AN: This story just kinda popped into my head. So, first about The Nanny, my laptop totally died with all the chapters saved on it so I won't be able to upload them until after Christmas when I get a new laptop. I apologize to everyone who reads that, maybe you guys will like this one too. Oh, guess what? It's snowing here, I might not have school tomorrow.
I own nothing.
17 year old Gabriella Elizabeth Montez stirred awake as the pilot came on announcing that they would be landing soon. She sat up and put her seat belt on, sitting up straight. She turned to her 12 year old sister, Cassandra Marceline Montez, Cassie for short, to see if she was awake and noticed that she was wide awake looking out the window as the scenery of a new placed filled the view. Gabriella turned to her other side and that's when it hit her. She didn't see her mother there. Cassie and she had never traveled on a plane without their mother.
Gabriella's father, Robert Montez, was a successful stock broker in New York City. But he died in a deadly car crash on his way home to Jersey City, New Jersey, where his wife and three children lived. Robert was married to Maria Montez, a successful baker who had a bakery about five minutes away from Central Park. They got married at the young ages of 23 and 21 respectively. Three short years later they had Gabriella's older brother, Broderick Lucas Montez, Brody for short. Brody at the moment was twenty-one years old and was at his third year of film school at NYU.
When Brody was four, Maria and Robert thought that another child would be good for their family and 9 short months later they had Gabriella. Gabriella and Brody, fought when they were little like any brother and sister that close in age would, but they loved each other nonetheless, looking out for one another.
The Montez' were a happy loving family living healthy lives with privileges others didn't have. When Gabriella was just starting school, another pregnancy came as a surprise to Maria at the age of 33 and Robert at the age of 35. 9 long months later, Cassie was born and fit in perfectly with the Montez family, making them complete.
After Robert died, the Montez family came to a fast track halt. Maria stopped going to work, Gabriella and Cassie started dreading going to school to be met with the sympathetic looks of their friends and teachers, and Brody started skipping his classes at NYU, falling behind. This was all in April of this year. Now it was July. Maria had a funeral for Robert in May, a couple of days after his birthday on May 5th. Gabriella and Cassie finished the rest of the school year online.
Today was July 27th and Gabriella and Cassie were on their way to Albuquerque, New Mexico to move in with Maria's sister, Isabella Vasquez, her husband Henry Vasquez, and their sixteen year old daughter, Hannah Isadora Vasquez.
After the funeral Maria had a mental break down and decided that she would take a vacation to collect herself, a vacation without her kids.
Maria left Gabriella and Cassie to fend for themselves from May 27th to June 12th before Brody saw that his sisters couldn't cope with living on their own and moved in with them, the three children made good money for a while, with their days starting at five in the morning and ending at 10 at night, the three of them kept up with the bakery and lived off of the 100 dollars they each got per week from their fathers money.
At the beginning of July, Isabella, Henry, and Hannah came to visit to see how the children were doing and Isabella decided that it would be best for Gabriella and Cassie if they moved in with them in Albuquerque. Brody agreed. Isabella talked to Maria about, who was now in Madrid with their mother, who agreed as well, and stated that Brody could keep the house, and she would pay for expenses. With this all said Isabella, Henry, and Hannah flew home to prepare the house for Cassie and Gabi, while the latter's prepared themselves to move out of their city and into a completely different state. The Montez' had only visited the Vasquez' once before and at that time Cassie was five, Gabriella ten, and Brody fourteen, meaning that they all knew little about this city they were moving to, other than that is was located in New Mexico.
Isabella enrolled Gabriella at East High School as a senior where Hannah would be attending school as a junior in the fall. Cassie was enrolled in East Middle School where should be a seventh grader in the fall.
Gabriella looked up as the plane started descending downwards towards the runway. The plane landed and Gabriella got up and picked up her YSL Muse tote and grabbed her Lacoste aviator sunglasses out of her bad and placed them on her face and then took her Blackberry Tour out of her bag and turned it on.
Cassie picked up her cream and brown Abercrombie bag and took her LG Voyager out and turned it on before following Gabriella off the plane, holding her hand so she wouldn't get lost. When they stepped in the waiting area thingy they instantly spotted their aunt and uncle beckoning them over.
"Gabriella! Cassandra!" Isabella said enthusiastically, pulling her nieces into a hug. "You guys are even more beautiful then two weeks ago."
Gabriella was wearing some dark wash Hollister skinny slouch jeans, a Hollister cream tiered tank, a dark blue Juicy Couture sweat suit jacket, and Cream Ugg Cardy boots. Her mid back length chocolate almost black curls fell in ringlets down her back and around her shoulders with her bangs straightened.
