"This was quite a surprise," Christian whispers into my ear.

We are all sitting around the table eating dinner. Grayson, Priscilla, Elliot, and Addison are all sitting with us at the dining room table.

I put my fork down and frown over at him.

"What is?"

"This is the first time in a while that you haven't dragged me upstairs to have your wicked way with me," he smirks.

I blush and look around the table to see if anyone has overheard us, but everyone is eating and not paying us any attention.

I lean over to him and whisper into his ear, "I thought you could use a break."

"I did have a break, I was at work," he pouts.

I chuckle at him and shake my head. "Later."

"You bet you're cute little behind later," he whispers seductively in my ear.

I smile and bite my lip when he quickly nips at my earlobe. He smirks and continues to eat.

"How was shopping? Ana, did you get everything you needed?" Carrick smiles at me while he cuts into his steak.

"Yes, we did. Thank you. We appreciate it," I smile, and Christian takes hold of my hand.

"We're happy to help, Ana you know that," Carrick waves me off.

I smile and take a bite of my mash potatoes. So, good!

"I'm so excited! I cannot wait until he gets here," Addison jumps up and down in her seat.

"I second that," Carrick raises his hand and beams at her.

"Oh! We saw Kate at the baby store today," Addison shakes her head in disbelief.

Elliot stops eating and looks over at Addison with a confused look.

"Why would she be at a baby store?" he swallows hard.

"She said she was pregnant, which was strange because I didn't know she was seeing anybody," Addison shrugs.

Elliot drops his fork and curses under his breath. He suddenly looks agitated. Addison looks over at him with a deep frown.

"What?" she says.

Elliot takes a deep breath and rubs his hands over his face. "Nothing. I just saw her at that party awhile back. I saw her hanging around some guy that night. Maybe it was that guy who knocked her up," he smiles tightly at her.

"The one where I didn't go because I was sick?" Addison asks while taking a sip of her wine.

"Yeah, that one," he says quietly.

I frown at Elliot's odd behavior. What is that all about?

Elliot continues to eat while looking like he wants to murder someone, and Addison stares at him perplexed. The table is quiet, and the silence is starting to become uncomfortable.

Priscilla breaks the awkward silence. "Ana, have you decided on a name yet?"

I immediately smile as I look over at Christian. He smiles back at me and nods. Christian and I have talked about names for a couple of weeks, and we have finally decided on a name for our son.

I smile wider and look over at Carrick who is looking at us expectantly.

"We do. We decided on Carson Carrick Grey," I smile as I place my hand on my bump.

Everybody around the table gasp, except for Carrick whose eyes automatically turn glassy.

Grace clutches her hand to her mouth as tears spring to her eyes. Carrick looks down at his food and clears his throat before speaking.

"Good strong name," his says trying to contain his emotions.

I giggle as Christian smiles at his father.

"It's beautiful," Grace wipes her eyes as everyone around the table agrees.

"Thank you," I smile softly at Grace.

Christian squeezes my hand before he lets go to finish his food.


Twenty minutes later, we are all done with the main course. We sit around the table laughing and talking about anything and everything while enjoying a delicious cherry pie for dessert.

Suddenly, we hear the front door open, and a second later, Jack walks into the dining room. He is wearing a blue suit which means he probably came straight here from work. Oh, great.

Christian tenses beside me when Jack walks towards the table. He looks beyond annoyed.

"Looks like I wasn't invited to the party," he scowls.

I roll my eyes and take a sip of my water.

"We tried to call you, dear, it's hard to get a hold of you these days," Grace sighs.

Jack shakes his head, and his expression softens. "I'm sorry, mother. Work has been crazy lately. I'll try to come by more."

"That would be wonderful. Have a seat. I will get you a plate," Grace beams at Jack and gets up.

Christian's jaw tightens while glaring at Jack.

Jack rolls his eyes and sits down next to Carrick. "Easy, bro. We're family now. We need to learn to get along, wouldn't you say?" He cocks an eyebrow at Christian.

I narrow my eyes at him as Christian snorts but doesn't say anything.

Carrick clears his throat and starts up a conversation with Jack. Grayson turns his head to look at us and gives Christian a nod telling him to let it go.

I rub Christian's back for a second before he relaxes and finishes his dessert. He gives me a small smile and then takes a sip of his water.

Grace comes back into the dining room and gives Jack his plate of food. "Thank you," Jack smiles and digs into his food.

I still don't trust Jack because of what he did to us at the benefit, but since we are all family now, I think it's in everybody's best interest for all of us to try to get along with each other. Very doubtful, Ana.

"So, Jack, how is Leila?" Addison asks overly sweetly.

He stops eating and looks up at his sister. He swallows and takes a sip of his wine before answering. "She is fine, Addison. We haven't seen each other in a few days, but she's doing the same as always."

"Still out shopping with your credit card?" Addison rolls her eyes.

"Weren't you doing the same thing today?" Jack cocks an eyebrow.

"Shopping for our nephew, not for myself," she gestures towards me.

Jack narrows his eyes at her before they land on mine. He stares at me impassively for a few beats before nodding his head. "Congratulations to you both. I mean that."

I stare at him dumbfounded while Christian looks at him skeptically.

"Ah…thank you?" I frown. Um…okay.

Jack nods and continues to eat. I look over at Christian warily before he shrugs and places his hand on my thigh. How weird.

Everybody finishes dessert and Grace offer coffee to anyone who wants it.

