A/N: Once again I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get this updated. I hate when real life gets in the way. I have several ideas swirling around in my head and I am trying to get them all down before I forget, I know at the moment there are a few storylines open but I promise they will all come together soon. I am working on the next chapter and so I hope to have that up tomorrow. The next few will be short but good.
This one is not super exciting but it is needed to set up the next few. Enjoy and thanks again for following my story and reviewing. I love ya!
It's been almost over a week since I went 'Momma Bear' on the bitch troll. I can't help but giggle at that new nick name Kate bestowed upon me. Christian had Elena served with a restraining order which forbids her to be anywhere close to any member of our family. I am not if that will do the trick, but we have not heard anything from her since the 'incident' Carrick is looking into other options as well and Christian has been much more forthcoming with information regarding her. I can't help but smile knowing I proved myself to the bitch troll and to Christian, he knows now I can handle things just fine.
Christian's birthday is on Monday, which is only 3 days away and, I struggled with what to get Christian, the man has everything! I have Teddy's present for Christian all done, it's a copy of the picture of Christian and Teddy at the benefit last week where they are both dressed alike in matching tuxes. I had it framed with the saying 'Like father, Like son' written on the top and along the bottom it says 'I love you. Thank you for being my Daddy, Love Teddy'. I also have the picture that was taken of the entire family Greys and Kavanaghs; I put that one in a frame that says 'Family is Forever'. I know the gifts are simple but I really hope Christian likes them. Since Christians birthday is on Monday, I have decided that this entire weekend would be his birthday weekend I have planned a surprise party at the club for Saturday night with his family and some of his friends, Ros & Gwen, Flynn & Rhian, Mac, Claude, even Gail, Taylor, Sawyer and Ryan will be there off duty. I have it all planned with Kate and Elliott who are coming to pick up Teddy in the morning and keep him for the day. Christian I will be spending the day on The Grace, and then he thinks that we are going for a quiet dinner just the two of us. I had Mia call Christian and tell him that she was planning a BBQ on Sunday afternoon with the whole family to throw him off. I have made arrangements to go to Aspen on Sunday morning, we will come home Monday evening, no way am I letting Christian actually work on his birthday.
I made and appointment with Dr. Greene, last week for today to make sure everything is OK. Really I am going to see her to find out if we would be ok getting off 'suspension' a little early. Technically we are not finished until Monday, but I mean what's 3 days right? I am hoping she will tell me that it is ok to have sex again. If I get the answers I want then I can begin Christians Birthday Celebration early tomorrow with lunch at Escala, and I can call Andrea to clear his schedule.
I am getting ready to go, Christian does not know about the doctor's appointment, he thinks I am just meeting Kate for lunch, which I am, both Taylor and Sawyer know not to say a word, that it's all part of the surprise. I make my way downstairs with Teddy in my arms and the Diaper bag and my purse over my shoulder. Sawyer takes the bags from me and informs me that Ryan has the car waiting out front.
"Gail, I am off and I won't be back until later this afternoon."
"Enjoy yourself Ana, and I will see you when you return." Gail relies with a smile.
Walk out and climb into the back seat with Teddy and strap him in tightly, he just watches me and checks out his surroundings. Once I am in Sawyer closes the door and climbs in the front passenger seat. We have yet to hire another security guard. I am very reluctant about the idea and I have insisted that before anyone else is hired I want to interview them as well. It's not that I don't trust Taylor, I do no doubt! I trust him with my husband's life, but we are however dealing with my son and I don't want another fuck up like before. Christian was not pleased with this idea but I stood firm and once he saw my point he agreed that he and I but mostly, I would have final say as to who else is protecting my son.
"Ok good to go Sawyer." I state as I buckle my seatbelt and settle into the back seat.
Ryan heads out of the gate and we are on our way to D. Greene's office.
"Sawyer."
"Ma'am?"
"Christian is still unaware of my Dr.'s appointment correct."
"Yes Ma'am Mr. Grey is unaware; I believe Taylor told him you would be doing a little shopping before your lunch with Katherine."
"Perfect. Thank you Sawyer."
He nods and turns back to the front window.
Sawyer escorts us into Dr. Greene office while Ryan parks the car. Sawyer stands by the door and Ryan stays with the car. The nurse comes out and calls my name, she escorts me back to an exam room; Teddy is in his car seat cooing to himself.
"Hi Ana." Dr. Greene smiles as she comes in.
"Hi Dr. Greene"
"Aww you brought Theodore with you, he is getting so big Ana, and he looks just like his Daddy."
"Yes he is getting big, I just can't believe how much I love him, and yes he looks just like Christian which, is not going to do well for me when he gets older and becomes interested in girls." I reply laughing, Dr. Greene laughs too.
"So what is this appointment for Ana, I wasn't expecting you until early next week."
