A/N:

Thank you all so much for your reviews. I have just finished reading them all and am blown away by your response to the last chapter. I'm glad you all enjoyed it.

So the baseball. Apologies for not writing too much about it. Truth is I know anything about baseball - I don't know what I was thinking adding it in! But I did, and thanks to google I managed to learn a little. So we have a little on the baseball pitch, a bit if a lemon and the SURPRISE Christian has organised for everyone in this chapter.


Chapter 38 - Oh no you didn't!

CPOV

"You okay Teddy." I jog over to my son who is sprawled out on the pitch after tripping over.

"Me be hurt Daddy." He pouts, his bottom lip quivering.

"Where does it hurt little man. Show Daddy." He points to his grassed stained, jean covered knee. "Daddy's just going to lift up your jeans and have a look okay?"

"K Daddy." He nods his head nervously. I gently roll the hem of his jeans up until I can see his knee. Nothing there, not even a little scratch.

"I think you'll be fine buddy. Can you stand up?" He holds out his hand and I help him to his feet.

"Me better now Daddy"

"That's my boy. Big and brave." I pick him up and twirl around in circles - eliciting excited squeals and laughter.

"You good bud?" Elliot runs up to us.

"Me be good." He claps and starts wiggling to get out of my grip. I lower him to the grass.

"Shall we go and see if we can get some autographs before go." Elliot asks him.

"What awe-mo-graph?" He screws his little face up trying to pronounce the word.

"It's when someone signs their name on something for you." Elliot tries to explain.

"Why me want name?"

"Because they are famous, and you can show everyone that you have met them."

"But what met. Like soss-gez."

I laugh. Trying to have a conversation with a three year old is hard work.

"No, not meat like sausages son. Like when you see someone. Like the Wiggles, we met them today."

"Um me no want soss-giz. We wan nuggies. But me wik The Wiggles."

"Dude, I have no idea what you just said - other than you like the Wiggles." Elliot laughs and playfully nudges his shoulder.

"Damn I hope we have a boy that's as awesome as Teddy." Elliot grins looking down at my little man.

"I'm sure you will one day, no boy will ever be as awesome as my Tedster though. So don't get your hopes up."

He looks toward me with a sick look of smugness on his face. If I didn't know any better I'd say the wifey is knocked up already.


I look over to Sawyer - who has a sleeping Teddy curled up on his knee in the dug out - just to make sure all is okay before I step up to bat.

Elliot has been getting pitching lessons from Felix Hernandez and I've been taking batting tips from Kyle Seager. Game on Bro.

"You sure you don't want to go put one of those sumo suits on bro? Wouldn't want to take you home covered in bruises. Your wife would have our balls if we blemished your beauty."

"Put a sock in it prick." I flick him the bird and raise the bat above my shoulder ready to swing.

"Just so we are clear, you have three chances to get a hit big enough for a home run or else..."

"Or else what Lelly?"

"Or else you have to buy me a VIP box at the stadium."

"Bro I have a VIP box already."

"I want my own."

"Whatever. What do I get if I get a home run?"

"I'll treat you and your significantly better looking other half to a holiday ...and yours truly will babysit."

"Fuck off, why would I want you looking after my kids?"

"So you can bang your wife senseless - wherever and whenever you want for... We'll go with 2 days - with no interruptions."

"I can do that now. No, I want something else."

"Like what?"

"I want... ". Hmm what do I want? "Actually bro there's nothing I want that I can't get myself, so... I want your first son named after me."

"Are you shitting me. Do you think Kate would let me name our son 'asshole'?" He hoots. I try not to laugh but can't help myself.

"Fine. You can make a hundred thousand dollar donation to the charity of Ana's choice."

"Deal."

"Good, now pitch the damn ball." I yell.

Henry Blanco is laughing behind me in his catcher position.

Elliot pulls his arm back then throws the ball - fast. Shit, he's not actually that bad. I swing at the ball and miss. Damn it.

"Oooo that VIP box is going to go down a treat with the Grey construction crew." He rolls his shoulders.

