A/N: Thank you once again for the most amazing reviews! I am loving your support! We're back to Ana's POV now. I might go back to Christian's sometime in further chapters.
"Morning, Mrs Grey" Christian whispers in my ear. He is nibbling my ear lobe seductively sending an electric wave down to my groin.
"Morning, Mr Grey." I mumble sleepily. I turn over to face him and he has the biggest smile on his face. "You're happy to see me." I notice his erection against my hip.
"I'm always happy to see you, Mrs Grey." he leans into my lips and bites my bottom lip. I know where this is going. I pull him closer to me and make the kiss deeper. "Seems you're happy to see me too, Mrs Grey."
"Always, Mr..." Oh no! I have a horrid feeling coming up my throat. I get out of bed quicker than ever before and run to the bathroom. I make it in time and empty my stomach.
"Ana?" Christian shouts from the bedroom. I managed to kick the door shut behind me. "Ana?" He knocks on the door startling me.
"Don't come in here." I plead. He walks in and kneels down beside me and pulls my hair out of the way.
"Nothing I haven't seen before. You ok?" he asks, as he rubs my back. I have no words just more heaving. "I'll get you some water." He stands and goes over to the sink and gets me a glass of water. "Here."
"Thank you. I thought that would have lasted longer."
"Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't."
"I think I'm going to get a shower."
"Mmm...I like the sound of that." He whispers. I purposely bite my lip and on queue he pounces on me. Best thing about having sex the night before is there are no clothes to strip down.
Christian lifts me up and I instinctively wrap my legs around his waist. His lips attacking every inch of my skin around my neck and jaw. My back hits the shower wall and Christian groans as his erection presses against me. I manage to turn the shower on so the water falls over and around us.
"Oh, Mrs Grey. I can feel you're ready." He smirks at me, hovering around my entrance.
"Christian! Please!" I moan. He smiles that sexy smile and slowly enters me. I tip my head back and absorb every inch of him.
"This is my favourite place. Inside you." He murmurs, and he starts his loving thrusts. Our breathes mix with the hot steam from the water. I can feel myself tightening. Climbing higher.
"Christian!" I cry out.
"Ana..." he devours my lips. Consuming all my moans. "Come. For. Me" He says between breathes. After a few more moments I fall about as does Christian. He calls out my name into my neck as I call out his.
He holds me close as we descend from our high.
"You never disappoint, Mrs Grey." He breathes out.
"I agree, Mr Grey. I think we better hurry up and get out of this shower before with turn into prunes." I giggle.
"I love that sound." He says, kissing the top of my head and inhaling my scent.
I stagger to my feet then I pull him up with me.
"So what do you have planned for today?"
"I thought I'd take you sailing. Or is that a bad idea?"
Just the thought of sailing is making me nauseous. "I think maybe another time." I say with an apologetic smile and all too soon it is ruined by my stomach giving way on me.
After what seemed like a good start to the day, Christian and I finally join everyone for breakfast.
"Morning you two. Ana, how are you feeling?" Grace asks handing me a glass of orange juice. I take a sip. Wow! That's so fresh.
"Yeah, a lot better thanks. Just needed a good night's sleep I guess."
"We're going to be heading back home later this morning." Christian informs them. As much as I love being here with the family I do miss our home at Escala. Where we don't get interrupted when in a heated moment.
"Mornin' my wonderful family!" Elliot bellows, striding casually into the kitchen. I turn my head to face him but he already has me in a bear hug and whirling me around.
"Ahahha! Elliot! Put me down!" I giggle
"Elliot!" Christian warns. He can't be jealous of his own brother? Surely.
"Oh calm down bro. Just sharing the love!" Elliot replies, placing me back on the floor.
"You really ought to warn me nex..." oh no! Not again! I quickly turn and run to the nearest bathroom and head first into the toilet. I thought this all stopped. How wrong was I?
"See what you did, Elliot!" I hear Christian yelling at Elliot from the hall. "Baby, can I come in?"
"No.." is all I manage to say before I heave again. Many women say pregnancy is great but they forgot to mention how horrible the morning sickness was.
"Why are we all gathered in the hall?" Kate asks. Oh no! Don't come in! "Ana? You in there?"
"Go away!" I shout out to them.
