I do not own FSOG, FSD, FSF, any of its characters of affiliates. They belong to E. L. James and I will not profit from this.

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in this story so far, I look forward to seeing your reaction to it. Unlike Unwritten this story was planned with an ending in mind so sadly it won't reach the chapter quantity of Unwritten however in all honesty I think the fact there will be no more than one update per day will mean the quality will be much better. Of course, that is just my own opinion! Love Steff x

As we all sit around the patio table I can't help but wonder how Grey is going to tell Ana what has been going on for the past six weeks. Personally I've hoped he would tell her before today's result but I'm certain without asking that Ana hasn't found out yet. She's far too relaxed to know what's been going on and she tells Gail everything and Gail would have asked me about it.

Grey's eyes have caught mine many times through the meal. I know I have to tell Gail the truth tonight too which means that he knows how I'm feeling. Not that the boss would discuss it. All I know is Gail will worry but act like she's not and get mad about how it will affect the children, but Grey and I have agreed we're not willing to take any risks.

Teddy and Phoebe have been wrapped up in an argument about this game they were playing before dinner for the whole meal so far. Which both Grey and I have appreciated as it means both our women have been caught up trying to defuse that situation before it escalates and feed the toddlers to notice our mood.

It's going to be hard, the next few weeks the worst probably with the uncertainty floating around and the apprehension and worry we're all going to be feeling while trying to get our jobs done and get on with our lives like none of this is happening. I just hope that the boss and I are wrong and we're really overreacting but with these types of situations you just can't be sure and I would gladly die for anyone around this table.

"That is enough!" I snap. I don't often raise my voice with the children but with the tense atmosphere around the table I have really had it with Phoebe and Teddy's bickering and my snapping brings them to silence. "Now eat your dinner." I say calmly to my eldest two. They sense at once I'm not to be messed with and quickly grab their knives and forks and get eating. I glance at Gail, she feels like I do now I can tell. Our husbands are hiding something from us, Taylor obviously knows as he's Christian's right hand man but ever since they arrived back they've both had the same frown marring their brows.

"Did you have a good day at the office Ana?" Christian asks, I suppress a laugh at his trying to make normal dinner time conversation.

"It was ok, got what I needed to done but came home around four." I reply. He understands how hard it is for me to be away from the kids and so understands when I come home early it's for them. "What about you?"

"Yeah got stuff done." He shrugs. Stuff your hiding, my subconscious sneers being as useful as a chocolate chisel.

We all fall silent again, the only noise being the cutlery against the china as we all eat. Even Amelia and Amaya are quietly eating, a rare treat though this one I can't savour knowing there's something that my husband is hiding from me.

When we're done eating Gail takes the twins up for their bath while I help Trish with cleaning the table. Teddy and Phoebe get an hour and a half TV time before their baths and they waste no time going down to the basement. Taylor and Christian make their excuses to head to the office and I'm dejected when I realise Christian hasn't even touched me since he's been home.

Christian

"So security on everyone is doubled." I remind Taylor again, he and I are going to be interviewing the possible recruits for our team tomorrow.

For the past few years we've had one security personnel for each member of the family. I have Taylor as always and Ana has Sawyer, then there's Teddy who has Michael, a man who knows his stuff when it comes to personal security but also likes to act like he's a child and has manage to befriend Teddy making him not complain about not allowed anywhere without his own guard, that includes play dates and birthday parties and so on that Ana and I can't attend and even then Michael would accompany. Then Phoebe has Meeghan, an ex-Marine Corps who is as tough as nails and could probably beat the shit out of me yet has a soft and feminine look about her, she is like Michael too, always happy to get involved with my daughter's activities being as much of a friend or older sister. Then Amelia and Amaya have one each, two women also ex-Marines who served alongside Meeghan in Afghanistan. Rebecca and Kelly, they're just like Meeghan too and it's why they fit perfectly into our family dynamic.

"Yes Sir." Taylor replies as I pour us both a strong glass of hard liquor, we need it tonight.

"I don't want friends here Taylor, their jobs are not the same as our current security." I tell him firmly. "I don't care if they're male or female I just want my family safe."

"I know. I have the best lined up to meet with us Sir." Taylor promises and I know he's not lying to me, he wouldn't dare jeopardise my family. "I also want Security on the rest of my family, my Father will be letting them all know tonight what has happened and I doubt any of them will be stupid enough to take any risks. I want someone at the house with Patricia and Gail too, constantly and someone to be on night watch outside Patricia's apartment, unless… do you think she'd be willing… no never mind, no need to scare the girl, she doesn't even need to be told what is going on." I brush off thinking of asking the housekeeper to move in for the time being. She's still young, she may be terrified by what is happening right now and she doesn't need that.

"I know Sir, we're hiring twenty new security personnel all with specific job instructions and they will report to me twice daily. Then I have the company coming to upgrade the security software, add more cameras and I'm getting the gate upgraded to the Secret Service standard fingerprint recognition software that is unbreakable, it won't recognise a finger if there is no pulse so it can't even be picked up."

"You know what you're doing Taylor." I mutter hiding how grateful I am to him because in all honesty I'm panicking about this, though I won't let anyone know that. "Now I'm going to finish helping with the bedtime routine before sitting my wife down and telling her the truth."
