Chapter 51 Baby Watch
April 27 Friday – Day Before Ana's due date
"Mr. Grey, Sam is here." Andrea informs me that Sam is here to review the press release that has been prepared announcing the baby's birth. Sam has been running the department since I fired Chaz and he has stepped it up, although I am still on the look-out for a good CCO. I told Ros to keep looking I don't want to force it this time preferring to take our time to find the right candidate.
Sam walks in my office and hands me the release.
Christian Grey announced the birth of his first child, a son, Theodore Raymond Grey born today….at xxx. Baby Grey weighed XX and was delivered naturally at Seattle Memorial Hospital. The baby was named after his great grandfather Theodore Trevelyan, Christian Grey's revered grandfather and most trusted advisor. The baby's middle name is in honor of his maternal grandfather, Raymond Steele. Both baby and mother are doing fine."
"What the fuck is this Sam? Seems you forgot to mention the name of the performing artist. I am not the one that has been pregnant for nine months or will be delivering him for Christ's sakes. Re-write this and mention my wife. This makes it sound like I went out and bought myself a kid. For fucks sake, change the god damn thing to read, Anastasia and Christian Grey are pleased to announce…" I throw my pen across the room. For some reason this really pisses me off. "This sounds like I am announcing a new company, not my son." I am frustrated. "No one has seen this right? I don't want anyone to know i am having a boy yet."
"No sir. Sorry, I will re-write it." He looks embarrassed.
"Sam, sorry." Did I just apologize? "Look I have had little to no sleep this past week. Ana is miserable and we were up half the night. Re-write it and let me look at it before I leave today."
"Yes, sir, you are right. I completely disrespected Mrs. Grey by leaving her out of this. It was not intentional." I just nod my head.
After Sam leaves I spend the next thirty minutes looking at the proposed organizational chart for a company we acquired in Canada last week.
"Sir," I look up to see Taylor." I nod for him to come in.
"I have the NDA's of all the maternity ward staff that could possibly be on call when Mrs. Grey delivers. Everyone but the anesthesiologist has been predetermined and has signed off. And since we don't even know if she will be delivering naturally or not, the hospital admin wouldn't meet me in the middle on that one issue. We will have to take several NDA's with us. I have only rejected two of the preferred staff. I assume you would not approve a male nurse in the delivery room so I rejected him as well as Dr. Bethany Porter who is the back-up doctor on call for Dr. Green. I rejected Dr. Porter for obvious reasons. Dr. Green understands that her retainer requires her to be here for Mrs. Grey's delivery and that issue has been resolved." Taylor is on top of this. I hadn't even thought about half that shit.
I shake my head. "Fuck, I forgot Bethany was an OB-GYN. And no fucking way do I want a male nurse staring at my wife's snatch for hours on end." He tries to hide a grin. "Sorry that was rather crude of me wasn't it? But why the fuck would they put a male nurse on a floor where it's all women with their legs wide open?" I shake my head. Don't they think this shit through? "Are we all set up for clearance through the back entrance?" He nods but raises an eyebrow. "And the hospital communications department is prepared for the cluster fuck of media that will show up when word gets out Ana is labor?"
"Yes sir and I have secured private parking in the doctor's lot for all Grey family members who may be coming to the hospital to visit or wait out the delivery. They gave me some push back about the back entrance because they said the media is already hanging out back there. So, we may have to play that one by ear." He hands me a floor plan of the maternity floor and the wing where Ana will be located. "Mrs. Grey will not have any one in the rooms next to her on either side or across from her. Your son will not be attended to in the hospital nursery. He will be kept in Mrs. Grey's room unless there are any complications. Sorry sir, I just need to let you know that we can't over ride them on that issue if the baby were to need any neo-natal care." Again I nod grimacing thinking about any complications.
"Have you vetted the pediatrician and any potential staff that will be handling my son as well. I want to make sure anyone who comes within ten feet of him has had a background check and vetted. If at any given moment I am not able to be with him if he is taken somewhere, anywhere, and I can't imagine what that would be, then Reynolds needs clearance to accompany him." Taylor nods. "I want every floral delivery and gift scanned as well." Taylor grins
"Yes sir. Finding x-ray machines in this case will not be a problem and per your instructions we notified their development team that you would be providing a substantial check after the delivery if you are pleased with Mrs. Grey's stay and the service provided."
