Chapter 47 - The Prince & Princess of Disney: Jaxon and Ariel Fabray
Rachel stood in the kitchen area, rummaging through the backpack, checking to make sure they had everything they could possibly need for their first day at Disney World. Snacks for Jaxon for when he got hungry (plus snacks for Santana for when she got cranky), sunscreen, extra hats, wet wipes, and several other miscellaneous items that would make their day easier.
"Where's Jaxon," she asked as Quinn came out of the bedroom, brushing her hair.
"Brittany came and got him a little while ago. She said she had a surprise for him," Quinn said, wrapping her arms around Rachel's waist and resting her chin on her shoulder. She watched her girlfriend go through the backpack again. "Is everything ready?"
"Yep. All we need now is our son."
Just as the singer finished the sentence, the suite door opened and Brittany bounced in, a huge smile on her face. "We're here!" she exclaimed.
Rachel turned toward the door, but didn't see anyone else following the dancer. "Where's Jaxon?"
Brittany grinned. "Come on out, Jax! … Oh! I mean - Your Highness," she called out.
Stepping through the doorway and standing with his hands on his hips was an exact miniature replica of Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid. From his white collared shirt to his blue pants, and the red sash tied around his waist and the black boots. Brittany had even combed Jaxon's hair back to top off the full effect.
"Oh my!" Quinn exclaimed, her hand coming up to her heart. "I didn't know royalty was going to be visiting us this morning!"
Rachel just stood in shock, staring at her little boy's transformation. It was uncanny how much he looked just like Prince Eric.
The little boy giggled. "Mama! It's me!" he said, running over to Quinn.
The blonde bent down and pulled her son into her arms. "You look so handsome, my prince. Did Brittany get you all dressed up?"
He nodded enthusiastically. "Uh huh! She said we see Ariel at breakfast!"
Quinn's eyes widened as a smile filled her face. "I bet we do since we're going to Cinderella's Royal Table for breakfast."
"Really?!" he exclaimed, looking back over to his blonde aunt and seeing the excitement on her face.
Brittany nodded. "We sure are! And since it's Cinderella's house, I bet a lot of her princess friends will be there too."
"Let's go!" Jaxon yelled, pulling Quinn toward the door, not stopping to see if anyone else was following them.
~~~~~QR~~~~~
The little entourage headed toward Cinderella's Royal Table to have breakfast. Santana was in a rare giddy mood, mostly due to her girlfriend's extremely high excitement level. And Rachel had learned early on that when Brittany was happy, Santana was happy. The singer put it down to the blonde dancer giving the Latina more sexy times.
As they walked up to the large doors, Rachel was in awe of how beautiful the place was. Inside she took in the size and grandeur of the dining room. Several flags hung from the tall ceiling and the lighting was soft, creating a magical feeling.
"Wow," Jaxon breathed as he stepped up beside his brunette mother. "Beau'ful."
They approached the reservations podium and were greeted with, "Welcome to Cinderella's Royal Table! Do you have a reservation?"
The teen who stood excitedly before them was obviously being well paid, Santana thought to herself with a roll of her eyes as they followed the chipper girl to their table. She highly doubted there would be any other reason for anyone to be that excited about Cinderella and her friends.
Moments after sitting down, another chipper girl approached their table. "Good morning! You can call me Jennifer, I'm going to be your server today!"
Noticing that Jaxon kept looking all around the room searching for something, or more likely someone, Matt couldn't help but tease the little boy. "I like your outfit, Jax. I didn't know you liked Ariel so much."
Jaxon swung his head back to look at the bodyguard with wide eyes.
Rachel tried to hide her giggle. The hell Matt didn't know!
Jaxon gasped in horror, "No say that, Matt! What if she hears and no thinks I love her?!" he exclaimed, his voice full of astonished fear. He quickly looked around as if to check for any signs of the redheaded princess. Satisfied that she hadn't heard, he turned back to the bodyguard. "Me sing 'Under Sea' all the time!" He shook his head in disgust at the bodyguard's lack of information.
It took everything within Rachel not to laugh out loud because her kid was so awesome, it was highly unfair to all the other kids in the world.
Matt exaggeratedly widened his eyes, "Oh! That's right! How could I forget?"
Jennifer came back after giving them time to look over the menu.
"My son would like to have a Royal Children's Breakfast. He'd like a glass of chocolate milk with that please," Quinn ordered for Jaxon, who looked up at Jennifer and nodded his head to confirm, and then added on a, "Yes, peas."
"Sure thing, Prince Eric!" The waitress jotted it down and then looked back at Quinn to get her order.
