Baby, please come home. I'm sorry. I know what I did was incredibly stupid and you have no idea how sorry I am. I should have never have gone to her but I know I should have told you I did. Please come home so we can talk. I love you so much. You and our baby. Please don't leave me.

From: Mom
To: Anastasia Grey

Hey sweetheart! Hope you are feeling better and resting up. I'm sorry I couldn't stay longer. As soon as work allows me I'm coming to Seattle. Hope that husband of yours is looking after you until I get there. Love you x

From: Kate Kavanagh
To: Anastasia Grey

Hey girl, haven't heard from you in a few days. Hope you're okay. You know where I am if you need anything. Call me!

Ignoring the messages, Ana shook her head as she put her phone down on the table in front of her before picking up her cup of tea and taking a small sip. She walked for as long as she could but the exhaustion and pain of her ribs won and she needed a break. Not to mention she was soaked through. She needed time to think. Time alone. Heading into a small coffee shop she ordered herself a tea and plonked herself in the corner away from the majority of people. Christian had crossed the line by going to see that woman behind her back but to tell her about their baby was a step too far. Running her fingers through her wet hair she let a sigh pass her lips as she slouched in her chair, wincing slightly as her arm banded around her ribs slightly before sighing to herself. Finishing off her tea she then got up from her seat and gathered her belongings and left the coffee shop and headed down the street, glancing around slightly before she crossed the street and walked another few blocks going off into her own little world as she walked. Feeling someone barge into her, Ana was bought back to reality, the pain shooting through her ribs as her breath caught in her throat. "Hey, watch where you're going." She snapped at them but her face drained of colour seeing who it was. "Y..y..you should be in jail…" She stuttered.

"Sadly not. Delivering a note is not considered a crime." Elizabeth remarked back to her with a shrug. "Besides. I didn't know what was in the note. Jack just asked me to deliver it as a friend. How was I to know what was in it?"

Ana glared at her. "Yeah right. You knew exactly what he was doing to me yet you sat back and did nothing."

"I have no idea what you are talking about Ana."

"Liar!" Ana shouted as she poked her in the chest, anger fuelling her. "Don't you dare stand there and pretend you knew nothing."

Elizabeth looked to her before shrugging. "So what if I did? I didn't physically do anything to you. The only evidence they have is me delivering a note…not enough to hold me or charge me." She told her firmly. "Should be more careful Ana. Being married to Christian Grey is going to be hazardous to your health."

Ana raised an eyebrow. "Is that a threat?"

"It's a promise."

"Ana!" Came a familiar voice.

Looking in the direction of the voice Ana raised an eyebrow seeing Jose across the street, grinning and waving to her.

"Ana look out!" Jose shouted as he began to run towards her.

Ana frowned before she turned back to Elizabeth, her eyes widening as she saw Elizabeth coming at her with a knife. As two shots were fired at Elizabeth, Ana jumped a mile as she then watched Elizabeth fall to the floor, the knife sliding across the floor as people in the street began to scream and run. As Prescott appeared by her side, armed with her gun her mouth dropped a little but no words came out.

"Ana are you alright?" Jose asked as he reached her.

Ana looked to him blankly before she then looked to Elizabeth on the floor.

"Mr Rodriguez, please will you take Ana straight home." Prescott told him as she kept her eyes locked on the body in front of her.

Jose nodded before he looked to Ana. "Come on." He told her before he then ushered out of the street and over to his car. Opening the door for her he waited for her to get in before he then climbed in the driver's side and drove to Escala. Looking to Ana now and again. She had no emotion on her face. She was blank. She hadn't said a word. Pulling into the garage at Escala he watched as she got out of the car and went over to the elevator, following her into the elevator he waited for them to reach the penthouse suite, looking as the doors opened and Ana just walked straight in, Jose following behind her.

"Anastasia…" Came Christian's voice as he got up from the couch quickly as he saw her come in.

Ana looked to him as he called her. Looking to him blankly she then headed into the bedroom, dumping her belongings on the side before going into the bathroom. Stripping off her wet clothes she turned on the shower, wrapping her plastered up in a plastic bag before getting under the hot spray, leaning against the wall she let the hot water hit her bruised body before the tears sprung her eyes as she just broke down. Sliding down the wall she bought her knees up to her chest as best she could, hugging them, the tears streaming down her face. A wave of emotions running through her. How had today started so lovely and ended up being so shitty?

Hearing the shower, Christian sighed a little before he frowned a little seeing Jose. "You found her?"

"I wasn't aware she was missing." Jose commented with a frown before sighing. "But there is something you should know, you'll probably find out soon from that woman bodyguard but Ana was nearly stabbed in the street."

Christian glared at him. "What? By who? When?" He asked looking to him.

