Chapter 50 - Fifty's day out
CPOV
I lie on the bed and look down in wonder at my wife. She's fallen asleep, a look of pure peace and satisfaction on her flawless face. A sense of déjà vu washes over me. I lay in this same bed and watched her for hours four years ago, the only difference now is that she is naked and I can touch her. I reach over and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. She takes a deep breath and moans contentedly but doesn't wake.
I climb out of bed slowly, trying not to wake her and pull my chinos on. I pull my t-shirt over my head and grab a dark navy blue cable knit sweater from the pile of clothes sitting on our suitcase. I smile as I hear Phoebe babbling away to herself. I creep over to the baby monitor and turn it off so the noise doesn't disturb Ana. She's been working so hard lately trying to get everything ready for the company when she leaves soon. With the pregnancy on top of her work load she hasn't been sleeping well so I want her to rest. Nothing is more important to me than Ana and the children's health and well being.
I shut our bedroom door and head to the children's room.
Teddy is just beginning to stir and Phoebe is sitting up in her porta-cot gnawing on her hand.
"Hello Princess." I bend down and pick her up.
"Dadadada." She cries.
"Daddy's here baby girl." I rub her back and sniff her hair. One of my new favourite smells. She starts blowing raspberries and coos. I hold her up and blow raspberries back and she inhales trying to laugh but no sound comes out. Eventually she squeaks and smiles.
"Daddy's going to lock you up when you're older." I blow on her tummy. "Yes I am, you are just to pretty to be out in public." She wiggles her legs and blows more raspberries, some of her dribble dripping down to my cheek. "Only you would get away with that Princess." I press my cheek to my shoulder and wipe off the dribble.
"Daddy." Teddy sits up in the bed and rubs his eyes. "Me thwursty."
"Thirsty?" I ask to make sure I've understood him correctly. He nods and climbs off the bed. "Okay, come on champ, we can go and get a drink."
I put Phoebe in her bouncer while I get Teddy a drink of water. "Where my Mommy." He asks.
"She's sleeping son. Mommy is tired."
"Why Mommy tired?" He takes a gulp of his water.
"Because Mommy has been working very hard and her body is busy trying to grow your new brother or sister." I get myself a drink of water.
"But why Daddy?"
"Why are we getting a new baby?"
He nods. "Well, because... Mommy and Daddy love each other very much."
"Me hav bay bee too?" He asks his eyes lighting up.
"Yes, it'll be your baby too. You are going to be the big brother."
"Kay, me be big. Me no wan more FeeBees, FeeBee pulls my hair."
I chuckle. "What shall we do while Mommy sleeps?"
"Happy coppa." He shouts instantly.
"Teddy I don't think it's a good time to be going for a helicopter ride. Not when Mommy is asleep and Daddy has you munchkins all to himself.." I get an idea, "but, I think I know something that might be just as fun."
"Kay." Teddy claps.
"You don't want to know what it is."
"No, me do fun." He hops off the chair and runs into my arms. I take him and place him on the sofa and turn cartoons on. "You stay here and watch cartoons while Daddy changes Phoebe and gets ready okay." He doesn't answer, he's busy watching a little girl singing about her backpack. I change Phoebes diaper and dress her in a little pair of white jeans, a frilly pink t-shirt and a pink peacoat. Fuck she's cute. I find a pair of white socks and put them on followed by her purple Mary-Janes.
When I exit the room Sawyer is slumped on the sofa with Teddy watching the same little girl. "Won't be long, I'll just leave Ana a note." I hand him Phoebe and creep into our room. Ana is still fast asleep. I grab a pen and paper from my satchel and scribble a note quickly:
Ana,
Taken the kids out to have a look around. Didn't want to wake you. We will be back later this afternoon. I'm taking Sawyer. Call me if you need anything.
I love you
C xxxx
Ps, don't forget we have the WSU dinner tonight. Gail will watch the children in our suite.
I leave the note on the pillow beside her.
Sawyer pulls up outside a toy shop.
"What dis Daddy?" Teddy asks peering out the window.
"It's a shop. I want to find you something and I think they might have some here."
