Two in one week? Even I'm impressed. But this chapter is brought to you all by procrastination, so now I must go do all the homework i have been putting off.
Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 11
We pull up to school with 10 minutes to spare, before getting out of the car Ana pulls on an over-sized jacket that looks like she stole from my closet.
"what are you doing?" I ask her. It's not particularly warm out right now but I know as the day goes on it will heat up quite a bit.
"I need this to cover my stomach. I don't want anyone to know I'm pregnant." She says as she zips the jacket all the way up. I look a her confused before leaving the car and walking around to open the door for Ana.
"Why not? They will find out eventually, you can't hide it forever." I tell her as I take her hand and help her out of the car. Although I do have to admit the jacket covers her belly pretty well.
"I know but for now I don't want the judgement of everyone. I just want to remain a regular 16- year- old girl for a little while longer."
I sigh and run my fingers through my hair, I understand why she would feel this way but I don't want her to think people would actually judge her or make fun of her.
As soon as we walk through the gates Kate is all over Ana, she practically pulls her away from me so they can have 'girl talk' as Kate says. I don't really like her, I have spent about 5 total minutes with her and she seems like a real bitch. I continue to walk next to them as Kate blabs on and on about a disaster date she went on over the weekend.
"Ana, why do you always wear that jacket? Aren't you hot? It's August." Ana suddenly looks at me with an alarmed look on her face.
"I uh.. um,, I just like wearing this jacket. Its cozy and smells like Christian." She smiles in my direction. I knew she stole that jacket from me!
"Yeah, but still its August and you are always wear it. Just take it off, let your skin see the sun" Kate laughs.
"Katherine, just drop it. She wants to wear the jacket, let her wear the jacket."
"No Christian." Kate begins. "I will not drop it. It just doesn't make sense for Ana to wear a jacket in the middle of summer. Look around, no one else is even wearing long sleeves. It just doesn't make sense to me."
"Kate, I want to wear the fucking jacket. Leave me alone." Ana huffs before walking the direction of her first class. I shoot Kate an infuriated glare before following behind Ana.
I eventually catch up with Ana before she makes it to her class. I calm her down as much as I can't before I have to leave for my own class.
"Are you sure you are going to be okay?" I ask Ana, rubbing my hands up and down her arms.
"Yeah, I am fine. I just wanted her to stop talking about this fucking jacket. She has brought it up every day since I started wearing it. Maybe I should just stop wearing it, I mean theres only so much more time I will be able to hide this. Why not just give it up now?" She then looks up at me with a determined look in her eyes before handing me her bag and unzipping the jacket. She removes it before tossing it at me.
"There, nothing to hide anymore" She says while smoothing her form fitting white shirt over her bump. I smile at her as I hand her bag back to her.
"Okay, now that's done, you better get to class before you're late." Ana tells me before standing on her toes to press a light kiss to my lips, she then turns around and walks confidently into her class. What the fuck? I think to myself as I stand there dumbfounded holding Ana's discarded jacket. I finally snap out of my confusion when I hear the final bell ring.
When I make it to class, I walk in and take a seat in the back where I sat on the first day. As I am taking out my notebook and assignments from the last two weeks I hear a voice that immediately pisses me off.
"Grey! Get your ass kicked lately?" Brett laughs at his poor attempt at a joke. Is that really all he could come up with?
"Fuck off dude. Just leave me alone." I growl at him.
"Christian Grey!" Mrs. Scott, the teacher scolds. "I know you have been out the last few weeks but you would do well to remember not to use that kind of language here." I don't respond I just sigh and go back to looking at the papers in front of me. The rest of the morning goes smoothly and before I know it the bell rings signaling lunch time.
I make my way to the table Ana and I sat at all last year, I make it there before her so I sit down and take out the lunch I had the housekeeper make for Ana and I, chicken salad sandwiches, with extra chicken for Ana. I am just finishing dishing it all out when I see Ana making her way towards me with a huge smile on her face. She has he hand placed gently on her bump as she talks to some girl I assume is in one of her classes.
