SARA POV

I smiled at Blaise as we arrived in the parking lot, trying to smother a laugh when I saw the look on his face.  He had been none to pleased when I informed him we would have to drive to the park like an average muggle.  Not even the Ford F-650 Suv I had rented for him seemed to cheer him up as he made his first, and hopefully last, snide remark of the day, "Some magical place.  We're not even allowed to use real magic"

I took his hand, turning to smile at Deni, Nevi and the girls, "Whose ready for some fun?"  As Deni and Nevi bounced around in thier seats with excitement and the girls babbled the word fun, even Mr. Grouchy pants couldn't help but crack a smile. I got out of the car, unbuckling Brailee and getting her situated into the stroller while Blaise coo'd over Bliss, doing the same.  I smled at Deni, saying, "I tell you, I wish I'd had a dad as great as yours when I was kid. I never got to do stuff like this."   as Blaise pulled him up onto his back for a piggy back ride into the park, I took Nevi hand, playing a game of who could squeeze whose harder.

Blaise just glanced down at me with a forced enthusiasm,  "Lead us to the fun." before he mumbled his true feeling, "If that's possible."  leaving Deni and Nevi giggling about how funny thier Baba was.

We moved as a group into the park, working our way to the packed entrance.  One glance at the disgruntled expression on Blaise's face set me to giggling as I leaned to whisper in Deni's ear, "We shoulda gotten him a grumpy shirt like Marcus." I tossed him a conspirital wink when he laughed.  The boys and I were throughly inpressed by the talking trash can that spouted jokes whenever we stuck something inside.  I swear, Deni and Nevi were occupied with that trashcan for a least 5 mintues, finally agreeing to move on, but only if Blaise agreed to take a picture with the kids in front of it.  He was not amused, which of course made me laugh.

Inside the park, the Disney Classic characters were at thier best, dancing and singing 'Zipideedoda"  I took Brailee and Bliss from the strollers, snuggling them both close as I laughed, dancing with them and singing along with the song.  The sound of the girls giggles combining sounded like a sweet music of it's own, and Bliss captured my heart.  I glanced over at Blaise, watching he and and the boys joking, picking on poor Mickey Mouse, and I knew for all his sour faces, he was loving the chance to spend some quality time with his kids.  When he walked over to take Bliss, the smile on his face said it all, and when his arm wrapped around my waist, I leaned into him, feeling for the first time like maybe I wasn't just a substitute.

We headed to the first ride, Kilamingaro Safari's, and Blaise's "I hate these muggle cars," comment had no where near the level of disgust his earlier remarks had.  He was having fun whether he wanted to or not.  We climbed into the car, Nevi and Deni on one side of Blaise and me on his other, each of us with a beautiful baby girl in our laps,  Blaise played the perfect daddy, pointing out animals to kids, telling them stories, while I made silly animal sounds for the girls.  We went through the bumpy ride, Nevi and Deni giggling every time a bump sent him into his baba, the girls smiling, my little angel yelling 'bump" every time it happened. 

We moved our way from there to Rafiki's animal watch, all of us laughing when Deni remarked that Pocahantus was "Not what real first Nation people are like." and Nevi said, "and she's not half as pretty as mommy"

"Your right," I smiled at Nevi, "Mommy is ten times prettier than that Pocohantas."

I couldn't stop myself from ruffling Deni's hair, telling him, "You sure are a smart kid." knowing Peni was an excellent mother.

Tough to be a Bug proved to be one of the highlights of the day, all of us laughing giggling at the silly creatures and 4-D effects.  When the stink bug let one rip, Deni laughed, "Oh, Baba, you let one rip."  as Nevi pugged his nose with a giggle.

Being as silly as the rest of us, Blaise played along, trying to point a sneaky finger my way, "It wasn't me it was her."  I rolled my eyes, as the three of them laughed together.  Blaise used to his wand to quickly clear the stench, whispering to me, "Seriously, this is worse then Weasley Wizzard Wheezes." at this point, I knew better, the remarks were just to save face.  These bee's flying through the air gave us all a quick sting, and Bliss showed the chair her annoyance by shocking it back, bringing a smile to my face.  Brailee was just enthralled, her little hands reaching out to try to catch each new object that passed by.

