E L James owns everything

As always all mistakes are my own

CPOV

Three days I've been here when I should be back in Seattle with Ana and our little one.

The two security guards were thankfully not hurt too badly apart from cuts and bruises and a broken arm. We have gotten off easily. A part of the arm of the crane had broken off and fell to the ground, it hadn't hit them directly but the building they were in had suffered a lot of damage. If it had happened during the day there could have been a lot more casualty's. They will be compensated for their injuries and everyone will be paid fully until the yard is back open.

The cranes were old and were due to be replaced next month anyway but were checked over once we took over the yard and were told they were sound and were still able to be used. I wanted them up to the standard we had at my shipyard in Seattle.

The damaged crane and also the building are in the process of being completely dismantled and I want the new ones to be be put in place before any other work continues so until then the yard will be shut.

They were already en route from the US by ship in pieces before this happened and will be assembled when they arrive.

I have been waiting for the health and safety people to finish their investigation, once its been completed and we know what we are dealing with I will be leaving everything with Marco and I can get back to Seattle.

I was relieved when Ana said she had gone to stay with Elliot, I know she had security around at all times, but they were there to protect her not entertain her.

Ana told me she was going to The Space Needle with Elliot and Kate, I wasn't too happy about it at first as Elliot said they would be staying in apart from Sunday when they were going to my parents. I would rather Ana have stayed where she was safe and protected so after being told they were going out I made sure that everything was paid for which received complaints from my brother. If my wife was going out I want her to have a good evening and not worry about a bill or anything else.

She did ask me once why I gave her a card when she never gets the chance to use it, I just told her it was for emergency's.

I'm living on about three hours sleep at night, no matter what I try to do I cannot sleep, I know its the fact that I am so far away from Ana. With everything that has gone on in the past few months I worry, about my wife, about our child. It will take me a long time after nearly losing Ana to realise that she isn't going anywhere. I just want her back in my arms again.

…

I've been at the docks all day, its getting late and I know Ana will call as soon as she wakes up. I don't realise I have fallen asleep until I'm woken by a knock on my bedroom door. Bolting upright I go to answer it, grabbing my phone on the way and realising I have a missed call from Ana.

Opening the door to Taylor, I knew something was wrong by the look on his face. It was just after 11pm and I knew if it wasn't urgent he wouldn't have disturbed me.

"Luke has just sent this through sir" he says handing me his iPad with an article from the Seattle Nooz on it.

I am furious, the more I read the angry I get. I will ruin them. Shit if I have been in Seattle I would have shut this down straight away.

"Get Sam on this" I said Putting the iPad down on the table.

I immediately call Ana, it goes to voicemail at first as I disconnect the call and dial again.

Hearing a snuffly Ana answer the phone, I knew she had been crying.

"Ana are you ok, I'm sorry they wrote that about us, I will get this sorted ok." I say.

"Christian, its already out there for the world to see, their trying to turn our beautiful baby we created into something sordid." she says sniffling.

It was killing me to hear her upset and not be able to hold her.

"Ana by the time I am finished they wont know what hit them, I will ruin them."

"I want you here Christian, my hormones are driving me mad and I miss you so much"

"Ana, I miss you too, I was going to give this 24 more hours then if the report hasn't come through I would be on the plane back to Seattle but I'm not waiting, Marco can deal with everything. I will be back home as soon as i can ok."

"I'm sorry I'm a mess its the last thing you want to hear when I speak to you"

"Its ok Ana, believe me your not the only one who is a mess." I could hear her talk to someone before she came back on to the phone.

"Christian, Elliot wants to talk to you." a few seconds later my brother came on the phone.

"Christian, I'm sorry I didn't realise someone had taken her photo, there was a group in last night for a birthday, they were taking photos of whoever was blowing out the candle but we didn't see a camera pointed our way" I couldn't get angry with Elliot, Kate I could throttle for always changing plans but they were looking after her for me.

"Its not your fault Elliot it just hard being so far away, I never should have left."

"When are you back" he asked me.

"Ana has her scan on Friday so I said I will be back for then but as soon as I can get out of here I am, I am leaving my head of acquisitions here."

A knock on the door interrupted my call as Marco was shown in by Taylor. He passed me the paperwork he was holding.

"One minute Elliot" I said as I read the report.

"Can you put Ana back on please" I heard him call Ana who after a moment came on the phone.

"Sorry Christian, our baby is playing bongos on my bladder" she said.

"I'm coming home Ana ok as soon as we can get a slot we will be in the air. The safety report has put it down as an accident, labelled it as an act of nature, not sure if it would have been reported as that if it was in the States but I am not going to argue with it, so there is nothing further I can do here."

