Ana POV

The time has gone so fast. We have been on the ranch for 2 weeks now on honeymoon and its now time to get back to the city. Christian and I had dinner together and are now lying in each others arms.

"Christian I am sad to be going back tomorrow."

"I'm sorry baby but we have to. I have GEH to run an you have Steele Bound."

"I know its just we have had such a good time. You have been so loving and caring towards me and..." I didn't even finish my sentence and he cut me off.

"Ana, we can always come back whenever you want it's only an hour away from the city."

"I know that. But its just things are so perfect between us and...Oh gosh...I am being a fool never mind."

"Baby, are you afraid that once we get home I am going to change and start acting differently towards you?" A single tear rolls down my cheek and I try to hide it but he is to fast. That is exactly whats being bothering me but I have been to scared to face the truth. All I manage is a nod 'yes'.

"Ana this between us is not some made up story or some weekend fling. This is real baby. I am truly in love with you till death do us path. Going back home will be different but in a good way. It will take us some time to adjust to each other but that's the fun part remember? Getting to know each other. I always want to hold you and kiss you. It's going to be difficult for me going back to work. I don't know how I am going to concentrate knowing you are lying in my bed. I might have to even cut my days short." This makes me laugh.

"Christian I am not going to be lying in bed waiting for you. I have decided to open up a second gym. I have been in contact with your mother and I want to work with coping together to empower kids with the skills to protect themselves. What do you think?"

"Ana you are absolutely amazing I think that is a fabulous idea. I am so proud of you. But those horny teenage boys better keep their hands to themselves. Ana stop laughing this is a serious matter. I am going to have to pre approve your gym outfits as well."

"Oh Christian. Of course you can come and watch some days to prove to you that nobody will be touching what is yours baby. Oh by the way I want to call it GreySteele. How do you feel about that?"

"Ana" I can hear by the tone in his voice he is ecstatic with the idea of me having his surname in there with mine.

"I think that is brilliant. An absolutely fantastic name that represents both of us. I love it."

"That makes me so happy. I will get Elliot's team on it as soon as I find a suitable building." Oh boy I can see the gears moving in that brilliant brain of his then his eyes light up and I am graced with the most stunning smile I have ever seen it's so contagious I can't help but smile myself.

"Christian what is it. Don't make me wait. Tell me." He starts laughing at me. I cant help it.

"Ana you are so impatient. Give me a break to sort this out...Ok. Ana why don't you take the ground floor of GEH it's currently empty. You can get Elliot to design it how you want and security is already in place so that puts me at ease a little."

"Are you serious Christian? You would let me open GreySteele in the GEH building?"

"Of course I would. Having you in the same building as me would make my days go a lot faster and I will know you are safe all the time. Not to mention the kids would be thrilled to be going to gym in such an élite building. And it would mean GEH would be aiding the community. I can see the headlines. "Power couple turning the city around one gym at a time." This make us both laugh and we fall off to sleep in each others arms totally in a state of happiness.

Elliot POV

This has been a fantastic 2 weeks. So relaxing. Ana and I have gone out on a final round on the horses before we all head back to Seattle. We are sitting side by side just enjoying the peacefulness on the ranch.

"Elliot I am so scared to go back. What if things change and he does not want me anymore?" What the fuck is she delirious?

"Ana that will never happen. I can absolutely without a doubt promise you this. My baby brother would lay his life on the line before you ever get hurt let alone abandoned. You are his life Ana forever." She sits there thinking a while trying to process what I have said.

"Thank you Elliot I guess I am just thinking about when Elena comes into the picture again."

"Ana she is just a lying manipulating bitch that preys on little boys." Oh shit that did not come out right. Ana is looking at me shocked waiting for answers. Then she surprises the fuck out of me by saying.

"Elliot she got to you to." Oh shit I know that is not a question but a statement coming from her. I should have fucking seen this coming. I am furious. She got to Christian as well. That's what this whole obsession of his was all about. Just then Christian rode up next to us and notices our expressions. I am furious and battling to control my emotions.

