Chapter 26 Anas fear

ana pov

Since I have known Christian I have been hospitalized twice, both involving Elena Lincoln. I think its time to file restraining orders against her. I am also thinking hes dangerous to my health in regards to my safety. One simple invitation to dinner turned into the dinner from hell. All because of one Mrs Lincoln. I think steering clear of Christian until shes in prison would be for the best.

I know I will see him visiting Mia a lot and will not stop the visits with her and her family. I just have more pressing issues in my life right now. I am trying to get through my law courses and then pass the bar along with growing my company even further. I have put Mia to work writing and editing, so shes doing great in that aspect.

She can't go on book tours so I found a look a like to represent her on the tours. We made sure everyone was aware it was a stand in, but some of her fans thought we were lying. Her stand in looks like she could be her twin. Whats even more incredible is they were born the same day. We all interviewed her and to say they are so much alike its scarey. The hair is longer on Mia, even the kids think shes Mia.

Ethan thinks moving would be best for us right now, he chose a mansion close to Timmys great grandparents. It has 10 bedrooms, a gym, spa and a pool. It comes completely furnished. I just need to let Ana know about our move and soon. The movers have been scheduled and packing has been started. The kids need a huge yard to play in. My family thinks its time for us to move into our own home.

I loved living with Ana, but we want to be on our own with our kids. Ana agreed with me, but left it open if I ever needed to move back.

I asked Ana if she would like to attend a charity event with me and she agreed as long as we have plenty of security. And no Elena this time please. I agree and tell her what time I will pick her up.

Taylor pov

Grey got Ana to agree to attend a charity event with him and needs to triple security and make sure Elena is not in attendance and not invited. He told me that Elena was released on bail yet again. He tells me to dig deeper into how Elena can do all this and walks free every time. Just as we get all the details of the charity event Coping Together held at my parents home. Gail knocks on the door of my office.

Gail pov

I am going about my housekeeping duties while Jason and Mr Grey discuss business matters. Suddenly the phone rings and I pick it up. The security desk is calling about a visitor needing to see Mr Grey on urgent business. I hear a baby crying in the background and ask whos baby is that? Well they tell me its a very personal matter regarding this baby Gail. Okay have them wait I will get Jason to come down now.

Jason and Grey are in the security office watching some videos and then they stop and let me in and I tell them security downstairs has a baby issue concerning Mr Grey.

Cpov

Baby issue? Okay lets see what is going on now Taylor. I haven't had sex, well other than my hand and wet dreams, in about two years. Elena and Leila put me off trusting females for a bit. I just had Leilas body sent out to her parets and paid for all her funeral costs.

We all walk to the elevators, I want Gail there as she has a gentle nuturing nature and will calm a baby down. We arrive and good lord its Elena holding a baby, no wonder its screaming its head off. We all stand there waiting on her explanation. She goes into panic mode and says Leila left her baby with her housekeeper. We all look at her with an and we care why look.

Gail pov

Suddenly the poor waif grabs for me, Grey and Jason nods for me to take her. Elena hands her right over to me. The baby is wet and needs fed and bathed. But she seems content with me playing with my uniform buttons. Elena says finally shes quiet. Her name Christina Grace Williams, Leilas daughter. I have Leilas last will and testament giving Christina to you Christian.

Cpov

Lets take this upstairs and Elena I need to blindfold you so you can't get my codes. Jason takes out his handkerchief and makes sure she can't see anything and then turns her away from the keypad to face the back of the elevator. I dial my dad and ask if he can come to Escala its an emergency. I look at the documents Elena has given to me and then show Taylor. Gail is playing with the baby and the child seems happy now.

Taylor looks at the baby and smiles, he loves his children very much and the new nursery comes in handy for Gail when she is cleaning. Gail is indeed psychic.

Taylorpov

If Grey doesn't want this baby Gail and I will step up and take her. She loves Gail already and looks like Gail loves her. The will gives Grey authorization on whether he wants the baby or designate proper parents for her in her mothers absence or death. Well she can't be much more absent than being dead. I look at the glow on my wifes face, this baby looks almost our sons age. I know Greys not the father, but who is?

We finally make it to the apartment and Gail goes and cleans up the baby. She grabs a bottle of milk and heats it up.

cpov

Elena why did she do this? Is this even legal?

Elena pov

Christian you know her better than I do, I am guessing she figured you would do anything for a helpless baby. Even if its not your child. Her parents wanted nothing to do with the baby, they barely took care of Leila. Christian I have to meet someone and heres the keys to Leilas place and the attorneys number along with her birth certificate. I have her car seat and bag in the car you will need those and car seats look tacky in my car. Can you come get them please.

Cpov

Elena you aren't serious are you? Dumping this baby, oh never mind I forgot who I am talking to. Gail can you watch the sweetie? When dad gets here we will all talk okay?

Gail pov

I tell Christian I will watch Christina until they get back. Jason brings the playpen and our baby to the living room. We let the babies play with one another and Jason gets photos of us all. Jason looks at me and says I know what you are thinking and wanting dear. But remember its all in Greys hands. Let him decide on this one okay. I mean even he saw the love in her eyes for you and you for her.

Cpov

Elena open the damn car, just get the thing out now or take them with you now. We have nothing to say to one another. I see dad walking up and he looks at us. Elena now or never, I can always buy the things the baby needs. I walk away and she finally hands me the car seat and gives dad three big bags of baby things and then me her diaper bag. Then pulls out a stroller.

Dad and I head to the elevator and Elena finally leaves.

Carrick pov

Christian who is the mother of the baby? He says Leila Williams, one of the women involved in the shootout at my club. The one who died at the scene. We arrive to the living room and see a very happy family scène in front of us. He hands me all the paperwork and I read through it all. I explain what Leila wanted and what he can do and what would be ideal for the baby. He looks at Gail and Taylor, he asks me to join him in the office.

Cpov

Dad would you think badly of me if I asked Gail and Jason to adopt her? As soon as she saw Gail she grabbed for her and stopped crying immediately. Dad says no, I believe you would make a great father, but look at that scene and you know they belong together. Have you asked them yet? No hold on I call for Gail and Jason to join us.

Gail pov

I have my helper watch the babies while Jason and I go to Greys office. I think hes going to ask if we want Christina. I hope he does at least. Even though he would make a good father, theres too much history with her mother for him.

Taylor pov

Gail dear do you want the little lady if he asks us to adopt her? She says yes Jason in our hearts shes already ours. Even Christian saw that.

We enter Greys office and he says sit please.

Cpov

Okay I know you both well enough to know you want Christina. I want only the best for any baby and I believe you and Gail are whats best for her at this point and thats all that counts to me. I will be increasing your wages and having another nursery added to your apartment and mine. Gail hire another helper as well. Make the apartment safe for the babies as well. Carrick has documents for you to sign an we all need to get this started and completed quickly. So is your anwer yes?

Gail and Jason are hugging and saying yes and crying. Dad has me sign all the necessary papers and then calls a notary to join us. I ask dad what mom will think about this. He says Christian she loves and trusts you and knows it wasn't an easy decision. She loves Gail and Jason and knows if you chose them then you chose for the baby to be well lived and cared for. Christina might not be your daughter, but you will always be in her life.
