I am so glad that so many of you enjoy this story. I hope you all enjoy this chapter and please do not forget to leave a review. Thanks!
It has been two weeks since the "food fight" at the Grey's. Christian has been as attentive to my needs as ever. He even surprised me one night with a tub of Ben & Jerry's. Of course, the ice-cream wasn't just for me; he did lick some off of my body just as he did before we were married. I have spoken to Kate multiple times since the infamous night. She has had her implants removed, is recovering nicely, and she is blissfully happy with Elliot. Carrick has been in touch with me several times since then also. He is absolutely horrified that he hurt my feelings so deeply and does not believe me when I tell him he is forgiven. I'm just so happy to know that he does not believe me to be a gold-digger.
Even though today is a Saturday, Christian is stuck in his study working on some major deal. He was supposed to come shopping with me today for some maternity clothes. But, since he is so busy, I have asked Mia to come with me instead. The plan is to hit a few different maternity stores. I definitely will be spending lots of Christian's money today. I cannot fit into any of my bras anymore and I figure while I'm out shopping I may as well buy some shorts, pants, shirts, dresses, and work clothes. This bump is only going to get bigger, not smaller.
Our first stop is A Pea in the Pod. Both Sawyer and Taylor are with us today and they look completely out of their league when the first items on display in the store are nursing bras. Mia and I share a giggle at their expense.
Before we even realize it, we have spent almost 3 hours at this store. I have chosen a whole new wardrobe it seems. I almost die when I check out and it amounts to over four thousand dollars. Christian is always begging me to spend "our" money, but it makes me feel so uncomfortable.
After Sawyer and Taylor haul my purchases back to the SUV, Mia and I head to a little café for lunch. Before the waitress can bring us our orders, my phone starts ringing with "Your Love is King".
"Hi, my sexy baby da…"
"Are fucking stupid, Ana?" Christian screeches over the phone.
"What do you mean?" I am taken aback by his anger.
"It's all over the damn internet that you are shopping at a maternity store." His voice bellows over the phone.
"Stop yelling at me Christian. I told you I was going shopping because my clothes do not fit anymore." I try to keep my voice down, but he is pissing me off.
"I didn't know you were going to a fucking maternity store." He growls at me.
"Well I am pregnant Christian. Where do you think pregnant people shop?" I hiss.
"Congratulations Mrs. Grey! Now the whole fucking world knows you are pregnant". He snaps at me again. I am getting real tired of his attitude. Things can never remain peaceful for long with Christian Grey as your husband.
"Are you ashamed of me being pregnant?" I whisper my fears. Mia gasps loudly across from me while Sawyer and Taylor both grimace from the next table over. Of course, my husband does not pick up on the hurt in my voice.
"Don't fucking start that shit, Ana. I've got to do damage control now." His voice booms through the receiver. "I expect you home within the hour."
Before I can respond, I realize that he has hung up on me. Both Sawyer and Taylor's phones buzz simultaneously; no doubt from my husband with instructions to bring me home immediately. Well he can go fuck himself. These damn pregnancy hormones have my emotions all over the place. Not only am I pissed but I'm also hurt that Christian does not want anyone to know about the pregnancy. I notice that at some point during my conversation with Christian our food arrived. I watch Mia eat her Greek salad with gusto. I glance down at my own salad and realize that I have completely lost my appetite.
"Mia, when you are finished eating, I would like to go back to the store we just left."
Mia bounces up and down in her seat. "I love shopping and spending Christian's money." She giggles.
"I'm not going to do anymore shopping, Mia. I want to return all the clothes I just bought." I state and she stops her bouncing immediately.
"But, Ana, that doesn't make any sense." She watches me closely. "Just because my brother is mad doesn't mean you should do something irrational. You still need clothes to wear."
"I know it is irrational and makes no sense whatsoever. But, dammit, I'm pissed and we are going back to that damn store and returning everything." Mia just blinks at me after my tirade.
Taylor clears his throat at the table next to us. "Mrs. Grey, excuse me, but Mr. Grey wants us to return home immediately." He at least has the gall to look apologetic.
"You can come with me or you can stay here. But, one way or another, I am getting back to that store and I will be returning those purchases." I hiss and glare at both of the giant men sitting next to me.
"Yes ma'am". He begrudgingly agrees.
After returning everything, we finally make our way to Christian's parents' house to drop off Mia. But I decide that instead of going home to face my husband, I plan on hanging out with Mia. Grace and Carrick are not home this evening as they are at a fundraiser. Even though it is chilly outside, Mia wants to go swimming.
"My nipples are going to freeze off, Mia." I exclaim. She throws me one of her teeny tiny bikinis and laughs at me.
"The pool is heated, Ana. Duh!"
While putting on Mia's miniscule black bikini, I hear my phone ringing. I just ignore it. I know it's Christian from the ringtone, but I do not want to talk to him right now. He calls four more times before I make my way downstairs to join Mia in the pool. I look absolutely ridiculous in this bikini with my belly. I look like a bloated cow. But it is so peaceful and relaxing to be swimming with Mia, just enjoying some girl time.
"Mia, do you mind if I talk to my wife alone." His voice startles me and I almost fall off the raft I have been floating on. Standing, not ten feet away from me, is my sexy as sin husband. He may be sexy, but he can also be very vexing. Mia gives me a nervous glance before getting out of the pool and running towards the house.
Christian watches me closely for a few minutes before finally breaking the silence.
