"Mrs Grey…" Came Mrs Jones soft voice from outside the bathroom. "It's nearly time to leave for your appointment."
"I'll be there in a second." Ana called before she sighed a little. Not long after she had finished her breakfast, Ana's morning sickness had started and she had spent the last twenty minutes being sick. Grabbing a hand towel she wiped her mouth before she got to her feet and flushed the toilet, arm banding around her ribs she headed over to the sink, turning the water on she quickly brushed her teeth. She hated being sick, it made her ribs hurt even more. Rinsing her mouth out she then looked to the mirror. She looked awful. Adding a bit of make-up to her face, Ana rolled her eyes. It didn't make much difference. Running her fingers through her hair she then made her way out of the bathroom and into the main room. Seeing Ryan she frowned a little. "Ryan? I thought you were on vacation?"
"I was Mrs Grey, but Taylor rang me and informed me of everything that had happened while I had been off. I was more than happy to come back early." He told her with a soft smile.
Ana looked to him before she smiled a little. "Well as soon as Prescott has back you finish off your vacation."
"Not necessary ma'am. I was back from South Africa anyway. Being back to work saves me doing three weeks off laundry." He commented with a soft smile.
Ana smiled to him. "Well we shall be leaving shortly." She informed him before going into the kitchen where Mrs Jones was finishing cleaning up.
Mrs Jones looked to Ana and smiled a little. "How are you feeling?"
"It feels like if I be sick anymore I'm going to end up breaking another rib." She grumbled with a sigh. She had told Gail she was pregnant, although surprised that Taylor didn't mention anything but as soon as Ana felt like she was going to be sick she had to tell her. She didn't want Gail to think it was her cooking making her sick and everyone pretty knew she was pregnant anyway so it was only fair Gail knew as well.
Mrs Jones looked to her sympathetically before she finished wiping the worktops down and grabbed her handbag. "Are you ready?"
Ana smiled and nodded to her, grabbing her own handbag she then headed over to the elevator, Mrs Jones beside her while Ryan pushed the button for the elevator, waiting for them to step in before he got in and pushed the button for the parking lot. As the doors pinged open once more, Ana headed over to the SUV, offering Ryan a soft smile as he opened the door for her. "Thank you Ryan." She commented as she gently climbed in while Mrs Jones got in the other side. As Ryan began to drive out Ana grabbed her phone and text Christian.
From: Anastasia Grey
To: Christian Grey
Mr Grey, we are on our way to the hospital. You didn't need to ask Ryan to come back from vacation early but I know you're just being your over protective self. Fly safe, love you xx
Sending the message she rested her phone in her lap before she looked out the window, trying to ignore the feeling of wanting to throw up. As her phone went off she looked to the message from Christian and smiled a little to herself as she read his message.
From: Christian Grey
To: Anastasia Grey
Well he can continue his vacation when Prescott returns Mrs Grey. Yes I'm being protective. It's something I'm very good at. I want my wife and unborn baby safe while myself and Taylor are not there. I'm just about to get on the plane. I'll text you when I land. Love you too xx
Popping her phone into her bag she rubbed her forehead a little before she rested her head back on the seat rest as she stared aimlessly out the window as Ryan drove them to the hospital, going off into her own little world.
"We're here." Ryan commented as he pulled up in the hospital parking lot and got out of the car and around to Ana's side as he opened the door for her.
Snapping out of her own thoughts, Ana got out of the car, closing her eyes briefly as she felt dizzy before she shook her head and smiled slightly to Ryan before she walked beside Mrs Jones as they headed into the hospital while Ryan followed behind them. Getting into the elevator, Ana pushed the button for the fifth floor, resting back against the elevator wall before she closed her eyes briefly and took a deep breath.
"Mrs Grey are you alright?" Gail whispered to her, a frown on her features as she looked to her.
Opening her eyes, Ana turned her head slightly to look at her and sighed a little. "I don't feel right…" She whispered back to her.
"I'll get you some water as soon as we are out of here." She informed her before she then looked to the elevator doors as they pinged open as they reached their destination. "Come on let's get you sat down." She told her softly.
As the doors opened Ana gave a slight nod as she stepped out of the elevator and began to walk down the corridor, suddenly stopping in her tracks she moved her hand to head.
Walking beside Ana, Gail frowned as she suddenly stopped. "Mrs Grey…."
"Everything is spinning…" Ana mumbled before she completely blacked out, her knees given way as she collapsed.
