Chapter 4
News
We arrived in Seattle just in time for the last visit for Ray, we promised him that we will come back the morning after and tell him some news.
So when we came home we decided that we could prepare a breakfast and share with him, he will be so grateful because he doesn't like the food of the hospital, but I think that nobody likes. So it's a good idea go to have breakfast with him.
I wake up this morning feeling me terrible, I spend almost 30 minutes throwing everything that I have and even if a have nothing and my stomach was empty the nausea keep going, Christian stays with me all the time supporting me he looks so worry thankfully it was early so I have time to recover myself until we have to go to see Ray, Christian tell me that after we visit Ray we will spend the day at home in the bed resting.
I'm really nervous about telling Ray that he is going to be a Grandpa, I hope he takes the news well, deep down I know he will. He is such a great person I couldn't ask for another man to raised me. If I have to decide between living with my mom and husband number 3 and Ray I would never doubt about choosing Ray once again.
However, I don't know how my mom will take the news since she asked me if I was pregnant when we get engaged, I know she was young when she get pregnant with me and she doesn't want the same for me. But I'm happy with little blip and so is Christian, and we love each other so much so I'm not worry about anything.
Now we are in the car on our way to the hospital...
"Can I give you a penny for your thought?" Christian interrupts my daydream.
"Nothing, just thinking what we are going to say to my Dad, do you feel nervous?"
"Being honest yes I'm a little nervous, when I asked him for his permission to marry you he said that if we were getting marry because I knocked up you he will cut my balls, but besides that he was very gentle with me. So now that you are pregnant is a little scary however he knows I love you with all my life and I will always protect you, although telling a father that his only daughter is pregnant is scary too but don't worry we will be fine and he will be so happy. Are you nervous?"
"Yes I'm a little nervous but the reaction of my mom worries me more. I know my dad will be all over the moon about being a Grandpa just like your parents"
Grace has called us everyday making sure I'm okay, felling fine, healing my injuries and having the proper rest. And I'm not even two months pregnant and I already know that Christian and Grace will drive crazy, Christian from the side of husband and father will be over protecting and exaggerating about security, food, rest, he already make question for Dr. Greene to our next appointment in two weeks and Grace worrying about me from the side of a doctor and a good mother, Grandma and mother-in-law.
"Yes my parents are so happy I don't know how they are dealing with not telling anyone about Blip" he gives me a shy smile.
"Yes! And imagine how Mia will react, she will be crazy buying all sort of things" oh my God! She will be so excited
"I could hear her screaming that she is going to be an aunt. We have a month and two weeks to prepare our self for my sister's reaction"
"Blip will have a wonderful family"
"Yes, he will be so lucky" he takes my hand and kisses my knuckles.
"Sir, we are here" Taylor says as he stops In the front of the back door.
"Thank you Taylor, go and park the car we will go to Ray's suite"
Christian get out of the car and come to my door, open it and help me getting out.
We make our way to Ray's room. We enter the room and see him watching T.V.
"Hi daddy" I say with a big smile.
"Hi Annie, hi Christian, what are you doing here so early?"
"Hello Ray, good to see you. Ana thought it was a good idea to have breakfast with you today" Christian smiles down at me
"Yes, so we bring breakfast and we also have some news for you"
"Oh that's great, the coffee here is awful!"
"I couldn't agree more with you Ray!"
"Shall we start to eat?" I'm very hungry!
"Sure Annie"
For having breakfast we bring coffee for my dad and Christian, tea for me, pancakes (a lot!), Chocolate waffles which are my favorites nowadays, some fruit, muffins, cereal, bacon and omelet.
"Oh my god guys you bring food for an army!"
Christian and I laugh because we both know that I'm eating a lot more than I have ever eaten before.
"Wow Annie I have never seen you ate like that before"
I look down at my plate and I have pancakes, chocolate waffles, a muffin, and a cup of strawberry. Is it really that much? Well I don't care Little Blip and I am hungry. I look at Christian with a look that says if this is the moment to tell him. He smiles and gives me a small nod.
"Well, hmm there is reason for my new attitude with the food."
My Dad looks at me and I can see that deep down he know what I am saying and he is excited.
Christian takes my hand and I take a deep breath. "I am pregnant; you are going to be a Grandpa"
"I am going to be a Grandpa?" Now he sounds excited and emotional.
"Yes Daddy" I can fell the tears star to build in my eyes.
"Congratulations! Annie, Christian I am so happy for you! That's wonderful news. I love you both so much! I can't wait to be a Grandpa." He looks so happy. "Come on you two give a hug"
"Are you sure you are happy?" I am a little worried.
"Of course I am happy little girl, why wouldn't I be?"
I don't know" I start to cry.
"There is nothing wrong about you two being parents it would have happen eventually, you are married and are starting your own family and have a great family that will support you" oh my god this is why I love my Dad.
"Thank you Dad, I love you so much"
"Me too Annie, come on give a hug"
I stand up and go next to him and give him a big hug.
"Come on Christian join us"
Christian comes next to me.
