CPOV
It's days like this that I long to be back in Montesano, back with Ana and our children again. It has been one problem after another this morning and I doubt this afternoon would be much better.
I had left Ana yesterday evening after we had finished dinner and from the way we held each other, neither of us wanted to be parted. I would've rather stayed there but work had to be done and even though I was only away for one day, a shit storm of problems had arisen.
Paperwork that I had signed last Friday and should've been processed straight away, was found on the desk of an assistant that had now been fired. Along with her boss who was too bone idle to do his job and handed it off to her. I wouldn't have been too hard on her as it wasn't really her fault but finding her filing her nails while the phone went unanswered beside her, sealed her fate too. Accounts for another company I was due to purchase have thrown up red flags that make the company a lot less appealing than first thought. All of this should've been found earlier and I'm barely thankful that it has been found now before I signed, losing a lot of money and inheriting a lot of trouble in the process.
People are walking on eggshells around Ros, as these people were under her and she's taking it personally. She doesn't do cock-ups and I doubt there will be any more, any time soon. There had better not be anyway, as I have Ana's appointments to attend and I don't plan on missing any of them.
Hearing my phone ring, I picked it up, hoping it was not more crap I had to deal with.
"Grey."
"Is this a bad time" I heard Ana's sweet voice say, as I cursed myself for not looking to see who had called.
"No, sorry baby, crazy day."
"Is there anything I can do?" she asked.
"Not work wise. Hearing your voice though is making my day a hell of a lot better."
"I'm glad. The babies are awake and practising football by the number of kicks they have given me this morning."
"They're just letting you know that they're ok," I told her.
"They certainly are this morning. Have you thought of any more names to add to the list," she asked, making me laugh.
"No more terrible ones" I teased.
Before I left for home, we did speak about names and continued when I called her after arriving back in Seattle. Some names I put in just to tease her, finding a list on the internet of the cruellest names to call a child. The main name I wanted to call our children though was Grey, but that conversation hadn't come up so far.
"That's good, I don't want to call our child anything from that list or Gandalf like my dad suggested."
"Gandalf," I said, nearly spitting my coffee out.
"Yes, I think dad's been watching too many movies because Albus was a name he suggested too when he brought some groceries over this morning. I'm hoping he was joking but with my dad, who knows."
"I think your dad's suggestions can join Elliot's at the bottom of the pile" I laughed.
"Elliot's a good name for a boy," she said, making me smile.
"It is. If we were ever going to name our child after any member of my family, it would be Elliot."
"We can put it at the top of your list next to Charlie…. I spoke to my mum today, she's coming for my birthday next month and then staying until after the babies are born."
"Is her husband coming?" I asked, remembering what Ana said about the bedrooms, knowing there was only a single now.
"Not yet, he will probably come after the babies are born. If anyone is squeamish with hospitals or anything medical, it's Bob. He should be used to them though, as he's the clumsiest person I know."
"I will make sure he's sat down then if he holds one of the babies. I don't want him dropping them" I told her.
"He won't. If he's going to injure anyone, it will be himself. He had his leg in plaster for a while, hitting himself with a golf club. Don't ask me how he did it, just know that that's what Bob's like."
"An accident waiting to happen" I laughed, hearing her giggle too.
Speaking to Ana did calm me a lot so when I went into my meeting that afternoon, I was ready to focus and work and not wanting to rip someone's head off.
…..
"I wanted to ask you about the names," I told Ana, that evening when I was at home, sipping my wine after finishing my lonely dinner with my laptop in front of me so I could see my girlfriend.
"What about them, have you finally found one you like," she asked.
"No, I'm still stuck on those names, although I do like Rose or Rosie for a girl, your middle name. I wanted to speak to you about the surname."
"I've thought about that too," she said, getting comfortable on her own couch. "You want them to be Grey's."
"Yes, I would be lying if I said I wouldn't like them to have my name."
"I did think about Steele-Grey, but it sounds like a paint colour," she said giggling, which made me smile.
