Holding my breath I wait for Christian to respond. Would he be mad? Would he blame me for Elizabeth's disability? I was at fault after all and I wouldn't blame him for saying so.

"I'm so sorry Ana." He whispers. I'm dumbfounded. He's sorry? Why would he be sorry. I had done everything wrong. I had gotten involved with drugs and now my child was suffering because of me.

"Please don't hold back your anger Christian it's not going to be healthy for our relationship."

Where was this thing going to put us? Would it set us back? I stare at him and see his beautiful gray eyes looking back at me. I can see the anger on his face and the blood rushing to his cheeks. This was the reaction I was expecting.

" No one is holding anything back Ana...I care about you in ways that I can't even explain when I just met you! The fact that your daughter has some disability because of drugs that you were taking is sad. It's heartbreaking but I'm not here to judge you. I'm here to support you." I wipe my tears away as I listen to him speak. He was right in everything he said. It was heartbreaking that my daughter was suffering in my eyes at least. Did I really need someone to pick out all my flaws and wave it in my face that I had fucked up? No. Christian knew that I just needed someone to be there for me and that was it. At this moment I couldn't have been more grateful for him if I tried.

"Thank you Christian." I blush and instantly feel embarrassed as he laughs.

"I'll never get over that blush." He says.

" I hate it."

"I love it." He walks over to me and gives me a kiss on my forehead. I smile at this and watch him head to the living room with my daughter. I follow him trying to take Elizabeth off his hands. He must be tired from work anyway.

"It's really okay Christian I'll take her upstairs." I say reaching for her again.

"Not a chance I need some time with Elizabeth. You go read or something." He laughs as he shoos me away. I smile while shaking my head and head upstairs. Who was I to give up some alone time? Lizzy never had a dad so her whole first year I juggled a lot with her and working as a sub. It was worth it but sometimes I really wished I could get a day to myself.

I was happy that Christian felt comfortable enough to watch her and give me that time.

I smile at Elizabeth as she plays on her mat. I probably have bought her a whole toys r us worth of toys and I knew that Ana didn't approve.

I chuckle as I think about Ana. She really was something else. She hated gifts. I loved to give them. She craved love and attention. I rejected all things that even resembled love. We were polar opposites but maybe that gave us a greater chance of working this thing out.

Getting on the floor I lay across from Lizzy as she tries to crawl towards me. I smile and cheer her on. I knew Ana was upstairs right now after our talk probably blaming herself for Elizabeth's disability. It was sad but it was fixable. I already had the best doctors in my thoughts that could handle her case. I would make sure that Lizzy would be walking, talking,and running without a problem.

"You're going to be alright Lizzy. Don't worry about a thing." I say as I gently play with her tiny fingers. She was gorgeous just like Ana. I should be terrified really. Taking in a girl and her kid barely knowing her, but I wasn't. I wanted this for reasons I wasn't really sure of. I just knew that they had a place in my life somehow.

Rolling on to my back I pick Lizzy up and play "helicopter" with her. It was my favorite game growing up. My dad would lay like I was and hold me in the air while pretending I was plane. He would "fly" me around and bring me down last second to blow raspberries on my stomach. I didn't know much about kids so I was just going off my memories.

I sit up once I hear the door to my penthouse open. I see Taylor and already know something's wrong. Picking up Elizabeth I walk towards him.

"Sir Elena Lincoln is in the lobby." He says.

"Who's Elena?" A voice asks. I turn around to see Ana standing by the kitchen counter. Cursing under my breath I count to ten. How the fuck was I going to explain this right now?

Here's another chapter this one is short sorry school is back for me but I promise the next one will be longer.. Elena is in this story yes she will be annoying but my Ana is different so no she won't be letting Elena cause problems lol but Christians hasn't told Ana about his time with Elena so this should be interesting considering Ana has a child and she might have strong feelings about what Elena did. please review I love all you guys
