpea Panisse," Elijah requested.

"I'll have the Tenderloin of Beef," Klaus ordered.

"I'll have the same," Andy and Cole both said.

Our server left with entrees order as we dug into our appetizers.

"Who's dressing as who tomorrow?" Rebekah asked.

"I'm going as Provincial Belle," I responded. "Elijah is going as Beast and Cole as Gaston. Persephone is going as Minnie Mouse."

"I'm going as Esmeralda," Kyra answered. 

"I'm going as Rapunzel," Buffy voiced.

"I'm going as Modern Day Cinderella," Kate told her. 

"What about you?" I asked.

"Princess Aurora," Rebekah responded.

By the time our entrees were here, I was feeling a little sick from the smell of Klaus's Steaming Mussels. I breathed through as the Princesses came into the room. They came around to each table, and we took pictures with each of them before they headed off. We dug into our entrees before our desserts arrived. After our entrees, we enjoyed our desserts before heading to the ferry boat pick-up with the stroller. 

Another Short Time Skip Later

We were back in the room. Persephone was being fed her dinner by Elijah as the rest of us took turns showering. By the time I got out of the shower, Persephone was fed and ready for a bath. After I had gotten dressed in my PJs and started to blow dry/brush my hair, Elijah walked into the bathroom with Persephone. 

"Have a nice bath, Miss Persephone," I said before kissing her head full of hair.

I walked into the bedroom before getting my laptop and sketchbook out. I started sketching my plans for jewelry, goodies, and other things. A half-hour later, Persephone was clean and dressed for bed, and it was time for a bottle. I took Persephone from Elijah and walked into the living room kitchen combo.

When we walked into the room as Cole gave me a warm bottle of formula. I started to feed Persephone as I softly sang Once Upon A December from the movie Anastasia. Persephone drank her bottle down before I burped her and walked back into the bedroom. I gave Persephone her soother before laying her down in the playpen. Cole laid the blanket down on her before I grabbed my laptop, sketchbook and art kit. I headed back into the room and sat my things on the table. Kyra was on her computer and sketchbook working. I opened my laptop and got to work for the business. I was designing different season cupcakes, cakes and other goodies before planning for jewelry and other works that I had planned. 

Three hours later, it was time for bed. Kyra had already gone to bed, and I followed suit as I shut off my laptop and plugged it into the wall in my room. I walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth before joining the boys in bed. I joined the boys in sleep.

Time Skip

It was the morning of the Boo to You Halloween Party. Kyra, Buffy, and I were getting ready in my bathroom while the boys got the bottles, diapers, and Persephone fed. I already had my blue skirt on as well as my white top. Kyra was doing my hair as I got my magic band on before I slipped on my black shoes and put my Claddagh ring on.  

"Your hair is all done," Kyra voiced as I saw the blue bow attached to my hair. 

"Here's your protection necklace," Buffy said as she handed over my trinity necklace. 

Kyra helped with my necklace before I turned around. 

"Thank you, girls," I stated as I put my phone, power rod charger, and wallet into my bag for the day. 

I looked at what the girls were wearing. Kyra was wearing a purple skirt with a blue belt, a white top, flat shoes, her hair down with a headband, her protection necklace and her magic band. Buffy was wearing a purple dress, violet flats, a Tangled Flower bag, a magic band, and her cross necklace. Her hair was in a side braid with fake flowers in it. 

"Ready to go?" Kyra asked.

"Yeah, let's go," I voiced as we headed out of the room with our bags.

When we walked into the living room kitchen combo, Elijah washed Persephone's face and hands as Cole put pre-made bottles in the diaper bag. 

"Ready to go?" Kyra repeated for them.

"Let's go," Klaus voiced as we saw him in a kingly shirt.

Elijah got Persephone into the stroller before doing the straps, and we were off to meet others.

We met up with the others. Kate was wearing white jeans, silver flats, a blue top, stud blue earrings, an old-fashioned blue necklace, her protection necklace, her magic band, and her hair was up like Cinderella's. Jenna was dressed like Cinderella's Fairy Godmother but with a modern take. Rebekah was wearing a pink dress, white high tops, a letter 'a' necklace, and her hair was pulled back a bit with fake flowers in it. We headed off to the cars this time. 

A five-minute drive later, we were at Magic Kingdom. A ten-minute drive around until we found parking spots. We parked and got the stroller before I placed Persephone in the stroller. We headed out to the park entrance. Just before we got to the main entrance, we got a button out of a stand, and the metal button says,  celebrating the first Halloween party for Persephone. We also got a button each saying,  celebrating the first Halloween Party with family.  After that, we headed for the entrance and got in the shortest line. Twelve minutes later, we had tapped our magic bands to the button, and it glowed green. We headed into Magic Kingdom. Then we headed straight for Main Street Bakery for breakfast.

When we got there, we looked at the menu for a couple of moments before getting into line. A couple of minutes later, the group in front of us left, and it was my room group's turn to order. 

"Good Morning. What can I get for you all today?" a cast member asked.

"We would like a Passion Teavana Shaken Iced Tea, a Mano Dragonfruit Starbucks refresher, a Passion Teavana Shaken Iced Tea Lemonade, two coffees, a cold brew, a black Teavana Shaken Iced Tea," Elijah ordered.

"What are the names for the drinks?" the cast member asked.

Each of us said our names in the order of the drinks order. First, it was me, then Buffy, then Kyra, then Andy & Klaus, then Cole, and finally Elijah.

"Anything else?" the cast member asked.

"Yes, we would like two Mickey Cinnamon Rolls, three Sausage, Cheddar & Egg Sandwiches, and two double-smoked Bacon, Cheddar & Egg Sandwiches," Elijah ordered.

The cast member put the food orders in before telling us the amount. Klaus paid this time as the workers got the orders together. Our breakfast order was laid on the counter first, but our drinks orders arrived one by one. We took our drink & food orders and headed outside. We ate our breakfast as we headed to our first character meet & greet of the day. We put the stroller in parking before getting into line. We were going to meet Mickey in smaller groups. First, it was Kyra and her soulmates. The second group was Elijah, Persephone, Cole, Buffy & me. The third group was Kate, Finn, & Leo and the fourth group was Jenna, Kol, Rebekah & Jeremy. 

Fifteen minutes later, my group was next. Persephone was in my arms and facing outwards towards Mickey as we walked in.

"Hi, Mickey," I said as he pointed to Persephone in her Minnie Mouse outfit. "This is my daughter Persephone," I introduced Mickey to her as he played Peek-a-boo with her.

She laughed as he uncovered his eyes.

"Mickey, are you ready for Halloween?" Buffy asked.

He pointed at the closet that held his outfit.

"I see," Buffy responded.

"Hey, Mickey. Can we take a picture with you?" Elijah asked as he had my cellphone's camera ready.

He nodded before we got ready to take the picture. The woman that was with Mickey took the photo. She gave the phone to Elijah, who handed it back to me. I put my cellphone back into my purse before we headed out to find Kyra, Klaus and Andy.

When we found Kyra, Andy & Klaus, they had the stroller ready for us.

"Hey, how was your meet & Greet with Mickey?" Kyra asked.

"It was good. Mickey played peek-a-book with Persephone," I answered as I got Persephone situated in the stroller.

"Looks like Persephone is ready for a nap," Cole voiced as I saw her yawn.

I gave Persephone her soother before Cole put a noiseless spell. Persephone fell asleep as I rocked the stroller. 

"What are we doing next?" Kate asked as she, Finn and Leo joined us.

"Well, first, we're waiting for Jenna, Kol, Jeremy & Rebekah. Then, we're going to Main Street Confectionary," Elijah answered. "And to Emporium before Persephone wakes up from her nap."

"And after that?" Andy questioned.

"After that, getting a balloon, taking a picture in front of the castle, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Jungle Cruise and lunch at Crystal Palace," Klaus finished as Jenna & her group joined us.

"Let's head to Main Street Confectionary," Kyra voiced as we headed over.

When we got there, we walked in and separated to look around. Twenty minutes later, we had bought three Sweet Toffee Pretzels, three Sweets Character Cookies, three Pink Mickey Rice Krispy Treats, six Blue Mickey Rice Krispy Treats, and seven Personalized Candied Popcorn bags. We headed out of the store with the others before putting the bags into our room groups park bags. 

"Next stop, Emporium," Rebekah said as we headed across the street.

When we got there, we walked in and separated to look around. Thirty minutes later, we had bought a Disney Cats Clips pack, a Dalmatian Mug, a Cheshire Cat mug, an 'It's a Small World' Throw, a Nightmare Before Christmas Throw, a 'The Conquerer of Mountains' Mug, and a Castle Mug. We headed out of the store before putting the bags into our room groups park bags. As I looked back up from the bag, I saw a Balloon Lady with lots of balloons before we headed over and got into line for a Balloon. Moments later, it was our turn to pick a balloon.

"What Balloon would you like?" the woman asked.

"We would like a Blue Mickey Balloon," I answered.

"Of course," The woman responded as she got me a Blue Mickey Balloon before giving it to me.

I tied it to the stroller before putting wait into the compartment. 

"Thank you," I replied as I paid for the balloon.

"Your welcome. Have a nice day," the woman voiced before we walked off.

As we walked away, Persephone woke up. Elijah took the stroller from me as we headed onto the sidewalk. He walked off to find the nearest family washroom.

Fifteen minutes later, Elijah and Persephone found us near the partner's statue. 

"She has been changed and fed," Elijah told me.

We walked over to the photographer, who was taking pictures of people in front of the castle. We got in line and waited. A couple of minutes later, it was our turn. I had Persephone in my arms as we walked up to him.

"Hello," the photographer said. "Can you tap your magic band to this?" 

Elijah tapped his magic band to what the photographer gave him before getting situated for our pictures. He took our pictures before telling us that they would arrive on our Disney account. After the photo, I placed Persephone back into the stroller before heading to Magic Carpets of Aladdin.

When we got to the ride, we put the stroller in parking before Elijah picked Persephone up and out of the stroller. We walked over and got in line. Ten minutes later, it was our turn to ride. Elijah, Persephone and I got on a red carpet vehicle, Cole and Buffy got a purple carpet vehicle, and Kyra and Andy got a yellow carpet vehicle. Klaus got a red carpet with Kol. Five minutes around in magic carpet ride later, we were off the carpets and got the stroller back before heading to Jungle Cruise.

When we got to the ride, we put the stroller in parking again before I picked up Persephone. We tapped our bands to the button because we had a Fastpass for the ride. We headed down the queue and waited our turn. Ten minutes later, our ride vehicle was here. We all got on with other guests. Persephone was on Elijah's lap as the ride began to move.

After the ride, we grabbed our stroller and placed Persephone in it before we headed to Crystal Palace for our lunch reservation. We checked in before waiting for our table. Five minutes later, our tables were ready before being shown to our tables. Elijah got Persephone situated in the high chair before we sat down. On the table were Homestyle Buttermilk & Cheddar Bacon Biscuits served with Honey Butter, Caramelized Onion Butter and Hot Pepper Jelly. I tried the biscuits with honey butter, and it was good. A server came over to our table.

"Hello, my name is Ella, and I will be your server today. What can I get for you to drink?" Our server Ella asked.

"I will have Iced Tea," I answered.

"I will have Iced Tea," Kyra responded.

"I'll have the same," Andy, Buffy and Cole ordered.

"I'll have Iced Tea as well," Elijah ordered.

"I'll have a coffee," Klaus ordered.

"Okay, and now I need to know what Family style salad you all want," Ella voiced.

We looked at the menu and decided amongst ourselves.

"We'll have the Seasonal Salad," Klaus told her.

"Okay, I'll be back with your drinks and salad," Ella responded before leaving the table.

"I'll get to feeding Persephone," Cole voiced as he got her food out and started feeding her.

Ten minutes later, our salad and drinks arrived.

"Here are your drinks and salad. Do you have a pick for your entrees?" Ella asked.

"Yes, I believe, we are ready," Elijah answered before telling her. "I'll have the Southern Fried Cauliflower."

"I'll have the Brown Sugar-glazed Bone-In Pork Chop," Klaus told her.

"I'll have the Fire-roasted Prime Rib of Beef," Andy voiced.

"I'll have the Crispy Fried Chicken," Cole replied.

"I'll have the same," I voiced.

"I'll have the Brown Sugar-glazed Bone-In Pork Chop," Buffy responded.

"I will have the Fire-roasted Prime Rib of Beef," Kyra ordered.

"I'll go put your orders in," Ella told us before leaving the table.

We started to eat our salad as Cole multi-tasked in eating his and feeding Persephone. Ten minutes later, our food arrived and began eating. Cole washed Persephone's face and hands off before laying her back into the stroller and giving her soother as we ate lunch. After eating our entrees and sides, our desserts arrived. Our desserts were a Family Style Platter of desserts; Seasonal Fritters with Powdered Sugar and Chocolate Dipping Sauce, Banana Cream Pie, Hummingbird Cake, and a Honey of a Cupcake & a Strawberry shortcake. I enjoyed the Banana Cream Pie and the Honey of a Cupcake. 

After eating our desserts, Elijah paid before we headed outside. Persephone was down for her afternoon nap. As we headed outside, we saw Cavalcade coming down the street. We headed over and watched the show as it came. We enjoyed the Disney cavalcade before we headed down towards the castle and took pictures of the paintings in Cinderella's castle as we went. We walked through and headed towards Pinocchio Village Haus. We headed inside and ordered something cool to drink while we waited for our phones to charge with power rods. Kyra, Buffy and I ordered the Blue Raspberry Slushy and got a Tres Leches Dessert each. We found a spot to sit and chat while Persephone napped for two hours. 

Two hours later, Persephone had woken from her nap and needed a diaper change. We got up and headed for the nearest family washroom. I changed Persephone's diaper before warming her bottle and fed her the bottle. After that, we headed to Casey's Corner for a snack. When we got to Casey's Corner, we looked at the menu before getting into the line to order.

"Hello and welcome to Casey's Corner. What can I get for you?" a cast member asked.

"We would like three corndog nuggets with fries & three of the cheese sauces," I ordered.

"Will that be all?" the cast member asked.

"Yes," Buffy voiced.

The cast member told us the amount before I paid for it. The cast member got the order together before giving it to us. We headed outside and sat down at the tables before we began to eat our corndog nuts and fries with the cheese sauce. Persephone had a soft baby biscuit for a snack.

Ten minutes later, we were done with our food before we headed to meet Tiana and a visiting princess. We met Tiana and took pictures with her before meeting with Elena of Alvor and taking photos with her. After the meeting with the princesses, we headed to the stroller parking for Peter Pan's Flight. We put the stroller in parking before getting into the stand-by line for the ride. An hour later, we were in front of the line and were waiting for our boat vehicle to arrive. Moments later, our ride vehicle came, and Cole, Persephone and I got on. We were off to the world of Peter Pan.

After the ride, we headed to grab the stroller from parking before parking for one last time before dinner at It's A Small World stroller parking. We parked it before getting into line. An hour later, it was time for us to get the ride vehicle. This time Persephone was on Kyra's lap with Klaus and Andy. We were off into the world of small.

A Short Time Skip Later

It was dinner time. We were heading to our dinner reservation at Be Our Guest Restaurant. When we got there, we checked in before waiting for our tables. Five minutes later, we were seated in the grand ballroom from the dance scene in the movie. Persephone was in between Elijah and Kyra. We were given our menus before looking at the drinks first. Elijah started feeding Persephone as we waited for our waiter. 

"Hello, my name is Isobel, and I will be your server today," Our server Isobel introduced herself before asking. "Let's start with drinks. What would you like?"

"I will have the Minute Maid Premium Lemonade," I voiced.

"I will have the same thing," Kyra ordered.

"I will have the Hubert’s Pomegranate Limeade," Buffy stated.

Andy ordered the Minute Maid Premium Lemonade while Cole ordered the Hubert's Pomegranate Limeade. Elijah and Klaus ordered a glass of wine each.

"And what would you like for your appetizers?" Isobel asked.

"I would like the Country Seasonal Salad," Buffy responded.

"I'll have the French Onion Soup," I voiced.

Andy ordered Country Seasonal Salad while Cole ordered the Assorted Meats and Artisanal Cheese Selection. Elijah ordered the French Onion Soup while Klaus ordered the Captain Nemo Octopus.

"I'll go put these in, and I will be back," Isobel responded before leaving.

Elijah went back to feeding Persephone her dinner as we talked about tonight.

