Over the next two months, a lot has happened. Some good and some bad. It's mostly good so we try to just focus on that. Our family continues to grow stronger.

Liam will be starting school in a couple of months and I am nervous about this. He's never been around too many kids. I think he will get along with them, though. I guess I'm just a nervous Mommy. Christian and I got him enrolled in a private school out in the Bellevue school district. We took Liam on a tour and he loves it already. His birthday is also coming up right before he starts school. He will officially be 5. He is growing up way too fast.

Sasha is now 21 weeks pregnant. We have just 19 weeks to go. Christian went with her to the 20 week ultrasound last week to find out the gender of the baby. He said that Sasha refused to look at the screen of the ultrasound machine, which he just found strange. I have to agree. Christian called me as soon as he left the doctor's office to let me know that he and I were having a girl. I was surprised that he said it like that instead of saying 'we' as in him and Sasha. He was overly excited and I am as well. I can't wait to hold a beautiful baby girl. She should be having the baby in about 4 and a half months.

Sasha has been surprisingly calm between us and she has finally had a professional dye her hair back to blonde with some chemicals that are safe for the baby. I haven't seen her again myself, but Christian said that she apologized and seemed genuinely sincere. He said that she hasn't made any more attempts to ask him to take her back. She did that for a little while around the time that we checked out the house. He would, politely as possible, turn her down and hang up on her.

I have finally finished furnishing and decorating our house and it is magnificent. Christian went in to add a few finishing touches, but it was acceptable. This week, we have started having our stuff moved over there. Whenever I was there telling the guys delivering furniture where to put it, a few guys came and said that they had the special furniture and I blushed, knowing what it was. They said they already had the needed code so I just sent them through. Even I don't know that code. That is fine, though. I don't ever intend to go in there without Christian anyways. We should be moving in this coming weekend after the men finish with the playroom and all of our stuff is there. It may even happen a little earlier. It's Thursday already, so I'm fine with waiting until Saturday. I'm excited about this next step in our lives.

About a month ago, the press finally caught me and Liam out. We just went down to get ice cream. Sawyer stayed with us, but he stayed far enough back that it wasn't obvious that he was with us. We were coming up to a corner and they just jumped around the corner and started snapping pictures of us. I picked up Liam and held him against my chest to shield him as Sawyer got them to leave us alone. We immediately went back home. Liam was a little upset about it, but we got past it. We ended up being on the news as the 'mistress' of Christian Grey and our love child, but Christian put out another press release stating that we are in a committed, loving relationship and the paps finally started to calm down and go away, but we still see one occasionally. Taylor ended up going out and getting the ice cream for us because Sawyer had to stay in our hall to stand guard.

Since the paps got pictures of us, Christian and I went out to eat at a fancy restaurant that he owns called 'The Mile-High Club' a few times. It is classy and we had a lovely meal each time we've gone there. Paps got more pictures of us together but we really don't care. Hopefully, they captured how happy we are together. We went on nights that Liam stayed with his Mimi and Pops. He absolutely loves them and they love him. They spoil him as well and, apparently, there is nothing I can really do about it, so I guess I will learn to live with it.

My Dad has still been taking Liam on one night a weekend and Liam loves to spend time with Papa. Dad also joins us one day a week for dinner. He is genuinely happy for us and I think Christian is really starting to grow on him. They talk about possibly going out fishing together sometime and taking Liam along. Liam is excited about the idea and Christian immediately went out and bought him a fishing pole, but he left it at the new house.

Christian has started to introduce me back into light BDSM in the bedroom with the use of ties and scarves and, occasionally, his belt. We don't do it too often, because I tend to get too loud because it is thrilling and I absolutely love it. I cannot wait to see and utilize our new playroom. I can only imagine the exquisite things that this multi-talented man can do with my body.

I started my new job two months ago. I love my job. The only thing about my job that bothers me is my direct boss, Jack Hyde. He is always invading my personal space and I constantly catch him staring at my breasts and my ass. I've even started wearing clothes and scarves to cover even more of my body that my already modest work clothes cover. He makes me uncomfortable. I told Christian about him and he said that he knows the CEO and he will talk to him about it, but also look into it himself. Gail happily keeps Liam while we both work.

Sawyer stays even closer to me at work than usual, on Christian's orders, because of Jack's odd behavior. Sawyer makes me feel safe so I'm happy that he is there to watch out for me. I really enjoy having him as a CPO. He's been going with me and Liam every time that we've gone somewhere without Christian. Christian officially asked me to let him be the CPO for us and I agreed, hesitantly. I have grown quite fond of Sawyer, though. Apparently, he has a fiancé, even though he doesn't get to spend much time with her because of his work. I'm going to ask Christian if he will let her move in with him in the guest houses whenever we get moved into the house. I'm sure he will be okay with it.