As Ana passed out, Gail eyes widened as she quickly knelt beside her. "Mrs Grey!" She called before she looked to Ryan. "Get help!" She ordered before she looked to Ana and put her in the recovery positon. "Ana, can you hear me?" She called to her but she was out cold. Looking up as Ryan came back with some nurses and a gurney, Gail stepped back before she looked to them. "You need to call Dr Grace Trevelyan-Grey. She's Mrs Grey's mother in law and was coming in for her appointment." She informed them before she got out her phone to text Taylor.
From: Gail Jones
To: Jason Taylor
Call me ASAP.
Sending it she sighed and followed them all down as they wheeled Ana to a cubicle, oxygen mask over her face. She had a little bump on her head from where she fainted but nothing too serious.
"Mrs Jones…." Came Grace's voice from behind her.
"Oh Mrs Trevelyan-Grey, thank goodness you're here."
Seeing Ana unconscious and in a cubicle, Grace frowned and looked to Gail. "What's going on?" She asked. She needed some facts.
"I don't know." Gail responded with a sigh. "She just passed out. She said in the elevator she didn't feel right, but didn't elaborate. I was going to get her some water when we sat her down…." She trailed off and sighed. "She was sick quite a lot this morning after breakfast."
Grace nodded a little to her before she then headed over to the cubicle. "Get an IV line in and a bag of saline up." She ordered before looking to the nurse. "Temperature and blood pressure?" She asked looking to her.
"Temperature is one hundred and four and blood pressure is eighty two over forty six." The nurse informed her before looking to her. "Hey oxygen level is sixty six."
Grace's eyes widened slightly before she nodded. She had to stay calm. Temperature was through the roof and her blood pressure was at an all-time low and oxygen wasn't great. "Get a blood sample and send it straight off for analysis. We need to know if we are dealing with an infection or not. Administer some Tylenol and let's see if we can get her temperature down." She told them before she grabbed Ana's chart and wrote down some notes. "I want that sample pushed through." She told the nurse. "Tell them it's an emergency and any problems they can contact me and I want an ultrasound machine." She told the nurse before she then looked to her daughter in law. As her eyes began to flutter open, Grace moved to her side and gently took her hand. "Ana…can you hear me?" She whispered softly to her.
"Grace…" Ana mumbled through her oxygen mask.
"I'm here sweetheart." She whispered as she gently stroked her hand.
"Where am I? What's going on?" She asked with a frown as she pulled her mask off. "Christian…"
"It's okay you're in safe hands. You're at the hospital, you fainted." She told her with a sigh before she smiled to her. "I'll call him. I'll get him to come straight home." She told her before she moved some hair from her face. "Get some sleep." She told her before she popped her mask back on her face. "You need to keep this on for now. We'll get a nasal one in for you soon." She told her but Ana was already asleep. Sighing a little she then left the cubicle, closing the curtain behind her she headed over to Gail and Ryan.
"Is she alright?" Gail quickly asked looking to her as she got to her feet.
"Her temperature is quite high and her blood pressure is very low and her oxygen level isn't great." She informed her with a sigh. "It might be an infection so we're running some blood tests to confirm it. She's asking for Christian…I got his message about him going to California…"
"I've already left a message with Taylor to call me as soon as possible." Gail told her softly.
Grace nodded. "I'll try and get hold of Christian myself. It might go down better coming from me." She looked to Gail. "Are you able to go home and get a few things for Ana?" She asked looking to her. "Odds are Ana is going to be here for a couple of days until everything is under control."
"Of course, whatever she needs." Gail told her before she looked to her. "The baby?"
"I'm going to get an ultrasound down as soon as possible." Grace told her with a soft smile. She looked to Ryan. "You go with Mrs Jones. I'll stay with Ana."
Ryan nodded to Grace before gesturing to Gail to follow him. The sooner they left the sooner they could get back.
Grace watched them go before she made her way back over to the cubicle and slipped inside. Looking over to Ana her heart sunk a little. "Oh darling girl." She whispered as she moved to her bedside and gently took her hand in hers. She looked so poorly. She knew Christian was going to panic. Grabbing her phone she text Carrick, she knew Christian would be in a state when he got here. He'd need his family. Trying Christian's number she sighed a little as it went straight to voicemail. He must still be in the air. Looking to Ana once more she gave her hand a soft squeeze. "He'll be here soon." She promised her before she sighed a little as she just watched her. They needed to find out what was wrong before Christian got there. He'd want answers and right now she had none.
