It has been 3 days since they were in Monaco. They visited many places, touring Monaco. And for tonight, they'll have birthday dinner with everyone at the hotel. That's what they've been telling Elia. But what Elia didn't know was that they rented a whole hall in the hotel to hold her surprise birthday party.
And also, Sebastian is gonna propose to Elizabeth.
These past few days, they've visited many places that are kid friendly but still for all of them to enjoy the whole trip. They got to go to Flower fields, butterfly gardens and art museums.
It was all a happy trip, Elia got to explore more, always excited in learning about the culture in the new place, learning about new things.
And for now, they were all getting ready for Elia's surprise birthday party. Elia has done getting ready, she's just waiting in the living room scrolling her phone all alone.
To say she was nervous is an understatement. She has this weird feeling in her stomach like something bad gonna happen soon which she did not know when. It is starting to get exhausting to her mental and physically waiting for the other shoe to drop.
"You've been repeating the same video for about 19 minutes. Penny for your thoughts?" Isaac said sitting next to her. She didn't even realize when Isaac came sat next to her.
"I feel like something bad is going to happen and I don't know when. It's just like I'm really waiting for the other shoe to drop and then, there it is. There goes the problem that will destroy happiness." Elia said quietly. She didn't want anyone to hear this.
"Are you thinking about tonight?" Isaac asks
"To be honest, I'm not. It's about tomorrow. I don't think things will go south for tonight because I have strong feeling that tonight will go smooth" Elia exclaimed
Isaac just gulped scarily because he too has this feeling about tomorrow. They just sat there in silence thinking about it. Something's definitely gonna be wrong either tonight or tomorrow.
"I am excited to give my mom the song I wrote about her and everyone." Elia broke the silence, changing the subject and Isaac just turns and smiles at her.
"I'm sure she'll be thrilled and she'll cry" Isaac said chuckling
"Oh, everyone will cry. I can guarantee you that" Elia replied giggling
"You could do live in front of them tonight at dinner" Isaac suggest
"What? We're eating at the hotel Isa, there's a lot of people there. I can't leak my song that didn't release yet" Elia exclaimed with soft chuckles
"Elia, your parents rented the whole restaurant in the hotel for you. There are not gonna be other people other than us and the workers there" Isaac informs her
"What? They rented the whole restaurant?" Elia asks in shocked
"Yeah, it's for inner circle only. Want to make it special for your first birthday celebration. The birth of Eliana Adelaine Olsen" Isaac chuckles
Elia just smiles at that. Mixed emotions all come at once.
"Hey, we're just gonna focus on tonight first okay? It's your first birthday dinner with our big whole family. And even something gonna happen tomorrow, I promise you, I'll be there for you like always. I'll protect you from whatever it is. Nothing bad will happen to you. None of us here will let anything happen to you ever again." Isaac said assuring his best friend, his soul mate
"Yeah, I know. But it didn't stop to scare the shit out of me" Elia said.
There it is! She cusses for the first time. Isaac just look at Elia in shocked
"OO! OO!!!! OOOO!!!!" Isaac shouts in surprise, making Elia look at him confusedly and worriedly. Everyone could hear Isaac shouts they rush to the source of the shouts
"What?!" Elia asks panicking
"YOU- YOU SAID- "Isaac stutters and then grins. Then, Elia remembered what she said. She goes shut his mouth with her hands
"SHUT UP ISA! PEOPLE CAN'T KNOW ABOUT IT! MOM GONNA BE MAD! SO, SHUT YOUR MOUTH" Elia said hissing in her low voice
Everyone came running to the living room see Elia hands on Isaac mouth threatening him
"Elia?" Lizzie called and Isaac could see Elia's face change into scared and her eyes widen
"Yes mama?" Elia replied unsure and not looking at her back knowing everyone was there.
"What's happening?" Andrea asks
"Nothing" Both kids replied in unison making everyone raised their eyebrow not believing what the kids just said
"Eliana Adelaine Olsen" Lizzie said sternly
"Mama?" Elia replied sweetly
"Please?" Lizzie said sighing knowing this will not be easy to let her tell them the truth
"It's- we- I- There's kids here" Elia said stuttering. She can't even look at Lizzie or Sebastian. Every single time because she knows she'll fall for it. The same goes for their parents or everyone as a matter of fact.
"It's PG18" Isaac help her
"On your phone again?" Sebastian asks remembering the last incident it happens
"Yes," Isaac replied instead. They all could see Elia shivering at the memories of it, she scrunches her face in disgust.
