A/N: Sorry this is a bit late. Thanks for the awesome reviews once again! Last night or the day before, a character came to mind that I haven't played with yet. LOL. All in good time though! I hope you like this chapter.
Today we are finally taking the Grey and Kavanagh family to the spa. We have all been busy since after New Years but we were all lucky to get today to be together.
We have booked into the Four Season's Spa Lounge. Christian didn't go into the fine detail of what he booked exactly but I'm pretty much guessing the whole spa or half.
"So are you taking the guys out on The Grace?" I ask Christian. We're sitting in the family lounge. He's on his laptop and I'm just watching him, drinking my tea... Peaceful moment.
"Not sure yet. We'll wait and see when everyone shows up." He replies, not taking his gaze away from his laptop.
"And you're doing it again." He states.
"Doing what?" I ask, puzzled. I'm not doing anything. Then his eyes turn to me and he smiles.
"What?" I ask again.
"Look down." He tells me and I do. Oh! I'm rubbing my bump. I've been doing it a lot lately, not even realising I'm even doing it. This must be a sight for him. My legs curled under me, my head resting on my hand which is propped up on the arm rest and I'm rubbing my bump. I guess I'm more of a natural mother than I thought.
"You're so good to him already." He murmurs.
"So are you." I tell him. I always try to reassure him that he will be a good father. Fantastic even if we work together. He puts his laptop down and kneels in front of me.
"You have so much faith in me, Ana." He murmurs, placing his hands around my bump. I can tell he's frowning a little, even if it is hidden behind is hair. I run my hand through his hair then cup his face, bringing his gaze to me.
"That's because I love you so much." I smile to him and he smiles that shy smile to me.
"And I you, my sweet Ana." He murmurs. He's just about to lean up to kiss me when Blip decides to kick.
"He has great timing, doesn't he?" I giggle.
"That he does." Christian grins. He rubs the spot Blip just kicked then kisses it.
"Hello! Any body home?!" We hear Elliot yell from the front door. Christian lets out a sigh of frustration.
"I really must lock that door all the time if he keeps walking in like that." Christian murmurs.
"Aww. Well look at you two." Elliot chimes. "Hope we're not interrupting anything?"
"Elliot. You're always interrupting something." Christian says.
"True. Can never leave you two alone." Kate continues, as she pops her head through the door.
"Well come on in." I tell them. Following them is Mia and Ethan, Grace and Carrick. I love having the family round. It's rare because we are normally at Bellevue. The family home if you may.
"So what's the plan?" Grace asks. Christian stands to great her then the rest of the family, with a few hugs and handshakes, then he is back to sitting with me. Wrapping his arms around me. Grace smiles at us making me blush.
"The girls are going to the spa." Christian announces.
"What about us men?" Elliot jumps in.
"You have a choice. Fishing on my boat or hiking? Unless you have other ideas."
"Let's go to a bar."
"Elliot!" Carrick scolds him. "It's too early." He simply says. We all start to laugh. Yeah it's too early to start drinking but drink away later on.
"You could always join us." Mia says.
"Hell no!" Elliot bellows
"Fishing?" Christian asks.
"Sure. Why not?" Ethan agrees.
"I'm up for it." Carrick joins.
"Now that that's decided we can head out."" Christian says. I notice Elliot sulking like a little boy. Just as Christian stands I hold up my hands.
"Help?" I ask. I am too comfy to stand but I am also stuck.
"Anything for you, Mrs Grey. Come on." He says pulling me up and capturing my lips, in front of the family!
"I just need to use the bathroom before we head out."
"Get to it then." He tells me and slaps my backside as I leave his embrace. He seems to be in a good mood today and I think it's starting to rub onto everyone else. Christian has been very hands on with me. Bringing me food and keeping me warm. He's so sweet a lot of the time.
We're all packed into our cars and heading for town. Kate insisted on riding with me so I'm now stuck sitting between her and Christian in the back of the SUV. They both don't want to leave my side. So consequently I am stuck with Kate holding my right hand and Christian holding my left plus an arm around my shoulder. I sometimes wonder if he thinks I'll run off with Kate.
