Chapter 2
(Grace's POV)
Kate is driving like Taylor or Sawyer would be in a case of emergency. We are now headed to the hospital trying to get Ana there before the unthinkable happens. I am praying not she doesn't lose my grandchild. Grandchild…I still cannot believe I am going to be a grandmother finally. What surprises me the most is the disappointment I feel towards Christian right now. Why would he react this way with his own wife? Does he not remember how he was blessed by us saving him by adopting him? Does he not remember that we gave him a chance in life and not giving up on him? How could he act so heartless with his own child, all this does not make any sense? I call Carrick while we are on the way and inform his not to mention that he is meeting me there, especially Christian if he happens to call him. He wanted an explanation, but I promised I would explain everything when he got to the hospital.
Ana's bleeding has slowed down finally. She looks extremely pail, that I keep checking her pulse. Ana is in this position due to my son's stupidity, that I feel my anger building up every second. We are now pulling into the emergency entrance and they are waiting for me as instructed. Being a doctor has its benefits at times. The male nurse opens the door and lifts Ana limp body onto the gurney rushing her inside. I am running along with them and Kate is parking the car. I saw her in tears and the anger building up as well.
They are now running every test on Ana and getting a sonogram ready so we can see if my grandchild is still alive. This must the worst feeling in the world, just not knowing fast enough. I break down while I was watching from the back ground. I am too emotionally involved to help Ana out. I feel so helpless, that I fall hard on my knees crying uncontrollably. I feel a strong pair of arms lift me up and carry me out. I am too distraught to even care who is caring me out.
"Grace, baby…I am here now. It will be okay, we have to keep our hope for Ana." Carrick whispers as he is rubbing my back.
Carrick is holding me while I am crying and I can hear Kate whispering everything that occurred. Carrick is furious with Christian. I can feel his body tensing up, but desperately trying to control his anger for my behalf. If feels like we have been waiting for hours or even days. Dr. Greene walks in looking for us.
"Mr. and Dr. Grey… Ana has stopped bleeding. She did lose a lot of blood unfortunately and we are now giving her a blood transfusion. Due to the amount of stress Ana was in at one moment, it started affecting her body and the baby's as well. I am happy to say that the baby still has a heartbeat, but Ana and her baby are far from being okay at the moment. We are monitoring both of them at the moment. I need Ana to stay unconscious for the time being so she can calm down her body and start being strong for her baby. I am aware of the stress Ana is under. I received Christian call this morning and made me believe that his orders were Ana's as well. I know those were not her orders when Ana notified me herself. With strict orders from Ana herself, she informed me that Christian was not allowed near her or to make any decisions when it came to her and the baby's health. Are you aware of her orders as well?" Dr. Greene explains with determination.
"Yes…Dr. Greene Ana told me the same thing on the way to the hospital."
"I understand Christian is your son, but for the protection of my patient, I do not want him near Ana for any reason. Until I hear different from Ana, he will not be allowed anywhere near her. You can go in now to see her. I will keep both of you informed of her situation." Dr. Greene states while standing to her feet.
"We understand and agree with you Dr. Green. Thank you for everything." I reply and hug Carrick after she leaves the room.
We are now in Ana's room and her color has returned slightly, but she still looks deadly pale. Hearing my grandchild's heartbeat gives me hope. We sit there for hours, not speaking, only listening to our grandchild's heartbeat and holding Ana's hand. Visiting hours are over now and we know we have to leave her, but Kate refuses to leave her site.
"Grace, can you please tell Elliot I am staying with Ana? Let's not notify her parents yet, I know Ana and she would us to wait." Kate whispers between sobs.
"I will call Elliot for you dear and I will see you in the morning. Please try to get some rest and let me bring you something to eat." I plead with her but with no success, which I understand.
We leave the hospital and we know once we get home we have to decide how to handle everything. Hanna called me few hours ago informing me that Christian himself and his security team were searching for her. She informed me of the window she took advantage of and allowed them to leave with Ana being unnoticed. I thank her and she said she would keep me informed.
