2 days later:

Ana:

I'm at the school picking up the kids. Teddy is still in class and Ryan is with him. Phoebe is with me now, while we wait, with Sawyer.

"Mommy, I have to pee…" Phoebe tells me, pulling on my arm. I walk her to the bathroom, and check inside and notice nobody in there.

"Alright, hurry up ok?" I tell her.

She runs into the bathroom, as I wait outside for her. After two minutes, I decide to go check on her. Sometimes she still needs a little help. I tell Sawyer I'll be right back and walk into the bathroom.

"Phe?" I ask and before I can get the next sentence out of my mouth, a horrifying picture paints itself in front of me.

Leila is holding Phoebe by her arms and holding her tightly, practically shaking her.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I scream at her. She looks up at me and smirks, but let's go of Phoebe.

I'm lost in a sea of fury as I march over to her and punch Leila in the face. She falls to the ground.

"Phoebe, go get Sawyer and have him call 911."

She doesn't say anything and runs out the door.

Leila just starts cackling like a deranged witch.

She wipes a smear of blood from her lips and looks at me.

"Can't believe you did that in front of your kid. What is she ever going to think of you now?" She sneers.

She is just itching for me to pull it, isn't she?

"She's going to know that I was protecting her, just like I taught her. Who the fuck do you think you are, coming in here and manhandling my daughter like that?"

"You made him stop contact with us. You placed restraining orders against us." She explains.

"I made him? No, I told him that you and whore number two confronted my kids outside of school, that his deranged sick pedo-bitch of a friend delivered a letter to our son from you; pictures and all! He ceased any and all communication with you the minute I put my foot down."

"You act like you control him. That is not my Master." She moves into a sitting position.

"Damn right he's not your Master, you filthy excuse for a human being. He is a human being; a husband, a father, a lover, a friend, a brother and a son. He turned his back on you a long time ago. And yet, here you are, about to abduct our daughter." She goes to move and I slap her.

"Seven years, seven years I've had to put up with all of this; to turn a blind eye to my husband when it comes to the likes of you. No more. Not today, not ever again. You and Elena Lincoln are done. You don't exist anymore. Not to me, and certainly not to Christian."

She's about to get off the ground, when I pull out my Glock 23 from my purse and shove it in her face. Her face has now gone totally pale. "How does it feel now to be on the opposite side of the barrel?"

She noticeably gulps.

Yeah, bitch. I'm not who you think I am either.

"I'm sick and tired of you stupid bitches. It was one thing to mess with me, but now you've gone too fucking far. Where's the other one and Elena?" I demand.

She doesn't say anything, so I go and push my foot on her chest. Pushing her back to the ground. "Where are they?" I grit out.

"Ouu-ttt-side…" She shutters.

Sawyer comes bursting into the bathroom and assessing the situation. I note the proud grin on his face as he takes in the position of my gun to Leila's face. "Ana?"

"Elena and Harper are outside…" I tell him. "What are they driving?" I turn to Leila.

"A black suburban." she says, her voice shaky.

Sawyer picks up his phone and talks to someone. My guess would be the cops.

"What were you going to do with my kids?"

She doesn't say anything. So, I push my foot harder into her chest.

"We're going to take them, knowing that if we did, Christian…"

"You don't get to call him Christian." I threaten, pushing her down again.

"Mr. Grey, would come after us and we would offer a trade. Otherwise, Elena planned to sell the kids."

"Elena Lincoln wanted to sell my babies? Does she not realize the wrath of Christian Grey is immeasurable if someone dared harm a hair on one of their heads? I don't think you understand the enormity of what you've done. You say you want my husband, yet you're doing everything to push him further away!"

Someone needs to think up a new plan.

Leila looks at me, wide eyed as she realizes this.

"You really are just a pawn in her stupid game, aren't you? What'd you think would happen if any of our children were taken? That we wouldn't see the security video from outside? That we wouldn't see you entering and exiting with my baby girl? She was going to pin it all on you." I shake my head in disbelief.

Is this girl that dumb or something? No one is that stupid to not know they're being played like a fucking fiddle.

