So it has been brought to my attention that there's a similar story on here (ana & christian being single parents & having to go up to the school because of a problem..) and I'm not sure what to do lol someone told me the name of it but I haven't had time to read it.

I do want to let it be known I had no idea. I don't want people thinking I stole the that. The original plot for this story was that Ana was a single mom of twins (Phoebe & Teddy) and Christian had to show up in school because his nephew (Mia's son) & Ana's son started a paper ball fight & Mia couldn't make it.. LOL but I changed it to what I posted here.

I had already written six chapters in advance before even posting the first one so I'll continue posting..

Today has been terribly slow and annoying. First I woke up late making Phoebe late to school. Then my car broke down on my way back home. I had to call Kate and see if she was free to pick me up. She had told me she had today off so that's why I begged for help.

After that I went home and my electricity was out. I had to call to get that fixed and they took forever to come!

But it doesn't stop there. Since the electricity was out for a while I had to get new food since some of the food in the fridge was beginning to spoil.

Then after that, I was given a ticket. When I had drove down to a grocery store using Kate's car while she napped on my couch I was stopped. Apparently the officer saw me on my phone. When in reality the phone was in my BAG! What an asshole.

Now I'm on my way to pick Phoebe up. Kate is still at my place so I'm using her car once again. I park my car and step out quickly searching for her. While my eyes roam around for a little brunette with pigtails as big blue eyes my eyes land on Christian.

He's here.. Picking up Theo.

Oh I find my daughter. She's talking to Christian. As I walk towards them I hear her talking.

"He hasn't been mean Mr. Grey he's been very nice. He knows that if he's mean I'll tell you"

He chuckles. "Good,"

"Dad, this is two against one not fair!"

"Very fair if I do say so myself" he high fives Phoebe.

"Phoebe, honey." I say

"Mommy!" She runs over to me giving me a hug. "Hi mommy, mr grey is on my team!" I laugh.

"Oh really? Poor Theo is alone now."

"He deserves it" she crosses her arms.

"Phoebe! Be nice!"

"It's fine" Christian chuckles "she's too cute."

"Phoebe tell my dad I was good to you today" Theo says.

"Yes he was. We were partners for art and we had to draw a picture together and he wanted to draw monsters and I wanted to draw princess fairies and I told him he had to do as I say because I'm a girl and I rule and he did what I said" she explains.

"Phoebe! Oh my god.. I swear I'm going to have a long talk with Katherine Kavanagh!" Damn it Kate what are you teaching my child? "That's not nice Phoebe." I say then look over at Christian who's trying to hold his laugh. "What's so funny Mr. Grey?"

"Your little girl is one of a kind" he smiles. "I have to go though, it was nice to see you again Phoebe." He shakes her hand

"You too Mr. Grey!"

"Call me Christian"

"Bye Christian" Phoebe and I both say.

"Bye Phoebe, Ana.. Say bye Theo"

"Bye Phoebe, Bye miss Ana" he's too cute.

When Phoebe and I arrive home she heads straight to Kate. Those two are like best friends and that's scary.

"Ana!" Kate calls out "I'll be staying with Elliot this weekend you can keep my car. You need it more than I do."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah" she smiles "no worries."

"Thanks you! Are you staying for dinner?"

"No sorry, Elliot is picking me up in a few." She replies.

"I'll just order Chinese later then. Phoebe go change your uniform." She nods and heads to her room. "So are you and Elliot a thing now?"

"I guess so.. I'm not sure. I mean things have been getting serious but I'm just not sure what exactly I am to him. I really like him Ana. A lot!" Whoa Kate..

"Well hopefully things will work out"

"I know I'm not the type to want labels but I want him to call me his girlfriend" she whines and I laugh.

"Take it easy, I'm sure it'll get to that point soon"

"I hope-" she's cut off bye her phone ringing. "Hello?.. Oh hey!... Yeah I'll be out. Ok bye." She hangs up. "That's Elliot. He's outside. BYE PHOEBE"

"BYE AUNT KATE" Phoebe yells back.

"Bye Ana." She walks out.

"Mommy wanna play with me?" Phoebe says walking out with her dolls

"Sure come on" I say while walking to the living room.