"Have you made arrangements to clear our street and barricade it for the next few weeks?"
"Sir, we will do our best. The city will not give us a permit to do so. We may have a tough time getting in and out of there for the next few days. Sawyer took Mrs. Grey out this morning and they had to turn around as they couldn't get out."
"First of all, what do you mean they couldn't get out? Was Sawyer alone?"
"Yes sir, I had everyone else tied up. Reynolds had to drive your grandparents to the doctors this morning, Wilson is with Mia and your mom at some spa, Ryan is getting the tracking device added to your dad's new car and I'm here. Burtonsky is back in Welch's office finishing background checks on the garage attendants at the hospital." Burtonsky is the bad ass that Taylor hired last month to start filling in and working with Sawyer when Reynolds goes on baby duty. "Where was Ana going this morning? She didn't tell me she was going anywhere?" I am a bit irritated with my wife. She is due any second and she is out running around.
"Mrs. Grey wanted to go to some baby store to pick up something sir."
"What the fuck could she possible need? We have enough baby shit in that house to have ten kids." I shake my head. I don't care about her spending money but we seriously have everything ever invented and it has taken over the house. "Anything else Taylor?"
"Our biggest security risk is of course someone disguised as a hospital employee and having access to the baby. He will never be out of reach of Reynolds while at the hospital. I will be there as will Sawyer and Ryan. I hired six security guards stationed on the floor and near the exits. They are on loan from the Gates camp and Mr. Gates insists that they come at no charge. I feel confident that we have everything in order sir. The only problem I have right now is the ridiculous number of paps at the house hanging at the gate on baby watch. I am half tempted to have you and Mrs. Grey move locations to Escala, but that of course if your decision."
"I will talk to her, but she probably isn't going to want to do it. Okay if we are done on this subject, where are you on all of the Audi's?"
"Reynolds is headed to Maya's office to pick her car up later this afternoon and that is the last of them. All eight that you have taken back are in our possession and parked at Escala. I have a dealer meeting me over there tomorrow morning to see what he wants to offer us for all of them. Christ, both Susannah's car and Erika's will need to be detailed. They are filthy and show a lot of wear and tear. Bryce has drafted the cease and desist notice that has been sent to all of the members of the "Sub Club" and Stephanie's eviction notice on her condo has been delivered." I sigh.
I am done with them. Eight of my former subs still had my cars and I took them back. Stephanie was the only sub that still was living in one of my apartments and she has been served with an eviction notice. If those fucking bitches thought they could fuck with me and that my marriage wasn't the real thing or that my love for Ana was some sort of game, they all know better now. I went out of my mind when Taylor told me about the letter and was ready to show up at Elliot's when I found out Susannah went there. But, I don't even want to be in the same square mile as any of them. I am surprised that Jenna was part of the Sub Club. I thought being married and a mother, she would have distanced herself from them. What a bunch of pitiful desperate women. I don't understand it because several have new DOM's. They are just so pissed that none of them accomplished what Ana did without even trying. I talked to Flynn about it and I just need to forget about them and not react. Hard to do when I feel my family and relationship with Ana is being threatened.
"Are we done with them? Good work Taylor." He looks surprised.
"I think the message has been received Sir. With that said, I still have someone watching Aubrey. I don't trust her." He gets up to leave but turns around with a smile. "Sir, don't tell me I am doing a good job, it makes me fucking think something is wrong like you might be coming down with something." I can't help but chuckle.
"I'll be sure to remember that."
I look at my watch and note it is 5:30. Ana invited Stacey and Colin over tonight for dinner so I gather all my paperwork and projects for next week, hoping that the baby will arrive this weekend and then I will have what I need with me. Tomorrow is Ana's due date. Dr. Green promised us that if he didn't come by next Thursday she would break Ana's water and induce her. So either way we know our son will be here within six days. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
As we head out and walk through the lobby, there are quite a few employees mingling and talking as they head to the parking garage. I almost always try to leave after six to avoid running into staff that I don't really know. I didn't time this very well as I hear multiple employees sucking up telling me to have a good evening, have a good weekend and all that other transparent bullshit. I open the door for several of the female employees headed out at the same time as we are exiting hoping to god they don't want to talk, but no such luck.