"So, what's the plan tonight?" Kyra asked.

"Well, after dinner, Diaper change and then we need to find a wrist band sign to get our wristbands, map and treat bags," Elijah told her.

"After that?" I questioned.

"Well, after that, we have quite a bit of time before the party," Elijah voiced.

"We'll figure out something to do," I voiced as our appetizers and drinks arrived.

"Here are your drinks and appetizers," Isobel said as she handed us our appetizers and glasses one by one.

"Thank you," I replied as I took mine and sat it down.

"Now, what would you like for your entrees?" Isobel asked.

"I will have the Poulet Rouge Chicken," Buffy ordered.

"I will have the Pan-seared Sea Scallops," Kyra replied.

"I'll have the Herb-salted Pork Tenderloin," I voiced.

Andy ordered the Center-cut Filet Mignon while Cole ordered the Poulet Rouge Chicken. Klaus ordered the Herb-salted Pork Tenderloin while Elijah ordered the Vadouvan Spiced Vegetables.

"I'll go put these orders in. I will be back," Isobel told us before leaving again.

Elijah started feeding Persephone her dessert as we started eating our appetizers. Thirty minutes later, we were done eating our appetizers, and our entrees had arrived. We dug into our entrees as Persephone ate a baby cookie as we ate. Another thirty minutes later, it was time for dessert. The desserts were a trio of desserts each; a Lemon Jam Macaron, Chocolate Tart with grey stuff, and the Dark Chocolate Truffle.

"Try the grey stuff..." I said.

"It's delicious..." Kyr continued.

"Don't believe me..." Buffy resumed.

"Ask the dishes," The three of us girls finished before taking a bite of the chocolate tart.

After swallowing, we laughed at what we had just said.

"That was fun," Kyra voiced before taking another bite.

"I agree," I responded before taking another bite as well.

We continued to eat our desserts.

Another Short Time Skip Later

After dessert, Elijah paid before we headed to the nearest family bathroom. I changed Persephone's diaper and laid her back in the stroller. We found a sign that said wrist bands distribution. We were directed to a touchpoint before we got into line and waited. We got our wristbands and maps after showing our tickets to the party. We sent through to get our treats bags and our first candy stop of the night. We were given our candy bags and our first treat from M&M's Candy before we walked through to the end. We headed off to find a spot for me to feed Persephone her nightly bottle before bed. A couple of minutes later, we found a spot to sit and sat down. I warmed the bottle up before getting Persephone out of the stroller. I fed her the bottle before burping her. Elijah took her from me and started to rock her to sleep. 

"Persephone is now asleep," Elijah said as he laid her down into the stroller.

Cole put on the noiseless spell before we started on the move. We started away into the party. We headed over to the town square Theater and met Jack & Sally from a Nightmare Before Christmas and got our pictures taken with them before we headed over to the stage area. We found a good spot for the first show of the Hocus Pocus Villanous Spelltacular. We talked as we waited for the show to begin. Moments later, the show had started.

After the show, we headed to the next treat location in Tomorrowland. We got candy at Carousel of Progress, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor and Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. The boys got in line for Space Mountain while the girls and I headed to Auntie Gravity's Galatic Goodies to try the Pumpkin Spice Milkshake. 

"Mm, this is good," Kyra voiced.

I nodded in agreement. Fifteen minutes later, the boys returned as we were off to Frontierland. On our way, we stopped at one of the stands and grabbed the free popcorn and soda. We enjoyed the popcorn as we headed towards the jungle cruise as we saw another treat location. We got some more candy there before putting the stroller in the parking. Elijah quietly picked up Persephone before getting into line. We got candy as we walked through the queue. Ten minutes later, we got on the ride, and we were off to the world of Pirates.

After the ride, we got more candy in the shape of chocolate coins. Elijah got the stroller back with Persephone in it. We headed off to Frontierland where more treat locations were. We did all three treat locations before heading to Liberty Square's Treat Location. After getting candy, we got in line at Sleepy Hollow for the Headless Horseman Cheesecake. We also tried the Contance's For Better or Worse wedding cake. Both treats were good. 

"Where to next?" Kyra asked.

"Fanstasyland's treat locations," Jeremy responded.

We headed over to Fantasyland.

When we got to Fantasyland, we went to all of its treat locations and got candy before getting in line for the Mad Tea Party with Halloween Twist. We did the teacups while Finn stayed with Persephone. After the ride, we tried the Jack & Sally Push Pops before heading to meet Belle and Gaston. Kate, Kyra and I took pictures with Belle as the others took pictures with Gaston. We also met Rapunzel and took pictures with her before heading to the Haunted Mansion Ride. We put the stroller in parking before getting into line. Twenty minutes later, we were in front and waiting for the ride vehicle. Elijah had a sleeping Persephone in his arms as we got on the arriving ride vehicle. We were off to the world of Haunted Mansion.

After the ride, we got the stroller back before heading out towards some more character meet greets. We took pictures with Mickey and his friends in their costumes before heading to the main street bakery to get their Halloween goodies before the parade. We got the Amuck, Amuck, Amuck Cupcake. We ate those as we waited for the Boo-To-You Parade to start. Thirty minutes later, it was time for the parade to begin.

After the parade, we did some more character meet & greets, more treat eating, treat locations and watched the fireworks before the party ended. At about 10 minutes until midnight, we headed out to the cars and packed up. Persephone was back in her car seat, and we were in the cars before we headed back to the hotel. When we got to the hotel, we took the bags, treat bags and the stroller out of the trunk. I got a Sleeping Persephone out of the car seat and into the stroller. We headed back to the bungalows as Elijah, Klaus and Jenna locked the cars. When we got back to the bungalows, we headed in and got ready for bed. I changed Persephone's diaper before getting her into her sleeper. I gave her soother before laying her down in the playpen. Cole laid her blanket over her as I walked into the bathroom. I undid my hairstyle, got out of my Belle outfit, and took my magic band off before getting into my PJs. I brushed my teeth before heading over to the bed and got into bed. I fell asleep instantly as my head hit the pillow.

A Giant Time Skip Later

Dear Diary,

The Halloween Party was amazing. We met our favourite characters and got our pictures taken with them. We met with Mickey and Friends in their Halloween Costumes and took pictures with them. We trick or Treated, tried lots of their goodies, watched the Hocus Pocus show, and saw the parade. We also had our pictures taken and saw the fireworks. We had a fun night.

Day at the Hotel:  The day after the party, we spent the day at the hotel. We had breakfast in the bungalow before enjoying some time at the pool. After an hour at the pool, Persephone went down for a morning nap. Kyra and I joined her in having an hour's rest ourselves. Kyra and I slept a little longer than 1 hour because, by the time we awakened, it was an hour later than 10. We headed back to the pool for an hour and had lunch there.

Today is our checkout day. We are leaving Orlando and heading back home today. Elijah, Klaus, and Jenna with our help purchased the Pictures from our stay at Disney World.

A*

I closed my journal and placed it back in my carry-on before putting my jewelry box, accessory box and toiletries into my luggage bag. I closed my luggage bags before zipping them up. I took my luggage bags and walked out to see Persephone doing Tummy time. I placed my luggage bags and carry-on onto the luggage cart with the others. 

"Ready to go?" I questioned.

"Yeah, we're ready," Kyra voiced. 

Elijah picked Persephone up and placed her in her stroller before doing the straps. 

"Last day in Orlando," Buffy sadly voiced.

"Well, we're needed in LA," I voiced as I remembered the vision that I had a week ago that I never mentioned.

We headed out the door with the luggage cart.

We met up with the others before heading to the cars. We packed the cars before heading back into the resort with the stroller. Elijah and Jenna headed to the checkout while we headed to BouTiki for the last shopping in the hotel. We walked into BouTiki and separated to look around. I picked a Polyenisan Mug and looked at it. 

"Hey, did you find something?" Elijah asked.

"Yes," I said as I showed the mug. "It's for Willow."

"I like it. I think I'm gonna get it as well," Elijah voiced as he picked it up.

We continued to look around.

Twenty minutes later, we were done shopping. We had bought two Polynesian Village Resort Mugs (Elijah & Willow), two Polynesian Village Resort Journals (Willow & me), Polynesian Village Resort Towel (Cole), and two Polynesian shirts; one in Adult & one in Toddler size (me & Persephone). We also bought Joffery's Kona Coffee (Kyra), a Stitch Tie (Giles), a Stitch Art Print (Kyra) and a Polynesian Village Resort Photo Frame (me). We headed out BouTiki before heading back to the cars. We put the bags into my souvenirs Luggage bag before I closed it and zipped it up. Elijah got Persephone into the car seat before handing the stroller off to me. I put the stroller into the trunk and closed it. 

"Now to Disney spring, one last time," Elijah said as he closed Persephone's car door.

We all got into the cars and were off to Disney Springs for the last time.

Ten minutes later, we were in one of the parking garages at Disney Springs. Elijah was getting Persephone's stroller out. 

"Where are we eating?" Kate asked.

"We are eating at The Boathouse," Jenna answered as Elijah got Persephone into the stroller. 

We were off to the Boathouse.

When we got to the Boathouse, we checked in and waited for our tables to be prepared. Ten minutes later, our tables were ready and were shown to them. Elijah got Persephone into the high chair before sitting down with us. We were given our menus before the hostess left. 

"What looks good?" Andy asked as we opened the menu and started looking.

A waiter came over before we could talk.

"Hi, what can I get you to drink?" the waiter asked.

"I'll have water," I ordered.

"Same here," Buffy replied.

"Me too," Kyra responded.

The boys ordered water as well.

"Are you ready to order?" the waiter asked after writing the simple drink order down.

"I am," I replied before saying. "I will have the Filet Mignon Sliders with fries and the Mac & Cheese."

"I have the "Yacht Club" Club with fries," Buffy ordered.

"I'll have the Classic Cheeseburger with fries," Kyra voiced.

Andy got the Chicken Biscuit & Gravy while Cole got the Belgian Waffle with bacon & home fries. Elijah got the Steak and Eggs while Klaus got the  Lakeside Breakfast.

"I'll go put these orders in," our waiter said as Elijah got Persephone's lunch out and started feeding her.

Twenty minutes later, our food arrived as Persephone was gnawing on a baby biscuit for dessert. We started eating our lunch/brunch. Thirty minutes later, we ordered dessert. I got the Key lime pie in a mason jar while Kyra and Andy had the Triple Chocolate Layer Cake. Buffy tried the Brownie Sundae while Elijah and Klaus had the Blueberry Cheesecake. We ate our dessert before Elijah paid and headed off to our next destination.

Our first stop was at Goofy's Candy Company. Before we walked in, Persephone had fallen asleep. When we walked in and separated to look around. I looked around for some goodies for the plane ride. I also wanted to get treats to add to the personalized bags we made for the gang. Fifteen minutes later, we bought our favourite candy in bulk, pressed pennies to add to the boxes, Gummy insects (the boys), Gummy Monkeys (the girls), Cinamon Swirl Rice Crisps (Kyra, Willow, Cordelia, Buffy & me), Jack Skellington Candy buckets, Popcorn Cheddar, White Cheddar Cornpuffs, & Lemon Burst Cookies (Kyra, Buffy & Willow). We also got Slushies to drink before we headed out of the store.

"What's our last spot?" Kyra asked.

"Spice & Tea Exchange," Elijah answered.

We headed to our last shopping stop.

When we got there, we walked in before separating and looking around. I headed over to the teas with Elijah and a sleeping Persephone. I picked up several teas that Willow, Giles, and I would like before moving on. Twenty minutes later, the shopping was done. We had bought Orangic Beauty Rest Herbal Tea (Buffy), Black Chocolate Tea (Cole & me), Organic Berry White Tea (Willow), Blood Orange Smoother Herbal Tea (Buffy), Bourbon Chestnut Herbal Tea (Giles), Calimg Night Herbal Tea (Giles, Willow & Elijah), Chocolate Chai Tea (Kyra), Cinamon Orange Black Tea (Elijah & me), Fireside Spice TEa (Giles & Cole), Flordia Sunshine Tea (Giles, Willow & Elijah) for teas.

After that, we headed out to Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC.

When we got there, the boys separated from us and said they needed to get something. We walked into the bakery and looked around. We spent a lot on goodies for the plane ride. We bought a dozen of cupcakes, a dozen of donuts and a dozen of cookies. We also purchased a half dozen tea cakes, a half dozen crumble cakes and half-dipped cookies for the plane ride home. We also got ice cream cookies sandwiches for the car ride. We headed out with the boxes and met the boys as they came over with bags and boxes.

"We bought dinner for the plane ride home," Elijah said as we headed back to the cars.

When we got to the cars, we put the souvenirs bags back in the souvenirs luggage bags before closing them up. Cole got a sleeping Persephone in the car seat before handing off the stroller to Elijah. Buffy, Cole and I got into the car and did our seatbelts. Elijah got in after putting the stroller in the trunk and closed it.

"Next stop, airport," Elijah voiced as he did his seatbelt and started the car.

We were off to the airport.

A Short Time Skip Later

When we got to the private airport, we checked in before our bags and car seat were taken to the Mikaelson's jet. Persephone awakened just after we checked in. I fed her 4 ounces of the bottle before feeding her some apple sauce. After she was fed, I changed her before heading for the plane. When we got to the plane, we headed on. I sat down next to Persephone's car seat before warming up the bottle again as we waited for the plane to take off. Everyone was seated and locked in their seats. Persephone was tightly in my arms and sucking on the bottle as the plane took off. After the jet was in the air, Persephone was taken from me by Elijah and Cole. Elijah sat behind her as Cole sat across from her with a sensory ball in his hands. He rolled the ball towards her. I got my laptop out and got to work on my sibling's and mine business websites.

An hour later, it was dinner time. Persephone was in a travel highchair as she was fed pureed chicken and well-done sweet potatoes by Kyra. The rest of us ate pizza that the boys had bought for us.

"So, what's the plan when we get back to LA?" Kate asked.

"When we get back to LA, head back to our apartments, a little unpacking, and bed," Finn voiced.

We continued to eat dinner as Kyra multitasked between eating her pizza and feeding Persephone. After dinner, Elijah did a partial bedtime routine. Persephone had a hand wash before changing into her sleeper. I fed her a bottle before giving her soother, laying her down into the car seat, and doing up the straps. While she started to sleep, the rest of us ate the treats we got from the bakery and did our own thing on our laptops.

A slight Time Skip Later

We were back in LA. We walked off the jet with the car seat. Cole had the bottom and secured it to the car seats before latching the top with a sleeping Persephone. The luggage was sitting on the pavement as we opened the trunks.

"Aurora, Buffy go get in the cars," Elijah told us.

"Okay," I whispered as we got into the SUVs.

The boys and Jenna all organized the luggage and bags into the separate trunks of the SUVs. Elijah and Cole joined us before doing their seatbelts. Elijah started the car before we headed back to the apartments.

Twenty minutes later, we were back at the apartment complex. We took the luggage and bags out of the car. Cole got the stroller and diaper bag out as I got the car seat out of the car and closed the door. Elijah locked the SUV as we headed up to our apartments. When we got to our floor, Buffy headed to her apartment before Elijah unlocked the apartment door. We headed in with the luggage and bags. I sat the car seat on the couch and got Persephone out of the car seat.

"Shh... Persephone, we're home," I whispered as I rocked her back to sleep.

I walked into the nursery and laid her down on the changing table before changing her diaper and laying down in the crib. Cole came into the room and set up the noise machine and the baby monitor before turning them on. We headed out of the room before turning out the light. We walked back into the living room. Elijah was placing the extra food and drinks into the fridge. I grabbed my luggage bags before heading into the bedroom.

When I got into our bedroom, I laid both luggage bags on the bed before opening them. I got my laundry bag out and emptied it into a hamper. I got my jewelry box and accessories box out. I place the jewelry box on my dressing table. I tapped the lock before and grew into a big trunk and opened it like a Harry Potter trunk but with an extension charm and levels. I walked back to my luggage and got the remaining clean clothes out. I opened my dresser drawers before laying the clean clothes in their appropriate spots. I opened the bag that I used today and took out my phone, wallet and other objects before placing the bag into the accessories trunk. I took my jewelry off and laid my protection necklace and Claddagh ring on the table before putting extra jewelry (rings/Necklace/earrings) into the jewelry box. I walked back to the dresser and opened it before grabbing my PJs and closing the drawer. I headed to the bathroom for a quick wash. When I got into the bathroom, I turned on the shower. I undid my hair before getting out of my clothes. I stepped into the shower before quickly showering. I stepped out before blow-drying my hair as I brushed it.

