Ana's POV

Present Time

Oh that smells good! I am quite proud with this chocolate cake. I hope it lighten up Christian's sour mood.

"Mrs. Jones, where is Anastasia?" I hear Christian ask as he enters the kitchen.

As if in slow motion his eyes dart from Gail, to Baby Lucy, to me and then back to Lucy.

Oh sweet Lucy, I think she felt overwhelmed with Christian's stare so she screamed bloody murder. I faintly hear Gail say "Oh dear" when I decided to take Lucy from her arms and rock her back and forth.

I look at three set of eyes that belongs to three huge men watching in bewilderment. If I wasn't so desperate to calm Lucy down I would laugh at their spooked faces. Come on guys, it's just a baby.

Unfortunately for all of us, I'm still unable to stop Lucy from crying so I choose to pull out the big guns and sing her a lullaby.

Hush, little baby, don't say a word. Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing, Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass, Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke, Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull, Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turn over, Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover

And if that dog named Rover won't bark, Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart fall down, You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

I let out a deep breath when Lucy's cries turn into sobs until she finally settles on my chest, her small mouth sucking her tiny hand. I kiss her forehead and continue to soothe her back. She looks up at me, smiles and then goes to kiss my lips. That's it I lose it. I held Lucy tighter and cry.

"Annie" I hear Luke gently say in my ear. He takes Lucy from me and hands her to Gail. He then goes to hug me and if possible, I cry even harder.

I don't know what happened after that because the next thing I know is I'm in the sofa still in Luke's arms. I look across me and see Christian deep in thought. When he sees I'm in better mood he starts,

"Anastasia" his gray eyes boring into mine but then shakes his head and smiles, "Can we eat that chocolate cake now?"

He looks so adorable I can't help giggle. The atmosphere seems to brighten after that and we all walk towards the dining table where Gail is slicing the chocolate cake.

"Aren't you going to eat dinner first?" I ask.

"Well, I'd love to taste this chocolate cake first" he says looking shy "It's my favorite."

"Oh okay then, help yourself. Let me go check on Lucy. Where is she?" I look around and see my Uncle carrying her. When she sees me however, her little arms points at me and I need to tell myself not to cry again.

"Hey there little one, do you also want chocolate cake?" I coo.

"Umm, Anastasia, you and Lucy can join me" Christian offers nervously.

I sit down and set Lucy on my lap. Gail brings baby food and I began feeding Lucy. Christian is looking at us in wonder and when he realized I caught him, he starts digging in his cake.

"Do you like it?" I inquire

"Are you kidding? This is the best chocolate cake I ever tasted. I mean, no offense to Gail but this is beyond delicious" Christian grins.

"Well I'm glad you like it Sir" I quip but he grimaces.

"Ana, please don't call me Sir. In fact, don't EVER call me Sir. Just Christian" he suggests and I nod remembering he told me his subs used to refer to him as Master or Sir.

"Alright Christian, now tell me, where have you been?"

"I went to your father's firing range and then he invited me over to your house. We drank a little," he says while his left hand's index finger and thumb demonstrate the amount of liquid they consumed.

"Well that's cool but why did you ignore me earlier?" I question with raised eyebrows and I think I see him blush.

"I, umm, I was just not in the mood to sail anymore" he answers while running his fingers through his hair - a mannerism I notice he does every time he is frustrated or doesn't know what to say.

"Relax Christian. You know what, forget it" I tell him and continue feeding Lucy until she decides she also wants a chocolate cake. She tries to climb the table and her left hand manages to reach Christian's cake. She points her now chocolate-coated finger at him as if wanting to feed him. Her eyes start to water when Christian just stared at her for the second time today. All of a sudden, Christian leans over and licks her fingers making Lucy burst into fits of giggle. Christian's face breaks into a huge grin and goes to softly pinch Lucy's chubby cheeks.

"Aren't you a cute little thing" he muses. I then notice that it is just the three of us in the dining room. Where did everyone go?

