A/N… Hello everyone. Here is the sequel to flight or fight…. This chapter is short as an introduction to the story…The rest will be longer… Enjoy… NO this is NOT a cheating story and NO they will not be separated..

It is Christmas time here in the Grey home. This is the one time of the year I love to shop, yes I Ana Grey love to shop at Christmas time. Even being 3 months pregnant with my 3rd child has not slowed me down. Teddy is now 4, Phoebe is 2 ½ and they both keep me on my toes. Teddy is a mini Christian through and through right down to his looks too. He has his dad's CEO attitude sometimes but he also has my negotiating skills. Phoebe my sweet Phoebe she is a mini Mia, she is a ball of energy and always so happy. She was such an easy going baby hardly ever crying. In the years since I have reconciled my marriage to Christian things have been relatively calm. Of course we have had our share of squabbles but who don't in a marriage?

It's Dec 2nd and I am happily helping with the Christmas decorations in the house. I am up on a step ladder hanging garland in the living room.

"Ana what in the hell do you think you are doing up on that ladder?"

"Christian you startled me. I didn't hear you come in. Why are you home so early?"

"I had some business to take care of and thought I would stop by home first to see how you were. I guess it's a good thing I did" I detect a hint of anger in his voice.

"Ana please get off the ladder. We have people that can hang the decorations for us."

"Christian it is only 5 steps up, I am perfectly safe I know that's your main concern, and besides I like helping with the decorations it makes me happy" I knew that would get to him my happiness is always a goal of his. He shakes his head and sighs

"Fine just be careful. I need to head out before I am late for an appointment" He walks over and gives me a gentle kiss and turns to leave. Just before he exits the room he turns back once again.

"Anastasia" I look at him

"I love you"

"I love you too Christian" And with that said he leaves. Odd something seems a little off with him but I can't quit put my finger on it.

More days pass filled with decorating and shopping. I have bought almost everyone's presents except Christians. He is always hard to buy for, what do you give the man who has everything. Christian has been acting real off lately; maybe it is just because he is tired. He has been having several late meeting the last couple of weeks. I really need to do something special for him since he works so hard to take care of the family. I'm brought out of my thought when my cell rings; I look at caller ID and see it is Kate

"Hey Kate, what's up?"

"Oh my god Ana have you heard about Jose?"

"What are you talking about Kate?"

"Fuck Ana he was seen at a coffee shop with none other than Mr. Lincoln"

"What? As in the drooling diaper wearing bitch trolls ex-husband?"

"The one and only"

"Kate how did you find out?"

"Honey I am a reporter and you have to remember anything involving bitch troll is news. Every appeal her attorneys file for her to allow to go home is news and that makes everyone connected to her news. Well Mr. Bitch troll is news and what he does and who he associates with is news especially when the associate is a mutual acutance of his and the Greys. Ana this has not hit the papers yet but it is only a matter of time"

"Ana? Ana? Hello Ana are you there?"

"Yes I am here. Why would he be with Elena's ex-husband? I have hardly spoken to Jose in years."

"I don't know Ana, but I don't like it one bit"

I speak to Kate for a few more minutes and end the call with her. I wonder if Christian knows something and that is why he has been so off lately. I decide to call him. It is about 12:30 so he should be at lunch.

His phone goes right to voicemail. I call the office, Andrea tells me he is at lunch. I try his cell again and voicemail. I call Taylor.

"Sorry Ana he is in a meeting right now"

Odd Andrea says he is at lunch, Taylor says he's in a meeting. What the hell is going on here? I decide to wait tell Christian gets home to ask him if he knew anything about Jose and also about what happened with trying to reach him today. When Christian finally arrives home it is almost 9pm. Both kids are in bed and I am sitting on the couch staring into the fireplace something just don't feel right but I can't figure it out I don't know if something is wrong or if it is just my hormones. When I tell Christian about Kate's phone call I can tell he knew nothing about it. 5o goes bat shit crazy. I don't get the chance to talk to about trying to reach him today because he is off and screaming commands to Taylor to find details dig deeper.

CPOV

This is the last thing I need right now. What in the hell is Jose and Linc doing together? Shit I don't have time for this, as it is I am stretching myself thin. With Ana, two kids and work and now this shit storm. What are they up to? Are they plotting something? Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, shit I don't know. I see Shanna tomorrow, maybe we should post pone this until I can figure out the Jose Linc bullshit.