"Baby, I'm coming in." Christian calls. Before I tell them no he is already in, crouching on the floor near me probing my face.
"I'm ok." I weakly say, with a weak smile.
"No you're not. Think you can manage some food?"
"Surprisingly yes. I guess Blip is hungry after making me empty my stomach." I reply with some sarcasm in my voice. I hear the others giggle just outside the door.
"Come on. Food then you can rest."
"Yes, sir." I say. His smile broadens making me giggle.
After I have freshened back up I join everyone back in the kitchen. Where is everyone?
"Christian?!" I yell.
"Dining room, baby!" he shouts. I walk quickly into the dining room and I am shocked by the amount of food I see laid out on the table. I think I am drooling by the mouth as I didn't notice Christian walking up to me and wiping my mouth.
"You look hungry, Ana. See something you like?" Mia giggles.
"Did you cook all this?"
"Yep. Mom helped too." She says. Wow she is an amazing cook and I haven't even tried anything yet.
Christian leads me to sit next to him and he grabs a plate picking up all my favourites. Pancakes, bacon and eggs. I grab the bottle of maple syrup and pour it over everything. I feel eyes staring at me. I look up and everyone has strange expressions. Christian, Grace and Kate smiling at me like I haven't eaten for ages and Carrick, Elliot and Mia look as if they have never stopped eating.
"What?"
"Nothing. Nothing. You carry on, Ana darling." Grace encourages me. Christian sits back down and leans in to kiss my cheek.
"I love to watch you eat." He whispers and I smile. I can't help but smile lately. I am so grateful for everything that has happened to me. A few issues to go through but everything is just perfect.
"You two take care. And come back soon"
"We will, don't worry about that, mom."
Grace and Christian exchange hugs while I exchange hugs with Carrick. Kate and Elliot left earlier on to work on wedding plans. We haven't told them when Blip is due because we're waiting till the next scan to be double sure.
"Let us know how the scan goes, won't you, Ana?" Carrick asks me.
"Of course we will." I smile back at him. Yes, our next scan is next Saturday just to make sure everything is ok after the ordeal with the whole Hyde incident and my first week back at work. Christian insists on it. My controlling fifty.
"Shall we go home, Mrs Grey" Christian takes my hand and leads me down the steps to the R8.
"Happily. Can I drive?" He looks nervously at me. I know he doesn't like my driving but he will have to put up with it. "What? It is my car." I clearly state.
"Nothing..but..."
"Christian Grey. This is my car is it not?"
"Yes, but..."
"But nothing. I have been driving for years and I am still alive. So please let me drive my car?"
He lets out a sigh and I know I have won. It's nice to win sometimes but he really does act like a scolded child. He hands me the keys and I am off. Waiting for him to put the luggage in the front I start the engine, smiling with glee. I love the sound of the engine. Makes me feel...power. I love it and the purr of the engine sends shivers down my back, well, it would do seeing as the engine is right behind me. I am giggling to myself like a mad fool and I know Christian has noticed.
"And why are you making that wonderful sound, my dear wife?"
"Just the joy of this car that you, my dear husband, bought for me on my birthday."
"I'm glad you love it so much. I hope not as much as you love me though?"
"Of course not! Now let's go home."
"Drive away." He gestures me on wards. I move out of the drive and onto the clear road, heading to our home.
Finally! Home! I take mine and Christian's bags to our bedroom while he checks on work stuff in his study. I only have one more day left till I go back to work and I am over the moon. I have missed it so much. I drop the bags and flop onto the bed. I can't believe that I am pregnant. I thought I accepted it a while ago but now it's only kicking in with all the morning sickness. I close my eyes and I feel the warmth of the sun. What have I done to deserve so much fortune?
"Mrs Grey, what are you doing?"
I prop myself onto my elbows and look over to the door. Christian is leaning against the frame looking as hot as ever.
"I'm just taking in everything."
"Everything?"
"Everything."
"And what is everything may I ask?" He starts a slow stride over to me and then lays next to me. He puts his hand over my stomach and spreads his fingers. I am so touched by his actions tears start streaming down my face.
"Hey. What's the matter?" He asks, moving his hand to wipe away my tears.
"Nothing. I'm just so emotional!" I blubber through my tears. I am still smiling like a fool though and Christian chuckles with me. "Damn these hormones! This isn't supposed to happen now!"
