Meet The Farrells
Perspective 2: Grace has a mother and two sisters but her father is dead.
Disclaimer I own no Annie Characters. Grace's mother and sisters are my own creation.
Grace Farrell was so excited. Her wedding was a week away and today her mother and sisters Catherine and Anna were coming in on the train from Boston to spend the week. She had not seen her mother and sisters much since she started working for Oliver and missed them all terribly. Grace was the oldest of three. Catherine was 29 and Anna was the youngest at 19. Her father had passed away two years before of cancer. She wished he could be here to celebrate this momentous occasion.
"Mom, can Molly and I come with you to the train station to meet Grandma, Auntie Catherina and Auntie Anna?" Annie asked
Grace smiled at her oldest daughter. "Of course Annie. They are so excited to meet you two girls. I have told them so much about you."
They drove to the train station in the Duisenberg. They were not waiting for their guests too long.
"Mom! Cathy! Anna! Over here!" Grace called.
Annie looked up to see three women who looked exactly like Grace.
"Gracie, it's so great to see you again!" Her mother said.
"I know it's been a long time!"
"I'm assuming these two lovely young ladies must be Annie and Molly." Rose Farrell said
Annie smiled and extended her hand. "It's nice to finally meet you Grandma Rose. Mom has told us so much about all of you. We're happy to have you stay with us."
Grace's sisters were next to embrace her. "We can't wait to meet Oliver." Catherine said.
"He can't wait to meet you guys either." Grace said
The five ladies piled back into the car, suitcases and all.
Once they arrived back at the mansion Oliver met them in the foyer.
"Hello, you must be Rose. It's so nice to finally meet you."
Rose extended her hand "Pleasure's all mine Oliver. These are my other two daughters Catherine and Anna."
"Would you show your grandma and aunts to their rooms please?" Oliver asked his oldest daughter.
"Yes Daddy!" Annie said as she bounded up the stairs. Drake followed close behind with their suitcases.
Oliver put his arm around Grace. "You must be so happy to see your mother and sisters."
Grace's smile was a mile wide. "Oh definitely. I haven't seen them too much since I started working for you. The last time I actually saw them was at my father's funeral."
Oliver laid a kiss on her forehead. "I'm so happy to have them here for the wedding. It will be great getting to know them better in the coming days."
Grace tightened her embrace around Oliver. "I love you so much. You and the girls mean everything to me."
Oliver placed another kiss on her forehead. "I love you too Grace."
The week passed quickly. When they weren't busy preparing for the wedding Grace her mother and sisters spent some time catching up with each other and also some time with Annie and Molly.
Finally the day of the wedding arrived
Grace's mother helped her get ready.
"Gracie, I am so happy for you. Oliver is a wonderful man and Annie and Molly are the sweetest girls."
Grace hugged her mother. "I have never been so happy in my life. I give Annie so much credit for bringing Oliver and I together. If it wasn't for her we probably wouldn't be getting married."
There was a rustling outside the door and within a few minutes Annie burst through it.
"Sorry Grace, she insisted on seeing you." Her sister Anna said.
"It's no problem. I want to see her too."
Annie threw herself at Grace at full speed "Mom, you look so pretty."
Grace held her daughter at arm's length. "And you my dear, look absolutely gorgeous."
Annie was going to be Oliver and Grace's flower girl.
"Okay Annie, let's let your mom finish getting ready."
Annie took her aunt's hand and they left the room.
Grace turned back to her mother
"She's a little ball of energy isn't she?" her mother said grinning.
"Yes, she is." Grace said returning her mother's grin.
"Let's finish getting you ready darling. The ceremony starts in 20 minutes."
Grace sighed. "I really wish Daddy was here too."
Rose Farrell squeezed her daughter's shoulder. "I do too honey. He would love Oliver, Annie and Molly as much as we do. He's proud of you know."
Grace hugged her mother. "I love you Mom."
"I love you too sweetheart." Rose placed a kiss on her daughter's forehead.
The ceremony was gorgeous. Grace felt like a princess gliding down the lawn in her dress. Oliver was all smiles at the altar. They exchanged their vows and rings. Oliver pulled Grace to him and whispered in her ear. "I love you so much." Grace smiled. "I love you too." They kissed and were proclaimed Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Warbucks.
Grace was blessed to have such a wonderful family and to have Oliver as her husband. She had never felt so complete in her life.
