Title: FSOG: From Heartbreak to Happiness?
Epilogue
***Weeks Later***
(Being engaged to the love of their life was everything they could have imagined and more. Anastasia truly felt like the luckiest girl in the world to be with Christian. As for Christian Grey? Everyday felt like Christmas to him because he got to be with the love of his life. He never thought it was possible to be this happy. He thought he was happy with Elena but he obviously thought wrong. Anastasia Rose Steele was his queen and he vowed to treat her as such forever)
(Preparing for the wedding was a bit stressful. Only because the bride-to-be and groom to be wanted everything to be perfect. Truth be told, as long as Christian could call Anastasia his wife in the end, that's all he cared about. Anastasia wanted her dream wedding, so Christian wanted that too. Anything she wanted, he delivered)
(Kate also helped out with the preparations, as well. Ana called Kate her little lifesaver. Elliot offered to help out with anything. Of course, Kate took her beau up on his offer. Whatever the ladies needed help on, Elliot was a godsend with)
(As for Kate and Elliot's relationship, they have officially been living together for two weeks now. They looked over his apartment and agreed that his place was big enough for both of them and for both of their things. The second bedroom was turned into an office for when Kate occasionally worked from home. That was Elliot's idea and Kate appreciated that. It didn't take long to determine that they both loved living together and it was the best thing in the world. Elliot was glad he asked Kate as he was nervous she'd say no. Boy, was he wrong. Little did Kate know that Elliot was taking steps to ask Kate to marry him. He figured it was too soon to ask her being they just moved in together. So, he decided in a few months when things were solid and going even greater, he'd take the next step. He couldn't wait to make Kate his forever)
(As Christian and Ana continued to plan their wedding, they enjoyed engagement life at his place. Christian was both happy and relieved when Ana agreed to move in with him. He jokingly said she should have been living with him for months now. Of course, Ana punched him in the shoulder and smirked, telling him to watch it. After pouting a bit, she soothed his 'hurt' shoulder and kisses him on the shoulder. He smirks right back that he couldn't wait until their wedding night as he planned on making love to her all night long and making her cum as many times as she'd tolerate it until she passed out from exhaustion. She gasped in shock at how open he was with his words before rolling her eyes and remembering who she was marrying. She then whispers in his ear)
Ana: "Just you wait, Grey. Two can play at this game."
Christian: (raises his eyebrows) "I'm counting down the days, Steele. The day after tomorrow, you'll be all mine and I can't wait."
(That night Christian made wild passionate love to his girl, making her cum as often as he promised. He was right on one thing...he made her exhausted, but in a good way. She offered to return the favor, but he politely turned her down. He wanted to pleasure his soon-to-be wife tonight. In two days, they would pleasure each other. Afterwards, they drifted off into wonderland and slept)
(The next day was the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Elliot, Taylor, Sawyer, Carrick, and Christian relaxed at Elliot's and Kate's apartment for beers and games while chatting. Elliot privately told Christian about his plans for the future regarding Kate and marriage. Christian assured his younger brother in a few months they'd both be ready once they were completely settled at their home. That calmed Elliot down)
(Meanwhile, at Christian's condo, Ana, Kate, Mia, Grace, Gail, and Ros were all having fun. They were having a glass of wine and gossiping while occasionally watching a dumb comedy movie)
Kate: "Oh, my God!"
Ana: "Where'd you get this movie?"
Kate: "It's an old one of Elliot's."
Mia: "Um, this definitely has to be the worst comedy movie I'd ever seen."
(They all laugh in agreement to "Jennifer's Body". They couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a comedy or a bad horror film so they said probably a little bit of both. Kate gets the impression that Ana wants to talk in private by the way Ana's been looking at her. They go up to Ana and Christian's bedroom and Ana locks the door to make sure they're not disturbed)
Kate: "Okay, what's going on? You're really starting to scare me."
Ana: "I don't mean to. I possibly found out something today and I need your opinion on it."