I roll my eyes and get back into position. He pitches again, I wait until its half way to me, raise my bat higher, then swing. "Fuck." I growl, dropping the bat in frustration after missing yet again.

"Don't give up your day job." Elliot laughs.

"Fuck you Elliot". I clench my fists then scoop the bat back up into my hands.

"One more bro then you better get your cheque book out."

"Yay Daddy." Teddy cheers from the dug out having obviously woken up.

"My daddy be the bestest." He tells Sawyer and the rest of the Mariner players who are watching. Thanks son, no pressure then. I cock my head and shrug my shoulders.

"Bring it on Elliot." He laughs and gets back onto the pitchers rubber. I watch him closely taking a few practice swings.

"It ain't gonna help you." He cackles and pitches the ball hard and fast.

"Up yours." I snarl as the bat and ball make contact with a resounding smack. I drop the bat and bolt. 1st base...2nd base... 3rd base... Elliot throws the ball to Henry Blanco as I'm skidding to home base.

"Safe." Nick Franklin one of the players yells as I scramble to my feet.

"Ha! Suck on that Lelly." I run to Elliot and bowl him over.

"That was the biggest fucking fluke I've ever seen." He coughs. I pull him up off the pitch. "Bro, that was seriously impressive." He shakes his head in defeat.

"See I toll you my Daddy be the bestest." Teddy jumps up into my arms after running over. "Me wan be see my Mommy now."

"You want to go home now Champ?" He nods his head in agreement.

"Me akshlee wan see Mommy." He sticks his thumb in his mouth and lays his head against my chest.

"Are you still tired Teddy?" I rest my chin gently on the top of his head.

"Uh huh, me be tire."

"Okay champ, we'll go home now. I want to see Mommy too, and Phoebe."

"Me no wan see Phoebe." He grumbles sleepily.

"Why don't you want to see your sister." I chuckle at his tone.

"She be cry simtimes."

"She's just a baby Teddy. That's what babies do. Come on let's get you home."


I carry Teddy up the stairs and into his bedroom. It's white and royal blue with baby blue wooden furnishings and there are helicopters and planes hanging from the high ceiling.

One whole wall we recently had turned into nothing but shelving to display all his keepsakes. His yankee gear, toys, games and numerous other things he's accumulated in his short years. He now has a signed Mariners baseball bat to add to his collection.

Reaching down with one hand I pull his comforter back then place him on the soft cream flannelette sheets. I pull his shoes off then pull the comforter up around him.

"I love you Teddy." I kiss his forehead.


"Welcome home babe." Ana is waiting on the landing as I exit Teddy's room. "Is he sleeping?" She asks.

"Yes." I whisper, admiring her legs in the short white denim skirt she is wearing. My eyes wander up her legs to her top. She is wearing a satin looking champagne coloured spaghetti strap camisole.

"Phoebe?" I choke.

"Sleeping."

"Good." I wrap my arm around her waist and lift her up so that she can wrap her legs around my torso.

Our mouths crash together as I stumble into our room, kicking the door shut with my foot.

"Baby, that skirt is fantastic." I pant - our mouthes stopping briefly to catch our breaths.

"I missed you." Her fingers fumble with my shirt buttons unsuccessfully as I drop us onto the bed. She pushes up onto her knees and lifts one leg over me and sits astride my hips - giving me a glimpse of her silky pale pink panties.

"Did you miss me?" She murmurs seductively as she runs a finger through my happy trail that's peeking out between my shirt and jeans.

"I always do baby." My hands rest on her thighs, god she has the softest skin.

"I shouldn't have let you wear those jeans. I've been thinking about all those women ogling you in them all day." She bends down and plants kisses all over my shirt. "I think you are wearing too much." She bites her lip and peeks up at me through her gorgeous lashes.

"What are you going to do about it?" I smirk.

"I'm going to undress you, then have my way with you." She giggles quietly.

"I'm all yours Mrs Grey." I look down at my watch. "You have my undivided attention for the next 26 minutes."

"I can work with that." She shuffles back on her knees and pops the button of my jeans. "What's in 26 minutes?" She mumbles, her mouth kissing its way across the band of my boxer briefs.

