A/N: Once again, thank you for your reviews. I didn't think this would get so popular with so few chapters. Thank you once again.
Christian's POV
Crap! Crap! Crap!
"Ana!" I cry. Why won't she wake up? What's wrong with her? The lights went out and the next thing I know I can hear her pushing her chair away and her breathing started to get harsh.
"Ana!" Kate shouts. She kneels down on the floor with me as I hold Ana in my arms. She's gone completely limp. My family all gathering round to hide us from the other customers.
"Mom!"
"I'm here. Lay her on her back." She tells me. I pull Ana into my lap on her back. Her face is pale. Paler than normal. I hope she's ok. How in hells name is she ok being passed out in your arms, Grey?! If anything happens to her my world will end.
"Her pulse is rapid. Ok, Christian I am going to need you to carry her down to the car so we can get her back to the house. It seems like she had a panic attack."
"Panic attack?" Ana must not be telling me something. She's keeping something from me.
"Yes. A panic attack. Stay calm. The sooner we get her home the quicker she can rest." I nod in reply.
I carefully stand with Ana in my arms. I hold her close to my chest. After a few paces I can feel her breathing go back to normal. Thank god! What could have caused her to panic? She's never been afraid of the dark before unless... She must not be telling me something. I may need Flynn's help on this one. I'll call him when we get home and Ana is rested.
"Taylor!"
"Sir."
"I need you to find out what the hell happened to the power. Now!"
"Yes, Sir. Will Mrs Grey be alright?"
"Yes. We're taking her home." He nods and walks away. Elliot calls the elevator. Once inside I walk to the back, keeping Ana locked in my arms. Everyone's quiet. It's annoying.
"Mmm." Ana starts to wake, nuzzling her head in my chest. But she doesn't wake.
Finally the elevator reaches the ground floor.
"Sawyer you take my parents in the SUV. I'll take Ana's car." I order
"Yes sir." He leads my parents and Mia into the SUV. Luckily Kate didn't drink more than one glass of wine so she can drive Elliot. Sawyer can pick up Taylor later.
"You going to be ok?" My mom asks
"Yeah. Once I get her strapped in we'll be fine." I put Ana in the passenger's seat, strapping her in tightly. She looks so peaceful. Her breath steady now and some colour reappearing in her cheeks. She's going to be fine. I must keep positive. Little Blip will be fine too. Little Blip. I get in the driver's seat and drive to Bellevue.
Ana's POV
My head is foggy. What happened? I just remember the dark and being trapped, and then...nothing.
I lift my arm to my head and rub my eyes. I feel warm.
"Christian?" I murmur. I need my husband. "Christian?" I force my eyes open. I am in Christian's childhood bedroom in the bed. How did I get here? I look around. I am alone. It's dark outside the window. The only light in the room is my bedside light. I need to find Christian. I get out of bed and pull on my woolly robe. I walk out the door and slowly down the hall. The lights are dim, so everyone must be in bed. I finally reach the last set of stairs and I am already feeling light headed. I stop in my tracks. I hear voices coming from the family room. I walk down the stairs and on the last few steps I slip.
"Ow!" How could I lose my footing? This is embarrassing. Here I am laying on the floor after..well what ever happened earlier.
"Ana?!" Christian calls, running out of the family room. "Shit! Baby, you ok?" He lifts me up into his arms from the floor. I love being his arms. He keeps me safe at all times in his arms. "Baby, talk to me."
"I'm ok." I murmur. I hide my face in the crook of his neck. His scent is the best thing to calm me down.
"Come on. I'll take you to my mom."
"No. Really. I'm fine."
"Ana. You just fell down the stairs."
"It was only a couple of steps."
"Ana?" Grace calls softly. "Everything ok?"
"Yes. I'm..."
"No. She just fell down the stairs." Christian cuts me half way. His grip on me just got tighter, as if I stand I will fall.
"Come and sit down." She says. Christian carries me into the family room. Oh. Everyone's here. But not Kate or Elliot. Even...!
"Hello, Ana."
"Why is he here?" I whisper to Christian. He places me on the sofa near the fire and sits close beside me, taking my hand in his, he squeezes it.
"So, how have you been, Ana?" Dr. Flynn asks. I can't do this here. Or now. What is there to say?
"Ana?"
"Can we do this in private.?"
"Of course. Everyone?" Everyone nods. Christian is about to do the same but I pull him back down.
"Want me to stay?" He asks. I nod in reply. I clasp his hands in mine, staring at the floor.
"So want to tell me what's going on?"
"I don't know what you mean?" I look up at him in puzzlement.