"Well, I think we should go now. I'm hungry and everyone looks like they are ready" Ashley said, interfering in the awkward tension that's been going around right now.
"GOOD IDEA! I'M STARVING. Now, come on people" Elia said looking directly at them and beaming up.
They all go into the premium luxury bus.
The teenagers all seated in this lounge area with Rose, Exton and Gwyneth kids. The other kids just stay clung to their parents for the time being.
They did spend their time with the teen as they saw them as their big bro and sissy. Gwyneth's eldest is the same age as Elia and Jamie. So, they immediately clicked together.
Meanwhile with the adults,
"Her social media is getting worse. I don't know how to ban it from her devices. It just pops out in the middle of nowhere" Lizzie said sighing
"That's just how social media works. It came out of nowhere no matter how much we prevent it" MK said
"Pity her. The problems are, it's mostly a freaking horny teenager who made the edit. I'm not hating it but when Elia saw that, she's really traumatized about it" Seb said chuckling
They all fall into a pit of laughter. They made conversation waiting to arrive at the hotel. Seb was utterly nervous. Mackie and Chris could see it through his eyes.
-30 minutes later-
They've arrived at the hotel. They are being welcomed by the Manager and the CEO of the hotel about their arrival.
They got inside and walked to the one of the hall rooms that was full with designated birthday decoration for Eliana Adelaine Olsen 14th birthday.
The surprise is about to begin each step closer to the hall room. Isaac with his vlog camera on his hands recording it, Sebastian too with his vlogging camera. Elia walks in front of her mother. Lizzie is just protective like that even over small things. She'll not let Elia walk alone or walk behind her. Elia will always be in front of her no matter what.
So, when they were in front of the door, the hotel staff opened the two gigantic doors in front of Eliana and the confetti popped out startling Elia. Elia was shocked and surprised as hell
"SURPRISE!" Everyone shouts excitedly. Isaac and Sebastian pointing their camera at Elia who still look astounded by the whole thing.
She lost her words completely. Didn't know what to say, she feels loved, she feels appreciated and most importantly she feels happy.
"Happy 14th birthday in advance my sweet baby doll" Sebastian said sweetly
Elia then broke her stunned smile with tears starting to form in her eyes. She looks behind her everyone with their camera recording her except for her mother who just look at her also with tears
Elia goes to her mother hugging Lizzie tightly while Lizzie returns the gesture
"Happy 14th birthday my sweet little missy. Mommy loves you so much" Lizzie said, whispering sweetly to Elia. Elia just let her tears streaming down into her face
She pulls away and looks at her mother with her sweetest smiles ever. They all just awed at the interaction between the mother-daughter.
Elia then goes to her father and does the same like her mother. Seb too couldn't control the tears from his eyes.
They all then go inside and continue their surprise birthday party by eating first because they indeed are starving.
There's a stage set up and then candy booth, photo booth. Elia also just noticed that they'd have a videographer. Her parents must've hired them then.
And the most important thing that she caught in her eyes is the music instrument all set up next to the set-up stage. It's piano, guitar, bass guitar, violin and drum.
She has an idea that she'll give to them.
Elia then whispers to Isaac
"I think I'm gonna give them my surprise for them tonight" Elia whispers quietly and pointing to the piano.
Isaac just grinned at that thought. Everyone in this didn't hear Elia singing on live yet except for her aunt MK and aunt Ashley.
Mackie and Sebastian caught Elia whispers and point at the piano and Isaac grinning making them shouts in excitement
"OH! ELIA GONNA SING TONIGHT!" Mackie and Elia's dad shouts excitedly, making everyone smile wider when they see Elia just smiles and laughing at the two grown men.
"Oh, I have a surprise for you guys actually. Since you guys surprise me, I thought why not return the gesture" Elia said smirking
"WUHO!" the men cheered excitedly
Elia gets up from her seat with Isaac trail along with her to the music corner. The adults were ready with their phone on their hand recording it. Elia then goes whispering again to Isaac which makes Isa look at her with his proud smiles and nod his head
Elia grabs the microphone, sitting at the piano testing the tune, and then the microphone.
