Wednesday morning finally arrives. Ana gets up before Christian so she can wash her self up and then get him ready and washed for his doctor's appointment. The past two days he has been in such grumpy moods with his PT, with. people at his work, Taylor, Sawyer and even her. She understands he is frustrated but being mad at everyone who are trying to help you is not the way to go. At least at night she got to have make up sex.
After she is all washed up from the shower she goes and wakes up Christian. He will need to be washed up for today.
" Hey sleepy beauty it's time to get up. Come on big guy we go to the doctor today to find out about how you are healing up."
" I know but I don't feel very well today I just want to stay in bed."
" Christian really what is the matter are you in pain or are you sick sick? If you are in pain you should go so the doctor and check out what is going on. You haven't wanted to get out of bed since this all began. Do you feel like you are getting worse?"
" Ana please I just don't feel good can you just cancel we will go another day. Then why don't you tae yourself into town and shop or something. I am just going to stay here and rest for the day. "
" Ok baby, I will call and cancel, but I am not leaving. I will be here incase you need something or just decide you want to hang out and talk or watch movies. "
Ana runs her fingers through his hair and leans over and kisses first his forehead and then his lips. He doesn't respond he just keeps his eyes shut. She feels a little hurt like he just slapped her in the face. He can't shut her out how dare he shut her out.
" Christian since I don't want to go to town would you rather I just catch a flight and go home then you can sit and stew all you want alone?"
" Hey if that is what you want I don't blame you. I wouldn't want to be here with me either. Have sawyer driver you to the airport. Call me when you get home."
" What are you really saying you want me to go home? "
"Ana I think you said it first. I am just telling you it's fine go home I understand."
Ana gets up and goes into the bathroom and starts getting dressed. She is so upset she starts to cry. She thinks maybe he is becoming depressed. Maybe she should call his therapist in Seattle and see if he can recommend someone for Christian to see here. She wishes he would go to the doctor maybe they would say he could go home and then maybe that would make him feel better. She knows he doesn't really want her to leave so after she is dressed she goes out to the living room and calls the doctor's office. The nurse really insists that he comes in to be looked at. They ask why he can't come in and Ana tells him he says is sick. Ana tries to explain that she thinks he is just feeling stressed over all this change. That Christian can't handle life being out of control. They move his appointment to later in that day but are very adamant about him being throws the phone down on the couch and flops down and looks up at the ceiling wondering how will she get him up and moving later. He is a lucky man she cares about him and his health. She feels for him she knows this kind of thing hurts him.
She gets up and goes into their room and she sees him still asleep on the bed. Maybe his isn't feeling well. She doesn't want to fight with him. she goes over to the bed and cuddles up next to him. Lays her head on his chest and just lays with him. She has had to be so strong for him that she starts to cry she hasn't really cried this hard since he was first injured. She knows one day soon her strong Christian will be healed and strong again.
As Christian starts waking up again he feels Ana next to him but more importantly he hears her crying and he knows what he had said to her was very hurtful. He doesn't want her to leave. She is the only person he needs stop her tears. and yet he hurt her so badly. He takes his arms and pulls her closer to her and starts stroking her hair.
" Ana, baby, I am sorry please forgive me for being such a self centered feeling sorry for myself Ass. I never want you to leave you are the reason I am here and am doing so good. I want to heal for you. Please forgive me."
Ana holds him tighter and She tries to control her crying and tears. " Oh, Christian I do o forgive you. I knew you didn't mean it. Baby, I know you are frustrated but please remember I am on your side. I understand they way you are feeling and I want to be your comfort. Please don't do that to me again don't shut me out. If you need a moment where you just want alone time just tell me I will let you have your moment. Christian I know how you are and how you operate. I know how hard all this is for you. As it can be hard on anyone. Just promise me to let me be your partner. "
" Ana I promise honey. Please believe me that I will never try to push you away again. "
" Christian I couldn't get your appointment canceled. I tried they did push it to later today. But they really felt you should come in and be seen. I will need to wash you and change your bandages still today. I am sorry I couldn't get this changed for you. "
" Ana, you don't need to be sorry. I a glad you tried. It's ok. Baby I can't wait for you to put your hands all over my body. You bring me so much pleasure. " He smiles at her in a wolfish way.
Ana laughs at him and she smiles and kisses him. " Welcome back Mr. Grey. I am so happy to see you again. Now let me help you relax and then we will go get you washed."
