Thank you guys so much for all the amazing reviews. It makes me so happy to know that all of you enjoy this story. It's no secret that I've been so focused on my original book, that I've been neglecting you with the lack of fanfiction chapters. I apologize for that. I'm trying to fit this story, my other fanfic and my book all into my busy schedule, but when I come home from work every day the only thing I want to write is my book. But I'm really, really trying, which is why I am going to give you two chapters today. I apologize for the mistakes
"Is the baby okay? " Ana asked Dr. Greene as the woman finished examining her
"Yes, the baby is just fine for now. My concern isn't necessarily the baby at the moment. It's you Anastasia. You're blood pressure is pretty high, too high for a woman carrying a baby. "She informed her
"What does that mean? "Christian cut in as he sat holding Ana's hand
"It means that you need to find a way to reduce her stress levels, for not only the sake of her but for the baby. I don't want her to have another episode as she did the night you found her on the floor. Stress is normal during a pregnancy, but you're beyond stress. I get that with everything that is going on, it's hard. And I believe that if you can find a way to relax and reduce your stress that you'll have a healthy baby when the time comes to deliver, but if not, anything can happen. "Dr. Green explained,
"Reduce stress? That's your opinion?" Christian asked
"Yes. You're about twelve weeks into this pregnancy, which makes you about three months pregnant. Considering you conceived in September, and it's now December. And you still have a while to go, and I want to deliver a healthy Grey baby. There are ways to reduce stress. Try mediation, when stressed. A massage? Some woman even find yoga to be of use, anything that will help you reduce stress would be best at this point. Next time I see you, I want that blood pressure down. "Dr. Greene demanded
"I'll be sure to make sure it is. I'll do whatever it takes. Thank you, Dr. Greene. "Christian said
"You're all set. Be sure to make another appointment for next month. And by your next visit I may be able to tell you the sex of the baby, if you'd like of course. "Dr. Greene said, right before exiting the room
"What are you thinking about? "Christian asked Ana worriedly as she stared at the door, still wearing her hospital gown
"She said, we might be able to know the sex of the baby. " Ana said, smiling "Our baby. "
"Are you going to want to know? " Christian asked
"I don't know, I mean, I want to, but at the same time it's exciting to not know. I know it's a boy though, I can just feel it. "Ana spoke, as Christian handed her, her clothes
"We'll discuss it. Right now you just need to get dressed, so we can get you home and try this distress Ana plan. "Christian said firmly
"Distress Ana Plan?" Ana questioned
"Yes." Christian answered
"What is that? " She asked, when she realized Christian wasn't going to give anything away
"It's the plan where we go home, I undress you, make love to you very sweetly, and then give you a bath. After that I give you a nice massage right before you slip into a nap. After you wake, I bring you dinner in bed with a health desert. We then watch a movie of your choice and then we go to sleep but not before giving you one last massage." Christian said "And through all this we are not once going to mentioned the words Jack Fucking Hyde. "
"You can't pretend… "Ana started to say but was cut off by a finger placed over her mouth
"No. You're going to listen to what I say, or I'll take you over my knee right here in this office and not give two fucks about who walks in. "Christian commanded
Ana laughed "I was beginning to wonder when Demanding Christian was coming back. "
"Here he is baby. Now what do you say we come home and get to the plan?"
"Yes sir. " Ana saluted him
"Come on, Mrs. Grey. " Christian said placing the gown on the bed and leading her out of the room.
"I love you, so much. " Christian said between planting kisses down his wife's body as they made love
"I love you too." Ana said, gasping for breath, just as Christian pulled out of her and fell beside her
"See baby, it was worth the wait wasn't it? I wanted to make sure all those bruises were gone before making love to you. I couldn't risk hurting you. "
"You wouldn't have hurt me, but yes, it was definitely worth the wait. Christian, Thank you. "Ana said
Feeling confused, Christian shifted on his side, to face Ana. "For what?"
