Thanks for the reviews and support everyone, now it's time for Grace to meet her grandbaby, how will she react?

ANA POV

"Well that's everything" I say as we load the last of the things into the moving van. It will be bittersweet leaving this place. This is where I raised my baby boy, all of his firsts where in this place. I know it's always good for new beginnings but it's normal to be terrified right? This is the life and place I have known for over 3 years now and now it's all going to change. New place, new job, new house. We are leaving Jose and Ethan behind that is going to be so hard. We will still see them all the time but they aren't going to be around every day like they used to be. They both still have 12 months left of their studies and who knows where they will end up after that, sometimes I feel like I have been a burden to them. They haven't done anything for 3 years except help me raise Chris. I know that would both never admit it but I feel like I held them back a bit. They never went travelling or lived a 'high party life'. They tell me they were happy like there were, but I know that it will always niggle away at me. The same goes for Kate, I don't know where I would be without her? She along with my dad have been godsends. I am so glad daddy is looking for a place in Seattle. That made my day when he told me.

As we load our smaller things into our cars I get a bit teary eyed. Kate comes over and gives me a hug, she's a bit teary eyed herself.

"It's ok sweetie it's time to move on to even bigger and better things".

"I know Kate, it's so scary though".

"We'll be right Ana we have each other and your little man, everything else will fall into place".

We give each other a hug, look one final time at our old apartment and climb into our cars. Dad and I are going together in my car, Kate is going with Elliot, Jose is driving Kate's car and Ethan is driving his car so that Jose, Ethan and Daddy can go back once we are all settled in. Chris decided that he wanted to travel with his Uncle Jose and Uncle Ethan since he won't get to see them for a little while.

Once we hit the road I know dad wants to start a conversation. It's like it's been busting inside of him for days now.

"Ok daddy spill, what do you need to tell me?"

"Annie, you can read me like a book, just as I can read you too of course".

We both have a laugh at that. I could never hide anything from my dad, he always knew when I was hurt, sad, excited so it was always just best to be upfront and honest with him. And over the years I've gotten pretty good at reading him too.

"Well", my dad begins, "I ended up tracking down Jason Taylor, would you believe Annie that we both served with some of the same blokes in the army? He must have started just as I had served my time. He was easy enough to track down as soon as I had contacted my old boss. Not many people leave the army and to fall into work with one of the richest men in the world".

"No of course not" I snigger.

"So, what did this Mr Taylor have to say about Christian Grey?" I say with a hint of distain. Of course I'll take Elliot's words on board but he still hurt me, arrogant bastard.

"We had quite along chat about Mr Grey, Jason is very much like me, very taciturn and doesn't give much away. He is also very loyal, like you told me before. He told me that he didn't know Mr Grey was a dad until Elliot came barging in yesterday, it was a shock to him to. He has a daughter as well and even though it wasn't right to use it as common ground, that's exactly what I did. He told me he would want to do the same, knock his block off, if someone said those things to his daughter like Christian said to you. Though apparently Elliot got a few hits on his brother, Taylor says he doesn't really know what happened after that but it trigged some sort of response in him, he had blacked out for a while apparently and all her heard was Elliot screaming and Christian saying "he hit me". If I'm to take a stab in the dark here Annie and from information from Jason, I'd say that Christian has had a tough childhood where in fact sometime he was beaten and abused and that those hits from Elliot have bought up some painful memories for him".

Wow I just sit there shocked. Poor Christian, this pretty much collaborates with what Elliot told me too 'he had a tough childhood, so much so that he was abused and abandoned'.

"Elliot told me yesterday that Christian was abused and abandoned as a child so I think you are right dad, something really bad must of happened to him as a boy, it's so sad. No one deserves to be treated like that".

"No they don't Annie, though it happens so much and often then the pattern of abuse just keeps going through generation to generation, often these people don't have the correct methods of knowing how to deal with another human being, so they use the other way that they have been taught which is violence. I can definitely see why Christian doesn't think he would be a good father if he didn't have good role models in the beginning of his life, although Jason did tell me that his adoptive parents are wonderful people and that they would want to know their grandchild even if Christian doesn't. So that's something else that you need to think about too Annie, if you want to get in contact with them".

Man I'm nearly on information over load, can I really take anymore?

"I'm scared dad, once I open up that door I cannot close it again, once they know there is no turning back, I know Mr Taylor said they are good people but what if they want to take him away? What if Christian tells them that he wants Chris and they help him? They will always side with their son before they would side with a stranger."

"You are right there Annie, though you also have to think that with Elliot now being involved with Kate it makes the situation tricky too".

"I know dad, honestly at this moment in time I'm just letting all the chips fall as they may. If Christian decides that he wants to have something to do with Chris, then I will give him a chance to redeem himself, but he will want to genuine otherwise no way. And with his parents, well I'll just see how all that pans out too. At the moment I'm just focused on getting into this house and hopefully finding a part-time job in publishing. Was there anything else that Mr Taylor said to you dad? Now that I think about it Elliot also mentioned that Christian used to fight as a teenager, so you were right about the patterns of abuse continuing, but he said one day he just 'snapped' out of it. He knows something or someone changed him but doesn't know who and well Christian is not the most forthcoming person or so I've been told".

