The chapters will be a bit longer from here on out. Hope you enjoy them.

Ana's –POV

I wake the next morning as Christian isn't in bed, he must have an early meeting at work so he is probably eating breakfast already. The clock shows its 8:15 so I get up and make my way to Teddy's room to get him ready for breakfast.

Once I have Teddy up and fed I make my way to the kitchen where Christian is drinking his coffee already finished with his breakfast I take a seat next to him after setting Teddy in his swing by the breakfast bar. "Morning baby, I have to head out early so I can join you for lunch."… He leans down giving me a kiss and Teddy one on the top of his head. "Ok I will see you then bye Christian."… "Laters Baby."… He heads for the door where Taylor is waiting for him.

Gail enters the kitchen a moment later, "Morning Mrs. Grey would you like breakfast now?"…. "Yes I will just take some granola and yogurt this morning Gail."… She smiles taking the granola out of the cabinet and some yogurt out of the fridge setting them on the counter she gets a bowl out for me placing it in front of me.

"Gail could you watch Teddy for a few hours today, I am having lunch with Rachel at The Mile High Club then I need to go shopping for Christians birthday gifts."… She smiles "Of course Mrs. Grey what time are you leaving?"…. "Around 11:30 that's why I am only having yogurt and granola in case Christian shows up and makes sure I am eating enough."… She giggles, "Yes Mrs. Grey that won't be a problem."

Once my breakfast is finished I go and change for my morning workout with Sawyer, he doubles as my personal trainer. At least it keeps him active since I have been on maternity leave.

I put on my yoga pants a sports bra and tank top along with my running shoes and make my way to the security office where Sawyer is sitting at his desk reading the news paper. He looks up as I enter, "Mrs. Grey"…. "I thought we could get a workout in before I have to leave for lunch."… He stands, "Just give me five minutes."… He heads off towards his room on the other side of the security office.

After we have finished our warm up run I grab the gloves and Sawyer grabs the hand bags. "Alright Mrs. Grey let's continue where we left off last week." He holds up the right bag near his head and the left one by his midsection. I start by throwing a right jab to the bag by his head and then a left near his midsection as he calls out which hand he wants me to throw. We go ten times each switching the position of the bags half way through.

After punches we switch to knees right then left around his midsection which he calls out. Once we have finished the combat sessions I practice my take downs and disarming techniques, although I can't him down as he is over twice my weight and over a foot taller, but at least it helps.

I know not everyone is as big as Sawyer so it helps to practice on someone smaller and for that we have a stationary punching dummy for me to work on as well.

After the take down sessions which I had to target his knees to get him to even budge, we work on abduction defense technique which Sawyer comes up from behind me and picks me up and I have to get him to let go. For this he wears protective padding as most my heal kicks are aimed at his groin, he also wears head gear like a boxer as I have to slam the back of my head into the area around his eyes and nose.

After an hour workout he calls it a day, "I think that's enough for today."…. I nod, "Yeah I need to get cleaned up for my lunch with Rachel."…. I hand him the gloves and head off to shower and change into better attire for the Mile High Club.

Once I am ready I kiss Teddy good bye, "Now you be good for Gail Teddy bear and mommy will be home soon."….. Gail smiles at my instructions for Teddy, "Bye Gail I should be back by 3:00."… "I'm sure we will be just fine Mrs. Grey, enjoy your lunch and have fun shopping."

I head out the door and into the SUV as we pull out and head towards The Mile High Club. As we are traveling I tell Sawyer where I need to go afterwards for Christians birthday gifts and he makes note to call ahead for security issues.

We pull into the parking garage nearest the Club as Sawyer opens my door and Reynolds jumps out the driver side door as we head to The Mile High Club.

As we reach the door Reynolds holds it open for me with Sawyer in front of me, as I enter Reynolds closes the door and follows right behind me. Something is going on usually he would just drop me off with Sawyer and meet us inside.

When we have entered the lobby I search for Rachel spotting her with her CPO, I thought he was only with her when she had Tanner out in public. Something is definitely going on, I smile and make my way towards her.

