Ana POV
Keeping this a secret has been harder that I thought it would be. Christian reads my body better than anyone. I made it through last night, now I just have one hour to go before he leaves to fly out. Keep your shit together Steele! _ Um Grey!
I join Christian for breakfast at the bar where I see Mrs. Jones has prepared granola, fruit, and my favorite tea.
"I wish I didn't have to go to New York. I hate sleeping away from you. Are you sure you'll be okay without me?" he asks rubbing his thumb gently over my knuckles.
"Me too baby. Just think how much fun we will have when you come back though," I wink at him trying to keep things lighthearted. It works… he chuckles at me.
"I can't wait to find out Mrs. Grey," he says kissing me before standing to leave. "Laters Baby," he says walking out with Taylor. I breathe a sigh of relief… I've made it. By the time he's home most of the planning will be done and then we can celebrate. I can't believe we are going to be parents. I take my last bite of granola before leaving to go to work. I feel much better today with at least knowing why I've been so sick. Sawyer has been anticipating every need and has been bringing me snacks to make sure that I don't pass out again. I've been so busy today that before I know it it's time to head home.
I didn't realize pregnancy could make you want to sleep, but boy am I tired. I head to the kitchen for a small snack before I take a nap. I pull the picture of Blip out of the envelope in my briefcase. I love you already little one. Mrs. Jones appears out of nowhere, "Would you like some dinner Mrs. Grey?" she asks ignoring the photo I'm holding.
"Yes please. Something light," I reply. I return my eyes to the photo. "Gail would you like to see Baby Grey?" I ask kindly. She looks up at me and smiles broadly as realization takes root.
"Oh Mrs. Grey… this is fantastic! It's so precious," she says admiring the photo. We grab our bowls and head to the dining room table to eat together. I love that the staff always caters to me when Christian is gone. I've become accustomed to sharing meals with Gail anytime Christian isn't home to eat with me. We sit for the next half hour talking about the baby enjoying our Caesar salads together.
"I'm exhausted Gail. I'm going to lie down. Can you please let Sawyer know that I'm in for the night?" I ask her.
She nods clearing our early dinner plates. "Sleep well Mrs. Grey," she says.
Ana POV
I wake up to the sound of glass breaking in the great room. I can hear Sawyer yelling at someone and then all goes silent. The door to our bedroom bursts open and in walks Jack. My stomach drops… No No No. This can't be happening.
"Hello Ana! Long time no see. Let's go," he smirks eerily. He grabs me by my arm and forces me towards the foyer. I see Sawyer unconscious on the floor in the great room. His head is bleeding, and I can see a rip in his shirt covered in blood. He looks as if he's put up a hell of a fight. Jack takes me down the elevator and shoves me into the back of his van. He ties my hands together and throws me to the van floor before shutting the door and taking off. Don't cry Ana… Don't show weakness!
