Disclaimer I own nothing 50. Just having fun writing this story. Thanks so much for reading. I updated my Pinterest. My username is moonyblue0818.
Grace, Sofia, Kate and Ginny have been planning a baby shower for Ana & Christian for the last two months. They had decide to do a co-ed baby shower. Not because Christian or Ana asked them to do it that way. But because the further along Ana got and with Jose still out there, Christian never wanted Ana out of his sight. The women thought it was sweet and his Dad and Godfather were proud of him. The more Mac saw those two togather the more he knew Christian was the only one for his baby girl. An it had nothing to do with him being his godson. It was because of the way Christian loved and cared for his baby girl. What he saw between those two can only be described as true love. A love that will never be broken.
Ana will be 30 weeks the day of the party so they decided to throw it at Grace's house. It would just be easy for everyone. They thought Ana would be more comfortable and they knew the men will go crazy if they said they wanted to have the party in a public location. They did not invite many guests because of the threat against Ana & Christian. Also seeing as Ana has only meet a handful of the men that works for the Grey's, they only invited a very select few. It was kind of funny they would be more men then women at the party. In there opinion they was only one possible theme for the party. It would be Princess themed with a slight twist. Instead of Pink everything like normal Princess parties, they would do royal purple. They knew Ana hates pink.
Ana & Christian knew that the ladies where planning a co-ed baby shower. Other then that, they knew nothing else about the shower. Not even where or when the shower would take place. The party planners had everything planned out in fine detail. Grace had a friend of hers order a cake from Marcos for her 25th anniversary. Her friend asked Ana what day she would be making the cake and about how long would it take to make it. She told Ana she loved watching those cake baking compositions and she is very curious on how long it takes Ana to make her amazing cakes.
The day Ana chose todo the cake, that evening would be the shower. They set this up so Ana & Christian would be out of the way and would not show up early and ruin the surprice. It was around 9 am the last Saturday in march. Ana & Christian where headed to Marco's. As this was happening Kate arrived at her in - laws. They had a lot to do and only a few hours to do it in. Ana told Grace's friend it would take about five hours to do the cake. That included the baking and decorating. So the night before the shower Grace had called Christian & Ana and invited them over for a late lunch the next day. After all it was no secret that they would be at Marco's .
Christian never turned down his Mother's cooking. Plus Grace just knew that Ana would not turn it down either. How you may ask she knew this for certain. Because Grace has been 30 weeks pregnant not once, not twice but three times. An when her Mother or Mother in - law offered to cook she took them up on it every time. ( Grace's parents were murdered not long after she got pregnant with Jason.) She never turned down help, so she could relax.
Kate had hide all the decorations at her house. Because it was less likely Ana or Christian would find them there. They very rarely went there. Because if they all got togather to do stuff as a family it was always done at Bellevue. When Christian takes over as head of they family a week after his and Ana's vowel renewal all family events will take place at Christian and Ana's home. It would be about 2:30 pm when Ana should be done with the cake. So Grace told them the late lunch would be done around three.
Bellevue About 9:30 am
Grace was in her Kitchen just starting the food that would be served at the baby shower. Kate was doing up the decorations. Sofia & Ginny where busy making the cake up. The baby shower will not have a traditional cake. They wanted to make sure they also incorporate things Christian liked. Not just what Ana likes. Knowing Christian loved the cannolis that where made at his wife's bakery, they made a secret order for 75 cannolis with Andrea. (The lady that manages Ana's bakery) They had brought a 4 layer cake plater. They also got two cake toppers to stick in two of the cannolis on the top layer. One said little and the other said Princess.
Marcos
Christian parked in the back parking lot for Marco's. They had so many CPOs with them, 90% of the parking lot was full. Ana & Christian walked hand and hand in to the bakery. Ana was gonna set Christian up in her office he had some paper work to work on. As they walked throw the kitchen to get to her office, Ana made up a plate of Cannolis for her husband. Ana got him settled in the office and then headed back in to the kitchen. Normally Ana would ask Andrea or one of her other employees to bake the cakes she needed before hand. But this is a special cake for a good friend of her Mother in-law/ Godmothers friend. It took maybe a half hour to get the cakes in the oven. Then she made a cup of black coffee for her husband and took it to him.
Thanks Princess.
Ana sat on the love seat in her office and put her feet up. Christian got up and walked over to his wife and started to rub her shoulders.
Thant feels so good Christian.
Christian walked over picked up Ana's legs and sat down, resting her feet on his lap. Christian took her shoes off and started to rub her feet. As Christian was doing this Ana started to talk.
I know we have another three months before your birthday Christian. But what would you like for your birthday dear?
Christian thought about what his wife just asked for a minute. Still rubbing Ana's feet. Then he looked lovingly in to his Princess Eyes.
Princess, baby you are giving me the greatest gift of all time. They is nothing you could ever do to top that.
Ana leaned in for a little kiss. As she pulled back she said.
I'll keep that in mind Christian, but that is not what I meant. What kind of cake do you what Christian.
Surprice me I love all the cakes you make here, Princess..
Ana & Christian just relaxed till the oven timer went off. Ana got up to put the cakes in the cooler. Then returned to her husband. 15 minutes later the timer went off and this time Christian followed Ana in the kitchen with his work. Did you really think he was gonna stay in that office. Ana set everything up and got to work. Christian tried to work but he keep finding himself just staring at his beautiful and talented Princess.
Ana did not look up from the cake but she could feel her husbands eyes on her. She smiled then spoke with out taking her eyes off the cake she was working on.
Christian do you not have work to do yourself?
Yes, but I have something more important to do right not.
What is that to gawk mindlessly at your pregnant wife making white roses.
