It's now March and everyone is busy getting ready for the annual family spring break vacation to New York City with Kurt, Blaine, Elizabeth, and Juliet. Rachel was both excited and nervous for the vacation because it would be the first big family trip with the twins. The entire family always enjoyed the trip to New York City and although they're not even a year old yet, Rachel really hopes that the twins will enjoy the trip too.
"Hey Mom, should I pack dress clothes for New York?" Fyero asks Rachel
"Yes Honey, we will probably be going to a show." Rachel replies
"Ok, what time does our flight leave tomorrow morning?"
"Eleven, were leaving the house at eight."
"Mom, do you realize how much sleep you are depriving me of?"
"You can sleep on the plane Sweetie."
"Oh alright."
The next morning comes quickly. Rachel gets the twins ready, Finn wakes up Stella, and Fyero slowly gets ready, yawning sleepily and playing with the zipper of his black, fleece, North Face jacket.
Before the plane takes off Finn bounces the twins up and down on his knees and they giggle cutely.
"You like it when I do that, don't you?" he says smiling.
A women walking down the aisle of the plane to her seat sees Finn with the twins and smiles.
"How old are they?" The woman asks.
"Ten months." Finn replies
"Such a cute age. They're adorable."
"Thank you."
The plane takes off and Finn sets Christopher in Rachel's lap.
About twenty minutes into the flight, Alexis starts to cry. Finn thinks it's because her ears are popping, so he puts a pacifier in his tiny daughter's mouth to try and calm her down. Even after that, Alexis is still crying. Finn picks her up and rocks her gently.
"Shhh, don't cry Little Munchkin, Daddy doesn't like it when you cry. Your little ears are just popping, you'll be alright. Go to sleep Butterfly, you'll feel better soon."He tells Alexis, kissing her forehead and wiping away her little tears.
The little girl's amber eyes struggle to stay open until finally she drifts of to sleep.
"She looks a lot like you when she's asleep, Finn." Rachel whispers, careful not to wake up her sleeping daughter.
"I know. I love watching her sleep." Finn replies smiling
"She really loves you. You are so good with her, you can always calm her down."
"That's because she knows that I really don't like it when she cries."
A few hours later, the plane lands and it startles the twins so they wake up crying.
"Sweetie don't cry, were here Little Man." Rachel whispers to her crying son who looks very startled. A little while later he stops crying.
"Goodness he's such a Momma's boy." Finn teases
"He can't help it." Rachel replies
"I know, he just loves you. He especially likes it when you sing to him it makes him smile."
"He's like you then I guess. Inside and out."
After getting settled in everyone heads to the Central Park Zoo.
"Daddy, are there dolphins at this zoo?" Stella asks her father curiously
"Oh yeah, there's a whole ton of dolphins at this zoo Princess." Finn replies.
"Yay! I love dolphins."
"I know you do."
"Speaking of animals, I really hope none of them pee on me." Kurt says rolling his eyes, he's not too fond of zoo animals.
"God Daddy! Chill out!" Elizabeth says sassily."
"Elizabeth Darling, Don't you dare get sassy with me!"
Everyone splits up after paying for their admission tickets. Finn's with Stella, Rachel's with the twins, Fyero's with Elizabeth, and Kurt and Blaine are with Juliet.
"Daddy, look at this elephant it's huge!" Stella says excitedly.
"Sure is Stell Bell." Finn replies
"Can we go see the dolphins now."
"Yeah, we can go see the dolphins now. Are you sure you're not half mermaid Stella?
"Daddy, I can't be a mermaid, that's silly!"
Meanwhile, Rachel's taking the twins around the zoo, teaching them different animal noises. They stop at the lion's exhibit. "That's a lion and lions say roar. Can you say roar, Christopher?" Rachel asks her son playfully. Christopher just giggles happily in response.
"Close enough." Rachel says smiling.
After a long day at the zoo everybody goes out to dinner at a nice spaghetti restaurant in Little Italy.
"So, Uncle Kurt did you get peed on?" Fyero asks jokingly.
"No, but a camel did spit on me, all over my just motorized face. So freaking gross." Kurt says with an extremely disgusted look on his face.
"That's really gross I'm sorry."
Rachel is spooning some spaghetti into Christopher's mouth when he gets sauce all over his mouth and chin. Rachel wipes it off of him and smiles. "You are such a messy eater, just like your daddy." She tells her son.
"At least we know that he likes spaghetti." Finn says smiling
"True."
The night flew by and soon everyone was in bed asleep. In the morning everybody went to see The Statue of Liberty. Christopher is fussy the entire boat ride to the statue.
