Happily Ever After… and then Some!

Chapter 12

A/N: Sorry about the terrible hiatus! I went through a really terrible writers block and I thought the chapters though were pouring out of me started to pretty much sound the same, and then all the words just stopped pouring out… But now all is well and I really hope to start popping chapters out again whenever I finish one. I love all the support I'm still getting with this story! It means the world to me. Okay so I lied in that authors note before I'm not going to do a gender poll.! And I'm going to work on that word "ganna". After going back to reread all my chapters I realized although I may say it in real life, it does sound terrible when you read it… lol you all win… 1 point readers… 0 points author… Well I hope y'all continue to read and enjoy this story! Much love and thanks you all! MWAH!

Ana's POV

5 Months have gone by…

I sit on the couch willing myself to get off the couch but it just isn't going to happen. "damn you belly" I curse to myself. At almost 8 months pregnant I can barely do anything by myself now. And getting off the couch alone has become a task in a half lately. I look around and see that no one is around so I scoot off the couch onto the floor so I can turn and face the couch and push myself up.

"Damn that ass is nice to walk in on" I hear the smirk in Christian's voice.

"Well don't just stand there staring at my ass you dick, come help me!" I all but yell

Christian rushes over knowing I'm not playing games and helps me stand up. "Sorry Ana baby"

"Don't you sorry me, I'll remember that little stunt"

"Oh come on, you looked adorable as hell trying to get up off the floor, and how and why did you get on the floor might I ask?"

"Well if you must know… I…I couldn't get off the couch by myself and thought that was the next best thing to do" I pout crossing my arms over chest which fails because between my belly and boobs it's so uncomfortable to do that with my petite arms.

"Aww baby not much longer" he walks over and pulls me into an awkward hug.

I immediately start to cry. Stupid hormones I think to myself.

"Ana now what's the matter.?" He takes a step back.

"I'm tired of not being able to hug properly, I'm so ready for these two to come out" I sigh

Christian gives me a shy smile and leans down to kiss me. I of course kiss back and all my sadness is gone. I smile against his lips.

"Come on baby lets go get you some lunch, Gail should be finished making it." Christian takes me by the hand to the breakfast bar.

"I love you Christian." I smile as I climb onto the bar stool.

Christian sits next to me "I love you my Ana" he places a hand on my belly "And I love you two as well." He smiles and then takes a bite of his BLTA.

I dig in to mine as well. I've craved these delicious bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado on pumpernickel bread sandwiches my entire pregnancy. Which I find kind of off because when I was pregnant with Teddy I hated all these things. I have a feeling I'm carrying two little girls in there. But we have chosen to wait one more week to find out what we are having. We are having a gender reveal party and then 2 weeks later we are doing the baby shower.

Things have just been way to hectic with Christian trying to work a deal with a company in Russia, has had him traveling back and forth to get this settled and it finally happened last week so we were able to set a date. Only one person knows the genders of the babies and that would be Gail. I knew she was the only one who could pull this off without telling everyone else.

"When is Mia supposed to drop off Teddy?" Christian asks breaking my thoughts.

"I check the clock on my phone. "Probably in a couple hours" I yawn and he smiles at me.

"Guess you should take advantage of that and get in a nap, I have to head into work for a meeting." He says getting up.

"Maybe I should" I get up and waddle into the kitchen with our plates. Christian walks over and kisses my cheek as I place the plates into the sink.

"You have the cutest waddle in the world" he whispers into my ear.

"You're lucky I'm too tired to fight you right now Mr. Grey." I say placing my hands on my hips.

"That I probably am Mrs. Grey." He leans down and kisses me goodbye and then heads off to his meeting.

I walk over to the couch and lay down looking out the big window to the back yard. The leaves are changing color and embracing the beautiful fall weather. I yawn again. Next thing I know it's almost 3 and I am awoken to the sound of Teddy yelling for me.

I sit up "Right here baby" he comes running over as Mia follows.

"Momma!"

""Hey baby" I hug him as he climbs up on the couch. And he curls up in my arms.

"Hey Ana" Mia walks in all smiles.