"From what Christian tells me, you have never been afraid of the dark since the whole Hyde incident. Does your panic attack have something to do with that?"
I nod as Christian pulls me in closer to him. He must have figured it out when I was passed out.
"Want to explain what happened at the club?"
"Well...everything was fine till the lights went out. There was only darkness. It all reminded me of my nightmares, where Jack is coming after me and finishing the job. He beat me up and I was terrified. Not for myself but for little blip." I hold back the tears and place my hands over my stomach. "I was terrified that I'd lose Blip. The dark is just so...I don't know. When it's dark I freak out in case someone tries to grab me when I have no clue on what's going on. And then Christian tried to help me but I pushed him away." The tears are fallings down my cheeks. I never wanted to push him away, but I was reminded of my nightmares.
"Oh, baby." Christian pulls me into his lap and soothes my tears. I hide my face from Dr. Flynn.
"We got to the root of the problem quicker than Christian does." Flynn chuckles. I can feel Christian shooting him a death glare. "Sorry Christian, but it's true. Look, Ana, I think you two need to spend some more time together and with your family. Just next time when it's dark or you feel like you are about to panic hold onto Christian, or have something on you like a necklace or bracelet to hold on to while you calm down. Something with a lot of value to you. And please don't forget to talk to each other. Christian here, was starting to panic himself." He smiles. I feel calmer. If I told Christian about my nightmares earlier we could have done something about it rather making a big deal out of nothing.
"Ok." I murmur
"I think we're done here for now. Maybe you two could come see me in a few weeks times and see how things are going?"
"Sure, John. I'll see you out."
"No, no. You stay here and comfort your wife. I'll see myself out. Bye Ana."
"Goodbye, John." I whisper. I snuggle further into Christian's arms. Something to keep me calm. Something with value.
"You ok now?" Christian asks, stroking my hair and inhaling my scent.
"Yeah. I think so. I'm sorry I didn't say anything earlier."
"Well, it's out now so we can work on it together. How are you feeling?"
"Tired and I think I have a headache." I reply, rubbing the top of my head.
"How did you land when you fell down the stairs?"
"Umm... I slipped and landed on my right arm. I might have banged my head a little."
"Ok. We'll get you some advil and then we'll head to bed. If you have a headache tomorrow I am getting my mom to look you over again ok?"
"Ok." He tightens his arms around me and we just sit here in silence for what feels like forever.
After a while Grace and Mia walk in.
"You two ok?" Mia asks, sitting on the floor in front of us.
"Yeah. We'll be ok. Won't we?" Christian looks down at me and smiles. I nod and he kisses my head.
"Where's Kate?" I ask.
"Elliot and Kate have gone to bed, darling. It's gone 11pm. You two going to head up to bed?"
"Yeah. Ana just needs some advil."
"Why?"
"I have a headache. Just a little one though. Nothing to worry about." I say. Smiling at Grace to reassure her. "Would advil be ok to take?"
"I don't see why not." She smiles
"I'll get you some." Mia says, as she saunters to the kitchen. I make a loud yawn and drop my head on Christians shoulder.
"I think we need to get you to bed, Mrs Grey." I reply with a nod. I go to get out of his lap but he doesn't let me. He stands up with me in his arms once more. The motion of him walking starts to make me drift into a peaceful sleep. Letting my eyes lids fall I take in Christian's scent which makes me feel so much better. I could never get fed up of this smell.
Christian's POV
"I think she's fallen asleep now. I'll take the advil up anyway."
"Ok, darling."
"Thanks, mom. Night" I say to my mom, as I walk up the stairs with Ana in my arms. She is so beautiful when she's asleep. No lines to show her worries or stress. I must remember to make sure she has three full meals tomorrow. She hasn't eaten much today. That can wait for now.
Luckily I manage to open the door with no troubles, same as closing it. I walk round to Ana's side of the bed and place her down gently. I'll change her just in case she gets too hot in that robe.
I pull it off with some struggle but Ana doesn't wake up. Just mumbles some rather unintelligent sounds. Even in her sleep she makes me laugh. I strip her of her clothes leaving only her panties. God I am a lucky man. She's so beautiful, and I will spend the rest of my life showing her that. Thankfully Taylor packed her silk nightgown but I think she would prefer my t-shirt.
Now she's changed and sleeping comfortably I best go talk to Taylor. I want to know how the hell the power went out and why.
"Taylor." I call, luckily he's in the kitchen so Ana can't hear us if she comes down.
"Sir."
"The power cut?"
