A/N: Thanks for reading. Enjoy!

"Mrs. Grey, I hate saying this, but you need to get up. You and our little angel need to have a nice breakfast before work." Through my closed lids, I feel Christian's heat against my neck. It's the same heat that's sending my entire body into overdrive.

"I've got time.", I mumble, not knowing the time.

"You call seven thirty having time?" Seven thirty? That means I have to be at work in thirty minutes. I open my eyes and toss back the covers from my naked body as Christian's standing by the bed in laughter. "I'm kidding."

"Why? Tell me one good reason you would joke with me like that?" I finally notice he's also completely naked. "And why aren't you dressed for work yet?"

"I did the entire late act to get you fully awake so I can make love to you which requires me to not have any clothes on.", he smirks as he climbs on to the bed, settling between my legs which automatically open for him. "Mrs. Grey. Fuck. I love how that rolls off the tongue."

"It's a lovely name." Although we got married Saturday, we're holding off until a later date to take a honeymoon which is fine with me. We spent Saturday night and most of yesterday in the honeymoon suite at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. We slept, made love, and slept some more so we could be rested for our love making. "Oh.", I groan, feeling Christian slip inside me. Our lips gravitate together and begin moving along with Christian's thrusts. My hands grip his arms, feeling his pulsating muscles as he moves in and out of me.

"Baby. I love you so so much.", he murmurs. I feel my orgasm already close. "Come on baby." My toes curl as my climax hits. I tighten my hold on Christian and see his eyes darken even more. His entire body stills while he releases himself inside me.

"I'm glad you woke me."


"Sawyer's going to be taking the lead today, but Lewis will be close at all times as well." Yesterday, Christian introduced me to Dana Lewis, my secondary CPO. From what I've seen, she's nice but has a no holds barred personality. "I'm kind of surprised you're not even a little upset about having another person follow you. You weren't too sure of Sawyer at first.

"Things have changed.", I shrug with one hand on my glass of orange juice and the other on my stomach. "You're looking out for me and the baby."

"Everything I do concerning you is done with the best of intentions. On that note, we need to discuss the wedding announcement. The PR department is releasing the statement this afternoon at one. Various newspapers, magazines, tv stations will pick up in no time. Sawyer and Lewis have been told to be on extra alert and not to let anyone near you." All of the guests at the wedding were asked to sign NDAs preventing them from revealing any sort of detail about the wedding. It was difficult asking our loved ones to do such a thing, but everyone understood and signed. Christian and I, however, made the decision to go ahead and announce the marriage to the press.

"I'm a little nervous."

"We can hold off on the statement a while longer if you want. There's nothing saying we have to do this today."

"No. We need to go ahead and tell the world we're married. The sooner we do it, the better it'll be. The press was respectful before so maybe they'll continue." Or so I hope. "When did Ethan say he would have the photos from Saturday ready?"

"At the end of the week.", Christian answers. "I haven't seen them but already know they're going to be great. How can they not be with you in them?"

"You're too much.", I laugh. "I'm still anxious to see how they turned out. I have this vision in my head of a wedding photo hanging on the wall of the house we'll raise our family in. Of course the walls will also be lined with countless photos of the baby."

"I've seen a few houses online that are nice, but none of them jump out at me. Our home needs to be perfect."

"It'll be perfect." I turn and see Sawyer and Lewis walking into the kitchen. "I'll be ready to leave in about ten minutes."

"Yes ma'am.", Lewis says. "Sawyer's gone over your routine with me once again. I'm confidant everything will be smooth."

"It better be.", Christian scoffs. I look down at my cup while feeling his eyes on me. "Don't roll your eyes Ana."

"I wasn't." I keep my head down while actually rolling my eyes. I gradually bring my head up.

"You might not at first, but the little smirk on your face lets me know you did so just now."

"I plead the fifth.", I giggle.


