"Anastasia Grey" I hear my named called by Dr. Greene's nurse.
I stand and smile at her as I make my way to the scale so she can record my weight. This is standard procedure at every doctor's appointment, and I suspect that after Christian and I conceive, I will grow to despise it even more.
Today I am here to get the test results of the full work up I had done to make sure I'm healthy and my body is ready for pregnancy. My shot ran out over 2 months ago, so I really should have already had this done before now. Things at work have been busy, so much so that I am utterly exhausted when I get home in the evenings. Things should start slowing down now since have just recently added 4 new staff members to our GP team.
Christian has been blowing up my phone since this morning. He wanted to make this appointment with me, but he and Ros had to make a last minute day trip to Portland this morning. I tried to tell him that this appointment wasn't a big deal, but I could tell that he was less than happy about missing it.
"Okay, if you will just follow me, I will take you to your room." The nurse says as she leads me to an exam room. "Doctor Greene is running a little behind today due to an emergency at the hospital earlier."
"That's fine. I don't mind waiting." I tell her. I took the rest of the day off and brought home a few manuscripts that I need to look over. Since I will have to wait, it will give me time to read over one.
After the nurse has me situated comfortably in the room, she excuses herself, letting me know that Dr. Greene will be in next.
An hour and a half later I am just finishing up the manuscript that I was working on when the door opened and Dr. Greene steps inside.
"Mrs. Grey" She smiles at me. "I'm so sorry for the wait. I see that you had some test ran, and that you opted out of your last shot. I assume that you and Mr. Grey are ready to start a family."
I take a deep breath before I respond. It's still sometimes hard for me to believe that my dream of starting a family is finally coming true. "Yes, Dr. Greene, Christian and I are finally ready to start trying for a baby."
"That's wonderful news!" She pats my knee. "Now let's take a look at these test results."
She opens her mouth to say something, but before she can say anything, we hear the booming sound of my husband in the hallway.
"I just want to know where is my wife?"
Dear Lord!
Christian's POV
This has been a day from absolute hell. It was one fuck up after another with the new company that I took over last month. I guess the upside to this is that it's in Portland, so I don't have to be gone overnight to take care of things.
I was hyped to get to go to Ana's doctor's appointment today, and then I get into the office and am greeted by Ros before I can even make it to my desk. To say that I was pissed is an understatement. I know that today was just an appointment for the test results, but I want to be with Ana every step of the way.
Since she and I finally decided that we were ready.. that I was ready, all I can think about is planting my seed in my wife. Lately it's consuming my every thought. Am I still scared? You bet your ass I am! But, it's not the kind of scared I was in the beginning. Then I was scared that I would fuck up a child, and that I would somehow pass on a defective gene. Now, I think my fears are the same as any other first time father. Will I be able to teach my child the valuable lessons in life? I know next to nothing about a baby, so will I be able to take care of him or her the way I'm supposed to? They say a mother's instincts kick in when the baby is born, does the father's also? Fuck, I need to talk to Elliot. He was the biggest ass clown around before Ava arrived. Now he's more like father of the year. We're going to their house tomorrow for Ava's birthday party. I'll try to find time to talk to him then.
"Christian, why such the rush? You rushed through the meeting, you rushed through the catered lunch, you didn't take the time to walk through the building, and then you rushed my back to the helicopter." Ros asks as I navigate Charlie Tango through the air.
"Ana has a doctor's appointment today. I was hoping to me it back in time. Hopefully I can make it before the appointment is over." I tell her.
"Doctor's appointment? Is everything okay with her?" She asks, and I know she isn't just being nosy. She and her wife Gwen both love Ana.
"Ros, what I am about to tell you goes no further that right here, you understand?" She nods and I can see the worry in her face. "I was going to talk with you soon anyway because I plan on stepping back a little and delegating more stuff to you."
"Oh, God! Please tell me that Ana isn't sick!" She says in a hushed whisper, but I still hear her.
"What? Nothing like that. It's just that Ana and I are ready to start a family. Her doctor's appointment today was for the results of some test she had done."
"A baby!" Ros all but shouts. "Oh my fuck, Christian! This is going to be awesome!"
"Yeah." Is all the response I give her because it is going to be fucking awesome!
"Can I tell Gwen? Come on, you have to let me at last tell her!" She pleads.
"Gwen and only Gwen." I agree.
I'm an hour and a half late and I hope that Ana is still at her appointment. I want to surprise her, so I call Sawyer to see if she is still there.
