A/N: I am evil aren't I with the cliff hangers? To me it adds more fun to the game. Keeps the suspense going. Well I hope you like this chapter.
My head is killing me! What the hell happened?! As my mind rises to the surface again my hearing kicks in first. The sound of machines buzzing and beeping around me. Where am I? What happened? A voice pulls me from all the machinery.
"Oh my sweet, baby girl. Please, please wake up." Mom? I make a muffled groan so I can be heard but her crying echoes through the room, muting me. I force my voice out. I need to speak.
"Christian?" I groan. My throat is so dry.
"Ana?" My eyes open to my mother's worried, tearful eyes. "Oh, Ana! Ray go get Grace."
"Mom?"
"Yes, Ana. It's me sweety. Do you know where you are?" She asks, her hand holding mine.
"Hospital?"
"Yes. Ray has gone to get Grace."
"Christian? Where is he?" I begin to panic, my eyes searching the room. My neck is sore as I quickly turn my head to the creaking door as it opens.
"Hello, Ana. How do you feel?" Grace asks she checks my vitals.
"Sore. Where's Christian?" Where is he? What happened?
"Ana. Calm down. Do you remember what happened?"
"Um..a car crash or something. Where is Christian?" Where is my husband?!
"Ana he's..." Grace's face turns so sad. I've never seen her like this. She takes in a deep breath and continues.
"Ana. Christian is still unconscious." She finally says.
"What?" My voice is a whisper, my eyes widen with shock and fear all at once.
"Kate and Elliot suffered minor injuries with a broken arm and leg between them. The car that hit you. They aimed for the front side." I can see the tears in her eyes again. Wait. I'm missing something.
"Blip?! Oh god." My hands automatically move to my bump.
"The baby is going to survive. When they brought you in you had lost so much blood." She points to the blood bag that hangs to my side.
"It was the only way to save the baby. You were lucky someone of your blood type donated today." She tells me with a sad and weak smile.
"Can I see Christian?"
"I'm sorry, Ana. Not at the moment. Later on maybe. They are about to go and scan his brain."
"He's not...?"
"When they first scanned him there was an indication that there may be swelling so they are checking again now. If there is they will have to put him into a coma for a little while till the swelling goes down."
This is a lot to take in. My strong, brave Christian. What happened? Why didn't we see them coming?
"Is Taylor here?" I ask Grace.
"Ana." As if on cue he walks in. He also holds a sad smile. I can see the worry he has for Christian as well.
"I'd like to speak to Taylor alone, please?"
"Of course." With that Grace, Ray and my mom leave the room.
"Taylor what happened?"
"Ana, we looked at the CCTV footage and it was a hit and run. But do you remember anything at all?" He asks. He knows something.
"I'm not sure." I stare at my hands thinking hard. I think I remember...
"I remember...a face. I'm not sure..."
"Take your time, Ana."
"Wait! I do remember. Elliot was complaining about the music and Christian started having an argument with him, then Kate was shouting. I woke up and saw Jack Hyde smiling and walking away. That's all I can remember."
"Jack Hyde? Ana I'm going to up security even more than what Christian already has. Ok?"
"Ok. But...Never mind." Taylor gives me a reassuring smile and leaves me to my thoughts.
What do I do? I need to see Christian. I need to know how he is. I push the covers off of me and pull the wires and tubes from me and push my aching body off the bed. I have never felt so sore in my life. Ok Blip. We're going to go find daddy. I rub my bump then slowly make my way to the door. Opening it I find the hallway to be quiet. Strange. Using the walk for support I walk down the corridor. I look into each room I pass and find them all empty. Where could he be? As I come to the end of the hallway I see nurses and doctors pushing a bed down the way. As they come closer they turn in my direction, I move out of the way. Just as they pass I catch a glimpse of the person on the bed.
"Christian!" As I shout out one of the nurses turns to me and holds me steady.
"Mrs Grey. You should be in bed." He says softly.
"No. I should be with my husband." I demand.
"Mrs Grey, please?"
"No." I push away from him and stagger as I go. I am falling in a matter of minutes and the male nurse quickly grabs me.
"Mrs Grey. Your husband would not wanting you putting your life or your babies life in danger."
"True but he would hate for you to be touching me." I say louder. Christian would not have this but I just need him.
"Ana? What are you doing out of bed?" I hear Grace from behind me. "Come." She orders and I know there is no arguing with her. She holds me in her arms and leads me back to my room. I look in the rooms again hoping to see him.
"He's in the room next you but you must rest, darling." I don't reply. I just need him well and safe.
I don't know how long I've been stuck in this room now. Kate and Elliot have seen me every day as well as my mom and Ray. But no one will let me see Christian. I glance over at the clock and it's 11 at night. I am on my own. The room is dark and quiet. Blip is moving around a lot and the only way he settles down is when Christian is rubbing where he kicks. I can't take this any longer.
Forcing myself up, the cold floor is wonderful to my aching feet. I can only guess that Sawyer will be outside my door. Peeking out I am faced with his back.
"Ana? You should be in bed." He says, now facing me.
"Actually. Could you get me a jug of iced water?"
"Of course. I'll be right back." He walks out of the doorway and disappears around the corner. I take this chance to sneak to Christian's room which is right next to mine. I open the door slowly and I creep in. I follow the dim light that sits at his bedside. The closer I get the more scared I become. His left arm is in a cast as well as his left leg. His face is covered in scars and small bruises.
As I stand at his bed side, my right hand covers my mouth, keeping back a sob and my left hand that covers my bump moves to his free hand. His fingers are cold but his palm is warm.
"Oh Christian." I fall back into the seat next to his bed, not letting go of his hand. I can no longer hold back the tears. Normally it's the other way around. Me asleep for days and him crying for me.
