hey everyone here is chapter 44 hope you all enjoy sorry again for the delay between work, my son, rugby and actually sleeping i dont get much of a chance to write but thankfully School started again today so fingers crossed ill be able to write more :-D
I am woken by what feels like water dripping on my face, now the last time I checked we was in Christians Childhood bedroom at Grace and Carrick's place in Bellevue so why the hell would water be dripping on me. I slowly open my eyes adjusting them to the sunlight blazing through the large arch shaped window and look at the source in front of me stands a clown…..this is one secret I thought I'd never have to share I'm petrified of clowns tall ones short ones fat ones skinny ones bolting out of bed I do what I come to do best when facing a clown….kick the crap out of them, two kicks in the legs then one final blow to the groin and he is down
"Fuck Ana it's me" the clown splutters keeled over
"Elliot?" I ask looking for any sign that it is him
"Oh my god where did you learn that ninja shit" he hisses through the pain he is in
"Err my dad, oh Elliot I'm so sorry I didn't realise it was you" I say apologetically whilst holding my hand out for him to take just as Christian and Kate walks in
"What the fuck happened?" Christian asks bewildered from the sight in front of him
"Your wife went all ninja on my ass" Elliot says between deep breaths still holding himself tight
"Ana?" Christian says looking to me then Elliot and back to me
"It's not my fault…well it is but-"
"She is shit scared of clowns always has been" Kate says walking over to me "I told you it wasn't a good idea Elliot"
"Yeah you could have told me why it wasn't a good idea"
"Would you have listened?"
"Probably not" he replies to Kate standing up
"if I had known it was you Elliot I wouldn't have done it I promise you" which is true I wouldn't have but how the hell was I supposed to know he is dressed in way too many colours and as for his face its white with big drawn on frown in red along with a lot of blue around the eyes and a big green frizzy wig
"Stop worrying I'm fine-ish" he says trying to discretely reposition his manhood
"Can I ask something?" I say looking at Elliot
"Sure"
"Why are you dressed as a clown…did I not get the memo or something?" I ask him slightly confused
"every boxing day we go to the paediatrics ward where mom works and I put on a show for the kids been doing it for as long as I can remember although only the last three or four I been dressed as a clown and performing" he laughs while telling me the latter part
"I see so what exactly will we be doing?" I ask looking at Christian who if I'm not mistaken still seems amused I just kicked his brother's ass
"Just go in say hi to some of the kids that's it" Christian replies straightening himself
"Oh ok….I think"
"What's wrong?" Kate asks me placing her hand on my shoulder
"Huh nothing it's just I'm not sure how well ill cope with all them sick children" I whisper while rubbing soft circles on my tummy
"You will be fine we will all be there" she smiles at me incorrigibly
"Ok well give me fifteen minutes to sort myself out and I'll be right down" I tell them ushering Kate and Elliot out the bedroom door
"You sure you're ok baby?" Christian asks placing his hands on my hips
"I'm fine Christian" I smile before reaching up as he leans down and kissing him
"Good morning baby" he mumbles between kisses
"Morning to you too" I reply before pulling back "now if you don't mind I have to go make myself presentable for the children" I smile heading into the en-suite
Once I had my shower and got myself ready I make my way into the kitchen where everyone is casually seated or standing leaning against the units talking about the plans today
"Ah good morning Ana sweetheart" Grace smiles as she walks over to me giving me a loving hug
"Good morning something smells good" I reply with a smile
"That will be the chocolate pancakes Mia insisted on having" Grace says making her way back to the stove "what can I make for you darling"
"Can I have the same please only can I have sliced strawberries too and some cream" I ask her blushing as all eyes descend on me
"of course you can now sit…Carrick make Ana a cup of tea…no no not them teabags the twinning's English breakfast ones" she says pointing to the varied packages In the cupboard
"Umm Mia once you have finished that can we go for a walk?" Ethan asks her from the left hand side of me
"Sure" she says unfazed by the nervousness in the question
"Here you go darling" Carrick says placing a steaming hot cup of tea in front of me
"Thank you Carrick" I smile up at him while Christian sits next to me
"So chocolate and strawberry pancakes huh?" he whispers in my ear
"Blips idea not mine who am I to refuse" I grin
"Enjoy sweetheart" Grace says as she hands me a plate of pancakes with the chocolate and strawberries
"Yum thank you" I say before sticking my knife and fork in and start devouring it
"Ok finished want to go for that walk now?" Mia asks Ethan who just nods his head "won't be long" Mia says as they head out to the back porch
"What's that all about?" Christian asks us all
"I don't know" I say sticking another mouthful of pancakes in my mouth
"Me either" Both Kate and Elliot shrug
"We will soon find out" Carrick grins
"He isn't…is he?" Elliot says almost shocked
"Who knows" Carrick smiles tapping his nose with his finger
"He is oh my god" Kate exclaims putting her hand to her mouth quickly then moving it again "she will say yes wont she?"
