A/N- I know how dependent children can be. But I know many stubborn 5 year olds including myself at that age. I took showers on my own (of course with mild supervision) and got dressed on my own (of course I needed help with buttons and zippers and even putting shoes on). I didn't like the help and yes it it would take me forever to put a shirt on haha now I wish someone would dress me in the mornings lol.

I have already written three more chapters :) I hope you enjoy this.


Monday morning comes by quick and I'm now dropping off Phoebe at school.

After I drop her off I head straight to work.

I say good morning to Jessica and get started on my day. When lunch time comes around Jessica invites me to join her. Christian must be busy today since he hasn't text me.

Jessica has not only been a great mentor but a good friend. She's really easy to get along with and a very nice lady. I enjoy being around her. I can tell she enjoys her job and she's happy with her life. I ask her about her kids and she tells me about how her sons are being trouble makers and I laugh. She then tells me about her baby girl and shows me a picture of her. So gorgeous.

She asks me how Phoebe is doing and I tell her she's good. Being a sassy little princess. I tell her about how Phoebe said everyone sang happy birthday badly except her and Jessica chokes on her drink laughing.

"I must meet her one day," she says.

I nod and laugh.

After lunch we head back to work. Jessica takes me to her office to show me what to do next. After that she gives me a stack of paper to look over.

I don't notice how much times passes by. All I hear is Jessica say "Ana it's almost three o'clock."

I grab my bag and head to pick up Phoebe from school. I step out my car and look for Phoebe.

Where is this girl!?

I keep looking around and I can't find her. But her class already came out.

"MOMMY!" Phoebe yells "COME HERE!"

She's with Theo and an older lady.

"Hi mommy this is Theo's grandma. Theo wanted me to meet her." She says as I pick her up.

"You have a cute daughter" the lady tells me smiling.

"Ana this is nana Grace" Theo says. "Nana this is Ana. She came on the boat with me and dad and we went to her birthday party"

"Nice to meet you Ana" she says. "I have to get going but it was nice to meet you both." Christian's mom seems really lovely.

"Bye," Phoebe and I say while waving at them. "Come on let's get you to grandpas place."

As I step into the car with Phoebe my phone rings. It's daddy!

"Hey dad! I'm bringing Phoebe over soon."

"About that sweetheart, I have somewhere to be. I can't watch Phoebe.."

"Really?" I sigh "alright, that's fine. I'll talk to you later."

"Bye sweetie"

"Bye daddy" I hang up. "Looks like you're coming to work with me."

"Really?" Phoebe says excitedly and I nod.

When we get to GEH we head straight to my floor. I tell Phoebe to stay next to me and not fuss about anything. Jessica walks out and notices Phoebe.

"Hi there little one, you must be Phoebe"

"Yes that's right I am." Phoebe stands up and shakes her hand.

"I'm sorry. I had to bring her." I say.

"That's fine. No one will know" she smiles. "Well miss Phoebe it's very nice to meet you. I actually told your mommy I had to meet you one day"

"Really?"

"Definitely. I'm Jessica"

"Pretty name." Phoebe says.

"Ana, I need you to take this to Mr. Grey. Just something he asked for. I have to leave actually. Once you're done with what you have no you can leave."

"Alright, Bye Jessica."

"Bye Ana. Bye miss little Phoebe!"

"Bye!"

"Alright Phoebe, I need to take this up. I have to take you with me but you have to behave." I decide to just take whatever I have left home and finish there. I can't work with Phoebe here I can get in trouble. I put everything away in my bag and grab what I have to give Christian. I take Phoebes hand and head up.

Once we get there I head over to Andrea, Christian's P.A. "Hey, I have some paperwork Mr. Grey asked for." I show her and she nods. She picks up her phone and dials his line letting him know I'm here with what he asked. After she hangs up she tells me to go right in and not to mind the men that are in there.

"Phoebe stay right here. I'll be back"

"I'll watch her" Andrea says smiling and I silently thank her. As I walk in I notice two older gentlemen sitting and talking to Christian.

"Hi, here's what you asked for." I hand it over to him.

"Thank you," he smiles. "Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, I have to get going-"

"HI CHRISTIAN!" Phoebe runs in saying.

Oh my god.

Phoebe!