I am really glad she has finally stopped hiding the pregnancy, even if the reason it happened wasn't so great. When she eventually reaches me she says bye to her friend promising to text her later before turning her attention to me.
"Hey handsome." Ana greets.
"Hi beautiful. How has your day been so far?" I ask as I stand and pull her in my arms. I let her go and pull her chair out for her to sit down. She smiles lovingly up at me, she then looks down at the food in front of her, immediately picks up the sandwich, and takes a huge bite. "It was good" she says with her mouthful. I laugh as I take a seat myself.
"What did I tell you this morning?" She looks at me and swallows her bite before speaking again.
"I couldn't help it. I didn't realize that I was so hungry until I saw the sandwich in front of me. That you for bringing lunch by the way. I was dreading having to eat the God awful food this school serves. I only would eat it because little one here makes me so fucking hungry all the time." She reaches down and rubs her bump lovingly. I too reach over and place my hand on her belly. We sit there a for a few minutes just gazing affectionately into each-others eye, until I hear a loud shrill voice
"OH MY GOD!" Kate screeches. Ana closes her eyes in frustration before plastering a fake smile on her lips.
"Hi Kate." Ana greets
"You're pregnant?! Holy shit! Why didn't you tell me? We talk all the time surely this would have come up at some point." Kate continues to go on and on about how disappointed she is that Ana didn't tell her about the baby.
"Katherine, we didn't tell anyone. Only our families know." I say interrupting her. She is trying to turn this situation around on herself but it has absolutely nothing to do with her.
"Still, Ana should have told me, we are friends." Kate huff, crossing her arms over her chest. I roll my eyes before taking a bite of my sandwich.
"can we please not talk about me like I am not here? I can speak for myself Christian. And Kate I didn't tell you because I didn't want anyone to know. I didn't even want to tell my own father; I only did because it would have been way too hard to hide this from him. Now either sit down and eat with us without arguing or leave."
Kate huffs again before pulling out a chair and sitting down angrily. What a child.
"Has anyone said anything to you?" I ask Ana before taking a bite of my sandwich. She looks over at me and sighs, leaning back in her chair.
"Not really. I did get some shocked looks from people though. I guess going from not looking pregnant on Friday to this" she points to her bump to emphasize her point, "is probably pretty shocking. But other than that I haven't had anyone say anything mean. That one girl I was talking to when I came over here was telling me about her daughter and how hard it was at first being pregnant in high school, but now she wouldn't change anything for the world. We exchanged numbers, she told me to text her if I ever need anything. It feels nice having someone in my corner like that you know?"
"I'm in your corner Ana. But you didn't let me be there." Kate says. Ana looks at me with an exasperated look in her face before turning back to Kate.
"Kate, just drop it. You know now so let's just move on. I don't want to talk about this anymore."
"You know; you were a lot more fun when Christian wasn't here. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?"
"Are you kidding me!? You have been doing nothing but bitch to me about everything since I saw you t his morning. First it was about the stupid fucking jacket now it's because I didn't tell you that I'm having a baby. Get over yourself, not everything is about you. It's my baby, that has nothing to do with you! That is why I didn't tell you. Plus, we aren't even that close, why would I tell you something personal like that? It's not like you took part in making the baby. You're just a girl I hang out with at school." Ana is now standing and leaning over the table practically screaming at Kate. Kate looks embarrassed and I think I can even see tears forming in her eyes. I look around the cafeteria noticing how quite it has become and see everyone staring at our little table. I immediately stand up l, gather all our lunches and bags before taking Ana's hand and pulling her away from the table. No way do I want to sit there with that bitch anymore. Especially with everyone staring at us. As we leave the cafeteria the room erupts with noise as everyone starts talking again.
The rest of the school day goes smoothly, a lot better than the disaster that was lunch. Now I am standing outside of Ana's class room waiting for her to finally leave. The bell rang 5 minutes ago and I have been waiting ever since. What is taking her so long. Another 5 minutes pass before she finally emerges from the room. As I take in her appear to notice her eyes are red as if she had been crying.
"Ana, what's wrong?" I ask
She sniffles before rubbing her eyes to clear any remaining tears. "Nothing, just finished taking with my teacher."
