Second update today ;) Enjoy my lovely people.

When I arrive to the hospital, Grace is there waiting for me. "Grace?"

"Ana, honey, breathe. She's okay, shaken up, but okay. Teddy had a cut on his chin but Phoebe was knocked out unconscious from the fall. She's awake now, no swelling in the brain but we want to keep her overnight to be sure."

"Fall?! What happened?!"

"Christian knows the story better, maybe even Teddy. I'll let them explain. Teddy's a bit shaken up too."

She leads me to the room and Phoebe is talking.

"No.. I don't know- MOMMY!" She sits up straight in the bed with tears in her eyes. I race over to her giving my little girl the biggest hug I can. I sit on the bed and let her lay her head on my chest.

"What happened?" I ask.

"Phoebe was playing on the slide then she water to go down the pole like a firefighter. Another boy came behind her and started pushing her to hurry up. She turned and yelled at him and he pushed harder and she fell from high up. I ran over to the boy and started hitting him for pushing Phoebe. He push back so I fell and cut my chin here" he point to the stitches under his chin. "Then he started crying and I saw Phoebe didn't get up and I got scared and ran down to her and started calling her name. She didn't get up and I got really scared so I called Miss Almonte and told her." His chin wobbles a bit as if he's about to cry "I just wanted her to wake up."

"She's awake, pumpkin. She's fine now." He nods. "How much trouble is he in?" I ask Christian.

"Not sure,"

"What about the other kid?"

"Don't know, all I cared about was getting teddy and following the ambulance."

"Teddy, sweetheart, I know you were defending Phoebe but don't hit anyone okay? Fighting is not okay. You run to the teacher and tell them what's happening."

"He hurt my sister, mommy! He needed to pay!" He says furiously.

"I understand but no hitting, okay?"

"Okay," he nods.

"Mr. Grey, I just got off the phone with the kids teacher." Taylor says entering the room. "She would like to have a meeting tomorrow if that's possible."

"Yeah, that's fine." I answer.

"Where were you earlier? they called you first." Christian says.

"I must have been inside a store, there's barely any service by the bank."

"Ah, got it." He nods.

"Mommy I want to eat," Phoebe says in almost a whisper.

"I'll buy food" Taylor says and walks out.

Phoebe then begins to sob in my chest. "Baby girl what's wrong?" Christian asks.

"This is scary.. I didn't wake up cause I hit my head hard" she cries more making me blink back tears.

"Don't cry, you'll give yourself a headache. Look, you're better now and you'll stay overnight where doctors can watch you"

"You stay too right?" Phoebe asks.

"Of course, I'm not going anywhere." I say.

The next few weeks go by quickly and before we know it, It's mid May, and the kids are out of school.

The meeting with the teacher the next day after phoebes accident was interesting. The kids parents never showed up, shows a lot. Phoebe was okay, thank god. Nothing serious, she was let go that morning.

Christian's birthday is in about a month and I'm planning something romantic for us two. The kids decided they wanted to make their father a present so I left that up to them.

Each day, I accept the fact that I am pregnant and each day I begin to get excited. I actually love the idea of being pregnant again, now. I've been learning to not overthink so much. Just let things flow and take one day at a time. No one knows I'm pregnant, we decided to keep it a secret. And they will be finding out on Teddy's birthday. I'll be five months by then.

It's Wednesday morning and I'm running a bit late to work. And by a little bit I meant one hour. Christian had left early for work so I didn't have him to wake me up, my phone was off so my alarm never went off.

As I settle into my desk (finally), I get started with the work day. Penelope enters my office, to put me up to date.

"You have a meeting with Ros at noon, also have the file faxed back to the offices downtown in one hour. You have two new emails, I forwarded what you told me to get done last night all I need is your approval to print and sent out. Jessica also dropped a new business transaction on your desk, it's the purple folder." I see the dark circles under her eyes. I've been noticing them since Monday.

"Okay," I nod. "Anything else?"

"Yes, that's all for the day."

"Take a seat," I say. "Is everything okay at home?"

"Yes," she nods once. "Just fine."

I drop it. "Alright, well, I need you to clear my schedule tomorrow. No meetings, from the look of this file I have enough to do for the rest of the week. Damn is this one inch thick?"

"Alright"

First order of the day is to fax out what I need to before I forget.

After I get that done I look over at the emails Penelope sent me then email her back saying to sign then off.

Once I get that done I get ready for my meeting with Ros. I know it'll be short, she just wants to make sure things are running smoothly and show her the latest we've done

The meeting only last 45 minutes, so I head out to lunch.

I'M STARVING! And I'm craving a cheeseburger so bad right now. I walk to the nearest McDonalds and order two Big Macs and large fries.

And I can't believe I actually eat it all. Well.. I really am pregnant. Laughing to myself, I throw out the trash and walk back to work. I revive a text from Christian telling me to wait for him after work so we can leave together. The last two days he'd been working late, so I went home by myself. Today will be different from the looks of it.

As I walk back to my office, I hear a loud commotion.

"Penelope, you have to breathe! What happened?" Luis asks frantically.

"Olivia, she's missing! My- my neighbor went to pick her up from daycare and she wasn't there." Penelope sobs and I run over.

"Did you call the cops?!" I ask. "Anything?"

"No! Because I'm pretty sure her father took her. She wasn't there because that son of a bitch picked her up without letting me know!" She says angrily.

"Luis, call Jason Taylor up in the security room and tell him to send down Ryan. Now!" I demand.

"Has he said anything to you?" I ask her. She tries to speak, but she can barely breathe from all the sobbing.

