Annie has been my favourite film for a long time .. as long as I can remember actually; I thought it would be fun to write what I like to think happened after the movie with the amazing Albert Finney, Ann Reinking and of course Aileen quinn. I do not own anything to do with Annie whatsoever, enjoy! Please leave a review and let me know if your going to read the next chapter!
Chapter 1 : new beginnings
Waving the final guests goodbye, Annie turned to grace and oliver with the biggest smile on her face.
'Thank you for the best party' she said giggling
'I'm glad you enjoyed it sweetheart' grace said smiling at the excited little girl
Suddenly Annie's face turned to confusion and then happiness and then back to confusion, grace and Oliver gave each other a concerned look when Oliver finally said
'Is something bothering you annie'
Before they knew it annie had them both in her arms cuddling them until they where practically suffocating.. 'I knew you loved each other' she said remembering the kiss Oliver had given grace. Oliver and grace looked at each other with smiles as big as they could remember ever having.
'I'm a very lucky man to have 2 very amazing ladies in my life' Oliver said looking at grace for reassurance that she was okay to be one of them ladies.
Annie moved back as she could feel Oliver and grace moving slowly towards each other and before annie knew it she was covering her eyes laughing whilst her new mommy and daddy kissed each other softly. Grace and Oliver then realised that annie was there and they couldn't continue as they didn't want their first moments together be seen by their little girl.
'Come on annie it's gone 11PM, let's get you to bed' grace said trying to change the situation.
'Gee! 11PM boy that is late!' Annie said yawning
Oliver sweeped annie up in his arms and carried her to bed with grace following. Annie looked into her daddy Warbucks eyes thinking how much she loved him and how grateful she was to him for giving her a mommy and daddy. As Oliver lay her in bed and kissed her head goodnight she whispered in his ear 'are you going to ask grace to marry you' Oliver stood over her bed hoping grace hadn't heard, which she appeared not to.. he avoided this question and ruffled her curly hair and walked out the room saying 'goodnight annie'. Grace was left in the room with Annie and she did the usual routine, read her a story, sing her favourite bedtime song and then when she drifted asleep kiss her head and say a little prayer. Grace tiptoed our the room hoping Oliver was waiting for her outside, she shut the door behind her then felt something which made her jump. Oliver kissing her neck. 'Oliver, sir' she said 'let's at least get to another room which isn't Annie's!' She said laughing. Oliver took her hand and led her into his suite.
Closing the door behind them they stared into each other's eyes then Oliver placed his hand on her warm, slightly blushed cheek and kissed her softly. Feeling her kissing back he made the kiss more passionate until their knees where weak. 'Sir' grace sighed under her breathe. Oliver stopped kissing her looking at her, a look of worry seemed to appear on her face. 'Is everything okay grace' grace smiled and said 'everything is perfect, however what are we doing? Is this going to lead somewhere or is this just a one night thing' she said with a slight sound of sadness in her voice, as she hoped this wasn't a one night thing and how she hoped her Oliver and Annie could be a family. Oliver looked at her and admitted to her 'I realised grace how I have been inlove with you from the moment you started working for me, I have just always put it to the back of my mind.. I don't know how you feel but I really think we are...' and before he could finish grace was kissing him just as passionately as before. They moved to the bed, lips not leaving the others, before they knew it it was happening.
Breathless the pair rolled onto their backs on a side of the bed each. Looking at each other in total ore Oliver exclaimed 'so where did you learn to do that miss Farrel' winking flirtatiously. All grace could seem to do was let a little giggle out, she couldn't believe that had just happened. When their heart rates had gone back to a normal (ish) and they where able to breathe evenly again grace asked 'what made you realise you where going to make a move on me then' laughing as she knew how this time yesterday a question like this would never have came out of her mouth. 'Truth being told grace this has been on my mind for years and years but I've always managed to brush it away. You know me the most out of any person, sometimes I think you know me better than I know myself. You're always right grace, about everything whether it's about the company, money, the weather, Annie you just always seem to know what your doing. And also not forgetting how you are the most beautiful woman I have ever layed my eyes on. Your kind , selfless , caring and when I seen you standing their tonight in that beautiful dress watching me and Annie I just realised how much I wanted you to be apart of my life as what I wanted annie, because at the end of the day grace annie wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you'. Speechless after this speech Oliver has just made she felt herself go slightly red and said to him 'I love you too oliver' she moved up to him and rested her head on his chest and he wrapped his arm around her and before they knew it they where fast asleep in each other arms, smiling.
Grace awoke the next morning at 6:30am to oliver tickling her neck, she realised where she was and smirked to herself remembering the night before. 'Good morning' she said softly and sat up to stretch herself, she turned round to look at oliver who was just sitting slightly up staring at her.
'May I ask what's so fascinating about me that you can't appear to take your eyes off me' grace asked
'your beauty' Oliver answered
Laughing grace then said 'I best get up and get dressed and go downstairs, Annie will be awake soon and we don't want anyone catching us in here together... do we?' She asked to herself and Oliver
'Would it really be so bad if the staff knew that this beautiful , amazing woman was my life long partner' Oliver said looking at grace waiting for her to realise what he had just said
'Well I gue.. life long partner hey?' Grace said cheerfully
'I want to spend every moment of every day with you grace Farrell.. I love you' Oliver said sitting up so he was face to face with grace
Grace leaned in for a kiss and Oliver gladly accepted that offer.. when Oliver was kissing behind her ear she whispered into his 'I love you too oliver'
'I'll see you at breakfast' Grace said leaving the suite to head to her bedroom to get clothed for the day
Shutting the door behind her she let out a big breathe of happiness as though she was living the dream
