"Grace, I want to thank you so much for finding time to come out to see us. We really value your opinion and seeing your pediatric ward in Seattle, we want to be able to offer the same extremely high-quality care and offer our children and their families the absolute best whilst they are here with us."

"There's no need to thank me Alison. We are both professionals and I believe we should all be working the same high standards and working as a team, none of this rivalry nonsense you see floating around some hospitals between other hospitals and departments. I love what you have done with the ward, it's both so inviting and calming for the children and their families. I forgot for a second where I was because it looks nothing like a hospital. You've really out done yourself and you and all the members of staff who helped build this vision should be so incredibly proud." Grace told her with a smile as they walked through the hospital corridors. At first Grace was hesitant to come to New York to see the new children's ward with everything going on at home, but Carrick convinced her to go, promising to keep an eye on Christian and Ray. Ana's death had been hard for all of them, but seeing how heartbroken her son was, as well as Ray, broke her own heart. Seeing people, you love hurting in the most painful way was a heart-breaking experience, one she never wanted to relive again any time soon.

"I'm sorry to interrupt." Came a nurse's voice as she appeared beside them. "Dr Andrews, Jane Doe is starting to come around …do you want to try and talk to her or should we add more sedation for a little longer?"

"How does she seem, Jenny?"

"She's clearly still experiencing a lot of discomfort, but she's not screaming out in pain, but she still is sedated to an extent, it's slowly wearing off." She explained softly.

Dr Andrews nodded. "Okay, try and at least get her name from her. I hate not knowing who she is, I'm sure she has a family looking for her. Let's try and keep the sedation light so we can try and take away the discomfort but I still want her aware of what is happening to and around her. Any news from orthopaedics?"

"Dr Lang should be down before in a couple of hours. He's currently in surgery. He's eager to get her into surgery after seeing her x-rays."

"Thank you, Jenny. Try and make her comfortable, I shall be along shortly to try and have a little chat with her."

The nurse nodded before turning to leave and headed back down the corridor.

"Jane Doe?" Grace asked curiously. She had experienced her fair share of Jane Doe's over the years and it was such a sad time.

Alison nodded and gestured for Grace to follow her. "She was found outside the hospital last night by a member of staff coming onto the night shift. Despite it being summer the nights are still a bit cold, and well even colder for her considering she was just in a vest and shorts and no shoes." She shook her head. "According to the doctor on the night shift she was in excruciating pain and they had to sedate her heavily just to see what was wrong. They did an x-ray and her left arm is completely…well it's been broken in a number of places but it was done about a year ago, maybe less and it's clearly not been treated and hasn't healed correctly or in the place it should, her shoulder was also dislocated and haven't been put back in properly and fluid has gathered around the area so we've had to drain it a few times throughout the day." She sighed and shook her head. "I personally think she's been a victim of abuse."

"Have you called the police?" She asked walking beside her, horrified by what she has been told. That poor girl.

Alison scoffed. "Until we have a name and know what has happened to her, they aren't interested. An officer came down and had a look at her but they just saw her as a runaway teen."

"How old do you think she is?" Grace asked curiously to her.

"I'd say around seventeen? It's hard to say considering the shape she's in but she's young. And painfully thin. It's heart breaking." She shrugged a little before they came to a stop outside her room. Looking through the glass she sighed. "Dr Lang looked at her x-ray, he's the head of the orthopaedics department here in the hospital , he thinks her arm is going to have to be completely reset if she ever wants to ever get full use out of it, probably why he's eager to get her into surgery sooner rather than later."

"Poor girl." Grace whispered before she then looked through the window to the girl. Seeing the nurses attending to her she couldn't help but smile seeing they were trying to be gentle as possible with her. As one nurse moved and Grace could see the young girl, her mouth instantly dropping, the colour draining from her face. "Oh my god…" She whispered before she then rushed into the room and over to the bed, the tears pooling in her eyes as she looked to the fragile girl in front of her. She had to make sure she wasn't seeing things. "Ana…sweetheart…" She whispered to her. "Ana open your eyes for me." She begged looking to her. She had no idea how this was possible. Her eyes raked over Ana's body, making sure this was her.

"Grace…" Came the croaked voice.