"Ana? They're here. Suspects 1 and 2 have been arrested. There are 2 uniformed cops about to walk in. Lower the gun, please." Sawyer explains.

"Can't do that. She's a threat to me and my safety and I will shoot her if she makes one advance at me." I reply.

"Mrs Grey, I'm Officer Daley, I'm coming in, my weapon is in my hands and the safety is off. I repeat, the safety is off." I hear someone call out.

I can hear footsteps and then I see the muzzle of his gun and relax a little, my arm holding the gun falling to my side.

"Drop the gun. Hands above your head." Daley commands and I do as he says, as does Sawyer. I notice out of the corner of my eye, Leila eyeing my gun with a frightened look on her face. I kick it towards Daley, and watch as Leila's face falls.

Nice try, bitch.

"Get on the ground, now!" Daley shouts at her and she almost jumps out of her skin, but obediently does as she's told.

There's a good little Submissive.

"Leila Williams, you are under arrest for the attempted abduction of Phoebe Grey, stalking, money laundering, child sex offenses and being a head of a child trafficking ring. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand all of what I just said?" Daley asks as he handcuffs her and Leila nods.

Daley leads her out of the bathroom just as another officer approaches me. I tell them everything that happened, and then they let me go.

It's been 15 minutes since the 3 of them were carted away and one of the tell-tale black SUV's screeches to a halt behind me as I watch Teddy and Phoebe play on the play equipment.

"Ana!" Christian yells as he runs toward us. He skids as he reaches me and kneels in front of me. "Baby? Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. The kids are fine."

"Oh my god, I am so sorry, Ana."

He looks me over and stands back up. He looks over at the kids as they play, almost unaware of everything that happened today.

In an instant, I'm pulled into Christian's arms and his lips find mine. We haven't kissed like this since we were in the kitchen over a week ago. His tongue is asking for entry and I part my lips enough to allow it. My hand reaches up and tangles in the back of his head, and his one hand grabs my ass and squeezes.

"Ewww…" I hear my little girls giggle coming from next to me.

Christian releases me and looks down at her. "Eww?"

She grins playfully, as Christian kneels down to her. He holds her at arm's reach and looks her over. He notices the small bruising on her arms and I can see his whole body tense.

"Are you ok, baby girl? Uncle Taylor tells me you were good and ran to get help…"

"Yeah, mommy got me, she sent that girl flying…" she laughs and impersonates my left hook. "She was weird daddy, kept going on how i'd be perfect to groom and you would come live with her and them… what did they want daddy?"

He lightly touches her cheek and stares at her. Almost like she isn't real. He bows his head quickly before looking back at her. "I don't know sweetie, but they won't hurt you anymore."

"I know…" I'm so glad to see that what happened today didn't traumatize my daughter. She wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him. He lifts her up in his arms and holds her tightly against him. He looks at me, his face mirrored in anguish.

The weight of everything coming crashing down on him. I can see he's doing his best not to cry.

We could've lost our children today. Leila admitted she somehow got through the ac ventilation system. I even looked in the bathroom before I sent Phoebe in. I guess she was standing on the toilets. I have no idea if they just got lucky that Phoebe needed the bathroom or if they had something else up their sleeve.

Teddy comes walking over and looks between us both.

"Mom, dad… umm…" He points behind us and there's a couple news vans circling now around the school.

"I guess news spread fast…"

"It also might have been that article Kate wrote. It went online about 45 minutes ago…"

"You mean you, actually did it?"

"Of course I did. I should've done last week and maybe this wouldn't of happened. Shit, I should've done it years ago…I feel free..." I touch his cheek with my hand, before putting my lips to his.

Taylor and Sawyer come walking over to us. "I think it's time to go, Mr. And Mrs. Grey."

"Ugg… parasites." Teddy says. Oh, so much like his father already. "Is this because Phe almost got kidnapped?" He asks as we make it to the SUV.

Christian straps Phoebe into her booster seat. "Yeah, it could be…" I tell him.

He shakes his head and takes his seat next to Phoebe.