"Aurora?" I heard Elijah say as I got into my PJs.

"Yes," I replied as I walked out of the bathroom.

I walked over to my dressing table and put my protection necklace and Claddagh ring back on.

"Are you ready for bed?" Elijah asked.

"I am," I replied as I closed my first luggage bag.

I walked over to my second luggage bag and opened it before pulling out each bag from each park. I got Persephone's souvenir stuff together before doing the same with Willow and followed with mine. I closed my souvenir bag and zipped it up before getting both bags out and placing them into the extension charmed walk-in closet. I got into bed as I watched Elijah put his dirty clothes into his extension laundry basket.

"I'll deal with the rest tomorrow," Elijah said as he closed his bag and put it with mine.

He walked into the bathroom with his night clothes before having a shower. Cole came into the room and did the same thing before Elijah walked out and joined me in bed. Cole soon joined us, and we went off to sleep.

Chapter Text

It was nighttime in a Sunnydale Cemetery. A bouquet of fresh flowers laid on a gravestone with the name Andrew Hoelich, 1981-1998. Moments later, a hand smashes out of the freshly filled gravesite as it clawed for solid ground. Andrew Hoelich came out of his grave a newly made vampire. He growled when his head cleared the earth. He continued to climb out on his stomach before crawling along the ground. He pulled his legs out before stopping as he saw a pair of wide-spread legs standing before him.

"That's right, big boy," Willow said as he looked up at her. "Come and get it." She mischievously smiled.

All of a sudden, Andrew hopped to his feet and roared. Willow took a few quick steps back as she was taken back by this. The vampire took two steps towards her as Xander grabbed him by the collar of his suit before he pulled him away from Willow. 

"I got him! Go!" Xander yelled as Andrew lost his balance in the process.

Oz jumped out from behind a bush and started to run towards him but hesitated for a moment to grab a stake from his jacket pocket.

"Any time now..." Xander added.

Andrew regained his balance before using Xander's grip to stabilize himself. He kicked up with both legs and did a double pike snapping kick to Oz's face. Oz stumbled backwards before falling. Andrew lept without pausing before flipping over Xander's head. Xander tried to rush after him, but Andrew used his momentum to deflect him into Willow. Xander and Willow crashed to the ground as Willow moaned before quickly sitting up to see Andrew running away. 

"He's getting away! And..." Willow exclaimed before saying. "Ow."

Oz scrambled to his feet before picking up his stake as he watched the vampire running away. He held up his stake by the tip, preparing to throw it like a knife before Andrew lept over a rock and continued to run. Oz threw the stake, but it whistled through the air as it flew end-over-end. The stake hit a gravestone, and it bounced off of it with a loud think.

"That never really works," Oz muttered as he shook his head before asking. "Are you guys all right?" He turned towards Willow and Xander as they got up. 

"First of all, what was with acrobatics? How did that happen?" Xander asked.

"Wasn't Andy Hoelich on the gymnastic teams?" Oz questioned as he looked in the direction that Andrew went in.

"That's right, he was!" Xander exclaimed as he gestured with his arm before shouting after the vampire. "Cheater!"

Oz gave Xander a brief look before staring into the distance again as he looked for Andrew.

"Okay, and the, uh," Xander voiced as he turned to Willow. "The second problem I'm having...'Come and get it, Big boy'?" 

"Well..." Willow stammered. "W-well, Slayers always say a pun or-or a witty play on words, and I think it throws the vampire off, a-and it makes them frightened because I'm wisecracking." She took a breath before continuing. "Okay, I didn't really have a chance to work on that one, but you try it every time."

"Uh, if I may suggest: 'This time it's personal.'" Oz voiced. "I mean, there's a reason why it's a classic."

"I'm always amazed at how Buffy and Aurora fought, but..." Xander said as he stepped away before picking up his bag. "in a way, I feel like we took them punning for granted." As he stepped back.

"Xander, past tense rule," Willow replied as she gave Xander a scolding look.

"Oh, sorry," Xander apologized before saying. "I just meant we in the past took it for granted." He paused for a moment before continuing. "Uh... and we won't, when they back."

"Do you think they know school is starting tomorrow?" Willow questioned.

"Tomorrow," Oz muttered as Willow looked at him before saying. "Right. Big day."

"Oh, I'm gonna be busy a lot," Willow said as she went over to Oz. "B-but only till 3 pm. And that's when you usually get up."

"I can't wait to see Cordelia," Xander said before pausing. "I can't believe I can't wait to see Cordelia."

"I wonder what our first homework assignment's gonna be," Willow replied as she smiled before Xander placed his hands on his hips and gave her a look. "Hey, you're excited over Cordelia, okay?" Before saying. "We've all got issues."

"I guess we should pack it in," Oz suggested.

"Yeah," Xander returned as they all started to walk away from Andrew's grave.

"Wouldn't it be great if Buffy, Aurora and the others just showed up tomorrow? Like nothing happened?" Willow questioned.

"Buffy can't just show up, she got kicked out, and Aurora and the others are probably doing online classes," Xander voiced.

"Well, yeah, I-I know. I just wish... I wish we knew where they were," Willow responded.

Even though she did know where Aurora, Persephone and some of there's had been. She had gotten a postcard from Aurora with a Florida postmark. 

DREAM

A wave crashed onto the sand. In a far-off distance, I could see a pier stretched out into the water as I walked across the sand before stopping to look out over the ocean. I closed my eyes and raised my head to feel the sun on my face and hear the waves coming before hearing my daughter playing in the sand with one of her dads. I could feel someone coming up behind me as they wrapped their around me before clasping them over my belly. I covered my hands over the person's hands. I looked back at the man, who I realized was Angel, as he leaned his head over my shoulder.  

"How did you find us here?" I asked as I reached up with my hand and brushed it against his cheek.

"If I was blind, I would see you," Angel answered as I lowered my hand before placing my hand upon his.

"Stay with me," I whispered as I closed my eyes and embraced his arms tightly around me.

"Forever. That's the whole point. I'll never leave," Angel said before whispering into my ear. "Not even if you kill me."

I could feel the sadness in my body before I woke.

DREAM

I sadly woke from the dream before pulling my journal and started writing.

Dear Diary,

I've had dreams about Angel since I had to kill him to stop the end of the world, but all I can think about is that we haven't found a way to bring him back to us. Anyway, it's been a week since Kate, Kyra, Rebekah and mine's appointment with the doctor. We had found out that Kate, Kyra and Rebekah are pregnant, and I'm pregnant again. The four of us are exactly 2 months pregnant. It seems that day with Cole after the death of Angel is what got me pregnant. That same day, Persephone had a six-month doctor appointment. We talked about her physical development and hitting her milestones. The doctor also answered some of our questions, and she also had a round of vaccines. Now, it's time to get ready for work and breakfast before Persephone wakes. 

A*

I closed my journal and placed it on the side table. I got up before I heard a police siren get louder as it passed the apartment building. I got my diner uniform out before walking into the bathroom. I turned on the shower and got out of my PJs before taking off my jewelry. I stepped into the shower when it was ready. I quickly showered before washing my hair. I got out of the shower before turning it off. I dried myself off before blow-drying my hair. I got dressed in my waitress outfit before doing my hair and placed my trinity necklace and Claddagh ring on. I did my make-up before walking back into the bedroom. When I got back into the bedroom, I grabbed my coat before grabbing my wallet and charged my cellphone before putting it into my bag. I walked out of the bedroom and headed down the hall before looking into the nursery to see Cole feeding awake Persephone a bottle of formula. Cole saw me as he fed her before nodding. I nodded back before heading into the dining room and living room combo. 

When I walked into the room, everyone was there except for Jenna, who had school/work in Sunnydale, and they were eating breakfast. 

"Morning," Elijah said as he placed my tea on the dining room table.

"Morning," I replied as I sat down next to Kate before asking. "What's for breakfast?"

"Oatmeal," Kate voiced as she took a bite of her oatmeal with apple and cinnamon.

I took a sip of my tea before Elijah sat my oatmeal down on the table. 

"Thank you," I replied as I put my brown sugar in my oatmeal before stirring it and taking a bite.

"So, how is everyone feeling today?" Klaus asked.

"I'm a little nauseous, but fine," I replied before taking a sip of my tea.

"Same, but it's normal," Kyra voiced as she ate her oatmeal with sliced pears.

"Hey, look who's awake," Cole said as he came into the room with a dressed Persephone.

"Good morning, my love. Did you have a good sleep?" I asked as Persephone squealed as she saw me.

Cole sat her down in the high chair and started feeding her baby cereal with raspberries. I looked over at Buffy to see her eating oatmeal with apple cinnamon. I went back to eating breakfast until it was time to go. 

"Aurora, it's time to go," Buffy voiced as I saw the time.

I got up from the table before picking up my breakfast bowl and cup before Elijah said.

"Here, I got it," Elijah said before kissing my cheek.

"Say, bye-bye Mama," Cole voiced as he cleaned Persephone up from breakfast.

"Ma-ma," Persephone said before I kissed her head.

"Mama has you to go to work, bye-bye," I replied as I waved to her.

"See you guys after work," Buffy stated as we headed out the door before putting our coats on.

We left the apartment and headed to work.

When we got to work, Buffy started out front while I worked in the kitchen making pies for dessert. But halfway through the lunch rush, I joined Buffy at the front of the diner. I was headed over to put an order in as Buffy walked passed me and picked up two burgers. I could tell Buffy was bored as I took my drinks to my first table.

"Here are your drinks," I voiced with a smile.

"Thank you, young lady," An old man responded.

"Your orders will be here soon," I told him and the lady with him.

"Okay," the lady said.

I looked over at Buffy to see two men disgustingly looking at Buffy. Buffy sat the burgers down before taking out her order pad. I walked back over and grabbed my table's food as it was ready before taking it back over to my table.

"Will that be all?" I asked.

"Yes, that will be all," the old man answered as I placed the order and took out my order pad before giving them the bill.

"Pay at the counter," I voiced before walking away.

I walked over to the counter as Buffy was talking to her customers.

"Anything else?" I heard Buffy ask.

"That'll do us, Peaches," Man #1 said.

"Pay a the counter," Buffy said as she tore off their bill and placed it on the table.

"Sure you don't want me to work it off for you?" Man #1 suggested as the second man laughed.

Buffy walked towards me, but as she went, the second man reached out with his hand before he slapped her ass. Buffy stopped in her tracks as the two men chuckled. She turned her head slightly before I headed towards her, thinking about doing something about it, but I thought differently. I walked over to another table, where a young couple was sitting. I could tell the couple was too into each other to notice me, so I waited.

"You guys ready?" I asked as I got their attention.

"Yeah. I think we're good," The man voiced as he was still looking at his girl. "Um..." He looked at my name tag. "'Phoebe.'"

I ignored him when he said my bio name. I glanced at them briefly before looking down at my pad.

"What will you have?" I asked as I was ready to take their order.

"Well, okay..." the man said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of change before asking. "What can we get with this?" As he dumped the coins onto the table.

The coins were mostly pennies, a few nickels, and dimes, but no quarters.

"Um..." I started to say.

"Can we get cake?" the girl asked her boyfriend.

"Don't be stupid. We gotta eat healthy. We can't have cake," the boyfriend answered before turning his head to me and asking. "Can we get pie?"

"We've got a peach pie," I told him before writing the order down. "I can't guarantee there are many peaches in it."

"We shouldn't have blown all our money," the girlfriend said to the boyfriend.

"Come on, it was worth it," the boyfriend replied as the girlfriend smiled before looking up at me and saying. "Hey, check this out."

The boyfriend and girlfriend held out their forearms. I looked at their arms as they held them together to see they each had half of a heart tattoo with a ribbon across it. I noticed that their halves of the ribbon had each other's names on them. It made me remember my soulmate mark that was on my wrist. 

"It's nice... and, uh, permanent," I voiced as I weakly smiled.

"Yeah, forever," the boyfriend said as he looked at his girlfriend before putting his around her. "I mean, that's the whole point."

I watched as the girl looked at him and smiled before looking down sadly. I looked up at the girl and realized I had seen her before in Sunnydale. 

"Hey, do I know you?" the girl asked as she looked at me.

I could tell she recognized me as well. 

"I don't think so," I lied as I looked over at Buffy.

"Really? Where are you from?" the girl asked as she looked harder at me.

"I'll get your pie," I voiced as I avoided the issue before it was mine and Buffy's check-out time.

Buffy and I headed over to the cashier desk before putting my order pad down.

"It's time for us to check out," Buffy stated as she took out her pad before taking off our aprons and laying them down on the counter.

"Okay, have a good day," the other waitress said.

We gave the girl and her boyfriend another look before grabbing our coats and putting them on. We headed out the door as we left the diner.

In Sunnydale. School had started, and students were busy looking for books they would need for the semester. Willow and Giles were walking out of the stacks. Willow had several books in her arms. Jenna was following behind them with her books as she had returned to Sunnydale a week before school started. 

"So, no joy at the cemetery?" Giles questioned as they came down the stairs.

"No, he got away. We still have some glitches like... vampires getting away. But I think we're improving," Willow voiced as she smiled.

They split up as Giles and Jenna headed through the door before going behind the check-out counter. 

"Please be careful," Jenna told her as they met at the counter.

"We mean, uh, we appreciate your efforts to keep the vampire population down until Buffy and Aurora return, but, uh..." Giles conveyed to her. "Well, if anything should happen to you and... you should be killed, we should take it somewhat amiss." As he scanned her books out.

"You'd be cranky?" Willow questioned.

"Entirely," Giles voiced.

"We also would be upset. If you all got hurt," Jenna responded.

"Well, we try not to get killed," Willow voiced as Giles's office phone rang. "That's part of our whole mission statement. 'Don't get killed.'" She took her books before stacking them together again.

"Good, good," Giles replied before tapping one of her books. "I think you're going to love that one." Before heading into his office as Jenna started reading a book on the counter. 

"Bye, Jenna," Willow said as she picked up her books.

"Bye," Jenna replied before going back to the book she was reading. 

Willow started out of the library, but before she could take any more steps, Cordelia came up to her.

"Hi!" Willow said.

"Hey, Willow," Cordelia replied as she placed her bag on the counter.

"How was your summer?" Willow asked.

"Oh, I can't believe you brought that up. Las Palmas was the nightmare resort. They ordered you and around and make you have organized..." Cordelia answered before using quotes with her as she said. "'Fun', and I used sarcastic quote marks." She grabbed her bag, and they started out of the library. "Plus the fact there are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property. It was all about dread. How was your summer?"

"Oh, it was okay," Willow voiced as they walked through the library doors and into the hall.

"Is Xander around?" Cordelia questioned.

"Well, uh, yeah. Somewhere," Willow replied as they stopped in the hall.

"Good. Great. I haven't seen him, yet," Cordelia stated as she pulled her hair behind her ears before asking. "Do I look okay?"

"Oh, yeah," Willow said as she nodded with a smile.

"How's my hair?" Cordelia asked with worry in her voice.

"Uh, it's good!" Willow exclaimed as she smiled.

"He didn't meet anybody over the summer, did he?" Cordelia questioned. "No, who's he gonna meet in Sunnydale, but monsters and stuff? But then again, he's always been attracted to monsters." Before she asked Willow in worry. "How's my hair?"

"Still good," Willow voiced as she turned to leave and saw Oz before saying with a big smile. "Hi!"

"Maybe he's forgotten me," Cordelia said as she grabbed Willow's arm before turning Willow around to look at her. "Well, I'll just have to make him remember." She let Willow go before smiling. "See ya." Cordelia walked away from them.

"You came to visit me," Willow said as she turned back to Oz before seeing books in his hands and asking. "And you came with books? Are the books for me?"

"Well, actually, they're kinda for me," Oz told her.

"I don't get it," Willow responded.

"Well, it's sort of a funny store," Oz said as they started to walk before saying. "You remember when I didn't graduate?"

"Well, I know you had a lot of incompletes, but that's what summer school was for," Willow replied.

"Yeah. Well, you remember when I didn't go?" Oz returned as two students ran past them.

"Whoa. Slow down, people," A teacher said as the students stopped running. "Summer is over. Be Somber."

"But you never said anything," Willow said as they walked by the teacher before asking. "How am I supposed to react to this rather alarming news?"

"Well, actually, I was pretty much banking on you finding it cute," Oz replied.