"It does a little, Grey-Steele doesn't sound much better."
"No, I agree. Grey it will have to be then" she told me.
"You're sure," I asked, needing her to be certain, considering I barged myself into her life and turned it upside down.
"Yes, like I said I want Raymond as our son's middle name, so I have my dad in there. I think they should have your name as hyphenating them, especially putting our surnames together is just cruel."
….
"Mr Grey, your brother is on his way up," Andrea said through the intercom.
"Thank you Andrea."
My thoughts all morning had been on my conversation with Ana last night but now my brother had my focus as he came through my office door.
"Elliot," I said, greeting him with a smile when he sat down before me.
"Hey, I was just passing, and I wanted to know if you were up for a night at The Bridge, or are you off to Ana's," he asked.
"The Bridge is fine, I'm not going to Ana's until tomorrow after work."
"Shit, that's going to be one hell of a commute in rush hour" he winced.
"There won't be rush hour up in the air. I'm taking Charlie Tango and landing it behind her house."
"How much room does she have out there."
"A lot more than I originally thought which is a bonus. I'm glad you've dropped by, I wanted to ask for your input on these."
I opened my briefcase, pulling out the plans Ana had given me before I left, so I could ask Elliot about them.
I passed them over to him, as he moved to my table, opening them all out.
"This is Ana's house," he said, putting one page of the plans aside before moving onto the next one.
"It is, she had them drawn up a while back but didn't want to go any further with not knowing when the babies would arrive."
"This will make the house twice the size and will need a skilled team of workers to do it. Depending on how it has been constructed, it could mean taking the whole back wall down. If it was made of bricks, it would be easy just to add on. Because it's stone and logs, it makes it trickier."
"Can you do it though, or do you know someone who could?" I asked.
"I can do it. I have men on my payroll who have worked with buildings like this. I would need to get them out to survey the land, see what would need to be ordered or what we already have in stock. If this is something Ana wants doing after the birth, I would suggest them moving out for a while as it's being done. Too much dust and bad smells to be around my niece and nephew."
"That's why Ana has shelved it for the moment until after they arrive. Once everything is settled and Ana is ready, you can go ahead and send me the bill."
"You want me to send you the bill and not Ana, that's going to cause a war" he laughed. "She may not be as rich as you are but she could certainly pay for the renovation easily and I bet she's just as stubborn as you are."
"Tell me about it," I said, hearing my brother's laughter.
"I have a simple solution, I will pay for the renovation when Ana's ready. Call it a gift from uncle Elliot."
"That's some gift" I protested.
"Yes, it will be my gift to them. A gift cannot be returned, you should know that with the gift you gave us all."
"I wouldn't want to return them. My children are exactly where they are meant to be."
….
Elliot stayed for lunch before he left to check on one of his many building projects around the city. I was looking forward to spending some time with him, have a rest and enjoy a few drinks once I could leave this place behind for the evening.
"Mr Grey, are there any extra days, that will need to be cleared," Andrea asked me.
She had joined Ros and myself in my office after our meeting, as we went over the weeks ahead. Once my babies arrive, I plan on taking some time off. Despite Ana being booked in for a delivery the fourth of October, they could still come before that and I needed everyone to be prepared if I disappeared at a moments notice. Yes, there will be hiccups, problems, Wednesday can attest to that. With a company the size of mine, there is bound to be, but the team here, as has been proven, are more than equipped to deal with it.
"The doctor's appointments are Tuesdays, so apart from next week when I will be absent Monday as well, I will fly Monday night and depending on what I have on Wednesday mornings, fly back then or on Tuesday evening. All Tuesdays are out until the beginning of October, any other day I will advise you as we go along."
She was tapping away on her iPad before looking at me.
"Are you nervous."
Andrea had never asked a personal question before, always keeping profession so she took me by surprise for a second. "My apologies sir, I didn't mean..."
"It's fine Andrea. Am I nervous, terrified if I'm honest. More for before their born than to what comes after. I'm hoping for a weight gain every appointment, from my daughter especially who is smaller than her brother. Why do you ask."
