Hi everyone
So here is the last chapter. I have loved writing this story and I would have loved to have gone on and one with it but I know real life will get in the way.
For the next few months I won't be writing multi chapter stories. I'm going to post one shots or short stories that are less than 6 chapters but I will only post them when I have completed them. That way I can post a chapter a day.
Thak you you to every single person who has PMd me or left a review.
You guys rock!
Cheers xoxox
4 YEARS LATER, PHOEBES POV
"Matthew Tortuga! I am going to kill you!" I scream down the stairs when I see the carnage that is our 3 year old daughters room.
I left him to look after her for a couple of hours with only 2 instructions. Don't give her anything messy and keep her away from her white dress which she is wearing to my sisters rehearsal dinner/party tonight.
What did I come home to?
A hyperactive toddler covered in chocolate pudding and a white dress with 2 messy hand prints on it.
Kill him slowly! That's what I will do!
I march down the stairs in a rage but when I see my husband and daughter giggling on the sofa some of it disappears.
I stand in front of them with my hands on my hips and I try to look stern.
"Mama mad, daddy" SJ looks at him with her big green eyes and then laughs when he tickles her.
"Dont worry, Cupcake. Daddy knows how to handle Mommy" He give me a sexy grin which causes me to roll my eyes. He reaches out and pulls me down so I am sat beside them. SJ immeadetly crawls onto my lap and snuggles her little head into my neck.
"As soon as I saw what she had done to her dress I called Niemans and ordered her another one which should be delivered here in an hour" He reassure me and then gives me a kiss.
"I just want everything to run smoothly tonight. Maggie has turned into bridezilla and the slightest little thing is pissing her off at the moment. I don't think she could handle her flower girl looking like she's been dumper diving"
"Thank god you weren't a picky bride. I don't understand why your sister and Paul couldn't do what we did"
"Our wedding was perfect for us but it's not Maggies style. Besides, Paul has a huge family so it was inevitable that this would turn into a 3 ring circus"
When I married Matthew, there was only a handfull of people, mainly my family, Gail and Taylor and Mark and Blaze. We were married at sunset in my parents backyard and then we had an old school cook out barbecue. The whole thing was planned in less than 3 weeks and everything went off without a hitch.
Maggies wedding is another story.
500 hundred invitations have gone out and it's being held in the grand ball room at the Fairmont Hotel. The wedding has been in the making for 2 years and at one stage I think Paul was one bitch fit away from making her elope but in the end everything has come together.
"Have Katie and Tommy arrived yet?" He asks me while stroking SJ's head.
Her full name is Sawyer-Jane Katherine Tortuga-Grey but we call her SJ for short. Jane is after Matthews biological mother, Katherine is after my little sister and of course Sawyer is after Luke.
"That's why I had to go to my parents. Katie stepped off the jet with a boy in tow and my father almost had a heart attack"
"She brought a guy home!" He asks stunned.
"Yep. He's 6'2 and he's on the football team. Linebacker, I think. They met at freshman orientation and have been dating ever since" I shrug and kiss my daughters now sleeping head.
I knew that Katie was dating. She three way called myself and Maggie about 6 weeks back asking for advice.
She has been at Harvard with Tommy for 3 months now and she loves campus life. She had a boyfriend in higschool when she was 17 but I know they didn't get any further than kissing. When she met this boy, Richard at orientation she said she felt actual butterfly's. He seems like a nice enough guy but just to make sure he was treating our baby sister the right way, Maggie and I flew straight out there to see for ourselves.
When we walked into the apartment that she shares with Tommy we found her dry humping Richard on the sofa. After he put his top back on we made him leave and then we gave Katie the mother of all sex talks. I tried to hammer home the importance of protection to her and Maggie was trying to describe every sexual posistion known to man.
We left about an hour later after I had gone to the store and bought Katie 100 condoms. I don't like the thought of my baby sister having sex but she's at college and it was going to happen sooner or later. I took one look at her earlier and I could just tell that she's done it with Richard.
My father was less than pleased but I have a feeling that my mother knew what was going to happen. She is so close with Katie that I know that Katie would have called her for words of wisdom.
