A celebration to last throughout the years

"Thanks again, Meredith, for letting us use Zola's old decorations." April turned to the woman beside her and thanked her. They were both in the living room with the rest of the partygoers, their eyes on the birthday girl. April was taking pictures as her daughter opened her birthday gifts and Meredith sat beside her with a garbage bag, trying to pick up wrapping paper as it was thrown to the floor. The whole room was covered in pink. Pink boas were strewn across the floor with loose pink feathers scattered around, pink party cups, plates and napkins littered the tables, pink streamers hung from the ceiling, pink tiaras on everyone's heads, much to the boys dismay. Michael sat with Bailey and a couple of the dads at the dining room table, frowns displayed on their face and pink boas draped across their shoulders. Jackson joked that their living room looked like a Pepto Bismol Palace. Fit perfectly for their Little Pink Princess.

"No problem! They were just sitting around in a box in the attic. I was just lucky to get rid of them. I mean, what were we going to do with princess party decorations?" Meredith responded to April as they kneeled in front of the couch where their daughters, who were decked out in pink tutus and tiaras, sat as Harriet continued to tear through her . Harriet squealed loudly, causing both of them to redirect their attention back to the girls. Harriet was waving around papers and a little headband and April knew immediately what they were.

"Excuse me," she gave Meredith an apologetic look, "I need to have a word with my husband." April stood up from her crouched position on the ground as soon as Harriet had opened her last gift. She left Meredith's side and made her way to the kitchen where Jackson was standing around the island bar with some of the guys from the hospital.

"Uh oh. Here comes the big bad wife," Alex joked when he spotted April's upset face, "We better go." He patted Jackson on the shoulder for good luck as he exited the room, even though he wasn't sure why April was mad, but he knew that Jackson would need the support.

"April," Jackson started to defend himself, "I know what you are going to say-"

"Jackson! We talked about it and we said we didn't have time for something this big right now! I can't believe you went behind my back!" She crossed her arms and glared at him. Honestly, she wasn't upset with the gift he had given their daughter, she was upset that he went against what they had agreed on together.

"April, look at her! She's so happy!" He pointed over towards the couch where Harriet was jumping and dancing in excitement, "Plus, I'm the head of the freaking board, we can make time!"

April sighed and glanced over her shoulder at the little girl. A grin spread across the little girl's face as she talked enthusiastically to Zola and Sophia about her father's surprise. The scene made a small grin form on her face as well, and she couldn't deny that she was slightly excited herself, never having actually been to this specific destination when she was younger, but always longed to go. She couldn't let Jackson have the satisfaction of knowing that though.

"April, we agreed on taking a family trip! You can't get mad at me!" He justified his actions and the amazing gift he had surprised his family with. It wasn't just a trip for his daughter, it was for the whole family. That was something Jackson had always longed for, so it was a win-win for the both of them. He, of course, knew from his in-laws that April wanted to go to Disney as bad as his daughter did. Growing up, Jackson's family didn't take family vacations, unless it was a fancy gala or something associated with The Harper Avery Foundation, but that wasn't anything fun. He didn't want that for his kids. He wanted memorable moments with his family so they could look back on them and be proud of their upbringing. Not the disappointing, pressuring, boring, nanny-filled one he had.

"I meant to the zoo or something!" she huffed in exasperation, "Not Disney World!"

"Well, she's been talking about it for months! She's having a princess themed party for crying out loud!"

"Jackson, she just turned six!"

"So? Why not?"

She quirked her eyebrow at him in astonishment, "Why not? How about the fact that we both have jobs and patients to take care of! How about the fact that it's in Florida!" He seemed to have forgotten that they had jobs, responsibilities and a life that they couldn't just drop.

"I'm the head of the board!" He argued back. Unbeknownst to her, he already ran it past the board before booking the trip. He wanted it to be a surprise for her as well, and it definitely was, but her reaction was not the one he had been hoping for.

"So? We can't use that as an excuse every time or people will think we are slacking!"

Jackson chuckled softly at her statement, "Babe, trust me. No one thinks you are slacking." He put his hands on her shoulders to steady her, because she looked like she was ready to blow, even though he knew she wasn't actually that mad, "You run that ER practically single handedly and you're the only person who basically never takes vacation. Everyone agreed that you need this." He rubbed her shoulders with his thumb, hoping all of this would butter her up enough that she couldn't refuse.

She sighed and finally gave in to him, "Fine."

Harriet ran over to them, interrupting their conversation. Her tiara was now replaced by her new Princess Minnie Mouse headband, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, mommy and daddy!" She shouted as she launched herself into her father's outstretched arms and she looped her arms around his neck, pulling him tightly to her in appreciation.

"Anything for my little princess!" He winked at his wife while still holding onto his daughter, causing April rolled her eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes," He told her, "besides, if Hattie is the princess, what does that make Mommy, baby girl?" He pulled her back so they were looking at each other.

"The Queen!" she giggled and shook her head at him, "Silly, daddy!"

"Of course," He nodded his head in agreement before he shifted his eyes back to April, "And, you know what most queens are in disney movies, right, Apes?"

"No, what?"

"Evil!"

"Hey!" She smacked his shoulder and Harriet giggled at her parents antics.

"Kidding!"

"Daddy, did you get me a pink magic band?" Harriet butted in, slightly curious for their trip, but also wanting the attention back to her, since it was her birthday.

"Of course I did, sweetheart!" He placed her on her feet and opened one of the kitchen drawers, revealing a box full of five different colored magic bands. Each one was engraved with the name of the family member it belonged to.

"Yes!" she squealed as she took her pink one from the box and wrapped it around her wrist. She ran back into the living room to show everyone her new accessory, whipping it around to let everyone see.

April smiled at her as she watched her daughter's face light up once more, then she turned back to her husband, "So when do we leave?"

"Oh yeah, about that… Our flight leaves tomorrow at 9am."

"Seriously Jackson!" Her eyes widen at the realization that he probably hadn't done any packing and she was going to have to do it all tonight. She suddenly felt overwhelmed and needed this party to end soon so she could get ready. Her mind was already racing while she created a mental checklist of all the things they needed to take, and all the reservations they probably needed to make. She had little faith that Jackson actually knew the amount of planning a family vacation involved.

Jackson only grinned sheepishly at her and shrugged his shoulders in apology, "Sorry."

"There - there is so much to do!"

He smirked at her freak out, "Don't worry, babe, I took care of it all. Tickets, reservations, hotel, all done. Amelia helped me pack for you and the kids, so everything is ready to go. You don't think I'm that stupid, do you?"

"I don't think you want me to answer that question right now."


I really hope you liked Hattie's sixth birthday party! I can totally envision Jackson splurging and taking his family to Disney! Plus, April would totally love it too! I hope you enjoy this fun little world I created as much I love adding to it! Sorry if there are mistakes, oops!