"It's me, sweetheart. I'm here. You're safe. Open those beautiful eyes for me." She whispered, the tears flowing freely down her face. As bright blue eyes fluttered open, Grace let out a sob as she gently took Ana's hand in hers. It was her. It was their Ana.

"Grace you know this girl?" Alison asked as she looked to the pair of them.

Grace nodded as she tore her eyes from Ana and looked to Alison. "Her name is Anastasia Steele. She's my son's fiancée. She was in a car accident going back nearly a year ago, she went straight through the windscreen, we presumed she went into the river….her body was never recovered, the coast guard said the current of the river had probably taken her into the Pacific and the odds were next to nothing in finding her…"

"Grace…" Ana croaked once more.

Turning her attention back to Ana, Grace smiled as she gently stroked her hair. "I'm here sweetheart. You're going to be okay." She promised pressing a soft kiss to her head.

"Teddy…" Ana whispered, her eyes starting to droop.

Grace frowned a little. "What teddy darling?" Grace asked confused.

"My teddy…" She mumbled as she drifted back off to sleep.

Grace frowned as she stood you straight and looked to Alison. "She keeps asking for her teddy, did she have anything on her when she was bought in?"

Alison frowned. "Not that I'm aware of…" She replied before grabbing Ana's chart from the end of the bed and opening it up and reading through her notes. "Oh my god…" Alison mumbled as she looked to Grace.

Grace looked to her. "What? What is it?"

"She was found with a baby…"

Grace looked to her completely shocked. After a moment of silence, she looked to Ana before back to Alison. "How old?"

"They think around maybe ten weeks…he's been moved up to the baby unit because he was cold and they needed to bring his temperature up. He was only in a nappy wrapped in a t-shirt."

Grace's brain went into overdrive. She had so many things she needed to do right now, but the main question running through her head was how the hell did Ana end up in New York with a new born baby? Grace looked to Ana. She was thin. Painfully thin. Her hair dirty, the bags under her eyes evident, like she hadn't had a decent sleep in months, never mind weeks. Then Alison's words came into her mind. Found in shorts and a vest with no shoes. Ana hadn't run away. She was taken. Taken from Christian. Taken from Ray. Taken from them and she had run from her captors with her baby. Looking to Alison Grace took a deep breath. "Would it be possible for someone to bring the baby down?" Grace asked looking to her. "I fear they both might be in danger. I'm going to contact Ana's father and my husband…what are the odds of Ana being flown home to Seattle?"

Listening to Grace, Alison gave a nod. "Of course. Jenny would you be so kind and to go and collect the baby, bring him down in the incubator and we will plug him in down here. Also find some formula milk for him also, lets presume the patient has been breastfeeding him, double check when he was last fed, he might be due a feed soon." She looked to Grace. "Until her arm is sorted, I'd say very minimal. The pressure in the air would be too much. Do you want me to call the police?" She asked.

Grace was having an internal battle. Should she call the police or let Ray and Carrick sort this out? She didn't know what had happened to Ana but it was clear she had been through something horrific as well as delivering her baby in wherever she was being held. She gave a nod. "I think maybe there should be an officer outside…. just in case. I need to keep them safe until I can get them home."

Alison nodded. "I'll get right on it." She promised as she left the room, closing the door behind her.

Taking a deep breath, Grace looked over to Ana and headed over to her. Grabbing a chair, she sat next to Ana and gently took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Ana." She whispered to her. "Ana open your eyes for me."

Eyes fluttering open, Ana smiled weakly to Grace. "You're here. I'm not dreaming."

Grace nodded and smiled a teary smile. "I'm here." She whispered. "Ana…I need to know where you've been staying?" She asked her.

Ana's eyes immediately widen, the panic clearly there as she shook her head. "Don't let him get me…please." She begged, the tears pooling in her eyes as she clung onto Grace's hand tightly with her good hand.

"Hey, hey." Grace soothed as she gently rubbed circles on Ana's hand. "You're safe. No one is going to get you." She promised. "But who darling? Tell me who he is. I want to keep you safe."

"M…M... Morton." Ana sobbed as she clung onto Grace's hand tightly.

