A/N : Before I start this chapter I just want to thank everyone for being so kind and accepting of my story. I have never written anything other than a few college papers, but have always wanted to. It was scary and took me a long time to hit the submit button.
I had never heard of fan fiction until I heard about FSOG and had never been to the fan fiction site until a couple of weeks ago, looking for more of Christian and Ana. Not being familiar with guidelines, I looked at other stories and used them as an example of how far the envelope could be pushed.
At first it was hard to write the explicit sex into the story, but I wanted to remain true to Ms. James characters. I love them so. And it got easier quickly. After reading the notice posted on 6\4 I realize I may have pushed the envelope too far, and so I have revised my story to, hopefully, fall within the site guidelines.
As hard as it was to put the sex in; it was more difficult to take it out. The sexual relationship is the common ground for Ana and Christian. It is their level playing field. I have reposted a kinder gentler version of chapters 1-10, keeping the originals for myself. Nothing has changedexcept the intensity of the sexual encounters, so the story should not change for anyone. I continue with my saga below. And thank you. E.L. James for breathing life into these characters. I just needed more of them.
Chapter11
"Ana."
"Good morning, mom. Good morning, Bob."
"Morning, Ana." Bob mumbles from behind his morning paper.
I'm still half asleep but I grab a mug and a tea bag out of the cupboard. "Is this the only kind of tea you have, mom?"
"Well, yes. Did you want something else?"
"Do you have any Earl Grey Breakfast?"
"No, dear. We can pick up some at the store later, if you want."
I guess I'll make do with this for now. I pour the boiling water into the mug and drag the tea bag through the water. I take a sip. YUCK.
"Oh, Sweetheart. There was an overnight FedEx for you this morning. And a delivery." Mom smiles over at me looking over her readers.
"For me?"
"Yes. Bob, would you grab that package off of the dining room table and give it to, Ana?"
Bob complies and sets the package down in front of me.
I look at it warily.
"Who is it from, Dear?"
I don't even have to look at the return address to know it is from Christian. "I do believe it is from my husband."
"Just like those flowers in there?"
"What?" I turn to see a large wicker basket filled with 3 dozen pink and yellow roses." Good grief he is over the top sometimes.
I make quick work of opening the FedEx package. There is a card enclosed.
For your enjoyment and protection.
I love you. All three of you.
Christian aka Daddy
P.S.
Did I say I love you?
I unpack the contents and find one box of Earl Gray Breakfast Tea and a tube of Water Babies sunscreen. I think I'm going to cry.

Mom looks over at me, "What are you doing, dear?"
"I'm emailing Christian. Just thanking him for the package."

Oh my. Never a dull moment.
I hear a piercing scream coming from the direction of the den. Not a hurt scream a mad scream. Sounds like Grace.
"Mom!"
"Coming Teddy."
"Mom!" Teddy is sounding a little more urgent. "Grace is throwing a fit in here."
"She certainly is a handful, isn't she?" Bob smirks.
"I'm on my way." I yell back to Teddy. "You have no idea, Bob."
The kids are asleep after a full day of sand and surf. It is so nice to have a warm bath and get all the sand out of my nether regions. As I slide between the clean sheets…."Your Love is King", breaks the silence.
"Christian. Hi."
"Hi. How'd the day go?" he asks.
"The kids are half baked, but they are in bed and asleep. How was your day?"
"Usual mergers and acquisitions."
"Mmmmmmm. sounds intriguing."
"I may have to go to Taiwan later in the week or early next week. I'll need the jet. What day are you planning to come back?"
"Well, when will you be back from Taiwan?"
"Why?"
"Well, if you are going to be in Taiwan, we might just as well stay here for a while longer."
"I guess."
"Christian, are you okay?"
"Yeah. Just preoccupied".
"With what?"
"Just work, wife. I'm on top of it. Wish I were on top of you."
"That would be nice, Mr. Grey." Why do I feel closer to him when I'm away from him? If we were in the same room, he would be irritating the living hell out of me with that answer.
"Well, I think we have a date, don't we Mrs. Grey?"
"Yes I believe we do, Mr. Grey."
"What are you doing Mrs. Grey?"
"I'm in bed, Mr. Grey."
"Got you where I want you, then."
"Where are you, Mr. Grey?"
"I'm in a warm tub taking a bath."
"Are you washing everything? You know what a dirty boy you are."
" Yes. I have everything in hand…so to speak. Where are your hands, baby?"
"Oh, Christian, I want you."
"Baby. I can't wait for you to get home."
"Me too." Why am I doing this? The idea was for me to get away from him for a while. Damn him and his sexpertise. But then I made the date.
"Are you more relaxed, now, Mr. Grey?"
"Yes, Mrs. Grey. Thank you."
"It was all my pleasure, husband."
"I like to give you pleasure, wife."
"I wish you were here to hold me, Christian."
"Not as much as I do, Ana. I miss you so much. I don't know how much longer I can take being separated from you."
"I know Christian. I'm sorry. "
"I went to see John today." Christian mutters.
"You did? What did he have to say?"
"Not a lot. We just talked about me and my mood changes."
"They do change on a dime, Christian."
"I know. I'm going to work on that."
"Good. I like to hear that."
"What else did he have to say?"
"We talked about me holding in a lot of anger and ways I can let off steam that are, as he put it 'in a more positive direction'."
"I see. What did you think about that Christian?"
"I'm going to do whatever I have to do to make things better for you Ana. If that means working on myself then that's what I'll do. I want you back and I'll do what it takes to make that happen."
"You know, Christian, you need to work on yourself for you not for me. Once you are happier then we will both be better. I think we need to work on ourselves so that we can be better together. Does that make sense?"
"Now you sound like John."
I giggle. "I'm sleepy now. May I go to sleep, sir?"
"That giggle is just what I needed to hear. Yes you may. Just make sure you dream of me."
"Always. Good night, Christian."
"Good night, baby. I love you."
"I love you."
