The storyline is also mine so no stealing, I just want to write a great story and enjoy it. In this story, all the chapter titles mean something! Keep an eye on that! So here it is. Enjoy.

Vegas was definitely a different kind of place for someone like Anastasia Steele. The young teacher was currently out in the area spending time with her family due to her cousin's wedding. She wasn't exactly excited for the whole trip, but she had promised her dad she'd behave and not put up a fight. As the other girls were getting ready, Ana sat and looked down at all the people walking along the streets. She didn't want to be in the town, she just wanted to go back to her little classroom. "Ana dear," Rolling her eyes, Ana turned to her mother's oldest sister. This woman was probably the most horrible person she'd ever met. Why did I do this? How can my dad still make me do stuff with my mother's side?Ana thought to herself. "Dear can you do me a favor. All these ladies in the bridal party have such amazing husbands and as the only single person around." This literally is how her aunt approached conversations with her, somehow always bringing up the fact that she's single and everyone else was in healthy relationships. 'Maybe I should call Ray and get the hell out of here.'Shaking her head slightly Ana tried hard to keep herself from losing her shit. "I was hoping you'd let the girls get some attention…It shouldn't be too hard, but maybe you should dress a little down. It is Amber's big weekend."

Ana was ready to pack her things and send a text to her mom she was on her own. This was only day one. "I'll try really hard." Ana sighed as her aunt went back to the other girls. Honestly clubbing and all the things girls do on the last day of freedom.

"Anniebear!" Rolling her eyes, Ana heard her cousin's high voice coming for her. "We're leaving!" She wasn't the best person to be around which also leaked to her type of friends she surrounded herself with. This was going to be a long night…

Once out and about in Vegas they'd gathered some Fat Tuesday's and made their way down the strip. Ana realized it was mostly them and then her alone. Downing her drink, Ana was very tempted to whist herself away from the group, they barely even talked to her. Another drink was defiantly needed, moving away from her group, Ana decided to embrace the night life of Vegas. She was determined to make this night her own and not be brought down by Amber and the plastic friends she brought out to celebrate her wedding day tomorrow. Amber was determined to make her last night amazing and care free, something Ana had an issue with; she simply believed that no matter what she would be faithful to the man she decided to marry…well if it ever happened to her. She didn't understand how Amber or any of her friends would just simply be okay with cheating or even have the idea in her head. What has this world come to?

Throughout the evening Ana was being a little lose. She was finally relaxing, but the hard part was every time someone would chat her up at the bar, she'd get evil glares from the mean girls she was currently with. "Let's go Ana!" Amber rolled her eyes stopping another guy from talking to her. Ana frowned looking at her cousin annoyed at the way she was talking. She kept reminding herself that this was for my mom and Ana was trying to keep the peace.

When they finally made it to the last place on the schedule, Ana noticed everyone was pretty wasted and they were now on their way to their last club. This night was almost over, Ana couldn't be more excited to be ending the night. Standing in front of the club Ana sighed Hyde. Sighing she remembered her old boss and instantly she was hit with dread. Biting her lip, she entered behind the group not really. What were the chances that this place could bring something good? Very…Very slim. The music was vibrating throughout the building leading up the main dance floor. Thankfully Amber had arranged for them to have a private table and didn't have to stress about the small dance floor. The atmosphere was wild, the lights rapidly went around and created a heavy party feel. "Okay ladies, lets enjoy the last night of my freedom!" All the girls quickly took a shot and yelled congratulations.

Letting the music overtake her, Ana decided she wasn't going to let this bad feeling overtake her. She was going to let the night take her wherever it could. Drink after drink, Ana finally relaxed dancing around with her and Amber's friend Kate. She was finally letting loose and enjoying the night as the chips may fall. "I'm going to get a round of shots." Ana yelled over the music before moving through the crowd towards the bar. With a soft smile she finally got the bartender's attention, "Can I get a sex on the beach and 9 shots of Malibu?" Smiling he turned his back and began making her drinks.

