Ok just a quick message to the guest who left a review about me abandoning this story because I started a new one. Umm I don't know if you have noticed but I do update this story very often. Yes since I started a new story and I haven't been updating this story as quickly as I used too but I still update. The only reason why 'A Rose in Bloom gets updated every day or every other day is because I have written so much of it that I am able too. This story and all my other ones are very close to my heart and I will not give up on them. It might take me a while to post but I will not abandon them. Just please be patient with me.
"Christian what are you talking about?"
"What I'm saying is after this week is up, what is going to happen between us?"
"What do you mean what's going to happen to us, we're still going to be us Christian. Maybe I'm having a blonde moment but I don't understand what you're getting at?"
"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST" He runs his hands through his hair and pulls at it.
"GOD DAMNIT ANA. I love you, I have always fucking loved you. I want us to be together. I want you to be the first person I see when I wake up in the morning and the last person I see before I go to bed. When our baby cries in the middle of the night I don't want you to have to do it alone? I want those sleepless nights to be spent together. Not you half way across town alone with no one to help you"
"Christian I told you, you can come and see the baby whenever you want. I would never keep the baby from you"
"You're still not getting it Ana"
"What am I not getting Christian please tell me"
"I want you to be my wife. I want you to marry me. I want us to be husband and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Christian Grey. Do you get it now?"
"I….I don't know what to say Christian"
"Just say yes Ana"
"I-I can't"
"Why? Why can't you say yes?"
"Because I just don't know if I can right now"
"I thought you loved me"
"I do. I do love you Christian"
"Then what is it. What is it that is keeping you from saying yes? I want this Ana. I want this more than anything in the world"
"I just need time Christian. I told you this before, I need time"
"How much time?"
"I don't know" I look up at him. He looks so hurt. I try to reach for him but he pulls away. He gets off the bed and gathers his clothes that were on the floor and quickly puts them on. He takes one finally look at me and walks out the bedroom.
"Shit" I lay down on the bed on my back and run my hands over my face. "Shit, shit, shit" What the fuck is wrong with me? Maybe it's because I'm afraid something is going to go wrong it always does just when things start to become perfect again.
I have to fix this, I have to talk to Christian. I need to make this right. I hurry and get myself out of bed. I go to Christian's dresser and take out one of his shirts and put it on. I run out of his bedroom and go straight to his study, when I open the door I see that he isn't in there. I go to room to room to room and still no Christian. I run back upstairs to the bedroom and send him a text.
Please I'm sorry. Where are you? –Ana
I send the text and sit on the bed and wait. Five minutes go by and nothing. Ten minutes go by and nothing. So I decided to send him another text.
Please Christian answer me. –Ana
Again I sit and wait and get no reply from him. I know that if I sent him a text saying that there was something wrong with the baby his ass would text me back but I couldn't do that. I have a soul.
Christian I'm worried about you, please come back. I love you. I'm sorry –Ana
Another fifteen minutes go by and I still get nothing. This is driving me crazy, I can already feel my blood pressure rising. I get out of bed once again and go right to Gail and Taylor's apartment door. I knock as hard as I could. I know someone is there. Gail answers the door.
"Ana is everything all right, what's wrong? Is it the baby? Oh god. Taylor!" She questions and then screams for Taylor. Wait you mean he isn't with Christian. Oh this is just great, my stress level just went from worried to full on panic mood.
Taylor comes to the door wearing his pajamas.
"Ana what's the matter is everything alright?"
"No everything is not all right. Christian and I….we had a little disagreement and he left. I don't know where he is, he isn't returning my texts. I was wondering if he had told you where he had went."
"No he didn't. I didn't even know he left. Ryan is on duty tonight" H steps out the doorway and into the hallway. We walked into the great room and into the security office where Ryan is sitting looking very nervous about something.
"Ryan where is Mr. Grey?"
"I-I don't know. He didn't tell me when he left. He just said too keep an eye out for Miss Steele and that if she needed anything to get it for her"
"Try his cell phone" Taylor ordered him. Ryan picks up the phone on the desk and I watch as he dials his number. It must have either went to voicemail or Christian ignored the call because he quickly hung up.
"It went right to voice mail" Ryan tells us.
