Family Vacation, Chapter 3

February 2021

The kids loved their trip to NASA. Grace loved all her science classes because Steve always made being a science nerd seem so interesting. She found the whole space center fascinating. Jack and Jesse were equally fascinated because what kid didn't at some time want to be an astronaut. They didn't remember the years when the U.S.A. was without much of a space program.

Mom and Dad had a fun gambling cruise. Mom described it later to the family. "Well, we had to go through the metal detectors like at the airport. Because so many senior citizens had joint replacements, probably 80% of the passengers had to be scanned by hand. A band played until the ship was far enough out to sea so that the casino opened. There was one couple dancing; she had a walker and he was on oxygen. It was like an episode of 'The Twilight Zone'."

Dad had a great afternoon playing Blackjack. He came away with $500 in winnings in his pocket and insisted on paying for dinner. Dad enjoyed the break from all things Disney and the crowds but he missed his grandkids. Dad loved all the grandkids, but Jack and now Jesse were the bonus he never expected. He had a very soft spot for both of them. He knew how hard it was to raise children, and he couldn't imagine trying to raise a baby without his wife.

Dad could only imagine the courage it took for Steve and Danny to bring Jack home from the hospital. He always found it difficult to quiet his babies when they were fussy, and he was a mess when they were sick. He knew that Danny had a special touch with babies; he was blown away watching Steve with baby Jack. Steve never became frustrated when Jack was fussy; he calmly talked to Jack and rubbed his head. When that didn't work, Steve would strip them enough so Jack, wearing only a diaper, was resting skin-to-skin on Steve's chest. It never failed to calm Jack.

Now Steve and Danny had another son, Jesse, to love. They helped Jesse through those early days after his parents' deaths and incorporated him into their loving family. Dad remembered how reticent Jesse was back then when Jesse participated in a Skype session. It was difficult to coax more than a few words out of him, and he had such a haunted look in his eyes. Now Jesse was a veritable chatterbox with a twinkle in his eye.

It was Jesse who gave a detailed report on their day when Danny and his family picked them up at the dock. By popular decision, they went back to Orlando for dinner. Steve directed Danny to a nice restaurant down the street from Downtown Disney. There was a nice selection of steaks, seafood, and other grilled meats offered on the menu. The boys split a steak from the adult menu. Danny and his dad ordered surf and turf. Grace had grilled fish, Mom ordered fillet mignon, and Steve had the seafood variety plate. Steve and Danny tasted from each other's plate and offered the boys some of the different fare. It was a wonderful meal with a lot of teasing and laughter.

They had a character breakfast at the resort first thing the next morning. Then they returned to Epcot to visit the remaining pavilions to get their passports stamped. They had lunch at the Kraft pavilion and enjoyed the other attractions. Their day off from the parks refreshed them enough that the day wasn't so exhausting. They had time for a dip in the pool late in the afternoon before going to dinner at the Rainforest Café at Downtown Disney.

The family visited Animal Kingdom on Thursday. They went on the safari attraction first because they were warned that it would have a long line later in the day. As they were on their way to the next attraction, Steve noticed the gorilla sitting up on grassy hill; he had his back to the walkway and was making a familiar motion.

Danny saw it too and came up to comment in Steve's ear, "It looks like the gorillas are getting it on. Give you any ideas for later babe?" Standing a few feet away, one of the park's attendants was talking frantically into her walkie-talkie. "The gorillas are copulating."

Steve glanced around to see where the boys and Grace were. From the smirk on Grace's face, Steve knew that she saw the action. There was no doubt what happened when a few seconds later, the female gorilla scampered away. The male turned around to give the crowd a satisfied look.

Mom and Dad also saw the gorillas. Dad wasn't surprised. He had friends report seeing the rhinos and hippos mating during their safari ride. He supposed that there wasn't much else to do all day.