"Well, traditionally..." Willow voiced as they stopped at the student lounge. "you know, repeating a grade isn't exactly a turn-on." Before she started to stammer. "A-and you're practically a genius. You're Mr. Test SCroes. I-it's all a little weird."

"So the cute thing is out?" Oz questioned as Xander rushed up to them.

"Have you guys seen Cordelia?" Xander asked them.

"Yeah. She's around here somewhere," Willow told him.

"I don't want to come on too geek, but, uh, um, I'm psyched!" Xander said as he flashed a big grin. "There's gonna be some heat if you know what I mean, so you guys might want to duck and cover." Willow sighed at what he said before he continued. "And I'm starting to be geeky." He grinned again. "Okay, bye." He started to go but came back. "How's my..."

"Your hair is fine," Willow interrupted.

"Cool," Xander responded with another big grin before darting away.

"This is our year, I'm telling you. Best football season ever. I'm so in shape, I'm a rock," They heard Larry say as he and another jock walked behind Willow and Oz before stopping by the vending machine. "It's all about egg white. If we can focus, keep discipline, and not have quite as many mysterious deaths, Sunnydale is gonna rule!"

"I'm trying to get to cute, really," Willow told Oz as they walked into the lounge towards the other side of the tables. "But I'm still sorta stuck on 'strange.'"

"Well, I'd be willing to bargain down to 'eccentric' with an option on 'cool,'" Oz responded as they walked past the raised area where the couches were.

Behind Oz and Willow, Cordelia and Xander finally meet up.

"Hey!" Xander said as he walked up to her.

"Hey!" Cordelia replied as she saw him.

"Good summer?" Xander questioned.

"It was all right," Cordelia responded.

"Cool!" Xander exclaimed.

"Yeah," Cordelia said with a disappointing tone.

"Well, I'll see ya," Xander replied as they looked around with uncertainty for a moment.

"Yeah, whatever," Cordelia voiced before Xander turned and headed down the stairs while Cordelia walked towards the other hall.

Back in LA...

After work, we headed back to the apartment to change and get some other work done. By the time we got back to the flat, Persephone was awake from her second nap and was eating mashed pears. We showered in our bathrooms before changing into clean clothes. 

"Ma-ma," Persephone said as I walked out of the room and into the living where Kyra, Buffy, and Kate were with Persephone.

"Hello, my love, did you have fun with your daddies while mama went to work?" I asked her as she crawled to me. "Such a good crawler, my love. Soon enough, you'll be walking and talking. After that, the world had better watch out." I knelt before kissing her head.

"I'm going to make sure we have everything ready for baking and making the chocolates," I voiced as I headed into the kitchen.

"Okay," Kyra responded as Kate took Persephone back.

After I walked into the kitchen, I checked everything before walking back into the living room where Kyra and Kate were playing with Persephone.

"Where's Elijah and Cole?" I asked.

"Elijah had a phone call, and Cole went to get groceries," Kate answered.

"How was work?" Kyra questioned.

"I saw someone that we saved in Sunnydale," I voiced.

"Who?" Kate asked.

"I don't remember her name," I replied as I got onto the floor and started to play with Persephone as she stacked the cups.

After an hour of playing, Cole and Elijah came back, so Kyra, Kate, and I got to work on the products for our business. Thirty minutes later, we were halfway done when Buffy came into the room.

"It's time for a quick patrol," Buffy voiced as he came into the room.

"Okay," Kyra replied before we got up from the table.

We headed out to the living room, dining room and Kitchen combo.

When we walked into the living room, dining room and Kitchen combo, Elijah, Klaus, and Finn were making dinner in the Kitchen. While Kol, Andy, Rebekah, Jeremy, and Cole were playing with Persephone.

"We're heading for a quick patrol," Kate voiced.

"Be careful," Elijah said as he kissed me on the forehead.

"We will be," I replied.

We headed out of the door.

When we got outside, we headed to Helen's Kitchen area as we walked along the street. We saw a homeless man sitting on the curb as another man crouched down beside him, holding out a leaflet.

"Hey, how are you? Can I talk to you for a moment?" We heard the man ask before saying. "I have something you might be interested in."

We continued to walk down the street as we passed a store where a homeless woman was cowering.

"I'm no one," We heard the homeless woman say.

We looked over at the woman as she continued to say, "I'm no one."

We looked away as we hid our faces from the woman. Buffy pulled her hair behind her ear as my expression became very sad.

"I'm no one," the homeless woman repeated.

We continued.

Back in Sunnydale...

Giles was on the phone in his office as Jenna worked on her laptop.

"Yes?" Giles said before thanking the person on the phone. "Thank you, thank you." Before he hung up. 

Jenna looked up from her laptop before getting up and following Giles out of the office.

"I have a lead," Giles said as Willow and Xander looked up from their homework. "A friend in Oakland has a-a-a sketchy report of..." As he grabbed his overcoat. "Two girls fending off a group of vampires..." As he grabbed his bag. "...about a week ago." Before looking at his watch. "There's a plane out in about an hour."

"And what makes this different from the last nine leads?" Xander questioned as he and Willow exchanged a look.

"Well, I believe there's a meal on this flight," Giles answered.

"Look, I don't mean to poop the party here, it's just, you get your hopes all up, and then it's just big fat raspberry, and I feel bad," Xander responded.

"But it's good that you're looking, though," Willow voiced before saying. "You shouldn't give up."

"Oh, yeah. Definitely," Xander returned.

"Yes, one must try. Well, I-I-I should go," Giles replied before rushing out.

"Be safe!" Jenna yelled after him before heading back to the office.

"You don't think maybe he'll find them?" Willow questioned.

Even though Willow had known where Aurora and some of the others were during the summer. She just didn't know where they were now.

"I think he'll find them when they want to be found," Xander responded before they went back to doing their homework.

Back in LA...

We were walking back to the apartment after a quick patrol when we heard someone behind us.

"Phoebe? Anne?" We heard the girl from the diner say.

We didn't respond.

"Phoebe? Anne?" the girl said a little louder but still got no response from us before saying. "Aurora? Buffy?"

We all stopped in our tracks as the girl caught up to us.

"Don't be mad. I won't turn in or nothing," the girls said as she came around us before saying. "I guess you don't recognize me."

"Lily?" Buffy and I whispered after thinking for a moment.

"I mean from before. I was calling myself Chantarelle then. I used to..." Lily said before sighing and continuing. "Well, I was in this cult that worshipped vampires. So lame, I know."

"Yeah... I, uh, I remember," Buffy replied.

"But... you and Aurora kinda saved us. I never thanked you or anything," Lily responded.

"Did you tell anyone who we were?" Kyra asked.

"Oh, no! N-not even Rickie. I mean, I was so surprised to see you here, waiting tables... But I wouldn't tell. I know how it is when you gotta get lost," Lilly voiced as we started to walk again.

"Do you, uh, do you live nearby?" Buffy questioned.

"Well, there's a couple of places. Uh, they're abandoned, and lotta people stay there," Lily answered before she paused before asking. "So, how come you came up with Anne and Phoebe?"

"It's my middle name," Buffy replied.

"It's my biological name," I told her.

"Lily's from a song. Rickie picked it," Lily returned. "I'm always changing my name. Chantarelle was part of my exotic phase."

"It's nice. It's a... also a mushroom," Kate responded.

"It is?" Lily returned. "That's really embarrassing."

"It's an exotic mushroom. If that's any comfort," Kate told her.

"Well, before that, I was following this loser preacher," Lily voiced before telling us. "I was calling myself 'Sister Sunshine.'"

"What do they call you at home?" I asked.

Lily looked away from us as she didn't respond.

"I like Lily," Buffy told her.

"It's cool for now," Lily voiced before asking. "Hey, do you have any money?"

We stopped before giving her a surprised look.

"I didn't mean that like... Well, I just mean... I know this guy. He's gonna have this kinda rave thing in his basement," Lily continued before saying. "We could go. I mean, I could show you if you had... 'Cause I'm broke."

"I-I don't think so. We just kind of... We want to be alone," Buffy stammered.

"I didn't mean to bug you," Lily returned.

"No! I-I didn't, I didn't mean that it's just..." Buffy stuttered.

"Well, she meant that it's a lot of people, and it's too much," Kate voiced.

Lily crossed her arms as she looked very disappointed.

"W-we do have the money, though... so," Buffy said as she looked down and started to dig through her purse before suggesting. "Why don't you and Rickie go, and then maybe we could meet you some other time..."

"No. It's okay, it's okay, forget about it. Just..." Lily replied as she raised her hands to wave off the offer before a homeless man rudely pushed his away between Kate and Lily before Lily said. "That's not very polite." As we stared after the homeless man.

"Are you okay?" Kyra asked as the man turned around and looked blankly at us.

"I'm no one," the homeless man said as I remember that the homeless woman from before that we had seen earlier had said the same thing.

We watched as he turned back around and walked into traffic as our eyes widened with concern. The man stopped in the middle of the lane as an oncoming trunk came his way. Buffy quickly gave me her back as she rushed into the street. The truck driver honked his horn and slammed on the brakes. We watched as the truck started to skid as Buffy pushed the man out of the way in time to save but in enough time to avoid getting hit. We cringed as Buffy's legs were hit hard by the bumper. Buffy's body slapped down hard onto the hood as she slid into the windshield. We watched as she bounced back before sliding off the truck hood as it screeched to a halt. We ran over as she hit the pavement before flipping over back and rolling to stop in the middle of the street. When we got to Buffy, the driver got out of the truck as Buffy tried to get up.

"Are you okay?" Lily asked as other people came running over.

"Are you alright, Buffy?" I asked her.

"Jeez, I didn't see you," The driver voiced as he grabbed her by the arms and helped her up.

"Oh... Maybe, you shouldn't move," Lily responded.

"Maybe you should lie down," the driver suggested.

"No, I'm fine," Buffy voiced as she nervously looked at the people gathering around us.

 "Somebody call an ambulance!" The driver yelled.

"No! I'm okay. I just..." Buffy said as she held her hands up to fend off everyone's help.

"We need to go," I finished for Buffy as I grabbed her hand, and we ran off.

We headed further down the street and towards our apartment building. We walked a brisk pass around the corner as we bumped into a man and knocked something out of his hands.

"Whoa!" the man said as he saw his leaflets on the ground before saying. "Oh..." he and Buffy knelt down to help him pick up the papers before asking us. "Where are you girls running to?"

I could feel something wasn't right with him, but I didn't know what.

"Sorry," Buffy replied.

"Maybe I should ask, where are you running from?" the man questioned as they finished gathering his leaflets before standing back up. "You're pretty new around here," He stared at us before voicing. "Uh, you girls got the 'look', though." 

"The 'look'?" I questioned.

"Like you all had to grow up way too fast," the man responded before asking. "What are your names?"

"Anne," Buffy voiced.

"Phoebe," I lied.

"Piper," Kate replied.

"Prudence," Kyra stated as we pushed past him to go.

"Hey, um... I'm Ken," Ken introduced himself before handing me a leaflet. "Here, go ahead, take one of these."

I got a vision flash of him with reddish-orange skin and demonic guards before I looked at the leaflet. The paper read, 'Come home to Family Home,' and it had a drawing of a house with a silhouette of a man as he reached out to hug a child. 

"Don't be shy about stopping by. I mean... I guess you're not starving, but..." Ken voiced before continuing. "We're not just interested in feeding the body. You might find something you're missing."

"We're alright," Kate told him as she looked at him.

"Then why are you here?" Ken questioned as he gave us a look of disbelief before we looked away. "This is not a good place for a kid to be here. You get old fast here." Buffy looked at him with a knowingly look before he continued. "The thing that drains the life out of them is despair. I mean, kids come here, and they got nothing to go home to, and... this ends up being the last stop for a lot of them. Shouldn't have to be that way."

We did have a home to go to, but he was right with one thing. The children who live on the streets but sometimes only live on the streets because they aren't safe at home. 

"Come on, we have to head home," Kyra voiced before heading back to the apartment.

In Sunnydale...

The other half of the Scooby gang were at the Bronze as music played in the background. It wasn't a busy night as Xander was lounging on a couch off to the side. Willow sat on the loveseat as she looked for Oz.

"Boy, I'm glad we showed up for 'Depressing Night,'" Xander voiced.

"I wonder what they're doing right now," Willow muttered as she thought about the others that weren't there.

"Oh, I know what's she doing. Gabbing to all of her friends about her passionate affair with Pedro the Cabana Boy, laughing bout me, thinking how she still might have feelings about me," Xander expressed before glancing over at Willow as she raised her eyebrows at him and realized she was talking about Buffy and the others. "Oh, it's quite possible you were talking about Buffy and the others."

"It's possible. The Bronze just never seems the same without them," Willow told him as Oz arrived before handing him a drink and sitting down next to Willow.

"Yeah, and the slaying isn't getting any easier, either," Xander responded.

"I don't know. I think we're kinda getting a rhythm down," Oz replied.

"We're losing half the vamps," Xander returned.

"Yeah, but... rhythmically," Oz stated.

"We just need to work on our timing, I think," Willow voiced.

"No, I know what we need," Xander responded as he looked up.

"Vampire Slayers & Hunters?" Oz suggested.

"Next best thing," Xander returned as he started to look around.

Willow followed his gaze as Cordelia walked into the Bronze with a few friends.

"Bait," Xander told them.

Back in LA...

By the time, we got back to the apartment Persephone was being given a bath by Cole. 

"Good evening, how was patrol?" Elijah asked before pecking my lips.

"Weird. I got a vision from this guy. I don't think he's human," I answered.

"We also ran into someone we had saved back in Sunnydale," Kate voiced.

"How's Persephone?" I asked.

"She's good, she ate and Cole is giving her a bath," Elijah said. 

"Sit down, we'll get your dinner heated up," Klaus voiced.

"You don't have to do that," Kyra expressed as we sat down at the kitchen table.

"We could have done that ourselves," Buffy responded.

The boys sat our plates with Pork Chops, Green Beans and mashed potatoes in front of us before handing us our forks and knives.

"What would you like to drink?" Finn asked.

"I'll have Milk," I answered.

"I'll have Water," Kate voiced.

"I'll have Apple Juice," Kyra responded.

"And I'll have Water as well," Buffy stated.

The boys got our drink orders together as we started eating. 

"Look Persephone, looks who's home," Cole voiced as he came into the room with a clean and dressed Persephone.

"Ma..." Persephone said as she reached out for me.

"Mama's got to eat but daddy will feed you your bottle and after I'll lay you down to sleep," I told her before starting to eat again.

Twenty-five minutes later, we were done eating and I read Goodnight Moon before laying her down to sleep. 

"Mama and your daddies love you, May the Angel watch over you," I whispered as I turned on her noise machine and baby monitor before turning out the light and heading out of the room.

I walked back into the living room, dining and kitchen combo where the girls were getting everything ready for baking. I grabbed my apron that was on a hook nearest to my cart for baking. I put on the apron before tying it. 

"What are we making tonight?" Klaus asked.

"We are making Banana Chocolate Chip Bread and Muffins..." Kate answered.

"And Pumpkin flavoured chocolates for the fall season," Kyra added.

We got the ingredients out and started working.

Three hours later, the Banana Chocolate Chip Bread and Muffins as well as the Pumpkin flavoured Chocolate truffles were done and ready for the next day. 

"Time for us to head off," Kyra voiced.

"Yeah," I yawned.

"See you all in the morning," Kate voiced as she, Finn, and Leo rolled their cart out banana chocolate chips loaves, muffins and pumpkin flavoured chocolate truffles out of our apartment.

"Night," Buffy, Rebekah, and Kyra said as they followed suit with their carts.

"Night," I replied as the door shut.

"Go have a shower. We'll clean up," Cole voiced.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Of course. Go shower and get ready for bed," Elijah said before kissing my cheek.

"Okay," I replied as I took off my apron and headed for the bathroom.

When I got into the bathroom, I took off my jewelry, shoes and clothes. I put the dirty clothes into the hamper before turning on the shower. Just as the steam came from the shower, I knew it was time for me to get in. I got into the shower and washed off the day's work and the flour from baking before washing my hair and getting out. I dried off my body before getting my housecoat. I blow-dried my hair as I combed it. I put my protection necklace and Claddagh ring back on before I headed into the bedroom. I grabbed nightclothes before getting dressed in them. I headed out of the room with my housecoat and placed it back in the bathroom before getting into bed. I grabbed the book, I was reading last night and started to read. Thirty minutes later, a wet Cole came into the room. From the corner of my eye, I watched him get dressed in his PJs before Elijah came into the room already dressed for bed.

