CHRISTIAN'S POV:

I am so angry right now I can't see straight! I sat here, holding my wife as she told me what happened to her and I can't help but feel that this is all my fault! The test lied, it was false, but my stupid actions and words caused her to run. Yes, I've had some time to get used to the idea of being a father, hell, I even sat up a nursery for when Ana would come home. I can't believe that she has gone thru so much, and it's all my fault! I let go of her and started running my hands thru my hair, fustrated with the thought that this all could have been avoided if I would have stayed and just took her to the doctors. I don't know how long I have been in my own thoughts, but I felt Ana stand up and try to leave.

"I'm sorry for everything. " I heard her mumble before she turned away from me to leave. No! She's not running away again! I still sit stunned unable to move as I watch Ana start to run out the door. Go get her, you ass!

Throwing down a bill on the table I bolt from my chair and start to follow my wife out the door. I noticed that she had slumped down against the wall and was crying. Taylor was knelt down beside her trying his best to console, but when I approached them I could feel his eyes on me even tho I couldn't take mine of Ana. Before I knew it, I was sitting right beside her, moving her weeping body to my lap. I was glad she didn't resist and melded into my chest as I rocked her. I need to let her know that I am not mad at her, but rather my own self.

"Baby, I just want you to know that I am not mad at you, I never could be. What you went thru was my fault, I was an ass to you, and I don't know if I could ever make it up to you. But I will spend my life trying to..."

"No, Christian," she tried to tell me thru her sobs, "I'm the one who left, it's all my fault that everything happened. I was the stupid one who got myself into trouble, and now I deserve to be alone. I can't expect you to ever accept me..."

I can't believe what I am hearing! She is blaming herself, and she thinks I won't want her anymore. I need to set her straight, because I cannot let her feel guilty for my actions.

"Look at me," I say lifting her chin so I could see those beautiful blues, "None of this is your fault. If I would not have acted as I did in Seattle then you would not have run. It's my fault that you left, and I honestly don't blame you for doing so." She was trying to object but I silenced her, she needs to hear this. "I am so proud of you. When you thought that you were pregnant, you left to protect our child. That is something that a wonderful mother would do, I wish I had been different that night. But all my fears enveloped me and I lashed out on the one person that I shouldn't have. Baby, there is nothing to forgive you for, you did what a mother would do in that situation, but I will wait for the rest of my life for you to forgive me."

Crying even harder, Ana settled herself deeper into me. I can't help but be overjoyed that she is not pushing me away. If it wasn't for me she would have stayed in Seattle, and everything that she has gone thru wouldn't have happened. I know I can't turn back time, but I can make the future look brighter. I stand up wth Ana still in my arms and carry her over to the SUV. I sit her down in the back, and climb in after her. It didn't take long for her to calm down to just tears, but I still held her. Taylor drives us back to her place, and I can't help but wonder what we are going to do now.

I know I want to just drive her to the airport with me, just hop on the plane and take her back home. But I don't want to push her. I know her life has been different in the time she has been gone, but I don't want her to stay here. She's not safe! I need her with me!

As we pulled up behind the little restaurant I could feel Ana tense up against me. I have no clue what is going thru her mind, but I do know she has a decision to make. As much as I would love her to come home, I need to remember that she has made this place her home, and I need to respect what move she makes next. I can tell that she knows what I am thinking, and she gives me a little smile and squeezes my hand.

"Can you wait for me, I need to talk to Mama. You can wait upstairs if you like."

As much as I don't want her to go, I need to have faith that she will be back to me. I want so badly to see where she has been staying, to see if she has had all the thins that she needed while here. So I give her a nod, not daring to look at her face for any doubts of us.

She exits the car and start walking to the front of the building, and I can't take my eyes off of her. I just hope that she makes the right decision. .. well, the decision that will bring her home with me.

A/N:

I know, short chapter, but I got so many messages about Christian's reaction and I wanted to rest those worries. Now the next question is will Ana decide to return home, or does she feel like she can't do it? She does have a lot of things on her mind, and next chapter will be her pov. Thanks again to everyone who is reading and reviewing! I'm not sure when my next update will be, so I want to say a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