"Falling in love with me, taking care of me no matter what, wanting our baby, accepting me for who I am, buying and fixing up this house and always putting me first. " Ana said, as a joyful tear slid down her face
"I love you, that's all that is. I can't see my life when you're not in it. You're my light. "Christian said as he gently wiped away the tear and kissed her nose
"I love you too." Ana said, just as Christian's phone rang
"Grey." He answered, as his face fell
"What? When?" Christian asked, as his voice became serious "Okay. I'll be down soon. ""Yes." Then he hung up
"What's the matter? " Ana asked
"Nothing. " Christian snapped moving from the bed
"Now that we've got that out of the way, I believe I promised to give you a bath." Christian reminded her as he lifted her from the bed and carried her to the bathroom, wrapped in a sheet, setting her on the counter of the bathroom
"Are you going to bathe with me? " Ana asked
"I'm not. " Christian admitted
"Why?" Ana asked, as the disappointment hit her
"Because I'm going to wash you, and then your hair, then you're going to sit in here and let your muscles relax while I go discuss some things with Taylor. " Christian replied, as he filled the tub with bubble bath soap
"Jack stuff? " Ana asked, breaking her promise not to talk about him
"I thought I told you we weren't going to talk about that Fucker! "Christian scolded her
"Well that's what you're going to do, isn't it? And even worse, you're not going to tell me anything. "Ana said
Running his fingers through his hair, Christian sighed "That's exactly what's going to happen, Ana, because it's the only thing that's going to keep you from getting stressed. You want to get upset at that, then go for It, I will not apologize for keeping a secret from you when I know all it will do will cause you pain and stress. If that makes me selfish, that fine, that's what I'll be. I won't put you in any more danger. "Christian preached
"It's not fair, Christian. Why are you treating me like such a child?" She whined
"I'm not treating you like a child. " Christian replied, his tone full of anger
"Yes you are." She screamed
"Ana, calm down, you're blowing this all out of proportion. " Christian said as he went to touch her but she backed away
"Ana... "He tried to touch her again but she backed away even more
"Get out. " She said, not able to look at him
"Ana please stop. " Christian begged her, he never meant this to become a fight, all he wanted to do was keep her from overworking herself and stressing out and now it seemed that the thing he tried to prevent, was thing he caused
"I said, Get out. Just leave me alone, I can wash myself. I'm not five. I can't stand to look at you right now. You treat me like a child, well guess what? I'm not. And I don't agree with you saying you're not going to tell me anything. So just get out, and don't come back. I'm not hungry. Just leave me alone for the rest of the night. "Ana snapped
"Please stop. " Christian begged
"Fucking get out Christian." Ana yelled turning, so she wasn't facing him
Without another word, Christian left the bathroom as he slammed the door behind him
Sinking to the floor, Ana began to sob. What was wrong with her? She knew it wasn't Christian she was bad at, yet that didn't stop her from treating him so horribly. He didn't deserve that. If anything, Ana did. She was the most horrible wife in the world. How could she be so cold? Jack was tearing her marriage apart and she wasn't sure how to stop it. She was taking all of her anger out on Christian when the only thing he wanted to do was protect her and little blip. Forgetting reality, Ana climbed in the bath, as the tears continued to run down her face.
After going back into the bedroom, Ana felt the emptiness. She'd told Christian not to come back for the rest of the night, when all she wanted was him to make love to her and touch her the way he'd done that afternoon. She didn't deserve him one bit. She knew there was nothing she could do to make him forgive her for the appalling way she'd acted, she just wanted to sleep it away in hopes that jack wouldn't haunt her nightmares.
Christian sat in his study after his meeting with Taylor attempting to work, but thoughts of Ana consumed his mind. She was falling apart, and he couldn't stop it. All he wanted to do was protect her and Blip, and all he'd done was cause a huge fight between the two of them. Taylor had informed her that they had a lead on Jack, but as it turned out Jack was just playing mind games. It wasn't him at all. Christian couldn't wait for the day to get his hands on Hyde so he could wrap his hands around his throat and watch the life suck out of him the way he was doing to his beloved Anastasia. The woman, who wouldn't hurt a fly was being hurt in the most unimaginable way
"I'm sorry." Christian looked up see Ana, in pajama shorts and a tank time. He could see the evidence of old tears on her reddened face, as she stood in the doorway. Christian was at loss for words, so he said nothing.
"Christian do you hate me? " She asked, beginning to cry again
"God, no Ana. How could you ever think that? "He said rushing to her side and leading her to the couch in his study "I love you."