"My brother and his wife are expecting their first child. He's a nervous wreck, while she's cool as a cucumber" she smiled.
"That would describe Ana and me perfectly," I said, smiling, before going back to what we were discussing.
…..
"Mr Grey, Reynolds will stay at The Bridge until you are ready to leave," Taylor told me as we headed down the elevator and through reception.
It had cleared out for the day, most people already headed home and as usual, when I want to leave, another call came through. Thankfully tonight, I was able to deal with it quickly but I still left later than I had planned.
"That's fine Taylor. Enjoy Sophie's parents evening" I said, as we left my building. I started down the front steps towards Reynolds, as Taylor headed towards the parking garage but we both stopped, turning to see who had called my name.
"Christian."
"I have nothing to say to you and you are on Grey property so unless you want to be arrested for trespassing, I suggest you leave," I said, sneering at Kate soon to be Kavanagh again.
"Miss Kavanagh, leave" Taylor shouted, running towards me as he called for back up on his phone. He arrived just as Reynolds did, who had left the car.
How much back up was needed against this woman, I don't know. Normally I would say none but I don't know who this woman is any more, or if any of us really did in the first place.
"I just wanted to talk to you. Can't I even stand on the steps outside your fucking building now, Jesus, you're Christian Grey, not god. You don't own the world."
"Mr Grey, Taylor," Welch called, running from the building, followed by two guards.
"I would appreciate it gentlemen if you would remove this trash from my property and remind her of the NDA she signed when she wormed her way into my family."
"Look, I'll agree to sign the divorce papers if you just speak to me."
"You'll sign them, either way, Miss Kavanagh, so Mr Grey speaking to you is a waste of his energy and mine," Taylor told her as I turned my back on them and walked towards the car with Reynolds, her path blocked by Taylor and Welch now.
"LET GO OF ME" I heard behind me. "It's all her fault. She ruined everything, stole my life, my children. I want them back, she doesn't deserve anything."
I spun around, ready to launch myself at her, woman be damned when Taylor's look, followed by his words stopped me in my tracks.
"I have every word you have said, this whole thing on camera so anything you say towards Miss Steele, any threats you make against her is documented and will be passed to the police. MISS KAVANAUGH. HAVE I MADE MYSELF CLEAR" he said, holding his phone up which must have been recording everything.
"IT'S MRS GREY" she shouted but that was all the argument she had left.
"Not for much longer" I mumbled, getting into the car, as Reynold closed the door behind me.
….
Stopping outside The Bridge, I needed a stiff drink and only hearing Ana's voice on the way here, did I manage to calm down. I shouldn't have called Ana when I was so angry but I needed to hear her voice, needed to know her and our children were all ok. Kate was a threat to them, either physically or verbally as whatever she would send my family's way would be poison. Ana said she was going to call Sky, get her to come over as she was home for a few days for her mothers birthday. Ending the call, I took a few minutes to calm myself down before heading into the bar. I needn't have bothered because seeing my brother and knowing how much pain that woman had caused him, only made me pissed even more.
"What the fuck happened to you," Elliot asked as I joined him at the bar, ordering a bourbon from Ben.
"Kate Kavanagh is what happened to me. She turned up at GEH, waiting for me to leave. I don't think she appreciated Taylor and Welch getting in her face."
"What did she want?" he asked, ordering a whisky for himself too.
"To speak to me. I didn't give her a chance to speak although I did give her a few choice words she wouldn't like.… Shit sorry bro" I said, seeing Elliot wince.
"No, don't be sorry, you've done nothing wrong. I just wish I had seen it all sooner. It would've saved us all a lot of heartache."
