Mom's Surprise

Ana had breakfast with Ray and was back in her apartment changing into her dress for graduation when she heard a knock on her door. She was alone in the apartment since Christian wasn't there yet and Kate was with her family. Ray had to run an errand so he said he would meet Ana at the university. She checked her phone to see if Christian had sent her a text message; he hadn't.

She went to the door and peaked through the peep hole, hoping it wasn't Jose. It was her mother and stepfather. She opened the door and got a big surprise. Her mother looked to be at least six months pregnant! "Surprise!" Her mother said loudly. "Not what you were expecting, was it?" She asked as she hugged Ana. "We weren't expecting it either." Carla and her husband walked into Ana's apartment. Ana was still stunned into silence. "Say something." Carla snapped at her daughter.

"Congratulations." Ana said quietly. "Thanks for springing this on me at my graduation mom." Carla flounced past Ana into the living room.

"It's always about you, isn't it Ana. Can't you be happy for me and Bob? We are excited to be expecting a boy." It was no secret that Carla had wished for a boy instead of a girl when she was pregnant with Ana.

"I am happy for you mom, I just wished you had let me know sooner." Ana stammered. She was really hurt by her mom springing the pregnancy on her like that. It had been a year since she had actually seen or talked to her mom. She was always busy and sent random text messages instead to Ana and never returned her calls. "Are you doing okay? Is your pregnancy high risk since you are over 40-" Carla cut her off.

"I am only 39 year old Ana." She told a bald faced lie to Ana; red faced in front of her younger than herself husband. "Everything is fine so far."

"I went in for a vasectomy and it didn't take." Bob tried to explain. Ana looked horrified and put her hands up to stop him.

"TMI, not my business." Ana wished now that they hadn't come. There was another knock on the door. Ana went to get it, not looking to see who was there first. She opened the door to see Jose standing there.

"Hey Ana. I was hoping I would get to see you before you moved away." He made to hug Ana but she jumped back.

"Hi Jose. Come in. Meet my mom Carla and my stepdad Bob." They shook hands and there was an awkward silence.

"Would you be able to go out for a drink before you leave today?" Jose asked Ana hopefully. He was standing really close to Ana making her uncomfortable.

"Ana and I will be going back to Seattle after graduation." Christian said from the door. "You must be her neighbor Jose. I'm Ana's boyfriend Christian Grey." He shook hands with Jose then moved over to Ana and kissed her rather passionately then held Ana close to him.

"Well, okay then. Congratulations on graduation and good luck with your new job Ana. It was nice knowing you." Jose made to hug her again and Christian just held on to her. He waved awkwardly instead then left.

"Hey baby, you okay?" Christian asked her softly then kissed her again. She nodded still in his embrace.

"Hello! We're still here Ana." Carla said from the sofa, clearly irritated at being ignored. They turned around to face them.

"Christian, this is my mom Carla Adams and her husband Bob. They are pregnant. That was my surprise." She said.

A/N: Was anyone expecting that? LOL Carla couldn't wait to tell Ana her news.
