Apologies for the delays! Back in work means I'm working two jobs and my time is limited especially seeing as I'm trying to get my diploma done by Christmas. (Joys of being a manager) So please bear with me. I have no intention of abandoning this story so don't worry about that!
Much Love

In the four days his son had been on this planet Christian had rarely left his side. When he finally got the okay to see Ana he reluctantly left Teddy but Ray was there and Taylor stayed outside while his mother escorted him to see his wife seeing as visitors were restricted with both Ana and Teddy. He was tired, emotional and slightly on edge. No word had yet come back on why this guy had attacked his wife but he wouldn't rest until he found out why he did it. He was found in the building but was keeping his mouth zipped. Claiming he saw Ana fall and tried to catch her. Christian didn't believe a word that come out of his mouth.
Sadly the press had gotten wind of Ana's accident and their new arrival and now despite the pleas for them to stay away during this time they seemed persistent on trying to get a story. It was difficult enough they didn't need the added stress and the crowds of paparazzi outside the hospital wasn't helping. Taylor had as much security as he could out there and the police department kindly sent officers over to keep the crowds under control. Sawyer was stationed outside Ana's room and he wasn't to move a muscle unless told otherwise by Christian or Taylor. Although Christian suspected that he wouldn't anyway. Sawyer had been with Ana through so much, he wouldn't allow anyone else to be outside her door, not even Prescott.
Going into to see is wife was heart breaking. It reminded him of the awful time with Hyde. He never thought they would be in this situation again, especially not with his wife in an induced coma. She was attached to all these different machines that he had no idea what they were for and her beautiful face was cut and bruised. Grace had excused herself to give Christian some time with Ana and Christian sat with his wife, her small hand clasped in his as he spoke to her, telling her all about their beautiful little boy, the tears flowing freely down his cheeks. She should be awake. They shouldn't be in this situation. Ana should be awake, their little boy safely still in her womb. But no. This was their reality of it. His beautiful wife was in a coma and their little boy was currently living in an incubator. A few hours after Teddy was born he began to show signs of struggling to breathe so he had to be put on a ventilator to help him along with a number of IV's to help him in some way or another. His mother did explain to him but he couldn't focus on what she was saying. All he could think about was his little boy. It broke his heart seeing him like that. So small. So helpless.
He divided his time best he could between Ana and the baby although today they would be bringing Ana out of her coma today and with that she would hopefully wake in a few hours. He had already discussed with the doctor's that it would be best if he told Ana what had happened since her fall. Christian knew Ana and he knew it would break her heart to learn that their little boy had an early arrival and it would be a while before they could take him home.
"I promise I'll be back as soon as I can." He whispered as he gently stroked his sleeping son's hand. "I'm just going to check on your mommy but don't worry. Grandpa Ray is here and Grandma Grace will be back and forth to check on you as well some of the nice nurses. Not to mention Taylor is outside so nothing bad is going to happen. Not on his watch." He pressed a kiss to his little hand. "I love you Teddy. Be good." He gently closed the side of the incubator before he headed over to Ray and ran his fingers through his hair as Ray put on his apron.

"How's he doing today?" Ray asked looking over to his grandson before looking to Christian. The last four days had been hard on everyone, especially Christian and he could tell. Christian had bags under his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot from the lack of sleep, he looked like he had lost a little bit of weight and he was now supporting a full on beard. He knew Christian to have a little stubble but he was currently in the need of a serious shave.

"Okay I think. He's slept a lot. The ventilator is helping him a great deal he seems a lot more comfortable. Thank you for staying with him. I just don't want him alone whilst my mom is working."

"You don't need to thank me son. You're family. He's family. I know Ana will need you when she wakes up. Not me."

Christian nodded as he looked back to his son once more before he left the room. He looked to Taylor. "Only authorised people in there Taylor."

"Of course sir. I'll keep them safe." He promised to him.

Christian nodded before he made his way up to where Ana was being kept. It was a few floor below Teddy so he didn't have far to go. Going towards Ana's room he frowned as he saw his mother and a number of nurses come out, he instantly felt sick. "Mom…what's going on? Is Ana alright?"

Grace smiled to her son. "She's fine. Ove the night they have slowly reduced the sedation and now she has been completely taken off it. She should be awake within a few hours. Her brain scans have come back clear, the swelling is gone and her cuts on her head and face are healing nicely. She's doing good Christian. Everything is looking positive."