"Hey what's going on here? "Christian asks and I take a deep breath and decide its time to tell them my embarrassing story.

"Listen I am going to tell you'll something I have never spoken about before. Please don't interrupt me till I am done or I wont be able to finish." They both look at me shocked but nod a yes so I carry on.

"I was 14 when Elena baby-sat for mom and dad. They had asked her to watch us for the weekend. Mia and Christian went to bed early leaving me alone with her. She came to me and led me to the furthest guest room in the house. I was so terrified I didn't know what to do or say. She told me if I told anyone she is going to make sure mom sends Christian back into foster care. I was so scared for my baby brother so I let her do what she wanted to me. She took off all my clothes and blind folded me on the bed. I didn't want it but of course being touched in such a sexual way no matter what the mind is saying the body automatically acts. That night she climbed on to of me and raped me over and over. After that she used to make me come over to her house and she used to use toys and belts on me. When I never listened to her she used to punish and humiliate me. It was the worst year of my life. When I turned 15 I had enough of her and I told her if she ever touched me again I would go to the police. I didn't give a fuck anymore. She did not bother me again after that day and now I know why. I left her and she got hold of you Christian." His head shoots up and I can see the pain in his eyes, he has tear stains down his face. Fuck this is killing me.

"Christian I am so sorry. I should have protected you and I didn't. It's all my fault."

Christians POV

Fuck what my brother is telling me makes me sick. He was a good kid and she raped and took advantage if him. I will never forgive her for this. She has messed with he wrong fucking family. He is blaming himself just like I am blaming myself for him.

"Elliot it is none of our faults. Elena is to blame for this. I was 14 and working in her yard clearing rubble. I was always well built and never looked my age. She took me into the house and fed me the same lies about Mia been sent back to foster care. She fucked and beat me up for 6 years. I was so brain washed into thinking she cares for me I could not see the wrong in it anymore. She made me her submissive. One day I done something that she was not happy about and she took me to an out of town sex club and tired me naked in front of a room of strangers and humiliated me. That day I quit been her Sub and started to get my own. Elena would set up the interview and if I was happy with them I would get them to sign a contract stating what they can and can't to. It was like a business relationship with no feelings involved. All I needed them for was a good fuck If they started getting to possessive I would end the contract and find someone else. I lived like that for 6 years 15 subs later. I got to the point were I was so fucking board as hell with them I gave it all up. One year later I met the love of my life and we are happily married."

"Fuck Christian that is some heavy shit bro. I am so sorry you went through all that."

"I know but what's done it done and I am stronger because of it. Ana helped me want more and I do not like, need or want that life anymore. The only thing now is to get revenge on Elena and Matt for targeting my family."

"That's a deal bro. Lets get back home and work on a plan to take the bitches down." This at least breaks the ice and we all laugh.

Ana POV

Just before we get back to the ranch my phone buzzes and I realize its my stable boy.

"Hey what can I help you with." I can hear something is wrong. He sounds panicked.

"Ana we have Sally that has gone into labor. We need you."

"Fuck I am on my way." I explain to Christian and Elliot and ride as if my life depended on it. I scramble off storm and rush into the stables to find Sally battling with her labour. her cries sound so painful.

"Ana what are you going to do?" Christian sounds so out of his element. But I know at this point there is only one option.

"Babe I am going to deliver the calf. Here is my jewelry hold on to it for me."

"Do your best baby." And he gives me a kiss.

"K listen up everyone. Sally has server colic and I am going to have to put her down after I deliver the foal. You guys need to move them into the Vet Clinic and I will go and prep everything for an Emergency C-section if need be.

Men POV

Jose – oh fucking hell. I have seen a lot of mares give birth but never have I witnessed a C-section. This is going to be interesting. I tried to call the local vet for help but he was out of town but his son is on his way. this will make things a little interesting because he has always had a huge crush on Ana.

"Ana I got hold of Ty and he is on his way to help you." She looks up at me and i can see the flicker of uncertainty on her face then she covers it up.

"Thank you Jose I didn't even think of that you are life saver."

"I think that is him now I will bring him in."

