A/N: I wanted to get this chapter out sooner, but real life has been busy. I hope you enyoy, and as always thanks for reading!

A POV

"Here I was thinking Christian reserved a dining room for the evening, but he reserved the entire restaurant.", Elliot says as he steps inside the front of Cafe Champagne. "Go big or go home, huh, bro?"

"I thought it would be better if we had the entire place to ourselves.", Christian shrugs, snaking his arm around my waist. I glance into his eyes and smile. We've only been engaged a few days, yet I can't wait to become Mrs. Grey. Although our friends and family are oblivious to the news we're telling them over dinner tonight before leaving for London tomorrow.

"Ana, how did your doctor's appointment go today?", Mia asks while we walk to the middle of the main room where the tables are set up.

"It went well. The doctor was pleased with my recovery and gave me the clear to travel. We leave first thing in the morning." Even though we originally planned to leave for London following my doctor's appointment we opted to leave tomorrow morning when we're more rested. Christian pulls me into a small corner and brushes his lips against mine. "What may I ask was that for?"

"Can't a guy kiss his fiancé?", he smirks. Bolts of electricity surge through my body. He pats the front left pocket of his pants. "Your ring is safe in my pocket."

"Great although I can't wait to get it back on my finger." We leave the corner and head back to our guests. "Let's all get seated, shall we?"

"Yes.", my mom says. She and my dad each hug me before settling in two chairs on the opposite side of the table.

"I was just telling Carrick the other day that I'd like to come here.", Grace tells me. "And now here we are." A server sets a bottle of champagne in front of Christian.

"Champagne at Cafe Champagne.", Kate giggles. The irony spreads to Julia who's soon giggling as well.

"Sorry.", Julia murmurs in embarrassment.

"It's ok.", I assure them. Sawyer and Mia stop whispering to each other and shift their eyes on to Christian and me. "Do I have something on my face?"

"No.", Sawyer says. "Mia's convinced tonight's dinner is more than a dinner. She believes you and Christian have news to share with us. It might simply be a celebration of Ana's recovery." All chattering ceases, and Christian and I are in the spotlight. I clear my throat as Christian takes my hand in his.

"Well...", Christian laughs. He slips the ring out of his pocket and slides it on to my finger. "Mia was right. Ana and I are engaged." The room is filled with gasps and the sound of chairs being pushed back so everyone can hug us. The first ones at our sides are my parents along with Carrick and Grace.

"Sweetheart, congratulations.", my dad says. He acts as if he's going to shake Christian's hand but pulls him into a hug instead. "I knew she'd say yes." I raise a brow and glance at my dad and Christian. "He came to your and mother and me last week and asked for my permission to propose. I made him sweat a little before saying yes."

"You asked my parents for their permission?", I ask Christian.

"I might not be a very traditional guy, but I wanted to change that a little.", Christian answers.

"He also told us that he was going to propose soon although a specific time wasn't given.", Grace adds to the conversation.

"I had every intention of proposing in London, but I realized I couldn't wait any longer so I went ahead and asked her the other day."

"When's the wedding?", Kate asks.

"I don't know.", I giggle. "We haven't made any plans yet. We've been enjoying the bliss of being newly engaged."

"Well, when the time comes to plan, I'll help in any way I can.", Mia says as she hugs me.

"I've got a feeling there's not going a shortage of people offering to help.", Elliot tells his sister. "I'm so happy for you guys."

"We all are!", Sawyer shouts as everyone applauds the engagement.

"Here we are." Taylor and Baker walk only a few feet from Christian and I after we arrive at The Goring Hotel in London's Belgravia neighborhood. I've flown on a plane before, but nothing could compare to the ride I experienced on Christian's private plan. We indulged in delicious food and champagne and napped in the most comfortable sleeping area. The highlight of the plane ride was me riding Christian. We had just woken up from our naps when I felt the need to get naughty. I blush at the memory of Christian plunging deep inside me. "You ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine.", I stammer, snapping back to reality. "Christian, this place is amazing." I stand in the lobby of the hotel, ingesting all of the beauty around me.

"I've been to London before but only on business so I wanted us to stay in hotel where we could truly relax. I called Gil Hanson and asked for his help in deciding the best place for us to stay. This was at the top of his list.

"He certainly had a great recommendation." An older man approaches and introduces himself as William Gregory, the hotel manager. He welcomes us to the hotel and tells us to let him know if we need anything.

We follow our luggage upstairs to the top floor. Stepping out of the elevator, I'm surprised to see that our suite is the only one on the floor. Mr. Gregory slides the key card and opens the door.

"Welcome to the Royal Suite.", Mr. Gregory says upon us entering the suite. There's a large sitting room with walls that are in an off white tone. "In addition to the sitting room there's a dining room which seats six people. What I think you'll love most about the suite is the decor. There's a unique collection of royal artifacts such a handwritten letters and stationary." He points to a frame on the left wall. "And military regalia." We follow him down a small hallway and into a bedroom. "This is the secondary bedroom. It has its own bathroom and a balcony overlooking the picturesque Goring Gardens."

"Picturesque indeed.", Christian nods. We leave the room and travel down the hallway to the opposite end of the suite.

