I own nothing. Fifty shades trilogy belongs to E.L.James.
I decide to call Ana first.
Her phone picks up after the third ring.
Phoebe picks up the call, "Ana Styear"
"Phoebe?"
"Uh huh." she says as if not interested in the conversation, I chuckle.
"Hi, I am Christian." Your dad.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh." I hear her squealing. "mommy ist chwissian."
"Phoebe! You picked up my phone?" Ana scolds, but i can sense her smile.
"Bwut ist chwissian." She whispers.
"I will speak to him. You watch tv while I set up the table."
"Otay."
"Hi" She breathes.
"Hey, I am sorry to disturb but this is important."
"What?" she seems tensed.
"Well... uhm... an article was released by the Nooz this evening about all 4 of us."
"Oh." It's her only response.
"Ana?"
"Uh huh" she says just like Phoebe.
"I am sorry, I brought this on you guys."
" It's not your fault, I am just...trying to wrap my head around it all."
"I understand, I really am sorry. I should have known better."
"Don't worry, it was inevitable. anyways thanks for the heads-up. I need to talk to my dad."
"I have to talk to my family as well. Can I wish the kids night?" I hear too much hope dripping off my voice.
"Yeah sure."
"Christian wanted to say goodnight."
I hear some rumbling sound.
"Goodnight chwissian." Phoebe yells into my ear.
I hold the phone away from my ears."Goodnight to you too princess. Can you pass the phone to Ted?"
"Ted? Ist chwissian." she says formally.
"I wanted to wish you a good night Teddy. Sleep well."
"nwight chrissian. slip well."
Oh I wish I could sleep well, I never have except for the day when I slept with Ana, I smile at the thought.
"Good night." I hear her sweet voice.
"To you too, Ana. And I am genuinely sorry."
"Don't worry Christian. We will see what happens ahead, honestly I am scared about my father's reaction." She giggles and my day is made.
"Okay, Bye, talk later?"
"Yeah, Bye."
Now I need to tell my family, I call home as someone would surely pick up at this time.
"Mom?"
"Christian what a lovely surprise. How are you?"
That means she doesn't know. Thank God.
"I am good, are Dad, Elliott and Mia home?"
"They are. What happened?"
"Nothing, I was coming over so just wanted to make sure everyone is there."
"Christian... what is it?"
"I'll explain later. Bye mom."
I get ready to go over at my parents'. I don't know how they are going to react. They will love Phoebe and Ted after they meet them, I am worried about their reaction on Ana especially dad, he is too much in his lawyer role twenty four-seven. I hope they love her too, she is very easy to love.
Gretchen opens the door for me and fawns all over me.
Damn woman, I have two children. Back off.
"Christian, you called a bit late or else we could have had dinner together."
"No way, I wouldn't wait that long." Elliott pipes in.
"Oh My God, have you seen the Nooz." Mia comes in like a hurricane.
"I am here for that only, though I was hoping I could tell you first. So Mia please calm down." she pouts.
"What's the matter son?" dad asks coming out of his study.
"Let's go into the great room."
"Christian tell us everything, like right now."
"I am..." I take a deep breathe and continue "So I met a girl, Ana when I was in my sophomore year, before coming home for Christmas and we...um... yeah so we went apart and I wanted to meet her again, but she didn't come back to college, I also dropped. So I met Ana today, she is the designer I was meeting for furnishing Grey House, so apparently..." I clear my throat, muster all my strength and say it out loud, "Ana got pregnant and had twins, a boy Theodore and a girl Phoebe." I hear mom gasp but i continue nevertheless, " She invited me to go shopping with them and when I did we got papped and Nooz released an article about us."
I meet pin drop silence.
Elliott speaks first, "Woah, twins, you got great spawn bro." I smirk.
"I always thought they looked a lot like someone, but couldn't place it, now I know, OMG this is so exciting. I am an Aunt that too, to such cute kids, Oh Christian your children are so damn beautiful, literally beautiful." Mia gushes over my children and I agree they are beautiful just like their mother.
Mia shows my mom the article I think.
Mom starts crying, "Oh Christian, this is great but why didn't she you tell us."
"I didn't know."
"What do you mean, you didn't know!"
"She didn't tell me at first, she thought I would force her to abort them, and later she didn't know my last name to reach me."
"Are they even yours?" Dad asks venomously.
What the actual fuck.
Doesn't he have eyes.
"Can't you see, the boy looks just like him and the girl looks like her mother." Mom chides him.
"She has my eyes." I state proudly.
"I don't trust this girl." Dad says shaking his head.
"You may not but I do, and I am not going to insult her by asking for DNA report."
"Christian, what is so wrong in getting a test?"
"Nothing may be wrong from your point of view but I trust her enough to not question her on this."
"Carrick please, drop it. We have two grandchildren." Mom squeals. "So... When can we meet them?"
"I am going to spoil your children rotten Chris." Mia jumps excitedly.
"Soon, I'll talk to Ana. I think I should get going, I have an early morning meeting tomorrow."
As I am going to my car, Elliott comes after me.
"So.. kids huh? That too twins."
"Yeah."
"Scared?"
"Fucking scared. I tried to find Ana all this time and now... I have children. I don't know anything about them or parenting. How am I supposed to be doing this!"
" If anyone can do this, it's you, and that beautiful lady of yours she is going to help you through this."
"She's not mine...yet."
"Yeah, I would also be willing to fight for her."
"I am not letting her go this time."
"Good for you."
I come out of a meeting after two hours of brainstorming and it was not fruitful. I am exhausted, as i couldn't even sleep peacefully. Suddenly my phone starts ringing.
Who is it? At this time.
This better be important.
"Grey." I answer brusquely.
"Hello, Christian? Uh.. is it a wrong time?"
"Ana!" I breathe out a heavy sigh. "Hi. It's not a wrong time I am just exhausted."
"Still can't sleep at night?" She asks quietly.
She remembered.
"Not really." I don't really want to talk about it, so I try to change the topic. "What happened?"
"Nothing as such, I just talked to my father and... he... uh..."
"What is it?"
"He wants a DNA test."
That stuns me speechless.
He wants a DNA test.
What the fuck.
Thank you everyone who have been dropping their views on the story, sometimes it helps me to navigate the path of this story as I have no idea where it is going but I am going to keep the drama minimum and lot of fluff and cuteness in the story.
Somebody mentioned in the reviews that they can't wait for Tuesday. I am sorry but I only update once a week on Friday, I have been busy lately with studies and entrance exams.
What was your favourite scene, I liked when Phoebe answers Christian's call. LOL.
Please do drop a review.
