After I take my family out for a wonderful morning out and send Ana off to work, I take some time out from my busy day to hang out with my son, normally we have Angela watch over him with her experience in child care since working for her step-sister Michelle. I never liked the woman but Angela called her family. We have a fun filled day at Seattle Great Wheel then to the Seattle aquarium to see the Sea turtles. He loved a day with his dad, anything he pointed to he got weather it a stuffed bear or a t-shirt he got it all. I love my boy I was more excited for Phoebe to come as well, daddy's girl. Hell, she will have own black American Express card by the time she is two! Scooping up my tired little boy into my arms i place him back into his car sit when I get a call from Taylor.

"Yes?"

"Mr. Grey we found him, he was outside Escala this morning when you two came running back I notified Mr. Pratt and Mrs. Pratt to stay inside while we handled the threat."

"And? Was it handled?"

"Sir, Sawyer was bad injuried, but the authorities are lookout for him. I have asked Mrs. Grey to come home immediately, and I hope you are doing the same sir." All of a sudden Teddy gasped and I look behind me. "Yes Mr. Grey, now do as I say or your little boy's blood will be all over the backseat." I gluped, this has gone too far luckily for me, Taylor knows my codes for I am in danger, Taylor was still on the line.

"Taylor?"

"Yes sir,"

"I'm taking the I-95 home, if we get disconnected, tell Ana I love her and I will make sure Teddy has dinner before he gets home." I heard a hitch in his breathing. What I said was, there is a threat in my car, tell Ana not to worry but I love her, and the threat is endangering our son. Help us.

"Yes sir, I will repeat the message. Do you want to get Ana Chinese take out for herself?" He said back meant, I will call the police, how immediate is the threat?

"Yes she needs to eat." Meaning knife to my son.

We knew this would never come into play along but along the way I pissed off alot of women and broke alot of hearts. But sonce Leila broke into Ana's old apartment, I didn't take any second chances. So if it meant we worked out code to make sure nobody got hurt then yeah our code was dumb but it got the point across. "Ok, do you want Teddy to have some food too?" Then Teddy yelled from the back as we turned onto the main street back to Escala.

"Uncle Taylor there is man holding something to my neck help!" Pulling up to a red light noticing a cop car to the left of us. I put the car in park and reached for my son's hand while that monster still held a knife to him. "Not to close Grey unless to say goodbye." I looked to see my poor boy was frightened seeing he had wet himself. "Theodore, mom and daddy love you very much and nothing will happen to you, ok?" He nodded as cars started honking the cop even turned on his blinkers I flipped him off in hopes it would piss him off enough to get out of his squad car. He just laid in on the horn. I turned back to the light ahead that had now turned yellow. My Teddy was scared and this monster had a knife to his throat. I will kill him with my bare hands just not now and not here. I look over as the cop makes his way over to us. Finally. I roll down the window,

"Sir I take an extreme offence that you flipped me off. Why did you do that?"

I thought about an answer that would get me thrown in jail at least get my boy out of harms way and this guy in the trunk out. I clicked the locking button know it wont let you out in the back unless I let you out. I looked up at the cop and while I am anti-drug I said the dumbest line a drug dealer could say.

"You want to make a drug bust? I got like a hundred grams of cocaine and meth in the back here, want some?" I said in the most convincing way, with a smile on my face. Even Taylor must be thinking "What The Hell?" As long as he said on with my son that's all that mattered. The cop didn't miss a beat thank fuck he was a young rookie cop too. "Get out of the car sir! Now! Is that a child in the back?" I grabbed the cop pushed him to the curser "take me down my son is in the back with a knife to his throat he will be killed if you don't help us now." The rookie was smart that or he was wanting to bust me for drugs more. He threw me the handcuffs so quick and had me face down towards the tires of my car so fast I didn't know what happened. The rookie got on the radio as he did the car started moving, "I have a 10-35 with a 10-92. Please send back up and hurry." He got in my car and took the keys and looked behind him, "hey little man what's your name?"

"Teddy, cool name, tell me, oh shit suspect in vehicle, suspect in vehicle! Sir! Take your hands off the child, or I will shoot, take your hands off him, now!" I cried I didn't want my boy to go through this. I went through this, It's hell, I started to cry. "Sir final warning I will shoot!" Then pop - pop. Teddy.

"Get those cuffs off of me! Now! Please, my son. My son! Help me!" I yelled soon more cops came around us. The other door opened and my boy was crying. "Let me get up. Please let me up!" I heard the clicking of the cuffs I didn't even wait for the cuff to be off I just pushed myself off the ground to see the cop who shot the rapist, holding my tear stained boy. Teddy reached for me and I held Teddy. "I thought I lost you. Oh God baby. Oh God." I leaned agasit the cop car while I rubbed my son's back. Serval officers came around asking what had happened and what I did. It would make 6o'clock news, both Ana and Kate would flip. But I just held my boy who now had fallen asleep in my arms. I didn't want this day to go on longer. The Chief of Seattle Police came by and shook my hand and offered me a ride home in his squad car. I looked at the Audi that now will be used for crime scene evidence, I had no sentimental attachment attached to the car but it just meant one less for my crew to use for the time being. I held my son as we were driven home, he need a bath and I wanted to put my son to bed and I wanted to wash his hair, I wanted to be his dad tonight I had to show that no matter what I will always be there for him. Coming home to Escala felt strange. Holding my son even he felt heavy most times felt like he was a light weight. Coming to the penthouse I was met with the first and only greatest love of my life, and Kate Grey. Kate started in first. "What the fuck Grey? You end up in a shooting and you get yourself in handcuffs! Can you not think about BDSM in a time like this?" I look at my wife who was still in her work attire, worry stitched her face but went away the moment I came up holding Teddy.

