Christian POV

Ana and I have just fed the babies and it is the most incredible feeling. I am even more happy to know we may keep the babes in the room till we leave. I feel on top of the world till Taylor asks for a word. Luckily for me Ana and the babies are asleep and I don't have to worry about her stress levels.

"Taylor what is it?" He hands me a letter in a plastic packet and as I realize what it is my legs give way. I can feel Taylor support me and say something but I can't get what it is. I finally pull myself together but my gut is tied up in knots.

"Taylor who the fuck would want to harm my Ana?"

"Sir I have worked on this the entire night and come up empty. Whoever it is, is covering her basis."

"How do you know it is a women?"

"If you read the letter she clearly states she is going to be a family with you sir and the babies. She just needs to get Ana out of the way. This is why I have upped security and brought in the land rovers. I had to create a decoy to get us here safely as your chopper has being tampered with." Fuck this is just too much information to process. This is supposed to be a happy time for Ana and I now we have this threat hanging over our heads.

"Ok Taylor I have a plan. Give me half an hour and we are leaving this hospital."

"Sir is that a great idea?"

"It's the only way Taylor. Trust me on this. I need you and Luke on us at all times. As soon as we leave here get the rest of the security to head back to Escala and wait for further instructions."

"Yes sir." I go and check Ana is still asleep and step out for a bit. I pull out my cell and call Elliot for help.

"Hi Bro. How are my 4 favorite people?"

"Fabulous but I need a favor from you."

"Anything."

"Tell mom and Dad not to come down to us we are on our way to you. There has been a threat against Ana and we are not taking any chances."

"Fuck not again. Does this shit ever end?"

"I hope it will and soon. Just do as I say. Please."

"Done. Be safe Christian."

"I will." Ok that is sorted out. Now to speak to the hospital. I find the head of department and ask for an emergency meeting.

"Mr Grey come on in."

"Thank you Pete."

"What can I do for you?" I show him the letter and explain what I need. I know it is a lot to ask but my sizable donations makes it impossible for them to refuse me. I thank him and go back to check on my family.

Taylor POV

I am waiting outside the little ladies room keeping watch. I will not let anything happen to them. A very familiar nurse walks into the room and I get a funny feeling about it. I decide to go with my gut on this one and I sneak into the room to check on the 4 of them. To my horror the new nurse is standing with her back against the wall and Ana is sitting upright in the bed looking straight into the barrel of the gun. Leila I should have known.

Ana POV

I am feeling so much stronger now and I think I am ready to go home. I decide its time to get up just as a nurse comes in. I manage to sit up and glance to the nurse. To my horror she has a gun pointed at me and her finger on her lips telling me to keep quiet.

"Who are you and what do you want?" She smiles at me then removes her blonde wig and I am shocked to see Leila. I should have known she would try something like this.

"You will not lay a hand on my babies do you understand me?" I might sound brave but I am terrified.

"Oh I would never harm these precious little ones. Didn't Taylor tell you that we are going to be a family. I am finally going to have Christian and our babies."

"You are sick Leila and need help. These are my babies and you can't have them."

"Well if I kill you now then you wont be around anymore and they will need me."

"Leila this is Taylor I need you to put the gun down." I glance over to the door and Taylor has his gun drawn to and has it posted on Leila. Before I know what is happening I hear a gun go off then I hear 2 more shots and I feel a terrible pain in my shoulder. When I look down at myself I realize have been shot. I don't care about myself I need to check on my babies. I get off the bed to go to them but realize my legs are still to week and I end up on the floor. This whole scene would have been very embarrassing if I didn't have my sweat pants on instead of the open back gown they were offering me. I am grateful the babies are still fast asleep but then I look up and see Leila lying in a pool of her own blood face down on the floor a few inches from were I fell. I get sick at the sight of it and lose my food all over the floor next to me.