Christian – What the fuck has just happened. We were supposed to leave to go home and now we are delivering a foal. I guess this is what Ana is trained for. I finally get to see her in action. I follow her into the clinic and stood back to watch. Who the fuck is Ty? Just then a very well built guy with thick black lock and see blue eyes walks in and Ana's face lights up. They hug and then get straight into talking about the mare and fowl. Why am I feeling so threatened? She didn't even introduce us but I guess time is of the essence here. Fuck I also hate the fact he calls her fucking Steele. Does he not know she is a fucking Grey and to make things even more bad she does not have her fucking wedding rings on.

Taylor – Oh hell fucking no. This is way beyond my ability. Although I am very interested to see the little lady in action but I will just stand back and watch. It's going to be fucking hard on Ana to put the mare down afterwards. Who ever this Ty guy is I can see the boss is keeping a close eye on him. I better stay close to him before he looses his fucking head.

Luke – Shit does the fucking Grey drama ever end. Although Elliot did mention that Ana is a qualified vet so it makes sense she deliver the calf. This is still way out of my league so I will just hang in the yard for now and be surveillance. The boss and Taylor can handle things inside.

Elliot – I have not seen a birthing in such a long time but I can tell this one is different, the mare is dying so Ana and Ty are going to try and get the foal out as quick as possible. I will help were I can. Christian does not seem happy with Ty being here but Ana needs all the help she can get. Yes, Ty has a huge crush on Ana but that was years ago.

Ty- This was very unexpected to get a Call from the Steele's. I didn't even know Ana was on the ranch or I would have visited a while back. I graduated 2 year ahead of Ana and am also a vet but work for my father here in town. When I embrace her its like old times only she looks more grown up and even more sexier than I can remember. I notice a lot of men standing around but I don't have time for that now we have to get the foal out. I notice no wedding ring which makes me relax a bit.

Ana POV

"Ok Ty lets do this." He gets the correct meds and administers the anesthetic and it takes effect almost immediately.

"Good you try and deliver normally while I prep her for emergency surgery. Hopefully we wont need to do the C-section " He nods and we both get to work. Half an hour later with no luck for Ty so I begin my work. I make the long incision along her belly and carefully pull the foal out. Ty breaks the sack and I cut the umbilical cord. I rush the fowl into the heated room and use a soft cloth to clean her off. I put her on to some oxygen and leave Elliot and Jose in there to keep her warm. I go back into the surgery and Ty is just finishing up closing the wound. I nod to him and he smiles at me because he knows the foal is ok.

Ty POV

Wow I forgot what a trill it is to work with such a skilled vet. Ana was brilliant in there. This is only my second C-section delivery but it all felt so natural. She comes back into the surgery and I have just finished up closing the wound. She nods to say the foal will be ok. Now the hard part. I pass her the syringe and I can see she is battling. I take her by the waist and ask.

"Steele do you want me to do this?" She looks at me and I can see she is trying to decide. She looks over at a tall gentleman to the side and he smiles at her and I can tell they have something going. He nods to her and she takes a deep breath. Who the fuck is he? Now I know I don't have a chance with her. FUCK.

"No Ty I will do this." I nod and pass step back to give her space. She kneels down and slowly administers the drug while stroking Sally. She sits like that till Sally is gone.

Christian POV

Why the fuck does he have his fucking hands on my fucking wife? I want to punch his fucking lights out and rip his fucking arms off. Then it happens. My beautiful wife is looking to me for strength and all my fears disappear. She needs me. I give her a smile and nod to say she can do it and I am here. I move closer to be her support. I heard Ty say the horse is gone but Ana is having a hard time walking away. I hold her shoulder and whisper in her ear.

"Ana baby she is gone but that little foal in their needs you." It was like a switch was turned up and she looked at me. Then she shocked me by kissing me in front of everybody. And not just a small peck on the lips a fucking deep kiss that made every nerve in my fucking body stand on end.

"Come Christian come and see the foal. She is beautiful." We go into the room and it seems like she is going to be perfect. The beautiful smile on Ana's face is priceless.
