Helllloooo beautiful people! Hope you all had an AMAZING Christmas for those who celebrate and I hope you all have an amazing new year. I think this year was a perfect excuse to get drunk and fat! Been doing that majority year tbh! Haha! Let's hope in 2021 this madness can finally come to an end!
I apologise for not getting more chapters out, I've been diagnosed with B12 deficiency :( which finally explains why I've been feeling so tired all the time and feeling so sluggish so I'm currently waiting for injections to hopefully perk me right up! And my white blood cells are on the low side so I'm going to be monitored the next couple of weeks especially because of Covid so I'm probably going to be a pin cushion and having lots of blood tests. Yay! (Not!) haha
Anyway, enough about me! Now for some Lily-Rose cuteness overload!
Much Love

Feeling someone tapping his back, Christian's eyes fluttered open. Looking down to Ana's sleeping form wrapped in his arms he then turned his head to person poking his back. Seeing Lily-Rose he smiled to her before he raised an eyebrow as she quickly put her hand over his mouth and moved closer to him.

"Don'ts say a words daddy." She whispered to him. "But you must comes to my room. We has important things to talk abouts and not a word to mommy." She told him looking to Ana to make sure her mother was still sleeping before looking back to her father once more. "Come now." She told him before she quietly left their room and headed back to her own bedroom.

Christian looked to her completely confused. He had no idea what was going on inside that head of hers. Shaking his head, a little he gently pulled himself away from Ana and headed across to her room. Luckily last night after their final round of sex, they put on some sleepwear in case Lily-Rose decided to sneak in at some point in the night as well as coming in for her normal morning cuddles. Rubbing his eyes, he entered Lily-Rose's bedroom before he raised an eyebrow as he saw her sat on her beanbag in her reading corner, her unicorn next to her and a beanbag opposite her to which she gestured for him to sit on.

"Please sit daddy." She instructed him.

Sitting down, Christian looked to his daughter before he looked to her teddy's which she had arranged in a circle. "Urm…is everything okay princess?" He then asked looking to her.

"Everything is fine daddy." She told him with a smile. "Buts we have important planning's to do."

Christian frowned. "Important planning?"

Lily-Rose gave a nod. "Yes. Normally me and Uncle Lukey do lots of planning but now you're heres we can do planning's together!" She beamed with a grin to him.

Christian shook his head slightly as he sat forward a little. "Princess you've lost me, what are you talking about?"

Lily-Rose frowned. "Mommy's birthday of course." She told him. "We gots to get her presents and balloons and cake! Uncle Lukey says cake is the most important."

Christian's eyebrows shot up. He remembered when he first met Ana that she mentioned her birthday was in September. "Do you remember what day?" He asked hopefully. He would need to sort a gift out as soon as possible.

"Ten of course!" She frowned. "When's your birthday daddy?" She then asked him.

Christian smiled. "Mine isn't until June 18th. We've got a long time yet." He thought for a minute before looking to her. "How about you come to work with me today?" He then asked her. "I have to sort some stuff out but once we are done, we can start planning stuff for mommy's birthday. How does that sound?"

Lily-Rose grinned and nodded to him before frowning. "Can I brings unicorn?" She asked pointing to her favourite teddy.

Christian couldn't help but smile. "Of course, you can. Now…we need to find the perfect outfit for you."

"I gots the perfect one! Mommy says you's the big boss so I wants to be like a boss too!" She beamed as she got up and ran over to her wardrobe, like Ana and Christian she of course had a walk-in wardrobe but everything was Lily-Rose's height. Grabbing a dungaree style navy dress and a cream long sleeved top she then toddled back over to her father and grinned. "This one daddy?"

"It's perfect. How about we go and get some breakfast?"

Lily-Rose nodded as she put her outfit on the bed ready. "Otay daddy. I needs the potty first though." She told him before going to the bathroom.

Christian smiled to himself as he patiently waited for her return. As she came back, he smiled. "Did you remember to wash your hands?"

"Yes daddy." She smiled as she moved over to him and held her hands out for him to pick her up.

Picking her up he kissed her head and smiled as she cuddled into him. Heading into the kitchen he smiled seeing Gail pottering around.

"Mornings Gail!" Lily-Rose chimed.

"Good morning Miss Lily-Rose and Mr Grey."

"Morning Gail." Christian smiled as he moved Lily-Rose onto the stool. "Remember you mustn't move or you will fall."

"Yes daddy."

"Coffee Mr Grey?" Gail asked him.

"Yes, please Gail." He smiled sitting next to Lily-Rose.

"And would you like some orange juice Miss Lily-Rose?"

"Yes pwease."

Gail smiled as busied herself making their drinks before looking back to Christian. "Will Ana be joining us?"

"Not for the moment, she's still sleeping." Christian told her with a smile before looking to Lily-Rose. "What would you like for breakfast princess?"

