Everlasting

Everly's POV
Dad wakes us all up super early for a family meeting. I slowly walk downstairs with my blanket and find almost everyone in the dining room.

"What is going on?" I groan.

"Everly, have a seat." Ari says.

"You can sit with me, Ev." Teagal says, tapping the chair next to his.

"Thanks buddy." I sit down.

"Does anyone want coffee?" Matt asks.

"Just bring in the crate of iced coffees." Dad tells him.

"What's happening?" I ask.

"You'll find out in a minute. Don't panic." Dad says, kissing my hair.

"Where are the babies?" Jake asks.

"We left them to sleep." Ari says.

"How considerate." I roll my eyes.

Matt walks in and hands me an iced coffee.

"Thanks. Where's Carrie? And mom?" I ask.

"Liz! This is against my rights, you know! I could sue." Carrie rants as mom drags her into the dining room.

"You can't sue me." Mom laughs.

"Then I'll make a nasty YouTube video about you." Carrie smirks.

"No you won't. Sit." Mom points to an empty chair.

"I'm seated." Carrie says sitting down.

"Okay, everyone listen up." Mom says standing at the head of the table.

"You're not gonna bring out your clipboard, are you?" I ask.

"Nope." Mom says.

"She's got a whiteboard." Dad jokes.

"Yes I do." Mom says, picking up a whiteboard and pen.

"Oh dear god." Dad sighs.

"Is this still the same announcement we were discussing? Because I'm starting to think you've gone rogue with this." Ari says.

"Yeah, I don't even really know what you're doing now, Lizard." Matt says.

"Oh my god, are you preggers again?" Carrie asks mom.

"No, Carrie." Mom smiles.

"Then what are we here for?" I ask.

"We're taking you to Disney World!" Mom tells us.

"Oh my god!" I scream.

"When?!" Carrie asks.

"In about an hour." Dad says.

"An hour?" Teagal laughs.

"We're going to see Mickey!" Jake squeals.

"Mickey Mouse!" Taylor grins.

"We're going for five days, okay. So pack lightly." Mom says.

"Why do they need to pack lightly? We're taking the jet." Ariana says.

"No way!" I gasp.

"It'll save us a hell of a lot of security checks and it's just easier with the little ones. And Carrie." Ariana shrugs.

"It was one time at the airport! And it was a joke." Carrie rolls her eyes.

"It was pretty funny." I laugh.

"Emptying sherbet packets into my handbag and yelling 'She's a crackhead' is not funny." Mom glares at Carrie.

"Oh please. Everyone on Twitter thought it was hilarious." Carrie hugs mom.
