I hope you all had a great weekend! Here's the next chapter...
"Wait, rewind. What?!" I says.
"I'm pregnant." She sobs this time and I run over to give her a hug. "I don't know what to do."
"I didn't realize you were seeing someone."
She nods. "I've been keeping it a secret since even before the new year. Actually I've been seeing him since before Thanksgiving. He's Michael's best friend! And I know this is really cliche, but he warned me to stay away from him because he was a player and all."
"You're right, that is cliche." I say to lighten things up a bit. It worked, she laughed. "Have you been seeing him as in an actual relationship, or was it just a hook up?"
"Actual relationship. I like him a lot Ana. So much! He treats me like a queen! His name is Zack, by the way. He just graduated too."
"Oh, what is his career path?"
"He wants to be a History teacher. He's currently a basketball coach in the high school near campus. He played basketball in college."
"Does he know..?"
She nods. "Yes" she nods. "But we've barely talked since then, I don't know what to do. I mean, it's not like he's running away, I think he's just trying to let things sink in, but still.. we need to talk you know?"
"Well, you need to be forward with him. You both do need to talk." She nods. "Does anyone else know?"
"Just you. For now I just want to let things flow with Zack for a while before announcing it."
"How far along?"
"About eight weeks." She sniffs. "I'll be starting senior year soon, this is all so.. crazy! I was so careful, well I tried to be and look what happened."
"Just take it one day at a time okay?" She nods. "Don't stress yourself, it's not good for the baby or even for you. How about I set you up in one of the guest rooms and you rest, it's been a long day."
I lead her up to one of the rooms and then head into mine to lend her some clothes. When I walk back in the the room, she's staring out the balcony. "Hey, here's something more comfortable for you to sleep in."
"Thanks." She says. "Ana, thanks for listening to me. I didn't know who to turn to and I knew you would understand the most."
"I'm always here." I smile at her then walk out closing her door then going back into my room. Christian is just getting out the shower. "Hello handsome."
"Hello beautiful, had girl talk with Mariana?"
I nod "pretty much. I'm going to shower I feel sticky."
"After that shower, you're mine. I'm exhausted and all I want is to hold my wife close as I fall asleep." I blush and smile, then head off to take a shower.
I love my man.
CPOV
It's been a week since Teddy's party and since everyone find out about the baby news. Today we're finding out what we're having.
We're already in a room, Ana is laying back with her tummy on display while Dr. Greene checks the baby. Her tummy is rather small, yet big. It amazes me that Ana and I created life together. Something beautiful.
"So are you two ready to find out what you're having?" She ask. Ana and I nod enthusiastically. "Well mama and papa, it looks like they're a healthy baby girl in that tummy. Congratulations."
"A girl," I smile. "I hope she's sassy like Phoebe." Ana laughs. "Wow, I'm having another daughter."
"You sure are big guy," she says. "A lot of girls in that house hold."
"Fine by me," I smile but fuck, I feel tears streaming down my face. I tried to hold the emotions in, but I couldn't. I'm having another girl, another child. I look over at Ana who seems to have tears of joy as well, so I lean down and give my wife a kiss. A kiss that says I love you, but it also says thank you.
Thank you for bringing so much happiness into my life.
After the appointment we head home, but we decide to come up with a fun way to tell the kids what we're having. Ana thinks we should bake a pink cake and cover it up with white frosting.
I think we should just do something balloon.
Ultimately, while being stuck in traffic, we decided to do the cake idea for the kids. Then next week we'll have a barbecue to tell the family, we'll use the balloon idea.
Once we get home, Ana gets a call from Kate, so she excuses her to take the call. I run upstairs to greet my kids, but they're not there.
"Gail!" I call out. "Where's Phoebe and Teddy?" I ask once I find her.
"Game room with Luke and your sister."
"Thank you." I head down to and see the kids playing around with Luke and Mia.
"Are you and aunt Mia really getting married like really really?" Teddy suddenly asks.
"Yup, but not until next year." Luke answers.
"So you're gonna our my uncle?" Phoebe asks.
"Do you want me to be?"
"Yeah!" Both kids answer.
"Then it's settled, I'm gonna be your uncle."
"Are you and aunt Mia gonna have a baby? If you have a baby that makes the baby our cousin right?" Of course, Phoebe was the one to bring that up.
Luke clears his throat obviously caught off guard, it's funny. "Well.. We don't know yet. Maybe in the future."
