Since yesterday i got so many wonderful reviews I decided update. Thank you all so much!Hope you like it. Should be back Monday with more.
ANA:
Oct 1st.
I'm 37 weeks and 3 days today. I can't wait to have this baby, just so I can see my feet again. I get out of bed and stretch when Christian comes out of the bathroom. He's wearing a gray suit with matching tie. He has a huge presentation for his merger and acquisition class. He's been working relentlessly on it the last couple of weeks.
He walks over to me and gives me a kiss, then bends down to kiss my belly. "You be good for your mommy buddy." Christian is given a kick in acknowledgement. "Good boy." He kisses my belly and me again. "I love you baby. I shouldn't be too late today. I might stay a little behind to talk to Professor Ryan, but then be home."
"Ok we'll I'll be here. Good luck with your presentation." I follow him out to the front door.
"Oh before I forget, Ros might come over later so we can discuss Greenfield Tech." With one final kiss he opens the door. "Love ya babes."
"Love you too." I close the door behind me.
A few hours later I'm sitting at my desk, putting the finishing touches on my assignments. I decided that I'm hungry and go to the kitchen to get something to eat. All of a sudden, I feel this gush of water between my legs. Crap I just peed my pants.
I hastily walk to the bathroom, and a sharp pain goes across my belly, it last about a minute and it's gone. After I go to the bathroom and clean myself up, I notice I didn't pee myself, but my water broke. I get changed and call the doctor and tell her what happened.
Dr. Winters wants me to head to the hospital now, since my water broke I'm at risk of an infection. I pack a hospital bag, which I was going to do this weekend, and try and call Christian.
All his calls go to voicemail. I guess he turned his phone off for his presentation. I'm somewhat ticked because he promised to always have it on him, in case something happens. Figures today would the day he turns it off.
I have another contraction, I would say it's been about 15 minutes or so. Since I can't really drive myself, I head over to Maddie's apartment and knock on the door. I'm hoping she is home today. After a minute of knocking Maddie comes to the door donned in her pj's and messy bed hair.
"Hey Ana, you ok?" She rubs her eyes.
"I'm in labor and my water broke about a half hour ago. I can't get a hold of Christian. Do you think you could drive me to the hospital?"
"Yes of course sweetie. Let me get dressed real quick."
"Thank you, I know you probably just got off work."
"It's ok Ana. I got home at 9 last night and have tonight off. I've had plenty of sleep. Sit down, I'll be right back." She rushed to her bedroom to get dressed.
I try calling Christian again, still nothing. I send a text telling him Maddie is taking me to the hospital and to meet me there. Maddie comes back out dressed in yoga pants and a blue t-shirt. She grabs her keys and purse off the end table. We stop back at my apartment to grab my bag and head off to Boston Gen.
On the way there I try calling Ros to see if she can find Christian. "Hey Ana. What's up?" She greets me.
"Hey, Ros. I was wondering if you've seen Christian or know where he is?"
"I haven't seen him since class this morning. Is everything ok?"
"Umm…kind of…not really." I chuckle.
"Spit it out little one" I can hear her smile over the phone. I've grown really close to Ros. She's a spit fire. I love that she always says what's on her mind, and doesn't take shit from Christian.
"I'm in labor and I'm headed to the hospital. His phone is off. So if you see him can you rely the message?"
"Oh crap really? Aren't you early?"
"Yeah, a little less than 3 weeks. But this little boy has a mind of his own."
"Sounds like his father." I giggle. "If I see him I'll let him know. You know I'll go stand outside his last class. He'll be there honey."
"Thank you, Ros."
"No problem little one. You just take care of yourself and bring that little one into the world safety and I'll handle getting Christian there. I look forward to meeting him."
We hang up and Maddie and I arrive to the hospital. We go straight to labor and delivery to check in. My room is ready and they start to hook me up to all the monitors. A nurse comes in to check my cervix and tells me I'm only dilated to 3, so it's going to be awhile.
Maddie made it clear that she wasn't going anywhere till this baby was born. I'm so glad she's here. She's keeping me laughing telling me stories of her crazy patients while we watch "Stories of the ER."
An hour later the door burst open and Christian comes stumbling in. His tie is lose around his next and his jacket is missing. He rushes to my side.