"What did she say?" I ask as I pull her into my arms squeezing her as tight to me as I can.
"She just said that I need to think about my priorities. I am taking on a lot this semester and at first she thought I was just trying to get into an Ivy League, but now she can see that there is an obvious reason I decided to do all this. Apparently since I'm having a baby at 16 I should just give up. Who cares that I'm just trying to give my child the best life I can, why is it so bad that I'm trying to get ahead to I can start college sooner and actually try and succeed in life despite being a teen mom? Why is this such a big deal? People have babies younger than me all the time, I will be 17 in a few weeks, I'm well on my way to graduating high school this spring, and I will most likely have enough college credits to skip my freshman year of college all together. But my hard work means nothing since I'm having a baby." Ana buries her face into my shirt and begins crying again. I soothingly rub my fingers over her back trying to calm her down. I can't believe her teacher made her believe that since she's having a baby her future is meaningless. What kind of fucked up person would tell that to their student?
"Ana, baby. Everything you are doing is important. You are working to get ahead not just for our baby. But for yourself too. You could have just continued on the same path as before, you could have just stayed with the same graduation date and not taken extra advanced courses. But you did, you are so smart. I am in awe of all the work that you do. And now since you are on track to graduate early we will get to walk across that stage together. Well not together, together, they wouldn't let us do that. But you know what I mean." I chuckle kissing the top of her head before moving hands to cup her face.
"I love you Anastasia Steele." I say as I wipe the tears from her face, before lightly kissing her lips.
"Now let's go get that pizza you wanted." Ana smiles through her left over tears and takes me hand. Together we walk out of the school, ignoring anyone who stares in our direction.
One week later
Today is Ana's 20 -week doctor's appointment, I am mostly excited because we may end up actually finding out the sex of the baby today. At the last appointment the doctor said the baby wasn't positioned the right way so she couldn't see the sex. But today I am confident that we will find out. I went over to Ana's early this morning since we both got an excused absence from school. My father didn't want me to miss school, stating that I don't need to go to every appointment and that they aren't that important. However, I convinced mom that I did need to go, it didn't take much, she loves how involved I am in my child's life. I have been talking to the baby since I got here and Ana says she can feel it fluttering around when I speak. I feel my heart burst when she told me that, even though I can't feel the little one moving yet, knowing that the baby is already responding to my voice makes me feel so incredible.
"Christian! Stop! That tickles" Ana whines as I brush feather light kisses on her belly. I look at her briefly before continuing my task. I kiss her stomach a few more times before making my way south. She is wearing a dress right now so all I have to do is open her legs and I can already see her soaked panties covering my favorite place in the world.
"Are you already wet for me baby?" I groan before leaning in and running my nose along her covered slit inhaling as I go. Sweet perfection.
"Mmm, Christian. Please." Ana moans, I look up and see her head is tossed back onto her pillow.
"what do you want Anastasia?" I ask as I move her panties to the side. I wait for a reply that doesn't come, only the sounds of her heavy breathing fill the room. I lean in and lightly run my tongue from her entrance to clit, enjoying the taste of her but not quite giving her what she really wants.
"Christian, more. I need you!" Ana pleads, her hands thread through my hair and she pulls hard. I give in to her pleas and wrap my lips over her engorged clit. I start sucking and swirling my tongue around and around until I hear Ana scream out my name as she comes. I continue my ministrations until she has to push my face away from her body.
"No more. Too sensitive." She whimpers. I kiss my way up her body pulling her dress up as I go. I make it to her chest and reach behind her to unclip her bra, when I remove it fully I see her pebbled nipples staring back at me. I can't help but take one into my mouth, biting and sucking until I know I will leave a mark.
"Christian." Ana gasps out. She places her hands on my face and attempts to pull me to her. I oblige and finally make my way to her lips. When our lips seal together I kiss her with as must lust and passion as I can muster. Ana opens her mouth to me and I willingly explore her mouth with my tongue. I break the kiss so I can quickly shed my clothes. I stare deep into Ana's eyes and see nothing but love and passion in them. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. In that moment I promise myself to do everything in my power to make sure she never leaves me. I would marry her tomorrow if I could.
