Picking up right where we left off after Fifty Shades Freed…

Chapter One: The Family

Christian's POV

Witchcraft is our alarm song this morning, our song plays over the speakers of the ihome next to our bed. I reach over and press the pause button on my iphone to silence the alarm. It's 8:00 and today is my son's second birthday. He is my pride and joy, I can't believe how much he has grown in such a short period of time. Ana turns over to look at me, eyes wide and bright. She looks beautiful. She is always glowing.

"Well good morning Mrs. Grey." I lean over and give her a passionate good morning kiss.

"Well good morning to you too Mr. Grey!" She says breathlessly as I press my growing erection against her suggestively.

"So, how about a little private celebration for our son's birthday?"

"Christian!" Ana says with amused shock.

"What? It's the reason he's here isn't it?"

"Fair point well made, Mr. Grey." I smirk at her.

"I know." And before she can respond, I roll over so that I am on top of her, and I kiss her, devouring her. And she tastes so good. I grind myself against her, and her hips move with mine, she is wearing nothing but a slip. It's one of my favorites, it's black lace, see-through, short, and it has a little slit right up the left thigh for easier access. Fuck she's hot.

"You are so beautiful Mrs. Grey." Gazing into her big beautiful blue eyes.

"So are you Mr. Grey." And she pulls my face towards hers and kissing me with desperation she moves her hands down to my pj bottoms, moving them down my legs, kick them off my ankles so that I am completely naked, completely hers. I'm lying on top of her, in between her legs, wrapping them around me, I take my hand and slowly move it up her left leg, moving her slip up higher until I can see her, all of her, there is so much more of her, she looks beautiful laying there naked, with our daughter inside of her. Only a couple more months. My arousal takes over, I take my hand and begin to play…

"Christian, I don't know if I can…" Ana moans writhing as I continue to move in her.

"Not yet." I'm not there yet, and I want to come with her. I push into her again and again, harder and harder.

"Fuck, Christian!" She throws her head back in ecstasy as she falls apart. And those words are my undoing as well, and I come apart inside of her, collapsing on top of her and Blip 2.

When I walk into Teddy's room, I expect him to still be sleeping, but to my surprise he is standing at the side of his crib, up and ready for action. I pick him up, bouncing him on the side of my hip.

"How's my big birthday boy?"

"Daddy!" He says reaching up as high as he can, barely reaching the bottom of my chin. I lean my face into his hands and snuggle him. Let's go see what mommy is up to!

"Mommy!" Teddy starts bouncing up and down with excitement.

We are in the living room, Ana and I are sitting on the couch together as we watch Teddy open his new presents, he loved the train set, now he is opening a new little watch that I had made for him. It's a helicopter watch. Teddy, like his old man, loves helicopters, but the main purpose of the watch is the tracking device I had put inside it. I remember when I first told Ana about it, she rolled her eyes and told me that I was being ridiculous. I spanked her later. Then he moves on to one of Ana's gift's, a children's book that she had written herself called "The Great Adventures of Teddy." She was considering publishing it for a little while, but decided to give it to Teddy as a birthday gift just for him.

"Excuse me Mr. & Mrs. Grey, Teddy's chocolate cake is done with two candles lit and ready to go. Mrs. Jones has been working on Teddy's Birthday cake since last night. I remember on his first birthday, she went all out. Mrs. Jones loves to cook for special family occasions but when it comes to Teddy's birthday, she doesn't play around.

"Thank you Gale, why don't you go grab Taylor and Sophie, and you can come sing Happy Birthday to Teddy with us. Before she even responds, Taylor walks up right behind her, holding Sophie's hand.

"We wouldn't miss it Mr. Grey." Taylor gives a small smile, and waves to Teddy. And we all sing him a soft sweet Happy Birthday, I pick him up so he can blow the candles out.

"Make a wish!" Ana whispers in his ear, and kisses his cheek. Teddy inhales deep and dramatically, then blows out all two candles. And just like that, my little one year old boy is now my little two year old boy.

Later while I'm in my study working, I look over at one of many pictures of Ana that I have on my desk. I have one of her leaning over the side of the Fair Lady looking at the sunset on our honeymoon, one of her, Teddy and I at the hospital just after he was born, one of our kiss after we said our vows, and the one I'm looking at right now, one of her and I in bed on the Fair Lady, just after our tickle war, I have a huge stupid grin on my face and Ana is looking up at me with love and devotion. Words cannot begin to describe how much I love our son, but it's been a long time since Ana and I really did something for ourselves. I look at my calendar, it's May 14th, 2013, mine and Ana's wedding anniversary is just a couple of months away. I could plan a nice trip for us. Paris? England? No. Somewhere new, there's still so much of the world that I want to show Ana. Looking for inspiration I pull up a picture of the globe on my computer. Let's see, Germany? No. Amsterdam? No. Italy? Yeah, that sounds good. Ana said that at the top of her list of places she wanted to go next. This will be perfect!

Ana's POV

I gaze at Christian, sitting across from him on our bed, my mouth hanging open in awe.