"Do you know how long it will be before she wakes up?"

"It'll be a waiting game sweetheart. She'll wake up when she's ready. How's my grandson?"

Christian nodded a little before smiling a little. "He's good. He's slept a lot since they put him on the ventilator but he's strong. Ray's in with him now while I sit with Ana and Taylor's outside the door."

Grace nodded and smiled. "I'll go check on him when I've finished some of my patients."

"Thanks mom."

"You don't need to thank me sweetheart. I think Elliot and Kate will be here later this afternoon after they have finished work. Call me if you need anything."

Christian nodded before he went into his wife's room giving a nod to Sawyer as he passed him. Looking to her he smiled slightly. She did look a little bit better. Slight colour in her cheeks and her bruises had faded slightly. Moving over to the side of the bed he took his usual seat and gently cupped her hand in his, softly running his fingers over her wedding and engagement rings. "Hey baby mom says everything is looking positive. You're looking so much better, I'm hoping you're going to wake up soon. I can't wait for you to meet Teddy. He's such a little fighter. You're dad is in with him now. Elliot and Kate will be popping by again today. They've been here everyday since you've been in here. They haven't seen Teddy yet, they've seen pictures but I don't want too many people seeing him in case he picks up an infection. You're probably going to tell me I'm being too protective but I just can't risk it with him. Not while you're here like this." He sighed. "They caught the guy who pushed you but he's not saying anything. In fact he's denying it. Said you slipped and he tried to catch you." He rolled his eyes. "Yeah because people walk around wearing masks over their faces right?" He sighed as he kept softly stroking her skin. "I love you so much Ana." He told her as he looked to her. "I'm not going anywhere until you wake up." He promised before he kissed her hand, moving closer he folded his arms down onto the bed as he rested his head down and closed his eyes, still softly holding onto his wife's hand as drifted off to sleep.

Eyes fluttering open, a frown formed on Ana's face. Her head hurt. A lot. In fact everything hurt. Letting her eyes adjust to the lights she moved her head slightly, wincing at the pain before her eyes settled on her sleeping husband. Her heart sunk a little. This seemed too familiar. She was in a hospital bed but she had no idea why. She gathered that from the wires on her arms and the way her husband was sleeping. Not to mention there is no way this was her bed, it was far to uncomfortable to be their bed at home. Seeing Christian had hold of her hand, she attempted to give it a gentle squeeze but she felt so weak. She could vaguely remember hearing voices but nothing was making sense right now.

As Christian felt Ana's hand twitch slightly in his own, his eyes opened as he looked up to his wife. Seeing she was awake he shot up in his seat. "Baby…" He whispered as he gently moved closer to her, gently cupping her face he pressed soft kisses all over her face before pressing his lips to hers.

"Christian what's going on?" Ana croaked out against his lips as she moved her hands to Christian's wrists and held onto them.

Sitting on the bed he looked to her, holding onto her hands tightly. "What do you remember?" He asked curiously to her.

"Not a lot." Ana admitted. "Everything hurts…" She frowned in confusion. "I remember going to my meeting then coming down….then nothing."

Christian sighed a little. He learnt his lesson last time about not telling Ana everything so he had to tell her now before the doctor came in. "Baby…someone pushed you down the stairs…the doctors had to put you into a coma for four days because your brain had started to swell."

Ana's face dropped. "What? Who? Why?" She asked tearing up.

"We don't know. The guy is in custody but he's saying you fell and he was trying to catch you." He looked to her. "He was wearing a mask over his face. There was no way you fell." He swallowed the lump in his throat his own eyes tearing up as he gently wiped a tear that slid down her cheek. "Baby because of your fall…your placenta ruptured and they had to perform an emergency section…"

Ana's eyes widened as she heard Christian before her eyes moved to her stomach which was now considerably much more flatter. "Teddy…" She sobbed looking to her husband her grip on him tightening.

"He's okay." He promised cupping her face and wiped away her tears with his thumbs. "He's small, but he's a fighter baby. He's doing really well."

"I want to see him. I need to see him." She told him trying to get out of bed.