"Urms…can we haves a bacon sandwich?"

"A bacon sandwich? Are you sure? That isn't very filling."

"I'm not very hungry." She shrugged before she grinned at Gail as her drink was placed in front of her. "Thank you Gails."

"You're very welcome Miss Lily-Rose." She mused before putting Christian's coffee in front of him. "So, what can I do for breakfast?" She asked looking to them.

"Two bacon sandwiches please Gail." Christian told her before smiling to his daughter and taking a sip of his coffee. As Gail put their food in front of them when it was cooked, he thanked Gail before tucking in, smiling as Lily-Rose did the same. "That good princess?"

"So yummy daddy."

"Something smells good in here." Came Ana's voice as entered the kitchen. Kissing her daughter's head, she then smiled and kissed Christian. "Morning you two."

"Morning mommy!" Lily-Rose chimed before happily turning back to her food.

"Morning Ana, tea?"

"Morning Gail. And yes please." She smiled as she sat on the other side of Lily-Rose. "What you got baby?"

"Bacon sandwich." Lily-Rose told her. "I's not very hungry this morning."

"Hmm sounds yummy."

"Can I make you one Ana?" Gail asked putting Ana's tea in front of her.

"Oh yes please Gail."

"Mommy I'm going to work with daddy today."

Ana raised an eyebrow as she looked to her daughter. "You are?"

Lily-Rose nodded. "It was daddy's idea. We are very busy."

Ana bit down on her lip trying not to laugh. "Very busy? Baby you're three…"

Lily-Rose's head whipped to her mother. "So's?! That's age scrimination!"

Ana narrowed her eyes at her daughter. "You've been hanging out with Uncle Luke a bit too much I think." She shook her head before looking to Christian. "You sure you want to take her with you?" She asked before smiling at Gail as she put her sandwich in front of her. "Thank you, Gail."

Christian nodded. "Of course. And we've already picked out your outfit haven't we princess?"

Lily-Rose nodded and grinned as she looked to her mother. "I'm goings to look like a boss like daddy!"

"You are? Well how about you finish your breakfast and then we will go and get you ready for your day with daddy?"

Lily-Rose beamed and nodded to her mother as she then happily finished off her sandwich. Taking a sip of her juice she then sighed happily. "That was so yummy."

Gail smiled. "I'm glad you enjoyed it Miss Lily-Rose. Would you like some more juice?"

"No thank yous Gail."

Ana smiled at her daughter before she then happily ate her own breakfast.

Finishing off his food, Christian then downed the rest of his coffee. "I'm going to grab a quick shower." Kissing Ana's cheek and Lily-Rose's head he smiled. "I won't be long."

Ana smiled to him before she then happily finished her own breakfast before looking to Lily-Rose. "Ready baby?"

Lily-Rose nodded as she quickly finished off her drink. "Yes mommy." Putting her cup down she then smiled and happily moved into her mother's arms as she held them out for her.

Ana happily carried Lily-Rose into her bedroom. Seeing her outfit on the bed she smiled. Her little CEO in the making. Kissing her head, she put her down. "Quick wash or shower?"

"Quick wash. I don't wants to be late on my first day." Lily-Rose told her.

Ana smiled and nodded and happily headed into the bathroom. "Come on baby." She called to her as she filled up the sink in the bathroom.

"Coming mommy!" Lily-Rose called as she rushed into the bathroom. Stripping her pyjamas off she then moved to sit on her potty, happily humming away as she did.

Ana smiled as she watched her before she turned her attention to the sink and turned it off. "What you singing baby?" She asked, not quite catching the tune she was humming.

"Speechless." Lily-Rose told her as she finished up on the potty and moved over to the sink to wash her hands.

"What's that from?" Ana asked as he moved over to the potty and emptied it out and cleaned it.

"Aladdin. Buts not the cartoon one. The real human one." She chimed to her. "It's really good. We will haves to watch it. I watched it with Uncle Lukey and Katy."

"We will." She smiled before frowning. "I thought Uncle Lukey's friend was called Caz?" Ana asked confused.

"It is. She has three names." Lily-Rose told her holding up three fingers. "Her big girl name is Catherine but she said I can call or Caz or Katy." Lily-Rose explained with a smile. "I calls her Caz but sometimes I call her Katy." She shrugged a little before taking her flannel as Ana passed it to her and began to wash herself down.

Ana listened to her carefully before nodding a little before she smiled as she watched her. She was getting so grown up. Getting her towel ready she smiled and wrapped it around her as she finished before moving back into Lily-Rose's bedroom. Helping her dry off, Ana then helped her get dressed, making sure her dress was okay before she put on some little socks then her little ankle boots. Once she was all dressed, she smiled. "How would you like your hair baby?"