"Look Phoebe you're famous." Teddy tells her as the cameras start flashing and I just shake my head at them, as they start waving to the cameras. Thank goodness for tinted windows.

Once we are safety in the vehicle, I pull out my phone. I notice Kate forwarded me the article.

I snort. I can't believe he went to Kate with this… then again. Who else would have a better understanding than her and still be fair.

I'm actually surprised she didn't call me. I pull up the article and start reading...

Coming Clean: A Hope For All.

By Katherine Grey

Christian Grey, CEO of Grey Enterprises Holdings has stepped forward this morning with an announcement.

Mr Grey from 2004 until 2011, was involved in consensual and contractual BDSM relationships with various women. These relationships and the lifestyle ceased when he met his wife.

Mr Grey was introduced to the lifestyle after being groomed by Mrs Elena Lincoln at the age of 15.

These revelations come days after threats were made against his wife; Anastasia Grey and two children; Theodore and Phoebe.

Mr Grey is calling for all of those who felt they were targeted by Mrs Lincoln to stand now and fight back against her wrong doings.

According to a local source, there is an ongoing FBI investigation into a possible child trafficking ring lead by Mrs Lincoln.

Christian is now doing this in light of the recent events, saying it's time for him to come clean, with what happened to him when he was just 15 years old. This is what he had to say.

"Not only was I a victim, but it also affected my family. If only I spoke up sooner, maybe Mrs. Lincoln wouldn't have been able to take advantage of other children." He tells me mournfully.

"I spent years and years living in a state of denial. I considered my abuser my friend. It wasn't until I was going to have a child I started to see that it was wrong. But, even after I knew, I still couldn't help feel that she couldn't do anymore wrong. Maybe, I was wishful thinking that it was only me who she did wrong."

"My abuser introduced me into the BDSM lifestyle at 15, manipulated me, told me I couldn't be loved, and served me woman almost on a platter. Even if these relationships were consensual, they were never real, and only served for her need to control me more. It wasn't until I met my wife, that I knew I deserved more."

"Today I need to move forward and start anew. With my wife Anastasia, we're starting a foundation that will help assists victims of child molestation, incest, rape, abuse and sex, family grooming. I no longer want anyone to be ashamed, but be able to come out stronger and better."

"Now that I can admit the truth to the public, I can no longer be ashamed. I'm sure there will be a few media outlets that want to shape me into some sexual monster, I'm sure there will be people claiming that I have done stuff with them. My reasons for coming clean today, are simply to stand up to my abuser. To know she can no longer affect me, that my life now is more important than the one she created for me in the past. Please, respect that I also have young children and they shouldn't be hounded by this. You hound them, you're no better than my abuser."

So, there it is. Christian Grey, baring his past. It doesn't always matter, if a person seems like they have it all, sometimes there are demons lying awake at the door.

I can only hope that after a huge confession that we can respect what was shared. This should be a learning point that nobody in life is perfect, and somewhere out there, could be going through the same thing.

I finish reading the article as we walk into the house. Phoebe seems to be doing all right after today. She's always been a little tough cookie. We will have to talk to her later, with Teddy about everything. For right now, they both seem pretty unaffected by it. Once inside the kids scamper off to put their stuff away. I grab Christian's hand.

"I'm proud of you for doing this. I know it couldn't have been easy." I wrap my arms around his waist. After today I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. Free from all the past hauntings. I finally feel empowered, and I think Christian does too.

"I feel better getting it out. I have no idea what the article is going to bring, but I can only hope it helps someone else. I couldn't have done it without you. I think I finally needed those kicks in the head." He laughs slightly.

I'm about to reach up and kiss him, when his phone goes off. He kisses my forehead and answers the phone.

"It's Welch." He tells me and puts the phone on speaker.

"Grey,"

"As you know Elena Lincoln, Leila Williams, and Harper O'Malley were arrested today. My buddy with the FBI sent me a video, I thought you might like to see. However, you didn't get it from him or me. It's in your e-mail sir."

I can't help but giggle. Christian looks down at me and his eyes darken. It's nice to know I still affect him.

"Thank you, Welch."

