I got a lot of reviews saying I am going too fast with my story. In my mind I am going at the pace I want i don't really do long stories, so I hope you keep reading but for my ideas in my head this is meeting the pace. Also I am not a professional writer nor do I pretend to be so if my grammar sucks that is why.
I do not own 50 shades of grey or its characters!
Ana's POV:
What am I doing? I should not be kissing Christian Grey. I manage to push him away and turn my head so he can't start up again. "We shouldn't be doing this Christian."
He looks to me confused grabbing my hands. He finally feels the ring on my left hand and pauses and glares at me. "You're engaged?" I nodded yes to him and looked down, not wanting to look into his grey eyes. A girl can get lost in them if she stares too long. "To who? Is it that photographer?" I shakes my head and he keeps staring at me and I know he won't let me go until I give an answer.
I sigh and finally respond, I am still not able to meet his gaze. "Ethan...Kate's brother." I finally look up and cannot gage his reaction to the news which isn't anything different. He is still a difficult man to read.
"Do you love him?" I take a second to think about the question. Do I love him? I guess in my own way I did, he was around when I couldn't have Christian be around. Are the feelings for Ethan anywhere close to what I feel for Christian? Absolutely not! I couldn't tell him that though. If I did he might try to start up a relationship or whatever the past arrangement was. Luckily I was saved by Gale, who was carrying a sleeping Charlie.
"I'm sorry Miss Steele and Mr Grey, but the little one has seemed to have passed out at the table." I smiled and walked over taking the bundle from her.
"It's okay Gale, she didn't get much sleep last night so I was expecting this. I just didn't think it would be so soon." I look over to Christian. "Where is her bedroom for the night so I can place her in bed." He nods and walks down a hall to a bedroom. He opens the door and it was a room I have never been in before. It is as big as the bedroom I used when I was his sub only this one had an open door that led into another big bedroom. Like the other bedroom both rooms were completely white and void of any personalization.
"These will be both of your rooms when you stay with me. Please meet me in the dining room once you set Charlotte to sleep. There is things we need to discuss regarding our daughter." I looked at him completely shocked. He said the word "our" when referencing Charlie. It shouldn't make me happy since after the wedding I plan to go back to New York City away from a certain male with grey eyes who seems to think he has the power to control anyone he comes into contact with. I set Charlie down on the bed tucking the comforter around her and gently kiss her forehead. No matter what happens with Christian and I, I will not lose my daughter. She is the best thing that came out of the arrangement Christian and I had. I walked into the dining room and sit down across from him. I won't let him know that I am nervous, I need to be strong. "Okay we need to discuss terms so a contract can be made in regards for anything that will have to do with Charlotte."
"Another contract Mr Grey? Are you expecting this one to go so much better than the last one you had your fancy lawyers make up?" Okay I shouldn't really be arguing over something as trivial as a contract. It is in his nature to have everything planned down to the tee.
"Yes Miss Steele I do expect this to go better since you will not leave the room until we have come to an agreement. First section I want to bring up is in regards for her birth certificate and her name. I will pay for the changes but I would like her to legally take my last name, making her name be Charlotte Trevelyan Grey. Another point is I would like to ditch the nickname Charlie. Do you agree to these points?"
I look to him. Is he serious? Okay I need to learn to be reasonable and go along with his ideas, at least some of them. "I agree to the last name change but she will keep her nickname. Her family and I have been calling her that for 2 years and we are not changing that now." That sounded good. I sounded like I was in control and wasn't scared out of my head.
"Very well Miss Steele, but do not expect me to call her that." I nod in understanding. "Next point is in regards to visitation. I would like her from Friday evening until Sunday morning unless I have a business meeting whereas I will choose a day during the week to take her for the night. Is that alright with you?"
I hold up a hand. "How will this work Mr Grey? I live in New York and you live in Seattle. Unless you plan to waste fuel and resources to fly back and forth, I do not see how it is doable. After I spoke this I knew I was going to regret it and I was right.
"Skipping to the living situation then. You and Charlotte will be moving into Kate's old apartment. Regarding a job, I have bought SIP and am willing to offer you the same position and a higher salary. Of course I will give you two weeks to travel back to do your two week notice there and get everything packed and ready to move. Also at this time I will make a daycare so when you are at work, Charlotte has a place to go that is close to where you work in case anything goes wrong." I need to control my temper so I only nod to him.
"Is there any other points you would like to make?" I watch him hoping that it is done and I can make a few demands myself.
"Not quite Miss Steele. Going back to visitation. Regarding the Christmas holidays. I will take her Christmas eve for a night with my family and drop her off Christmas morning for your family. Regarding Thanksgiving, since you are marrying my brother's fiance's brother, I see no issue with inviting you, him and Charlotte to thanksgiving at my parents house. Of course you can invite Ray and your mother if you so wish."
I bite my lower lip. "That sounds fair." I am shocked at some of the points he was making sounded very reasonable. Except for the one where I needed to move away from my home and my job that I love in New York.
"And finally regarding Ethan. I do not want my daughter to call him dad. Charlotte is my daughter and I will be the only father she will have. Do you have any questions Miss Steele?"
I look to him and before I can think of the consequences of my actions I ask him the question that I have been wondering about since I sat down. "And what happens Mr grey, if I do not agree to your terms?"
He sighs like he is frustrated with me. "Then I would be forced to go to court to get these terms and they may not be so lenient." Okay Christian wasn't going to budge so it looks like I only had one option and that was to agree to his terms. Oh boy what did I get myself into.
This chapter is a bit short but this is what I planned for this chapter. There was a lot of dialogue in this. But I had fun writing him going over yet again another contract! I hope you like it and again reviews are appreciated