"I'd like the Caramel Apple Stuffed French Toast and a glass of orange juice," Quinn told her politely as she closed the menu and handed it to her.
"Great choice!" She took the menu and then turned to Rachel. Her smile slipped a little as her eyes popped out of her head. But she did a remarkable job of pulling herself back together quickly. "And for you, ma'am?"
Rachel smiled at the girl. "I'd like a coffee as well as the Beef Tenderloin and Eggs."
"Hmmm," Quinn hummed at her girlfriend's choice of food. "That sounds wonderful, Rach. I'm going to have to eat some of yours."
Rachel leaned in close to the blonde's ear and husked quietly, "You can eat anything of mine, baby. As long as you let me return the favor."
Quinn's eyes glazed over in lust. But before she could do anything about it, Santana interrupted her fantasy.
"Put it back in your pants, Q. The day hasn't even begun yet."
Quinn threw a dirty look over at her best friend. "Shut it, San. You have no idea what these hormones are doing to my body."
"Yeah, and I better never know. It's your own fault for getting knocked up… again," the Latina teased.
"Can we all shut up now," Rachel cut in, her teeth clenched together as she glanced toward the waitress and the other patrons sitting around them. "There are certain things we don't want to advertize to the entire world yet."
They all quieted down and finished ordering.
Jennifer wrote down the last order and said, "I'll be right back with your drinks, unless you want me to bring them out with your food?"
Rachel shook her head, knowing she couldn't go much longer without her caffeine fix. "No, no. Please do bring the coffees now, I'm in need of a boost in the a.m."
Jennifer laughed and nodded, "You got it! I'll be right back then!"
Jaxon hadn't been paying any attention to the adults as he was beyond preoccupied by everything around him.
Just as promised, Jennifer was back quickly with everyone's drinks. She handed out the cups of coffee, sugar and cream. She also set down glasses of orange juice for Quinn and Brittany, and chocolate milk for Jaxon, slipping a straw in the cup for him.
Rachel immediately dove for her coffee, foregoing all add-ons for her first cup.
Quinn just rolled her eyes at Rachel's antics and sipped her orange juice much more calmly.
When their food arrived, Rachel actually laughed when Jaxon saw the plateful of waffles that were constructed into a boat, being placed in front of him, and she was glad that Quinn had caught sight of their food coming and thought to record Jaxon's adorable wide-eyed reaction.
"I eat this?!" Jaxon exclaimed, giggling excitedly and very carefully scooting forward so that he could reach his food even better.
"Yep, that's all yours," Rachel told him.
Jaxon enthusiastically dug in.
Midway through their impressively delicious breakfast, Jaxon seemed to freeze in the middle of talking to Rachel. He just completely stopped moving. If there hadn't been other movement and sound still happening all around them in the dining area, Rachel would have thought time actually stopped.
"Jax? Are you okay?" Quinn asked gently, noticing her son's frozen expression.
"Ariel," Jaxon whispered in awe. He was facing the entrance to the dining area and just stared as the beautiful underwater princess strolled in.
Santana, badass as she was, could admit when something was too cute for words. And the awestruck child in front of her, hardly breathing in fear of causing the redhead princess to disappear, was the epitome of too cute for words.
Quinn pulled out her phone and pressed Record.
Now, Quinn Fabray loved Rachel Berry with all of her heart and soul… but she had to admit that if the brunette diva wasn't in her life, she would for sure be banging that gloriously beautiful Ariel in her bed later that night. Guaranteed. That long luxurious auburn hair as it flowed through her fingers; and this princess' hair was real! Not some tacky red wig like most Ariels. The woman was gorgeous and Quinn envisioned taking her on the bed, spreading her legs wide and-
Her eyes widened in shock. What the hell was wrong with her?! The woman was a Disney Princess for hell's sake!
Damn hormones!
However, Quinn wasn't the only woman at the table with dirty thoughts of Ariel.
"Oh my! What is that amazing smell?" the redhead princess exclaimed as she approached their table and took in a deep breath, shutting her eyes. A smile grew on her lips as she crouched down beside Jaxon's seat. Her piercing blue eyes met the little boy's chocolate brown. "It smells like cinnamon! And cinnamon is my favorite!"
Jaxon blushed from the princess' attention. "I love cinn'min too," he quietly told her.
Ariel's eyes lit up. "You do? You must be my Prince then!" she exclaimed, a brilliant smile on her face as she held her arms out to Jaxon, appraising his outfit. "I've been looking everywhere for you!" She picked him up out of his chair and spun him around in her arms.