"Night," I said as I put my bookmark back into the book before setting it on the side table.  

"Night," Elijah replied as he got into bed next to me.

Cole soon joined before turning out the light. We turned over and went to sleep.

Chapter Text

Time Skip...

It was morning in Sunnydale, and at the Summers-Gilbert-Forbes-Lockwood household, Joyce was writing out a few bills as Jenna worked on her college work. They both looked up as they heard a knock at the door. They got up and headed over to the front door. Jenna opened as Joyce was surprised to see who was standing there.

"Um, hello," Joyce said.

"Good morning, Giles," Jenna voiced.

"Hello, Um, may I..." Giles said as he gestured inside.

"Oh, uh, of course," Joyce conveyed as she waved him in. "Come on in."

"Thank you," Giles said as he slowly walked into the living room. "I've, uh, just come back from Oakland. A friend of mine called with a lead. Stories about a group fighting vampires." He took off his glasses. "It... uh, didn't pan out, I'm afraid." As he cleaned them.

"No girls and Jeremy," Joyce replied with a sigh.

"No vampires. Just a bunch of school kids in heavy mascara listening to extremely loud and silly music," Giles told them.

"Well, thank you for going," Joyce said as she and Jenna stepped into the living before Joyce crossed her arms. "I can hardly, uh..." She exhaled before smiling weakly. "I can hardly leave the house. I'm just afraid they'll call, and they'll need my help."

Jenna inwardly shook her head as she knew that Aurora and the others were okay and safe but weren't ready to come back. 

"The girls and Jeremy are the most capable children I've ever known," Giles said as he put his glasses back on. "I mean, they may be confused, unhappy, but I, uh... I honestly believe they are in no danger."

"I just wish I could talk to them," Joyce replied as she lowered her arms before fidgeting with her hands. "The last thing we did was fight."

"Joyce, you mustn't blame yourself for them leaving," Giles responded.

"I don't," Joyce told him as she nodded before taking a breath. "I blame you." As she exhaled.

Giles and Jenna were taken back as they heard what Joyce had just said.

"You've been this huge influence on them, guiding them. You had this whole relationship with them behind my back," Joyce continued. "I feel like you've taken them away from me."

Jenna and Giles were still speechless for a moment before Jenna spoke.

"Giles didn't make them who they are," Jenna responded.

"And who exactly are they?" Joyce questioned as Jenna and Giles looked at her.

In Los Angeles, at the apartment, I was getting ready for another day at the diner as Elijah got Persephone ready for the day. I got dressed in my work uniform before doing my hair and adding a little bit of makeup. 

"Aurora, breakfast is ready," Cole yelled from the kitchen.

"Coming," I yelled back as I grabbed my bag and coat before heading out of the bedroom.

I passed the nursery to see Elijah changing Persephone's diaper and getting her ready for the day. I walked into the kitchen, living room, and dining room combo and smelt the Banana Chocolate Chip French Toast cooking.

"Morning, everyone," I said as I grabbed my drink from the drink cart before sitting next to Buffy.

"How did you sleep?" Kate asked.

"Okay, but I got nauseous and sick this morning when I woke up," I answered.

Cole placed my plate of French Toast made from the Banana Chocolate Chip Bread in front of me. I put my topping on them before starting to chow down on them. 

"Well, that's normal," Kyra responded.

We went back to eating before Elijah came out with dressed Persephone and got her situated in her high chair. Elijah started feeding Persephone her breakfast. Buffy and I finished our breakfast, got up, and handed our plates to Cole and Klaus as they cleaned up from breakfast.

"Breakfast was good," I said before wiping my face and kissing Persephone's head.

"Bye-bye, Persephone," I said as I waved goodbye to Persephone.

Buffy and I grabbed our coats before putting them on and headed out the door for work.

Time Skip

It was almost 2 pm at the diner. Buffy and I were filling up the sugar, salt and pepper dispensers. We heard the door open before we heard someone coming over to us.

"Buff... um, Anne?" We heard Lily say before she asked. "Can I talk to you both?"

"Look, this really isn't a good time," Buffy responded as we glanced at her but continued with our work.

"Can it wait?" I questioned.

"Rickie's gone. I haven't seen him for more than a day. I..." Lily voiced. "He's never left that long. I think something's..." She took a breath before continuing. "...happened. Maybe something's happened."

"Well, did you call the police?" Buffy asked.

"Rickie skipped out on his parole," Lily sighed. "Uh, they would just cause more trouble."

"I don't know, did you... did you ask around?" I responded as I exhaled.

"Can you help me?" Lily asked us.

"Uh, w-we can't," Buffy said as we finished what we were doing. 

We grabbed our coats as it was time to head home.

"B-but that's who you are and stuff, right?" Lily said as she followed us before continuing. "I mean, you help people, and, you know..."

"We can't get into this," I replied.

"We're sorry, Lily," Buffy told her.

"You, you know how to do stuff," Lily expressed.

"We don't," Buffy said.

"Not anymore," I finished her sentence.

"But..." Lily whined before continuing. "I don't know what to do."

I sighed before saying.

"Fine, where would he go?" I asked her.

After Lily told us where Rickie could have gone, we headed to the Blood Clinic first. We walked into the clinic and saw people giving blood.

"We gave blood lots of times 'cause you get a few bucks," Lily told us. "And they have cookies."

"You're a fan of the sugar rush?" Buffy questioned.

"It's nice," Lily replied as she smiled.

"Hi," A nurse said as she came over and asked. "Are you here to donate blood?"

"Uh, we're looking for a friend," I voiced with an uneasy voice as something didn't feel right with the nurse.

"Rickie T.? We come in sometimes," Lily told the nurse.

"Rickie, sure," The nurse responded before telling us. "Uh... he's not here."

"Well, do you know if he's been in the last day or so?" Buffy asked.

"Well, let me check the sheet," the nurse replied.

"Ow!" We heard a man yell.

We looked over at where the 'ow' came from as Buffy got squeamish as we saw him being stuck with a needle.

"This will probably go faster if we split up," Buffy suggested.

"Can I come with you?" Lily asked as she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, where did we lose you on the whole 'splitting up' thing?" I questioned.

"Oh," Lily responded with a smile before she apologized. "Sorry."

"I was thinking we could check out some of your hangouts and, um, I guess, meet later at my place," Buffy said as she gave Lily her address.

"Okay," Lily replied.

"Sorry, guys," The nurse said as she came over. "He hasn't been here."

"Thanks," I voiced as I could tell that something wasn't right with the nurse.

"I'll tell him you were looking," The nurse responded.

"Great," Buffy muttered before leaving the blood bank.

I turned back as the nurse lost her friendly look and started to look nervous before I walked out of the blood bank.

After Buffy and I split from Lily, we headed back to the apartments. When we got to our apartments, Buffy and I split up and headed into our apartments. When I walked through the door, Persephone was in her seat playing with her toys.

"Looks who's home," Cole said as he came over and kissed me.

"Hey, um, Kyra, Kate, can we talk in the bedroom?" I voiced.

"Okay," Kyra responded as we headed into the bedroom. 

I got out of my diner uniform before getting my patrol clothes. 

"What's going on?" Kate asked.

"Do you remember my vision?" I questioned.

"Yeah," Kyra replied.

"I think it's happening tonight," I told them.

"I'll go change," Kate voiced.

"Me too," Kyra stated.

"Quickly," I replied as they headed out of the room.

I finished getting ready before pulling my hair back. I walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen, dining, and living room combo.

"What's going on?" Jeremy asked.

"My vision, I believe it's going to come true tonight," I voiced before kissing Persephone's head.

"Who's going?" Rebekah asked.

"Jeremy, Kate, Kyra, Buffy and I," I told them.

"Not without me," Cole stated.

"Me too," Andy voiced.

"Me as well," Leo stated.

"Fine, but everyone else stays here to protect Persephone," I responded as Kate, Kyra, and Buffy came back into the room.

"Let's go," Buffy voiced before heading out of the apartment.

A Slight Time Skip...

We had been walking to the spots that Rickie and Lily were known before heading to our stop. We walked into an abandoned building and saw a homeless man sleeping as we walked through the building. We made sure to not step on anyone as we felt the stares on our backs. We continued our way and turned the corner before we were startled by a man with his arms full as he walked the other way behind us. We continued before we noticed an old man lying on the floor. It was the same man that Buffy had saved from the truck, and next to him was an empty bottle of drain cleaner. I walked over and knelt next to him and felt a pulse.

"Any pulse?" Kate asked.

"No," I replied as I put his arm down.

"Wait, what was that?" Kyra questioned as we noticed half of a tattoo on his forearm.

"It's a tattoo," Buffy muttered as we saw the name Lily tattooed on the banner of that tattoo.

"Rickie?" I questioned in confusion.

"We need to head back to my apartment. Lily will be there waiting," Buffy voiced as I got back up with Cole's help before heading out of the abandoned building.

When we arrived at the apartments, we headed into Buffy's and saw Lily holding Buffy's stuffed duck. 

"Did you find Rickie? I thought..." Lily said as she placed the duck down before stepping closer to us. "Well, he likes to go to this movie house. You can get in around the back..."

"Lily..." Buffy interrupted before saying. "I think he's dead."

"But..." Lily said with a lost and sad voice. "He takes care of me."

"I'm sorry," Kyra voiced.

"We're gonna get a place," Lily replied. "His cousin can get him a job at the car wash."

I could tell she wasn't understanding what we had just told her.

"Lily, there's..." Kate said as she exhaled before she continued. "There's something else." She sat on Buffy's bed. 

"The... the person that I found... was old," I told her before saying. "He-he looked about eighty." 

"Well, that's not Rickie!" Lily reacted.

"We're sure it was. W-we don't know how, but..." Buffy started to say.

"But, it was like something drained the life out of him," Kate finished.

"Do you mean like a vampire?" Lily asked.

"No, a vampire couldn't accelerate the aging process," Jeremy answered.

"Maybe something in his blood..." Buffy voiced before I had a thought.

"When was the last time you guys gave blood together?" I asked her.

"I don't understand," Lily voiced before suggesting. "Maybe it's not Rickie, okay?"

"Lily, this is something," Kyra said as Kate got off Buffy's bed. "You're going have to understand and deal with it."

"But he didn't do anything wrong!" Lily exclaimed as she became flustered before asking. "Why would this happen to him?"

"That's not the point," Kate voiced as Lily calmed down for a moment. "These things happen all the time. You can't just close your eyes and hope that they're gonna go away."

"Is it 'cause of you?" Lily questioned.

"What?" I responded with confusion.

"You know about... monsters and stuff," Lily voiced. "You could've brought this with you."

"We didn't bring anything with us. And we didn't ask for you to come to us with your problems," Buffy expressed with annoyance before continuing. "We just wanted to be left alone. If you can't deal with it, then don't lay it off on us!"

We watched as Lily held her hand up to deny what we said but walked out of Buffy's apartment. The girls and I sighed as Jeremy looked out the window.

Outside on the street, Lily had come out of the apartment building and started walking before stopping. She leaned against a storefront iron gate as a man came up behind her.

"Are you okay?" the man asked.

Lily shook her head as she tried to keep herself from crying.

"Hey, it's okay. Maybe I can help," the man voiced.

"You can't," Lily sniffed before taking a deep breath.

"Look, I know you all think I'm a big square handing out leaflets about hope," Ken voiced before continuing. "But hope is a real thing. Just like despair and hope can fill up a part of you, that's missing."

"But Rickie..." Lily started to say.

"Rickie? Say, are you Lily?" the man asked as he smiled before saying. "Right! Right, he was talking about you."

"You've seen Rickie?" Lily questioned as she faced him.

"Oh, sure! Rickie's with us now," the man lied.

"They said he was dead," Lily muttered.

"Well, someone's sure-handed you a tall tale. Rickie is no more dead than I am," the man lied before suggesting. "Why don't you come to Family Home? We'll get you taken care of."

Lily considered for a moment before the man smiled at her as she nodded in agreement. He took her by the arm and led her away.

After Lily left, we headed to the apartment for a quick dinner before heading to the blood bank. When we got to the blood clinic, we broke in and started to look through the records cabinets. Each of us took a filing cabinet as we searched for Rickie's records. We each grabbed a couple of files before closing our cabinets and brought them to a desk. Jeremy turned on the light as we started to go through them. I found Rickie's file and opened it before scanning his latest donation form and seeing the word 'candidate' in the comments box.

"Candidate for what?" I muttered.

"What?" the others said as they looked over at me.

The others looked at theirs and saw the same word as we heard footsteps.

"What are you doing?" We heard the nurse from this afternoon ask.

"Breaking into your office and going through your private files," Buffy voiced.

"Candidate for what?" Kate asked as she looked at another file.

"I'm calling the police," The nurse voiced as she walked toward us.

I reached over and yanked the phone off of the wall. It fell onto the desk with its wires torn.

"Now, you've got a whole bunch of candidates here. I wonder if any of them are missing like Rickie," Kyra voiced as we faced the nurse.

"Gosh, I bet they are," I expressed as I got a flash from another file of the same person from my last vision but with guards with a greyish tinge to their faces.

"You're getting yourselves in a lot of trouble," the nurse told us.

"We don't want any trouble," Buffy voiced before continuing. "We just want to be alone and quiet in a room with a chair, fireplace and a tea cozy. I don't even know what a tea cozy is, but I want one." 

"Instead, we keep getting in trouble, which we are more than willing to share," Jeremy told the nurse as the nurse started to look nervous. 

"What are you doing with these kids?" Kyra asked.

"Nothing. I just... I give him the names of the healthy ones," the nurse told us.

"Give them to who?" Kate questioned.

Across town at a building, the man that led Lily away was waiting for her outside a room.

"Well, don't you look nice?" the man voiced as Lily came out of the room wearing a simple long grey tunic.

"I guess," Lily replied.

"Well, you don't want to wear your own outfit to the cleansing. It'll get soaked," the man told her. 

"A cleansing is like a baptism? Right?" Lily questioned.

"Not quite the same," the man responded.

"Will I see Rickie after?" Lily asked as she followed him down the hall.

"Oh, of course. He's waiting for you. He's very excited," the man told her as they continued down the hall.

In Sunnydale, the rest of the Scooby gang was walking along a cemetery pathway. 

"Why do I have to be bait? I'm always bait," Cordelia complained as Oz twirled his stake. "Why can't Willow be bait?"

"He's already seen Willow," Xander voiced before saying. "And could you complain louder so that all the vampires leave?"

"I think this is a good spot," Oz told them as they all stopped and looked around before asking. "Is everybody packing?" Xander and Willow pulled out a stake, but Willow also had a cross. "Let's do it."

Willow, Oz and Xander split up before finding a spot to hide while Cordelia was alone and out in the open. 

"I'm doing this for Buffy and Aurora's sake," Cordelia expressed before following after Xander and saying. "This has nothing to do with you."

"Yeah, like I needed that cleared up," Xander voiced as he found a hiding spot before saying. "Go away. This is my hiding spot."

"Where do I hide?" Cordelia questioned.

"You don't hide. You're the bait. Go act baity," Xander told her.

"What's the plan?" Cordelia asked.

"The vampire attacks you," Xander responded.

"And then what?" Cordelia questioned.

"The vampire kills you. We watch and rejoice," Xander joked.

Willow sighed from her hiding spot.

"Everything's a joke with you," Cordelia responded.

"No, just our relationship," Xander replied.

"What relationship?" Cordelia questioned.

Willow looked down at her stake as she contemplated using it on them, without realizing that the vampire they were looking for appeared behind her as he smiled evilly at her.

"Oh, that's right, I forgot," Xander voiced before saying. "We actually want to bury that piece of the past, don't we?"

While Xander was speaking, the vampire they were looking for was sneaking up on Willow.

Back in LA at the Family Home, the man and Lily walked into a room where a pool of black tar substance was.

"We come to this station to wash away the past," the man said as they walked over to the pool with what looked like black tar. "Go ahead, kneel." He indicated toward the edge of the pool.

Lily knelt as the man squatted next to her. 

"We let the water run over the sin, the pain and the uncertainty," the man told her.

"It looks kinda... dirty," Lily responded.

"Yeah," the man said as he smiled.

After the clinic, we were outside the family home center. Buffy was talking to the men at the door.