"Well, hello dear family" Elia started and chuckles
"So, as you know my name is Eliana Adelaine Olsen. I'm gonna officially be 14 tomorrow. This is my first time ever celebrating my birthday like this. Before this, I only had Isaac, Aunt Andrea and Uncle Jax's family. Sometimes, it's just me, myself and I. I want to thank you all of you for making me the happiest girl in my whole life. I am so happy to see how far I've come. You guys bring the best of me. Especially to the woman with whom I share my last name. The woman who I am proud to call my mama. The mother that I never got. She gives me everything. Though, we're not sharing the same DNA but she loves me like her own. She was there for me in my darkest time. Mama, you showed up and turned my whole life upside down. You showed me what it's like to be cared for, to be appreciated, to be loved, you are my own real-life superhero. You saved me and for that I love you to infinity and beyond. Would never stop even if I stopped breathing." Elia said her speeches that come naturally out of her mouth
Everyone who's watching this has tears streaming down hearing her speeches. They all have mixed emotions but they all are so happy they've got to make this girl feel what she deserved to be feeling.
"And for that, this song is I made for all of you guys. It's gonna be my first single. I've already recorded it and am just waiting for Taylor to release it. These songs will mostly point to my mama and papa. I represent to you" Elia added and started playing the piano with Isaac being back-up with his guitar.
They all immediately stunned when Elia said it was her single that was gonna come out. They didn't know about that, especially her parents.
Early in the morning I still get a little bit nervous
Fightin' my anxiety constantly, I try to control it
Even when I know it's been forever I can still feel the spin
Hurts when I remember and I never wanna feel it again
Don't know if you get it 'cause I can't express how thankful I am
That you were always with me when it hurts, I know that you'd understand
I don't wanna lose control
Nothing I can do anymore
Tryin' every day when I hold my breath
Spinnin' out in space pressing on my chest
I don't wanna lose control
Sometimes I still think it's coming but I know it's not
Tryin' to breathe in and then out but the air gets caught
'Cause even though I'm older now and I know how to shake off the past
I wouldn't have made it if I didn't have you holding my hand
They all just watch in stunned hearing her perfect voice, perfect song that she herself created. Everyone knows this song mostly refers to Lizzie. Lizzie comes into her life when she's in her darkest time and since then Lizzie has been holding her hand never letting go. Lizzie and the moms cried their hearts out hearing every single lyric that was thrown.
The gentlemen also have tears streaming down their face but not as bad as the ladies. They still need to cover it but not Sebastian.
I don't wanna lose control
Nothing I can do anymore
Tryin' every day when I hold my breath
Spinnin' out in space pressing on my chest
I don't wanna lose control
I need you to know, I would never be this strong without you
You've seen how I've grown, you took all my doubts, 'cause you were home
I don't wanna lose control
There's nothing I can do anymore
At this point, they all could see and hear Elia was crying too. Her voice started to crack but she handled it like a champ, she got focus back again and didn't want to mess it up.
I don't wanna lose control, oh-oh-oh-oh
Nothing I can do anymore (anymore), anymore
Tryin' every day when I hold my breath
Spinnin' out in space pressing on my chest
I don't wanna lose control
-the song ended-
Everyone rises up from their seats and gives a round of applause for Elia and Isaac. They could see the tears streaming down to Elia's face. Isaac goes hugging her tightly, telling her how great she is, calming her down when Elia just cried her heart out and being comforted by her soul mate at this point.
Lizzie comes taking over. She wipes Elia's tears away with her thumbs
"I'm so proud of you baby. So, so proud of you. And I'm the happiest mom in this whole world to have you as my daughter. My sweet, sweet baby girl, sweet little missy. I love you so much Adelaine" Lizzie said, telling her daughter. Elia just nodded her head and smiled at her mother gratefully.
"Do you like the song?" Elia asks sniffling but smiling still
"Like? I'm in love with that song! I can't wait for that song to be released!" Lizzie cheer on her daughter
"Well, the songs will be out tomorrow on my birthday. Decided to give you guys another surprise" Elia said grinning
Everyone gasps in surprise
"Adelaine! How did you sneak up on me like that?" Lizzie asks astounded
"I might've made deal with Sophia, Bobbie, Taylor, Johnny and Andrew" Elia replied smirking
"God, each day pass by, I could see Elizabeth in you" Grandpa Dave said chuckling
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Lizzie asks pretending to be hurt by that comment that her father thrown making everyone laughs
"It's a compliment Lizzie!" Grandpa Dave defends himself
"So, guys. Any requests on a song you want me to sing tonight? I'm in the mood for some singing" Elia said smiling to her family
Then, they all started to list off the songs they wanted her to sing excitedly.