"Hey!" He kneels down to her level "what are you doing here"

"I don't know mommy said I have to come with her"

I look over at Andrea asking what happened and she's trying to hold in her laugh. "She started asking question and then all she said was 'Christian Grey? Oh Theo's daddy!' And she ran in. She's a fast one. I apologize."

"That's fine," Christian says.

"This is a big office it looks like you rule the world!" The gentlemen laugh at her comment.

"I do"

"Come on Phoebe we have to go say bye."

"Bye Christian. Bye guys I don't know" they all chuckle and smile at her. "Bye miss Andrea"

When we get home I notice Kate is there. Her car is parked right outside. When we step in. Kate attacks me.

"I'm having a girl crisis!"

"Hi to you too Kate" I laugh. "What's wrong?"

"Hey Aunt Kate." Phoebe says while walking past her into her room.

"Hey princess.." Kate grabs my arm and leads me to the couch. "Elliot wants me to meet his parents. On Friday."

"And you're freaking out?"

"Yes!" She nods "we are getting serious. He wants me to meet them and I just don't want to fuck anything up. I'm scared."

"Breath! Look you have a few days to relax. You'll be fine! I met his mom today. Seems like a lovely lady. She was at the school picking up Christian's son." I tell her.

"What if I say something wrong?"

"Stop freaking out and breath" I shake her shoulders.

"Okay. Okay fine. I'll relax."

No she won't.

Tuesday comes by and I've been feeling really exhausted today. Well I stood up all night finishing things I was suppose to finish at work.

Luckily the work day is almost over. I'm about to leave and pick up Phoebe from school when Christian stops me.

"Hey!" I say.

"Hey, can you do me a huge favor?"

"What's up?" I ask.

"I can't pick up Theo today I have a meeting in like two minutes. My mom and sister are busy and can't make it either can you, umm, pick him up for me? He can stay in my office I'm out."

"Yeah sure no problem."

"Thanks. I owe you"

When I get to the school I see Phoebe and Theo running around playing.

"Phoebe! Theo!" I say.

"Hey Ana!" He says hugging me

"Hi Theo, come on I'm taking you to your dad. Let's go Phoebe."

"Where's dad?" He asks.

"He's busy in a meeting."

"Oooooooh" he says.

"Can I go to work with you mommy?"

"You're going to grandpa Ray's"

"Aww okay.."

On the ride to my dad's place Phoebe and Theo have been singing songs they learned in class today. They kept getting words wrong and I had to hold back my laugh.

I drop Phoebe off at my dad's and head to back to the office. Theo kept asking me random questions on our ride. I was truly entertained.

"Alright we're here" I say turning off the car. "Come on let's go"

He takes my hand and we walk in together.

"Ana, are you and dad friends?" He asks.

"Hmm.. Yeah I guess we are."

"I think dad likes being around you."

"Really?" I smile "why do you say that?"

"Because every time you're around or he talks about you up he gets happy"

I can feel myself blush. Oh my..

"I like you Ana you're nice."

"I like you too Teddy."

"Teddy?" He asks.

"It's another nickname for Theodore" I tell him.

"Hmm I like it!"

I giggle and get him to the 20th floor. Andrea immediately walks him into the office and I head back down to work. Jessica keeps mentoring me on what I would have to do for the two weeks she's gone and it all seems easy.

She makes it easy.

At the end of the day I walk out the building and head to my car. Behind me I hear someone calling my name.

"Ana!"

"Hey!" It's Teddy.

Teddy.

I like the nickname I gave him. It's cute. Fits him.

"I told dad the nickname you gave me and he likes it!" He says and I look up at Christian.

"It's the first thing he told me when I walked into my office. He said Teddy is nicer."

"It is" I wink at Teddy.

"Hey, so what are you doing on Friday?" Christian asks.

"Oh umm nothing why?"

"Would you and Phoebe like to join me for dinner with my family? Teddy had mentioned you met my mom. Elliot is taking Kate. I didn't know they were actually an item."

"They've been getting serious lately. She's freaking out about Friday actually." I say.

"Really?" He laughs "she'll be fine. So what do you say? Join us?"

"Sure, I'd like that."

"Great, see you tomorrow."

"Bye!"

I head to pick up Phoebe then head home.

Friday should be interesting.