"You know, we just... we woke up, and looked in the mirror, and thought, 'hey, what's with all the sin? We need to change. W-we're dirty. I'm bad with the... sex and the envy, and that loud music us kids listen to nowadays. W..." Buffy lied before realizing the men weren't buying it and said, "Oh, I just suck at undercover."

"Where's Ken?" I asked them.

One of the men tried to close the door, but Kyra blasted it open and slammed it into one of the man's faces. We marched inside and started searching for Ken.

Inside the room, Lily started to reach down into the black water pool but hesitated. Her hand disappeared into the thick pick black water as Aurora, Buffy, and the others came into the room.

We finally found the room. The door slammed open as we came into the room. 

"This is a private moment. If you could just..." Ken started to say as he looked over at us and stood up.

"How do you make them old, Ken?" Kate questioned.

"Do you feed on youth? What's the deal?" Kyra asked him.

"Do you really wanna know?" Ken responded with a question.

"What's going on?" We heard Lily question as we saw her near a pool of black tar substance.

Suddenly, we saw Lily get grabbed by something as we started towards her. Lily disappeared into the black slime as Ken grabbed Buffy. The rest of us tried to get him off of her as he started to choke her before we fell into the black pool. 

On the other side of the pool, we were in a dimly lit passageway as we fell from the ceiling. Our group looked at the pool for a brief moment before looking at Lily who was holding her head as she leaned against a wall.

"Lily," Jeremy said as we crawled over to her.

I could tell that Ken was hurt from the fall.

"Oh..." Lily moaned in pain.

Kyra, Kate, Buffy and I looked at the pool and saw the waves dissipate.

"Oh, my face!" Ken moaned as we looked over at him. "Ow! My face!" He turned towards us as he pulled his hair and face off. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to glue that thing on?!" 

I gasped as I saw Ken's face. It was red and his head was bald. It was exactly like my vision. I also noticed that pieces of his skin that were missing were redder than the rest of him. Lily started to panic as we got to our feet. Buffy and Jeremy tried to pull Lily up with them as Ken yelled.

"Guards!" Ken yelled as he stood up.

Buffy grabbed Lily's hand as the boys grabbed ours before we started running. We ran through the maze of halls before coming out to a ledge. The room was like a large ironwork. It had huge vats of molten metal, sparks flying everywhere, and it was hot and smoky. My sisters and I looked closer and saw people being used as slave labour while the guards had whips to keep them in line. We also saw zombie-like humans pounding metal on anvils, pushing wheelbarrows from one place to another and swinging sledgehammers. We heard coughing as people worked and whips snapping. 

"Welcome to my world," Ken said as he came up behind us before saying. "I hope you like it." Ken and the guards hit Buffy and the boys in the face with their clubs before grabbing onto us. "You're never leaving here." He smiled and licked his lips as the guards dragged us away.

In Sunnydale, Xander and Cordelia were still arguing as the vampire stalked Willow.

"Let me just ask you one thing: how long did it take to forget me? Were you still taxing down the runway, or was it actually in the cab?" Xander asked.

"Oh, yeah, Mr. Faithful? You probably met up with some hot little Inca Mummy Girl," Cordelia responded before telling. "Yeah! I heard about her."

Xander raised his finger at her and was about to say something when they were interrupted by Willow's scream.

"Help!" Willow screamed as she was tackled to the ground.

Everyone's attention turned towards Willow as they rushed to her aid. Oz got there first and jumped over the vampire before grabbing him and throwing him aside. Willow and the vampire Andrew quickly got to their feet as Oz held his stake ready to attack. Willow ran as Oz lunged for Andrew, but he diverted Oz to the side and sent Oz rolling to the ground. Xander came at Andrew with his stake ready, but Andrew grabbed his wrist with one hand and his shoulder with the other as they began to struggle. 

"Xander!" Cordelia exclaimed as she watched them struggle with worry in her eyes.

She decided to join the fight as she attacked Andrew from behind. She pushed Andrew and Xander to the ground before they were sandwiched in-between Andrew. Xander was on the bottom as Cordelia was on top, while Andrew was between them. While Cordelia's weight was on top of Andrew and Xander's advantage against the ground, Andrew couldn't hold the stake any longer as it plunged into his chest. He exploded into ashes between them as Cordelia fell on top of Xander. The two of them looked at each for a moment before they grabbed each other into a passionate kiss.

Back inside Ken's World...

We were dragged into a cell, while Buffy and the boys were dragged in and left on the floor unconscious. Lily, Kate, Kyra, and I sat behind them as we leaned against the walls and pillars. 

"Oh. Uhh..." Buffy and the boys moaned as they regained continuousness.

"Lily?" Jeremy muttered as they sat up and felt their heads for injuries.

"I always knew I would come here... sooner or later," Lily voiced before saying. "I knew I belonged here."

"Where?" Kate asked as we looked around.

"Hell," Lily answered.

"This isn't a Hell," Andy told her as he turned his head towards us.

I knew there wasn't just one hell, but many as my thoughts were interrupted.

"Isn't it?" Demon Ken questioned as he appeared on the other side of the bars.

We looked over at Demon Ken, but I could that the boys and Buffy were a bit dizzy from turning their heads so fast.

"Uh..." Buffy and the boys moaned in pain as they rubbed their foreheads.

"What is Hell but the total absence of hope? The substance, the tactile proof of despair," Demon Ken said.

Is this how Angel is feeling right now? No hope of coming home to Persephone and us.

"You're right, Lily. This is where you've been heading all your life," Demon Ken continued before telling her. "Just like Rickie."

"Rickie?" Lily whispered.

"He forgot you. Well, it took him a long time. He remembered your name years after he'd forgotten his own. But, in the end..." Demon Ken told her.

"Years? But..." Lily responded.

"Oh. Uh, interesting thing: time moves differently here than in your reality. A hundred years will pass here, but on earth, it's only a day," Demon Ken voiced.

"So you just work us till we're old and spit us back out?" I questioned.

"That's the plan. See, Lily, you'll die of old age before anyone wonders where you went. Not that anyone will, that's why we chose you," Demon Ken stated.

"You didn't choose any of us," Buffy voiced even though she didn't mean it.

"No, But... I know you... Anne, Pheobe. So afraid. So pathetically determined to run away from whatever it is you used to be," Demon Ken voiced as Buffy looked away, and Cole glared at him. "To disappear. Congratulations..." Buffy looked back at him. "You got your wish."

Demon Ken walked away as he left us to our thoughts.

A little while later, we were taken to a personnel evaluator. We were in before being herded back out as the doors opened. The girls and I tripped and fell as Lily and the others stopped. A guard started to explain as the boys helped us up.

"You work, and you'll live. That is all," Guard #1 said in a deep voice.

The guards had even less skin on their heads than Demon Ken. They were wearing a hood that looked like it was made from human skin sewn together. Their chins and cheeks were exposed flesh and muscle, and they had no lips covering their teeth. By the time the second guard spoke, we were standing, and Buffy was holding her head in pain.

"You don't complain or laugh or do anything besides work. Whatever you thought, whatever you were, does not matter. You are no one now. You mean nothing," The second guard told us.

The first guard walked over to a boy and faced him as the evaluator slammed close.

"Who are you?" Guard #1 asked.

"Aaron," the boy muttered with fear in his voice.

The second guard whaled on him with his club. The boy grunted in pain as he fell to the ground unconscious. Buffy sobered up as we stared intensely ahead.

"Who are you?" Guard #1 asked Lily.

"No one," Lily whispered.

"Who are you?" Guard #1 asked the next person.

"No one," the second boy responded in fear.

"Who are you?" Guard #1 asked me as he reached Buffy and me.

"I'm Aurora, and this is Buffy," I answered as I looked at him for a moment and smiled. "The Vampire Slayers, and you are?" 

Both guards roared as they swung clubs to strike us. We sidestepped them before grabbing their arms as they bent over from their follow-through. I slammed my other forearm down on the guards and broke it before he fell to the floor in pain. I picked up his club and swung it at guard number #4 as Buffy did the same to guard #3 striking them in the head. We swung again at two more guards and knocked them unconscious. 

"Anyone who's not having fun here, follow us," Jeremy voiced as we started to run.

The group followed us.

Sparks were going everywhere as we saw people working as we hid underneath a metal staircase. 

"There's no way we get back up there without meeting new people," Leo voiced as we looked up at the guards. 

"Okay, Lily, when the guards leave... and they will leave... I want you to take these people and get them up there, okay? Fast and quiet," Kyra told Lily as she looked at her.

"You're leaving me? But..." Lily started to say.

"Lily... You can handle this and 'cause we say so," Buffy interrupted.

"We've gone public," Kate voiced as a siren began to blare.

"Okay, quick, get them up. Go! Quiet!" I told Lily.

Lily started to lead them away.

"I'm sorry I said this was your fault before," Lily said as she walked back to us.

"Lily, this can wait," Kate voiced.

"Well, in case we die..." Lily started to say.

"Go! Go!" Buffy interrupted. 

"Andy, Jeremy go with them," Cole told them.

Lily, Andy and Jeremy ran off to lead the group out as we saw two guards coming for us. Kate, Kyra, Buffy, Cole and I started to run as we tried to lead the guards away. We winded through the people as they blindly kept working.

"Get out of the way!" We heard a guard yell.

I could tell they were keeping up with us as another guard yelled.

"Come on, get out of the way!" another guard yelled.

Cole saw a pole jutting out of the floor and grabbed it before swinging it around and knocking one of the guards out as I kicked one of them with an aerial side kick. Buffy, Kate, Leo and Kyra were fighting their guards as Cole let go of the pole before we started running again. Moments later, we reached a platform and shoulder rolled onto it before rising to a standing position. We had five pursuers up on the stage and tried to backhand swing at us with their sledgehammers, but we ducked them and blocked their second swings. One of the guards kicked with his knee and got Buffy in the stomach, stunning her. Another guard punched me and knocked me to the floor. The same guards swung at our heads, but Buffy and I clamped our hands around the hammer's handle and yanked them up and over us. Buffy and I still had their hammers and quickly got to our feet as the guards rolled off the platform. I saw Kate, Kyra, Leo and Cole fighting the guards as four guards left the ledge and started approaching us.

With Lily, Andy and Leo...

They were leading the group up a set of stairs.

"C'mon, C'mon, everybody, go! Go!" Lily, Andy and Jeremy said as they ushered them up.

Leo was in front as one after the other quickly climbed up the stairs before Lily and Andy brought up the rear. 

Back at the Platform...

The five of us continued to fight the guards. I kicked a guard in the face with a full spinning out-to-in crescent kick before he took the blow and fell off the platform. Buffy's guard swung at Buffy's legs with his sledgehammer before she jumped high to avoid the swing. I swung my hammer into the guard's face, knocking him down as he tried to get up again. I knocked him down again with a snapping roundhouse kick to his arm, which kicked his hammer away in the process. The guards got back to their feet. Buffy and I swung our hammer in an uppercut, striking them in the jaw and sending them flying off the platform in a backflip. Another two guards jumped onto the platform and tackled Buffy and me as they struggled to the hammers out of our hands.

Up above on the ledge, Demon Ken and two more guards came out to see what was happening. Demon Ken couldn't believe what he was seeing as he saw Anne, 'Phoebe' and their friends fighting the guards. 

"Humans don't fight back," Demon Ken voiced as he watched from the ledge.

Demon ken watched as the guard on the platform tried to pound 'Anne's' head with his club, but her hammer held high and blocked his attack.

"Humans don't fight back!" Demon Ken said with rage as the guard dropped his weapon.

' Anne ' swung down her hammer with her hands, which carried the guard's hands. She grabbed him by the neck, spun around once before throwing him through the air before he hit a steel beam and slumped to the ground. Another guard was up on the platform with a battle-axe. He was swinging it at Phoebe, but she leaned aside and missed.

"That's how this works!" Demon Ken exclaimed.

'Pheobe' managed to duck the guard's next swing, avoiding decapitation. The guard swung again from above, but she blocked his attack with her hammer. The head of the axe was embedded in the handle. 'Pheobe' did a front snap kick that dislodged the axe before knocking the weapon out of the guard's hands and spinning up in the air. She knelt and knocked his legs out from under him with her hammer before catching the battle axe as it fell. 'Pheobe' got to her feet before the guard to his before roundhouse kicking in the face. The guard went flying off of the platform.

"Get down there!" Demon Ken ordered the guards with him.

The guards ran down the stairs as they obeyed his command.

Down belong, Kate, Kyra, Buffy, Cole, Leo and I were still fighting the guards as ten more guards joined the fight. Buffy swung a backhand punch at his head, but the guard blocked it and shoved her out of the way. The guard she was fighting before punched her with a backhanded fist. She stumbled a little before recovering and ducking his second swing at her head as she did a side kick to his ass, sending him off the platform. Two guards climbed onto the platform before I threw the battle-axe at one of them. I watched as it sliced into his chest and the power that sent him flying off of the platform. Another guard tried to do a wide swing, but I blocked it as I grabbed his arm and sent him somersaulting through the air and off the platform. Another guard attacked as I smashed my elbow into his nose and followed with a full spin and backhanded punch to the head, the guard fell awkwardly. I felt a hit to the face as I was caught unaware and stumbled back. Four more guards surrounded Buffy and me. Buffy snap-kicked one in the face while I side-kicked another. Buffy's kick was followed by a full spinning hook kick to third, which smacked him soundly in the skull. One of the guards punched me in the face hard before making me stagger as I tried to regain my balance a second guard grabbed my neck and yanked my head up. Buffy was in the same position as me and was punched in the stomach as my guards tried, but it didn't hurt me.  

What I didn't know, something was happening with Lily, Andy and Leo.

Down a dimly lit corridor, a group of people ran down it. Behind them were Lily and Jeremy as they rounded a corner. Demon Ken grabbed her behind before punching Jeremy. Demon Ken pulled out a large knife before holding it to her neck. She didn't struggle as he led her back to the ledge. While Jeremy got back up and slowly followed.

Back at the platform...

The guards continued to punch Buffy but did not succeed with me due to the protection spells on my stomach. Buffy and I finally retaliated as we swung our arms out, backhanded punched two of them, and high kicked the third, knocking him down. We swung our arms out in a wide arc and hit the first two with one, which knocked them down. A fourth guard roundhouse kicked Buffy in the stomach before trying with me, but I pretended he hit me and staggered. Two guards latched onto our arms before trying to throw us but managed to reverse the move and threw them off the platform instead. Another two guards dived for our legs, but we lept and pulled our legs into a tuck jump over them. We ran off of the platform and grabbed two poles. They bent with our weight as we rode it down to the floor below before starting the run again with Kate, Kyra, Leo, and Cole behind us. We didn't get very far when we saw Demon Ken returning with a knife against Lily's neck. We stopped in our tracks. The guards that chased us caught up and grabbed us by the arms.

"One of you fights... and you all die!" Demon Ken yelled as he let Lily go and pushed her to the side. "That... was not... permitted." He intently stared down at us. 

"Yeah, but it was fun," Buffy voiced.

"You've got guts. I think I'd like to slice you open and play with them," Demon Ken responded with a smile and held up his knife before addressing everyone in the area. "Let everyone know!"

Lily cowered behind him as Demon Ken had forgotten that she was there.

" This is the price of rebellio..." Demon Ken started to say before he was pushed from behind by Lily.

Demon Ken screamed as he fell from the high ledge to the floor below. The guards holding us were just watched as he hit the floor bottom with a thud. We gave Lily a surprised look and quickly used the advantage and backhanded our captors in the face and the groin before shoving our weight and making them fall backwards onto a group of barrels. One of the guards punched high, but I blocked it. I grabbed his arm and flipped him over and onto a pile of burlap sacks. I jumped onto the pile and stepped across my fallen attacker as he tried to grab me but missed. I jumped high into the air and grabbed hold of a heavy chain hanging from above. I hand-over-hand it as quickly as possible until I reached the ledge. Leo and Cole had orbed/shimmered onto with Kate, Kyra, and Buffy were with Lily and Jeremy. We ran through the door and on our way to find the others, and they were struggling with a heavy iron gate.

"They'll be coming," Lily voiced as Buffy, Jeremy, Cole, and Andy crouched down to take hold of the gate. 

I could tell they braced themselves for a heavy lift.

"Okay... this... works... the abs... and... the glutes," Buffy grunted as she and the boys began to raise the gate.

As she got it high enough, Lily waved for the others to crawl through. Everyone scrambled to the other side before the rest of us followed through. 

"Buffy, you're going to feel that for a week!" Kate voiced as Jeremy followed, then Cole, and then Andy.