"Baby?" He checks me over before kissing me all over my face. "I'm so sorry baby. Ros found me and yelled at me about my phone." He laughs and shakes his head at the thought. "I came right away. Sorry it took so long. How are you doing?"
"Breathe honey." I place my hand on his cheek.
"I'll leave you two alone for a bit." Maddie stands up and exits the room.
"I'm ok. I'm only dilated to 3 so it's going to be a long night." I brush my hands through his hair.
"Did they say anything about you being early? Is he ok?"
"Yeah Dr. Winters said it's a good chance he'll be ok. But we will just have to wait and see."
"I love you so much Anastasia"
"I love you too Christian."
He leans over and kisses me pouring all his love into it. We're so engrossed with each other, we didn't hear Maddie come back in.
"Ok you two I don't need to see how you made the baby. Why don't you guys have this one first before you start working on the next?" She drops back in the seat next to me. Christian separates himself from me.
"Hey Maddie, thank you for getting Ana here."
"No problem. I'm glad I was home."
Christian:
4 o clock Oct. 1st.
4 hours go by and a nurse checked Ana's cervix again and she was only at 4 centimeters. Ana isn't any closer to delivering. Ana and Maddie are resting now, so I decided to go into the hall and call my parents.
"Hello?" My mother answers.
"Hey Mom."
"Oh Christian it's so good to hear from you. I was going to call you later tonight. How is Ana doing?"
"Well that's why I'm calling. Ana's water broke this morning and she's been in labor for over 5 hours now."
MY mom squeals. "CARRY! Come here!" She yells in the phone trying to get my dad's attention. I pull the phone back from my ear. "Ana's in the hospital having the baby…" She tells my dad. "How's she feeling?"
"She's in some pain, but she's resting now."
"Oh that's good. What about you son? How are you doing?"
"I'm excited and a little nervous. It's going to be so different from now on." I sigh. Really different! Dirty diapers, late night feedings, crying, and vomit. And I'm going to have to share my woman with my son. My son. That makes me smile. I'm scared shitless, but I know he's going to be worth it.
"Yeah, but you two are really smart and you got your head on straight. I know you'll both will be able to handle what comes at you."
"Thanks mom."
"Well your dad and I are going to book the first flight out there and should be there by tomorrow."
"OK just keep me updated. Hopefully we will have this baby tonight, but it's not looking that way." Dr. Winters walks by me and enters Ana's room. "Mom I got to go, the doctor is back."
"No problem dear. See you soon."
"See you soon mom, love you." I hang up and go back into the room.
"How are you doing Ana?" Dr. Winters asks.
"I'm okay. Just waiting for him to make his great escape." She giggles.
"Well, that's what I want to talk to you about. I would like to start you on Pitocin. It will hopefully strengthen your contractions and move this along." She smiles and pats Ana's foot.
"Whatever you think is best" Ana utters and then yawns.
"Great. I'll get a nurse to hook you up and I'll be back to check on you in a few hours or so."
Dr. Winters leaves and a nurse soon follows to hook up the Pitocin.
"I called my parents while you were napping. They're hoping to get out here by tomorrow." She nods and smiles, but the smile fades as another contraction rips through her.
8pm:
Another 4 hours go by and Ana had only dilated another 2 centimeters. Dr. Winters made a comment that Ana's cervix might be too small to deliver and we should think about a C-section. Ana automatically shut down the idea and wants to deliver naturally. Dr. Winters says if it doesn't progress by early tomorrow morning it will be something we might have to do. She doesn't like to wait to deliver after 24 hours after the water has broken, because it raises the rate of infection.
With that Dr. Winters leaves to get some sleep, since we are still hours away from giving birth. But she is on call if anything happens.
"Maddie you should go home and get some sleep. I promise to call you right away when we get close." I tell Maddie, she looks wiped, but I'm glad she's been here with us.
"You sure? Ana if you need me. I'll stay."
Ana takes Maddie's hand in hers. "No go get some sleep. I have a feeling it's going to be a long while before anything happens. I think I'm going to try and get some sleep too."
"Ok" She says reluctantly. "Promise to call me as soon as she reaches 9 centimeters. You got it?" She points her finger at me.
"Yes ma'am." I salute.
"Stop with the ma'am crap." She smacks my arm, then leans over and hugs Ana. She goes to shake my hand, but I pull her into a hug.
