Ethan is walking in front of me to the living room. He turns around once he arrives and his face pales when he looks at me. I know I am giving him the "that stunt you just pulled and your attitude does not fly with me" look. He used to call this "The Mom Look".

"Sit" I command and he does on the couch.

"I do NOT appreciate the way you just acted outside in front of Will and my guests. That behavior is not acceptable. You are a grown man Ethan. You cannot act like this. It is going to teach Will bad habits –"

"Christian is going to teach him bad habits." Ethan states petulantly.

"Do NOT interrupt me while I am talking! What has gotten into you Ethan? Christian is a wonderful man. He is not going to teach Will bad habits. If you are not careful, it will be you teaching him bad habits." I know my next words have to be carefully said. I need Ethan to understand this once and for the last time.

"Ethan, I adore you and care for you because you are Will's father. That is where it ends though. I thought I made my views on our relationship very clear when I signed those divorce papers. The trust I had in you as a husband ended that day. But the trust I had in you as a father has never ended. You are amazing with Will. We are co-parents Ethan. We do it pretty well compared to other divorced couples."

"I never meant to hurt you. She meant nothing to me. I thought we would have moved on from that and the divorce was just something we would get over. We could have another child by now." For the love of God. This man just does not get it. He is stuck in the past. I hear someone clear their throat and turn around to see Kate standing there.

"If you don't mind I would like to join this conversation." I nod at her to continue.

"Ethan, you have to let Ana go. She hasn't been yours for over a year now. This has got to stop. Don't you want Ana to be happy? She deserves it after the hell she went through last year. What is in the envelope?" Ethan pushes the envelope over to Kate. She lays each picture out on the table. Our day at Pike Place is laid out in front of me and I do not believe my eyes. I am smiling in every picture. I look so happy and Will looks so happy.

"Look at Ana in these pictures Ethan. She is smiling from ear to ear. Don't you want that for her? Because I know for a fact she wants that for you." He looks over at me. I know he doesn't understand it yet, but maybe this will be the beginning of him backing off.

"Look at Will, Ethan. He adores Christian. Christian is so good with him and Will is so happy. We want Will to be loved and you can tell by this picture he is." I add in while looking Ethan in the eye. He looks from me to the picture and back to me.

"Dad said the paparazzi will come after you and Will if you are with Christian. Do you want that? You are not the type of woman who likes being in the spot light." He tells me.

"Let me decide what I want and do not want. Christian has promised to keep myself and Will safe, no matter what. That is all that matters, okay?" He doesn't nod or make any movements. He just stares at me.

"Kate can you go get Will so I can say goodbye to him before I leave?" She nods and goes to retrieve Will.

"I'm his dad, Ana. Not Christian." He says while looking directly into my eyes. Jeez, stake your claim much? I don't want him to feel as if he is being replaced because that is not the case. I need to reassure him that Christian is not trying to replace Ethan. I get up and he stands up as well. I give him a hug and whisper in his ear.

"Christian is not trying to replace you, okay?" He nods his head and I hear Will talking and footsteps behind us. I pull away and turn around to see not only Kate and Will, but Elliot and Christian as well. Christian looks hurt and angry at the same time. Will runs to his daddy and they say their goodbyes on the way to the door.

"Ethan?" I say in a whisper so Will doesn't catch on.

"Yeah?"

"Make a scene like that again at my house or in front of my child ever again, and I will make your life hell. You scared not only me, but Will too. If you cannot start acting like a grown up, I may not be able to trust you with Will. Understand?" He gulps and nods his head.

"It was not my intentions to scare anyone, let alone you and Will. I am really sorry about that." He looks embarrassed about his actions. Good, he should.

"I'll call you this week and let you know what time I will pick him up Friday." I nod my head and he hands Will back over after a few kisses.

"Be careful on your way home. Tell daddy bye, Will." Will does and lays his head on my shoulder. My boy must be sleepy from such a long day. We walk back into the living room to see Kate sitting on the couch.

"I hope he understands now." She tells me.

"Me too. I just wonder how they knew we were there." I am puzzled how they knew we would be there. I look up at Kate and she cannot look me in the eye.

"I told them. I had a few guys go out to catch the shots. I needed Ethan to see how happy you looked from an outsider's point of view. I needed him to see how happy you and Will were with Christian." My best friend. She always has my back no matter what.

