I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.

Tara's Point of View-

We stood in the hotel room after laying Xavier down to take his nap, my mom sat onto the edge of the bed and started pulling her laptop out considering there wasn't much else to do.

"Why don't we go by the pool and dip our feet in?" Alex asked.

"Sounds good, mom we'll be back." I said smirking as we made sure we had a room key before we headed out of the room down to the empty pool where we took our socks and shoes off before rolling our pant legs up where we dipped our legs in. "Please don't push me in this time."

"I won't if you don't push me in." Alex said smirking.

"Deal…" I said smiling.

"When was the last time you took a family vacation?" Alex asked.

"Never…I never had the time nor money to take one…this was a very nice surprise…" I said smirking glancing over to him seeing him look down at his feet in the pool and was kicking them back and forth.

"You think Xavier is having fun?" Alex asked.

"He is having the most fun…you can tell by the big smile across his face." I said.

"So, I won him over?" Alex asked.

"You didn't have to win him over…he likes you Alex, probably more than me sometimes…" I joked as he gave me this look, "I'm serious Alex, he loves it when you come around and you didn't even have to bring him to Disney World and he would have had a blast hanging with you…you never have to win him over, he's 4 years old not a teenager." I said.

"Yeah, but I just want him to like me."

"Which he does…why do you think he doesn't?"

"I don't know…I love you, and I think I worry that Xavier nor your mom have adopted me into the family or like me."

"They have, the moment they met you it was instant love." I said smiling.

"So they truly like me?"

"Yes, you never had to do any of this and they would have continued liking you…" I said feeling bad that he felt like he had to do all of this in a way to get my sons love or my mom's love.

"Well good…"

"You should be more worried about me loving you, you'll grow on them." I said smirking bumping into him.

"I already got you to love me…if you didn't, you wouldn't be wearing that bracelet as much as you are." Alex said smirking as he wrapped his arm around me as I leant into his embrace resting my head on his shoulder. "So, I was thinking after the New Year, I will help you begin looking at schools for Xavier."

"If you want…you can be my plus one when scoping them out." I said.

"It'll be a date then…we can go share a juice box and play with some Lego's."

"I used to love Lego's when I was a kid…"

"You used to make the tall buildings or the cities." Alex said.

"Yes, that is all you could really build with those dang things, who could seriously build the things that were in the commercials…those had to be fake…" I said.

"Especially those that were in the Star Wars type Lego commercials. Much less do I think we had enough patience as a kid to make all those, we always would go to our parents and be like 'mom or dad can you build this?' And they could never do it either."

"I swear it was digitally inserted in…I have yet been able to build anything like that with Lego's."

"You have Lego's at your house?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, I bought Xavier some for his birthday last year that was the 'dinosaur' type where they showed in the commercial that you can build dinosaurs with it and I have yet been able to build one."

"We will build one, with the power of you, myself, and Xavier, it could be done."

"And my mom."

"Your mom?" Alex asked.

"Did I not tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"My mom is moving in with me." I said.

"Is that a good or bad thing?"

"Good…it means that I will have a live-in babysitter that will help with Xavier and my mom will probably threaten me to go out with you more often."

"Oh, then it is definitely better." Alex said smirking as we sat there chatting until my stomach started grumbling from being hungry. We got up heading back to the hotel room seeing Xavier just getting up from his nap, Xavier got to his feet running and jumping off the bed into Alex's embrace and luckily Alex caught him and spun my son around a tad before setting him back down. "You hungry? We can order some room service." Alex said.

"Do they have peanut butter and jelly?" Xavier asked.

"Maybe, let's check." Alex said as they went to the table pulling Xavier onto his lap as they opened the menu that the hotel had flipping through it hearing Xavier reading a lot of the items, I was always proud of my son in whatever he did and he always gave 110% when he wanted to learn something and doing the things he learns to get better at them.

"I didn't see any peanut butter and jelly." Xavier said looking up to Alex from the spot on his lap.

"Me neither, why don't we head to the store and buy some things to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" Alex asked.

"May we?" Xavier asked.

"You sure?" I asked.

"Yeah, we can use it for now and lunch for tomorrow." Alex said smirking.

"Sounds good to me." My mom said as Xavier got excited as he climbed off Alex's lap going to pull his shoes back on from us taking it off earlier when he went to nap proudly tying his shoes like he was taught as we grabbed the things we needed to head to the store. We decided to take my mom's car since it will be a better fit for everyone than his car, we loaded in and Alex sat in the back seat with my son willingly, it was great watching Alex in the backseat playing dinosaurs with my son. "Where is the nearest store to here?" My mom asked as she turned down a street going in one direction.

"So you just turn a random direction? Where is your GPS?" I asked pulling her glove box open seeing it.

"That's a safe spot." Alex said from the back seat before he put the dinosaurs mouth over my son's arm playfully making a biting sound as he glanced up to make eye contact with me when I looked back there seeing a smirk coming to his mouth as I plugged it in and played with the gadget finding the nearest store telling my mom the directions on how to get to the store in which we climbed out heading into the store where we bought snacks and stuff to make sandwiches along with silverware and plates to use, we carried the bags back to the car and Xavier was the proudest carrying the bag that contained the bread only so we won't have to worry about him dropping the bag that held the glass jelly jar. We put the bags in the trunk and climbed into our seats before we drove back to the hotel loading the stuff back into the hotel room where we made sandwiches for us to eat along with chips to go with the sandwiches that we had made watching the Disney channel that was playing a Phineas and Ferb marathon, and I didn't understand why everyone loved it but yet I was chuckling. I sat on the bed next to Alex with my pillow behind me to rest back against the pillow instead of the hard headboard, Alex slid his arm around me resting it on my shoulder after he had finished eating his sandwich and was now munching on his chips glancing over at him smirking and felt a tiny blush come to my face as I hoped he didn't notice when I saw his hand reach over snatching a chip off my plate and I followed the hand looking to him as he now chewed the chip. "What?" He asked stupidly.

"You just stole a chip." I said.

"Did not…" Alex said as he stole another one.

"Uh! Unfair, I'll steal one of yours!" I said reaching over grabbing one of his sticking half of it in my mouth and the other stuck out doing the teasingly "Na-na-na-na-na" type hum until he leant over wrapping his mouth around the half of the chip that stuck out but our lips met in a somewhat kiss, it was what resembled the Lady and the Trampmovie with the spaghetti. The chip broke and he leant back chewing on his half of the chip now, and he smirked proudly and cockily.

"May we go back to Disney World?" Xavier asked as he stood next to our bed looking at Alex and I.

"Sure buddy, we'll make it way before the fireworks." Alex said.
