Gabriella held Elizabeth's hand while Troy pushed Lanai's stroller. Once they reached the theater, Troy parked the stroller and picked up Lanai. Elizabeth led everyone to find their seats. Gabriella helped directed her to an empty row.
"Why are we going to EPCOT, Mama?" Elizabeth asked as Gabriella helped her sit down in her lap.
"We're having dinner there." Gabriella answered.
"I thought we were going to the car place."
"We'll eat there the next time." Troy said as Elizabeth gave a pout. "Don't be sad, you'll like where we're eating, won't she Mommy?"
"Yes, you'll like it very much." Gabriella agreed.
"Tell me?"
"No, it's a surprise." Troy told his oldest daughter.
"Please?" Elizabeth asked giving her mother the Montez pout.
"That pout won't work on me, Baby-Doll." Gabriella told her smiling. "I'm the one who first made Daddy weak with it. So don't even try it."
"But I want to know."
"Well, it's a surprise." Gabriella stated kissing her gently as she turned the girl around in her lap to watch the show getting ready to start.
Half way through the show, Troy felt Lanai go heavy in his arms signaling she was sound asleep. Gabriella laughed and handed him Lanai's pacifier. Elizabeth was alert throughout the show. 'Beauty and the Beast' was her favorite movie.
After the show, the family got up and followed the sea of people out to the exit. Gabriella held Elizabeth's hand tightly so she wouldn't run off or get swept up by somebody. The adults met at Lanai's stroller. Troy gently placed the sleeping baby in the stroller and pulled the shade over to keep her out of the sun as she slept.
"Are you three going on Tower of Terror?" Gabriella asked Troy and his parents.
"I'm not." Mrs. Bolton stated.
"But you are." Troy told his wife.
"What?" Gabriella asked making sure she heard right.
"I'll take the girls through a couple stores." Mrs. Bolton said. "I'll try not to spoil them too much."
"See you later, Luce." Coach Bolton called.
"Be good for Grandma." Troy said to Elizabeth kneeling down to her level to kiss her gently.
"Ok." Elizabeth agreed. "Good luck, Mama!"
"Thanks, Baby." Gabriella said.
"Come on, Baby-Girl." Troy said pulling his wife along. "I might just let you hold my hand if you get too scared."
Gabriella laughed as she was led into the line. The area was made to be like a run down abandoned hotel from the 1930's. Coach Bolton had his video camera out catching candid moments.
"Your mother will never believe that you went on this." he told Gabriella.
"I can't believe I am either." Gabriella agreed laughing. "If anything happens, Elizabeth, La-La, Mommy loves you very much."
"Nothing is going to happen." Troy said wrapping his arms around her waist. "You're going to have the time of your life because your wonderful, not to mention, very adorable husband is going to be right next to you."
"And yet, no comfort at all."
Gabriella squealed when Troy began to tickle her. Troy chuckled as she squirmed in his arms. At this time, a few women, the same age as Gabriella, approached Troy. They asked for autographs and a picture. Gabriella moved to stand next to her father in law. She trusted her husband completely, but it always tore at her heart when girls and women would openly flirt with him right in front of her.
"So, there's a huge party at our place tonight. Care to join us?"
"Hold that thought." Troy stated. "Honey?"
"Yeah?" Gabriella asked.
"Party tonight?" Troy asked already knowing the answer.
"Can't, you've got a date for dinner with two little girls and your wife."
"Sorry ladies." Troy told his admirers. "But I've got a party with my family that requires my attendance."
Troy then walked over to rejoin his wife and father. He casually draped his arms across Gabriella's shoulder. Gabriella leaned her head against his and closed her eyes. The line began to move slowly towards the entrance. The hotel lobby was made to look like it did when the hotel closed. The line led them into the library where they were told the frightful story of why the hotel was the way it was.
"How many?" the bell hop asked once they reached the front of the line.
"Three." Coach Bolton answered.
"Row one."
"The front row?" Gabriella asked nervously as Troy gently pushed her forward.
"It'll be alright. I won't let you do anything."
"If I get sick, I'm going to kill you."
"No you won't." Troy stated. "You love me too much to do that."
The three got on their elevator along with the rest of their larger group. Gabriella sat in between Troy and Coach Bolton. Once everyone was settled in safely the elevator began to head up.
"How was it?" Mrs. Bolton asked meeting up with them later.
"Not as bad as I thought it was going to be." Gabriella answered truthfully.
"See I told you." Troy told her. "So where to next?"
"Playhouse Disney!" Elizabeth asked anxiously.
"She's been waiting for you all to get off just to go see that with her mommy and daddy." Mrs. Bolton told them.
"Playhouse Disney it is." Troy agreed picking Elizabeth and putting her on his shoulder.