"None of us knew what she was like Elliot, she sucked everyone in with her deception. She was sprouting shit about Ana, the same as she said to Sky about Ana stealing her life. If Taylor hadn't stopped me, I… shit I don't know what I would've done, I know it wouldn't have been pretty though….I had a meeting this week about doubling security for Ana, and I told Taylor and Welch to find CPO's for my children as well. I'm glad I did now" I told him, taking a sip of my drink. "I know it's only a matter of time before someone finds out about us and that puts them all in the limelight, our children especially. I'm actually surprised Kate hasn't told anyone so far. She was there when I revealed Ana's name at mums."
"She can't say anything about you, she signed an NDA when we first got together remember."
"I know, I reminded her of that just this evening, but this is Kate we're talking about, devious, lying Kate. It's not me I'm worried about though, yes if she speaks about me, I will bring hell down on her but her anger is focused on a woman she's barely met. I wouldn't put anything past her speaking about Ana at some point. I'm going to talk to Ana about a restraining order, and from Taylor's recording this evening, it's not going to be hard to get one."
"Ana's not done anything wrong. Anything Kate says about her will be shown up as the lies that they are. I read the book that's in the hospital, it documents every step of her journey through cancer and it's even in there about the procedure she underwent to have her eggs removed and frozen. It's only a small part but it's there and any real journalist would read every detail they could find about her, knowing it would come back to bite them in the arse if they printed anything but the truth. None of them wants a lawsuit, especially from you."
Ordering another round of drinks, talk moved from the lying bitch troll and onto better, more enjoyable things like the fact that my brother has spent a lot of time speaking to Sky.
"You're romancing her by telephone" I teased, hearing him bark out a laugh.
"She's my friend, a good friend," he told me wistfully.
"A great friend but you want more."
"Yeah, I do but not with my marriage to Kate hanging around my neck. She refused to sign the papers, so court it is."
"She said she would sign them earlier if I would speak to her."
"Another one of her games, she's full of them recently. Our marriage will end in a courtroom, I have no doubt of that." he sighed, knocking back the rest of his drink as I nodded to Ben to keep them coming.
"You don't sound so disappointed by that," I said, knowing my brothers' moods well.
"I'm not. The more people who realise what she has done, what a conniving bitch she really is, the better. I don't think she realises that we're not going to be in a room with just our lawyers. We're past that. If she wants an audience, she will get one and the type of attention she won't want. I told dad teasingly that I should invite the media, let them know the day and time. Dad actually thought it was a good idea."
"Your whole life will be on display Elliot," I said, concerned that this is going to turn into a circus.
"It already is Christian. Whether in that courtroom or through that statement we worked out with Ana, if we're going with the truth, everyone is going to know that the reason we were at that clinic was because I couldn't give my wife a child. They will know that Kate found the perfect opportunity to try and get her claws into you which was through me and my inability to get her pregnant."
"There has to be another way."
"There isn't. We say nothing and you will never be left alone. The only alternative when Kate opens her mouth is hiding Ana and the children, denying their existence, neither of us wants that. You helped me, Christian, it's my turn to help you, besides I'm not ashamed of the fact I had cancer, I'm just as innocent as Ana is. I dealt with that a long time ago and I hope one day, I have the chance to become a father. There are too many kids out there who had the same start in life we did Christian and whether on my own or with someone else, one day when I'm ready, I'd like to offer one or two a home."
"I look forward to being Uncle Christian then" I smiled, clinking my glass to his.
By the time we left the bar, we both had had too much to drink. I had spoken to Ana again, well I slurred my words, hearing her giggles in reply so I class that as a conversation. She had told me to ask Reynolds to text her when we got home and watching him do that on my phone was the last thing I remember before I went to sleep.
….
"Keep it coming," I told Andrea as I tried to focus on work the next morning.
I needed to be sober for my flight to Ana's this evening, so coffee on tap was essential at the moment just to keep me awake. A message on my phone had my attention, the photo that accompanied it more so.
Do you think they've grown x – Ana
Ana, your stomach is growing beautifully. Thank you for the photo, it has brightened my day to see you, even in a picture x – Christian.
I'm glad, how's your head x – Ana
Overdosing on coffee at the moment as I try and wake up. I will be fine by the time I leave this evening x – Christian
Have you heard any more from her? I can't believe she had the cheek to come to your office x – Ana.