Carrick and I decide that Christian or anyone working for him should not be aware of Ana's whereabouts. Elliot and Mia came over and we explained the situation and that Christian was not to be given any information and pretend we were unaware of their situation, and they all agreed. Elliot and Mia took off to the hospital to see Ana and Kate. I notified the hospital of them coming over after hours. Neither Carrick nor I got any sleep. Carrick had to go to work and I decided just to go back to the hospital. Ana and the baby were stable, but still not doing as well as we had hoped, but they did not get worse, so I was still holding on to hope.
Two days had past and they were still in the same condition. Kate took a leave of absence and refusing to leave her sight still. You can witness the love and protectiveness Kate held for Ana. I went home that afternoon to take a nap; I was running on a couple of hours of sleep only. I finally lay down and I hear my cell phone. I don't want to answer it, so I screen my call first and I notice it is Sawyer calling me.
"Hello, Dr. Grey?" Sawyer asks with a hint of uncertainty.
"Hello Sawyer, is there something wrong?" I respond keeping up the act of surprise.
"Dr. Grey...uh...Before I continue this conversation, I just want you to be aware that Christian is not aware of me calling." Sawyer responds with more doubt.
"I understand Sawyer, how can I help you?" I ask with concern.
"I want you to be aware that Ana ran away two days ago. We have been doing everything possible to find her, but we have not been successful." Sawyer explains with sadness.
"Oh Sawyer, how and why did this happen? How is Christian doing and why were we not notified when this happened." I am playing my part well. Knowing that Christian is hiding all this information from us still is making me more upset with my son.
Sawyer informs me of Christian's behavior when he finds out Ana became pregnant and then the email he sent to Taylor and himself. He told me he did not agree with Christian's orders and had spoken to Ana prior to her disappearing and now he is beyond worried for her safety.
"Dr. Grey, Christian has not been doing very well since Ana disappeared. He refuses to leave his room and now refusing to eat as well. He is unaware, as well as, Taylor that I am calling you." Sawyer replies trying to hold his emotions.
"Thank you for calling me, I will take care of this Sawyer. Don't worry about anyone finding out that you were the one who notified me, thank you again." I hang up crying.
I call Carrick to return home quickly and I explain the phone call I received from Sawyer. We hold each other crying for Ana and Christian again. We decide to make an unannounced visit to Christian that evening. Carrick and I are now in the elevator about to arrive on Christian's floor. We are acting as if we were in the area about to have dinner. The elevator door opens and I see Taylor heading our way trying to hide his fear.
"Good evening Taylor." I proceed to walk in like I always do as if nothing is wrong.
"Mr. and Mrs. Grey…I'm sorry to say but Christian is sleeping at the moment." Taylor informs us.
"Why would he be asleep at this hour? Is he sick Taylor? Let me speak to Ana then!" I respond with a loud and firm voice.
"He is not sick, ma'am and Ana is not home at the moment." Taylor tries coming up with a quick lie but fails.
"Enough! No one I mean no one will stop me from seeing my son. I don't know what you are hiding from me Taylor, but I encourage you to come out with the truth now and stop lying to us!" I yell again.
Carrick is now trying to hold me back and get me to calm down. I had enough and I dare Taylor by staring at him while I walk pass him up to Christian's room. I hear Carrick a few steps behind me and I inform him to wait until I call him and he nods in approval. I open the door, which I am surprised to be unlocked. The room is dark and it reeks. I turn on his lights and I am stunned of the disaster I see in front of me. Everything is destroyed and thrown in every direction. Ana's clothes and shoes are thrown everywhere, some even ripped into shreds. Her personal possessions are broken into pieces and scattered throughout the room as well. Pictures that were once placed in frames are now broken and ripped into pieces. I now feel Carrick holding my hand in shock of everything we are seeing in front of us. We hear a quiet sob coming from the closet. Carrick goes before myself and opens the door.
