Before they knew it, it was the week before Christmas. Ana was at Bellevue with all the ladies and kids getting ready for Christmas. While Christian and his brothers were at the Grove wrapping presents. No one but their wifes and husband knew they were there. They told the kids even the older kids that they were at Epic for the afternoon. An that the professional cleaners will be coming to the grove to do the yearly deep clean of the house. So none of the older kids should come to bother them. The cleaners will actually be coming after Christmas.

They were just cleaning up. So when they heard movement in the front hall Christian went to check out who it was. They must not be a threat because the front gate cleared them already. An what Christian saw made him, roll his eyes. There was his oldest boy Val kissing his boyfriend as he pushed him against the wall. Christian could not help the smirk on his face. At times it seemed Val and Damien spent more time in bed together, then standing up together. It reminds him of Ana and himself, not being able to keep their hands of each other. That maybe true, but those two knew better then doing stuff like this here. After all Ana and him would never dream of making out like that or other things at Bellevue. It just was not right.

Christian walked up behind his son and placed his hand on his shoulder. Val and Damien were so distracted, they did not notice anyone walking up behind them. So when Christian placed his hand on his boys shoulder he froze. An both boys were beat red. They were caught for a 2nd time. Well at least it was not by Ana this time.

That is quite enough son.

Val turned around slowly to look in to his Dads eyes.

Sorry Dad, we did not think anyone would be home

You know very well your mother and I did not what anyone here today. Did the last time you two got caught by your mother teach you guys anything?

They at least looked embarrassed as they thought back to that day, almost a month ago. That was by far not the traditional way to meet your son's boyfriend.

Flashback all most a month ago

It was just after thanksgiving. All the family was at Bellevue for the evening for dinner. Tonight the whole family will be meeting the boy that Val plans on marrying one day. But with the way his boyfriend was looking in those jeans, he would not be able to keep his hands off of him. So they were making their way to the Grove for a pit stop. No one would be there, so they could make a 20 minute stop and no one would be the wiser. By the time they got through the front door their shirts were gone and Val's hands were rubbing Damien's cock through his jeans. They lost their jeans on the stairs and their boxers in the hall. Just as Val pushed Damian on his bed, Ana arrived back home. She wanted a change of shoes and to pick up her Mother in laws favorite cooking pan. Grace's Garlic bread comes out perfectly in this pan, every time.

The first thing that told her something was wrong, was that the front door was unlocked. The gate did not tell her that someone was there. So she took out her phone and called her husband. Just as her husband answered the phone, she spotted her son's favorite shirt along with another. As she talked with her husband, she followed the line of clothes up the stairs.

Princess what's wrong?

Well at first I thought there was, but now I think your oldest boy is up to no good in his bedroom. Judging by the trail of clothes to his door and the noises coming from in there.

Fuckin hell. I'll be right there.

Mean while in the room they had no idea, their was anyone else in the house till they heard the knock on the door.

Valentino Marco Grey and Friend if I were you I would stop what ever you are doing in our home before your father gets here.

She could not help the small smile that formed, when she heard her son say "O shit its my Mom". Christian arrived a few minutes after Val and Damian had gotten dressed and headed to the living room with Ana. After a 20 minute lecture and a nice family dinner , they finally told Damián it was nice to meet him.

End Flashback

I just could not help myself Dad. Please don't tell Mom.

Christian could not help but roll his eyes at his boy.

You know very well, I keep no secrets from your Mom. An you deserve the telling off from her.

With that, they headed to Belveve. They had an amazing dinner and had a great time as a family that evening. Tomorrow they will be heading to the club to work on the new riddle one last time. Because after that, in till after Christmas they will not think about the puppet master. After all it was family time and nothing was going to ruin their Christmas.

The next evening at Epic. We find Christian, his brothers, father, god father, son and daughter in his office. Danny had her feet up on the love seat. As the men were talking , she was thinking about the riddle.

What is said to be a pair but not always identical?

Ok Everyone, we have to figure this riddle out, because this seems to be the only way to figure out who the puppet master is. Any ideas?

Christian said to the room. No one in the room, said a word. Christian went one by one around the room and nothing. Then he turned to his Mini Me. But she did not seem to be paying attention

Danny?