"I cant wait to see you Christian."

"You too baby, I need you to rest and look after our baby and I will be with you as soon as I can ok."

"OK, I love you Christian" I could hear the relief in her voice that I was going home.

"I love you too Ana, I will see you in a couple of days" we hung up as I turned to Marco.

"I need you to sort this out, I need to be at home with my wife, I know I'm leaving you do deal with this so I need you to step up and sort everything out here before you come home. You are now in charge and everyone will need to answer to you."

I know I was putting everything on his shoulders but my wife is more important than anything at the moment.

"Call Stephan Taylor we're going home" I told him as I called Sam.

"Mr Grey" he said as soon as he answered.

"Sam I want this shut down and I want them done for slander" I told him

"I'm already on it sir, Warburton is in the process of filing the papers, they have been warned before so we are throwing everything at them now."

"I want them stopped Sam so they can not publish anything. I don't care how much they grovel, they have been left alone to sprout shit long enough and they have gone too far this time. I have a few plans that I want put into place in the long term but for now do everything you can to shut the story down."

I ended my call with Sam before dialling Ros who didn't take long to pick up

"Hows everything going boss" she said.

"Fine I'm about to head home, I want you to find out all information you can on who owns the Seattle Nooz, they are publishing shit again about Ana and I am not putting up with it" I could hear her writing things down.

"What do you want me to do with the information when I have it" she asked me.

"Sam's in the process of filing a slander suit against them, I will take them to the cleaners but I will make them an offer first, give them no choice that they have to accept."

"You want to buy the Nooz."

"If it stays as it it they will continue to put the crap out they have, If I buy it for a rock bottom price which they are guaranteed to take we go in and clean house, anyone who had anything to do with the story will be out, I don't care who it is."

"ok I will get on it."

"Thanks Ros, I want some information as soon as I touchdown so I can get this done."

Packing my bag, Taylor had received notice saying we had a flight slot in two hours. I'm going home to my wife and unborn child, I cannot wait to just hold them again.

The flight was long, I couldn't sleep this time, I tried to work but I just wanted to be at home.

The cabin was quiet around me as Taylor and Reynold's slept. I deceided to put the disc in we had received at the last scan and watched our baby move around listening to their heart beat. We will find out this week what we are having.

Putting the headphones in as a last resort and laying my seat backwards, I put my baby's heartbeat on repeat and closed my eyes. Finally my body relaxed enough so I was able to get some sleep.

I was woken by a tap on my shoulder by Taylor telling me we were due to land soon. I put my laptop and headphones away and put my seat upright. Looking at the clock it was just after 11pm here in Seattle, jet lag is going to hit me hard, with Seattle being 15 hours behind and a 13 hour flight I don't know what planet I'm on never mind what time zone we're in.

The seatbelt light came on as we started our descent into Seattle. I felt such a relief when the wheels touched down at Boeing field. I was home again.

Coming to a stop I put my jacket on as I waited for Natalia to open the door. Thanking Stephan I headed for the door and to the top of the steps. Looking down at the waiting car, my heart exploded. Stood beside Sawyer in front of the car was my wife.

I rushed down the stairs as fast as I could as she moved forward and into my arms.

I cradled her face and crashed my lips to hers, everyone was moving around us but I had everything I needed within my arms.

Our lips moved together with a hunger like I have never felt before, even though I have only been away days it was too long, Never again. I reached down placing my hand on her stomach, wanting to feel our baby move but it was too early.

Breaking apart we stood forehead to forehead.

"He knows daddy's here, he has been quiet and now he's moving" nodding my head, it will have to be enough for now that Ana can feel our baby move and he knows I'm near.

We walked to the car as I helped Ana into her seat, going to the other side I got in beside her. She reached for my hand as I turned to her.

"I love you Christian, we both do" lifting her hand to my lips I kissed her hand and then her ring.

"I love you both so much" I leaned over kissing her again.

By the time we got home it had gone midnight, the roads had been quiet. Seeing our house come into view I could hear my bed calling me.

We said goodnight to our security before going into the house and going straight to our room once the doors were locked.

"Your exhausted Christian, I can see it in your face" Ana said as she undressed me. I didn't protest or do it myself I just let Ana do what she wanted.

Climbing into bed Ana quickly undressed and joined me grabbing one of my t shirts. Pulling her closer I felt something in the covers pulling it out to see the t shirt I had worn before going away.

She shrugged her shoulders telling me it had kept her company as it had my scent, taking it out of my hand she threw it on the floor telling me she didn't need it any more and pulled me closer to her.