"Ana stop." Christian told her as he gently kept her in place. "Let the doctor have a look at you first and I'll get my mom to come down and she can tell you what's been going on with Teddy, but baby I promise you he is okay. He is on a ventilator to help him breathe because he did struggle a bit because he's so small."

The tears just fell from her eyes. Her baby boy…

"Here…" Christian pulled out his phone from his pocket, quickly texting his mother to come down before he bought up a picture of Teddy and showed Ana.

Taking Christian's phone Ana looked at their baby boy, the tears streaming down her face as she flicked through knowing he would have taken a lot of pictures.

Pressing the call button on the wall for a doctor before he then looked to his wife and wiped her tears away. "Please don't cry baby." It broke his heart seeing her so upset. "He's doing good. So far it's only been me, your dad and my mom that have seen him in person. I don't want to risk him catching any infections so the others have had to deal with pictures until he's stronger."

"How small was he?" Ana whispered as she kept her eyes locked on the picture of their son.

"He was two pounds fourteen ounces…"

Ana tried to blink back the tears that kept forming but they just kept falling.

Sitting next to Ana best he could Christian pulled her to him and wrapped his arms around her, being careful of her knowing she was still sore. Hearing her sob into his chest he blinked back his own tears before looking to the door as his mother and a doctor came in.

Seeing Ana upset, Grace knew that Christian had told her. Moving over to the bed she sat down and gently rubbed her leg. "Ana, darling…" She whispered not wanting to startle her.

Hearing Grace's voice, Ana looked to her mother in law, her bottom lip quivering as she tried to keep it together. "I need to see Teddy." She blubbered.

Grace smiled trying to fight back her own tears. It was never a nice thing to see your family hurting. Ana and Christian had been through so much already. They didn't deserve this. "You can. I promise when the doctor has finished going through your checks and making sure that you're okay we will take you to see your baby."

Ana nodded a little as she clung onto Christian. She didn't want him to go anywhere.

"Mrs Grey I'm Dr Walker can you tell me if anything hurts?"

Ana looked to the doctor before she nodded. "Everything. I feel like one big bruise and my head hurts."

"Okay well on a scale of one to ten how bad is the pain? Ten being the worst."

"My body feels like a possible…seven. My head is a solid twelve."

"Okay well we can give you some pain killers to help with the pain. Can you tell me the last thing you remember?"

"Coming out of my meeting and heading downstairs."

"You don't remember you accident at all?"

Ana shook her head. "No…is that normal?"

"It can be. You have to remember you did take quite a tumble and you sustained a gash on your head and your brain did swell. This could be a temporary thing and it could all come back to you in a few days. Your recent brain scan showed no damage and came back all clear so there is no reason why your memory won't return."

"Can I go see my baby now?" Ana asked getting agitated. She didn't care how she felt right now she just wanted to see her baby.

Dr Walker smiled. "We'll have to remove your catheter and I'm going to get some pain killers for you along with a wheelchair. I don't want you walking around anywhere. The only reason I'm allowing you to leave this room right now is because Dr Trevelyan-Grey is going with you. Mr Grey if you could excuse us for a moment so I can remove your wife's catheter."

Ana's grip on Christian tightened. "No I want him to stay…"

Dr Walker nodded a little before popping some gloves on.

"I'll go get that wheelchair and some painkillers for you." Grace told them heading out of the room to give them some privacy.

Ana looked to Christian, closing her eyes briefly as she rested her forehead to his chin, trying to ignore what the doctor was doing. She hated catheters.

"All done." The doctor smiled and detached Ana's canula ready so she could get into the wheelchair. "Now if you do need to go to the bathroom I would advise that you take someone with you. Also you did have a section so you're probably going to be sore for a couple of days but the painkillers should help."

Ana nodded before she looked up as Grace knocked the door and came back in.

Seeing his mother coming in with the wheelchair, Christian got up from the bed and moved his arm around Ana to help her out of bed and into the chair.

"Here you go Ana take these." Grace instructed softly passing her some painkillers while Dr Walker wrote some notes.

Taking the painkillers from Grace Ana then took the water Christian offered her and took them. Scrunching her nose at the aftertaste she then looked up to Christian. "Let's go see our baby."

