Chapter 7

Mary missing her period by a few days didn't affect me much, as I figured the amount of disruption in her life was the potential reason for being late. When Martha announced she'd gotten hers that meant she only thought she was pregnant, which could have been because of caused by guilt, fear, and anxiety.

We were at Disney World, so it was not hard to have our driver take me to a drug store and get them all the things they'd need to handle mother natures' visit, even though they all promised me they were prepared, with the exception of Martha who thought she wouldn't be having one for nine months. Adding a bagful of early pregnancy test kits to the purchase was just as easy, so I did. Martha looked absolutely stricken to have me present for the discussion about her period, so I stepped out. Mary was ecstatic, hoping she was expecting my baby.

My feeling was that it was way too soon for Mary to get her hopes up, and Martha would just have to deal with her embarrassment. I handed the package of pregnancy test kits to Ruth and made sure she knew what they were for. She took the three girls into the bathroom, and they did what they had to do.

When they returned, Ruth shook her head, indicating that Mary's test came back negative. I smiled at my Mary, and said, "We'll test you in a few days to see if it's still too early to tell. Of course, that means we get to keep trying..." She gave her prettiest smile when I said that.

After considerable delay, we all trooped out to be driven to the front entrance of the Magic Kingdom. Instead of it being seven-thirty A.M. it was nine, and it looked like the whole world was entering as we arrived. Oh well. We would be there all day and evening, so no harm, no foul.

I watched my brides come alive as we entered the gates, and as we walked up Main Street USA, their eyes got brighter, and their smiles more animated. The characters were out, and I used my iPhone Six to take pictures of Mary, Martha, and Marian, and Then I ordered eight by tens for our scrapbook. Ruth finally agreed to have her photo taken with Pluto, and I did the same.

Tomorrowland was a blast. Ruth loved the little train that took us all through that part of the park, and inside several of the rides for a look, including Space Mountain, while I waited in line with the girls for Space Mountain. She chose to go on it several times, while I waited in line with the girls for Space Mountain.

I noted unusual interest in the go karts, but didn't urge them to wait an hour, to ride a worn out, slow, and not fun go kart. I knew where the best tracks were, and intended to get us all out on the track in cars that made it worth the trouble. If my brides wanted to try driving, I'd make sure they got the chance.

We spent the entire day wandering through the park, riding rides, eating like little pigs, and enjoying a spectacular time together. The girls wore themselves out right after dinner, which was at the 'Be Our Guest' restaurant in Fantasyland. The pork was wonderful, and dessert? It was sublime. The hotel took care of reservations, and fast passes, or whatever they call them now. We got to move pretty quickly through some of the worst lines, and our breakfast, lunch, and dinner reservations got us exceptional service and back on our way.

When Martha asked if it was Ok to head back to the hotel, I was happy to call for our car and herd them all to the pickup location. The driver was waiting when we cleared the entrance, and in mere moments, we were inside the Contemporary Hotel, and on our way to our suite.

Martha was feeling low, so we allowed her first shot at the bathroom in the big bedroom. The rest shared the second bath, giving her some much needed privacy. Once everyone felt fresh, we went outside to watch the fireworks and get off our feet.

Ruth cuddled up on one side, and Marian took the other, while we watched the show. Mary chose my lap and laid with her head beside my neck, giving me little kisses from time to time, and otherwise showering me affection. That girl LOVED Disney World.

Martha needed the small bedroom to nurse her emotions, so the other three joined me in the big bed, and flipped a coin to see who went first, second, and third. Mary won and promptly jumped my bones, squeezing, humping, squealing, and generally letting her inner animal out. Marian was tired, subdued, but determined, and she stayed with it until she wore herself the rest of the way out.

Ruth took her time, and let the pleasure build in both of us for a very long time, before quickening her pace and getting us both to the promised land, almost together. Sleep arrived, and we all went out like broken light bulbs.

We woke to rain. Lots of it, so we ordered room service, ate like this-little-piggy, and romped around the bed enjoying the time to relax. Martha was little less grumpy, and joined us in bed for breakfast, but stayed out of all the wrestling, giggling, and general fun.

By the time the rain quit, I'd decided to have the car take us to Fun Stop, on the Kissimmee Strip, where they boast of four go-kart tracks, each harder and more challenging than the last. I bought season passes, in case we came back for another afternoon, and I got the girls their first driving experience. The beginner course was slow cars, and a slow, oval track. There was nothing even remotely challenging about it, which was why our five cars were the only ones on the course. Ruth managed to hit everything except the lottery, and the other three tried to match her hit for hit, but we had a blast goofing around.

We eventually moved up to the faster cars, and a serpentine track, which was almost too much for Marian. She seemed to like hitting whichever car was closest to her, instead of traveling in a forward direction. Ruth did manage one entire circuit without hitting either the guardrail, the ride worker, or any of us.
