Chp 10 overload
Seattle medical hosp. Wednesday
cpov
After a night of showers, shower sex and bed sex, morning sex and more showers sex. Stopped only by the exhaustion of condoms. Where off for medical check ups. Scans, blood work and poking and prodding. Even yank a bunch of hairs, what that about? My memory still gone, AWOL, missing. I'm frustrated and lonely, where's Anna. They whisked her off for woman checkup.

Dr. Greene has given me a full workup, birth control shot. And humiliated me by allowing Grace to watch. I know she a DR. but she my mother-in-law. Turning beet colors, they discuss my pelvic exam. Even yank a bunch of hairs, what that about?
We relax in Moms Office, while mom and dad conference with the doctors. "Dr. Saul what the blood work show"
"Clean for both, at least a month, urgent care center at Montesano only gave him those super aspirin. There's no biological reason for the memory loss, when he's ready the memory will come back. Dr. Greene". "Thank you, there no evidence of long term sexual activity vaginal or anal, STD, drugs or physical abuse. She stated she lost her virginity two weeks ago to your son. All evidence supports this. The hair drug test base on her hair length will go back 16 to 20 month, and be in two weeks. Christian hair should give a reading around 9 months to year." "Grace their both health. And based on Christian last checkup his stress levels are down to near perfect." "Thank you both" they walk away.
"Cary, we need to support them, she's no gold digger, and I will not loss him over this!" "Aright Grace I'll try, but I hope I'm worrying for nothing." "Fine let's get them and go to lunch, Mia taking Anna cloth shopping and Christian is going into GEH."

Lunch is stressful, I don't know why? Anna pushing food around her plate, not eating. Shit! Can't have this.
"Mom, Dad I want to push the GEH and shopping back till tomorrow!"
"Why, Dear everyone's scheduled for this afternoon."
"We need some alone time, so were gone bum around the city!"
"Christian, you need to stick to the plan." Carrick interject
"Dad, you said I owned GEH, I'm the boss. Well Anna and I are going out alone. And everyone can reschedule."
"Christian, dear you'll take security?"
"Yes, mom it'll be ok. We just need some quiet "
We get in the SUV. Driving off Taylor looks back "where too?"
I look at Anna and say "First stop Drug store!"

Drug store, we just left the hospital. Sawyer pulls into CVS. Before I can get out. Their out and into the store. I chase, they both grab basket Anna moves to snacks and junk food. Shit Christian is moving fast for the back of the store, reaching for the radio I freeze, he's stopping at a shelf grabbing something and moving back up front. Stop and grab some six packs and together they meet at the register. Junk food, Italian soda orange and lemon, and three boxes of condoms, massage sex oils and K&Y. Then back to SUV. Christian opens a pack and put handful in his pocket, great public sex. This is going downhill fast. Anna says "Glasshouse over near the space needle" The blown glass museum, they wait in line for tickets always in contact. Moving through the museum is like watching two perfectly in sync teenagers mewing and awing at the wonders. Never out of physical touch. Stealing kisses and touches. Lost in they're own bubble of space and time.
Exiting they start walking for the Sound. Passing a park sunlit and bedeck with couple lying on the grass catching the afternoon rays'. They stop, He lays his expensive suit coat down and they lay whispering and kissing. Lost in a sea of couples, stealing time, making moments. Sawyer and I look like the FBI is staging a raid on the park.
Forty minutes later, their up a moving, Christian waves me over. "I need some cash". Pointing to a shaved ice stand. Give him a twenty. They come back eating ice cones and two bottles of water" here for you and Sawyer" hands me the water and the change. I really like this Christian.
They stop at a street musician strumming blues, listen and began slow dancing. "Taylor, need some cash" nodding to the old man play softly. Dump a fifty in the til. Twenty minutes later. "Taylor the apartment is around here somewhere?" I point to tall building inland. "We need taxis." "We have the vehicles." "Cool let's go to apartment."
Loading up we go to Escala. I decide to go thru the parking garage. The ride up is tense? Gail is waiting, "Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Grey, I'm Mrs. Jones your housekeeper!" smiling brightly. Christian smiles and hug her kissing her forehead "Thank you, were happy to be here" what the fuck is this Grey, then Anna smiles brightly and hugs her. Christian relaxing; Unconditional welcome and warm. Didn't get that a GREY Manor; Moving into the great room. They stare out onto the city. "Would you like some refreshment, glass of wine?" "No, where's our bedroom?" Gail led them there. They enter and turn "Will be out in an hour" A booty call, oh this love thing is going to age me. But I could get forty minutes with Gail, yes maybe this new Christian is a good thing. Locking the door, we look at each other turning to go back. The door open "Taylor why is there a security camera in my bedroom?" "I'll turn it off immediately Sir" "yes, but I want it gone by tomorrow. And change the security codes and all physically locks by tomorrow" I raise an eyebrow Memory still out, but the underlying need to protect is still strong "the bad press will get I'm back and married. Anna safety is our number one priority. Hire what every number of CPO to make is so"
Forty-five minutes later; showered, shaved and sexed, Gail straights my tie. "What do you think?" "She looks like the others, but she different. Stronger more self aware. Did you see her touching him and him hugging me" "Yes, she controls him, Calming him down. Full of thank you and please" "You still think she after his money?" "No. she a sweet innocent girl, I don't want to see hurt when his memory returns." "The playroom?" "I don't know, he came clean to his parents last night, maybe he's through with that shit" "hopefully Jason, hopefully patter of little one is on the horizon" Women always look for kids, got to call Sophie. Hour and fifteen minute, the door opens and the loving couple emerges, happy and relaxed.
Gail is serving them juice in the kitchen. "Mrs. Jones, we need to get some Twing tea in English breakfast, earl grey and peppermint, Scottish breakfast varieties. Please." Christian says
"Yes, we have it for breakfast and before bed" Anna chirp happily
"I'll get some right away Mrs. Grey" "Please call me Anna."
"Yes, Anna, Any food favorites"? "All make a list, I'm pretty easy food wise, Chris is finicky about his eggs." "No, am not, you just make them hard." Back and forth they go Gail smiles refreshing to see them banter like and old married couple. Taylor says "Children, we need to get on road, if were making dinner at your parents" did I just say that, a he didn't unload on me. They smile and head for the elevator. Casting a smile at Gail I follow. Sawyers waiting down at the cars.
