"Where is she? I know she was brought in!" Christian frantically shouted while pacing the labor and delivery's lobby. His normally immaculate image was marred by a wrinkled button down half hanging out of creased jeans. He frantically scanned the area looking for a familiar face. A petite nurse clad in bright pink scrubs glided towards him.
"Mr. Grey, I am unable to assist you in locating your ex-wife. Due to patient confidential laws, we cannot give you any information unless the patient authorizes it."
"Listen, I don't care who the fuck you are but my son is currently in that woman's womb. I will fucking tear this place," Christian paused and redirected his attention to the door. "SAWYER! SAWYER!"
"Mr. Grey," Sawyer acknowledged with a nod.
Christian pulled himself straighter and glared into Sawyer's eyes. A frown smeared across his face. "Where is Ana?" he spit out between clenched teeth.
"Miss Steele is currently in labor. She is not to be disturbed," Sawyer calmly said while positioning his body between Christian and the door leading to the birthing suites. "No one is to be admitted."
Christian rolled his shoulders and clenched his fists; nails drawing blood from digging into his palms. "I'm the child's father. It's my right to be with her."
"Mr. Grey, it is my job to protect Miss Steele from all threats and you are on the top of the list. You lost all rights to access Miss Steele when you filed for divorce. She will contact you when you will be allowed to visit the child." Sawyer turned to leave but Christian caught his bicep halting his departure. Tension rolled off Sawyer as he fought the urge to slam Christian into a nearby wall. "Remove your hand before I gladly remove it, you disgusting philanderer."
Christian dropped his hand but stayed mere inches from Sawyer. "Listen, what happened between Ana and I is none of anyone's business. She is giving birth to my child. I want to be there when he is born."
Sawyer bristled at Christian's tone. "Mr. Grey, I don't think I need to remind you of the restraining order that is still in effect. I can send Taylor a copy along with the pictures of the bruises you left on Miss Steele the last time you saw her, which by the way, was when she was eight months pregnant with YOUR child."
Christian started to reply but stopped when the sliding glass doors on the other side of the lobby opened to admit Kate and Elliot followed by Grace. The trio quickly made their way to Christian in a show of solidarity.
"Christian, has my first grandchild made it out into this world yet?" Grace asked.
"Sorry, they haven't let me back there just yet," Christian pouted trying to milk the attention for all it was worth.
Kate slid up next to Sawyer knowing he was acting as Ana's gatekeeper. "Who is helping her? I should be in there. She is my best friend."
Sawyer rolled his eyes and huffed. "You should have thought about your friendship when you were berating her for causing Mr. Grey to stray."
Elliot jumped to his wife's defense. "Hey, that isn't what happened!"
Grace looked disturbed at this turn of events. Christian had told her a few reasons of why he filed for divorced after Anastasia discovered she was pregnant but she had no idea how her other daughter in law fit into this picture. She knew Sawyer had been the only one to remain loyal to Anastasia in this difficult time. With Carrick spewing vitriol against Ana, Grace steered clear of Anastasia hoping that her absence during the pregnancy would not have an effect on Grace's presence in the child's life.
"Excuse me; I am well aware what has been occurring in this family for the past eleven months. An emotionally abused girl was divorced by a cheating husband, who then battered said girl because she went out to lunch with a male co-worker. The restraining order is still in effect, Mr. Grey. You will not be able to see your child or your ex-wife until it has been lifted." Sawyer had enough of these people believing they were above the law.
"Restraining order? Battered? Christian, what is he talking about?" Concern stained Grace's face. "I know that you divorced Ana because of Gwen but I had no idea about the restraining order or alleged battery."
Sawyer cut his eyes at Grace. "It wasn't alleged. He was caught on camera roughing up an eight month pregnant Miss Steele in a parking lot."
Kate's eyes popped wide open and Elliot's mouth dropped at this revelation. Grace stoically stood before them looking from each person determining who was telling the truth. Christian looked at his feet, ears red and fists in his hair.
"Christian, what did you do?"
Sawyer cut him off before he could reply to his mother. "Something he will in time regret."
"What does that mean?" Christian asked finally looking up.
"It means, after Ana's son is born, I will be forwarding information concerning your newest pet Gwen to a few news outlets. You are not the first rich man to fall to her charms and you won't be the last." Sawyer directed his attention back to Grace. "You can tell Carrick that he finally got the gold digging daughter in law he wanted; however it wasn't the one he expected. Go home to your wife, Mr. Grey. Your ex-wife is in excellent hands now."
Christian grabbed Sawyer by the lapels on his suit jacket. "If you as much as touch Ana, I will…"
"You will what? She isn't your wife." Sawyer brushed Christian's hands away. "Now if you'll excuse me, since Miss Steele's friends and family have abandoned her, I am needed in the birthing room."
Sawyer turned and pushed through the doors leaving four stunned faces behind. He walked down the hallway and turned right entering room 226 without a knock. The small pale faced girl laid on the bed breathing heavily as she gripped a pillow close to her chest. Sawyer coughed to alert her to his presence.
"Luke? Please tell me you sent him away."
"Yes, ma'am. Now, let's concentrate on your next contraction," Sawyer said as he took her hand and gently squeezed.
"Thank you. For everything."
"My pleasure, Ana."