I gasp loudly when I see a broken and tearful Christian huddled in the corner rocking back and forth holding Ana's wedding dress for dear life. Christian is beyond out of his mind at this point. I leave the room silently and notify Taylor, which is now standing looking guilty by the door, to notify Dr. Flynn and to come over now. Taylor just nods as he picks up his phone and starts talking to Dr. Flynn.
I go back into the closet and find my husband and Christian embracing tightly while Christian is sobbing uncontrollably while his father is soothing him. My heart is breaking into a million pieces having to witness Christian resurfacing as the four year old from the hospital. They remain in the same position until Dr. Flynn arrives and ask us to please step out.
Carrick and I just hold on to each other once again. I don't know how much more I can take before I start falling apart myself. Gail silently brings us both a hot cup of tea and leaves the room. We are waiting for hours when Dr. Flynn finally comes down stairs. He looks so tired and once again Gail brings him something to drink without looking at either of us. Dr. Flynn gives himself a minute and starts explaining everything.
Dr. Flynn informs us of Christian's melt down after he admits his failure as a husband and a soon to be father. Christian described his rage he felt towards Ana for becoming pregnant and refusing to get an abortion as he demanded. The rage within himself intensified when he found out she left him, choosing the child over him. That is when Christian started destroying everything in sight and broke down when he saw her wedding dress hanging. He has not left his room since that moment. Christian realizes the mistake he made, from trying to force Ana on getting an abortion and going as far as making the appointment without her consent. He is disappointed with his own actions and he knows that he deserves to feel this constant pain he caused himself. It is killing him not knowing if Ana is okay on her own, leaving without any money or credit cards. Having to be the one responsible if she gets hurt or even killed, as well as, their child; is too much for his mind to accept. He doesn't understand why he couldn't react like a normal husband would when they are informed by their spouse that she is expecting their child. He now grasps how wrong his actions were, and he knows it is too late to fix his thoughtless mistake this time. Knowing how Ana stood by him with all his baggage, as he calls it, and loving him no matter what, probably even more, and then to respond in this manner with her without using an ounce of his love he has for her. He completely turns his back on her and blames her of making this mistake her fault.
We are both are crying again and are speechless. Dr. Flynn convinces Christian to take a shower and to face us in the living room. Making sure that no one is listening to their conversation, I decide to write Ana's condition and how she came to me for assistance and her request of not having Christian anywhere near her or the baby. Dr. Flynn looks shocked, but he understands and respects her decision. He crumbles the note and stuffs it deep inside his pockets.
We hear Christian coming down the stairs not once looking into our eyes. He stands near the sofa not saying a word to anyone. I get up from the sofa suddenly and hug him tightly. He gasp from my sudden embrace and hugs me back just as tightly and continually asking for forgiveness and sobbing harder. I have no clue how long we hold each other and he lifts his head looking into my eyes for the first time and tells me thank you. I see my Christian returning slowly when I told him I already have.
"Excuse my interruption Mr. Grey, but your dinner is ready." Gail whispers looking straight into his eyes.
"Thank you Gail, I will be right there. Mom...dad...Dr. Flynn...uh would you like to join me for dinner?" Christian asks as if he is a child once again.
We all agree without hesitation. I glance to my right, noticing Taylor just watching us in awe. In a short couple of hours we were able to help him and Taylor realizes he should have called us right away. He notices me looking at him as well and I just glare at his direction, nodding my head. Making him read my lips… never again...and with those two words it sums it up and he nods in agreement.
"I'm sorry" Taylor whispers and I nod and walk towards Christian again.
I notice Gail and Taylor running quietly to his bedroom to clean up his damaged bedroom before he returns. Christian eats everything on his plate and I serve him another plate without him asking. He looks up to me and smiles at me before thanking me. My cell phone rings, startling everyone, having to excuse myself when I see Kate is calling me.
"Kate, is everything okay?" I whisper with fear in my voice.
"Gail...it's Ana...she just woke up!" Kate informs me through tears she cannot hold anymore.