"Thank you Ray"
"Thanks to you for giving me a Grandchild, now you have to take care of my little girl and my little grandchild"
"Of course I will take care of them Ray they are my life"
We spend the next hour talking about my pregnancy, how far I am, how I am felling, who know and who doesn't, when they will know and how I could expose my baby's life in the jack situation. I tell my dad about my worry about telling my mom and how she will react he tells me not to worry and that everything is going to be alright, and the only thing that matters now is Blip and Christian. This will be my family.
"Okay Dad we have to go now, I am still in bed rest and have to call mom to tell her, we will come back later or tomorrow"
"It's okay Annie, you need to rest and take care if that little one and don't do anything stupid or risky. Don't worry about your mom she will be fine and if it's not the case, she is not here but Christian and I are here always."
"I know Daddy I love you, Bye"
"Bye honey, Bye Christian take care of them"
"Of course Ray, see you"
Christian takes the things and then takes my hand then we exit the room, outside is Taylor waiting for us. Christian tells him to get ready the car and while we make our next appointment with Dr. Greene. We make our next appointment for Wednesday 12 of October. By that time I will be back to work. We make our way to the exit door where Taylor is waiting for us.
While we are in the car Christian start rubbing circles in my hand...
"Okay so that went very well"
"Yes I think that too, now I only have to tell my mom"
"It will be fine sweetheart don't worry; whenever you want we can go to Georgia to visit her. Or she can come here if she is available."
"I think that is she agree, she can come here, I star working next week and so do you" as I say this I can notice that his face changes.
"I know, but you know that you don't have to work, and I'm the owner of the company so if we want to be absent for a week, a month or a year we can do it without a problem, you know that." Now he sounds piss off.
"I know baby but I love my job and I want to work I don't want to be a trophy wife." I try to make him understand.
"You won't be a trophy wife; you will be raising our child"
"When he or she born yes but not now while I'm pregnant." We both are so stubborn.
"When he or she born we will discuss all this things, but for now I want to enjoy this 7 months that we have for us before we have a little one that depends on us for everything" is he finishing the argue?
"Are you agreeing with me?"
"No, I'm just leaving this conversation for the future, I have read that stress and argues are not good for your blood pressure and I don't want anything to happen to the both of you so I will leave this for now and in a couple of months we will talk about this but very relax."
"You have read about pregnancy?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Yes, I have read a lot. I told you that I want to support you and be with you during the whole pregnancy and if I want to do that I need to know about the topic. Because I could know about a lot of thing but when we talk about pregnancy and babies I don't know anything so I'm learning. Why are you so surprise?" I can fell the pride in his voice.
"I am so glad that you are happy with the baby and that you will support me the entire pregnancy." I move a bit closer so I can kiss his cheek.
"This baby is the result of our love and its half of you and half of mine so of course that I'm happy, this will be the reason we are going to be together forever." Oh he is so sweet!
"Oh my god, you are so sweet! I love you so much Christian"
"I love you Ana" he leans forward to kiss me.
He deepens the kiss. Taylor clears his throat and we break our contact.
"Hmm Sir, we are here"
"Thank you Taylor"
We walk hand in hand to the elevator, when we in, Christian push me against the wall and hold both of my wrist with one hand upside my head, with the other hold my face and with his body against mine but not too tight to not press my belly. He kisses me very passionate like our first kiss in the elevator of the Heathman.
When the elevator stops at the penthouse we reluctantly break our kiss. Once he releases my hands I caress his face.
"I love you" I say as I give him a quick kiss on the lips.
"I love you more sweetheart, we can continue this later because now I have to work a little so then we can have quality time together"
"Okay, you work while I call my mom"
As he says he goes to his office to work, I go to the kitchen and Gail is doing her usually clean up.
"Hello Gail!"
"Hello Mrs. Grey how was the breakfast?"
"Gail I already told you to call me Ana Mrs. Grey makes me feel like I am fifty years old! And the breakfast was wonderful as always"
"Mrs. Grey I don't know if that is good with Mr. Grey" I narrow my eyes to her.
"I don't care what Christian says about this. You call me Ana and I will deal with him." She gives me a smile knowing that I manage Christian very well.
"If you say Mrs. …" I look at her… "Ana, what would you like for lunch?"
"Hmm today I don't have any preference, but I sure would like some cheesecake with strawberry sauce"
She grins at me and nod. "Okay I will star working on it now."
"I can help you after I call my mom"
"No, this is my job and besides you are in bed rest for the rest of the week. In addition if you help me Mr. Grey won't like it at all."
"What did I told you 3 minutes ago? I will deal with him. This week I will not help you but next week I will and without buts! I love cooking and it makes me feel useful"
"Sorry for say this Ana, but you are so good to Mr. Grey. I am so happy that he found you" she is like another mom to me I really appreciate her.
"It's okay Gail I'm so happy that I found him and I am also so happy that I meet you and Taylor and maybe Sawyer too even if he is still a little mad at me for escape from him. You are like another mom to me, I don't have her here but I have you" I start to feel emotional.