Mia has started to come to Sunday family dinners again, but she continues to act resentful of me. I'm sure it is because of Sasha, so I just let it go and continue to act as nice to her as she will allow me to without walking off. I'm doing my part so I just have to wait for her to come around. She will have to, eventually, if I am in Christian's life and he said that as long as I will have him, I will be in his life. Our bond continues to grow and I love it. I love him. I love our family.

Christian and I have only had one argument in the last two months. It was in regards to some beautiful, but insanely expensive jewelry that he bought me. I told him that I didn't want him buying me expensive shit all the time and he finally convinced me to accept it by saying that the jewelry reminds him of me. He said I am the most beautiful woman that he has ever met and that he wants me to feel as beautiful as the way he sees me. That is when I relented. How can I resist such sweet words coming from such a beautiful man that I love so much. He is actually, finally, starting to get me to see how beautiful I really am.

Elliot and Kate have announced that they will be getting married in 4 months. They want to have the wedding before the baby is born, because, after that, Christian and I will have our hands full at least half of the time. We are all excited about the impending wedding. Kate said that Sasha is not invited, but we don't doubt if Mia brings her as her plus one. Mia is a feisty little thing and, apparently, she loves drama. Liam will also be in the wedding.

We have enjoyed our day together as a family. We just finished putting Liam to bed and we are settling in on the couch for some wine. Christian is sitting back and I'm laid up against his side and he has his arm wrapped around me and we are just talking whenever his phone rings. I sit up so he can get it. He has to at least check it these days because of the baby. He picks it up and he has a concerned look on his face. He looks at me. "It's her."

"Go ahead, baby." He picks it up and answers.

"What's going on, Sasha?... Why would you want to meet with us? How do I know that you're not just trying to start more shit?..." he sighs, "let me ask. Be right back." He puts the phone on mute and looks at me. "She wants to meet with both of us. She says it is something important regarding the baby. She promises not to cause any problems and that she will meet us in public, if necessary, to prove it. How do you feel about that, baby?"

I think about it for the second. I guess it couldn't hurt. I look back into his eyes. "I'm okay with it, but I just don't want us to be alone with her. I still don't trust her."

He nods and kisses me sweetly. "How about we meet with her at Grey House tomorrow afternoon. I can set it up in the morning and you can take off work early and come over and stay the rest of the day with me at my office until it is time to come home?"

I smile. "That sounds good to me." He smiles back.

He gets back on the phone. "We will meet with you tomorrow afternoon at Grey House. I will set it up in the morning and call you back… Okay, I will believe it whenever we see it. See you there." And he hangs up. He looks at the phone for a second and sets it on the table and looks at me. "I don't know if she is up to something, but we will have security in the room, just in case. She actually sounds sincere though. I guess we will see."

I nod. "I guess we will." We talk for a little while longer, trying to figure out what she could possibly want to talk to the two of us about, but we can't figure it out. After a little bit, we make our way to bed and I worship his body this time and we have yet another highly pleasurable sexual encounter that leaves us both thoroughly pleased. We end up falling asleep in each other's arms shortly afterwards since we both have to work in the morning and deal with Sasha in the afternoon.

We are sitting in the conference room where we will be meeting with Sasha. Taylor and Sawyer are on either side of the room in their stoic stances and I'm fidgeting with my fingers in my lap sitting next to Christian. He turns my chair towards him and he looks into my eyes and puts his hands on my own in my lap to stop me from fidgeting. "Hold your head up high, but at a respectful angle. Exude confidence in the fact that no matter what happens today, I am yours and you are mine. I finally smile back at him.

"I can do that."

"Good." He kisses me and turns my chair back towards the table and I lift my head up high and exude confidence. He is mine and I am his and everything will be okay in the world as long as we face it together.

Sasha finally enters the room and Christian takes my hand under the table. She now has a cute little baby bump. She has a man that is holding a small briefcase with her and she offers her hands to us politely. She no longer has her talons. Her nails are now a casual length and it is a simple french manicure. I stand first. I take her hand. "Miss Steele." She says to me as she nods to me. She turns to Christian and he stands and takes her hand and she shakes it lightly as well and says, "Mr. Grey" and nods to him as well. This is turning out to be much different than I expected. "This is my attorney, John Fritz. He is going to be accompanying me today. You will find out why in a little bit. We shake his hands as well.

