Ana's POV

It has been a busy week for me. First, I have finally given my resignation letter to my boss, and later that night, my friend, Clara and my other colleagues took me out for dinner(well of course with Sawyer and a few men). The next day, I pick Teddy up from my dad, saying that he might go back to Montesano after we're gone. Teddy and I started packing Wednesday night and on the same night, Christian visited us so that we could also discuss as to what will happen on Friday.

And now here I am, dressing Teddy for a dinner with the Greys.

"Ready?" Christian asks as he put his jacket on.

"Yup." I say as I finish putting Teddy's shoes on.


We finally arrive at a diner like place, not too far from our place. Ted yelped with excitement, I took him here just twice and he loved the mini meals they offer for kids. But what I can't fathom is the fact that the Greys are here and will be eating here in this kind of place.

Christian seems to have detected what I was thinking. "They asked me what Teddy's favorite place is."

I smile at him, "But how did you know about this place? That this is his favorite?"

"Let's just say I got a little help from your dad."

We got off from the car and as we walk towards the entrance doors, I observed that there were no other people inside except for a few staff and Christian's family.

Mia's the first one to greet us as she has been practically waiting at the door. All of them bent down as Teddy waves to all of them but he eventually turns to his dad, tugs on his shirt, begging to be carried.

Then, I felt a pang in my heart and shame had taken over me as all eyes turn to me. For a moment I thought about just kneeling in front of them for forgiveness but suddenly, Mia pulls out a warm smile at me and launched for a huge and tight embrace.

"I hate you and I love you for saving my life." Mia whispers on my ear.

As we pull out of the embrace, and whilst I hug everyone, all I can say was the word 'sorry' as tears carefully stream down my face.

"Mommy?" teddy says as I pull out my last hug with Grace. He then turn to Christian and say, "daddy, mommy cwying."

I can't help but smile at my son's concern. I find my way towards them and carefully place a kiss on my boy's forehead, and after that, I let out a smile, "Mommy is just very happy Teddy."

Our sweet moment seemed to touch everyone else, for when I turn to look at them, all eyes seems to have shed a few tears.

"Okay, "Grace clapped her hands, "let's skip the drama now, I bet my grandson is already hungry."

And right then we started dinner.


Christian's POV

Teddy wiggles out of me when he saw Mia and my mother bringing out huge boxes of gifts. At the sight of it, I also realized how Ana would be mad because I didn't tell my parents about giving too much gifts for Ted.

My thoughts flew away when my father comes up beside me. "Can we talk for a minute son?"

Carrick leads me on the other side of the room, away from the joyful picture of my family.

"Please hear me out son, "Carrick starts, "I know that you were overjoyed when you finally saw Ana after years and years of searching for her. I know that you, of course, felt this huge pull when you saw Theodore and Ana."

I don't like where this is going.

"Didn't you ever doubt Teddy's sudden existence? Have you thought about a paternity test?"

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.

Why would he say that? I glare at him, "what?! Of course not, I—" but he cuts me off and pats me on my shoulders, "no, no, no, let me finish."

"You see, you were very right not to doubt him."

I soften a little as he smiles while watching Teddy play with Mia.

"Well first, that would just make Ana mad. Second, that kid looks so much like you, well of course with a bit of Ana."

I let out a small smile as I watch my father adore Ted. As he launches a story about my childhood, my heart seems to be drowning with happiness as I finally see my family finally agreeing with our situation, it is as if everything is at place amidst the danger that surfaces us. I shake myself out of the thought as my father finally turns to me.

"You'll be a great dad too son, I can see it."

"Thank you." I simply reply.

"No," Carrick shakes his head, "I should be the one thanking you for finally giving me a grandchild."

We both laugh as we return to the happy bubble of the rest of my family.
