Christian's POV
6 weeks later
I know by now that Ana had her baby. When I bumped into them at Paris she was very pregnant. It's infuriating that she has a baby with him. She is mine. Even more, my own staff is betraying me by being friends with her but not telling me anything. I'm guessing that they are living in Paris considering they were walking the streets there. I will get another background check and find a way to win back MY girls.
"Welch"
"I need an updated background check on Anastasia Sawyer. I need it ASAP."
"On it sir. I will email you the results."
I hang up and stare at the portraits of Ana still hanging in my office. I'm good at playing a hard ass and pretending I no longer care for Anastasia but she is the only one I will ever love. I wish I could've gotten over myself and accepted the baby. Then I wouldn't have heard her calling Luke Daddy and the baby would be mine just like Ana is or was or will be again.
I have to be strategic in trying to win them back. I get snapped back to reality by the ping of my email.

I write down the address.
They have two sons and changed Kirsten's last name to Sawyer. He must have adopted her. Damn it!
She also apparently opened her own Publishing House and finished her other book. I need to read that.
I find a florist in Paris and have flowers sent to their home with a note:
Ana Luke,
I apologize for my behavior and would like an opportunity to be friends.
Congratulations on the birth of your sons. Feel free to call if you need anything.
Regards,
Christian Grey
That should be a good start. Now to wait until Kate and Elliot are married and I'm sure she will be there.
Ana's POV
The babies are now 6 weeks old and Tianna has been a lifesaver because we have both been exhausted. We hired another nanny/housekeeper to help her and help me with housekeeping because I'm so exhausted all the time.
Kate and Elliot are getting married next week before she starts showing too much more.
I hear a knock on the door and go to answer it. There is a man with a dozen sunflowers. He hands them to me and I thank him and close the door. I sit them on the counter thinking they're from my husband. I go find him working out and clear my throat to get his attention. I run and jump on him and kiss him passionately. He pulls back "Not that you need a reason but what was that for baby?"
"The flowers. You know I love sunflowers."
"I know you do baby but I didn't send flowers this time."
I look baffled at my husband. I get down and go back into the kitchen to see if there's a card and Luke is right behind me and puts his hand on my back as I reach the card and read it. I throw it down on the counter. "damn it."
"What is it?" I hand him the card and he reads it. "Son of a bitch. He's still persistent as ever. What do you want to do with this?"
"I will email him and straighten it out and at least be friendly enough for Kate's wedding. I love you Luke Sawyer. Love me. It's been too long."
He picks me up and I wrap my legs around his hips and he carries me to bed and makes love to me until we both cum gloriously. We lay wrapped up in each other. "I hate waiting for that but it was so worth it baby. I love you Ana. So much. Forever."
"I love you so much it hurts Luke. Thank you for everything."
"No need to thank me. I'm lucky I got a family out of it."
"Ugh. I got to go spend that email."
"Okay baby." He gives me a kiss. I get up and put on one of his t-shirts and panties.
I sit down at my laptop and fire up my email.

I press send and hope that placated him for now.
A week later
We are in Seattle for Kate and Elliot's wedding. Taylor picked us up from the airport and took us to Fairmont Olympic. We learned last time from staying with Gail and Jason that we don't like being an imposition. The kids and nanny came along. We gave Heather, our housekeeper/nanny the week off since we're staying here for the week.
I spent time with Kate and we went shopping and had a spa day to prepare for her big day. I go back to the hotel and Kate goes home. We get dressed for the rehearsal dinner. We decided to bring the kids along since Kirsten is in the wedding as a flower girl. We arrive at the rehearsal an hour later. I have James in my arms. Jesse is with Tianna and Luke has Kirsten walking with him. When we enter, I feel that familiar vibe that tells me Christian is near. I hate that I still feel his presence. I will always have love for him but I don't think this feeling has anything to do with love. It is pheromones. We walk towards the private dining area where everyone is waiting for us to arrive. I find him instantly staring at me. I smile and nod. I haven't spoken to the Greys since the incident at Kate and Elliot's last time we were here so it feels a bit awkward being here with them. Sawyer pulls out my chair and I sit and he gives me a kiss on the head and sits on one side of me and Mia on the other. Tianna sits at the next table over. I decide to break the awkward silence. "I apologize for my behavior last time I was here. Dealing with.." I twirl my finger around, "all of this was just a bit too much. It was my first time here in over 2 years and I was under a lot of stress dealing with… things."