I open the back door of the SUV and unbuckle Phoebe. She grabs my hair and pulls. Christ she has some strength. "Phoebe, No!" My tone of voice startles her and she lets go. "You hurt Daddy." I kiss her nose and place her on my hip with one arm wrapped around her back to hold her securely. Sawyer has Teddy already out of the car and is holding his hand on the sidewalk.
"Fasta Daddy." Teddy jumps up and down excitedly.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." I roll my eyes and adjust Phoebe so she's sitting more comfortably, then head into the store with Sawyer and Teddy close behind.
The store is small but cosy with rows of shelving.
"Hi, can I help you with anything today?" A middle aged blonde woman appears from behind a shelf. She stops when she sees me and her eyes widen.
I clear my throat. "I'm looking for a remote control helicopter." I reply.
It takes her a moment to respond and Sawyer snickers beside me.
"Umm, sure I think we stock a few. This way." She motions to one of the back aisles with her hand and begins walking.
"Here we go." She points to the boxes of helicopters but doesn't leave.
"Coppas Daddy." Teddy shouts and points at a helicopter that's white like Charlie Tango. I take it off the shelf and take a look at it. It's a V398 air attack missile launching helicopter.
"Me wan that one."
"Not this one Son." I put it back on the shelf. Ana would have my balls if Teddy started launching missiles at people.
I grab another one, it is a yellow Hornet V388. I read the box. The throttle can be locked so I can control the speed Teddy can fly it, it also locks so it can hover without Teddy having to use the remote. It's quiet, stable and easy to land. Perfect.
"What about this one?" I hand Teddy the box. He takes it from me and studies it.
"Me no wike ello." He says, not liking the yellow colour.
"I believe we have that particular helicopter in white." The sales assistant says, looking through the boxes on the shelf. "Ah, here we go." She hands Teddy the box.
"Me wan dis one Daddy."
"I'll take them both." I tell the assistant. "We will need batteries too." I'm getting the yellow one for myself so Teddy and I can have some real fun.
"Certainly." I walk around the shop a little longer. I choose a little doll for Phoebe that's dress has little tags that will help her learn different textures. There's a stand of Teddy bears by the counter. I grab a cream bear with a yellow ribbon for the baby. I can't buy something for one child without buying something for all of them.
"Your daughter is very beautiful." The sales assistant says, batting her eyelashes as I place the doll and bear on the counter. I smile.
"She is isn't she?" I smirk. "Spitting image of her gorgeous Mommy." I kiss Phoebes hair then pull my wallet out of my pocket. I pull out my Amex and hand it over, making sure my
Wedding band is visible. She looks up at me. Yeah, back off and stop with the eyelash shit, it's annoying.
"My Daddy hab a coppa." Teddy tells her. "My daddy flwys in coppa an he take me."
"That sounds exciting." She smiles down at him.
"Mm hmm and my Mommy sweeping because Daddy wuvs Mommy and gives her baby... And me be big but me no wike it when FeeeBeee pull my hair."
"Teddy, thats enough." I say softy and ruffle his hair. Christ does he always give out all this information to strangers.
The lady hands my card back along with a bag containing all the purchases, except for Teddy's helicopter, that one Teddy insists he carry himself.
With the kids all bundled back into the car I ask Sawyer head to a local park, somewhere we can fly the helicopters. As we are driving down the streets of Portland I spot a Jewellery store. "Pull over here Luke."
He brings the car to a stop outside of the store. "Stay here with the children, I won't be long."
"Me come Daddy?" Teddy asks.
"Okay, come on then. Will you be okay with Phoebe for a few?" I ask Sawyer.
"Yes Sir."
I unbuckle Teddy and we run into the shop.
"What toy here Daddy?" He looks around at all the glass cabinets.
"No toys here Champ. I want to buy something special for Mommy."
"Oooo.. Me, me wan buy someting Mommy too."
I look at rings, no she has enough already and it were up to me the only rings she would wear was her engagement and wedding rings. I look at Teddy beside me, he is looking at the bracelets. The charms catch my eye and I scan through the rows of dangling charms.