Not wanting Ana stressed, I dialled her number.
"Ana, calm down please."
"I am calm Christian. I didn't call you, in case you were in a meeting."
"What have I told you before. Call anytime, meetings be damned."
"You won't say that if you miss out on a deal you want because I call halfway through."
"Ana, anytime. Besides, there is nothing Ros can't handle."
"Ok, I just worry that's all."
"I know baby, please don't worry. Kate Kavanagh will be a distant memory soon."
"I highly doubt someone who goes to all that trouble to trick Elliot just to get to you will give up so easily."
I know Ana was right, and it didn't worry me any less to know she was surrounded by guards now. I feel like it should be me protecting Ana and our children from the evils of the world, not me paying someone else to do it. I have warred with myself about this before when it came to protecting my mum and sister when GEH started to gain attention. I had to put my faith in others then to protect them, and I have no choice but to do the same now.
"Have the other guards turned up yet?" I asked.
"Yes, Prescott and Wood. Luke introduced me to them this morning. You're quick to have people assigned so fast."
"They would've already been working for my company and vetted by my heads of security otherwise they wouldn't have gotten anywhere near you."
"They seem nice, although Prescott cracking a smile once in a while wouldn't kill her."
"I'm sure you will have her smiling before long."
"I certainly have something to smile about at the moment, besides you and our children that is. I have a meeting in Seattle next Friday."
"Friday" I enquired.
"Yes, I finished my book," she said, and I could hear the excitement in her voice.
"Ana, that's brilliant."
"I'm so happy that I got it finished in time. I need to meet with Hannah, go over everything as it will be the last time I see her until after the babies are born."
"This deserves a celebration," I told her.
"Christian, alcohol is not on the menu at the moment, besides I think you drank enough for both of us last night."
"Tell me about it" I groaned, earning more of her laughter. "I will find something to bring."
"Ok, make sure it goes with a roast dinner. I know they're traditionally on a Sunday but as we're going to Portland this weekend, I thought I would make it today. Sorry, it will be ready by the time you arrive so there won't be much helping to do."
"I look forward to it. I will see you later Ana, I love you."
"I love you too."
….
Leaving the city behind was such a relief, knowing each mile that past was one closer to Ana.
There had been no more sightings of Kate and from the information, the guy I have on her now has reported, she's at her parents licking her wounds no doubt.
My afternoon had been very productive, yes, my meeting went well but I also did a little research. Sex while pregnant. I certainly had Barney clear my internet history when I left for the day and as always, he was very quick with his work and didn't ask any questions.
I had no idea when I would be able to make love to Ana. Whether now or we wait until after the babies are born, either is fine with me as what I have with Ana is forever and I plan on never letting her go. I did bring condoms though, for just in case.
I landed easily in the field, and as Ana said, it was not really flat. There were a few bumps here and there which would need to be flattened out with a permanent fixture but for now, I was down, and my beautiful girlfriend had just emerged from the trees, greeting me now I was home.
"Impressive" Ana said, smiling as I walked towards her, bag in hand as the rotors of the helicopter slowed.
"I will have to take you up some time."
"Maybe after these two are born. You certainly can't miss the noise."
"I just hope it doesn't wake them," I said, wrapping my arms around her, my bag abandoned on the floor. "Miss me."
"A little" she giggled, before I crashed my lips to hers, ending any further conversation.
It's been days since I have been able to kiss Ana and like a thirsty man desperate for a drink, I had my fill, only breaking away to let her breathe. My lips never left Ana's skin though, moving to kiss all over her face, her neck, even having a little nibble on her ear. Hearing the groan from Ana when I did that, brought me to my senses, as I looked at the beautiful woman before me. Her eyes were still closed for a few seconds before opening to look into mine.
"Welcome home" she whispered, bringing a smile to my face with her words.
"It's good to be here," I told her, as we started the short walk back towards the house.
