-3 days later-
Carrick's pov: I sit in the living room with grace and mia relaxing for the first time in a while, mia's head is resting on my shoulder whilst grace has an arm wrapped around us as we watch tv. I soon hear my phone ringing from the mantle piece "mia sweetheart could you get my phone?" I ask knowing that grace who now has her head on my chest, is half asleep from her shift at the hospital earlier. She jumps up and grabs it, her eyes light up telling me it's christian as she answers "hey big bro!" She says with excitement but her face drops as he says something to her.
Without second thought she gives me the phone and sits down again "Christian?" I ask concerned as to what he could have said for mia's face to fall the way it did, i hear a shaky breath from his end "hey dad" he sounds nervous which is really un christian like "what's wrong son?" I ask getting Grace's attention as she's sat up watching me concerned "could you come over?" He asks still sounding nervous and a little upset now. I nod forgetting he can't see me "just me or your sister and mother as well?" I ask to make sure i understand what he means.
I hear ana say something in the background "just you and mom please" he says as stress comes into his tone before we hang up, mia looks at me with confusion and concern "christian needs your mother and i for something sweetheart, we won't be long" i tell her as i kiss her hair and help my wife up, milo my driver meets us out front and soon we are parking in christians underground parking. Grace is the first to get out and goes to the elevator pressing the call button 5 times before looking at me "whats going on carry?" She asks confused causing me to shrug "i dont know dear, Christian sounded different when we spoke" she nods as she puts the code in.
When we finally get up to the pent house we see ana first as she's sat in the great room, she's reading something and speaks not realisinh we are here "Christian, they seem ro have found where your birth mother is" she says in the quietest voice we've ever heard, there's a muffled groan from somewhere close by "I'll get dad to check that out too" grace follows our sons voice whilst i go to ana, she jumps as i sit beside her and turn the piece of paper towards myself "oh! Carrick i didn't hear you come in" she says with wide startled eyes.
I cant help but give her a kind smile "I'm sorry ana i didnt mean to startle you" she smiles back although it doesn't reach her eyes as i start reading what ana was reading about information on Christian's birth mother, my eyes widen as this place is close to the house where he was found "i know where that is" i say softly. Ana's eyes widen a little as she looks over towards the kitchen, i follow her stare and see grace holding christian close as he has his head burried in her chest "oh my" i hear her say softly.
I quickly get up and approach the two slowly, although it seems christian hears me and looks up at me. I almost stop walking when i see sadness, confusion and a little fear in my little boys eyes. The fear isnt because of where Grace's hands are but because of something else, i finish my walk and put my hand on his shoulder now that hes pulled away from his mother "what's the matter son?" I ask really concerned now. Christian isn't one to show his emotions this easily, he moves away from the two of us going to the table "i got more information on hyde" he says picking a folder up and bringing it over.