Swaying to the music she continued to wait for the drinks. "Hi." A voice called from behind her. It was a slick soft voice. Turning around she was face to face with the grayest eyes, the man standing in front of her was handsome to say the least. He seemed quite the opposite of most the guys that are in the club currently. His blue shirt was tight, but not to the point that it would seem like he was trying so hard. It showed off his muscles, again not in the way that would cause a girl to think he was trying too hard. Ana's eyes found his and it was like they both were frozen in time. The music in the background seemed to just fade in the darkness.

Ana was thankful that the lights were dimmed and no one could currently see her face. She could feel the drinks from earlier taking effect in the mist of her movements. "Hi…"

Biting her lip nervously she smiled as the bartender handed her the drink and she pulled out her card, "I got it. It's no big deal." The mystery man smirked before nodding to the bartender as if the two of them knew each other. "What's a girl like you doing in a place like this? On this quiet night, what are the odds?" The mystery man smirked before ordering his own drink.

Ana's eyes sparked with enthusiasm. Usually she'd roll her own eyes and fake that she was a lesbian and call it a night, but something about this guy drew her in and entranced her. "What's a guy like you doing in a place like this? You could've just walked on by? Who would've thought you'd stop by and just talk?" Ana took another sip of her drink before leaning against the bar, her heart racing as the man just simply shook his head with a half-smile. "Are you going to tell me your name. I want to thank you for the drink…"

"Grey. You are?" Grey smiled before running his free hand through his hair, literally Ana was already hook at this man. But it felt like the feelings were mutual. She wasn't the girl who normally picked up a guy at the bar, but this wasn't a normal thing, she was wasted and just embracing everything. "You look beautiful…"

"Ana. It's nice to meet you Grey." How could this guy be real? He was looking like a god just stepped out of a GQ magazine. Grey's eyes, the greyest eyes, were pouring deep into her soul and honestly, she wasn't thinking of anything about him. Honestly Ana was sure if it was the alcohol or just the deepness of his eyes, but she wanted to get lost in him.

"What's the chance that we'd end up dancing?" Grey asked as he came closer to Ana. Biting her lip, she let her drink flow down her throat, she couldn't believe this guy was truly interested in her, but she wasn't going let it go. Looking down at his now extended hand, her teeth connected with her bottom lip.

Ana blushed as she put her empty glass down and her heart was racing as her hand connected with his. "One in a million, but it seems like today is that day." Ana smirked as he led her to the dark dance floor. Again, everyone just seemed to just fade away, it was the two of them dancing. "You sure can dance Grey…"

Grey smirked as he let their bodies melt together, he wanted her, he needed her for something primal. Letting the music flow across their bodies, Grey let his hands slide to her hips, her body pressed against his chest; they both seemed to instantly realize the connection they were already embracing. Letting him touch her this way wasn't normal, but it was perfect. "Of all the plans I could've made…of all the nights I couldn't sleep."

"Hmm" Ana moaned softly as another slow sensual song began playing, the grinding was intense. It was a crazy that even the most upbeat part of the song in which they shouldn't be dancing this close, but it was a magnetic feeling. "I wonder…" Dancing around for the next twenty minutes, Ana and Grey were just alone on the floor. The lights were playing on the crowd and nothing else mattered, it was just the two of them again Ana couldn't believe that this man wanted to spend this much time with her. The buzzed feeling taking over by the six song she was finishing with Grey. "What are the chances that I'd see you again?" She asked as she saw her intoxicated cousin's friend trying to wave Ana down. "My cousin is getting married in the morning and she's completely gone."

Grey smirked before kissing her hand. "Come over tonight…After you take her back to your hotel meet me at mine. I'm staying here at the Bellagio, I'll leave your name with the front desk. I'll leave it up to you in the end." Grey's eyes found hers and it calmed her and sort of helped her want to say with him. She didn't want to go back with her cousin, she just wanted to drown herself in him and everything about him.