"Was just your standard power cut. It happened to a lot of the buildings around it at the same time. Just a glitch from the power house. The weather up north must be coming down now."
"Thank fuck for that. Well we have nothing to worry about. Thank you Taylor."
"Sir."
"Go get some rest. I'll see you in the morning."
"Good night, Sir."
Well at least that's something. The weather huh? I hope it clears by the time we need to leave for Aspen. I head back up to Ana, still hoping she's asleep. I am going to have to make sure that she is never left in the dark. I have to help her through this.
Quietly walking into the bedroom, I notice Ana is still asleep. She's now laying on her front and the covers have moved down the bed giving me a perfect view of her fine ass. I am one lucky man. Just looking at her is giving me a hard-on. Cold shower I think.
I step into the cold water and I start to cool down. The things Ana does to me and I just have to look at her and I get turned on. Such beauty and innocence. To think that this time next year there will be three of us. This year will be our first and last Christmas as just husband and wife. Next year we will be a family.
"Ahh! Christian!"
Shit! Ana. I quickly grab a towel and run out to the bedroom. She's having a nightmare.
"Ana. Ana. Calm down." I shake her gently, but she's not waking up. "Ana!" I shout.
Her eyes shoot open, full of fear. "I'm here, baby."
"Oh, Christian." I hold her tight and I feel her tears on my chest. All I can do is what she does for me. Comfort. "I was so scared." She whispers. I pull her away so I can look into her eyes.
"I know, baby, I know. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. No one is going to hurt you. Ever."
"I love you, Christian."
"And I love you, Ana." I lift her chin and kiss her soft, plump lips. "Please don't cry. I'm here." I plead. I can't stand to see her cry.
"Kiss me again." She murmurs. Her eyes now full of love. The fear gone.
I lean to kiss her lips, but more gentle. Her hands move to my hair and she makes the kiss deeper. All her love and desperation all in this one kiss. Just like me. "Love me, Christian." She asks, and I am all too happy to satisfy her requests.
"More than happy to, baby."
I pull her into my arms more and hold her head in my hands, my tongue taking over her mouth as does hers. I move my right hand down of face and neck to her breasts. I cup one breast, not breaking contact with her lips, and I pull and play with her nipple under the shirt. I break the kiss and pull the t-shirt over her head. Her face covered in a bright smile. I kiss her lips, and then along her jaw to her ear and down her neck till my mouth finds her nipple. I massage her other breast. She lets out a silent moan and deep in my throat I groan. Her moans make me harder.
She curls her fingers in my hair and pulls me to her lips. I move me right hand down from her breast over her stomach, then I caress her thigh. Taking my sweet time and she moans again. I move it further to her sex. I stroke her and already she's wet.
"Mrs Grey, you never disappoint."
I tease her some more, our lips only parting for air. I take in all her moans. Don't want to be interrupted again.
"Christian." She pleads for me.
We break for air. I feel her hands move over the towel on my waist and she pulls it off and drops it on the floor. Her face shines with pure joy and lust. Before I can do anymore she has me in her mouth. Fuck! She knows what she's doing. Her tongue expertly playing with my tip.
"Ana!" I groan. I can't take anymore. I pull out of her mouth and lay her on her back. "I want inside you."
"Go ahead." She says that so sexy and smirks. I pull off her panties and she wraps her luscious, long legs around my waist and pulls me closer. I position myself and sink into her. Her walls practically pulling me in. She's so tight and I love it. I cover her with my body, putting all my weight on my elbows near her head. I move in to kiss her and she happily accepts. I slowly start to move out of her and just as slow thrusting back in. I continue at this pace, making it want to last forever.
"Christian! Faster! Please!" She quietly pleads. I start to pick up my pace, not wanting to hurt her. I pull her up so she sits astride me. I hold onto her waist while she moves her hands along my back and into my hair. She moves against me, matching my rhythm. A perfect match. I feel her walls tightening around me and she starts to hold onto her moans.
"Let go, baby" After a few thrusts and she explodes around me as I do inside her. Coming apart together. I kiss her deeply.
"I love you Ana Grey."
"I love you Christian Grey."
I lay her back down and pull out of her. She curls near my chest and we start to bring our breathing back to normal. So fucking perfect. I will never let her go. And the sex will just get even better throughout the pregnancy.
"Sleep, Mrs Grey." I whisper, kissing the top of her head. She nods and I pull the cover back over us.
We both drift into a peaceful sleep. Neither of us will be having nightmares tonight.
A/N: I hope you like this one. I can't remember if I have done a sex scene before in this already O.o Oh well! Reviews much loved.
