Story behind this: I was at my friend's house swimming, but I didn't feel too great, so I went inside with her two younger sisters who are also great friends of mine. We were bored and tired of the hot Texas sun, so we watched old Disney movies on VHS. First, we watched Mulan, and we were going to watch Lion King, but we ended up watching Anastasia instead (not Disney, but whatever). I loved those animated Disney movies. Good times. XD
And I'm dedicating this to Bailey, my friend's younger sister, because she's awesome like that and I've always loved her name. That's why I stole it. :D
DVDs
Putting the DVD in the player, he grabbed one of the quilts off of the chair and went to where his wife and daughter were laying on the couch. He smiled down at his family and sat next to them, wrapping the quilt around them snugly and pulling them into his arms.
"Are you ready for this, Bailey?" he asked his daughter, placing a kiss on her curly brown hair. She nodded eagerly and settled back against Elizabeth's stomach. Elizabeth smiled down at her two-year-old daughter and then up at her husband. He had adapted so well to family life. It melted her heart to see her soul mate pick up their child and hug her or tickle her. He made such a wonderful father.
The family settled in as the TV screen flashed the colors of the Disney movie. Every child had to see the classic animated movies. They were what made childhood. Elizabeth had picked out The Little Mermaid because, even at two years old, Bailey loved the water, just like her parents. Although Elizabeth was a little worried that the little one would find the movie scary, she thought that it would be a good movie to watch as a family, and it was one of the few animated Disney movies she had on DVD.
The young couple paid more attention to Bailey than to the movie, watching as her face lit up with the bright colors, upbeat songs, and captivating characters on the screen. She particularly loved Sebastian. But, about halfway through the movie, Bailey's small head had lolled onto her shoulder as she slept peacefully. Will motioned towards Elizabeth, and she nodded.
"We should get her to bed," Will whispered softly. Elizabeth carefully sat up and allowed Will to pick her up. Carefully, he carried her to her bed, pulling the covers back and tucking her in.
"Goodnight," Elizabeth kissed her daughter's forehead and moved towards the doorway. Will knelt down to the bed, brushing Bailey's long, wispy curls away from her face. Elizabeth watched as he stroked her cheek and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"Goodnight, my angel." Elizabeth smiled at him as he stood, her heart full of love for her family in front of her.
