Thanks for all the reviews guys, I know I say it all the time but I really love to read them. It means a lot that you guys like this story, it's been my baby for like 2 years now. Gosh I can't even believe that. I don't know what I'm going to do with no new episodes of OTH until April, that's forever away. It doesn't make sense to me why if they're trying to "save" OTH why do we need such a long hiatus? But getting back on track I'm here with an update. I hope you guys like it.
"So this is the Grand Floridian?" Nathan asked as he pushed Leah's stroller to the front doors of the hotel. The trip down here hadn't been the most fun and they arrived in Orlando only to discover that their time share was being occupied. So they had no choice but to stay at a hotel until they could find a new timeshare to stay at.
"It sure is" Haley said excitedly. Nathan looked at his wife and couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm. Haley loved Disney World and staying at the Grand Floridian was the icing on the cake. "This is the most amazing hotel I've ever been in"
"It is pretty amazing" Brooke said as she carried a sleeping Isaiah. Brooke looked around the lobby of the hotel. It was beautiful white interior and all the floors were open and the entire room was lit by the huge skylights. The whole thing reminded her of being in Savannah, Georgia. It had the most elegant southern feel to it.
"I'm just so excited to be here" Haley said her eyes brimming with tears.
"Aw, Hales" Nathan said pulling his wife into a hug.
"I just feel so lucky to be here. Staying at the Grand Floridian is like taking in the real Disney experience. Dreams do come true here" Haley said into Nathan's chest. "I love this place"
"Where'd Luke go?" Nathan asked looking around the lobby for his brother.
"He is signing in at the desk" Brooke said as she felt Isaiah stir against her. He raised his head off of her shoulder and rubbed his eyes before looking at his mother.
"Hey handsome did you have a good nap?" Brooke kissed Isaiah's chubby cheek softly and watched her son look around the lobby taking in his first experience at Disney World.
"Mama go" Isaiah pointed over to the big gold birdcage that set in the middle of the lobby.
"You see that baby?" Brooke asked "Do you think there are birds in there?"
Isaiah continued to point at the birdcage and nodded his head. Isaiah saw something big and yellow to the side of the birdcage and looked at it before looking at his mother. "Mama"
"What's wrong handsome?" Brooke asked as Isaiah turned his head into hers.
"No no" Isaiah said clinging tighter to her.
"What do you see?" Brooke asked but soon saw what her baby boy was afraid of. "That's just Pluto"
"No no" Isaiah said again and buried his head into Brooke's neck.
"It's ok, we'll go find daddy ok?" Brooke soothed as she rubbed her son's back. Isaiah pulled back and looked at Brooke.
"Dada" Isaiah asked.
"Yeah, daddy" Brooke set Isaiah down on the floor and took a hold of his hand as the two started to walk through the lobby.
"Pluto didn't go over well did he?" Nathan asked as Brooke and Isaiah walked back over to Nathan and Haley.
"Nope" Brooke said. "I hope he doesn't do this at the park"
"He'll be fine" Haley assured as she knelt down in front of Isaiah "Won't you buddy?"
Isaiah let go of Brooke's hand and reached for his aunt but at the last second saw Lucas walking up behind Haley and he took off running to his father.
"Hey buddy" Lucas said leaning down to pick his son up.
"Hi" Isaiah said softly.
"Hey mama, guess what Hannah and I got" Jamie said as he walked up to Nathan and Haley.
"What did you get sweetie?" Haley asked.
"First time visitor pins" Jamie said proudly holding his pin up for his mother to see.
"That's awesome" Haley said. Jamie clearly showed her enthusiasm for the park.
"Let me see it" Nathan said taking a hand off of Leah's stroller to reach for the pin. Nathan took the pin and looked at it. It showed an assortment of Disney Characters and the caption proudly said "FIRST TIME VISITOR" in capital letters. "I want one of these"
"Nathan, you aren't a first time visitor. You've been here before" Haley said.
