Cancer is a bully that beats down people until they're lifeless. Mitch fought hard, though. Six years, he kept his illness at bay, and only his best friend, Kirstie knew. That is until it started fighting harder. He had to tell the world his secret...
Scott planned a honeymoon, that kind of involved Coby and Kirstie. He had everything in order. He arranged everything, and even ordered stuff specifically for the trip. He even managed to get ahold of Mitch's private plane and everything. He arranged medical attention and made sure everything was ready. Kirstie knew about it, but she didn't know the even bigger surprise connected to it. All she knew is when they all met in Scott's room, there was a big surprise planned for Mitch.
"Why did you bring me to this room?" Mitch asked with a giggle, "and why is there Disney stuff all over the room?"

"With Kirstie's help," Scott explained, "I planned a nice little trip to Disneyland to celebrate us getting married. I planned out everything, and I even set up your medical attention, got permission from the hospital, and got your plane to take us. The thing is, though, I kept a part of the surprise from everyone but Coby. He helped me with the second part of the surprise. Kit, read the name on the rolling duffle over there and tell me the name that is on the tag."
"Okay," Kirstie raised an eyebrow, doing as she was told. "No way! You're taking us too?! This is incredible."
"I have plenty planned," Scott explained, "so we'll have family time, but Mitch and I will have our alone time. We will be leaving tonight so we can have a nice little night in our hotel room, along with a week of exploring the wonderful park."
"You are literally the best man I've ever met," Mitch beamed, kissing the blond. "I'm assuming you've already packed."
"I did," Scott nodded. "Also, Mitchie, since you can't do the fast rides, I planned for Kirstie and I to enjoy the fast rides tomorrow and you and Coby have some father/son time. With that being said, Coby's request was to wear a princess costume, which is in his princess duffle. He said that his mommy is a princess, and that he wants to be like her for the day. It's Princess Elena, so maybe see if you can find her for him to meet."
"You're sounding more like his dad," Mitch laughed. "Thank you; really! I didn't think I'd be able to leave Arlington again, but you managed to get me even out of state. God! I am so fucking happy I married you."
"Let's get ready to go," Scott smiled, everyone grabbing their luggage and walking to the escort car, the escort driving them to the airport.

When they arrived at the hotel, Scott checked them all in, grabbing three keys before they headed up to the suite. Scott opened the door, Scott and Mitch unphased due to many trips with Mike and Daniela, but Kirstie and Coby were entranced by the modernly rustic room as they walked into their home for a week. The three adults unpacked and Kirstie changed Coby into his Lion Guard pajamas, changing herself, before they went into their room. Mitch sighed and sat on the couch as they relaxed for a while, grabbing the room service menu. Scott ordered everyone dinner, and the married couple sat on the couch, neither of them losing their smiles.
"I never thought I'd be able to leave Arlington again," Mitch spoke up. "It means so much that I can enjoy the Disney park with my perfectly imperfect husband, my incredible son, and my beautiful best friend, and it's all thanks to you, Scotty. I was so unhappy for so many years. I just faked a smile from the day I was told I have leukemia, all the way to when you officially chose me. You made me smile, genuinely smile, for the first time in almost seven years. And now I'm here in the place where you made one of my many fantasies come true. When we were fourteen, remember?"
"We'll have to try and relived that night sometime this week," Scott winked. "We don't have anything to hide anymore. Now we're free to do whatever the hell we want."
"We should shower and change into pajamas before our food arrives," Mitch bit his lip. "I am sure we can make enough room for the both of us."
"Are you being sexual or romantic?" Scott raised an eyebrow.
"A bit of both," Mitch admitted, "but we only have enough time for an actual shower."
"Damn," Scott teased, the two grabbing a shower and putting on pajamas just in time to answer the door.

"We have your dinner," the man greeted. "I will be be your friend until you leave here. I will be on call if you need anything else. Oh, and I am a huge fan of your books, Mr. Grassi. "
"It's actually Grassi-Hoying now," Mitch showed the worker his ring. "I'll keep my name as is, but know it's really changed now."
"Congratulations!" The worker, whose name Mitch read was Orion. "It is great that you finally found someone. He's a cutie too. Keep that man close."
"I sure will," Mitch smiled, Scott kissing him on the cheek.
"Enjoy your dinner," Orion smiled, leaving after receiving a thank you, along with a hefty tip.
"He seemed nice," Mitch laughed as he sat back down. "Can you prepare everything and get them in here? I feel very dizzy."
"Of course," Scott smiled, going to the bedroom door and opening it.
"Papa!" Coby bounced the minute the door was open. "Mommy told me I am going to have a baby sister."
"Your mommy isn't far enough along to know the gender," Scott attempted to correct the boy.
"I know," Coby smiled, "but my angel friend told me I am going to have a sister. She said that Daddy is going to become an angel and then I'm going to have a baby sister that day. I know I'm having a baby sister. The angel named Connie told me so."
"What did Connie look like?" Scott asked, starting to believe the boy.
"She looks like you but she's a lady like Mommy," Coby continued. "She's my friend and told me that she made herself become an angel because her husband made her very sad. She said she had a son with your name and he was my age. She said that she loves her son very much and says she's proud. She said he's a grownup now."
"Well it looks like you're having a girl," Scott smiled, holding back the tears.
"You believe a three year old?" Kirstie teased, her face dropping when she saw his.
"I believe it when he describes talking to my mother without knowing anything about her," Scott sighed. "Connie... Connie is my mother, Kit. I have never actually said her name out loud. If I didn't believe in angels, I do now."
"Let's eat some dinner," Kirstie smiled sympathetically, changing the subject, before they all gathered around the dining table for their first meal on vacation.