After lunch, the family attended 'The Lion King' show. It was Mom's favorite. There were acrobats and animals; the finale included a performance of 'The Circle of Life'. As she looked around her, she saw the circle of life in her own family. She and Dad raised Danny, only to watch his heart break when his marriage failed and Rachel moved with Grace to Hawaii. That's when Danny met Steve, who had endured his own tragedies in the deaths of his parents. Together, they forged a new family with Grace spending at least half of her time at their home. Steve and Danny added Jack to the family with the help of a surrogate, and Jesse came to the family after his parents died. There was so much happiness in spite of what they all had endured.

The day ended late in the afternoon back at Uno's. The boys wanted pizza, and Uno's menu offered a variety of other items to entice the adults. Danny couldn't resist the deep dish pizza, and shared a pepperoni and Italian sausage pizza with his sons. Steve knew that he would be running everyday next week to make up for it, but he ordered the Uno's special pizza anyway. Dad agreed to split one with him. The ladies ordered salads and their own thin crust pizza for their meal. There were two boxes of leftovers that probably wouldn't survive the next day. The boys would eat pizza three meals a day if possible.

Their last day at Disney was back at the Magic Kingdom. They had lunch at Cinderella's castle with many of the Disney characters in attendance. It's always kind of sad to come to the last day of vacation, although most of the grownups were growing a little weary of the long days at the parks. The memories would stay with them for a lifetime. It was worth all the blisters, the sore feet, the sore knees, etc.

Later that evening after dinner, everyone lounged in the living room of the villa. As Mom's insistence, the men were doing a little laundry before packing. The boys were looking over their pile of souvenirs. Steve and Danny had been assigning Jack and Jesse extra chores so they would have their own budget at Disney. Steve and Danny bought them the usual ball caps and t-shirts, but the boys were expected to buy anything else. They had an interesting assortment of gadgets, maps, and bags.

Steve and the family had an early morning flight; it was simply easier to get through security early in the morning. Steve also knew that traveling early when trying to make a connecting flight was a good practice; if the early flight was cancelled they had an opportunity to make it on a later flight. Mom and Dad had an early afternoon flight.

When the dryer buzzed, Steve and Danny went to finish packing. It only took a few minutes; Steve had a lot of experience packing and was an expert. Grace was already packed and ready to go. The boys took a shower and got ready for bed. It took a couple of extra chapters to settle the boys down for bed. Nana and Poppa did the reading. They knew that they would miss their grandsons and granddaughter very much next week.

The adults, including Grace, sat in the living room for a final drink. Grace had a virgin drink but it was nice to sit at the grownup table. Everyone agreed that it was a wonderful vacation. There had been no major glitches and no arguments.

Steve and Danny retired to their room after saying goodbye to Mom and Dad. The boys said their goodbyes too. Everyone agreed that it would be too much to cope with in the morning with the rush of getting to the airport. Danny had one last request. He wanted to make love to Steve again as the fireworks were going off just like their first night at the resort.

Steve thought it was a great way to end their vacation. He knew that Danny was a little down because Mom and Dad were going back to Jersey tomorrow. He considered it part of his husbandly duties to cheer Danny up. Besides, he loved being naked with Danny.

This vacation meant so much to Danny. It was something he always wanted to do when Grace was young but he never had the money. Then there was so much going on after meeting Steve. Once Jack came, time just flew by. Grace enjoyed the vacation more because she was with her family than because it was Disney World.

Jack and Jesse were the ideal age for the park. They were old enough to enjoy most of the rides. Danny had so many images of the last week permanently installed in his memory. There was that first look when they saw the park, the first time they met Mickey and Donald, and the Flying Dumbo ride. Danny couldn't wait to see all the pictures. He promised to compile the pictures everyone took into one complete photo album. It would take him several nights, but it would also mean that he could relive all the great moments.

Now Danny wanted to show his appreciation to his husband who booked the vacation late last year for the family Christmas present. He helped Steve pull the bed down before walking over to Steve. "Babe, this has been a great week. Let me say thank you properly."

Danny slowly undressed Steve, running his hands over bare skin as he went along. When Steve was naked, Danny pulled Steve down for a torrid kiss. Then his hands were everywhere, lingering on Steve's excellent ass. Then he pushed Steve down on the bed. "Give me a minute to catch up to you babe."

