October 29th.
"Jess!" Danny says with a very excited look on his face.
"Yeah babe?"
"I know what we can be for Halloween!"
"What?"
"Well I'll be a football player, my future football player Isaiah James Huston." He pauses and looks off into the distance like he's imagining it, then continues, "Will be a little football and you and Gabriella will be my cheerleaders!" He smiles.
Jessica laughs and says, "Well I think that's a cute idea but do you really think that Gabriella isn't gonna want to wear her Elsa costume again?"
"We're her parents! WE TELL HER NO!"
She laughs and says, "Alright but I'm not gonna be the bad guy, you tell her no!"
"I will!" He smiles and walks to the living room.
"Gabriella, come to daddy!"
"Yes dada?"
"Hi sweet girl! Tell daddy what you wanna be for Halloween."
"I gonna be Elsa, daddy!"
"Noooo!" He says in a cute voice with a smile.
Jessica watches on the couch while she feeds the baby and laughs.
"Yes daddy!"
"No, you're gonna be a cheerleader!"
"Nu-uh!" She says loud and makes a face.
"Yeah, it'll be fun! Aaaaand! You'll get to match mommy!" He smiles at Jessica.
"Yeah Gabby!" Jessica laughs.
Gabriella crosses her arms and puckers her lips.
She gives a look to Jessica then at Danny and says, "I gonna be ELSA!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! Please daddy! Please!" She gives him puppy dog eyes.
"... Ahh... O-okay you win!"
"Yay! I win! I win!" She lift her hands and jumps up and down.
Jessica laughs and says, "You just gave up to a little two year old girl! Hah! You officially have lost your balls!"
"Shut up." He stands up and walks to his room as Jessica cracks up laughing.

That night Jessica was telling George about Danny's idea and how Gabriella reacted.
"Well I think y'all should still do it, you can't let her run y'all's every decision. Then you're just raising a brat."
"I know. I mean, I'm not gonna let her run things.. It's just fun to see Danny just give up and give her whatever she wants! Haha! She is so me!"
"Oh definitely! and it's obvious that Danny gave you whatever you wanted!" He looks down at Isaiah while he holds him.
"Stop it!" She hits his arm.

Halloween.
"Gabriella look at this costume mommy bought you!"
"Present?!"
"Yeah, present!" She smiles and opens the costume.
"Let's put it on you!"
Jessica changes her and says, "Oh you look so pretty, momma!"
"Yeah!" She smiles at herself in the mirror.
"Haha! You silly girl! So you're ready for Halloween!"
"No!"
"What? Why?"
"Because I Elsa!" She smiles.
"Okay, listen sweet girl... You can be Elsa whenever you want, but tonight you're gonna be a cheerleader."
"But why?"
"Because Daddy really wants you to be one. Will you please do it for daddy?"
"No.."
"But Gabby daddy's gonna cry!"
"No! Daddy doesn't cry."
"Only when his feelings are hurt. Do you want daddy to cry?"
"No." She looks at Jessica with big eyes.
"Then what do you wanna be for Halloween?"
"A cheerleader!" She says in a baby voice and a smile.
"Yay! Momma's gonna buy you so many presents for this!" She hugs her.
That night.
Jessica changes into her cheerleader crop top, short skirt and thigh high socks, then does hers and Gabriella's hair in two pigtails with bows and says,
"Oh look at us! We're gorgeous!" While she holds her on her hip and looks in the mirror.
"Mommy, I glad I'm a cheerleader!"
"You are?!"
"Yeah! I look so good!" She smiles at herself making Jessica laugh.
"Yes you do, baby!" She kisses her cheek.
"And mommy look!"
"What baby?"
"You're skinny momma!"
"Haha! Thank you, baby!"
"No baby?"
"No, there's no baby in there anymore!" She laughs.
"Where did it go?" She lifts her hands.
"Downstairs with your dad!" She laughs.
"Baby... The baby that was in Momma's belly was Isaiah!"
"Oh yeah!" Gabriella giggles.
"You silly girl!" She tickles her.
