Second update tonight.. :)

Okay, let me start by saying how sorry I am that I was gone so long. Two months too long. I had a summer full time job, I am back to part time since school starts soon. Also, I have written as many chapters as I could with my free time, not that I had much. Along with my full time job I had other personal things going on. Also, I have been working on another story. You will see soon. As for this story, I won't long it much. As soon as you guys starts seeing a lot of time skips, the end is near. Again, I've been toying with the idea of doing a second part. With the kids grown up, college grown. What do you think? Of course that story will have Phoebe & Teddy's POV most of the time. Let me know.

The next day I arrive to work just on time. My mind wonders off to what happened last night with Christian. I'm deliciously sore this morning, I still feel him everywhere.

As I settle into my desk I hear a commotion outside. It's Penelope who's arriving on time today but she seems out of breath.

"Penelope, you okay?"

"Yeah, let me just.." She needs to catch her breath.

"I'll get you some water." Luis gets up from his desk and gets her a bottle of water, giving it to her.

"Thanks."

"Did you run a marathon?" Luis jokes.

"No!" She rolls her eyes. "I just thought I was going to be late."

"Penelope, after you've relaxed. Come into my office." I tell her and walk away.

I settle into my desk and straighten things up. A few minutes later Penelope walks right in.

"Take a seat," I say. "You okay? Caught your breath?" She nods. "What happened this morning?"

"Had to take the bus. We don't all have the luxury to have good cars." She says. "My car broke down so the bus was my transportation today. There was accident about four blocks away, so the streets were closed down. I had to run here."

"No niece issues today?" I ask with curiosity.

"Nope." She pops the p.

"Is everything alright at home?"

"With all due respect, Mrs. Grey, that's not any of your business." She seems angry now.

"With all due respect, Penelope, I'm just trying to see what's up to cut you some slack. I know what it's like to have some issues and having to be late."

She sighs. "Everything's fine. I had a neighbor take my niece to daycare. I just had to deal with her father who's being an asshole. Then I had to deal with my sister who's just a loss cause."

"So your niece's mom isn't.."

"No. She only cares about parties and men. I'm my niece's mother."

"How old is your sister?" I ask

"Twenty-five."

"If you ever need to come in late because of your niece just shoot me a text, okay? I'll even pick you up from your place of you need a ride. Of course with my luxury car and CPO."

"Sorry.. I didn't mean to come out rude." She says and I nod. "Thank you."

"Go get started on your work." She nods and walks out.

Maybe her hard, rude exterior is due to her home issues.

For lunch, Ryan brings me a sandwich I ordered. I eat in my office to try to get work done earlier than usual.

At the end of the work day, I meet up with Christian and we head home together. Gail let's us know, as soon as we arrive, that the kids are in our room watching tv. So that's where we head to.

As Christian and I walk in we see the kids napping. I smile and look up at Christian who's smiling too. We go over and kiss their head.

"Mr. Grey," it's Taylor. "May I have a word?"

"Yeah," he nods. "I'll be back baby" I nod and give him a kiss.

Christian POV

"Everything is done. After dinner, Gail will set up the picnic up in your room in the balcony and I'll place the earrings your purchased next to the wine."

"Good, I'll keep Ana away from the room, might go watch another movie with the kids until it's their bedtime."

"I'll send you a text once everything is set up."

I nod and head back to Ana. I love doing small things for my wife so I'm having Gail set up a small picnic on the balcony at night. Some time to relax and give my wife some romance.

She deserves it.

Ana POV.

"Kate, slow down! I can't understand a word you're saying!" I say in a low voice as I stand in the balcony of my room. The kids are still napping but I'll be waking them up soon.

"Ana!" She laughs. "I talked to Elliot again, this time we had a long talk. He's taking me away this weekend! We're going.. Well actually I don't know. But Friday after works we'll be heading out."

"So things are working again?"

"Mhm! He seems enthusiastic about this trip. I'm excited to what comes out of it. Oh Ana, I think this is what we need. Couples have ups and downs right? It's all about moving forward."

"That, my friend, is correct." I laugh. "I'm glad this is happening, you'll both have a great time."

"I know," I can tell she's smiling. "I'll talk to you later okay? Bye!"

"Alright, bye." I hang up and turn to see Christian standing at the end of the bed, looking at the kids.

"Christian?"

"Yeah?"

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah just work things. It'll be fine though. Anyway, I was thinking we should watch another movie with the kids after dinner then have them ready for bed."

"Sounds good. They need to go to sleep earlier tonight. They have to be in thirty minutes early for an event."

"Good, Come on let's wake these two up if not they won't sleep tonight." He nods and we go and wake up the two sleepy heads. When they see us they quickly jump up and give us a hug.

During dinner, the kids become chatty and tell us about everything that happened at school. Apparently Teddy for a prize for having the best drawing. He was excited about it.

After dinner, we watch a movie with the kids, then take them a shower, then put them to bed.

I love having family time like this. Being back at works and the kids in school, we barely have any family time.

Christian takes my hands and we walk to our room together. He seems anxious, like he knows a secret I don't. When he open the door we step in an I gasp.