Walking into the house, I was greeted with the familiar smell of roast chicken. My mouth salivated, looking at all the food that was ready to fill my plate.
"I may have made too much, but there is always lunch tomorrow" she laughed.
"Whatever you have made, I will eat" I smiled, pulling the bottle of wine from my bag. "Non-alcoholic, or so the label says."
"I'm sure it will be fine. I just need to finish off the vegetables, the glasses are in the top cupboard."
I opened the wine, pouring us both a glass and giving one to Ana. She took a sip, declaring it ok, before going back to the task she was doing of finishing our dinner.
Dinner was delicious and with not eating much today being busy at work and my research, there was not much left to save for tomorrow.
Talk as always with Ana, was easy. She told me about speaking to her dad about our children being Grey's and thankfully he was ok with that. Ana also told me about her conversation with Sky, about the restraining order that Kate will be served with very soon. Sky apparently wanted to do more than slap her with papers but that would benefit no one but Kate. Instead, she will represent her friend and destroy any opponent in the courtroom. Kate's stunt at GEH had everyone on alert to what she would do next and we needed to be ready to shut her down or if I had my way, lock her up. For what she did to Elliot, she needs to rot.
"Enough about that woman," I said, pulling Ana closer to me on the couch. "We have something to celebrate. To your book" I said, clinking my glass to hers.
"To the finished article, my last, for a little while anyway" she smiled, clinking her glass to mine this time.
I took another sip of my drink, the taste slowly growing on me when the feel of Ana's lips on my skin brought all my focus onto her.
"Close your eyes" she whispered, taking my own glass from me as my eyes fluttered closed.
I felt her hands on either side of my face then, her fingers gently tracing over my eyes, my cheeks and down to my lips. I sighed, enjoying every moment of this, content you could probably call me.
"Stay still" she whispered tracing the path her fingers had just been with her lips before I felt her move away.
My eyes up to this point had remained closed but as she straddled my legs, our children snug between us, they opened of their own accord and I'm glad that they did as the sight before me, was beautiful.
"Hi" she whispered, shyly now that I could see what she was doing, a beautiful blush coming to her cheek.
"Hi," I said, placing a kiss on her lips and running my fingers through her long mahogany hair that had been tied back, up to this point.
"I did a little research," she said shyly, looking away.
"So, did I" I mumbled, bringing my hand up to her chin, turning her face so we were looking into each other eyes once more.
"I want us to make love, but I think the traditional way is out," she said.
"We will have to be inventive then, find our own way."
"I'd like that."
Helping Ana up from the couch, I led her up the stairs and into her bedroom. My bag was already here, as I brought it up after dinner and placing a couple of condoms onto her dresser brought a giggle from my girl.
"What's so funny," I asked, pulling her closer to me. "I'm just following doctor's orders."
"I know, I think it was a nervous giggle."
"Ana there is nothing to be nervous about. If you don't want to do anything or you want us to stop at any time, please say so. I don't want us to do something that you will regret later."
"I won't regret it, Christian. It's just, it's been a long time and I have only done it the once before and that was nothing to write home about. It was so bad, my hymen still needed to be broken when I started the IVF procedure" she laughed.
I should be pissed that some other man had touched Ana but all I could do was laugh with her. This guy, whoever he was, was so inexperienced that he didn't know where to put it, probably coming before he could get it in at the sight of my girl or his dick was so small that he couldn't even break through her barrier. Either way, it didn't matter because I would show Ana what it really felt like to make love.
Cradling her face in my hands, I brought my lips to hers. While they moved together, I unzipped the maternity dress she wore, helping it on the way towards the floor. She was soon wearing only bra and panties before me, her breasts threatening to spill out. They had certainly grown having seen photos of Ana before she started the IVF and whether they stayed like this or not, it wouldn't matter to me. I had Ana, all of her.
"Can I take these off?" I asked, my finger gently moving down the strap of her bra, before continuing down to rest on her hip and the side of her panties.
"Yes...please."
