CPOV

The background checks on Ana's boss all came back ok. He has no criminal records and does not seem to be a bad guy. I am not buying it I just have a bad feeling about him. Max loves everyone and for him to react the way he did, about him that says a lot to me. It's been two weeks since the boss incident and everything seems quiet. I have had Sawyer on protection detail since my suspicions started. I know it's wrong to be doing this without Ana's permission but she is the mother of my child. I need to protect them both. Max and I have been spending a lot of time together. I know have lunch with him every afternoon while Ana goes to work. Tonight is a big one for us all. Ana has a work event tonight so I am going to her house. Max and I are spending the night together just us. Ana has been such a mama bear in constant worry. She keeps apologizing to me but I understand how she is feeling. I hope as more time passes she will be more at ease with me being with Max alone. I know she trusts me and she knows I would never allow any harm to come to him. She is his mama and I can't imagine how stressful all the changes have been on her.

I leave the office early today as I plan to get to Ana's earlier than she asked me. I think it would be nice for her to be able to get ready without having to run around after Max. I don't think I could thank her enough for bringing our boy into this world. She deserves so much; in time I plan on giving her the world. I am starting to have feelings for Ana and they are really strong. I did go to see my therapist Flynn and he believes that I just feel for her because she is the mother to my son, but it is deeper than that. I admit I want to be with Ana and I want the three of us to be a family. All of the things I never wanted in life I want more than anything now. I get to the house and I knock on the door and I can hear Max yelling to Ana. Ana looks surprised to see me and is wearing her pjs which I think is really cute.

" Christian you are really early."

" I know, I thought I would come early so you can take your time getting ready while me and little man hang out."

" Thank you that is so thoughtful of you. I appreciate it so much as Max is pretty hyper today, and this is how I would have been going to dinner."

"Wistian come play."

Yes, for the past two weeks I have been Wistian again. I can't wait until me and Ana tell Max that I am his daddy, so I can be called it as being called by my name breaks my heart. I know Ana's reasoning for waiting is until we have a better bond, and more of an established relationship and Mama does know best.

" I am coming buddy. While we play Mama is going to go and relax and make herself even more beautiful than she already is."

" Mama pwetty."

" She sure is buddy."

I see Ana blush as she gives Max a kiss and heads to her room to do whatever she needs to do. We are playing with Max's new cars I got him last week when we went out to lunch. We passed a toy store and Max saw them in the window and daddy couldn't resist on buying them. Mama was not best pleased but when she saw how happy Max was she let it go. All of a sudden Max starts to scream and I panic as I don't know what is wrong with him. Ana has run down the stairs so fast I don't know how she did it. Once I see her in nothing but a towel soaking wet I forget about how fast she got down here and I am so happy she's here.

" Max baby what's wrong are you ok?" Ana rushes over to him and pulls him into her arms.

" Mama wooks its soooooooo coooooooollllllllll."

I see Max point to the tv and it's a trailer for the new Jurassic world film. Both Ana and I are about to have heart attacks and Max is screaming because he saw a dinosaur on tv.

" Max Steele how many times have we talked about you not screaming like that unless something bad is happening."

Hearing Ana say Max's last time name makes me feel like shit as I really want him to be a Grey. I have to discuss with Ana about getting my name on his birth certificate as I would like it to be official.

" I sworry Mama I woves you."

" Christian are you sure about tonight, I am sure I will be able to get out of my work thing."

" Ana it will be fine go back upstairs and finish getting ready us men will be fine."

" Wes Mama we is men."