Ana's blush came across her body as she leaned up and kissed his cheek. The spark hit both of them and she knew in that moment she was going to have to decide something like this. Something she normally didn't approve of going home with someone but…. "Ana let's go! Amber is throwing up…" Ana rolled her eyes and looked at Grey and smiled. "I should go, thank you for tonight. You made my night." Smiling Ana waved to Grey before heading to help Amber and her friends…

Once the group of girls got back to the suite, Ana put her cousin to bed and continued to think about how sober she was finally, and even in her sober thoughts she couldn't stop thinking about Grey. She was honestly playing with the idea of going to him tonight… Looking at her phone she saw it was now 2am, 'Should I? Probably not, but if I don't, I'll regret it. This is Vegas. Why not?' Her thoughts played with her and she just couldn't stop some kind of pull she was feeling. Grabbing her wallet and her phone she decided to leave it up to chance, maybe this would be something to remember Vegas by. With a quick text to one of the girls in the bridal party and a quick click to uber she was on her way to his hotel.

Christian Sighed as he got back to his hotel, this night was probably the craziest. To have met someone this intense so quick was beyond weird, especially when it came to him because he wasn't a relationship guy, but he needed her like air. 'How?' he asked himself as he stripped his body of his clothes, before turning the shower on. Running his fingers through his hair. He wasn't even supposed to be there tonight, he couldn't sleep and Hyde was one of the clubs he'd invested in a few years back; he found himself there trying to get a drink just a drink something to soothe his thoughts about his business trip, but there she was. The little things that were going on at home made it easier to escape the life behind. Here he could just be him. Or the person he wished to be...free and relaxed.

Tonight, was just that, he met someone who ignited the same fire or possibly a deeper desire than his love for his job. Letting her go after she left the club was probably the dumbest thing he'd ever done; what would be the chance that they could meet up again? How could he even indulge in the thought she'd actually come and take a chance on meeting him here. 'Why did I let her go?' Christian couldn't contain the thoughts he was currently having about Ana. She didn't even know his real name. He didn't even know why he didn't trust her with his name, maybe it was because—

Knock Knock…

Christian's eyes opened and quickly he turned off the water. Grabbing his towel, he wrapped it around his waist and made his way to the door. Christian knew he didn't order room service, he also knew no one really knew he was here. "Coming." He yelled heading to the door quicker as the knocks got harder. Opening the door Christian was shocked. There standing in front of him was Ana; her brunette hair in a low ponytail, dressed in flats, yoga pants and a tight top. But it was her blue eyes that he couldn't get out of his head that were causing him to forget words. "You found me?"

Smirking Ana's lips played up in a half smile. "I wasn't going to come, but you promised me a dance. I wanted you to keep your end of the deal." Ana smiled at Grey losing herself in his grey eyes again. "Were you expecting anyone else? I could leave you to get ready at…" She looked at her watch while her tongue slight slide across her lip as she truly took in the man in the towel in front of her. "Nearly 3am. I…"

Christian smiled as he moved to let her in, she didn't want to assume that she could just walk in, but the second he let her in she felt nervous. She had given herself a pep talk before getting here, but it was all out the window by the time she laid on his mostly naked body. This woman was going to be the death of him, even with looking like she was just hanging out with friends, she looked beautiful and extremely desirable. "Let me get dress and we can dance."

Biting her lip again, Ana shook her head. She took a deep breath before moving closer to him and allowing her lips to touch his for the first time. And what a first kiss it was. Their lips molded together in unison, instantly the spark hit and it was like they were on fire, boy was she enjoying that fire. Christian let his desire take over while embracing the fire that they were both engaging in. As their kiss deepened, Christian pulled her against his bare chest, he needed her skin against his now. "There's no going back after I take you to my room...I need you." Soberness was taking over and he didn't want to let her go, but he knew he couldn't force her to take that next step.

"I knew what I was doing when I took that uber." Ana explained as she ran her fingers across his bare chest. Each muscle was looked like it was sculpted by a god. "Unless you're having second thoughts Grey." No words needed as Christian pulled her closer to him. This was exactly where he needed to be...