"I need to finalise the finishing touches on your surprise tonight. Aggh,". I groan as she nips the top of my cock with her teeth.

"Unbutton your shirt, but leave it on." She commands. Her fingers are tracing the outline of my dick, she drags them down to the base then grabs my balls and squeezes them tightly. Fuck I love it when she takes charge. "Don't move." She growls then crawls off of me.

She stands beside the bed. "Shirt." She points at me.

"Yes Ma'am." I salute her then begin undoing the buttons. I forget about the last few as I watch her shimmy out of her skirt. It drops to the floor silently and she is left standing in her camisole and panties. She turns around so she is facing the door and slips her fingers into the side of her panties and pushes them down.

"Have I ever told you how fucking amazing your ass is." I growl.

"Nearly every day." She replies as she pulls her camisole off. Her bra matches the panties she was wearing and it is sexy as hell. A perfect combination of satin and lace. She reaches behind her and unclasps her bra then pulls it off and lets it drop to the floor with the rest of her clothing.

"Turn around, I want to see you."

She turns slowly and saunters back to the bed, grabbing the iPod dock remote. She points it at the stereo and hits a button then throws the remote on the end of the bed.

"This brings back memories." I smirk. I remember it was playing in the car when I was driving Ana back home the morning after she stayed at Escala for the first time.

"Gotta love Bruce." She giggles - the live version of 'I'm on fire' drifts through the various speakers situated conspicuously around the room.

"You didn't undo your shirt." She pouts. Shit, I didn't get finished. She climbs back on top of my torso giving me an amazing view of her sweet pussy. She grabs the bottom of my shirt and rips it apart.

"Such a savage! I love it." I growl.

I sit myself up so that we are nose to nose, I have to kiss her. Fuck she's turning me on something wicked. I press my lips to hers and she sighs contentedly then deepens the kiss.

"Don't move." She pants and climbs off of me once again. She doesn't move far, just turns herself around and sits back down - backwards. Her flawless back and shoulders on full display. She rises slightly to get more comfortable and I take the opportunity to push my jeans and boxers down. I grab hold of my dick and position it at the entrance of her sex. She moans and lowers herself slowly taking all of me in.

"Oh fuck baby, you feel amazing." I reach my hands around to her front and cups her breasts, my fingers finding her nipples.

"A ahh ohhh,". She whimpers. "I've wanted you so badly all day." Her voice turning high pitched as I twist a nipple.

"Spread your knees more baby." She uses my thighs to push herself off and opens her legs further. "That's right baby." She lowers herself again and starts gyrating her hips.

I move a hand to her pussy and begin massaging her clit with the tip of my finger.

"Oh,". She squeaks and begins moving up and down.

"That's it baby, ride me."

"Oh my god...yes." I feel her walls tightening.

"Slow down baby... Fuck...no... Don't...god." I groan into her shoulder as she increases her pace.

"Fuck me,...hard." She pants.

I put both of my hands in her hips and grip tightly then slam her down.

"Ugggh." She drops her head back onto my shoulder. Her forehead is beaded in sweat. "You're mine." She pants.

"Yours." I grunt. "Come for me baby, let me feel you."

I wrap one arm around her waist to hold her down and the other I snake down to her clit again.

"Yeah, mmmm yes, yes, Christian." She starts trembling. One more thrust upward as she slams down on me and she explodes magnificently. Her walls clamp around my cock triggering my own release.

I loosen my tight grip around her as the waves of pleasure subside.

"Please don't wear those jeans out again, unless you're with me." She sighs, resting limply against my chest.

"Baby, you know I only have eyes for you."

"I know, but those jeans are mine."

"Yours." I chuckle - amused by my wife's protective claim on my jeans.

She rolls off of me so that she is lying on her front.

"Can you rub my back for a little bit babe." She slurs into the pillow.

"Your wish is my command." I lie back and run my fingers up and down her back, barely touching her.

"Soooo good." She mumbles.


"Bro." Elliot knocks on our door then waltzes right in.

