Chapter 7

Christian's POV

'Grey' I whisper answering the phone, I look to my left and Ana is lying on my arm.

'Mr Grey, we have some news. We have caught Leila and another suspect. She won't get away this time' Taylor tells me at the other end. It has been a month since the shooting and a week since Ana and Rose were allowed home and we have come back home to Seattle, and Leila has been on the run since. I slip my arm from under Ana, being careful not to wake her and I walk into the hallway.

'Who is the other suspect?' I say a bit louder but still quiet enough that I don't wake Ana. Taylor is silent for a few seconds before clearing his throat to talk.

'His name is Hyde, Sir' The mention of that name stops me in my tracks and I just stare at the phone for a few seconds before remembering that Taylor is on the other end.

'Jack?' I ask, my voice hoarse. I can't believe he is still around, that fucker almost killed my fucking wife, he should be rotting in jail for what he did.

'No Sir, his name is Peter. He is Jack's cousin and is in a relationship with Leila. They were found hitch hiking at the side of the road about 10 miles from here, they must have flown over while we were coming over so they wouldn't get caught. They are keeping quiet about the whole thing, the Seattle police are on the case now. How are Mrs Grey and Rose?'

'They are fine today, thank you. Where are you? Pick me up I need to see the fucker who done this to my daughter' I can hear talking and phones ringing in the background, it's very loud and Taylor has to raise his voice so I can hear him.

'No use Sir, they are currently in police custody and are getting interviewed at this very moment, as soon as I hear something I will let you know'

'Ok, the minute you hear anything. That bitch has fucked with me for the last time' Iput the phone down and make my way back into the bedroom. Ana is sitting up and checking her own cell and she looks up when she sees me.

'What's going on? Any news?' She asks as she lifts herself up the bed and winces in pain. I run to her side and go to help her up. 'No Christian, I am fine. Just get me my chair' I go to the corner of the room and get the wheelchair and when I go to help Ana get up she pushes me away.

'I said no! I need to learn to do this on my own. You're not going to be here all the time. Please let me do this' I step back to give her some room and she lifts herself out of the bed and grabs onto the chair and then sits in it. She makes it look easy but I know that she is in pain. Leila has got a lot to answer for.

'I just want to help, I feel useless if I'm not helping. You have Tiffany coming here at two, do you want me here for that?'

'No thank you, you will be off putting. Learning to walk again with you in the room isn't easy; my legs go weak just looking at you' She giggles and I can't help but smile at the sound.

'Any luck with Rose yet?' I ask and Ana shakes her head. Rose hasn't spoke to us since she left the hospital, not a word but she spoke a few words to the doctor just before she left, she will nod and shake her head if we ask her questions but that's it.

Phoebe and Teddy are at the breakfast bar, eating whatever Gail has made for them. I grab hold of the news paper that is on a table and sit next to Phoebe.

'Good morning Theodore, Phoebe' I kiss my daughter on the cheek and open the paper 'What are your plans for today?' It's Saturday so no doubt they will want to do something fun.

'Well Dad, I am going to meet Jenna later and maybe take her to the cinema or something. I want to show off my car at some point, I have been working on it for this long.' I just look at Teddy and he raises his eyebrows because he knows what is going on in my head. Jenna is his new girlfriend and both me and Ana don't like her, even though she passed all the security tests, there is something about her, she is too trampy for Teddy.

'Dad, I want to go shopping with Louise and Bethan' She looks at me with big puppy dog eyes, she knows that works on me.

'I don't think that's such a good idea Phoebe, maybe just ask them to come around and play here?' I have been over protective of Phoebe since Rose went missing, more than I usually am and it is killing her.

'Daddy, I am 13 years old, we don't 'play'. Please Daddy, I will take whoever you want me to take, they can follow me everywhere if you want. Please daddy'

My little girl is growing up and I don't like it one bit but I can't keep her prisoner forever.

'Ok, but you are to take Sawyer with you and he will be instructed to watch you at all times' I gently tell her 'But you have got to promise me you will be back before it gets dark'

She has a huge grin on her face and looks just like Ana does when she smiles.

'Yes Daddy, thank you so much, I promise I won't be any trouble' She runs up to me and puts her hands around my neck and kisses my cheek, 'I'll go and text them now'

I go and check on my wife but as soon as I get to the stairs, she is coming down them on the stair lift with her fold up wheelchair on her knee. I run to help her off the stairs as she reached the bottom but she puts her hand up to stop me.

'Christian, I have told you that I need to do this by myself. I can't rely on you or anyone to be here 24/7, there will be times I will be on my own.' She lifts herself into the wheelchair and looks at me.

'Ok baby, I know. I just want to look after you. It is my job after all. Ok, I should go and check on Rose and see how she is doing, not that she will talk to me. She has an appointment with Flynn at 11' Ana rolls her eyes at me and lets out a sigh.

'Why do you insist on her seeing John, if she won't talk to, she isn't going to talk to the person who speaks to us all the time is she? '

'John has been my therapist Most of life Ana, you know that. You also know that he know all about my past and Leila and my BDSM. I want her to go and see him. Now I am going to check on Rose. Gail is putting out breakfast so go and tell her what you want.' I turn and walk up the stairs. Why is Ana being like this, she knows too well that John is a big part of my life.

I stand quietly outside Rose's room trying to hear of there is any noise coming from in there but there is just silence, I knock and gently push the door open and my little girl is lying on her back staring up at the ceiling.

'Hi baby girl, how are you feeling today?' I whisper as I stroke her cheek with the back of my hand, she just shrugs. 'OK sweetie, there is someone coming here in a little while to see you, he is here to help you ok? He helped me as a little boy.' Rose nods her head but doesn't look away from the ceiling; I kiss her on the heard and go to leave the room.

'Daddy' a little voice squeaks. I turn around and Rose is looking at me.

'Yes baby?' I ask and I sit back on the bed. This is it! She is talking to me.

'What's BDSM?'

WHAT?!
