It's been a week and we haven't heard anything more from Carla and Morton. Christian says his team has a plan in place. Hopefully whatever it is works because the only reason I've left my house lately is to go to work.

Our security team as well as Christian's have been keeping a vigilant eye on them and they don't seem to be doing anything out of the ordinary but from my own experience, that doesn't really say much. Looks can be deceiving.

I'm now 22 weeks pregnant with my 3rd son. The pregnancy seems to be going smoothly. I'm glad this is my last pregnancy though. I know Luke got his vasectomy but I'm still getting an IUD after the baby is born. Better safe than sorry. Maybe I'll revisit the idea of more kids in 5 or 10 years but for now 6 is plenty.

Today Kate is coming over for some girl time. Luke went to hang out with Jason since he is off work for today.

There is a knock at the door that drags me out of my thoughts.

"KATE! I've missed you!"

"Girl, we hardly see each other anymore. I have to insist on more frequent hangouts."

"Agreed. Until everything blows over it has to be here though."

"What do you mean Ana? Until what blows over?"

"Right. I guess I haven't told you about my mother and husband number 3 living down the street. Let's sit and I will fill you in."

Kate nods and we sit down. Kate knows about #3 but I spend the next hour explaining everything that has happened with them here lately.

"Wow. That's fucked up Ana."

"Right. Welcome to my dramatic life."

I ply Kate with wine and we spend the day chatting and watching movies until my husband returns.

Christian's POV

We've been watching Morton and Carla for a week now and they haven't been doing much but we noticed they spend a peculiar amount of time inside so, considering that Morton is a pedophile, Welch has hacked into his computer to check for child porn and we were shocked to discover a vulgar amount of child pornography in there as well as pictures of Ana as a teenager. It's absolutely disgusting. Welch deleted all the pictures of Ana off his computer and made an anonymous call to police to check them for child pornography. It may not help get Carla arrested but it will certainly take Morton off the streets so Ana can feel safe again.

I know Ana can defend herself against Carla as she has proven it.

After our anonymous call, our guys call in and let us know that the police arrived and served Morton with a search warrant and an hour later, he and Carla were escorted out in handcuffs.

This was a successful mission and I hope it sticks. Helping Ana with this is the least I could do for Elena and Jack coming after her and hurting her.

I'm still in love with Ana and I'm hoping if I'm kind enough to her and show her how much I've changed that she will eventually want me back. I know it is a longshot but she is worth all the effort.

I'm going to call Ana to let her know that they were arrested and at least Morton should be locked up for a long time.

I get my phone out and dial her number.

"Ana Sawyer" I want to hear her say Grey again someday. Play it cool Grey.

"Ana, it's Christian."

"What's the latest Christian?"

"Morton and Carla have been arrested for child pornography. They even had pictures of you as a teenager. We deleted them though. At least Morton should be in jail for a long time. I'm not sure if they will keep Carla."

"Oh thank you Christian. How can I ever repay you for your help?"

"Just continue being you. Maybe join me for dinner to celebrate?"

"I'd love to. I need to let my husband know."

"Let me know and I will pick you up at 6 if it is okay."

"Oh, it will be okay. As I've told you before, my husband trusts me."

"See you at 6 then. Later."

"Later Christian."

I hang up and sit back in my chair and smile. Operation 'winning back Ana' is still firmly in place.

Ana's POV

Christian helped to get Carla and Morton arrested. Thank God. I can deal with it if Carla gets out. It was mostly Steven I was worried about.

I go in search of my husband to tell him of this latest development and find him in the family room with the kids and Ella. I walk up behind where he is sitting on the couch holding Nevaeh. I kiss him on top of his head.

He looks up and smiles at me and I lean down and kiss his lips softly.

I walk around the couch and plop down on the couch next to him and grin. "I've got good news."

"What is it baby?"

"Morton and Carla were arrested for child pornography."

He grins back at me. "this is great. Now you can do more than work and stay home."

"My thoughts exactly. I'm going out to dinner at 6 with Christian to celebrate since he was involved in seeing to it that it happened."

"If that's what you want to do, I support it. I will celebrate with you whenever you get home." He looks at his watch. "You better go get ready. Not that you don't already look delicious but knowing Christian, you'll be going somewhere like the Mile High Club."

"Right. I love you Luke Sawyer."

"I love you too Anastasia Sawyer."

I give him another sweet kiss and kiss all my kids and wander upstairs and get dressed. After I'm dressed, I come back downstairs, I'm greeted by my handsome husband and kiss him deeply. "You look irresistible Mrs. Sawyer."