"Hey Mia how was Teddy?"

"Like an angel as always" she replies "He's very tiring though" she giggles.

"Tell me about it."

"Soooo…." She pauses and I look up at her.

"What do you want Mia?" I ask knowing she's planning something.

"Well I was thinking we should do a masquerade baby shower party!" she claps her hands together.

"You want to do what?" I ask confused… damn baby brain.

"You know like a costume party…. But a baby shower… but a party" she looks hopeful

"We can do whatever you want… but..."

"Man I hate buts…" she pouts

"But you have to run everything past Christian first."

"Aww man! Really?! Why can't you do it?!" she asks almost begging me.

"Because you want it" I smirk

"But… but Ana, he can't say no to you!"

"Mia he would never say no to you either!" I pout back

Dropping to her knees she places her hands in a praying gesture and begins begging me with pleading eyes and everything. There's no way I can say no to her now… man I'm a sucker for sad puppy dog eyes no matter who is dawning them apparently.

I huff "Fine I'll just say yes to everything… and I'll tell Christian later. Just run all the plans by me... and nothing over the top Mia"

She reaches forward and grabs me by my knees with her arms. "Thank you thank you thank you! Best sister in law ever!"

"Mia can you help me up?" I ask with an apologetic look

"Of course sis" she walks over and pulls me up to my feet and then I walk over to the table by the front door and grab out my planner.

"Well I think this weekend is the gender reveal dinner" I tap the pen I'm holding against my lip "we can schedule the party for two weeks after that… does that sound okay?" I look up at her and she is all smiles.

"Sounds perfect!" she screeches walking over to me "Oh man I can't wait to find out when these two little babies are! And then have this party" she places her hands on my belly and pats it a little causing someone to kick back. Mia's eyes light up.

I can't help but smile the feeling of the kicks although a little discomforting mean so much to me. I honestly can't wait to find out what these two little ones are. They're coming into such a loving family.

"Well I better get out of here so I can start planning for the party!" Mia hugs me and then she's out the door before I even know it.

I put my planner away and head back over to the couch where I see my little teddy fast asleep. I grab my phone from the table and snap a picture.

**Ana Grey** Look at our handsome little boy…

I smile and wonder into the kitchen.

**Christian Grey** Looks just like his beautiful mother…

**Ana Grey** You're too sweet… when will you be home?

**Christian Grey** Headed home now… What's for dinner my beautiful wife?

**Ana Grey** I'm very undecided, these babies are driving me crazy.

**Christian Grey** Hmmm… Guess we'll have to figure it out when I get home. Love you Mrs. Grey

**Ana Grey** Love you more Mr. Grey… Seen you soon

**Christian Grey** Not soon enough (:

**Ana Grey** :P

I set the phone down and start going through the cabinets. Surely there has to be something I want to eat! Hmm I really want pickle juice popsicles.

"Mmmm" I moan

"What're you mmming about in here Ana?" Gail asks walking into the kitchen.

"I really want pickle popsicles."

"Well that's different, I can run to the store and get those popsicle maker things. And a jar of your fav pickles and ill set them all up" she smiles

"Oh my gosh! Could you!?" I can feel myself beaming

"Of course anything for those little…" she quickly stops herself blushing she reaches over and pushes my mouth closed "Sorry, almost let that slip.. I better go, do you need anything else?"

"Oh some strawberries… and heavy cream, and if we don't have any powdered sugar get some of that… hmm and I really want steak for dinner ill have Christian cook it. And some potato salad.. oh man now I'm starving!" I give her a pleading look and all she can do is smile big.

"Ill be back as soon as I can" she smiles and heads for the door.

"Get enough for yourself and Taylor too Gail" I yell after her.

"Okay my dear"

I walk over to the refrigerator and bend down to grab a bottle of water when an odd tightening feeling runs through my lower abdomen from my lower back.

"owww" I groan out. I slowly stand up bracing myself on the counter when I feel it again. "I'm only 8 months" I murmur to myself.

"Ana dear are you okay?" Gail asks walking into the kitchen fear written all over her face.
