I own nothing. Fifty Shades Trilogy belongs to E.L.James.

I leave Ana's place with a heavy heart, though I know we'll be meeting tomorrow it just isn't enough. I want her with me at all times. I have finally found her and I am never going to let her go.

I wake up yet again dreaming of Ana, and without any night terrors.

I have to pickup Ana around 10 so I respond to mails all morning.

Taylor and I leave at around 9, as I have to buy flowers for Ana and my mother. I pick up wildflowers for Ana and sunflower for mom.

I get to Ana's place at 9:57, and text her.

I am outside your place.COh, I am ready. Come in.A

I grab her flowers and leave, she opens the door as soon as I ring the doorbell.

"Hi." She breathes.

"Ana…" I sigh, she looks gorgeous in a maroon colour knee length dress. "You.. you look so… gorgeous."

She bites her lip, out of nervousness I think.

"You think? I couldn't really decide what to wear."

I take a chance and lean in for a kiss, to which she thankfully responds.

"I dont think, I know it."

"Come in a sec, let me just grab some stuff."

"Oh, I forgot. These are for you."

She blushes as she takes the flowers, "They are pretty."

She keeps the flowers in fresh water and picks up a bag from the slab.

"What's in this?"

"Oh just some chocolate cake I baked."

"Can't wait to try it." I wink at her and take her hand in mine as we leave.

I open her door, as she sits I see her getting a bit uncomfortable.

I take hold her hand while sitting, "What is it?"

"I am just…" she sighs "a bit nervous. I mean…. meeting your family is huge." She lets out a nervous chuckle.

"They're going to love you."

"Let's hope." She puts on a smile that doesn't reach her eyes.

"They will." I try to kiss her but she looks over at Taylor who is driving and paying no attention to us.

"Don't mind him."

She nods and I squeeze her hand.

I don't kiss her as she isn't already in a comfortable space and as of now, Taylor seems to bug her, she'll get used to it with time… hopefully.

Bellevue is only a 25 min ride from Ana's place, she is so nervous that her palms are sweating and her leg is constantly bouncing.

"Hey, don't be nervous"

"Easy for you to say." She gives me a somewhat pointed look.

"My family is not that much of a nutcase." A chuckle leaves me and she seems to let out a breath.

I open the door for her when we arrive, "You grew up here?" She says looking at the grandeur of the house, I mean it is pretty huge to be a house for 5 people to live in but my parents are well off.

"I did."

"This place is beautiful."

"It is, wait till you see the interior."

"As an interior designer, I can appreciate it." She shrugs playfully.

I take her hand and ring the doorbell, my mother comes out to greets us.

"Oh dear, you are so much prettier in person." She pulls Ana in for a hug who is blushing deeply.

"Thankyou Mrs.Grey."

"Please call me Grace. What is this?" She nods towards the bag in Ana's hand.

"This.. I just thought…. Um I could make chocolate cake for dessert."

"You're so sweet and thoughtful. Christian you got such a wonderful girl here."

"Don't I know that."

If possible Ana blushes harder.

"Come in, everyone is on the back patio. Here, I will keep this in the kitchen."

"I will come help you."

"No, you just go back there, I'll join you guys." She gives Ana, a very sweet smile.

When we reach to the back patio, I see dad making his famous lemon martinis while Elliot and Mia drink them without abandon.

"Ana!" Mia shouts as soon as she sees us approaching. "Oh God, you're finally here. I was waiting for you." She hugs the life out of her.

"Hi Mia." Ana responds with a giggle after coming out of Mia's embrace.

"Christian, its good to see you too."

"Thanks for the less than lukewarm reaction."

"Don't be like that, you know you are my favourite brother."

"What? Mia you wound me." Elliot comes from behind and places a hand on his heart dramatically.

"Oh shut up you know that already." Mia swats away his hand from his chest.

"You must be Ana, well I am the smarter and more handsome brother, Elliot." He greets her with bowing in front of her.