Buffy started to hold the gate over her head before squeezing her head and shoulder between the two bars to get to the other side. Suddenly, Demon Ken appeared behind her, bloodied from his fall and tackled her to the floor. His club went flying as the gate fell behind him. He screamed in pain as he arched up. Buffy rolled to a stop out of his reach before getting to her hands and knees. She looked over at him as he continued to scream in pain. We saw that the gate had landed on his calves and pinned him down. Andy, Kyra and Jeremy went through the portal to help the others through slime. Kate, Leo and Cole were helping the others from this side. I headed over to get in line as Buffy got to her feet and picked up Ken's club. 

"You've ruined ... You..." Demon Ken started to say as she approached him.

"Hey, Ken, wanna see my impression of Gandhi?" Buffy voiced before wielding the club back and bringing it down onto his head, crushing his skull.

"Gandhi?" Lily questioned as she went over to Buffy and looked a bit squeamish.

"Well, you know, if he was really pissed off," I heard Buffy say as Cole pulled me up and out of the slime pool.

On the other side of the slime pool, the homeless people walked out of the room after coming out. Lily, Cole and I helped Buffy out of the black pool. Buffy yanked her legs from the slim before rolling onto the floor. We stood up and looked at the black slime pool.

"What do we do about..." Lily started to ask as she pointed to the portal.

With a flash of light, the pool's tiles mysteriously matched itself along its edges. 

"What just happened?" Kate asked about what we had just seen.

"I don't know, but I believe it's time to go home and pack," Andy voiced.

"Why?" Lily asked.

"It's time for us to return to Sunnydale," Jeremy responded.

"Lily, you can stay with us tonight," Kate expressed. 

"If you don't mind the noise of packing," Leo replied.

"Okay," Lily returned as we headed out of the Family Home.

Twenty minutes later, we were back at the apartments and were to our apartments. 

"I texted Elijah and told him to start packing Persephone's things," Cole voiced.

"Okay," I replied as we got to our floor.

We walked over to the door and Cole opened it. We walked in and saw Elijah putting things in boxes.

"Good evening," Elijah whispered.

"Hey," Cole and I whispered back.

"Let's get packing," I voiced before kissing Elijah and Cole on their cheeks before heading to the bathroom.

I walked into the bathroom and started the shower. I undressed and quickly showered before getting out and wrapping myself in my housecoat. I blow-dried my hair as I combed it before heading into the bedroom to get into my PJs. I grabbed a clean pair of PJs before changing into them. I went to the walk-in closet and grabbed my spelled suitcases and travel bags before opening them. I started packing all of my clothes into the bags before starting on my spell jewelry boxes and spelled accessories boxes. 

"Here are a couple of boxes," Cole said as he came into the room.

"Thanks," I whispered.

I walked over to the shoe boxes and placed them in the box. I packed my laptop/charger into my travel bag before packing my work stuff into the boxes. We continued packing the boxes before we brushed our teeth. I headed into the nursery to check on Persephone. I walked over to the crib and saw Persephone asleep in the crib.

"Night, my love and sweet dreams. We're going home tomorrow," I whispered before heading out of the nursery.

I walked back into the room to see Elijah and Cole closing the luggage bags and travel bags before pulling back the covers.

"Night, Aurora," Elijah said as I got into the middle of the bed.

"Night," I whispered as I turned on my side and closed my eyes.

"Night, Elijah. Night, Aurora," Cole said as he joined me.

"Night, Cole," Elijah said as he joined us.

Ten minutes later, I could feel the sleep taking over me.

Time Skip

I woke to noise in the kitchen as the sun streamed into the room. I got up and dressed before opening the travel bag and one of the luggage bags. I walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth before grabbing my spelled make-up case and toiletries bag. I headed back into the bedroom and placed my toiletries bag into my travel bag before placing my spelled makeup case into my luggage and closing both bags. I grabbed my luggage bags and travel bag before heading out of the bedroom to the living room, kitchen and dining room combo. 

When I walked into the room, I saw everyone having tea, coffee, smoothies and Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. I noticed that Jenna was here instead of being in Sunnydale.

"Morning," I said as I sat my luggage and travel bag next to the rest of the luggage bags and boxes.

"Morning," Everyone replied as I sat down.

"One Banana Berry Smoothie," Elijah said as he handed me a smoothie in a Disney Tumblr. 

"Thank you," I replied as I grabbed a couple of muffins before asking. "So, what's the plan?" 

"Well, first, we're showing Lily her apartment," Kate voiced.

"Then, packing the cars," Jenna told me as she fed Persephone her breakfast.

"Then, we're stopping at Farmer's market on our way out of town before heading back to Sunnydale," Kyra responded.

We continued eating and drinking our breakfast before getting up and walking out of the apartment before heading down the hall.

We walked until Kate stopped at a door and opened it before entering the apartment. We followed them into the studio apartment.

"Let us give you the tour," Buffy voiced.

"Here's the living room, Kitchen, and dining room combo," Kate said as she showed her the living room, kitchen, and dining room combo.

"This is where you'll sleep," Kyra told her as she showed Lily her bedroom.

"And your bathroom," I responded as I showed her the bathroom.

"This concludes our tour," Buffy said as she faced Lily.

"It's really nice," Lily responded as she leaned against the wall.

"All the rent's paid up for the next three weeks," Kate voiced.

"Rent is about $100 every two weeks," Kyra said.

"Everything like water, hydro and cable are covered," I told her.

"Who's the landlord?" Lily asked.

"Elijah and Cole are," I responded.

"I spoke to Mitch this morning at the diner," Buffy said as she pulled out her uniform and I placed mine on the bed. "He said you can start on Thursday." She walked over to the bed before laying her uniform on it. "He's, uh... he's kind of... repulsive, but, uh, he won't you a hard time."

"Um... We'll call and check up on you," Kate voiced as Lily sat down on the bed and placed her hand on Buffy's uniform. 

"I'm not... great," Lily said as she looked at us. "At taking care of myself."

"It gets easier. Takes practice," Kyra told her.

I could tell that Lily was upset as she looked down at Buffy's uniform and the nametag pinned to it.

"Hey..." Lily said as we looked at her before asking. "Can I be 'Anne'?" 

"Of course," Buffy answered as she smiled at Lily.

"Well, here are the keys," Kate said as she handed over the apartment keys.

"Yeah, we have to check everything before we pack the cars," Kyra said.

We all took turns hugging Lily before leaving the room.

 After leaving Lily, we separated and headed back to our apartments to grab our bags and boxes to get them situated in the cars. I walked into my apartment to see Persephone crawling in the living room with no containers or luggage bags waiting.

"Where are the boxes and bags?" I asked Jenna.

"The boys took them to the cars," Jenna said as I knelt to Persephone's level and picked her up.

"How are Willow and the others?" I asked.

"Willow told me you sent a postcard from when we were in Florida," Jenna told me.

"I did that because it didn't feel right, that no one knew if we were okay," I responded as Persephone tried to pull my hair.

"I understand why you did that," Jenna said as the door opened to see Cole.

"Ready to go?" Cole asked.

"Yes," I replied as we headed out the door.

Cole locked up before we headed to the garage.

When we got to the garage, I placed Persephone in her car seat before doing up the straps. 

"We're going on a little ride, miss Persephone," I said before closing the door.

I headed to my side of the car as Buffy got into Jenna's car with Jeremy and Rebekah. I got in before closing the door and doing up my seatbelt. Cole and Elijah got in after Elijah closed the trunk. Elijah started the car, and we were off.

Short Time Skip Later...

After leaving the apartment, we went into an indoor farmer's market. We looked around, bought some things and ate lunch before heading to the cars.

"Last stop, Sunnydale," Cole voiced in a subway manner.

We got into the cars as Persephone slept in her car seat before Elijah started the car. We were off once again.

Another Time Skip later...

Inside the Summers/Forbes/Lockwood/Gibert house, Joyce was trying to get a stuck utensil out of the dishwasher when she heard a knock on the door. Joyce looked up with a startled look. She frowned at the fork she pulled out and put it down before standing up, grabbing a towel and heading for the door as she wiped her hands. Joyce paused in the dining room for a minute before looking towards the door and wondering who might be there. She draped the towel over a chair and slowly went to the door. She opened it and found...

After a long drive, we headed for the door. Buffy knocked as we waited for Aunt Joyce to open it. Minutes later, Aunt Joyce opened the door. We were tired and dishevelled as we stared at Aunt Joyce for a moment. We stepped into her arms and held each other for a long embrace.

T.B.C

Chapter Text

It was night. By the time we had finished unpacking from our bags and boxes. Buffy, Kate, Kyra, Jenna and I had changed from what we were wearing this morning, and Persephone was dressed for the announcement. Everything was ready neat and in place. I could hear Aunt Joyce hammering something in her room.

"Mama will be back soon. Daddy Cole and Daddy Elijah will be here to watch over you until it's time," I whispered to Persephone before kissing her cheek.

Cole shimmered in with Elijah before I handed Persephone over.

"One of us will text you when it's time," I responded as I walked out of the room.

I met with the others as we walked to Aunt Joyce's room. When we got to the room, Aunt Joyce was hammering a nail into the wall by the window.

"Mom?" Buffy said as she stepped into the room.

"Oh!" Aunt Joyce said as she jumped and accidentally slammed the hammer through the drywall before turning around and seeing us. "Girls! Jeremy!"

We cringed as we saw the hole in the wall.

"Um..." Aunt Joyce said as she pulled the hammer out and faced us, smiling while holding the hammer in one hand and a mask with the other.

"Sorry, Aunt Joyce," Kyra voiced.

"No, no. Don't worry about it. I-I guess I got used to all the quiet while all of you were gone," Aunt Joyce responded with a smile before saying. "But it's no problem."

We watched as she looked at the creepy mask before turning around with it. It looked like it was carved from a reddish wood with cutouts for eyes, which looked evil as they were slanted inwards. The mask also had a series of long and pointed teeth with extra long fangs for incisors set into the upper lip, and it had no lower portion. I didn't get a good feeling from it.

"Uh, look!" Aunt Joyce told us as she hung up the mask and turned back towards us. "It's, uh, Nigerian. We got a very exciting shipment in at the Gallery." She glanced around the room. "I, um, thought I'd hang a few pieces in here. It cheers up the room."

"It's angry at the room, Aunt Joyce," I voiced as I looked at the mask in uncertainty before saying. "It wants the room to suffer."

"You have no appreciation of primitive art," Aunt Joyce as she nodded before noticing our jackets in our hands. "You going out? Aurora, what about Persephone?"

"Oh. Um... well, i-if it's okay. I, um... we'd like to find Willow and Xander," Kate responded as she looked down at her jacket.

"And Jenna said, she'll watch Persephone," I lied.

"Will you all be slaying?" Aunt Joyce asked.

"Only if they give us lip," Jeremy responded with a weak smile.

"Uh, can I make you a sandwich or something before you go? You must be starving," Aunt Joyce returned.

"We were un-until that four-course snack you served us after dinner," Buffy voiced.

"Well, then, um..." Aunt Joyce said as she went over to her dresser. "You know, w-why don't I drive you?" She grabbed her keys. "Uh, I mean, they could be anywhere."

"Mom... if you don't want us to go, just say so," Buffy replied.

"No, no," Aunt Joyce returned as she looked down at her keys for a moment. "I-I just want to put this whole thing behind us, get back to normal." She inhaled deeply before saying. "You go. Have a good time."

"Okay," Kate voiced as we smiled at her before giving a nervous wave and headed out of the house.

After we left, we met up with my direwolf Lady, who was watching over the others while we were gone before continuing on our way to find the others. Twenty minutes later, we were heading down an alley before hearing something fall to the ground and break. Buffy and I stopped and looked toward the direction of sound before we headed towards it. When we got to the intersection of the alley, we turned and looked down the adjoining before noticing a man dressed in black walking suspiciously as though he was looking for something. We began to slowly follow but Kate stepped on something that made a noise. The man spun around and swung a stake at us but I threw my arms and cross-blocked the swing before taking the stake from him and creating a counterattack. A moment later, we realized the man was Xander as he stared at us in surprise. 

"Didn't anyone ever warn you about playing with pointy sticks?" I questioned as I lowered the stake before saying. "It's all fun and games before somebody loses an eye." I shook the stake at him.

"You shouldn't sneak up on people like that!" Xander exclaimed as he tried to catch his breath.

He stared at us. I could tell he was trying to convince himself, that we were here in front of him.

"Jeez, Rory, Buff!" Xander voiced. 

Suddenly, a vampire smashed through a crate leaning against a wall before lunging at us. Buffy and Xander fell to the ground as they were knocked. Xander tried to grab the vampire as he got up but the vampire grabbed Xander instead and pulled him up. He drew his fist back for a punch before I jumped in the hit the vampire in the stomach with a powerful sidekick, making him fall back into a pile of trashcans and bags. 

"Come in, Nighthawk! Everything okay?" We heard Cordelia from a walkie-talkie that was on Xander's belt.

"Nighthawk?" Kate questioned as we were taken back.

"Oooh!" Kyra said as the back got back to his feet and tackled Xander into the chain link fence.

Buffy tried to stake him, but he sidestepped her and shoved her into the fence as well. Xander tried to come up behind him, but the vampire swung out with a backhanded fist to Xander's face before knocking him down. Buffy got to her feet and blocked two punches from the vampire before she high-clocked his third hit and got a hand under his chin to hold him at bay. He pushed Buffy back into the fence as they struggled before we noticed Willow, Cordelia and Oz running towards us. Willow and Cordelia grabbed the vampire by the arms as we stared in shock and dragged him off of Buffy. Buffy caught her breath as we looked in astonishment. The vampire growled as Oz tried to move in with a stake. The vampire sent Oz flying to the ground next to Xander before shoving Cordelia away. I quickly moved and caught her so she wouldn't get hurt. 

"Oh, hey, Aurora," Cordelia said as she realized it was me before the vampire threw Willow aside towards Xander and Oz.

I pushed her aside towards Kate, Kyra and Jeremy before wielding my stake as the vampire came toward us. I plunged my fire element stake into the vampire before he burst into flames and then into ashes. 

"Hey, guys," I said as I turned toward my friends and family before giving them a wave and weak smile. 

They stared at us as Xander's head dropped back to the pavement. 

After the fight with the vampire, Xander wanted us to go see Giles. So we headed to Giles's apartment. I texted Cole and the others to meet us there. We met in front of the apartment building before heading to the door. We stood at his door as we were unsure of what his feelings would be about us leaving without a word.

"You know, we... maybe it's too late. Maybe we should just come back tomorrow," Buffy voiced.

None of us made a move to go as Buffy and I looked at the door and back at the others.

"What if he's mad?" Buffy asked.

"Mad? Just because you ran away and abandon your posts, your friends, and your mom and made him lay awake every night worrying about you?" Xander questioned.

"Giles knew Aurora and some of us were going on vacation. We just couldn't come back just yet," Elijah voiced before Xander turned towards Oz and Willow.

"Maybe we should wait out here," Xander suggested to Oz and Willow.

Kate and Kyra gave him a look before I turned to face the door and grabbed the knocker as I tapped it a few times. Moments later, Giles opened the door in shock to see us there. 

"Check it out. The Watcher is back on the clock," Xander voiced as Giles slipped on his glasses before saying. "And just when you were thinking career change, maybe a becoming a looker or a-a seer."

"Thank you, Xander," Giles responded before he turned towards us. "Welcome Buffy, Aurora."

We smiled at him as he opened the fully and stepped back fully to let us in.

After we walked in, we sat down. We were all spread out throughout the living room as we talked. 

"We got in a few hours ago, but we wanted to see aunt Joyce first and tell her the news," Kate voiced.

Persephone was playing with a toy in my lap. I hid her shirt's meaning with a small jacket. 

"Yes. Yes, of course," Giles stated. "How, how did you find her?"

"Well, we pretty much remembered the address," Buffy responded.

I knew Giles didn't mean the address but didn't say anything.

"Ah, eh, I mean, uh..." Giles said as the teakettle went off before asking. "How are things between you?" Giles noticed the whistling of the kettle. "Ah. Excuse me." He headed into the kitchen. 

"Hey, so, you're not wanted for murder anymore," Oz told us.

"Good. That was such a drag," Buffy stated.

"So where were you all? I know Elijah said Aurora and some of you were on vacation for a bit. What about you, Buff? Did you go to Belgium?" Xander asked.

