There's one Christmas present I've been working on that no one knows about. Well except for Sawyer and the present is for Taylor. I owe that man a lot so the least I can do is get him this. So after finalizing everything for the honeymoon and handing everything to Taylor so it can get done I call Ana and the kids and get Gail after Taylor and I walk out my office.
"What's up, Christian." Ana asks.
"I have one more gift. And it's for Taylor."
"Sir?"
"I owe you a lot and I can't imagine what it feels like not spending the holidays without your daughter. So she should be arriving in about ten minutes. Ryan flew in my jet to get her since it would be much safer then commercial flights. He's been updating me every chance he gets. His last update was twenty minutes ago saying he's on his way here now. There's no traffic so I'm sure he'll be here any minute now."
"You actually got my ex wife to let Sophie come?" Taylor asks.
"Took a lot of begging and some money but it's fine. She'll be staying till after the wedding. Of course, she'll miss about three days of school but that won't do any harm. She'll leave the day after the wedding, Sunday in the afternoon."
"Wow, sir, I don't know how to thank you"
I hear the elevator doors open up and a very chatty girl comes out. "Mr. Ryan I can't wait to see daddy it's been sooooo long"
"I'm sure your daddy will be thrilled to see you miss Sophie. Oh, there he is." Ryan says and Sophie runs to Taylor.
"OH MY GOD DADDY! I missed you so so so so much! I'm so happy to be here." Sophie says. "Gail! I missed you too! I always ask about you when I talk to dad."
"Oh I know sweetheart. He tells me. I missed you too." Gail hugs her.
"Hey Sophie," I say. "You had a good flight?"
"Oh yeah! Mr. Ryan and I played card games. And the very nice lady gave me drinks and food. Thank you for this Mr. Grey!"
"You know, it's Christian." I tell her. "You remember Teddy right?"
"Teddy?"
"It's my nickname. Mommy have it to me." He points to Ana.
"Well hi Teddy!" She hugs him.
"Sophie I want you to meet my fiancée Ana and our daughter Phoebe. Ana and I are getting married soon."
"Hi Ana and Phoebe. It's very nice to meet you."
"Hi Sophie. You want to play dolls with me?" Phoebe asks.
"Oh honey," Ana starts. "How about later? I'm sure she wants to talk to her daddy for a while. You two will have a lot of time to play."
"I would like to play with you later okay?" Sophie says and Phoebe nods. "Come on daddy and Gail I have so much to tell you two!" Sophie grabs their hands and they walk to the kitchen.
"That was really sweet of you Christian. I'm sure Taylor will be forever thankful."
"Can Sophie be my friend?" Phoebe asks.
"Of course," I says. "You two will get to know each other more soon. Now it's time to get ready because we're going over to grandma Grace and grandpa Carrick's place soon."
Ana POV
We're all at Christian's parents place and it's packed. Just like yesterday. Mom, Bob and Dad arrived a few minutes ago and we're ready to exchange gifts. Even Sawyer is here. Mia apparently had invited him to have a proper family introduction. When Grace and Carrick found out they've been dating for over seven months they couldn't believe it at first.
I'm guessing it has now sunk in because they're making Luke feel very welcomed.
Everyone begins to exchange gifts. The kids get more toys and they're beyond excited to play with them. Christian gives Elliot a new truck which haves him in shock. Elliot wasn't expecting that from Christian. Mia also gets a very generous gift. $1000 in gift cards to shop at Chanel.
Perks of having a rich brother.
Grace seems happy to have all her children like this on Christmas. I can see the tears forming in her eyes.
"Christian, I'm going have fun shopping at that Chanel store in the mall now!" Mia says. "Thank you."
"Oh, Mia. That necklace you're wearing, I just noticed it. Wow it's beautiful. Where did you get it from?" Kate asks.
"Oh!" Mia smiles. "It was Luke's gift to me. This and a very cute story to go with it."
"Care to share the story?" Christian says taunting Luke.
"Yes, care to share?" Elliot says. Poor Luke, they're ganging up on him.
"Elliot!" Kate shoves him.
"Christian don't taunt him!" I say. "Luke you don't have to share. I'm sure it was a private moment."
"Exactly," Kate says. "You don't have to share."
"It's okay if he does." Mia smiles.
"Oh.. Well.. That necklace belonged to my mom. Both my parents died about ten years ago.. Anyways, my dad use to randomly give my mom gifts right after they got married. That necklace was one of them. My mom never took that necklace off it was her favorite gift and she showed it off for years. Two weeks before my parents died I had gone through a breakup. My mom came into my room to talk to me to see how I was doing since the reason of the breakup was because my ex cheated. Even though I was mad she cheated I was fine with the fact that we weren't together anymore. My mom takes her necklace off and gives it to me. She tells me to keep it."
Luke is struggling to keep talking. I can tell he's getting emotional.