"Well if isn't Mrs. Grey.", Audrey giggles when I open the office door. She and Daniel's who had his chair rolled next to hers start clapping their hands. "We told you congratulations, right? Daniel, didn't we tell Ana and Christian congratulations?" I know Audrey's aggravating.

"We did...several times.", he answers. "Does it feel different being married?"

"Well I can feel that our love is stronger, but it's always grown by the day. Did you two have fun at the reception?"

"The reception was a lot of fun. I especially loved the karaoke. Give me a microphone, and I'm a happy girl.", Audrey says. "I think the bottle of bubbles were Daniel's favorite part. I kept telling him we were only supposed to blow them when you and Christian were on your way down the aisle after the ceremony and then when you left after the reception. Did he listen? No. He kept getting into them like a little kid."

"I'm sitting right here.", Daniel mumbles. "And you weren't complaining when I had the bubbles out later at my place."

"I knew we had a lot of bubbles left over but didn't know where they ended up.", I say. "I don't mind though. Just don't give me the details of what you did with them."

"Spare us all the details.", Kate laughs from her desk. She called me last night and said she was planning to get to work early this morning to catch up on some work. From the way she's struggling to stay awake, she got here very early. I leave Audrey's desk and head to mine. "Morning." Kate's chipper tone is a contrast to the tiredness in her eyes.

"Good morning. What time did you get here?"

"Uh...at seven. I felt like I got a little behind last week so I'm making up for it today. Your mom was just getting up when I was leaving." I lay out my pen and notepad and glance towards Olivia's office. The blinds on the small windows looking into the main room are still closed, and there doesn't appear to be any light coming from under the door. "Olivia isn't here yet.", Kate answers my unspoken question. "It's after eight on a Monday. Usually by now we're sitting through our Monday meeting. It's odd that she's not here yet though. Anywho..." Kate places her chin on her hands. "When is the official wedding announcement being made?"

"The press release is going out this afternoon. Sawyer's been told to be on extra alert for reporters. Christian also has hired a new security person Dana to help Sawyer."

"Good thinking especially now.", Kate murmurs. I narrow my eyes at her "especially now" remark. "You know with the wedding and all." I continue to look at her in disbelief. "What?"

"I've known you long enough to know when you're not being truthful. Kate, what are you getting at?"

"Nothing. Should I be?" Now it seems as if she's waiting on me to reveal key information. Could she have possibly figured out I'm pregnant? Before either of us says any thing else, Olivia finally arrives. She stops by Audrey's desk and takes her messages before turning on her heels to head to her office.

"Good morning Olivia. We were wondering if you were ok.", Kate says.

"I'm fine. I was in a meeting.", is all she says before closing her door. Kate looks at me and then nods at Olivia's office. "Why don't you go and do some recon work."

"What? Why would I do that?"

"Because it's clear something is going on with her. Maybe she met a guy last night and had a wild one night stand, causing her to over sleep?"

"Or maybe she was in a meeting.", I sigh while attempting to start my work. I glimpse at Kate who's staring at Olivia's office. "If you're so concerned about where she really was, why don't you go and ask her yourself?"

"She likes you better. Besides, you're the newlywed who everyone is gushing over. There's no way she'll get mad at you." I shouldn't bother going to Olivia's office, but I know Kate's not going to stop goading me.

"Fine. I'll do it." I push my chair back, smooth my dark blue blouse, and head to Olivia's office. I gently tap on the door and wait for permission to enter. I'm not about to go in there without her saying it's ok.

"Come in.", Olivia says. I open the door and find her staring at me with a smile. "Ana. Hi."

"Hey.", I stammer. "Um...I...came in here to tell you that the wedding press release is going out today at one. There might be some reporters outside the building although Sawyer and my new security person Lewis will be hand to make sure all of the action stays outside."

"Ok. Now for the other reason you're in here." I crinkle my nose and act clueless. "Kate was being very quiet out there. I heard her. She sent you in here to find out what's going on with me." I reluctantly nod and sit down in the chair across from her desk. "It's not as exciting as the one night stand she thinks I had. I was in a meeting with upper management. It seems the magazine hasn't been doing as well as they'd like."

