Author's Note: I mentioned this in my prequel story Evie's Tough Journey, but I'm going to be responding to comments through author notes at the beginning of all of my stories from now on, so here it goes.

Danifan3000: Thank you for enjoying this story and thank you for helping me decide. I went with the zoo because I got a lot of responses to do the zoo, but I am thinking about doing another chapter like this one, but a family one where they all four go to the children's museum. Also I know that Dizzy still hasn't called them her parents yet, but I'm thinking about having her build up to it since she is kinda embarrassed about calling them her parents since she feels a bit weird being not that much younger than them, but I did mention it a bit in this chapter. And I'm planning on having her slip it out during either my next chapter or the chapter after.

Guest: Thank you for helping me decide on where to go. I've decided to do the zoo like I said because I had more people that said the zoo, but I am most likely going to do a chapter where they go to the children's museum because I would really like to do a chapter about that as well and I have a lot of ideas for it.

Anyway thank you to everyone else who reads this story and or follows and favorites it. I'm glad you guys enjoy it and I hope you continue to enjoy this story since like I've mentioned before I'm planning on continuing this for a long time and making it really long as I want to include more of Mal and Dizzy growing up, but I still have a lot of baby milestones/moments that I want to write about. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and I'm sorry for taking a long time to update this, but it's been kinda hard to keep up with all five of my stories since I like to update them all around the same time, but that takes a long time. And I've also been spending a lot of time making edits that go with my stories, but I hope this longer chapter makes up for it and hopefully my next chapter won't take as long to update.

Dizzy just smiled as she looked at Carlos. "Really I can pick where we go!" Dizzy asked Carlos excitedly as she began to jump up and down in excitement. Carlos just laughed at the younger girl as he picked up his baby from the floor as he began to pack up a diaper bag and a stroller for her.

"Yeah of course you can pick. It's my day with you and Mal and Mal is way too young to pick a place besides even if she was old enough to pick a place I would still let you pick since I want you to feel like you're included in this family because I know sometimes it seems like we give Mallory more attention, but that's just because she's a baby and not to mention a preemie so she requires a lot more attention and care than you do, but we love you both the same and you are a big part of our family," Carlos told Dizzy with a smile as he felt bad that it seemed as though Dizzy was left out a lot.

They hadn't meant to exclude Dizzy or give Mal more love than Dizzy, but Mal was a premature 6 month old baby and required a lot more care and attention than Dizzy. Dizzy just smiled as she looked at Carlos who was holding her baby sister.

"I know that I'm a part of the family and I know that you guys love me and Mal the same. You don't have to worry about that. I know that you give Mal more attention since she's a baby and honestly I don't mind. I love having a baby sister and I'm glad that Mallory gets to have the amount of love and care that she needs. However I'm not passing up on the chance to pick where we go because I really want to go to the zoo and see all of the animals! I've always wanted to do that and I think Mal would love it since she seems to really like animals," Dizzy told Carlos happily.

Carlos just laughed as he nodded. "Okay good and yeah that sounds amazing. Come on let's go now before it gets too crowded plus we don't want to be gone all day and the weather is better in the morning than it in the afternoon since it can get really hot in the afternoon," Carlos told Dizzy with a smile as he grabbed the stroller placing Mal in it and grabbing the diaper bag as he walked out the door and Dizzy followed after him locking the door.

When they reached the zoo Dizzy smiled as she unbuckled her seat belt and helped get her baby sister out of her baby car seat wanting to help Carlos since he had to get the stroller and diaper bag out of the car. Dizzy just laughed as she picked up the small baby. "Hey there my little cutie pie. Are you ready to have some fun and see some cool animals," Dizzy told the baby with a smile as she tickled her, making the small baby laugh.

"Alright come on then you, me, and daddy are going to see some cool animals, but don't tell daddy I called him that okay. I think he would be weirded out if he knew that I secretly thought about him like that since he's technically not my dad and he isn't even really that much older than me," Dizzy rambled to the small baby who was looking at her and nodding her head as if she was actually listening to Dizzy, but Dizzy doubt that the baby could actually understand her and she was honestly just rambling to get out some of her thoughts that had been bothering her.

Dizzy's rambling was interrupted by Carlos who had finished getting out the stroller and diaper bag. "Hey Dizzy are you just going to stand by the car playing with the baby or are you going to come with me to see some animals because we can do this if you want, but I heard the zoo is way more enjoyable," Carlos playfully told the younger girl making Dizzy laugh as she walked over to Carlos and placed the small baby into the stroller.