"I'm sorry that I was so rude to you on the phone and for yelling at you." He stops and waits for my response, but I give none. "I didn't want everyone to know that you are pregnant because I hate to think how demanding the paparazzi will become towards you if they found out."
I've never consider this the reason for Christian being so angry that I was spotted at a maternity store. I watch as Christian puts his hands in his pockets and adjust what seems to be a rapidly growing erection. I smirk as I look down my body and realize I must be quite a sight in this little bathing suit floating around on a raft. Christian slowly begins to relax his posture when he realizes I am struggling to hold in my laughter.
"Mrs. Grey, your tits bounce when you laugh and it is very distracting." He states, while his eyes are glued to my chest. Before, I can let him get too distracted, I feel like we need to clear the air about today.
"I didn't understand why you were so angry today Christian. All I wanted was to go shopping and get some clothes that actually fit." I sigh loudly.
"I know Baby. I shouldn't have yelled at you, but if you let me join you, I promise to make it up to you." I slowly lick my lips and nod. Christian discards his clothing and quickly jumps into the heated water. He wades over to where I'm floating on the raft. "So, you think I'm a sexy baby daddy?" He gives me that shy, seductive smile.
"You are my sexy baby daddy and don't you forget it either." His eyes roam down my scantily clad body. I wrap my arms around my middle.
"Don't hide from me. You are beautiful." He whispers.
"I look like a fat cow." I grumble. Christian pulls my hands away from covering myself. "This tiny bathing suit isn't making things any better either."
"You are right about that. I want to fuck you so bad." He runs his hand up the inside of my leg. "I almost came in my pants when I walked up and saw you lounging in this tiny little thing." He stops at the edge of the bikini bottoms and pulls them away from my skin. A finger slips underneath, causing me to moan loudly.
"You are the sexiest woman alive and knowing that my child is growing in your belly keeps me hard twenty-four seven." He grabs my hand and places it on his erection under the water. I slide off the raft and attack my husband; my arms wrap around his neck and legs around his waist, bringing our most sensitive parts together.
"Baby, if you don't want me to fuck you right here, right now, you need to tell me." He mumbles through our heated kisses.
I bite his ear. "Fuck me!" No more words were needed. I feel my back hit against the side of the pool and my bottoms pushed to the side. Before I could take another breath, Christian enters me, hard. Within minutes, we both panted out our release. Christian carries me out of the pool and dries me off quickly before towelling himself off. He quickly gets dressed and we walk to the house to say our goodbyes to Mia.
As we were walking out of the doors, Christian turns back around. "Oh, Mia!" He shouts. "Ana's keeping the bikini. I'll buy you another one." He grins at me. "Got something to say Mrs. Grey?"
I shake my head in the negative.
"Good, because I think this is my favorite bikini ever." He leans down and licks behind my ear. "You are one sexy mama." Then he slaps me on my ass before leading me out to his waiting car.
Exhaustion hits once we arrive at Escala. Christian carries me to the elevator and all the way until we reach the penthouse. He must know that I did not finish my lunch as he tells me he will heat some macaroni and cheese for me. He asks me to go change into something more comfortable and I am more than happy to oblige. Walking into our bedroom, I stop in my tracks.
"Christian!" I scream. I can hear his footsteps running towards me.
"What's the matter?" He questions as he nears where I am standing, inside our bedroom.
Tears are running down my cheeks and I am having trouble catching my breath. "You…you…did you…" I cannot get the words out. I turn into Christian and cry into his chest.
"Baby, why are you crying?" Christian asks, with confusion lacing his voice.
"Did you do this?" I question.
"Yes."
"But why?" I question further.
"Because I'm an arse." He chuckles. I stare deeply into his beautiful, soulful eyes. Scattered around the foot of the bed and the rest of our bedroom is all the clothes I had purchased and then returned after our little spat today.
"But, you are my arse." I stand on my toes to reach his lips and whisper against his mouth. "You are my loving, thoughtful, dear arse." I place my lips to his and we share a most tender kiss.
"Now hop on the bed while I get our dinner." I jump up on the bed and squeal as my delightful husband gives another slap to my bottom. Christian soon returns with our macaroni and cheese and climbs onto our bed with his iPad. "Let's watch the news." I happily agree and dig into my dinner.
This is Marni Hughes with your Q13 Fox News this evening. We begin with a joyous occasion. Earlier today Mrs. Anastasia Grey, wife of the Christian Grey, was spotted shopping with his sister at a maternity store on Pine Street. Speculation soon emerged as to whether a mini-Grey would make his or her presence in the near future. Well wait no further, Seattle, as we have the information you want directly from the source.
Christian Grey contacted us shortly after news broke of his wife shopping for maternity clothes. Without further ado, this is our phone conversation.
"Mr. Grey, thanks for calling us. Let's get straight to the point; will there be a little Grey in the next few months?"
"Ms. Hughes, thank you for taking the time to talk to me. I am extremely pleased to announce that this summer my wife and I are expecting the arrival of our son or daughter. We could not be more excited."
"Mr. Grey, do you know if it is a boy or a girl yet?
"No we do not know the sex of the baby."
"Can you tell us when Mrs. Grey is due and whether you two will find out the sex of the baby?"
"All I will say is that Ana is due sometime this summer. We are both very excited and cannot wait to meet our baby. Thank you, Ms. Hughes for taking my call."
Well there you have it, Seattle, from the man himself. I think it is safe to say that "Baby Grey Watch" has begun.
