AN: This is not a breakup story, it's a story that I was looking for but finally gave up and tried to write. Ana has been the bottom in their relationship from day one…I want to try seeing how Christian may react to being flipped.

BUBBLES: These works are a work in progress and are also not my original characters; well maybe Nichole in the end but Fifty Shades of Grey is by E.L. James. Happy reading.

Ana is gone for the next full week and I'm stuck here…well not exactly stuck because I love my children to death and I love being here to put them to bed and when they wake in the morning. Honestly, when I can't sleep well I just move from room to room staring at them as they sleep. Hoping that with Ana here I will do right by my children. Now with her gone it worries me that I may cock up and do something that will be damaging and I can't let my screwed up past leak over to my children. I will have my children be perfect, the perfect that I always thought that I had to be, to live with Grace and Carrick. I move from staring at Teddy and go into the next room to see Phoebe as my phone vibrates. I look and it's Ana, I move downstairs so that we don't wake the kids. "Ana what's wrong how did the meeting go-did something go wrong-who should I call-"

"Christian, geez I am gone two days and you can't keep your nerves in check. I called to see if the kids were in bed and to find out how they did today with their daddy." Ana is a balm to me, my nervous rambling stops and I feel much better than when I was staring at them. "Christian I know you're brooding and I know you're getting scared right about now, but you'll do fine, Gail and Taylor will help you through the week. Plus you have family day tomorrow so your family can help out where you need it. Now tell me how my children did today without their mommy" I can hear her smile, she has always been able to see right through me. She has always been able to tell me the right thing when I need to hear it.

"I'm fine, and your kids are a wild bunch I must say Mrs. Grey. They were very insistent on going out to their favorite establishment with all those games and toys. They played together and with others for hours, they just really got settled in to their beds. Teddy got a large stuffed animal that is bigger than him. While Phoebe has a new Barbie or two, while five to be exact, with all the add-on with them…"Something is wrong, Ana would have stopped my rambling by now. Ana is never this quiet when it comes to our children, she'd have asked questions by now…SHIT. "Ana, are you there?" I hear an audible intake of breath and I have to hold the phone away from my ear.

"You Did What!" Shit again. What did I do wrong, their both in one piece, they are happy and asleep? "Its past midnight by you isn't it, and you let them stay up that LATE. What the hell have they been doing that they were up so late?" Ana is still yelling into the phone. Oh my kitten is back with her claws and teeth bared.

"They were playing with the train set; Teddy had asked to add another car to it. His words were, and I quote "I want to take Phe with me." We put it together and they stayed on it for a while. Ana, what's wrong their fine? I did not really know what time it was during our "trip" round the house but when Gail looked out the window and said it was eleven thirty I figured they should go in." I can hear her heavy breathing on the other side of the line, but she has not said a word. What could she be mad at, why has she not said something. "Say something…please"

"Christian they are young and impressionable right now, I need you to stop indulging on Teddy's every whim and I need you to be the adult when you are with them. When there are other "grown-ups" around you can lose yourself in playtime but they need at least nine hours of sleep a night. Now they will wake up late for day care and Gail will have to pack a breakfast because they won't be up until at least nine."

I hear her deep sigh and I feel guilty that even though I didn't want her to go on her trip. She is up around four in the morning and worrying that I can't take care of my children. "I'll just move my meetings around and take today to be a family day, they can wake as late as they like today and-

"Christian that's not the point and cannot be the answer to you every problem. They need order and boundaries so that they don't grow up to be mean rich kids." I once again hear a long sigh and I hear a slight moan of frustration. "I'll call Gail later and tell her to take the kids if I have to Christian and don't forget we both pay her, she will listen to me more than you in this matter."

"Anastasia I can get the kids up by myself I don't need a babysitter-"

"Is that not what Taylor and Gail are to you!" I hear her yell again.

"Ana what is wrong with you, why do you keep shouting at me!" I am now worried something had to go wrong on her end for her to be blowing up this monumentally and to be up at this time for that matter. "Why do you seem to have such a short fuse tonight…this morning?"

"There are just a lot of paparazzi right now and negotiations are going rougher than I anticipated." I can probable guess to what that means, I augured the same thing to her before, though it was she who originally told me the problem with buying SIP. I start to speak when "If you darie tell mei, "I told you so" I will witthhhold sex for a full mounth." Oh boy she is starting to slur her words a bit.

"Anastasia, how much have you eaten and or drunk today?" I ask slowly trying to not let slip that I'm displeased at the security team; I made it clear that Ana was not to drink subsequent amounts of alcohol.

"Well Mr. Grey I have had almost a full bottle of wine and Sawyer has made sure I had my full servings today." I could just feel the cold breeze from her frostiness; she figured out that Sawyer and Collins are not just there for protection. I did get a brief email stating that Ana had eaten dinner but Luke said nothing of the alcohol.

"Mrs. Grey, where are you and why are Sawyer and Collins not with you?" I have my Dom voice firmly in place. Firstly because I know she responds to it, and second…because I'm freaking PISSED!

"Mr. Grey, Stow your freaking twitchy palm dammit!" Oh my, Ana is either really drunk or extremely unhappy with someone. It can't be me right "My BABYSITTERS are OUTSIDE right now listening to this conversation and WISHING that they didn't take this job." wow, for Ana to be mad at even Sawyer. What the fuck happened today. "Oh and Mr. Grey," she pauses waiting for an answer.

I take a deep breathe, fighting for my beloved control, I have broken my glass already and have a small cut on my hand. Clenching my hand, feeling the slight pain brings me my control. "Yes Anastasia," I say through clenched teeth. I will have many words with the team and with Ana in the morning. I cannot trust anyone to do what they are told.

"Don't you EVER, tell Sawyer off for doing WHAT I tell him to!" I know I thought of Ana as a kitten, now I can see the lioness that sleeps behind those loving eyes. "The kids Will be put to bed BY eight tonight," not only has she awakened, but she is out on a hunting party. I wait for the third round of shouting, with Ana it always comes in threes. I wait another heart beat and she says something that stops my heart.