"You're welcome. You should be in for quite a treat." He tells us.

He hangs up with Welch, as the kids come back in the room.

Christian

We spent over an hour talking to the kids after dinner about today's events. They both seemed ok, but they know if they have any questions to come talk to us. I think both were more blown away by Ana's sucker punch to Leila. Teddy thinks she's like superwoman now.

Ana and I go into my office after the kids are occupied in the media room with Taylor. Taylor has been challenged a re-match in Mario Kart.

I sit at the desk, as Ana curls into my lap. It feels good to hold her again. I pull up the video Welch sent me.

Elena, Leila, and Harper are walking into the police station. They seem to be arguing, with each other. The cops are telling them to shut up.

"Well, she didn't age well..." Ana comments about Elena. Seems she hasn't had any plastic surgery done lately.

Leila and Harper are still yelling at Elena, and all I can make out really is "you lied to us. You promised he would come."

Elena starts fighting with the cop holding her, as they walk into the station, in an attempt to get the other two. She's yelling at them to shut up, but they're not listening. Elena starts to flail and kicking at one of the officers. A second cops comes and tries to hold her down, and she then spits on them. They end up shoving her to the ground. Holding her face to the concrete.

Another cop runs out with a face mask and puts it over her head. Then they slam her down in one of those chairs and tie her down.

Leila and Harper are laughing at her, well so are we.

The video ends as they push her into the building, looking like Hannibal Lector. Also, stated in the e-mail, the FBI will be pushing all federal charges against the three for the sex traffic ring. The place in South Dakota was raided a few hours ago, and they were able to rescue everyone that was in there. And also apprehend further suspects.

When they raided Elena's office, pictures of me and my children were found. It seems like they were after my kids and me. I have no idea, what, if anything would of happened to Ana. But, it seems like they wanted to do some sister wives thing with me. And Elena had a plan for Teddy when he got older.

The thought still eats at my gut. I should've done something sooner. If I had just done something sooner, others wouldn't have been hurt. I can't make it right for them, but I can start now to help others. I can only learn from my mistakes and move forward from here.

"You know, they might still be running free if you didn't put your foot down, kick me in the head, and help me see sense."

"Took you long enough…" She mutters, but smirks at me.

"I think Annie getting her gun was enough of a wakeup call. I think I need to go back to see Dr. Eline." I shake my head. "I thought I had it figured out. Like I knew what she did was wrong, but I guess I didn't. I guess, I kept hoping what you had in front of me couldn't be true. I didn't want it to be true. I'm an idiot for turning such a blind eye to her. I guess in a way she still had that power over me."

"Well, I think you see it now and that's all that counts. You can't go backwards; we can only go forward. And thank you for letting me take charge for once. I would have sworn that you would of butted in a lot more. I mean I trusted you not to talk or contact those…bitches. But, I really expected you to be throwing your weight around more." She uses her hand to brush back my hair.

"I think for the first time in my life I was terrified of you."

"Of me?" She smirks. "Good."

She straddles my hips and plays with the buttons on my shirt. "Will you start trusting me more, being honest with me, and no more god-damn secrets?"

"I will…"

"Good. I promise to move past the past, and move forward with you. And if one more of these Subs come crawling into our lives, well… I can't be excused for my actions…" I laugh at her.

"How's that hand Mike Tyson?" I pick up her left hand and kiss her knuckles.

"Better now…" She curls her arms around my neck and kisses me. I put my arms around her and pull her closer to me. My dick seems to have missed her too.

She pulls away ever so slightly, panting heavily.

"I'm more surprised you didn't use your sexpertise on me either."

"Oh, I thought about tying you to the bed a couple of times and having my way with you. But, I don't think that would have gone over well." She shakes her head at me and lays her head on my shoulder.

"Do you think we can go talk to Dr. Eline together. I think we also have some things to talk about… together."

"Of course, I want us better Ana. Better than we were before."

"We will be, but right now I think you need to deal with this vibration in your pocket. Because I don't think it's meant for me."

I maneuver myself to grab my phone out and see it's my PR agent. I throw it on the desk. "He can wait…" I'm about to go kiss her again, when Teddy and Phoebe come rushing in.

