Author's Note: Okay this is a super short chapter. Disney week gets a snapshot view of their park time, and a much more intimate view of some grown up alone time. The next chapter will probably be our last or maybe next to last. It depends on what the characters decide to do when I write it. At any rate, I hope you enjoy the rest off the family vacationmoon. A big thanks to my beta AgoodWitch for helping me clean this up and sorry for it taking so long.

Chapter 24

The rest of our honeymoon week in the Keys went as one might suspect. We spent some family time, but much more alone time. It was the best of both worlds and I loved it! When the week ended, we made one last visit to the beach before packing up and heading up the Florida Keys highway 1 which was 113 miles of bridges broken up by tiny stints of relatively small islands. Once we hit the mainland, we made our way straight for Orlando.

The ride felt like an eternity before we were finally parking and making our way to our hotel room. The adults were all wiped, but of course, the second we got on the property, the kids were wired. We had two rooms and the first night, we gave mom the room with the king size bed to rest and recover while we took the kids to the pool and to eat supper before crashing in the room with the two queen size beds. This was the first time that it really hit the kids and I how much things had changed because I shared a bed with my husband while they shared the other. Historically, each adult would share with a kid, and usually Ellie was sharing with me. She looked a little sad as I tucked her in next to EJ, but she didn't complain. I kissed her head and stroked her hair until she fell asleep and then climbed in next to Emmett, curling up to his side with a sigh. He kissed the top of my head and rubbed my bicep.

"It'll be okay. It's still new."

I nodded against his chest. "I know, but it's still hard in a strange way."

"It's an adjustment. The first of many."

I sighed again thinking of when we got back home. We had one more week of bubble land before the real reality of the transitions to come hit full force.

I eventually fell asleep against Emmett's chest. Sometime in the middle of the night, a little body climbed into bed behind me. I shifted closer to Emmett who grunted before looking to see the issue. I thought he might make her go back to the other bed, but instead, he leaned over me and lifted her to lay between us. We both rolled on our side and smiled over her sleeping head. We soon settled back on our pillows.

The next morning I was awoken by the squeal of young voices and the feeling of the bed shifting beneath me. Emmett laughed on the other side of the bed as he bounced along with Ellie.

"Wake up, Mommy! It's time to go see Mickey!" He yelled before flipping Ellie over his shoulder and carrying her to the other bed where he tossed her in the middle of the mattress. "You two get your clothes on. I'm going into the bathroom to change and give you two privacy."

He leaned down to kiss my temple before tossing his clothes over his shoulder and disappearing into the bathroom whistling a tune. Mom joined us for breakfast after we were all dressed and we ventured out as a family into the "happiest place on Earth." Day one was the Magic Kingdom and it was insane. The heat was sweltering. The crowds were crazy. The cost for anything extra was astronomical. And the kids had the time of their lives. It was so fun watching them marvel at it all. We rode everything we possibly could before we caught the firework show at the end of the night. It was beautiful.

Day two was divide and conquer. Emmett had scheduled Ellie and I appointments at the Princess salon where we got made up like princesses. Meanwhile, he and EJ braved the Islands of Adventure in the morning. We all met up to check out Epcot in the afternoon.

Day three we took an out of park excursion to check out the Harry Potter rides at Universal Studios. They added Diagon Alley and had the Hogwarts Express running between it and Hogsmeade. It was definitely my favorite of the entire trip. That night, Mom was kind enough to give Emmett and I a night in the other room alone after three nights sharing a room with the kids. After a week of pretty much unfettered access to each other, three nights had felt like an eternity. Mom took the kids back to the park to see the fireworks again while Emmett and I settled in for some alone time.

Our room had a private Jacuzzi tub, so while I got settled in, Emmett filled the tub with warm water and started up the jets. He helped me climb in and then settled me across his lap as he kissed me gently.

"I know it's been a crazy few days," he whispered against my lips, "but it has been so much better than I had hoped."

I smiled and nibbled his bottom lip. "You did an amazing job, baby. Thank you."

"Mmmm," he hummed, nibbling my bottom lip as his hands slid around my waist and helped me straddle his lap. "I have missed your body though. God you feel so good."

I whimpered as he shifted me against his already hard member while bending down to capture a nipple between his lips. I was wound so tight, I couldn't wait another minute. The next time he shifted me, I aligned myself just right and sunk down on him, earning a delicious vibration on my nipple from his moan. We quickly found a rhythm that had me right there, when he stopped me, much to my frustration. He chuckled against my lips as he moved me away from himself a bit.

"Now we don't want to the party to be over already, do we Mrs. McCarty?"

I whimpered. He kissed me gently. "Would it help if I promised to make it worth it?" He hummed in my ear.

I grabbed him and kissed him hard before panting, "Maybe, but you better make it good."

His eyes sparkled at the challenge. "Come here," he muttered as he moved behind me and led me to one side of the tub. He stood behind me, one hand kneading my breast while the other trailed south to tease me there. He nibbled my earlobe as he bent me down, tapping the back of my knee with his and then positioning me to kneel on the seat with my hands braced on the edge of the tub.

He nodded toward the mirror on the opposite wall. "Watch," he whispered before he kissed down my back and massaged my thighs before pulling them apart and positioning me right where he wanted me. My heart raced as I watched his hands roam.

I gasped louder when he stretched to hit a button on the control panel and a new higher setting started up on the jets, blasting me in the most delicious spot. His hands roamed as he leaned over my shoulder and smiled at my reflection. "Look at how beautiful you are." He positioned himself behind me and gripped my hips, holding me in the jet flow as he entered me.

I cried out and threw my head back, but his mouth nibbled my ear again. "No baby. Keep your eyes open. Look at us."

I gaped at the reflection of our bodies moving together, water sloshing around us making a mess. His hands cupped my breasts as he bit into my shoulder ever so slightly and I exploded. My body writhed in the mirror as Emmett's reflection kept its eyes locked on mine. Suddenly he tensed, the muscles in his shoulders and neck tensed into tight cords as he stilled with his mouth open in a delicious groan.

My body couldn't take it anymore. I collapsed on the side of the tub. Emmett melted over me, cradling me under his body without squashing me. Eventually, he started layering my shoulder and upper back in gentle kisses. He left me for a moment to shut off the tub and start the draining process and then grab a towel. He came back to wrap me from behind and then lift me out of the tub and carry me to the bed. He kissed my forehead before moving down to actively towel off my body and hair. Once I was halfway dry, he shifted me to lift the covers and tucked me in. I was almost out when I finally felt him slide in behind me, his still naked body spooning me from behind. He looped his arm over my waist and snuggled close, burrowing his nose in my hair and I didn't know anything else until a few hours later when his roaming hands woke me again for a quieter second round.

Persistent knocking just after dawn roused us from bed for Day 4 of Disney mania. Day 5 and the morning of day 6, we visited our favorite parts of the parks before our late night flight out of Orlando and back home to our new reality. I was equal parts excited and scared, but at the same time, I knew everything would be okay in the end. The transition wasn't likely to be smooth, but eventually we would all find equilibrium.

We dropped mom off on our way home from the airport and returned to my house in the wee hours of the morning. EJ barely woke up enough to haul himself into bed. Ellie had to be carried in by Emmett. As soon as they were tucked and the baggage had been brought in from the car and left in a pile in the living room, we both stripped and climbed between the inviting sheets of what was now our bed. I sighed and nestled against Emmett's chest and within seconds I was out as well.
