When Estelle got here she was so cute. I put her long brown hair in two braids and then we left to go to magic kingdom.

We got in and Percy asked her "Hey Stelle, do you wanna get on my shoulders?"

"Yes!" Estelle jumped up and down until Percy crouched down so the little girl could climb onto his shoulders.

Percy chuckled and I smiled at the two siblings, despite the 18 year age gap, the two of them got along just fine.

We first went to the Starbucks that was called Main Street Bakery. I got a pink drink, Percy got a strawberry smoothie, and Estelle got a hot chocolate. After getting our drinks we immediately headed to Splash Mountain because Percy said that we "have to go on it at least 50 times".

While they got in line for the ride, Estelle looked confused and then she walked over to me "Aren't you going to come ride with us?" She looked at me with her big blue eyes.

I smiled at her "I wish I could but I can't go on any rides. But you go and have fun with your brother."

She looked disappointed but just said, "Okay, but I wanna go on a ride with you."

"I do too. Don't worry I will find one that I can go on." I informed her and she smiled before getting in line with Percy.

I did find a ride we could all go on. The ride was a carousel which was fine because I sat on one of the benches while Estelle rode on the horse nearest me. Percy stood with her to make sure she didn't fall off. The second time we went on it though, Estelle sat down on Percy's lap next to me and we all just talked.

When we got to the castle, we had a bystander take a picture of the three of us. When he handed back my phone he told us "What a cute little family. Good luck with the little one when she gets older."

We both smiled at him but I corrected him "Oh thank you, but this is his little sister that we're watching for the day. But we will most definitely keep that in mind."

"Oh of course" he kindly smiled and then walked away.

For a Friday night, Disney wasn't very crowded and we got back to the hotel by 5:30 because everyone was going out to dinner together at 6.

Tonight was the night before Piper got married. Oh my god it's just so exciting, but it's almost like it hasn't sunk in yet. Tonight Piper was going to sleep in my room with me and Percy would go to Piper and Jason's room.

We went to an Italian restaurant for dinner and talked about what we did that day. Leo and Calypso went to the pool. Hazel, Frank, Piper, and Jason went to the magic kingdom also. Grover and Juniper went to animal kingdom. Thalia just hung out around the hotel.

Most of the dinner we just talked until Paul decided to thank us for taking Estelle out today, there was no problem except for the way he said it. "Thank you so much for taking Estelle out today. She had a lot of fun."

"Of course, she's just so sweet," I told them

"And you can always use the practice with a child." Sally pointed out.

My eyes widened and Percy looked cautiously over at Thalia who said nothing but was obviously listening.

"Yeah" I made the word sound longer than it needed to be

"So do you guys have any names yet?" Paul asked us and I was in full on panic mode.

Piper, bless he soul, saved us by acting like it was for her, "Actually yes, but we're not telling just yet. When we get home we'll do a gender and name reveal party."

Paul looked a little confused but continued the conversation "Oh that's great but he sure to call us when you can tell us."

"Of course. And I just want to say thank you for coming. It really means a lot." Jason smiled at them

"Of course, sweetie, we're your family and we wouldn't miss it." Sally said mostly looking at Piper, "Is any of your family coming?"

"No. They don't know that I'm pregnant, getting married, or anything else about my life. I barely talk to my mother and my dad is always too busy and I'm an only child unless you count half siblings that I never see and don't get along with." Piper said

"Oh that's bad, but now we're your family too so if you need anything just call us." Sally looked like she felt bad for her but I knew Piper really wasn't that bothered by it anymore she had learned the lesson if you don't like your family then make your own.

"Thanks" Piper smiled gratefully at her

The rest of the dinner went peacefully and once it was over Piper came back to my room and we talked until we fell asleep that night.