Kate: (worriedly) "You're not sick or something, are you?"
Ana: (raises her eyebrows) "Oh, God, no! Sorry for scaring you." (sighs deeply) "I'm late."
Kate: (confused) "What do you mean 'you're late?'"
Ana: (glares at Kate) "Think about it."
(Kate gets the picture and briefly raises her eyebrows before nodding)
Kate: "Gotcha." (shrugging) "Have you and Christian been trying?"
Ana: (shakes her head) "No. I have no idea how he feels about kids. I mean, yeah, he does want them. But later. I don't know about now."
Kate: (tilts her head) "How do you feel?"
Ana: (nervously) "Honestly? I do want kids. I'm just not sure when. I'm also worried Christian may not want them right now."
(Kate rests her hands on her best friend's shoulders and reassures her)
Kate: "Listen to me, Steele. If Grey truly loved you, he wouldn't care when you two had kids. Sometimes kids aren't planned. Yes, I'm sure he'd like you to himself for a while. However, you don't even know if you ARE pregnant. You could just be that...late. Has there ever been a time when you and Christian didn't use protection?"
Ana: (rolls her eyes) "We always use protection."
Kate: "Was there a time you forgot? Or maybe the condom broke?"
(Ana thinks about it and honestly? She couldn't be 100% sure. She's on the pill, but she knows that the pill isn't always 100% full proof. As for Christian, she doesn't remember Christian using a condom because she was on the pill. Ana tells this to Kate)
Kate: "Okay, so the next step is either two things. One: buy a home pregnancy test. Keep in mind those are not always 100% accurate as it does happen that you can get a false positive. But most of the time you'll get correct results."
Ana: (nods) "Number Two?"
Kate: "Grace is a doctor. Explain to her what's going on and get a test done from her. I'm sure she can put a rush on it. It's up to you."
Ana: (bit concerned) "Do you think she'll judge me?"
Kate: "Honestly? No, I'm sure she'll just want to help."
(The best friends embrace each other before they go back downstairs to the guests. Ana goes to a slightly concerned Grace as Grace was wondering if her future daughter in law is okay. Ana takes Grace to a private room and explains the situation. Ana admits she was a bit worried that Grace would be mad. Grace takes Ana in her arms and comforts her. Then Grace tells Ana she's ALWAYS there for her. Grace says yes, she is a doctor. They will privately go to her office and find out if Ana is indeed expecting. Grace then smiles tenderly and if Ana was pregnant, Grace would be so happy for her son and daughter-in-law)
(Grace makes an excuse that her and Ana are getting more wine before heading out. They go to Grace's office. Ana didn't know how long it'd take for the results to come back. Grace assured her that she'd put a rush on them. Ana panics when she realizes that she had some wine tonight. Grace asked her how much. Ana said 2 glasses. Grace calms Ana down and says 2 isn't much so she should be okay. If it was more, then it'd be cause to be concerned)
(After taking a blood test and going through the necessary process, Grace said it should be done within 24 hours or less. She had an alert on her phone to let her know when the results would be in. Ana thanked Grace and gave her future mother-in-law a warm hug)
(Ana enjoyed the rest of her bachelorette night with her closest friends and family. She couldn't believe that tomorrow she would be marrying the love of her life. At long last, she would be getting her happily ever after)
***Wedding Day***
(Ana was checking out her wedding gown that her best friend Kate helped her picked out. It was as beautiful when she tried it on and is equally beautiful nowwith form fitting bodice with decorative beading and the simple flowing skirt. Grace, Mia, and Kate look at the bride in awe. Kate, who is in her maid of honor dress, smiles at Ana)
Kate: "You look beautiful, sweetie."
Ana: (grins) "Thank you. You picked out an amazing dress yourself, Kavanagh."
(The blue dress had a lacy textured bodice that cut in at the waist before flowing into a flowy silky skirt)
Ana: (happily smiles) "Mia, you look stunning in your bridesmaid dress. Thank you for agreeing to be in my wedding to your brother."
