Christian:
After four days in the hospital Ana and Phoebe were able to finally come home. In order to take Phoebe home we had to buy a biliblanket. That way she can get the treatment she needs at home. We will just have to take her to the doctors every couple of days to check her levels.
Other than that we have a perfectly healthy baby girl. She is so much more daintier and smaller than Teddy was. She's already got me wrapped around her little finger.
Nathan and I took a DNA test and it proved that he was my father. I told him I would be happy to meet him for dinner after we got Phoebe home so we could talk.
After hours of conversation with Ana I decided that I wanted to really get to know him. So tomorrow night I will be meeting with him at the Mile High Club.
Ana is nestled on the couch breastfeeding Phoebe. She's absolutely exhausted, trying to get any sleep in the hospital was impossible. The nurses I think came in every two hours to check on Ana and the baby, then had to wake to feed. You would think they would let new mom's get some sleep.
I notice Teddy sitting quietly in the corner, with a frown mirroring his face. I go over to him and kneel down, grabbing one of his toy trucks.
"What's wrong little man?"
"I wanna sit on mommy's lap, but fefe is there. She's always there now." He pouts. I look over at Ana and see the sadness in her eyes.
"I know it's going to take sometime getting used to your sister being here. And it's going to seem like we're giving all our attention to her. She's little, just like you were once and we have to make sure she's ok. But, it doesn't mean you can't ask us to play or hang out with. You might need to wait for a minute, but we will be more than happy to hang out with you Tedster."
"Can you play with me now?" He asks still upset.
"I would be more then happy too. What do you want to play?"
"Superheros!" He shouts. And there's my rambunctious little boy.
I took the whole month off to be with them. My mom is planning to stop by a help on her days off. Also I'm sure everyone else will be around, especially the girls. I will definitely be aware to make sure I make time for Teddy. Maybe us guys can take him to a football game soon.
"Ok, let's go get our capes."
The next evening I'm getting ready to go meet Nathan at the Mile High Club. Phoebe is sleeping soundly in her bassinet, next to the bed. Teddy is cuddled into Ana's side while she reads him a book.
"Where you going daddy?" Teddy asks me while I put on my tie.
"You remember Nathan?" He nods. "Well, we're going to meet so we can talk. We have a lot of catching up to do. Then tomorrow we are going to a Seahawks game."
As soon as the idea popped in my head I made plans for all the guys to go to the game. I mean I do have this huge private box that needs to be used.
"YAY!" He exclaims quite loudly that I'm afraid he woke Phoebe, but she's still out. I guess after 8 months of hearing her brother at all kinds of volumes she's probably immune to it.
I lean over and kiss Ana and then the top of Teddy's hair. "I'll be back in a couple of hours. And you little man better be in bed."
"No. I stay with mommy." He wraps his arms around her tight. I chuckle at him. Every time Ana is free of Phoebe he clings to her. Such a little momma's boy. Not that I blame him.
I enter the Mile High Club and Nathan is already in the VIP area waiting for me. He stands up to greet me and we shake hands.
"How are you doing Christian? How's that baby?"
"I'm doing well and so is Phoebe." I tell him as we sit down.
"And Ana and Teddy?"
"Both doing good. Teddy has a little bit of jealousy going on but other then that he is good. He's really looking forward to the football game tomorrow."
"Yes, that should be fun. Thank you again for inviting me." His smile is genuine.
"No problem, I think it would be good for you to really meet everyone."
The waiter comes over and instead of wine I decide to go for the harder stuff. We order our dinner and get down to the nitty gritty of knowing each other. I know I was going to need the whisky to get through hearing about my birth mom and telling him what happened to me.
Hours went by as the conversation flowed. He told me all about how he met Ella to how she just disappeared. And I shared what happened to me during my first 4 years of life.
"I wish I had known about you." I can see the unshed tears in his eyes as I told him. "I would of never let that happen."
"And I believe that. But Ana tells me that these things happened for a reason. I'm not saying life wouldn't of been good if you were a part of it. If you could have rescued Ella from ever having to go to the streets. But, I like the life I have now. If the Grey's didn't adopted me I can't say that I would have everything that I do have."
"You might be very right. I'm very happy for you."
Soon enough the conversation turns to less morbid and we are now pretty wasted. We're laughing and having a good time like we've known each other for years. He needs to get back to Texas soon, to take care of his business. I made a promise that we could come in see him soon and he would also come up as much as he could. Teddy would love to see all the cows and horses. Shoot, he may never want to leave after he does.
It's after midnight when we stumble out of the club. We make our way to the garage where Taylor is waiting for us. I can see the smile on his face, shaking his head at us.
"Jason, my good man." I slur. "Take us home."
