Wow thank you all so much for the reviews. I had a few guest reviews that I had to delete, they were just too rude. I'm sorry if some of you are not liking where I am taking this story. But believe me when I say it'll all work out in the end. Like I said before this is not how I wanted my story to go I wanted it completely different. But it is what it is and so far I am happy with my little twist. I just wanted to mention this chapter is a rewrite, originally I was going to have Ana tell everyone that she was artificially inseminated, but I changed my mind when I was proof reading it just didn't sound real to me and christian was even a bigger ass hole, so I changed it. Hope you like it. Please read and review.
Christian carries me down the stairs through the concourse and out to his car where Taylor is standing there waiting. Christian places me in the car and Grace sits next to me while Taylor and Christian sit in the front seat.
The drive to the hospital was quick and easy. I kept telling everyone I felt much better since I threw up, and insisted that he had to be something I ate that didn't agree with me. But no one seemed to listen to me.
We pulled up to the emergency entrance. Taylor opened my door for me and before Christian could make it to me I got out and acted like I was fine, because really I did start feeling better.
Grace took my hand and walked me over to an empty room and told me to lay down on the table. She did a complete check on me and even had some blood work drawn too. Christian didn't come into the room so he stayed in the waiting room area.
After about two hours of waiting for the blood work Grace comes walking in with a portable sonogram machine. Christian knocks on the door and comes in.
"Is everything ok, did Ana break something? Why does she need an x-ray?" Christian asks not knowing what the sonogram machine really is.
"No" Grace laughs a little "Ana didn't break anything, her blood work has come back and she has high levels of HCG"
"HCG? What was she drugged?" Grace laughs again. But I'm not laughing in fact I'm feeling the urge to puke again.
"HCG Christian is a hormone that women produce while pregnant. It's made up by cells that form the placenta, which nourishes the egg after it has been fertilized and becomes attached to the uterine walls. By the look of these levels I would say Ana is about 7-8 weeks pregnant. But I just want to double check and make sure"
"Wait are you saying Ana's pregnant" His face turns white and he gives this look to his mother like 'what did you just say'
"Yes Christian that is what I'm saying" She turns on the machine and asks me to lift up my shirt. Christian opens the door and storms off.
"Ok let's have a look" she swirls the probe around my stomach and sure enough there it is.
"There it is. See right there" she points "That's the baby. Your just about 7 weeks"
"Would you like a picture to take with you?" Grace asks and I just nod my head, unable to speak.
"Here you are sweetheart, I printed off a couple for you. I am sure you want to give one to the baby's father"
"Why don't you clean yourself up and we'll make an appointment for you to see Dr. Green"
"Ok" I whisper. Grace leaves the room and I wipe up all the remaining gel from my stomach. I fix myself up again and walk out of the room. Grace and Christian are in the waiting room talking to each other. Grace turns her head in my direction and smiles. Christian doesn't look too pleased to see me.
"Ok here is the appointment card for you, you have an appointment with Dr. Green in 2 weeks"
"Thank you Grace. I need to call Jen and see if she can pick me up and take me back to the terminal"
"I don't think that is wise right now, what you need is some rest"
"My mother is right, you should go back to your apartment. I'll call Elliot and have him get your things and make sure he locks up before he leaves"
"Wonderful" Grace says.
"Grace, may I use your phone to call a cab" Just ask she was about to hand me her phone Christian says, "I'll take you home"
"Great I'll just call your father and see if he can pick me up, I'll call you tomorrow Ana and we can do lunch" I smile at her and she hugs me.
I walk to the entrance of the hospital and Taylor is standing outside the car talking to someone on his phone. When Christian comes out Taylor quickly hangs up his phone and opens the door for me. I get into the car and slide over, Christian then gets in and shuts the door.
The ride back to my apartment is quite, I stare of the window the whole time looking up to the stars. Wishing I was anywhere but here in the car with Christian.
"Ma'am we're here"
"Thank you Taylor" I reach for the door handle but Christian grabs my wrists.
"We need to talk" I let go of the handle and turn slightly to look at him.
"Ok" I say slowly "What do you want to talk about?"
"I think it's pretty plain as day what I want to talk about" He says pissed
"Christian I don't know what to tell you. Honestly I didn't know I was pregnant, I got my period for the last two months. But when I got it, it only lasted a few days and was very light, so being pregnant never came to mind"
"Ana I can't do this, I can't be a father. I'm too fucked up to be someone's father, we need to take care of this problem"
"Wait you want me to get rid of it?" he has got to be kidding me right. Not after all I have been through.
"Yes I do, I'll pay for everything"
"You're right Christian, you'll pay alright"
"What is that supposed to mean Ana?"
"It means FUCK YOU" I open the car door and run as fast as I can to my apartment door. Once I am inside I slam the door shut, and lock all the locks. I look out the peep hole and see if Christian even had the balls to come and run after me. But he didn't. How am I going to explain this to everyone? Grace already knows but it's only a matter of time before I start showing soon. Do I tell everyone that it's Christian's? Oh what the fuck am I going to do?
