As I watch from outside the room, a hand touches my shoulder making me jump.
"Sorry Ana I didn't mean to make you jump" Grace says with a smile.
"Oh that's ok Grace, I see his mood hasn't improved overnight" we both look at Christian.
"No, and he is beginning to give the staff cause to complain to their supervisors so I have had a meeting with all his medical team who agree he can go home with the right care package in place" she starts "are you sure you want three babies at home Ana?" we both laugh because that is exactly what he is being like.
"At least I won't be on my own with him" I say still hoping Grace and Carrick will stay.
"No you won't Ana, the only reason they, apart from his attitude, will release him is because I am a doctor and will be with him for most of the time. So we will have the attitude instead" we chuckle again.
"Shall I give him the good news or do you want to?" I ask Grace.
"I still have my shift to complete so I will leave it to you" she pats my arm and smiles as she goes back to work.
I take a deep breath and smile before opening the door to his room where I am met by a barrage of angry voices from both Christian and the nurse.
"I told you I don't want that, I am perfectly capable of doing it myself" he snarls.
"I never said you couldn't do it but my job IS to do it so humour me for once please Mr Grey" the nurse curtly answers back.
"Good morning Christian, I can see you are in fine voice this morning" I try to lighten the mood a little.
"Hello baby, glad you are here" he looks behind me "Where are the twins?"
"I have put them in the crèche for a couple of hours to give you and me a chance to talk this morning" I say noticing the disappointment on his face.
"What do we need to talk about other than getting me out of this hell hole" he starts "Ana, have you been crying?"
I nod and curse myself for not doing a better job with my makeup although I think I could have put it on with a trowel and it would still be obvious.
"Yes I have but it's ok, just a bad dream" I hastily add.
"Oh baby, come here" he signals for me to go over to the bed and he moves over to allow me space to lie next to him. He wraps his arms around me; I breathe deeply savouring the feeling of his strength, warmth and love enveloping me.
"It feels so good to have you in my arms again Ana, I have missed this so much" he tightens his hold momentarily as if to demonstrate this.
"I have missed this too Christian, I have been sleeping with one of your t-shirts at night" I blush scarlet at my last phrase.
"How was it? Do I need to be jealous?" he lets out a hearty laugh before grimacing slightly.
"Oh trust you" I playfully swat him but it is good to see him laughing again.
"So what was it you needed to talk to me about or was it to confess about having an affair with my t-shirt?" he chuckles again and I can't help but smile too.
"Well as you have become a difficult patient" I poke my tongue out at him "you are being released into your Mom's care at Escala, probably today but we are just putting a care package in place to enable that to happen"
"You mean I can sleep in my own bed again?" he sounds like an excited child.
"I am not sure but Grace will have more information soon"
"What do you mean by care package?" he growls.
"We can't do this on our own, physiotherapy alone is specialised and tailored to your needs and that we are not trained for" I explain.
"Harrumph, I just want to go home and spend time with my beautiful wife and children" he sighs.
"We will be able to spend more time together at home but I will not allow you to neglect things that will bring you to full health again Christian" I look at him seriously.
"I suppose so" and his mood has deteriorated again "I need to go to the bathroom and as you are here can you help me?"
"Of course I can" I get up from our cuddle and he makes his way to the bathroom with minimal of help and is back out a few moments later.
"Can you put the television on? I should see what is happening in the world today" he asks.
"This is ABC NEWS HEADLINES with Carol Limes"
"The latest news headlines- The Seattle billionaire and CEO of Grey Enterprise Holdings Christian Grey, recovering in a Seattle hospital after being shot on his wedding day is reportedly being released this afternoon. He has spent a relatively short time in hospital considering the injuries he suffered at the hands of a family friend and former business partner Elena Lincoln. It is believed he will be released into the care of his mother, the renowned paediatrician Dr Grace Trevelyan-Grey to continue making progress at home. We will bring you more on this story as we it comes through. Now to other stories…"
"Turn it off!" he yells and I switch it off "What the fuck is this place doing? Broadcasting every fucking detail of what has happened to me and my family"
He is pacing the floor with a slightly awkward gait so as not to hurt himself too much and furiously running his hand through his hair which I find very sexy, it has that just fucked look and I chuckle to myself.
"What's that sexy little smile for baby?" he catches my look.
"Oh it was just the way you were running your hand through your hair" I say.
"Turning you on was it?" his face intensifies
"Yes it was but neither of us are in any condition to act upon it" Unfortunately I think to myself.