Steve thought that Danny would strip quickly and join him on the bed. Instead Danny took his time, putting on a show for Steve. He slipped off his sneakers and then slowly pulled off his t-shirt. He ran his hands over his chest before folding his shirt and laying it on his bag.

"Let's see, where am I? Oh yeah, I need to get these shorts off. I guess I need to start with my belt." Danny unbuckled the belt and slowly pulled it through the loops before folding it up and placing it on top of his shirt.

Danny walked around the room a little before unbuttoning his shorts. "Oh, I think that my zipper is stuck. Let me see if I can fix it." Danny played with his zipper for a while, pulling it down a little and then back up. Each time, the zipper would go a little lower. Danny was pleased to see that Steve was already rock hard. Finally, the shorts came off and were folded and placed on top of the belt.

Steve was enjoying the show and very pleased with Danny's game. After almost ten years together, Steve was surprised that Danny came up with something new. He wanted to touch Danny or at least try to ease the ache in his erection, but he knew that Danny would make it worth his while if he exercised a little self-control.

Danny turned to Steve one last time. "Well it looks like I'm down to my boxers. These are my lucky boxers. Maybe I should leave them on."

"Trust me Danny; you'll be a lot luckier if you take them off." Steve was running out of patience.

"I trust you Steve. I trusted you years ago to help me raise Grace. I trusted you not to get me killed. I guess that I can trust you enough to drop my drawers." Danny turned around before he pulled his boxers down so that Steve would get a good view of his ass. Finally, he turned around so that Steve could see how aroused he was.

Danny paced the room while he tried to decide his next move. When he saw the desperate look in Steve's eyes, he went with his instincts. He rolled onto the bed next to his husband and pulled him in for a searing kiss. Steve's hands were all over him in an instant, although he never tried to take control from Danny.

Danny finally grabbed Steve's wrists and pulled them over his head. "Keep them up there, will you babe?"

Steve could only nod.

Danny claimed Steve's mouth again before trailing open-mouthed kisses down Steve's body. When he reached his target, he looked up to see that Steve had his eyes closed. "Look at me Steven. Watch me!" When he had Steve's attention, he took Steve into his mouth. He varied his technique, alternating between sucking and licking. Steve came without warning, but Danny took it all.

After Steve recovered, he wanted to reciprocate but Danny wanted to finish this his way. He fished the lube out of the nightstand and spent a lot of time making sure that Steve was ready for him. He entered Steve and kept his strokes slow and deep. His self-control was slipping when Steve pulled him down for a kiss. It was too much for Danny and he came hard.

Steve held Danny as his breath evened. In the weeks and months since he booked the trip, he never thought the he would have such mind-blowing sex at Disney World. Somehow, he never thought that the words 'sex' and 'Disney' belonged in the same sentence. Leave it to Danny to prove him wrong.

It was the perfect way to end their last day of vacation. The men slept soundly, waking only when Steve's watch alarmed. There was the usual flurry of last minute packing. They made it to the airport in plenty of time to turn in the rent car and clear security. Danny bought breakfast for the family before boarding.

The kids were seasoned travelers by now. The trip was long and thankfully uneventful. The family was tired and very glad to see home. They dropped Grace off to visit her mom and Stan, and of course Charlie and Andy came out to see their brothers. Rachel suggested a sleepover for next weekend at their home. She thought that Steve and Danny would enjoy some time alone after a week with the kids and parents.

Monday was rough but Steve and Danny were resigned to being back at work. Grace was grateful that her first class wasn't until 10:00 a.m. Jack and Jesse were excited to get back to school and share details of their trip with their friends. The week went quickly as everyone fell back into their routine. The school year would be over in a few months. Steve and Danny were hoping to make Jesse a full-fledged McGarrett-Williams by then. It was only a formality; Jesse was theirs now, and no one would take him away without a fight.

The story about the gambling cruise is true; my husband and I joined the seniors to get scanned. We did get to see the gorillas mate too. It was a great week.
