A/N:
OK..OK.. looks like I'm starting another story. I just wanted to write this one down while the idea of it is still fresh. I still plan on finishing my other story, there's only a few more chapters to go. I see the end already to that chaos and will try my best to finish it soon.
But in the mean time, a little look into something else playing in my mind... it's set in time that Ana discovers that she is pregnant. Christian finds out and life takes a turn for our favorite couple. What if Ana's decision is not all that she hoped, and Christian worrying nature gets the best of him... it's a Long Lost Road up ahead. Please let me know what you think! Please Review! Thank You!
ANA'S POV:
Where to? That's the question on my mind right now. I have no idea where I'm going...just where I am leaving. And I'm leaving Seattle.
With tears still streaming down my face, I look out of the windshield of the car I just bought off of a random stranger. I'm heading east to who knows where, and with what bit of cash I have. It's enough to get myself settled somewhere until I get back on my feet, and there's more than just me to think about... I also have my child to care for.
No, my baby is not a mistake...unplanned, yes...but not a mistake! I pictured having children in the future, but not right now, and not alone.
I keep thinking back to when Christian found the pregnancy test I took. I wasn't feeling well and my body didn't seem right, so instead of going to Dr. Greene and having anyone know, I bought a test. I went a bit out of town to a little party store and picked up a test with a box of tampons and a "Good Luck!" Card, just to make it seem as though it was for a friend. I don't believe I was recognized, I was in and out fast enough to be noticed. I took the test home to our bathroom and started to use it. Being in such a rush I forgot to lock the door, and Christian came home early from work. I had no idea he was even home until he came sauntering into the bathroom as I was setting the stick on the sink and washing my hands.
I saw many emotions cross his face when his eyes saw the test sitting there, but excitement was not one of them. He asked me what I was doing, talking louder than usual, and taking big steps to the sink where the test lay facing up, results almost ready to read. I watch as a second pink line started to appear. Christian started shaking his head and chanting, "No..No...No..". Before the results could register in my brain I hear Christian yell "Damn It!" and swooped his arm across the sink, pushing everything to the floor...including what I saw as a positive pregnancy test.
I fell to my knees and started to cry. I didn't expect this from him, all this anger he has right now towards me, and I didn't do anything wrong. I remembered my shot, and got it on time. Its not time for another one yet, so maybe this one failed. I didn't do this on purpose, I would like to wait awhile before starting a family. But that is not the case.
So I sat on the bathroom floor crying as my husband yelled at me about being irresponsible and doing this on purpose. I was crying so hard that I couldn't respond to anything that he said. He finally threw his hands up in the air and turned around and stormed out. I lay for awhile crying until I heard footsteps coming in. They were too light to be Christian's, but I knew for sure who else it would be.
Gail came and sat down by me, and I couldn't help myself as new tears started to come and I hugged Gail as she held me rubbing my back and whispering comforting words. I love this woman, she is more to me than a housekeeper, she is a true friend.
When I calmed down enough she asked me if I wanted to talk about it. I shook my head no, but my mouth started to speak. "I'm pregnant.". I heard Gail gasp a little, then an angry look come across her face, but then instantly to a look of sorrow when she looked my way. Then she tells me that Christian had left Escala and had Taylor with him. Taylor called her to check up on me and send me a message.
"What's the message, Gail?" I sniffled out, saddened by the fact that Christian left me here, emotional on the floor.
She closed her eyes and bowed her head when she whispered, "Take care of it."
If I wasn't crying hard before I am now. I know what he referring to, and it's something I will not do... I will not abort our child. I don't care where he went, if this is how he wants to be, then I won't be here when he gets back. I love him so much, but maybe it was too early for us to be married. I didn't know all of his shades, and this is one that I hate. How can he be so angry and thoughtless?
I turn to Gail who also had years in her eyes, and I told her what I plan to do. I can trust Gail, and I'm so glad I did. I told her that I'm taking care of the child, but not in the way Christian wants me to, I plan on raising the baby by myself if I had to. Gail was quick to help me out, having a friend of hers sell me a car dirt cheap and under another name, then packing a little cooler of foods and drinks as well what cash we could rustle up without having to pull any from the bank. She did amazing helping me to leave and get started with my new life, where I can keep my child and maybe someday be happy.
So that's how I came about being on the road, heading east. I'm not sure where I'm going exactly, but I was told Michigan would be a place to start. For one, Christian wouldn't think of looking for me there, he loathes that place. Its where his life began and it wasn't a good time for him. So I think that would be an ideal place to start. I know I'll have to see him sooner or later, but I prefer later so I am past the time for him to still request an abortion. I believe once he sees that I am keeping this child he may just give up on me and file for divorce. I'm not ready to make a decision I will later regret just to please my husband. This child was made from love, and it will break my heart to know that I am throwing that love away.
So here I am, running away, but only to save the life of my child. I know I can make it on my own if I need to, I just hope the fates will help me along the way.
