Best of the Day

Hey there, everyone; I bring you the next chapter for your reading pleasure. 

Happy  Reading     (:

BAKUGO'S POV

"Disney! Disney! Disney! Disney!" The three older kids were jumping on the bed, chanting for us to leave for the day. They didn't even care about Masao's birthday yesterday or the cake. They were more excited knowing that we were going to be at Disney World for a little while than they were about him turning four.

Watching him blow out his candles yesterday hit me like a ton of bricks. I just wish they would stop growing, and I could keep them this small forever. They're getting so big, and it kills me every day. I love them, and I want the absolute best for them.

"The next person to jump is getting put in the time-out chair!" Midoriya yelled after having told them half a dozen times to stop jumping on the bed. "And they won't be going to Disney. They can stay here with me."

That was a bullshit threat, but all of the kids got off the bed quickly, not wanting to risk it. "If any of you misbehave again, there will be consequences. Do you all understand?" I hate having to be hard on them, but we shouldn't have to tell them something more than once, twice at the most. I get when they don't pick up their toys immediately, but jumping on the bed? They should have stopped the first time they were told.

After they all mumbled some form of 'yes,' we walked into the living room of our suite, and everyone put on their shoes. While I put the stroller together, Midoriya applied sunscreen to all of the kids before tossing it back into the bag. After that, I got Kimi settled in her stroller while he put their watches on them.

"Masao, do you want to get in the stroller until we get there?" He shook his head. "It's going to be a long walk, bud. Don't you want your legs to be rested when we get there?"

"I get out when we dere?"

"You can get out when we're there. You might want to wait until we're through the long line, though." He sighed before stepping onto the step and sitting in the front seat. I attached his wrist cuff just in case. I wasn't going to attach the other kids' until we got there if I did at all. It would depend on how crowded everything was.

As we finally exited the door, I double-checked the diaper bag to ensure we had everything. On top of our usual stuff, we had a poncho for everyone in case it rained, a portable fan, a portable charger, water bottles, a first aid kit, and a few other odds and ends. It was a struggle to fit it all, but we somehow managed. We have an empty bag down there, too, since we know we're going to bring a few things back with us.

When we left the hotel, we were quick to make it outside and to the shuttle bus. We're here for a week, but we do have reservations and everything pretty much every day, which we can't afford to miss. We don't have anything until lunch, but I want to stop and get the kids their autograph books and ears.

While planning this, I had a coworker tell me to buy them cheap ears and an autograph book online because everything was outrageously expensive here. However, I didn't have it in me to do that. I want them to have the full experience. I know some will say I spoil my kids, and I'll admit that I do. I want them to have everything, and most importantly, I want them to have these memories for the rest of their lives. I know Masao and Kimi won't remember this when they get older. Kenzo will remember some, but Hanako will probably remember most of it.

I want them to look back on their childhood and find it filled with happiness. Even if they don't remember all of it, I will.

It took me a while to understand this, but I deserve these memories, too. I deserve to remember the look on their faces when they meet their favorite character and when they get their favorite souvenirs. I deserve these memories just as much as they do, even if people argue that this trip was pointless because it cost thousands of dollars for the younger ones not to remember it.