"Yes, I am Ana. Its nice to meet you Elliot."

"Likewise. Lemon martinis?"

"I will take one, just not now."

I see out of the corner of my eye that my father is looking at us.

"Dad."

"Christian." He gives me a tight lipped smile.

"This is Anastasia Steele."

"Hello, Mr.Grey."

"Miss Steele." He nods at her. The tension is too much to handle, thankfully Mom comes in time.

"Everyone, Lunch is ready."

I place my hand on the small of her back and lead her to the dinning hall.

"Mrs.Grey, you sure have a lovely home."

"Oh dear, call me Grace, and thankyou, it means a lot coming from you."

"Dont embaress me Grace, you have an impeccable taste."

Mom actually blushes at her words.

That is new.

When we all are seated Mom speaks, "So you both met in college?"

"Yes, we met at a frat party." Ana answers for both of us.

"You went to Harvard?"

Ana becomes stiff as she hears Dad's question.

"I did, Mr.Grey."

"And what was your major?"

"English literature and a minor in business. I had always wanted to own my publishing house."

"And you left Harvard just like that? Unbelievable." He mutters under his breath but I hear him anyway.

"Well, I was pregnant with twins. I just set my priorities straight." She shrugs it off, but I can see her leg bouncing under the table.

I take a hold of her hand and squeeze it, just to let her know I am there for her.

She smiles at me and I feel relief wash over me.

Dad nods at her words, but I am so angry at him for questioning her so blatantly, I will have a word with him later.

Mia starts asking Ana about the children, which she thankfully tells them. Everyone on the table is listening very carefully to what Ana is saying and I am sure I see mom taking mental notes.

We are too engrossed in the details of what the children do or eat that we don't even pay attention to our visitor.

Someone clears their throat behind us and we all turn at once.

I am sure all colour leaves my face as Elena is there standing in front of us.

Ana must notice the change in my demeanour as she winces a bit, but then settles.

Mia, Dad and Elliot groan loudly on her arrival.

"Elena! How good it is to have you here! Any specific reason why you paid us a visit?"

"I just saw Christian's car in the driveway and thought I could meet him, it's been a long while."

"Oh, how lovely! We were just meeting Anastasia, Christian's girlfriend." Mom greets her.

I feel myself getting warm all over as mom mentions Ana as my girlfriend, when I look at Ana is blushing hard.

"Ana, meet Elena Lincoln, she is a very good friend of mine and our neighbour. She helped Christian a lot during his teenage years."

And just like that I see the wheels turning in Ana's head as she connects the dots.

Her face turns white as if she has seen a ghost. She stands up in an instant and I also stand up in tow.

"I.. uh I need some air. Excuse me." Ana leaves the table and I follow her.

"Ana, stop!"

"What Christian?" She snaps at me.

"This isn't how it looks."

"Oh, I am sure I just got to witness a pedophile get all friendly with your family when she came to meet you. I don't know how it looks and how it should look."

"Ana!"

"No, You told me you don't have any contact with her!"

"I don't. I haven't talked to her in almost 3 years. Trust me."

"Then what is it about your family….." she gasps in horror. "You haven't told them, have you?"

"No." I look down at my shoes, too ashamed to meet her gaze.

"Christian! You have to tell them."

"I… I can't. My mom will be devastated."

"You have to understand, I can not leave our children with them when I know that a pedophile can pay them a visit anytime. I am sorry, I can't do that. You need to tell your family, for the sake of our children, your children."

The way she says our children it makes my heart skip a beat.

"I get it, it isn't easy."

She takes my face in her hands and stares in my eyes, "I am sure it isn't, but we have to do it. She is a vile woman, I can't even stand in the same room as her and your mother, she is so sweet. I don't even see why they are friends. You need to save her from this friendship."

I nod, I know all she is saying is nothing but the truth.

I need to come out to my family.