"Yeah kiddo, maybe in the future." Mia agrees.
I decide to cut in, and greet the kids. "Hello munchkins."
"Daddy!" Phoebe runs first time and give me a big hug. "Daddy when Luke married aunt Mia he'll be uncle Luke and when he has a baby with aunt Mia we'll have cousins!"
I shake my head and laugh. "That's great honey."
"We'll be going now." Mia says. "See ya later big bro." She slaps a kiss on my cheek and walks out holding Luke's hand. He waves goodbye.
"Bye you two. Come on kids, let's have some lunch!" The squeal and run up. "NO RUNNING!"
They laugh and walk instead.
"Hey there you were" Ana says. "Come on its lunch time."
Ana POV
It's the day of the barbecue and we've set up everything. I still think back to a few days ago and laugh at the kids reaction when they found out it's a girl.
"Okay my angels, are you ready to find out if it's a boy or a girl?"
"Yeah!"
"Hi Ana," Sophie comes in. "I just came to get water."
"You can stay sweetheart," I say.
"Take a seat next to Phoebe" Christian adds.
"Sophie! We're gonna find out if mommy is having a girl or a boy!" Phoebe says excitedly.
"Oh I hope it's a girl!" She says.
"Ok ok," Christian chuckles. "We're gonna cut the cake now. Remember pink is girl. Blue is boy."
Ana and I count to three, then cut a piece out.
"PINK!" Both girls yell. "ITS A GIRL!"
"Oh my goodness a girl! I'm having a little sister! We can play dress up and buy her princess dresses like me and give her a crow. Wait, can there be two princesses?" Phoebe looks at Christian.
"Of course."
"Oh my goodness Sophie we're gonna have another girl to play with!"
"I'm gonna go crazy with all these girls Dad!" Teddy says. "So many girls and no guys. This is crazy!"
I try not to laugh at teddy, but it's hard.
"Another girl means I have to protect her from cooties too!"
"That's my boy." Christian says proudly.
As I take a seat to relax, I see the kids including Sophie playing around. Christian is setting up the barbecue which happens to be a lovely sight.
He's wearing shorts and a shirt that outlines all his muscles. I bite my lip thinking about all I want to do to him, but stop. I don't want to be all hot and bothered at the moment. But I've been hot and bothered for hours now. He turns to me and smiles, making his way over here.
"This dress shows off your stomach more, I love it."
I'm wearing a white Summer dress with flats.
"Your shirt outlines all your muscles, I love it." I reply. "Makes me think of everything I want to do to you. Or rather you do to me. I just want to rip that shirt off you." I whisper.
"Hmm.. Is my girl turn on?" I nod. "Need some relief?" I nod once again.
"Come up stairs."
"Not now, the kids are alone here."
"Gail can watch them." He responds the calls Gail over. "Now come."
"I want to.." I murmur. He takes my hand and leads me to our room. He locks the door once I enter it pinning me.
"How wet are you baby?" He whispers in my ear while trailing his hand up my thigh. Slowly reaching the edge of my panties. "Should I find out?"
I nod with a sigh before I feel his fingers slip inside my panties and touching my wet center. I bite my lip looking straight into his eyes. "My girl is ready."
He slips his finger out and leads me to the bed, but stops at the end and slips my panties off. "This is gonna be quick." He gently pushes me back on the bed and climbs over me. His hand reaches his pants button and he slips himself out. Pumping his erection twice before lining up.
"Christian, I'm in no mood for teasing. I've been horny for the past three hours. Just fuck me." I say. And he does, he slams into me hard making me gasp and moan at the same time.
Fuck! That felt good.
His thrust are fast and hard, his bite on my shoulder is gentle but still make me sigh in pleasure.
This is a short fuck. Something for us to release quickly.
He pins my arms above my head and stares into my eyes. He's claiming me, dominating me.
I pant "I'm about to-"
"Not yet." He says hoarsely. "Not until I tell you to."
With one hand holding my arms down, he slips the other one to my pussy and rubs my clit. It shoots pleasure through my body. I moan loudly and thrust my hips up wanting more.
"Christian please.. I need to.."
"You want to come?" I nod. "Hmm.. Maybe wait just one more minute."
He picks up his speed and I can tell he's close. He wants us to come together.
"Now baby, fuck, come with me." He grunts throwing his head and and releasing in me while I come around him.