"Like a boss!" Lily-Rose giggled to her mother.

Ana chuckled as she sat on her bed and tapped her lap. "Come on then boss lady. We'll do stylish messy bun."

"My favourite" She beamed as she grabbed her hair brush and climbing onto her mother's lap, passing her the hairbrush.

Ana smiled as she happily did her daughter's hair. Making sure it was perfect, Ana then smiled as she wrapped her arms around her daughter and kissed her head. "All done baby. My little CEO in the making." She mused with a grin.

"Knock, knock." Came Christian's voice as he entered the bedroom. Seeing Lily-Rose ready he couldn't help but smile. "You look perfect."

Lily-Rose grinned at her father. "I'm weady daddy!" She chimed as she jumped down from Ana's lap, grabbing her unicorn teddy before she ran over to her dad who was dressed in a navy suit. "Daddy, we matchy, matchy!" She giggled pointing to him.

Scooping her up he smiled. "We are. We are going to show everyone our matching outfits today."

"Oh, I can'ts wait." She cooed before looking to Ana. "Mommy we will be homes later. Taylors will text you when we is coming home." She told her with a little nod.

Ana laughed. "Thank you for informing me young lady." She laughed and shook her head before looking to Christian. "We haven't really told anyone…" She gestured to Lily-Rose with her eyes before looking to Christian.

"Don't worry. No one in the office will say anything. I'm having a statement prepared. Once you've read it and you're happy with it we can release the statement. Lily-Rose's safety will be emphasised and the press are already fully aware that if they get too close to me, they'll be sorry anyway." He shrugged a little and smiled. "Actually…when we come home tonight, I want to run something by you."

Ana nodded. "Sure okay." She smiled as she moved over to them, kissing Lily-Rose's head and then pressing a soft kiss to Christian's lips. "Well…you three…." She smirked at the unicorn before looking at the two most important people in her life. "Have a good day at work."

"We will!" Lily-Rose beamed. "Loves you mommy."

"I love you too baby." She looked to Christian. "Both of you."

"I love you too." Christian smiled stealing another kiss off her before he smiled to Lily-Rose. "Ready?"

"Yes daddy."

"See you later." He told Ana with a smile as he left Lily-Rose's room.

"Bye mommy!" Lily-Rose chimed before holding onto her dad tightly, her unicorn tucked safety under her arm. Glancing around the apartment she then grinned as she saw Taylor appear. "Morning Taylor! Me and daddy are weady to go to work nows." She happily informed him.

Taylor raised an eyebrow before smiling and giving a nod. "Very well Miss Lily-Rose and Mr Grey." He smirked to Christian before he then headed to the elevator with the father and daughter.

Following Taylor into the elevator, Christian then looked to Lily-Rose. "So today you are going to meet two very important people. Andrea and Ros."

"Who's they?" Lily-Rose asked curiously.

"Well Andrea is my assistant. She helps keeps things nice and tidy for me and reminds me when to go to meetings and stuff like that." He explained best he could. He didn't want to confuse her too much. "And Ros is the deputy boss. She's in charge when I'm not there." He explained before he smiled. "Oh, and you'll also probably meet Barney."

Lily-Rose's eyes widened as she looked to Christian. "The dinosaur?"

Christian smiled while Taylor bit back a laugh. How was she so cute? "No baby not the dinosaur. Barney is very good at computers and does a lot of stuff on the internet for me."

"That sounds boring." She commented with a pout.

"It can be but he is very good at what he does." He explained with a smile before he carried her to the SUV as they reached the ground floor. Putting her into her car seat he then climbed in beside her while Taylor got in the front and began their journey. "So, what do you normally do for mommy's birthday?"

"We has lots of fun!" She grinned. "But last year, when I was two, we had a barbeque at gwandma and gwandpa's house because the sun was so shiny and hot and auntie Kate made her a massive chocolate birthday cake and we all sangs happy birthday and then mommy blew out her candles and made a wish."

"And did you get mommy presents?"

"Yes, she had lots and lots but I can't remember what."

Christian gave a nod. "Well when I have finished my meetings, we can have a look on the internet and try and find some presents for her."

"What will I do when you are in your meetings?"

"Well you can sit in with me if you like?" He suggested to her. "But Taylor will be around and so will Andrea and Ros so you won't be alone okay, but you can do whatever you feel comfortable with okay?"

"I thinks I'll stay with you. Cans I colour?"

Christian smiled. "Of course, you can. And my office has a bathroom so whenever you need to toilet you just go ahead okay?"

"Otays." She smiled to him before her eyes widened at the building. "Wow this is huge." She giggled as they drove in the underground car park. "It's like we is back home!"

Christian couldn't help but smile at her. He loved how excited she was getting. As they pulled up, Christian climbed out of the car and moved around to Lily-Rose's side and pulled her out of her car seat and moved her down onto her feet. "Ready baby?"