After the show, we were faced with grumbling tummies, so we headed over to the Rainforest Cafe for lunch.  Heading to the table, we passed under an incediable aquarium archway, that help the girls facinated.  We all stood there for a moment, watching as they swam by, and being the sneaky witch I am, I used my wand to get thier attention and bring them where the girls could see them better. Blaise tossed me a look as the waiter remarked, "Wow, I've never seen them do that before." and I was forced to give him my best, 'it wasn't me' smile.  Deni and Nevi watched the animals, excited when every 10 minutes they seemed to come to life, Elephants raising the trunks, monkey's swinging from tree's, and the sound of the wildlife all around. Blaise took care of the girls, cutting up their nuggets and veggies, making me 'awww' a little inside at the sweet attention he paid them.

The girls fell asleep after lunch, napping in their strollers, and for the first time that day, we put Eleena to use, leaving them with her while we took Deni and Nevi on the Kali River Rapids.  Every splash of water had Nevi, Deni and I laughing and Blaise scowling, which just made us laugh even harder.  When the big water fall came and it was Blaise who ended up under it, my insides began to ache from the force of my laughing.  All of us deciding to add insult to injury,  splashing water on Blaise until he finally gave up and laughed along, soaking wet when we stepped off the raft.  On our way to the Yeti rollercoaster, he pulled us all quietly aside, trying us enough that we were just damp enough for it to feel nice in the heat.

Waiting in line for the coaster was actually a treat since I got to watch Deni, Nevi and Blaise all on their own, Blaise telling them the story of Peni saving him from a yeti in real life, making the growling noises and acting it out.  When his fingers slid into mine, pulling me closer as he told them how much the Yeti stank, I knew all my hard work planning this day had been worth it, and all Blaise's insecurities about needing to measure up to Marcus were groundless.  Blaise had a magic all of his own.

 

When the girls woke up, we took the kids over to the Boneyard to play.  Blaise, Nevi, and Deni took off at once, running to the playground, while I took the girls over the digsite, the three of us sitting in the sand to play.  More times that I can count, I had to stop little hands from trying to taste it or throw it, but for the most part we just had fun crawling around together, digging up the various 'dinosaur' bones throughout.  When Blaise came to steal my girls for a turn down the slide, the boys and I headed over to make music on the xylabone. 

For our last ride in the animal Kingdom, we headed to The DinoSuar, a much scarier ride than I had anticipated.  Brailee rode it with her head tucked into my shouler, While Bliss decided to show the scary dinosaurs who was the boss, sending a shock thier way. "Shit," Blaise cursed under his breath, trying to use his wand inconspiciously to fix it as the boys and I laughed.

We left the park and heading over to the Disney shopping district, splitting up for the first time all day.  I placed a small kiss on Blaise's lips as I shoo'd him away, walking with the girls in to get thier Princess make-overs.

I picked out pretty dresses for both the girls, a gorgeous yellow Belle dress for Bliss and Cinderella for my own little beauty, talking with the shop girls as I looked, one of them  saying "Your girls are just beautiful" she sighed, "And your husband in gorgeous."

 

I blushed, "He's not my husband, we're just friends." I smiled towards Bliss, "This is his daughter.  I'm just helping him do something nice for his kids.  His ex-wife is getting remarried this weekend," i explained, knowing I was babbling, but something about hearing Blaise reffered to as my husband did funny things to my stomach. 

The Salon girl, whose name tag said Kim, smiled at me, "Do you wanna be more than friends?"

I laughed, my mind remembering last night, and knowing maybe friend wasn't the right word for me and Blaise, but also knowing I wasn't going to try explaining to these ladies that I was his girl on the side.  "What sane woman wouldn't?" I responded.

They smiled, bringing out a beautiful sleeping beaty dress, and saying, "You know, we could make you a princess too..."

