Chapter 2

I woke this morning excited. I get to see my baby girl today. I took a quick shower and got dressed in my gray suit with a blue and white tie and a white shirt. Entering the kitchen, I saw Mrs. Jones making breakfast. After eating, I call Taylor and tell him I'm ready. When we get to the SUV, he sees how excited I am to see Ana. When we pull up to her apartment, she is waiting outside for us, wearing a pair of Seattle Seahawks scrub pants with a matching scrub top. She looks so cute with her small baby bump. Jumping out of the car, I run to her and give her the biggest hug. I look over at Taylor and he is laughing. Ana then says, "Jason, don't make me tell dad. You know what he says about laughing at me."

"Sorry, Annie Bug. It is just so good to see you smiling again after what the dickhead did to you."

When she got in the car she said, "Hey, missed you. I was so excited to see you this morning. When Jason text me and told me that you guys were on your way, I got more excited."

I then give her a kiss on the cheek. "You are not the only one. Are we on for our date?"

She smiled and said, "Yes. I was hoping we could go tonight. I have my doctor's appointment at 4:00, so I will be getting off early. We can do it after that if you want. Will you be able to make it to my appointment, Jason? I should be able to see what this little one is today."

Taylor looked at me and asked, "Can I go with her? I have been to all of them before?"

I look at him and then back to her. "Yes. Just bring her to Grey House after the appointment."

She looks at me and says,"Thanks. What should I wear for our date? I will stop at home and change before I come to GEH."

I would love to see you in a dress. I want to see that baby bump."

"Does it bother you that I'm pregnant with another man's child? If it does, just tell me."

She looks so sad. I hate that she thanks that I am upset that she is pregnant with another man's child. I look at her and say, "Ana, no, I am not. I thank you look so damn cute with that baby bump. That's why I said that. I could care less if you are having another man's child. As I told Taylor the day we met, I will be there with you the whole way and I will protect you. You mean the world to me and i know we just met, but I feel like we are meant to be. So, baby, please give me the chance to be with you. I promise to take care of you and this little one." With that, I put my hand on her baby bump and she smiled.

When she smiled, I felt better. By that time we got to the hospital. Taylor got out and helped us out. She gave Taylor a hug and then said, "Be here at 3:30 please."

He smiled. "Sure, Sissy. I will pick you up for our weekly lunch at 12:00. You okay, Annie Bug?"

"Yea, I just, I'm missing mom and dad."

"Why don't I see if I can take off Saturday and we go and see them. Just you and me. We can make a day out of it."

She smiled. "Okay. Will you take me shopping after lunch? I need to get some new clothes."

He looks at me and then looks back at her. "I will make the plans. Can Christian come with us? I know he would love to go."

I'm surprised. I hope she says yes. She then says,"Sure."

When I got her into the hospital, my mom was waiting. Smirking, she asks," Do you want to tell me something, Christian?"

I look at her and smile. "Ana is my girlfriend. I hope you are not mad."

She looks at Ana and then at me and says, "I am so happy for you."

As mom leaves I give Ana a kiss and then say, "I will see you later baby. Call me if you need anything. Taylor will come and get you and I want you to come to GEH so I can give you a tour. Then we will go to lunch at my club and then take you shopping."

She smiles at me and says, "Okay, I will ask your mom if I can leave earlier."

As I left I saw that she was happy. Upon our arrival to GEH, I said to Taylor,"I want Ana to come here before we go to lunch. I am going to need you to set it up where we can shop with no other customers there. I am going to text her and see what she wants to do for lunch, unless you know what she wants."

"She has been wanting a burger from Red Robin, and there is a Nordstrom close by, so I will get it closed off."

"Okay, thank you, Taylor."

When I got to my office, I checked my phone and saw that Ana had texted me.

I really want a burger right now. Can you bring me one? Ana

I look at the text and laugh. Then I answer her back.

Will Red Robin work for lunch? Taylor told me that you have been wanting one. Christian

Omg! No way! I have been wanting a burger and shake from there. Tell Jason I said I love him and he is the best. You are too. I am so glad that I have met you. FYI, your mom told me to leave at 11:30 for lunch so, will you tell Jason to come pick me up then, and make sure he brings me a chocolate shake with 2 Butterfingers. Ana

I will baby. I miss you and I will see you soon. Christian

Thanks. I miss you too. Xoxox Ana

After I finished texting Ana, I call Taylor up to my office. When he got there I say, "Ana said that mom is letting her leave for lunch at 11:30 and that she wants 2 Butterfingers and a chocolate shake."

