Christians Pov

"I love you too," and just like that she was gone. What the fuck had just happened. I though I had her, then I turn my back for a moment the next chaos. It was all such a blur my mind couldn't process. Sitting down I tried to gather my thoughts. When a all to cheery nurse came in and broke me out of my pity party.

"Excuse me sir," she said obviously blushing, don't go there with my sweetheart, I thought to myself "you'll have to wait out in the living room." she said her tone souring. Obviously she notice my keen lack of interest in her. Gathering myself I walked out, when both Ray and Taylor shot up to there feet. Shit now I had to tell them.

"Umm, Ana was fine then, I turned my back for a second and I guess her surgical incision re-opened they had to take her back into surgery." I said swallowing the lump in my throat. Taylor placed his hand on my shoulder, and with this small gesture I found comfort. Looking at Ray he seemed clearly racked with fear and pain, his face showed everything I was feeling inside. As the 3 of us took a seat in the waiting room. Seconds turned over into minutes into hours. The time dragged on til no end. Taylor and Ray where talking about sports, small talk wasn't my thing. Especially now. So much hung in the balance. I couldn't just sit and do nothing, rising to my feet I excused myself from the other 2 men. Reaching my phone I had to do something.

"Andrea, hold all calls till further notice." I think I heard her jaw drop.

"Excuse me?" I was annoyed

"Delegate onto other until I can return." I said trying to retain my cool.

"Yes sir, may I ask why?" bile rose in my throat once more. I wondered if I can ever explain what was going on without feeling so ill.

"Anastasia was shot." not wanting to release to many of the details.

"O my god, that poor girl. I'll hold all calls. Let me know whatever I can do." and with that I killed the call. Of course I knew I couldn't put my work on hold forever, but for now I just couldn't put my heart into it. My mind was flooded with so much. So many questions and rapid emotions flooded my brain that I felt as though I was drowning. Deciding I should put these emotions to good use I dialed again.

"This is Christian Grey, it was brought to my attention that Detective Warner wanted to speck to me." I said. I heard the call transfer. I knew I couldn't help Ana, but I can put the nail in Leila's coffin.

"Mr Grey," he said, clearly shocked that I called.

"Detective Warner, it was brought to my attention that you wished to talk to me more. As of now you can understand why in indisposed, but trust me the first free minute I have I promise you I'll tell you everything you want to know." he briefly thanked me for my time then I hung up. I was at a lose as to what to do but by talking to the detective I can assure there case is stronger then ever to convict her. Regaining my seat, Taylor and Ray still chatted about baseball.

"Steele family?" a doctor comes out and the three of us get to our feet.

"Anastasia is out of surgery, her surgical incision opened up, which is common which is why we are going to keep her in the ICU longer. " he said and I felt a weight lift off of me. She was ok. I could jump for freaking joy. Turning to Ray his face mirrored mine.

"Can we go see her?" Ray asked and I was surprised he said we. The doctor nodded and we waked to Ana's room. My heart was in my stomach. Turning the corner I saw her and my world stopped. She was asleep and pale, she was attached to some oxygen. She was perfect and I was reassured in my heart that marrying her was the right thing. As Ray and I took a seat, we each held one of her hands.

"I meant what I said before Ray, I want to marry her."
