Just a shorter Chapter before I get a chance to post my next big one. Thanks to everybody to has reviewed the story and is enjoying it. I'm trying to keep the Characters as much as possible like their personalities in the books but please keep in mind my story takes place many years after and that they will have changed a little over time. Hope you enjoy reading this next chapter! :)

Ana's POV

Christian has been looking after the kids all afternoon which has been nice. I'm actually not even really mad at him anymore. I can never stay mad at him for long. I know once I yell at him for whatever reason he's pissed me off that I get over it pretty quick. There won't be another repeat of last night happening ever again. I don't care if he gets drunk with Elliot but I don't ever want him to bring complete strangers back to our house. That's so unlike him anyway that I'm not worried. It's so unlike him to even get drunk in the first place.

I spoke with Taylor this morning and he told me Christian insisted that he knew the people he brought over and that he would be fired if he didn't let them in. Taylor has had to deal with Christians shit before and knows what he's like. Taylor is just another person on Christian's apology list. Kate has always been one to hold a grudge and is furious with Elliot still. She left not too long ago with Ava to go shopping when Elliot made an appearance downstairs. I think he's gone back to bed now though.

I apologised over and over to Mia and Ethan this morning for Christian's behaviour. I was mortified and he doesn't know it yet but I offered to look after Aaden so they can go out tonight by themselves. Mia told me to stop apologising for Christian but I couldn't help it, I felt so bad. They just got home themselves from a day out around Cannes with Grace and Carrick. I gave Christian a look motioning him to leave the kids in the pool and go and apologise to them and his parents. He hasn't come back yet and that was over twenty minutes ago. He has a lot of making up to do.

In spite of my husband being childish last night everybody seems to be enjoying Cannes. I'm more than happy to hang around here all day and soak up the sun. The kids have been able to more than entertain themselves as well. Kate was right yesterday. Both Teddy and Phoebe are starting to really tan in this European sun. Tomorrow I'm pretty sure we're going out on the yacht that's anchored to our dock here. It's not as impressive as The Grace on the outside but it's still an amazing vessel.

Christian comes back outside and sits next to me on the lounger by the pool. "You'd be happy to know that I've profusely apologised to everybody". I look up at him "Yes that does make me happier". "Look I know I apologised before but I really am sorry. How about you and the kids and I head down to eat by the beach for an early dinner? I have to be back by seven because I have a nephew to babysit tonight". He looks at me and I can't help but giggle at him. I don't know why but the thought of him being responsible to look after someone else's child just makes me laugh. He's only had to watch Ava and that's when Phoebe was there but I don't think he's ever been left with someone else's baby before. He was wonderful with our babies but I know he'll be so far out of his element that I'm glad I'll be there as well.

I usher Phoebe and Ted out of the pool and Christian heads up with Ted to his room and I with Phoebe to get her changed. "Mommy where are we going?" I'm looking through her clothes for a casual summer dress. "I think we're going down to the beach to have dinner early so daddy can be back to look after baby Aaden". She starts to jump up and down "Ooh can I help daddy?" I smile at her. "Of course, I'm sure daddy would love your help". I find a dress all too quickly because she has so much stuff and hand it to her. Surprisingly she agrees with my choice. After I put her in the shower and wash her long hair she gets dressed so I can blow dry her hair. I was really meant to get her hair cut last week, it's getting way too long. I'll have to find someone to do it here.

After Phoebes dressed I head back into my room and change too. Christian is already dressed in jeans and a white shirt. Why does he always look so effortlessly hot? We both head down stairs to round up our kids and head out to the SUV. We have a beautiful seafood dinner that my kids actually eat for once. It's nice when they don't just want hamburgers and pasta when we eat out. The sun setting over the water sets a wonderful ambiance for our meal. We head back to the house shortly before seven.

When we walk through the door Mia and Ethan are both dressed for a night out. Mia tells us that Elliot, Kate and Ava have gone out for dinner with Grace and Carrick. I'm kind of glad that there all out because it really does mean Christian will have to look after Aaden by himself. Mia gives Christian a list of things to remember including feeding times and his complete bedtime schedule. She hands Christian the baby and she walks out the door with Ethan.

Christian sits down on the lounge off the dining room with Aaden. "Christ Ana they didn't say when they were going to be home. How long do I have to do this?" I smirk at him. "You'll survive Christian. You managed to not break Teddy and Phoebe when they were babies". I look over at Aaden he's so cute. Christian looks out of his element. Phoebe and Teddy come running in to where we are. "Can I hold Aaden daddy?" Phoebe asks. "Sure Pheebs. Sit down on the lounge over there with that pillow and you can hold him". Christian gently places Aaden in Phoebe's arms and sits by her to make sure that she doesn't drop him. Teddy sits next to me and I give him a cuddle.

