Cancun, Mexico
                          


                          
Today is the day that Mitchell and Elizabeth renew their vows; thescene is set with chairs on the beach, and the waves crashing in the background. The girls are all dressed in white dresses, as Elizabeth is dressed in hers. Mitchell is at the altar placed on the beach, and Elizabeth walks down to see her Mitchell. 
                          
	"Mitchell, do you take Elizabeth's vow in marriage, again, sir?"says the preacher. "Yes, sir, I do." says Mitchell. "Elizabeth, do you take Mitchell's vow in marriage, again, ma'am?" says thepreacher. "Yes, sir, I do." says Elizabeth. 
                          
Mitchell reads his vows to Elizabeth as she reads hers to him. Theceremony lasts for a couple of hours; family and friends are nearbyin the chairs as they witness this.
                          
	"I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF THIS COUPLE RENEWING THEIR VOWS!" says Louise, with a gun in her hand. "What the hell, Louise? Really?! On our wedding renewal day? Security, remove her  at once!" says Mitchell. 
                          
The guards walk over and take Louise away. She shoves them off and a gunshot is heard in the distance. 
                          
	"How's that for a dramatic entrance?" says Louise. "Go to hell, Louise; nobody wants you here." says Elizabeth. "My girls do." says Louise. "No, we don't." says both Juliet and Isabella. "See!" says Elizabeth. "Why won't you stop doing what your doing? I thought you got help!" says Mitchell. "I lied. I didn't get help. I was planning out my next excursion to take the girls home with me and get them back as mine." says Louise. "You just had to do that, Louise. It's no wonder the girls' don't wanna go back with you." says Mitchell. "Would you please get the proper help you need? Then we may re-think that decision of you having the girls' back?" says Elizabeth. "Okay, okay. I'll go back home and get some professional help. I'm only doing it to have my girls again." says Louise. "Okay. Can I get back to my ceremony now please?" says Elizabeth. "Yes, you may. You look beautiful by the way." says Louise. "Thank you." says Elizabeth. 
                          
The ceremony goes on as planned; the vows have already been said and Mitchell kisses his bride once more. They have a reception at the hotel and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. 
                          
	"I'm so happy right now." says Elizabeth. "Me too." says Mitchell. "Even with Louise showing up, it still went off fine." says Elizabeth. "Cake, my dear?" says Mitchell. "Yes." says Elizabeth, kissing her groom. 
                          
They share some cake, and continue to enjoy the reception for this night.

The next morning...	
                          
Going home day...
                          


                          
Mitchell lies awake to Elizabeth and gets the packing sorted out as coffee is being made in the hotel room. They get the girls and all head down for the breakfast. Everyone eats, packs and heads to the airport for their noon flight home to Boston. They arrive home about one o'clock, get unpacked, and go out and grabsome lunch.
                          
	"You girls enjoy yourselves?" says Mitchell. "Yes, we both did." says Juliet and Isabella. "Good. You all can get whatever you want for lunch. It's on me today." says Mitchell. "That's nice of you, babe." says Elizabeth. "I got offered a new position at work and it pays more so you know what that means...; and yes, I took the offer." says Mitchell. "Babe, that's awesome." says Elizabeth. "It is." says Mitchell. 
                          
They drive and sit down for lunch near where they live and order. Everyone picked out a local diner for lunch today. The family eats, and finishes an hour later. Heading home, they get ready for the day ahead tomorrow. Elizabeth cooks dinner for everyone and Holly drops by unexpectedly.
                          
	"Hey, Elizabeth I have something for you and Mitchell and the girls'." says Holly, handing her a bag. "What is it? You didn'thave to get us anything." says Elizabeth. "I wanted to since I couldn't make it for the ceremony." says Holly. 
                          
Elizabeth opens the bag, and it's a trip to Disney World for her and the girls'. Holly had leftover tickets from a friend of hers.
                          
	"Thank you." says Elizabeth, giving Holly a hug. "No problem."says Holly. "We'll enjoy this." says Elizabeth. "Babe, what is that?" says Mitchell. "Holly got us Disney World tickets for the girls and us." says Elizabeth. "Thanks." says Mitchell, shaking Holly's hand. "These are for December so you can go at Christmas." says Holly. "What are those, mama?" says Juliet. "Tickets for Disney World at Christmas." says Elizabeth. "Cool." says Isabella. "Can't wait! Get to see Mickey Mouse!" says Juliet."Thanks again." says Elizabeth. "Do you mind if I grab Allison and is it okay for you to have us for dinner?" says Holly. "Yes, you can. And you can stay for dinner." says Elizabeth.
                          
Holly grabs Allison and they come back over for dinner. And dinner is ready as soon as they come back. They all eat and an hour later Holly and Allison head home. The day for Mitchell and Elizabeth as they get the girls and themselves ready for bed.
