Soooo sorry about the delay, I had like two ideas that could work with two different outcomes and it was hard to decide which outcome, which idea, I hope I made the right choice! This is just a small filler to move the story on.

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.

Ana

Jack and I leave the restaurant and he ushers me to his car. He's now taking me to collect my car so I can go home and wait for his next instructions. It's terrifying, I still don't know where my baby girl is and the only person I have to trust to help me bring her home is the man that could have killed me and my first child ten years ago.

The car ride is silent, I guess we're both reflecting some on what is going on. I mean, I can imagine how hard it must have been for Jack to ask for my forgiveness… or maybe it wasn't, what I think was a challenge for him was forgiving himself, I don't think he's actually done that but seeing him having found faith and watch him trying to right a wrong is just shocking and yet awe-inspiring.

"I will call you, as soon as I have something." He says as he pulls up just around the block from Grey's Publishing.

"Ok."

"Just trust me Ana, it's a lot to ask I know…"

"Just keep your promise and help me find her Jack. I trust you enough to put the life of my daughter in your hands because if I didn't trust you I'd call Christian." I tell him and he smiles uncertainly at me before nodding.

"Thank you."

"No, thank you." I reply as I get out of the car.

Once on the side-walk I watch him peel away before heading to pick up my cell phone and my car. I reflect on the conversation in the diner, hoping and praying that he was telling the truth the entire time. I know it's wrong but if it is the truth I feel so sorry for him, no one deserves to be raped by grown men in prison. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. I mean, these men are in prison paying their dues for their crimes, that's enough punishment right? I guess I can feel sorry for Jack because I believe he's sincere in his apology and his reformation. Like I told him, if I didn't, believe me I'd set Christian and the security on him in a heartbeat but as it is I won't unless I find out he's lied to me. If he's done that - I'll kill him with my own bare hands.

Once I'm home I go to the living room. Grace instantly gives me an embrace and I embrace her back. No one asks where I've been or what I've been doing to which I'm grateful, I'm not exactly the world's best liar so I could have cracked under the strain of being asked such questions.

"Any news?" I ask in the vain hope that while I was putting my trust in a man convicted of attempted murder my daughter may have been found.

"I'm sorry Ana." Grace says after a shake of her head, I sigh, in my heart I already knew the answer.

I take a seat on the couch and accept the embraces of my two eldest children as we watch the news. Across the state people are holding candlelight vigils, handing out fliers, really giving their help and support into finding our baby.

The last thing I want to do is just sit here, I feel so helpless being here doing nothing and after kissing my children I head out again. As early security don't bat an eyelid at me leaving. I guess with the main security all out looking for my daughter and Christian knowing that no one will let any of the other children leave the house, I'm free to come and go as I please. This is the freest I've been since before I said I do.

I pull up at Escala twenty minutes later. The press and public are all outside and with the garage full with the cars of security I pull my car up behind one of the police cruisers. An officer in uniform opens my door and gives me an apologetic look as he offers his hand for me to use to exit the low vehicle.

"I won't be long." I tell him but he shrugs, I guess he understands and will not ask me to move the vehicle.

I take the elevator up and as soon as the door opens in the foyer I hear the loud buzz of activity coming from the great room. It doesn't prepare me for what I find inside.

The great room as I know it has gone. White boards surround the place, police, detectives and uniform, security, PI's and all of the like are running around, fielding phone calls and stuff. It takes a minute for me to take it all in, that's until I'm crushed into my husband's chest, his arms engulfing me.

Christian

As soon as I see Ana I'm damn furious at her for coming here but seeing the hurt and pain on her face breaks my heart and makes it impossible for me to react to that anger. I take five strides over and grab her, pulling her into my arms and holding her tight. She looks up at me and I gently kiss her lips before letting her talk.

"Where is she Christian? Where's my baby?" She asks, her blue doe eyes filled with unshed tears.

"I'll find her."

"It's not Jack." She says and my eyes widen, what? Did she … "I just know it's not Hyde Christian."

"How can you possibly know that Ana?" I ask because she looks so certain.

"I don't know but I do. Who has her Christian?" She asks me, she knows something and she isn't sharing it with me, what the hell? Our daughter is out there and my wife is hiding something from me… I know Ana, she wouldn't hide anything from me if it was something that could bring our baby back to us. She'd throw herself into the darkest depths of hell to make sure our baby girl was ok and I know whatever it is she's hiding doesn't concern my finding Amaya.

"I don't know." I admit knowing she's going to hate me. It has to be me right? My fault?

"Find her Christian, look at people other than Hyde because I just know that it isn't him." She says and I nod, it doesn't mean I won't stop looking at Hyde but even if it's just Ana's gut instinct as a mother, her instinct as I've learnt over the years, is rarely wrong.

"I will baby. Go home, get some rest." I tell her, she looks exhausted but that's because she's not slept a wink other than when my Mom drugged her, she needs to sleep and eat too. "Have you eaten?" I ask my hand going to her stomach where our fifth child lies, growing stronger and stronger every day.

"Yeah, I had a McDonald's earlier. I went out to clear my head, to think away from all the grief in the house and just had a wrap for Grey number five."

"Good. I'm glad to hear it. Now go on get out of here." I kiss her and watch her leave, I'm glad she's eaten something, even if it is cheap junk food.

Ana

I make it into my car just as my cell phone begins to ring. I see it's a blocked number and answer it with hope in my heart.

"Hello?"

"It's Jack. I have some more information and a lead. Get the next ferry Fauntleroy Cover to Vashon Island, drive to Café Luna. I'll meet you there." Is all he says before hanging up.

With shaking hands I turn on the ignition and get going to the ferry dock. Whatever news he has is surely going to lead to the finding of my daughter right?