"Look their kissy face again…" Teddy exclaims.

"Gross…." Phoebe laughs.

"I will let you get some work done. I'm sure you have a lot to deal with after today's article and the arrests." She climbs off my lap.

"What? You don't want to handle it?" I ask her.

"OH, no. I'll let you take of that." She winks at me. "Kids why don't you give Daddy a hug, because it's time for bed."

They both groan but walk over to me and give me a hug.

"I love you guys…" I tell them.

"Love ya too Daddy-O" Teddy exclaims.

Daddy-O?

"Love you too Daddy." Phoebe tells me… "mommy can we sleep in your bed tonight…?" I hear her ask as they walk down the hallway.

Well, there's goes that chance at make up sex.

I call Mike, my PR guy back and we go over the events of today.

An hour later, I walk into the bedroom and I see Ana lying in bed with Teddy and Phoebe. The three of them are fast asleep. I look at the filled bed and decide to squeeze in behind Ana. I cradle her tightly against me. Her body molds with mine, for the first time in weeks.

She must still be awake. I nuzzle my head into the crook of her neck, breathing her in.

"I love you… I love you so much." I whisper to her.

"I love you too Christian…"

"I don't know if I could say sorry enough…."

"I know…" She rolls over and cuddles into my arms, resting her head on my chest.

"I think we both learned a lot over the last week or so… we can only go from here now..." She tells me.

I lift her chin up to kiss her gently, and our kiss turns feverish. Besides after having the kids, I think this is the longest we've gone without having sex.

"What do you say we move this party to the guestroom?" I ask once I break away from kissing her.

She looks over at the kids, then back at me. "I think that would be a very good idea, Mr. Grey."

I get out of bed, and help her up. We sneak off the guest room, locking the door and make up for hours.

A couple weeks later, I'm at my parents' home and we are having a BBQ/ pool party. I do quite possibly feel more at peace. After the article was released, I saw just how much more Elena lied to me. She always told me if I would come out and tell anyone, I was into BDSM or about our affair, everyone would hate me and think I was disgusting.

Well, there was practically no repercussions to me at all. Most people thought it was good of me to come out and tell my story. Knowing that years of manipulation is something you might never conquer, no matter how much help you have. Elena was made out as nothing but pure evil. Especially, after they found out all the crazy stuff she was doing, with a sex traffic ring.

According to Dr. Eline, sometimes it takes just one event to make you start really seeing things differently. I started seeing what I did with Elena was wrong because of Teddy. Although, it took me a couple more years to see her as the pedophile she was. Nothing but a manipulative, controlling bitch. But, yet again, I really didn't see it. It's sad that it took Ana cleaning a gun, to see that Elena was just more than my abuser, but also taking advantage of others. That was me being naive thinking she only hurt me.

A couple of my Subs did come out, but not against me, but against Elena. I haven't had any contact with them, but through Kate, in which they interviewed with, they too were also being groomed by Elena. The pictures that were taken of me and Leila from Ana's apartment, were set up by Hyde. It seems like Elena was working with him too. To be honest, I'm surprised they waited so long to use those pictures against us. It's a good thing Hyde died last year in the prison yard, or I would be making his life more miserable.

Elena has so many federal charges against her, with the underage sex ring, kidnapping, she'll never see the light again. There's also a chance if she's also charged in South Dakota, she could face the death penalty. Leila and Harper each pled guilty and are facing 25 years to life with no chance of parole.

Mine and Ana's relationship is only getting stronger by the day. We have been seeing Dr. Eline together and talking about things that have happened in the past and what we would like to not go back down that path. Seeing my wife defend our children, herself and me, only gave me more respect for her. She saw clear as day a lapse in my judgement and took charge. Not to mention, totally hot.

Just last week, Ana and I started building the foundation for the center to help all children of sexual abuse. By the end of next month, it should be up and running. With my story, other popular names came out and shared their story. They also helped put a movement with building the foundation. I'm also trying to help the victims that were apart of the sex ring. I know I just can't throw money at it, so helping them find the best help for them, and finding ways for them to get back on their feet. There were 12 altogether, that were found in the house that day.