Mia: (tilts her head & smiles) "I would have been disappointed if I wasn't in your wedding. Thanks, Anastasia."
(Mia sways in her blue dress that matches with Kate)
Grace: "Ana, can I talk to you for a second?"
Ana: (nods) "Sure."
(They go into the ladies' room where they whisper in case someone is listening)
Grace: "I got the results of the pregnancy test you took last night at my office."
Ana: (surprised) "Already? O-Okay. Do you know the results?"
Grace: (shakes her head) "No. I just got the alert on my phone that the results are in. I sent a text to my lab technician, Sadie, to drive here with the results in an envelope to give to me ASAP so you can see them first."
(Ana smiles and nods appreciatively)
Ana: "Thank you, Grace."
(Grace briefly touches Ana's cheek with her hand and grins)
Grace: "Anytime, sweetie."
(They leave the bathroom, with Kate and Mia looking on in concern)
Mia: "Everything okay?"
Grace: "Yep."
(Kate goes to Ana and whispers)
Kate: "Talk to me."
Ana: (whispers) "My results are in. A lab tech is bringing an envelope to Grace who will give them to me."
Kate: "Do you have any thoughts either way on how you'd like it to go?"
(Ana raises her eyebrows and briefly raises her shoulders)
Ana: "Honestly? If I'm pregnant, I'll be happy because it's meant to be. If I'm not pregnant, it wasn't meant to be. We'll see how it goes."
Kate: "If you're not pregnant, it wasn't meant to be...yet."
Ana: "True."
Kate: "You two will know when it's right to have a child, girl."
(The friends smile at each other before Grace comes back inside)
Grace: "The weddings about to start."
(Grace goes to Ana)
Ana: "I wanted to thank you and Carrick for walking me down the aisle. I know you're not my parents. But, being I'm not the closest with them, I didn't want any friction between me and them today."
Grace: "First of all, Carrick and I are honored that you asked us. Second of all, we are just saddened that you're not close with Carla and Ray. But we don't blame you on not inviting them. It's YOUR wedding so you get to decide who's invited. You and Christian."
Ana: "I appreciate it."
(All of a sudden, Grace is briefly called out of the room and returns after a minute or two. Grace and Ana's eyes meet before Grace walks up to Ana and gives her the envelope. The two women nod before Ana takes a private moment to open the envelope and read the results. After sighing deeply, she stuffs the results in her dress and then goes to the gang again)
(Carrick walks inside and sees Ana and Grace. Carrick softly kisses Ana's cheek and smiles sweetly at his soon-to-be daughter-in-law)
Carrick: "You look beautiful."
Ana: "Thank you."
Carrick: "Are you ready to make an honest man out of my son?"
Ana: (laughs) "Yep!"
(Carrick offers his arm, which Ana takes, and then Ana rests her hand in Grace's. The wedding march starts with Mia and Taylor walking first. After a few seconds, then Kate and Elliot walk as they're the maid of honor and best man. Everyone was in awe at all the pretty dresses)
(Everyone stood when it was time for Ana to walk down the aisle. Christian was at the end of the aisle and couldn't wait to see his bride-to-be. He was prepared to shed a few tears and he wasn't the type to get teary eyed. However, when it came to Ana, he fully admitted that he did shed some now and then)
(As Ana walked down the aisle with her soon-to-be in-laws, she meets up with Christian, who offers his hand. Ana couldn't help but get teary eyed at seeing Christian so handsome. And the best part? He was going to be all hers in just minutes)
Priest: "Who gives this young bride away to be married?"
Carrick: "Me and my wife, Grace, happily do."
(Carrick and Grace take turns softly kissing Ana on the cheek before Ana happily rests her hand in Christian's and they walk closer to the priest. Christian leans in to his girl and whispers in her ear)
Christian: "You look absolutely breathtaking, baby."
