Hope you like the chapter!

i have to say that you have persuaded me - Ana is not going to lose the baby! :))

As it lately happens, edited by icalyn! :)

"Good morning." Ana was shocked to see Christian at the table so fresh and…happy.

"Good morning," she shyly said.

"Come, sit here with me." Christian offered her the seat next to him and Ana took it, trying to not show her happiness. She was crazy and stupid, but she just couldn't control her feelings for Christian.

"Thanks," she said as Christian handed her the tea that Gail had already managed to make her.

"How are you feeling?" Christian asked as he put away his phone. He wanted to have his full attention on Anastasia.

"I am feeling good, thanks." She was not really ok; she was feeling strange. She was with the man she loved, but then again, they were just…she didn't even know what they were now.

"Ana, I thought about something yesterday…" Christian started as he looked in Anastasia's eyes. "Would you like to have a dinner with me?"

She couldn't help but smile at the question, he had even laughed at that. They couldn't deny their feelings anymore.

"I would like that." Maybe she was stupid. He had left her and didn't even call once, but what if… Someone always had to forgive. She was no better; she hadn't told him about his child. Maybe they needed to start again from the beginning.

"Do you have any other plans for today?"

"I thought about seeing Ray. He doesn't know yet about the baby, and I think it is time to let him know."

"Can I accompany you?" Christian's words were what she wanted to hear. She had been so afraid of what her Dad would say when he learned she was left pregnant and alone. But now she was no longer alone. Or she at least hoped so.

"Christian, what are we going to tell my Dad?"

"Anastasia," Christian takes her hand, "we started completely wrong. From the very beginning I have had something for you. And now the fact that you are pregnant is more important than the fact that you are Elliot's ex. You might hate me, but I couldn't see you because I had promised Elliot and my family I wouldn't have anything to do with you. We wanted to forget you. It was really hard; I actually couldn't do it. And even though there is so much you don't know about me, and I am so scared of being a father, I am happy that I followed my mother and got to know about you. Now I have a reason to not forget you, now we have a reason to start all over again. We will tell your dad that its parents will raise this child and this child will be loved by us. And I hope this new start will lead us to so much more than it was the last time." Ana already had tears in her eyes. Maybe it was her time to be happy.

"Thank you so much."

They ate breakfast together and then Christian drove them to Anastasia's Dad's house. He was pretty nervous as they knocked on the door and Raymond Steele opened it.

"Annie!" Ray said as he saw them. "And look at this, is this what I think?" He laughed, making Ana blush. If only her dad knew…

"Daddy!" Ana thought of giving him a hug but it was a risk since she wanted to tell him about her pregnancy, not let him feel it first.

"Hello, I'm Christian Grey, I have heard a lot about you." Christian said and didn't even lie. Ana had told him about her parents on the way here.

"Well, I have heard of you, too. Not from my daughter, though," the man said, and Christian even got a little nervous. The man didn't seem to appreciate him, but how could Christian know for sure? This was his first time visiting a girlfriend's father.

"I am sure you will be hearing even more about me," Christian said, and Ray finally invited them in. As they sat down for coffee (tea for Ana), it was finally the time to let Ray know.

"Dad, there is something you should know."

"Oh God, please don't let it be…" Ray sighed, as he watched Ana's hand rub her stomach. "And I guess you are the father!" Ray stood up, and raised his voice to Christian.

"Dad, please let me explain – "

"Annie, go to your room. I want this man to explain something to me."

Ana was afraid because she had never seen Ray so angry, but she followed his order and left Christian there with his father. Christian had dealt with so many situations, but this was new to him.

"Mr. Steele, I have – "

"You have to tell me what you have with Anastasia."

"If I have to be honest, this was not planned, but now we are dating and I promise she will be provided for and well taken care of." Christian knew they would be dating; they would start tonight.

"And in the future?"

Future. He was going to have his first real date with a woman and her father is questioning the future. Marriage? "I promise to take care of her and our child, married or not, together or not, but I really hope that we will work out, and be happy together." Christian was nervous. A child would be a lifetime commitment. Was he ready? Did he want it?

He had stopped his lifestyle thinking he would never see her again. He had offered her home as soon as he learned of her condition. There was something about her. He had ignored Elena's calls with submissive suggestions. He didn't want anyone else. And if Ana would want him all her life, he would be more than happy about it.

"You hurt her, and I promise, I will not leave it alone. I was a cop, and I can make people find something that a court would find you guilty of."

"Mr. Steele, I don't want to hurt her. I really want to be with her."

"You better not mess this up with her. Bring her back out here, but don't stay in her room too long, I will open the door without knocking on it."

Christian wanted to sigh; the final comment was more a joke than something scary. He knew he would take care of Ana, he would do everything he could to make her happy. And not only because she was his responsibility because of the pregnancy, but because she was special to him.