I went into my bedroom and laid down on my bed. I stared up at the ceiling trying to come up with something to tell everyone. I could easily tell everyone that it's Christian's, but that might cause a lot of drama between him and me and not to mention his family, they would all disown him.
Just before I found myself falling to sleep I came up with the perfect little white lie.
The next morning I wake up to my phone ringing, without looking at the phone I answer.
"Hello?"
"Ana it's me, we need to talk about this"
"Christian there is nothing to talk about, just leave me alone" I hang up the phone and throw it across the room. I begin to cry at the thought that he wants me to get rid of this baby. How could he be so heartless? In a way this baby was made out of love at least I thought it was. He told me he loved me, and even though I want to rip his heart out and stomp on it, I still love him.
My phone starts to ring again and I just know its Christian calling back after I hung up on him. I go over to where my phone had landed from when I through it. Again I don't even bother looking at the caller ID I just answer it.
"Christian I told you to leave me the fuck alone"
"Ana?" Oh shit its Grace.
"Grace. Oh god I am so sorry"
"It's ok dear I was just calling to remind you about having lunch with me today"
"Oh Grace I don't know if I can…"
"Ana I have already talked to Mia and she said you don't have anything scheduled until later today" Shit I'm busted.
"Sure Grace, Would you like for me to pick you up or would you like to meet somewhere?"
"How about you meet me at that nice little bistro on Delaware Ave. Say around noon"
"Great I'll see you there Grace" I hang up the phone and sigh. This is going to be harder than I thought. Grace is one of the sweetest persons I know. How am I going to explain to her that I am pregnant with her son's child?
I slowly get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom. I feel so dirty, I don't even think a hot shower will help. But for the sake of not wanting to smell I turn on the hot water and get in.
Once I am showered and freshly shaved legs, I get out the shower and dry myself off. I look at myself in the mirror and I can see my baby bump already starting. Why didn't I notice this before? I go into the bedroom and grab my cell phone and stand back in front of the mirror. I take a few pictures.
After I am dressed, I make sure my bump is not visible. I walk into the kitchen and Jen is standing there with a cup of coffee in her hands slowly sipping it.
"Good morning" she says to me with a smile.
"Morning, what are you up too today?" I ask
"Nothing much. Oh here Ana Elliot dropped these off last night, you left everything at the terminal"
"Thanks. Did he drive my car here too, or is that back at the terminal?" I take my purse from her.
"Nope it's here" she says with a smile and then continues
"So what did they say at the hospital? Were you dehydrated or something" Oh god how I wish that was true right now. But I have to tell her, I have to tell everyone. Sooner or later they are all going to see my bump get bigger and bigger.
"No. actually I'm pregnant" her mouth drops open and her coffee spills out. I give her this shy smile.
"Ana oh my god your pregnant, how the hell did this happen? I mean who….how…oh my god, we're going to have a baby. Its Christian's isn't it. I knew you two rocked the bed while we were in Kentucky" I don't say anything to her I just look down at my twisted fingers that are in my lap.
"Ana what's wrong?" I start to cry.
"He…He doesn't want it. Oh god Jen what am I going to do?"
"What do you mean he doesn't want it?" he says calmly trying to not make me any more upset then I already am.
"He said and I quote 'He can't be a father and that he is too fucked up' I don't know what to do"
"Ana you need to talk to him, you need to let him see this from your point of view. He needs to see how much of a blessing this is to have a baby"
"Yeah well, right now Christian and I aren't on speaking term with each other"
"Oh for heaven's sake, that man needs to grow up and grow a few. Does anyone else know?"
"Just Grace, Christian and now you. But Grace doesn't know its Christian's"
"Are you going to tell her?"
"I don't know"
"Ana it's your choice to tell her or not. Don't let Christian get the best of you" She smiles and walks from behind the breakfast car and walks over to me and pulls me into one of her bear hugs.
"I'm here for you sweetie if you need anything, and I mean anything if you want me there with you when you tell Grace, I'll be there to hold your hand"
"You will?" I ask. Of course she would, she is like a sister to me.
"Of course I would, that's what friends are for Ana" I wipe away my tears and squeeze her hand.
"It would mean a lot to me if you would come with me"
"You got it babe, let me go get dressed and then we can go" She lets go of me and heads into her room. No less than five minutes later she walks out her room with her game face on.
"Ok let's do this thing" I laugh.
I grab my purse and my key's to my car and we walk out of the apartment to my car. I hold open the door and take a deep breath, I can do this, I can do this, I say to myself. Jen looks over to me and winks before getting into the car.
I turn on the car and the radio is blasting. Ugh Elliot no wonder why Kate always bitches that he never hears a word she says, it's because he is deaf.
Less than fifteen minutes later I pull up to the little bistro, Grace's car is right in front of me. She must be inside already. I look over to Jen with a worried look, I don't think I can do this.