She smiles as I approach, "Ana how are you?"…. I return her smile, "Good, how are you?"…. "I'm good, since I am returning to work next week I thought we could get lunch since it could be our last for a while. When are you going back to work?... "Soon, I am returning this week for a few meetings then next week I will be going in for a few hours throughout the week."

I look too Sawyer and nod and we make our way to the elevators, "Is this really your first time here?"…. "She nods, "Yes I have always wanted to come here for the view alone and I'm sure the food is outstanding but it's always booked for weeks and with a baby you cant predict days in advance let alone weeks." I laugh, "I understand, I am just getting my social life back."

We exit the elevator and approach the receptionist desk where a young blond with her hair in a ponytail wearing a white button down shirt and a red vest smiles as we approach. "Mrs. Grey welcome back to The Mile High Club your table is ready."… She stands as Rachel glances at me with her eyebrows raised a little.

I just shrug my shoulders as we follow her to our table which is facing the city of Seattle and it's spectacular view. As we take our seats the mat idée hands us each a menu, "Can I get you something to drink Mrs. Grey?"…. I look at Rachel who shrugs her shoulders this time, "A bottle of Bollinger."…. She nods, "Yes Ma'am."…. She heads off as the security team takes a seat to the right of our table.

I look around and sure enough people are staring at us, "Wow Ana this place is amazing."… She shakes her head, "How many times have you been here?"… I laugh, "You would have to ask Christian, he is a member here, probably once a month." She shakes her head as she giggles.

"So what have you been up to this week?"…. She ask as we look over the menu, "Most of the time I spend getting everything ready for Kate's wedding which is next week and after lunch I have to go shopping for Christians birthday gift, his birthday is this Sunday, I had a meeting with the President of Washington State University to set up my scholarship program in English lit, a wedding dress fitting with Kate and Mia, and let's see what else….. Oh I did an interview with Kate for The Seattle Times which will be in Sunday's paper and I am working on a few manuscripts for work."

She just stares at me, "Wow Ana the life of a celebrity.".. She giggles as I join in with her as the waitress brings the Bollinger and champagne flutes and sets them on our table, "Thank you."… Rachel and I say in unison as she pours us each a glass. "Are you ladies ready to order?"…. Rachel looks to me, "We will have oysters to start with, do you like fish Rachel?".. She nods, "Then we will have the sea bass with asparagus sautéed potatoes and a hollandaise sauce."

The waiter takes the menus and leaves us to our drinks, "You know what you what you like here?"…. I smile, "Yes it's a favorite of mine and Christians."…. She nods, "I think he will be joining us soon with your husband, I herd they have a meeting today."

She nods, "Yes Mark had a meeting at Grey House so I figured we could have lunch early why our men talk business.".. I laugh, "I know what you mean, most of Christians business associates wives are in their 40's or 50's, there's not much I have in common with them, maybe their granddaughters."… She giggles, "I know what your talking about it's the same with Mark."

The waitress places our oysters on the table as we both take one with some lemon juice, "The first time I had an oyster was here with Christian."… "Really, Mark and I went to New Orleans for a business trip for a week, they are everywhere down there."

Rachel picks up a second oyster, "Did you enjoy the ball on Saturday?" I ask as she She nods," Yes it was amazing Sarah had a great time also, Mia and her have become friends, I think they are hanging out on Friday."…. I smile "Yeah they are a lot alike both are full of energy."…. She nods, "Did you see The Seattle Times on Sunday?"… "I shake my head, "My dad was in town so I spent the afternoon with him after that I went to Kate's with Mia for dress fittings. I did manage to read the headline though."…. "It was a good article, they talked about how it was the most money the foundation has raised to date, thanks to the star power of you." She giggles causing me to start in.

"Share the joke?"…. I jump as a hand is placed on my shoulder; I look up to see a pair of gray eye's looking down at me. I smile as Christian leans down and kisses me, then he pulls out the chair next to me as the waiter appears placing our sea bass in front of me.

