It has been 12 weeks since the Jason and Liam were born. The last 12 weeks have been blissfully uneventful, thankfully. We're hoping it stays that way.

Kate is now 30 weeks pregnant with my Goddaughter, Ava. Her and Elliot couldn't be more excited.

We still have spa days together on a regular basis at my house.

Michael is now 1 and Phoebe and Teddy are 2. It won't be long until Avery turns 13. This terrifies us. She hasn't pulled anymore stunts, like ditching her security, for example, so hopefully she will be a calm teenager.

We still do the monthly sleepovers and she loves getting to spend time with her friends and especially Tracy since she doesn't Go to their school with her anymore.

My relationship with Christian continues to grow stronger every day.

Today, I'm going into work. I'm sitting at my desk reading through manuscripts and editing them whenever my phone rings. I answer it without looking who it is. I immediately regret it.

"Ana Grey."

"The same Ana who took our daughter and gave her to her father?"

Tracy's mom. "I saw an abused child and sent her to stay with someone who loves her and will take care of her and she has been happier and healthier since as a result of that."

"Well maybe I will just take one of your kids then."

"Rita, I would have to strongly advise against doing that."

"Why not? You took my only child. You deserve to lose one of your own as a result of that. Eye for an eye."

"Rita, what do you want? Money? I can give you money but you have to leave my family alone."

"Fine. Get me 5 million dollars and I will leave you alone. Come to my house when you have it. Well, actually, just call me back and I will direct you here. Don't try anything funny."

"Okay. Heading to the bank now."

"You have 2 hours Mrs. Grey. I suggest you hurry it up."

"Okay. I will contact you shortly."

I hang up and go straight to Sawyer. "We need to go straight to the bank."

"Yes Mrs. Grey."

He leads me out to our SUV and helps me in. Before he starts to drive. "don't move yet." I show him the number Rita called from. "track that if you can't track me. Her name is Rita Douglas. She is the mother of the child we sent with her dad because she was being abused in her home. Apparently, she just got out of jail and she is threatening to take one of our kids. Take care of getting them more protection now. They need to be in the panic room immediately."

"Okay Ana. But what are you doing?"

"I'm going to the bank to get her money. She didn't say I couldn't bring security but just to be somewhat safe if she knows I wasn't followed. If I hit my panic button get in there."

"Okay, Mrs. Grey but I don't think Mr. Grey will approve."

"Mr. Grey isn't here. I am doing this for our children. To the bank on first."

I get into the bank and go to the lady at the counter. "I need to make a large cash withdrawal Out of mine and my husband, Christian Grey's account immediately."

"Sure, Mrs. Grey. Follow me."

I follow her to an office and a man comes in after I get in there.

"My name is Troy Whelan. How can I help you Mrs. Grey?"

"I need 5 million in cash immediately and I need it urgently. I'd rather not have to tell Mr. Grey that you gave me trouble."

"Yes, Mrs. Grey. Let's see what we can do. I need to just make a phone call. Do you have ID?"

I pull my ID out of my purse and I hand it to him. "Just write a check and I will be back shortly."

I nod and sit down and write out a check. He comes back into the room with the phone in hand. "it is your husband Mrs. Grey."

I take the phone from him and hand him the check. "Christian?"

"Ana, Sawyer told me your plan and I don't like it. Don't go to this woman."

"Christian, she wants to take one of our children."

He audibly sighs. "Remember to use your panic button if anything seems amiss."

"I will. I love you."

"I love you too Ana. Do what you have to do. Be safe. Taylor called and had the kids and everyone else brought into the panic room. Just take care of you. I cannot lose you. We will be right behind you."

"Okay. I've got to go."

"Put Wheelan back on the phone."

I stand up and hand him his phone back. "yes, Mr. Grey."

He hangs up. "be right back with the money, Mrs. Grey."

He finally comes back and they walk me and the money back to the SUV and Sawyer gets out and helps to put it in the back.

Sawyer lets me back into the SUV. I pick up my phone and dial her number back.

"Cutting it awful close Ana."

"I've got the money. Send me your address and I will be there shortly."

"I will text it to you."

I hang up and tell Sawyer the address and we head to it. I get out and have Sawyer carry the bags up to the house for me. He nods at me and leaves the money on the porch.

She finally opens the door. "This is all the money. Please leave my family alone."

"Too late for that." I look inside and see Teddy playing inside on the floor.

I discreetly hit my panic button and launch at this crazy bitch who took my son. I knock her over and beat the shit out of her and Sawyer comes up behind me and pulls me off of her. "Go get Teddy. I've got this under control."

I grab Teddy and plaster on a fake smile on my face and I leave the house and get out to the SUV and another pulls up behind us. I look and I'm pleasantly surprised when I see my husband coming towards me. He wraps his arms around us. "You okay?"

I start crying. "I'm not. She didn't physically hurt me though if that's what you're asking. I saw she had our son and went all Mama Bear on her. Sawyer had to stop me."

"Let's get into the SUV." I nod and he helps me get in and he takes Teddy and gets in himself and buckles Teddy in securely.

"You didn't want me to come Christian. What if…?"

"I'm sorry I doubted for a second that you couldn't handle the situation."

I start crying again. "What have I done to deserve everyone coming after me?"

"you have done nothing Ana and you sure as hell don't deserve to go through this shit."

I nod and kiss him over the car seat where Teddy is sitting blissfully unaware of what just happened.

The cops came and asked me questions and said we were good to go and she will be put away for a while now for kidnapping and extortion.

When Taylor and Sawyer finally come back to the SUVs with the money, Taylor gets into the SUV we're in and Sawyer gets into the one behind us.

We make our way back to the house and Christian leaves the kids with the nanny after we let them out of the panic room and he takes me to our bathroom and sets me down on the counter and runs me a bath.

While I'm in the tub he leaves for a minute and comes back and brings me wine to drink while I relax and he sits down on the floor next to the tub. "Join me please?"

He nods and stands up and takes off his clothes and climbs in behind me and washes me gently, not making it sexual, but I want him too. I take another swig of my wine and turn around in his arms and sit astride him and slide down onto his obvious erection and ride him until we both cum gloriously together. "I needed that baby. Thank you."

"Mmm… my pleasure as always baby." I kiss him sweetly and we finish washing each other and get out. He wraps me in a huge fuzzy towel and he puts a small one around his waist.

He escorts me to my closet and picks me out comfortable clothes and helps me to put them on.

Once I'm dressed, I take him to his closet and put him in some comfortable clothes as well.

Once we are both dressed, we go downstairs and spend the remainder of the day with our children.

At bedtime, we put them all through their nightly routines and put them to bed and we go to bed ourselves and he just holds me. This day has been way too exhausting. I give him a sweet kiss and lay my head on his chest and drift off to sleep after hearing, "sleep baby."