"Let's just wait and see shall we" Grace tells us while she takes a sip of coffee
A long and painful twenty minutes later Mia and Ethan join us again both grinning ear to ear
"Mom, dad… everyone we have something to share with you" Mia beams while we all try and look as impassive as possible although it's proving a challenge for both myself and Kate. Mia and Ethan both look at each other then nod
"We're getting married" they yell happily to us all
We all give them hugs and our congratulations except Elliot and Christian who decide to give Ethan a stern warning that went along the lines of 'hurt our sister in anyway what so ever Kavanagh and they will need to tube feed you for a long fucking time' that made Ethan laugh nervously mind it could be the fact the threat was issued by a clown! He quickly stopped once he looked at Christian but the threat alone caused Mia to hit both brothers in the arm followed by myself and Kate doing the same
"What they mean is….'congratulations Ethan we both hope you will be very happy together and please look after her' isn't that right" I say giving both brothers an evil glare
"Yeah erm what she said" Elliot mumbled looking down at the floor
"My wife is correct that is what we meant" Christian says coping Elliot's actions
"There we go" I smile confidently as Kate and Mia give me the thumbs up
"Well I'm afraid we will have to continue this celebration later because right now we are due at the hospital we all ready?" Grace says wiping away a happy tear
The drive to the hospital is full of laughter and jokes Sawyer is driving while Elliot is in the passenger seat and Kate is in the back with me and Christian
"Ok here's one" Elliot says "Why did Buttons the clown plant bird seeds in the back yard?"
"No idea"
"She wanted to grow birds" he says laughing
"Anymore?" Christian says chuckling
"What scarier than being chased through an abandoned circus late at night by a crazed naked clown?" he says "The Clown having a boner"
"Ok I'll admit it that was funny" Kate laughs along with me
"What do you call 2 Clowns driving around in a Christmas truck full of dildos?"
"Don't know what you call them" Kate says
"Toys for Twats" Elliot grins "Why aren't you allowed to incinerate clowns?"
"Because they burn funny" we all answer
"Ok how about this one …What happened to the elephant who ran away with the circus?"
"The police made him to bring it back" I answer giggling "ray used to tell me that one"
"Did you hear about the human cannonball?" Elliot says looking at me now expecting me to answer him who am I to refuse hehe
"Easy…he got fired" I grin
"Dammit"
"You're not going to tell this to the kids are you?" Kate asks mockingly
"Maybe some of them….the kids version jokes"
"Ok well we are here" Christian states as we park up in front of the entrance of the hospital
"Before we go in what about this one Ana…..Why was the clown sad?"
"Simple….she broke her funny bone" I giggle at him as I head out of the car
"Fancy being my assistant?" Elliot asks walking with us in through the doors towards the elevator
"As much of great opportunity that would be Elliot I will have to decline" I smirk
"Yeah probably a good idea actually don't think the bro be too happy with me cutting his wife in half"
"Please for the love of god tell me you're not?" I say looking at Kate
"Good god no" she states
"Thank god for that" I sigh
"Hey I could do it you know?" Elliot pouts
"Could do what?" Carrick asks as he, Grace, Mia and Ethan join us as the doors to the elevator open
"Cut Kate in half in my magic show" Elliot smiles broadly as we enter the elevator and make our way to the 3rd floor
"Elliot you are NOT cutting anyone in half" Grace tells him sternly
"Ok I wasn't going too just saying I could" he says waving his hands defensively
"And Elliot no locking yourself in chests this year please" Grace pleads as we reach the 3rd floor and step out
"Hey now that would have been fine if you hadn't all forgot about me for over an hour" he says pointing at all involved both Mia and Christian both wearing huge grins on the faces
"What happened?" I whisper to Christian as we make our way down a hall to paediatrics
"He locked himself in a chest was in there for over an hour when we remembered he was still in there we opened it to find him passed out he was ok after a couple minutes" he tells me
"Oh"
"Hey look at him he is fine don't worry, besides this is Elliot he always doing something stupid" he smirks down at me
"Well yes that is true" I chuckles
We make our way round the ward visiting the children talking and playing toys with them before sitting on the floor with them to watch Elliot's 'clown show' which the kids seems to love he even did animal shaped balloons for them all including a giraffe for me which I placed on the nurses' station
"You are fucking kidding me" I hear Christian yell making me turn to glare at him but he isn't looking at me "I don't give a fuck sort it out"
"Christian Grey" I hiss getting his attention
"He swore that's a dollar in the swear jar" a little girl about 5 or 6 said tugging at my skirt
"I know some people are rude" I say smiling at her "if you will just excuse me for a moment" I tell her standing up
"Please don't leave" she says as her bottom lip starts trembling
"I'll be right back sweetheart I'm just going to have a word with the big mean man who is swearing" I smile
"Ok don't belong" she shouts as I walk towards Christian
"What the hell" I whisper harshly at him
"I'm sorry it's just-"
"I don't care what it is its boxing day god dammit put the phone away or I swear to god it will go for a flying lesson out that window" I hiss
Walking to a jar on the nurses' station labelled 'Swear jar' I pull out my purse and all the notes in it which comes to $430 and place it in the jar
"Thought she said a dollar" Christian states
"Are you kidding me right now? All the money you got and you're grumbling about $430 which will be going to these children might I add"
"Ok calm down I was joking" he says defeated
"I'll show you joking" taking out my check book that is at the bottom of my handbag I write out a check for $100,000 and donate it to the ward knowing full well my bank balance keeps growing thanks to Mr Controlling
"This is too much, I don't know what to say" Grace says shocked
"Don't say anything this is because he can't stop swearing in front of children" I say point to Christian who looks positively seething
"Oh Ana thank you thank you so much"
"I can't believe you just did that" Christian hisses at me
"Believe it Grey now if you don't mind I'm going to go and finish watching the show with that little girl" I say waving to the little girl from before
"This isn't over"
"Oh if you value your balls Grey it is" I say before walking off