With my wife and child within my arms I was finally able to sleep, 14 hours of sleep as I woke up at gone 2pm that afternoon. I woke up to see a beautiful smile on my wife's face as she pushed the hair back from my face.

"Morning Christian, sorry afternoon" she said looking at the clock.

"Afternoon Ana, you're a sight for sore eyes" I said pulling her closer.

Kissing her lips I moved her under me, ever careful of her bump which feels bigger than when I last saw it.

Ana moved her legs further apart knowing what I needed at that moment as I entered her.

Groaning loudly at the feeling of being back inside my wife I started to move.

Our lips continued to move together as our tongues met. Pulling out of Ana for a moment I reached for my pillow before lifting Ana's arse up and placing the pillow underneath. Her pussy was right in front of me now and It wouldn't put any pressure on her stomach as our body's met again. I thrust back inside her going deeper this way, I was on my knees and could feel her pussy quivering around me. I knew she was close and after reaching my hand to her clit I rubbed it until she was shouting my name. Waiting for her orgasm to subside I started to move once more, in and out I moved with her, once again her pussy started to grip my cock and I knew I would not last this time, as her orgasm pushed her over the edge, I followed with her.

We were still joined as I leaned forward kissing her stomach before pulling out of Ana.

I removed my pillow throwing it back up the bed and lay back down pulling Ana into my arms.

"Are you ok Ana" I said through ragged breath.

"Perfect" she replied turning to me and kissing my chest.

We were both content to lie in each other's arms before Ana's stomach growled. Getting up and taking a shower together we made our way to the kitchen seeing a plethora of food in the fridge that Gail must have made.

"I think she is trying to fatten me up" Ana laughed.

"Being away from Taylor I think cooking kept her busy."

Pulling mac and cheese out I heated it up for the both of us as we sat at the breakfast bar to eat.

"What's happening with the Nooz" Ana asked me.

"I'm hoping to have some information from both Ros and Sam when I check my email. Our lawyers are also involved" she was very quiet for a moment.

"Ana" I said getting her attention as she looked up at me.

"Let me deal with it please" she nodded kissing my cheek and continued to eat her food.

…

I had just spoken to Sam who told me a full front page apology was going to be in the Nooz tomorrow, but it wasn't enough, they couldn't just write shit about people and get away with it. Especially when that shit was about the most gentle and loving person I have ever met. Ana doesn't deserve this she hasn't a bad bone in her body.

Apparently the owner is on the verge of retiring so doesn't give a shit about what comes out of there. Ros has put in a crap offer which he will be stupid to refuse. He is facing a long legal battle through the courts along with his paper if he doesn't agree to my demands.

I walked to the library where Ana was curled up on the couch with a book in hand. Taking a seat at the end of the couch I pulled her feet into my lap. She was engrossed in her book pretending that I wasn't there until I ran my finger up her foot tickling it.

"Christian don't" she squealed pulling her foot away from me.

Putting her feet back in my lap I started to massage each foot.

"What do you think about owning a newspaper" I asked Ana.

I continued to rub her feet as she looked to me.

"Christian how am I supposed to have a coherent conversation when you are doing that" she said.

Placing my hands on top of her feet I asked her again about owning a newspaper.

"Which newspaper are you thinking about buying."

"The Nooz, the owner is retiring. That is why they are pushing out the stories they have because they have no one to stop them, he will not want a lawsuit as it will cost him time and money and it will not be worth it to them." I told her.

"Is this what you want Christian to buy a paper" she said.

"Not really, I want the people who put that story out to pay, if we go through the lawsuit, the company will fold because he will not be bothered and hundreds of people will lose there jobs, if we go in and buy it then the people directly responsible will be the only people who will lose their jobs. The Nooz has been the only paper who has been sprouting shit about us, buying it will change that."

"You're the business man Christian, if you think it's a good deal do it."

I pulled her into my arms as I could see her getting upset.

"Ana this is nothing to do with business this is personal, they went after my wife and I will do anything to make sure you are not distressed again like you were when we spoke on the phone, its like squatting an annoying bug that keeps coming back again" she looked into my eyes nodding.

"Do it then" she said.

"There is supposed to be a front page apology tomorrow but Ros is already on at them. she has made an offer, if they refuse we will see them in court" Ana lay her head on my chest cuddling in closer.

…

The Nooz had its full page apology as promised. The owner wanted to speak to me personally but I refused, I was in no mood to speak to him, his company had caused so much trouble so for now Ros will be dealing with it, but once the sale goes through I will be the first through the door to sort it out.

I was taking today off to spend with my wife who had also called in to Jack saying she was working from home today.

