"Are you alright?" Christian asks as they arrive at their new house that should be finished within the next month.
Of course she isn't. Christian had returned a week ago and he still didn't know anything. Ana knew she can't tell him because he would kill Jack, and Ana didn't need her fiancé in jail. She needed him by her side. Even if she was about to...no! She didn't want to think about it. As long as she is with Christian everywhere she can be she feels safe.
It turns out that week Sawyer got in a little crash that had been organized to keep him away for longer. Ever since then Ana has been looking around everywhere she went, searching for Jack's face.
What did he mean with his visit? Why he didn't want anything? He could have asked for all the money he wants and Ana would bet her life Christian would give him everything he has for her and their child because Christian loves her. He loves her more than anything. And maybe that was what really mattered.
They were about to see how the work with their new house was going. And then they were supposed to go to Christian's parents' house for a dinner with the whole Grey clan.
"Christian!" Elliot says as they get out of Christian's car and walk closer to the house.
"Elliot," Christian nods his head as he shakes his brother's hand.
"Ana, you look wonderful as usual," Elliot says, turning to Anastasia who shyly smiles at the compliment.
"Okay, let's go inside, shall we?" Elliot asks, and Christian wraps his arm around Anastasia as they follow Elliot in the house. "As you can see, the facade is finished, now it is time to paint the walls and do all the decorative stuff," Elliot explains as he leads them to the kitchen. "Can you imagine sitting here having breakfast?" He smirks as he shows them in the kitchen. This is bigger than the Escala apartment; after all this is a family house.
Elliot shows them the living room, the bedrooms upstairs (including their bedroom and the one that is going to be their child's bedroom), the library and Christian's office. At the end of the tour they get to the pool room where a sauna is supposed to be built in, too.
"I love the house," Ana says, rubbing her belly gently. Another thing that happened this week –Ana had an appointment with Dr. Greene. Since Christian was away, they decided she would still go and learn know the baby's gender. Christian wanted to know, but Ana promised to tell everyone tonight at dinner.
"Everything looks great. You coming with us? "Christian asks as they are walking to the cars.
"Yeah, only I will take my car; I have to take Kate with me," Elliot says and gives the couple a smile as they leave in the Audi.
"I can't wait to be at your mom's," Ana says as Christian starts driving.
"Really? For the chance to be talked about all evening since you are the pregnant one?" Christian joked.
"Well, that too. But more I like the fact that she promised to make her special sauce for dinner."
"If you only knew how much I love you and how happy I am," Christian said, quickly looking over to Ana, the love of his life.
If only Ana could tell him that maybe it was not going to be so perfect… But right now it was, and she is going to enjoy it.
"Tell us!" Grace says excitedly as everyone has finished their dessert and now is waiting for Ana to spill out the news of what gender they are having.
"Well.." Ana places her hand over her stomach. She turns to Christian and whispers in his ear, "want to announce that you are going to have a son?"
Christian looks at Ana as if she has given him the world. She has. Maybe she doesn't even know it but her and their baby, their son, were his number one priorities.
"What did she say?" Mia asks but Christian just smiles brightly at everyone. He is happier than he has ever been in his life.
"Christian, Ana, it is not funny!" Carrick laughs, and then Christian finally speaks once again.
"It's a boy!"And with that, tears of happiness fill Grace's eyes and everyone starts congratulating them.
The rest of the evening is all about Ana, Christian, and their son. And their wedding that Mia and Kate, who are the main organizers, want to happen as soon as possible.
It is a perfect evening.
Christian looks at Ana. She seems to be so happy, but something is not right. He knows it. He has seen some changes in her behavior since he came home. And he has noticed some looks she shares with Gail.
Something is not right.