"Well, we went to Orlando, Florida," Kyra answered.

"Why would I go to Belgium?" Buffy asked as she gave Xander an odd look.

"I think the relevant question is why wouldn't you? Belgium!" Xander responded with a huge smile and giggled.

Buffy joined him in laughing before we decided to give them our news. 

"Okay, we continue. We have announcements," Kate voiced.

"What is it?" Willow asked.

"Well," I said as I turned Persephone around and took off her coat.

They got a good look at Persephone's onesie and it said, 'Big Sister & Cousin.'

"OMG, are you seriously pregnant again? Who's pregnant as well?" Willow asked.

"Well, yes, I'm pregnant again. It seems I only get pregnant by my soulmates," I voiced.

"I'm pregnant," Kate announced.

"I'm too," Kyra replied.

"Me as well," Rebekah responded.

"We have all the necessary protections like last time. So I will still be able to patrol," I told them.

"Anyway, that's enough about us. What about you, Xander? What's up with you?" Kyra asked.

"Oh, you know, same old, same old," Xander answered as he put his arm around Cordelia.

I could tell Giles was enjoying hearing us again after so many months away from here.

"Hardly," Cordelia replied as she pushed Xander's arm off.

"Okay, I lied, a whole lot is new," Xander voiced.

"Well, that's good, isn't it? New is good," Rebekah responded.

"Oh, yeah, absolutely, except for the obvious. It's not too much..." Xander started to say.

"Yeah, 'cause you weren't at the hotel," Cordelia interrupted as Giles came into the room with a serving tray.

"Cordelia's parents dragged her onto a luxury vacation," Xander voiced.

"I feel for you," Rebekah returned.

"Here we are then," Giles voiced as he laid the tray on the coffee table. "Cheer us up." He sat down in his chair and took the teapot.

Each of us took a cookie from the tray before Cole took Persephone from me.

"So were you, like living in a box, or what?" Cordelia questioned.

"Well, it's a long story," Buffy responded.

"So skip the heartwarming stuff about kindly old people and saving the farm and get right to the dirty," Xander voiced.

"Perhaps they could use a little time to adjust before we grill them on their summer activities," Giles said as he poured several cups of tea.

"What he said," Kyra replied.

"Fair enough. In fact, you can leave the slaying to us while you settle in. We got you covered," Xander told us.

"We noticed. You guys seem down the slayage, all tricked out with your walkies and everything," I responded.

"Yeah, but the outfits suck. This whole Rambo thing is so over. I'm thinking more sporty like Hilfiger maybe," Cordelia complained.

"Still, we were getting good. We dusted... nine out of ten," Willow said as she nodded.

"Six out of ten," Oz whispered to Willow.

"Six out of ten," Willow corrected herself.

"Whatever, we were kicking a little undead booty," Xander responded.

"Well, thank you for the offer, but I think we just wanna get back to our normal routine. You know, school, slaying..." I voiced.

"In fact, we're jonesing for a little brainless fun," Buffy replied before turning to Xander. "What are you doing tomorrow?"

"Oh, I would, but, uh," Xander stuttered as he reached his hands around Cordelia's arm. "I'm kind of tied up." He smiled.

"You wish," Cordelia returned as she pushed him away.

Xander sat back on the couch, embarrassed by Cordelia's action.

"Will?" Buffy asked.

"Um, tomorrow I..." Willow started to say.

"Oh, come on. Friends don't let friends browse alone," Buffy interrupted.

"Okay. I had some schoolwork, but... I can change my plans," Willow returned.

"As for school, Buffy, girls, Jeremy, uh, you know you'll have to talk to Principal Snyder before..." Giles said as he raised his cup.

"On it. Aunt Joyce made an appointment with his ugliness," Kyra voiced.

"We'll be back at school the day after tomorrow, due to we were suspensed after exams," Kate voiced.

"But Buffy will need Aunt Joyce's help with breaking him," I responded.

Giles looked up from his tea before giving Buffy an unsure grin.

"Well, it's getting late. We need to get Persephone to sleep," I added as we got up.

I hugged the others before hugging Willow and whispered into her ear, "Thank you for the secret of my postcard. I really did miss you."

We headed out the door and headed home.

When we got home, I headed up to the bathroom. Cole started the bath water as I got Persephone undressed.

"You get ready the bottle ready. I'll do the bath time," Cole said as he took Persephone from me and undid her diaper before I headed out of the bathroom.

I headed downstairs and made a bottle of formula before warming it up and heading back upstairs. I walked into the nursery and picked out a sleeper for bed. 

"Here is one clean baby," Cole voiced as he handed me Persephone.

I laid Persephone down on the changing table before putting a clean diaper on her and changed her into a clean sleeper. I picked her up and grabbed the warm bottle of formula before sitting on the chair next to the small bookcase. I started feeding her the bottle as I hummed 'once upon a dream.' Sometime later, Persephone was done, and I burped her before laying her down in the crib. I gave Persephone her soother and laid her blanket down before turning on the musical nightlight and baby monitor. I kissed her goodnight. Cole kissed her goodnight before Elijah came into the room and kissed her goodnight.

"Good night, my love. May the angels watch over you," I whispered before closing the door softly.

"So, goodnight, see you tomorrow," Elijah said before kissing me goodnight.

"Night," I replied.

"Night," Cole voiced before kissing me.

All of sudden, I got a flash of a boy who looked like someone from our past life as well as an older boy and a young girl.

"What is it?" Elijah asked.

"What did you see?" Cole questioned. 

"We're getting some new members of our group," I voiced. "We'll see tomorrow."

"So nothing, scary?" Elijah asked.

"Nothing yet, but never say never," I answered.

"We'll see you tomorrow," Cole said before grabbing Elijah's arm and shimmering out of the hall.

I headed into my room and turned on the baby monitor on my side, and saw Persephone dowsing off to sleep. I walked over to my desk before turning on my laptop. I started working on getting the pictures from vacation ready to print for tomorrow. An hour later, I got into my PJs and went to sleep.

Time Skip

It was morning as I heard Persephone's cries through the baby monitor. I got up and headed into the nursery next door. 

"Mamamama," Persephone said as she cried.

"Mama's here," I said as I walked over to her and picked her out of the crib and laid her down on the changing table.

I undid her sleeper and got her out of it before changing her diaper. 

"Here," Kate said as she came into the room. "Go get ready. I'll change her."

"Thank you," I replied before kissing Persephone's forehead. "Mama will be right back."

I headed out of the nursery and back into my room to change for the meeting. I pulled out what I wanted to wear and laid it on my bed. I got undressed before putting on clean undergarments. I grabbed my tights before pulling them on. I slipped my skirt over the top of the navy tights before putting on my blue top and adding accessories. After that, I brushed my hair before slipping on my shoes. I grabbed the bag that matched before putting my phone, keys, college map & other things I needed. I put my dirty laundry into my laundry basket before heading out of my room.

I headed downstairs into the kitchen dining room combo. I saw Aunt Joyce, Jenna, Kyra and Jeremy making breakfast as Kate fed Persephone in her highchair.

"Morning," I said.

"Morning," They all said.

"Hey, Kate. Thank you for changing Persephone into her clothes while I changed," I thanked her.

"You're welcome. I also fed her a bottle of formula, and now she's eating some baby cereal," Kate voiced.

"Thank you, anyway," I replied.

"Here are your pancakes," Buffy said as she laid the plate down.

"Your smoothie," Kyra said as she came over with her smoothie cup.

"Thank you," I responded as I took my smoothie cup.

I started eating my breakfast. We talked about this morning's meeting before we headed out to the cars. Persephone was in her car seat as I sat next to her, Buffy was behind me with Jeremy, and Aunt Joyce was driving with Kyra in the passenger. Kate was with Jenna in her car. We were off to our meeting.

When we got to the school, we were sent right into Snyder's office. We sat as Snyder looked at us with intent.

"For Ms. Sommers-Gilbert, Ms. Lockwood, Ms. Forbes and Mr. Gilbert are excepted to be back in two days. But for your daughter, absolutely not. Under no circumstances," Snyder voiced.

"But you can't keep her out of school. You don't have the right," Aunt Joyce responded.

"I have not only the right but also a nearly physical sensation of pleasure at the thought of keeping her out of school," Snyder returned before saying. "I'd describe myself as tingly." 

"Buffy was cleared of all those charges," Jenna told him.

"Yes. And while she may live up to the not-a-murderer requirement for enrollment. She is a troublemaker, destructive to school property and the occasional student. And her grade point average is enough to..." Snyder said as his eyes glazed over for a moment. "I'm sorry. Another tingle moment." He smugly smiled.

I silently used my ice powers and froze his desk drawers shut before Aunt Joyce yelled with anger in her voice.

"I don't see how you can be so cavalier about a young girl's entire future!" Aunt Joyce yelled with controlled anger in her voice.

"I'm quite sure that a girl with the talents and abilities of Buffy will land on her feed. In fact," Snyder said as he leaned towards Buffy. "I noticed as I came in this morning that Hot Dog on a Stick was hiring." We glared at him with anger. "You will look so cute in that hat."

"Let's go, Mom," Buffy said as we got up and headed to the door with the stroller.

"This isn't over," Aunt Joyce said as she stood up and faced the Snyder before saying. "If I have to, I'll go all the way to the Mayor." 

"Wouldn't that be interesting," We heard Snyder say as we headed out of his office.

When we got out of Snyder's office, Kate, Kyra, Jeremy and I were heading to where we could pick up a hard copy of our class schedules. As we walked into the room, Kyra, Jeremy and I walked into some people, and their papers fell to the floor.

"I'm so sorry," Kyra, Jeremy and I said as we bent down to help them.

"It's okay," the boys and girl said as we looked at each other, we saw the people from our past lives.

"Hi, I'm Sam Winchester," Sam 'Samuel' said. "I believe I've been looking for you."

"I'm Aurora," I replied.

"I know," Sam said before asking. "Where are Liam, Elijah and Cole?"

"Elijah is working, Cole should be here soon and Liam is away," I voiced.

We headed over to the desk.

"Hi, my name is Aurora Sommers-Gilbert. I need a hard copy of my class schedule," I said.

"Of course," the sectary said as she printed out my schedule before handing it to me. "Here."

"Thank you," I replied before heading out of the room with the others.

"Aurora, this is Dean Winchester, one of my soulmates and this is Joanne Harvelle, the last of Jeremy's soulmates," Kyra introduced the new members of our group.

"It's nice to meet you," I responded as my phone went off.

Where are you? You still have to pick up your college schedules.- Buffy

"I'm sorry, we have to go. We don't start school yet," I added.

"Yeah, we have to pick up our college schedule," Kate voiced.

"We'll see you later," Jeremy said as he kissed Jo's cheek before we left them.

When we got back to the cars, Jenna, Aunt Joyce, Persephone, and Buffy were waiting.

"Sorry, we bumped into some people and helped them up their papers," Kyra voiced as we got into the cars.

We were off to our next destination.

A Slight Time Skip

After we left high school, we went to the university for our online schedules before stopping at Espresso Pump & Cafe. Aunt Joyce and Jenna stopped the cars at the curb. Aunt Joyce and Buffy talked about school.

"Don't worry about school, honey. If we can't you back into Sunnydale, maybe we can swing private school," Aunt Joyce told Buffy.

"Private school? Do you mean jackets and kilts? You want me to get field hockey knees?" Buffy questioned.

"It's not that bad," Aunt Joyce responded with a smile.

"What about homeschooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore," Buffy voiced.

"We'll work something out. Okay?" Aunt Joyce returned as we got out of the car. 

I got the stroller and diaper bag out before getting Persephone settled into the stroller.

"Say hi to Willow?" Aunt Joyce said as she leaned in and kissed Buffy goodbye before saying. "Have fun girls."

We nodded as Buffy got out of the car. Buffy closed the door before Aunt Joyce and Jenna drove off.

"Let's get some lunch, shall we as we wait?" Kate voiced as we headed into the cafe.

Thirty minutes later, we were sitting down and eating as I fed Persephone her lunch as we talked about meeting more of our soulmates and what we were doing when we got home.

"Aurora, what are you doing tonight?" Kate asked.

"I'm going to print out the pictures from the magic Disney experience app that we bought and put them in the album," I replied as I wiped Persephone's face and hands with a wipe. "There all clean."

"Mamamama," Persephone said with a smile.

"Now time for a nap," I replied as I pulled out her soother and she took it from me.

I laid her blanket on her and set the soundless spell on.

"I wonder where Willow is?" Buffy asked as I looked at my cell phone.

"We'll wait for another hour and if she doesn't show up. We'll head home," Kate voiced.

We waited another hour to see if Willow would arrive, but she didn't. I'm sure she was busy. We headed back to the house. When we got home, a woman was coming out of the house. We looked at her in confusion.

"Oh, my word! Oh, you must be Buffy, Aurora, Kate, Kyra, Jeremy and little Persephone!" the woman said as she smiled and came down the stairs. "Look at you. Aren't you all just a picture?"

"Thank you," Jeremy said with an unsure voice.

"Oh, I'm Pat," Pat introduced herself and reached out her hand.

Each of us shook her hand, but when she got to me. I got a vision flash of the mask that hung in Aunt Joyce's room and the dead rising.

"From your mom/aunt's book club. I'm sure she mentioned me," Pat continued.

"Actually..." Buffy started to say.

"I, um, I sort of took it upon myself to look after you all were," Pat said as she rolled her eyes. "...you know, off and away or what you all, and..."

We looked aside as we couldn't believe the conversation.

 "Well, between, uh," Pat inhaled before exhaling. "...your situation and reading 'Deep End of the Ocean', she was, uh, she was just a wreck. You can imagine."

We gave her a thin smile before a weak nod.

"Anyway, I'm off. W-we're making empanadas in my Spanish class tonight," Pat said as she giggled before saying. "You go be with your mom/aunts. You two need to re-bond." She smiled before heading on her way.

We headed up the stairs with the stroller before heading inside. I picked a sleeping Persephone up and out of her stroller before heading upstairs and placing her into the crib. I turned on her baby monitor before heading into my room and turning on mine. I grabbed the monitor before heading downstairs.

When I got downstairs, I joined the others in the kitchen and dining room combo. We saw Aunt Joyce taking some notes from a book.

"Pat wishes us some quality time," Buffy voiced as she and Kate went to the cupboards.

"Oh. I met in a..." Aunt Joyce started to say.

"Book club," Kate responded as they grabbed glasses out of the cupboard.

"Yeah," Aunt Joyce returned.

"Got it," Jeremy replied.

"Oh, uh, before I forget, uh, Willow just called," Aunt Joyce said as she looked up.

"Where was she?" Kyra asked.

"She got held up, but she said she tried to call," Jenna answered.

"Was there a message?" I asked as we looked at our cellphones.

Buffy walked over to the fridge and got a pitcher of infused juices out.

"No. But I had a thought. What if I invited Willow, Mr. Giles and everybody over for dinner tomorrow night?" Don't you think that would be nice?" Aunt Joyce asked with a smile.

Buffy sat the pitcher down before pouring the drinks for us out.

"Since I sort of already did, I was hoping for a yes," Aunt Joyce added.

"It'll be fun," Kate said as we looked at Aunt Joyce and gave a smile and nod but Buffy lost her smile after a moment.

"Great. Uh, do me a favour? Run down and get the company plates," Aunt Joyce asked.

"Aunt Joyce, I don't think Willow and everybody are company-plate people. They're normal-plate people," Kate voiced.

"We never have guests for dinner. Please indulge me?" Aunt Joyce responded.

Before any of us could respond, we heard the cry of Persephone through the baby monitor. 

"I'll be right back," I stated.

"I'll make her a bottle," Jenna voiced.

"Thanks, Jenna," I replied as I headed out of the room and upstairs.

After I got upstairs, I headed into the nursery to see Persephone sitting up in the crib. I picked Persephone up and felt that Persephone had a wet diaper. I laid her on the changing table before taking off her pants and getting rid of the dirty diaper. I cleaned her up before putting a clean one on her and putting her pants back on her.

"Time for a yummy bottle," I said as I picked her up and headed back downstairs.

When I got back downstairs, Jenna took Persephone from me before telling me.

"Go help the others find the plates," Jenna told me.

"Okay," I replied as I towards the basement door.

I opened the door before heading down the stairs to the others.

When I got to the bottom of the stairs, I saw Buffy grabbing a step stool before sitting it down in front of an old bookcase full of stuff. She found something and was staring at it.