Work never happened we just enjoyed our time together and each other, making love in the meadow which probably would need a trim but hid my wife as she moved over my cock. We ate a picnic to replenish our energy before going to the back of the house and onto our small beach. For the beginning of October it was unseasonably warm, making the most of the weather before autumn kicked in and the cold and wet weather appeared.

...

"Will our baby need its own CPO when they come" Ana asked beside me.

We were sat on the Grace just bobbing about on the water. It wouldn't be going out again this year as it could get very choppy out on the water and I wouldn't trust for Ana to be out there.

"Yes they will need their own CPO, a minimum of three will be with you at all times." I told her.

"Do you think one of my CPO's would do it, I don't really want our baby to be looked after by a stranger and I trust the four I have"

"I will ask them first before I hire anyone else but that will mean I will need an additional one for you" I said kissing her nose, she is to be protected at all times and so will our little one.

"Hey if I have to have more then so do you" she protested.

"You wont have any more than four, I will just be replacing the one that is moved to our baby, once our little one is in school then they will have additional security as well, I promise they will not be suffocated" I made that promise with Ana that she could still go about her daily life and even though it will drive me mad to not want to know they are safe every minute of the day, I have to put my trust in the people around us.

Walking back into the house Ana said she was going to get a bath, I told her I would join her soon but wanted to talk to Taylor first. She went upstairs as I walked to the security office where I knew he would be.

"Sir" he greeted me when I walked in.

"Taylor, Ryan" I said acknowledging them both. "Do you have a minute Taylor" I said as Ryan excused himself saying he was going to check the grounds.

"I wanted to talk to you about a CPO for my baby, do you think one of Ana's CPO's would be interested. Ana and I have both agreed we would prefer if it was someone we already knew."

"I will ask them sir, I know that Luke would prefer to continue as Mrs Grey's CPO but I will ask the others." Thanking him I left to join my wife in the bath.

…

That evening I got the news I was waiting for, the Nooz was ours, first thing in the morning I was going to clean house.

The owner had taken a cash offer and signed paperwork straight away, fucking coward had practically cowered away when Ros paid him a visit with our lawyer instead of over the phone. She told it to him straight, sell or be dragged through the courts and be ruined. Hostile takeovers are not usually my thing but for this I made an exception.

...

I had just dropped Ana off at work. I walked her to her desk, giving her a kiss goodbye before meeting Ros back in the garage.

Ana knew about the call last night but didn't know we were about to pay them a visit, she doesn't need the stress.

Arriving at the offices to see the sign half hanging off the wall and also missing the z in Nooz so it was the Seattle Noo, we walked past reception with the receptionist trailing after us.

Asking if we had an appointment, she obviously doesn't know who is running this place yet.

"I don't need an appointment, I am the new owner so get back to your desk" I wasn't in the mood for swooning women this morning as she stood their stunned.

Security for the newspaper was shit, the one security guard they did have was too busy reading the Times as we walked past him.

Walking into a large office area Ros called out to Smith who was having a conversation with two men.

"Miss Bailey" he said blanching when he saw me beside her.

"Mr Grey, I haven't told anyone yet." he whispered.

"Allow me" I said turning to the people who were milling around being nosy instead of working.

"I WANT EVERYONE'S ATTENTION, THERE WILL BE A MEETING IN FIVE MINUTES IF YOU DONT WANT TO ATTEND OR ARE TOO BUSY DOING YOUR MAKE UP" I said looking at two women who were obviously desperate for attention touching up there make up.

"YOU KNOW WHERE THE DOOR IS, ANYONE WHO DOES NOT ATTEND PACK YOUR DESK UP AND GET OUT."

People were rushing about the room or on phones calling colleagues who were not here. A woman came up to Smith with her arms full of files. It was obviously she was struggling to carry them as Smith just looked at her.

"Mr Smith, Paul is at the hospital this morning with his son" she turned to look at me as I looked at the list in front of me.

"Paul who" I said taking the files from her before she dropped them and put them on the nearest desk.

"Paul Grower, his son is sick" I nodded, his name is not on the list so he will not be let go today.

Any one who had a day off or a genuine reason not to be here will be fine unless they were on my list.

…

Everyone was gathered around, there were a lot of people in this room, some who were about to receive bad news, bad news they had brought on themselves. I had left Sam and Luke with Ana but I had Taylor, Ryan and Reynolds with me in case anyone started any trouble. Welch is outside with more if this does kick off but also has a team ready for the newly sacked people.

"If you don't know who I am, I am the husband of the beautiful woman who you printed lies about in Sundays edition." I said keeping my cool.