When Daniella did not answer, CJ tapped her shoulder. When Daniella spoke she did not answer her father or fiancé. She made more of a statement.

I got it.

You got what Princess ?

I know the answer to the riddle CJ.

An what would that be Princess?

Twins, think about it Sal and Val are a pair of brothers but are not identical.

Everyone in that room agreed that must be the answer to the riddle. All the men also agreed that they had some dam smart women in there family. They would be lost with out them.

Christmas Eve morning at the grove. Christian had been awake a while just watching his beautiful Princess sleeping in his arms. Even after 20 years of marriage, he still can not figure out how he got so lucky to have her as his wife. When Christian felt her starting to wake, he kissed her hair and pulled her even closer.

Merry Christmas Eve Princess

Ana slowly opened her eyes, to see her husbands smiling face.

Merry Christmas Eve Christian.

Even with Ana still laying in his arms, he kissed her breathless. They just stayed in comfortable silence. After a few minutes Ana spoke.

Christian, I need to pee.

Christian smirked and pulled Ana close again.

What do I get, if I let you up Princess.

That put a huge smile on Ana's face, they have been doing this for years. An she loves it.

How about a kiss now and a kiss when I return.

Deal.

Christian got both his kisses and then Ana and him got ready for the day. Mac must be taking care of the younger kids, because they would have been knocking on they parents door already. Jason, Elliot, Luke, their family's, Grace and Carrick will be arriving soon. The Grove had more then enough bedrooms, so they will be sleeping over tonight. So they will all be together Christmas morning. The Family had a big Day a head of them, everyone from youngest to oldest had a part.

Grace, Sophia and their girls and John will be preparing for the feast of the seven fishes. (Christmas Eve is a vigil or fasting day, and the abundance of seafood reflects the observance of abstinence from meat until the feast of Christmas day itself. ) The Granddads Theo, Carrick, Mac and Luca will be keeping an eye on all the younger kids. The kids will be making crafts all day, they will give them as Christmas presents tomorrow. Daniella and CJ are in charge of tracking Santa. CJ also was making sure Daniella relaxes. Yes she is not far along, but her family still did not want her to over do it. Christian and his brothers (MJ and Frankie are also at the Grove) are in charge of getting the dining room ready . After all there will be 39 people eating in that dining room. Nancy and Damian will be joining the Grey's for Christmas and Christmas Eve dinner. The older boys will be playing Santa after the younger kids are in bed and putting all the toys out.

It was a long day, but everyone had so much fun. The ladies and John had made so much food and like normally, there was none left when their family got to it. After the younger kids opened they new PJ's, MJ read them the night before Christmas. Now Grace does not buy her older grandkids PJs anymore, but she still buys them a little something for them to open every Christmas Eve. This year she got them key chains. That said.

I Love My Grandchildren

To The Moon and Back

After all the little one's were tucked into bed and asleep, the adults cuddled close to they significant others, for a nice glass of mulled wine. Well everyone but Daniella and CJ. Daniella said he should, but no he is fine with what ever his bride to be is drinking. After all how could he take care of her, if he is drinking. Around eleven the couples exchanged gifts. Tony was the only one not opening a gift because he and his girl exchanged gifts the other day. Nothing given that night compared to Nancy and Damián's gifts. At the stroke of midnight, in front of their family, both twins got down on one knee and popped the question.

Sal had a Princess Cut enhanced Blue Diamond Crossover engagement ring for Nancy. An Damien got a white gold men's princess cut blue Diamond ring from Val. An with a kiss and a yes the twins were now engaged. Ana, Grace and Sophia looked like evil masterminds when the big excited smile crossed they faces at the thought of three weddings to plan. After that, they all headed to bed. After all they will be lucky, if the kids sleep past 7am.

At 7:02 am the triplets were knocking on their parents door. The boys had picked their sister to do all the talking.

Mommy, Daddy Santa's been here.

That put a smile on Ana and Christian's faces. Christmas has always been their favorite time of year with their kids. No matter how old they are. They changed quickly and no sooner had they kids in their arms. As this was happening the other kids were waking up their parents and Grandparents. The huge living room at the Grove was filled half way with presents from Santa. So the family just barely had enough room to get comfortable to open their gifts. The kids got everything they asked Santa for.

