I DO NOT own the characters or the books, this is just a FanFiction.
A/N: I know this isn't the best written chapter but I wanted to give everyone a quick update to say thank you for all the reviews. They really motivate me and I am thankful for every one. I know there are probably many errors.
I bite down on my lip and look over to my right. Both Christian and Taylor look deep in thought. Christian's hair is as ruffled as before but with a curtain zing into it now. A zing of aggravation most likely.
"I think I know who that man is..." I murmur. Both heads dart towards me and I can feel my face become red. Christian eyes bore into me as I know something he doesn't. I can hear an argument later coming from this.
"When we were at the dock there was a man that fit that description who was looking towards me. Almost studying me."
"Ana," Here it comes. Thermonuclear Fifty," Why the fuck didn't you tell me this?!" he sounds exasperated. He walks around in his spot for a moment and turns back to me. His brows are frowned. It's like were back in the car again.
"Christian I'm sorry but if I told you every person that looked at me, you'd be constantly busy. And anyways I thought he just wanted ..." I nod my head three times to him to convey what I mean. He raises an eyebrow and his lips twitch into a smirk.
"Hmmm? What exactly is," He nods three times and tilts his head. Taylor fiddles with a pen as if he cannot here us. I know other wise.
"Fuck Christian you know!" I place my hands on my hips and tap my foot. He's doing this on purpose I know it.
"No I don't. Please enlighten me."
I sigh, we can't be playing games like this right now. "Inmypanties."
"Hm?" Oh for fucks sake!
Just say it Ana!
"In... my... panties. Did you get that?" He grins and nods his head. My face feels like it's burning a thousand degrees. I know Taylor has heard it before but never out of my mouth. I don't know what's the difference though, the man has brought me panties before in the past...including Christians' favorite lacy blue thong...
How embarrassing! I cringe at the thought.
"Might be best if we were to go back on the boat Taylor." Christian says.
"Sir I think it will be best if you two check into a hotel. If he knows you're here he will know that The Grace is gone. I think that the break in had something to do with him."
Christian nods and runs a hand through his hair, "How did he find us?"
"We don't know sir." Taylor says uncomfortably. I know he does not like not knowing things.
"Well find out would you."
"Of course sir."
We both leave and head the bedroom to get our bags, I slip the pregnancy test in my handbag and shove everything else in the rest. Christian stacks up the two large suitcases and wheels them out of the room.
We make sure we have everything and leave.
Christian and I arrive at the hotel thirty minutes later. We've decided it would be best to stay downtown as it is far away from where we were. Christian as always has rented us a room too big for us. It reminds me of the one we stayed in when Leila broke into Escala.
We've both have changed into our pajamas and settled into bed. I haven't realized how tired I was until my head hit the pillow...
I awake to a beam of light coming through the tall glass window. My eyes are foggy and I look over to see Christian is already up and out of bed. I look over to the alarm clock and see that it's noon. My eyes flutter alertly and I jump out of bed as a wave a nausea comes over me. I throw up and then take a shower.
On my way out I see my purse and remember the test. It would probably be a good time to take it now, after all the results will be no different.
I place a towel around myself and sit down on the toilet lid and open my purse. My eyes look stunned as I see that it isn't there. I rumble around the contents and raise an eyebrow. I know for a fact that I put it there last night.
I leave the bathroom and am confronted by Christian who is sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Morning." I say.
"Hello." he replies casually.
I sigh and take out a t shirt and jeans. I get dressed and walk back over to Christian who hasn't moved.
"When were you planing on telling me?"
"Tell you what?"
"You know what Anastasia." He grits his teeth. He reaches into his pocket and takes out the box with the test in it. "Hm?"
"What...what were you doing in my purse Christian? That is mine not yours." I retort back and take the test. He lets me take it and I look down at the package. Results in five minutes is says.
"Are you?" He asks. He looks up to me with a blank expression.
"I think I am. I've have some symptoms. I've been having morning sickness and eating more lately and gaining weight in the process."
He smiles and that and then frowns, "Ana, I'm not ready. It's not the best time you know and I was hoping to have a better house and everything fin-"
I sit beside him and rest my head on his shoulders, "There's never a good time Christian. We have been talking about it for a while, I know I was feeling like this a few days after we were apart so there's a chance that we will be. But Christian you will make a wonderful father, is that what you're afraid of?"
He sighs and I know I'm right, "Christian you are great with Kate's and Eliot's son and daughter. Why would you think you couldn't be ok with your own?"
"Because It's different. Eliot is different, he's not me and his kinds don't have my blood. I know where I come from Ana, I know what I'm like. If our child was to be like me... I couldn't bare to watch him or her grow up and do what I do. I don't want that."
I rub his shoulders, "Christian, you had a bad start. And then Elena came into it and threw you into the BDSM lifestyle. You were not born that way and neither will our child. Look," I giggle, "we don't even know I'm pregnant yet. Let's just do the test and find out okay?"
He nods.
"How many minutes left?"
"Christian I just did the test, it's still five... well four and a half now."
One minute...
Christian has moved from the edge of the bath tub to the floor. I remain on the toilet seat holding the test in my hands.
Christian is looking nervous as he fumbles with his ring. I brush off imaginary dust from my jeans.
Two minutes...
Christian is now pacing back and forth with his hands on his head.
I have moved down to his spot on the floor.
Three minutes...
Christian has taken the battery out of his phone and placed it back in - about four times already.
I've made my way back into the bedroom and sit on the edge.
Four minutes...
Christian is flopped down on his stomach on the bed.
I'm fumbling with the a loose strand on my purse.
Five minutes...
The beeper on the test goes off and Christian and I look towards each other. We make our way to the bathroom and Christian sweaty hand takes mine. I place a kiss on his cheek and we both look down at the test.
"Ready?" I ask and he doesn't answer. I click the button and read the tiny digital print that reads...
Yes.
A/N: I know little of this chapter has to do with the main story but I really wanted to write about Ana's pregnancy. I felt that I needed to write this now so I would be able to put it to the side and move back onto the main story again. I've been waiting ages to write this chapter!
Some of you might be thinking that Christian's reaction was a lot calmer but remember this is set 5 years into the future and Christian has had time to think about having kids. He has even mentioned it on the boat when he suggested buying a new house.
I will try an update again this week. I am wondering though if you would prefer smaller and more frequent updates, or should I keep it the way it is?