"And here we have the master bedroom." The master bedroom is larger than the other bedroom and immediately gives off a feeling of comfort. "The silk wallpaper is the same kind which lined the RMS Titanic 1912."

"Wow.", I sigh as I place my hand on the wall. "It's very exquisite."

"The awe doesn't stop there." Mr. Gregory motions for us to follow him to the master bathroom where a large portrait hangs on the right wall. "Here we have a life size portrait of her majesty Queen Victoria. It's protected by aircraft safety glass. The walls in here are done in the same wallpaper style as what hangs in the throne room of Buckinham Palace. As with the other bedroom there's a balcony which overlooks the garden."

"This suite definitely fits what I had in mind.", Christian says.

"Again, I hope you enjoy your stay."

C POV

"What would you like to do for dinner?", I ask Ana. She stretches her arms and steps out on to the balcony. The sun is setting, casting shadows on the garden below us.

"I was thinking we could stay in tonight and start exploring in the morning.", Ana replies. "We can call for room service and ask Taylor and Baker to join us."

"Baker mentioned taking a nap earlier, but she's probably awake by now." Baker has settled into the other bedroom while Taylor has taken the fold out sofa in the sitting room.

"I wish Gail could've made it." Ana and I invited Gail to come along on our trip, but Gail's mother slipped and hurt her ankle yesterday morning so Gail decided to stay in Seattle to help with her.

"Me too." I move behind Ana and snake my arms around her waist. "I can safely say this is my favorite trip ever." She spins around and giggles. "You disagree?"

"It's not that I disagree, but how can you say that when the trip has barely started?"

"Because I'm with you.", I shrug. "Any time or place I'm with you is the best." She steps closer and kisses me. "And any time my lips are against yours is the best."

"I hope my lips are the other ones yours touch.", she teases.

"Only yours for the rest of my life. It's getting a little chilly out here. Let's go back inside and get ready for dinner."

"More wine, sir?", the waiter asks me. I shake my head and take another bite of my lobster. Ana and I along with Taylor and Baker decided to have dinner in the hotel's dining room. After some research I discovered the head chef and his team earned a Michelin Star, a prestigious honor for those in the food industry.

"Thank you for asking me to join you.", Baker says between bites.

"You're welcome." I glance at Ana who's no longer eating. "Is something wrong with your food?"

"What food?", she giggles, pointing to the empty plate. "I cleared every single piece from my plate. It was devine."

"They've got an impressive dessert menu.", Taylor tells her.

"I saw that, but I'm going to pass. I can't eat another bite." She folds her napkin and smiles. "What's on the agenda for tomorrow?"

"I thought it would be best if we just played it by ear. All of my past visits here have been on a schedule which consisted on mainly work. This is the first time I'll have a chance to take in London.", I say as I finish my dinner. "I'm contemplating ordering the triple berry cheesecake, but I don't want to be the only one getting dessert."

"I might try the cheesecake as well.", Taylor replies. "Baker?"

"I'm going to go for the raspberry pudding." The three of us look at Ana.

"I might have a little room for the raspberry pudding."

"It's a good thing we're not scared of heights.", I laugh. After an early breakfast we started out on our sight seeing trip. Our first stop was to the London Eye where we're getting an incredible view from our enclosed glass capsule which is rotating over the Thames River. I arranged for Ana and I to have our own private capsule while Taylor and Baker are in another.

"It's still a little scary.", Ana murmurs as she sits down on one of the benches. I pull out my phone and point it at her. "What are you doing?"

"Taking your picture. Smile." She rolls her eyes but still smiles. "Beautiful." I put my phone away and sit down in the spot next to her. "You've been smiling a lot. We should take more trips like this."

"It's not just the trip that's making me smile. It's knowing that Donovan, Leila, and Elena are all out of the way. It feels like incredible."

"It sure does." I glance out the glass. "Maybe I should buy a place here."

"Here?", Ana asks.

"Yeah. It can be a place where we can come whenever we want to get away. I've already got a penthouse in New York and a house in Aspen, but having a residence in London could be nice." Her eyes widen even more. "You don't think it's a good idea?"

"I didn't know you had a place in New York and Aspen. You've never mentioned them."

"I haven't been to either in a long time. My New York trips are usually fairly short, and I choose to sleep in hotels. I was last in Aspen about a year and a half ago when my family went for Christmas. Have you ever been skiing?"

"No. I'd probably fall and break a bone.", she giggles.

"You wouldn't with me as a teacher. We can spend a day out on the slopes and then return to the house where we'd cuddle in front of a fire."

"You've got it al planned out, huh?"

"I'm starting to. I have all sorts of visions for us and our future. I can see us getting married and starting a family a few years down the road." Once again my words seem to surprise her.

"Yet another subject we haven't discussed although I guess we should considering we're getting married."

"I want us to have kids in a few years, but I also want to be selfish and enjoy it just being the two of us for a while."

"I feel the same.", Ana replies. "I'd like to get my advertising business up and running before starting a family." I put my arm around her.

"It doesn't mean we can't practice a lot for when the time comes.", I chuckle. "We can practice a lot." I waggle a brow as she bites her lip.

"Practice makes perfect, right?", she smirks.