"We better start getting ready. Maggie will kill us if we are late" I say but I snuggle deeper into my husbands side.
Our love has grown over the last 4 years and I can honestly say that it's been the best 4 years of my life.
We still go to the club but only about once a month. We moved out of Escala when I was in my 8th month of pregnancy and bought a house about a mile down the road from my parents. There is only one house in between both property's and I know that Teddy bought it.
He chased Blaze like no woman has ever been chased and eventually she gave in and agreed to go on a date with him.
It went horribly. They ended up arguing most of the night and when Teddy dropped her home she slapped him. He was so pissed that he punched the steering wheel which activated the airbag and he ended up with a broken nose.
After that he went back to his playboy ways and jetted from country to country on GEH business. He didn't see Blaze for over a 2 years until he came back for the coping together ball at my grandparent. Blaze was there with a date but when it came time for the first dance auction, Teddy bid $50,000 for her first dance. They danced and talked the night away and he ended up driving her home.
Since then they have been glued to each other's hips. I don't know if marriage is on the cards for them yet as they butt heads often but I think my brother must be planning for the future if he's bought the house next door.
The biggest shock of the last 4 years was Mark.
Our tough as nails hard assed dominant who swore he would never be tied down by any woman ever has become the most pussy whipped guy in history.
He moved out of his bachelor pad apartment and got himself a house with a white picket fence. He proposed and married his girl within 6 months of meeting her and now they are expecting their first child. A child that will be my newest little cousin because the girl he fell head over heels for, was Ava.
"Before we get ready, have you given anymore thought about what we talked about last night?" He asks me apprehensively.
I look up into his beautiful eyes and smile.
"I have"
"And?"
"And I went to the doctor this morning and had my coil removed" I grin.
"You did? So if we have sex right now then there is a chance I could get you pregnant?"
"There's a chance but seeing as our daughter is fast asleep on my chest I would say it's a slim chance" I giggle.
He shifts beside me and then gently lifts our sleeping daughter into his arms. He places her down softly in her playpen and then puts her little blanket over her. He turns and grabs my hand and practically drags me into the laundry room. He grab my hips and lifts me onto the dryer.
"What were you saying about my chances being slim?"
"Sorry I doubted you. Now, love me"
"I don't know whether to punch him or hug him" Maggie mumbles while looking at Katie's boyfriend, Richard.
"He seems to have a good affect on her. She's really calmed down. But just the thought of him with his hands on her drives me wild!"
"Drives you wild? Pheebs, you're not the one who walked into the boathouse earlier and stumbled in on him going down on her"
"EWW! Maggie! TMI!" I squeal and she laughs.
We are broken out of our laughing fit when Matthew walks in carrying SJ and she starts screeching when she sees my father. Her little legs start to kick and she's off before Matthew can even lower her to the ground. My father turns when he hears her and crouches down to catch her as she throws herself into his arms.
"There's my beautiful princess!" He scoops her up and then gives her a dozen kisses on her neck making her giggle. The senator and governor he was talking to look on in amusement as Cristian Grey, CEO Hard ass, starts playing patty cake with his 3 year old granddaughter.
She is 100% a grandpas girl. I put it down to the fact that he was the first one to hold her after she was born. It was the most amazing and mortifying experience of my life.
I was 8 and a half months pregnant and went to Grey house to have lunch with my father and Katie. We had a beautiful meal of pulled pork burgers and fries and then he insisted that he walk us down to the parking garage. We got in the elevator and between the 14th and 15th floor the elevator stopped dead. I have a small fear of confined spaces and the shock of being stuck in that lift sent me into labour.
My father immeadieltly took charge and got on his cell phone and screamed at every engineer he could get hold of. After an hour it was clear that the baby was coming and nothing was going to stop her.
I refused point blank for my father to see me from the waist down so he sat behind my head and Katie had to deliver the baby.
She cursed and screamed so much that even my father was blushing. She almost fainted when she first saw the baby's head but then my mother called her cell phone and talked her through it along with the paramedic who was waiting in the lobby of Grey House.
