After a single event changed Grace's life, she turned into one of the biggest up and coming actresses in the industry. With the stress she's facing at work and the things she's dealing with in her personal life, will she be able to fight all of the...
As I sat in the chair for the hairstylist to work her magic, I had Annabelle in my arms. "Are you ready to wear your pretty red dress, princess?" She nodded excitedly, and I smiled.
Today would be Annabelle's first red carpet appearance, and Tom and I were so excited. He had even asked if we could coordinate so we each were wearing Spider-Man colors--him in a black tux, me in a royal blue gown, and Annabelle in a red dress.
My phone rang, and I smiled as I picked it up. "Hi there, babe."
"Gracie, I can't tell you how excited Noah is that you two have invited him." I smiled at that as I pushed some of Annabelle's hair from her face and pinned it up with a spider barrette that Tom had picked out.
"Ali, you know damn well that we love making people happy, and your family means everything to us."
"Still, seeing him happy makes me happier than you could ever imagine."
"Actually, I think I might be able to." I chuckled as Annabelle played excitedly with a hairbrush. "Princess, do you wanna say hi to Auntie Ali?" I put the phone on speaker.
"Hi there, Annabelle!" She was confused for a second, but she smiled when she saw my phone.
"Hi!" Ali chuckled, and I smiled.
"I gotta start getting ready, Gracie. I'll see you soon."
"Alright. See you later. Say bye-bye to Auntie Ali, sweetie."
"Bye-bye!" As the call ended, I smiled as I navigated toward Instagram. I had a photo of Tom that I had been saving for a time to both embarrass and appreciate him, and tonight was definitely the time to use it.

fullofgrace Tom is as big of a nerd as Peter Parker is--his only tattoo is a perfect example. I can't believe we're getting ready for the premiere of this nerd's third Spider-Man movie. I love you to pieces, baby.

As I set my phone down, Annabelle smiled and held up one of the Cheerios from her bag to me. I chuckled as I opened my mouth and she fed it to me. "Alright, Grace. Are you guys ready to get dressed?" The hairstylist smiled at me, and I nodded.
"Let's go."
As I carried Annabelle to the car, we saw Tom waiting outside. He turned as he heard her excited squeal, but he froze in place. He was smiling from ear to ear, and I smiled widely. "Wow."
"Wow what?"
"You two look absolutely incredible." Annabelle excitedly held her arms out for him, and I smiled as he took her into his arms. "I love you both so much."
"We love you too." I pressed a kiss to his cheek, and he grinned as he returned the gesture.
Once we stepped onto the red carpet as a family, it seemed like every interviewer beelined straight toward us. I was surprised I was able to catch my breath. "Wow. Quite the little family you guys have here." I turned to see Paul standing behind us, and I smiled.
"CB! CB!" Annabelle squealed, holding her arms out to him excitedly.
"Hi there, Frank Jr. Jr.," he chuckled as he pulled her into his arms, looking at me. "You couldn't have let her come up with her own nickname, Reg?"
"She's a year and a half old, Crap Bag." I chuckled, and he rolled his eyes as Tom wrapped an arm around me.
"Are you guys going to let her watch the mommy and daddy fun time scene?" I smiled at that, nodding.
"Of course, she doesn't know what they're doing at her age, but we're okay with her seeing it. We want her to be educated about things like that, so when it comes time for her to make decisions about it, she's equipped with all the information she needs to do it." Tom explained our reasoning, which got a nod from Paul.
"You two have always been ones to challenge the norm when it comes to important issues, that's for sure." He grinned as Annabelle stuck her tongue out at him, which caused him to return the gesture. "But it's so great that you do. I'm proud of you both."
"Thank you, Paul." I smiled, wrapping my arms around him. He wrapped his free hand around me as the other supported Annabelle. Tom grinned, and I know that he had taken a picture on my phone.
After the movie, we made our way to the after party, where I had a reunion with both Lesley and Beth. Annabelle was on my hip, and they were both fawning over her. "Do we have a future Tri Pi on our hands?" Beth looked up at me, and I shrugged.
"If she wants to be, then yeah." I grinned, pressing a kiss to my daughter's head as she looked at the two women.
"I'm so proud of you, leetle. I'm also so happy to be at the premiere instead of just seeing it opening night." Lesley held her hand out to me, and I smiled as I took it.
"Thank you, beeg." With that, Annabelle laid her head on my shoulder and yawned. I chuckled quietly, kissing her head. "I better go find Tom so we can get her to bed. I'll see you guys later, okay?"
The next thing I knew, the three of us were in our hotel room. Annabelle was asleep in the playpen we had set up, and Tom was asleep in my arms on the bed. I pressed a kiss to his head as I pushed hair from his face, smiling to myself.
My life had definitely taken an unexpected turn after I graduated, but I gave it a fighting chance--and I couldn't be happier.
I'm actually really sad it's over, but it was time for their story to come to an end.
BUT! I do have another fun thing planned, so keep an eye out for it, okay?
