ANA's POV

Hearing what Mia had just said brings a dead silence to the waiting room. The anger is coming off of Christian in waves, he stands up slowly and gets right in Mia's face

"You did what?" he says in a deadly whisper

"I called Phoebe...she has a right to be here just like everyone else Christian"

I think of my daughter who have have only seen about 6 times in 4 years, at first we had spoken on the phone all the time at first but as the months went on the calls got less and less, I have not spoken to her in about 5 months, it broke my heart thinking about our broken relationship.

4 Years before Ana and Christians house

God why! Why did she have to do this today! I don't think I have ever seen Christian this angry and judging by the looks on everyone's face this is a first for most of them.

It is Matthews 10th birthday and the whole family is here, Grace, Carrick, Mia, Ethan, Elliot, Kate ...well almost the whole family I feel a pang of sorrow when I think of my mom and Ray, I lost my mom 14 years ago while I was pregnant with Carly to a car crash, I thought I was going to lose my mind but I had to keep strong for the little life I had growing inside me, we did not know what we were having and wanted it to be a surprise, when the doctors placed my new born baby girl on my chest I sent a thank you to the heavens for keeping her safe and to my mom for looking over me, when the doctor asked if we had a name before I could speak Christian beat me to it and announced

Carla Katherine Grey, I fell even more in love with him at that moment because not once had I mentioned I wanted the baby named after my mom and my best friend.

Ray died peacefully in his sleep last year, years of burgers and beers had taken its toll and his heart just simple stopped, I did not have chance to say goodbye to either of them but I always smile thinking that my last words to my mom were "I love you mom" and to Ray it was "You are the best daddy in the world" to which he replied "I love you too Annie, always have, always will".

Now looking at my husband and daughter toe to toe screaming at each other I wish I could talk to my parents and ask what to do but I don't think god himself would know what to do when Phoebe and Christian Grey fight.

It all started in the summer when Phoebe announced that she was going to Columbia University in New York, now I was very proud of her for getting in. Christian was pissed! See she had already been awarded a full scholarship to Harvard, it was all planned out, she would leave at the end of August and move in with Teddy at his apartment just off campus, security was all arranged and every last detail gone over with a fine tooth comb. Then she threw a spanner in the works when she suddenly changed her mind. She had never even mentioned New York before and she was giving her father and Taylor less than 4 weeks to get and apartment and security in place, she then shocked us more when she said she had an apartment all picked out, with great security in the building, Christian calmed down a little then and he took in the amount of work she had put into finding a safe place, she knew how he was about security.

Then she dropped another bomb. A contract for her father to sign. I had to stifle my laughter at the look of shock on his face when she put it on his desk, seeing as how we started with him handing me a contract when we started dating. I though Phoebe's contract was fair and it was legally binding because she had gotten Carrick to draft it.

Her terms were simple. Her college security was just that. Security. Not spies. She wanted him to sign it to say that her every move would not be reported back to him, she agreed that security would follow her but that was it, if she wanted her father and I to know about her college experience she would tell us in her own time. The only time security would intervene would be if she was in danger, if he broke the contract in any way he would have to donate 1 million dollars for each infraction to the "Make Weed Legal" campaign and would make a public statement that he was behind the campaign.

Christian hates drugs and his name being linked to anything like that would affect his business. She had him over a barrel and he knew it so he signed. Later that night he told me he was proud of her, she wanted something and came up with a plan which would get it for her. She was going to make a great addition to GEH one day.

She said that she wanted to be in the hustle and bustle of New York and Columbia had a great business and economics course. She may have had her father fooled with that answer about making such a drastic change in her life plan. I thought for sure there was a boy involved somewhere and I was right but she would never say for sure and stuck to her story.

Now watching tears steam down her face as she screams at her father that she is moving in with her boyfriend even after Christian had forbidden her from even seeing him made my heart break a little, even though I did not agree with her choice of boyfriend I could see what Christian could not, it was not just a fling to get one over on the great Christian Grey, Phoebe loved him and after meeting him only 1 time 2 weeks ago I could see he loved my daughter.

To say he was not a great pick for our daughter was an understatement. He was the middle son of Frank Luciano. Luciano as in Charles "Lucky "Luciano the Mafia lord.

Frank is his great grandson making Phoebes boyfriend Luke Luciano his great-great grandson. Frank Luciano is known as the owner of NY by the media, he has his hands in all sorts of pies, everything from restaurants, clubs, hotels, stores, car dealerships, office buildings, you name it, he owned it and with his 3 sons, Frank Jr, Luke and Daniel helping run all the family businesses they got a reputation in the papers as the family not to be messed with.

Enter Christian Grey!

Christian had flown to New York to close a deal on a office building that he needed for his telecommunication company, all he needed to do was hammer out a few more details and sign, when he got there he was told by the current owner that he had changed his mind. Christian was fuming! He came back to Seattle in a rage and told welsh to look into why he had changed his mind so fast, that is when he found out that Frank Luciano had made an offer for the same amount of money for the building as GEH only he told the owner that if he did not accept his bid he would be blackballed from any Luciano owned property in NY which was basically everything in NY. So he sold it to Frank and Christian lost over 10 million when the telecommunications company whet bust.