"Well Dr. Greene, I just want to make sure I have healed properly and well to be honest….I…um…I…was…um…"
"Ana is everything ok? Are you having any pain or problems?" Dr. Greene ask sternly
"Oh no nothing like that, I feel great no problems of any kind."
"Ok well what is it then?"
"Sex." I state as my cheeks turn bright red. Dr. Green just smiles.
"You see we have been creative like you suggested and I know officially our 6 weeks are up on Monday but Christians birthday is this weekend and I was hoping we could…you know…celebrate properly." My eyes rise cautiously to Dr. Greene's amused look.
"Ah I see, well the 6 weeks is not an exact science, most woman wait longer because they just aren't ready. I don't want you to be pressured into anything you're not ready for."
"No Dr. Green there is not pressure at all, believe me, Christian is good at following rules where I am concerned he won't even consider sex as an option until Monday, and even then he will want me to see you first for the all clear. This is my idea Christian does not know I am here. I want this to be part of his birthday present, trust me the last 6 weeks have been just a tough for me as it has been for him."
"Ok well then let's get you checked out. If you would please remove your skirt and panties and lie down on the table we will get started."
I do as she asks as she prepares the ultrasound machine, and places a condom on the wand.
"Take a deep breath and relax Ana." Dr. Greene begins her exam
"Ok Ana we are done go ahead and get dressed."
I do quickly. "So Dr. Greene is everything ok?"
"Well it looks like everything is fine Ana. You have healed quite nicely. I don't see any problems with you resuming your normal sex life, as long as you promise to come in and see me if anything becomes uncomfortable."
I can't help the grin on my face it's going to be difficult to not pounce on my husband as soon as he walks in the door tonight, but knowing how surprised he will be tomorrow makes it all worth it.
"Thank you Dr. Greene. I promise if anything hurts or becomes uncomfortable I will come in right away. I was wondering can I get this in writing?" I laugh "Chrisitan is going to have to have a Dr. Note before he feels better." The smile still evident on my face and Dr. Greene chuckles softly.
"Yes I think I can do that for you. From my experience with your husband he just wants to make sure you are safe."
"Yes he does." I smile and stand up and shake her hand and gather up my son. She hands me a note and follows me out of the room. I head back out to the waiting room. Sawyer stands to attention and returns my smile.
"Ryan, bring the car around.
"Ana" he nods and follows me out to car.
"By that smile and the look on your face I take it your appointment went well?" Sawyer asks as we wait for Ryan to pull up.
"Yes Luke it went very well and as soon as I put in a call to Andrea we can make the arrangements we discussed for tomorrow." I grin
I climb into the back seat with Teddy and get him settled again. We are off to meet Kate at the club, which is perfect so I can make sure things are finalized for Saturday night. I grab my phone and E-mail Christian

I smile as I hit send, knowing the email from 'Teddy' will make Christian smile. Next I dial the main number for Christians office. Andrea answers
"Grey House this is Andrea how may I help you?"
"Hi Andrea its Mrs. Grey."
"Hello Mrs. Grey, how are you doing today?"
"I am well thank you Andrea, hope you are as well?"
"Yes ma'am, would you like me to put you through to Mr. Grey?"
"No Andrea actually I would appreciate you not telling him I called, I actually need to know what Christians day looks like tomorrow."
"Well Mr. Grey has a meeting at 10am and then he has another at 11:30a.m he has a break from 12:30p.m. to 2p.m. then has a meeting at 2:15p.m with his department heads."
"Andrea how important is the department head meeting?"
"It's a monthly meeting Mr. Grey has to make sure everything is progressing properly."
"So it can be re-scheduled then."
"Umm, yes I guess it could but I don't feel comfortable doing what without discussing it with Mr. Grey first."
"I understand Andrea, however I can assure you that Mr. Grey won't mind just don't tell him that you have rescheduled it. Let him think he still has the meeting and inform the department heads to do the same just in case he runs into any of them before the meeting. I have plans for Mr. Grey tomorrow afternoon, but they are a surprise. I promise Andrea you won't get into any trouble."
"Well…I….errr…"
"Andrea, trust me once Chrisitan figures out his surprise he will tell you to reschedule the meeting himself, I am just giving you some more notice to the department heads are not blindsided."
"Well if you are sure Mrs. Grey, I will reschedule."
"I am sure. Thanks Andrea and have a great day."
"Thank you Mrs. Grey Good-Bye"
"Good-Bye Andrea."
I smile as I hang up the phone and I catch Sawyers grin.
"What?" I ask innocently
"You have become quite authoritative lately and I must say Ana, I am impressed."
"Thank you Sawyer, I think my husband is rubbing off on me." I reply with a grin of my own.

My sweet Teddy Bear,
My day at work just got much better. Thank you for reminding me about your lunch date with Auntie Kate. I do hope you and Mommy have a good time. I am glad that Sawyer and Ryan are with you to keep you both safe. Please tell Mommy that she does not need to find me the perfect birthday present, you and mommy are the only present I will ever need. I love you both so much. None the less I know how stubborn your Mommy can be so I do hope you enjoy more shopping and please be good for Mommy. I can't wait for my cuddles with you when I get home. I love you Teddy Bear (I Love you to Ana) more then you both know. I will see you when I get home.
