Christian POV

"Hey bro, who's the kid?"

Fuck. Elliot. I'm not even ready for this. Where do I even start?

"Daddy!" Well, there's one way to announce it. Marie is becoming a pro at this. All of a sudden Elliot busts out laughing. The whole room turns and looks at him like he's crazy, even Marie. She looks like she's about to cry because she thinks the big idiot is laughing at her.

"No Princess. Please don't cry. He's not laughing at you, he's laughing at me." Well looking at her face she doesn't like that either.

"Hey! Sir! You no laugh at MY Daddy!" Elliot immediately shuts up.

"Daddy is going to have to start bringing you to work little one. You're good at that." I tell Marie while laughing a little. Her face immediately lights up.

"Yeah Daddy! Work wit you and Momma!" Oops. Shit. I forgot that almost 5 year olds don't quite understand sarcasm. Ana's going to make me follow through with this too. Oh well, hanging out with my kid at work for a day won't be too bad, I think.

"Okay, I obviously missed something. Actually, apparently I missed something about 5 years ago and I've just continued to miss it. Christian, care to explain?"

"Elliot, meet Marie. Marie, meet your Uncle Elliot."

"I'm assuming I don't need to tell you that I'm going to need you to explain this a little further than hey here's your 5 year old niece."

"I FOUR!"

"Yes, as Marie says she's not quite 5 yet. Close though."

"Christian!"

"Right okay. Marie, would you like to go sit with Miss Gail for a minute please so Daddy can talk to Uncle Elliot here?"

"No Daddy! I stay with you."

"Look Mom, can you maybe give Elliot the run down on what I've told you so far? I know it's not much and it would probably be better coming from me but usually by this time Marie is solely with me and Ana and I think that her life is changing enough without changing more than is really necessary. I don't want her to think I don't want her around right now."

"Of course I will. Elliot, let's run down to my office for a few minutes. I don't even have the full story but I can tell you what I know so far."

I turned back to Marie and asked her if she wanted me to read her a story but before anyone could actually make a move to leave the room or speak to each other Amelia comes flying into the room in the same panicked state that I was in earlier. I would have expected nothing less seeing as how I told Taylor to give her minimal details over the phone, basically just telling her to get down here.

"Christian Trevelyan Grey! You give me some answers and you give them to me now or so help me God! Oh hello Marie sweetie! How are you doing? Aunt Amy is here come give me a hug!" This was really just typical Amelia so Marie wiggled out of my arms and ran into Amelia's. Amelia has been there for Ana since before Marie was even born. These three have a beautiful bond that I can't say I've never been jealous of. Marie may not actually be able to remember that there was a time in her life that I wasn't around but that doesn't mean that the time didn't actually exist, as much as that kills me.

"Aunt Amy! I misses you!"

"I know baby girl. It's been almost a whole week since I've seen you! I've never gone a whole week without seeing you!"

"Amelia, there's actually a few questions I need to ask you, as I'm sure there are some you'd like to ask me. Marie do you think you could please give me and Aunt Amy just a few minutes of adult time? I promise right after the three of us can play any game you want." I'm actually happy Amelia is here. She's not Ana but she's the next best thing when it comes to Marie and she knows Ana better than anyone, sometimes I think she even knows her better than I do and I'm going to be the one married to her. The main thing I need to ask Amelia about is the babies though, and if Ana had any idea about them before the crash.

"Otay Daddy. I think bout game." And with that she runs off to Gail. I introduce Amelia to my parents and Elliot, who is looking at her like she's God, and they go to my mother's office so Elliot can be filled in on what little I've exposed so far.

"Okay Christian spill it. What's going on?" So I tell her everything Taylor told me. I can see the fire in her eyes she's so pissed. I'm not surprised, her and Ana met in a women's shelter. I don't know everything Amelia's been through, but I know it's enough for her to have ended up there and for her to have some issues from it. "I also need to ask you another question. Did Ana think or maybe even know if she was pregnant at all?" I'm hoping the answer is no, but if Ana was keeping this from me I'm going to be really upset.