"I wonder what happened to him to make him all of a sudden snap out of his fighting behaviour. It must have been something big. That's a thought for another day though", my dad responds.

"As for what else Jason said, it was pretty much that deep down he is good guy, has lots of self-loathing issues and sees himself as 'fucked up'. He sees his life as a big ball of darkness and can't or doesn't want to find his way through to the light. He sounds like a very troubled man Annie, but I honestly think all he needs is for him to let someone in to love him. I have no doubt that his adoptive parents and family love him, but I think he thinks that he doesn't deserves there love".

I ponder this for a moment, well I would try and move him into the light if he gave me a chance, but he wants nothing to do with me, so if he wants help then he's going to have to come and find it. I can try to help him, but you can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped.

We change the subject and leave it at that. The rest of the trip is filled with stories about Chris and our new adventures.

A few hours later we are pulling up in-front of our new apartment. Kate and Elliot have gone to get the keys, so we all get out and have a stretch. Oh it's good to get out of the car.

Chris runs over to me "is dat our new house mummy?"

"It sure is buddy".

"Oh I'm pick my first room".

"Well you will have to fight with Aunty Kate over that you know what she is like with all of her clothes".

Chris rolls his eyes and says "yeah mummy Aunty Kate has more clothes then a shop", and we both have a giggle.

Kate then comes over "what are you saying about me champ?" as she ruffles his hair.

"You have too many clothes and I want pick my room, but mummy said I have to beat you".

"Oh this that right is it? Well last one in is a rotten egg".

We are all laughing as we race up the stairs and bang on the front door, waiting for Kate to get the keys out.

"Hurry up" says Chris while banging on the door.

"Ok Mr impatient" says Kate.

As soon as Kate opens the door, Chris goes rushing in, and the runs in and out of the three bedrooms.

"This one mine, this one mine" he screams.

I watch Kate walk into another one "oh this one is so mine".

I'm not sure who I would call the biggest kid it would be a very close call. I have a look around the place. It's a bit larger then our last place, you walk into a large open plan lounge, dining and kitchen. Up the hall ways is bedrooms, bathroom and laundry. I notice that Chris has got the largest room, and of course Kate has the largest cupboard. My room is the smallest but still is a nice size for my bed, a desk and a chest of drawers. It has a nice built in which is more than enough room for the clothes I have. No doubt Kate will occupy half of my cupboard too with all of her clothes.

It takes us the rest of the day to get unloaded and the boxes moved into each room where it belongs. We've unpacked most of the important things though still have a few boxes, bags and crates to unpack. Jose and Ethan have been a great help, daddy spent some time looking for a house and the rest of the time helping us.

Dad comes over to me and says "well Annie I guess we should head back, I need to get all of my things packed up to, can you believe that I found a house one my first day of looking?"

"It's meant to be daddy, what else can I say?" I give him a big hug and kiss his cheek.

"I love you Annie and Chris so much, you two are my life".

"I know daddy we love you both too, so much". Chris then comes over and gets in between us and we do our famous 'sandwich hug'.

"Ooo, ooo, too tight mamma and grandpa, let me out" squeals Chris.

We both let him down and dad pulls Chris into another hug, ''grandpa has to head back now, but I'll be moving up on the weekend ok squirt? Uncle Ethan and Uncle Jose and his dad are going to help me move".

"Dat good grandpa, when you get your house I going to pick the big room for my room ok grandpa?"

That kid has everyone wrapped around his little finger I swear.

"Sure squirt whatever you want".

I give Jose and Ethan big hugs as they go to leave to.

"I can't thank you both enough for what you have done for me over the years, I love you both so much, now you can go and live your lives". I start to sniff

They both pull me into line pretty quick. "Now you listen here Ana, we wouldn't change the last 3 and a bit years for anything, we love you too and would do anything and I mean anything for you. I know and I speak for Jose too in saying this but I wish that we were finished university so that we could be here with you to continue this journey. But we will be up here that much you will be wanting to get rid of us".

Jose adds in "and I'd be very disappointed if you got someone else as your photographer Ana, who else is going to take photos of our beautiful little man? So you can't get rid of us that fast".

"I never want to get rid of you I just never wanted to a burden on you".

"Be quiet right now Ana, before we get really angry ok, you have never been a burden and you never will be, now let's leave it at that ok?"

"Ok" I reply.

"Come here and give me another hug". We all grab each other and hold on tight and we are all crying.

"I am going to miss you guys so much not having you around every day".

"We'll miss you too Ana".

They both give Chris big hugs and then Jose, Ethan and my dad are out the door. I know I will see them again next weekend but when you are used to seeing the same people every day or every couple of days, a whole week is such a long time.

