Chapter 105: The Reckoning Part 6: Family Vacation
Ignis relaxed in the backyard, enjoying the sunset when Xander finally opened a portal and waved to him to return into the mansion.
Sora immediately shook his hand. Ignis heard a strange party invitation that included specific conditions, which included the ability to return to Solstice as he pleased.
He gladly accepted the party invite.
They threw a small celebration that evening, as Brie and Sora planned on leaving, without Ignis, in the morning. Sora showed Ignis his garage while the others were gathered around Sera, talking about her pregnancy.
"Woah, this is some setup you have here. Ok, this is your best bet." Ignis identified a middle sized spaceship parked in slot 3.
"Hey Brie, I need you babe. Ignis is going to walk us through how to operate this thing."
"Heya!" Brie said with Xander in her arms.
Ignis was startled, which caused Xander to laugh.
"That’ll take some getting used to, now, here’s what you need to do..."
Ignis entered coordinates in the GPS on the central command system and showed Sora and Brie how to operate the spacecraft. It flew itself, but if there was a need for Sora or Brie to fly the ship, he took them on a quick test flight.
Xander got a kick out of the whole thing, and Sora and Brie were amazed how quickly they were in space and flying around.
"Everything looks so small." Sora said with a smile. "Ignis, can I take the controls?"
"Ha! Of course. I remember my first space flight. It was quite interesting to say the least. I didn’t have a fancy ship until I became King!" Ignis admitted while laughing.
"Well, mine were there before I became King, but I never used them until I was King," Sora laughed.
After an hour or two, they got the jist of it and Brie successfully landed the spaceship in their front yard without the assistance of autopilot.
"You know Ignis, you can teleport to anyone in the party. Haven’t you noticed you can sense everyone’s location in your head?"
"That’s what that is! I heard it in the conditions but I thought I was imagining things. It looks like they’re all still in the living room. When is Sera due to have her child?"
"They were married in July, right before Brie’s birthday and that’s when they announced they were having a child. Celeste anticipates the pregnancy lasting 6-7 months, so the baby should be due in about 5-6 months."
"So January or February, what about your little guy? When was he born?"
"February 14th, so yes, lots to look forward to. Well, it was nice to meet you, Xander is hungry and tired. I’d recommend hanging out with some of the party members! This mansion has more rooms and things than most small cities. Choose any room you’d like, there are plenty," Sora explained, with a yawn.
"Sorry, I’m really tired. Glad to have you!" Sora said and teleported with his family to their bedroom before Ignis could respond.
"Well, I guess I should get used to this teleportation thing," Ignis muttered while teleporting to the living room.
They all sat and talked, until Leila, Bishop, Lionel, Levi and Sasha showed Ignis around the mansion. THey stayed up late into the night while Brie, Sora and Xander slept. freewēbnoveℓ.com

The next morning, Xander woke Brie before sunrise to eat. Sora made him some oatmeal and told him he needed to start weaning off his Mother’s breastmilk.
Xander did a mini temper tantrum until Sora joked, "You could always stay with Levi and Sasha while your Mother and I–"
"I eat oatmeal. Baba puwease."
"Good boy sweetie," Brie said as she used her magic to safely warm the bottle. She squirted a bit in Sora’s mouth to make sure it wasn’t too hot. He laughed and gave a thumbs up while grimacing from the taste.
"I don’t have to pump as much anymore. Xander, it’s only going to be babas and real food on our trip ok?"
"Otay Momma." Xander said as he quickly ate his oatmeal and glugged away on his baba.
Sora loaded up his dimensional void with changes of clothes, food capsules, and the usual SSS armor and weaponry. He also loaded up a magical cooler with 12 bottles of breast milk and Brie’s breast pump, just in case. He loaded up Xander’s crib and plenty of Xander’s things.
The majority of the party went out to observe the space launch. Sora, Brie and Xander waved before blasting off.
"Says it should only take about 2 hours to get there, what do you want to do in the meantime?"
"Pway games!"
Sora and Brie chased Xander around the ship until he was eventually worn out. He fell asleep after drinking a bottle and Sora pulled out his crib from the dimensional void. Brie gently put Xander in it, and they teleported to the one bedroom on the spacecraft and had a nice, quick adult session.
Afterwards, they showered and put on nice clothes. Brie put on an elegant dress and did her make up. Sora decided to wear dress pants and a nice polo with dress shoes. Xander woke up, opened a portal and ran through it. The portal led to the bathroom, and he pulled down his diaper, sat on the toilet, and took a big poop.
"What a good boy! You finally learned how to use the potty!" Brie said proudly. She helped him clean himself and made sure they both washed their hands.
"I no need diapey anymowe." Xander bragged.
Brie dressed him in a cute outfit that matched his father and put on his dress shoes for him. For a four month old, he certainly looked well over a year old.
They admired the view of the large planet as they rapidly sped toward it. The ship used auto pilot the entire time and as they approached, it slowed down and eventually stopped at a space station.
"Names and identification please."
Sora realized they didn’t have official identification cards. That was something he remembered from Earth, but something he never thought of on Exteria. They were married in MeadowSong and didn’t need a marriage license.
Brie handed over two cards while saying, "the little one is our son, we are from Exteria."
The man scanned the cards and handed them back.
"Welcome to Nexus, enjoy your stay."
The spaceship piloted itself slowly through a large space port.
Sora laughed. "When and where did you get those and how did you get one for me?"
"It’s pretty easy to do things when you’re Queen of the entire planet. I just asked Celeste if we’d ever need identification so she made us cards." Brie giggled.
The spacecraft docked and Sora pressed the button. The Spacecraft slowly opened from below and the two walked out with Xander in Sora’s arms.
He pressed a button in a new app Ignis explained on his cell phone, which closed and locked the spacecraft.
"I still feel like I’ve lived under a rock sometimes Brie... you were never wrong about that," Sora joked.