Jaxon giggled and held tightly to his princess. "Uh huh! I Prince!" he told her with every ounce of confidence in his three year old body.
Ariel set Jaxon's feet back on the carpet and knelt down to his level. "I'm so glad I found you!" She leaned over and kissed him on his cheek, leaving a red lipstick print. "Will you introduce me to your family, my prince?" She looked up at the table where four women and two men were sitting, every one of them with their phones out, recording the event.
Jaxon grinned and held his hand out for Ariel. "Yep! Come on!" He tugged her closer to his table and Rachel swore she had never seen her son so happy before. "That's my mama," he told the princess, pointing to Quinn. Then he turned to Rachel, "And my Mom 'Chel. She a singer like you!"
Ariel shook Quinn's hand, then her eyes lit up with happiness as she looked at Rachel. "Really? She loves to sing?" she asked Jaxon.
"Uh huh. Me sing too!"
Ariel giggled. "Well, how about after you finish introducing me to your family, we can sing a song together?"
Jaxon's eyes bugged out of his skull. "Me sing with you?!"
Ariel nodded.
Jaxon quickly introduced the rest of the table to the underwater princess, then turned back to her expectantly.
"Are you ready?" she asked him.
He nodded excitedly.
She bent down and whispered something in his ear. He grinned and nodded again.
For the next ten minutes the dining room was entertained by Ariel and Jaxon as they sang songs from 'The Little Mermaid'. Rachel was quite impressed. She'd heard her son sing the songs hundreds of times, but to see him standing in front of an audience with his princess by his side, was a remarkable experience.
After the impromptu concert, Jaxon look at his singing partner, "Ariel! We gonna be here a whole week!" he exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly with his hands.
Princess Ariel gasped happily, "All week! Right here? You mean I might see you around again?"
"Uh huh!" Jaxon said.
"That's exciting!" She knelt down next to him and looked into his bright eyes. "You know, I think you are a better singer than all of the other princes I've ever met. What is your name, my prince?"
He blushed. "Jaxon," he told her.
Her face lit up. "Prince Jaxon! I love it!"
Quinn lightly nudged her son, holding up his autograph book. "Jax…"
"Oh! Ariel, please have your au'graph?" he asked, his Berry watt smile in full effect.
The princess' eyes brightened as she smiled charmingly, "Of course, my prince! I would be honored!"
Quinn handed over Jaxon's autograph notebook and a pen, which the three year old then regally handed over to the princess. Ariel took the book and wrote a long message to the little boy, kissing the bottom of the page to leave her mark.
"Please have a hug?" Jaxon asked before Ariel needed to move on to the other diners.
Ariel gave him an enthusiastic nod, "Yes please! I love hugs, especially when they're with a handsome prince!"
Jaxon giggled and wrapped his little arms around his princess' neck. "I love you, Ariel," he whispered in her ear.
Quinn captured the moment on camera, and was so thankful that the woman was being so sweet to her little boy.
"I love you too, my Prince Jaxon," she told him as they pulled apart.
"Mom 'Chel used love you as much as me, but now she love Elsa," Jaxon told her, turning and rolling his eyes at his brunette mother.
Quinn couldn't help but laugh at her girlfriend's stunned expression.
"I-I still love Ariel!" the singer insisted. "Everyone loves Ariel!"
"But, Mom 'Chel," Jaxon reprimanded, "I heard you tell Puck Elsa has nice boobs!"
The table went silent for several beats. Brittany was the first to cracked up and she couldn't stop laughing.
Quinn turned to her girlfriend, her eyebrow raised in challenge. "Elsa has nice boob huh?"
Rachel sputtered for a few moments before turning on her son, "Jaxon! You're not supposed to tell anyone that!"
Jaxon giggled and hid behind Ariel's dress.

The morning at the Magic Kingdom went smoothly, much to Rachel and Quinn's relief. Many people gawked at Rachel, but only a few dared to approach her. When asked for an autograph or a picture with her, the singer would smile brightly, but politely declined, explaining that she was with her family on vacation and didn't want her celebrity to cause any problems or take anything away from the magic of Disney World to all those at the park. Thankfully they were all understanding and wished the family a good holiday before returning to their previous activities.
After hours of riding Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Astro Orbiter, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Aladdin's Flying Carpet, Rachel was tired. And her feet were killing her.
The group sat at a table near some food stands, eating corndogs, burgers, fries and drinks for lunch. Everyone was having a great time, especially Jaxon. He just kept going from one ride to the next like he was running on an Energizer battery. But Rachel knew it wouldn't be long before the little boy crashed.
