A/N I really hope these chapters will make up for the last one I posted :)
First can I say the party last night was such a great one. Plus my cousin stayed over and we stayed up all night talking and well partying LOL
I had to wait until she left to get onto my laptop because i couldn't leave her sitting there while I typed up a new chapter.
So here we go on with the new chapters.
Holding On & Letting Go
"So did Christian mind babysitting?" Kate sipped her drink along with Ana as they sat at the bar of the nightclub, the music playing loudly
"You no Christian, he wanted me to take Taylor here" Kate nearly choked on her drink "I convinced him otherwise. He wasn't a bit impressed and do you know what he did? He made an eight o clock appointment with Dr Flynn tomorrow morning. He even took the day off work too"
"Crafty fucker that Christian isn't he?" Kate grinned as Ana got in a huff. "Oh come on Ana he just doesn't want anything to happen you and he really wants to get back together with you" Kate held Ana's hand "Now turn that frown upside down because 'Let's Go' just came on and I need a dance partner" Kate didn't give Ana a chance to respond as she dragged her onto the dance floor. They soon became the main attraction at the nightclub during the song and they gave it their all, the dj shown the lights on them causing the crowds to cheer as the song ended. They went back to the bar and ordered another round of drinks.
"Mrs Jones...Mrs Jones...Gail" Christian yelled as Mrs Jones came to his frantic state
"Mr Grey I am sorry but" she then burst into a fit of giggles at the site before her, Christian was holding a half naked Teddy at arms length and then she looked at his clothing to realise Teddy had peed on his brand new Armani suit. "I am so sorry Mr Grey, I apologise for that" she held back another laugh at his state.
"Gail enough of the formalities just help me" he almost whined as he handed Teddy to Gail and went to get a change of clothes. He came back to find Teddy sitting in a t shirt and his new diaper smiling happily up at Gail "Here you are Mr Gr- Christian. All changed and no mess" she grinned as she handed Teddy back to an embarrassed Christian.
"So buddy you decided to pee all over daddy huh?" Teddy babbled in his baby lingo as if he was having a conversation with his father. Christian laughed at him "Yeah you got daddy good. All over my new suit too buddy" he ruffled the growing hair on his son's head "Let's get you ready for bed and then we can get you a bit of supper and a nice warm bottle of milk" Christian picked Teddy up and lay him on his bed as he reached for his blue all in ones with the small pictures of white clouds and a cartoon helicopter. "There's a good boy" he picked Teddy up again
"Everything sorted Christian?" Mrs Jones couldn't get used to the sound of his first name coming from her mouth
"Yeah I'm just gonna get him something before I put him down for the night" Christian bounced Teddy in his arms gently as he smiled up at his father.
"Well I have some puréed fruit ready for him and I have a bottle heating for when you're ready" Mrs Jones handed the small bowl and a baby spoon to Christian. He placed Teddy in his adjustable seated high chair and sat for a few minutes before he was interrupted "Mr Grey?"
"I need help" he said hopelessly "I watched my mother do it before and Ana but they make it look easy" he flushed
"Here I'll show you" she took his hand in her own and scooped a tiny bit of purée onto the spoon and brought it to Teddy's mouth, he tasted it at first and sucked on it gently because he was only learning how to feed from the spoon "See there he goes. Now Mr Grey" Christian eyed her "Now Christian, why don't you try it now?" Christian repeated what Mrs Jones had shown him and he smiled proudly when Teddy was finished. Mrs Jones had cooled a bottle for him and cleaned up Teddy's face and handed the bottle to Christian as he scooped Teddy into his arms "Thank you Gail"
"It's no problem" Christian smiled genuinely at her as she resumed cleaning the dishes in the kitchen. Christian took Teddy up to his room and lay on the bed with his son lying beside him, a pillow on the side of him incase he rolled over when they were asleep. "Here buddy" Christian fed him his bottle and watched as the baby dozed off beside him. He placed a baby blanket over Teddy and turned off the bedroom light and got back in beside his sleeping son "Night baby bird" he whispered as he closed his eyes remembering the name he was called as a small child.