"Please, have a seat." He tells them as we sit back down in our own chairs. She nods again and they have a seat across the table. I wonder what the hell is about to happen. The attorney lays his briefcase on the table and Christian takes my hand under the table again.

She looks at me first and clears her throat. "First of all, I would like to apologize to you, Ana. I was out of line. I thought about it and everything that you said was true. I am so sorry for attacking you. I have finally seen throughout the past 2 months that your relationship truly is as you say. I can see how happy you make Christian and I can feel the love radiating off of you both. I am happy for you both." I look into her eyes the entire time and I believe that she is being sincere.

"I accept your apology."

"Thank you. Also, I'd like to thank you for not pressing charges for that. I would've definitely deserved it, but the fines that I already have from my other charges are already costing me a lot. I'm also doing community service and it isn't easy for me as I'd grown accustomed to not working while with Mr. Grey."

I nod. I don't have to accept her apology twice in the same sitting. She looks to Christian. "Christian, I apologize to you for ruining your penthouse and for spending all of your money. I apologize for taking your car and $50,000 out of your account. I also apologize for having you arrested and attempting to ruin your life. Again, I was out of line. I had grown accustomed to your money and thought that I deserved it. Also, I believed that I loved you. I think I did in a way, but it was mostly directed at your money." She stops for a second and glances at her attorney and he nods. "I have to admit something to you, Christian. I know you will, most likely, be upset with me and I deserve all of the anger that you may have for me."

Christian nods, looking at her curiously.

"I poked holes in all of your condoms. I purposely got pregnant in hopes of trapping you into a life with me. I feel terrible about it now. I sincerely apologize."

Christian closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose, probably to calm himself and think clearly. "I accept your apology, but I will never forget the damage that has been done. The baby is the one good thing to come out of this relationship. I do care about you, but mostly as the mother to my baby."

She nods lightly. "That's the next thing that I would like to speak to both of you about." She nods to her attorney and he nods back and opens his briefcase and gets out some papers and hands them to her. She lays them upside down in front of her and puts her hands over them. She looks up confidently and looks between us. "I would like you both to raise the baby as her mother and father. I have no interest in being a mother. As I said before, I only got pregnant to keep Christian. I feel absolutely no connection with this baby and I just can't handle the thought of raising it. After the baby is born, I will be moving out to Georgia to be with my family. They all know about the pregnancy, but they also know that I've never wanted a baby and they are completely understanding of my wishes. I explained the whole situation about us and about you and Ana with them and they have promised not to interfere with your lives or the life of the baby."

I gasp, absolutely stunned by this. This is not what I was expecting this at all. "Are you absolutely sure about this, Sasha. I don't want you running back whenever the baby is older and trying to take her back." Christian asks her.

"I am 100% certain. That is why I had these documents drawn up and why my attorney is here with me today." She flips the papers over and slides them over to us. Christian takes them and we read them together. She is signing over her rights completely and wants us both in the delivery room and to immediately leave the room with the baby once she is born. She doesn't even want to see her. She also has an agreement to let ME sign the birth certificate as her mother. After reading the paperwork over, I have tears in my eyes.

I look back to her and smile genuinely. "I will need to have my attorneys look these over and then we can all sign these together. I can get them in here now if you would like?" Christian says.

"I would appreciate that. I will still take care of myself for the baby, but I want to leave here without being legally obligated to care for her once she is born today. I will be more relaxed once this is over."

"As long as you are sure." He says again.

She looks directly into his eyes so that maybe he will believe her. "I've never been more sure, Mr. Grey. Let's please get this over with so that we can all move on with our lives once the baby is born."

Christian nods and gets onto the phone and calls in his attorneys. Once they enter the room, they sit on either side of me and Christian and look over the documents. They tell us that everything is completely legal and there are no hidden innuendos in it. Christian asks her one last time if she is sure about this.

"Please stop asking me that. I told you I am sure and I meant it. Please sign." This whole time, the woman shows absolutely no emotion about giving up her rights to the baby she will be giving birth to in about 5 months. We all sign the papers and Christian's attorneys go and make copies and give the originals back to her attorney. She stands back up and her attorney does as well, while closing his briefcase back up. Christian and I stand up as well. I shake her hand and Christian does as well. You can tell from the look on her face that it's as if a weight has been lifted off of her shoulders. They go to walk out the door and just before they get there, I decide that I need to stop them.