"After lunch I'm going to take Jax back to the hotel for a nap," Quinn whispered in Rachel's ear.
Rachel glanced over at their son eating his corndog and could see the tiredness in his eyes, but knew the little boy was trying to fight it. She nodded her head. "Good idea. I'll send Ben back with you to make sure you guys stay safe."
Quinn smiled and kissed her girlfriend on the lips.
When lunch ended, Quinn announced that she and Jaxon were going back to the hotel, much to the little boy's protests. She told the group that they would see them back at the hotel in a few hours.
Once Quinn, Jaxon and Ben left, the remaining group decided to hit some of the big rides since Jaxon wasn't with them.
"I wanna ride the Aerosmith roller coaster!" Brittany squealed, her eyes bright.
"Yeah, let's go there," Santana agreed with her girlfriend.
"Hell no, Lopez! The last thing we need is you puking all over everyone," Rachel protested. "I still remember when you were with us on tour and we went to that amusement park. I swear your stomach can't handle any rides bigger than the kiddie ones."
Santana gave the singer a glare. "Shut it, Berry, I'm going."
"Well, at least bring a barf bag," Rachel told her. "And you're sitting far away from me."
After the roller coaster - in which Santana did in fact vomit, but at least it was after they got off - the group headed for the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride then over to the Haunted Mansion. Matt definitely lost a few badass points inside the scary attraction. Rachel giggled when the ghosts had suddenly appeared in front of Matt, and the tough bodyguard screamed like a little girl.
After their recovery, they headed for the Twilight Zone's Tower of Terror - Rachel's absolute favorite ride.
"This ride is gonna put your stomach in your throat, literally. And I swear, Lopez, if you puke again-" Rachel growled at her friend.
Santana rolled her eyes. "I'll be fine," she assured them, although she gripped Brittany's hand a little tighter.
"Hey, San, sit in the front," Matt warned quickly as they stepped into the ride. "If you do toss cookies, at least no one gets blindsided."
"Yeah, that's a good idea, San," Brittany agreed and pulled her girlfriend to the front row of seats.
"You guys are being childish assholes," Santana snapped.
"Really, Santana?" Rachel snorted. "Tell that to the poor trash can over by Aerosmith's roller coaster. I think it would say we're being completely logical."
"Or you can ask Pluto," Matt pointed out. "He was standing right next to it. I could tell that at first he thought Santana was running to give him a hug. I wish I could've seen the look on his face beneath that giant dog head!"
The Latina scoffed. "Shut up, you bitches. Just buckle your asses in, it's about to start."
As the elevator ascended subtly, a manic grin spread across Rachel's face. She knew this was about to become legendary.
"Hey," Matt whispered to the singer. "What does this ride do any-ahhhhhhh!"
Before he could finish the question, the elevator suddenly plummeted back down toward the ground. Matt squealed in terror, his voice again an exact replica of a little girl's.
Santana and Brittany were yelling their heads off. Then the elevator stopped, and it ascended again but not for long before it dropped again. The ride actually did, in fact, make it feel like your stomach was in your throat, and then as if it had dropped right out of your body. At one point, the elevator whooshed forward down a hall full of little ghost girls that freaked them all out before suddenly dropping again. When it stopped, they thought it was finally over. Nope, it dropped again.
"ENOUGH!" Santana screamed in horror, her fingernails drawing blood on Brittany's arm. "STOP THE DAMN RIDE BEFORE I ENDS YOU!"
Rachel cackled in glee as she held her arms high above her head.
Matt was just about in tears by this point as the elevator dove down once more, thunder shaking the ride.
At last, it finally came to another halt, and most of the group held their breath, praying that the doors would open and their nightmare would end. And the moment it did, they all quickly unbuckled and stumbled off of the ride.
"Dude, that was awesome!" Rachel yelled, her eyes large and bright from the adrenaline rush.
Matt was doubled over trying to catch his breath, while Santana's lips were pursed tight, her face slightly green. Brittany rubbed comforting circles on the small of her girlfriend's back, kissing her head softly.
After recovering, they hit another roller coaster - another mixture of Matt screaming and Rachel chortling. And after that, the Indiana Jones ride. Rachel lasted the entire day without so much as a holler, that was until they hit Splash Mountain. But she claimed that the incident wasn't her fault! The third row always received the most water from the splash, and Rachel's small size didn't help her in surviving nearly being drowned.
They rode a few more attractions before heading back to the hotel to check on the other three members of their group.
