Chapter 36:
Three Months Later...
I waddle up to Kate's apartment. This
Pregnancy thing is really starting to get on my tits. I can't walk like a human anymore. Kate opens the door and sighs. "Still no baby huh?" I look at her.
"No I gave birth I just thought I'd leave him there while I have a catch up with you." Kate looks at me confused. "Of course there's still no fucking baby." Kate raises her eyebrows at me.
"Ahh you're in the moody phase. I tell you when I was at that stage Elliot-"
"-Yeah that's a great story Kate could you tell it to me while you help me in?" She chuckles and rolls her eyes, taking my arm and helping me in. "Where are the guys?"
"Their out with Ava. They wanted to have guy time." I roll my eyes and sit on the sofa, shifting around trying to get comfortable.
"Good. If Mr No Uterus was here right now I'd rip his head off for putting me through this misery. Stupid sexpertise." Kate laughs and brings me a glass of water. I take a gulp and we start talking over a plate of cookies. When Christian and Elliot come home he glares at me. "Something to say, rich boy?" He sighs, walking forward and sitting next to me.
"You shouldn't be eating cookies Ana." I glare at him and he backs away. "You should be eating as many as you like. I love you." He kisses my cheek.
"Ugh, don't touch me I'm all sweaty. I'm so hot, why is it so hot?" Elliot walks in with Ava and kisses Kate.
"Because Kate's in the room." She smiles lovingly up at him.
"That's very touching Elliot but can you go turn down the heating?" He looks at Christian and smirks, nodding and walking out the room. "Oh my god. I have never been so uncomfortable in my life." Christian moves closer and wraps his arm around me. I look at him and glare. "We are never having sex again." The panic I see in his eyes is enough to make me laugh out loud. "Ok I'm kidding." He smiles and leans over to kiss me, I hold his face and push him away. "No kisses until this baby is out of me." Elliot laughs.
"Good luck bro." Christian pouts and runs his hand over my stomach, stroking lightly. We stay for another few hours before its time to leave. When we get back to Escala I go and sit down immediately. "God!" I shout. Christian comes running in.
"What's the matter baby?" I look up and huff.
"I just want to have this baby. Im miserable. It's two days after my due date, how can this be?" Christian gives me a sad smile and sits down.
"If you want we can go to Dr Greene and ask her what we can do to speed up the process?" I smile at him and hold his face.
"I knew I was marrying you for a reason." He smiles and helps me up and outside again then we get into the car and make our way to Dr Greene.
"Well there are some ways to get the labour going. Spicy foods, long walks, herbal teas and the best one known to help. Sex." I look up at Christian. Ever since the baby started really moving and he couldn't kiss me without bumping into my stomach he got kind of freaked out.
"Come on Christian." I say, he looks down at me and sighs.
"I um, I don't think I can. I mean I want to but, no I can't." I prop myself up on my elbows and look at him confused.
"Why not?" He looks embarrassed and, is that a blush I see on Mr Grey's face?
"Well the baby, and I'm, my.." He can't find the words so I just laugh.
"You think you'll poke our baby with your dick?" He nods, avoiding eye contact with me. "Christian you won't it's fine.
"But, I'm bigger than average size and I don't want to hurt him." I roll my eyes.
"You sure think a lot of yourself." He hits my arm lightly and I giggle. "The baby will be fine Christian but I won't be if you don't hurry up." He smiles and goes to thrust into me but stops.
"I can't."
"For fuck sake Christian just fuck me." He sits up and gets off me.
"Well now you killed it." I roll my eyes and turn away from him. We both burst out into fits of giggles. This is gonna be a long few weeks.
"No, Ana I can't." I roll my eyes again.
"Christian you won't hurt the baby!" I turn to Dr Greene. "Will he poke the baby if he has sex with me? Baring in mind that he is bigger than average size." He gasps and looks at me shocked.
"Anastasia!" I smirk and Dr Greene tries not to smile.
"No. It's not possible, because the baby is protected behind the rigid cervix, uterus, and amniotic fluid. The penis fits below all of that so there is no way you could 'poke' the baby." She says, trying not to laugh. I look up at Christian who is staring at me in shock from what I said.
"There? That enough proof? Thank you Dr Greene, we'll do all of that." She smiles at us and helps Christian with lifting me off the bed and onto the floor. When we're out and walking back home with Taylor following beside us Christian turns to me.
"Do you tell everyone about my dick size? First Kate, now our doctor?" I smile up at him and he just looks bewildered.
"Let the Kate thing go. She only told Elliot, it's not like she told your parents." His eyes widen.
"She told my brother that I had a big dick?" I nod and laugh at his facial expression. "Is that why he kept looking at me weirdly at dinner a few weeks ago?" I nod again and he shakes his head. "You are ridiculous, you know that?"