Page Break

Five days later

For years Anastasia Steele had always enjoyed anything that had to do with children. From the tender age of 10, Ana was used to taking care of everyone; from the kids down the street to her own mother at times. She just had a knack for it, which made it easy for her to fall into teaching at the grade level she really wanted to do. Looking around her classroom, Ana's smile got bigger looking at all the little finger paintings or even their little drawings of their families. It brought the biggest smile to her face that could be seen for days. Second grade was clearly the place she needed to be, it was the place where she knew she could make the biggest difference for her students.

For a 24 year old, some would say she settled down in life pretty early, not the biggest partier and always taking life to serious. Yet, Ana would be the first to tell all of them that this was what she was put on this earth for. She loved kids, kids were her passion in every aspect, which was why she and her former best friend Jose seemed to disagree the most. He wanted her, but only as a placement in a bed not in his heart. The saddest part was most guys seemed to feel the same way, it hurt for sure, but she had her second graders to make her smile and get her through the loneliness sometimes.

After everything she had dealt with, every path she has been pushed on, well it landed her here in Seattle. She was here alone, but got along pretty easy with just about anyone. This place was now her home and she didn't mind it at all. This was her happy place, the blue walled room with big windows that over looked the gardens that her little ones had created months prior. She didn't think this was where she would end up, but she couldn't have imagined being anywhere else.

Little feet and voices snapped Ana right back to reality. Hugs were exchanged and the young ones in her class were excitedly rushing into the classroom. Ana smiled as she waved to them as they quickly filed in. "Miss. Ana!" A little voice called behind her.

Smiling Ana saw her youngest second grader holding his favorite book while standing in front of a blonde-haired woman who was currently sporting an annoying look on her face. This always made Ana wonder why some people became parents. "Hey Jamie, how are you today?"

"I am good. I missed you! Why were you gone so long?" Ana smiled softly, she had gone for a few days to go see her cousin get married a couple of days prior and the class had to get a sub, which hadn't gone over well with the kids. It was really hard for this student, because he constantly needed structure due to his own anxiety issues. A piece of Ana felt guilty, but she couldn't avoid the wedding.

The memory of the weekend in Vegas playing back in her mind. Grey's hand causing her to melt under his touch. Each kiss, each touch well it replayed. Oh, and the amazing sex. God that man could do so much with his body. As they laid in his hotel bed, he worshiped her body, from his kisses across her lips to his tongue playing with her most sensitive part of her body. 'Snap out of it Ana!' her mind needed to come back to her school and little Jamie. There was no need to go back to that weekend, she needed to forget it, it would never be anything more than a memory for her. Ana bit her lip before patting Jamie on his shoulder. "I had to go to my cousin's wedding. We talked about this. I was only gone for three class days; I told you I would be back Monday morning. Who is this?" She smiled up at the blonde holding her favorite student close. "Hi I'm Ana Steele. I'm Jamie's teacher..." Ana smiled attempting really hard to be nice to this mother who seemed extremely uninterested parent.

"Well I'm Jamie's mother. He speaks of you frequently. I didn't realize you were so young..." 'Don't kill the parent Ana... Jamie needs a mom and you don't need make this child any more anxious than he already was.' Ana was trying so hard to keep as calm and cool as any teacher in this moment.

"Yeah, well it comes in handy when I'm chasing after the little kids that I'm responsible for, as well as your son that you are currently holding very tightly onto. Gotta keep them safe..." Ana was over this conversation and took Jamie's hand in which he quickly took. "On that note, it's time for us to get our young butts to the mat for story time, so if you'll excuse me." Ana rolled her eyes as the mother just loudly sighed and walked out the door. "You okay Jamie?" Ana asked as the young boy just looked down sadly.

"I'm sorry my mom was mean. She's always like that." Shaking her head Ana sighed and bit her lip nervously. She shouldn't have gotten that mad, but it was like this lady seemed to think that she ran something other than her mouth.