"I tell her I don't want it because I'm a boy and because I know how much she loves it." We all let out a small laugh. "She then tells me to give it to a girl. I almost went crazy. I told her I wouldn't give that necklace to anyone unless they meant something to me. Unless they were really important to me because that necklace is important. She just keeps smiling and says 'I know baby boy I know. That's why I want you to keep it. I know that you'll give that necklace away to a girl that's worthy of it since it has meaning behind it. And when you do give it away just know she's done everything to prove to you that you're her everything.' At first I was lost as to why she's coming to me with this when I was only sixteen. Then I told myself it was just a mother thing trying to help her son finding real love. Two weeks later she dies and now I truly know that everything does happen for a reason. She might have not know she wasn't going to be walking on earth anymore but she must have done it for a good reason. And I'm glad she did because it's one of my favorite memories with her."
Kate and I are crying, Grace is in awe while my mom has a motherly smile on.
"It's a mother thing trust me." Grace says. "She sounds like she was a wonderful person. May her soul and your fathers soul rest in peace."
"Thank you," Luke says.
"Look at that, you boys wanted to gang up on him to bother him but his story was beautiful." Kate says and Elliot groans. Christian just shakes his head.
"Oh wait, I have one more gift" mom says and I see Grace smiling big.
What is going on?
"So I wanted to leave this for last. For a while now I've been wanting to move. It bothers me how we don't see each other much and I'm missing out on great things. Bob got a better job here in Seattle and we bought a house. We move in tomorrow officially. The only reason we had to stay at a hotel was because the house had to get some remodeling done but everything is finished and we move in bright and early. We have a lot of unpacking to do. So how do you feel about me moving back here?"
"Oh my god mom!" I rush and hug her. "That's great! You'll be closer for anything. I love this!"
"Grace, Ray and I agreed that the kids will stay with me while you guys go away on your honeymoon. Ray and Grace will take turns picking the kids up from school. It'll be much easier for everyone."
"That's great, thank you." Christian says.
"I'm just glad you're back!" I say excitedly.
"Once we're all settled in the house you can all come for dinner. I think we'll all fit." Mom laughs.
"We're also moving." Christian says and begins to talk about his Christmas gift to me.
Christmas this year has been wonderful. I never expecting to be surrounding with such amazing people and love.
Christian POV.
We're on our way home from Christmas dinner. The kids are excited to play with their toys and Ana is still over the moon with the fact that her mom will be back Seattle for good.
Ana is looking out the window playing with her charm bracelet. I know she loved it. I saw her get a beat teary when she saw the charms.
My family is happy and that makes me happy. I grab her hand and kiss it and it makes me even happier to see that ring on her finger.
When we get home the kids go straight to their room with all their new things. Ana and I go to ours.
"We need to start packing you know." She says.
"We can start tomorrow," I say. "I'm keeping the penthouse, by the way."
"Why? I thought you would sell it."
"It was my first home. I bought it all on my own. I'm having it remodeled a bit not much but I'm keeping it."
"Perks of being rich" she says with a smile.
"You do know that when we get married you'll be rich too."
"I'm not use to all this you know that."
"What's mine is yours now too." I kiss her cheek and make my way to the office. I send a text to Taylor telling him to come as well.
A few minutes later he comes in.
"Is everything done?"
"Yes, Sir. Right after the reception you'll be taken home. At 7am you'll take off to your destination. The night of the wedding I have a car switch just in case paparazzi find out and follow. Gail will pack the kids clothing the night before and have everything for them ready."
"Great. Thank you. I also need for you to make sure that when we arrive at the hotel that the room fixed up the way I asked for. Have they all signed NDA?"
"Yes, it was hard but we managed to get to sign."
"Good, I don't want anyone trying to spill secrets. I want to keep everything as quiet as possible."
"I have extra security for the day of the wedding as well. I know everything has been a secret and no one knows anything but it's always good to be safe."
"Yes, that's great. If I have any changes I'll let you know. How's everything with Elena going."
"I spoke with the lawyer yesterday they said they're still doing the best they can to bring charges. But after giving them the video there's a high chance to get an investigation going so she can get sent to jail. Christian," he never says my name unless he gets really serious. "You do know that if she get sent to trial and jail your past is going to come to light with your family. She was your mothers friend and some things are going to have to be told. Like your background and how you met Leila. Your parents will find out."
"They don't need to know about what I did with Leila. We could just say we were a couple that's it."
"You know it won't go like that because Elena will spill venom in that court. She won't hesitate to tell her lawyer everything she knows about you. And you know for a fact your mother will find about what's going on with Elena."
I sigh because I know he's right. Hopefully I'll have enough time to get myself ready to tell my parents. This isn't going to be easy.
"You're right. When the time comes I'll talk to them. Now, go back to your daughter." I smile.