"Thank you baby." About that time, there is a knock on the door. "oh. That must be my date for the evening." I go to answer and there stands my Mother. "why are you here and who let you in?"

She pulls out a knife. "You took him away from me Anastasia. And we had a way in here for over a week. We have just been waiting for the right time and then you had him arrested."

"Excuse me. I didn't have him arrested. He got arrested for having child pornography." At this point, my husband is standing right behind me.

She takes my arm and pulls me outside and turns me around and puts the knife up to my throat. "I've lost all 4 of my husbands. Frank died. Ray remarried. Bob kicked me out and now, you took Steven away from me."

"Carla…" she cuts me off and her grip on me tightens.

"CALL. ME. MOM!"

"Okay. Mom, you don't have to do this. You wouldn't hurt your own daughter, would you? What about your grandkids? They need their mother. And what about this baby? If you kill me, you kill him."

I see my husband's eyes filled with fear and then relief. Someone must be coming up behind us. "let's discuss this in your office Ana. I need you to write me a check and I won't hurt you."

"Okay." Luke moves out of the way and my mother guides me into my office when Kirsten comes running in.

"GRAMS!!" She screams. She looks between us. "Don't hurt Mom, Grams."

"Hi sweetheart" she says as she lets down her guard and takes the knife away from my neck. I turn around and see Luke grab Kirsten and rush out the room and I turn and throw Carla onto the ground and put one knee in her back and step on her wrist loosening her grip on the knife. I kick it out of the way. "You bitch! You tricked me."

"You came to my home and held a knife to my throat and you want to scold me for defending myself and my family? Fuck you Carla."

My Dad comes running in with some cable ties and hands them to me and I tie Carla's hands behind her back and pull her up and sit her on the couch. "Luke is calling the cops Ana. Carla, what the fuck is wrong with you? Coming here and attacking your own child and in front of your grandchildren? For what? To defend your pedophile ex-husband? Are you insane?"

"She took him away from me."

"Shut the fuck up Carla. You're a piece of shit just like him. I hope you rot in jail."

I smile because I love that my Daddy still defends me. He looks at me. "Annie, you have a little cut on your neck. Go take care of that. I have got her until the cops arrive."

I nod and leave the room and run into my husband who wraps his arms around me. I start crying. "I have to go take care of this cut on my neck. Will you help me?"

"Of course baby." He pulls back and looks at it and I realize I got a little blood on his shirt.

"Sorry baby. You have some blood on your shirt."

"It's fine baby. It will come out. Let's go take care of that." He takes my hand and guides me to the security room and gets a first aid kit and takes me to our bathroom and doctors me up. "I was so scared and that knife was so close to your neck that I couldn't do anything."

"I know. I was scared too. What kind of mother does this to her own child?"

"A psychotic one clearly. As you said the other day, it seems she is nothing more than a canal donor. And as your father said, the only good thing she ever did was give you to him."

"you are, without a doubt, the best husband in the world baby." I kiss him softly. "let's go and see that bitch get thrown in jail."

"Let's do it."

We go back downstairs and the cops show up and arrest Carla and question us.

"She should be going down for a while with all these charges."

"What about Morton?" I ask.

"He will be gone for years with all the disgusting child pornography we found in his possession."

"Thank you detective." I shake his hand. Finally, he came and gave me good news.

As we are seeing the cops off, Christian shows up. Oh yeah. I forgot he was coming with all this bullshit going on.

"Ana. Luke. What happened here?"

"Carla came and wanted to either kill me or have me pay her off. Same shit, different day and perpetrator. We should just have dinner here. I've lost my desire to go out."

"That works. What happened to your neck?"

"Oh. She held a knife to my neck pretty hard. Kirsten saw that." I look at my husband. "she will probably need to see a therapist."

"We will handle it. Come in Christian."

He comes in. "do you know why she did it?"

"Because we took Morton away from her. More specifically because she believes I did. I just told her he did it to himself but apparently she didn't believe me."

We guide him to the family room. Christian sits in a chair and Luke and I sit across from him on the couch.

"Would you like some wine Christian?"

"Sure."

"Luke? Wine? Beer?"

"Beer please baby."

I go and get a glass of wine and a beer for my husband and ex-husband. It just feels weird even saying that in one sentence.

I bring them their drinks and get myself a glass of juice. I take my seat back beside Luke. "Heather and Ella are cooking. It shouldn't be long."

"Thank you Ana."

"No problem."

We all have dinner together to celebrate the arrest of yet another pair of crazies who have been making my life hell. Hopefully the drama subsides for a while because I don't know how much more I can handle.

After we see off Christian, my husband and I put our kids to bed and he takes me to bed and makes love to me and we fall asleep in each other's arms.