Ana smiled as she leaned down and held her favorite little student firmly, but with calmness and kindness in her touch. "Sweetie, your mom was fine. Don't stress my love. Let's just get through the day and we will be okay." Ana knew what it was like to grow up with a mom like that, her mom wasn't always the caring type, but she promised herself that someday she'd give the kids around her a kind loving person who cared about them. Some people needed it more than others. "Okay guys, I need you all to get your books out and head down to floor mat so we can get story time done." Ana watched as all the kids almost instantly ran to their places on the rug. The smile on all their faces brought her back to a happy place, Jamie's mom was probably not a nice person, but that is exactly why Ana choose to be a lower level teach and not deal with anyone above the age of ten.

"Miss. Ana!" The boys and girls of Ana's class yelled for her attention. This was going to be a crazy day with the young ones. This was exactly what made her decide to go into teaching, they were excited to learn anything.

Throughout the day, Ana noticed the anxiety Jamie had was clearly getting worst, he just wouldn't become interactive with anyone else. She was a tad bit nervous about what was going on at home. He wasn't his usual high-spirited self, it was worrying her bit. Today was going to be a smooth day, Ana had the idea to have them draw and color for a bit. Something she wanted to get them to interact with their peers; this would probably be the easiest way to see if she could get Jamie to be a bit more social, she didn't want him to fall behind in that category. From what she noticed Jamie's personality, though very anxious, he seemed to take his social skills from his father, so she was hopeful that she could break his anxiousness with an attempt at interactions. Her only fear was she was too late, Ana wanted him to be a bit more social before he hit middle school. In her research during middle school would be the hardest for him to break the anxious patterns and break the lack of social skills.

Three hours later Ana watched in sadness as her favorite student didn't seemed to be actively trying to find a friend to sit with. Even at this grade level, she felt guilty that he wasn't ready to really get close to anyone. "Okay guys why don't we head outside for recess." Ana looked as her students quickly ran out the door...well everyone except Jamie, he seemed to just lag behind. "Are you okay my sweet friend?"

"Do you think I'm weird?" Jamie asked curiously as he looked up at his favorite teacher and only friend. "My momma says I'm weird because I don't have friends."

Ana played with Jamie's soft curls as she frowned. "You are far from weird. It isn't always easy to make friends. I have two best friends, but those were hard to make too. You'll make friends soon Jamie. You just have to be open to the idea." Jamie was a lot smarter and understood what Ana meant, he knew he just had to be a bit more out there. He couldn't always have all these walls up and not try. "When I was your age Jamie, I had the hardest time making friends, but then I met my best friend Kate, she was always there for me. I leaned on her so much, you just have to find someone you can trust and be your rock when you need them. I'll always be here for you, but maybe we should try to find someone who can be your rock."

Jamie smiled as he stared into his teacher's eyes. He was sure that he could find someone like Miss. Ana, but he was scared of getting disappointed or even hurt. But he wanted to prove his mom wrong, sad but true. He wanted to prove that he wasn't weird and could have friends his own age. "I'm going to try. I want to try Miss. Ana."

"Why don't you play with Dakota, I know she's been having a rough time." Even as second graders, they were having trouble getting to know each other.

Christian Grey was a high-power CEO who most would say had no heart, nor did he care about anyone but himself. Yet, if you ask his family the only thing, he cared about more than his business was his family and that heart they spoke of was alive and well. Christian just hated letting people in due to his own past. The man had tried everything possible to find his own real true passion that could make him really see the world different, but this big wall he had up constantly, well that prevented the 27 year old man from actually finding something real. The thoughts about the previous weekend came flowing back into his mind. Ana was like something of an angel. The way she felt around his bare chest was driving him crazy.

Flashback

Christian had her laying on the bed. Looking down he just let the memory of her long brown hair flowing down across her naked body play in his head before leaning down and taking her first nipple in his mouth. He didn't know how much time he had with her, but he was going to take truly all the advantage to keep this going. As Ana's hand came and danced across his hair, Christian's teeth nipped at her nipple, this caused the woman below him to moan deeply. 'God Grey!' pulling his hair a bit Ana muscled Christian back to her lips. "I don't know how much I can take before you're inside of me."