I smile at Priscilla who is giggling and cuddling into Grayson's side as he laughs and kisses her neck. Those two are the cutest couple.

I yawn and fight to keep my eyes open while everyone continues to talk around the table.

"Let's go, baby, you're tired," Christian whispers into my ear.

I nod, and we both get up from the table. We say goodnight to everyone before we head upstairs to our room. Before we get to our door, Christian stops and stands in front of the door that is directly beside our room.

"Come on," he smiles as he opens the door.

We walk in, and I smile as I look around the room that later will become our son's nursery. When we got home from shopping, Grayson had one of his workers come over to the house and give us paint samples that have been painted in rows on one of the walls. Christian and I decided on a cool gray color and an animal themed nursery.

"I cannot wait for the final result," I smile and lean my head against Christian's shoulder.

"Me too. Come, let's go to bed," he says as he kisses my temple and leads me out of the room.


When we get to our bedroom, we both start to strip out of our clothes before we head to the bathroom.

Christian walks over to the tub and turns on the faucet. While the tub starts to fill with water, he picks up one of the various bottles of bubble bath that is placed in the basket on the vanity and pours it into the water.

I immediately relax as the smell of lavender fills the air. When the tub is halfway full, he turns the water off and turns towards me. He smiles as he strides over to me.

His lips automatically lock onto mine as my arms go around his neck. Christian's hands fly to my ass and squeeze causing me to moan into his mouth. Our tongues dance with each other for a minute before he pulls away. I pant and grind my core into his erection causing him to moan against my mouth.

"Come on, before the water gets cold," he says before releasing me.

I walk towards the tub and carefully get into the warm bubbly water. Christian helps me sit down before sitting down behind me. I sigh contently while I lean back against Christian's chest.

He gently massages my shoulders causing me to groan. He chuckles and kisses my head. I sit up a little straighter so he can message my back.

After a few minutes, he stops rubbing my back and cups my breasts. I bite my lip and lean back against him. He kneads them with his strong hands, and I moan out loud in pleasure. He starts kissing my neck before gently biting my earlobe.

"Let's go to bed," he whispers in my ear.

I nod, and he quickly kisses my neck before helping me out of the tub. He pulls the plug from the tub before picking up a fluffy white towel from the towel warmer. He helps me dry off before leading me out of the bathroom.

I crawl into the bed while he dries himself off with the towel. I lean back against the pillows and watch him.

When he is done, he throws the towel on the floor and runs his hand through his wet hair. He gives me a wicked smile before slowly walking towards the bed. I automatically spread my legs as he crawls slowly over to me.

Christian stops and slowly shakes his head before gesturing that he wants me to turn around. I bite my lip and turn, so I am on all fours. Before I know it, he has his hands on my hips and is slamming into me and pumping into me at a fast pace.

"Fuck, baby," he moans as he continues to fuck me from behind.

"Christian, harder," I moan in ecstasy at the fast pace, but I want more.

He slams into me harder, giving me exactly what I want. He leans over and starts rubbing my clit causing me to fall over the edge immediately.

I yell out his name while he continues his grueling pace. After a few seconds, he hits his peak and cums long and hard into me before falling down beside me.


"Do you think Jack was sincere?" I ask Christian as he runs his fingers along my back.

"I doubt it," Christian snorts.

"That was odd. You, know him saying he is happy for us," I shake my head.

"I really doubt that fucker is happy for us," he grits his teeth.

I sigh and look up at him. "You know, he is your brother now," I say cautiously.

"And?" he frowns and looks down at me.

"I just think that maybe you two need to get along. Your family now, and maybe he is starting to see that you're not going anywhere," I shrug.

Christian sighs and rubs his eyes. "I don't know, Ana. I don't trust that prick, and I don't think that is going to change anytime soon."

"I know. It probably won't, but we all need to try to be civil towards each other."

Christian shakes his head and kisses my forehead. "We'll see. Let's get some sleep."

I nod and cuddle closer to Christian. He runs his hand soothingly through my hair causing me to fall into a deep sleep dreaming of our baby boy smiling and giggling as I chase him.


AN: Hi! Long time no see.

I know it's been awhile since I have updated, but I am trying to get back into writing since being gone for a few months.

I wrote that awhile back that I was feeling under the weather and that delayed updating. Well, that is because we found out that we are expecting our fourth child, and, IT'S A BOY!

I had horrible morning sickness, which I still have at 24 almost 25 weeks, and with everything else that was going on, I didn't have time to update.

We are now out of the military and in our home state. We sold our house in early May and moved, and hubby found an awesome job. It was hectic, but we are glad that things worked out. RL has calmed down a little, so I am hoping to return to writing this story and my other one.

Still finishing school as well, so please be patient with me with future updates since we still have a lot going on, but I promise I will finish these two stories.

This is for all who read my husband's story: The Elliot Files.

Unfortunately, he has put that story on Hiatus since he has a million things going on at the moment.

New job, job training twice a week, and starting his Master's degree which he will be taking two classes instead of one. So, that means there will be no time to write that story. He doesn't know when he will pick that story back up, and it might be a long time before you see any update on that story. Sorry guys.

Anyway, I hope to have more updates here soon on this story and on the other one.

Thanks for reading. Sorry if it's boring, like I said, I'm still trying to get back into it.

P.S. Christian did not cheat on Ana, and he is not the father of Kate's baby.