3 months after the deal went south Christian and I flew to New York for a fundraiser and Frank and his wife Sandy just happened to be in attendance,Even though they were not the mafia the Luciano's sure looked the part with their entourage of security that were clearly packing heat and by the way they carried themselves power poured off them

It all happened so fast, Christian and I had gone to a empty room to have "Alone time" when we came out we went to the bathroom to clean up and came face to face with the Luciano's, harsh words were spoken and Christian and Frank ended up in a fist fight, both in tux's! During the fight Franks security had pulled a gun, and told Christian to get off of him, to which Taylor and Sawyer also drew guns, Sandra and I managed to calm everything down but the look of hatred that passed between the two men was hard to miss.

The words Mortal Enemy's came to mind.

I am brought out of my thoughts by Christian who is now screaming at Phoebe, I need to try and calm him down, so I walk over and place my hands on his chest

"Christian please calm down we need to speak about this rationally"

"NO Ana she needs to fucking listen for once in her fucking life!" he is now pointing his finger in Phoebes face

"NO I WILL NOT, I LOVE LUKE AND HE LOVES ME, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ACCEPT THAT"

"You are not moving in with him because you are not even going to see him ever again! DO NOT DEFY ME PHOEBE!"

"You are out of your mind! I am going back to collage in 2 weeks so I will see him you CAN NOT KEEP ME FROM HIM"

"I can and I fucking WILL"

"You know what! I am out of here!" Phoebe threw her hands in the air and raced up the stairs.

"Christian please I am begging you to calm down before either of you say something you will regret" I implore him

"Ana, she can't see it! He is using her to get back at me! She will ruin her life if she continues with this" he is so angry his breath is coming out in harsh puffs

We leave the rest of the family in the family room and walk in the foyer just as Phoebe is coming down the stairs with her bag slung over he shoulder and a suitcase in her hands. I cant let my daughter leave now, not like this.

"Phoebe please just stay and later we can all sit down and calmly talk about this" I clutch her hand to mine hoping to convey how much I love her. Carrick, Grace, Elliot, Mia, Kate and Teddy have all now walked in the foyer and are watching the 3 of us.

"I cant mom, I have to go, I can't take it anymore! Always being controlled not being able to think for yourself or fall in love with who you want... I love my family mom... But I love Luke and I want to be with him... We love each other mom"

Christian lets out a snort when she says this. I know his anger has got the better of him and that he doesn't really mean it, and I know he will regret it as soon as it leave his mouth, but he says it anyway. The sentence that drove our daughter away

"Oh please it's not love! You are just a stupid little girl who opened her legs to him! Let me tell you this Phoebe, if you walk out that door to become his whore, don't you EVER come back!" he spits at her.

The whole room gasps at his words to his daughter. I know he feels like things are out of control right now but he has gone too far. A lone tear falls down Phoebes cheek, she just stands there stunned at his words, then her eyes change, the hurt is gone and in it's place coldness, she puts her bag down and lets go of her suitcase, judging by the smirk Christian has on his face he thinks that she is staying, in stead she walks over to me and wraps her arms around me

"I love you mom, so much don't ever forget that... I will call you when I get to New York" I start sobbing in her arms and try and convince her to stay but it's no good. She nods her head and mutters a goodbye to everyone and without even looking at her father, walks out the door.

It takes Christian a minute to realize what has happened but when he does the look on his face will haunt me forever, he runs out the door screaming for Phoebe to come back and that he is sorry but the taxi she must have called is already half way down the driveway, he crumples to his knees and holds his face in his hands, even though I have never been as mad at him as I am right now, he is still the love of my life and he needs me, I walk over and kneel beside him and he puts his hands around me crying

"We..we...shes gone Ana...we. We... Lost her" I stiffen at his words and I can't help my bitchy response

"No Christian..not we...you! You lost her"

Little did I know at the time but the whole family lost her, at first she called everyone once a week and then it was every 2 weeks then once in a while, I know she has seen different members over the last 4 years but only if they were in NY for business or in the girls case shopping and from what I can tell over the last 6 months the rest of the family have heard nothing from her. Ted refused to speak to her point blank siding with his father at every turn.

Christian sent a CPO to keep and eye on Phoebe the day after she left. He returned to Seattle not 24 hours later with 2 black eyes and a split lip with a message from Luke Luciano. My woman does not need a baby sitter, I look after what is mine.

After that Christian pretended that Phoebe did not exists, it caused us to have many fights, It wasn't until I dragged him to John Flynn that I understood why he was being so cold towards our daughter. Abandonment. He felt like his birth mother left him and now

the circle was compleat with Phoebe abandoning him. So for the last 4 years every time Phoebes name was brought us he would leave the room

I sigh thinking about what has happened over the last 4 years and stand up to get between my husband and Mia

"Call her back and tell her to stay in New York!" Christian says in his CEO voice

"No!...I called her hours ago Christian, she is already on her way" Mia is not backing down

"Both of you sit down, Christian what's done is done, you need to get a hold of your emotions for the sake of your mother, she needs you Christian, and whether you like it or not, your daughter will be in this room soon and I do not want you both to be screaming at each other, this is a hospital, you can not go all fifty shades here" I whisper to him
