The first 3 shows were amazing, it only got better and better as they slowly got used to the pace of everything, from getting ready to meeting the fans and performing for the fans.

"Florida has been great but we also can't wait for Atlanta because we get to see family."
"Yeah, Mimi and Yeye live here, plus Lola flew over a few days ago for Isabella's birthday."
"My baby is turning 18!"

With the show and the dinner party being prepared while on the road, it was bound to be such an exhausting day. The concert was moved a couple hours early so everything before that was also moved.
It was 8 am and everyone was dragging their feet to the dressing room.
Michelle sat down the chair as she was handed the schedule.
8:00 am- 9:30 am: Hair and makeup
9:30 am - 10:30 am: Soundcheck
10:30 am - 12:00 pm: Meet and Greet
12:00 pm- 2:00 pm: Lunch/break
2:00 pm- 6:00 pm: show
6:00 pm- 7:00 pm: Hair and makeup/photoshoot
7:00 pm- onwards: 18th Birthday dinner
The schedule was jam-packed but Michelle and Christen were looking forward to celebrate their eldest being legal.
Looking at her daughter through the mirror, she waited until they made eye contact and when they did, she pointed at her using her lips and her eyebrows pointed to the direction of the chair beside her. Everyone watched in amusement, especially Christen who was just sitting beside her getting her hair straightened, as Isabella reluctantly made her way over there.
"I'm gonna give you something."
Isabella waited patiently and watched as her mother brought her wallet out and handed her a credit card.
"Since you are now legal, this now belongs to you."
Isabella looked up in shock before slowly grabbing it from her mom's hand.
"Seriously?"
Michelle chuckled and nodded her head.
Isabella had always had a fascination on credit cards, wanting to have one of her own. She spent a lot of time with Santana and Brittany growing up and they LOVED swiping their cards and she saw the power it holds.
Also getting to do and buy stuff without her mom knowing because she would then need to ask her for money was a relief. The amount of times she tried to surprise her mother but failed because she straight up had to tell her her plans annoyed her.
"How much is in this?"
"By in this you mean... your bank account?"
Isabella nodded and watched as Christen handed Michelle her what seemed to her as her bank statements. She got the papers and her eyes bulged when she saw what was on the paper.
Account Current Balance: $259,935,139
"Is this real? Fuck if this is how much money my bank account has imagine you and Mama's."
"Included in there are some of the allowances and stuff from soccer, your album sales, money from Abuelo and 5% of what I had been earning ever since you were a little girl."
"Just 5 percent?" Isabella asked jokingly.
"Hey, I brought food to the table right? And bitch look at all that money you now have because of that 5 percent."
Isabella chuckled and brought the paper down to bring her mother in a hug. She sat back down, her eyes drifting back to the paper and Michelle noticed this.
"I know there are a lot of things going on in your mind, like how to spend that money but I want to remind you to be smart with your money. So, what you gonna buy with it first?"
Isabella felt herself smirk before standing up to grab her phone.
"Please excuse me while I go make a couple of phone calls."
Mitch and Christen looked at each other confused.
"You'll know in time, but after this, I want ice cream."
The door shut leaving everyone in the room amused.
"The first thing she wants to buy is ice cream?"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And ice cream she bought, gallons and gallons of ice cream.
Meet and greet became more interesting when a bunch of people came rolling in, handing everyone in the room ice cream of different flavors.
Isabella came in last, a small grin on her face as she watched the fans that were still in line, happily eating the ice cream that was just provided.
Michelle walked over to her daughter, clearly not expecting this at all.
"You know, I didn't expect this to be your first purchase."
Isabella looked at her Mom with a grin on her face.
"Well it's a good thing you know me so well. It's not my first purchase."
They spent the rest of the day enjoying the show and having a blast at the small Victorian style dinner party at Yeye and Mimi's home.

In the middle of Isabella, Bailey, Kaycee and Sean's set, Bailey sneaked out while they were performing You and Jennifer, and brought in a cake. The fans screamed when they saw it but the dancer just put her finger up to her lips to shush them. Isabella looked at them confused but before she could question anything, cake was smashed on her face.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABELLA!!!"
Isabella froze in shock, wiping her face before starting to chase Bailey around the stage.
.
"CAN WE HAVE ISABELLA OUT HERE PLEASE?!"
Isabella felt herself blush as she was pushed into the stage, in front of thousands of screaming fans. Billie gave her a warm smile and reached her hand out to her.
"I wanna personally welcome you to the adult world and greet you a happy birthday, this song is dedicated to you babes."
.
Confetti flew down and into the stage as they rolled out a huge cake.
"What is it with you people and cake?"
"Bitch it's your birthday, just go along with it."
Everyone chuckled at the mother-daughter tandem.

MichelleMartins: Almost burnt down my grandparents' house but anything for @isabellapress I guess?
Happy 18th my love!
18 years of being your mother and I still couldn't believe that you came out of my vagina (wanted to write pussy but Christen stopped me). But I love you, you are literally the person who had kept me going all these years and I couldn't be any more proud of you. I'm gonna keep this short and sweet because you're a bully and would laugh at me when I get too sappy.
I love you to the end of the Milky way and back and please try your best to not run over people once you get your licence.
And for the love of God, please don't do anything for you to end up in jail. I ain't bailing you out.

christenpress: Happy 18th to my beautiful eldest daughter @isabellapress!! 💋
It has been an honor to be your Mama for the last 7-ish years of your life. I still couldn't believe how much connected we are. I still feel super giddy everytime you come to me for advice, or to just catch up and they are always one of my favorite times.
You are the most beautiful, caring, intelligent, funny, witty, talented, and so many more adjectives ever. Words couldn't explain how thankful I am for both you and your mom. You, Aquila and Diana are literally the light of our lives.
I hope you enjoyed dinner tonight. I LOVE YOUUU 💞