He smiles handing me the fork, "Just in time to watch you eat."… I giggle, "Will you share this with me, you know there is no way I will finish all this food."… He nods looking to Mark who has taken the seat next to Rachel, "Smells good what it is?"… He ask Rachel, "You will have to ask Ana, she ordered it."… Mark looks to me, "Sea bass."…. He nods, "It looks great."… "It is." I say taking a bite.

Christian picks up an oyster squeezing some lemon on it, "I see you had my favorite baby."…. I nod taking another bite of fish as Mark picks up an oyster squirting some lemon on it, "We had these all the time when we were in New Orleans."…..Rachel smiles, "Yeah I told Ana that was my first time trying them, and her first time was here." Mark looks to me, "Really?"… I nod, "Yes, I cooked most my food before I met Christian."

We finish up our lunch as Christian leans over to me, "I have to go baby, we need to head back, but I will see you tonight around 6:00."…. He kisses me as Mark kisses Rachel and stands. "Keep Sawyer and Reynolds close on your shopping trip."…. I smile frustrated because he knows what's going on. "I will, how did you know I was going shopping?"… He smiles, "Sawyer told Taylor, I figure it's to do with Sunday so I will let you off your leash for a bit."… I giggle, "Yes it's birthday gift shopping for you Mr. Grey."

He smiles, "Laters baby."…. "Laters Christian."…. I say as Christian and Mark make their way towards the elevators with the majority of female eye's on our men watching there every step.

"Does that bother you Ana?"…. I turn to Rachel, "Not as much as it use to."… She nods, "Yeah me either."… We finish up our drinks and stand to make our way out with the security team leading the way. As we reach the elevators Rachel turns to me, "Don't we have to pay?"…. I laugh, "I asked Christian the same thing when I first came here, and they send us the bill."… She nods, "That's strange."… I nod.

Once we are back in the lobby I turn to Rachel, "Enjoy the rest of your time off work, maybe we can meet up after all the wedding chaos dies down."... She nods, "Yeah I know you will be busy leading up to the wedding so give me a call whenever you can."

Back in the SUV Reynolds pulls out into traffic as Sawyer turns in his seat, "Where to Mrs. Grey?"….. "I need to go to Neimans and the hobby shop we went to a few weeks ago, they e-mailed me about my gift I just need to go and pick it up."….. He nods, "We will head to Neimans first."

We pull into Neimans parking lot as Sawyer opens my door and we head into the store making our way to the men's department.

I head to the cologne section of the store where a man in his 30's wearing a gray suite greats me, "Welcome to Neimans Ms. How can is help you?" He looks from me to the security team not sure who to address.

I look over the selections, "Yes I need to get four bottles of Bleu De Channel body wash for men."…. He smiles, "Excellent choice Ma'am this is our best selling body wash at the moment." He turns around and leans down opening the cabinet and pulls out four boxes that contain the body wash and places them on the counter. "They are for my husband for his birthday, I absolutely love the fragrance."

He rings up my purchase, "That will be $172.89." I hand him my credit card as he finishes the purchase handing me my card back and placing the body wash in a Neimans bag, "Thank you for shopping at Neimans enjoy your afternoon." I take the bag and hand it to Sawyer as we make our way to the exit.

Next we are off to the hobby shop for my surprise gift for Christian, "Let's go to the hobby shop Sawyer, I want to get Christians surprise."... He smiles as Reynolds pulls out into traffic, "Yes Ma'am."

We pull up to the Hobby Lobby hobby shop, I came in here over a month ago looking for this gift. They didn't have it but they found one in California and had it shipped here. We enter the shop where there is one other customer looking at planes Chad takes notice of me and smiles, "Mrs. Grey I have your order in the back, I will just go and get it."

I am so excited I break out in a beaming smile as Sawyer gives me a weird look, "What, I'm excited."…. He smiles, "I can tell Mrs. Grey, but at least wait until you see it to make sure it matches."….He is right I actually found one that was very nice, it was just the wrong color so I ended up bringing in the picture and told him the color I needed.

