"Mama mama can we go on its a small world again? Please!" Sawyer Hudson asked as she was walking out of It's a small world. Rachel looked down at her daughter and smiled at the four year old brown hair curly top. She didn't have the heart to tell her daughter "no", But they did go on it four times already. Rachel never liked rides not even when she was in High School. Immediately her mind flashed back to the Lima Ohio County fair. She remembered riding the most terrifying ride of all in her mind was the ferris wheel. It only took one time around and she almost didn't make it to a trash can.
"Honey, what about splash mountain or the tea cups?" She asked holding on to her daughter's hand. Sawyer was the first Hudson baby born and she was so much like her mom. Sawyer loved to sing and dance but, she was also like Finn in many ways, she loved to play sports and get dirty. For a four year old she was the perfect combination of both parents. Rachel then looked over at Finn who was walking on the other side of her and noticed how he was holding a sleeping Christopher in his arms. Christopher the athletic two year old was the "oops baby" that nobody planned but once he was here they couldn't love him any less. Rachel then looked back down and knelt in front of her little girl taking her tiny hands in hers. "Sawyer, can we please go back to the hotel, Daddy and Chris are already sleepwalking and I'm getting tired too. So would you mind if we go back to the car and we can ride It's a small world again tomorrow? Please for mommy!"
The little girl looked upset but she nodded her head in agreement. "Thank you sweetie!" As Rachel picked up the four year old and gave her a nice tight hug. As the family of four started walking back their car they noticed some rides that looked interesting to them and knew that tomorrow they would ride them over and over again until one of them got sick of it. Sawyer then pointed to a cotton candy cart and begged her parents for some.
Finn smiled and gave Christopher to Rachel and grabbed Sawyer's hands, as they walked over to the cart, Sawyer pointed to a pink cotton candy. "Dada can i have that for the car ride back to the hotel please!"
Finn laughed, then bent down to Sawyer's eye level and pointed to his cheek. "Only if you kiss me kiddo!" Sawyer clapped her small hands and placed a sweet kiss on her fathers cheek. Finn then went up to the cart and bought his little princess her cotton candy. Sawyer always got her way with her father, she was daddy's little girl and thats the way they both liked it. Sawyer ripped open the bag not even giving her father the time to open it. She put her hands in the sticky substance and automatically moaned when she tasted the fruity goodness in her mouth. Finn laughed at his now sticky four year old and asked, "What happened about saving it for the car?"
Sawyer smiled and said, "Dada its cotton candy, nobody can wait when it comes to cotton candy." She laughed and moved her hands up and down like trying to prove a point. She then ran over to her momma, as Finn saw his daughter run over to Rachel and Chris his heart filled with warmth at the sight in front of him. He loved his family and in that moment he felt as if he were invincible and nothing could bring him down.
As the family started walking again Finn held on to his daughter's now very sticky hands and skipped with her to the car. He tried not to fall over his own two feet but was very unlucky. Sawyer pointed and laughed as Finn fell. Finn got up quickly, picked up sawyer and put her over his shoulders. "aaah daddy put me down." Finn was reluctant at first, but he willingly put her down. Sawyer then ran to Rachel and hugged her waist and said, "Daddy is being mean!"
Rachel looked down at the four year old and said, "Well when we go back to the hotel you can have a tickle fight with him and make him pay for it ok?" She said scrunching her face and reaching down to hold her hand while balancing a sleeping Chris on her shoulder.
When the family of four reached there car they stopped for a second to gaze at the sunset. As the night sky rose the family knew it as been a successful day. Rachel then put her napping son in his car seat and kissed his head while brushing some of his brown hair to the side before closing his door quietly and slipping herself into the passenger seat. Finn on the other hand was having a hard time getting Sawyer into her seat. She was very hyper from the now finished cotton candy bag. She ran around the car giggling her little head off. At this point in time Finn was chasing her yelling, "Sawyer Barbara Hudson! You are in a very dangerous area and any driver at any given time could hit you and take you away from me. Now do you want that to happen?"
Sawyer then stopped in her tracks looking at her dad and shook her head "no", She then ran into her father's arms and wrapped her biceps around his neck.
"I don't want anything to ever happen to you, or mama or cwissy!" She then kissed his cheek and let him put her in the car and into her car seat. She fell asleep along side her brother for the trip back to the hotel. The long day at Disney knocked them out and Finn was happy that now he now had a few minutes to spend with Rachel before the noise of crying children interfered.
Finn rubbed his thumb on top of his wife's knuckles and said, "Babe it was a really great idea that you planned this for the family i mean we always used to take vacations here and there before the kids were born and then work, and other stuff got in the way. I'm just glad i can say that this is turning out great so far." He then laughed a little bit and said,"I mean did you see the enjoyment in Sawyer's eyes as she rode Dumbo? She loved it even after the five times we went on." His mind flashed back to the ride and he smiled wide at his daughters face and how happy she looked it made his day. He grabbed her hand and asked, "Did you have fun babe?"
Rachel smiled and nodded, "I did Finn, like you said we need to take vacations more often. I loved spending the day with my wonderful family. I loved Chris's face though when he saw Goofy. I mean he was so shocked and happy it made me smile."
Her mind immediately flashed back to the encounter with her son. The whole family was eating breakfast with the characters, when all of a sudden Chris started pointing and banging his dish on his highchair. Rachel immediately looked to where the rambunctious two year old was pointing too. She smiled down at her son and said, "Who's that Goofy?" Chris's then clapped his hands and repeated "Goofy?" Rachel smiled when the cartoon character decided to come to there table and grace them with his prescience. She then stood up and took her son out of his high chair bringing him over to the costumed guy. Christopher automatically became embarrassed and buried his head in his mom's shoulder. "Chris, what's wrong? Look he's friendly!" She then gave him a hug ignoring the jealous look Finn gave to the dog that had his hands around his wife. Chris then smiled and got down off of Rachel and gave the friendly man a hug. Letting Rachel take a picture of him.
"you were so jealous!" She laughed as she was coming out of her memory. Finn looked at her and declined it, but deep down they both knew it was true.
He looked at her and she smiled. She then kissed his hand and fell asleep against the window. Finn then staring back at the road immediately stepped on the brakes as an oncoming car was going in the wrong direction. He was pretty sure that the whole state heard the screeching of his tires as they were like the sound of a race car coming to a complete halt. Rachel immediately woke up from her slumber and like an instinct held on to her stomach to protect her unborn child. Finn then put his arm behind him trying to protect his kids from any danger. He then heard a scream and then a shattering a of glass.