"That would be perfect. Mommy would love that." I point at a charm, a little teddy bear with a diamond encrusted bow around its neck."
"Mommy wan bear?" He looks up at me.
"A Teddy. Like you."
"Wike me?..." He thinks for awhile and nods smiling. The sales lady who has been watching us carefully walks over when she sees we may have chosen something.
"Can we see the Teddy bear charm please?"
She pulls the stand out and takes off the charm. "Yip me by dat." Says forcefully without even looking at it.
"We'll take that one. I'll also have the little girl with the diamond tiara." Our little Princess.
"Certainly." I leave her to gift wrap the charms individually at my request and continue browsing. I want to get her something to wear to the dinner tonight. Then I see it, the perfect necklace. It's a diamond drop necklace, just like her second chance earrings. The diamonds start off larger at the neck and get progressively smaller as they drop. There are five diamonds in total. One diamond for each of us in our little family, including little blip.
"Would you like to have a look." The lady interrupts my viewing. I nod.
"Mommy like that." Teddy dances around next to me as I inspect the necklace.
"Yes, she will like it. I'll take this as well." Ana's always complaining that I spend far to much money on her when it comes to jewellery. I think she'll appreciate something that comes from a local jeweller and not the usual Cartier or Tiffanys.
I hand over my card not bothering to check the cost. I don't care, there is no price I would put on Ana, she deserves the world.
Teddy and I run back to the car with our purchases. Phoebe is busy blowing raspberries at Sawyer who is pulling funny faces at her. He coughs and straightens up when we enter. I chuckle.
Teddy and I sit in the park and set up our helicopters, Sawyer is pushing Phoebe around in her stroller. "I think we are good to go Champ." I grin holding up his helicopter. I have just put the batteries in it.
"Look Daddy, it a really coppa. Like a really one." His eyes brighten and widen, his enjoyment is infectious.
"Can you say cop?"
"Mm yip, me can." He nods an smiles.
"Say it." I chuckle. "Say Cop."
"Say Cop." He repeats and I laugh.
"Now TER."
"Terrrrr." He slurs.
"Now say it together. Copter."
"Copterrrrr." He holds his R.
"Now, can you say Heli. Hell - eeeee". He frowns and cross his arms.
"Me no say dat."
"Just try." I encourage him.
"Helwi,". He frowns and a little V forms on his forehead just like Ana.
"Hell Eeeee." I emphasise.
"Heleee". He says and I clap and cheer.
"Now say it all together - helicopter."
"Heleeeecopterrrrrr."
"Way to go champ. You are so clever." I grab him under my arm and ruffle his hair.
"Me play heleeeecopterrrrr." He looks at me with hope and excitement.
I place his helicopter on the grass and then pull him on to my lap. By now Sawyer has joined us and is rocking a sleeping Phoebe back and forth in her stroller.
"Put your hands on mine." I am holding the remote control. He places his hands on mine and together we flick the switch. The blades starting turning and Teddy starts cheering.
"Look Daddy. It works."
"Lets get this baby up in the air." I grin, having just as much fun as Teddy.
"It no baby, daddy. It be a heleeeeecopterrrr." He laughs.
I take his hand and guide it to the lever then slowly we push it up and the helicopter starts to rise.
Teddy is so excited he leaps out of my lap and knocks the controller from my hands. The helicopter falls to the ground.
"Uh oh." He runs to the helicopter and picks it up, his lip trembling.
"It's okay son. It's not broken. Shall we try again?" He puts the helicopter back on the ground standing up right and runs back to my legs. "Ready? Here we go."
I power it up again and get it into the air. Using the controls I make it fly around in a circle. Teddy is clapping and cheering.
We spend a good hour just flying our helicopters. Teddy eventually gets the hang of using the controls. Sawyer steps in every so often when Teddy starts having trouble.
When Phoebe wakes and it's time to leave Teddy is disappointed. As much as I'd love to stay here and play helicopters for the rest of the day I have a dinner to get ready for. We didn't make it to the zoo, but Teddy doesn't seem to remember so I won't remind him. We can go tomorrow either before or after the graduation ceremony.
