Chapter 6

A/N: This will explain what happened to Ana in Chapter 5 again no rape occurred.

Christian's POV:

I slowly pick up Ana, hoping that once we get them to the hospital everything will be okay. I can't lose them. I just can't. We drive to Seattle Grace Hospital and the drive is the longest twenty minutes of my life. It is agonizing! The minutes tick my so slowly and during that time, Ana remains unconsciousness.

I know I should have waited for emergency help to arrive, but all that was on my mind was getting Ana and my daughter medical help as soon possible. Taylor has barely stopped the car, when I jump out, with Ana in my arms, and rush through the entrance of the hospital's ER. As I enter, my knees buckle.

"Help! I need help! She's hurt and bleeding badly!

As I scream, a nurse and doctor come running. They grab Ana from my arms and place her on a gurney, racing her down the hallway, they leave me in shock on the hospital ER lobby floor. I am in such shock that I don't even feel when someone places their hand on my shoulder. I jerk away from the contact then look up and see my mother, which is strange because we were going to my parents' house for dinner but, then Jack Hyde happened. My mother sees the confused look on my face.

"I got called in on emergency case. I was about to call you and cancel dinner. Christian, you're covered in blood. What happened?"

"It's not mine. It's Ana's".

"Ana? Oh, God! What happened? Is she okay? Is the baby okay?"

"You knew about the baby?"

"Yes, of course I know. I also know how sick Ana is."

Christian couldn't believe that his mother knew about the baby and Ana's illness before he did, but, he would deal with that later. Right now, Ana just needed to survive.

"Christian, what happened?"

"Ana was attacked by another editor tonight. I found her on the floor of her office, knocked out, bleeding from a head wound, and blood was coming from under her, as well.

"Oh, God."

"I'm so scared he may have raped her, or worse, caused trauma to our daughter. There was so much blood."

Grace takes Christian in her arms and she just holds him as if he was still a child, even though, as a child, she could barely come near him.

"Shh, Christian, everything will be okay, you'll see."

My mother leads me over to a waiting room chair and sits me down.

"Christian, I promise you Ana and the baby will be okay, and whatever happens, we're your family and we will help you anyway we can."

I just take in my mother's words and hope everything will truly be alright. We sit there in silence, waiting for some type of update. Finally, we see Dr. Greene coming toward us. I jump from my seat, hoping for any news. She stops in front of us with a look of sympathy.

"Hello, Christian, Grace."

"What's going on, Dr. Greene? How's Ana and my daughter?"

"Christian, it doesn't look good. When Ana came in, she was bleeding heavily. We determined the attack on Ana caused a placental abruption, and we need to do an emergency c-section to save both their lives."

"Dr. Greene, I want you to do whatever you have to do to save Ana and our daughter. But, I can't give you the authority to go ahead, and I can't make Ana's medical decisions for her."

"Christian, then I need you call who does, because every minute that passes increases our chances of losing both of them.

My mother turns to me, "Christian call Ray now." Without hesitation, I whip out my phone and call Ana's father, hoping he'll answer and isn't on shift at the moment. After the second ring, he finally picks up.

"Ray Steele."

"Ray, it's Christian Grey."

"Christian, how are you? How's my Annie?"

"Ray, that's why I'm calling. Ana needs an emergency c-section and the doctor is ready to perform one right away."

"Oh, God, Christian what happened? Of course, do whatever needs to be done to save both of them, Christian."

"Thank you, Ray."

"I'll be on the next flight to Seattle."

"Okay. I'll send Taylor to get you from the airport, because I'm not leaving the hospital until I know they are both okay."

"Of course, Christian."

We hang up without saying goodbye, and I turn to Dr. Greene.

"Ray Steel told me to do whatever needs to be done to save them both."

Dr. Greene nods and heads back to Ana. I sit and wait for news, hoping I was able to save them both. I wait and pray that I made the right decision for my family. I pace the waiting room, wishing I could be there with Ana for the birth of our daughter and that I could assure her everything would be fine. I wish I had control over what was going on around me at the moment. Just as I make another lap around the waiting room, I hear someone scream my name.

"Christian."

I stop dead in my tracks and turn around to the frantic voice and come face to face with Raymond Steel.

Ray's POV:

When I get the phone call from Christian that my Annie's in the hospital my first thoughts are, "Am I losing her? Is the cancer getting worse and progressing? Is my granddaughter okay?" After giving Christian the okay to do whatever was medically necessary to save them both, I was on the next flight to Seattle. The flight was nerve wracking and torture because of three hours of being unable to get an update on Ana's status. My heart wanted to leave my chest.

When we finally land Seattle, I grab my carry on, which is the only bag I brought with me in my haste to get to my daughter. I finally see Christian's security guy, Taylor, waiting for me, then I realize Taylor is my old army buddy, Jason Taylor.

"Jason."

He turns to me with a look of shock.

"Ray."

Without saying anything more, we rush out to a black SUV and pull away from the airport. We ride in a tense silence as we head to the hospital, both of us unsure what to say. We arrive at the hospital and I've jumped out of the car and headed for the entrance before Jason has time to fully park the car. I rush inside and spot Christian pacing the waiting room. I yell his name to get his attention he stops mid pace and stares at me, and I race up to him.

"Christian, what's happening? Are they okay?"

I look at Christian and just see a young man scared for his family. My heart goes out to him because we both need Ana and the baby to survive. I try again to get him to answer me.

"Christian, can you tell me what happened?" I see him take a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Ray, Ana was attacked by a co-worker tonight. I was going to pick her up for dinner at my parents' house. When I saw him leaving the building with a smug look on his face, I got worried because Ana mentioned to me yesterday, when I was at SIP for a business meeting, how Jack Hyde was overly friendly with her. That had me worried for Ana's safety. I had planned on firing him the moment the merger took effect. But, anyway back to last night, so I saw him leaving the building and I got worried about Ana and what was keeping her, so I went inside and found Ana unconscious on her office floor. I was afraid he had raped her because there was so much blood under her. My only thought was getting them to the hospital as fast as humanly possible."

"Thank God you were there for both of them. So why the c-section?"

"Because of the trauma of Jack's attack. It caused a placental abruption, which is a tearing of the placenta away from the uterus and can cause severe bleeding and a loss of oxygen to the baby, which could mean her death. Dr. Greene has to do an emergency c-section to save them both.

"Christian, trust me, you saved them both and, for that, I'm grateful. Annie is my life."

"I just hope the decision I made was the right one."

"You did, trust me."

"I'm so worried about both of them, Ray."

"They will both be fine. Have a little faith, Christian."

I sit in silence with Christian as we wait for news on the woman we both love, one as daughter, and one as a soul mate.