I crawl back up her body kissing and nipping at her skin as I go. When I am once again face to face with her I cup her cheek with my hand and just stare into her eyes. "I love you so much Anastasia. There aren't enough words in the English language to describe how I feel for you. Car, vois-tu, chaque jour je t'aime davantage, aujourd'hui plus qu'hier et bien moins que demain." I whisper the last part to her before sealing my lips over hers once again. I carefully roll on top over her keeping in mind her stomach. Positioning myself at her entrance and slowly ease myself inside of her warm wet center. I start kissing along her jaw down to her neck as I slowly move in and out of her.
"Christian, I love you so much." Ana cries out, her finger nails scratching across my back. I feel her pulsing around me and I know she is close. So I pick up my pace and in no time at all she is screaming my name over and over. Her orgasm triggers my own and I pump stream after stream of seamen deep inside her.
We both clean up and get dressed quickly now in a hurry to leave the house so we won't be late for Ana's appointment. Once we arrive and check in we both take a seat in the waiting room waiting to be called in the back. I sit there looking at some weird women's magazine reading an article about sex after a baby when I feel Ana's hand grip my leg. I lower the magazine and look over at her.
"What?" I ask
"Stop shaking your leg, its making me nervous. Everything is fine Christian." I didn't even realize I was doing that. I guess I am a little nervous for the appointment, the same way I was with the other appointments. I am just scared that the doctor is going to tell us she couldn't find the heartbeat, or that something is wrong with the baby.
"How do you know though?" I whisper, a hint of worry in my voice.
"because I can feel the baby move. I know that you can't feel it yet, and I want nothing more than for you to feel how amazing this is. But I know the baby is okay." Ana smiles and takes my hand, placing it over her bump.
"Our baby is growing stronger and stronger every day, and will continue to do so until they are ready to come out." She raises my hand still entwined with hers and kisses my palm.
"Anastasia." A nurse who just entered the room calls out. We follow behind her into a room where she takes Ana's weight and blood pressure before leading us to another room to wait for the doctor.
"So, we haven't really brought it up before. Do you want a boy or girl?" Ana asks from her spot on the exam table.
"Honestly, I don't really care. I just want the baby to be happy and healthy. Although I would love to have a little girl that looks just like you. But I will be okay with a boy as well." I shrug.
"What about you?"
"I know it will be a girl." Ana says sure of herself.
"What?" I laugh. How does she know?"
"I mean I guess I don't really know. But I just have a feeling it will be a girl." Before I can respond Dr. Greene walks in to start the ultrasound.
This is one of the most thorough ultrasound Ana has got yet. Dr. Greene is looking at so many different parts, all the organs, the length of the limbs, and everything in between. The only thing she has not said was the sex. The best part of this whole thing is being able to sit here and listen to the heartbeat, it is the most magical sound I have ever heard.
"Okay, are you two wanting to know the sex?" Dr. Greene asks suddenly. I sit up straighter, excitement shining in my eyes. I look at Ana who is chewing on her bottom lip.
"no, it's okay. I already know it's a girl." Ana shrugs. Dr. Greene looks at Ana apprehensively, pursing her lips like she wants to say something.
"Can you just confirm, to be sure?" I ask, looking at Ana.
"Is that what you want Anastasia?" Dr. Greene confirms.
Ana sighs, turning to look at me before answering "yes."
"Alright then, it looks like you are having…." She pauses moving the transducer around on Ana's belly.
"A boy!"
French translation (from a website, I don't speak French) "For, you see, each day I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow."
About the Kate situation, I never really liked her. Even in the books she seemed like a real bitch and a horrible friend. I mean what kind of friend would let their basically unconscious, drunk, best friend leave with a total stranger, so they can continue hanging out with said stranger's brother? Sounds like a bad friend to me, lol. So in this story my real feelings for Kate come out.
Anyways, see you next time! Happy Halloween! If you don't celebrate then, happy Wednesday!