"Thanks again for being here Maddie."
"No problem Grey. Get some rest. You're going to be mommy and daddy soon!"
She leaves and I go sit down next to Ana. She has tears in her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"You hugged Maddie. I'm just so glad to see it. I wasn't sure if that would ever happen."
I smile at her and kiss her hand. "It's all thanks to you baby. Plus Maddie has been a great friend to us. In this short amount of time, she's almost family." Her outrageous dessert make her instant family in my book.
"I know it just doesn't feel that long ago that I couldn't even do this." She spreads her fingers along my chest.
I smile, we have come a long way. I remember the first time she touched me. The first time I told her I loved her.
Flashback:
I'm waiting for Ana outside her house. We have been together for 2 months now. Tonight we are going to Danny's for the entire weekend. He's throwing a party and he's letting Ana, Kate, Jenny, John, and I spend the night. Kate and Danny have been hooking up for a while, but refuse to make it official.
I haven't seen Ana in 4 days, she had to go to LA with her mom for her grandmother's funeral. Ana said she wasn't to upset about it because she wasn't really close to her, only seen her a few times her whole life. Something about her mom not getting along with her, but she doesn't know the whole story.
I see Ana and she comes running out of the house at full speed. She's wearing a pale pink summer dress. It shows off her killer legs and is just long enough to cover her butt. If I wasn't so turned on I would make her change. Not that she would. Her wavy brown hair is blowing in the wind, she looks like an angel.
She drops her bag, and I flinch slightly when she jumps in my arms. She wraps her legs around my waist and throws her hands in my hair. Ana realizes what she did and tries to get down, but I hold onto her tighter.
"It's ok baby." I mummer against her lips and plunge my tongue into her mouth. I have missed her these last 4 days I don't know how I survived not being able to kiss her this long. I can feel the heat between her legs on my stomach. This is the first time we've ever held each other this close. She's always respected my "no touch rule." I feel no burning and no pain, as her breast touch my chest. Actually the feeling is pure bliss.
Before Ana had left I finally told her what happened before I was adopted by the Grey's. How my mother was a crack whore, and her pimp took great joy in burning me with cigarettes. Then, how my mom died when I was 4 and I was left with her body for days before anybody found me. Grace saved me and then I was adopted by the Grey's. I told her how I didn't talk, till they adopted Mia and until I met her I survived from nightmares. I still get them once in a while, but now they are far and few in between. It was the first time I told anybody else about my horrid beginnings.
We finally break away from our indecent kiss and I put her down on the ground. Our faces still close to each other. I've fallen for this girl, I've fallen hard!
"I've missed you!" I tell her gently kiss her lips again.
"I've missed you too. I can't wait for this weekend."
"Me either baby. Let's get going." I slap her butt as we head to the car.
This will be the first time Ana and I will be spending the night together. Sure we've had sex countless times since we started dating, but this will be a first sleeping together. I'm looking forward to holding her while she sleeps. I just hope tonight isn't one of those nights I have a nightmare. I wouldn't want to hurt her, I've been known to get violent. However, lately my dreams have been filled with Ana- and she's usually naked. Just the way I like her.
The party is in full swing when we arrive. Danny's dad is always away on business, so every time he's away Danny has a party. He claims his dad doesn't care as long as he cleans up, the cops aren't called, and nobody gets hurt.
There's about 30 people here and as I look around the small crowd I only recognize half of them. The music is blasting through the stereo speakers and the drinks are flowing. Everyone is have a great time.
Ana and I spend a bunch of time dancing- well more like dirty dancing with each other. We also teamed up for beer pong, surprisingly Ana has good aim and we win a couple of times. Throughout the night I notice this blonde chick staring at me, she's partially eye fucking me every time I glance at her. It's pathetic.
Ana gets pulled away to go talk to some of the girls on the cheer team and I decided to go gab another beer from the kitchen. It would be just my luck that the blonde girl is there too. Blondie is wearing a tank top that's two sizes two small and shows way to much cleavage and a pair of tight jean shorts. She's a good looking don't get me wrong, but nobody is hotter than my Ana.
I grab a beer from the fridge when she approaches me. "I'm Brittney."
And right now I could curse my mother for showing me manners. "Christian" I say sharply.