"How are you Teddy bear?" I ask. "Good mommy. Can I go back in the pool?" he asks. It's starting to get dark but the pool area is well lit and it's a beautiful night. I did just bath Phoebe though and if Ted goes in she'll want to as well. "How about you go back in tomorrow Ted and we do something else?" Ted turns around and his eyebrows crease. "There's nothing else to do" he whines. "There's lots to do. Use your imagination" I say. So he decides to watch TV. Not exactly what I meant by using your imagination.

All three of them Christian, Ted and Phoebe with Aaden on her lap watch French cartoons that aren't in the US. It's so odd looking at my kids with their eyes glued to the TV watching cartoons that are entirely spoken in French. I know they understand it all because they speak French fluently or so Christian tells me they do. I don't speak a word so I wouldn't know. I'm just having a surreal moment here I think.

I walk off to the Kitchen to make myself an herbal tea and that's when I hear Aaden begin to cry. Christian comes into the kitchen with Aaden leaving our kids to watch TV. The poor little thing is crying his eyes out and Christian is doing his best to soothe him. "Ana I think he needs his diaper changed and he holds him out to me". I step back from him with a smirk on my face. "Oh no you don't Grey. You're babysitting I'm just here for decoration. I know you know how to change a diaper, off you go". I grin at the disgusted look he has on his face. The horror that Christian Grey would have to change a diaper. He changed our kid's diapers all the time. It's no different. Plus this is his punishment.

He returns with a happier Aaden whose stopped crying and puts him in his bouncy chair by the kitchen so that he can heat up a bottle for him. I sit on one of the breakfast bar chairs overlooking the counter sipping my tea and flipping through a magazine. He grabs a bottle out of the fridge. "Uh this is gross. This is Mia's breast milk" he says as he puts it into the microwave to be heated up with a funny expression on his face. "It's funny that a baby would drink its mothers breast milk Christian" I say all too sarcastically.

He knows I'm teasing him. "You and that smart mouth Ana". He takes the bottle out of the microwave and sits down next to me to feed Aaden. After he's finished he burps him and Aaden falls asleep in his arms. I smile at Christian he still has the touch with Babies. "You're good with him" I say.

Christian smiles down at Aaden. "This little thing is too easy to look after". I smile at Christian and watch him looking down at his nephew. He's gently rocking him back and forward and gives him a kiss on his forehead. "I'm going to go put him in his crib" he says.

It's after 9pm I should get Ted and Phoebe in bed too. I walk back into the lounge to find them both sound asleep. I pick Phoebe up and carry her to her room. Ted's too heavy for me to carry now so I know Christian will get him. I put Phoebe in her bed and tuck her in. I walk out of the room to find Christian carrying Teddy to bed too and go in to kiss him goodnight as well.

Christian comes out of Teddy's room still holding Aaden's baby monitor in case he wakes up. He pulls me onto his lap on the lounge and I lean back into his arms. He kissed my earlobe. "Do you want more kids Ana?" I look at him with a stunned expression I'm sure. I wasn't expecting this conversation. "I already have three kids Christian" I joke. He rolls his eyes at me "HA HA very funny. But seriously do you ever think about having a third child".

"I've thought about it I guess that we'd have a third child. I just feel happy dedicating all of my time that's already so limited to the kids we've got" I say. I can see in his eyes that what I've said about dedicating more of our time to Ted and Phoebe registers with him. "I know but what if I told you that I wouldn't mind trying for a third baby". Now I sit around and look at him. He wants to fall pregnant now? This year? Most people my age are just thinking about having their first babies I know we still have years to have a baby. "Christian what has brought this on so randomly?" I ask. "I don't know being with Aaden I guess. I just thought it'd be nice to have one more". I'm not completely against the idea because Phoebe is nearly six and I love children but I don't think this is the right timing to bring another baby into the world, into our family.

"We are so busy Christian. I mean all of the time. Most couple our ages are just having their first babies we don't have to have one right this second we can try again for a third in a few years". "Ana we are always going to be busy. It's how we've always been. We don't want our kids to have such huge age gaps I mean Phoebe is already nearly Six Ana". I acknowledge what he's saying. "Well maybe we should just stick to two kids then? Like you said we're always so busy and my previous pregnancies haven't been what you'd call easy". Christian sighs. "Will you just think about it Ana" he asks.

"I'll agree to consider it Christian but that doesn't mean Yes" I say. He kisses me on the lips and grins. "I can live with a Maybe Yes". I grin at him too. He always tries to win but not with this conversation. Not yet anyway. "It's an ill consider it Christian not a Maybe Yes". He kisses me again and even though he pissed me off last night I relent to his touch and our conversation ends as a new agenda begins.

He kisses me passionately and moves down my body. He lifts me and carries me up to our room before depositing me back to our room. As he enters me I know this is the best way that Christian Grey can apologise for everything last night.