"How is Mrs. Grey? The papers said she is past due." Not true but they don't need to know this.
"She is fine thank you."
"But is she past due?"
"Due for what?" I look at them like I have no idea what they are talking about.
They laugh, I grin, they swoon. Christ I know the pattern.
"Come on Mr. Grey, we are all dying and so excited about the baby. Just tell us something."
"It's a girl I bet, I could tell by the way she is carrying the baby." I keep hearing women talking about the way a baby is carried. I have stared at Ana and Stacey and they look basically the same to be. Yet one is having a boy and the other a girl. But they have one common look to me…very pregnant. I don't get what the fuck they are talking about when they say this shit. Even my Aunt Diana was here for the shower, said she could tell by the way Ana was carrying the baby that it was a boy. I call bullshit on that.
"Mr. Grey are you going in the delivery room?" They don't know me well do they?
"Mr. Grey are you going to change diapers?" Yes if my mother has any say in this.
"Mr. Grey have you picked a name out yet?" What the fuck? Do they think we would get days away and have no idea. Who would be that unprepared?
"Mr. Grey, do you need a nanny? My brother is a great nanny." Did she say brother? Not in ten lifetimes.
I can't help it, l start laughing at the barrage of questions. I know my employees are only interested because for whatever reason they actually care. I am sure it is the Ana factor. I surprise myself and turn around on the walkway and decide to throw them a few bones.
"All is well, and I can assure you by this time next week, I will be a father. Yes we have a name selected and I will most definitely be in the delivery room. I will change diapers under great duress but as my mother reminds me, I had fun making my baby so I need to own diaper duty too." They all squeal and clap. I don't get it. First I wouldn't give a fuck if it was someone else so I wouldn't ask, but if I did ask I sure as fuck wouldn't squeal and get all excited. I look at Taylor and try not to roll my eyes. "Have a good weekend." I walk towards the door where Taylor has it opened for me. I get in the back and as I look up they are all gawking and staring like love sick puppies. I point to the infant seat already installed in the car and say before Taylor shuts the door. "See ladies I even have the infant car seat ready and in place. I got this." I wink and I swear one almost faints. Taylor shuts the door and we head home.
I walk in the house loosening my tie and Benson greets me. I tell him to go find his ball and he brings it to me all excited wagging his tail. We head outside and I throw the ball a dozen times letting him get some exercise and run around the property a bit. I make a mental note to let him go for a run with me in the morning. Ana hasn't been getting out for walks much with him this past week as she has been dragging. She went on maternity leave last week and I thought she was going to relax but she read a bunch of manuscripts and packed and unpacked her bag for the hospital a dozen times. Benson and I head back inside and I find Ana in the laundry room. I let her know I am there as she has the washer and dryer going and seems deep in thought. I wonder why she is doing laundry. She has been cleaning non-stop lately. Gail keeps telling her that she will do the cleaning but Ana seems restless. She was polishing my god damn shoes last night.
"Hi, I didn't hear the chimes." She walks over and puts her arms around my neck and we kiss a few times. She smiles at me. "I have been thinking about you a lot today."
"I'm glad to hear that and I think about you every second." I kiss her again and rub her bump.
I don't know what the fuck is going on with her but for as pregnant as she is all she wants to do is fuck right now. I fucked her last night once before dinner and three times after and then she wouldn't let me leave this morning until I fucked her again. And it isn't exactly easy. She is as pregnant as she could possibly be. This morning I fucked her lying down sideways, last night it was twice with her on top, once from behind and one time with the sling shot. It was nice to get that view again. I like that little toy allowing Ana's legs to be spread eagle and I had her ass raised up on the liberator pillow. She has that look about her right now. I am not one to turn down getting fucked but we have company coming over any minute.
"Baby, do you still need some of me? What is going on with you?" I kiss her nose. "Don't get me wrong I will fuck you all day if that is what you want, but I would be lying if I didn't tell you I am a little nervous that all this fucking isn't going to….wait is that what is going on here? Are you trying to get me to fuck you into labor? I feel used Mrs. Grey." I feign being hurt.