"Thank you, sir. For getting her here." He walks out my office.
Everything seems to be going smoothly but at the same time everything is crashing down. I can feel myself stressed already.
Ana POV.
The next few days goes by quick. It's the day before New Year's Eve and I'm going crazy! I'm doing wedding stuff trying to get everything ordered and finalized before the new year. Just so I don't have so much to do before the wedding.
Right now we're finalizing the flower arrangement. And this lady is being so annoying.
"You sure you don't want more Roses? Only in the bouquets? What does the groom want?" She says in a flirty tone.
My stress is riding over the top. I just want to get home and she's making it difficult. I slam my hands on the table angrily and stare at her in the eyes. "First of all, stop flirting with fiancé. Haven't you noticed he's ignoring you for a damn reason? The fact that you clearly see we're getting married and you're still flirting shows how much respect you have. Second of all, yes. Only one red rose in each bouquet. The rest of the flower arrangement will be white gardenias and roses. White. Did I made that clear for you?" She nods. "Good, now do what you have to do and stop pushing my buttons." She scurries away writing everything down and Christian laughs. "What's so funny?" I ask.
"Seeing her react to your small speech was funny. Plus, You're hot when you're angry."
"I'm glad you can find amusement out of all of this."
"Babe, breath. This is the last thing on our list. All we have to do is go after the new year to get the cake thing done. We'll soon be home. Kid free" he smirks.
I wrap my arms around his neck and whisper in his ear. "I'm expecting a good fuck when we get home."
"You'll be getting it." He says.
And he keeps his word. When we arrived home he fucked me on the bed, on his desk in his office and in the shower.
"Your stamina gets better each time." He whispers in my ear as I finish getting dressed.
"I had to keep up with you."
"Of course" he chuckles. "The kids will be here soon. I check my texts and Taylor says the girls have been driving Teddy crazy with doll talk"
I let out a small laugh. Christian let Taylor and Sawyer have the day off. Them along with Mia took Sophie, Phoebe and Teddy out.
"Poor Teddy, those girls will drive him insane. Phoebe and Sophie are getting attached. I'm afraid how this is going to end when she goes back."
"I don't think she will," he says. "Taylor found out about certain things and he let my father know. Him taking custody of her looks closer than he thought."
"What happened?"
"Sophie's mom told her she's the reason her parents aren't together. Sophie says that sometimes she's nice and other she's mean. That could have meant anything but then Gail pushed her to explain. Her mom doesn't let her be friends with certain kids because.. They're poor. She also said, and I quote, 'mom has a lot of rich guy friends and she makes me tell them how I know Christian Grey.' Why does she need to tell Sophie to bring that up? Oh and there's another thing.."
"What?" I ask.
"The day after Christmas, Ryan came to me to tell me what happened when he went to pick up Sophie. He said he needed me present to keep him calm before he flew out and to his ex wife. I immediately knew it was something bad. I call Taylor into my office and Ryan says that when he arrived to the house Sophie was completely alone. He was knocking for a while until he saw Sophie peaking through the curtains. He told her who he was but she didn't believe him."
"Smart child," I cut in.
"Very. Ryan pulled up his phone and called Sawyer explaining what was happening then put him on speaker so Sophie can hear so she can open the door. When she does he tells Sawyer not to bring anything up to Taylor yet and then he asks Sophie where her mom is at. Turns out her mother wasn't home all night and still hadn't arrived. Ten minutes later she gets there in a hurry probably remembering that Ryan was arriving that morning. Ryan says she looked scared at the fact that he knew she wasn't home."
"She lets Sophie home alone all that time?"
"Looks like it." He sighs. "And it's clear she enjoys being with her dad more than her mom."
"I hope it all works out. She needs someone who's going to be a real parent."
"Yes," he agrees. "Plus, there's space for her to live with Taylor when we all move."
"Wait, how many rooms are there in the small house?" I don't know why I keep saying small house. Like yes, it's definitely smaller compare to our house but it's pretty big to be a staff house.
"There's four rooms." He says.
"Wait how are they going to fit it's already four people, five with Sophie there's- ooooooooh..." I say catching on. "I keep forgetting Taylor and Gail are a couple. They're just so private." I giggle. I remember finding out they were a couple. I was in shock.
"Yes," he chuckles. "So there's an extra room. And if I'm hopeful, it'll be Sophie's." He takes my hand. "You really don't want to see the house till the day we move?"
"Yup, the first time I step in should be the day we move in. I just want to be more anxious." I laugh.
"Just three days away."
"Three days." I smile.
In three days we move.
We get married in about a week.
I don't remember being so nervous.
I hope you all liked how I brought Sophie up! Next chapter will be New Year's Eve! Oh and I hope you liked the cute story Sawyer had told Mia and shared with everyone. Any question's, comments or concerns leave them as a review or PM me.