"Darling girl. All is forgiven. What are your children's names dear?" Grace asks.
"This is James. Tianna has Jesse and this.." I run my hand over my daughter's head. "is Kirsten."
"Did you name her after?"
"Yes, Kirsten for Christian and Grace for you. I didn't know at the time if the situation might have ended differently."
"I'm honored that you named her after me Ana."
"Well you're an inspiration to me Grace. You will always be like another mother to me." I say as I reach out and touch her hand."
"You will always be a part of our family Ana." I nod. Everyone was listening intently to our conversation.
I give James to Luke and take Phoebe onto my lap so he can go change him. Tianna goes to change Jesse while they are at it. I ask Kate to watch Kirsten and excuse myself to go use the restroom. As I approach the bathroom, I hear familiar voices coming from the men's room. My husband and the nanny. I scoot close to the door and listen.
"It was a one time lapse in judgement Tianna. It was a mistake and should never happen again." My heart is instantly in my throat.
"I love you Luke. It was the best sex of my life. You even said so yourself."
"I was drunk Tianna. I love my wife. I don't want to hurt her." I gasp.
They must hear me because they come out. "Ana, it's not what it looks like." Luke says.
"What about the sex Luke? Tianna? You both betrayed me. Give me the babies."
I take the babies and walk back to the dining area, holding back tears.
"Kate, can you walk us out please? Luke and Tianna won't be joining me."
"Of course Ana."
We walk out to the car. After I buckle the children in, Kate temporarily gets into the car with me. I burst into sobs.
"Ana, what happened?"
"He cheated on me. With my fucking nanny Kate." I continue sobbing and Kate puts her arm around me and holds me.
"Oh Ana. Let it all out."
"He said he was better than Christian and I believed it Kate."
"I know hon. I will kick his ass for you."
"They fucking betrayed me!"
"Mommy, who fucking betrayed you." Kirsten says.
"Crap. It's a long story and don't say that f word again. It's a bad word Kirsten Grace."
"Sorry Mommy. Why are you sad?"
"it's adult problems baby."
"Okay Mommy. I love you."
"I love you too baby."
"They absorb everything." Kate says.
"Yes, they do. You can go back in. I'm good now. Tell him not to bother coming back to the hotel. I don't give a fuck where he goes at this point."
"Okay. I love you. I'll come over later and help with the babies."
"I will call Gail and see if she will help me out. You enjoy your last night of freedom. I love you too." I give her a kiss on the cheek.
She gets out of the car to go back in. I make a call.
"Grey residence."
"Gail, it's Ana. Can you come to Fairmont and help me with the kids please. Something happened and I'm alone. I will pay you."
"Nonsense. I will be there in 20 minutes."
"Thank you Gail."
I hang up and drive to the Fairmont to overthink the betrayal of my own husband.
Christian's POV
What just happened? Ana was angry. With Luke? Kate walked her to the car and took a little while and came back in looking just as angry. Luke came back out and asked where Ana went and we told him she left. He started to leave when he was confronted with an angry Kavanagh.
"What the fuck Luke?"
She hits him on the chest pushing him back. "I didn't mean to. It just happened. It didn't mean anything."
"Didn't mean to? Like she slipped and fell right onto your dick? I highly doubt that. Leave Ana alone tonight. I suggest you find another place tonight. If you don't leave her alone I will fuck you up. Also, send that little whore back to France while you're at it if you want any chance of reconciling your marriage, which I'm pretty sure you already fucked yourself on."
He hangs his head down. He cheated on my Ana. Son of a bitch.
"I need to tell her I'm sorry."
"little whore, you're fucking fired. I don't give a fuck what Luke says. Ana doesn't want to see your fucking home wrecking face again. Get the fuck out of my rehearsal dinner and go back to France and find a new home. As for you Luke.."
She slaps him across his face hard. "That's for hurting my friend. You already know what she has been through." I had that one coming.
The nanny takes off running out of the room and Sawyer leaves as well.
Kate sits back down and I'm tempted to run to Ana and hold her but I know I can't.
My phone rings. It is her. I stand and excuse myself.
"Ana?"
"Christian, is it okay that I borrow Gail until I can figure out when I can go home? I need help with the kids."
"Of course Ana. I told you. Anything you need. Taylor and I can fend for ourselves until then."
"Thank you Christian. I'll talk to you later."
"Later Ana."
I hang up and smile. She will talk to me later.