"Oh Ana you are so sweet, I am so glad that you appreciate me I appreciate too. I like that you have the felling of me like another mom, you are also like my daughter I like you take care of you and help you, you bring so much happiness to this house" She looks emotional too.
"Oh my God, We are getting emotional!" My eyes are already teary. "Can I give you a hug?"
"Of course Darling" I go next to her and give her a big hug.
"You are so good to us Gail, Thank you so much" A single tear goes down my face.
"Thanks to you for being so nice" we pull apart and she wipes my tear. "Don't cry sweaty"
"They are not sad tears they are happy tears. Because we have you"
After my beautiful moment with Gail I go to the library to call my mom.
"Hi baby girl how are you?" Oh my god she only tell me Hi and I think I already start to cry.'
"Hi mom, I am lot better. How are you? And bob?"
"I am so glad you are better honey. We are both fine. Is everything fine, how is Christian?"
"Everything is wonderful, he is working we arrived half an hour ago we went to have breakfast with Ray"
"Oh that is nice, how is your Dad healing? Is he better?"
"Yes, he is a lot better too. Maybe they will discharge him sooner than it was expected if everything continues like this."
"Oh that's wonderful news for him. I bet he is being so grumpy that he has to be there doing nothing."
"Yes, he is but he also understands that is for his health so he is taking it better." I take a deep breath "So mom I call you because I have to tell you something" Now I sound much serious.
"Ana is something wrong? You sound very serious"
"Everything is perfect mom, this is something good"
"Okay if you say so. Tell me and let's finish with the mystery"
"I am pregnant" she doesn't say anything. "¿Mom are you there?" Now I'm worry.
"Are you sure?" her voice is so low.
"If I am sure that I'm pregnant? Yes I am very sure."
"Are you sure that you want to be a mother this young? Is Christian sure?"
"Yes mom, we are both very sure. What are you suggesting?" I think that I know what she is talking about. She always tells me that don't want me to be a young mom. "I suppose that you are not suggesting that I get rid of my child"
"No, it's just that you are so young and you are nearly married. I thought that you
Will wait for kids that you were on birth control"
"Yes I was but my shoot fail. We are young but we both want to be parents and have another 7 months for us and then we will be a family. We are both happy and excited. We are already here so we have to face the music and dance."
"Well congratulations. You will be a great mother. If you are happy then I am happy for you. I can't believe I am going to be a grandma this soon."
"I know, Grace, Carrick and Ray feel the same"
"They already know?" she sounds surprise.
"Yes, Grace saw my chart at the hospital with the situation with Jack and Christian tells his father in that moment. We told Ray this morning. And we will tell the other when I pass the 12 weeks."
"Wait a minute! So you were pregnant when Jack kidnapped your sister in law?"
"Yes, I found out that week." I say in my lowest voice like if I have done something wrong which I do, putting my life and my child in danger.
"Anastasia Rose Steele Grey! What were you thinking for god sakes?!" she sounds a little angry just as my dad and Christian.
"Mom, I have already heard that from Christian and my dad. I know I was stupid but I couldn't do anything else. Now we are both fine, he is such a strong and healthy baby and we will be fine."
"Sometimes you are headstrong. You put both of your lives in danger! You worry us so much! And I didn't even know you were pregnant. Oh my God Anastasia ¿what I'm going to do with you?!" I think she is going to star to cry.
"I won´t do it never again mom. I promise."
"You better not do it"
"What do you say if after my next appointment with the doctor you come here or I go there? Or you could come here for my next appointment and go with us?"
"I would love to go but this is yours and your husband moment I think that I can go for that date, what day is?"
"It's Wednesday 12 of October"
"Okay I think I could be there around the 15°"
"That would be wonderful mom" Now I am so excited that she is going to come.
"Okay sweaty I have to go. I have some things to do. I will call you more often
Now so we can talk about your pregnancy. Take care of the baby and yourself.
Don't stress too much. And send my congratulations to Christian and a big hug.
You will be so happy"
"Okay mom I will send them to him. I would love to talk to you about pregnancy. Take care of yourself and send greeting to Bob. I will call you soon. I love you."
"I love you too honey. Bye."
Well that was really good. Now I have to tell my husband how was my talk.
I make my way to his office and see him tipping on his laptop. He doesn't notice me because his door was open, I star to walk to him and as I am closer he sees me and open his arms to me.
I sit on his lap and put my arms around his neck and kiss his cheek.
"I just hung up with my mom, she says congratulations and sends you a big hug she says that if we are happy she is too." I have a big smile on my face.
"So, I assume that for your happy face everything went well without any problems?"
"Yes it was really good"
"See, everything was in your head. I told you"
"Yes you were right. I love you"
"I love you too honey"
Everything is so good right now. The grandparents already know, now we have to wait a couple of weeks so we can tell the aunts and uncles. And it is going to be perfect. I am so excited! Life is awesome and I have the best husband in the world.
I hope you enjoy this chapter. Let me know if you want me to continue with the story. Otherwise I think I will end it sooner I don't know I am not sure.
See you in a couple of days with their first appointment.
Cami.