Christian POV

"Theo! Dinners ready!" I knock on his door. One of my favorite things is having dinner with my son. I cherish every single moment I get to spend with him.

With the job I have is difficult being around him. Lately, I've been thinking about handing some work over to my number two. Ros Bailey. That way I can pick my son up from school more and not have to work late night sometimes.

I sit at the table waiting for Theo. A few minutes later he comes strolling down.

"Hey dad!" He says sitting next to me.

"So tell me what do you want to do this weekend?"

"Can we go on your boat?" He asks.

"Sure, anything you want. So now tell me about your day at school. I'm sorry I had to go back to work after I picked you up buddy."

"It's okay dad. At least you were back before dinner." I really hate getting home late. I rarely make it home at 5pm. It's always 6:30, 7, 8 or even 9. "Anyways school was good. Phoebe is so bossy but she's nice and cool. She shared her cookies with me so I shared my candy."

"Good. Be nice to her and any girl okay?"

"Yeah dad. Oh today we went to the park it was fun."

"I'm glad you had a good day. So you want to go on the boat tomorrow? That's it?" I ask.

"Can we go toy shopping?"

"Don't you have enough toys?"

"Nope." He smiles. "Can we?"

"Alright"

Anything for my boy.

Ana POV.

The weekend went by rather quickly. It's Monday morning and Phoebe and I are getting ready for our day.

"Mommy! Hurry up!" Why is my daughter in a hurry? "Mom why are you taking so long?"

"Phoebe I'm just putting my hair up and we'll go! Did you eat your cereal?" She nods. "Why are you in a hurry?"

"I'm not. It's 7:40am mom" WHAT? Holy fuck we're going to be late. I finish putting my hair up in a bun, grab my bag and keys and head out.

Luckily I had my car fixed by Sunday so Kate could have hers back. "Come on sweetie. Grab your backpack."

I drop Phoebe off at school then make my way over to GEH. I remember when Kate told me Elliot got Christian to give me the interview. It was like a breath of fresh air. At first I couldn't believe it.

Once I arrive I park my car and head to the 20th floor. I had gotten an email from Christian last night telling me to head straight to his office the moment I arrive.

When I step foot in the building I go up. I see Andrea, Christian's PA, at her desk. When she looks up she smiles at me.

"Hi," I say "Christian, I mean Mr. Grey, told me the moment I arrive to head to his office."

"Hi," she smiles. "Just sit over there he'll be out in a few. He has a visitor."

I nod and head over to the chair and sit.

"But Christian, you need to help me!" A brunette says walking out his office. She's around my height and probably around my age. Her hair is cut into a cute bob.

"Mia we'll-" he stops when he sees me. "Anastasia, good morning."

"Good morning, Christian." I smile timidly while I stand up.

"Oh?" The brunette, who's name is apparently Mia, says while smiling. "Hi I'm Mia, Christian's sister. Oh you're really pretty." She's bubbly.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Ana. And thank you."

"Who is this?" Mia smirks at Christian.

"New employee," he says annoyed.

"And y'all already on the first name basis, oh my" she smiles. "I'll talk to you later Christian. You seem to be busy" she taunts him.

"Mia.." He warns and she laughs walking away. "Come in Ana."

And I do.

"Have a seat. Sorry about my sister"

"That's fine," I chuckle "she seems nice."

"She's a handful" he smiles. He takes paperwork out his desk and places it in front of me. "The first one is an NDA that's pretty much self explanatory" I nod and sign it.

He's a successful and rich CEO he needs to protect his company and well himself.

"The second paperwork is your contract here. It explains everything from your monthly salary to what you're expected to do." He places a brand new blackberry and iPad in front of me and my eyes go wide. "All my employees get a new phone and an iPad for work. You can either use it as your work phone or both your personal and work."

I open up the contract and my eyes land on the monthly salary section and I choke on air.

"Umm, this much?"

"My employees are important they deserve a good pay"

"But.. This is so much!"

"You're the first one to complain about it being a lot" he laughs.

"No!" I giggle "I'm not complaining! It's just, damn! It's a lot. In other places I'd have to work over a year to earn this much a month!"