Taylor pulls up outside the doors to the Four Season. We're all standing outside, the girls are chatting to one another while Christian lays down the rules for me.
"I have arranged that no man is to touch you. Sawyer and Ryan will be around you at all times. You are to eat..." He trails.
"Yes, yes. Christian I get it." I roll my eyes.
"Eye rolling? Mrs Grey. You may need punishing."
"I couldn't agree with you more." I murmur biting my lip.
"And you're biting that lip." He says, releasing my lip with his finger and thumb.
"I'm going to miss you today." I say while pouting.
"I'm going to miss you too. Maybe we could ditch the others and have our own fun." He says, slowly lowering his voice and whispering into my ear, hands on my waist.
"That sounds very tempting, Mr Grey. But we agreed to spend time with everyone. We can make up for lost time later." I purr into his ear and he moans against my neck as he kisses me softly.
"Oh come on!" Elliot yells. We turn our heads to him.
"Shut it Elliot! You don't see me complaining when you're all over Kate!" Christian snaps back. He's got a point.
"Maybe so but you don't see me all over her in public!"
"Yeah right. You're always on her. You've got your hand on her ass already."
"Christian!" I scold.
"Elliot!" Kate scolds too then punches Elliot's arm.
"Christian. You went too far." I tell him. He looks down at me and frowns a little. My lost little boy.
"Sorry, baby."
"Not to me." I tell him and nod my head towards Kate and Elliot who are also having words.
"Sorry Kate. Elliot."
"Listen bro. I'm sorry too." Elliot replies. Well that was easy. Kate and I share a smile of victory. We can break our men, well sort of. Kate better than me. Christian is a very hard man to break.
"Let's get going. Come on Ana." Mia says dragging me away from Christian.
We all walk in to reception and book in.
"Booking for the spa under Grey." Christian tells the blonde receptionist.
"Everything is ready for you Mr Grey."
"Good. Mrs Grey will be in charge. Go to her with any issues." Christian continues.
"Now that's all sorted how about we get going?" He asks, direct to the guys. They all agree and start saying farewells and walk to the cars. Christian lingers around longer.
"You better go." I tell him.
"I know. I'll miss you two so much." He tells me then captures my lips.
"Blip? Yes. Mommy? Very much so." I smile against his lips.
"You better go." He breaks away. "Looks like the others are getting fed up of us." He chuckles.
"Guess so. I will see you later, Mr Grey." I murmur and chastely kiss his lip then stroll away. I can't exactly make it sexy with a baby bump but when I look over my shoulder he seems turned on.
After spending an hour in the steam room we move on for a facial. It feels amazing. I would never have done this if I hadn't of met Christian. He treats me so well. Buys me things I don't want or need just to show me how much he loves me. But I don't need it all. I just need him. My world and my life. My day starts and ends with him.
"Your cocktails ladies." The waitress announces.
"Oh yes please." Mia and Kate say. Grace grabs hers and I'm left hanging. This isn't fair.
"Mrs Grey?" The waitress addresses me, dragging my gaze to her from Grace.
"Yes?"
"Mr Grey phoned earlier to make sure you go this." She says then hands my tall glass of something fruity.
"It's an apple and cranberry Collins. Enjoy." She says then leaves. I take a sip. Wow! That's nice. Very refreshing. Christian must have guessed they would get cocktails. Thank you husband! I will make sure to give him my thanks later on.
"Why don't you try this, Ana?" Grace hands me over a leaflet listing all the different types of massages that they offer. Looking through I spot one that takes to my liking.
"Pregnancy Massage?" I lift an eyebrow to her as in 'would this be ok?' kind of way.
"It will definitely help with your back and feet." She suggests.
"Reading more in to it, it does sound very tempting."
"Then go for it, darling. You've still got a few months to go so why not take some of the weight away now. Help you relax more."
"True." I think it over. Would help a lot if I'm going to get any bigger. "I'll do it. Sounds good anyway." I smile to her. We both look at Kate and Mia who are laughing really loudly. Glad they are getting on so well.