Taylor chuckled. "She has been craving that for 3 weeks now. I always get her a chocolate shake and she ends up putting the Butterfingers in it. I will make sure that I bring it to her or dad will find out and I will be in trouble."

As the day went on I look at the time and see it is 11:00. Taylor called and said that he is going to get Ana and will be back by 12:00. I am looking at my emails when I hear my door open. Looking up, I see my beautiful girlfriend walking in with a cup in her hand. I smile as I get up and walk over to her. "Hey baby. How was your day so far?"

She smiled and said, "Good. I get the rest of the day off. Your mom thought I would like to take my time shopping. But the only thing is, she wants to be at my appointment this afternoon. I was thinking, would you like to be there too?"

"You know I would love to. I was scared to ask. I will take the rest of the day off so I can spend it with you."

When I finished what I had been working on, I told Andrea I was leaving for the day. Ana and I left, taking my private elevator down to the garage. Taylor is patiently waiting for us by the car. I help her in and then put my hand on her bump. We share smiles. Before we know it, we are pulling in to Red Robin. I help her get out and hold her hand when we get in restaurant. As we got seated I ask, "Do you know what you want?"

She looks at me and says, "I want the pig out tavern double with onion rings and a mint brownie milkshake."

"I'll have the same."

We both look at Taylor. "Annie, what do I always get when we come here?"

Giggling, she replied, "The same as me."

After we place our order, I ask her, "So, what are you looking for clothes wise?"

"Dresses, jeans, shirts, leggings and, if I can find them, some new shoes. I am picky about my heels and boots. "

We hear Taylor say under his breath, "Don't I know it!" Ana gives him a look and then he says, "You heard me."

"Damn straight I did. Do I need to tell dad?"

"No. I just know you are so damn picky about your designer shoes."

I look at her and ask,"What designer do you like?"

"I have 2 and they are Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo, but I rather have Louboutin. I have been looking for these boots by him and I can't find them anywhere. Maybe you can help me."

I look at her and say, "What are they? Maybe when we go to the store we can look for them."

"They are Alta over the Knee boots. They are over a thousand dollars, so I have been saving my money to get them."

"About that, I want to buy the stuff for you, if that's ok. I want to take care of you, if you will let me."

She looks at me with a surprised look and then says,"Are you sure? You know I am not with you for your money. I just want you for you. You mean a lot to me and I do not want to lose you."

"I know that baby. I just want to do this for you. Maybe we could find you a cute outfit to wear when we go to your appointment."

"Okay, thank you."

After we finished our meal, I paid for the food, left a generous tip, and we left. When we got to Nordstrom's, my personal shopper came up to me and says, "Welcome back, Mr. Grey. If you need any help let me know."

"Maggie, this is my girlfriend, Ana. Ana, this is Maggie, my personal shopper. Let her know what you want and she will help you, baby. I am going to go look for something for the baby, if that is ok."

"Yes, that's ok. If you don't mind, will you find a boy and a girl outfit so I can use one to tell my parents with tomorrow?"

"It's no problem. Get what you want."

Before I left I gave her a kiss and told her I would see her in a little bit. Three hours later, we are checking out. She found her boots and is wearing them with a pair of Kimi and Kai Dixie jeans in medium indigo and an Ingrid and Isabel tunic top. She looked so beautiful. As we got all our stuff she said, "Thank you so much babe. I really love my boots and my clothes. Do I really look good in this outfit."

Taylor and I said at the same time, "yes."

I tell him to make one more stop at Cartier as i want to get her a necklace to go with her outfit. When we got there, I helped her out and we went in. When we got to the desk, I asked for the manger. The came out smiling and greeted me. "Mr. Grey it is good to see you. What can I help with this afternoon?"

Proudly, I smiled and said, "This is my girlfriend, Ana. We're interested in looking at the Trinity de Cartier set."

When he gets the entire set out, Ana chooses the pink gold and sapphire ring and the matching necklace. After I pay, we head out. We are soon at the hospital for Ana's appointment. We take the elevator up to her office to get mom. As we get off on her floor, I see mom coming towards us. She gives me a hug and then asks, "Ana, did you have fun? I see my son is already spoiling you. I love the outfit, and that ring and necklace just sets it off."