She giggles. "Well, that is a side benefit but no, I am horny for one and I don't know, I guess I am worried." She plays with her rings and that is my sign something is on her mind.
"Talk to me, what has you worried?" And cue….the tears. I could have predicted the tears the minute I asked. She has been so emotional this week but I get it. She is days away from being a mother and she is nervous, so I actually understand. I am a bit jittery myself.
"I am worried that you won't be able to go the full six weeks without sex, so I am trying to take care of you now."
"Come on, that is really what your worried about?"
"Yes, Elliot is always teasing you and I am just scared you will need sex when I can't give it to you."
"Ana, we're in this together. I can handle going without getting laid for six weeks. Christ at least you aren't like Stacey. Colin told me that she was stitched up and he hasn't been laid since before Christmas. They actually fucking stitched up her pussy." I shake my head. They would have had to commit me if that happened to Ana.
"Yes I know. She kept having early labor. Just promise me that when you even feel remotely horny you will let me know and I will take care of you."
"Baby, you are worrying about the wrong issues. Have I ever not told you when I need you? We'll figure it out."
"No you haven't." Ana is still crying. "I just am worried about it that's all." Why do I feel like she isn't telling me everything? I spend the next ten minutes trying to reassure her then I shut the laundry room door and start kissing her with the intentions of showing her how much I love her. I pull up her shirt and push her breast out of her bra. What the hell? Her tits are leaking.
"Ana, why are your breasts leaking?" Then I remember the child birthing class. Maybe it was helpful afterall. So this is colostrum? I smile at her. "Looky here. Ted's food bank is open for business." Ana looks down and starts wiping her breasts. She looks mortified.
"Oh my god, this is the first time this has happened. I'm sorry."
"Stop. Why are you sorry? I think it is kind of sexy and fascinating. Baby it is just nature's way of letting you know any day now."
"Oh listen to you Dr. Spock." I gently squeeze her tit and more colostrum comes out. I grab her other breast and try to get some out of that one but nothing comes out until I squeeze for a few seconds.
"Christian, stop, they aren't toys." I am actually playing with them I find this completely mesmerizing. "Stop."
"They are my toys. At least until the invader arrives." I look down at her and wiggle my eyebrows. "Let me clean you up."
"Christian don't you dare."
"I won't suck on them. I just want to lick this off. Let me try it."
"It's not the same as the milk that will come in."
"I know, just let me lick it off. Don't be shy Ana, for fucks sake. I think we are way past that at this stage." I wink at her and she sighs which is my cue to go for it. I lick her and stop to taste it. "Not bad. Kind of watery, but a bit sweet." I know I have a big smile on my face. "I can assure you this is a real first for me." She hits me on the arm.
"I should fucking hope so. Jeez Christian."
"Hey Mrs. Grey, watch your language. Can I change before Stacey and Colin get here? Are you okay now?" She nods and then shrugs. "What?"
"You didn't fuck me?" I smile.
"I will later I promise, but didn't you say they would be here at seven? That's in five minutes." She moves back.
"Wait, do you like this one or this one. I can't decide what to bring him home in." She holds up two little baby outfits and they both look like fucking dresses to me.
"Neither. Why would you put him in one of those? They are fucking dresses."
"Language Mr. Grey. No they aren't. They are sleepers."
"Where's the legs. They look like something a girl would wear. They actually look like little sacks. No, I don't want him wearing either of those. Don't you have something for a boy in all that shit you bought and were given? Maybe something with legs in it."
Ana is laughing at me now. "Christian these make it convenient to change them and they are unisex, little boys wear them too. He doesn't need a fly yet for god sakes. These have the little built mittens so he won't scratch his face and we can cover his hands." I look at it closer and see what she is talking about.
"It looks like s straight jacket. No, don't put him in this. Come on Ana, put him in something different. Please." I can't believe I give a shit about this but I really don't like this little shitty sack outfit that she has. She goes through the clothes and pulls out a soft light blue one piece sleeper with snaps, a white collar with a little CD emblem on it. I see it is Christian Dior. And it has legs. "Good, I like this one. Christ is this how small he is?" I hold the sleeper up and look at it. It says zero to three months. It is so fucking small the sleeves are about as long as my fingers. Sawyer knocks and lets us know that Colin and Stacey have arrived so I run up the back stairway to change while Ana greets our guest.