Chad returns carrying a large box but it has no picture on the side I can just see the name on it. I break out in a huge grin as he sets the box on the counter and turns the box so I can see the photo, and there it is, EC 135 Euro Copter. "Charlie Tango" I say as I touch the picture with my fingers it's perfect, well it will be when Taylor brings the GEH stickers home for me.

Now I am practically jumping up and down in the store as Chad gives me a strange look making Sawyer actually laugh, "She's a little excited, that's all."…. Chad smiles, "I can tell." I stop jumping, "You have no idea how long I have been looking for this exact color I found one that was a perfect match but the color was wrong and that was in France, I am so glad I found your shop."…. He laughs, "I'm glad you did as well Mrs. Grey."

"I want everything he will need to assemble it."… He nods as he rings it up $135.00 not bad Christian will love it, he can put it on his desk with the glider I gave him last year.

We make our way out of the store as Reynolds holds the door with Sawyer carrying my gift we make our way to the SUV Reynolds opens the back hatch and places the helicopter in the back and gets my door for me.

I look at Sawyer"Call Taylor and tell him I need those decals for Charlie Tango, one GEH and one Grey Enterprises Holdings Inc. and do not tell Christian."… "Yes Ma'am." He pulls out his phone and starts pressing letters, ten minutes later he shows me his phone as we pull through the gates and head up the path.

-Tell Mrs. G they will be ready tomorrow-

I smile thank you Sawyer, this will be perfect."… I lean back and enjoy the ride up to the house.

We pull to a stop at the house and Sawyer climbs out to open my door while Reynolds get the gifts out of the back hatch as we make our way to the front door. Once inside I head off to my office, "Could you bring Charlie Tango to my study"

I head into my office placing the body wash in a side drawer and look for a spot for the helicopter, "Could you place it on my desk and see if we have any wrapping paper, never mind I need to talk to Gail anyway."…. He nods, "Will there be anything else Mrs. Grey?"…. I shake my head, "No I'm all done for now, thank you Reynolds." He exits my office as I head to Teddy's room to check on him.

After I have Teddy up from his nap I make my way to the kitchen where Gail is cleaning the counter with the baby monitor next to her, "Hi Gail."…. I say taking a seat at the breakfast bar. She smiles, "Hello Mrs. Grey how was lunch and shopping?"…. I smile, "It was great, I had a nice time with Rachel, then Christian and Rachel's husband Mark were able to join us for the main course, then I went shopping for Christian and I found it Gail, I found Charlie Tango."

She smiles, "That's great Mrs. Grey, I know Mr. Grey will love it just like the glider you gave him last year."…. My smile dips and Gail has taken notice, "That was the past Mrs. Grey you are married now and I have never seen him happier in all the time I have worked for him.

I sigh, "I know Gail, it was a hard time for both of us, that's why I got him this so I can be with him when he builds it this time" She nods, "Did you need wrapping paper?"… I nod, "That's what I came in here to ask you about, do we have any?"

She nods, "Yes I'll go and get it."… She heads off to the storage closet and returns a few minutes later with a dark blue and silver wrapping paper that she hands me along with some tape. "Thanks, now I need to get them done before Christian gets home."

I have the gifts wrapped and are sitting on my desk, everything is set for Christian's birthday on Sunday I just have to get the all clear from Dr. Green tomorrow. I really hope so; I don't think I can hold out much longer.

Once I have put away the gifts I pull out a manuscript for my meeting at work tomorrow since I have two meetings with the authors for final run through before we send them off for print. I also have a meeting on Monday with a new author that Hannah is excited about.

Looking at my watch it's almost 6:00 Christian will be home soon meaning that dinner will be ready which is good since I have worked up quite and appetite from my shopping, playing with Teddy and wrapping the gifts.

I finish up the manuscript as Christian enters my study, "Hey baby dinner will be ready in 10 Minutes."…. I look up from my notes, "Alright, I want to feed Teddy first then I will eat."

He nods, "I'm going to get a quick workout in and a shower.".. He makes his way towards me as I stand he wraps me in his arms and kisses me as the baby monitor goes off, "I think our son is ready for his dinner now Mrs. Grey."…. I nod, "I was just about to go and get him."… He kisses me once more and I make my way to our sons room.