"Shit! He must have turned his cell phone off. We can't track him unless the phone is on" Taylor said.
"What about his car? Isn't there a tracker in that?" I ask
"Ryan pull up the tracker on Mr. Grey's car" He types in a few things on the computer and the screen opens showing that Christian's car is still parked in the garage here at Escala.
"Fuck!" Taylor hisses out. Then turns to me.
"Ana I'm sorry"
"Ryan can you do me a favor and call all the Grey's and see if they have heard from him or seen him within the last hour?"
"Yes ma'am" I walk out of the security office with Taylor. He walks me to the couch and offers me to take a seat.
"Taylor I know it's not your place, but would you mind getting me a cup of tea I'm sorry to feel a little sick"
"Not at all, just try to relax, I'll be right back with your tea" Five minutes later Taylor comes back with my cup of tea.
"Thank you Taylor" He takes a seat next to me on the couch.
"Ana if you don't mind me asking what was the disagreement about?"
"He had asked me to marry him" I look over to Taylor and start to cry.
"He…wanted…me…to…be…his…wife" I sob. Taylor inches himself closer to me and puts his hand on my back and begins to rub it softly.
"He told me he wanted me to be Mrs. Christian Grey. But I told him I still needed time" My crying has now went from gentle sobs to a full on mess.
"He wants the three of us to become a family"
"Ana if I can speak freely as a friend" I nod my head
"Mr. Grey loves you. I mean really fucking loves you. There isn't anything in this world that that man wouldn't do for you. Shit, I'm sure if he could move heaven and earth for you he would. I know that Mr. Grey has done some fucked up shit in the past and I wasn't too pleased after what I heard him ask you to do when he found out you were pregnant. But I know that Mr. Grey regrets ever saying those words to you and I'm sure if he could take them back he would" He stops and lets out a sigh before he continues.
"You need to understand everything he has been through in his life. As you know his childhood wasn't the best, fuck no child should have went through that kind of bull shit. But he was saved by Mrs. Grey. But as you know as he got older he had to deal with even more problems. And because of that well you know what he got into. Ana I'm not telling you to say yes to his proposal but maybe you should at least give him a chance" He puts his right arm around me and gives me a gentle squeeze.
"Thank you Taylor. Gail is really lucky to have someone like you"
"You're welcome Ana. It'll all work out in the end. That little baby growing inside you is lucky to have parents like you and Mr. Grey"
Just before I had a chance to say thank you to Taylor Ryan walked into the great room. Taylor stood up and looked at Ryan.
"Well?" Taylor asked
"Sir I called all the Grey's and no one has seen or heard from him all day" Ryan informs us.
"Taylor where would he have went? He didn't take his car and his cell phone isn't on. What if he doesn't come back? What if something happened to him? It'll be all my fault if he gets hurt" I'm so worried right now, this is all my fault. What if something happened to him? What if someone tried to mug him? He could be laying in a dich somewhere hurt and cold.
Taylor picks up his phone and dials a number. Within seconds Gail comes rushing out of their apartment and over to my side. This is too much for me to handle right now. I'm starting to hyperventilate, I can't breathe. Oh god no, I'm starting to see spots flash in front of my eyes. I can feel my knees start to shakes and before I know it I'm down on the ground while everything slowly fades to black.

"Taylor" I hear Gail scream. I look over to her and she is on the floor with Ana in her arms trying to wake her but she is out cold.
"Ryan get a group men out on the streets now and find Grey. I have no clue where Grey is but we need to find him now. Where's Sawyer?"
"Sawyer is on his way. He should be here any second" Just then I hear the elevator ping and Sawyer steps out.
"Taylor what's going on? I got a call from Ryan saying that shit hit the fan"
"It did. Grey is missing and Ana passed out. I need you to call Dr. Grey and get her over here as soon as possible to check on Ana" Fuck this isn't want I needed on my night off.
Sawyer goes into the security room and calls Grace, when he is finished he comes back into the great room.
"Is she coming?"
"Yeah she said she'll be here soon. What about Ana? She can't just lay on the floor like thank"
"Help me get her to Grey's room"
Sawyer picks up Ana in his arms and carries her up the stairs to Grey's bedroom. He lays her down on the bed carefully. I tell Gail to grab the blood pressure cup from the security off. There is no doubt in my mind that Ana's blood pressure is through the roof right now, and that could very well be the reason why she passed out. I know I should be old there with the guys right now but right now my main concern is Ana and little Grey.
