Okay so my plan about being able to write a lot on my break failed. I wasn't able to get an internet connection and therefor haven't been able to update :( Thank you for being patient though and for your lovely reviews! you guys are the best :)

Enjoy!


Kate and I had arrived at the apartment safely. We had stayed up for a bid just talking but eventually decided that it was time for bed. We had stayed in Kate's bed continuing talking and just finding comfort in each others company. We had both drifted off to sleep, when I was woken by a loud hammering. I rubbed my eyes, still kind of groggy from being woken in the middle of the night. I looked at the alarm on the bedside table, it was 2.30 AM! I got up and located the loud knocking to come from the door to the apartment. Who in the hell is up this time a night? I stood on the tip of my toes to reach the peekwhole in door and saw a flustered and panicky looking Sawyer. Wasn't he supposed to have a 'night-off'? I opened the door and was immediately met by Sawyer's piercing eyes.

'Sawyer, what are you doing here?' I was kind of worried that something might have happened to Christian. They wouldn't have been able to contact me due to my dead phone. I hope he's alright!

'Ana!' we hadn't been on a firstname basis because he apparently still held a grudge towards me, much to my dissapproval. But this wasn't a time where I found comfort in him using my first name. This was a sign of panick and worry.
He visibly sighed. He held up his hand signalling for me to be quiet. This seriously pissed me off! He took out his phone and put it to his ear.

'Mr. Grey I have located Mrs. Grey. She appears fine, she's at miss Kavanagh's place and is standing right in front of me now.' Christian said something to Sawyer, I wasn't able to make out what, to me it only sounded like a mumble. Sawyer handed me the phone and I put it to my ear.

'Christian?'

'ANA! Where in the hell have you been?!' he was yelling and I didn't like it. 'I have been worried sick. Why haven't you picked up your phone? Are you alright? Are you hurt? God Ana.'

'Christian I'm perfectly fine. I have been with Kate all evening and have had a perfect time until now being woken in the middle of the night.' I shot Sawyer a look, he knew I was not happy by the way this had turned out.

'I forgot to charge my phone and it ran out of battery. I wanted to borrow Kate's, but she had forgotten her's in her office. There's no need to assume the worst Christian.'

While I'm saying this I'm becoming aware of a humming sound from Christian's end of the line, like the sound from a plane. He didn't...

'Christian where are you?'

'I'm on my way home'

'what?!'

'you didn't think I would just sit here and wait while my pregnant wife might be in trouble. You have no idea about the things I have imagined. God Ana, you can be so irresponsible!' he was angry I could hear it in his tone, a bit relieved as well but mostly angry.
He was lecturing me, speaking to me like a child. I knew it hadn't been ideal for me not to call Christian, but it wasn't like I had done it on purpose. It had been a coincidence and he should learn not to overreact. I wasn't having this!

'It is totally unnecessary for you to cancel your meetings just to fly home because you can't get in contact with me. It is perfectly normal to forget to charge one's phone withouy one's husband going balistic!'

'Ana'

'Don't Ana me' I was seriously pissed now. My hormones might have had a play in this, but I knew that I wasn't being unreasonable. Christian had to learn not to overreact. I know he has control issues and I respect that, but sometimes enough is enough and this time I had to put my foot down.

'can you please just go back to Escala so I know you are safe until I come home?'

'No I will not. The plan was for me to hang out with Kate and I'm sticking to that plan' I have a slight idea of what would be going down if I went to Escala and he came home. He would probably spank me for being "disobidient", and as much as I love and trust Christian I would not let him punish me for this. I hadn't done anything wrong, maybe in Christian's eyes I had, but not to me.

'But I need to know that you are safe and I would like to see you as soon as possible.'

'Can't, I'm hanging out with Kate and she'll probably need to be taken care of this morning' Kate had had a lot to drink, but she could usually hold her liquor, so I wasn't that worried about her. But I just wanted to spend some more time with her and I was planning on making her breakfast, just like a had done pleanty of times in the college days when she had been out partying.

'why?'

'She just had a little to much to drink, that's all'

'You didn't..' I cut him off

'No! Of course not. Do you really think I'm that careless?' was he seriously doubting me on taking care of Blip. Was he questioning my parenting. I know Blip hasn't actually been born yet, but it hurt thinking that he thought so lowly of me.

'No, but... wait, how did you get home if Kate had been drinking?' Shit. I knew this was one of Christian's greater concernes and he had been telling me about driving since he read something about it on the internet.

'I drove Kate's car'

'Ana, I thought I told you that it's not safe to drive while pregnant' He had, but it really wasn't a big deal and obviously nothing had happened.

'Please Christian pleanty of pregnant women drive. It's not a big deal.'

'I want you safe and home NOW!' he was beyond pissed now, but frankly so was I.

'you can't be serious'

'oh, I'm serious'

'No way in hell am I going back to Escala. You are treating me like a child Christian. I'm a grown woman and I can make decisions on my own. I don't need to be babysat and I will not get back to Escala just to be lectured by you. My decision is final, I'm staying and will get myself to work tomorrow, don't sweat it.'

With that I hang up and almost throw the phone at a gawking Sawyer. Surely it is not often you see Christian being yelled at. I smack the door close and lock it.
I know Christian hates to be hung up on, but he wasn't seing sense right now and I know he wouldn't have been persuaded to let me stay. This was me making a stand. We hadn't been fighting this bad since... well since the news of Blip. No that had definitely been worse and more hurtful. This was more like the time with the vows. This was me trying to make Christian see things from my perspective. Uuuh, he can be so frustrating sometimes. I know I'm hot-headed right now so I go to the kitchen to make some tea. Tea always make things better.

After the tea I make my way to Kate's bedroom. She's still out cold. I lay down and try to sleep, but soon realise that it's a lost cause. I just lay there thinking.

A part of me was of course glad that Christian was home sooner than expected but it was quickly overruled by my angryer side. He had called me irresponsible. But surely it was him who was irresponsible. It's not responsible to quit important meetings just to search for your wife because you have a hunch, is it? Most men wouldn't make it that big of a deal, but again Christian is not most men. And wasn't his overprotective side something that I loved him for. Yes it was and it still were, but this was too much. He could have settled with letting Sawyer search for me... And he had questioned my ability to take care of Blip, that's probably what hurt the most. Just thinking about make my eyes water. God these hormones are frustrating. They make me so much more sensitive. But I can't stop them, they keep rolling down the sides of my face.