It didn't take much convincing.  Deep down, I'm just as girly as the next chick and the thought of being a Princess was far too tempting.  For the next two hours, I sat in a chair between the girls, singing songs with them and playing games to keep them occupied while we got the star treatment. Bliss's eyes sparkled with yellow flecks when her pretty Princess Belle dress was on, her hair cute and curled with pretty satin ribbons and a tiara with topaz stones sat atop her head.  Brailee looked precious, and for a moment I wish Reg was here to see how pretty our little girl looked with her dark locks piled in little curls atop her head, her sapphire tiara perched on her head, and her pretty little Cinderalla dress.  The girls looked adorable and I was captivated by thier smiles.  I knew Blaise was going to love it.

"What do you think?" I heard as the chair turned and I got to see my own reflection in the mirror.  My lond dark hair was pulled back, falling in one thick curl over my shoulder, my make-up looking soft and sparkly.  The dress fit every curve of my frame to prefection, mostly because when no one was looking I had used my wand to do some tailoring, and the final touch of the  pink diamond tiara made me  smile. 

"Oh, welcome back Mr. Zabini," I heard Kim say before I turned to give him a smile, hoping he wouldn't laugh to much at the sight of me playing dress-up. "They talked me into." I said, blushing, trying to explain my silly girly moment before he could get a word in. 

His eyes traveled over me before he turned, smiling to Kim and saying "Thank you" as he began to walk my way.  Everything in me longed for that fairy tale moment when Prince Charming pulls the Princess into his arms and they go off to live happily ever after.  No Strings I had to remind myself for what seemed like the 1000th time that day.  He placed his hand gently on my neck, kissing my check softly as he whispered, "You look stunning."  and even though I knew I shouldn't care, I melted inside.

Blaise bent, scooping the girls in his arms, oohhing and awwing over how pretty they looked.  He surprised me, kissing my cheak again as he asked, "Are you looking for a Prince Charming?"

I think I found one, my mind whispered, the problem is he's not mine.  Pushing aside the thought, I smiled, "Do you know any?"

"Maybe the magic of a kiss," he said with puckered lips, "Might surprise you."  I knew he was teasing, and it kinda sucked, cause a big part of me wanted to throw my arms around him and kiss him with everything I had in me until he continued, "Or you could keep on looking." he said, pointing to some poor old guy with really bad fashion sense, "What do you think will happen if you kiss him?"

Laughing, I pushed him away, "In the fairy tales they turn frogs into princes all the time."

With a kiss on my cheek, he whispered in my ear, "Ribbit" making my heart speed up once more. 

Not wanting to push this, not wanting to make him uncomfortable with my sudden hopes for something more, I did the only thing I could think of to keep everyone smiling.  I walked across the room, grabbed that old muggle by the collar of his shirt, and kissed him with everything I could muster.  I was rewarded with a smile from Blaise, telling me I was the prettiest princess he had ever seen.

After I changed out my Princess clothes, we went shopping and Ellena headed back to the room.  Blaise was buying the kids everything they looked at, acting like a kid himself.  I pulled Deni and Nevi aside, taking them to pick out charms and trinkets for a bracelet for thier mom, my little way of thanking Peni for letting me share her family for the day.  As we pulled out Belle, Cinderalla, and Sleeping beauty, Deni talked about how he wanted to tell his mom about us getting all dressed up.  I dug up some scary pirates and skulls with cross bones telling him, "It won't be complete with out you and Nevi on it. 

 "Nevi hunted for fish and other sea creatures, looking to Blaise saying, "Mommy will love these, right Baba?"  I watched as Blaise resisted the urge to roll his eyes, just giving Nevi a smile.

I hugged them both saying, "Mommies love stuff like this.  And she can wear it at the wedding.  It can be her something new."  Both boys faces lite up at the thought and I sneaked in Disney pins they could give Marcus as well. 

After a day full of fun, Blaise and I loaded the kids in the car, watching as they dropped to sleep before we even had our seat belts buckled.  With a smile, I hexed the car, setting it to drive itself as I pulled a blanket from the back seat. "You've been such a good boy today," I said to Blaise with a wink as I moved closer, "I think you deserve a reward." and reward him I did, all the way back to the hotel, swallowing his juices as he moaned his release, pulling back with a smile, knowing Blaise had just found at least one muggle thing he could approve of.