Around 45 Min later I make my way to the kitchen as Christian and Taylor come from the home gym all sweaty with a smile on his face as he sees me, "I'm going to shower then we can eat Mrs. Grey."…. I nod, "I will just get Teddy in his chair then I am ready to eat."

We are sitting at the breakfast bar having just finished dinner when Christian ask about Kate's wedding, "I have everything ready for the most part, I mailed out the invitations for the bachelor parties."….. "Are you working tomorrow?"…. "Yes I have two meetings with authors and one on Monday, and then I have a meeting with a potential new author that Hannah really likes."

He sighs, "Just don't over do it Ana, we talked about this I don't want you taking on too much too soon."…. "Christian I will be fine, since I am returning to work after Kate and Elliot's wedding anyway."…. He smiles, "I know baby just take it easy."

I see we need a new subject to discuss so I bring up his meeting with Mark Kenner, "How was your meeting with Mark?"… He nods, "It was good, we are meeting next week to go over some final numbers and costs, if we all agree then we will finalize the deal next month."

I smile, "That's good, I'm glad it will work out, so does that mean the shipyard will stay open then?"… He nods, "Yes it looks like we should be good with the cost we save on importing the steel and the taxes. We just have to make sure they can provide the raw materials and were good to go."

Christian stands, "I have to call Ros and go over some budgets and costs I will only be a couple of hours."… I nod, "I have some work I need to get done for my meeting tomorrow and I have to call Kate."

I grab my phone and get Teddy out of his swing making my way to my office I head over to the crib and place Teddy down in it giving him his teddy bear and rabbit. I take a seat and scroll through my phone locating Kate's number and press call.

She answers on the second ring, "Hello Ana what's up?"… "Hi Kate, just wanted to let you know I sent the wedding invitations out and the bachelor invites out with locations for the guest." …. "That is almost it then, just the final seating arrangements other than that everything else is all set."…. "We have rehearsal Thursday afternoon then we have the bachelor parties on Friday night, Saturday night is the big day."…. "Can't wait, the people should be here on Wednesday to set up the tents and tables around 2:00."… "Ok I will be there, I will talk to you soon Ana."… "Ok bye Kate."…. I hang up and get back to work on my last manuscript for my meeting on Monday.

I have put Teddy to bed and am climbing into bed when Christian enters, "All set for bed baby?"…. I sigh, "Yes can I ask you something?"….. He makes his way to the bathroom to get ready for bed, "You know you can ask me anything Ana."…. I climb out of bed and make my way into the bathroom where Christian is brushing his teeth. "Something has happened right?"…. He looks at me with a worried expression, "Why do you ask that?"…. He rinses his mouth out and takes a cup of mouth wash.

I think about this for a moment, "Well before when I left the house Sawyer and Melissa were with me but the last few times I left the house I've had Sawyer and Ryan or Reynolds with me."… He chuckles, "Perceptive aren't you Mrs. Grey."…. "Yes you know I am, please Christian what's going on?"…. He takes me in his arms and kisses the top of my head, "It's just a precaution with the wedding coming up and with the interview set to come out on Sunday I want to be prepared for any additional media attention."…. I know that's not it so I try again, "So there hasn't been another threat?"… He looks unsure for a second and I know that is why Ryan and Reynolds have switched up with Melissa.

He kisses me again, "Don't worry about it Ana please, I want you to enjoy your best friends wedding and your last week off work."….. He takes my hand and leads me to the bed as he pulls the covers back and we climb into bed, "Was there another threat against Kate?"…. He runs his hands through his hair, "Yes, not really a threat but more photos of her entering work and a coffee shop, but please Ana don't worry about it the security team is on it."

He pulls me into his arms and I snuggle into his chest, a place I love so much as he kisses the top of my head, "I wont let anything happen to you Ana."….. "I know Christian and I will follow instructions but some things just can't be avoided."… "I know, get some sleep, you have a busy day tomorrow."…. And I fall fast asleep in his arms.