"Fuck off Elliot." I groan, stirring from my nap. I must have dozed off while rubbing Ana's back.

"Dude, seriously you need to get up."

"Unless the house is on fire, get out."

"Your house is on fire." He replies.

"What the fuck?" I shoot up - quickly scanning the bed for my jeans.

My eyes catch - Ana who is lying naked on the bed - still face down thank fuck. The sheet is covering her ass so he can't see anything.

"Where? I can't hear any alarms, where are the kids?"

"Settle down bro, your house is not on fire. I just wanted you to get up." He laughs.

"Not funny." I snarl.

"Put your pants on pansy, there's a delivery here for you and they won't let me sign for it."

Shit. The papers I'm expecting.

"I'll be there soon. Out." I point at the door.

"Nice." He nods at Ana. I know he is only saying it to wind me up. It works. I grab the iPod remote Ana left on the bed and hurl it at Elliot.

"Too easy Bro." He straightens himself up after ducking and leaves the room.

"Get up baby." I place my hands on either side of Ana and pepper her back with kisses.

"Mmmm." She stirs.

"Come on wench, up." I spank her ass. "I've got a surprise for you all remember?"

"Mmmm, do that again." She wiggles her ass. I yank the sheet off of her and spank her again - a little harder.

"Oww," she growls.

"Up."


I am showered, dressed and sitting in the living room with the children who are also ready to go.

"What is taking so long?" Elliot mumbles.

"Women." I shake my head, getting frustrated.

"So where are we going anyway?" Elliot asks.

"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise anymore would it? But I think you'll like it." I smirk.

He squints his eyes suspiciously.

"Finally." He sighs, when he sees Ana and Kate walking down the stairs.

Fuck me Ana looks smoking hot. She is wearing black tights with knee high black boots and a creamy sheer blouse. She's lucky she is wearing a white camisole underneath or I'd be marching her ass back upstairs. No one sees my babies assets but me.

She frowns when she catches me staring at her.

"Well you did say casual. Is it too casual?" She asks looking down at her outfit.

"No...no not at all. You look beautiful." I tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and kiss her chastely. She has her hair down tonight, it falls half way down her back - despite being in soft sexy curls, almost waves - it's growing fast. She'll be wanting a haircut soon. Can't wait for the argument.

"Thank you. You look pretty handsome yourself." She runs a hand across the stubble on my jaw.

"Right lets get this show on the road." Elliot claps breaking our moment.

He is holding Ava in one arm and grabs Kate's right hand with his other. Kate has a full length maxi dress on. I guess it's easier to wear something without sleeves when you have a cast on your lower arm.

"How's your wrist healing?" I point at the bandage around her right wrist covered the rope burn marks.

"It's good. The nurse thinks I'll be fine to leave the bandage off from tomorrow and let the air get to it."

I nod sympathetically. "Come on princess." I pick Phoebe up from her playmat.


Our SUV fleet pulls up outside the GEH building. Ana looks sideways at me and crinkles her brow.

"Work?" She asks incredulously.

"Dinner, then... Well wait and see." I smirk.

"At work?" She asks even more incredulously.

"Patience woman." I roll my eyes at her. She slaps my thigh playfully in response.

She exits the car to a mob of flashing cameras. I knew there would be press here. Word would have gotten out that something was happening here with all the deliveries and crew coming and going this afternoon.

I climb out after her and place my hand on the small of her back, waving politely to the press with the other. I don't know what it is about Ana, but she always brings out the best in me when the paparazzi vultures are out.

Ana gives a shy wave to them before turning to face me. "I'm just going to go get Kate. She has my purse."

"Okay baby, Taylor and I will be fine with the kids." I kiss her quickly causing a frenzy of camera flashes.


APOV

I cover my face with my hands and giggle as I leave Christian by our SUV. He always kisses me when the press are around. He loves seeing the pictures of us together - he even started a scrapbook of all the kissing photos.

Kate is just getting out of the second SUV which is parked behind ours.

"Are we dining at the office.?" She asks curious as to why we are here.