I removed her bra, restraining myself for a moment so as not to reach for her breast. Kneeling before her, her panties were removed next.
"You're so beautiful Ana, truly beautiful."
Guiding her towards the bed, I asked Ana to lay down in whatever position was comfortable for her. She lay on her back, pulling my pillow as well as her own over, making sure her head was raised. I kept another pillow close, in case I needed it to raise her bottom up but as she was comfortable at the moment, I didn't put it in place.
Quickly removing my own clothes, and putting a condom on, I joined Ana. I had researched many different positions, but I had to take my cues from Ana to which she would be comfortable with.
"You said you researched too. Is there a way you wanted to try," I asked her.
"There were three," she said blushing again, before turning her face away from me.
"Ana, talk to me."
"Ok, there was one way where you would be standing or kneeling on the floor while I was at the end of the bed, another was spooning and the third, I would need to be on top. I know spooning would probably be the easiest, but I want to be able to see you for our first time."
"Ok, why don't we start with the first and go from there. If that becomes too much, you can take charge."
"Boss the CEO around a little, I like the sound of that."
"I'm sure you do. You can boss me around anytime. I can think of a few people who would pay to watch it too, outside of the bedroom, that is."
Speaking to Ana, made her more at ease so when she moved down the bed, opening herself up for me, she was calm. Me, on the other hand, had to calm myself down. Despite how much I wanted to just make love to Ana, I had to make sure she was ready first. She was wet for me, all the teasing that had gone on throughout the evening adding to that. The little extra that my fingers inside her created, helped too.
"Are you ready?" I asked, deciding to stand instead of kneeling between her legs.
"Yes, make love to me Christian."
Gently easing myself inside her, brought moans from us both. She was tight and I had to think of everything else but the woman under me, otherwise, I would come, far too quickly than either of us would want. When I was fully inside her, I stopped, looking at my girl. I was standing, my hands on either side of her and despite it not being the most comfortable position, I didn't care, I was making love to Ana.
"Are you alright?" I asked as she opened her eyes to me.
"Yes," she moaned. "Move, please."
I started to gently thrust inside her, watching for any sign of discomfort. It was hard because I just wanted to close my eyes and absorb the pleasure I was feeling at the moment. I needed to make sure she was ok at all times though.
Watching Ana fall apart beneath me, nearly had me coming undone. Had I not stopped my movements to watch it happen, I probably would have.
"Lie down" she mumbled, once she could articulate speech again.
I slowly pulled out of Ana, laying down myself as she wanted to be on top this time. As she sunk down on me, her hands reached for mine, entwining our fingers together. Ana rocked gently over me, there were no sudden movements, this was Ana at her pace and it was beautiful.
Her gentle movements, our whispered words of love had me reaching my peak and bringing on another orgasm for Ana.
Carefully, I helped Ana lay down before removing the condom and then joined her back on the bed. With me being over her earlier and our children between us, it had not been possible to kiss her, for fear of squashing them so I took advantage of how close Ana was to me now.
"I love you" I mumbled in-between kisses.
"I love you too…. I enjoyed that."
"So, did I, are you alright."
"My body feels like jelly and you had me seeing stars when I came" she giggled.
"I think we woke the babies up," I told her, feeling them both moving.
"I thought the rocking would put them to sleep, not wake them up," she said, placing her hands over mine.
We lay there for a few moments, feeling our children move. Getting out of bed, I went to get a warm cloth to clean Ana up. I may not have come inside her, but I still wanted to make sure she was clean, and the warm cloth would hopefully help if she was sore in any way.
Climbing back into bed once I had finished, I pulled Ana as close to my side as I could. She was tired, exhausted even after our evening activities. I had the next four days here with Ana as I wouldn't be going back to Seattle until after Ana's scan on Tuesday. I was looking forward to seeing our children again, seeing how much they had grown but like any expectant parent, I was anxious too. Like Ana said at her last appointment, I too wouldn't settle until we had them here and in our arms.
Thank you for reading, José's show is next chapter.
Until next time, take care
Caroline.