"I was a jerk. I didn't mean what I said, I know you're just trying to protect me. I know that you just don't want anything to happen to Blip or me, and I love you for that. Jack, is getting to me more than I thought. Every time I convince myself that I'm not going to let him to destroy my life, he finds a way to do it. "Ana admitted
"Ana, I'm sorry. I didn't think. I didn't mean that I was going to keep big things from you. I only met that it was a need to know basis. If something horribly bad happened, I wouldn't keep it from you, but you don't need to worry about every small thing that Hyde does. The stress is making your blood pressure raise, and I thought by not telling you every detail would help you not be so stressed or worried all the time. That's all. "Christian said, his voice full of sympathy
"I know. I over reacted. Can you forgive me?" She asked, afraid of the answer
"I can't. " He said
"I understand." Ana felt her heart sink as she stood, but as she went to walk he pulled her back,
"Hey, will you just listen to me? I can't forgive you because there's nothing to forgive you for. You have to do something wrong to get forgiveness, and you've done nothing wrong." Christian informed her
"I'm sorry. " She said rushing into his arms as he held them out
"Shhh. It'll be okay sweetheart. I promise."
Leila and jack sat in yet another coffee shop, as they talked about his diabolical plan.
"Can I ask you a question? " Leila asked
"Anything, you want beautiful. " Jack tried to charm her
"Why did you choose me? " She asked
"I liked the poetry of you. You're strong, beautiful, kind." Jack lied, the truth was he was using Leila. He didn't give two shits about her. Hell, when all this was over she could be dead and he wouldn't think twice about it. He just needed a way to get to Ana without revealing where he was staying, or getting caught.
"Okay" She half smiled, something about all of this just didn't seem right to her.
After leaving the coffee shop, Leila decided to follow Jack to see what he was really up to. He promised he just wanted revenge, nothing bad would happen though, she needed to make sure he was telling the truth. She followed him into an Alley where he met someone. He had a gun, and Jack was paying for it.
"Are you sure you want to do this man? " The unfamiliar voice asked
"That gold digging bitch took everything from me. Payback time."
"What about Grey? " He asked
"Grey will remained unharmed as long as he doesn't interfere. The death of his wife, will hurt just enough for me to be satisfied. "Jack said, amusement in his eyes
Not paying attention, Leia didn't notice when the conversation ended and she was standing face to face with Jack.
"What the fuck are you doing here Leia? " Jack snapped, his eyes, icy cold blue
"I … I... You lied. "She finally said as she began to cry
"If I told you the truth, would you have joined me? " Jack asked
"No."
"I did what I had to do."
Leila wiped her tears and held her head up. "I'm done. "
"You're not done. " Jack snapped grabbing her arm
"You have two choices, you stay and see this plan through, or you can watch your master get shot in the head. I won't think twice about hurting him because of you." Jack threatened
Despite everything, Leila still loved Christian. Despite the fact that he took away her funding for school, she cared about him. She couldn't watch him die. She couldn't do that. And she wouldn't do that to Anastasia. Despite the fact that she got a part of Christian that Leila never did, Ana made him happy, and Leila wouldn't be the one to take that away from her.
"You can't hurt him." She whispered
"You stay, and I promise he'll remain unharmed. But if you so much as to reveal one word of this to anyone, and I'll kill him while you watch. "Jack scolded "Now you're going to do something for me, or I'll go kill him right now. Got it? "Jack yelled
Leila said nothing, Jack frightened her. She just nodded as he yanked her down the street, as he dug into her skin
"You're going to take this, then you're going to make sure the new security is at the house and pretend to be a close friend of hers that will get you in. And then you're going to kill her. I want my revenge on the Grey's and I want it now. Got it? "Jack asked
"I can't…" Leila started to sob "She never did anything to me."
"Stop with the fucking tears. You do what I say, or Christian dies. "Jack said
"Fine. "
Christian watched Ana sleep for hours. He was elated that he was finally back in her good graces again, but he hated seeing her so fragile. She was always so strong. Jack Hyde was going to die, if it was the last thing Christian ever did.
