I look at the little sonogram and still can't believe that I'm pregnant. This little embryo is growing with a beating heart inside of me. I put my hand on my stomach discretely as Taylor was driving me back. I had the sonogram photo in my wallet and had my phone in hand next to it. I look through my calendar and scroll through the months prior. We conceived on Thanksgiving towards the end of my fertile window and my due is set for August next year. I didn't think this would happen so quickly. This is truly a Christmas miracle. I want to wait Christmas Eve to tell Christian. It'll be a surprise and perfect Christmas present for him.

We get back to the house and the car was already pulled out of the garage. Teddy was playing with the flowers in the front garden while Christian took pictures of him. He loves capturing every moment Teddy has to keep and it's so sweet. I step out of the car and Teddy turns around when I close the door. He toddles to me and I lift him in my arms. I kiss his sweet cheeks, making him laugh

"Hi baby boy. Were you and your daddy waiting for me?" I saw walking up to him and kissing his lips.

"We just finished loading up the car. I'm driving us over. How did your appointment go?"

"It went good. Everything healed up great and I'm a happy and healthy. So were good to start when were ready."

"Great. I got all our stuff packed and Teddy's toys so he doesn't get too fussy."

"Including Wubby?" I talk about his stuffed giraffe.

"Yes including Wubby."

"I hope there's room for the gifts. I stopped at the mall to pick up the last ones we ordered."

"There's room in the trunk."

"Good cause I also hoping you're up for a quick snack after we get there. Tell them we have to go to the mall and we can park on the far side of the estate. We got an alibi."

"Mrs. Grey, there's a child present." He laughs at Teddy whose's resting on my shoulder.

"He doesn't what we're talking about. So are you in?"

"Yeah. Let's get there then." He kisses me and takes Teddy to put him in his car seat. I get in the front seat of our Audi8 and sit back in the seat. As he loads the car, I exhale in relief that I didn't blurt it out. I'm so excited to tell him but I want to make a special surprise for Christmas.


Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve. The night of the Grey's annual Christmas party. One of the biggest social events of the year in Seattle society. Tonight I'm going to tell Christian I'm pregnant. I don't know how I've been able to keep this a secret for three days. He hasn't been able to keep his hands off me since we've gotten to his parents house. With my extra hormones, I haven't been saying no either. I've avoided wine and smelly foods that would trigger my morning sickness. I'm surprised no one has suspected anything yet, including Kate. We probably won't announce the pregnancy until March when I'm past my first trimester.

I walk out of the bathroom after doing my natural make up. My hair is curled with my bangs out in the front. I have on a sparkling maroon long sleeved dress that went down to my lower knees. My black closed toed heels go along with them and my charm bracelet go along with it. I'm putting on my stud earrings when there's a knock on the door.

"It's open." The door opens and it's Mia. She's in a tight long sleeved pink holiday dress. Her hair is wavy blonde and she has the blush pink make up theme down.

"Hey pretty girl. Figured you'd be hiding from the hysteria downstairs."

"I was just finishing getting ready."

"I just wanted to give this before the party. It's one of the gifts I got you." She pulls a medium square box in gold wrapping from behind her back.

"Mia, it's so sweet." She hands it to me and she sits next to me. I unwrap it and it's a red velvet box. I open it and it's a heart shaped gold locket.

"I found it in this jewelry store in Paris. You can put little pictures in there or put a little birthstone in the fitted part in the middle."

"Mia it's beautiful, thank you." I hug her.

"I want to give you something sentimental. I know this year has been rough for you and Christian but I know next year will be better for you and for Christian."

"Thank you. It's honestly already starting to look better. You and Grace have been such a help to us and Teddy these last few months."

"You're family. That's what family does for each other." She rubs my shoulder and puts her hand on top of mind. We've become so close over the last two years. With all her traveling and me with my job and domestic life, we somehow stayed having a sisterly relationship.

"Mia, there's something I want to show you but you need not tell anyone, especially Christian. I haven't even told him yet."

"Scoutts honor. What is it?" I reach down for my purse and grab my wallet. I unhook the latch and open it. I hand it to her and her eyes light up when she sees the sonogram. "Is that?"

