Despite my little country (Wales) being in lockdown there is no rest for the wicked! I have been super busy!
With this chapter now out I'll be focussing on Falling for the Unknown. I've just realised I left it on a bit of a cliffy! So, I am going to catch up with that story, but don't worry, next chapter you will be rewarded 😉
Enjoy the chapter
Much Love

"Oh wows!" Lily-Rose exclaimed in awe as they stepped foot into Christian's apartment. "Daddy this place is humongerous!" She told him in awe as she looked around before running over to the windows, pressing her face against the glass, her nose scrunching against the glass, her unicorn tucked safely under her arm. She won't go anywhere without it. "I can sees the bottom!" She giggled. "Alls the people are teeny tiny!"

Christian couldn't help but smile over to his daughter before he looked to Taylor who was putting their bags down in the hallway. "Thank you, Taylor. You are dismissed. We will call if we need anything." He reassured him with a grateful smile. He really didn't know what he would do without him.

"Sir." Taylor nodded as he left the room and to his own quarters.

"Taylor deserves some time off." Ana commented looking to Christian.

Christian smiled. "He'll compensated don't worry." He chuckled and smiled over to Lily-Rose. "Princess come here." He called over to Lily-Rose.

Bouncing over to her father, Lily-Rose giggled as she jumped into her father's arms as he scooped her up.

"There is someone I want you and mommy to meet." He mused as he headed into the kitchen where Gail was cooking up a storm. "Hello Gail."

Gail looked up from what she was doing and smiled brightly to the family as she wiped her hands in the tea towel. "Mr Grey! Hello! It's good to have you home." She beamed to him before smiling to Ana and Lily-Rose.

"Ana, Lily-Rose this is Gail, Gail, this is Anastasia and our daughter Lily-Rose." Christian introduced with a proud smile as he looked to his two girls before looking to Gail once more.

"Hi Gail!" Lily-Rose beamed to her with a wave.

"Hello Miss Lily-Rose."

"Hello Gail." Ana smiled to her.

"Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you. Can I get anyone anything?" She asked looking to them.

"I could kill for a cup of tea…" Ana commented looking to her.

"Coming right up. Coffee Mr Grey?"

Christian smiled and nodded before he looked to Lily-Rose. "How would you like to try one of Gail's special cookies and a glass of milk?"

Lily-Rose gasped and looked to her dad. "Cookies?! I loves cookies!"

Ana scoffed. "You love food." She rolled her eyes as she sat herself down at the breakfast bar.

"So's?" Lily-Rose looked to her mother before she looked to her father and grinned. "Cookies and milk?" She asked battering her eyelashes at him.

"Of course." He smiled and moved over to Ana and sat her down on the stool next to her. "Now you must keep still I don't want you to fall off." He told her as he pulled a stool closer to her so he and Ana were securely either side of her.

"I am ways up high." She giggled as she swung her feet, putting her unicorn on the counter in front of her.

"There we go Miss Lily-Rose." Gail mused pushing a plate in front of her and a small glass of milk.

Lily-Rose gasped and clapped her hands. "Thank yous Gail!" Picking up her cookie she then took a small bite. "Hmm this is delicious." She mused as she happily munched away at her cookie, taking a small sip of her milk now and then.

As Gail put a cup of tea in front of her, Ana smiled. "Thank you." Taking a welcoming sip, she sighed happily before looking to Gail. "So…how long have you been taking care of Christian?" She mused with a smirk.

"Oh, I've been with Mr Grey a long time." Gail smiled. "Since Mr Grey was about twenty-two?" She smiled to her. "I was initially hired to clean and tidy the apartment, but it soon became very clear when I started that he needed to do more than just clean."

Ana's eyes lit up as she smirked to her. "Tell me."

"Gail." Christian warned playfully.

Gail chuckled. "Let's just say I have banned Mr Grey from the toaster and the microwave."

"I'm getting better." Christian pouted playfully. "Hey I cooked Lily-Rose lunch the other day."

"That didn't involve cooking." Ana laughed looking to him. "You found whatever is in the fridge."

Christian glared at her. "Ruin my moment why don't you." He grumbled taking a sip of his coffee.

Ana smirked at Christian. "Don't worry. You'll be cooking in no time. Especially with missy here. She could out eat anyone."

"Oh, I don't know, I reckon Elliot would give her a run for her money. He eats like a horse."

"Well that's where she gets her appetite from. Your side of the family." She chimed getting to her feet. "Mind if I take a shower?" She asked looking to Christian.

Christian poked his tongue out to her before nodded. "Sure. Down the hall, first door on your right then just follow the corridor down to the bathroom." He instructed watching her go before he then looked to Lily-Rose. "Now you little miss…Gail has very kindly decorated a bedroom for you…would you like to see it?" He questioned with a smile.

Lily-Rose grinned and nodded. "Yes pwease." She beamed grabbing her unicorn and holding her hands out to her father.

