Ana

"Ana come on!" Mia yells, sometimes that woman has perfect timing. I kiss Christian and follow Mia and Kate inside. We slip into the family room and close the door behind us, it's so great to be away from everyone for five minutes to talk to my sisters.

"So come on, spill what do you know about Hyde being out?" Kate asks passing me a glass of wine, Mia with a small one in her hand which she sips extremely slowly, making it last just like Grace taught us when we were pregnant before.

"There's not much, I know he's out, I understand why Christian didn't tell us I mean he hoped he could stop it from happening and we'd never find out that there was a single chance of him getting out." I reply sighing.

"Oh come on Ana!" Kate snaps. "He kept it from you and Mia and you're the two who could have kept him inside behind bars where he belongs!" I know she hates the security that's surrounding her family, we're just not taking any risk and that's with Kate and Elliot and their family too.

"I know Kate." I murmur. "I'm not defending him."

"Yes you are." Mia giggles. "But Ana's right Kate, the last thing any of us want is stress it doesn't do anything good to be stressed, Christian knows he was in the wrong now but we shouldn't dwell on that, so come on Ana what else do you know?"

"I know Christian has a team of investigators on Jack Hyde letting him know the scums every movement. We'll be fine guys. Hyde's not coming anywhere near us."

"I hope you're right." Mia shivers.


Christian

I stand and watch as my kids play. Ana didn't answer me, just walked off with Mia and Kate and a bottle of wine. I know the girls have always been close, they take the sister thing far too seriously sometimes and I'm sure that Ana confides some things in the girls she doesn't tell me, like maybe her worries and fears, she's never really been open about those with me.

Hopefully she'll want another child too. Just one more. The twins were a complete surprise but I want one more to complete our brood, I'm not asking much of her am I? It's not like we're old either, Ana's not even thirty two yet and I've only just turned thirty eight!

The twins' birth was dramatic and worrying and frightening for both of us. I acknowledge that but we could be even more careful next time right? We could have a nurse move in with us or something if need be. Money can buy safety … to some extent. I know Ana was lucky Mom was around when she went into labour. I never knew it could happen that fast but I soon learnt when I got home to find my daughters being born right there in our bedroom with Gail and my Mom.

"What's got you so deep in thought son?" Mom asks handing me a cold bottle of beer.

"I asked Ana if we could have another child." I say quietly, thanks to Ana over the years I've become much closer to Grace than ever before. I guess she gave me this relationship to and the same with the rest of my family. She's given me so much, if she doesn't want another baby I guess I could respect that.

"Oh, and what did she say?"

"Nothing, Mia called her over and she walked away without answering." I reply glumly, it's silly really that I'm so disappointed about this, especially when I wasn't particularly ecstatic when Ana fell pregnant with the twins. I mean I was happy with just Phoebe and Teddy and then Amaya and Amelia came along.

"Oh, how come you want another child?"

"I don't know, I just do. It's not like we can't provide for a child Mom, I want more." I reply knowing I sound selfish in a way, what Christian wants Christian gets like Ana shouts at me in arguments, it's not really like that I mean she gets away with her fair share these days like giving our children normal lives, she fought me tooth and nail about a lot of decisions when it came to bringing our children up and she still does. Like Teddy's first field trip to some museum, I didn't want him to go even if Ana was going with him as she didn't want to take more than one security but she won that argument, I said we could take Teddy on the weekend, fly out and he'd love it but no, she dug her heels in and won.


Grace

To hear Christian wants more children excites me. I want more grandchildren, as much as I can get. I mean, once upon a time I thought I'd never be a Mom being infertile but then I was blessed with three of the most beautiful children in the world and they in turn blessed me further with a husband and wives then they expanded again bringing in grandchildren for me to spoil rotten. Between Christian, Mia and Elliot I have ten beautiful grandchildren well nine and one due any day now and I love them all dearly.

Another addition to Christian's family would make my day, or year, or life. There was a time when I thought he'd grow old and alone up in his ivory tower but nope, here he is in his beautiful house on the sound with his wife of ten years nearly eleven and his four beautiful darlings. I think he wants another boy that's why he wants another child as three girls are probably a lot to handful Mia was bad enough on her own!


