Fifty Shades of Grey, The Pregnancy and Beyond
Chapter 1
Christian's POV
It's been such a rollercoaster the past two months with the wedding, Ray's accident, and the paparazzi that Ana's body is finally paying the price. I feel a sense of guilt for rushing the wedding but I'd be damned if I had to wait and marry the woman of my dreams. For the past week, Ana has been suffering from dizziness and it's starting to really worry me. She hasn't been eating as much I can see that she has lost weight. Just this morning she couldn't even get out of bed but my stubborn Ana wouldn't consider going to the doctor. It took me a while and my CEO voice to finally convince her take the day off and work from home.
I snuggle up with my beautiful wife while playing with her hair. "Ana baby, you've been down for a week, we need to go to the doctor."
Ana, "No Christian, why waste the doctors time when I know its just the lack of sleep. I'm taking the day off anyways, I'll rest up and be fine by the time you get home."
"I just hate to see you sick, if you're not better by tonight, we're heading to the doctors first thing tomorrow." And by the look I'm giving her, she knows I been business and I wouldn't be budging on my request.
But like always, my baby tries to smooth me and places her head on my shoulder.
"I got to head to work for a meeting I'm hammering with the Taiwanese. Now give your man a kiss." I playfully roll us around so that her sweet body is right under mine and pucker up in the most pathetic fashion. Elliott would have my balls and go on non-stop if he ever saw this face.
Ana giggles and reaches up to gives me a sweet kiss before flopping back down into the pillow.
Reluctantly, get up from our bed and head for the door. "God I love that sound. Later, baby and rest up young lady or I'll give you a good spanking!"
Ana's POV
My husband. He's so tiresome and all mine. I know he worries about me and to be honest, I'm starting to wonder if I caught the flu or something. It's weird how the only symptoms I get are dizziness, which makes me tired. I finally find some strength to get up from bed to go to the bathroom when I feel the dizziness hitting me like a Mack truck. I try to grab onto the counter to steady myself but everything becomes blurry. I'm starting to see black spots as my legs give in and hit the ground. I try to fit the darkness but my body doesn't seem to listen. I feel myself giving in and letting the darkness consume me.
Christian's POV
It's near lunchtime when the meeting with the Taiwanese finally ended. I've been antsy the whole morning since Ana hasn't replied to my emails or texts. She usually replies right away but perhaps she's just sleeping? Or maybe she forgot to check her phone again? I can't stop the heavy sensation in my chest and I feel like something is wrong. Finally I give in and decide to head back to Escala. Maybe Ana and I can even have lunch together.
I grab my suit jacket and dial Taylor's number. "Yes sir?"
"Taylor grab the car, back in Escala."
As always, Taylor is efficient and on point. "Of course sir."
As I leave my office I tell Andrea to reschedule my afternoon appointments. There are perks to being the CEO of your own company. Everyone waits for you.
As I reach the lobby of Grey Enterprise Holdings and hop onto the backseat of the car, I try dialing Ana's number again. It rings a few times and goes straight to voicemail. Worry starts to creep into my pores.
The ride to Escala only took twenty minutes but it felt like hours. I quickly ride the elevator up to our penthouse and call out. "Ana? Where are you?"
There was no response and I quickly find Gail in the kitchen. "Oh! Mr. Grey, would you like me to prepare lunch?"
"Gail, have you seen Ana?" My voice sounds shaky and I'm sure Gail senses my worry with the frown on her face.
"No, she hasn't come down yet. I assumed she was still asleep."
I know my wife likes to sleep, but sleeping in this late is unlike her. I quickly leave the kitchen after thanking Gail and reach our bedroom. The bed is empty and Ana is nowhere in the room.
I call out again hoping my wife would respond. "Ana baby?"
I see a light coming from the en suite and quickly walk over. What appears before me is like my worst nightmare come true. My heart is pounding out of the chest. Ana my wife, my life, on the floor, unconscious.