I pushed and pushed and as soon as the baby was born and I saw that she was ok I passed out. Katie handed the baby to my father and not a minute later the elevator started working and the doors opened to the lobby.
Waiting for us were Matthew, Maggie and my mother along with a team of paramedics. We were whisked off to the hospital and we both got the all clear. Katie was so excited when I gave the baby her name but if it wasn't for her, the birth may have gone a whole lot different.
That experience changed Katie in a big way and we were all shocked when she came home three weeks later and said that she decided to go Pre Med at Harvard. She wants to become a paediatrician and even though that means she will be away for 8 years at medical school, I have no doubt that she will make a fantastic doctor.
Tommy is following in mine and Teddys footsteps and he is studying economics with a goal of being my COO when one day when I take over as CEO. Teddy never wanted to be top dog at Grey House so it will be nice to have one of my brothers working right beside me one day.
Maggie is now my mothers right hand woman at Grey Publishing and I know they have the best time working together. More than once my father and I have gone down there to view the financials and we have found them giggling over cups of Tea in my mothers office.
"Can you believe how much dad took to being a grandpa? I mean, I know he was a great father to us growing up but last week he blew off a meeting that would have netted GEH close to 10 million dollars just so he could come to our place and take SJ to the pond to feed the ducks"
"He loves that little girl, Pheebs. Do you know he asked me the other day if Paul and I would have kids right away? He's excited about having another kid to bounce on his knee"
"Keep it to yourself but Matthew and I are trying" I tell her with a smile.
"Really? That's great! It will be even greater if you could get pregnant like in the next couple of months"
"Why the next couple of months?" I ask.
"Because it would be nice for my little one to have a cousin close to their own age" She tells me softly and gently touches her belly.
"What! You're pregnant?"
"I'm 8 weeks. That's why I have been such a bitch this last few weeks. I'm not bridezilla. I'm hormonal!"
"I'm so happy for you!" I wrap her in a big hug and tears spring to my eyes. My sisters having a baby!
After walking around and greeting all the people that I needed to, I find myself back at our table with my mother.
I smile when I look out in the dance floor and see Matthew dancing with SJ in his arms. He spins her around making her giggle and then I laugh when I see my father walk up behind them. My daughter starts going crazy for her grandpa and when Matthew sees him he laugh. My father says something to Matthew and shakes his hand. My husband then hands our daughter over to him and makes his way over to me.
Their relationship over the last 4 years has gotten better. They're no where near being best buds but each year when my father does his annual boys in the woods camping trip with Teddy, Tommy and Paul, he invites Matthew along.
One of my fondest memories of them together was the twins 18th birthday party. When all the guests had gone home my father cracked open a bottle of scotch and him and Matthew got wasted off their faces. They were laughing and joking with each other all night and the next day they were both sick as dogs together.
About a year ago my father approached Matthew with an offer to contract Tortuga Trucking with some shipping needs that GEH had. Matthew accepted and since then Tortuga Trucking has tripled in size. I think the contract was my fathers way of extending the olive branch. I don't think he loves my husband like a son but I know that he has a lot of respect for Matthew and the way he treats me.
"Hey, baby" he sits beside me and then kisses me just below my ear.
I see my mother smiling at us with a look of nostalgia on her face.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
"I'm just thinking how much you and Matthew remind me of your father and I"
"If our marriage is half as good as yours then I'm counting it as a win" I smile.
She stands up and kisses me softly on the forehead and then joins my father and daughter on the dance floor.
"While your parents are looking after SJ...wanna sneak away to the boat house?"
"You read my mind, Mr Tortuga"
CHRISTIANS POV, TEN MINUTES BEFORE.
I wonder if I could get Taylor to drown the little prick in the lake!
I am stood just off the dance floor watching as this boy twirls my baby girl around the dance floor. I don't care if he is a model student with perfect grades, perfect sportsman and the fact that he comes from one of the wealthiest family's in New York.
I don't like him!
I feel like I am losing my girls one at a time.
Phoebe is married with a kid. Maggie is getting married in 2 days and now my baby girl has brought a boy home for the first time. Everything is happening too fast.