"Me hungy." Teddy pouts as we walk back to the SUV.
"We can get something back at the hotel." I pick him up and swing him up so he can sit on my shoulders. My hands holdings his so he doesn't fall back.
"Kay Daddy. Tank you Daddy for heleeeecopterr."
"You're welcome Son." And I smile, a genuine face splitting smile.
Gail is in our suite when we return. "Afternoon Gail." I smile, still on cloud nine after my day with the children. I look around for Ana.
"Mr Grey." She smiles back. "Ana is in the bath." I nod. "Go." She giggles. "I'll sort these little ones out." She must have seen something in my expression indicating I want Ana.
"Thank you."
I sneak into the bathroom. Ana is lying back surrounded by bubbles, her hair piled on top of her head and her eyes closed.
"Hey there beautiful." I kneel down and kiss her, holding her face as the the kiss deepens. When I pull away she is breathless.
"I missed you." She smiles shyly.
"And I you." I kiss her again quickly. "Good sleep?" She sits up straight and nods.
"Just what I needed. Thank you."
I grab the wash cloth and starting washing her back gently. She moans and her head drops forward.
"That feels nice." She mutters. I kiss her shoulder and wash down her arms. "How was your afternoon?"
"It was good, really good." I smile widely, remembering Teddy's face watching his helicopter fly around.
"I like seeing you smile like that." She reaches up and caresses my cheek. I lean in to her touch.
"I have plenty to smile about." I take her hand from my face and kiss her palm.
I stand up and starting taking my clothes off to join her. She leans back and watches, a small satisfied grin on her face the whole time. "Scoot forward." She pushes herself forward and I climb in behind her, then pull her back to lean on me. She rests her head on my shoulder and starts rubbing my thighs.
I snake my arms through hers and rest my hands on her little bump and we just sit there in comfortable silence.
After awhile I voice my thoughts aloud. "How many children do you want?" I ask, just out of curiosity. Will she want more after this one.
"At least three." She giggles and I roll my eyes. "I don't know, just the three maybe? How many do you want?"
I think about it for a minute. "I think four to even things out would be nice."
"We'll see. A bigger gap next time, if we do decide to have another." She sighs, snuggling back more.
"I bought the baby a Teddybear today."
"You did?" She sits up and turns into me grinning.
I shrug. "I figured if I bought one of them something I had better buy them all something."
"You." She kisses me. "Are." She kisses me again, a longer deeper kiss. "Amazing." She breathes against my lips and wraps her hands around my neck.
"For buying a bear?" I ask, slightly confused.
"No, for being such a wonderful Dad." I gaze into her eyes and see nothing but sincerity. "You are." She growls. I kiss her and pull her on to my lap so she is facing me.
"You really do have the most amazing tits." I mutter, looking at her breasts, then running my thumbs over her nipples.
"Why thank you." She giggles, and swipes some bubbles down my nose. "To be honest, I'd be a bit worried if you didn't like them."
"Like them? Baby, I lovvvvve them." I lean forward and nuzzle between them. "Best tits to ever walk this planet." I mumble.
"You don't think they are a bit saggy? You know after breast feeding?" She cups them and holds them up in her hands and I laugh at the sheer stupidity of the comment.
"No." I scoff. She looks down at them. "They are perfect." I growl, because they are. They are fuller, probably because she's pregnant, but still as perky as they were before she had Teddy.
"You don't think they could do with a bit of a lift?" She asks.
"Don't you dare think about touching my tits with a knife." I scowl.
"Your tits." She mouths.
"Mine." I mouth back with a frown.
"Keep your knickers on. I only mentioned it because Kate was talking about getting...never mind." She bites her lip.
"I mean it Ana, I don't care what Kate does with hers, don't fucking mess with perfection or I'll be pissed."
"Yes Sir!" She starts to roll her eyes but quickly stops and looks back at me wide eyed.
"You're on a roll today, baby." I smirk. "As much as I'd like to stay here and spank your sweet tush, we have a dinner to get to."
She groans. "Do we have to? I can think of other things I'd rather be doing." She grabs my cock and starts stroking it.
"Like what?" I tease.