"Sasha?" I say as I stand and move the chair and walk towards her. She stops and turns around and looks at me concerned that I might have something bad to say or change my mind. Once I'm standing in front of her, I surprise her by engulfing her in a hug. "Thank you so much! This means the world to me and I can promise you that I will love this baby girl as my own and she will be very loved and well taken care of."

She finally wraps her arms around my waist. "You're welcome. Thank you for taking this off my shoulders. I just can't do it." I finally release her with silent tears still falling from my eyes. She smiles at me. "Thank you both." By this time, Christian is by my side and he wraps his arms around me, handing me his handkerchief. I dab away my tears and Christian speaks.

"Thank you as well, Sasha. As Ana said, she will be well loved and cared for."

"I never had a doubt after seeing how amazing your son is. I have to go now. Take care and I will keep in touch regarding your baby."

She turns and they walk out the door and I turn and wrap my arms around Christian and he holds me tight. "Christian, did that really just happen or am I having the best dream of my life?"

He chuckles lightly. "It really happened. YOU and I are going to be parents together again!" I pull back and look up at him, with silent happy tears still falling from my eyes.

"I am unbelievably happy about this, Mr. Grey."

"I can see that. I am unbelievably happy about this as well."

I stand on my tip toes with my fingers on the back of his head, running through his hair and I crash my lips into his. "I love you, Mr. Grey. I can't wait to meet our baby girl!"

"I love you as well, Miss Steele. I cannot wait to meet her either. We just have to name her now."

I hug him again and just hold my head against his chest, trying to calm myself.

"Let's go to my office now, Miss Steele. I have some more work to get done and then hopefully we can leave early."

I step back and smile up at him. "Lead the way, Mr. Grey."

He leads me to his office and Taylor and Sawyer stay outside of the office somewhere. He introduces me to his personal assistant, Andrea. She is a beautiful, well put together woman. She seems incredibly kind.

Once we get into his office, he locks the door behind us. Maybe he has problems with people just walking in here whenever he is busy? Whenever he turns back around, he smiles at me mischievously. What is he up to? He wraps his arms around me and pulls me up against his firm body. He lifts my chin so that I'm looking into his mesmerizing grey eyes. "I feel we need to celebrate, Miss Steele."

"You want to go out to dinner again?" I ask, curiously.

He chuckles lightly. "Dinner is NOT what I had in mind." He bends down and his lips crash into mine and he kisses me feverishly. I'm still confused at this point. He pulls back slightly. "I have something much naughtier in mind if that is okay with you." He whispers against my lips.

Finally it dawns on me, SEX! I am suddenly very aroused and I break the distance between our lips as mine crash into his and I kiss him passionately. I pull back a little this time. "I like the way you think. What does sir have in mind?" I whisper against his lips. He growls under his breath whenever I call him sir and this makes me smile again.

"Let me show you." He says and then he picks me up by my ass. "Wrap your legs around my waist." I comply and do just that and he kisses me feverishly again as he carries me over to his desk. He sets me down in front of it and he quickly cleans off his desk. He stands back up at me with that naughty grin on his face. He takes his tie off and lays it on his desk. He approaches me to help me out of my clothes and I help him out of his as well. We do this quickly, but carefully, so that we don't get our clothes wrinkled. We pick up our clothes after we are undressed and neatly put them out on the chairs in front of his desk. I am still wearing my heels. I notice that he put my panties and his belt on the desk as well and I wonder what he has planned.

I am excited at the prospect of whatever he has planned. I am sure that it will be thrilling. Once he is standing in front of me again, his lips crash back into mine and he kisses me passionately. After a couple minutes or seconds, I'm not sure which, he pulls back and looks into my eyes. "First of all, this room is soundproof. Second, this is going to be quick and dirty because I've been hoping to fuck a woman on my desk for quite some time, but once I met you, it is ONLY you that I would ever want to fuck on my desk. Are your ready to be fucked, Miss Steele?" I smile.

"Yes, sir." He smiles back at me.

He grabs the back of my neck and kisses me hard. He pulls back. "Good girl." He picks up the tie off of the desk. "First, I am going to put this over your eyes." I nod with a smile. He turns me around and puts the tie over my eyes and ties it behind my head. Once it is in place he asks, "Can you see anything?"

I answer, "No, sir."

"Good girl." He turns me around and kisses me again with fervor and then he turns me to the side. "The desk is directly in front of you. Now, I need you to bend over my desk, baby."

"Yes, sir." I bend over the desk and he pulls both of my hands behind my back gently and holds them together in one hand. I feel him wrap something around them. My panties.

