Chapter 7: New Family, The Wedding at the Beach and End
For the next few months, Grayer and Anna was busy preparing for their wedding. They hired a wedding planner and her name is Michelle Burkwood. (AN: juz go to my profile to know who plays Michelle) Michelle is really good at arranging for their wedding; from the cakes to the bouquets to the dresses. They were lucky to have some help from her.
One day Anna received a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Social Services. "Hello. May I speak with a Ms Anna Gray please?" someone from the other end of the line said and Anna grew suspicious "Yes. Speaking. Who am I speaking with?" she ask and the person explained that she is from the Social Service and telling about someone who she forgot.
"I am Andrea Roberts from the Social Service office. I want to discuss to you of your sister, Angela Gray?" and Anna was stunned "Angela?" she said "How is she?" Anna ask and Andrea said "She is fine. She's been living at Foster homes for quite some time now and I think now is the time for you to get full guardianship of your sister."
Anna gasped "What?!" and Andrea continued "She is to be taken care of by a legal guardian. Now I will arrange to bring Angela to you with the papers and I will call you as soon as I can. Alright?" and Anna stammered "Y-yeah…" she couldn't believe it. She forgot about her own sister. "Poor Angela." Anna thought "Thank you for your time Ms Gray. Goodbye" and Anna heard the dial tone. "Goodbye" and she placed her phone back on the hook.
The whole day her mind was thinking of having Angela in her life again. "What if she hates me" Anna thought as she was having lunch. "Will she be happy to see me again?" she thought as she was cuddling with Grayer in the couch as they both were watching a movie.
All these thoughts were buzzing around her head for that weeks just before the wedding. Grayer saw Anna looking rather distant these past few days. One day he ask her "Babe, are you okay? You seem a bit off these couple of days. What's up?" and Anna sighed and decided to tell him.
"Grayer. If I tell you something please don't be mad at me" Anna said and he held her hands and said "Baby, whatever it is. I promise I won't be mad. Now tell me. What's been bugging you?" he said as he stroked her hand slowly. She felt turned on but she decided to ignore her passions and tell him straight to the point. "Remember my sister Angela?" she said and he nodded "Yea. What about her?" he ask her.
"Well…" she started and told about her being the only legal guardian since her parents died and she have to take care of Angela. After she explained to him he nodded and said.
"Anna. I think what you should do is we should take care of your sister. She is still blood-related to you and I am happy to have someone who you care about in the family. Since we will start our own. Okay. Don't worry. Everything will be fine" he said .
Anna ask him "Really?" almost whispering "Really" he smiled and kissed her forehead "Now. Lets get some rest. We still have to prepare for our beach wedding" and held out his hand and she quickly grabbed it and followed him in their bedroom. She was lucky to have an understanding person like him in her life and hope everything will turns out alright till the end.
A few days later, she received another phone call from Andrea and she told Anna to meet her. They arranged to meet at Anna's apartment. She gave Andrea, the address and went home quickly after finishing her work at the office for the day.
Anna called Grayer and told him that the person from Social Service will come to the apartment to send Angela. He said he will come back as soon as he finishes work for the day. Anna came home, and sat on the couch waiting anxiously for Andrea and Angela to come.
Half an hour after Anna came home, Grayer came through the door with expected guests. Angela, her little sister and Andrea Roberts. Anna was surprised of how big her sister has grown
"Hello Anna" Andrea said as they came through the door. The little girl grew wide eyed to see her big sister. Anna couldn't help but grin. She walk towards them and knelt down to Angela's height.
"Hey Angela. Remember me. I'm your sister, Anna" and little Angela look at the woman beside her and the woman claiming to be her sister. It took a while to remember how her sister look like. Then images of them spending time together suddenly flashes before her eyes and she remembers "Anna?" and Anna smiled.
"Yeah?" she replied "I missed you" and the two siblings hugged. It was a very emotional time for the reunion of two sisters who grew apart after their parents' death. After a long embrace, Anna signed the papers for being the legal guardian of Angela. Andrea said goodbye and soon was off.
Angela quickly got used to living with Anna and Grayer in their apartment. She even have her own room with cool things in there too. She was very happy to finally meet her sister again. She goes to Elementary School and even made a couple of friends. Her life was turned into the better.
One day, Anna planned something and told Grayer and Angela. "Grayer, what if Angela be my flower girl? What do you say?" Grayer nodded and said "Sure. What do you think Angie? Are you up for it? To be a flower girl for our wedding at the beach?" and Angela's eyes went wide.
"Are you serious?" she ask her sister and Anna nodded grinning from ear to ear. "Oh yes!! Thank you! Thank you! You're the best Anna!" and hugged her sister who was laughing "Your welcome" and Anna called the wedding planner to find a dress for Angela.