"As of yesterday evening I am also the new owner of this paper" everyone turned towards Smith, they had obviously been told nothing about this.

"You see this newspaper had been printing lies about my wife and myself for sometime so I had two choices let my lawyers deal with it or deal with it myself. I choose the second option."

"Stephen Marks, Anne Whitehead, Joel Williamson, Petra Ingus, Angela Crow and Louis Michaelson you all had a hand in the story on Sunday so you are all fired. Clear your desks and get out of my building."

The protests and shouts started from more than just those six.

"IF YOU DONT LIKE MY DECISION DONT LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT" I shouted.

"We'll strike" a woman with her tits half hanging out said.

"Go ahead, I bought the company, it doesn't mean I have to keep any of you on, your boss was so quick to sign the company away he didn't give a shit if any of you still had a job. I can just shut it down now I don't give a shit, you don't get it do you. Whether I let this paper run of not, it will not continue the way it has been going on, I can happily close those doors and be done with it."

"Tina, shut up. You might not have bills to pay but I do. I have a mortgage and a baby on the way, I cant afford to not have a job" a man said behind her.

she slinked back to her desk finally seeing I'm serious.

"Ros I think we might need to make more changed that I originally thought, I want you to go through everyone who works for the company, check work reports, past reviews I will not employ incompetent people."

Taylor had called Welch in when everyone started shouting, he had security on everyone who was on my list, who were all given termination papers and shown the door. All while this had happened Smith had disappeared back to his office and was packing things up.

"I know you don't want to hear it but I would recommend O'Reilly to run this place until you find someone" he actually sounded like he cared about his company, too bad it was too late.

…

We didn't get back to GEH until just after three. I had spoke to James O'Reilly who was actually the man who had told the woman who was content to flash her tits to shut up.

His file was very commendable and will be in charge for the moment with one of my exec's from GEH who I sent over. They have a lot of work to do over there as not one more paper will be printed until it is all sorted out.

I took the elevator up to the 12th floor instead of going up to my office.

"She's just in an editors meeting Mr Grey" Hannah said when I reached her desk. Nodding I went in Ana's office and took a seat on the couch.

I hadn't realised I had fallen asleep until I received a kiss on my forehead, its been a long week and its not even over.

"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you" Ana said as I pulled her onto my lap.

"Its ok, lack of sleep and worry is making me tired, even though I slept well the other night it still catching up on me."

"Come on lets go home, we could both do with some extra sleep."

"Sleep sleep or our kind of of sleep" I said raising my eyebrow at her, I don't care how tired I was I would always be awake for that.

"Both Mr Grey" she said taking my hand and leading me out of her office, telling Hannah she would be in tomorrow after her scan.

...

This morning is Ana's scan, hopefully we will be able to find out the sex of our baby, Ana is still convinced we are having a boy, mothers intuition she said and I wasn't going to disagree with her. If our baby is a girl it is time to hire a lot more security especially if she looks like her mother.

We did sleep when we got home yesterday but only after tiring each other out first.

I have decided there will be no more overseas trips unless Ana can come with me, I would rather lose the business than be away from my family any more.

Marco is still in Taiwan and called to let me know the cranes had arrived yesterday. Once the second crane has been completely dismantled as well, construction can begin.

Ana's scan is not until 10.30am so we will be going back to work after, I would rather stay at home after but I have so much work still to catch up on from my time away.

A knock on my office door brings me away from my laptop and I look up to see Ryan standing there.

"Morning sir, could I have a word please" he said as I motioned him in and to close the door.

"What can I do for you Ryan."

"I would like to be considered for the job as CPO to your baby sir" he said.

Sawyer like Taylor said did want to continue as Ana's CPO and I also needed Prescott to stay with Ana. Reynolds had not said anything either way. Ryan is the first to let me know.

"OK, I will talk to Taylor about it. you will stay as one as Ana's CPO until the baby is born though and if everything is agreeable with Ana, our baby will be your primary charge."

"Yes sir I understand" I got up once he had left taking my briefcase with me and went to find Ana.

"Ready to confirm we are having a boy" Ana said when she saw me enter the kitchen.

"Yes Mrs Grey I cannot wait to see our baby again" I said kissing her lips.

"Ryan would like the job of our baby's CPO, how do you feel about that" I asked her.

"Relieved, that it will be someone we already trust."

I could completely agree with that.

"Come on Mr Grey help me off this stool and lets go and see our son" she said laughing as I helped her down.

Taking her hand we headed for the door, security in tow to see our little one again.

Thank you again for reading and reviewing I really appreciate your thought's on my story.

Next chapter will be up weekend if not before

Until then take care

Caroline.