Ana, Grace and Daniella got crystal plaques from their husbands and future husband.

Grace's Plaque read

Grace,

By simply being yourself. You've shown me the

best way to be me. By having faith in my dreams.

You've made me proud to be me. For you've given me

a gift. I will cherish my whole life through. One that money can't buy and time can't erase.

The gift I cherish is You!

With all my heart

Carrick

Ana's Plaque Read

Ana,

If I had to live my life again. I'd find you sooner

So that I could love you longer.

Love, Christian

Daniella's Plaque had a clock and Read

Yours for all Time.

Today, forever and always

Love CJ

The Ladies absolutely loved their gifts. They had soft tears in their eyes as they read their gifts. It showed them just how much the men, trully love them and they know them so well. The women gave their men a sweet passionate kiss in thanks.

The Ladies showed the men they know them just as well also, with their gifts. CJ got a new smart watch from Daniella. Christian got a machine gun whiskey holder and 4 glasses. You pour the drinks by holding the gun and pulling the trigger. Carrick's gift actual brought a tear to his eye. To most it would seem, just like a normal wallet. But it was the picture engraved on it that got Carrick. It was his favorite picture of him and his boys. From a long time ago, it was taken just after Elliot was born. Carrick's back was to the camera. Elliot was sleeping on his bicep as Christian and Jason leaning against his legs. The boys were facing the camera. They were in jeans , even Elliot had a jean diaper on. There was only one copy of that picture and he thought he had lost it. He always kept it in his wallet. But thankfully Grace took it for his Christmas gift.

All the kids helped to clean up the mess from all the wrapping paper on the floor, as Grace and the ladies made breakfast. They had an amazing Christmas together. No thoughts of the Puppet master twin brothers, it was just family time. That was till after they put all the little kids to bed that night. Around 10:30 that night, an alarm went off all everyone's phones. There was an attack on the main gate house. Christian, his brothers, Carrick, Mac, Theo, Daniella ,CJ and Tony ran to the kitchen where they guns were locked up safe. The kids CPOs headed towards the kids doors, after the women were safely behind those doors, they barricaded the two doors. After 6 minutes Welch from Christian's crew made it in the living room, with a report on what happen.

Welch told Christian that the house and perimeter was all safe so the women can come out of hiding. After they reassured the women that all was safe, they headed into Christian's study. After all were seated, Welch told them what had happened at the gate house. About 2 minutes before Christian and the others got the text, what appeared to be a drunk driver pulled down the street. But when they got to closer to the Grove, they seemed to have sobered up pretty fast. They shoot twice at the gate house and throw a brick through the window and drove off. Alexander just so happen to be getting in his car when they drove up. So when they drove off Alexander went after them and caught them. So those two fuckers were on the way to the ware house with the rest of Christian's crew. But that information was not what had everyone's attention at the moment. What had their attention was the letter that was taped to the brick. Christian read the letter out loud to everyone in the room.

Don Grey,

I'm trully disappointed. I have given you two clues to my identity. An you are still no closer to finding out who wants to hurt your girls. Have you not learned anything from your Granddad Theo. After all he grew up with riddles. So maybe with another riddle, you will figure out who I am.

I maybe your blood but I'm bloodless and cold?

Christian finished reading the last line, then they all turned to look at Granddad Theo. Who had gone Ghost white. After a few minutes of dead silence and with a shaky voice Theo finally spoke.

I know who the puppet master is Christian.

We come to the end of another chapter. Granddad Theo has figured out the next riddle can you? The next three chapters will bring three more riddles. Theses riddles will help Christian and the others figure out where the puppet master is located. After all in the next Chapter you will learn two things. The identity of the Puppet master and the gender of Daniella and CJ's baby. Please leave in the reviews, what you believe the answers to the riddles are. The one that answers the most right, will get the chance to choose something that will happen to CJ and Daniella in the last chapter of Part 3. This choice will effect them in the last installment of my 50 shades mafia series. The chapter will take a bit longer to write, because it should be at least twice as long as this one.