"Well, yes and no." I'm not liking this. "Ana herself actually never thought about it until today." Maybe I'm liking this a little better. This isn't something she would have brought to me at work. "Ana and I were having one of our many e-mail conversations and I had noticed a lot about her lately that was similar to when she was pregnant with Marie but I could tell she wasn't picking up on the signals so I kind of asked her about it. She agreed that things looked like they were in that direction and she felt really stupid for not seeing it before I brought it up. I offered to take the test with her but she said that she wanted to do it with you, that if she was they would be your kids. I believe she was going to bring it up to you tonight after whatever activity it was that you were originally going to surprise her with. Why?"

I don't answer her I just hand her the ultrasound.

"Oh my God! Really?!" I nodded my head at her. "Wait a second. I was at every one of Marie's appointments and there something different about this one." I couldn't help but laugh. Yes, there defiantly was a difference.

"I think what you're referring to is the fact that there are three babies in that picture rather than the one you're used to looking at."

"THREE?! Holy crap Christian. I always knew you did things all the way or not at all but this is a little extreme even for you" she replies laughing at me. I mean, she's not wrong. I do do things full on. Her being around for all of Ana and I's relationship means that she knows this better than anyone.

"Hey did you call Dana and Gabe? I'm sure they'd like to know and I have a feeling your secret is about to be out anyway."

"Yeah, they should be here any minute. My sister is coming from Paris too. Do you think you'll be able to be here and help with all this? I hate to ask, and if not it's fine but I think things are going to get kind of crazy around here and you would be very helpful."

"You don't even have to ask. Of course I'm going to be here every step of the way. May as well get me a cot because you know I'm not leaving Ana or Marie, and I know you so that means you're not either."

"You've got that right." After a few minutes of silence Dana and Gabe get to the room after being escorted here by security.

"Oh um Mr. Grey, we didn't expect to see you here. I thought we were here because Ana got in an accident? Oh hey Amelia. So what's going on?" I know these two and I know they're going to hate that they weren't informed that I was in fact the fiancée that Ana talked about.

"Actually Dana and Gabe, I have a little confession for you… Ana's fiancée is actually me."

"Holy crap! I mean HOLE-EY CRAAAAAP! Dana we must have walked into some Twilight Zone shit because there is no way Ana could keep some major shit like this to herself. I mean, the darling would try but there just ain't no way! Billionaire CEO of the damn company WE WORK FOR is her fiancée?! Not to mention now I owe her $100 as he's apparently not on my team! I swear I just knew he was gay! Oh crap, sorry Mr. Grey, I get that you're standing right here and all, but I need to have my freak out. I mean there is only so much one little gay heart can take and you being permanently off the market is going to have hearts breaking round the world. And by none other than little sweet Ana! Oh no! They are going to tear her to shreds in the media! This is just not going to do. Dana, we've got to do damage control. I don't know how but we have GOT to figure this shit out, I mean seriously. What in the hell,"

"GABE! SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Amelia bellows at him. Thank God. My head was spinning. Gay? There was a bet about if I was gay? Shit. I didn't realize I was that closed off.

"Don't worry about it man! Gay was my bet too!" Elliot pipes up. I didn't even see them come in.

"Yes well, now that's we've all established my sexual preferences can we get back to the matter at hand? Like I don't know Ana?"

"Of course Mr. Grey. Can you please tell us what's going on?" Dana asks.

"Yeah!" Elliot joins in. "I want to know all about how you and this Ana came to be anyway. I mean, it's been almost three years and none of us knew you were hiding a family. That's kind of huge."

"Actually, I knew." Amelia shares. The look Gabe gives her is telling her exactly where she can go with her knowledge.

"Okay, everyone sit down. I'm going to tell you the story from the first time I ever saw Ana, even though we didn't speak the first time we saw each other. I don't know if you all remember when I made that huge donation to the women's shelter from downtown Seattle? The PR department decided to use this as a photo op with one of those huge ass checks. I wasn't happy about it at first," I swear I can hear Gabe mumble "when is he ever?" and a few laughs, but I'm too wrapped up in my first memories of Ana to comment. "I guess you could say that's the day that changed my life forever…"

AN: I know I know. You hate me, but I PROMISE the next chapter is the story about how they met and we're going to find out about Ana's condition. It's a much longer chapter and it just didn't fit in with this one, I need to get everyone in one room and up to date first. There will also be a little bit of the media in the next chapter so get ready for them!