"Weady." Lily-Rose confirmed with a nod as she moved her hand to her father's and made sure her unicorn was tucked firmly under her arm.

Christian smiled as they headed to the elevator. Heading inside he then watched as Taylor entered the keypad and the elevator made its way to his floor. As they reached their floor, Christian smiled down to Lily-Rose and gave her hand a little squeeze before they began to walk. Reaching Andrea who looked confused as anything as to why Christian had a little girl holding his hand. "Andrea will you please get Ros and then the both of you come into my office?"

"Certainly, Mr Grey."

Christian nodded before going into his office, leaving the door slightly ajar and smiled down to Lily-Rose. "So, this is where we are hanging out today." He happily informed her.

"Wows daddy!" Letting go of his hand she ran over to the window and looked down. "Look daddy! The peoples look like tiny ants!"

"No fucking way." Came Ros's voice as she stood in the doorway with Andrea, her mouth hanging open, catching on hearing Christian being referred to as daddy.

Head shooting up, Christian frowned at Ros. "Really?"

Running over to Christian, Lily-Rose tugged his trousers. "Daddy, the lady said a naughty word."

"I know, I'll deal with her later." He promised before he then looked to Ros and Andrea. "If you would both please take a seat." He gestured for them to sit down, as they did, he smiled and sat down opposite them and held out his hands for Lily-Rose, smiling as she ran into his arms. Sitting her on his lap he smiled and looked to the two shocked women in front of him. "Andrea. Ros. This is Lily-Rose, my daughter. Baby this is Andrea and Ros who I told you about this morning."

Lily-Rose smiled and waved to the two women. "Hi!" She frowned at Ros. "Yous musn't say naughty words. Yous get into trouble."

Ros looked in complete shock at the pair before her face softened as she looked to Lily-Rose and smiled. "I'm sorry. It won't happen again." She promised. "It's lovely to meet you, you have such a pretty name and look at that unicorn!"

Lily-Rose grinned. "Daddy buyed it for me." She told her hugging the teddy to her.

"Yes, and now she doesn't go anywhere without it." He laughed and shook his head before looking to the two women. "I have a statement being prepared introducing Lily-Rose as my daughter…her mother is well known as well and we are currently dating…until her mother approves the statement, no one is to know about her."

"Boss man dating?" Ros smirked. "What's her name?"

Christian laughed. "Ana Steele."

Andrea's mouth dropped as she looked to boss. "The hotel owner?"

Christian nodded. "Yeah…we met a couple of years ago…and well Lily-Rose obviously happened. We into each other when I ended up staying in her hotel on my business trip…and well one thing led to another and they live here now." He shrugged a little and smiled proudly to his daughter.

"She looks like you." Andrea commented with a smile.

Christian smiled. "You think?"

"Oh defiantly! She has your hair and your eyes." Ros told him with a smile as she looked to Lily-Rose who was happily cuddled into her father.

As her phone buzzed, Andrea looked down before looking to Christian. "Mr Grey, your appointment has arrived." She informed him with an apologetic smile.

"Thank you, Andrea."

"Hey Lily-Rose." Ros piped up. "Shall we go on a little adventure while daddy has a boring meeting?" She asked looking to her.

Lily-Rose's eyes lit up as she nodded. "I like adventures."

Ros jumped up. "Well come on then little one, let's go and see what trouble we can get up to." She winked at her and held her hand out for her.

Lily-Rose grinned and jumped down and ran over to Ros and looked back to Christian. "I won'ts be long daddy." She promised with a smile.

Christian got up and smiled. "Okay, have fun." He looked to Ros. "Call me or Taylor if anything comes up."

"Oh relax. We are going to have lots of fun. Ready little one?"

"Weady Wos!" Lily-Rose looks to Christian. "Bye daddy!"

Christian watched as Lily-Rose left with Ros. Shaking his head, he ignored the nagging feeling in his stomach. He hated being away from her. Looking to Andrea he nodded. "Give me five minutes then send them in." He instructed as he headed over to his desk.

"Yes sir." Andrea smiled. "Do you need me to get anything for Lily-Rose sir?"

Christian looked to her. "Some colouring books and crayons? And maybe if you could get some catalogues? It's Ana's birthday in a couple of weeks and we are looking for a gift…I want Lily-Rose's input."

"Consider it done. I'll have everything delivered in the hour." She told him before leaving his office.

Christian nodded before sitting down at his desk before he then prepared himself for his meeting. Looking to his desk he then smiled a little taking note in his head that he needed pictures of Ana and Lily-Rose on his desk. As his door knocked, he then let his smile drop as he got his CEO face on. The sooner he got through these meetings the sooner he and Lily-Rose could start organising Ana's birthday. He wanted to make this a birthday Ana would never forget.