We made our way up to Dr. Greene's office. Ana goes and gets checked in and then comes and sits with us. When they call her back, we all go with her. They get her weight and blood pressure. Then they lead us into a room where she waits for Dr. Greene. She soon comes in and, seeing all of us, says, "Hey, Ana and Jason. Grace, what are you and your son doing here?"

Ana looks at her and says, "Grace wanted to be here to see the baby herself and Christian is my boyfriend so, I thought he would want to see the baby, too."

Dr. Greene nods her head then says, "Okay.", and we got started. She looks at everything and then says, "Do you want to know what you are having?"

Taylor and she say, "Yes!", at the same time. Dr. Greene pauses, looks at everyone, then says, "You are having a girl."

Ana starts to cry and then says,"My little Emma Grace. Momma and Uncle Jason love you, Emma Grace.

She is rubbing her bump and then leans over to me and says,"Thank you for being here with me. I really hope you will be her father because I love you. I know that we have not known each other that long but I feel so safe with you. I talked to Jason about it and he is supportive of our relationship. He told me he would feel better if I move in with him, but he did not want to move me in unless you were okay with it."

"You are not moving in with Jason because you are moving in with me. I would love to her father as I love her mother with everything I have."

I lean over and kiss her and mom is crying. She then says, "I can't believe that I'm getting a granddaughter. Do you want to come over for dinner tonight and we can tell everyone the good news?"

I look at her and said, "Yes, I am going to bring my girlfriend and daughter over so we can introduce her to Elliott tonight."

Ana looks at me. "Do I have to change? I really like this outfit I am in. I can put on one of the dresses if I have to."

"If you want to. Which one do you want and I will send Taylor to get it from the car."

Before she could answer she doubled over in pain. Gasping, she asked, "Can he go get my tank tops for me please."

Before I could answer, Taylor said, "Which one do you want, Annie?"

She said, "My black bellybra one please."

He smiled and said, "Sure. I will be back."

Turning to me, she asked, "Can we stop at Babies "R" Us, please. I need to pick up some things"

"Sure we can. Maybe mom wants to come with us."

We look at her and then she says,"Sure! I would love to. Let me call Carrick and tell him I will be late getting home."

When she got off the phone she looked at Ana and said, "It's the diaper bags right?"

She looks at mom and nods her yes. I look at them. When Taylor got back, we told him that mom is riding with us and that we are going to Babies "R" Us. He goes to Ana and asked her something and she answers him. I ask her, "What are we stopping for?"

She pulls out her phone and shows me. What I see is 2 Seahawks diaper bags. I now understand why. We all get in the car and are on our way. As soon as we got there, I help my mom and Ana out. After entering the store, Ana walks right to the diaper bags. As we are passing the clothes, she stops at 2 cute little dress. They're Minnie Mouse. I leaned over to her and said , "Get them baby. Look around and see if you can find any more Disney stuff for her."

"Are you sure. I would love to do Minnie Mouse as her theme in the nursery."

Smiling, I say, "Yes, baby, we can do Minnie Mouse as her theme, so get all the Minnie Mouse stuff you want."

She picks up 5 dresses, 3 footie pjs, 1 jumper, 13 outfits, and 1 top, all in Minnie Mouse. We get checked out and go to my parents' house. When we get there, we all get out and go in. My dad was waiting for us.

"Hey, Dad!

"Hey, Christian, Hey, Ana."

"Hey, Carrick!" Ana responds with a small wave of her hand.

When everyone gets here, we sat down to eat.

After everyone had finished eating, Mia asks, "What is Ana doing here? She's not family."

I look at her and said, "Why is Leo here? He is not family. FYI, Ana is more family than Leo is."

Carrick spoke up, "Leo is not even supposed to be anywhere near Ana. She has a protection order on him." He turns to Ana and said with a smile, "Did you find out what you are having?"

She smiled at me and said, "Yes. We were able to find out. We are having a girl. Christian is going to be her father and I am moving in with Christian. Jason said it will be safer since Leo is back in town, and my father is going to be pissed. We are planning on going to see them tomorrow and tell them about Emma."

The rest of the night goes well and soon I am at home with the love of my life and the mother of my beautiful daughter.