"Oh no."

"It's not doing terrible, but there's room for improvement. Anyway, word got out that things aren't running smooth. A company has made it known they'd like to buy the magazine."

"I'm still not sure I like the sound of that."

"Jim Karnes, our current owner, has been considering retiring for a while. This offer by the other company might be what gives him that push. There would be some changes but no one would lose their jobs."

"What's the name of the company?"

"T&G Publishing. It's a subsidiary company under a larger corporation."

"Who is the larger corporation?", I ask. Olivia starts moving items around on her desk in a fairly obvious way of avoiding me. "Olivia, why are you being evasive?"

"Grey Enterprises." Christian hasn't said one word to me about buying the magazine. I grip the side of the chair and stand. "Before you came in here, I thought you might already know. You didn't."

"No. I didn't. I realize the day is just starting, but would it be ok if I leave for a bit. I have an errand to run."

"Sure."


"Mrs. Grey, hi.", Andrea cheerfully greets me when I arrive at Christian's office. I spent the entire ride here trying to figure out what I was going to say to him, but I couldn't figure out the exact words I want to say.

"Hi. I didn't call Christian ahead of time, but is there a chance he might be free?"

"He is at the moment." She looks at the computer in front of her. "He's actually free for the next hour. You can go in. Oh and congratulations on the wedding."

"Thank you. I'm going to go on in." Unlike with Olivia's door, I don't bother knocking on Christian's. Instead, I simply turn the knob and push the door open. Sitting at his desk with his eyes glued to papers is my gorgeous husband. "Hello." His eyes dart to me as he leaps from his desk.

"Ana, baby, hey.", he smiles before pressing his lips to mine. Those soft and tantalizing lips that usually make me forget my own name but not this time. I'm here on a mission. I pull away, making him frown. "I trust Sawyer and Lewis brought you here."

"They did. It's kind of ironic that you used the word trust. You would think by now trust would be a given. Yet, it seems you don't comprehend that."

"I'm confused."

"You're confused?!", I shout. "I bet you're not as confused as I was when I was told by Olivia that my new husband might be buying the magazine I work for." I can see the wheels are turning. "Not confused any more?"

"How did Olivia find out?"

"During a meeting with the upper management."

"I didn't know they were going to discuss today.", he sighs. "Nothing is definite. I had heard the magazine was going through hard times so I reached out to Jim Karnes. He's a very stubborn and strong willed man who is torn about selling. He started the magazine out of nothing, but through hard work and dedication, it's grown into a respectable publication. The fact that he's been wanting to retire isn't a secret in the business world. What keeps him from doing so is he's not sure if he can let his baby go. I was planning on telling you when I knew more."

"But instead I had to find out from someone else. Let's just say he does sell to you. How is that going to make me look with my coworkers? They're not going to think of me the same."

"It wouldn't change anything. You and the rest of the staff would continue with your daily routines as normal. All I'd basically be doing is funding the place." My mind starts drifting back to this morning at breakfast.

"Everything I do concerning you is done with the best of intentions.", I mumble. "You said that this morning. Tell me the truth. Are you wanting to buy the magazine because you want to help it or because you want to keep an eye on me?"

"Even though my words are true, my buying the magazine is because I want to help it. That's the truth." He cautiously moves closer to me, placing his hand on my stomach. "I'm sorry for not telling you what was going on. I should have from the beginning. I fucked up."

"You're damn right you did. We just got married, and you're keeping things from me. Is this how it's going to be?"

"No. Ana, I swear I'm going to be truthful with you from here on out."

"You're in the dog house. I'm not sure how long it'll last, maybe a few hours, maybe a few days.", I say. "I've got to get back to work."

"All right."

"Before you come home tonight, you better have some mint chocolate chip ice cream with you or the banish to the dog house will be longer."

"You've got it baby."
