Ana woke up and went to take a shower. It had been so hard, so sad without Christian. She felt so bad now that she was lying to him but what could she do? Continue living with the man she loved but who is with her just because she is pregnant? She couldn't believe it, but the facts were speaking for him. She had her pride, and she wouldn't beg him to be with her.
She got back to her bedroom and put on a tee shirt. Christian's tee shirt. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't find her – she had been travelling to London using her middle name – Rose. She was alone. And she knew she would be as long as she lives here.
How could she ever move on?
She was thinking of going out later when the doorbell rang. She didn't know who it could be, so she went to the door and didn't open it at first. "Who's there?"
"Ana, open the door."
Christian. "I don't want to see you."
"Ana, please! I can explain everything. It was a lie, Anastasia! I am begging you. I won't leave until you let me tell you what happened the day you left."
Since she knew Christian, there was no point of not letting him in.
"Ana.." He wrapped his arms around her as soon as she opened the door. Even though she wanted to do the same, she couldn't.
But when they walked to the couch and Christian told her everything, she wanted more than just wrapping her arms around him.
"She just said she would kill herself. I thought that lying about us wouldn't hurt anything. I love you so, so much. And even now, when we lost our son - "
"Oh, Christian," Ana said as she took his hand and placed it on her stomach. "Ouch," she groaned as their child kicked her hard. "I think this is proof he is here, and may God never take him away from us."
"So there was no…?"
"Kate said that it would be the only thing that would make you not search for me. I am sorry, Christian, that it turned out like this."
"I am sorry, Ana. You can't even know how much I love you. And I will never, ever leave you," Christian said and gave Anastasia a loving kiss.
Finally. Nothing would separate them now.
"Christian," Ana said as she pulled away from him. "Would you like to go out for a walk? I want to see this city since we are here."
"Oh, let's do something else first..." Christian seductively said as his hands went under Ana's tee shirt.
She giggled but then the giggles turned into moans as they made sweet love.
"I still don't know how you managed to travel out of the states unnoticed. "Christian said with Ana in his arms a few rounds later.
"My middle name, Grey."
"Rose?"
"Yes, I was Rose Steele." Ana said as she laid her head on Christian's chest, she was so happy now. So happy to be with him and so happy it all was a lie.
"I don't like it."
"You prefer me as Anastasia Steele?"
"I would prefer Anastasia Rose Grey."
Ana immediately changed her position and stared into Christian's eyes, but then he got out of the bed and took something from his jacket pocket.
"I bought this a few weeks ago and I've been carrying this with me just in case I found the right moment," he said and got back to the bed. "And now, I think, is the right moment."
Ana just smiled brightly as he opened the little box.
"Anastasia Rose Steele, you are my first girlfriend. My first real lover. My first pure kiss. My first everything. What was before you is nothing. You are everything to me. You are the reason I can argue with my family, you are the reason I live, Ana. I love you. I love him (touching her bump). I love our future kids. Please, will you do me a honor and become my wife?"
"Yes, Mr. Grey," Ana said as she kissed Christian, not caring about anything else. There she was: with the man she loved. And he loved her. And their son.
"I love you, soon to be Mrs. Grey."
"I love you, too."