"Mr. Grey?" Sawyer answers.
"Sawyer, is my wife still at her appointment?"
"Yes, Sir. I just checked with the receptionist, and she said there was a delay." He explains.
"Good, I'll be there soon."
It isn't long before we pull up at the doctor's office. When I enter I see Sawyer sitting near the door, next to a woman who looks like she is seconds away from exploding. He looks uncomfortable... Better him than me. Nodding my head at him, I don't stop and make my way down the hall where the exam rooms are located. There are several rooms and it's then that I realize that I have no clue what room Ana is in.
I see a nurse coming out of one of the rooms, so I stop her, "Excuse me, can you please tell me what room Anastasia Grey is in."
She looks at me and I can see that she doesn't recognize me. It's rare that this happens, but it does happen.
"I'm sorry, Sir, but I can't give out that information."
"What? I just want to know where my wife is!" I'm getting pissed now. I did not rush here from Portland, just to be given the run around.
"Y-your wife?" I can see it finally donning on her who I am.
"Yes, my wife. Where is-" I'm stopped by one of the exam rooms opening.
"Christian, you made it!" I see the smile lighting up Ana's face.
"Always, Baby." I tell her as I lean in to give her a kiss on the mouth. "Now, what did I miss?"
Ana smiles, "Nothing, Dr. Greene was just about to discuss the test results with me."
"Yes," Dr. Greene says, gaining my attention. "I was just about to tell Ana that her recent urine and blood test have proven to be very interesting." She says and then pauses, making my heart race with fear.
"What?! Is she okay?" I bark out, making both women jump. Ana reaches out and grabs my hand to calm me, but it doesn't have the desired effect because I can feel her hands are clammy due to her own fear.
Dr. Greene smiles and what she says next turns my world upside down. "Everything is fine with Ana. It seems like you both wont have to wait very long to start that family." She turns to Ana, "Your labs show that you have elevated HCG levels. Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Grey, you're expecting!"
"Holy fuck!" It comes out in a loud whisper. I look to Ana and see that she is beaming... fucking beaming. I don't know id I have ever seen a smile that bright in all my years on this earth.
When she looks over to see my face, her smile fades and I see that she is worried about my reaction. "Christian, are- are you okay?"
"Yeah, I, um, I'm just a little bit stunned. We just started trying."
Dr. Greene interrupts me before I can express how happy I am. "Seeing as you just stopped birth control about two months ago, I am wanting to do a little further testing because your HCG levels are quite high."
Once again my heart drops to my feet. What now? Is something wrong with Ana? Is something wrong with our child? This is something that Ana has wanted for so long. Hell, this something that only in the past couple of months I have also come to want a great deal. I have never been much of a praying man, but I am willing to drop to my knees here in this Dr.'s office and pray to a higher power that my wife and our child are healthy. Please, let them be healthy.
Dr. Greene brings me out of my thoughts when she starts talking again. "I see that you are both worried, but let me assure you that I would be concerned if the levels were low. How about we start out with an ultrasound and go from there."
I watch in silence as what I assume is the ultrasound machine is wheeled into the room. I feel a tug on my hand and look over to see Ana looking at me with concern written all over her face. I squeeze her hand back and give her a reassuring kiss. I don't dare try to speak. The shock of just learning that I am going to be a father and the fear that something could be wrong is clogging my throat.
Dr. Green instructs Ana to undress from the waist down and gives her a large piece of paper to cover herself. The entire process of getting ready for the ultrasound seems to take forever, but at the same time, I feel like the room.. Hell, I feel like my world is moving at the speed of light.
"Okay, Ana, I want you to scoot your bottom to the end of the bed, and place your feet in the stirrups." Dr. Greens says as she places a condom on what looks to be some type of dildo.
Whoa, wait a fucking minute! I may not know everything there is to know about any of this shit, but do know that an ultrasound is done on the belly!
"What the fuck is that thing?" I blurt out causing Ana to shoot me a death glare for my language.
"This, Mr. Grey," She hold up the dildo to show me, "is what we use when the mother is in the early stages of her pregnancy. We will be able to see more at this point with and internal ultrasound than we would with an external one."
"Will this hurt Ana or the baby in any way?" I ask. Surly she wouldn't do anything to put a patient at risk, but that is my entire fucking world lying on that table. I have to be sure.
"No, Mr. Grey. This is perfectly safe for both."
I don't say anything, just nod my head. Sitting back, I watch as Dr. Greene inserts the wand into Ana, and I can feel the grip Ana has on my hand tighten.