Kate come back in after saying goodbye and Elliot strolls in around 10 minutes after with a chilled bottle of wine and says "I'm going to leave you ladies and your little guy, to finish getting settled in ok, I got you a bottle of wine, so just chill out the rest of the night will you?''

"It's been a big day" I reply with a yawn. "Thanks for your help to Elliot".

He comes and gives me a hug "it's not a problem, honestly Ana I was glad to lend a hand, and don't forget about what I said about my brother will you?"

"No I won't I promise".

Elliot gives a way to passionate kiss to Kate, before he leaves us alone for the night.

Kate opens the bottle of wine and I decide to take Chris for a bath. As Chris is climbing out of the bath and I'm grabbing the towel he slips and knocks his arm into the basin as he falls down. The worst feeling in the world was that I was only one step away and I couldn't catch him.

He lets out a large scream ''my arm mamma, my arm''.

I rush over to him ''baby boy, I'm so sorry I couldn't catch you''.

Kate comes rushing in ''what's happened?''

"Chris has fallen and hit his arm I think we need to take him to the hospital". I can see that his arm is already starting to bruise.

''Come on baby we need to get you dried and dressed so we can your arm checked, you need to be a big brave boy for mummy ok?''

"Otay mum" he says between sniffles.

I know I can't wrap my baby up in cotton wool but seeing him in pain devastates me.

I quickly get him dried and dressed, load him into the car and Kate, Chris and I are off to the hospital.

We arrive in emergency and are greeted by a nurse. ''How can I help you?"

"My son has taken a fall and he hit his arm pretty bad, I just want to get it checked''.

''Sure no worries at all, I'll just take you into this room here if you can take a seat and ill page Dr Trevelyan. She won't be too long. If you can just fill out some paperwork that would be great''.

''Ok then, thankyou' I reply.

A short while later a lady dressed in a long white gown walks in, wow she looks a bit like an angel. She carries herself with confidence and has a pleasant aura around her. She grabs my paperwork next to the door

"Hi I'm Dr Trevelyan, I heard a little fella took a tumble and I need to have a look at his arm".

Chris is cuddled into my neck. "Chris, sweetie the doctor is here, she wants to look at your arm ok".

He looks up at me and then looks over to Dr Trevelyan, she lets out a big gasp and puts her hand over her mouth as if she has seen a ghost.

"Are you ok?" I ask her.

She shakes her head quickly and says "yes, yes I'm ok, Chris just reminded me of a little boy that I know, well that I knew a long time ago".

"Ok then" I reply, what else do I say to that?

"So what happened to you little man?" The Dr asks Chris.

"I was coming outa of the bath and I slipped and knocked my arm, it hurt real bad".

"I bet it does sweetie can I have a look?"

Dr Trevelyan has a quick look at his arm and feels around the bone.

"Well Chris you are very lucky, it's not broken, but it will be sore for a while ok? We will need your mummy to put an ice pack on it every hour or so for about 5 minutes to prevent the swelling and bruising'' she looks up at me as she says this.

''That will be fine Dr Trevelyan, is there anything else I can do for him?''

''Call me Grace please'', she responds. Ah ok then.

''He may need some pain medication if the pain gets too much so every 4-6 hours give him some if he needs it, he's a tough kid you will find he will bounce right back and it probably won't bother him. Kids are pretty resilient.

''Ok thanks for all your help Dr,'' she raises her eyebrows at me ''Grace, I really appreciate all of your help''.

''The pleasure has been all mine, now you take your beautiful boy home to rest ok?"

She looks over to Chris again, pulls him into a hug and says "you look after your arm, won't you buddy and look after your mamma too?"

"Yesth I will Dr Grace".

As we walk away she grabs my hand and says "take care Ana".

"Ah yeah thanks" I reply.

"Ok was that weird, or was that just me?" I say to Kate as we walk out of the hospital.

"Nope it wasn't just you Ana, that was weird, when she has seen Chris I thought she was going to faint".

"Now that would have been interesting, we come for the Dr's help and we end up helping her", we both have a giggle as we all walk to the car not thinking anymore about doctors or hospitals.

GRACE POV

Oh my gosh, when I seen that little boy, it took my breath away. It was like looking at my Christian all over again. Obviously my Christian was tinier then this little boy, badly beaten and malnourished. But I will never forget those big grey eyes for as long as I live. And that little boy, Chris has exactly the same eyes and his copper hair colour, when he turned his head and looked at me, I just, I don't even know what to think. Could Christian possibly be a father? Could I possibly be a grandmother? If so who is this Anastasia and Chris Steele and why do I know nothing about them. I know I am going to have to approach this very carefully, if he is not my grandson then I'm going to look like a goose, but if he is and I never perused my gut instinct it will eat me up. I will talk to Carrick about it first and see what he thinks and we'll come up with a plan.

So what did you think of their first meeting?

What should happen now? Do you think it's time for Elliot to 'intervene' again and bring the grandparents and Ana and Chris together? Or would you like a chapter to see how Christian is going?