"Hi Ana how was your day?" I asked to her.

"Better now that you're here." She replied.

Kate was still clucking like the chicken she was. "I'm taking him upstairs to change he had an accident, so I will change and bathe him tonight, where's Angela?" I looked for the glowing big bellied woman.

"In her room Grey with hunky eyes with her they haven't left that room all day even when you came on the TV. They just stayed there." Kate chucking hot air now. Ok time to put Mrs. Kavanagh in her place.

"alright you, I have just about had enough with you and your snarky attitude, I had a relaxing day right about I saw my sister's rapist sitting in the back with a knife to my son's neck, so I get your here for moral support but your job of good friend is done! Now go home to my ex-womanizing brother and chuck his head off, and leave me to my family alone!" Both Kate and Ana stood there stunned as I took Teddy up the stairs to room and drew a bath for him. Ana came bolting in as I was putting Teddy in the water.

"Excuse me but where do you get off talking to my friends like that? I don't talk to Angela like that."

I sighed as I looked up her and glaced at a spot at the tub she would come and join me for bath time sometimes or I would with her. Either way it was a team effort with our son. Nothing was half assed. She came down to my level and took off her blazer and rolled up her sleeves. I put extra bubbles in Teddy's tub tonight knowing he would get anything he wanted at this point.

"Okay first, Kate maybe your best friend and my sister-in-law, but she doesn't have the right to bite my head off as soon as I walk in the door. That's your job, second, I told Taylor what to tell you in order for you not to worry, we talked about this when we had issues with Jack and Leila. This is almost old hat now. And third, Angela, Teddy and I are going to see Flynn tomorrow morning, can you please take Teddy in first, to talk to the good doctor?" She nodded.

"I can,"

"ok and forth. I will sleep with you tonight, but I want Teddy with us in case he has a night terror himself. We should keep a change of linens out in case he wets the bed." She nodded. "Hey," she looked up while playing with Teddy while I washed his hair. I took my sudsy hands and grabbed her head with her hair in the way, I kissed her. That electricity was still there. I loved her like the day she fell in my office, she was all mine. "I love you Christian."

"I love you too Anastasia." I watched her walk out and I finished watching my boy and rubbed him down in his favorite towels.

"Daddy, what about my new frog can I sleep with him?" I closed my eyes there was a bag full of our treasures I left them in the car. "Buddy, they were taken away for the Police to look at to see if there was any blood on them, but we can get a new frog tomorrow, okay?" It was past his bed time, but I watched my tried boy nodded and yawn. I pulled out my favourite book as a child 'are you my mother' by Dr. Seuss, I laid him to rest and began reading. I would let him rest until I talked to Ana and Angela about moving forward tomorrow, now that Angela's monsters were all gone I wanted her to work through all the emotional baggage. I turned after my reading to find Nicolas standing by the door.

"I guess you want us to leave Grey?"

"no I want you all to stay for a few days until this all blows over." He nodded.

"question what was the cop's name that shot Dr. William?" He quip

"I don't know, Sullivan, I think." Recalling the cop never gave his name just slapped cuffs on me and pulled me to the ground.

"You're not the only one with connections Grey, I heard what went down on the wire. Trust me the guy who got him was a Ex-Canadian Mountie who owed me a favour, I just wish your son wasn't in the back." I nodded

"Me too" I looked to my sleep little bear. "Do you think he will be ok?"

"Maybe, Maybe not, but then Angela was raped by a man she confided in, and she turned out ok, minus a demon or two, but you just place your bets on he seeks help and hope it doesn't mess with him later in life. I hope for your sake it doesn't." He patted my shoulder. "by the way the blonde who has no respect for boundaries is one to talk. She won't shut up of how bad a dad you were for what when down."

"you mean Kate?"

"yeah she walked in while I was well you know." He let out a coy smile.

"Got it,"

"well she came in looking for Angela and well, you should invest in locks on that door!" Pointing to the guest room.

"yeah, she can be a little intrusive."

"A little? I was scared she was going to get measuring tape out!" He joked. And for the first time in about a few hours I smiled at my brother in laws humor. At least the tonight's late dinner will have some interesting stories of what happened before we got to the ugliness of the day. I came down with Nicolas and saw Kate had vanished, but there stood Ana and Angela, Angela in her jeans that Ana got with her and an oversized hunter green sweater. Ana wore her plum simple dress that showed the smallest bump. "what's going on?" Nicolas turned to me.

"Well you were almost getting shot up, I made a few calls and we are going to stay here but I arranged a limo to take you two out, as a thank you for taking care of Angela and don't worry it's all taken care of. Just go have fun, we can take care of Teddy tonight." I looked at my jeans that not looked like they were ready to be thrown out. "ok give me five minutes." I stepped out and got changed, I never had a night out before like full taken care off by anybody but for this. This was a sign of Respect from Nicolas. He trusted us with his life, and in return he was giving us a night off of being parents. We walked out a few minutes later and were whisked away on a magical night with the events of earlier not bothering us. I knew our problems would be waiting us when we got home, but for now, we needed this. We needed us time.