"Christian? " Ana stirred in her sleep
"You awake?" He asked, not sure if she was talking in her sleep or if she was awake
"Christian, I love you. Please don't leave. "She said, when Christian sat on the bed, he took note to his wife still asleep
"Please. I love you, if you leave he'll kill you..." "NO!" Ana screamed
After shaking her violently for five minutes, she finally opened her eyes as she went searching for where she was." Ana you scared me to death. I don't know what these dreams are about, but they need to stop. We're going to see Flynn tomorrow." Christian demanded
"I'm sorry. " She said
"It's not your fault. It'll be okay, I promise. I'll fix this. "He said, as he walked across the room and opened the mini fridge he had put in there for her when she began to get cravings and pulled out a bottle of orange juice "Here, drink this. "
After gulping it down, Ana noticed her tank top wet, with sweat.
"I'll get you another. " Christian said, as he observed her
"Can I just have one of your shirts? " She asked
Smiling, Christian pulled out one of his shirts and sat it on the bed
"Are you okay? " He asked
"I don't know. I keep dreaming you die. What's wrong with me?" She asked after changing into her favorite kind of pajamas.
"It'll be okay. I promise. We'll talk to Flynn to see if there's anything he can do for you that's also safe for the baby." Christian soothed her
"Okay."
When Ana woke the next morning, Christian had already left for work. He left her a note telling her they'd be seeing Flynn that evening. As Ana got out of bed and went downstairs, she remembered Gail came down with the flu so she wouldn't be in that day. She fixed herself some oatmeal with tea and sat at the breakfast bar with a cup of tea and ate in silence.
"Mrs. Grey? " She heard Sawyer call her name as he came into the kitchen
"Oh, hi Sawyer." She greeted him
"Mr. Grey wanted me to check on you, to make sure you were feeling okay, is there anything I can do for you?"
"I'm okay Sawyer, thank you. Would you like some breakfast? "Ana offered
"I already ate ma'am. But thank you for the offer. If there's nothing I can get for you, I should get back." Sawyer informed her
"Sawyer, can I ask you a question?" Ana asked
"Of course. " Sawyer said, taking the seat next to her
"You, Taylor and the rest of the security team, you're going to find him, right? " Ana asked, nervously
"Mrs. Grey, I know you're worried about Hyde and after what you've been through, you have every right to be. But we're professionals, believe in us to do our job and keep you safe." Sawyer said
"What about Christian? Who's protecting him?" Ana asked, horrified
"We are. As I said, we're professionals. We're trained to do this. Mrs. Grey, you and your husband are going to be fine. And we will catch Hyde before that baby is born so the three of you can live a long and happy life without any danger. "Sawyer vowed
"How do you know that though, you can't even track him down?"
"The thing about criminals? They can never stop being criminals. They're bound to make a mistake every so often, and when Jack makes his, we'll be there to catch him, and then, we'll hand him to the police and he'll be gone out of your lives for good."
"I hope so. " Ana began to cry
"Mrs. Grey, are you okay? " Sawyer asked, unsure of how to handle her crying
"Yes. I'm sorry. I'm keeping you from your job. You can get back if you want now. "She said, but the truth was she just didn't want to be alone "
"How about I stay with you for a little longer and keep you company. Mr. Grey would kill me, then bring me back to fire me if I left you in here alone, this upset. "He said as he placed a hand on her shoulder to comfort her
"Thank you sawyer." She smiled
As Ana watched TV, she couldn't get into it. After Sawyer left, she couldn't stop thinking of Christian. All she wanted was for Christian to come home, so she could stop worrying about him. Ever since her dreams about him dying started, she'd been so worried about him. She heard a sound from behind and when she turned around someone was eyeing her intensely.
It was Leila.
"Hello Ana." She smiled
Ana stared in disbelief as Leila stood in front of her. It was like reliving the day at the apartment all over again, except Christian wasn't here to save her. How did she get in with all the extra security? Where was Sawyer?