"Can I hold her?" Christian requests pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Sure, here support her back" I instruct him and it takes some time before he got used to holding Lucy. Thank goodness Lucy is a good sport.

"There you go" I nudge his shoulder and give him thumbs up. All is going well and we moved to the great room. Christian is playing with Lucy on the floor when Lucy let out some gas.

"What the fuck is that smell?" Christian growls startling Lucy.

"Shhh Christian, you are scaring the baby. Her diaper is probably full. Let's go change her" I pick up Lucy and head for the staff quarters when Christian motions to his room instead.

It takes me a moment to look around Christian's room before I enter. It has been a while since I've been here and I blush at the memory.

"Ooops, I left her bag in the great room, can you please get a diaper and some wipes? I'll bring her to the bathroom" I say as I began stripping Lucy from her clothes.

Christian appears with the necessities minutes later and we started changing the diapers of a fussing Lucy.

"Holy shit! How such tiny creature let out so many… shit!" He curses and I laugh at him.

"With all due respect Mr. Grey, you can't cuss around a baby like a sailor. Second, I'm not sure, this is the first time I'm doing this" I respond trying to contain more laughter.

Christian zones out for a second before muttering "Really? You are so good to her. You'll be a great mother"

"Thank you" I try to keep my emotions in check and focus in the task at hand.

Once we're done I give Lucy to Christian and start cleaning the mess we have made in his bathroom. When I got everything back in order, I went to his room and was blown away with what I saw. Christian is blowing raspberries on Lucy's stomach making her giggle non-stop. I lean in the bathroom door and watch the beautiful scene in front of me.

"Ana?" Christian called out and I am faced with his concerned expression.

"Sorry" I shrug sitting on his bed and proceed to tickle Lucy. Christian is looking at me and I can feel he wants to ask something. I hope I am ready to answer whatever it is. Out of the blue his hand lands on my hair and starts stroking it.

"Anastasia, I'm sorry you have to change your hair because of me" he whispers sincerely.

My eyes find his and I barely notice his face inching dangerously closer to mine. The world seems to stop around us and I feel my eyes close. As I feel a soft skin on my lips I open my eyes and see a small head between me and Christian. His eyes are wide open and he blinks a couple of times before both of us burst into laughter. Well, at least it wasn't that awkward. I can't believe we almost kissed! Good thing Lucy moved blocking our lips that landed on her face instead. Whew!

"Maybe we should go back to the great room?" Christian suggests and I couldn't agree more. We didn't talk about our almost kiss or my hair again. Instead, I watch as Christian plays peek-a-boo with Lucy, chuckling every now and then with his silly expressions. In that moment, I felt slightly jealous of the woman he will end up with. He'll be an amazing husband and father.

"Look Ana!" Christian calls out and I see him making weird dance moves holding Lucy's arms trying to make her dance with him.

"Boss?" I hear Ros' voice behind me. Christian stops swaying and we both look at Ros and Gwen. They gape at Christian while Uncle Jason and Luke are trying so hard to stop themselves from laughing.

Christian is frozen in his spot and I pity him for a second but finally let out a giggle. He shoots me a look but eventually snorts and passes Lucy to me.

Back to his cool and collected self as if nothing happened, he greets the Baileys then excuses himself.

"What the fuck was that?" Ros jeers, amusement written all over her face.

"Well that was Mr. Grey babysitting your daughter. Anyway, I thought you guys have an overnight catching up to do. Is everything alright?" I ask.

"Oh, Gwen here wanted to kiss our daughter goodnight so we decided to drop by after dinner before checking in the hotel…" Ros pauses when she sees Christian come out of his study. We all stand still as he head to his bedroom after murmuring goodnight.

"Fucking kill me now! This is weird and all but the boss got some moves eh?" Ros tries to discreetly tell us.

"I heard that Rosalie" Christian shouts and the rest of us laugh.

Boy was this an interesting night!