"No I'm coming, come on let's go! I want to see the animals!" Dizzy squealed out as she started to run towards the zoo entrance making Carlos laugh as he pushed the stroller. "Okay Dizzy wait for us!" Carlos screamed out after the younger girl as he began to run with the stroller making Mal giggle in the stroller as she thought it was fun.

When they reached the entrance and caught up with Dizzy, Carlos went to the front desk and paid for them to get in once he finished paying they entered the zoo. "Okay so where should we go first?" Carlos asked Dizzy with a smile making Dizzy squeal excitedly as she looked at the signs for all of the animals.

"Ooh we should go see the pandas first! I heard pandas are adorable! Oh wait no they have penguins I heard penguins are really cool too we should see those first instead! Oh no wait they have otters! And polar bears! Ooh and elephants and giraffes and…" Dizzy's excited rambling was interrupted by Carlos as he was laughing at how excited Dizzy was.

"Okay… Okay… Dizzy. I know there are a lot of really cool animals here that I can't wait to see either since I love animals as well. And we can see as many as you want since we're going to be here for a while, but let's start out with one animal first. How about we start with…" Carlos was interrupted by the small baby who pointed to a picture of a dragon on the map and started to babble making the older two laugh at the adorable baby.

"Well I guess Mal has decided for us. We'll go see the dragons first. Wow I didn't even know they had dragons here, but I guess this is Auradon and they have lots of magical stuff here, so I guess it's not that crazy. Come on let's go see the dragons," Dizzy told Carlos with a smile as they made their way towards the dragon exhibit.

When they reached the dragon exhibit the young baby's eyes went wide in excitement and amazement as she began to babble and reach towards the dragon cage. Carlos just laughed as he looked at his adorable happy baby and picked her up from the stroller bringing her closer to the glass cage. "Wow look at that my little puppy. It's actual dragons," Carlos told his baby in his baby over the top excited baby voice making the small girl giggle as Carlos brought her over to the cage.

As soon as Carlos brought her towards the glass cage the small baby placed her tiny hand on the glass and giggled excitedly as she watched the dragons in amazement. Dizzy just laughed as she looked at her baby sister. She thought the dragons were absolutely amazing as well and she couldn't believe they were actually seeing a real life dragon.

Dizzy just laughed as she ran her fingers through her baby sister's hair. "This is so cool and exciting huh cutie! We get to see a real life dragon! This is honestly the coolest thing I've seen!" Dizzy told the baby excitedly, making the small girl laugh as well. After they spent a few more minutes looking at the dragons and taking plenty of photos and videos for Evie, Carlos decided that they should go look at more animals.

"Okay my little puppy let's go see some other animals now," Carlos told his baby as he tried to drag her away from the dragons, but the baby just started crying as she didn't want to leave the dragons. Carlos sighed as he began to rock her trying to calm her down, but it didn't work.

"Wait let me try! I think I know how to calm her down," Dizzy told the older boy as she picked up the baby from Carlos holding her close to her and pulling out Mal's dragon with the binky attached placing the pacifier in the baby's mouth and the baby stopped crying as she hugged the dragon making Carlos sigh in relief while Dizzy smiled as she managed to calm her baby sister down. "Yes! I did it! I calmed down my baby sister!" Dizzy screamed out happily as she was happy and proud that she managed to calm down her baby sister so easily.

Carlos just laughed as he grabbed his daughter from Dizzy again placing her back into the stroller and then hugging Dizzy. "Yeah you did. You always seem to know how to calm her down. You are an amazing big sister and she loves and trusts you a lot. Now come on let's stop being all sappy and emotional. This is supposed to be a fun day, so let's go have some fun. What animal should we see next? I was thinking about the penguins and polar bears," Carlos told Dizzy making Dizzy laugh as she released herself from the hug.

"Yeah let's go see the penguins next and then the polar bears after and maybe we can see the pandas after that. Then the otters, then the elephants and giraffes, then we can see the lions and the tigers and the hippos! Oh and we absolutely have to see the monkeys! And they have sea lions and cheetahs and prairie dogs! Ooh and…" Dizzy's rambling was stopped when Carlos stopped her again with a laugh as Dizzy had been rambling off random animals again.

