At the hospital, Christian was getting examined. It seemed to take forever, but it needed to be done since Christian had hit his head. Ana was sitting in the waiting room, wanting answers about what it going on with her husband. Christian's parents, Grace and Carrick were there not only for the support, but to also to get answers about their son.
Grace got access to where her son was. After a few minutes, she approached her daughter in law. "He suffered a concussion when he hit his head. They did some testing, and they are still waiting for the results. He's been unconscious since he's been admitted. I tried to get to his records, but they aren't telling me much. All we could do now is wait."
"I've been waiting for an hour. I want to see my husband." Ana said as she stood up. She had so many emotions. She wanted to see him, touch him, talk to him.
"The staff is getting him ready for a private room, you will see him in a few minutes" Grace told her.
"I'm scared. It could be more serious than their telling us" Ana told her mother-in-law.
"I'm scared too, but we have to stay strong for Christian." Grace hugs her and Ana let the tears fall. After a few minutes of silence. There was a voice calling her.
"Mrs. Grey, you can see your husband now."
Ana let go of Grace and wiped the tears with her sleeve. She looked at the man in the white coat. "Thank you, doctor" she walked over to the doctor who led her into a room where Christian was. He looked so peaceful. Ana made her way towards the bed slowly. She felt like she was going to scare him if she approached him to fast.
There was big strong Christian Grey lying in a hospital bed. Even then he looked small, being hooked up to wires and covered in a white blanket. She didn't recognize him at first, but she knew that it was him. It was something never wanted to see. She grabbed his hand as a sign to let him know she was there.
"My gorgeous fifty. I'm not going anywhere. I am staying right here." She told him as bent down and kissed him on his forehead.
Silence filled the room. All Ana could go was stand there by her husband's bedside and hope that he was going to be alright. She wanted to go home, but the only way she would go is if Christian was going with her.
Grace and Carrick stood back as Ana took her time to see Christian. She was hoping for a miracle, hoping that he would wake up. She closed her eyes to try and help the tears, but she couldn't, she let them fall.
She was trying to think about his recovery and what was to come once he was released. She was lost in her thoughts when she heard a slight whisper and felt a slight squeeze.
"Ana" Christian was beginning to wake up. "Ana" he repeated.
Was this the miracle she was hoping for. Her husband opening his eyes and talking. "Oh Christian, your awake" Ana said as she wiped the tears away.
"I could never leave you." He said in a quiet voice. "Where am I?"
"You're in the hospital. You collapsed in the lobby and hit your head." She explained. "We're just waiting for results."
"How bad of a condition am I in?" he asked as he tried to sit up, but he didn't have the strength.
"Right now, all we know is that you have a concussion." Ana tried to hold back tears; she knew she had to be strong for her husband. If he saw that she was worried or scared, then he wouldn't be able focus on his recovery.
Christian's mother walked up to the bed. "Hi, honey" Grace said. "How do you feel?"
Christian sighed and closed his eyes. "Sore, tired, and hungry. We were supposed to have a date tonight. I got the best table in the restaurant."
Ana couldn't help, but smile. "Don't worry about that. It doesn't matter. We can always go when you feel better. I'm not going anywhere, and the restaurant is still going to be there." She bent down and kissed him on the lips. "I love you, Mr. Grey. I want you to get better. We'll be home soon. Get some rest. I'll go find the doctor" She let go of his hand and began to leave.
"Ana, please stay." Christian said as he reached for her arm. How could she leave her husband's side.
"I'll go, you stay." Grace said has she left the room. With Grace's medical background, it would be easier for her to answers since she was a doctor at the hospital. She knew the staff and the medical terms. She would be able to speak English to them when it came to Christian.
Carrick stepped up to the bed. "Hi, son. Do you need anything?" He had a sense of worry. He didn't like seeing any of his family in the hospital. He wished it was him in the bed and not his son.
"No, I'm alright. I just need to sleep."
Ana wanted to keep him awake until he was able to be seen by the doctor. They couldn't do much if they weren't able to talk to him. They needed to know things and they wouldn't be able to ask him if he wasn't conscious.
Carrick knew that Ana should spent some time alone with Christian. This was hard on her as much as it was hard on him. They needed time together. "Okay, I'll let you both be alone." He left the room in search of Grace, hoping that she'll have answers.
Ana needed to be close to her husband. She needed to feel him, touch him. She tried her best to get onto the bed beside Christian. It was tight squeeze, but she made it work. She placed her head on his chest. "I'm not leaving, Christian." She closed her eyes.
"I love you, Anastasia. To the moon and back."
They laid on the bed together in silence. They needed it. They needed the comfort. How did Christian for from being in her office to being in the back of an ambulance in a matter of minutes. She had sensed something was off with him when she saw him. Christian knew something was wrong on the drive over, but he didn't want to worry Ana and now here he is in a hospital bed with no answers on why he collapsed, but they both knew that Grace would work her magic and get everything they need. She wanted to make sure her family was taken care of.
