Zendaya Imagines (GxG)

The backyard was filled with excitement as the enormous bounce house towered over the grass, stretching wider than any you had ever seen before. It wasn't just any bounce house—it was a massive inflatable castle with slides, tunnels, and even an obstacle course built into it. Zendaya had gone all out with this surprise, and it was safe to say that the entire family was beyond thrilled.

"It's here! It's here!" Zendaya squealed, practically vibrating with excitement as she jumped on the bed, her curls bouncing with every movement.

"What's here, baby?" you asked, rubbing the sleep from your eyes.

"Our BOUNCE HOUSEEEE!" she shrieked, grabbing your hands and tugging you toward the edge of the bed.

"Wait... already?" you asked, suddenly wide awake.

You both rushed toward the back of the house, stopping at the sliding glass doors, and your eyes widened in amazement. The massive, multicolored bounce house stood proudly in the backyard, taking up nearly all the free space. There were two towering slides on each side, an entrance shaped like a castle drawbridge, and even a smaller section off to the side just for little kids. It was basically an amusement park in your own backyard.

Zendaya gasped dramatically. "Baby, come on! We gotta go right now!" she said, tugging on your hand as if she was a child herself.

"Baby, they aren't even finished setting it up yet," you laughed, watching the workers secure the last few safety features.

"I don't care! We can start the fun right now!" she whined playfully, bouncing on the balls of her feet.

"At least put on something comfortable first!" you called as you turned to go upstairs.

She huffed but followed you, rushing past into the closet. "Put on something fun, love!" she yelled from inside.

"I'm literally in sweats and a sports bra. This is as fun as it gets," you teased, shaking your head.

By the time you turned around, Zendaya was already bolting out of the room, dressed in a tank top and basketball shorts, gripping your hand for a split second before letting go to sprint ahead.

"Come on, come on, come on!" she called, running outside.

But before you could even step onto the back patio, two tiny voices filled the air.

"Mommy! Mama! I wanna bounce too!" Amelia shrieked as she ran barefoot onto the grass, her wild curls bouncing with her.

Marshall, wobbling behind her in his little dinosaur pajamas, clapped his hands excitedly. "Bounce! Bounce!" he repeated, his chubby cheeks flushed with joy.

Zendaya gasped dramatically, crouching down to Amelia's level with a hand over her heart. "Oh my goodness! Our castle was missing its princess! And our tiny knight!"

Amelia giggled, throwing her arms around Zendaya's neck. "I wanna go in!"

Marshall reached up toward you, making grabby hands. "Up! Up!" he demanded, eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Alright, alright, little man. Let's do this," you said, scooping him up as Zendaya carried Amelia inside the bounce house.

The moment Amelia's feet touched the inflatable floor, she shrieked with laughter and immediately started jumping. "We're flying, Mama! We're flying!"

Marshall, however, wasn't quite sure what to do. He wobbled uncertainly before falling onto his diapered butt. He blinked up at you and Zendaya, a bit confused by the way everything moved beneath him.

Then, after a moment, he burst into a fit of giggles. "More!" he shouted, bouncing on his bottom.

Zendaya fell onto her back, laughing as she reached for Amelia's hand. "Alright, princess, we gotta test out the slide!"

Amelia gasped. "We do?!"

"Oh, absolutely. Only the bravest go down the royal slides," Zendaya said, winking at her.

Amelia, full of excitement, grabbed her hand and raced toward one of the giant slides. Zendaya barely had time to keep up before they both went tumbling down, Amelia screaming with pure delight.

Marshall, seeing their excitement, scrambled onto your lap. "Mama! Slide!" he demanded, pointing eagerly.

You smiled, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "Alright, buddy, let's go!"

Holding him close, you climbed up and whooshed down the slide, his squeals of laughter filling the air. When you landed at the bottom, he was breathless from giggling, his tiny fingers gripping onto you tightly.

Zendaya, still sprawled out on the bouncy floor, grinned up at you. "Best. Idea. Ever."

You laid down next to her, Marshall still in your arms, Amelia flopping beside you. "You were right, baby. This is perfect."

She smiled, reaching over to squeeze your hand. "With you guys, everything is."

And in that moment, with your kids nestled between you and the sky darkening into soft hues of pink and orange, you knew there was nowhere else you'd rather be.