Elia had time with her father to plan her father's proposal to her mom. Elia even upgraded the plan that she'll be going to play the violin while her father proposes to her mom. It'll be amazing, memorable and heartfelt.
After 3 songs Elia sang, which is Lay me down requested by her Uncle Mackie, What A time requested by Ruffalo, her and Isaac sang it together and lastly, Love in the dark requested by her Aunt Scarlett.
It was now time for the proposal to start. The adults were all now sitting around the table talking, making conversation with each other. Elia and the kids were in the photo booth taking pictures but then with a hint from her Aunt Ashley that she could go to the violin now, she stopped and made her way to the music corner once again.
Her mom was still engulfed in conversation, she didn't notice that Elia was in the music corner.
She starts playing Carol of the Bells by Lindsey Stirling. All heads snapped to Eliana soon as she started playing the violin. Lizzie just smiles at the sight of her daughter nailing it. Sebastian goes standing and held his hand out
"Let's dance" Sebastian said and Lizzie just takes it with hesitation and confusion.
They started to dance but they were not the only ones in the middle of the room. Evans had his partner with him, Mackie with Nana, Grandpa Dave with Aunt Ashley, Grammie with Isaac, Downey and his wife, Ruffalo and his wife. Everyone started to have this dance because Seb asked for their help.
Lizzie can see Elia smirking in the corner of her eye
"Why is our daughter smirking like something was up?" Lizzie asks out of curiosity
Then, the melody that Elia started to play gave them all goosebumps. They all just 'woah' quietly but loud enough for everyone to hear. She is indeed talented as hell.
When the songs ended, the others go standing in a circle while Seb just gives Lizzie the last twirls and he immediately goes kneel down on his knee. Lizzie was utterly confused and when she turned her back to Sebastian, seeing Seb down in his knee, she gasped and tears started to form in her eyes. Elia just standing there in the set-up stage watching it with smiles.
Isaac and Mackie record the whole thing with the camera vlogging.
There's also the videographer recording it for sure. The photographer.
"Elizabeth Chase Olsen. I think you know what I'm doing right now seeing as I have a heart shaped box of rings on my hands and I'm kneeling one down on my knees. I know you'll be surprised with the short amount of time we're in a relationship. But it has been forever that I fell in love with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and our daughter. I want us to go through everything together from now on. We have our little family and I'm more than happy with it. I couldn't ask for more than this. This is more than enough for me. With you and Elia by my side. I don't know what I'll do if I lose one of you. I'm also thankful that since Elia came into our life, she's been the greatest thing that ever happened to us. She's the reason why we have the courage to confess our love for each other that we buried this whole time. I've already asked for your parents' permission to marry you, they already gave them their blessing. I also told Elia first and she's beyond excited for it. She even plans this and chooses this ring. So, Lizzie, will you make me the happiest man in life and marry me?" Seb gave her his speeches that he prepared 2 weeks ago. He has a single tear prick out of his eyes.
Lizzie on the other hand streaming down her face like a waterfall hearing each of Seb speech word by word. She just puts her hand on her lips trying to control her sobbed
Lizzie looks around to see everyone smiling, showing thumbs up to her encouraging her except for Scarlett who is a mess from crying too making Lizzie chuckles at the sight of her best friend.
Then, she looks at the stage where her daughter just stands there watching them and smiling sweetly at her mother and mouth at Lizzie 'I love you'. No one could see the tears forming in Elia's eyes except for Lizzie herself.
"Bold of you to assume I'm gonna say no to marry you" Lizzie said sniffling and smiling. Everyone goes cheering while Seb exhales in relief and goes sliding the ring in her fingers. He got up and kissed Lizzie, hugging her, picking her and spinning around making Lizzie laugh.
"WUHO! ONE DOWN!" Mackie yells cheering excitedly
"GOOD JOB PAPA!" Elia yelled too cheering
"I think we deserve some more dance!" Isaac said excitedly and running to the DJ station to put on the music
Elia immediately recognized the songs. It's their song. Her and Isaac. 'Lost in the Wild by Walk the moon'
Isaac goes to the stage to pick Elia from the stage and they start dancing hip attached to hip, smiling, twirling, spinning, laughing together while the other follows pursuit and watches two of the teenagers enjoying their moment together. Then, it's changed to Jamie and Elia, Isaac and Maggie.
It all goes around until they all come to opening the birthday present session.
