A/N:

Ok, I know the last chapter was actually the first where I signed my name, lol. I did sign it to my other story that I have, namely because that I wrote it with my phone like a long text message and it was my signature. It was a one shot story, but I like my name at the end when I reread it the other day, and would like to do the same to this story.

I have gotten a few reviews and new followers thru the night, thank you for that! I will respond shortly, as I don't get much time on the computer anymore and I would really like to get this next chapter out.

Chapter 25

CHRISTIAN'S POV:

It wasn't long after Ana fell asleep crying in my arms that we landed in Seattle. I kept her close to me, not letting her go. I carried her still sleeping body into the waiting SUV as we landed, and sat in the back just cradling her. Her face is a bit puffy and red still from crying, and I want nothing more than to see her smile again, to hear that sweet giggle that has become my favorite sound. It has been awhile since I've had my wife in my arms, and she's never leaving again. Even if it means I have to hire armies of security, I will do it for her, for my family.

I want so badly for her to wake again, so I can talk with her. I'm sure she still thinks everyone is dead… it'll be a shock for her to know that we are all ok, even Teddy. I want to ease her troubled mind, to help her into healing. I can see that she is broken inside, and I want to be the one to help mend. I didn't even realize how long it was sitting here holding my wife until I noticed we pulled into the garage of Escala. I want to bring her here instead of our house on the sound; the family is still here waiting, while the whole "headquarters" has moved to Grey House. They are still working at all the other connections that we have and I know for sure Taylor will take care of what needs to be done. I just want to keep my family safe, and if it means we are locked away in my tower in the sky then so be it.

Upon parking I looked into Ana's face to see if there was any sign of her waking. I would like to walk her thru the door, but her peaceful face tells me that I will need to carry her up. We are in the elevator, just her and I, and I can feel the electricity that only Ana gives me. What is it about elevators? I look down and can tell that she is feeling the same that I am, because her beautiful eyes start to flutter open and look up at me.

"It's true," she gasped out, shock playing on her face. I couldn't do anything but smile, my love is awake, and she is talking to me. She is starting to believe that I am really holding her, it's not a dream. I leaned in close and placed a chaste kiss on her forehead while she watched my every move. I am filled with such happiness and joy right now, that I can't keep it contained. The wide ass smile on my face tells it all. I'm still holding her, not letting her down, and she is still staring at me, with a small smile playing on her lips. I don't know what is going thru her mind, but I know it will be overloaded in just a moment.

The elevator stopped at my penthouse and I waited for the doors to open. I walked into the foyer, still carrying my wife who keeps staring at me, and was met by my brother walking in. He gave a loud gasp and stopped in his tracks, and started to smile big with joy. "Nice to have ya back little lady," he said and it made Ana turn her head. She still had the same look on her face, not sure what to really take in her mind I guess, and she smiled and said quietly, "Good to be back." Then she turned her gaze back at me, "And thank you for coming for me."

I couldn't help my cheesy smile when I responded to her, "You know I would travel the world to find you, you're not leaving me that easily." I could see the hint of a blush travel up her cheeks as she smiled. I set her down on her feet, waiting for her to get her balance, but still holding onto her. I'm not letting go. She still holds onto me, as if I'll disappear if she let go. I move her into the great room where I know most of everyone would be with my brother in tow. She's looking around, looking like she's in a dream state until she sees my parents and sister on the couch. Ana stopped dead in her tracks and just open mouth stared ahead. All of a sudden she fell to her knees and started to cry.

I could see my mother and Mia coming over to her, bending to her level as I was, and we tried to comfort my wife.

ANA'S POV:

I had the sweetest and strange dream, my knight in shining armor has come to rescue me and take me home. Wow, I must have been alone too long to dream up something that felt so realistic. I can feel my body being carried, but my mind won't cooperate, it has shut off for the moment, not allowing my body to respond to my surroundings. It wasn't until I felt the electricity, the same I feel with Christian that I fluttered my eyes open. What I saw shocked me; I don't think I was dreaming! This is really Christian, here with me, holding me, and to confirm that he is real I felt his kiss on my forehead, in only the way he does. I felt myself smile a little, starting to feel some hope and joy. I won't let my other thoughts cloud my mind right now, because what is in front of me is true.