"You know as much as I do." I shrug. "Have you still got my purse?"

"Here." She reaches into the SUV and hands me my purse.

"Thanks, I'd leave my head at home if it wasn't screwed on." I palm my forehead dramatically. "Shall we go?" I hold my hand out to her. We walk arm in arm up to the building. She rests her head on my shoulder.

"Oh my god I feel sick." She moans. "Why do you have so much candy and chocolate in your pantry? You really shouldn't have told me it was there. I think I ate half of it on own this morning." She giggles.

"I hope you left room for dinner."

"What are we having? Paper with a side of pencils?" She snorts.

"You'll find out soon enough." Christian strolls up beside me - Phoebe in one arm and Teddy's hand in his on the other side. I turn back to see where Elliot got too. He is carrying Ava and walking beside Taylor deep in conversation. For a fleeting moment I wonder if they are talking about Leila and Jose but quickly dismiss the thought from my mind.

Sawyer runs in front if us and opens the door after entering a pin and swiping his security ID card.


"What the hell?" I mumble as Christian opens the door to the large

Conference room on the second floor. The place is packed with people - Adults and children.

"I invited all the Seattle staff and their families." Christian whispers into my ear.

"I can see that." I stand gobsmacked at the crowd. There must be at least 300 people here if not more. The staff all look at us while keeping up their chatter. I smile politely and wave to those who wave at me.

"Come on baby." He swaps Teddy's hand into mine - leaving his arm free to put around my waist then manoeuvres us to the front of the room where there is a large table set for us. We are stopped a few times by people wanting to talk to Christian or fuss over the children.

There are high chairs set up ready for Phoebe and Ava, and a chair with a booster on it for Teddy.

"Me sit net Daddy." Teddy claps. I smile down at him. Everything is all about Daddy tonight. He must have had an amazing day with Christian.

Christian takes his seat between Teddy and I after placing Phoebe in her high hair.

"Hi Gail." I reach over Phoebe and squeeze her hand. I am missing our kitchen conversations, I haven't even told her we are expecting again. That reminds me, I must make an appointment to see Dr Greene and get it confirmed.

"Ana. You are looking radiant." She beams.

"Thank you Gail."

My attention turns to Christian who stands and makes his way to a microphone situated beside our table.

He holds his wine glass up to the mic and taps a spoon against it - effectively silencing the room.

"Good evening everyone. Thank you all for coming."

"No thank you." Someone yells from the back. Christian grins and holds up his hand.

"It's my pleasure." He nods. "It's not very often we get to congregate together with our families and have some down time. I appreciate now more than ever how important family time is - so my wife and I are pleased to be able to do this for our employees. Without you all our companies would not be as successful as they are, so thank you for your time and efforts and I hope you, and especially your children enjoy your evening." He looks over at me and raises his wine glass mouthing 'I love you'. "Please, enjoy your meals before the fun begins."

I rest my chin on his shoulder when he takes his seat again. "You are amazing you know that."

"Remember that later..." He chuckles before taking a sip of his wine. Not thinking much of his comment I remain gazing at him silently.

"What?" He grins down at me looking sexy as hell in his crisp white shirt and black slacks, his hair in it's usual ruffled sexy state.

"Nothing, just admiring the view."

"Keep it up and we'll be skipping dinner and attending to 'business' in my office."

"I choose business." I whisper in his ear. I feel his shoulders drop and he takes a deep breathe.

"Later. If you are still...in the mood." He chuckles.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I frown, puzzled.

"Nothing baby." He leans down and kisses me.

"Again." I breathe against his mouth. "You taste like wine." I explain.

"Ah." He smirks. "Naughty girl." He picks up a manilla folder that was resting by his place setting and holds it up covering our faces. With his other hand he picks up his glass of wine and takes a sip. He places the wine back on the table then crooks his finger motioning me in. I lick my lips and kiss him. He opens his mouth and lets a small amount of wine enter my mouth. I swallow the wine but continue the kiss.

"Not now baby. We have a few hundred eyes on us." He groans.

