Ana's POV

It is six in the evening and I am still in my PJs. I guess it is ok because Mia, Kate, and even Grace decided to join me in a pajama day. The whole family has been lounging around today. They are all heading back to work tomorrow. I have however been informed that in two hour shifts throughout the day at least one of them will be with me. It has been a good day for the most part. Grace, however, decide not too long after lunch was over that she wanted me hooked up to the heart monitor again. She has at least set it so that it only sound in alarm.

As I look around the room I see many concerned faces but I just put it out of my mind. We are all sitting around playing scrabble. I look up and I must have zoned out because everyone is now staring at me. Wow! It must have been a while because the last thing I remember is Kate playing the word 'exceptional.'

"Is it my turn?" they all nod. "Oh ok. W-H-I-Z-B-A-N-G! Ok that is two triple words plus the 50 point bonus equals 284 points." I look around the room and everyone is quite.

"Damn it!" Elliot exclaims slightly exaggeratedly. "She blocked my move!" The whole room erupts into laughter. Just then I catch Grace and Christian walking out of the room into the kitchen. I wonder where they are going. My thoughts are soon quashed by a sudden need to pee. I stand shakily as hands fly toward me.

"I'm ok guys." I sigh trying to reassure them "I just need to use the restroom." I grab onto the rolling stand that has both the heart monitor and my IV on it and turn to leave the room.

After taking care of business I carefully make my way back to the living room. However, I am distracted by my loving husband's worried voice coming from the kitchen. I stand just outside the door watching him hold on to his mother for dear life. I see tears running down both of their cheeks. This is so unlike Christian. I am starting to get worried. I hear Grace is trying to sooth and reassure him but it is not working.

"But mom," he cried sounding like my little lost boy. "I am so scared. She had a seizure at lunch and another one just a few minutes ago. What if..." Grace cuts him off.

"Sweetheart. Christian look at me!" She pulls back just enough to catch his eyes. "She will be fine. You heard the doctors. They said it is just her body's way of dealing with the poisoning and the stress. The seizures will go away eventually. You just have to make sure she doesn't get hurt while having one."

"I know you're right I just..." He quickly turns and rubs his hand down his face. "I mean she doesn't even realize what's happening." he throws his arm up and lets it fall with a slap against his leg.

"Well maybe we should tell her." Grace retorts. Christian's eyes go wide. I know he thinks of me as a fragile little china doll, but I'm not. I am getting very tired. I cannot stand here much longer so I make my way back to the living room. I get settled onto the couch and lean my head back just for a moment. I am reveling in the seen that I just witnessed in the kitchen when I hear a loud thud. What the hell? I sit up to see Kate pinning Elliot to the floor.

"You sneaky little cheat!" she shouted pulling scrabble tiles out of the cuffs of his shirt. One moment she has him pinned and the next he has rolled her and has her pinned. Oh no! Kate will not stand for that. She uses all the leverage she can manage and flips him head first over the top of her head and quickly swings her body up and over on top of him. I start to chuckle. Mia is now laying flat on her stomach next to them.

"One! Two! Three!" she yells slapping the floor each time. She jumps to her feet pulling Kate along with her holding Kate's hand high Mia looks around the room and says: "Your Winner, Ladies and Gentleman." The whole room cheers whole heartedly and busts into laughter. I realize then that Grace and Christian have joined us. But, what is even more amusing is that Ethan has recorded the whole thing on his phone. Elliot is still laying on the ground in defeat.

"How in the hell did you do that?" he looks to Kate for answers. She smiles and shrugs. I laugh and everyone turns their attention to me.

"She and I took self-defense classes together." I explain with a little chuckle. Turning to beam my biggest smile at my husband I add: "So you better watch it Mr. Grey." he returns my smile but it doesn't quite reach his eyes. I can see nothing but fear written all over his face. I hold my hands out to him and he comes to me kneeling on the floor in front of me with his head resting on my lap.

"Guys can you give us a minute." they all stand and start to leave. "Wait, Grace please stay." She comes and sits next to me on the couch. She puts one arm around my waist and holds Christian's hand with the other. It is silent for a minute before I am finally brave enough to speak.

"So, seizures huh?" two pair of shocked and scared eyes are burning wholes in my body. "I heard you two in the kitchen earlier. What do we do about this?" Christian is holding me tighter now. But he doesn't speak.

"Ana, darling, first I want you to know this will go away. As for what we do... We monitor you very closely. We make sure you are eating and drinking enough and regularly. And we have blood work run daily and vitals checked every two hours. Someone is to be with you at all times." Grace says going into her doctor mode.

"Okay, we can handle this." I state and she nods but Christian is still clinging to me like I might disappear if he lets go. "Grace, can I have a moment with my husband?" Without another word she stands and leaves the room. I stroke Christian's hair for just a second longer.

"Christian, Love, look at me." he does and I see the tears forming in his eyes. "Talk to me!" he breathes in a deep ragged breath and sighs.

"Anastasia, don't die!" he whispers. "I don't think I could survive if you did." I look deep into his eyes and see him baring his soul for the whole world to see. I kiss him passionately. I don't let go until I need to come up for air.

"Baby, I am not going to die for a long, long time." I try and reassure him. He relaxes a bit after that and our kiss work their magic. "I want you to go and see Dr. Flynn tomorrow." he just nods. "and tonight I want you to take me to bed. One where we can both sleep comfortable." he nods again. "Christian say something!"

"I love you, Ana." is all he can muster

"I love you too. Now, go get your family. You and I need to watch Elliot getting his butt kicked again." he smiles a real smile this time and stands to retrieve his whole family.