"I saw you dancing with that little mousy girl. Thought maybe you would like to try those dance moves with me? Even better you could show me between the sheets" She tries to touch my arm but I back away.
"No thanks. I only do that with my girlfriend." I grit out.
"Oh please! There's no way that little girl could satisfy you. We won't even have to tell her." She goes to reach up and touch my chest. I jump back, and about to lose my shit when…
"DON'T TOUCH HIM!" Ana shouts behind me. I turn around and smile at her. She comes up to me and puts her arm around my waist.
"Who are you?" The blonde tramp bites out, giving Ana a dirty look.
"His girlfriend. And I would appreciate you keeping your hands to yourself."
"What are you afraid of? That I might show him what being with a real woman is like?"
"Hardly. He already knows what a real woman is like. That's why he's dating me. Right babe?" Ana looks up at me and bats her eyelashes. She is so hot right now, telling this bitch who is in charge. It's making my dick hard, and using all my self-control not to take her right now.
"Oh that is so right baby." I nuzzle my nose in her hair. Oh god, she smells so good.
"That's not what he was saying when he was asking me to go upstairs with him." The tramp smirks. Trying her best to rile Ana up.
"I think it looked like he was trying to get away from the blood sucking vermin trying to leach on him." Blondies' smirk fades. "Oh, and by the way you have something in your teeth." Ana takes her finger and points to her tooth. "Right there." Ana sneers and the blonde tramp runs off with her tail between her legs.
I spin Ana around and enclose her in my arms. "That was hot! Thank you for having my back."
"Always!" She reaches up and kisses me.
"Wanna take a walk with me?"
"I would love too…" I take her hand and lead her outside. We walk to the dock, and I wrap my arms around her and kiss her.
"I want to try something."
"We're not having sex out here Grey." She raised her eyebrow at me.
I laugh at her, but I like the idea. "No, baby." I grab her hand and pull it up to touch my chest, midway she pulls it away.
"Christian!" She says clearly shocked. "What are you…?" I put my fingers to her lips.
"I want to. When you jumped into my arms this afternoon. I didn't have a full on panic attack. It didn't even cross my mind till you were in my arms and I could really feel you against me. It felt amazing. And tonight when we were dancing, you were so close. I really wanted to pull you even closer. I kept thinking how nice it would have you pressed tight to me."
"But I saw you flinch."
"You were coming at me full speed. I was preparing for impact." She flushes. I grab for her hand again and put it against my chest. I release the breath I was holding. There's no pain, only a slight tingle. I then take her hand and place it under my shirt, so she's touching my bare chest. Still no pain… It feels right. I lean down and kiss her, keeping her hand on me.
"I love you Ana." I whisper. "I didn't know I could ever love someone, then you came along and turned my world upside down."
She takes her hand from my chest and for a moment I think she's rejecting me. Then she reaches to put her arms around my neck and kisses me. "I love you too Christian. You've made me the happiest girl in the world."
I pick her up and swing her around. I've never felt this good before. "Let's go upstairs and show each other how much we love each other." I wiggle my eyebrows at her.
"Oh lets." We run past everyone at the party, it seems like most have left. We head to the room Danny gave us and I lock the door. Before I know it Ana is already naked on the bed.
"Come here stud" She wiggles her finger at me in a come hither movement.
"Yes ma'am." I run and jump on the bed causing Ana to giggle. We showed each other over and over again how much we loved each other.
The next morning Danny told us he was just going to burn the sheets instead of trying to clean them.
END FLASHBACK
It's 3am now. Ana has been in labor for 17 hours. They stopped the Pitocin earlier because it was making Ana to sick and causing a spike in her blood pressure. A nurse came in a few minutes ago, looked at the monitors, and then quickly left without a word.
The doors open again and Dr. Winters comes in followed by 2 nurses. "Ana we're going to have to do a C-section. You haven't dilated past 6. It's been 17 hours and the baby is now in distress."
"Distressed?" I asked worried.
"His heart rate has slowed… it's time to get him out."
"There isn't any other way?" Ana asks starting to cry.
"I'm afraid, not."
"Ok" I grab Ana's hand and kiss it.
"It'll be ok baby."
"Nurse Morgan can you please page the anesthesiologist. The OR is prepped, we're going to move you there now." The nurses start taking all the monitors off Ana and one nurse hands me a pair of scrubs.
