It's been 6 weeks since Michael was born and he is such a calm baby. The others were good and fairly calm but Michael is even calmer than any of them were.

Avery and the twins are in love with their new brother. Christian has been an outstanding father, yet again and the Greys come over often to dote on the babies. We were going to hire a new nanny to help Helen but Gail has insisted on helping her herself.

Gail wanted to have her own children but was unable to. She is like family, as is our other staff members. Gail loves all of our children like she would her own.

Today I was cleared for sex by my doctor and I got an IUD. I'm planning to enjoy some more time with the ones we already have. Christian, however, has been rallying to fill the house with more little Greys. After explaining my side of it, he finally relented reluctantly and is willing to wait.

I'm headed to Grey House with Sawyer to surprise my husband for lunch.

I arrive at the 20th floor where I'm greeted by Andrea, who waves me through.

I enter his office and see him crack a smile as soon as he sees me. "Mrs. Grey." He stands up and we stalk towards each other and meet in the middle and his lips collide with my own. "what brings my beautiful wife here today?"

"Mm.. I don't need a reason.. but, I was hungry for dessert and hoping you could oblige."

"I certainly can do that." He looks at his watch. "we have 20 minutes before my next meeting." His lips crash back into mine and he picks me up by my ass and carries me over to the couch and lays me down and lifts my skirt and is pleasantly surprised to find that I'm not wearing panties. "No panties Mrs. Grey?"

"just fuck me Christian."

"As you wish." He frees himself from his pants and kisses me feverishly as he penetrates my core. He fucks me hard and fast until we have glorious orgasms. "Fuck, I love you Ana. I've missed this."

"Me too. This is my home."

"Mmm… I've got to get up and get ready for my meeting." He gives me a soft kiss as he pulls out and he gets up to go get dressed.

I sit up and he walks over to his desk and grabs a pair of panties out of the drawer and brings them back to me. "Always prepared."

"Of course I am." He smiles and leans down to give me another sweet kiss. "rest and we can have lunch when I get back."

"Okay baby. I love you."

"I love you too."

He walks out the door and I lay down.

I wake up to my mouth wateringly handsome husband kissing me. "Ready to eat baby?" He asks.

"Yes, I am. I'm famished."

He helps me up and then I notice the food laid out on the table already. After we eat, I sit back, stuffed. "That was amazing food. May be my favorite, aside from my husband."

He grins at me and gives me a soft kiss. "more dessert?" he whispers against my lips.

"Mm.. yes please."

He bends me over his desk and fucks me senseless. After we both cum spectacularly, he pulls out and Carries me over to the couch and holds me until our breathing regulates.

"I need to get home to the kids. Will you be done anytime soon?"

"I can go now actually."

"then let's go."

He gives me another sweet kiss and we get up and get ready and head home.

We spend the rest of the day with our kids and then we go to bed and worship each other's bodies and get some sleep before we have to get back up with Michael.

Christian gets up and tends to Michael every other time. He really is the best father and husband.

The next day

I'm at work going through manuscripts when my phone rings.

"Ana Grey."

"Anastasia? When did you become a Grey?"

"Over a year ago, Mom. I called you and told you. You haven't been around for anything so why are you calling now all of the sudden?"

"I need your help. I got a bit of a debt and they threatened that if I didn't pay it, they'd come after you and your family."

"Mother, who?"

"A loan shark that goes by the name Bruiser. He showed me pictures of you and your kids and husband and said that you could afford to help me out of the debt or he would make you suffer."

"Let me contact my husband. Why or how did you get involved with a loan shark Mom? And how much is it?"

"25,000. I needed to start a business but it flopped pretty quickly and just ended up costing me money."

"Mom, what the hell? Send me information about this Bruiser. I need to know details. I have to talk to my husband before I can consider helping you."

"Thank you Ana."

"Don't thank me yet. If ANYTHING happens to my family, you will not be forgiven."

"Okay Ana. Just let me know if you can help. I'll send all the info I have to you."

"Okay. I'm headed to see my husband now."

I hang up and gather my manuscripts.

"Hannah, I'm going out for the rest of the day so please field all my important calls to Mike. If it is absolutely urgent, contact me."

"Okay Ana."

I nod and gather Sawyer and head to Grey House.

I make it up to the 20th floor and Andrea waves me through.

I walk into my husband's office and he looks at me and he must be able to sense my distress because he comes around the desk and meets me halfway and envelops me in a bear hug. I start crying.

"We need to talk. My mother really is trying to fuck up my life. First I need extra security at home for the kids."

"Whoa slow down and tell me what is going on."

"Put extra security on them now! We are a target because of my mother's careless actions."

"Okay baby. Have a seat on the couch and I will call."

I nod and make my way to the couch and sit down and put my head in my hands and cry some more while he calls Taylor.

"Ask him to come in. I only want to say this once." I say.

He nods and tells Taylor to come in after he orders a more thorough protection detail for the kids.

Christian comes and sits next to me and puts his arm around me. Next thing I know, Taylor enters. "Now that you're both here, My mother called. She is $25,000 in debt to a loan shark and he has threatened to come after us if she doesn't pay up so basically, my mother has yet again fucked up my life. I want to pay the loan shark, who is called Bruiser apparently, because I do NOT trust my mother to get it to him and I don't trust that she is being completely honest with me."