(Ana can't help the blush from forming even though she smiles too. After walking to the priest, he goes through the wedding process. He then announced to the crowd that Ana and Christian will be saying their own vows. Christian goes first. He looks sweetly in his girl's eyes as he spoke)
Christian: "Before I met you, I didn't think it was possible to love someone like this. You make me whole, Anastasia. I love you more than my own life and I can't wait to grow old with you. I never imagined myself being a father. But, with you, anything is possible in life. As long as you're the mother of them, I can't wait to have kids. I love you, baby. You're my love, my life, my soulmate, my lover. Everything I am is yours. That's a permanent lock."
(The priest looks at Anastasia, who can hardly contain the tears)
Ana: "Before I met you, I thought I was destined to be alone. You know what happened with my last relationship. But you? You opened up my eyes to the world...and to you. You let me see that there were other possibilities out there. When I saw that you were one of them, I was the happiest girl in the world. You made me feel alive. You cherished me, loved me, accepted me for me, and never tried to change me. I have many flaws, but you looked past them and loved me unconditionally. For that, I give you my heart, my soul, my body, everything about me as it's a permanent lock. Everything I am is yours, my love. I love you forever."
(This time it was Christian's turn to shed a few tears. He sniffled and wiped his eyes as he smiled at his girl. Once the priest finished the wedding announcements, he pronounced Christian and Ana husband and wife)
Priest: (smiles) "You may kiss your bride, Christian."
Christian: (chuckles) "Gladly."
(The crowd chuckles at Christian's choice of words before Christian passionately kisses Ana. Everyone happily applauds the new married couple. Christian takes Ana's hands in his and they walk down the aisle as the wedding march plays again. Then the maid of honor and best man walk followed by the groomsmen and bridesmaid. Afterwards, the crowd gets up and forms a line to say their congratulations to the newly married couple)
(After the congratulations from the guests are done, Ana decides it's time to talk to her new hubby. They are in the limo on the way to the reception. Christian looks at his wife)
Christian: "Are you okay? You've been acting funny since right after we got married. You don't regret marrying me, do you?"
Ana: "Not a chance. But I have news for you, Grey. I hope you'll be happy about it as I think I am, too. It's a bit to process."
Christian: (turns his head slightly) "O-kay?"
Ana: (sighs deeply) "During your wedding speech, you talked about having a family with me someday. How would you feel if 'someday' was in nine months?"
(Christian's eyes widen in shock as his mouth parts a bit before speaks)
Christian: "Are you saying what I think you're saying, Steele?"
Ana: (nods) "Yep. I'm pregnant, Grey."
(Christian's eyes light up as he gently touches his wife's petite belly)
Christian: "How far along are you, baby?"
Ana: (shakes her head) "Not far along. About four weeks along. Your mom knows as she kindly helped me with the test. Kate knows, too." (tilts her head) "How do you feel about this? I know we haven't talked about having kids this early in our relationship or marriage. We've always been careful during intimacy. Obviously, nothing is full proof. I don't want you to think I planned this."
(Christian takes Ana's hands in his and kisses them before facing his girl)
Christian: "I would NEVER think you intentionally planned this. I know nothing is full proof no matter how much we try. Whether it's right now or 5 years down the road, I can't wait to have kids with you. I know you'll be an amazing mom." (chuckles) "Did I think we'd have children this soon? No. But I'd never be mad about it. God planned it and I couldn't be happier about it. Starting tomorrow, we'll get you set up with an OBGYN. Yes, my mother is a doctor. But, she doesn't specialize in pregnancy care. If you need help with anything, baby, just let me know. I'm here with you every step of the way."
(Ana couldn't stop the tears from flowing as she didn't know how he'd react upon hearing the news. To hearing he's happy? She was so relieved. She showered him with kisses before speaking)
Ana: "You have no idea how happy I am to hear this. I love you so much, Grey."
Christian: "I love you more, my sweet Anastasia. Our life is now perfect and complete."
Ana: (happily smiles) "I couldn't ask for anything more for our life together. We finally have our happily ever after."