"Okay Dizzy you're rambling again. We will be sure to see all of those animals, but for now let's go see the penguins and polar bears since they are in the same area and I really want to see those animals plus I promised Jay I would get a picture and a video of the penguins for him since he really wants to see them," Carlos told Dizzy while laughing at how excited Dizzy was.

Dizzy just laughed as she felt embarrassed for rambling. "Oh my gosh! Carlos I'm so sorry for rambling again! I didn't mean to, but I just got so excited when I saw the picture of all the animals on this map. Come on let's go see the penguins and polar bears," Dizzy told Carlos as she was feeling bad for rambling again.

Carlos just laughed as he pushed the stroller towards the penguins and polar bears. "Dizzy don't worry about it. I know you're excited I'm excited too. You don't have to apologize for rambling. I do it too all the time," Carlos told the younger girl as he was trying to reassure her that she didn't need to be embarrassed for rambling.

When they reached the penguins and polar bears Dizzy got really excited as she ran towards the glass wanting to see the penguins up close and Mal began to babble again as she reached out making Carlos laugh at both of the excited young girls as he unbuckled the stroller again and picked up his baby.

"Aw come here princess let's go see the penguins," Carlos told his baby excitedly as he picked her up and brought her over to the glass cage where Dizzy was laughing and watching the penguins happily.

Carlos laughed when he brought the baby over and the small girl did the same thing that she did with the dragons as she placed her hands on the glass and babbled moving her head from side to side trying to follow the penguins with her head as the penguins were waddling around.

Dizzy laughed when she turned away from the penguins to see the small baby bobbing her head from side to side as she thought the baby looked absolutely adorable and funny. "Aw look at you cutie pie. Are you trying to be like the penguins. You're so silly just like mommy, daddy and Uncle Jay," Dizzy told the baby while tickling her a bit making the happy baby giggle more.

Dizzy was so excited about seeing the penguins and playing with the happy baby that she hadn't realized that she had accidentally called Carlos daddy out loud and Evie mommy, but Carlos had heard it. He wanted to say something to her about it, but he figured that she hadn't meant to say that out loud as she didn't seem to realize she said it.

Carlos and Evie both loved Dizzy like another daughter and they had technically adopted her into their family, but Dizzy had felt too embarrassed to call them her parents since they weren't her biological parents and they weren't even that much older than her. Carlos and Evie both knew that Dizzy felt that way and they had been meaning to have a conversation about it, but they had been so busy lately that they just didn't have time.

Carlos knew that it was time to have that conversation though, but he also knew that it should probably be Evie that talks to her about it since Evie always had a more special bond with Dizzy than he did as Evie had pretty much looked out for Dizzy her whole life. Carlos was brought out of his deep thoughts by Dizzy who started the wave her hand in front of his face as he had been zoning out.

"Hey Carlos come on let's go see the polar bears and the other animals, but we also need to stop and eat lunch too because I'm kinda hungry and I think Mal is too since she stopped laughing and is crying now," Dizzy told the older boy immediately snapping Carlos back into reality as he picked up his crying daughter from Dizzy as Mal had started to cry since she was hungry.

"Aw come here sweetheart. Are you hungry? Come on let's go get you a baba," Carlos told his baby as he went to the diaper bag and filled up a bottle with some formula as he placed the bottle in her mouth and she began to drink from it immediately calming down. Carlos just smiled as he held his daughter and fed her.

"Yeah there you go my little puppy. All better. Okay Dizzy yeah let's go see the polar bears and the other animals and then after that we can eat lunch and go see some more animals then we can check out the gift shop since I kinda want to see what kind of stuff they have in there and I can allow you to get somethings if you want because I'm planning on getting some stuff for Mal," Carlos told Dizzy making Dizzy jump up and down excitedly.

"Really? Yay! Come on let's go now!" Dizzy called out happily as they went to look at the polar bears and the other animals. After they looked at the animals that Dizzy had been most excited to see they decided to stop for lunch where they got pizza in which Dizzy had been really excited about.

When they finished eating they went and looked at some more animals in which Dizzy and Mal had so much fun looking at and Carlos made sure to get plenty of adorable pictures and videos to show Evie since he knew how much his girlfriend loved to see adorable pictures and videos of Mal and Dizzy and he was feeling kinda bad that Evie was missing out on all of this despite how much he was really enjoying his daddy daughter day with Mal and Dizzy.