"Ana, you need to relax a little." Dr. Greene tells her while rubbing Ana's knee.
"I- I'm trying. I'm just a little nervous."
I hear the shakiness in Ana's voice, so I kiss the back of her hand a lean down to whisper in her ear. Words only meant for her. "Relax, Beautiful. Everything is going to be fine. This is what we have fought so hard for. We're here. We made it. Now it's our time. Yours, mine, and our child's. Just relax and enjoy it." I feather a kiss just below her ear, and hear her blow out a breath as her body relaxes.
"Ah, there we go. Good job, Mr. Grey!" Dr. Greene praises.
"Love you" Ana mouths to me, and I give her a smile and mouth the words back to her.
"Okay hear we go. See that little flicker? That is this little one's heartbeat."
At the first sight of my child, I feel like my heart is going to explode out of my chest. And I didn't think it possible, but I feel so much love for him or her already. I look down and see that Ana has tears running down her face, and she hasn't taken her eyes off of the screen. For brief moment, I wonder if my birthmother ever felt like this about me, but I quickly push that thought away. That woman has no place in this moment. No, this moment deserves nothing but good, pure, happy thoughts. No way am I tainting this memory with her.
"I'm going to turn up the volume so we can hear the heartbeat as well." Dr. Green mummers as she presses a few buttons on the machine.
A whooshing sound fills the room, and I see Ana's body shake a little as she tries, and fails to hold in more tears. When I look back up, I see a puzzled look on Dr. Greene's face... and my stomach sinks.
"What?! Is something wrong?" I frantically ask.
"No, it's just that I am picking up another heartbeat, but it isn't the mothers." She says while moving the wand around.
I hear a surprised, but happy 'oh my' come from Ana at the same time I start to fucking loose my head. "What do you mean another heartbeat?" I ask but Dr. Greens smiles over at Ana. "What? Why are you smiling? "
"Because Mr. Grey," She points to a second tiny flicker on the screen, "this is the other heartbeat. This little one was hiding behind its sibling. Congratulations, you're having twins."
"Oh my! Twins!" Ana sobs tears of joy. I'm just glad I'm siting because this news would have literally knocked my on my ass.
"Tw-twins? We're having twins?" I ask to no one in particular. I can feel my lungs start to seize up. What the hell! I just got used to the idea of having one... one.. as in singular.
I'm starting to panic, I know I am, but when I look up to see the blinding smile on my wife's face, all of my fears seem to fade away. We've got this! Suddenly there isn't a doubt in my mind that I can do this. I can be a father of twins as long as I have Ana by my side. I look back up to the screen, and I swear I feel my fucking heart grow twice it's normal size when I see both heartbeats thumping away. Pure love! This ache in my chest is pure love and I know this feeling is only going to get stronger.
"Christian, are you okay?" Ana asks when she looks my way.
"I'm fucking fantastic." I say and give her a smile that I know rivals her own. I leans down and take her mouth with mine, not caring at all that Dr. Greens still sits a few feet away. I'm celebrating!
Dr. Greene gives us our moment before she continues. "By my measurements, you are around 7 weeks. Everything looks great, and your blood work shows that your HCG levels are perfect for twins at this stage of your pregnancy."
After Ana is dressed again, we sit in Dr. Greene's office and go over all the things we will need to know over the coming months.
"Now that I have explained things, is there any questions you have for me?" Dr. Greene asks.
"Shouldn't Ana be on bed rest since she is carrying two?" I ask, and see Ana roll her eyes. Well, that just earned her sweet little ass a smack. Wait.. Can I spank her while she's pregnant? Holy fuck, can we have sex since she's pregnant with twins?
"She is perfectly fine to continue normal activities as long as her pregnancy is healthy."
"Will intercourse hurt Ana or the babies?" I ask and hear Ana gasp.
"Heaven sakes, Christian!" I look over and Ana is blushing at my question.
"What? It's a valid question" I say and hear a mortified whisper of 'oh my' falls from Ana's lips.
"It's a valid question, right?" I ask Dr. Greene.
"Yes, and no worries Ana, it's a very popular question I get from most fathers. You can continue normal intercourse as long as the pregnancy is healthy."
"But, what's normal intercourse for us isn't what most consider normal." I inform her.
"Christian Trevelyan Grey, would you shut your mouth, please!" Ana snaps at me in a loud whisper. I have to bite my tongue to keeps from laughing at her now beet red face.