Mia

Talking with Ana and Kate has made me feel a whole lot better about this Jack Hyde situation. I won't deny it, I was petrified when I found out he was out. I never went to a shrink until that whole debacle and I know I should count my blessings that all he did was drug me and slap me around a few times, he could have killed Ana.

"All we can do is just hope for the best right now." Ana admits sadly, I can see that this situation is putting her down, she's terrified just like me and it isn't just us anymore, we have families, babies of our own to think about.

"Ana's right Kate, for all we know he's halfway around the world without a thought about us in the world." I laugh but my laugh doesn't last long as I grip to the side off the couch.

"Mia is everything ok?" Ana asks getting in front of me quickly.

"Uh Ana, sorry about your couch but… my waters just broke." I reply as calmly as I can manage.

"Ok any contractions?" She asks me calmly, of course if anyone would be calm about this it would be Ana, considering how things went with the twins I'd expect her to be panicking but not my sister.

"I've had twinges in my back all morning but I had them for days with the boys." I admit and Ana chuckles.

"Any strong ones?" I shake my head. "Ok, that's good is your labour bag in the car?" I nod, I'm focusing on taking slow and purposeful breaths at the moment. "Good ok Kate I'm going to take Mia upstairs and help her change and have a warm shower can you tell Ethan and Grace that her waters have gone but we're not on any full contractions yet, let them know where we are but tell them everything is ok?"

"Sure Ana." Kate is as white as a sheet and I can't help but laugh, after three kids she's as pale as a ghost about me going into labour.

"It's too early Ana." I say feeling a little worried.

"I know but remember they were off with my due date with the twins hence why they made a very sudden appearance into the world." She laughs softly as she helps me to standing. "They're not always right with these things even with all the technology in the world."

"Ok." I laugh awkwardly as we head upstairs.

Surprisingly I am not at all bothered when Ana strips me down and puts me in the shower. I love this bathroom, hers and Christian's en suite. He had a large bench installed in it when Ana was pregnant with Phoebe meaning I can sit down and try to relax. Ana runs around grabbing towels and setting up the blow drier before bringing out one of her old maternity dresses.

"Ok Mia how are we doing?" She asks stepping into the shower in her underwear, as I work through my first contraction.

"I'm ok." I breathe as soon as it's finished.

"That's good, I'm going to wash you up and we'll keep a check on the time before we go to the hospital."

"Ok." I nod, she's so calm and collected, like my Mom would be but we've always had a pact us girls, Mom gets to pace the waiting room and not be in the delivery room, cruel but kind of funny too. We just think she's let the fact it was family come to play if any of our labours went wrong but in saying that she didn't when giving birth to Ana's girls, she was cool and calm from what Ana said.


Ana

A part of me is completely panicking as I wash Mia up and get her out of the shower. Amaya and Amelia's birth goes through my mind on a loop as I count down the minutes till her next contraction. Once she's dried and in the dress I blow dry her hair, taking the time to make her feel beautiful like I did when I had Phoebe, it's surprising how much it helps.

"Ana, Mia can I come in?"

"Yeah." Mia calls, it's not my place to say anything.

Grace walks in with a smile on her face and kneels down in front of Mia. I remember how amazing she was birthing the twins and know if I'd do it again I'd want her there with me next time. She was just a star.

"How are the contractions?"

"Only had the one." Mia replies sourly, I think she wants this baby to come now.

"I'm counting." I inform my mother-in-law as I continue to blow dry Mia's hair with the near silent blow drier, ten years and it's as far as technology went near enough!

"Ok. Let us know then we'll see if we need to head to the hospital, Ethan has called Marisa and she's on standby now ok?"

Marisa is the midwife I had with Teddy, Phoebe and the twins as well as Kate with her three and Mia with her first pregnancy. She's made a small fortune just between us Grey women!

"Ohhh!" Mia groans through her second contraction gripping Grace's hand tight.

"Ana?" Grace asks and I look at my watch.

"Seventeen minutes."

"Plenty of time." Grace smiles trying to keep Mia calm though there's no need, Mia is as calm as a cucumber.