After they had been looking at animals all day Carlos decided that they should go check out the gift shop and go back to the dorm because he could tell that Mal was getting fussy and Evie was supposed to be done soon and he really missed her and he knew that Mal and Dizzy did too as Dizzy kept bringing up Evie a lot and Mal kept reaching at his phone wallpaper which was a picture of him, Evie, Dizzy, and Mal.

"Okay let's check out the gift shop and then go home because I think Evie is supposed to be home soon and it's getting kinda late," Carlos told Dizzy as she nodded excitedly as they made their way to the gift shop. When they got there Dizzy just squealed as she looked at all of the stuff they had and Mal just started to reach towards a few of the purple stuffed animals making Carlos laugh as he looked at Dizzy.

"Okay meet right back here. Now I'm giving you some money so you can go get some stuff with that, but don't spend more than that and meet right back here when your done because I'm going to go get some stuff for Mal and be careful don't get lost okay. I'm trusting you to pick some stuff out and not get lost or into any trouble since I know that you're almost thirteen," Carlos told Dizzy as he handed her some money making Dizzy squeal and jump up and down excitedly as she took the money.

"Oh my gosh! Yay! I love you so much! You're the best and I promise I'll be safe!" Dizzy screamed out happily as she hugged Carlos and then ran off to go pick out some stuff that she wanted, making Carlos smile and fill with joy as Dizzy had been so excited. He then turned to look at his baby. "Okay sweetie, let's get you some toys," Carlos told the small baby, making her laugh and clap her hands excitedly.

After about twenty minutes they finished buying stuff and they left. When they reached the car as soon as Carlos placed Mal into her baby car seat the small baby clung to her new purple dragon as she fell asleep, making both Dizzy and Carlos smile. When they finally reached their dorm Carlos unbuckled the baby who had woken up as he picked her up and got all the stuff out of the car as they entered the dorm.

As soon as they got back Evie was waiting for them as she had just finished her studying and had come back a few minutes before them. Evie just laughed when Dizzy ran straight over to her and hugged her and Mal reached out for her as she had missed her mommy.

"Aw come here my little poison apple come to mommy. Mommy missed you so much. And I missed you so much too Dizzy. I missed my little girl and I also missed my boyfriend as well," Evie told them all as she held her baby close to her and tickled her making the small girl laugh happily as she was back with her mommy and then she also hugged Dizzy and laughed when Dizzy got really excited.

"Evie! I missed you! The zoo was so much fun though and Mal loved it too! We saw a real life dragon and I think it literally blew Mal's tiny mind. She was so excited," Dizzy screamed out to Evie excitedly as she had missed Evie and she couldn't wait to tell Evie about all of the fun stuff they saw. Evie just smiled as she sat down on the bed and Carlos sat down next to her putting his arm around her.

"Okay Dizzy go ahead and tell me everything and don't leave anything out okay. I want to know literally everything that I missed out on and I think that we need to do another day like this, but this time all together as a family because I feel like I missed so much," Evie told Dizzy with a smile, making Dizzy laugh as she launched into her story about their time at the zoo.

When Dizzy finished Evie smiled as she placed Mal into her crib as the baby had fallen asleep again. "Okay well it sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. I'm honestly sad I missed out on it, but I think that we should go to the children's museum as a family on Saturday. Now it's getting late and we have school in the morning. I think it's bedtime. Dizzy go get ready for bed and we can talk more in the morning," Evie told Dizzy making her groan as she didn't want to sleep yet, but she knew better than to argue with Evie since last time she argued about her bedtime Evie made her wake up extremely early to deal with the baby for a week and Dizzy loved looking after her sister, but she also really enjoyed sleeping in.

"Ugh fine! Good night Evie night Carlos thank you for taking us to the zoo it was so much fun!" Dizzy told the older two as she finished getting ready for bed and then got into her bed to sleep. Once both kids were sleeping Evie smiled as she kissed Carlos. "Thank you for that. They really seemed to enjoy it and I'm glad they got to spend time with you, but let's not do another separation day unless it's like necessary because I really missed my family today," Evie told Carlos as she kissed him and they got into Evie's bed to sleep.

Carlos just laughed as he looked at his girlfriend. "Yeah today was fun and you have yourself a deal because we all really missed you as well. It's honestly not the same without you being there. Now let's go to bed we have school early in the morning and I'm exhausted from the long day at the zoo," Carlos told Evie as he couldn't wait to sleep. Evie just laughed as she kissed him and then rolled over to sleep as well as she had been tired too from her royalty meetings and her long studying.