Blaise had gone with Deni and Nevi into thier room, planning to lay with them as they fell asleep, so I lay in the bed with Brailee and Bliss, waiting so Baba could come rock his other baby to sleep.  Both girls were restless, tired from the days events and beginning to get a little fussy.  I thought for a second before grabbing my wand, filling the room with twinkling stars to amuse them.  I curled my arms around them both, snuggling them close to me and pressing a kiss in thier sweet baby curls, singing softly,

Twinkle Twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are

Up above the World so high

Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle Twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are

The girls were both smiling, thier hands reaching for the stars I has conjured.  I had to snuggle Brailee closer to keep her from crawling away to get them.  I was completely charmed when I saw Bliss's eye's flashing with the stars.  I began singing the verse again, when I looked up and saw Blaise heading into the room, bottles in hand.  I smiled as I finished the song, reaching for Brailee's bottle as he slid Bliss from my arm, tucking her close to him as she turned her nose up at her bottle. 

My little Angel curled up, eyes already beginning to blink closed as soon as she got her bottle in her mouth, and I heard Blaise say, "Your pretty spectacular, you know that?"

I couldn't help the blush that spread across my cheeks at the words.  I smiled, keeping my eye's on Brailee, hoping he wouldn't see my heart in them, "Your not so bad yourself," I whispered back.

I heard his chuckle and looked up through my lashes to see his smile, "I know."

I laughed at the confidence in his tone, "And soo modest too." I said with a roll of my eyes.

He just laid back, still chuckling, "Sing that song again."

I choose a different song, singing softly as I fed Brailee, playing with her little toes and fingers as the words soothed her to sleep,

You are my sunshine

my only sunshine

you make me happy

when skies are grey

you'll never know dear

how much I love you

So please don't take

my sunshine away

As I continued the song, my mind played over all the moments of the last few weeks, lingering over the last few days, trying to pinpoint the moment when Blaise had found his way into my heart.  Maybe it was when he pulled me close on the couch, or the first time I saw him craddling my daughter in his arms, or maybe as recently as when he told me I was beautiful.  I wasn't sure, all I knew is he was there and I had no idea what I was suppose to do about it, no idea if he felt the same, or anything at all.  He could still be daydreaming about crashing the wedding for all I knew. 

As the song came to an end, I heard him say, "I love being a father, it's the only thing in the world I've ever wanted." I felt my uterus do another one of it's flips, drooling at his words, and had to keep from laughing at myself.

I looked down at Brailee and thought of all the stupid mistakes her momma had made in the name of love and hoped Blaise would not be another in my string as I replied, "She's the only really good thing I've ever done." knowing it was true.

"Hold on, I'll get her.  Let me put Bliss down." Blaise said as he got out of the bed, moving to put Bliss in the crib he had duplicated so there would be a spot for Brailee too.  I couldn't help but smile at the tender way he held her, or the way he had secured that I would be spending the night in his room with him.  Again. 

He came back into the room, smile still on his face, and sat on the bed, looking at me, "Come here' he whispered, his hands moving over my thighs as I straddled his lap, he moved them slowly upwards until they linked at the small of my back. 

I looked at him for a moment, thinking of the wonderful day he had given me, the sweetness he had shown, and I leaned forward, watching as his eyes closed just before my lips pressed against his lids.  As I moved my kiss to his forhead, I thought of him laughing, holding my daughter like she was his own.  I kissed his cheek, smiling at the memory of him telling me I looked like a princess.  By the time I moved to the corners of his mouth, I was kissing him for letting me feel the way I felt, wether or not it ended in heart ache.  And when my lips finally brushed with his, I breathed against them, "Thank you for today," my heart thanking him for at least the memory, no matter what tomorrow brought.

He pulled me close, his mouth against my ear as he whispered a "Thank you" of his own, his fingers in my hair as his mouth burned against my neck. 

I made love to him that night, none of my usual kinky remarks, no toys or innuendo's.  Just soft sighs, gentle kisses, and tender touches, giving myself to him in a way I hadn't before.