"So, Haley they don't know that" Nathan said handing the pin back down to Jamie.
"I got one too" Hannah said as she held her pin up for her Uncle Nathan to see.
"I see that H-bug" Nathan said as he heard Leah start to whimper in her stroller.
Nathan turned the stroller around so that his daughter was facing him. "I was wondering when you were going to join us"
Leah sighed and pushed her brown hair out of her eyes before looking for her binky that had fallen out of her mouth during her nap. She successfully found it and plopped it in her mouth before reaching for her father.
"Leah, you are just like your mother" Nathan said as he picked his daughter up and kissed her forehead. "And you need your diaper changed….so let's go see mommy"
"Thank you, Nathan" Haley said as she reached for her daughter who shook her head no at her mother and held onto Nathan tighter.
"I guess she wants you to do it" Haley said smiling before patting her husband on the shoulder.
"Hales, I can't handle poop diapers" Nathan sighed as he watched Haley pick Hannah up and follow Brooke, Lucas, and Jamie to the elevators.
"Daddy poop" Leah said "I poop"
"I know you did" Nathan said as he pushed the stroller with one hand and carried Leah in the other arm. "Let's go to the room and take care of my stinky girl"
That Night
"Is she asleep?" Lucas whispered as he looked over at Brooke who was lying on the other bed that was in their room. Brooke looked down at Hannah who was sound asleep but tangled limbs kept Brooke from getting off the bed.
"Yeah, she's asleep" Brooke whispered back as Lucas turned the bedside light off. He looked over in the pack and play at Isaiah who had been asleep for the last hour. He was thankful that both the kids were asleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day. Lucas dreaded fighting the crowds he really did. They were going to meet Nathan and Haley for breakfast at 7 then go to the park as soon as everyone got ready. They had agreed to just hit two parks tomorrow Hollywood Studios for the first half of the day and then The Magic Kingdom for the evening and the fireworks.
"Do you want come and get in bed with me?" Lucas asked as he flipped through the channels on the TV.
"I'd love to but I'm afraid if I move I'll wake her up" Brooke whispered.
"She'll be fine, Brooke" Lucas said. "You know I can't sleep alone"
"Lucas, we are sharing a room with our 2 kids. I'm not going to have sex with you with our 1 and 3 year old in the room" Brooke whispered sternly.
"I don't want to have sex…I mean I do…but not with you…I mean…not with you tonight" Lucas stammered.
"Just go to sleep, broody" Brooke yawned as she curled deeper under the blanket and pulled Hannah closer to her.
Breakfast
"Can I just say…I feel like a king" Nathan said as he walked back to the table carrying two plates of breakfast food.
"Nathan, you're going to be sick eating all of that" Haley said before she took a bite of her scrambled eggs.
"I need energy, Haley" Nathan explained as he cut his breakfast pizza with a fork. "I'm going to be chasing you and our kids all over the park so I'm going to treat myself…miss 3 cups of coffee"
"It's going to be a long day" Haley shot back.
"Nathan, you don't talk to it until it has at least 5 cups of coffee" Lucas joked as he looked at Haley.
"Lucas, you'll never guess what Brooke and I signed you and the girls up for" Haley said.
"What?" Lucas and Nathan both asked simultaneously.
"Princess Tea Party at Cinderella's Castle" Haley smiled.
"You didn't" Nathan said
"Yeah, and you get your own boa and crown" Haley said to her husband. "I think you should pick pink"
"Haley, Leah isn't old enough to go to that party" Nathan assured.
"Nathan, she's almost 2…she'll be ok. She's got better table manners than you half the time" Haley took a drink of her coffee and looked at her daughter who was eating different things that Jamie was putting on her plate.
"James Lucas Scott, eat your own breakfast" Haley said.
"Mama, she wanted it" Jamie said as he took a sausage link and took a bite of it.