"It is."

"OH MY GOD! Conrgatulations." She hugs me immediately. "How far along are you?"

"About five weeks. It was a complete surprise, I've only known for a couple of days."

"When are you telling Christian?"

"After the party. I wanted to make it a sweet little Christmas present since this is a miracle baby."

"I'm so happy for you both." She hugs me again and I hug her back.

"We should probably head downstairs before your mom send s a search party to look for us."


The house is lit up with so many decorations of gold and red. The tree is so high and decked with so many ornaments. People are dressed for the season with their spouses and children. The music is playing and drinks are pouring through the house. We get to the bottom of the stairs and I spot Christian by the piano. I walk over to him and when he sees me, he grabs two glasses of champagne from a tray. I don't know how long I can keep passing up drinks before people start asking questions. He dressed in a navy blue suit with a white collar shirt and he looks so handsome. Control yourself Ana, save that for later.

"There's my girl. I thought you were hiding upstairs?" He kisses me and I wrap my arm around him.

"And miss all of this?"

"Yeah, mom and dad really outdid themselves again." He hands the glass to me and I push it away.

"I don't want to take it on an empty stomach."

"I most certainly will." Mia pops from behind me and takes the glass from him. I turn around and mouth "thank you" to her.

"Are you okay? You've been off the last couple of days."

"I just can't wait to give you my present later."

"I know. Our usual tradition I never get tired of. Maybe we get do our gift exchange early before dinner."

"Right now?" I'm surprised while trying to stay calm about how I will tell him. "What about the family portrait?"

"We got a good twenty minutes."

"What about Teddy?"

"He's with my grandfather." I try to come up with excuses but no avail.

"Fine but twenty minutes and that's it." We sneak our way through the party and back up the stairs. This was sooner than expected but at least I'll get to tell him about mini blip now.


We walk into the room and as soon as we get in, he locks lips with me as he locks the door. He pushes me on the bed and he gets on his knees in front of me. I sit up before he can take anything off.

"I guess we should exchange our gifts now."

"Which ones because I was thinking along the lines of something chocolate." He whispers in my ear as his hand goes up my thigh.

"Christian, I really want to to give you this present before we do anything physical."

"Okay, show me." I reach under the bed and pull out a square blue velvet box. I hand it to him and he looks in wonder of what's inside.

"It's small but I think you'll like it." He opens the box and he finds a small golden picture frame with Blip two's sonogram. He has the same one but with Teddy's in his office

"It's a frame of Teddy's first pictures."

"That isn't Teddy."

"Then who-" He connects the dots quickly and he looks at me with eyes starting to tear up. "Ana is this-"

"Yes."

"Are you really?"

"Yes."

"I need to hear you say it." I put my hands on the side of his face.

"I'm pregnant." I start crying and he starts to cry too. He hugs me and lifts me off the bed. "But how?"

"Thanksgiving. I found out at my last appointment and wanted it to make it a surprise for you. Are you happy?"

"Ana, I'm so happy. This is the best Christmas you could ever give me." He kisses me and goes down on his knees to kiss my flat stomach. "Little Blip."

"Our Little Blips." I say rubbing his hair thinking of our son and second baby on the way.

"Wait there's twins." He says popping off on his feet.

"No it's just one."

"This is the best present ever." He says not being able to to take his hands off my stomach.

"Well that's not the only present." I say pulling him back towards the side of the bed.

"I'm sure there's no other gift better than this."

"Are you sure?" I pull out a pair of fluffy red hand cuffs and a silk black blindfold.

"What are those?" He smiles with curiousity.

"One of your many non-vanilla gifts I got you and you have eighteen minutes to find out. What's it going to be?" I smirk at him as I pull out a small black flogger with my other hand.

"Merry Christmas to me." He says as he lays me back down on the bed as we make out.


Alright now that was my last update for 2018. I had to cut it in two so the story wasn't so saturated. You thought I was going to leave you hanging. Will continue with this story in 2019, so basically next week. Have a great New Years! :)