Christian smiles as Ana starts slowly kissing him down his body and stops and slowly inserts him in her inside her mouth. He puts his head back and eyes closed. He takes hold of her hair. This is how she relaxes him and she is so very good at it.
When Ana is done she looks at at Christian and says. "Feeling better Mr. Grey?"
" Miss. Steele Come here you have pleasured me now I think I owe you such pleasure. Lay on your back baby. Christian turns over slowly on his front and moves down between Ana's thighs and begins his sententious torture of her body.
Ana finds her release and feels all the tension that was her body that she didn't know was there relax. Christian knows just how to treat and touch her body that makes it feel alive and feel in ways she never knew possible. She loves him for so many reason but yes this is one of the reason. He makes her ignite passionately.
After Christian's shower he is sitting on the bed as Ana redresses the incision. She leaves the bandages off as she rubs his shoulders.
" Christian your back is looking really good. The stitches have started to dissolve and it looks to be healing really good. That is a good thing. I love looking at your sexy back. Well today maybe will find out if you need another operation. Also I know you want to ask about going back to Seattle. Baby I am ready to go home too. My new home with you."
" Yes your new home with me we will get you out of that apartment and in with me as soon as we get back. I am so ready to have you with me every waking moment of my life for the rest of our lives. "
"Christian Can I ask you a question? You mentioned building a house on the sound? Is that something you really think you might do?"
" Yes, I do I want us to have a beautiful home. We need a place that is just ours that we can build memories in together. I want to give you the house of your dreams."
" Christian anywhere with you will be my dream home. I would love for us to start our lives in a new home but, I like Escala as well so don't feel like you have to do this."
" Baby, it's not what I have to do it's what I want to do. I am starting my life with you and I want us to have a beautiful place to grow together. "
" That sounds wonderful and one day start a family. I want to give you everything as well. You deserve it because as much as you give me. "
Christian decides to ignore the family remark. " Baby you give me everything just by looking at me. I can be suck a jerk but here you are loving me. "
" I will always love you. Even when you are being a jerk. " Ana laughs. " Now let's get you dressed and I will make us some lunch."
On the way to see the doctor Christian is very quiet he is a little nervous. He doesn't want any more surgeries so he can start strengthening his legs and back and start walking again.
" Christian is it alright if I make an appointment with a photographer for our photos you mom called to today and asked if we had looked at some. I told her we had discussed it."
" Ana yes we will finalize something tonight and then we can call in the morning. But, I think if we can go home we should take them at home. Maybe at Grey house and with Charlie Tango."
" Ok well maybe some outside places as well. We could take pictures by the sound maybe at your parents house. " Ana grabs his hand. " Don't be nervous about today I am with you and we will get through anything together."
" Thanks Baby, here we are I guess we will soon know what we are facing. I am sure it will be good." Christian takes Ana's hand and squeezes it.
The doctor has agreed to transfer Christian's care to a Physican in Seattle so he can go home and in then he can keep progress on his healing and see if a second surgery will be needed. At this point the doctor thinks they maybe alright with out one. He will also continue Physical therapy as well. Christian is happy to hear that he can go home.
Before they leave the hospital he has a PT session there instead of at home.
" Mr. Grey your back and legs have increased in strength. Let's go see if we can put some weight on your legs how they do. "
He puts Christian in the middle of two bars and tells him when he is ready to grab the bars with his hands and then pull himself up and then come to a stand. He instructs him not to let go of the bars of he will be stable. Christian pulls up and stands for the first time in two weeks. His legs seem to be very unstable and it's still hard to feel them fully to stabilize them so he can stand. Not very long and he has to sit.
" That was really good. When you meet with your new PT they will have you try each time to stand and increase the time you can. Start doing some leg exercises sitting down and that will strengthen them and then your stability will be easier and walking will soon become easier. It will also happened as your back heals and if you need another surgery. The nerve damage is affecting your legs at this moment. But it will improve. "
On the way home Ana looks over at Christian, " Are you excited to go home? It seems like you are on track to heal. That is good don't you think."
" Yes I am excited to go home. I think we will have Taylor to set up the jet for us and we can get our things together. I would like to be home no later than the week end. "
" Ok that sounds good. Next week you see your new doctor and PT. I am glad you get to go home because you want to be there and you may heal better being in your place that you are more comfortable."