Christian smiled and scooped her up before he then headed down to what will be Lily-Rose's bedroom for the duration of their stay here. They had seen a few houses online that they liked but they wanted to see them in person before they settled on anything.
Going to the room that was next to his he pushed the door open and flicked the light switch on, smiling at the gasp that left Lily-Rose's mouth as she looked to the room in awe. It was similar to her room back in the hotel but with extra unicorns.

"Ohs daddy! I loves it! Thank yous!" She beamed wriggling out of his arms before poking her head out of the room and down towards the kitchen. "Thanks yous Gails!" She shouted before running back into the room and over to her little book corner where there was a large unicorn beanbag. Grabbing a random book, she soon jumped on the beanbag. "Daddy comes reads with me." She beamed to him with a smile, tucking her unicorn by her side.

Christian couldn't help but smile as he watched his daughter. She was just too cute for words. Happily going over to her he sat himself down next to her and smiled as he took the book as she handed it to him and looked at the cover and smiled. "Bear hunt?" He mused to her.

"Ours favourite." She beamed to him as she snuggled into his side.

Their favourite it was. Getting comfy next to her he pressed a kiss to her head before he then turned the first page of the book and happily began to read. He felt like he could sit here all day and read stories with her.

After her shower, Ana changed into one of Christian's hoodies and pyjama pants that she found in his closet. Yes, she had bought her own clothes, but she liked the feeling that Christian's clothes gave her. She felt like he was wrapped around her and she found it comforting. In hospital he had given her one of his hoodies as she couldn't really get warm and she loved it, she hardly took it off. His scent alone bought comfort to her. She tossed her hair up into a messy bun before she headed to go and find Christian and Lily-Rose. She could hear Christian talking and a giggle from Lily-Rose now and then so she knew they weren't far. Following the sound of Christian's voice, she pushed the door open, looking around at the room that he had done for their little girl she couldn't help but smile before her eyes fell on Christian and Lily-Rose in the book corner.

"We're not going on a bear hunt again…" Christian finished as he closed the book.

"Daddy can we's go ons a bear hunt?" Lily-Rose asked looking up to him.

Christian looked down to her, ideas running through his head before he then smiled and nodded. "Of course. I'll see what we can do." He promised kissing her head. Sounded like a perfect opportunity to take her to the zoo. Mia always loved the zoo when she was younger.

"You two look comfy." Ana smiled leaning against the doorframe.

"Mommy!" Lily-Rose beamed as she jumped up and ran over to her mother.

Scooping Lily-Rose up, Ana kissed her head. "This is a nice room." She commented looking around once more.

"Gails decorated it for me!" Lily-Rose happily told her.

"You lucky girl." Ana grinned before she looked to the time. "Uncle Luke will be here soon to take you to a new park."

Lily-Rose grinned. "Are we's going to have ice cream?" She asked looking to her.

"Well I'm sure if you are a good girl, he will get you one." She smiled to her.

"Is you going to work?" She then asked.

"Sort of." Ana replied. "Mommy has to make a few phone calls and so does daddy. Uncle Luke will be bringing you back in time for dinner."

"Otays." She smiled and snuggled into Ana, hiding her face in her neck.

Holding her daughter tightly to her, Ana then smiled to Christian who was still sat on the floor. "You look comfy down there." She mused with a smirk.

"I am." Laughed Christian before he got up and headed over to his girls. Seeing Ana in his clothes he couldn't help but smirk. "Nice clothes."

Ana smirked back. "Thanks. They're really comfy." She mused back.

Christian chuckled and shook his head. "Follow me." He instructed as he headed out of Lily-Rose's room and into his room…well their room. "Lily-Rose this is mommy and daddy's room." He told her looking to her. He didn't want her to wake up in the night then panic if she couldn't find them, especially knowing that in the morning she liked to come in for morning cuddles.

Lily-Rose looked around the room before she wriggled out of Ana's arms and ran over to the bed and climbed on it before giggling as she laid down in the middle. "I like this bed. It's big."

Christian smiled. "It is." Moving over to the bed he sat on the edge and just happily watched her.

"MUNCHKIN!" Came Luke's voice.

"Uncle Lukey!" Lily-Rose screamed as she jumped down from the bed and ran out to her uncle.

"You okay?" Ana asked moving to stand next Christian and moved her hand to the nape of his neck and lightly scratched it.

"Just can't believe you are both finally here." He whispered with a smile to her. "Feels like a dream come true."

Ana couldn't help but smile as she leant down and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "Well get used to it because we are here to stay." She mused before she moved away from him and headed to find Lily-Rose and Luke. At Lily-Rose's giggling she couldn't help but smile before she smirked seeing Luke tickling Lily-Rose on the couch. "You know if she pees on you, you will only have yourself to blame."

Luck chuckled as he got up with Lily-Rose and looked to his sister. "You'd never do that to me would you munchkin?"

"I fort I was princess?" She asked confused.

"You are…but you are a little munchkin." He mused as he gently tickled her tummy.

Lily-Rose giggled pushing his hand away. "Mommy says we's going to the park. Is Caz coming to play too?" She asked looking to him.

