"Gil! Anne! Will you join Marilla and I for our portrait please?!" John calls from the back porch.
"Coming!" Anne calls back. She and Gil walk towards Green Gables to meet John. "Why does Marilla want Gil and I for the portrait?"
"Marilla wants you and Gil in the portrait with she and I because you're family. Come on, let's go have our portrait taken and then we can have our party." John smiles broadly at his son and new stepdaughter.
"Thank you, John. You've made Marilla so happy and I know that whatever I decide to do to go in the world she'll be okay here with you." Anne hugs John tightly.
John hugs Anne gently. "Come on, Marilla is waiting on us. She probably thinks we've run away from home by now." John walks into the house in front of Anne and Gil. John goes into the parlour where Marilla is standing by the mantelpiece.
"There you are. I wondered where you'd all gotten to. I've been waiting for you." Marilla says as the trio come into the parlour.
John looks at Gil and Anne and rolls his eyes. Marilla's reaction was so predictable. He walks over to Marilla and kisses her cheek softly. He stands next to her and Gilbert stands on the other side of her. Anne stands next to John.
