Happily Ever After… and then Some!
Chapter 9
A month has gone by and as I stare in the mirror I don't even recognize myself. I'm only 3 months and I look like I swallowed a watermelon! I mean I've swallowed a lot in the past month I blush thinking back on a few occasions where I was down on my knees making Christian wither to nothing by using just my mouth. I shake my head… "Yeah a lot of things but not a watermelon."
"What was that Ana?" Christian says popping his head into the bathroom.
"What? Nothing" I blush as I quickly start to brush my teeth.
"You said something about a watermelon" he says walking in to brush his teeth.
I spit and then rinse my mouth standing back I put my hands on my hips "I look like a swallowed a watermelon"
"Well I think you look just perfect. How are you and the blips doing?"
I pat my belly "We are doing great. Still no sickness." I smile and look down at my belly "and we are ganna keep it that way aren't we blips"
Christian laughs as he walks over and pulls me into a kiss laying his hands on my belly. "I love you Ana"
"I love you too Christian" I kiss him back "We have a doctor's appointment today, do you think you can make it?" I ask pouting
"What time?"
"230"
"I'll meet you there"
"Sounds good"
"Laters baby" he kisses me and walks out
"Laters"
I walk into my closet and start trying on clothes….
"NOTHING FITS!" I yell in frustration I reach into a drawer and grab out some yoga pants and a summer dress that's flowy. I grab my phone and call Kate.
"Hello Ana!"
"Kate save it.. we need to go shopping immediately!"
"What for?" she questions.
"I feel like I woke and I swallowed a watermelon last night! I seem to have blown up over night!" I whine
"Well lets meet downtown in an hour?"
"Sounds good! Meet at Escala?"
"Okay… seen you soon!"
I hang up and walk out to see Gail cleaning up the kitchen.
"Morning Gail" I sigh walking in
""Morning Ana, what's the matter dear?"
I step around the counter "This is what happened to me" I pout "I didn't expect to get so big so fast!"
She walks over and puts her hands on my belly "Dear you have twins this time, two babies taking up residence and growing, you're ganna be bigger faster than you were with Teddy" she smiles
"I know it's just sudden... Like it happened over night" I laugh
"How about some granola?" she starts grabbing a bowl out for me and smile as I sit at the counter.
"Would you be able to keep an eye on Teddy while I go and get a new wardrobe for this changing body?" I ask as she sets down the granola and almond milk
"Of course not dear, take all the time you need! You know I love my alone time with my little man!" she says excitedly
"Thank you so much!" I finish up my breakfast and head into the playroom to read a book to Teddy until it's time to head to Escala.
"Love you Momma" he waves to me from Gail's arms
"Love you Teddy" I blow him a kiss as I step in to the garage I wait till he blows one back and then I close the door and head out.
I pull into Escala 20mins later just as Kate does and we climb out of our cars. Kate still looks slim as can be! I start to pout
"Ana look at you! Oh my you look so pregnant! I want that look already!" she pouts
I brighten up… Kate is jealous me and my body for once!
"Well let me tell you this is about the only thing in my closet that fits. And I have a doctors apt at 230... So let's get to shopping!"
"Thank you Alexia for driving us" I smile as I walk over to the Audi SUV.
"No problem at all Mrs. Grey"
Kate and I climb in heading downtown towards some maternity stores.
"So what're we looking for exactly?" Kate asks
*text message* **Christian Grey**
Hey beautiful. What're you up to?
**Anastasia Grey**
Out with Kate maternity clothes shopping. Need bigger clothes … *pouting*
"Well I'd like to look more fashionable then yoga pants and stretchy sundresses…. I need business casual and outfits for work" I answer back checking my phone.
*text message* **Christian Grey**
Stop pouting you're growing for our blips, I think
you still look hot!
"Oh okay… So Elliot and I finished the plans of the renovation on the house! Elliot starts in a couple days, it's going to be quick so we can make sure that its completely finished and everything can be set up for peanut." She pats her belly
**Anastasia Grey**
Oh do you now? Well that makes me feel good because right now all I can fit in are yoga pants and a sundress.