"Fuck," I whisper. "Oh fuck.. I needed that."
He chuckles and shakes his head. "Well, you should've asked. I like to pleasure my wife you know."
"Well.. My wonderful husband seemed busy."
"My lovely Anastasia Grey. I'm never busy for you." He kisses me sweetly and gets off, fixing his clothes. "I'll meet you downstairs."
He leaves the room, leaving me alone while I clean up and fix myself. Once I'm done, I go back down and I see the family has been arriving. Christian looks over my way and wink, making me blush.
I welcome everyone and finally mom and Bob arrive, seeing they were the only ones missing.
Elliot and Christian start arguing on how to work the grill, but dad steps in and takes charge. Carrick grabs a beer and stand next to him, talking about who knows what.
Phoebe, Teddy and Sophie are playing around, most likely driving Teddy crazy.
Kate sits next to me, smiling from ear to ear. "What?" I asks.
"So you want to tell me first if I'm having a niece or nephew?"
"Ha!" I shove her playfully "everyone will be finding out at the same time."
"Come oooooon" she whines. "Pleaaaase"
"Kate, no." I laugh. "I love you but you'll have to wait."
"Fine fine.." She sighs dramatically. "Oh! I didn't tell you.. Elliot and I are going away next week. He wants us to take a long vacation in freaking Europe! He's taking me to England for a whooooole week. How exciting right?"
"Yes!" I squeal. "Christian and I are surprising the kids with a trip to Disney tonight. We also leave in a week."
"Oh I love Disney! Disney World or Disney Land?" She asks.
"Disney World. Get the whole experience. It's going to be a week of hell for security." I joke. "Christian made Taylor come, of course as security. But we got Sophie tickets too. Gail is going to visit her sister."
"Who else is going security wise?"
"Just Taylor and Ryan." I answer. "Luke is staying behind doing security work at GEH."
Kate nods and relaxes next to me. Mariana takes a seat on the other side and makes conversation with us. A few minutes later Mia joins us. Girl time is always fun.
A few hours later everyone has eaten, drank and eaten more. Christian gathers everyone together and gets a really big light green balloon that was filled with pink confetti. I step up and stand next to him.
"Okay people okay," I say. "Who's ready to know the gender?"
"Who isn't ready?" Elliot jokes.
"First, raise your hand if you think it's a boy" all the men, except Carrick, raise their hand. "So everyone else thinks it's a girl?" They nod.
"Go ahead mommy pop the balloon!" Phoebe days. "POP IIIIITTTT!"
Christian and I laugh, and then I grab a needle. "Ok on the count of three! Here it goes..
1..
2..
3!"
POP!
A whole bunch of screaming and squealing breaks out, then the hugs come.
"ITS A GIRL!" Mia yells.
Hugs continue to come, Christian and I welcome them.
Daddy hugs me tight and kisses me head, congratulating me. Then mom. Carrick takes his turn and whispers "I knew you were giving me another granddaughter." I smile brightly and nod.
The last two to hug me were Michael and Mariana.
About an hour later, everyone is gone. The only ones left behind are dad, Lauren, and the twins. They insisted on helping us clean up a bit.
Christian has Michael hosing down the grill, which is hilarious. They're both wet.
"Can I speak to you really quick?" She whispers in my ear and I nod. I excuse myself with her and head inside, into the living room.
"What's up?" I ask.
"I talked to Zack." She smiles. "He was nervous not knowing how to react to the situation which is why he stepped back a bit. I knew it.. But we talked a lot and he's actually happy. He really likes me. Well.. Loves me. He told me the day we talked. I think this will really all work out."
"That's great, Mari! I'm glad it it."
"Yeah, he asked me to move into his new place. It's not far away from campus, and not far away from his job. It's perfect actually, so I agreed. I don't want to be in a dorm and pregnant."
"Makes sense, as long as you're sure with this decision."
She nods. "I am." She sighs. "I just haven't told mom or Michael yet. I.. I think mom would be okay, maybe disappointed but she won't freak out as bad as I know Michael will. Zack is his best friend and this will most likely ruin everything. He might even hate me.. I don't know."
"You need to tell them, don't wait so long." I say.
"Ana.. I don't know how to. I can say I'm pregnant but he'll want to know who the father is and that's the part in afraid of. Telling him it's Zack."
"Mariana.. what did you just say?"
Michael..