And she named Kirsten after me. I never put that together. I never wanted her to get hurt again but I may have a chance now.
Ana's POV
Gail is helping me put the twins down when there's a knock at the door. When I open it there stands my husband with a bouquet of white Rose's. "I suppose you think Rose's fix everything? They don't. But come in so we can talk and get this over with." I say, inviting him in.
"Ana, can I explain?"
"The floor is yours but be honest with me Luke."
"3 weeks after the boys were born, I was stressed and exhausted and drinking a lot. I remember bits and pieces but most was a blackout. I remember her flirting with me. I remember her sitting on my lap. I tried to push her off but I blacked out. I woke up naked. That's the morning I woke up in the family room. I don't remember sex but she swears it happened. I swear I don't remember having sex with her but I took her word for it. I had no evidence that I did other from a lack of clothes. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."
I just look at him searching for truth in his eyes and he appears to be telling the truth. "where is she?"
"Kate fired her for you and sent her off to the airport."
I pick up my phone to call our Heather.
"Heather, Ana. Please pack all of Tianna's belongings and have them moved to storage. She is not to enter the house. Also, after she tries to come and you send her to her storage unit, will you please catch a flight to Seattle to help with the kids."
"Is this about Tianna pretending to have sex with Luke?"
"It is. What do you know Heather?"
She told me she was going to convince him she had sex with him so she could get rid of you so she could have him. I think she slipped something in his drink. She admitted she didn't actually have sex because he didn't get it up but she was able to convince him they did."
"Son of a bitch. Thank you Heather. Call me after everything is taken care of."
"On it Ana."
I hang up. "She had admitted everything to Heather. You never had sex with her. She drugged you and tricked you. I'm going to beat that bitch down." I shake my head and wrap my arms around my husband. "if something like this happens, you cannot take this long to tell me. I need to know immediately. Okay?"
"Of course baby. I'm sorry about that. I was terrified of losing you."
"shh… it is over now. Make love to me Luke."
He scoops me up and throws me over his shoulder causing me to squeal. "Gail. Hold on baby."
"Gail, you can go home for the night. I asked Christian if we could borrow you and he agreed. It's Completely up to you."
"I'll be here in the morning Ana."
"Thank you Gail." I squirm out of Luke's arms and hug Gail.
I let Gail out and run back to my husband and jump in his arms and kiss him ferociously. "Where were we?"
He lifts me up and carries me back into the bedroom and throws me onto the bed. He climbs on me and kisses me while peeling my dress off of me. He stands up to take off his clothes and I bite my lip watching while taking off my bra. He crawls back up my body completely naked. He peels my panties off with his teeth. He licks and nips his way up my thighs and when he gets to my core he kisses, sucks and nips at my clit. I feel myself building. I have my hands in his hair tugging. He thrusts 2 fingers into me and I detonate around him. "so tight and wet Ana." He climbs back up my body laying kisses along the trail between my core and mouth along the way.
I push him and roll him onto his back so I'm straddling him. I pin his hands beside his head and interlock our fingers. "Let me do all the work baby."
I kiss him passionately as I slide down onto his massive erection. I slide up and down and around and around. "Fuck, Ana!" he proclaims.
I feel myself building again and I keep doing what I'm doing. "Cum with me Luke." I explode around his member and he cums with me. I continue to move, riding out our orgasms. "Fuck, Luke" I say as I collapse onto his chest. "You're amazing. Sorry I believed her."
"Don't be. She fooled me too. We need an older nanny we can trust like Heather."
"I agree. I'm gonna call Kate and then we should get some sleep."
I get up and pull on his t-shirt and venture into the living room and grab my phone and go back to lay down by my husband and call Kate.
"Ana? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. It's all a lie Kate. I talked to Heather and she confirmed Tianna made up the story and bragged to her about her messed up plan. Thank you for firing her."
"My pleasure. I guess I owe Luke an apology for slapping him." I laugh.
"You slapped him?" I look over at him and see him nod with a fake pout.
"Yes, I was pissed seeing you upset. I will see you in the morning to get ready. I love you."
"Love you too Kate."
I hang up and put my phone down and roll over to cuddle with my husband. "I love you Luke. I was so hurt when I thought you betrayed me. I'd die if you ever did cheat on me and I will take your balls off if you ever do hurt me. I promise."
"I promise to let you, but I won't ever purposely hurt you. I was just scared. I love you too Ana." I give him a kiss and drift off to sleep.