I hear the familiar ping of the elevator; I know I didn't imagine that. I can feel Christian carrying me thru the foyer, and I heard a gasp off to the side. I looked over to Elliot with a big smile on his face, I couldn't help but return. He welcomed me back, and I told him I was glad to be back. And I really hope I am back, and not just dreaming. I looked back at Christian, and I wanted to thank him for rescuing me, and his response made me blush a bit. I can feel my blush, and I can feel him, so this must be real!

I was set down on my feet, but I can still feel that Christian is holding onto me. I suppose he doesn't want me to get unsteady on my feet, but right now I'm glad to be walking… it's a reminder to me that I'm not dreaming. Christian walked me thru the place, and I looked around, wide-eyed and shocked still that this is true. As we went into the great room I looked to group of people staring our way from the couches and I gasped loudly. Is that Grace? Mia? I heard the shots, I heard their lifeless bodies hit the floor, yet here they are, sitting in front of me staring in shock to see me, as I am them. I felt my knees give way and I fell to the floor, crying into my hands. This is too much! This can't be real, can it? I felt Christian kneel down with me, enveloping me with his arms as I continued to cry. Then I felt Grace's soft hands cupping my face as she lifted my gaze to hers. With tears in her eyes and a smile on her face she whispered, "You're home, baby, you're home." That was all it took for me to dive into her arms with Mia beside us and I cry even harder.

We sat there I don't know for how long until we parted wiping our faces. I can't believe that they are here, and they are alive. If this is a dream I don't want to wake up! All four of us are on the floor just looking at each other, with tears still streaming down every cheek when I noticed Kate coming closer. She had a big smile on her face and was holding something in her arms. Could it be? No, it can't. But I know we will have to find him, we must! But as she got closer I could hear the sounds coming from the blanket and she bent down so I could see inside.

There inside the bundled up blanket was a small baby with soft copper curls covering his head, the cutest little nose I ever seen and bright blue eyes just opening up. I looked into those eyes shocked, thinking I would never see them again. He just stared at me and I thought I saw a small smile play upon his lips, but my eyes are blurry with the new fresh tears that are starting up. This is my baby boy, my Teddy. I reached out eagerly for my son, and held him close and just continued to cry, but this time for joy. I can feel how big my smile is now, I am truly happy with this dream. But it feels so real. I'm never letting him go, never letting Christian go. He sat upon the floor and lifted me to his lap, still holding onto Teddy and we sat there the three of us cuddled together and shedding happy tears.

I don't ever want to wake up!

? POV:

I'm just waiting for a call from a friend that I have working with Christian Grey, she is suppose to let me know when he is ready to look for a nanny. She has my resume already at the top of the list, so there will be no doubt I will get the position when it opens. I'm more than willing to do so, take care of the baby while Christian is heart broken over his wife, then he will notice how much I look like her, and he will fall in love with me as I am already with him. I went thru hell to look the part, and I'm sure it will be worth every penny I spent. I don't know when he will start looking, but a very busy man with a company to run and a baby to raise will need some help. I came up with the plan to get closer, instead of selling off the baby to the market like that idiot Tom was working along with wanted; I ransomed him to get the money we would have gotten on the market so I have a reason to get inside. It's our secret that we kept from Hyde, we made him believe that his part worked out the way he planned. He should be far away by now with that woman that it's about time for our next phase of our plan.

I have a made up footage that Tom and Mike helped me with that will show Christian that it is believed that his wife is dead. I don't need him to continue hope of finding her if I want him to fall in love with me. She needs to be dead to him. I understand that he will mourn for a bit, but I will be there to pick up the pieces, and he will be thankful to me. I can't wait for this wonderful plan to continue!