"Well aren't you glad you got a job here?" He says cockily. "The least most my employees make a year here is around $100k"

"The least!?" I shriek. "But that's about how much I'll be making!"

"So just think about how much more you can make if you stay for years and work your way up." He smirks.

"Wow" I say and he chuckles.

"You have to go to the floor below and get your employee badge then head to the 15th floor and head over to Jessica Adams. This is basically like a paid internship at the moment. If it all works out you'll be working directly with her and for her. If you keep working your way up you can be part of the finance management team."

"Wow" is all I say. "Umm thank you" I say gratefully.

"No problem" he smiles and I stand up heading towards the doors. "Oh Ana!"

"Yeah?"

"Mind having lunch with me again?"

"So my lunch is at the same times as yours?" He nods. "Alright."

"Meet me in my office" I nod and head out smiling like an idiot.

My day goes my flawlessly. After I got my badge I head straight to where I was suppose to go and met with Jessica. She's a beautiful lady in her mid 30's. I swear she looked like she came out of a beauty pageant. Curiously I had asked for her nationality and turns out she's Mexican and German.

I had lunch with Christian once again and we talked about our weekend. Christian had taken Theo on his boat and you shopping the next day hiking with his brother, Elliot. I told him I spent the weekend in with Phoebe. We had a lazy weekend watching movies, doing each other's hair, ordering in, eating a lot of candy and ice cream.

By 2:40 I go on over to Jessica letting her know I have to go pick up Phoebe.

"Jessica," she insisted on me calling her by her first name "I have to go pick up my daughter and drop her off at my dad's"

"Alright, when you get back I have to talk to you about something." She smiles.

It took me thirty minutes to pick up Phoebe, take her to my dad's and come back. I didn't see Christian around or even leave the building the same time I did so he must have had someone else pick Theo up.

When I get back to the office I head over to Jessica and sit by her desk.

"Anastasia"

"Ana, call me Ana"

"Alright, Ana" she smiles. "Since it was your first day you had to be here at 8 but starting tomorrow you come in at 9 leave at 5. Of course you can go pick up your daughter from school and take her to where she needs to go I don't mind that. I have kids myself so sometimes I have to leave to pick them up"

"Oh, how many?"

"I have there kids. Two boys one girl. Ages 14, 10 and 2."

"My daughter is 5, who normally picks up your kids?" I ask.

"My husband."

"Oh they're dad"

"Oh no, well technically. He's my sons' stepdad and my daughter's biological dad."

"Ohhhh.."

"Yeah you know. My ex-husband walked out on me when my 10 year old was 5 because he didn't want to be a dad anymore. Two years later I met my current husband but we didn't get married until two months ago. I just wanted to be sure." She laughs.

"Totally understand. My daughters father decided that a football scholarship as going to parties was more important that his daughter. So I get you."

"Ugh, men can be such assholes. Luckily I found my husband."

"What does he do?"

"He's a high school football coach." She laughs and I roll my eyes.

"You recently got married, huh?" She nods "how was the honeymoon?"

"We haven't gone yet. We had a lot going on. Our daughter got sick and so did my eldest son plus we were in the process of moving into our new home. Then his mom was in an accident, nothing major, but you know she needed our help once in a while until she healed. We leave for our honeymoon in two weeks. That's what I want to talk to you about. These next two weeks I'll be putting you up to date and training you to take over for the two weeks I'll be gone. Don't look at me light that," she giggles "you'll be fine its pretty easy. I'll be preparing you well enough. Mr Grey thought since you'll be working with me that you can just take my spot so if you're scared go blame him." she jokes. "When I come back you'll be back to the position you have now."

"But I'm new here!"

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." She says again "this can be a good job experience for you."

"Alright,"

"You'll be working closely to me starting tomorrow. For now, just look over the paperwork and make copies then mail them off. Afterwards check your email, there will be some files sent to you. Check those as well then mail me back. Then you can go home." She places papers in front of me "this is your copy your the NDA and contract you signed earlier with Mr. Grey. Yours to keep."

"Okay, thanks you." I say taking them then heading back to my desk.

Holy fuck, things are gonna get hectic.

Still keeping it light and easy..
