A/N: Thank you all for the warm welcome back. Seeing your responses to my return made my day. Thank you. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

No. This can't be true. Jack hasn't escaped. They're just testing me, surely?

"Say that again." I ask, my voice just barely a whisper.

"Hyde escaped. But, baby, don't worry about a thing. I will keep you safe." Christian tells me, his hands gripping my arms holding me steady.

"We all will." Elliot adds. We all look to him and for once he is serious. Just like Christian, no one messes with the Grey family.

"Ok." I mumble. "But promise me Christian. If something happens concerning Jack, you have to tell me no matter what. Promise?" I demand. He won't break promises to me. I know it. He stares into my eyes, searching for something but he finally responds.

"Ok, baby. I promise."

"Thank you." I smile. I look around the room and I can see the fear, the worry and concern that our family has for us. Grace in particular.

We finally got round to dinner after our situation in the study. I can feel the tension in the room but it's brushed away with light conversations.

Dinner was delicious as usual. Mia comes in with Grace carrying two large trays with dessert. Mia personally made me a double chocolate fudge cake with fresh whipped cream. My face lights up when she places it in front of me. I catch Christian staring at me. Head in hand, elbow on table starring.

"What?" I ask, popping the cherry into my mouth.

"You amaze me at every turn Ana."

"Why?"

"After what you've just found out you are still able to smile."

"That's because I have my family around me." I reply then lean forward so only he can hear me. "And you, Mr Grey. I know you will protect me, and Blip, at whatever cost." I explain, rubbing my over grown bump.

"You got that right, Mrs Grey. Now are you going to share some of that delicious dessert or am I going to have to steal it from you?"

"I think you will have to fight a pregnant lady." I whisper and he growls at me, quickly kissing me. I love this man more than the world it's self.

"I'm coming for you." I hear his voice echoing around the halls. I'm running. Not knowing where to go. My breathing harsh, my feet sore.

"You can't hide from me." His voice is louder now, closer even. I push myself to run faster but I'm slowed down by the pain shooting round my stomach. I keep running till I see a slip down the side and decide to hide. Leaning against the wall I fall to the floor, covering my bump.

"Ana. You can't deliver that baby all on your own. Let me help you." He's closer now. It can't be time?! I won't let him take my baby!

"GET OFF ME! NO! YOU CAN'T TAKE MY BABY!"

"ANA! WAKE UP! Baby, wake up." I flutter my eyes open. My cheeks wet from my tears.

"Christian?" I try to catch my breath and focus on Christian's face.

"Ana. You ok?" I shake my head and he engulfs me into his arms. What the hell was that all about?
"Do you want to talk about?"

"No. Not now. Maybe later."

"Ok." Christian starts to gently rock me, placing kisses on the top of my head. I turn my sights to the balcony doors to the sound. Rain pours from the sky. That's never a good sign. I start to calm to the sounds of Christian humming. My tears stopped, I plant a kiss on his chest and rest my head again.

"What time is it?" I ask, only now realising it's barely light outside. Christian leans round to look at the clock.

"Only 3.30."

"Only." I laugh.

"Baby. I really wish you would talk to me."

"I know but I don't know what happened myself. It's all a blur now."

"Was it Hyde?" I freeze at his name.

"I...don't know." It's the truth. I can't remember if it was Hyde or not. But everything seems to connect in some ways. This is all too confusing. I just need a day to relax.

"Let's get back to sleep. Here." Christian lays us down with my back to his front and his arms circling around me, keeping me safe. I eventually drift back into sleep with a comforting kick from Blip.

"Come on, Ana!"

"No, Kate."

"And why the hell not?!"

"Calm down."

"I am calm." I fold my arms at Kate until she calms downs. "Fine!" She finally huffs out.

"Thank you. We can't go shopping because 1: I have an overprotective husband who won't let me out of his site." I point to over my shoulder where Christian is sitting reading the paper. "And 2: We are going out for lunch then the spa also Mia forbids me shopping without her." I admit.

"Christian I can understand, but Mia?"

"I don't know. She just said 'don't go shopping without me'." I shrug my shoulders.

"Ok, whatever. Let's get ready to go to lunch."

"Ok."

I can't shake this feeling. I feel like someone is staring at me. I'm constantly looking over my shoulder checking but no one is looking at me. The usual glances as we enter a room because we are Greys but nothing more than that.

"Baby? You ok?" Christian asks me, his hand on my lower back as we ride in the elevator down to the car park.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I smile to him but I can guess he knows something is up. As we step out of the elevator I get that feeling again. I look to my left and no one is there. This is really unnerving and quite frankly, annoying.

Kate and Elliot are all over each other in the back of the car. Christian and I ride in the front, his hand on my knee. Lately I have been getting paranoid about the littlest things. I've been caught starring into space as I am lost in my own thoughts.

"Bro, can you change the music?" Elliot asks, whining about Christian's music choice.

"Nothing wrong with this at all." Christian says aloud, gripping my knee a little more.

"It's different." I mutter. It's nice, mellow, calm and cool. It almost describes mine and Christian's relationship from both sides.

'I am strong when I'm quiet
I never let you see me stall
I can hate what you say and still smile...'

Delilah has such a wonderful sound to her voice. British singer I think. Seems to put my thoughts in line.

"CHRISTIAN LOOK OUT!" Kate yells. In that moment everything goes in slow motion once again in my life but it all happens too fast. As the pain pulses through my body, the last thing I see is the smug look on Jack Hyde's face as he drives away.

A/N: Short I know, but I like cliff hangers. Gives me more to work with in the next chapter. Reviews much loved!