"I swear, Ana, I am not asking this to embarrass you, I just need to know the facts." I place a kiss on her forehead, tying to ease her discomfort.
"Mr. Grey, just be cautious and use common sense and you will be fine." Dr. Greene assures me. She opens her desk drawer and pulls out a piece of paper. "Here is a list of books about pregnancy that should be helpful, if you're interested."
After Ana makes her next appointment with the receptionist, we make our way back out into the parking garage with Sawyer and Taylor following us.
When we make it to the cars, I turn to both men, "Sawyer, Mrs. Grey is riding with me since we are heading home. When we get there I need to hold an emergency meeting with the both of you, as well as Gail. Taylor, call ahead and inform her of this meeting please."
I know we should keep it quiet for a few more weeks like my sister and brother did, but these three people need to know. Ana's safety has always been my number one priority, but now even more so. Gail need to know so she can adjust the meals to provide the nutrients Ana will need.
After they both have their instructions, Ana and I get in the back seat. When I look at her, she still has that blinding smile in place, and imagine that my face reflects the same. No wonder Taylor was looking at us funny. We are both smiling like crazy people.
"You happy?" I ask her in a whisper. Taylor will know soon enough. Right now, in this moment, I want it to just be about Ana, our babies, and me.
"Over the moon!" She responds as she pulls out the printed ultrasound photos. "What about you? I know this is a shock to you. How do you feel? Do you need to go in to see Flynn today?" She asks and I can tell that she is concerned about where my head is right now... So I tell her.
"Baby, I am so fucking happy right now! The initial fear that I felt was replaced with pure, all encompassing joy the minute I saw and heard out little ones for the first time." I look down at Ana's flat stomach and picture it round and full with our creations. Without thinking, I reach over and lay my hand on Ana's stomach. "I'm going to bust my ass to be the best father to these two. I promise!"
She reaches up and cups my face with her hands. "I know you will."
The rest of the ride home is spent in silence. My hand still on Ana's stomach, and Ana's head on my shoulder. Fucking perfect.
When we enter the house Gail is already waiting on us. "We can do this in my office." I inform them. I see Gail give me a funny look just before she shoots a questioning look at her husband.
"Thank you all or meeting with us." I say after they have all taken their seats. Gail, Taylor, and Sawyer on the sofa, and Ana on my lap.
"Ana and I found out today that we are expecting. She's almost two months." I pause and see that they're smiling. "But, that's not all. We found out that we are having twins." I hear a gasp from Gail and see Sawyer and Taylor's smiles have now been replace with a look of shock. That's probably the look I had on my face when I first found out too.
"What do you need done, Sir." Taylor asks, efficient as always.
"In the next coming months, we will need to start looking into hiring more security. We will need personally security for both children." I fell Ana tense a little at the thought of needing security for the babies, but it's the name of the game in the life that we lead. "Gail, We need to go over menus and adjust them to Ana's needs. If need be, I can bring on a nutritionist for the duration on the pregnancy." I can't see her, but I am sure Ana is rolling her eyes at my last statement. "I think that's everything right now. Is there any questions?"
They all shake their head in the negative, but I know Taylor will want to take more about the security aspect when we are in private.
After they offer their congratulations, they leave the room, leaving just the two of us... or I should say the four of us. Ana moves on my laps so she can curl up in my arms.
"I love you." She mummers sleepily into my chest.
"I love you, too. Sleepy?" I ask.
"Yeah, I think the excitement of the day has wore me out. Come to think of it, I have been a little tired lately. I should have know something was up. My breast are tender, and what I thought was a bout of the stomach bug a few days ago was really just side effects of the pregnancy."
That surprises me because this is the first time I am hearing about any of this. "Why haven't you told me you haven't been feeing well?"
"Because I thought all it was was a little stomach bug, nothing you needed to worry about."
"I always worry about you."
"I know. The remainder of this pregnancy should be fun." She says sarcastically, teasing me.
"You are just racking up the punishment today, Mrs. Grey." I give her a soft pinch on the ass that causes her to jump and squeal.
"No punishments, I'm with child...er, children now Mr. Grey."
"Nope, perfectly fine to spank that hot little ass of yours." I say, and she wiggles said ass on my rapidly hardening dick.
"I have been rather bad today." She moans.
"Well, then, I think we should get started on these punishments, Mrs. Grey."
Two for the price of one! I hope that y'all enjoyed this chapter.
Sorry for any mistakes.