I get up and hug her with Will still in my arms.

"You are amazing and the bestest friend I have ever had. Thank you so much. Just don't do it again. It actually scared me yesterday when everyone was staring at us." I pull away and kiss her cheek.

"Let me go grab Elliot. We will put Will down then head out. I think you need to have a talk with your hunk of burning love out there." I nod my head and get ready for a talk with Christian. Elliot and Kate come back inside and Elliot grabs Will from me. I pick up the baby monitor and tell Kate to turn it on in Will's room. I tell them goodbye and to lock the door on the way out. I make my way outside to find Christian. I find him standing by the pool looking into space. I wrap my arms around him from behind and feel how tense his body is. He turns around to look at me.

"Hey." I say to him.

"Hi." He responds shortly. I just stare at this beautiful man for a second. His body is the work of God alone. He is muscular in all the right places and his sun-kissed skin makes me want to kiss all over his body.

"Want to sit down and talk with me for a bit? Will is asleep and we will have no interruptions." He looks so sad when he looks down at me.

"I think I may leave actually. Elliot and Kate already left so I think I might as well."

"It is obvious you are upset Christian. Let's talk about this and if you still want to leave afterwards you can." I compromise with him. He goes to sit down on one of my comfy outside chairs and I make my way to the other. He grabs my hand and pulls me down on his lap.

"You were hugging him. Did you forgive him? Are you getting back together with him?" Has this man lost his mind. I am going to have to give Christian some reassurance that I want him.

"Christian, you know I am not getting back together with him. If I was, why would I be with you right now in your lap?" He looks slightly embarrassed by his questions. I decide to give him a little more reassurance. I turn my body so I am straddling him and lean in to kiss him with everything I have. He swipes his tongue across my lower lip and I immediately grant him access. This kiss is all about Christian. I let him dominate and lead the way. I can feel his erection poking me through his trunks and I grind down on him to show him who it is I am interested in. He pulls away breathing heavily and places his forehead on mine.

"Ana.." he says in a whisper. "But what about the cupcakes. Did you make his favorite for him?" Now this makes me laugh.

"No! I had no idea he was coming over. I always make cupcakes with a bunch of different varieties. I promise what his favorite cupcake is was the farthest from my mind when I was making them." I end with a laugh. This man has jealousy issues out the wa-zoo. He laughs at himself and pulls me closer to him.

"I know it is too soon, but when we do make love I am going to worship your body." He says while peppering kisses down my neck a collarbone.

"Do you still want to leave?" He shakes his head no as he trails a finger over the exposed part of my boobs.

"Your boobs are amazing baby. They are huge on your petite frame and I love it. You also have an incredible ass." He says and grabs my ass. He is turning me on and I need to distract quickly. We are not quite there yet. Soon, just not today.

"Thanks, it must be the thousands of squats I do every week at the gym." I tell him with a wink.

"I know some squats you can do."

"Such a pervert, Grey."

"Your pervert baby." He tells me with this beautiful smile. I still can't believe this man wants me. "Will is asleep?"

"Mmmhm." I moan and answer at the same time. Christian is massaging my ass and it feels amazing.

"Good, lets go for a swim." He picks me up and throws me in the pool. When I am coming back up, I feel his splash from jumping in.

"I cannot believe you just threw me into the pool." I say in mock horror.

"Oh yeah? I wish I could say I was sorry, but I'm not." He is swimming towards me and I splash him. Oh how I love playful Christian.

We continue playing in the pool for a while and I hear Will on the baby monitor.

"I got him." Christian says as he lifts himself out of the pool. His backside looks… yum!

"I am going to heat up our left over's. Want to stay for dinner?" I ask hoping he does.

"You already know I do." He gives me a sexy smirk. Oh how I adore this man. He is so good to my sweet Will and he didn't run off when my crazy ex-husband should up looking like a banshee. I dry off and make my way into the kitchen to start our dinner. This is all so domesticated. We act like.. like a real family. I never thought I would have this after last year. I decide to thank the Lord tonight in my prayers for sending me an amazing man.

A/N:

Next chapter, we will hopefully see our favorite couple enjoy a rather fun night where they talk about everything. They might partake in a few bottles of tequila as well. ;) Will we see Ethan again? Who knows… We will just have to see what is next for this cute couple. I am already starting on the next one! Love you all and thank you again for the sweetest reviews ever!