"You're taking me to Italy!" I squeel. Christian shushes me, it's just after 10pm, we've spent the last 2 hours trying to get Teddy to sleep. I read him his bedtime story that I wrote for his birthday, and he would keep opening the book back up asking me to read it again, and if I tried to put him down, he would start crying. But he's finally asleep and Christian has just dropped a huge bomb on me. One that is very welcome.

"Sorry!" I whisper. I launch myself at him pushing him down onto the bed and kissing him.

"Apology Accepted." He grins and sits up to kiss me, and I immediately push him back down again, taking control. I rip his shirt open, the buttons go flying everywhere, this has become a bit of a habit, I've been ruining a lot of Christian's shirts with my impatience and inability to just unbutton his shirt and remove it the old school way. But I don't care, I want him. I begin to kiss him all over his chest, down his torso, my greedy hands move to his jeans. I make quick work of them, and take him in my hands.

"Ana!" Christian gasps throwing his head back. I give him a little squeeze, and he looks up at me again.

"Oh no Mr. Grey, I want you to watch me while I do this. I want you to watch me make you as happy as you have made me." And off she goes…

July 23, 2013

"Christian and I are standing on the tarmack about to take off for Italy. Mrs. Jone's is here with Teddy to see us off. This is the first time that Christian and I will be away from Teddy. Even last year on our Anniversary, he was just a couple of months old, so we decided to spend it at home with him. But this is the first time that I am going to be without him for a whole weekend. I'm terrified to leave him, but I'm also excited to have some time with Christian. He has been glued to Teddy for the past ten minutes, i think he was seriously debating bringing him along for a little while, I know, cause so was I. He is holding Teddy close to him.

"Okay, now don't hog my baby boy, I'm not going to see him for four whole days!" Christian reluctantly hands Teddy over to me, and I snuggle him, smelling his sweet shampoo, and nuzzling his soft sandy blonde hair. He looks so much like Christian. No wonder he's so beautiful and precious to me. After a few minutes of cuddling and tears, I have to have Mrs. Jones pry him away from me. Teddy starts squealing and crying as Christian and I walk up the stairs to the Jet. I turn around and blow Teddy a kiss, he and Mrs. Jones are waving, Taylor follows behind us with Sawyer and new guy I think his name is Reese. Christian and I sit and look out the window at Teddy and Mrs. Jones who are still waving at us, Teddy's face still a little tear stained. Oh my baby boy. My heart aches a little. Christian clasps my hand stroking it reassuringly with his thumb.

"I know. I miss him already too." He looks down at me and his tentative expression matches mine.

"I love you Ana, now let's go and celebrate that in Italy...together." He pulls my hand to his lips and kisses it. My husband is the most amazing man in the whole world.

"I love you Christian, and I can't wait to be in Italy with you…

Christian and I have been strolling around the Trevi fountain for the past ten minutes, we threw coins into the fountain, I don't know what Christian wished for, I wished for Teddy to stay safe and sound while we're away. I called the house as soon as we landed, after dinner, even though he was asleep, when we woke up and before he went to bed tonight. Christian and I just finished dinner and we wanted to go for a little stroll. We're standing in front of the fountain, it's night time so the fountain is all lit up in beautiful lights. Christian has his arm around me, and I have my hand in one of his back pockets. I look up at him and smile.

"Thank you." I kiss him.

"For what?"

"For the trip, a beautiful son, a soon to be beautiful daughter, the most amazing husband, a wonderful, happy life, for everything." He gazes deep into my eyes and then kisses me passionately.

I have been lying in bed for the past hour, tossing and turning, trying to fall asleep. Luckily for Christian, he adjusts to Jetlag much easier than I do. Also, I can't take my mind off Teddy, all I can think about is if he's okay, if he needs me. I get up, grab my iphone and go into the bathroom so that I don't disturb Christian.

"Hello, Mrs. Jones is he there? How is he doing?" She tells me that Teddy is fine and that he is playing with Sophie. I don't want to take his fun.

"Just tell him that I miss him and that I love him, and that I can't wait to see him." I hang up. I try to go back to bed, thinking that now that I have some reassurance about Teddy, I'll be able to sleep.

I decide to go downstairs for a walk. I put on some comfy clothes and go for a walk just outside our hotel which is about a five minute walk from the Trevi fountain. As I am standing there looking up at the beautiful architecture of the fountain, it reminds me of last night, and how me and Christian were, it felt just like it used to, just me and him, like we were the only two people in the whole world.

"oh mio dio manca sei bella!" A man comes up next to me, he is by general rule "attractive" but is masked by the foul stench of alcohol on his breath and his over friendliness. I instinctively touch my belly in defense of Blip 2. I don't know much of what he just said, but I know bella means beautiful, and if I heard his tone correctly, there was nothing platonic about it.

"Grazie." I don't look at him, but simply try to move past him quickly. He grabs my arm and stops me. I try to pull away but he pulls me closer to him. He looks down at my belly and gives me an evil grin that is so terrifying that I have to fight not to throw up. He reaches to touch my belly, and i shove him with all the strength I have. I start to run away but he comes after me, grabbing me so that I fall to the ground. Blip 2 and I hit the ground hard. I scream…
