The next day I'm awoken by a knock on the bedroom door and I go to answer it. There stands Avery. "Tracy is gone Mom."

"It's okay baby. We sent her with her real Dad."

"Why Mom? I was scared something happened to her."

"You know she is safe here baby. We had someone watching the basement door so she wouldn't have went anywhere on her own. The reason she had to go isn't my story to tell. She is safe now. That's what matters."

She looks down. "Her Dad hurt her Mom. I wanted to help but I didn't know how. I'm sorry I hadn't told you."

"Well she is safe from him now. She is with her real Dad, who she loves."

"She never said he wasn't her real Dad." She sighs. "I'm just glad she is safe. I'm going back to my friends now."

"Just tell them Tracy had to go home. Don't give them the details, okay?"

"Okay Mom." She wraps her arms around me the best she can. "Thank you for helping her."

"You're very welcome baby. I love you."

"I love you too Mom." She turns and goes back down to her friends and I go back into the room where my husband is looking at me.

"You are an amazing woman Ana."

I smile at him. "Only problem is that if her mom and step dad aren't in jail yet, they will come to look for her and be upset that she isn't here and that she is with her Dad. How do we handle that?"

"Keep security nearby. Be cautious."

I climb back in bed and sit astride my amazing handsome husband. "I need you Christian."

He kisses me feverishly and he pulls my nightie over my head and rips my panties off. I pull off his boxers and slide down onto his awaiting erection. "fuck." I ride him until we both have magnificent orgasms.

"God Ana. You never stop amazing me."

"I just want to keep my husband happy."

"And you succeed every time." I smile and reach down and kiss him and roll off of him and lay on my side facing him.

"I should go get the girls to get ready to go home and then after they all leave, we can spend the rest of the day with our kids."

"Sounds like a plan. Shower with me first." I smile and give him a sweet kiss.

"Definitely."

We get up and shower together and have a round of shower sex and get dressed.

I go back downstairs where the girls are eating breakfast and the other kids are there eating as well.

I take a plate and sit at the breakfast bar since there isn't any room left at the table.

Christian joins me at the breakfast bar and gives me a sweet kiss.

"Girls, when you're done eating you all need to get your stuff together because parents will start showing up soon."

They all nod and finish eating and go off to gather their stuff.

After everyone else eats, the girls start coming back upstairs looking sad that they have to go. "Girls, how would you feel about a sleepover once a month?"

They all smile brightly. "Mom, you're the best!" Avery says as she running to me and envelops me in a hug.

"Anything for you baby girl."

The girls all agree to a once a month sleepover pending their parents' approval.

My phone rings so I take it out of my pocket and answer it.

"Ana Grey"

"Ana, it is Mr. Parker. I was just calling to update you."

"Of course Mr. Parker. How is everything going?"

"Well the detective said that her Mom and that man are both in jail now. They shouldn't be a problem now."

"That is great. How is Tracy holding up?"

"She is emotional but happy to be free from there. She misses you and the girls already."

"They miss her too. I was awoken by my daughter panicking because she was gone."

"Well I'll let her know."

"how do you feel about a sleepover once a month. Could Tracy come?"

"Definitely. It will have to be on weekends though."

"That was already the plan. Thank you for updating me. Please let me know if anything changes. Keep in touch. Tracy really is a good kid. I was glad to help. I had a similar experience as a teenager."

"I'm sorry to hear that. I will keep you posted. Talk to you later."

"Later."

I hang up and go to update my husband. I find him in his office.

"Busy Mr. Grey?"

"Never too busy for you. What's up baby?"

"Tracy's Dad called. Her mom and piece of shit stepfather are in jail."

"Good. They belong there."

I sit on his lap when I hear someone knocking at the front door. I give him a soft kiss and go to answer the door.

Within the next hour, all the girls have gone home with their parents. We spend the rest of the day with Avery, Teddy, Phoebe and Michael.

After a very active day, we get the kids to bed and go to bed ourselves and worship each other's bodies well into the night.

8 Weeks later – 32 weeks pregnant.

The past 8 weeks have been uneventful. Tracy's parents are still in jail and the judge won't set bail for them. Apparently the evidence is damning. They shouldn't be free until they serve a sentence. Especially the step Dad.

There have been 2 more sleepovers with all the girls, including Tracy. She seems very happy compared to before all of this. This makes me very happy. I'm glad we were able to help her.

My children are growing like weeds. My husband has been a dream. I am so lucky that we found each other again. He is, without a doubt, my better half. And he used to claim he didn't have a heart. He was so wrong. He has the biggest heart and he shows it more every single day.

Kate and I have spa day in my home once a week. We still don't trust going to the spa because we had a traumatizing experience there the last time.

I personally feel like I'm about to explode because I'm so much bigger than I was with Teddy and Phoebe. It will be at least a couple years before I get pregnant again. I miss wine. I have basically been pregnant for about 3 years and my uterus is tired, as am I. Babies in the uterus suck the energy out of a person.

Today, we're going out on the Grace. We haven't been out there in a while. The Greys are joining us. "You ready baby?" asks my husband as he leans against the doorway to my closet watching me. I'm sitting here struggling to get my shoes on my swollen feet that I cannot see.

"I'd probably be ready if you would help me to fit my huge feet into some shoes."

He chuckles and helps me out. "There you go baby." He stands and offers me a hand and helps me up and I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him down to me for a sweet kiss.

"I'm ready now Mr. Grey." He gives me one more sweet kiss and holds my hand and we go downstairs and prepare everyone for our day out.

We get to the boat and strap everyone into life jackets.

After the Greys show up, they help the nannies and us with the kids. We finally set sail and we sail around out in the sound. The day was just what we needed. Kate and I lay out on the deck for a little while. "Ana, I'm pregnant."

I smile and look at her. "This is great."

"I just wasn't quite ready but I'm okay with it. I'm kinda excited."

"You should be. It's amazing. I'm struggling with finding my feet but I'm carrying 2 humans in here at once." I say as I rub my huge belly. "but I miss being able to indulge in some wine from time to time so after these boys are born, my uterus is going on strike."

She giggles. "I understand. I mean after these 2, you will have 6 babies. Sounds like time to shut down for business for a little while."

"Exactly my point. I think Christian wants to keep me pregnant the rest of our lives but I'm laying down the law. A woman's body can take only so much."

"how does it feel to have a preteen? Are you ready for teenage years?"

"It is terrifying. After what happened with Ethan, it is even more terrifying, but we've come a long way since then so I'm confident that it will be fine. We just helped one of her friends a couple months ago. She was in an abusive home and we reunited her with her birth father and she is really thriving now."

"That's amazing that you were able to help her. Ana, you are a saint." I start laughing hard.

"The things I do with my husband take me off the saint list. I have my naughty side."

"Don't we all?"

We laugh some more and spend the rest of the day with our whole family.

When we get home, we carry our sleepy children in and put them to bed and go to bed ourselves. It was a great day.