Jason takes us back to my house. I told Nathan to stay with us since we're going to the game tomorrow and we will get his car tomorrow. I believe I told him this when I was still sober enough to think straight.
Ah well, we'll figure it out in the morning.
The house is dark and quiet when we return. "Shhh…" I tell him, but I believe it was louder than I wanted it to be and start laughing. I stumble into the coffee table and it loudly swipes against the floor.
"Shit." How come when you try to be quiet, you seem to make the most noise?
Jason shows Nathan to one of the guest rooms and I somehow find the way to my bedroom.
I find Ana asleep and Phoebe is sleeping soundly in the bassinet beside her. I guess she convinced Teddy to go to his own bed tonight. He's such a little bed hog. I woke up this morning to a tiny foot in my face. I shred my clothes and hop into bed. I pull Ana to me.
She turns in my arms and squints her eyes at me. "Hey" She whispers. "By the smell of you I would say you had a good time."
"Umm..." I brush my lips against hers. "I did. I surprised myself to say I actually like him."
"I told you." God, I know I should let her sleep and it's all the alcohol in my system, but I just want to kiss her. After sharing everything about my past it's so nice to remember my present and future.
I crash my lips to her and kiss her hard. She moans against me, gripping my hair tight. "You're so beautiful baby. I'm so lucky to have you." I tell her, my eyes getting heavy.
"Sleep, baby." She whispers to me. I close my eyes and I'm out like a light.
ANA:
It's 5am and I'm sitting up feeding Phoebe as my husband snores loudly next to me. I don't know what it is after he's been drinking that causes him to snore like a freight train. I'm glad to know that he was able to relax and really get to talk to Nathan.
The girls are coming over today, while the guys are at the game. Phoebe has been a very quiet baby so far. She needs to eat every 3 hours on the dot, but other then that right now she sleeps for the most part. Although, she's only 7 days old now, so I can't get my hopes up that it stays this way.
I finish feeding her and lay her back down on top of her biliblanket. I lay back down and Christian is mumbling in his sleep. His arm reaches out for me.
"Ana... " He mumbles still asleep. "Baby… I love you…."
Aww, he's such a romantic even in his sleep. I snuggle myself in his arms.
"God, I want that tight pussy…." He mumbles again. Well, there went the romance. I laugh. I can only imagine what this man is dreaming about. He pulls me closer and even in his sleep nuzzles my breast.
After being molested by my sleeping husband, he finally relaxes and I fall back to sleep.
*WAH WAH*
I open my eyes and try to wiggle out of my husband's tight grip. But it's useless.
"Christian?" I nudge him. He just moans and Phoebe's screams get louder. How is that not waking him up?
"Christian?" I shout.
Finally he startles awake, almost falling off the bed. I can't help but laugh at him.
"Good morning sunshine." I say before getting up to grab the baby.
"Do you have to yell?" He says holding his head.
"You had me trapped down. So yes I did. Plus it's after 8 and everyone should be here in the next couple hours. And I'm sure Teddy will be awake soon."
"UGH." He grabs the pillow and puts in over his head.
"Aww… is someone hung over?" I tease him.
"Ana…" He moans.
"I'll get you some aspirin and water when I'm done with feeding the baby."
A half hour later, I walk to the kitchen to grab Mr. Cranky his stuff. At the breakfast bar Nathan is nursing a coffee.
"Well, you look a lot more put together then Christian." I tell him, grabbing the aspirin from the cabinet.
"I didn't drink as much, and I know how to handle my liquor a lot better." He laughs. "I'm really glad we got a chance to talk. I just hate that I couldn't be there for him when he was young." He sombers.
"Well, you're here now. That's all that matters." I try to reassure him.
"Thank you, Ana."
"You're welcome. Now I'm going to give these pills to the drunk in the other room, so he'll be able to function."
Hours later the guys have left for the game. Grace, Mia, and Maddie are gathered around Phoebe while taking turns holding her. Kate has pulled me aside saying she desperately needed to talk to me.
"So? What's up Kate?" I ask her and I can tell she's nervous because she's playing with the fake lint on her shirt.
"I'm pregnant." She says in almost a silent whisper that I barely heard her.
"Congratulations?" I say questionably.
"Ana? What am I going to do? We're getting married in 5 months… I'm going to be as big as a house." She wines.
"You won't be that big." I shake my head. "What did Elliot have to say?"
"I haven't told him yet. I'm too nervous. I mean I'm only 21 and he's 24. We talked about having kids later. I just started working at Seattle Times."
"Well, coming from someone that popped out two of them by 21, I would say you guys can handle this. You can still work, you know that. And I think Elliot would be over the moon."