Ana's POV – April 28th Due Date
Stacey and Colin stayed rather late last night, I sort of wanted them to leave around ten but they stayed until one am. Christian whispered in my ear that he was about ready to pull Stacey's stitches out so Colin would take her home and fuck her and we could go up to our bedroom and do the same. But by the time they left I was so tired I fell asleep as soon my head hit the pillow. Then when I had to get up to go pee, I couldn't get up. I was on my back and I just couldn't do it. I had to wake Christian up to put his arm out and use it as a lever. He was half asleep and asked me when he woke up if I used his arm to get up. He thought he was dreaming it.
I am sitting on the couch reading a book. We had breakfast and I felt full before I even ate. I don't want to complain so I am quiet. I hear myself sighing a lot. I am miserable. Please baby boy be like your daddy and be on time. "Oh shit, what if Teddy is like me and always late and makes me wait until Thursday to be induced?"
"It would be justice well served." Christian is sitting on the other end of the couch reading the paper. We have our legs draped over each other. I know he has been so frustrated with me lately. Well ever since I became pregnant I am late everywhere we go. I hope that bad habit goes away soon. I look down and my stomach is huge. I could rest a plate on it. My belly button looks like it has popped out completely. I rub my belly all the time as I feel like it connects me to Teddy and it just itches terribly.
"I am so big I am surprised I don't have a blow hole coming out of my head right now." Christian lowers the paper.
"Actually you do." Christian winks at me and smiles.
"Shut up or you won't be getting anymore of those anytime soon."
"Wow your crabby today baby."
"I am miserable. This child is never leaving home."
"Baby your due date is today. Relax." Christian tells me about the security measures in place and the press release that will come out. "Do you want to release a photo of the baby or just the release?"
"Can't we just release a photo of you holding him or something like that? I don't want his face plastered everywhere for awhile. Babies are all scrunchy at first and if someone prints that our baby isn't gorgeous I will become unglued. So maybe just a photo of you holding him in a blanket."
"No, if we do that we are in the picture together. I don't want to have anyone even suspect we aren't together. If I am in the picture without you the rumor mill will be rampant. Why don't you want to be in it?"
"Christian, my stomach won't be flat after he is born and people will be looking to see how bad I look. So no, I don't want to be in the photo unless I am sitting down or something." He rolls his eyes at me. "Watch it Grey." My cell rings and I see that it is my dad.
"Hi daddy."
"Hey pumpernickel. Any news? Am I a grandfather yet?"
"Dad I think I would tell you if I had the baby. No, there is nothing to report. Still just waiting." We talk a bit longer and as soon as I hang up my friend Amanda calls.
"Hey, Amanda." She asks if there is any news and I roll my eyes. "Nope."
As soon as I hang up Christian answers his phone.
"Hey dad….just sitting here relaxing…..nope. No, she's tired but fine. Of course you and Mom will know as soon as are on our way to the hospital. Seriously you need to remind me? Yep, laters."
Christian turns the stereo on from his i-Pad but I tell him to turn it down because Kate is calling me.
"Hi Kate."
"Hey Steele, is that little bun ready to come out of the oven?"
"Well, he should be, but nothing is happening."
"Nothing? Well walk around or something. I don't want you to go into labor tomorrow because Elliot and I have to go hear the band for our wedding. So do it tonight."
"Gee I will see what I can do." This is getting frustrating.
"Seriously, go screw your hubby or something. Let's get his show on the road."
"Been there done that. Nada." I am getting tired of people calling me like I can control this.
"Okay well let us know." She hangs up and Christian stands up.
"Give me your phone." I look at him funny. "Sawyer" He calls out for Luke and I am curious as to what he is up to. Sawyer enters.
"Sir."
"Take our phones will you? Everyone is driving us nuts wanting to know where the baby is. Christ, like we can do anything about it. If we have the phones on us, we will pick them up when they ring." He hands our phones to Sawyer. "Baby get up, let's take a walk." He pulls me from the couch. I have my yoga pants on, one of his t-shirts and my most comfy Ugg moccasins. Christian whistles and Benson follows us out the back door and he takes my hand guiding me around back with Benson behind us.
