Ana's P.O.V
Seattle Medical Center
I wait in the doctor's office laying down on the table for Dr. Greene to come in. I look at my phone to check the time I have left until my lunch break is over. I don't know why I'm nervous over this. It's been almost a year since I gave birth to Teddy. My body has changed and it's normal. My uterus has changed so much in a year. There's a chance that it may be different for me to get pregnant again. Dr. Greene walks in with a clipboard in hand and glasses on
"So we examined your blood work, your blood cells and hormones levels are normal. We however need to talk about your ultrasound."
"What's wrong with it?"
"From what we found on the ultrasound, there are some things we found." She pulls out the ultrasound from my file and holds it up for me to see. "You see the little white dots on these two sides? Those are pocket cysts on your ovaries. Those are normal to have and are why you're experiencing cramps. You have some slight scarring on your uterus from your first delivery due to trauma."
Scarring? My C-section only left me with external scarring but I never thought about the after effects from the delivery. "So my uterus is immobile ?"
"You can still carry to term but conceiving will be challenging."
"So it's going to make harder for me to get pregnant again?"
"If it poses as the main problem, then we'll take the measures to find alternatives. You can explore IVF or surrogacy with a carrier with your egg and your husband's sperm. It's not impossible. We'll check back in six months and see where we're at."
Grey House
I sit in my editor's meeting captured in my own thoughts while Jerry went through the quarterly recap and plan for the next one. I never thought of might not being able to carry a child. We've been trying for four months with no avail all while my uterus is roadblocking itself. I think about my pregnancy and the things I missed about it. I can't imagine not being able to go through it all again. As soon as the meetings agerned, I walk out of the conference room and to the elevator to talk to Christian. I can't keep this from him. He's been eager to have a second baby and wanting to have more children. I don't know how he is going to react to this. I walk out if the elevator and to the front desk to see if he's in. I hold a portfolio folder to make it look like I need to discuss buisness matters rather than it be thought of as a personal matter.
"Hi, Is Mr. Grey in his office? I need to get his approval over an editorial piece for the Tribune."
"Yes Mrs. Grey he's in his office right now."
"Thank you." I walk over to his office and open the door to see him on his laptop typing away. He looks up and sees me standing at the door.
"Hey baby. I wasn't expecting you."
"Is this a bad time?"
"No come in. What's going on ?" He gets up from his desk as I walk over to him. I set down the portfolio on a table and take his hands in mine.
"I went in for my one-year post op with Dr. Greene today."
"Is everything okay?" He starts to get nervous.
"Let's sit down." I guide him to his automan couch and sat down across from each other. "There was some scarring from my labor and delivery with Teddy. It may be the underline reason why we haven't gotten pregnant yet."
He looks at me in a frightened expression as if I had been beaten and bruised or my soul had been taken away. God I hope he doesn't think it's my fault.
"So you aren't able to carry another baby?"
"I can but it will make conceiving more challenging for us. I know you're dissapointed."
"Ana, I can never been dissapointed in you. Why would you think that ?"
"Because you've been so excited and hopeful for us to have a baby."
"Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a baby in a month. There's going to be some road blocks but it isn't either of your fault or mine." He puts his hand on my face and kisses my forehead.
"I'm sorry for getting emotional. I just want for Teddy to be able to have siblings and for us to have a big family."
"And we will have that. It'll just take time. We've just been focused so much with so many things that we forgot to check in on each other."
"I think so too."
"We need to talk more."
"I know. But where are we going to find the time?"
"You know what. Let's call in at home and say we're working late tonight. Have the top floor to ourselves and just have some fun. Have some dinner. Maybe fun some fun with the cameras."
"What do you mean?"
"Let's make that little tape we've been putting off."
"You really want to have sex on camera ?"
"You promised me a tape. Might as well hold up to it."
Christian Grey, Man of the Year, is really wanting to make a sex tape in his whole office floor. He wants to be care free and have fun with his wife. I've never seen him like this before.
"Are you sure you want to do this ?"
"All I want is to have my wife and show you how much I love you."
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Let's have another first."
