BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AT THE GREY'S

CPOV

I can't wait to pick up Ana. I have been trying to concentrate all day but my thoughts about my Goddess are consuming me. I have never felt this way about anyone. There is something so special about her. She makes me feel happy. I got her the ultimate present. I am sure she is not expecting anything from me considering how she reacted to the gifts I gave her this morning. But hell those were not birthday gifts, those were a necessity. It's 4:45 and we are pulling up to the hospital. I walk through the doors with confidence knowing I will see my Ana. I sprint down the hall to catch the open elevator and head up to my mother's office. I knock and open the door and there she is. I have to stop and catch my breath. She is just absolutely lovely.

"There is the birthday girl and might I add your looking very beautiful today."

Her blush and smile are so endearing. "Hi Christian"

"How was your day Anastasia?"

"It was very nice so far. Some of the volunteers took me for lunch and Luke bought me a cupcake"

Luke? Who the fuck is Luke and what fucker bought her a cupcake? The door opens and Sawyer is standing there.

"Ana I am leaving for the day, call me tomorrow and I will pick you up."

"Ok Luke have a nice night" Luke, Luke Sawyer bought my girl a cupcake. I text Taylor to find Ana a replacement CPO one who is gay and won't be buying my girl fucking cupcakes. Whoa, my girl. Where did that come from? And once again I am smiling like a loon.

"I am ready to go. Do you think I need to go home and change before we go to your parent's house?"

"Anastasia you look beautiful you don't need to change a thing"

As we are driving to Bellevue I am holding her hand and I just can't stop staring at her.

Driving to The Grey's Christian is holding my hand running his fingers back and forth across my knuckles. We are silent, but it's comforting. I feel like he's staring at me and the thought makes me smile as I bite my lower lip. I feel a tug on my lip

"Anastasia please bite your lip" And once again, blush. "We're here birthday girl. This night is all about you. I am going to make sure you have a great birthday"

"Christian today has already been the second best day of my life. You have already done so much, Thank you"

"You're welcome Anastasia, come, everyone is waiting for you."

As we enter the house Grace is there to greet us.

"Christian, Ana I am so happy to see you. Thank you for having dinner with us on your birthday"

"Thank you Grace for inviting me."

"This is my husband Carrick, honey this is Anastasia Steele."

"Happy Birthday and it's so nice to meet you"

"Likewise Mr. Grey and thank you for inviting me."

"Please call me Carrick. Let's go inside everyone is already here"

As we walk through the house I can hear Kate and Elliot and I think they might already be drunk.

"There's the Birthday girl" Kate engulfs me in a bear hug and starts giving me big wet kisses. Elliot joins in on the other side. I giggle and beg for mercy. Luckily Christian comes and pulls me out of their embrace. He starts wiping my face with a soft cloth and I close my eyes and lean into his touch. I love it when he touches me. It gives me butterflies.

During dinner the Grey's tell me that Mia is in away but will be back for the Coping Together Gala. Kate and Elliot seem to be getting along and Christian is making sure that I have everything I need. Kate announces it's time to open my presents. What? Why would there be presents. The dinner was more than enough. Christian gifted me with so many things this morning.

The Grey's give me a gift card to the mall. Grace says I can buy a dress for the Gala.

"Grace I wasn't planning on attending the event. I was just going to help with the setup"

"Nonsense Ana, you have worked so hard and you have come up with some great ideas and you deserve to be there. Besides, Elliot has asked Katherine to be his guest and I am sure that Christian doesn't have a date."

"Mother I was planning on asking. Anastasia would you do me the honour of attending the Gala as my plus one?"

"I would love to. Kate we need to go shopping this weekend."

As Katherine announces it's time for Ana to open her gifts I send Taylor a text to bring Ana's gift in. My parents gave her a mall gift card and Katherine and Elliot have arranged a Spa day for Ana.

"I want to thank you all for your generosity today has been so special to me."

"Anastasia, you still haven't opened my gift"

"Christian, you brought all that stuff this morning. I can't accept anything else, it's too much."

Taylor walks in the room and Katherine's hand immediately covers her mouth. My mother has tears in her eyes, I think Elliot shouts way to go bro and my father just smiles.

"Ana, please give me your hand. I want you to meet someone. Ana this is Sally and Joey"

Ana extends her hand to shake Sally's hand. And then I take her hand to have her touch Joey.

"Joey is a service dog. He will be able to give you some of your independence back. Sally will help to get you two acquainted."

I think Ana is in shock. Katherine comes over to help calm her down. She is crying and Joey puts his paws on her legs and begins to lick her face. My mother comes over and tells me how proud she is of me.

"Christian thank you so much for everything. All I have been saying to you since we met is thank you. Joey is going to change my life." She pulls me into a hug and all I can hear is my mother gasping.

"Carry, she's hugging him. He's letting her hug him." I start to cry as I have not seen anyone hug Christian with the exception of Mia. I have to admit I am a little jealous but happy that my sweet baby boy is starting to heal. Gretchen enters the room to announce that we have a visitor. Elena Lincoln. God I hate that bitch. There is something about her that never sat right with me. But Carry is her lawyer and he's friends with her husband, or should I say ex husband.

"Elena, you are interrupting a family celebration. What brings you here?"

"Grace darling, so nice to see you too. I have business with Carry"

"Carrick has an office and you should make an appointment." In that moment I hear Elliot calling my name. Christian is on the floor rocking back and forth screaming out no, please no. I get down on the floor and realize he's having a panic attack. I don't think I have ever seen one as bad as this.

"Mommy, please keep Elliot, Mia, Katherine and especially Ana safe. Please mommy don't let her hurt them"

My baby boy is crying and I am panicked I don't know what to do. Carrick has brought my medical bag, I am going to give Christian a sedative and he begs me not to.

"No drugs Mommy, please no drugs. I don't want to end up like Ella"

"Taylor, Elliot please help bring Christian upstairs." I notice that Elena has disappeared.

Christian is sleeping, Ana is sitting beside him holding his hand. Elliot is pacing.

"Mom, this is the second time he has seen Mrs. Lincoln and has had a panic attack. The other day he made me promise not to go into business with her. He said she was evil. Taylor, do you have any idea what this is about."

"I think Mr. Grey needs to be the one to answer your questions."

My heart is pounding. Part of the reason I dislike Elena is because over the years she has been very critical of Christian. Yes he was a problem child, but he was my child. Elena was a believer in corporal punishment. She said Christian needed it.

"Grace, Christian is starting to wake up." I go and sit on other side of Christian. He looks beautiful but so sad.

"Please baby boy, tell mommy what's wrong. I want to help you please let me help you"

And in that moment my world comes crashing down.

"Elena Lincoln raped me."

I love hearing what you all think about the story. I have to say I do have it all mapped out but sometimes getting to where i want this story to be is more difficult than i ever imagined.