"She's got her own food. You eat yours" Haley looked at Brooke who was cutting up fruit and toast for Isaiah.
"You ready for today, Tigger?" Haley asked.
"I'm getting there. I'm actually really excited, you just can't tell cause Hannah decided she'd keep mommy up all night" Brooke said looking at her daughter who was busy eating a strip of bacon to notice being talked about.
"She tosses and turns like crazy" Haley said "I remember from having naps with her"
"Oh yeah, so I'm running on 4 hours of sleep" Brooke yawned as she picked at her bowl of fruit.
"Brooke, you need to eat more than just fruit" Lucas said as he watched his wife take a bite of watermelon.
"Lucas, I don't want anything else, I'll eat in the park when we have lunch" Brooke assured.
"I'm going to go and get you some real food" Lucas said wiping his mouth before getting up from the table.
"I don't know why he has to insist on things like this" Brooke sighed as she set her fork down on the table.
"Brooke, you really need to eat more than just a few pieces of fruit. It's going to be hot and you need to keep your energy and strength up" Haley said before patting her sister in law's shoulder.
"Look mommy" Hannah said patting Brooke's leg with one hand and pointing with the other. "It's Donald Duck"
"I see that Hannah Banana" Brooke smiled at the happiness that shown in her daughters eyes. She watched as Donald Duck made his rounds around everyone's table and then finally made his way to the Scott family table.
"Look Isaiah" Hannah said to her baby brother as she pointed behind him. Isaiah turned his head backwards and saw Donald duck blow him a kiss. He looked back at Brooke and let out a loud cry before sobs overtook his entire body. He reached his arms out for Brooke and she frowned before picking him up from the highchair and pulling him to her. Donald Duck reacted by covering his eyes and then peeking at Hannah who burst out laughing at the duck in front of her.
"It's ok Isaiah. It's just Donald Duck baby boy" Brooke soothed as she rubbed Isaiah's back as the baby cried.
"No mama no" Isaiah continued to cry as Lucas walked back to the table with a plate of food for Brooke.
"What's wrong? I heard him crying all the way over there" Lucas asked concerned.
"Nothing, he just pretty much hates Disney World and we haven't even been to the park yet" Brooke sighed as she swayed with her son in her arms. "What are we going to do Lucas? I can't take him to the park if this is all he's going to do. I'm not going to do that to him"
"Let me take him" Lucas said holding his arms out to Isaiah. "You finish eating"
Brooke handed a still whimpering Isaiah to Lucas and sat down at the table.
"Where's daddy going?" Hannah asked looking at her mother.
"Daddy's taking Isaiah for a walk. You eat your breakfast" Brooke explained.
"I want to go for a walk with daddy" Hannah pouted as she sat back in her chair and folded her arms over her chest.
"Hannah you need to eat" Brooke said.
"I want to go with daddy" Hannah narrowed her eyes at Brooke and pointed to where Lucas was walking.
"Hannah Alexis Scott, if you don't finish your plate then you are just going to have to stay at the hotel alone while we all go to Disney World without you" Brooke shook her head and looked at Haley.
"I don't know why Disney World has turned my kids evil" Brooke sighed.
"We haven't even been here a full 24 hours either" Nathan added.
"Thank you Nathan" Brooke looked at her plate of food and just the look of the food made her want to throw up.
"You ok?" Haley asked looking at Brooke.
"Yeah, I'm just not hungry" Brooke assured pushing the plate of bacon, potatoes, and scrambled eggs away from her.
"Mama, can I take Leah over to see Daisy Duck?" Jamie asked looking at Haley.
"Not right now sweetie" Haley said.
"Why not?" Jamie asked looking at Haley.
"Because I said so Jamie. We're getting ready to go back to the room and get ready for the park" Haley said.
"Okay" Jamie sighed.
One Hour Later
"No daddy" Leah said as Nathan applied sun screen to his daughter's tiny body. "I naked"
"Leah, daddy has seen underwear before" Nathan explained to his daughter as he rubbed the white lotion on Leah's back and shoulders.