Christian smiled down to her as he leant down and pressed a soft kiss to her lips before he then followed his mother out, pushing Ana out as he followed her, Sawyer following dutifully behind them. He was so excited for Ana to meet Teddy. As they headed on up Christian stopped by Taylor and put on his apron before sanitizing his hands before glancing to Taylor and Sawyer. He'd speak to them later. Smiling as his mother helped Ana he then moved behind her and gripped the handles of the wheelchair. "Ready baby?"

Ana nodded. She just wanted to see her baby.

Christian nodded to his mother who opened the door for them. Pushing Ana through he smiled over to Ray who had fallen asleep next to Teddy's incubator a book Christian had been reading Teddy on Ray's chest. Wheeling Ana over to the incubator he put the breaks on while Grace opened up the side of the incubator.

Shuffling forward in her chair Ana peered into the incubator and set eyes on her beautiful baby boy, her eyes instantly filling with tears seeing how small he was and the tube and wires. "Is he in pain?" Ana whispered keeping her eyes on Teddy.

"No darling." Grace confirmed with a smile. "You can touch him."

Ana looked to Grace as she said she could touch him. Looking back to Teddy she shakily reached into the incubator and stroked her son's little hand the tears rolling down her cheeks.

Bending down next to Ana, Christian moved his arm around her and held her close to him as he pressed a kiss to her head. "Our beautiful boy."

"Can I hold him?" Ana asked looking up to Grace.

"Not yet sweetheart. He needs to get a little bit stronger first."

"When can we take him home then?"

Grace sighed. "It won't be for a while yet Ana. We'll have to wait at least twelve weeks…"

Ana looked to Grace completely crushed before she hid her face in her one hand and cried. Twelve weeks felt like a lifetime.

"Annie…" Ray mumbled as he woke up. Seeing his daughter upset he got up from his seat, putting the book on the side before he moved around to his daughter. "Hey none of that." Ray told her as he bent down to her level. "You need to be strong for him Annie. He's going to need his mom and dad. He's in the best place for him right now. He's a little fighter just like his mother."

Ana looked to her dad as he spoke before she moved over to him and hugged him. "I love you dad." She whispered.

"I love you too." He whispered as he held her close to him and gently rubbed her back.

It broke Christian's heart seeing Ana so upset. It wasn't the best situation for them to be in but they were in it now and they had to deal with it best they could. Watching as Ana hugged Ray, Christian looked his mother before he looked to Teddy then back to Ana again. "Baby I'm just going to speak to Taylor and Sawyer. I'll be right back." He told her kissing her head before he quietly left the room. Looking to them both he sighed. "She doesn't remember the fall."

Taylor frowned. "At all?"

Christian shook his head. "The last thing she remembers is heading down from her meeting…the doctor said it's probably a temporary thing and her memory should come back. Is this guy speaking yet?"

"Not yet sir." Sawyer told him with a sigh. "He's adamant he was trying to help Mrs Grey."

"Well we all know that's a load of shit." He grumbled with a roll of his eyes before sighing. "It looks like we're going to be here for at least twelve weeks with Teddy."

"How is Mrs Grey holding up?" Taylor asked glancing inside to Ana before looking to Christian once more.

"She's heartbroken naturally. This wasn't expected and all she wants to do is hold him and she can't. It's going to take time but she'll get there." He looked to Taylor. "I want security on high alert at all time until Ana regains her memory and I want you two to go home and get some rest. Have both Ryan and Reynolds outside here and Prescott outside Ana's room with an additional male security. I don't want anyone on their own."

"Yes Mr Grey." They both answered.

Christian nodded to both of them before heading back into the room. Smiling as he saw Ana leaning into her father with her hand in the incubator stroking Teddy's hand he headed over to her and looked down to their son who was moving around a little. Bending down in front of Ana he looked to her. "We'll get through this baby." He promised. "Like your dad said, Teddy's a fighter. We'll be taking him home before we know it." He had to stay positive. There wasn't any other option. All he knew was that they would be leaving this hospital as a family of three and he didn't care how long it would take. All he wanted was for Teddy to be healthy. He had something he never thought he would have and now it was right in front of him. A beautiful wife and a beautiful son. As difficult time as this may before them as a family he wasn't going to let it dampen them. They were going to be a happy family.

A.N
Next chapter will be a little time jump. I don't want to spend too much time in the hospital so next chapter Ana and Christian will be able to hold their Teddy