A couple of weeks later, it as The day. Wedding Day. The apartment was hustling and bustling with the Anna and the girls getting ready for the wedding. Meanwhile a few blocks away, Grayer who was already dressed were pacing back and forth in his best friend, Josh's apartment. "Dude. Relax" Josh said annoyed at him.
"I'm sorry dude. Just nervous" and he took a seat on the comfy couch. "Seriously dude. You should relax. Nothing will ever go wrong today" Josh assured and Grayer started at him sharply "Are you sure about that?" Grayer snapped and Josh couldn't help but flinch. "Seriously. Dude. Calm down" he sat beside Grayer and placed a hand on Grayer's shoulder.
Grayer took a deep breath and said "Okay. I'm calm. Sorry dude! ARGH! Why am I such a wuss?" yelled out loudly and Josh rolled his eyes and pushed Grayer down on the couch. "DUDE! SHUT THE HELL UP! AND STOP BEING SUCH A DRAMA QUEEN!" Josh got angry and slapped him "Dude! What was that for?" Grayer ask holding his cheek "That is to make you realize that I am having a migraine and you ARE being a wuss"
"DUDE!" Grayer yelled out "Do you want me to punch you this time? Cause I can. If anyone ask I just say that the great Grayer Mitchel was being a wuss on his wedding day" brought his knuckles together ready to strike him but he said. "No…okay…okay…I'm good." and he sat back down on the couch.
Then Josh looked at the time on the wall and said "Dude. Its time. Come on" and he walked to the door expecting Grayer to follow him but he didn't hear any footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw Grayer frozen in place "Dude. Come on. Or you'll be late for your own wedding" and pulled Grayer to the door and into the stretch limo. Soon they were on their way to Malibu beach where the wedding will be held.
Back at Grayer and Anna's apartment, five minutes ago:
Anna was pacing and her two friends, Jenny and Sandra who are bridesmaids are currently watching her freaking out. "OMG! What if he leaves just before the wedding. OMG! I am freaking out here. Jenny, how's my make-up? Can you see if my dress is alright? What about my hair? Oh gosh! Am so nervous right now I feel like puking" and Jenny said "NO! Anna! You look fine. Sit down please" and gently brought Anna to the couch where they were currently waiting for the stretch limo to arrive.
"OMG! I am so, so, nervous right now" Anna said. Little Angela was playing in her room with Jenny's daughter, Michelle and Danielle who are twins and Sandra's son, Henry. Angela, Michelle and Danielle will be the flower girls while little Henry will be the ring bearer.
"Anna, calm down. Grayer won't do those kinds of things. Okay?" Sandra said holding Anna's hand while Jenny nodded "Really?" Anna ask her two best friends "Really." the two of them said and Anna sighed "Thanks guys" and Jenny said.
"Aww…that's what's friends are here for" and Sandra added "Yea. You can always count on us babe" and they shared a three-way hug. It was a tender moment for these three best friends. Then they broke off when they heard a car horn and they quickly grabbed their bags and bouquet for the wedding and called out for the kids and soon they were in the stretch limo and was on their way to Malibu beach.
When Anna came out from the limo paparazzi were waiting for them. She ignored the paparazzi group and made her way to the location together with the bridesmaids and flower girls and the ring-bearer. Since no one will escort Anna to the alter, she will be walking alone. The wedding song came on and the bridesmaids and the flower girls walked down the aisle first. After they were midway down the aisle, Anna walked slowly following the rhythm of the song as all eyes were on her and she hear many gasped and people whispering and complimenting on how gorgeous she looked that day.
She sees a few of her mom's friends and also her uncles smiling at her. She saw a glimpse of her Uncle Jason (AN: man he sounded old) crying and smiling at the same time. She couldn't help but smile as she sees Grayer's eyes staring at her. His blue eyes never moved as she finally arrived at the alter, and the priest said "Dearly Beloved. We are gathered here to today to join in Matrimony between Grayer Barron Mitchel and Anastasia Katelynne Gray." and the priest goes on with the ceremony.
After a few minutes, they both said their vows "I, Grayer Barron Mitchel take thee Anastasia Katelynne Gray as my lawfully wedded wife" and it was Anna's turn to say her vows "I, Anastasia Katelynne Gray take thee Grayer Barron Mitchel as my lawfully wedded husband" and the priest said "In my power vested in me, in the State of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife." Grayer and Anna shared a smile "You may now kiss the bride" the priest continued and without further wait Grayer gave Anna a sweet French kiss. They are happy they are finally husband and wife. They know they are always meant to be and are destined to be together till the end. And as cheesy as I say it would sound, they both lived happily ever after.
