I totally forgot disclaimers and
all that jazz….so I own NOTHING except for the characters you don't
know from the show (all of the kids but Aaron and Savannah) and the
plot line. I also don't own the song I used in the last chapter, I
Will Be Here by Steven Curtis Chapman, or the song I used in this
chapter, How Did I Fall in Love with You by Backstreet Boys…yes I'm
a dork…still listen to BSB…lol…by the way, thank you so much to
all of my amazing reviewers! Already got 13 reviews! YAY! Now, on
with chapter 2. I'm sure I have you all curious!
"Come on
mommy!" Lauren begged, pulling on her mom's dress.
"Let's
go change first." She said, all of them going upstairs. They
changed quickly. Just as Martin was sitting on the bed putting on his
shoes, the girls all came in and sat on the bed.
"What's going
on mommy?" Allison asked.
"Tell us PLEASE!" Madison
begged.
"We have a surprise!" Ruthie said, pulling three gift
bags out of the dresser.
They opened the bags, throwing tissue
paper everywhere. They each pulled out a pair of Mickey Mouse
ears.
"Yay! Mickey!" they said excitedly.
"Yes Mickey!"
Ruthie said excitedly.
"What are these for daddy?" Lauren
asked.
"Well…where do people wear Mickey ears?"
"Disney
World?" Madison asked.
"Yup." He said, pulling three
suitcases out of the huge walk-in closet. He put them in front of the
girls. "Go pack." Ruthie said.
"Are we...going to Disney
World?" Madison asked.
"Yeah. In three days."
"THREE
DAYS!" They asked excitedly, jumping up and down.
"Yes.
We're going to grandma and grandpa's and then we'll pack."
"What about school?" Madison asked, who was quite the
'scholar' of the family.
"Don't worry. We talked to your
teachers and have all of your assignments." Ruthie said,
reassuringly.
"Ok mommy." Madison said, as she and her sisters
hugged her parents. They took their suitcases to their rooms.
Ruthie
sighed, laying on the bed.
"What's wrong honey?" Martin
asked, laying beside her, as tears started to fill her eyes.
"I
just don't get it."
"Get what?"
"Why aren't I
getting pregnant Martin?"
"Ummm…I don't know…"
"We've
been trying to have another baby for a year."
"I know we have.
But aren't you sort of glad we aren't? I mean…Disney World
would be no fun if you were pregnant."
"True…but I want a
baby so much more." She said, as her husband pulled her in a
hug.
"I know you do. Don't give up yet." He said, wiping her
eyes with his thumb and kissing her cheek.
"I love you."
"Love
you too babe." She kissed him deeply, only to be interrupted by
their 5 year old daughter, Allison.
"Mommy?"
"Yes
baby?"
"When are we going to grandma's?"
"Oh crap! We
have to go now!" Ruthie said, getting off of the bed. "Maddie!
Allie!" she called. "Let's go!"
"But MOM!" Madison
whined, "We have to pack for Disney!"
"Honey, tomorrow's
Saturday…we don't leave until Monday. You have time to pack when
we get home tonight, and all day tomorrow. And mommy and daddy will
help you. We already did some packing."
"You did?"
"Yeah."
She nodded, and all three girls went downstairs.
"We're not
staying too long are we?" Ruthie asked.
"No…only like an
hour or two…we need to help them pack."
"I can't wait…I
feel like I'm five again."
"Well we have three children, we
have to feel young…for their sakes." He said, smiling. He grabbed
Ruthie by the waist and tickled her, pulling her into a kiss.
"Aren't you excited?" she asked Martin.
"Yeah…it's
their first time down there…can't wait to see the looks on their
faces." He said, kissing her again.
"Ew! Mommy! Daddy!"
Allison said disgustingly, which made her parents laugh.
"We're
coming baby." Ruthie said, as Allie went back downstairs and Martin
kissed Ruthie again.
"Later…" she said, laughing. "You
naughty boy!"
"I love my wife, what's wrong with
that?"
"Nothing." She said happily, kissing him quickly and
running downstairs to join her daughters.
Monday
"MOM!"
Madison called, and Ruthie came running. She was wearing a robe and
her hair was in a towel. "I was in the shower. What's wrong
honey?" she asked.
"Nothing's wrong. But I'm not packed
yet!"
"Are your sisters packed? We have to leave here in two
hours."
"Yes…you and daddy helped them last
night…remember?"
"Yes…didn't we help you?"
"Yes,
but not as much."
"Well what do you need?"
"Well how
much are we packing for?"
"We're going to be down there for
10 days. Daddy's doing laundry half way through. You do the math."
Ruthie suggested kindly to her daughter.
"5 days?"
"Good
job."
"So then I need, 3 t-shirts, 2 pairs of shorts, and 5
pairs of socks."
