Christian POV
I'm not naïve, I know Anastasia is not exactly enthused with the news we are going to parents. I have decided to let her cope with the news and just to be there to support her. I know she will make an amazing mother, I mean look how she's been there for me and taken care of me when I was injured. I just wish that she could see that. I just need to give her time to accept this amazing blessing and be there for her.
Today I came up with a plan to hopefully bring a smile to her face. She has been walking around like she's in a daze since she found out she was pregnant.
"Wake up, baby I have a surprise for you," I say setting down a tray of breakfast for her.
"What time is it," Ana says looking at the window and the sun is just beginning to rise.
"It's just after six, now hurry up and eat and throw on a swimsuit and let's go."
I blindfold her and Taylor and Sawyer drive us down to the marina in Monaco. I walk her down the dock and I take her blindfold off.
"I thought we could go sailing for the day," I say taking in her reaction. I'm thankful she has a true genuine smile on her face. "I wanted to recreate our first date."
"Christian, this is wonderful," she says and kisses me.
I help her on board the sailboat and I prepare to ship off.
Ana POV
Christian has outdone himself once again, I love that we are sailing. It's just perfect. The sun is out and the water looks calm. I've been dying for Christian to take me out on a boat again. I feel bad, all I wanted to do yesterday was lie in bed and Christian just laid next to me not saying anything. I know he is worried about me, but he would do anything for me. I just needed him to hold me and I started to feel better. Finally around dinnertime, I made myself get up and we went out to amazing restaurant in Monaco and then just walked around.
After we are safely out of the marina, I walk over to Christian and throw my arms around his waist.
"Thank you," I say kissing his shoulder. "This is exactly what I needed."
"Well, I'm glad that you said that, now, I think you are due for you first sailing lesson," he says and puts my hands on the wheel.
It's exactly like our first date; I can feel a tear forming in my eye.
Christian is an excellent instructor; it feels so great to be in control since I feel like my life is out of my control right now.
I look back and see Taylor and Sawyer behind us in a little speed boat. I'm glad that they didn't come on board with us, I just wanted complete alone time with my husband today.
We have a delicious picnic lunch and I'm anxious to get back to the steering wheel.
"You're a natural at this, I think I may just have you to buy your own boat," he says from the bow of the boat.
"I may just let you do that, Mr. Grey," I say and smile for the first time and its 100% real.
I've lost complete track of time and when Christian wraps his arms around me, I'm brought back from the little bubble I've formed.
"As much as I want to stay out here, we should head back before it gets too dark."
"Make me a promise, when we get home, we go out on your boat more, I love it out here."
"Promise."
An hour later Christian with the aid of Taylor and Sawyer bring the boat back to the marina and get it secured.
"Dinner?" Christian asks as we walk down the dock back toward the hotel.
"How about we order room service, I have other plans for you husband."
"Baby, wake up, we need to take our seating for landing," Christian says.
I can't believe we are almost back home.
Christian and I both agreed that we are not going to tell any of our family or friends about our little addition until after we confirm everything with the doctor and our appointment is bright and early tomorrow morning. Christian called and secured an appointment the day we found out without my knowledge with the best OBGYN in Seattle.
"Are you sad to be home," Christian asks me as I look down and see the dark streets of Seattle below us.
"A little, I loved having you all to myself," I say and lean over and take his hand.
"Me too."
As we drive home, Taylor takes passes our exit and I wonder where we're going.
"Christian, where are we going?"
"Taking a little detour."
I watch as we continue the drive, Christian has this enormous smile on his face, what does he have up his sleeve I wonder.
We pull into a long driveway and wind around until we reach a magnificent home.
"Christian, where are we?" I ask when he helps me out of the car.
"Another wedding present."
He bought me a house, now he's definitely lost him mind.
"Do you like it?" He says pulling me into the front door. "I thought we needed to make a home for our family and I didn't think Escala was right."
He remains by the front door and I got and explore.
The house is beautiful, it has the old world charm that I love and then I see the view and I nearly run to the window.
"Christian, it's perfect, I love it. When can we move in?"
"Well obviously it needs a little TLC but Elliott is ready to get started if you liked it."
"Liked it? I love it."
"Come here, I want to show you something," he says pulling me up the grand staircase.
He opens the first door on the left.
"This will be our room."
The bedroom is by far, the largest room I've ever seen. I can see all the possibilities. Then I feel Christian pulling me down the hall and then he stops at the door and slowly opens it.
"I thought this could be the baby's room," Christian says almost scared of my reaction.
"I think it's perfect." And then I kiss him.
I couldn't sleep last night, all I could think about was about our doctor's appointment. Now we are waiting for Dr. Greene to come into the room. I've already peed in a little cup and now I'm sitting on the exam table in this uncomfortable paper gown. Christian keeps staring at me and smiling, I think trying to reassure me.
There is a knock on the door and instantly I get nervous.
"Mrs. Grey, I'm Lynda Greene, it's nice to meet you. Christian as always it's great to see you, how's your mother doing?"
Of course, Christian would know our OBGYN, who doesn't he know.
"Now, congratulations are in order, you are indeed pregnant," she says. "Now, let's see just how far along you are."
I inform Dr. Greene that I forgot the pill nearly a month ago.
"Anastasia, now this is going to be painful, more uncomfortable that anything," she says slipping a condom onto I assume is an internal ultrasound wand.
Christian stands up and takes my hand.
Oh my god, this is very uncomfortable. I feel so exposed right now as I lay with my feet up in stirrups.
"Here is your uterus," she says pointing to the screen. "Now, it looks like you are about six weeks along, so your calculation was right."
I can't believe the one time I forget my pill I get knocked up. Thank god I never forgot it before, apparently I'm very fertile.
I don't see anything in the black and white image, am I the only one who doesn't see anything.
"Here are your babies," Dr. Greene says pointing to the screen.
Wait a minute, did she just say babies."
"Excuse me," I say and she looks at me.
"It looks like you are having twins; can you see those two little blinking spots?"
"Yes."
"Those are there heartbeats and from this angle it looks like they are identical. They both have a very strong heartbeat, that's a very good sign."
"Twins." Christian gasps and I feel him squeeze my hand.
"At your next appointment, we will be able to listen to their heartbeats; you are not quite far along enough at this point."
I see her mouth move but I can't make out the words she is actually saying.
I was having a tough time accepting one baby, but now its identical twins; I'm at a complete loss.
Christian kisses my forehead as Dr. Greene completes my examination.
She hands Christian a prescription for prenatal vitamins and we set-up our next appointment and wants us to see a perinatologist because we are having identical twins.
I still haven't said a word even when Dr. Greene gives us the ultrasound images.
After she leaves the room, I still lay there.
"Ana, are you okay? You haven't said anything."
I look down at the image and place my finger over Baby A and Baby B and I start to cry.
"Ana, talk to me."
"These are our babies," I say and start crying.