"It's going to be ok Ana, you don't have to tell her if you don't want too. I can tell her, and if you still feel uncomfortable about it we don't have to say anything at all"
"I know" I whisper with a sigh.
We both get out of the car at the same time, when I look past Grace's car I see Christian's R8 parked in front of hers. Great I was not expecting Christian to be here as well. This is going to be interesting.
Jen and I walk inside and are greeted by the hostess.
"Good afternoon, table for two?" she asks
"Um no I'm meeting someone here"
"Name?"
"I believe it would be under Grey"
"Ah yes, right this way. Please follow me" she turns on her heel and starts to walk. Jen and I both follow her to the back of the bistro. As Jen and I get closer to the table my heart starts to race and I start to get nervous.
Grace and Christian are talking with each other, I can only imagine what Christian is saying to his mother. If he was start he should be telling her that he is the one that got me pregnant and save me the hassle of telling her, but I have a feeling that's not going to happen.
When we reach the table Christian has a shocked looked on his face when he sees Jen is with me. Both Grace and Christian stand from their seats. Grace comes over and hugs me and kisses me on both my cheeks and does the same to Jen.
"I hope you don't mind that Jen is with me, she was complaining that she was hungry" I lie.
"Not at all, I hope you don't mind that Christian is joining us as well" I shake my head.
"Christian" Jen says with an angry tone in her voice, just enough to let him know that she knows.
"Jennifer" he reply's extending his hand for her to take but she doesn't.
The four of us take out seats and the waitress comes over to take me and Jen's drink order. I order a glass of orange juice while Jen orders a bloody Mary.
"How are you feeling this morning Ana, I know last night was a big surprise for you"
"I'm much better Grace thank you, and yes it was a very big surprise" I glance up looking at Christian for a second and then turned my attention back to Grace.
"So Christian was telling me that next month you're going to start with ghost hunts at the terminal, is that right"
"Uh yeah, we are. It should be very interesting to see how the spirits reacts to outsiders"
"Wonderful, I'm so proud of you Ana, you have really come a long way"
"Thank you Grace, but I couldn't have done it without the help of your son" she smiles at me, and then looks over to Christian with an even bigger smile.
"So are you excited about being a mommy Ana? Oh I can't wait to see this little one, it'll be so nice to have a baby around again. Christian you remember how happy you were when we brought Mia home?"
"I don't know if I would say I am excited, this was kind of unexpected to say the least"
"Well I am sure the father is happy that your pregnant with his baby" I hear Jen laugh to herself, I turn to look at her but her eyes are fixed on Christian giving him a death stare.
"Um…well" I look up and lock eyes with Christian. I don't know what he wants me to say. Does he want me to tell his mother that it's his or does he want me not to say anything at all?
"Anastasia can I talk to you for a moment…..In private" Christian asks. I look at Jen and I give her a worried look. I don't know if I should talk to him.
"Christian why don't you and I have that conversation" She hissed at him.
"Is everything ok?" Grace asks, looking between him and Jen.
"Just fine mother…Jen"
"If you'll excuse us, we'll be right back" Jen informs us before getting up from her seat.
I watch and Jen and Christian walk outside. As soon as the door to the restaurant closes I see hands flying in the air, Jen is yelling at him and Christian is just standing there taking it all in.
JPOV
What the fuck is wrong with you Grey? Why the fuck are you being like this to Ana? Do you understand what she went through five years ago? She lost her child because of that ass hole and there you were last night telling her to get rid of it. What kind of man are you?" I scream at him waving my hands in the air thinking it would get my point across easier.
"You don't understand Jennifer, I'm no good for her, and I'm no good for this baby" He tells me. How can someone think like that?
"What makes you think you would be no good for either of them? Huh Christian tell me?"
"You wouldn't understand"
"Oh yeah try me, because that's my best friend in there and right now she is hurt. That woman sitting over there with your mother is in love with you and I know somewhere deep down inside that little black heart of yours, you're in love with her too"
"I do love her, but it's because I love her I want to stay away. I'll only end up hurting her and the baby"
"You are something else Christian. That is your flesh and blood that is growing inside her. Don't do this to her, don't break her heart like Rick did"
"I just….I can't do this right now" he puts his hands up and walks back inside.
Back to APOV
Christian walks back in, his eyes are glossy as if he is about to cry. My heart aches for him. I know it shouldn't but it does. He reaches the table but he doesn't take his seat.
"Christian is everything ok?" Grace asks looking at him worried.
"No mother everything isn't ok, there is something I need to tell you" he sounds scared.
"Go ahead honey, what is it?" Grace says sounded concern.
"I….I'm…."
"Sweetheart what is it? You can tell me"
"I can't….I'm sorry, I have to go" He quickly kisses his mother on the cheek and then looks at me. I can tell that he is scared.
So did I do good? Please let me know. P.S I'll be work at the terminal tonight for candle light tours. I'm going to try and take some more pictures so that I can add it to the pinterest page. There are so many floors and so many rooms it's insane.
