Curveball

Chapter 3

**Morgan's POV**

I woke up excited to get the day started, today we were going to Hollywood Studios.  In the past it had always been what we considered a half day park, however thanks to Star Wars there was enough to spend a few more hours at least.  You agreed to let your parents sleep in a bit, as you would head over around noon.  Since you were already awake though you decided to go ahead and get breakfast for you all.  Heading over to Captain Cook's you picked up the normal morning goods for you all, coffee, mickey waffles, pancakes, bagel with cream cheese, fruit.   Knowing since there was the microwave in the room, everything could be warmed up whenever they decided to wake up.  Still grateful for your luck to be in such an unbelievable room you eat your breakfast in the hot tub watching as the boats took people from the ticket and transportation center to the Magic Kingdom.  Going back in my room, changing quickly, taking a towel with me I headed outside.  It was slightly chilly in the air, but the hot tub was perfect, smiling to yourself thinking if there was anything more perfect than starting your morning this way you didn't know what it could be.  Glad that you had closed the door behind you, you decided to turn on your Pandora to your Disney & Broadway channel.  It seemed you Pandora was issuing you a challenge, as the first song was, "I Dreamed a Dream", you started to sing along you were getting more comfortable letting people hear you sing but you still preferred when you could sing and not have anyone see you. As per usual you were crying by the end of the song, grateful that you were in the hot tub so that you could mask it by that water.  

You found yourself in a rhythm of singing each song as it came on, until your Mom opened the door as she came out to thank you for getting her coffee, you smiled at her.  "I figured I was up and I know how everyone likes their breakfast.   Plus it helped knowing we have the microwave so that you could easily make it warm.   You looked down at your phone, not realizing how much time had escaped you, getting up to get ready for the day.  After taking a quick shower and drying your hair as much as possible you put on your black and red Kylo Ren/Sith Rey inspired outfit including the Kylo Ren Mickey ears you bought before the trip.  Your dad started teasing you, "This is why your still single, dressing up as characters, watching movies over and over until you have the lines memorized." Rolling your eyes, as it is something you had heard many times since you broke off your engagement from your ex and your father.  They just didn't understand it was something that made you happy, and if they couldn't appreciate it it was their problem not yours. "Well Dad, that's why I do so well in trivia because I remember the details that most people don't. I'm sorry you will never understand, who knows I might find someone this time who appreciates me because I'm following my heart".  With that you turned and walked out the door.  You heard your mom call your Dad an asshole just as the door closed behind you.  You were not going to let him see you cry, as you pulled yourself together quickly.  Today would be a good day, you were finally going to see Galaxy's Edge in person, not just the giant walls that you had seen as they were building when you were last there in 2017. Youtube videos could never do justice to being there and experiencing it with all of your senses.  You wondered if you would see any of the Youtubers you had been watching to get a better idea as to how to prepare yourself, with the proper terms to use while 'on planet'. 

Getting to the bus stop first waiting for your parents to catch up, you couldn't help yourself as you looked around at the happy families, feeling that ping in your stomach again wishing that you were one of them.  Sighing knowing it may never happen.  Even your gynecologist warned you in the last few years that because of your PCOS and your age you were going to have a tougher and tougher chance to have a baby of your own now that you were 36.  They say everyone has a cross or burden to carry with them.  Mine will forever be PCOS, but I did always try my best to keep it positive and be a voice to explain to people what PCOS was.  Even with it being something that 1 in 10 women have it is something not talked about.  I would explain to people at least for me, my symptoms included irregular periods, body/facial hair growth, insulin resistance which caused a constant struggle with weight, plus the ever constant fear of would I ever be able to be pregnant. Hearing my parents approach just as the bus was pulling up, we lined up to get into the bus.  Only 2 other families seemed to be going this way which was fine with you, less people means shorter lines.  You felt that weird feeling coming over you again, doing everything you could to push it aside.
