Thank you for all the reviews and followers. This is my first story that I have ever done. I love the original Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. I just wanted to do something different. I have read a lot of amazing stories on fan-fiction about Christian and Ana. I just hope my story is half as amazing as some of those.

I hope you're not disappointed in this chapter.

Chapter 3

APOV

It's been seven weeks since I left Christian's apartment and five weeks since that ill-fated evening at the Italian restaurant. Christian followed me back to my apartment that night. I managed to make it through the front door before he was able to gain access to enter. When I arrived in the apartment I heard Christian's anxious voice over the intercom asking, no begging, me to allow him into the apartment.

"Anastasia please let me come up. We need to talk. I should have contacted you sooner and I'm an ass for waiting this long to contact you."

"Christian I don't want to talk to you at this time. Please just let me be. I believe you have said enough." I try very hard not to break down and start sobbing. I don't want him to think I've been upset since I left.

"Anastasia I don't think you heard the whole conversation between Elena and I. Please let me explain."

"Christian, NO, just go! I don't want to discuss anything. I'm happy now. Just. Let. Me. Be."

When he mentioned Elena's name I saw red. I had no further desire to talk to him at that point. I just wanted a nice hot bath and a good book to read that night. Then maybe after I calmed down I would contact him.

It was the following week that he sent a dozen of roses to me after work. I should have sent him a message thanking him; however I just wasn't ready to talk to him. I wonder if Elena ever told him about our conversation that day. A couple of weeks after that day I went out with a nice young man named Liam. I met him at the coffee shop that I sometimes go to on my lunch. I have no feelings for him other than just friends. He just recently experienced a bad break up with his girlfriend. Liam is nice looking. He's tall, has dark almost black hair, and olive colored skin. I'm just not ready to start seeing anyone on a serious level. The first time we went out as friends we went to the pier and walked the boardwalk watching all the boats. The most recent outing we went to a July 4th celebration. It's been almost three weeks since then. I have never mentioned Christian to him. I don't feel close enough to him to discuss that time.

Kate has been spending more and more time at Elliot's. She has mentioned that they are becoming very serious and she thinks he might ask her to move in with him. I can still talk to Kate when I feel the need, but I don't want her to be hostile towards Christian since she goes over to the Grey's frequently. I didn't divulge everything to her about our breakup. She told me that Grace has asked about me and said their door was always open to me. Kate also said that Grace was very disappointed to hear that Christian and I are no longer seeing each other.

Ethan is also spending more time with Mia. This leaves a very quiet apartment. I'm thankful that I was an only child and I'm use to being able to entertain myself. I'm happy that Kate and Ethan both found a mate that they enjoy spending time with. I'm not certain what I will do once they both decide they no longer want to live in this apartment.

I have an appointment with Dr. Greene today. I was thankful that once a month she works in her office on a Saturday morning. This allows me not to miss any work. The last time I took the mini pill was the morning I left Christian's. I don't suspect that I'm pregnant. I did have my period a few weeks ago. It was about a week late and was abnormal. I have never been on any type of birth control before and when I called and asked the nurse if this was normal she told me that I needed to come for a consult with Dr. Greene. I think I will ask if I can start back on them. Just for precautions. I don't plan on having sex any time soon, but I sure as hell don't want to wake up in anothers stranger bed one day and worry about an unplanned pregnancy. As I look at the clock I realize I have forty-five minutes to get to my appointment.

I arrive at my appointment fifteen minutes early and notice I'm the only one in the waiting room. This is a relief to me. This means I shouldn't have to wait long. The nurse calls my name and ushers me back to do my vital signs. I notice that I gained back what weight I lost when I stopped eating regularly for a few weeks. The nurse hands me a cup for a urine sample and after providing her the sample directs me to room.

I pick up a magazine and start to read an article when Dr. Greene enters with a stern look on her face. "Good day Anastasia what can I help with you?"

I start to wonder if I was her only appointment for the day and she is wishing that she didn't have to deal with me. "Dr. Greene I stopped the mini pill on June fourth. My last period was a week late and abnormal. I was wondering if I should restart the mini pill or is this common after it's stopped?" Dr. Greene asks me what I mean by abnormal. I explain that my period barely lasted two days and was very light. She now has a very concerned look on her face. "Prior to this most recent period, when was the first day of your last period?" I have to stop and think and remember it was when I was in Georgia. "I started on May 31st and that's the day I started the mini pill." She asks immediately when my period stopped. My reply is instant. It was the day before I flew back to Seattle, June 2nd. "Anastasia did you use any other forms of birth control the first couple of days that you started using the mini pill? We recommend that when you start a new form of birth control that a second contraceptive is also used to prevent pregnancy until the pill is in your system." My face falls at her last statement. What if I am pregnant? What will Christian do? Will he even acknowledge the baby? I need to breathe. I'm starting to panic and it hasn't even been confirmed that I am. Breathe Ana, breathe.

"Anastasia I think we need to perform an ultrasound to rule out the possibility of a pregnancy." My answer is barely audible; however I do consent to one. She has me lie on the table with my legs spread. She is going to do a transvaginal ultrasound. She turns the machine on and inserts the probe that has a condom over the end. She moves the probe around and then freezes the screen when she notices a small bean shaped object to print off. "Anastasia it appears that you are around six to seven weeks pregnant. I will need to see you every four weeks for a prenatal exam, do you have any questions?"

My heart falls and I start to have fears on how I'm going to tell Christian. "Why did I have a period a few weeks ago then?"