"I did laundry last night…did you check in
your basket and put things away like I asked you to?"
Madison
looked in the basket and blushed. "Oh…there's my clothes!
Haha…" she said, feeling slightly embarrassed for overreacting so
much. "Sorry mom."
"It's ok baby." She kissed the top
of Maddie's head and turned and walked down the hallway. "Ah…before
vacation madness…too insane…" she said to herself. ((soo
true…I just went to Disney world in November…pretty insane the
day we left))
Martin was throwing shampoo, conditioner, soap,
toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant into a small bag for their
bathroom at the hotel. Ruthie came behind him, rubbing his shoulders
and kissing his cheek. He smiled and threw the bag on the bed and
turned off the bathroom light.
"I'll go down with the girls."
He said. "Where's my suitcase honey?"
"They're both
downstairs dear."
"Oh. Right. Thanks." He said, kissing her
cheek.
"I'll be down in a second!" she called after him and
he nodded.
She put on a pair of khaki capri's and a light purple
t-shirt, with a white lace cami underneath it. She quickly scrunched
her hair. She put on her tan flip-flops, as well as some eyeliner,
mascara, and a little bit of foundation. She smiled pleasantly in the
mirror before putting her makeup and gel into a bag and walking
downstairs.
"Everyone ready? It's time to go!" Ruthie
called, as she stuffed the small plastic bag into her and Martin's
bathroom bag.
"YES MOMMY!" the girls said together, jumping
up and down.
"You think they're just a LITTLE excited?"
Martin asked sarcastically.
"Nah…you think?" Ruthie asked as
they heard a knock on the door. Madison opened it and smiled at who
it was.
"Hi Uncle Kevin!"
"Hi sweetie!" he said,
hugging his niece. "Everyone ready to go here?"
"Yup. Let's
head out." Martin said, as each of them grabbed their suitcases,
only Kevin took out Lauren's suitcase, while Ruthie held her hand.
They got in the car and took the 30 minute drive to the
airport.
Roughly 2 hours later, the plane had just taken
off.
"Where's daddy?" Lauren asked Ruthie.
"He's
right behind us with Maddie and Allie honey. Look." She and Lauren
turned around and waved at Martin and the other two girls.
"Are
you excited?" Ruthie asked her youngest daughter, as she pulled out
a coloring book and crayons from under her seat.
"YES! What are
we going to see in Disney World?" Lauren asked.
"Well…we're
going to have breakfast with the princesses…and see Mickey and
Minnie…and Pooh…"
"Eeyore too?"
"Yes." Ruthie
laughed, knowing that was her daughter's favorite character ((what
a coincidence…mine is too! Lol))
"What else?"
"We're
going to go on lots of fun rides…and see cool shows…and
parades."
"I'm going to like it aren't I mommy?" Lauren
asked.
"Oh I know you will honey." She said, as Lauren put the
coloring book in the pouch on the seat in front of her, and fell
asleep on her mom's shoulder. Ruthie smiled and pulled out her
iPod, and turned it to one of her favorite songs.
Remember
when, we never needed each other
The best of friends like
Sister
and brother
We understood, we'd never be alone
Those days
are gone
Now I want you so much
The night is long and I need
your touch
Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this
way
Don't want to be alone tonight
What can I do to make
you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what
did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
I hear your
voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that I
resemble
I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't
want to be alone tonightWhat can I do to make you
mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did
you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
Oh I want to say
this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know
I
don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With
you I wanna spend
The rest of my life
What can I do, to
make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say,
what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
What can
I do, to make you mine
Falling so hard so fast this
time
Everything's changed, we never knew
How did I fall, in
love, with you?
"Mommy!"
Lauren whispered for like the tenth time. "Are you ok?"
She
pulled her headphones out of her ears. "What?"
"I've been
saying your name for a couple minutes."
"I'm sorry baby.
What's wrong?"
"Nothing. What were you thinking
about?"
Ruthie smiled. "Daddy."
"Daddy?"
"Yes. I
love daddy so much."
"I love daddy too." Lauren said, laying
her head on her mom's arm again.
Ruthie pulled out a sheet of paper and wrote a note to Martin. 'I was listening to a song that I used to listen to when I was 16….How Did I Fall in Love with You.' She passed it back and Martin read it and chuckled. 'Aren't you a little old for the boy bands?' he wrote back. 'No! of course not! I'm at the right age to appreciate the boy bands!' she wrote back. 'I love you so much Mrs. Brewer. Try not to be sad about not having a baby right now.' He wrote, and blew her a kiss as he handed it to her. 'I'm trying not to. I just want one so bad. I love you more.' She wrote, handing it to him. She put in her headphones and fell asleep for the remainder of the flight.

adorable wasn't it? Lol. Not what a lot of you thought huh? PLEASE review and i'll add a chapter tomorrow...