I catch myself patting my belly as she pats hers and I smile "That's fantastic Kate! I can't wait to have you all move in! Next door to us."
*text message* **Christian Grey**
Sounds sexy to me momma. Still on for 230 doctor's appt.?
"Oh I know me either! I'm going to be such a wreck since this is my first, and since you already have Teddy, having you nearby is a blessing in disguise… you have no idea!" she reaches over and grabs my hand in the seat between us and smiles.
I smile back, you can genuinely se the fear in her eyes. I squeeze her hand. "I'm here for you always Kate" I look down at my phone and message Christian back as a comfortable silence sinks into the SUV.
**Anastasia Grey**
Yes sir (; Excited to hear heartbeats again and see our blips!
*text message* **Christian Grey**
Me too Mrs. Grey… I love you more than words can ever say.
**Anastasia Grey**
I know what you mean I love you as well Mr. Grey.
*text message* **Christian Grey**
Don't forget something sexy for daddy to see later on… (;
**Anastasia Grey**
I'll keep that in mind… daddy? Lmao
*text message* **Christian Grey**
Yeah… daddy… don't lie you know your panties are just a tad bit wet right now…
I blush uncontrollably just as Kate looks over at me.
"Good gosh Ana what're you texting about over there?" she arches an eyebrow at me.
"Christian wants me to buy something for bedtime tonight…" I blush I send out a quick response. Smirking… Two can play this game Mr. Grey I think in my head.
**Anastasia Grey**
Well daddy… I'm not wearing any panties… (;
*text message **Christian Grey**
You Mrs. Grey don't play fair! *pouting* Enjoy your shopping and see you at 215… Love you
**Anastasia Grey**
Neither do you Mr. Grey… See you soon… Love you always
"Well I guess we have a little more than maternity clothes to shop for" she smiles with a wicked grin.
"I'm very much looking forward to this shopping trip… and that says something because I hate shopping."
"I think it's your pregnancy hormones because you loved shopping when you were pregnant with Teddy"
"That's actually right… maybe I should just be pregnant all the time and then I could keep up with you and Mia" I giggle
"I think Christian would run for the hills" she laughs
"Probably!" I laugh
Sawyer pulls up and we get out heading into a line of maternity stores.
"So what're you hoping for?" Kate asks as she pulls some clothes off the rack
"Well I'm not sure, I haven't really thought about it… What about you?"
"Girl! I just have this feeling…" she beams
I grab a few new pairs of slacks and a couple maxi skirts.
"You're ganna be just like my pregnancy I didn't blow up till almost six or seven months… me however this time… I'm blowing up already" I pull my shirt up over my bump
Kate walks over and puts her hands on my belly "I love this belly and I can't wait to have a bigger show than what I am now" she lifts her shirt up and there is ever so slightly a bump.
I place my hands on her belly "In time" I smile
Its about 130 and we have both acquired new pregnancy wardrobes. And anything I out grown Kate is taking from me.
"Ready to head back to Escala Kate?"
"What? No way its only 130, we have a naughty outfit to get you!"
I blush "Well this should be fun" I whisper
We head into this lingerie store and we both play a little dress up show off different outfits to each other. I check my phone its almost 2.
"Come on crazy lets pay I have a doctor's appt to get too!" I smile dragging Kate to the register
We each pay for our outfits and then head off to the Audi so we can make our way back to Escala to drop Kate off and then Christian and I are ganna head to the appt.
"Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon!" Kate says as she hugs me
"Well thanks for coming along on such short notice!" I hug back just as Christian pulls up
"Hey Kate" Christian says as he rolls the window down
"Hi Christian" Kate says back as Sawyer walks over and opens the door for me and I climb in.
"Drive safe Kate... Love you!" I say blowing her a kiss
"Have fun at the doctor's appt! Love you too!" she blows a kiss back and Christian and I are off to the appt.