"Anastasia some women will experience a very light period during the first few weeks of pregnancy. It's actually not a normal period. Some even have cramping during this time. What actually causes this is the fetus attaching to the uterine wall. It's nothing that you should be concerned about." She then hands me a package of information and a prescription for prenatal vitamins.

After what seems like forever I head home. Once I reach my apartment I head into my bedroom and start to flip through the pamphlets. There is information about development, foods and beverages to avoid, and the last one is information about terminating unwanted pregnancies and adoption websites. That's when it all hits me and I let the tears flow.

#####################################

It has been a week since I have found out that I am expecting my baby. Well just not my baby, but Christian Grey's baby as well. I have mulled over all week long what I should do. I am very adamant that I am keeping this baby and I will tell Christian. He has every right to know that he will be a father. It will be his choice what type of relationship he will want with his child. I have managed to stay in a good mood when Kate or Ethan is at the apartment. I don't want them to know now. I realize that I will need to start looking for a new place to live. I doubt very much if they will want to be disturbed with 2 a.m. feedings. I am going to wait until at least September before I break the news to my parents. I probably won't be seeing them until closer to my birthday.

Today is the day that I decided I would go over to Escala and inform Christian. I didn't call him before I left. I'm hoping that I won't be intruding on anything or anyone. If he decides to be active in this babies life the first thing I will establish is MY child will not be introduced in any form to one of his submissive. His life may be fucked up but I will be damned if he is going to fuck up this child's life.

The doorman greets me as I walk through the lobby. I press the button to call for the elevator praying that he has not changed the code to the penthouse. The elevator finally arrives. As the doors open my mouth pops open and I'm at a loss for words. Elena comes walking out of the elevator. She shoves a piece of paper in her purse. She squares her shoulders and looks at me. In a very hateful tone she starts her verbal assault. "Anastasia I can't believe you have the nerve to show your face here. You are a mousy little gold digging whore. Do you actually think that Christian Grey is going to believe he is the father of your child? He will definitely demand a paternity test. Is that what you want on the front page of every gossip magazine, you accusing him of being your bastard child's father? What happened to the young man you were seeing a few weeks ago, did he not have enough money in his bank account?" I stand there with hot tears running down my cheeks. I don't know if I should still proceed onto the elevator or leave. Elena's last comment she makes before she turns and leaves determines what I will do. "Oh and Anastasia you really should have called. He has his new submissive waiting for him in the playroom. I'm assuming he won't want to be bothered by your little problem." That's when I decide I will no longer attempt any contact with Christian Grey, even though I will always love him.

I return a day early from my trip to my sisters. Mr. Grey has always been generous about making sure I have the weekends off, but my sister had plans this evening and I decided to return home early. I pick up the mail in the lobby before I head upstairs. The top letter is from Dr. Greene's office. I really hope he has not found another sub. We have witnessed so many mood swings with him over the past couple months since Ms. Steele has left. I think he fell in love with her and he is too damned stubborn to confront his feelings about her. Maybe they are back together if the letter is from Dr. Greene. Taylor said that Mr. Grey has never used the top OB/GYN in Seattle before for any of the previous submissive or paid that kind of expense. I arrive at the penthouse and place the mail on the table in the foyer. I will take my bags to my room and then come back and take the mail to Mr. Grey's office. When I come back down I notice that Elena is placing Mr. Grey's mail back on the table. "Mrs. Lincoln I didn't hear you come in. Can I help you with you anything?" I then grab the stack of mail. I really wish Mr. Grey would consider changing the code. Elena is a piece of work.

"I just stopped by to talk to Christian. Is he in his office? I'm sorry I knocked the stack of letters off the table with my purse. I was just picking them up when you walked in."

"I'm sorry Mrs. Lincoln but Mr. Grey isn't scheduled to arrive back from Taiwan until late tomorrow evening. Would you like for me to let him know that you came by?"

"No Gail. No need, I know how to contact him. Have a nice day."

I will need to remember to let Taylor know that she stopped by. I don't trust that woman with my life. Taylor feels the same about her. He tells me that we need to respect Mr. Grey's private life. I wish Miss Steele was still with Mr. Grey. She was like a ray of sunshine in this apartment. I take the mail to Mr. Grey's office and decide that I will watch some television, something that I rarely do.

I decide to go to Christian's today to speak to him. He has been very cold and distant with me since the incident at the restaurant. He needs to realize that I know what's best for him. He hasn't returned any of my calls for the last two weeks. He did say that he would be in Taiwan for a few weeks conducting business, however in the past he has never ignored my calls. I think he was to return yesterday. He really needs to find a new sub to release some of his tension.

I walk into the foyer and notice that the apartment is empty. There is a stack of mail sitting on the table. The top letter is from Dr. Greene's office and appears to be a billing invoice. Christian hasn't said anything about retaining a new sub and this isn't the normal OB/GYN he uses. I open it up and notice the patient's name, Anastasia Steel. Are they together again and did she go to Taiwan with him? That's when I notice the date of service was last Saturday and next to that the charges are for states ultrasound and pregnancy test. Fuck! Christian can't find out about this. If this is his child, and I'm assuming it is since he received the bill, this will mess up our relationship. I will take this with me and pay the bill with cash. That way it shouldn't be traced back to me. Gail startles me and I need to cover my tracks. I don't want her to figure out that I took a piece of his mail. On my way down to the lobby I decide I need to go home and figure out a solution for this little problem. The elevator doors open and there stands Anastasia. I might as well start playing on her insecurities.