"It's warmer out than I thought. Oh, I hadn't noticed those trees before. The blooms are wonderful. What kind of tree is that?" I have been cooped up inside the house, by my choice mostly and just noticing the spring foliage.
"I think Elliot told me that they are dogwood trees. He knows that shit inside and out. I don't." He kisses my forehead as we walk on down towards the meadow holding hands "Baby, have you thought about the fact that soon, very soon we won't be really alone again for god knows how long. Like twenty five years or so."
"Huh? Surely Teddy won't be living at home at twenty-five."
Christian laughs and pulls me close placing both arms around my hips. "Baby, this is probably not the best time for me to make this statement, but I hope to have several more children so assuming that is the case, we could be tied down with children at home for the next twenty five years."
"Seriously Grey….your right, this is not a good time to talk about more babies." I smile at him. But come on…seriously. This is a man that didn't want any children and now when I am so miserably pregnant he is telling me he is already planning on several more. Those are fighting words.
"Relax, we can wait until Teddy is like six months or so."
"What! Are you crazy?" He smiles at me.
"Not that I know of, but like I said, maybe we should wait to discuss this." He takes my hand and helps me maneuver my way down the steps. "Ana, seriously, think about this. We won't be completely alone again for a long time. I am so excited for Teddy to be here, but let's just enjoy these few minutes alone with each other. Right now, I would venture to say that with our crazy fucked up lives, Teddy is the safest he will ever me right where he is. Once he is born, well you know baby, the world is vicious. Everyone is going to want to know more about our son. The world will want pictures of him. Want to know where he goes to school, if he is a good kid or spoiled brat born into wealth. You know people will want him to fail and they will be watching every move he makes. What college he goes to, who he is fucking, is he a chip off the old block. I wish I could spare him all of this." He turns towards me and rubs his hands through his hair. "My life, our life is about to change. I know as sure as I am standing here that soon, the minute my son takes his first breathe, that my sole mission in life is about protecting this little boy and our future children from all that is bad in the world. I can't always control you Ana, but promise me right now, that you won't fight me when it comes to protecting our children."
I reach up and rub my hands on his whiskers. I like the way his face feels when he hasn't shaved for a day. "I understand Christian, but I want Teddy to have a normal life too."
"Baby, there is nothing normal about this life. We are one of the wealthiest couples in America. People want what we have. They want to hurt me and my family. I will try my best to support you and make sure that Ted and future babies…and Ana there will be future babies…aren't raised to be precocious, demanding spoiled brats. Just because we are wealthy, it doesn't mean my children should have unquestionable privileges. Trust me when I tell you, Elliot and I weren't spoiled. We had to work and give back. I expect my children to do the same. I had to help pay for my first car. You know learn the value of a dollar even though Dad and Mom were pretty well off."
"You didn't mention Mia. Was she spoiled?"
"Is that a serious question? First of all, after two little boys that couldn't even walk past each other without hitting each other, wrestling, burping, farting and all that guy stuff, along comes Mia who looked like a little cherub when she was a baby. She was so girly and my mom was in seventh heaven. So my mom spoiled her. Then there was my dad. She had him so wrapped around her finger from the get go. Daddy's little girl. I don't even know if the word spoiled covers it all." Christian smiles. "Then Elliot was the proverbial big brother, maybe he didn't spoil her per se like everyone else but he protected her, still does with his life. Grams and Gramps…only granddaughter, four rambunctious grandsons…you can imagine. Then there was me." Christian looks out at the sound like he is reminiscing. "She was and always has been so important to me. Because of Mia I started talking and for years the only affection I gave was to Mia. I have spoiled her more than anyone. But I guess in the end she has turned out alright."
We walk through the meadow and down to the water. We sit on one of the benches my dad gave us for Christmas. "Are you thinking about Mia? She seems to be doing so much better and I feel like she will be okay?" I worry about Christian and his feeling about Mia. Ever since she has been sick he has been in fixer mode and pretty absorbed in her care and recovery. He has been diligent about going to see her and yet he never wants to talk about it. I think his pain is so deep that it hurts to talk about it. He has tried to focus on us and at the same time be there for his sister and family.
