He pressed the moustache to his lip tighter so it would stick, and gave her a huge smile, wiggling his eyebrows a little, which in turn made the costume piece twitch. 

“C’mon…’Ow can yeh say no t’ this face?” He asked, pouting at her with huge puppy dog eyes. Once she consigned- begrudgingly, mind you- he chuckled to himself and tucked the piece into his shirt pocket. He would put it on once they actually got to the park.

She shook her head and chuckled. “No, I won’t give in. No false moustache.” After a while, Mary suddenly realised how late it was. “My goodness! Look at the time, we better hurry up a bit!” They both agreed that Bert would make chalk drawing of Disneyland the night before they’d leave for Disneyland, which he did. So all Bert needed to do was get into his new clothes and then they would all be ready to jump into the picture.

Bert hefted a large sigh and pulled the moustache from his upper lip. Instead of putting it back though, he did tuck it into his pocket, planning on sneaking it out at a random time. He knew it would warrant a chuckle at least from Liam, and if he liked it, then there was no way Mary could deny him. Plus, it really was the perfect disguise. 

He got dressed quickly when Mary noticed how late they were running (late on Mary’s terms, who always liked to be early to everything), and sped down the hall to snatch Liam up from his chair and spin him around the room. 

“Ready ‘t go, pal?” He asked, setting the boy down and helping him into his coat and shoes. The little one nodded eagerly and rushed towards the door in front of his parents, waiting impatiently for them to open it, as he knew better than to open the door and go outside by himself. 

Mary left the bedroom before Bert did and just stood there, rather impatiently waiting for her two men to get ready. When Bert finally got his son into his coat in shoes, she nodded and smiled brightly. “Now then, are we all ready?” With that, she opened the door and they all walked out of the house, ready to leave at last.

Outside, Bert strolled to a stop at the end of their walkway. He looked at the car, then to Mary and Liam, and back again. He wondered for a moment if it would have been better, more practical, for them to take more conventional means of travel, a car, a boat, a plane, but then, it was never really their style. They walked to the end of the driveway and found Bert’s drawing of Disneyland. 

He always picked the same bit of sidewalk to draw on, as it was remarkably smooth and held the chalk well, whatever the composition of the stone was, it was nice. He knelt down to inspect the drawing, to make sure the weather hadn’t done anything to alter it (there had been a decent breeze last night, and he never really could be too cautious.), and once satisfied, took his family’s hands and nodded, giving Mary the okay to go. 

Mary counted with her eyes closed. “1,2,3…”. The three jumped into the chalkdrawing and only seconds later the chalk around them slowly started to fade. They now stood in front of the entrance, queueing up behind the other visiters. Liam could not hide his excitment and kept jumping up and down. “Mommy, mommy,   where’s Peter Pan?” His mother laughed and knelt down beside him. “Not yet, Liam, we have to wait a while before we can get in, you see. All those people in front of us - she pointed at the crowd in front of them - have to get in too. But I’m sure we’ll spot Peter soon enough, if you just have enough patience, alright? Now come on.” Picking up her son in her arms, Mary looked at Bert and gave him a loving smile and a wink.



Merry Christmas everyone!

Anonymous asked: Do you want more kids?

Well…I’ll have to discuss that with Bert, I’m afraid.

But I’d love to have a sister or brother for Liam! Only when the time is right, of course.