I look at the 2 men who are now on an obvious mission without saying a word.

"Well someone say something." I demand.

"Give us your mother's number and we will send some guys to pay this loan shark a visit. She can lead us to him." Taylor says.

"Should we pay him if it is real? I know chances are that once you pay one person off, more will come out of the woodwork and we will keep getting hit up by new people. This makes me very suspicious."

"We will send them with the money and if it turns out to be a scam, we will know sooner rather than later."

"Well send me a picture of this guy before you hand over anything. I want to make sure my mother isn't helping Morton in scamming me again."

"Morton?"

"The piece of shit stepfather. Number 3."

"She scammed you before?"

"Yes. When I started at SIP. She said she needed to get out of her marriage with Bob because supposedly he abused her. I fell for it and lost 10,000 and found out later that she stayed and she used up all the money, reportedly on Morton, before I found out."

"oh Ana." My husband wraps me in his arms.

"We will send pictures of Bruiser but in the meantime, we need to double up security for you all." Taylor insists.

"sounds like a plan. I want to go home and be with my family. Christian, are you done here?"

"I am now. Taylor please take care of this."

"Yes sir."

"Come on Ana. Let's go home."

I nod and take his offered hand. "I just don't want you away from me because God knows what these people have up their sleeves and I do NOT want to be kidnapped again. And if Morton is out there somewhere, I don't want my daughters to be subjected to that sick man."

"Taylor has it under control." I nod and he leads me out of his office and Taylor drives us home and they have a meeting in the security office. I go into Christian's office with him and I pull up my emails to find the information my Mom sent me.

I find it and forward it to Taylor. His phone number and address are on there so hopefully they can find out who he is. Attached are fairly recent pictures of my entire family.

"I'm scared Christian. Someone has to be close to us for him to get these pictures."

"I won't leave your side and you are more than welcome to carry your firearm on you until we find out who all is involved in this."

"Thank you Christian. Come with me to get it?"

"Of course."

He comes with me to our bedroom and I strap the gun to my thigh and we make sure everyone is wearing the panic buttons/tracking devices, and we come back down and spend the rest of the day with Avery, Teddy, Phoebe, and Michael.

A week later

It has been a week and we haven't heard anything else from my mother or anything new about this loan shark. He no longer lives at the address Mom gave me so I'm going to contact Mom and find out what is going on.

"Ana?"

"Yeah. We are trying to find this Bruiser but he no longer lives at the address you specified."

"You should just send me the money and I will take it directly to him."

"No Mom. We will deal with him only. Not you. And you know why. You fucked me over once. You won't do it again."

"Fine. Let me send you his phone number and you can call him."

"Is it a new number? We still have the number you sent us and it is disconnected."

"Yes. He recently gave me a new number."

I sigh. "send it and I will call myself."

"Okay honey." If I could slap her through my phone, I most certainly would because I have a feeling she is trying to play me.

"I'll call back later."

I hang up before she can answer.

She sends me the number and I call it. My husband is at work so I'm going to have Sawyer witness the call.

We go into my office together so I can make the call.

"Hello"

"Hello Bruiser. This is Ana Grey. Carla Adams daughter. I hear my mother is in debt to you and that you have threatened my family."

"Oh Anastasia. It is so nice to hear from you pumpkin."

Morton. "Steven, I need you to leave my family alone. We owe you nothing. If you leave us alone for 6 months, I will consider paying you. Go get the money out of my Mother."

"Oh, you are so wrong Anastasia. This is all part of your mother's plan. I'm just the person who will fuck up your life without hesitation. You fucked up mine with your child molester accusations so I'm just returning the favor."

I gasp. "Meet with my guys and I will send them with the money. Then you can leave us the fuck alone."

"You have grown to be a beautiful woman Anastasia and I will have you. If I have to go through your children to get you then I will. I will start with the oldest one. She is quite a beauty."

"STOP! No you won't Have any of us." Sawyer signals to me that he tracked his location. "leave my family alone, understand?"

He laughs and I hang up. "Sawyer, where is he?"

"Somewhere on the property. I want everyone in the panic room now."

We gather up the kids and go to the panic room and Sawyer locks us in.

Thank God I relented on the installation of a panic room. I really didn't want to. I certainly didn't want to have to use it… ever.

3 hours later someone finally opens the panic room door and I'm pleasantly surprised to see my husband. I jump into his arms and he holds me as I cry. "It's okay baby. We got him."

He let's me go after giving me a kiss and kisses and hugs our children. "can we leave this room now?"

"Yes. The police are holding him now for trespassing and suspicion of extortion."

"What about my mother. She is involved."

"We will have them question her."

I nod. "Thank you Christian for this panic room because I was definitely panicking. This room makes me feel safer though."

"That was the point. We hope we never have to use the room but it gives us a secure place to stay when there's a situation. I will do anything to ensure my family's safety."

"You are amazing. I love you." I give him a sweet kiss and take Michael up to his room and rock him in the rocking chair while feeding him.

Once he falls asleep, I put him into his bed and go back to my family, where we try to make this day seem as normal as possible.

We put the kids to bed and go to bed ourselves and he makes love to me and we fall asleep in each other's arms.