"I never not think about her. I wake up in the morning and worry about her. When I see its my mom or dad on the phone I am waiting for the other shoe to drop and if she looks the tiniest bit more pale or thinner, I worry. God, it has been tough Ana. I can't tell you how hard this has been. But let's not talk about it baby." He shuts down every time I bring this up. I know he is scared.
"Okay. But she is doing better you see that right?"
"Ana, I can't see what is inside of her. I am petrified about this. I don't know. Please let's just enjoy the weather and nice day." He kisses my hand to minimize the sting of him shutting me out. "Let's talk about Teddy. Tell me how you picture him."
I smile because I can describe this little boy to a tee without having him out of my womb. "He will have copper wavy hair, maybe curly as you have wavy hair and I…well I am a mat of curls if I don't straighten it. He will have your gray eyes and hopefully my personality." He looks appalled.
"What's wrong with me baby?"
"Oh nothing but I can do without your temper and controlling ways in a toddler." He laughs despite himself. "What do you think he will look like?"
"Funny, I would like him to have more of your looks but I know this kid is going to come out and be my mini me. I don't know why I know that, but I do and you know secretly I hope that is the case. Nothing will make me more proud than to have my son look just like me. It will make a statement. My wife….my son."
I take a deep breath. "Why is that so important to you Christian? To make a statement like that."
"Because it make my life normal and it confirms that I am loved. That this beautiful woman loved me enough to have my child and see him….yea that's right…he really is all mine." Oh my poor fifty. So confident and yet so insecure.
We get up and walk towards the gym. Benson follows us inside. Christian turns on the lights and leaps and grabs a pull up bar and proceeds to do about fifty pull ups. Oh my god. I watch his strong arms and with each pull up his shirt creeps up and I see his muscular stomach and happy trail. Warning…very horny pregnant woman here. He finishes and jumps down.
"Feel the need to get me excited Grey?"
"Oh you like what you see?"
"Always. I wonder if I could do that if I wasn't pregnant." Christian smiles.
"No you couldn't and if you could let's just say you wouldn't be my type." I guess I should have known that. "Come on, let's get in the pool."
"I don't have a suit down here with me. I guess I should keep one in the changing room." Although the thought of floating in the pool taking my weight off my body sounds like something that would feel good. "Is the water warm?"
"Of course, and don't worry about your suit. We don't need anything on. It's just us." He picks up the house phone. "Sawyer, turn off the cameras and sound….I am not asking you….okay fine hurry up." He looks at me and takes my hand and we walk over to the pool. He presses a switch and the retractable roof opens. It is a warm day and the sun feels good. "Sawyer won't turn off the cameras or sound unless I have my phone down here. He is also going to stand outside. " I am not surprised.
"He's just doing his job Christian."
"I know. Just surprised he refused to listen to me." We wait a few minutes and then Sawyer enters with Christian's phone. He hands it to him and shakes his head.
"Both your phones have been vibrating like crazy. Your brother wants you to call him as soon as you can. He called me when he couldn't reach you."
Christian acknowledges Sawyer and looks at his phone. "Fuck, ten missed messages. What the fuck. NO EVERYONE! WE HAVE NOT HAD THE BABY!" I giggle as Christian yells up to the sky.
"Thank you for getting me out of the house and for the walk." I walk over to him and put my arms around him.
"Come on, let's get naked and get in the water."
We both undress and Christian dives in and then stands by the ladder as I climb in. I guess he is afraid that clutzy me will fall. Our outdoor pool isn't finished but it will have a shallow end and walk down steps. This pool is strictly a lap pool with just a ladder to enter the pool or the other option is to dive in. I giggle when I get a picture of me diving in with my big belly.
The water feels good and Christian immediately turns me around and guides my legs up around him carrying me to the side of the pool. Oh this is nice. I am able to balance my weight against him and I feel like I am floating. The pressure and baby weight has temporarily disappeared. I giggle when I pull pack and see my naked breast floating on the water.
"Does this feel good?"