Love always
Daddy (Christian)
Luckiest Man in the World, CEO Grey Enterprises Holdings, Inc.
My husband is so sweet and so good to us, I don't know if I can possibly love him anymore but I do, more and more every day.
"Ana?!" Sawyer's voice snaps me back to reality
"Huh? What?"
Sawyer chuckles. "You've got it bad Ana." He grins
I laugh. "Yes I would say I do."
"We are at the club ma'am"
"Oh wonderful thank you." I grab my purse and unlock Teddy's car seat from the base, I take Teddy out of the seat, I'd much rather carry him without the car seat. I climb out of the back of the car. Sawyer has the diaper bag already in his hand and grabs the car seat, to bring in for me. We make our way into the club while, Ryan goes to park the car. I am greeted right away by the hostess.
"Mrs. Grey how lovely to see you. Your table is ready right this way." She says with a smile
Once I am settled at the table I ask the host to inform Joseph that I am here and would like to finalized plans for Saturday. She nods with a smile. Over her shoulder I see another hostess escorting Kate over. I stand up still holding Teddy and hug Kate.
"Ana you look great!" She smiles
"Thanks Kate, I have been doing some light workout sessions with Claude to get back into shape. You look good too I love that top!"
"Thanks! Can I hold my nephew now please." She asks in her way that is more like a demand.
I laugh and hand him over. Kate Settles into the back of the booth with Teddy in her arms
"Hello Teddy, how are you today?" Kate asks and continues to talk to her nephew when the water come over to take out drink order.
"Water and Iced Tea for me please."
"Same" Kate replies
"Anything to start?" the waiter asks
"I'll have a garden salad please. Kate?"
"Mm that sounds good I'll have one as well and I'd like a Turkey Club on wheat bread please."
I can't help but laugh as Kate and I lock eyes.
"We will make this easy for you and I'll have the same please." I smile up at the waiter who smiles back and leaves to place our order.
"So Kate how are you? How is work going?"
"Work is work, nothing super exciting or anything. How about you are you going back to work anytime soon?"
"I am not sure, I have been working a little from home, I think I will start going back for half days, I really can't stand to leave Teddy right now."
"That's understandable, at least you do have the option to stay home longer not many mothers have that choice."
"Agreed. I really am lucky."
"Hello Mrs. Grey, I don't mean to interrupt."
"Hello Joseph you are not interrupting, I am glad they notified you that I was here. I would like to finalize things for Saturday."
"Yes Ma'am of course I have the plans right here with me." He pulls up a chair.
"Excellent." I grin as I glance at Kate who is smirking at me.
"Have you given anymore thought as to the menu for the evening?"
"Yes I have. I would like Risotto Pasta, with Breaded Parmesan Chicken. I'd like a mixed green salad available with assorted toppings and dressings. I'd also like fresh fruit, and cheeses available to munch on while people are mingling before dinner. I would like the Sancerre served and the 2002 Cristal available for a toast."
"Yes Ma'am that sounds excellent what about dessert?"
"For Dessert we will be having Chocolate Cake however the cake will be made by Mia Grey and brought to you that afternoon." I say with a smile.
"Sounds great Mrs. Grey I will notify the staff and take care of it all."
"Thank you Joseph oh and here put everything on this card please."
"Mrs. Grey you are aware that your husband has an account here correct we can just bill that."
"Yes Joseph I am aware of that, our lunch today will be charged to that account but seeing as how this a surprise party for my husband's birthday I would prefer to pay for it myself and not use my husband's account." I inform him politely as I hand over the debit card for my personal account.
"Of Course." He replies with a smile as he takes my card.
"I will put this into our system and bring it back."
"Thank you." I smile in return. Joseph walks away.
"Well Mrs. Grey I have to say I am impressed, very assertive." Kate grins at me
"Yes well I must say I have gotten much better at stating what I want and usually getting my way, the name 'Grey' goes a long way." I giggle
Our food begins to arrive and Kate and I just chat and laugh all through lunch. I really miss this time with Kate we really need to do this more often!
"Kate what do you have planned for the rest of the afternoon?"
"Nothing really why what's up?"
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping with me?"
"You know I am always up for a shopping trip what are we looking for?"
"Well I went and saw Dr. Green today before lunch and she said Christian and I could officially be off suspension so I need to find some sexy lingerie for tomorrow and this weekend and I don't really think I should be asking Sawyers opinion." I giggle and Kate starts to laugh
"No I don't think Mr. Control Freak would be ok with that either." She laughs
"Well let's go find you some sexy lingerie that your husband is going to want to rip off you!"
We both laugh and make our way out of the club and to the car.