Christian just smirked at his wife. He could tell his Princess was being playful. He got up and walked around the counter. An he put his arms around his wife and placed his hands lovingly on her belly.
No Silly, I've been trying to figure out how in the world I got so fuckin lucky to be able to call you my wife.
Ana smiled then turned around on her stool and put arms around Christian's neck. Just as they lips touched they heard the bell that signaled someone came in the store. Christian kissed her forehead and then stepped to the side. As Ana walked to the front of the bakery ,he grabbed another Cannoli. As he walked on to the main area of the bakery, he saw his wife staring opened mouth at the man in front of her. Christian placed his hand on his wife's shoulder and spoke.
Princess what's wrong?
Ana tore her stair away from the man to look at her husband. An in an almost like child's voice in a whisper in her husbands ear.
Ray
Christian's head turned fast in the direction of the man. He looked kinda nervous, but he started to talk.
I'm sorry to be so forward but I had to meet you. I saw you a few weeks ago as I was leaving my son's house across the street. You remind me so much of a sweet little girl I once knew. I know you can't be her she died very young. But it's kinda nice to see what she may have looked liked if she was still here. My Name is….
But before he could finish his statement Ana spoke.
Ray Steele
Ray was kinda shocked. How did this young women know his name.
Now you have me at a lose Miss. Do I know you?
Yes a long time ago. It's me Ana.
Ray went ghost write. He looked like he was going to pass out. Christian walked around the counter and helped Ray to a seat. Ana handed him a cold bottle of water. After Ray recovered a little, he spoke.
Carla told me you died. She said you where hit by a car. Why did she lie to me?
I don't know Ray she was a sick & twisted women who lied about a lot of things when I was little.
What do you mean Annie?
Ana looked nervously at her husband. She did not know what to say to him. So Christian told Ray for her.
Carla was not her birth mother, she was her kidnapper.
Ray was in shock.
I truly thought I loved her Ana when we were married. After we where married a year she started to get really mean & nasty. I could not take it anymore. After we split I begged and pleaded with her for months, for her to let me see you. After six months that's when she told me you died.
Christian was holding Ana as she listened to Ray talk. Ana looked at the clock. She had to finish the cake soon, so they could make it in time for lunch.
Ray I would like you to meet my husband Christian.
The men shook hands.
I can't believe my little Annie has a husband and a baby on the way.
Ray said gesturing to her belly. Ana & Christian smiled big. Christian's hand on her belly.
I'm 30 weeks and we are having a baby girl.
Now Ray had a smile.
Ray I would love to talk to you more, but I have a cake to finish. Would you mind coming in to the kitchen with us.
I would love to Ana.
Ana, Christian & Ray had a really good time just talking as Ana worked. By the time they left for Christian's parents house, they set up a day for Ray to come for dinner at they house. They where sure Mac & Christian's parents would love to meet Ray.
Bellevue 2:45 pm
Christian & Ana pulled in to the drive way of his parents house. Christian grabbed Ana's left hand & kissed her rings.
How are you doing Princess?
I'm good Christian. That was so nice to see the only man that I thought cared about me when I was little.
I know Princess. An with any luck the information he gave us about your former home in Portland, will lead us to Jose some how.
Christian got out of the car and walked over to his wife's side and opened the door for her. Then they walked hand and hand in to the house.
SURPRISE
Ana & Christian where trully surprised. Christian's brother's and they girls where there. Luke, John and CJ where standing by the desert table. They grandparents, Christian's parents & Ana's Dad and brothers where also around the living room. As soon as CJ spotted them, he darted to them. An in a blink of an Eye Christian had him in his arms. As he kissed CJ's cheek, Ana kissed his other cheek. CJ rubbed his Auntie's belly and spoke.
How's my Princess doing Auntie Ana?
Ana & Christian smiled. Every since CJ found out Ana was pregnant & haveing a girl, he has taken to calling his God sister "His Princess". Mac had joked that one day his Granddaughter may be CJ's princess & wife. After all Christian married his God Sister. Sure he did not know that at the time. Christian actual said the idea may grow on him. One day if CJ asked him to date his baby girl, he very well may say yes. Ana answered CJ's question.
CJ your Princess is doing really good. You know it will not be long till you get to meet her in person.
Just as Ana said that, CJ's Princess kicked and he felt it. The smile on his face grew. CJ leaned over & kissed Ana's belly. Christian put CJ down & he ran to his dads. An told them his Princess gave him a high five.
It was nice that not many of the men that worked for them was there. Christian & the other men did not have to put on they tough guy image. They where able to relax and even played the baby shower games with the ladies. Like most things they made it in to a contest just between them. Like who could identify the most baby foods. Grace actual won that game, but when it came to the men's contest against each other Carrick won. The baby changing game had Ana in fits of giggles. Ana was the fastest changing a diaper, but the men did the game another 4 times. They were so focused to get it done fastest and done the right way. Kinda like a nascar pit crew changing a tire mid race.
They also played the belly measuring game. Kate had walked around the room with a string and scissors. Everyone had to guess how much string was need to fit around Ana's belly. Christian of course won that. After all Christian knew Ana's body better then even Ana herself. The special cake was gone in a blink of an eye. The ladies where lucky they each got one cannoli. Even CJ got three.
Everyone had a really great time. Around 8 Ana feel a sleep on the love seat. Christian carried her up to his old bedroom. They would stay the night. Christian did not join Ana right away. He went down to help clean up. His Princess was safe & sound. An he thanked the women with a hug and a kiss on the cheek each. Around 10pm he said good night to his family. He went to his room and cuddled up next to his wife & fell asleep with a smile on his face.
