After getting an ear full from Gideon about how to take care of Callie, Callie was then called back out. We all sat down at the table and everyone was quiet for a long time. Callie looked nervous and lost. "Callie can you please tell me why I am here?" Gideon asked "ah well dad... You see... I missed you" Callie said chickening out. "I miss you too kiddo but this is Bobby's time with you" Gideon said "it was my idea to invite you up early, I don't mind I just want Callie to be happy and healthy and have a pleasant summer with me, and if she misses you then that's something I can fix.." I said jumping on the band wagon. Maybe I will just take Callie to paris as after the ear full I got I dought she would be aloud to go on her own.
I got sad as my dream started to fade away. "There's more isn't there" Gideon said not buying that the only reason he was there was because I missed him. "Yeah but it doesn't matter now..." I said as I got up to walk away. 'just another thing I don't get to do' I thought to myself. "Callie bay Gideon come back here and talk to me" Gideon said sternly. I walked back over to him. "Well this morning I woke up and everything kinda just felt right, like finally getting a new start after everything that happened with Lucas and Samuel, and I thought that maybe I could go to college" I started he smiled "I like what I hear so far keep going" he encouraged "well I talked to Bobby about it and he said that I didn't need to go to college to do what I wanted to do." I said "see I want to be a wedding planner... And so Bobby help me make an ad and posted it... And someone already called today they want me to co plan their wedding in 2 months in Paris but I need to go out there next week to start with the planning, I worked almost everything out except for getting a passport and getting your permission because your still my legal guardian" I said the last part coming out really fast.
I did my best to follow along with Callie but the last part was a bit to fast. "Okay let's see if I got this straight, Bobby told you that you didn't need to go to college to be a wedding planner, then you made an ad, which someone answered, the wedding is in 2 months but you need to fly to Paris next week to start the planning, you have worked almost everything planned out except for a passport and my permission?" I asked Callie thought for a moment. "Yes" she said "and I have to talk to Liam but I wanted to talk to you first" she added. I nodded and thought about what she said. I thought about asking Bobby his thoughts on the matter but he was more laid back then I was. I tell Callie all the time that I got her back, that she could do great things, now here was something big and I wasn't sure where I stood. "I'm not saying yes and I'm not saying no, tonight I want you to write down your plans and we will discuss this more tomorrow okay?" I asked "that sounds reasonable" Callie said she then hugged me and then Bobby and the headed off to her room.