Smirking he let his own hand travel down to her lower lips, he didn't have words for what he wanted to do to her, she was his for now, nothing else mattered. Desire took over as he pushed two fingers inside of her and a beautiful sigh escaped her lips. "That's right baby, your body knows what it wants." He whispered against her lips. Each moan was met with his fingers going in and out of her. Ana looked like a goddess as he quickened his pace. She was close, he could feel it as her walls began to clamp down his fingers. "Come on baby...I want to feel you lose yourself around my fingers." He bit down on her neck, it drove her instantly over the edge. As she came, Christian found himself using his free hand to touch himself, he was hard for her and needed her to a different degree.

As Ana came off her high slowly, a smirk came across Christian's face. He was nowhere near done with her. All thoughts of being responsible seemed to just go out of Christian's mind as he leaned down and pushed himself... "Mr. Grey your next appointment is here." Christian's eyes found his assistant staring at him. Reality hit him quickly and hard as she came in. He realized that the thoughts were just those, fate played a cruel trick on him. He wasn't going to ever see Ana ever again, he didn't exactly know how that made him feel. Was he supposed to be okay with a one night stand like he used to be or was there something else there?

"My brother!" Christian should've known his brother would eventually come visit him. For once he was happy for the distraction, Ana's blue eyes haunted him the last few days, so this was a welcomed surprise. Elliot had just finished a job out of town and was finally home.

Getting up he came from over his desk to hug his brother. Though Christian sometimes didn't enjoy his brother's company, he loved him very much. Ever since he got his heartbroken a few years back, Elliot had always been his biggest supporter. Elliot really was a friend and brother, an annoying one, but Christian depended heavily on his brother's support. "Elliot, how's the family? Why didn't you text me and let me know you were back? You didn't have to make an appointment."

Shrugging Elliot sat down across his brother. "Yes, but I needed a dramatic entrance. Mother did always say that drama was the only class I excelled in for a reason." Elliot was the oldest of the Grey children, not just that, but he was also the most childish at heart. "Plus, I need a favor...My soon to be ex-wife is about to be served with divorce papers and I doubt she'll take it very well. Could you please pick up Jamie from school? He's already been having trouble these last few days and I know Eva, she'll use this to make it worst on him. Mom and dad are busy and my dear sister is out of town."

"So, I'm the last person you've literally asked?" Christian knew things weren't the best in Elliot's world. Eva never liked being a mom, it became real when she had Jamie, she couldn't really be bothered with him as a kid. She really didn't grasp the mothering part of having a baby. Grace, their mother, truly thought that was the reason his nephew has a lot of anxiety issues and Jamie's way of interacting with kids his age. "Yeah, today should be easy one. I'll make sure I carve out time. I'm sorry El."

Elliot did love his wife once, but it'd been a while since they really connected, even before Jamie. Elliot was just determined to make sure Jamie knew love and had his dad in his life there to support and love him. "I'm asking for full custody. She never wanted to be a mom Christian. I'm not letting my son grow up in an environment where he doesn't feel completely loved. I'm mad mostly because I never wanted to see it, but it's getting to the point that I'm tired of dealing with her mood swings and I'm pretty sure she's cheating. I don't want him to grow up this way. Why would she prolong what was going to eventually happen?

This was exactly why Christian was scared of finding a lover. He couldn't stand the idea of trying for a long time and just giving up. He was scared deep down that he'd just be used for the amount of money in his bank account. Something he knew his brother had been dealing with. 'Ana wouldn't do that to you.' Christian shook the thought from his head. Where that came from, he didn't know, but it needed to go. "I'm sorry Elliot. Is there anything I can do?"

Shaking his head, Elliot didn't want to drag his brother through the divorce that he was dreading. "Dad already has gotten me a lawyer, so I'll be fine." He truly believed his brother would eventually be okay. If anyone could bounce back from a negative and turn it into a positive, well that was El. "Jamie is my only concern and I just need him to know he has a lot of support and can face anything like this." Christian knew the feeling of abandonment due to his own mother leaving him constantly.