I bite his lip playfully and pull away, moving my mouth to his ear.

"Take the folder down, they'll think we were just talking." I whisper. He lowers the folder slowly. "They won't know any better..." I continue. "They certainly wont know how much I'd like to take you to the elevator and fuck you, or how much I want to wrap my lips around this..." I run my hand over his thighs and bring it to rest on his crotch - which is covered by the table.

"I'm going to spank you for this." He growls softly into my ear. "So fucking hard."

I giggle and straighten up in my seat pulling away from him - just in time as the waiters arrive at our table with dinner.

All the babies are given mashed vegetables. Teddy and the other, older children get chicken nuggets, fries and a selection of vegetable sticks and the adults are served Beef tenderloin with roasted rosemary potatoes, baby carrots and a red wine jus.

Dinner passes quickly as we all engage in casual conversation. We are interrupted a handful of times by employees passing our table but nothing to annoying.

Andrea walks up nervously. Strange, she's looking at me nervously, not Christian?

"Hi Andrea." I greet her.

"Mrs Grey." She smiles.

"Please call me Ana." I wave my hand. "It makes me feel old."

"Ana." She nods, professional as always. "Mr Grey, everything is ready."

Christian looks down at his watch. "Thank you Andrea." Christian stands and walks back to the microphone, tapping it a few times to get everyone's attention.

"The show will begin shortly." Christian clears his throat. "If you could all please wait until your table is informed by one of the ushers before making your way to the auditorium - it will save a bottle neck of people trying to enter at once. And please, be mindful of the children, this is after all, for them."

"Baby where's the auditorium. I didn't know there was one here."

"Baby there's a huge auditorium on the next level. We hardly use it. Only when we get business guests in to talk to the staff etc.."

"I can't believe I didn't know it was there." I frown.

"Don't frown baby, you'll get to see it In a few minutes."

"So what's the show, it's not some business thing is it babe? I'm not really in the mood for 'serious'."

"Nope." He replies, popping his p.


The lights are dimmed and the auditorium is alive with hushed chatter. Teddy is sitting on my knee. Gail has taken Phoebe up to Christians office as she fell asleep. Christian didn't seem to mind and said that it might be too loud for her anyway and would probably scare her.

"So baby..." Christian leans into me.

"Mmm."

"I have to shoot up to the office for a bit and take care of the catering invoices etc, I shouldn't be too long. Sawyer and Prescott are right begins you okay."

"Babe can't it wait? You will miss the show."

"Don't worry about me. This is for you." He smirks. "And Kate and Elliot...and Teddy." His grin gets wider.

I look at him suspiciously. "What is this?"

"Baby, you should know by now that when someone gives me a challenge. I always accept and I never fail."

"What are you talking about? You are not making any sense."

"When someone tells me I can never ever EVER, get them to do something. Well its in my nature to prove them wrong. You know me." He chuckles.

My eyes widen as I try and put two and two together... He wouldn't?

I cover Teddy's ears with my hands much to his annoyance. "What the fuck have you done Christian?" I whisper menacingly.

"I'll be back soon baby...in about..." He looks to his watch. "80 minutes. I love you baby." He kisses me then stands up.

"Chrrrrristian." I panic.

I squeal when there's an almighty bang and smoke starts drifting from the stage leaving a dinosaur standing in the middle. Teddy screeches at the top of his lungs - along with the 100 other toddlers here.

"Wiggles Mommy wiggles." He bounces up and down in my lap excitedly. Oh no he did fucking not!

"Bro, your the best." Elliot stands cheering and pats Christian on the shoulder to the right of me.

"Enjoy baby." Christian murmurs from behind. "You will never ever ever get me to a Wiggles concert." He laughs.

"I love you Christian... But I don't like like you right now." I shake my head.

"Awwww baby. You are so sexy when you pout. See you soon."

"Daddy you the bestest bestest ever." Teddy yells.

"Only the best for my boy." Christian replies winking at him and

giving him the thumbs up before disappearing up the aisle.

"And I'm captain feathersword."

"Let me introduce you to my friends."

Oh someone shoot me.