"Mommy do it" Leah said pushing his hands away.
"Leah, mommy is getting the tickets together and our bags packed. The sooner you let daddy get you ready the sooner we can go ride rides and see Cinderella" Nathan explained.
"Hurry daddy" Leah said raising her bare arms above her head.
"That's what I thought" Nathan said before he tickled Leah's belly and caused her to laugh "Silly girl"
Brooke and Lucas's Room
"It's going to be a lot of fun. I know it's going to be busy but I can't wait to see the kids' face when they see the park" Lucas said smiling.
"It's going to be really nice" Brooke said as she watched Hannah and Isaiah play on the floor. She yawned and pulled the blanket over her higher over her.
"You ok Pretty Girl?" Lucas asked
"Yeah, I'm just tired" Brooke said as she looked over at Lucas who was putting the tickets for the park in his wallet.
"I can take the kids and you can stay here and get some rest if you want to" Lucas offered.
"Lucas, no. That's not fair to you and besides it's our vacation and I want to spend it with my family" Brooke assured.
"I know baby, but I don't want you being exhausted the whole time" Lucas said concerned.
"Luke, I'm ok" Brooke said forcing a smile. The truth is she was exhausted she wanted to just lie in bed and sleep for days.
"I'm going to go and see if Nate and Haley are ready" Lucas said as he slipped his shoes on. He walked to the adjoining door and knocked only to be greeted by Haley.
"I can't find our tickets" Haley said panicking.
"What do you mean?" Lucas asked I saw you with them earlier.
"I know that Lucas" Haley said as she dug through her purse.
"You know what they say, they'll be the last place you look" Lucas joked trying to lighten the mood.
"I know that Lucas, cause when I find them I'm not going to have to look for them anymore" Haley shot.
"Haley, just breathe. Where were you the last time you had them?" Lucas asked.
"I know I sat them down on the counter. I told Nathan they needed to be put away for safe keeping" Haley sighed and pulled at her ponytail.
"You ok mama?" Jamie asked walking to his mother.
"Jamie have you seen the park tickets?" Haley asked.
"Yeah, I have them" Jamie said pulling them out of his back pocket.
"Thank god" Haley exhaled deeply and took them from her son. "When did you get these?"
"Dad gave them to me to hold" Jamie said looking over at his father who was trying to keep from laughing.
"You knew he had these the whole time?" Haley asked narrowing her eyes at Nathan.
"Well yeah" Nathan said.
"You're such a jerk Nathan" Haley said walking past him.
"Hales, it was a joke" Nathan said reaching for his wife's arm.
"You want to hear a joke?" Haley asked walking up to Nathan, wrapping her arms around him, before leaning in close to him "You won't be getting any for a LONG time for that little stunt"
Lucas looked at Nathan and Haley "We'll meet you guys in the lobby"
Lucas walked back out of Nathan and Haley's room and found Brooke fastening Isaiah into his stroller. "I hope you like the park buddy" Brooke said before kissing Isaiah's cheek softly.
"You excited mommy?" Hannah asked as she tried to push the visor up on her hat so she could see her mother better.
"Yeah, mommy's excited. Do you want to ride with your brother in the stroller?" Brooke asked looking down at Hannah.
"No" Hannah said taking a step back from Brooke "I a big girl"
"We'll see if you're still singing that tune when you get tired" Brooke said smiling down at her daughter.
"We go to tea party now, daddy?" Hannah asked looking at Lucas.
"No baby girl. Thank god that we go to that tomorrow" Lucas sighed. He could only imagine the horror that awaited him and his brother.
"Are we ready?" Hannah asked.
"We are ready" Brooke smiled "Make sure you hold onto the stroller or my or daddy's hand when we get on the tram to go to the park"
"Ok mommy" Hannah said as she walked to the door. "Let's go see Mickey Mouse"