After our facial we decided on some lunch. Well, we didn't decide. It wasn't an option really when I'm involved now. We all had a house salad with French dressing as a starter. I insisted that they tried the Collins drink I had earlier and they loved it as much as me. Although Kate did complain that it wasn't alcoholic. She and Elliot seem to be drinking a lot more lately. I hope they don't overdo it.
Mia has been babbling on about her trip to New York in a few weeks time. She's going to be working in the top restaurants there. Good luck to her. I've heard the head chefs around New York are very competitive sometimes. When she got back from Paris she said that she loved the food and people except for one chef she worked with. Said he was very domination. To this day that still makes me laugh out loud.
Our mains arrive. Kate, Mia and Grace have ordered something 'classy' while I have gone for a plain old burger with fries and onion rings on the side. Plus avocado. It's a new craving of mine. Almost every meal has to have avocado, except dessert. That's topped off with a lot of chocolate or raspberry sauce.
"Here, Ana. Try this." Mia holds up her fork for me to try.
"That's delicious." I mumble with my hand over my mouth.
"Good right? It's lobster with lemon and wheatgrass sauce."
"First time I've tried that and I love it." I say. She offers Grace and Kate some as well. Grace likes it but Kate's not so keen. It takes a liking too I think.
After a very large piece of chocolate cake we sit back and relax.
"So do we want to book a room and relax in it till the boys are done? Or the pool?" Kate asks.
"The pool sounds good." Mia says and Grace agrees. I'm not sure about this. I didn't even pack a swimsuit.
"Ana, dear. What's wrong?" Grace asks, putting her hand on my arm.
"I didn't even bring a swimsuit and well...look at me." Pointing out the obvious.
"Didn't Christian mention the pool to you?" Mia asks. He knew?!
"No he didn't." Well, I'm no longer going to show him my thanks.
"Don't worry. I have a spare. When Elliot told me I knew Christian wouldn't have." Kate says.
"And wouldn't you know." She pulls a swimsuit from her bag. "It's yours!" She smiles at me.
"Oh Kate. Thank you. I wonder if it'll fit." I add. At least it's not the expensive one Christian got me for our honeymoon. Just my good tankini.
"It may not cover your bump but at least it's something." Grace says.
"True." We agree.
"Let's get going then." Mia chimes, leading the way to the pool.
I am please yet horrified. My swimsuit still fits but my breasts! They look like they are about to pop out at any given moment!
"Wow, Ana. You look hot. Shame the boys aren't here." Mia and Kate share a look and smile. What are they up too? Do they know something?
"Grace is waiting at the pool on the lounge chairs. She's got our seats for us." Kate informs me as she notices me looking around for her.
Kate and Mia link their arms with mine and we stroll through to the pool. We break arms to grab some towels from the stall. Before we even reach the pool I can feel the heat, hitting me square on in the face. They walk ahead of me giggling. What is going on? I really hate it when people don't tell me anything. Especially when they are making it obvious that they are keeping something from me.
Walking into the large room with the indoor pool I notice it's very quiet. The room is too big to describe. Large pillars surround the inside of the walls, sculptures or paintings in between each one. Looking around there's no one in sight. I walk over to the lounge chairs and place my towel on one. This is getting creepy now. On the corner of my eye, I notice movement in the water, walking closer to get a better few, I notice someone is swimming. Am I in the wrong room or something? Is there another pool?
I'm standing on the edge now, just at the top of the pool. The figure starts getting closer to me. How can they hold their breath for so long? I feel hands on my back and shoulders. Pushing me into the water. My scream echoing off the walls.
When I land in the water I sink to the bottom, my eyes screwed shut. Strong arms grab under my legs and on my lower back, pulling me up to the surface.
I cough out any water and wipe my face, brushing my hair back with my fingers.
"Thank you." I mumble, wiping my eyes.
"You're very welcome, Mrs Grey." My eyes shoot open.
"Christian? What the hell?!" I shout. I turn my head and look around. Everyone is here?!
"Mia! Kate! I am so going to kill you!"
"No you won't!" Mia and Kate stick their tongues out at me and I back at them. I turn my gaze to my gloriously wet husband.