"It's okay Sweetie, the waters just a little rough that's all. The boat is going to stop soon." Rachel says calmly to her son trying to get stop crying. The boat stops when the Statue is in really good few.
"Stell Bell, can you see the statue ok?" Finn asks as Stella peeks her head over the boat.
"Yes Daddy, I can see it just fine. It's really pretty." Stella says smiling"
"It's pretty cool. That's for sure."
After the statue everyone goes shopping. Fyero and Elizabeth are being total divas.
"Oh my god Fyero look at how shiny this purse is!" Elizabeth says practically squealing.
"Elizabeth I really think you have a purse faddish." Fyero jokes.
"Fyero, that's ridiculous, no I do not! Daddy will you please tell Fyero that I honestly do not have a purse faddish?"
"I'm sorry Honey, but if I told him that you didn't have a purse faddish I would be telling him a huge lie." Kurt teases smiling.
"Ha! I told you had one, your Daddy even agrees." Fyero says jokingly
"Oh my god, you're so mean." Elizabeth says, very embarrassed.
"I just like to mess with you."
"Oh heck yes you do."
Fyero's sitting on his hotel bed watching TV when Eric calls him.
"Hey babe, I miss you." Fyero says into the phone.
"Awww, I miss you too, how's New York?" Eric asks
"Amazing how's Florida?"
"Good, lonely but good. I gotta go we're going to dinner. I love you."
"Love you too, bye"
Fyero sighs, he really misses Eric. Thinking about being in New York with Eric someday makes Fyero smile. He knew that if they were to be together for their entire lives in this incredibly magical city would make the whole idea of forever sound so much more amazing."
"Hey Honey we are leaving to go to dinner in about ten minutes." Rachel says, breaking Fyero from his daze.
"Alright, I'll be ready." Fyero replies
"Good."
At dinner it is announced that they will all be going to see a Broadway show the following evening
The morning consists of more sightseeing, shopping, and strolling around Central Park. The afternoon is spent getting ready for the show.
Finn's worried about looking awkward, Rachel panicks about the possibility of being late to the show, Fyero is trying to look very dressed up, Stella enjoys getting dressed up, Christopher is fussy while getting dressed, and Alexis is just very smiley.
"Daddy, do I look pretty in my dress?" Stella asks Finn, smiling as she twirls around in her navy blue velvet dress and white tights.
"Stella Sweetie Pie, you look beautiful." Finn replies, kissing Stella on the cheek.
"Thank you Daddy."
"You're welcome Princess."
They see the Revival show of Cats, which turns out to be a pretty a pretty amazing and entertaining show and everyone really enjoys it.
"So Stell Bell, what did you think of the show? Did you like it?" Finn asks Stella after the show is over and they head back to the hotel.
"Yes I did. It was amazing!" Stella says, a very wide smile on her face.
"It was pretty amazing wasn't it?"
They get back to the hotel and all of the kids are asleep in bed, so Finn and Rachel decide to wind down too.
"You know Rachel, Stella really is exactly like you." Finn says smiling
"I know, she's so much like me when I was about her age. It's kind of crazy." Rachel replies
"I remember when we still lived here and Fyero was about three years old and we were watching you on Broadway, and he looked at me and he said, 'Daddy I want to be on stage one day just like Mommy' "
"He was always so cute and sweet after I would get off of the stage, and the two of you would always bring me flowers."
"You deserved them every single time."
"I never would have been able to if it wasn't for you."
"Well I'm glad you did, because it's made this family so special."
In the morning, everyone goes to see 9-11 memorial, and it's still a very amazing sight to see. Fyero has always liked photography so he takes a bunch of amazing pictures of the memorial because he finds it to be fascinating.
"Did you get some good pictures." Finn asks Fyero
"Yeah they're really good." Fyero replies
"You want to go play football with me in Central Park I brought the ball with me and I thought we could teach your little brother a few things about football while Mom takes the girls out shopping, what do you say?"
"I would love too, but are you sure we should bring Christopher with us? I mean he can't even walk at all yet."
"Then he can laugh at the fact that I suck at football because I am an old man and you will so kick my ass so bad.
"Alrighty then, I look forward to kicking your ass at football."
"I look forward to you beating my ass at football."
Fyero kills Finn at football, and it seems to make Christopher laugh the next morning is the last morning in New York, they're leaving to go home tonight. To enjoy the last few hours of the New York trip everyone decides to have a picnic in the park lunch.
"This was a really nice trip to New York." Fyero says smiling. He loves this place so much it feels like home to him.
"It was." Everyone agrees. They're all smiling a lot
"I'm really going to miss this, it brings backs so many memories." Finn says.
"It really is a special place, I'm going to miss it a whole lot too." Rachel replies.
This vacation was amazing.
Review please :)