She leans forward and positions her mouth next to my ear. "Like fucking you with my mouth." She purrs before shuffling back and doing just that.
We are both sated and dressed for dinner. Ana is just finishing up her makeup in the bathroom. I take the jewellery we purchased for Ana and take it in to the living area.
"So, when Dad winks, you give your gift to Mommy. Do you think you can manage that?" Teddy snickers at our little secret and nods. I hand him the little gift wrapped boxes - the teddy bear and princess charms. I would give the box to Phoebe but I'm sure she would just try to chew the box so Teddy can give them on behalf of them both.
"I'll be back soon champ, remember, when I wink." He give a thumbs up and hides the boxes under his t-shirt.
I take the necklace I bought her out of the velvet box and head to the master suite. This will go perfect with the black sleeveless pencil dress she is wearing.
"I'm sorry, I'm nearly done." She says looking at me through the mirror as she applies her lip gloss.
I walk up behind her and kiss her bare shoulder. Without saying a word I place the necklace around her neck and secure it at the back, finishing with another kiss.
When I look up she is gaping at it, her fingers stroking it delicately.
"C..Christian...it's beautiful." Her voice quiet and breathy. She looks at me through the mirror.
I smile shyly. "I thought it would match your earrings. Plus, there's five diamonds, just like our little family." She place a hand on her bump and a single tear falls down her cheeks.
"Hey..." I turn her around and wipe the tear from her skin with my thumb. "Don't cry, I hate it when you cry."
"Oh Christian." She chokes. "I love you." She flings her arms around my neck and kisses me. "Thank you, I love it, I love you."
"I love you too, baby."
I take her hand and lead her into the living area. Teddy bolts up immediately, holding on to his t-shirt.
"Look Mommy." He pulls out the boxes and holds them out for her. She looks at them, then looks at me. I shrug, and chuckle at Teddy who was too excited to stick to the plan.
"What do we have here?" Ana kneels in front of Teddy and takes the boxes from his hands.
"Giffs." He states proudly.
"Gifts?" She asks and he nods.
"You boys are spoiling me today." She clutches her new necklace and looks up at me with teary eyes.
"Open, Mommy." Teddy eggs her on.
She opens the first box and peels back the tissue paper."
"It's me, Teddy." He announces, the excitement in his voice evident.
"Oh Teddy. I love it, it's adorable, just like my Teddy." She pulls him into a hug and holds him tightly. I kneel down beside her and take her hand. She is wearing the charm bracelet at my request. I asked her to wear it when we were dressing earlier. She hands me the little charm and I attach it to her bracelet.
"Nex one." Teddy claps, an Ana begins opening the other box.
"Dat FeeBeee."
"Princess." Ana whispers, and she can no longer hold back her tears. "Thank you." She breathes. "Both of you." She wipes her tears away with the back of her hand. "And you too Princess." She looks over at Phoebe who is dozing in her bouncer.
"Daddy, Mommy cry." Teddy looks confused.
"Happy tears, Teddy." Ana reassures him. I take the Princess charm from her fingers and place it on her bracelet next to Teddy. She looks at the charms then gives Teddy a sloppy, loud kiss on the cheek.
"I love you little Man."
"Me wuv Mommy." She kisses him again before turning to me. I watch Teddy run back to the sofa and resume watching tv with his helicopter on his lap.
"I love you too Mr Grey." She hugs me tightly.
"And I you, Mrs Grey." She holds on to me for a moment longer before pulling away, then reaches up and kisses me gently.
"You smell good." She mutters against my cheek. "Really good." Her voice suggestive. I shake my head chuckling. Just like that my horny wife makes an appearance.
"Lets go. We have a little spare time and we are on our own tonight. I'm sure we can stop somewhere... Private."
"No security?"
"No security."
"Well then, I know just the place." She winks. "Somewhere I've been wanting to...ride...for awhile." She whispers.
"And where would that be?" I raise a curious eyebrow.
"Is Charlie Tango still in Portland?" She bites her lip.
My eyes widen in shock. She wants to fuck in Charlie Tango? "Oh, baby. Your wish is my command."