"Oh, baby. It was going to happen anyway." He chuckles.
"I know! But not now!" II whine. Gah! This is so annoying! I take in some deep breathes to calm my tears.
"How about we get some lunch?" he asks. I nod in reply, wiping away the last few tears.
"I'm just going to get changed into my sweats."
"Ok, baby. I'll get Mrs Jones to make some subs."
"And soup?"
"You want subs and soup?" He quirks an eyebrow up in surprise.
"Yes. Is that a problem?"
"No. Just so happy to see you eat." He smiles and leaves the room. He is never going to stop saying that. I can't help but feeling hungry all the time now thanks to Little Blip. But I won't let myself get fat. So I have to muster up to guts to ask Christian to let me see Claude. No heavy stuff, but maybe swimming. That would be fun and have benefits if my husband joins me. Just the thought makes me blush. I quickly go into the walk in closet and change into my sweats and then head to Christian's drawers and grab one of his t-shirts. I just need something comfortable to wear. Now to go find my husband and food.
"Finally. She joins us!"
"Everything ok?" I mutter, walking into the kitchen and sitting on the stool next to Christian.
" Yes. Just waiting for you. You're not the only one who gets hungry." He smirks at me.
"Haha I know that." I giggle. His eyes light up with love and it warms me so much.
"Why are you wearing my t-shirt? You're not going to bed are you?"
"No. I just wanted to wear something comfortable." I reply. "Unless you have anything planned?"
"No, no. It's fine. What did you have in mind for today?"
"I was thinking I might catch up on some work. See if there is anything that needs doing."
Christian gives me a stern look. "What?"
"You're not meant to be working."
"Christian! I am going back to work in just one day and you haven't let me catch up on any work since I got out of hospital." I moan. I haven't been put on bed rest.
"Only because I don't want you to get stressed."
"I love what I do. If anything it relaxes me." I reply. Again, he gives me a stern look. As if confused. "What?"
"We always seem to go in circles with this conversation, don't we?"
"You just noticed?" Before I can say anything else, Mrs Jones places our sub and soups out in front of us, and with that the conversation is over.
After we have eaten, Christian and I both go into our studies to work. We haven't said anything else more on the topic of me working so I am just going to get on.
Luckily Hannah forwarded me most of the manuscripts I had been championing before...everything. So I can easily get reading then and sending back my edits to Hannah. I hope Christian isn't mad at me. Well he's just going to have to ride it out so I am going to crack on with this work.
Darkness covers me and consumes me. I can see nothing or feel nothing. I just feel sharp pains. Someone has hit me in the face and knocked me down. I just to get to my feet but I feel swift, strong kicks to my ribs, and then to my side and back. It hurts so much I want to scream. The tears flowing down my face uncontrollably. Continuous pain shooting through my body. I can't bare it anymore. I release all the screams I can muster from my lungs.
"Shit! Ana! Wake up! Baby, wake up!" Christian shakes me, forcing me to shoot my eyes open. "Baby! You ok?" He looks as terrified as I feel. I'm trying to catch my breath and stop the tears but nothing works. I'm still in the library. Taylor is standing by the door looking worried as well.
"Ana? Talk to me, baby."
"I...I...I had another nightmare. I must have...fallen asleep." I try to say through staggered breathes. Christian pulls me into his arms and holds me close.
"You're safe, baby. No one's going to hurt you. I'll protect you." He says, soothing my nerves. He lifts me into his arms and carries me out of the library to our bedroom. He lays me on my side of the bed and lays next to me, not letting me go, he spoons me and places his hand on my stomach caressing our Little Blip making sure we're both safe.
"Thank you." I whisper. The tears finally stop and my breathing is calming down.
"For what?"
"Protecting me."
"My pleasure." He whispers in my ear.
We lay here in each other's arms for what feels like minutes, hours or forever. I don't care because I know I have Christian to keep me safe. Our breathing unison I drift into, what I hope, a peaceful sleep. One day these nightmares will go away. Maybe it will help if I spoke to Kate aswell.
A/N: I know this chapter is shorter but I wanted to start a new chapter with the whole Ana talking to Kate thing. I hope you like what I have written here. Reviews much loved.