Gail comes rushing in with the blood pressure cup and I put it around her arm and begin to pump. When I am finished her blood pressure is 180/135. Fuck! Grace better get here soon or I'm going to end up calling for an ambulance.
Thankfully we only had to wait about five minutes before Dr. Grey showed up with her bag in tow.
"Taylor what happened?"
"She started breathing very fast, then her eyes began to blink fast as well like she was trying to focus on something. And before I knew it I saw her start to go down and then I grabbed her going down with her so she wouldn't fall on her stomach and hurt the baby" Gail says for me. Which is good because she saw the whole thing while I was busy with Ryan and Sawyer.
"I checked her blood pressure not to long ago and it was 180/135" I tell her and her eyes nearly pop out of her head.
"Call an ambulance now. Tell them she's 16 weeks pregnant"
"On it" I dial 911 telling them we have a 16 weeks pregnant woman who is unconscious whose blood pressure is 180 over 135. They told me they are sending an ambulance right away and should be here shortly. I ring down to the front desk alerting them of the situation.
When the EMT arrive I have the follow me into Mr. Grey's bedroom where Ana is still unconscious. Grace hasn't left her side yet. The EMT look her over checking her blood pressure, testing her sugar since Grace had mentioned it to them.
"Taylor I'm going with Ana in the ambulance, if you could please call my house and let Carrick know and have him meet me there within the hour"
"Yes ma'am"
They put Ana on the stretcher and Grace and Gail both follow behind them. Shit where the fuck is Grey. I watch as they all pile into the elevator. Gail looks so worried and Grace…well Grace looks like she is ready to rip her sons head off if she ever sees him again. The elevator doors close and I am left standing in the middle of the great room with my hands in my hair ready to kill Mr. Grey when I see him.

I'm in the ambulance sitting next to Ana. Gail is next to me holding my hand for moral support. God she looks so pale, she isn't responding to anything that the EMT is doing.
"Gail what happened?"
"I don't know the whole story, I didn't see anything but I heard Ana and Jason talking earlier and Ana had mentioned something about Mr. Grey asking Ana to marry her. She told him she needed more time and I guess he just left. No one knows where he went. His cell phone is off and he didn't take his car so Taylor isn't able to track him"
"Oh dear god" I swear to god when I find my son I am going to rip him to pieces. I know I told him that he needed to prove to Ana that he loves her but I didn't tell him to propose to her. Not right away at least. He needs to give her time.
When we arrive at the hospital I am the first one to get out of the ambulance, I run into the hospital quickly and inform them on what is going on. Even though I'm on staff here as a pediatrician. I know it'll be hard for me to get an answer on her condition unless I was family. So I quickly told them that she is my daughter in law and that my son makes several donations to them yearly.
I was asked to wait in the waiting room until they got her situated in a room and on monitors. Gail came in to the waiting room after she made a phone call to Jadon asking him if they have heard from anyone the whereabouts of Christian. She looks at me with a sadden face and I already know the answer is no.
"How is she?" Gail asks as she takes the seat next to me.
"I don't know they haven't come out yet to get me" Another five minutes of waiting Dr. Mitchell comes into the waiting room.
"Grace"
"How is she?" I ask
"She's fine, we gave her some medication to bring her blood pressure down. We had the on call OB/GYN come down from labor and delivery to give her a once over and everything seems fine with the baby. The vitals are good the heartbeat is where it needs to be. She still isn't a wake yet but she has been mumbling in her sleep"
"When can I see her? I don't want her to wake up and not have anyone in the room with her"
"Follow me and I'll take you to her" Both Gail and I stand. Gail tells me she'll be in in a few minutes she is going to give Taylor an update on Ana and see if they have located Christian. I give her a hug thanking her dearly for all that she has done.
I follow Dr. Mitchell to ER room 6. He opens the door and I see Ana lying there on the bed. Her color has come back and she looks more comfortable. I grab the chair that is near the window and bring it over to the bed. I sit down and reach over and take her hand and place it into mine. Poor sweet girl has gone through so much in her life.
