AN: Here's a new chapter. I hope you enjoy.
"Christian?" I call as I walk in to the kitchen. I see him sitting on at the table with Elizabeth in one hand and his phone in the other.
"Hmm?" He hums as he reads over his emails. I giggle as Elizabeth accidentally hits his plate of food in front of him causing his eggs to fly everywhere.
"Lizzy! That's not very nice baby girl!" I try to scold her but, Christian just looks her and smiles. I roll my eyes and shake my head. My boyfriend was totally whipped by my daughter.
"So your mom wants me to spend the day with her. Do you think you could watch Lizzy?" I open the fridge and take out the orange juice. His mom would be here any second and I was pretty sure we'd be getting breakfast together.
"Of course I'm glad you and my mom are getting along." He looks up and smiles at me. I feel my self blush and shrug my shoulders.
"Your mom is the nicest woman I have ever met. Thank you for watching Lizzy." He rolls his eyes as he stands up. Walking towards me Lizzy start clapping in his arms. I can't help but smile and reach out for her.
"I got this Ana. I can watch Lizzy and you look absolutely beautiful by the way." He gives me a kiss and I look down at my outfit. I'm wearing a simple white dress with black red bottoms. To say Christian spoiled me would be an understatement but, he wouldn't take no for an answer. I wanted to go back to school. I hadn't brought that up to him yet.
Another month has passed since we saw Elena and surprisingly we haven't heard anything from her. I was starting to think that Christians parents had something to do with that. Walking towards the door I grab my jacket and hand Lizzy back to Christian.
"I love you christian. Bye babygirl momma loves you."
"Bye momma." Lizzy and Christian say at the same time. I laugh and blow them kisses before walking out the door.

Grabbing the baby bag I put a juice box, some fruit, and a PB&J sandwich inside. I wanted to make sure I had everything packed for our day out. I had decided to get Lizzy some swimming lessons. Her doctors seemed to think it would help her control her movements. So today was her first class. It was a private lesson so she wouldn't feel over whelmed.
Lizzy was now abut 26 months old. Her talking was growing by the day and she could walk like a pro now. Ana and I were so proud of her accomplishments. The doctors were even saying that by the time she hit five her disability wouldn't even be noticeable at this rate.
Walking in to the living I pick up her jacket and sit on the couch.
"Come on Lizzy lets get your jacket on. You have your first swimming lesson today." She looks up from her spot on the floor and gives me the cutest smile ever.
"Cristin Swim too?" I smile as she talks to me. I loved hearing her speak. It showed me how blessed we were everyday that she was getting better.
"No, Lizzy. You are swimming and I am going to watch you." I slip her arms into her jacket and pick up the baby bag. I look down at her as she hold her arms out to me.
"You don't want to walk princess?" I was trying to get her in to the habit of walking more. Usually she didn't have a problem with it unless I was around. She always wanted to be carried by me. It was actually adorable and I couldn't say no.
"No." She whines as she holds her hands up. Chuckling I bend down and pick her up in my arms.
"If momma asks you walked silly girl." I peck her nose as she giggles and answers me with a "k." I head out to the elevator. I go straight to the parking garage instead of the lobby since Taylor wasn't with me today. He was with Sophie at her moms house. She had gotten sick and I gave him the time off. Now that Lizzy was in my life I couldn't imagine not being with her if she ever got hurt or sick.
After making sure her carseat was secure I head out. The driving to the pool wasn't far. It was only five minutes from our house. I hadn't told Ana about today but I knew she trusted me with Lizzy. After our talk at my parents house she considered me to be a father figure. I was ecstatic that she trusted me enough. I only had their best interest at heart. I would tell her tonight when she got home anyway.
Pulling up to "Safe N Sound Swimming" I park my car. Getting my bags and Lizzy out of the car we head inside.
