Chapter 6

'Oh, Rose what has she done to you? Please wake up baby' I say while I grab my daughter's hand. We are in a private room and Rose has just come down from theatre for emergency surgery, the doctor has told me that whoever did this had broken two ribs and her spleen has been ruptured not mentioning a broken shoulder and ankle and all the bruises.

'Christian?' a voice interrupted my thoughts. I look up and Ana is being pushed into the room in a wheelchair by a nurse. She is pale and looks tired and has lost loads of weight. When she gets closer to the bed, she sees the state that Rose is in and she bursts into tears, I get up and hug my wife.

'Oh Christian, what has happened?'

'Baby, we just don't know, Taylor found Rose but Leila has gone again. The doctors has had to surgery on Rose, she has had a ruptured spleen. Everything went ok but it's just a waiting game now for her to wake up. It could be days.'

Ana tries to get up but flinches in pain.

'Can she hear us? I need to talk to you and I don't want her to hear us, can we go outside the room?' she says while she grabs Rose's hand.

'Yes, of course' I push her into the hallway and I sit in a chair next to her.

'Christian, what happened when I got shot? You told me that Taylor was with you the whole time, so who woke me up? It doesn't make sense'

'Taylor has rung me, he went through the CCTV and all he can see is you walking out of the house by yourself, no one was around to stop you for some reason and the outside cameras shows you walking towards the gate and then disappearing from view, do you think you slept walked?'

'I..I..I don't know but it was probably likely, but how did I know where you were? Or that you were in trouble? And what about Leila talking to me?'

'What? Leila didn't talk to you, you appeared out of nowhere, you jumped into the line of fire

Ana looks at me confused. What happened to her? Sleepwalking? Sub conscious telling her where we were?

'You need to go to sleep baby' I say as I stroke her hair.

'No! I don't want to leave her, she needs us. Please don't make me leave her' As she says that, a nurse walks past. I get up and chase after her.

'Excuse me, my wife doesn't want to leave our daughter alone and I want to be with them both. Is there any chance of my wife's bed being moved into this one with Rose?'

The nurse looks at me with glazy eyes and smiles at me.

'Of course Mr Grey, I will get someone to bring Mrs Grey's bed in as soon as possible' I shake her hand and thank her then walk back to Ana.

'What was that all about?' She asks suspiciously

'It's all sorted, the doctors are moving your bed into Rose's room as soon as they can. I can't be in two places at once and I would need to look after both of my girls'

Ana smiles at me and goes to get up but shouts out in pain

'How long am I going to be in this fucking wheelchair?'

'We are going to have to talk to the doctor about that, as soon as Rose is better we can go home to Seattle. She will get better I promise you. As for Leila, the team are searching for her now, she won't get very far. Come on, the bed is being brought it now, let's go and put you to bed'

'Thanks for taking time out to talk today John, I hope I didn't wake you' I have decided to talk to Dr. Flynn and see if he can make some sense of what has happened.

'No Christian, I am actually getting ready for work it's 7 am here. What can I do for you? Has Ana said why she was at the scene?'

'Actually, yes. She told me that she got woken by Taylor and was brought to the scene in his car, she has also told me that Leila had spoken to her just before the shooting.'

'I see, so what really happened? '

I sigh and take a deep breath

'Well Taylor and I went to go and find Leila and when we found her she had pulled a gun out and was aiming at me and as we were standing there we heard a noise then suddenly I see Ana jumping in front of me and Leila was shooting at her. I ran to Ana and Leila untied Rose and ran followed closely by Taylor.'

I can hear John sigh on the other end of the phone and click a pen.

'So, what is the problem then?'

'The problem is, john, when Ana woke up she ask me if I had fired Taylor and I couldn't understand why. She told me that Taylor had come to pick her up and that Leila had talked to her. Taylor was with me the whole time and Leila had spoken a word. There was no car and there was no way that Ana would of known where we were. The CCTV in the house showed Ana leaving the house on her own and walking to the gate and out of sight.'

'Right I see, well it sounds to me that she was half between sleepwalking and consciousness. She knew in the back of her mind where you were and she was dreaming that Taylor had picked her up when in reality she walked. How far were you from the house?'

'We weren't that far, only around the corner but she couldn't have known. Is there something wrong with her John?'

'No Christian, she was in a state of shock. All she needs now is rest. How is Rose?'

'She is in a bad way, she has two broken ribs and a ruptured spleen which she has gone into emergency surgery for and now is in bed, it's just a waiting game for all of us'

'Well make sure you update me when you can ok? Give my love to everyone'

'Ok john, thanks again' I put the phone down and make my way back to the bedroom. As I walk in there is a beautiful sight in front of me. Ana's bed is right next to Rose's and she is holding our daughters hand and both girls are smiling at each other.

'She's awake? When did this happen? Is she...' Ana puts her finger to her lips to hush me and carries on looking at our little girl.

'She woke up while you were on the phone, I called the nurses. She can't talk right now but she knows what is going on around her. She will get checked for brain damage but it looks like she will be ok'

I walk over to Rose and squeeze her other hand, tight. I can't believe she is awake.

'Hi baby' I say quietly trying not to shout to loudly 'it's daddy. You are going to be ok now. I love you'

Rose looks at me and tears begin to fall from her eyes, and tries to sob but the pipe in her thought is stopping any noise coming out

'Hey baby, don't cry. You are safe, you don't have to be afraid anymore'

At that moment there is a knock on the door, it doesn't open straight away.

'Come in' I say, again not being too loud.

The door opens and in walk Phoebe and Teddy, they run up to me and give me a big hug and then to Ana.

'Oh Daddy, I have been so scared' Phoebe manages to say in between sobs. I squeeze her in my arms more tightly.

'It's ok Phoebe, we are all here now, safe and sound' I look over to Ana and she gives me a slight smile.

'Dad, is Rose going to be ok?' Teddy asks looking rather worried at his sister.

'We think she is going to be fine son, she can't talk right now and they need to do more tests on her, but as soon as she is up to it we can take her home to Seattle.'

I look over to Rose and she is fast asleep. I walk over to my family and take them all in my arms.

'We are all going to be ok, I promise, I am going to protect you from now on'