Cassie had on light wash Abercrombie jeans, a white Abercrombie lace tank, a maroon Abercrombie cardigan, and maroon Calvin Klein flats. Her a little bit past shoulder length straight hair was in two low messy pigtails and naturally a little wavy.
"Thanks, Aunt Izzy. Where's Hannah?" Gabriella asked as the two Montez' and two Vasquez' walked towards the bag claim, to get the rest of Gabriella and Cassie's things. Some of their stuff had already been shipped.
"Hannah and her friend Savannah went to the mall; they should be making it home the same time we do. Savannah lives next door to us." Henry said, picking up the bigger bags while the others got the rest.
Gabriella nodded and they huddled together trying to make it to the exit where Henry and Isabella parked their black Honda Pilot. They put everything in the car and piled in, driving off towards the Vasquez house.
Fifteen minutes later they were pulling up to a beautiful quaint country style house with light brick. There was a two car garage and a brick walkway leading up to French doors that had a small garden on either side of them. The French doors were white and when you walked into them you were in the foyer. Henry parked the car in the garage after letting Gabriella, Cassandra, and Isabella out in the front.
"So, girls," Isabella said, once they reached the foyer. "This is our house, I guess I'll show you guys a quick tour and then we'll get you settled in your room."
Isabella took them on a quick tour, showing them the basement, which had a pool table and big flat screen TV, with a attached bathroom and guest room. They then walked up back upstairs to the kitchen which had marble and stainless steel everywhere. The family room was next which was decorated in maroon and crème, it had a 30 inch TV and three couches. Then there was the dining room that had dark mahogany tables and chairs with a crystal chandelier hanging over it. The table had six chairs. The office was next, which was strictly Henry's place to work. Isabella told them that she had a office upstairs that was attached to their room.
The three Latina's walked up the stairs and Isabella showed them the hall bathroom, Hannah's room , which had lime green walls with a thick orange stripe going all around and a thin yellow strip right under the orange one. It had Hannah's name painted on the wall in Orange and Yellow letters that were line with white. There was a full sized white French bed with green a lime green comforter and yellow and orange pillows. The desk and dresser was also white and there were two doors, one leading to a bathroom, decorated in, you guessed it, orange and yellow, and a closet that was full to the brim with clothes.
After leaving Hannah's room, they walked across the hall which was the main bedroom. The walls were crème and the bed spread was navy blue. The furniture was dark cherry and there were two cherry doors. One of them lead to a bathroom which had a closet inset and the other was to a office which was pink and green, Isabella told them this was her office.
The next room they went to was Cassie's. It was purple and white. It had a black full sized bed with a white comforter and a purple blanket and pillows draped over it. It had a black desk, which had a purple and white lamp and a place cleared for her laptop. There was also a black dresser that which was empty for Cassie could put her clothes in it. There was a attached bathroom which was also white and purple and it had a inset closet as well. Henry had placed Cassie's suitcases in the middle of the floor so she could get settled in.
"Well, do you like it?" Isabella asked, hopefully.
Cassie turned and hugged her aunt. "I love it, thanks!"
"It was no problem at all, sweetie. Why don't you start putting some things away, and I'll go Gabi her room?" Cassie nodded and walked towards her suitcases, starting the project of putting her things away.
Isabella and Gabriella walked down the hall to Gabriella's room. It was light blue and pink with white furniture, a desk, dresser, and queen sized bed. The comforter was light blue with pink flowers on it with matching pillows. The desk was a combination of a book shelf and a desk that had blue and pink baskets you could pull out. The dresser was just a standard with a flat screen TV on it. The bathroom was just like Cassie's with a inset closet.
"Do you like it?" Isabella asked.
"I love it," Gabriella responded, hugging her aunt. "Thanks again for taking us in, I know it's not mami's fault that daddy died and you're taking on the responsibility of raising two children, it must be hard for you. We must be burdens"
"Gabriella Elizabeth," Isabella said firmly. "I don't ever want to hear you say that you and Cassandra are burdens, we love you guys so much, we wanted all four of you to move down here after Robert died, but your mother insisted you guys were fine."
"Again, thanks Aunt Izzy. I love you."
"I love you too, Gabi. Why don't you unpack? Its getting late. Hannah should be home soon and she can help you."
Gabriella just nodded and Isabella walked out of the room.
So, what do you guy's think? Reviews make me upload faster :).