Ana frowned. "Who's Caz?"

"Uncle Lukey's lady friend." Lily-Rose happily told her.

"Kiddo. Way to drop me in it." Luke grumbled before he then shook his head. "No. Caz is in California."

"But she's coming to lives in Seattle, right?"

"I don't know…"

"Cans we facetime her?"

"We will see." He smiled before he then looked to Ana who was smirking at him. "Don't." He warned her.

"Oh, I won't. For now. But believe me I am wanting to know everything about this Caz." She smirked to him before looking up as Gail came in. "Gail this is my brother, Luke. Luke this is Gail. She's Christian's housekeeper."

"She makes the bestest cookies!" Lily-Rose grinned looking to him.

"Oh, does she? You'll have to keep me some."

"Pinkie pwomise."

Luke grinned wrapping his little finger around his nieces.

Gail smiled to Luke. "It's lovely to meet you."

"You too." Luke smiled before looking to Christian as he came out of the bedroom. "Hey man. Housekeeper? Remind me never to have you cook me food." He laughed and shook his head.

Christian pouted to him and huffed. "I'm not that bad."

Luke smirked. "I'm sure." He laughed and looked to Lily-Rose. "Are you ready to go?" He asked her.

Lily-Rose nodded. "Yep!"

"Do you need the toilet?" Ana asked looking to her.

Lily-Rose shook her head. "No."

"Then let's get this show on the road!" Luke beamed to her before looking to Ana. "Just before dinner?" He asked her.

Ana nodded. "Yeah, I have some phone calls to make and so does Christian. Plus, she's been excited about spending some time with you."

"Yeah cause she's not worrying about you now." He chuckled and smiled to his sister. "You're looking much better."

"I feel it." Ana smiled before leaning into Christian as he moved his arm around her and smiling up to him.

"Mummy and daddy do kissy." Lily-Rose giggled to her uncle.

"Oh really?" Luke smirked and looked to the pair. "Maybe mommy and daddy will give you a baby brother or sister."

Ana glared at him. "Don't joke about stuff like that."

"I wants a baby brother." Lily-Rose declared looking to her parents. "And he must have hair like me that goes reddy in the sunshine and he must have blue eyes. Like mommy but then as he gets older grey like daddies. Just like mine are. I haven't decided on a name yet, but I wills thinks of one."

Luke bit the inside of his cheek trying not to laugh while Christian and Ana just stood there looking at Lily-Rose in complete shock. She had clearly put a lot of thought into this!

"Urm…" Christian began as he looked to Lily-Rose. "Me and mommy will talk."

"Otays!" Lily-Rose beamed before looking to her uncle. "Let's go now Uncle Lukey. I wants to play on the swings."

Luke laughed. "Okay. See you guys later." He waved to Ana and Christian who waved back in return.

Watching them go, Ana then looked to Christian before she then rubbed the back of her neck slightly. "Well that was slightly awkward." She laughed slightly avoiding his gaze.

Moving over to Ana, Christian wrapped his arms around her and he bought his hand up under her chin and got her to look at him. "It was more…shocking?" He laughed a little. "I wasn't expecting Lily-Rose to go into detail about a potential sibling, not to mention I didn't think she'd want one. Normally you here of children not wanting a sibling." He chuckled and smiled to her. "Do you want more children?" He then asked looking to her.

Ana looking to him and gave a little nod. "I don't want Lily-Rose to be an only child. I loved it with me and Kate when we were little but now that we have Luke too? I do want her to have siblings…"

Christian couldn't help but smile. "Well we will make sure that she's not an only child." He promised looking to her. "We will find our forever home and fill it with babies."

Ana couldn't help but laugh as she smiled up to him. "One step at a time?"

Christian smirked. "One step at a time." He whispered as he kissed her. "Besides…I think we need to practice first before we dive in." He mused wiggling his eyebrows at her.

Ana smirked. "Practising could be fun."

"Oh, it will be." He promised. "Besides…we've just got back together. I want us to find our home, settle Lily-Rose. Catch that bastard. Get you sorted with your hotels. Me sorted with work…there's no rush for another baby, but know this. I will be there every single step of the way. Every scan, every midwife appointment, antenatal class. I'll be there."

Ana looked up to him in awe as she gave a nod before she leant up and pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "I love you." She whispered against his lips.

"I love you too." He whispered to her.

"Now…how about we go and sort out some work stuff….and then tonight when Lily-Rose is sleeping…we can start practicing."

Christian smirked. "I look forward to it." He leant down and brushed his lips against hers. "I have to go and make some calls in my office, feel free to use whatever room you need to do yours." He smiled and kissed her. "Save your voice though…you're going to need it to scream my name later." Winking to her he then kissed her before heading off to his office.

Ana looked to him in complete shock at his words, her panties instantly dampening as she watched him walk away to his office. How does he do that to her?! She knew if he kept that up, they wouldn't make it to bedtime but either way one thing was for sure. She was looking forward to bedtime.