"Mr Grey. I do believe you're wet." I murmur.
"That I am and so are you." He purrs into my ear. His hot breath covering my skin. I cup his face in my hands and kiss him. I know it's only been a few hours, but I have missed him so much.
"I've missed you." I whisper against his lips, we ignore everyone else jumping and splashing in the water.
"I've miss you too. Although I am sad and glad that you aren't wearing that bikini I bought you."
"Same. But I think I may need a new suit."
"And why is that?" Christian asks, swimming us to the pool wall. He presses his body against mine and I wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his shoulders.
"Well...um..." Why am I embarrassed?
"Come on Ana. You can tell me anything"
"Have you not noticed the difference in size of my breasts?"
"Yes I have. Very much so. I only notice a natural change. Although, at the moment this top can't contain you." I says, the last part a seductive murmur.
"And you're biting your lip." He slowly kisses my lips, then the corner of my mouth, my jaw line, then my neck and down to my...!
"Christian. Not here." I gasp, as he continues to kiss along the tops of my breasts.
"I am you covered. And you have me covered." What? Oh. He presses his groin into me, making my squirm.
"But if you don't keep still you will expose us."
"Sounds like a challenge, Mr Grey."
"Oh no. Not a challenge. I don't want my parents seeing me so aroused by my wife, or my brother seeing my wife's fantastic breasts."
"You have a point." I smirk at him. I've got an idea.
"Mrs Grey. What are you up to?" He asks. I kiss him chastely on the lips then push him away. Taking in a large breath I sink into the water and reach for Christian's trunks. Pulling them off and quickly moving away from his reach. I look back at him and he's covering himself up. Reaching back up for air I wave his trunks in the air.
"I got your trunks, Christian!" I yell. Grabbing everyone's attention. Christian glares at me, petrified and angry, yet it's so hot. Everyone bursts out laughing. Christian starts to swim for me quickly. Wow! He's fast. I do my best to swim from him and hide behind Kate and Elliot. Christian is trying to keep his distance, hiding himself. Oh I am so going to be punished.
"Need a hand bro?" Elliot laughs out.
"Yeah. You couldn't pass my wife over here would you?"
"Sure."
"Traitor!" I shout as he pulls me then pushes me to Christian's waiting arms. He locks me tight to his chest, obviously using me to hide himself.
"Where are they?" He growls. Not a threatening, angry growl but of playful, sexy growl.
"I don't have them." I shrug my shoulders, showing both my hands to him. I passed them Kate whose now hiding herself, I think.
"Kate!" He yells, he must have caught sight of her. He swims, or paddles should I say, towards everyone with me in front of him trying to get as close as he can to Kate.
"Trunks." He orders.
"I don't have them." She admits, copying me from earlier. I turn my head to get a better view of everyone. Kate winks at me. Either Mia or Elliot have them now. Christian sighs out in frustration, resting his head on my chest.
"Maybe I should take this off so it's fair and you can stay in my arms." He whispers, tugging at the strap of my top.
"Oh no you don't." I give him a warning glare. He smiles down at me. "No." He unties to knot on my back. "No." Grabbing the hem of my top and slowly rolling it up. "Christian." I warn him as he continues to roll it up, stopping below my breasts. He gives me that wolfish grin telling me to dare him. I feel him pull at the material as if to pull my top off.
"Elliot give it to him!" I yell, not wanting my breasts to be on show to everyone. Christian's trunks splash next to us.
"Thank you." He grins. Grabbing his trunks he dives under and pulls them on. I then feel his hand on my ankle, slowly working its way up to my behind. He re-surfaces grinning like he's won something.
"Hello." I mumble. He continues to stare at me, his smile getting darker.
"Are you asking to be punished?"
"Yes." I purr. He groans in his throat then captures my lips.
"I think I might get a pool installed at home, so we can have some fun in private." He whispers against my lips.
"That sounds like a very Good idea, Mr Grey." I reply. This afternoon just got a whole lot better.
A/N: I hope you liked this one. I really can't wait to write up my ideas that have been floating around my head. Reviews much loved!