"Welcome to Safe N Sound how may I help you?" A young girl greets us at the front desk. Lizzy smiles and says hi reaching out to shake her hand. I can't hold my laughter in as she does this. She's been shaking peoples hands since she saw me do it when I brought her to work with me one day last week. Ana swears its the cutest thing ever. Now that I actually see her doing it I agree whole heartedly. She was so advanced for her age and I was starting to think she needed to be in a prestigious pre-school. The kind where all the baby genius's go.
"We're here for my daughters swimming lessons." I tell the girl as Lizzy leans her head on my shoulder. Smiling at us she hands me the sign in sheet before telling me where the lessons are held.
After signing I head towards the back. I sit on the bench near the pool. Setting Lizzy down I take off her coat and clothes. She already has her swim suit on underneath. I set her stuff to the side as the her instructor comes our way. She's a petite blonde with brown eyes. I see her eye me up and down and I try my hardest not to roll my eyes. I mean like really? I'm here with my child.
"You must be Mr. Grey and this must be Elizabeth! I'm Mrs. Johnson. Are you ready to learn how to swim?" She bends down to Lizzy's level giving her a smile.
"What exactly will she be learning today? I know you have a special curriculum for kids her age." I ask just to be sure. I knew Lizzy was excited but I also knew she sometimes would freak out if something seemed to scary for her.
"Today we're going to get these "Floaties" on her and were going to do some kicking and blowing bubbles. The simple stuff until she turns three. Then we'll move our way up from there considering her case is special." I nod as I hear her speak. I was happy with that arrangement.
"Okay princess ready to start?" I ask as I look at Lizzy. Smiling she nods and grabs Mrs. Johnson's hand. Laughing she takes Lizzy to pool steps and puts on her swim vest and arm floats. I sit back and relax as I watch my daughter start her first lesson.
APOV
We pull up to the hair salon and I turn to look at Grace. We just had a day full of shopping and she decided we both needed a new look. I was okay with that until now.
"Why are we at Esclava's? Isn't this Elena's?" I look at her in confusion. She just smiles and shakes her head at me.
"Not anymore its not. I own all of these establishments now." My mouth drops open in awe and she just laughs as she gets out the car. I knew Grace promised that Elena wouldn't get away with what she did to Christian but, I had no idea she went this far.
"Wait! What do you mean? What happened to Elena?" I call after her as I try to catch up. Walking in to the salon she sits me down in a chair and takes the one next to me. Two men walk up to us.
"Hello Grace it's so nice to see you again! What can I do for you?" I see Grace smile as she turns to the young man behind her. I block her out as my hairdresser walks up to me.
"I'm Franco you must be Anastasia. I've heard great things about you from Grace." Franco smiles as he shakes my hand. Still in a whirlwind from Graces news I just smile back not really knowing what to say.
"So what can we do here?" I look in the mirror and contemplate what to do. Christian has only been with brunettes (besides that troll) and he's told me why. I wasn't sure I felt comfortable being a brunette knowing that they reminded him of his mother and all of his other subs. Smiling shyly I look towards Franco.
"Can we do a dirty blonde? Like a Cara Delevingne." I bite my lip nervously as he stares at me. Breaking out into a smile he grabs my shoulders.
"Hell yes girl. You are going to look fab. Christian won't know what hit him." He winks at me and I let a deep breath. I hoped Christian would like it because I think it was time for a change. I wanted our pasts to be behind us for good.
An hour later I'm staring into the mirror combing my finger through my silky hair. I smile to myself. I look hot. Turning to Grace and Franco I hold my hands out.
"So, what do you think?" I question them.
"All I have to say is I'm fucking amazing at my job." I laugh and roll my eyes at Franco before looking at Grace.
"Ana you look gorgeous! Christian is going to die when he sees you." Grace and I laugh as we nod our heads. Christian was definitely going to be shocked.
So Grace has obviously gotten rid of Elena we just don't know what the hell has happened yet. Thats going to be interesting and now Ana has gone and done a huge make over lets see how Christian handles that. Oh and make sure you guys DONT forget about Ana's "friend" Alison cause she's important. She will be back. So tell me what you think. How do think Christian will react to Ana's make over? What the hell did Grace do to Elena?