I would even bet money on Teddy being married before years end. He is head over heels for Jennifer. Not that I mind. She's a wonderful girl and Teddy has really settled down. It pleases his mother greatly that he no longer jets all over the world and has set up base in Seattle.
Little does my wife know but my youngest son has picked up his brothers playboy baton. The twins don't have close security at college but the few reports I have had all said that Tommy "Entertained" 2 or 3 different girls each week. Those same reports mentioned nothing about my daughter and this boy. She always was good at getting around security.
I hear a squeal and I look at my granddaughter who is giggling away in her fathers arms.
My granddaughter is my obsession. I love her just as much as I love my own children. She's so fun to hang around with and I love when she comes to Grey House. I can't wait for Maggie and Paul to have a baby, after they're married of course, because I would love more grandchildren. I would have hoped that Phoebe and Matthew would have had another one by now but hopefully they won't leave to big of a gap in between kids. It would be nice for SJ to have a sibling close to her own age.
Just like I thought, Phoebe is a wonderful mother. She balances her career and motherhood perfectly and my granddaughter wants for nothing.
Matthew is also a terrific father. He worships that little girl and he worships my daughter. I may have disliked him, a lot, when I first found out about his relationship with Phoebe but over the years, he's grown on me. Not that I would ever say that. I like to keep him on his toes.
I know that him and Phoebe still practice BDSM but after many many sessions with Flynn, I have come to accept that it's their life and I can't let my jaded views get in their way.
I have never seen my daughter as happy as she has been these last few years and I hope that Maggie and Paul have as good as marriage as Phoebe and Matthew.
I make my way over to him and when SJ sees me she starts holding her hands out for me. Before I take her I look Matthew in the eye and say something I should have said to him years ago.
"You're a good man, Son. A great father and a great husband and I'm glad my daughter found you"
"Thank you, Christian"
I can see that my words have made him emotional so I reach out for my granddaughter and start twirling her around.
About ten minutes later I am joined by my wife and we sandwich SJ between us and slow dance.
"You look extremely happy, Mrs Grey"
"That's because I am, Mr Grey. I have a loving husband. 5 wonderful kids. A perfect granddaughter and a perfect life. It doesn't get much better than this... Well, it will do, but not yet" she smiles
"What do you mean?"
"Well...lets just say that by Christmas, you will have another little bundle of joy to bounce on your knee"
"Really? Phoebes pregnant?" I smile so hard my face hurts.
"It's not Phoebe" She starts biting her lip and looking slightly worried.
"It better not be Katie! I swear to god I'll kill that fuc..."
"Little ears! And no, it's not Katie. It's Maggie"
I feel slightly better but not fully. Thats 2 of my daughters now that have been pregnant on their wedding day!
"It's a good job she is getting married this weekend. Otherwise me and Pauly boy would be having words" I pout and she laughs softly.
"Come on Mr Grey. Let's go put SJ to bed, shes fast asleep"
We walk into the house and put SJ in the nursery that we had converted. I make sure the baby monitor is on and then we walk back outside hand in hand.
I smile when I see all my kids in a little group talking by the dock.
Matthew is swaying softly with Phoebe on his arms.
Maggie and Paul are whispering to each other and sharing a smile.
Teddy is making Blaze laugh about something and Tommy and Katie are trying to get each other in a head lock like the did when they were kids.
I wrap my arms around Anas waist as we watch our children interact.
"Thank you, Anastasia"
"Wht are you thanking me for?"
"For this. For them. For giving me more. I love you so much and our kids and grandkids complete my life. I never thought I could be this happy and yet there are things on the horizon that will make me even happier. It's unbelievable really. Who would have thought all those years ago when you fell into my office that it would lead to all this" I gesture around the back yard and our family.
She Turns in my arms and links her hands behind my head.
"Christian Grey. When I tripped into your office and I looked up into your beautiful grey eyes, I saw this. I saw our future. I saw our kids and I saw our love. We may have had an unconventional start but I would not change a second of it for the world"
"You really do love me, Mrs Grey, Don't you?"
"Yes, I do"