She looks at me like she doesn't believe me. "You think?"
"Yeah… and I think I have a cute way of telling him." I grin. I see Kate relax as I tell her my idea.
It's after 6 when the guys get home. They're all hyped up, so I'm guessing the Seahawks won. Teddy is sound asleep in Christian's arms. He's tells me he's going to lay him down. Kate is holding Phoebe as Elliot comes up to kiss her cheek.
"Do you want to hold her?" Kate asks him.
"Yeah sure." Kate places Phoebe in his arms. Kate removes the blanket that was covering her. "You're lucky you look like your mama." He stills her in baby talk.
Elliot sits down and starts talking to Phoebe about how great the Seahawks are. I can tell Kate is getting antsy. Christian comes back into the room and puts his arm around me.
"Should I be worried about you staring at my brother so intently?"
"You'll see." I pat his chest. "I hope…"
After 5 more minutes of Elliot not catching on Kate finally snaps.
"Did you see her shirt Elliot? Isn't it cute?" She asks him.
"Um.." He looks down and reads the shirt. His face turns to impassive to totally shocked.
The shirt reads "I love my Cousin."
"MIA!" He shouts.
Mia?
His slight outburst cause Phoebe to start whimpering. Christian steps up and takes her away from him.
"Sorry. I just got a shock. I didn't even know you were dating anyone Mia."
MIa look completely bewildered. "What are you talking about Elliot?"
I see Christian read Phoebe's shirt and raise an eyebrow and kind of giggle. He whispers down in my ear. "Kate?"
I nod. "Glad you have your head on straight." I roll my eyes.
"You're pregnant aren't you? I mean Phe's shirt said 'I love my cousin' I mean who else…" Then he looks at Kate. Who know has tears in her eyes. "Holy Shit!"
*Ding Ding Ding* Look who's brain just woke up.
"Kate?" She nods. The tears now falling from her eyes. Elliot stands quickly and wraps her arms around her.
"I'm sorry baby. I wasn't thinking straight. So your? I'm going to be a daddy?"
Kate nods. She seems to be at a lost for words. Elliot hoots and spins her around. "I'm so happy baby. I love you. How far along are you?"
"About 5 weeks."
"Did you hear that everyone? We're having a baby."
Everyone congratulates them. "But, really Elliot? You thought it was me?" Mia asks him.
"It didn't click that if I had a baby it would be the cousin… Sue me. I had a lot to drink today." He laughs. Sometimes I worry about that boy.
He pulls Kate back to him and kisses her again. I don't think I've ever seen him so happy.
Danny comes up and pats him on the back. "The Grey sperm conquers again. At this rate Grace you're going to have a little army of grandchildren." He laughs.
"Oh, but Danny my boy, I'm sure you can give a hand by helping." Elliot tells him. Danny turns as white as a ghost and looks at Maddie who looks the same way.
"I think we'll keep the baby making to you guys for now…" Maddie says.
Poor Maddie. I don't think it's something either of them really want. There awesome with kids. But, sometimes it's just not something a person wants. I think Danny and Maddie are two of those people. But they're great babysitters.
"I'm going to go but Phoebe down. I'll be right back." I turn to look at him, but he's already gone.
When he's not back after 5 minutes I go to check on him. I find him in our room with his head in his hands sitting on the bed.
I go to sit next to him and rub his back. "What's wrong?"
He looks up at me and I can see the sadness mirroring his handsome face. "I should of been that happy when you told me about Phoebe."
"Christian. We've been over this. You can't beat yourself up over it anymore."
"I know. But I should've just taken you in my arms and kissed you. Instead…"
"Kiss me."
"What?" He looks bewildered.
"Kiss me and show me how you really wanted to do." I brush my hand through his hair. "That way next time when I tell you we're having another baby, and mind you not for a couple more years at least. You'll have some practice."
He smiles and pulls me into my lap. "I can't show you everything that I would do… because… you know… but when I can I promise I will." He smashes his lips to mine, our tongues entwine with each other. I can feel the love pouring out of him.
He pulls away, resting his forehead on mine. "I love you Christian, and I wouldn't change a thing about what has happened in our lives. It's been nothing but perfect."
"It might be perfect now. But you do know you have to suffer another 70 to 80 years with me." He smiles.
"It wouldn't be long enough." I smile.
He kisses me again. "You're right it wouldn't be long enough. Forever wouldn't be long enough. I love you so much, baby. It's always just going to be you and me."
Sadly this is almost the end… The Epilogue is next to see where their futures take them…Sorry if this chapter seemed a little rushed, and i hope didn't disappoint anyone .But the well of ideas has dried out for this story and I would hate to drag it out for too long and murder it or leave you with an unfinished story
