The Tea Party
Chapter 1: Together Again
"Papa it's finally time for our tea party!" said my daughter Grace
"Yeah, and no time would have been better" I told her.
I was so happy to see Grace again; her beautiful smile reminds me of her mother. It had been so many years ago since I set that tea party arrangement and now I had regretted going with Regina
"So Grace, um introduce me to our guests?" I said to her over her shoulder while I looked at the table she had set up with a doll, and one very "special guest" – the bunny I made for her.
"Sorry I'm late!" I had some stuff to do, - that voice sounded familiar.
"Henry!" said Grace as she ran over to greet her friend.
"Oh yeah", um sorry I forgot to tell you I invited Henry over.
"Hello Mr. Jefferson", Hi Paige! Said Henry
Umm- "Oh I forgot to tell you, my name from Fairy Tale Land is Grace" Grace said as she cut into the conversation, before I could tell him she was actually Grace.
"Oh sorry Grace" he then took my hand and shook it.
"Hi Henry, welcome to the tea party" I told him as I held the door open for both of them
"So Dad, Henry, this is Little Paige, pointing to the Barbie doll nearly slipping from the little chair propped for it, and this is my bunny." She explained as she introduced us to her friends.
We poured ourselves some tea, and all took a sip. Grace had already given us plastic cups from her toy tea set to drink from- which I didn't mind.
After a few hours of talking and trying on some hats I didn't need with the kids, Henry left, and Grace went back to her adoptive parents' home.
I went over there and asked if I could say goodnight to her. They said it's alright as long as if I don't wake up their other son. I went up there and kissed Grace on her head goodnight.
"Best tea party ever papa" she said as she turned around to see me leave.
"You know it" I told her as she turned around again and fell asleep.
"Good night Grace" I said one last time before I silently closed her door.
