-Chapter 2-
(January 2010 – Washington D.C.)
"EEKKKK?" Gabriella squealed in excitement from the news she had just received, her squeal echoing throughout the six story and 55,000 foot squared building/house located on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C..
"WHAT HAPPENED?" Gabriella was asked by not only by her best friend, mom, Secret Service Agents, but Troy's parents, the Vice President and his wife – Gabriella's godparents, Vance and Derby Evans –, her god-brother, and her fiancé as they came running into the East Sitting Room, the room that the Wildcat's dubbed theirs due to the first part of the name 'East' which reminded them of their high school, East High back in good old Albuquerque, New Mexico – both places meaning a lot not only to them but their parents also.
"Brie, Baby, are you okay?" Troy asked noticing her breathing was sped up.
"Oh, she's perfectly fine," Gabriella's dad informed the group and with a smile he placed his hands on Gabriella's shoulders and gave them a light squeeze, saying with a wide smile, "Breathe, Baby Girl, breathe. In, out, in, out…"
"OH MY GOD? DADDY ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Gabriella exclaimed with a bright smile and seeing Greg's nod, she began jumping up and down. And as if communicating silently with her best friend, god-sister, and Maid of Honor, Sharpay Evans, scrambled up to their sides and began squealing and bouncing with her 'sister' with their hands laced with each others.
"They've finally gone off the rocker, I see," they all heard a new voice say and insult Troy's fiancée and Zeke Baylor's girlfriend. They all turned to find Troy's NBA team mate and best friend since preschool, Chad Danforth along with the rest of their legendary group called "the Wildcats" – Chad's girlfriend Taylor McKessie, Ryan's girlfriend Martha Cox, Jason Cross, and Jason's girlfriend Kelsi Nielsen – all having just arrived from Albuquerque where they had returned after coming back from Colorado, except for Chad and Taylor due to Chad having a basketball game that night and him flying in D.C. with Taylor after the game.
Both girls turned to glare at the afro-haired basketball player before resuming their bouncing causing everyone to laugh while Derby and Inez pulled out their cell phones and took some pictures of the two. Finally, after his wife and his wife's best friend got done taking pictures and him along with everyone else wanting to find out why they were excited, Vance asked, "So would you two like to inform us what's got you two all hyper beyond belief?"
"DAVID TUTERA DOES!" They squealed together almost in an obvious 'duh' tone.
"THE WEDDING PLANNER EXTRAORDINAIRE?" Their mom's and Lucille exclaimed with wide smiles before joining the two girls.
"Okay, someone want to explain why my wife and future daughter-in-law are bouncing off the walls?" Jack asked as they all moved to take seats around the room while the mom's and the two girls continued to bounce and squeal like a couple of school girls who happened to see Sterling Knight.
"Well, for one if you don't know who David is, you've been living underneath a rock," Lucille shot at her husband, glaring at him but taking a seat on his lap while Inez did the same to Greg, the other two girls deciding to be different went and sat down in front of the fireplace, cuddling up together. Seeing their boyfriend and fiancé raise their eyebrows in question, the girls just stuck their tongues out at them causing the two to pout and everyone else to laugh.
"Okay, anyways, David Tutera like what my mom, Aunt Inez and Aunt Lucille said, is the wedding planner and just party planner extraordinaire. He's been planning and designing spectacular and over the top weddings and events for over 20 plus years. His specialty is creating one-of-a-kind events that truly represent the look and style of his clients. David Tutera Weddings is more than a party, it's an event – one that truly tells a complete story. He overseas and creates each and every wedding and event, upholding the level and integrity you would expect. He's just ah-mazing!" Sharpay explained to the one's who didn't know who David Tutera was.
"Ev…ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamt of my fantasy wedding, and I knew David was the one to make it happen when I went to Star Jones' wedding and went to my cousin's wedding at Disney where he had a collection offered at! I just know that he could and can make my fantasy a reality, every little girl's dream, my dream," Gabriella said, speaking passionately and high about the wedding planner causing them all to smile at the way she spoke about him.
"Okay, if you've known you wanted him to plan your wedding ever since you were little, Gabster," Chad started to say to his adoptive little sister, "then why were you two squealing like maniacs?"
"Daddy, since your making my dreams come true, you do the honors," Gabriella said, smiling proudly at her the forever number one guy in her life.
"I just so happened to call his office and once I convinced them of who I was, they put me immediately through to David and he said that he would love to plan Gabriella's wedding in fact he wants to met with her and Troy tomorrow afternoon," Greg replied with a bright smile and a simple shrug of his shoulders as if it was nothing.
"Therefore making him the best daddy in the whole universe, not that he wasn't already but now it's gonna be true for an infinity amount of time," Gabriella replied giggling and smiling all the way causing everyone else to smile.
"You're my Baby Girl and if I can make your dreams come true then god damn I'm going too and that's a promise, okay?" Greg told her as they both stood up and moved towards each other for a warm and loving father-daughter embrace. Placing a kiss on the top of her head and hugging her tight, both of them knowing cameras and phones were pointed towards them, he told her, "You just let me know what else I can do okay?"
"Could you…could you walk me down the aisle and maybe go meet the designer that I want to make my dress and David with me, Daddy?" Gabriella softly asked him, hope shining bright in her brown eyes that she inherited from the President.
"Like there was a way in hell you were gonna keep me away from walking you down the aisle, and of course I'll go with you to both things," Greg softly told her, a bright and loving smile filled with shock on his face. Cupping her cheeks he said, "You just tell me when and where and I'll be there in heartbeat. I love you Baby Girl."
"I love you too, Daddy, forever," Gabriella whispered her reply, hugging him again before standing on her tiptoes to place a butterfly kiss on his cheek.
To Be Continued…
Okay, okay, I know this was super-super short, but I thought this was a good part to leave off at, therefore the meeting with David will be in the next chapter, okay? Okay, well I'm gonna work on the next one. I love you guys, please review and continue reading!
Love,
Jessica.
"When a daughter first meets her father as a baby, she makes room in her heart for the first significant man in her life, not really knowing it at the time, making her become Daddy's Baby Girl."