I can't help but laugh at Max he can be so funny for someone so young. I am surprised that Ana never realized that she was standing in front of me in just a towel. I am not complaining and a part of me wished the towel would have fallen to the floor while Max wasn't looking. I have asked Gail to make dinner for this evening and Taylor will go and collect it. I am not the best in the kitchen and don't want to poison my son. Gail is really excited about meeting Max and asks about him all the time. Max's room is now ready at Escala and so is the guest room next door, for Ana in case she ever wants to be here with him. Elliot made sure he made a second dinosaur bed for my place as it's the same as the one Max has at Ana's. Next weekend Max and Ana will be staying at Escala on Friday night then we will be spending Saturday at my parents' house, as they want to spend time with their grandson. My mother went crazy when designing Max's room and Mia helped go wild shopping for clothes my son. He already has a ton of stuff in every home. I know my mother spoke to Ana about it and she was overwhelmed at first but she knows that my family want the best for Max, and she seems to be slowly

coming around to us. Taylor has dropped off the food and he helps me heat it as he is always saving my ass.

" Tay Tay hi"

" Hi Max how are you?"

" Am ok yous wanna play?"

" I wish I could pal but I have to get back to the wife."

" EEEEEEEWWWWWWW Tay Tay wikes girls."

I can't but laugh at my son, Taylor is a big guy but Max has no problems in saying anything he likes to him and I love it. Taylor says his goodbyes and we sit down to eat Max keeps making sounds every time he takes a bite of food. I am guessing he is loving Gail's cooking just as much as I do. Dinner went really well and Max ate everything on his plate. Well everything was going smoothly until Max accidentally squirted juice all over my T-shirt. I take it off quickly before I get sticky and the doorbell rings. I pick up Max and tell him to go play with his toys while I answer the door. I open the door and there is the biggest prick in the world standing there with flowers. What the fuck is his game turning up here with flowers, is he for real right now? He does not look impressed to see me at all and I am grinning as I am enjoying the fact that I am bothering him.

" Hi I am Jack Hyde. I was not expecting a man to answer the door."

" I am Christian Grey and I will be answering the door here for the foreseeable future." That's right prick I aint going nowhere.

" I am here to pick Ana up for dinner."

" She will be right down."

I don't invite him to come into the house any further, but he takes himself to the living room like he is comfortable here which pisses me off. As soon as Max sees Hyde he runs straight to me and I pull him up into my arms and he has a tight grip on me. I want to know why my son is reacting this way to this man. If he has so much as looked at Max I am going to kill him. I see Ana walk down the stairs and she looks so beautiful, Max asks to be put down and he waits for her at the bottom of the stairs. Ana looks really surprised to see Hyde here which just adds to my list of questions. She is shocked when he hands her the shitty flowers he got her. I can tell she is not pleased by this gesture as she just places them on the side and doesn't bother to put them into water. Ana has not taken her eyes off me yet. She has never looked at me in the way she is right now before.

" Ana why is there a shirtless man in your home?"

Oh right I forgot I have no top on well keep looking you prick because I know my body looks good. I am guessing from Ana's lip biting she knows I look good to.

" Max why don't you go and pick a film for you to watch." Max heads to the living room. I guess so Ana can explain to her prick of a boss who I am.

" Jack this is Christian he is Max's dad."

The look on his face is priceless. I know what he is thinking we fucked and are we are still fucking. I wish but he doesn't know the details I am enjoying the fact that I have annoyed this fucker, and I will continue to do it more and more.

" Oh Ana I thought Max's dad was not in the picture."

" I am very much in the picture not that it is any of your business." Ana's face is now bright red and I think its best if I say no more on this subject.

" Well Ana have a good evening and me and little man will be here when you get home. Max come and give Mama a kiss."

My son is too cute coming over to kiss Ana because he is pouting. I know he doesn't want her to go and if he had his way we would both never leave the house.

" Be a good boy I will be back soon I love you."

" I woves you mama now kiss daddy." Oh his timing could not have been any more perfect. The look on Hyde's face is priceless. Ana leans in and kisses me on the check and whispers to call her if we need her. After Ana leaves me and Max get cozy on the sofa, as I will start his bedtime routine soon. I can't help thinking was this work event Ana was telling me about a date as no one's boss would turn up at their home and bring flowers for a work dinner. I really hope Ana is not involved with that prick according the all the information I have gathered there is no sign of Ana having a relationship with any man but it's possible. I am going to stress myself out over this. Is it because I am in a way jealous or is it because I am concerned