" Yes I think you are right being at home is what I need."
Back at the house Taylor makes arrangement with Stephen the pilot to have the jet to Aspen by Friday. Christian goes into his office to work and lets them know he will be back in Seattle on Friday but will need work from home. Ana is in there bedroom picking up there things and packing them. Even though the accident happened she still loved being with Christian everyday. She enjoyed taking care of him.
Ana hears her cell phone ringing. " Hello."
" Anastasia, this is Grace how is everything? "
" Grace it's good the doctor's think Christian is really making improvements we are coming back to Seattle this Friday. He just wants to be home. We have set doctors for him there. "
" Good I am glad you all will be home. Have you had a chance to have photos taken? Elliot's and Kates are going to be beautiful they should be in the paper soon.
" Christian wanted to have them taken in Seattle so we have to set something up when we get back. He wanted to do it at your place with the sound in the background. Would that be alright? "
" Yes of course that will be alright. I will call the family photographer and have him schedule for next week. Or with your work would the week end be better? "
" I haven't decided what I am going to do about work. So go ahead and set it up anytime."
" Ok Ana dear I will do that and then call you this week end when you are home and let you know the day and time. "
" Thank you Grace talk to you soon." ***
" Ana can you come into my office for a second please baby?"
" Yes Christian I will be right there. "
" What is it Christian can I get you something?"
" No sit down I need to ask you something?"
Ana sits down across the desk from Christian. It seems weird but it reminds her of the time she meet him doing an interview with him.
" Ana I know you have been going back and forth about going back to work. Well you know there is that Senior editor position open. I really think that is something you would want to do and love. Why don't you apply for it and get it a chance. Don't drop your career goals for me or because of me. I want you to have a full life and lived every dream you can. "
" Christian there was a time a couple weeks back that I thought about applying but then we came here. Your accident happened and you asked me to marry you. If you don't have to have another surgery there is about 4 weeks and then you could possibly go back to work. I want to make sure you are watched after in that time. "
" Ana I can hire a nurse for when you are not here. Or I can manage while you are at work. I am getting more self sufficient everyday. Please just apply for the job and then make up your mind. I just feel like you are giving up a lot for me and I don't want you to resent me one day. "
Ana gets up and walks over to him and sits in his lap. " Christian I don't feel like I am giving up too much. I am gaining you and you are my life. Ok I will apply. I think my resume is saved on your computer so I will send it tonight after you work. "
" Ok good yes just apply. You are a very smart woman and they would be crazy to pass on you."
" Christian I love your faith in me. It makes me feel like I can do anything. But, right now I am going to see what I can make us for dinner. What time do you think you will be done with work?"
" I will try for 5:00."
" Ok Mr. Grey see you then." Ana kisses him and then gets up and walks out to the kitchen. I wonder why Christian is so insistent on her going for that job. He better keep his noise out of the process. She would want to be hired for her skills not because she is marrying the companies new owner. She has asked him before to stay out of her work affairs and he has promised and she believes Christian would keep that promise.
Ana is preparing the salad she has already got the pasta going and the sauce. She has added some meat because Christian loves meat sauce. She has garlic cheese bread baking and has finished grating the fresh cheese. Tomorrow will be there last day here and then they go home and Ana will move in with Christian and she will need to get in wedding planing mode. She decides to call Kate.
" Hey Kate how are you? Have started finding florist in Italy or does the venue provide them?"
Hey Ana well actually they have a wedding planner on site. I sent her a picture of what my dress will be like and that it will be a formal evening wedding and she will send me her ideas. Since we don't live over there they offer her services to get everything done. The we just have to show up and get married. Remember it's June 9th and we will have a rehearsal and dinner on June 8th. I will get your plane ticket. When do you think you will want to fly out?
" Well Kate when are you going? I could go with you or fly with Christian when he heads out. If I go with him I am sure he will use his jet so I wouldn't need a ticket then. "
" True, well I am leaving on June 2nd. I want to be there a week ahead so I can meet with the hair and make up people and decide on my style. I also want some time to unwind and just relax before the big day. When are you and Christian heading home?"
" We leave Friday morning. He really is looking forward to it. This is a great place I don't know why he wants he to leave. But, I guess there is no place like home. I am just afraid he will try to sneak off to work once we are in Seattle. "