"Oh I don't know about that" he walks over and pulls me into his arms, his lips explore my lips, his hands roam over my breasts, tweaking each nipple until they are hard. My hands stroke through his hair before sliding down his back and caressing his buttocks. I feel his erection pushing into my thigh and I gently stroke it through his trousers.
"Ana, Ana, that feels so good baby, oh what you do to me, oh god, I want you" he pants.
"I want you too but not here and not now" I say "just wait until I get you home though"
"Knock knock" Grace appears at the door "can I come in?" she smiles.
Christian hastily sits down on the bed and covers himself with a blanket to protect his modesty.
"Mom, how did the press get hold of the fact I am going home today?"
"I can't discuss it here Christian but it is being dealt with as we speak but things have been sorted, Gail is getting the apartment ready, Taylor and Sawyer along with Peters are sorting security with SPD for our departure from here and arrival at Escala"
"What needs to be sorted at home?" his mood is deteriorating again
"Furniture moved, physiotherapy equipment needs to be installed to aid in your continued improvement and non-slip rugs to name a few" Grace explains.
"This is too much bother, I will be fine without all this hassle, and just let me go home" he shouts.
"Christian, I am your mother but also your doctor and I can reverse the decision to allow you home so be quiet and accept that these things need to be done" she barks.
He quietens down into a sulk but Grace continues to tell us what is going to be needed and it seems endless.
"Don't worry Ana, I will sort this, you have enough to deal with. Now I am waiting to hear back from Taylor with regards to timing and security so as soon as it can be sorted we will go home, ok?" Christian nods too.
"Thank you Mother"
"No point in being cross with me Christian, this is all for your benefit remember" Grace remarks.
Evidently Christian calling Grace Mother is a clue to how he is feeling but Grace does not allow her son to get away with anything.
"Ana, I will be back as soon as possible. I suggest you don't go too far from this room and certainly not outside. The press are hungry for pictures and comments; I don't want you to be hounded. I have hospital security stationed at the entrances and exits but if you need anything just press the emergency button here" she points to a red button above Christian's bed "and security will be here in moments"
"Thank you Grace"
"Fucking press, fucking hospital, fucking Elena and fuck all this crap" he grumbles.
"I hope you are not going to speak like that around our children Christian" I tersely say.
"They won't understand what I am saying" he snaps back.
"No not yet but they will sense the tone of your voice and I certainly don't want them to repeat anything like that" I warn.
"Fair point well-made Ana, I am sorry I am in a bad mood, this whole fuck…err situation is just piss… err frustrating me immensely. What is happening with my business? Who is doing what there? Have I got a business left?" he moans.
"Elliot and your father have been keeping things running along with our PA's so I am sure all is fine and without a doubt it will be the first thing you check on when you get back to Escala" I can read him so well sometimes.
"After I have spent some time with you and the twins of course" he smiles.
"Of course" I reply "I am sure Elliot will come over and fill you in on all the details"
"How is everyone?" he asks.
"Elliot is doing a great job running two businesses as well as looking after Kate. Taylor and Sawyer are both back on duty. Your Mom has been absolutely fantastic throughout, your Dad was here a lot initially but then he had to turn his attention to the firm when he knew you were going to be ok. Mia has been looking after Gramps and Nana in between visiting you and me. Gail has been keeping Escala running as well as looking after Taylor. She has helped me so much with the twins too" I fill him in on a few things.
"Thank you too Ana" he reaches out and holds my hand "I love you Mrs Grey"
"I love you too Mr Grey" I lean in for a kiss and he responds with a gentle but passionate kiss that would under better circumstances make me want to lose my panties and get down and dirty with my husband.
"What are you thinking Mrs Minx? I can feel your body responding" he smiles.
"Oh just what I would do if it was a different time and place" I start to blush.
"Why Mrs Grey, I do believe you are having naughty thoughts" he teases.
I blush again and lower my eyes "yes I am, I can't wait to have you home fit and well. I miss your touch, your caress, your smell and the feeling of you inside me"
"Soon baby, soon" he kisses me again.
A knock at the door makes me jump, we look over and Taylor is at the door.
"Mr and Mrs Grey, security is ready for you whenever you are free to leave"
"Thank you Taylor, would you also arrange a meeting with Elliot for this evening or tomorrow to discuss GEH and what has been going on whilst I have been incapacitated. See if Kate can come over, I am sure Ana would like some company too" he orders.
"Yes sir" and Taylor is gone.