"Sir, you'll need to change into these to go in the OR. Wait outside the corridor and we will grab you when we are ready."
I get dressed and wait outside the OR. What seems like forever a nurse comes and grabs me. Ana is laying on the table with a sheet in front of her face, blocking her view. I go sit by her head. I lean down and kiss her forehead.
"I'm scared." Ana looks at me.
"No baby don't be scared. You're my strong Ana. It'll be ok. We're going to meet our son really soon." I take her hand squeeze it.
"I love you." She whispers
"Oh Ana I love you. So, so much."
"Let's get started. You both ready to meet baby Grey?" Dr. Winters interrupts us.
"YES!" We both say. The doctor and nurses get to work and I can't help but look over the screen. I blanch when I see what they're doing. But it's like a car crash and I can't stop looking. I see them pull and push Ana's stomach and then grab my son out. His piercing scream fills the room. It's the most wonderful sound in the world. He's a little purple and pink and covered in goo. They cut the cord and wrap him in a blanket.
"What's his Apgar?"
"Apgar is 9."
One of the nurses comes over with the baby. "Can I see him?" Ana asks.
She smiles and puts our boy next to Ana's head so she can kiss him. "You did a good job Ana. He's perfect." I feel myself wanting to cry.
After we said our 'hellos' the nurse carries him over to the warmer. "We are going to take him to the nursery and clean him up. Mr. Grey you can follow us. They're going to finish stitching Mrs. Grey then take her to recovery, where you can join her."
"Go with our son Christian. I'm ok." She must have saw the worry on my face, because I really didn't want to leave her.
"I'll be back with you soon…" I lean down and kiss her. "Mrs. Grey." I whisper. I really can't wait to make her my wife.
I leave the room to follow the nurses to the nursery. They look him over, weigh him, measure him and clean him all up. They told me his lungs look good, and he doesn't need any NICU time. They let me hold him. I think my heart just grew 3 sizes. Just looking at this perfect tiny boy makes my heart swell.
An hour later Ana is back in her room. She was able to breastfeed for a little bit while in recovery. It's almost 6am now. Shit! I forgot to call Maddie. Ana is now passed out and the baby is sleeping in the bassinet next to the bed. I'm glad she is finally resting.
I call Maddie to tell her the baby was born and that we didn't have time to call because she was rushed into the OR for a C-section. She only gave me a little grief, but understood. She told me she'll stop by later and let us get some sleep.
Yeah, sleep sounds good right now. I lay down on the pull out bed in the room. I first decide to mass text everyone.
*****Theodore Raymond Grey
Born at 3:33am on Oct 2nd.
7lbs 9oz 21 inches
Mom and baby are doing well*****
I attach a picture and silence my phone, so try and get some sleep. However sleep doesn't come for long. The nurse is in almost every hour or two to check Ana's pain and blood pressure. Also to wake Teddy and try to feed him. I guess there's no rest for the wicked.
At noon my parents have arrived along with Mia. Maddie showed up a hour before and has been hogging Teddy since she got here. Ana has been asleep since then.
"Let me see my grandson..." My mom is so happy she's been smiling since she walked in. Her face has to hurt. Maddie hands Teddy over to my mom.
"Oh my goodness, he looks just like you Christian."
I'm beaming. It makes me proud. I tell them about the C-section and everything that has happened since I last talked to them. My parents are going to stay in Boston for a couple of weeks to help with the baby. We'll need all the help we can get.
Elliot and Kate arrive 2 days later to visit. They're going to stay for a couple of days, but have to get back for school.
Ana stays in the hospital for 3 days before we could go home. Thankfully, she isn't having too much pain from the surgery.
The only downfall of having a baby is the 6 week wait till I can be inside Ana again. My mom overheard me talking to Ana about it and she told me to get over it. Ana laughed, while I pouted. When she left the room, Ana turned to me and in all seriousness said "My mouth still works." And then she winks before taking Teddy to his room. Have I ever told you how much I love that woman!
A/N: I used some of the birth scene from Fifty shade freed, by E.L James. But some was also from my own experience. I hope you enjoyed meeting Teddy and also the little flashback. I only have one chapter left of them in college. I told you it would be quick. But there's a reason. Thanks for everyone's support.