"Are you still okay?"

"Yes, sir." I say and I feel my inner muscles contract with anticipation.

He touches my core and spreads my inner folds and rubs it teasingly. "I see that this turns you on."

"Yes, sir. It does."

I feel him get into place behind me and then he places his hands on my hips firmly after placing himself at my entrance. "Baby, do NOT come until I tell you too, understood?"

"Yes, sir."

As soon as the words are out of my mouth, he thrusts his full length into me at once. I can already feel an orgasm building, but I'm going to do my best to hold it back, as my master requested. He begins to thrust hard and fast. He doesn't hold back and I keep getting closer to coming and it is getting harder and harder to hold it back. "Are you still okay, baby?"

"Yes, sir. I am great."

All of the sudden, he changes the angle and it hits my G spot even more intensely than before and I am getting dangerously close to coming. "Master, may I come?" I beg.

"Not yet, baby." Shit. He smacks my ass with his hand and nothing can stop a magnificent orgasm from washing over me. He tsks me and pulls out abruptly. Fuck that felt too good. I couldn't resist.

I hear him pick up the belt. "Do you know why you're being punished, Ana?"

"Yes, sir. I came without permission. I'm sorry."

"You are correct. I am going to hit you five times. I want you to count with me but if it is ever too much, you know the safe words. Are you ready?"

"Yes, sir." As soon as sir is out of my mouth, the belt makes contact with my left ass cheek and the contact sends delicious sensations straight to my core. "One, sir." I say as he is rubbing the ass cheek that he just hit. The next hit is on my right ass cheek. "Two, sir." He is rubbing my right ass cheek now. This continues until I get to five and then I hear him drop the belt.

"Have you learned your lesson, baby?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good girl. I am going to continue to fuck you now and you must not come until you are given permission. Do you think you can handle that?"

"Yes, sir. I can do that." I feel him take his position behind me again and he grabs my hips again and, once again, he thrusts his full length into me. The feeling of his skin against my now stinging ass is thrilling to me and sends more amazing sensations straight to my core as he proceeds to stroke me from the inside in all the right spots hard and fast.

I manage to hold off more than one orgasm as he continues to fuck me vigorously. I can hear his pants getting more pronounced and I know that he is close. "I want you to come with me, Ana."

"Yes, sir." I say, excitedly, and my body immediately tenses and I feel his cock start to pulsate inside me as he grunts and my orgasm hits me hard and my body starts to shake uncontrollably as he continues to stroke and empty himself inside my core as my inner muscles continue to squeeze his cock. I always love to come with him. It makes me feel even more connected to him.

Once his cock stops pulsating and the final pulses of my orgasm are done. He stops stroking and leans into my back and he bites me on my collar bone as if he is a lion subduing it's mate, and it surprises me, but as it is with everything this man does, it excites me and I feel my inner muscles contract one last time and he lightly chuckles. "Did you like that, baby?" He asks.

"Yes, sir." I reply. "Very much so." He pushes my hair to the side and kisses my neck sweetly before standing back up and he slowly pulls out and he unties my wrists and rubs them gently. He helps me up and my knees are weak so he wraps one of his strong arms around my waist and keeps me from falling. He, one handedly, unties the tie around my eyes and it drops on the desk.

"Are you still okay, Ana?"

I am smiling in a daze at this point. "Yes, Christian. I am absolutely great."

He turns me around and kisses me sweetly with a beautiful smile on his insanely handsome face. He scoops me up without warning and carries me over to a couch that I didn't even notice was here before now. He lays me down against the back, facing him and he lays directly in front of him and we wrap our arms around each other. "You never cease to amaze me, Mr. Grey."

He chuckles. "You continue to amaze me and surprise me daily, Miss Steele, and I just cannot get enough of you. I don't ever think I could. You're everything I would've imagined for myself as a teenager, had I even thought about dating then."

"I can't get enough of you either. I think that I'm addicted to you."

He chuckles again. "Same here. I want to have you all over this office at some point, but for today, I have one more meeting and then we can go home and spend the day with Liam. Does that work for you, baby?"

"Mm, I wish I could have more now, but yes. That sounds like a plan. I will rest while you are gone to your meeting."

"Okay, baby. But for now, I want to lay here a few more minutes and then we can get dressed and freshened up before my meeting."

"Okay." He squeezes me tighter as we continue to come down from our euphoric states. After a few minutes we get up and help each other get dressed and freshened up and he kisses me as I see him off to his meeting. I decide to lay down on the couch and rest until he gets back. That man knows how to wear a girl out.