"Penelope, listen, you need to relax so you can talk that way we can help you." Jessica finally speaks up in a soothing voice.

"H-he said that one day he's gonna take my sister and my niece. I scoffed, he can barely take care of himself and my sister barely wants anything to do with Olivia. But lately he's been sneaking around doing things. I've been extra careful with everything, b-but look what happened, he took my little girl!"

Ryan gets down here and looks alarmed from the commotion. "Tell him where the daycare is at and we'll start there." I take her hand and help her up. She tells Ryan the address then I fill him in on everything.

On the ride over she's frantic, she can barely sit still.

Once we arrive, we all step out the car and talk to whoever is in charge. The lady says her mother picked her up which is why they were able to hand her over since she's one of the people in the contact list.

"This is fucking unbelievable I've been meaning to take her off and look what happened." Penelope cries again. Her phone rings scaring her and she picks up quickly after one rings. "Jake, hey.. no no I have something going on. It's Olivia... Yeah they fucking took her this time. I'll keep you updated and hopefully I'll see you soon." She hangs up and looks over. "That was Jake.. he's a good friend of mine that lives in New York. He comes to Seattle often to visit with his son."

I nod and we walk back to the car. "Do you know what kind of car you sister or Olivia's dad has?" I ask.

"Blue toyota. That's all I know."

We drive to her place to see if anything was taken or left behind. We walk in and everything is in its spot. She texts someone and takes a seat to relax and think. "I can't believe she did this to me. She knows how much Olivia means to me. My sister is a fucking bitch!"

"Can you think of any place they might have gone to?"

"No." she shakes her head. "I can't even call the cops because she's her mom! I have no say." She cries, so I sit next to her and console her. A few minutes later a guy comes in.

"Penelope?"

"Jake.." She runs straight into his arm, hugging him tight. "Where's Noah?"

"With my mom." He answers. "Have you found out anything yet?"

"No.."

"I gave my friend a call.. the cop. I asked for help. Told him your sister is a bit unstable and just ran with her daughter and Olivia's dad. He's doing all he can."

"Thank you so much." She sobs. "Oh, Jake, this is Ana. My boss. Ana this is Jake, the best guy I know."

"Nice to meet you." I say.

"Like wise." He smiles.

We all sit around hoping we hear from them soon. A call coming from Jake's phone makes us all jump. "It's him." He says. He steps away to take the call and seconds later he pulls Penelope up. "Let's go they found her."

"How?" I ask.

"They were parked in an alley.. doing it.. and snorting coke all while Olivia was asleep in the back seat."

"You have got to be fucking kidding me." Penelope runs out and we all follow behind. She gets into his car and I tell them I'll follow behind with Ryan. When we arrive to the precinct, we all rush in. Penelope is a woman in a mission.

"Nelo!" A little girl who I assume is Olivia runs over to her jumping into Penelope's arms.

"Thank god you're okay. Stay here with Jake okay?" She nods and Penelope asks to speak to her sister.

"I'll go with her." Ryan, of course, comes with us and we see her sister.

"You stupid, stupid, bitch! How dare you even take Olivia like that. You better believe that after what your disgusting self did today, you won't ever see Olivia again."

"You can't do that, she's my daughter." Her sister spat.

"She's only your daughter when you want something from me. After I leave this place I'm contacting a lawyer and you'll lose all rights to her. After what you did I'll get that granted quickly. I could care less with what you do with your life. But you are no longer being a part of mine."

Penelope walks away with her head help up high and I feel proud of her. She picks up her niece and turns my way. "Thank you for taking time out of your day to be there for me."

"Don't thank me, I'm just glad she's okay. Go do what you have to do. I'm heading back to work." I smile at her and head over to the car with Ryan. Something tells me Penelope won't be returning to work after this.

The next day I visit Penelope at her place. She asked me to come over, so I do. When I knocked on her door, I wasn't expecting to see so many boxes when she opened it. But my gut feeling was right.

"Hey, come in." She says. "Thank you for stopping by."

"No problem, what are you doing?" I ask.

"Packing.. cleaning up."

"Hey, Penelope, what should I do with this?" Jake come out of a room and says.

"Oh, just throw it away." She says then gets back to me.

"So what's up?" I ask.

"I wanted to give you this," he hands me a letter "it's suppose to be my letter of resignation."

"You're quitting?" I smile, sadly.

"Yeah," she nods. "I have a lot to take care of here, and I'm moving to New York."

"With Jake?" I smirk.

"Yeah," she blushes.

"Sometimes a fresh start is what we all need, and if this is what you need to be able to move forward then I'll support you. I grew to really like you as a friend, so I hope this doesn't mean we stop talking."

"No." She shakes her head smiling. "You'be nothing but amazing to me, cared a lot. I still hope to have you in my life."

"I expect updates and all. Oh and pictures."

"Absolutely." She laughs. "I'm getting papers finalized that will make me Olivia's legal guardian, then I'll be leaving. Jake is going to help me."

"I'm glad you have him then." I hug her and then step back. "Starting now keep me updated, okay? I want to know when you leave and when you arrive and I want to know you've settled in. If you need anything else, don't hesitate to contact me."

"Thank you so much, Ana. And I'm sorry for being a bitch when we first met."

"Oh, that? I totally forgot about it." I smile and walk out her place. The only thing going through my mind is hope for her. Starting a new chapter in life is always great. I would know, meeting Christian was life's way of starting a new chapter in my life.

And Penelope is now out. Next update will either be later on today or tomorrow. More pregnant Ana and more drama.