"Absolutely." He entwines his fingers with mine as we walk.
"Christian please. Have sex with me and the baby will come." He looks conflicted. "Come on, I'm miserable. We've tried spicy foods, the tea, everything! I don't feel anything! Please?" I carefully straddle him and kiss his neck.
"You know, this would be a lot sexier if you weren't nine months pregnant." I giggle and kiss him. He rolls his eyes and nods. "Fine." I unbutton his pants and lower myself into him.
"I missed this." I say and he moans.
"Me too." I keep going and when we're both getting ready to finish there's a sound and suddenly I'm all wet. Wetter than before anyway.
"Oh my god. I think that was my waters breaking." We both look at each other for a bit before I get off him and we both stand up. "Ok. Help me change, you change, then we'll go to the hospital." Christian nods and helps me change. Once he's changed we go to the elevator.
"You ready?" I nod.
"Yeah. We're gonna have a baby." He kisses me passionately.
"I love you." I smile.
"I love you too."
"Always." We say at the same time, before making our way to the hospital.
"Thirty two hours, you're a hero." Dr Greene says, coming in to check me. Another wave of excruciating pain comes over me and I cry out, gripping onto Christian's hand with all my strength.
"Please, you have to do something. I need this baby out of me." I sob and Christian wipes my forehead.
"Don't worry baby, it'll be over soon." Dr Greene finishes examining me and stands up.
"Eight centimetres dilated. Not long now." I lean back and close my eyes.
"Christian." He leans in closer and I look up at him. "I hate you." He smiles and kisses my forehead. Grace walks in next and I smile weakly.
"Oh, Ana. How are you darling?" I shake my head and my face screws up as another contraction comes.
"Fine and dandy Grace. Tickety boo." I say, holding my thumb up after the contraction passes. "I'm having a blast honestly." Grace just smiles and looks at Christian.
"How are you holding up?" He frowns.
"Mom, Ana's the one giving birth." Grace chuckles.
"I know. But you're about to be a father. Aren't you excited?" Christian looks down at me lovingly.
"Ecstatic." He leans down and kisses me. Grace looks like she could cry.
"Ok. Well, I'll leave you to it. Good luck Ana." I say thank you and Christian sits down and we talk in between contractions. Dr Greene comes back in a couple of hours later and checks me.
"Ok. Ten centimetres. Time for you to have a baby." Christian and I look at each other in shock. "Legs up. Christian you hold one. Ana the next contraction you're going to push ok. You'll feel it coming." Just like that I feel another contraction and I start to push. It lasts for twenty seconds or so and I'm exhausted after the first one. "That was really good Ana. Ok, I need a bigger push coming up now." I lean forward and push again, holding Christian hand for dear life as he encourages me. I flop back again and Dr Greene smiles. "This is really good Ana. We're almost crowning." The next few pushes send the babies head forward and Christian looks down.
"Holy shit. That's gross." I glare at him and he gets back to me. "Come on baby you can do it." I push again and Dr Greene nods.
"We've nearly got the head out. I need one more big push Ana. Put everything you have into it." The next one comes and I push. "Ana you'll have to do better than that he isn't moving." I shake my head.
"No, I can't. I can't. Christian you push for me." He smiles through his tears.
"I wish I could baby. Come on, you can do this. One more push." I get all the energy I can and lean forward one last time, pushing as hard as I can with the little energy I have left. I hear a soft cry from below me and Dr Greene shows me my little boy. I start crying and I hear Christian sob beside me.
"He's born. We have a son, Ana we have our baby." He kneels beside me and we both can't stop crying. Dr Greene comes back and gives me the baby.
"Hi baby boy. Hey. I'm your mama. Yes." He opens his eyes and looks up at me with beautiful blue eyes.
"He has your eyes." Christian says, stroking his head softly. "Thank you Ana. I love you so much." I look up at him with tears in my eyes.
"I love you too." He leans down and kisses me and we both look down at our baby again. Dr Greene walks over to us.
"Do we have a name?" We both nod.
"Theodore Raymond Grey." Christian grins wildly and kisses my hair. She nods and goes to write it down. I look down at our baby boy and think about how far we've come. Two years ago Christian was my teacher that I had a crush on. Now we're getting married and we have a baby. A beautiful baby boy. It's funny how a life can turn out. And I am so thankful for the way mine did. I love my family more than anyone could ever know, and we'll be happy for the rest of our lives. Me, Christian and Teddy.
A/N - Hi guys! I felt a bit emotional while writing this chapter but I'm a sap and I always cry when babies are born.
So I want you guys to tell me what you want to see for the last chapter because I'm stumped. I'm writing this story for you so tell me how you want to see it end. I loved this story, and it's gonna be sad to part with it. Thank you all so much :)