The room is dim, some candles lit. There's a picnic set up on the balcony.

A red blanket on the floor, gardenias everywhere and wine set up.

Oh, are those strawberries?! Yum!

"I had Gail set it up for me, I just thought maybe we could have some quiet alone time."

"Giving me romance?" I smile.

"Of course, you deserve it. Come." He takes my hand and we take a seat on the floor. After he pours some wine into my cup I notice a small jewelry box. "Open it." He says.

And I do.

Diamond heart shaped earring.

"Christian, these are beautiful." I smile. "Thank you"

"Anything for my wife"

"I love you husband."

"I love you more."

Christian POV

What a stressful fucking Friday. I've been loaded with a lot of shit and it's been a slow fucking day.

"Mr. Grey," Andrea come on the intercom. "Miss Rogers is here regarding some issues with the contract."

"Send her in."

A few seconds later Tatiana Rogers is standing in my office.

"Mr. Grey, I'm not sure if you got my father's email, but I hope you don't mind that I showed up instead of him. He had last minute things to take care off. I'll only be dropping off the changes that were requested and I'll answer any questions."

"Take a seat," I point to the chair. I take the file from her hands and look at the notes. Her father and I had gone through notes last night when I got an email from him requesting some changes. Nothing big, or demanding so I compromised. "No questions, I'll contact your father is anything. The changes will be made today."

"Thank you, Mr. Grey, have a great rest of the day." I nod and she leaves. She barely looked at me. Hmm, maybe Ana got through her on Wednesday.

A few minutes later Ana walks into my office.

She makes sure the door is locked.

"Well, damn, it's always good to see you." She walks over to me taking a seat on my lap. "What's up?"

"Just wanted a break! I have been reading so many damn numbers today my mind is cluster fucked!" She says laughing. "So I'm giving myself a ten minute break."

"Shame shame. Taking a break when you shouldn't be. Do you want to anger your boss?" I smirk.

"My boss won't mind, he'll be find when he finds out what I had in mind to relieve some work stress. That is if my boss isn't busy." She says seductively.

"The boss is busy, but the boss can take ten minutes off for his favorite employee. What do you have in mind Mrs. Grey?"

She smiles and stands in front of me, unbuttoning her blouse slowly.

For the next 15 minutes I fucks my wife slow but hard, making her come on my desk.

She's completely naked, wearing only the earrings I gave her yesterday.

Ana POV

Saturday morning is energetic. The kids are up excited that we'll be having breakfast with mom and Bob and then dinner with Lauren and Dad.

"Mommy!" Phoebe yells out for me. I think she's just calling my name but then she screams again for me. As if she's in pain "MOMMY! DADDY!"

I run to her room, quickly flinging the door open. I find her on the floor clutching her arm.

"I told you no jumping on the bed, Phoebe!" As I take a seat next to her to check her arm, Teddy comes in.

"Phoebe, what happened?"

"I fell.." She says slowly. "Ow! Mommy don't touch it hurts!" She starts to cry now.

"Teddy, baby, can you go downstairs to daddy's office and tell him to come up."

"Okay. Are we still gonna see grandma Carla and Bob?"

"I don't know, honey. Just go get daddy." He nods and runs off.

"NO RUNNING!" I yell, scared he'll end up hurting himself to.

A few moments later, Christian rushes in.

"What happened?!"

"I fell.." Phoebe says.

"Damn it, Phoebe, how many times have we said no jumping in the bed?"

"A lot.."

"I think we should take her to the hospital, just to be sure she has nothing broken."

Christian nods and we all head out to the hospital.

When we arrive we're immediately taken in just because of who Christian and his mom are. They do some x-rays on her arm and I text mom letting her know we won't be there for breakfast explaining what happened. She texts back letting me know if we're out by noon, we can go over for brunch.

I let her know that if we're out early we'll be there.

The x-ray's take a while to come back, but luckily when they do, she didn't break anything.

"She seems to have a fractured wrist, nothing broken." The doctor says checking Phoebe's arm. "She most likely felt the pain through her whole arm, but the trouble is in her wrist. She'll be given a wrist brace and she'll have to wear it for at least a week." He turns to her. "Try not to move your hand a lot either okay? So it can heal faster." He smiles. "Does it still hurt?"

"Just a little."

"Do you want medicine?"

"No" she shakes her head "it's doesn't bother me."

"I'll prescribe some medicine she can take if she begins to feel pain again. She'll be fine, she just needs to be careful. At least it wasn't her dominant hand."

He writes a prescription and hands it over. So I put it in my bag. After Phoebe gets the brace, we head out to brunch at mom's place.

"Phoebe, you know you're grounded right?" I say as Christian drives off.

"Grounded?" Christian asks.

"We've told her no jumping on the bed a lot of times, she needs to learn."

"I think she learned her lesson, babe. No need for grounding."

"She's grounded, for the weekend. That's final." I turn back to look at her and she nods. Christian nods as well.

I stare out the window, frustrated with Phoebe but glad she's okay. I just want some food in my system now.