Christian POV

I was trilled with my plans and made my way back to Ana. As I round the corner I can see something is wrong. Taylor is gone and Luke is standing there looking into the room with his gun drawn. I break out into a run towards the room and then I hear 3 gun shots and I feel as if my world is falling apart. My adrenaline is pumping and I am running on pure instincts. I need to protect my family at any cost. I rush into the room pass Luke and freeze when I see Ana on the floor with blood soaking her hospital gown. Taylor is there helping her back into bed and then I glance towards the cots and I realize what went down. There laying on the floor in her own blood is Leila. All this time the treats were from her. I rush to Ana and she breaks down in tears in my arms.

"Christian I was so scared. She s.. she wanted... me... gone." She sobs into my chest and i am feeling so helpless. How could i let this happen?

"I am so sorry I left you baby. She is taken care of now and will never hurt us again. I am here baby."

"Christian I can't feel my right hand." Just then the doctors rush in and confirm Leila is dead. They remove the babies from the room to take them to the nursery and I send Luke and 2 other guards with them. Ana is taken to surgery to remove the bullet and I am left there with Taylor feeling so numb I don't know what to do. A gurney is brought in and Leila is wheeled off. Watching her go gives me such a sense of relief to know this is almost over. It will be all over when my family is home and safe. I stagger over to the couch and sink into it. The next thing I know is I am weeping into my hands and I can't stop them from shaking. All I can think of is once again I nearly lost my Ana. If it was not for Taylor she would have been dead. I cry myself out then compose myself. I need to be strong for Ana. As I come out of the bathroom they wheel my ana in and the doctor informs me she will be fine. The bullet did some damage to her arm so they cast it up to support the healing. Once the cast comes off she will have to get some psycho to strengthen her arm. I am just trilled to know she is going to be ok.

"Taylor we are getting ready to leave."

"Excuse me sir?"

"I said pack all this up we are leaving in the hospital emergency chopper like planned. We are going home. Mom has set up a medial room for Ana to rest in and mom will loo after her. I just need to get her out of here." I did notice all traces of Leila are gone and Taylor gave a statement to the cops. Within half an hour we are being airlifted and my Ana is still out cold from theatre. The doctor tried to warn me to wait till Ana was awake but I couldn't be in that room anymore and neither will my family. After almost loosing it with him he sent me with a team of medics for the trip.

Elliot POV

I don't know what the fuck is going on? I got a call from Christian saying they are coming home then I turn on the telly and see todays breaking news.

'Anastasia Grey has been shot and is in critical condition.' They don't know how she is but do know it happened in her hospital room not long ago. I can't handle this shit. I walk out of mums house to drive back to Portland but am stopped dead in my tracks by the huge emergency chopper setting itself down in mums back yard. I run around and sure enough the medics are removing Ana on a stretcher and Christian, Taylor and Luke all have a little bundle in there arms. I am so relived to see them.

"Christian what happened?"

"Long story bro. Lets get Ana and the babies settled then I will tell you all about it." Christian passes me the bundle from his arms and he follows his wife. So this is why mom was setting up a room. They settle Ana in just as she is beginning to come around.

"Christian." Is all she says and it breaks my heart. This little lady has being through to much.

Christian POV

I have being so fucking nervous this entire trip. The sight of Elliot standing there waiting for us was almost my undoing so to keep the attention off me I passed him the baby and went to be with Ana. She is finally settled and they say all is good.

"Christian." My heart melts when she asks for me in her drugged state.

"Baby I am here."

"The babies?" She sounds so tired it's braking my heart.

"Are all beautiful and perfectly fine. You are fine to." She scans the room and the people standing around and realization sets in and I notice tears running down her cheeks.

"Baby are we home with our family?"

"We sure are baby. I knew you will be better off at home with mom looking after you."

"Thank you." Is all she can manage and mom takes her in her arms and holds a sobbing Ana. I know she has had a hard very traumatic time today and needs to rest. The upside of everything is that finally my family is free from any treats and safe.