Phoebe and Teddy still seem unaffected by what happened with the terrible three. Ana had a different nickname for them, but I don't think it's something that bares repeating. They're still my care free children. Just seeing them so happy and not a care in the world, helps me remember I must be doing something right. Or maybe most of the greatness that lies in my kids comes from Mama Bear Ana.

Just listening to them laugh and scream as Elliot tosses them around in the pool, proves once again, that Elena was wrong, when she told me I could never be a father. How did I ever believe Love was for fools? If it is then I'm a pretty big fool, especially with the lady who is curled up on my lap.

My family relationship has grown stronger over just the last couple of weeks. Shit, I even get along with Kate, better than I ever did. She even told me she was proud of me. It was like being in the twilight zone.

Suddenly, there's a hand pressed on my cheek and my face is getting moved, so I look into the eyes of my wife.

"I've been calling your name. Where did you go?"

"Just thinking…" I smile and kiss her nose.

"The kids want you to play Marco Polo." I move to stand up and notice her lay back out.

Damn, she looks sexy in that tiny blue bikini.

"Are you coming too?" I ask her and she shakes her head at me.

"No huh?"

"Nope…" She smiles at me.

We'll see about that.

I pick her up bridal style, as she protests at me, yelling to put her down.

"Put you down huh?"

"Don't you dare, Grey!" she shrieks.

"Throw her daddy." Phoebe yells.

"Yeah, dad do it!" Teddy agrees.

"I'm sorry but they made me do it…" I grin wickedly at her, before I toss her into the pool.

She goes under and when she comes back up, she slashes me.

"You'll pay for that later…" She tells me, trying to throw daggers at me, but she can't stop smiling.

"I look forward to it." And with that I jump into the water.

I have to say I feel so much better about everything. Like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I plan to leave my past behind, and only focus on my future.

I wonder what Ana would say about having another baby?...

Story notes/ My thoughts: I got lots of different reviews for this story and I appreciate everyone's thoughts. They were everywhere:) Kind of cool.. Anyways.. Some thought Christian appeared kind of weak. I wasn't trying to go for 'weak', but like in Canon, he was always a 'lost boy' and when it came to Ana he thought everything he did wrong he would end up losing her. (i think the proposal was big proof of that, handcuffs on the honeymoon, safe wording) Not to mention he was blind and in denial with his Subs and Elena. Now, here was the past blowing up in his face. He needed to finally see what he did was wrong, and no longer use that excuse that 'he was fifty shades of fucked up." I don't know if I did it well, maybe not. As for not being a control freak especially when it came to the kids, was Ana took charge in a second when he found out! She didn't trust him to deal with it, and so she handled it. He helped her, there was a whole week not talked about, but he let her take charge.

As for him coming out, it's something I felt like had to be done. He's a public figure, if anyone could turn what happened to him with Elena and turn it to a positive it would be him. By admitting to the 'world' I see it has him freeing himself. The BT and Subs can no longer hold anything against him. (this is too before they would be arrested. And after that he would be connected to Elena, so might as go first and blow her cover) Plus he no longer has to be ashamed of his past. I think that was a big part of it.

And plus, I think it was time for Ana to take charge. Show that she's not going to let CG run everything, that she also has a voice in the relationship. That she can handle the shit that comes her way, if he would just let her. She's grown in 7 years. Now the two can heal from their past and come out better. And for holding something over his head from the past. It was a problem that wasn't solved. At least I don't think, and then it's in front of her in pictures. It's a tough pill to swallow. And remember this is just a story and a plot bunny that wouldn't leave my head.

So on this final note, I bid you all good-bye from FF for awhile. I hope to return when I can. You all have been great. If you're reading I Found You… it will be finished tomorrow!

It's been fun, I thank everyone for their support, you have helped me get through these last months of pregnancy and helped make writing fun again. So, thank you. Thank you also to Lexi for also being my writing buddy, someone to bounce of ideas with, and friend. Thanks to Nicole for help and insight.
