A/N: Thank you for the response, I'm glad you all like it. And to the question if they had the same past. Yes and no. Ana had the same, except that she also met Madeline. Christian's is mostly the same, but I'll reveal what went different in upcoming chapters.
Chapter 2
(Ana's POV)
I was confused and frustrated once I entered our apartment. Who was this man? I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before, but I couldn't put my finger on it. He didn't seem like someone who always goes grocery shopping and I'm sure that was his first time in there. He had no clue and I could see he was irritated by all the things in the store. I have to admit that made him even more attractive. It's nice to know that people like him can also get irritated. And it's simply hilarious that he felt that way by doing such an easy task.
And I couldn't put my finger on why I felt so super attracted to him. I've never felt this way before! Yeah men walked in and out of my life and maybe there were a few that were interested in me or wanted more than friendship, but I never wanted to. Now suddenly I make eye contact with a stranger and I immediately want him? I surely have to talk to Kate and Maddie about it.
Speaking of..
''Where is Maddie? She should be here by now.'' I frowned looking at the clock. Jeez how long was I at the store? It felt like 5 minutes, yet I apparently was away for 45 minutes.
''I don't know. I called her three times. That's so unusual for her.'' Kate said, getting slightly worried.
Suddenly the door burst open and in the door frame stood no other than Madeline Wright. Our best friend. She was totally wet from the rain outside. But it wasn't that which draw my attention. It was her face expression.
She looked horrified, yet calm. How the hell can you combine these two emotions?
''Oh Lord, Maddie are you alright?'' Kate asked as she hurried over her. She grabbed her shoulders, but Madeline did not reply. She just stared blankly past Kate.
And I couldn't move from my spot. What was she thinking about? Never in my life have I seen her this way.
''You need to take her. Please take her.'' Madeline said a bit rushed and anxious.
''What are you talking about?'' Kate asked confused. Madeline took a few steps back and disappeared for a short moment. I was shocked to see with what she returned with.
''Please I can't keep her, he'll find them.'' Madeline begged us.
In her hands was a newborn baby. The baby seemed calm and asleep in Maddie's arms.
''You were pregnant? When? How? And why can't you keep her?.'' Kate bombarded her with questions. These were all questions I wanted to ask her myself. But there was something else on my mind. She said 'them' and not just 'her'.
''I promise I'll explain it to you soon, but I have no time. He's already looking for me and if he finds out…'' Madeline's voice broke. I quickly rushed to her side and started patting her back.
''Shh Maddie, you know you can tell us everything right?'' I told her softly, trying to calm her down. Her breathing became a bit more regular.
''I know and I promise I will tell you. But for now I need to go before he finds me and them.''
''Okay wait, you keep saying 'them'. I can only see one baby.'' Kate asked. Thanks Kate.
''My baby boy, Alyvia's twin brother, he… he just looks too much like his father. He would figure it out in a second since he knows you two, I was too stupid and showed him a picture. He'd add 1 and 1 in a second once he sees Christopher with you. There are letters in his basket, they'll explain most of it. I promise I'll come back in a few months and I'm so so sorry that I can't tell you more, but it's for all of our safety. Please will you keep her?'' Madeline asked, full of hope and desperation.
Even when we were still not done studying, there was no way I was going to say no to her. She was our friend and she surely seemed frightened and desperate. Not keeping this baby would mean betraying her. She needed us.
''Of course we will.'' I answered, taking the little baby boy out of her arms. He was definitely the cutest little baby I have ever seen.
''Their father, Jack Hyde, if she shows up here, tell him you adopted this baby. He knows I was pregnant with twins, which is why I had to split the babies up. I will try my best and keep him from this state.. Or America. '' Madeline said, swallowing. She looked sadly at her baby girl, who was still asleep in my arms.
It made my heart tear apart. To see her looking at her baby. I'm sure this baby was barely a few days, if not hours old. And judging from Madeline's face, I'd say she loves them very much. I know how devoted she was when it came to children. She saved so many children's lives. The number is uncountable.
''I love you too.'' Madeline whispered, giving us each a quick kiss on or cheek. Then she brushed her daughter's forehead and also gave her a kiss. Before we could reply anything, Madeline was already out of the house, leaving us with a newborn baby.
''Holy crap Ana can you believe this? She just left us with a baby! A baby!'' Kate gasped. I was staring at the girl in my arms. She indeed looked a lot like her mother, but I got why she gave her to us.
If it's really true that the father is looking for them, and if her other baby looks like him, then it only makes sense that she gave us the girl. I could pass as her mother, since Maddie and I looked pretty similar. We used to tease each other that we could be sisters, separated at birth.
''I guess so.'' I murmured. ''She said Alyvia right? Such a pretty name for such a pretty girl.'' I cooed, softly stroking Alyvia's cheek.
Meanwhile at the Heathman…
''Taylor!'' I screamed. My hands were balled into a fist and I was furiously looking at the baby in front of me. Someone had put a baby into my bedroom. I wasn't even sure how that was possible.
''Yes, Sir.'' Taylor replied as he appeared. His eyes widened after he spotted the baby on the floor.
''This isn't by any chance your baby is it?'' I asked, my lips formed into a thin line.
''No, Sir. But I will check the cameras to see who entered. I can't explain how someone got in here.'' Taylor replied. I nodded, not taking my eyes off. He disappeared and I took a step closer to the baby, bending down.
It was a little baby boy that neither looked like me nor did he look like Taylor. For a second my heart stopped. There could only be one explanation for this. One of my subs must have gotten pregnant with a baby. But that couldn't be. No. I was always strict with that.
Plus the last time I had a sub is two years ago. This baby was definitely a newborn. While I stared at the baby, I suddenly noticed a letter at the back of his head. I gently pulled it out and opened it.
Dear Christian,
For years I've been trying to find you. Now I did and I have to leave again. The baby you see in the basket is mine. I had to go and leave him and his sister behind, because keeping them would bring them into severe danger, perhaps even death. You're my brother and while his sister is with my friends, I had to leave my baby boy with you. He is a copy of his father and therefore he would find him immediately. I know you have the power to keep him safe.
Please, I know we haven't spoken in decades and I promise I'll explain to you everything once I know how to handle their father. For now it's too dangerous for me to be here. I wish I could have met you, but you weren't there.
Don't let anything harm him. Keep him safe. You couldn't safe me, so safe your nephew now.
In his bag are more letters that will tell you as much as you need to know for now.
In Love,
You sister Madeline.
I stared in shock at the letter. My sister was alive. My sister that I have been searching for so long. How could I not find her when she was able to find me? And now she had to run and leave her kids? She was in danger.
My baby sister was in danger and she was right. I didn't safe her from the pimp back then.
But I will safe her baby and I will safe her.
''Taylor!'' I shouted. He rushed into the room and I gave him instructions.
Someone was messing with her and I surely wasn't going to let that happen.
Sudden change of events huh? The most burning questions will be answered in the next chapter. The others will remain a secret for now. Next chapter will also include more of Ana/Christian and guess how that meeting will go? Hope you liked the chapter, if you did hit the review button and tell me what you thought :) Until the next time
