I just want to thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter! I literally signed in and started typing not knowing what I was going to write about so I was kinda worried about that chapter.
Chapter 13
"Mommy hurry!" said Bella excitedly.
"Belle I'm going as fast as I can, Oh here it is!" said Gabi picking up a magazine.
"Oh Belle Look!" she said showing her daughter the magazine. Bella smiled and clapped her hands.
"Let's go pay for this shall we, I wonder if the lady will recognize you" said Gabi taking Bellas hand and leading her to the till.
"2.75 please" said the lady behind the counter. Gabi handed Bella the money and picked her up so she could pay. The woman took the money and looked down at the magazine.
"Hey you're on the cover! How'd you get her on the cover?" the lady asked Gabi.
"We had family photos taken a few months ago and she loved the camera, the photographer recommended her to a model agency and everything kinda went from there" said Gabi smiling, she was so proud of Bella and she could see how happy she was. Bella clung to the magazine. Even when they got home she didn't want anyone to take it off her.
"Belle can daddy please see the magazine, pretty please, I just want to see my little princess" said Troy kneeling in front of my so he didn't seem to tower over her.
"Okay" she sighed and held out the magazine. troy beamed and hugged Bella. He looked at the picture feeling so proud. Bella was on the cover of a magazine and she was adorable.
"This is amazing isn't it Gabi?" asked Troy.
"Just wait till Friday, we're going to New York for a top child model agent interview" said Gabi bouncing Trisha gently on her knee. Trisha giggled and Belle ran over to play with her.
"Twisha I is on the the magazine!" she exclaimed excitedly clapped her hands with Trisha.
Friday- noon
"Okay Belle just one last clip, and... perfect" said Gabi as she finished Bella's hair. Troy and Tyler had gone to a toy shop with baby Trisha while she and Bella were at the modelling agency. Gabriella looked around at the other mothers, they were all dressed like models with perfect hair and high heeled shoes. Gabi felt inadequate compared to them in her skinny jeans, silver pumps and purple flowing top. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail and she was sure she still had some chocolate on her jeans. Tyler had had a hersheys bar on the plane and he had made quite a mess.
"Mommy I'm hungry, can I have a snack?" asked Bella asked politely.
"Of course you can sweetie" said Gabi taking out her purse, she let Bella pick a treat from the vending machine.
"Yay chocolate!" said Bella. Another mother walked up behind Gabi and Bella and got a low calorie oat bar. She looked at Bella and rolled her eyes.
"Excuse me why did you just roll your eyes?" asked Gabi angrily.
"Oh please, giving her chocolate? She should be eating these, not that food, unless you have her on a diet, do you?, looks like she could do with one" remarked the woman after pointing to the low calorie bar. Gabi went to respond but the woman walked off. She saw her hand the bar to a little girl about a year older than Bella who was very thin.
"God she's only 5 and her mother has her on a diet, I will not do that to Bella she's 4 and in great shape, so what if she's not a stick like that girl" Gabi thought to herself. She took Bella by the hand and led her to the other side of the waiting room. Bella was first in since she was the youngest.
"Ah little Bella Bolton, Mark has told me how good you are at modelling" said a kind looking woman holding a camera.
"Hi" said Bella smiling almost shyly.
"You must be Gabriella Bolton, nice to meet you I'm Annie Smith" said the woman. Gabi shock her hand and talked to her about the setting for the photo shoot. Bella was to just be herself, no costume, just to play with the toys and smile. Bella skipped foreward and started to play. Annie kept talking to her while taking pictures.
"Okay looks like we're all day, if you come back at 4 we should be all done and we will decide which new girls to take on" said the woman at the desk. Gabi presumed she was the owner.
The whole family met up for lunch at a kids restaurant. Bella and Tyler played in the game room while they waited for their food. Gabi meanwhile was telling Troy about what happened.
"Some people are so obsessed with size, it's crazy" said Gabi.
"Did Bella understand what she was saying, like what she meant?" asked Troy.
"Nah, she was too busy with her chocolate bar" grinned Gabi. She rested her head on Troys shoulder as they sat side by side with Trisha in Troys arms.
"I love it here, but I can't wait to get home" sighed Gabi. She relaxed momentarily before Bella and Tyler arrived back in.
"Mom we're hungry!" moaned Tyler.
"Well sit down then, the food should be here any minute now" said Gabi resuming her duties as mom. She picked up Bella and Tyler and placed them in their seats. Luckily the food arrived just as she sat down.
"That was lucky" said Troy once Gabi had got Bella and Tyler started on their food. She gave him a quick kiss and smiled.
"Lucky Ducky as I always say" grinned Gabi.
At 4pm Gabi walked into the waiting room with Bella, Tyler and Trisha. The woman who had previously critised Gabi walked by and Gabi could have sworn she heard a laugh.
"Single mother of three kids?" she asked slyly before walking off. Gabi took a deep breath and refused to lower herself to that level. She sat Tyler and Bella at a kids table and gave them colouring books. She then took Trisha out of her car seat carrier and cuddled her. She saw Troy enter the room after parking the car. The woman walked up to Troy and Gabi guessed that she was flirting with him. Gabi walked up with Trisha and handed the baby to him.
"Met my husband have you?" she asked emphasizing the word husband. The woman looked mortified and quickly walked away. Gabi smiled and led Troy over to where she was waiting. Just as they sat down the casting director entered the room.
"Thank you everyone for waiting, It was a tough decision. We have chosen 5 girls to take on" said the lady. Gabi held Bella's hand tightly. Bella jumped up when she heard her name being called last.
"Mommy I got in! I got in!" she said very excitedly.
"Well done Belle, I knew you would get it, all you gotta do is just keep trying and things will work out" said Gabi hugging her daughter.
So there it is, the last chapter, I know the poll indicated that more people voted to continue this story but compared to the amount of hits that chapter got, one more chapter won. Thank you so much for reading this story. The last few chapters have been incredibly hard to write. I will be focusing on my Hannah Montana fic. from now on.