"Leila, what are you doing in my house and how the hell did you get in here?" Ana asked, her tone full of anger. It was bad enough she had to deal with Elena and Jack, she couldn't take one of Christian's crazy ex submissive's
"It wasn't that hard, really. The new Security that master hired, believed me when I told them I was an old friend. That Sawyer guy was off on a bathroom break. "Leila explained
"That doesn't explain why you're here. " Ana snapped as she walked to the kitchen and poured herself some juice
"I'm here on behalf of Jack Hyde." Leila spoke, and before Ana could take a drink of her juice the glass fell to the floor splattering juice all over the floor as the glass broke into a million little pieces
"You're working with Jack?" Ana asked, her voice shaky
"Yes. He approached me with an offer I couldn't refuse. I knew it was wrong, but master cut me off when I approached you that day at your job. He took away funding from my schooling, and I became nothing. I just wanted him to feel sorry. But now… "Leila began as she felt her heart sink for what she was supposed to do
"You're working with Jack all because Christian decided not to pay for your art. That's not his responsibility. The only reason he did that was because he felt he owed you, he felt like he was the reason that you had a breakdown. He did care about you, maybe he didn't have romantic feelings for you, maybe the way he cared for you was platonic, but he did. And how did you repay him? You did the thing he told you not to do, you came to visit me. I'm not saying Christian was right the way he handled things, but he needs control, he is overprotective. And you doing what you did was the last straw for him. And how do you think he's going to react when he finds out you're working for Jack? The very man who's trying to destroy our family." Ana preached to the woman in front of her
"I have to. There's no other way. I'm in too deep now. "Leila said, as she took out the gun and pointed it directly at Ana.
"There's always a choice, Leila, don't make the wrong one. If you do this, your life will be over. You'll go to prison. "Ana tried to reason
"My life is already over. " Leila said as she moved closer to Ana "Now get down on your knees."
Ana didn't think twice about obeying the words that Leila demanded. She knew if she had any chance of surviving this, if she had any way to make sure Little Blip would be okay, she had to do everything Leila told her too.
"Please don't do this. " Ana begged for her life
"I have to." Leila managed to say, she didn't want to do this anymore then Ana wanted to be the victim, but it was ether Ana or Christian, and she wouldn't let Jack hurt him
"Why?" Ana asked, in a soft whisper
"He said, if I didn't kill you, that he'd kill Master. I can't let him kill master. His life is too valuable. "
"He won't ever forgive you if you do this. Christian cares about you, in a platonic way, but if you do this, he'll hate you. If you kill me and our baby, Christian will never forgive you, in fact he'll spend the rest of his life making sure he gets justice. "Ana informed Leila in a cold voice
"Baby? Leila asked in a hurt tone
"Yes. I'm pregnant. Christian and I are going to be parents. "Ana explained, in hopes that it would save her life
"I'm sorry. I still have to do it." Leila said as she pointed the gun to Ana's head, but just as she went to pull the trigger the door busted open, and three men stood in the doorway.
Ana felt relief hit her when she looked up to see Sawyer, Taylor, and Christian.
"Leila. Put that gun down. "Christian demanded as he took a step closer
"I can't. It's you or her. I chose her. I couldn't let you die." Leila said
"She's working with Jack Christian, nothing you say is going to change her mind. " Ana almost yelled to her husband
"Jack? How could you do that Leila?" Christian asked "Put that gun down right now, and step away from my wife. Now. "Christian said as he stood approximately five inches away from the woman who was holding a gun to his wife's head
"But he'll kill you. " Leila whispered
"I don't care, so let him. My life means nothing without Ana. You let her go right now. "Christian said as he went all dominant.
Slowly, Leila released the gun from Ana's head and backed away. "Give me the gun." Christian demanded and Leila obeyed
"Get her out of here, Taylor. " Christian said as he rushed to Ana.
"Baby, are you okay? God, when Sawyer called, I was so worried I had to get home. Ana, you could have been killed again. "Christian said as everyone vanished from the room
"I'm okay. I just need you. Christian, I thought I was never going to see you again. I just wanted to protect Blip." Ana explained
"You're both okay. Listen, I hate to leave you right now, but I have to go talk to Taylor, and figure out how she got in here. "Christian said as he helped Ana to the couch
"She said that she told the new security she was an old friend, and they didn't question it. " Ana replied
Christian's jaw tightened. "Fuck! Does no one know how to do anything! They're fucking fired. "
"Christian, I'm sorry." Ana apologized
"Hey, you have nothing to be sorry for. Listen, Taylor can wait, let's go upstairs and take a bath."