"About ten minutes ago. I saw her in the street with that woman from her work. Elizabeth I think her name is. I called her then as Ana looked to me this woman pulled out a knife and went for her but your bodyguard shot her before she even had the chance." He explained looking to him. "She told me to bring Ana straight here…"

"Taylor!" Christian shouted before he looked to Jose as Taylor appeared. "You tell Taylor everything." He instructed firmly before he quickly ran into the bedroom through to the bathroom. Seeing Ana on the floor crying in the shower his heart broke into a million pieces. This was all his fault. If they hadn't of argued she wouldn't have stormed off angry at him and she wouldn't have had a run in with Elizabeth. Stripping off his own clothes he got into the shower with her, moving to sit on the floor next to her he looked to her for a few minutes before he moved his arm around her and pulled her to him, sighing as she flinched at his touch. "It's okay….it's me…" He whispered to her.

Ana shook her head as she tried to push him away but she didn't have to energy, her body stiffening at his touch.

As she tried to push him away, Christian shook his head as he took her hand and held it in his lap as he kept her close to him. "Don't." He told her. "Please don't push me away." He pleaded with her. "I got you, you're safe." He told her.

Hiding her face with her hand Ana just cried even more as her body relaxed slightly against his.

Feeling her body relax slightly, Christian pressed a kiss to her head and just held her. This being the first time he's been able to hold her properly since before his trip to New York. Kissing her head once more he just held her and let her cry as the water flowed over them. When she eventually stopped crying he gently got up from the floor, scooping Ana up and headed into the bedroom, grabbing a towel along the way. Moving Ana to her feet he watched her for a few minutes before he grabbed a towel and slowly and gently began to dry her off, gently taking the plastic bag off her cast. She had zoned off into her own little world. It was now that she was standing naked in front of him he could see the damage Hyde had done. Her body was covered in bruises although the bruises across her ribs were the darkest. Her burns. It didn't surprise him that she didn't want him to touch her. They looked so red and sore.

"Why didn't you tell me you went to see her?" Came Ana's question as she looked to her husband, her face still not giving anything away. She was blank. It was annoying the hell out of her. She needed answers from him, not excuses.

Hearing her question, Christian looked to her, wrapping a towel around his waist before sighing a little. "Because I didn't want to upset you even more. I know I should have told you that I saw her but you were so mad at me and I just didn't want to end up upsetting you even more. I don't know how I ended at the salon; I just walked and walked after I couldn't get to see Flynn. She was leaving as I was walking past and she knew something was wrong. So we talked." He looked to her. "She lied to you when she said that I told her you were pregnant. I didn't. I talked about the possibility of us having a family so whether she put two and two together or asked someone I don't know. She said that to be cruel to you. She knows you don't like her. I would never tell her something so personal about us." He gently took her hand and held it to his chest as he looked to her. "Seeing her…finally put into perspective about what we did being wrong. Knowing I'm going to be a dad…I'd never want my son or daughter to ever have to go through anything like I did as a child or a teenager or meet her or anyone like her. I told her that night I never wanted to see her again and I didn't want any contact from her. You and our baby are my future. I want nothing to do with her." He told her softly as he gently moved his hand to her face and wiped away a stray tear that had slid down her cheek with his thumb. "I told Taylor to take her off the list for the club. She won't be able to go in there again."

Listening to him Ana just nodded slightly at him before she sighed a little and rubbed her forehead a little.

"Are you okay?" He asked looking to her, still softly stroking her cheek. "Jose told me what happened with Elizabeth…I'll kill that detective for not informing me she was released."

"Lucky Prescott was there." She mumbled before she moved away from him, grabbing one of his t-shirt she slipped it on before she tied her wet hair up in a messy bun and put on a pair of clean panties.

"You didn't answer my question…" Christian whispered looking to her. "Are you okay?"

Ana looked to him blankly before shrugging a little. "I've had better weeks."

Putting on his pyjama bottoms he moved over to her and gently cupped her face. "Hyde will be going down for a very long time…and Elizabeth is probably dead…things will get better." He whispered to her.

Ana looked to him before she sighed and pressed her forehead to his chin as she closed her eyes. "I just want to forget."

"And you will but it'll just take some time…" He whispered down to her before he pressed a kiss to her forehead. "You look exhausted. Come to bed?"

Ana looked to him for a few seconds before she gave a slight nod as she moved over to the bed. She felt like crap. Watching as Christian climbed into bed she then carefully got in herself, facing away from Christian as she laid down before she shuffled back until she felt his chest against her back, her body stiffen slightly before she began to relax. Taking his arm she moved his around her, holding onto his hand tightly. She couldn't be afraid of his touch. She knew Christian wouldn't hurt her. She couldn't keep pushing him away just because she was currently scared of her own shadow.

As Ana backed herself to him, Christian couldn't help but smile. Letting her do what she needed to do with his hand he then kissed her head, gently holding her close to him as he rested his head on his pillow his eyes falling to a close. "I love you." He whispered to her.

Hearing him, Ana tightened her grip on his hand. "I know." She whispered back. "I love you too." She whispered before she let her own eyes fall to a close and for the first time in what felt like forever she fell asleep, content in her husband's arms.