"Is there any way he can get the support he needs from the school? I know John works with kids so I could ask him to take a look." Christian wished he would've gone into therapy early on and avoided the mess he created in his teenage years and on. "I don't want to interfere, but I just want Jamie not to deal with what I did years ago. I wish I would've done what Grace wanted and gone into therapy."

Picking up the water he had, Elliot's smile grew a bit. "Yeah, well he's quite attached to his teacher Miss. Steele. She's great with him. Something I've needed for him for a while. She's kind of been with him every other grade, she's great with kids." Elliot in the beginning was worried about how close the two were. His fear was Jamie would get to close and she'd end up leaving him, but she always would come back and check on his son. It was truly something he'd wished his wife would be like; Miss. Steele was something of a beauty, especially when it came to her personality. Elliot could tell she genuinely cared about her students and how they were in and outside class. "Miss. Steele always shows up to help. At Jamie's birthday two years ago, he only cared that she was there, which was a good distraction because that year Eva decided to make a fool of herself getting wasted." Christian remembered that year, it was the first birthday he didn't get to celebrate with his family. The year his perception changed about what he really needed in his life. He regretted not being there, but he needed to get away from one person and figure things out for himself.

The two brothers always needed and leaned on each other, it was something the two of them prided themselves on. It was strange how intense the two of them seem to just the outsider looking in, but when you got the two of them together, you could see a lot of love coming through them. "I'm here if you need anything brother. I know I don't exactly know what you're going through, but I care about you and Jamie. I will help anyway I can and if you need me to make time for picking him up, please just let me know. I want to be here through this process for him."

"Thanks Chris...On that note, I have to get going, said lawyer is meeting me in a bit to discuss everything. I don't want to be late and keep him any later than needed. Dad may have found him, but I refused to let them pay for it. It's my bed I need to start laying in it." Christian was really shocked on how mature his brother was being, this wasn't his usual side, but it was welcomed. Christian could've sworn it was a different person, not that he was complaining, but it was weird. As his brother left to go to the office of his lawyer, Christian thought about his day. He wanted to make sure he got most his work done so he could spend some time with his nephew. This wasn't going to be the easiest time in his life, but Christian had faith that he could make the transition a little easier.

After what seemed like forever (due to the thoughts about his craving for Ana) he finally got his work done and was off to pick up his nephew from school. "Taylor, we're going to pick up Jamie from school and then head over to my place to hang out. Could you do me a favor and tell Gail to get a few games we can play? I want him to feel comfortable and have some distraction. I don't know when El is going to pick him up.

"Yes Mr. Grey. I'll have her pick up some pizza or something. My daughter loves having that when she's upset." Nodding Christian sat in the back of his car, his thoughts going back to the realization if he ever decided to have a child, he'd do anything to make sure that child never felt the ways Jamie was feeling in this moment.

After a twenty minute drive Christian felt the car stop. Looking out the window he smiled seeing his nephew playing with another kid. It was the first time he'd ever seen his nephew actually interacting with a child his own age. "I'll be back Taylor." He warned before undoing his tie and unbuttoning the first few buttons on his shirt. Stepping out of the car, Christian walked towards the gated playground. "Jamie!" Christian raised his voice so his nephew could hear him, which didn't take long. "Hey Buddy!" Christian smiled as Jamie ran into his arms.

Jamie was extremely excited to see Christian, they were close since the day Eva and Elliot had brought him home. It was an easy thing for Christian to step into the role of uncle. "I want you to meet my friend Dakota and my teacher!" Nearly yanking Christian's arm out of socket, he dragged his uncle to the far corner of the playground where there was a woman putting a backpack on a child about Jamie's age. "Miss. Ana! Dakota!" Jamie yelled for his favorite people. Ana laughed hearing Jamie yell for her. Turning around she nearly fell over as she saw Christian's figure coming closer. 'No fucking way!' Ana shook the thought from her head as she stared at him. "Dakota, Miss. Ana this is my Uncle Chriss."