"She said yeah,yeah,yeah. Oh,oh" Ana and Kate sung their drunken hearts out on the way home from the club, she had one too many shots but she enjoyed herself for once. "Kate shhh" she giggled as she heard her phone ring "Probably the master himself checking in" Kate burst into a fit of laughter at her friends drunken state
"To what to I owe the pleasure of a phone call on my night out your royal highness" she answered her phone not checking the i.d
"Ana?" the voice on the other end of the line made her sober up a bit
"Jose?" Kate silenced for a moment to let Ana speak
"Are you drunk?" she laughed at Jose as he became slightly worried on the other end.
"Define drunk" she giggled "Well I had a good time" Kate rolled her eyes and mouthed 'typical Jose'
"That's great" Jose laughed at the other end "I was just calling to let you know my flight was moved earlier so I should be in tomorrow evening. Is that okay?"
"That's great" she smiled and shouted over at Kate who was stopping a taxi "Kate, Jose is gonna be here tomorrow evening" Kate then shouted "WHOOO"
"Well I guess I better leave you drunken ladies then" he laughed "Just look after your self Ana I don't want to turn on the news tomorrow to find you and Kate's pictures with missing or dead on it"
"Jose we will be fine" she laughed as she got into the taxi beside Kate "I'll see you tomorrow"
"Bye Ana, tell Kate I said bye" he hung up leaving Ana feeling happier
"I can't believe he's visiting tomorrow" Ana smiled at Kate then her eyes went wide "Oh shit I forgot to tell Christian. I need someone to pick him up from the airport my car is going to be serviced tomorrow" Ana groaned as she slapped her hand to her forehead
"Both Elliot and I are going looking for a house together tomorrow. I'd help you out but we had this planned a while" she gave Ana a sympathy smile
"It's fine Kate, I'm glad you two are getting a place together" she smiled "I guess I have to ask Christian to drive me to the airport"
"Does he know about Jose?"
"About him flying in?" Ana looked at Kate who was giving her the 'are you stupid?' look
"No does he know about him being engaged? Maybe if you told him he wouldn't be so jealous" Ana giggled as she remembered the conversation she had late last night with Jose. She couldn't take the secrecy and distance her friend was giving her over the phone so she drilled him until he caved and told her everything
"Jose Rodriguez we have been best friends for years so don't you dare lie to me just tell me what's going on" she was pissed over the phone and Jose was becoming useless at trying to keep her in the dark "Well? Anything to tell me?"
"I'm getting married" Ana nearly dropped her phone, she heard Jose call her name several times before she came back to reality "Ana are you okay?"
"So this is the news?" she asked excitedly
"Yeah can you believe it? I'm engaged and she's amazing, I was hoping to bring her along to visit but I needed to ask you first" he was rambling and was nervous enough as it was.
"Jose stop right there, you don't need my permission. I am so happy for you. You need to bring the girl that caught the attention of my life long best friend. Oh my god I can't believe this" she was smiling and began to cry
"Are you crying?" Jose asked worriedly
"You don't know how happy I am for you Jose"
"Thanks Ana" she wiped her tears "Can I ask you one thing?"
"Sure"
"Was Christian pissed when I used to visit and hang out with you?"
"Yeah" she laughed
"Does he still get like that? I'm sorry if I am getting too personal"
"What are you getting at Jose?" he laughed at her
"Don't tell him I'm engaged. We can surprise him when we see him" Ana got into a full fit of the giggles
"Jose Rodriguez that's downright mean" she still couldn't stop laughing
"So should I not do it?"
"No go right ahead it's hilarious" they both laughed "Look I have to go Teddy is awake and crying. I'll see you in a few days"
"Bye Ana, give Baby Grey a kiss from uncle Jose" she giggled "Will do Jose"
"Oh my god Ana that's so devious but fucking hilarious" Kate grinned
"Hey it was all his idea not mine" she jumped out of the taxi, she waved Kate off before staggering up to her apartment "Finally" she put the key in the lock and turned it. She switched on the lights and grabbed a glass of water. She locked up the house and put her alarm on before falling into bed.