"Oh yes so good." Christian tells me to lean back and he stretches me out in the water on my back holding me. This feels good to but I rather liked it when he was holding me with my legs wrapped around him. I stand back up, my face and hair wet and look into his grey eyes.
"God Ana, you are so beautiful."
"I don't feel beautiful. But thank you." I kiss his shoulders and rest my head as he leans against the side and squats a bit. He pulls my head up and we stare at each other without speaking and I kiss his damp lips softly. My large belly is resting against him and he smiles as Teddy kicks quite hard. Our many soft butterfly kisses start taking on a new life and we are both feeling the heat of our passion.
"I want you Ana, are you comfortable?"
"Yes, actually more comfortable than I have been. This was a great idea, it feels great." He reaches down and only grazes my nipples and breast. I think he is afraid I might start leaking again. I can feel his erection floating against me and I kiss and suck on his neck as he softly massages my legs and behind, grazing my folds without giving me what I so desperately need. I can feel my wetness even in the depths of the tepid pool water. I look up at him.
"Take me. Please." I almost ache to have him inside of me but for a few more seconds he rubs against me making me almost cry in need before he plunges in me. I wrapped my legs around him tighter and hold the gutters of the pool so that I can maximize my friction. Oh god in heaven this feels amazing and it is so comfortable that I wonder why we didn't come out here sooner. Christian is holding my body weight while slamming into me hard but slowly.
"Is this good baby? Is this what you wanted? Tell me how good this makes you feel."
"Ah Christian, it is so good. So good."
"You want this to last or do you want me to get you off now and fuck you senseless."
"Make it last. I can feel every inch of you, god this feels so good… I oh god Christian I ….put my head back and reach my climax. Christian is still going strong and he takes control of my hips moving me faster and harder while whispering dirty naughty verbiage in my ear. "Does your hot pussy like this baby? Do you like my dick slamming into you Ana? God baby don't clench like that…baby oh fuck your squeezing me….oh baby girl yes that's it." Christian throws his head back as he finds his own release. We hold each other a few more minutes and then decide it is time to get out as I am starting to get cold. We get out of the pool and Christian runs to the changing room to gets some towels that we forgot to get earlier.
We laugh as we dry off about needing to throw some more chemicals in the pool in case any of his swimmers escaped. I have a robe in my closet off to the bathroom, although this is the first time I have used it here in the gym. I put the robe on and Christian gets re-dressed. After shutting everything down we head back to the house and Christian calls Elliot back.
"What's up and so fucking important that you had to call me six times." He has him on speaker. "What's that noise? Is that a kid yelling? Where are you?"
"I am at my house. Take me off speaker dude." Christian looks at me and shrugs. Elliot sounds anxious.
"What's wrong Elliot?" I see Christian's eyes get bigger. "What? That isn't possible you know that...That is bullshit she is just trying to fuck with you." He looks over at me and turns around talking softer… "What the fuck Elliot? I can't do that without telling her...When is she expected home?...Well fuck Elliot, I am going to end up in the fucking dog house over this too. Call the cops….okay I get that….fine ….fuck Elliot you fucking owe me. God damn it…Let me get Welch on the phone and tell him to get over here too…You might want to get the old man on the phone….dad or gramps either one…no make that dad, gramps will kick your ass….well fuck Elliot you just can't hide this from them….I know he isn't but then why did she dump him off …but I don't know if you and I are the best two to handle this… Yea, okay fine." Christian hangs up, rubs his hair furiously and looks at me.
"What is going on Christian?"
"Um we don't have any plans today or tonight do we?"
"No just labor I hope. Why?"
"Umm…we need to babysit for an hour or two?"
"Babysit? Who in the world are we babysitting and what does this have to do with your brother?" Christian pushes his hair back and blows out a bunch of air.
"It's kind of a long story baby and we just need to take care of this kid until Elliot has a chance to talk to Kate privately. She is out with her mom talking to a florist for the wedding and will be home in an hour."
"Fine Christian but why does Elliot have a kid for us to babysit? Whose is it?"
Christian cringes. "Umm well apparently his."
So next Chapter will give Christian a glimpse of parenthood by babysitting a wild child. Thought it would be fun for Ana and Christian to see just what they have gotten themselves into. As for the kid…don't panic everyone…