Grace's face dropped. That monster. Shaking her head, she gave Ana's hand a reassuring squeeze. "You're safe." She promised. As the door opened and the nurse came in with the incubator she looked back to Ana. "I'll be right back." She promised as she got up and headed over to incubator as it was plugged back in. Looking down to the tiny baby, her heart instantly swelled as she looked to what seemed to be…a carbon copy of Christian. He had a full head of hair, the dark locks tinged slightly with copper as it started to curl slightly at the ends. He had Ana's complexion and she could see as his little eyes fluttered open; they were the same as Christian's. Grey. Opening the lid, she gently scooped up the baby. She could feel Ana's eyes on her. Cradling the baby close to her she smiled down to him before she headed back over to Ana and sat back down next to her. Happily gazing down at her grandson she then looked to Ana and smiled. "He's beautiful…" She told her with a smile before looking to the baby once more. "He's like a mini Christian." She looked to Ana. "Is this Teddy?" She asked softly.

Ana gave a little nod as she watched Grace with the baby. She felt exhausted but she didn't want to sleep. She needed to stay awake. Needed to know that she wasn't dreaming. After all this time she finally felt safe. Grace was really here and she wasn't dreaming. "Theodore." She whispered as she blinked back the tears. "I know how much Christian adores Grandpa Theo…and he was like my teddy when he was born. I wouldn't put him down. I couldn't. He was all I had and I was all he had. I had to keep him safe."

"How old is he?"

"He was born on the 28th March."

Quickly working out he date she smiled softly. "Eleven weeks old. He's so small. Did you feed him yourself?"

Ana nodded as the tears flowed freely. "I had too. Morton refused to buy the milk for him. He loathes him. Blames him for not getting what he wanted."

Grace frowned a little as she looked to Ana. "What do you mean? What did he want?"

"Me." Ana whispered. "When he found out I was pregnant…I wasn't 'pure' anymore. He saw me and Teddy as problems. One he couldn't rid of easily. He wanted to get rid of him, but I couldn't let that happen. He was all I had. The hope that maybe one day someone would find me. Find us." She mumbled.

Listening to her, Grace felt the goosebumps raise on her skin. Morton wanted Ana. Listening to Ray talk about him in the past, it was obvious there was something more with Morton. More than being a murderer. At her last comment, Grace looked to her sadly. "Ana, we thought you were dead." She whispered with a sigh. "When the accident happened…. we thought you ended up in the river. When they couldn't find your body, we were told you'd probably been taken into the Pacific by the current. There were slim chances of finding of you…"

"He planned it all." Ana mumbled looking to her. "The accident…he spent a long time planning it. He told me. Even paid some guy to get drunk and hit Kate's car. He was tracking me. Watching my every move."

Grace felt sick as she listened to Ana. For someone to think of something so cunning and deceptive…they were purely psychotic. "The most important thing now is that you and little Teddy are safe. The police are being called and there is going to be an officer outside the door to protect you both. Plus, I am not going anywhere. I am staying right here by your side with this little guy."

"Is my dad okay?" Ana asked looking to her.

Grace gave a little shrug. "He has his days. He's a grieving father but he's been strong."

"And Christian?"

"He misses you like crazy." She admitted to her. "He's been so sad and so lost since he lost you. But everything is going to be okay because I'm going to call your dad and he is going to be here very soon."

"I've missed him too." Ana whispered, the tears pooling in her eyes. "So much. When Teddy was born…. all I could think about was how Christian didn't know…. how he wasn't there…he's missed out on so much already."

"But he won't miss out on any more." Grace told her with a soft smile. "He's going to be so happy that you are here…and this beautiful little boy is going to be the most cherished and loved boy ever because not only does he have two parents who love him unconditionally…but he's got lots of aunties and uncles and his grandpas and me." She told her with a smile as she gently ran her finger over Teddy's cheek, smiling as he was watching her.

"I'm so tired." Ana mumbled, her eyes going heavy.

"Then sleep. Me and Teddy will be right here." She promised to her before she looked down to Teddy. "Won't we handsome boy?" She cooed before she looked to Ana once more, seeing she had already nodded off she couldn't help but smile. This girl probably hadn't had a decent night's sleep in the eleven months she had been missing. Not only because of who she was with but because of the pain she was in.
As Teddy began to wriggle around slightly in her arms, she couldn't help but smile down to him. He was so beautiful. Looking to the clock she sighed a little. It would be going on nine pm back in Seattle. She needed to call Ray and Carrick. She'd keep the baby news to herself for now but right now she needed to call Ray and inform him that his daughter was in fact, alive.