"Please, Christian. Wake up. Blip needs you. I need you." I just stare at his beautiful face. Why me? Why him? Why us?
I am pulled from my thoughts when I hear Sawyer frantically searching for me. It doesn't take him long to find me.
"Ana. Please. You need to rest." I don't reply. I hear him sigh and walk out only to then be followed by Taylor.
"Ana. Christian will be fine. But he won't be if you don't rest." I just shake my head. He also lets out a sigh.
"Alright. I'm doing this for your own good." He says then walks over to me. Reaching down he lifts me into his arms. Bloody hell he is strong!
"Taylor put me down!"
"It's for your own good."
"What on earth?" Grace walks out from my room and is shocked to see Taylor carrying me into my room. I don't fight back. I haven't the energy to fight. I just want my husband. As I am laid back into my bed Grace plugs me back into all the machinery around me. She gives me a sympathetic look and covers me up.
"Good night, Ana. Please stay in this room no matter what." She says then kisses my forehead and leaves. As I am left in the darkness once more my eyes slowly become heavy and I drift into an uncomfortable sleep.
I just sit and stare. Sit and stare. Eat then drink. Sit and stare. Eat then drink.
"Has she said anything? Done anything?" Kate pesters Grace for answers about me. Oh Kate.
"She's eating and drinking but that's it."
"Ana, sweetheart? Are you ok?" My mom asks me. She's been sitting in the chair next to me for a while now. I just nod my head once. My eyes are heavy and sore. I ache everywhere. No one has said anything about Christian in front of me and that only makes me more angry and worried. Sawyer now stays in the room with me. Taylor comes in now and then to talk about the updates on Hyde and the new security but that's it.
"Damn it!" Kate shouts. I know she's worried and hurting. But at this moment in time I cannot think about anything but Christian. He's only in the room next door and I'm not allowed to see him. My own husband. Kate has left the room, most likely to find Elliot. Grace checks my chart and makes a few calls in front of me.
"Ana. Dr. Greene is coming down to check the baby. Ok?" I nod again. She sighs. Everyone sighs. Ray has been sitting in the corner by the window the whole time, only to get up for the toilet. It feels like they are more worried about me than Christian. But why? He's the one who's unconscious, not me.
It feels like forever that I've been in here. A week has gone by and still no sightings of Hyde. Grace has informed me that Christian will be waking up soon. That's it. No 'You can go see him', no 'You can go be with him'. Nothing. Just that he's being woken up soon.
They stopped pumping blood through my veins. I must have lost a lot because I was on it for days. I have a huge bruise from the needle and it's itchy as hell. Blip won't settle down. He needs his father, as do I. I am just uncomfortable. I want to be in MY bed with MY husband. Is that too much to ask for? As another day goes by the same heaviness creeps in and I sleep again.
I am woken by alarmed people. It takes me a while, but I manage to force myself to wake fully. No one is in the room with me. The noise is coming from outside. Pushing the covers off of me I achingly walk over to the door. Leaning against it to hear, I dare not open it because last time I was carried back to bed, I focus all my energy to the sounds outside.
"He's awake but panicking. What do we do Dr. Grey?"
"First we need to calm down. I will go in and see him." Grace must be talking to another doctor. Wait! Christian! Has he...? I open the door, not caring what I have been told and force my way to Christian's room.
I hear him screaming. He must have had a nightmare and is only now to express his fear.
"ANA!" He screams and it breaks my heart into tiny pieces.
"Ana. Back in your room." Sawyer orders.
"No. Can't you hear him? He's..."
"Yes. I can, Ana. That is why you need to be back in bed." I don't think I have ever seen Sawyer this way before. I feel scared and at the same time safe.
He pushes me back to my bed and shuts the door behind him. He watches me like a hawk. His eyes never leaving me.
It's been forever, it feels, and no one has come in to talk to me. Christian has gone from screaming to shouting. He must be so scared. He must think I'm dead? That I lost Blip? I need to comfort him!
I can't take this anymore. I stand back up and walk to the door but Sawyer stops me in my tracks.
"Move."
"No Ana."
"Move NOW!" I shout. Just then Taylor bursts through the doors. He looks concerned and tired. He nods at me and holds his hand out to me. I take it immediately because I know he is taking me to Christian.
I cling to Taylor for dear life. I'm nervous and I don't know why. Taylor helps me through the door and I can hear Grace talking calmly to Christian.
"It's ok my sweet boy. Ana is fine. She is safe."
"I need to see her."
"And you will." Just as we come closer she lifts her head up to me and smiles. "See."
My eyes move from hers to Christian's. His eyes are on mine in a flash. He searches my body. My left hand covering Blip and he smiles ever so sweetly. I can't stop the tears that now flow freely.
"Christian!" I say aloud through my tears.
"Come here, baby." He opens his arms to me and Taylor helps me to him. Grace helps Christian to sit up more so I can sit with him.
As I am finally on the bed with him he locks his arms around me. Leaning into his chest my tears turn into full blow sobs.
"We'll be outside." Grace says, indicting to Taylor that we should be left alone.
We sit in silence for ages. My sobs turn to silent tears.
"Ana." Christian says softly. I look up into his beautiful eyes and smile.
"Oh Christian. I don't know what I would have done without you."
"Same here, baby. How's Blip?" He asks, worry laced in his voice. His right hand rubbing Blip.
"Perfect now. He's missed his daddy so much."
"Really?" He sounds surprised.
"Most definitely. He hasn't settled down properly till now." I smile to him. I lean up a little and kiss him on his lips ever so softly.
We sit in silence once more. Our breathing filling the room. A few minutes later Grace walks in with the others.
"Now. Let's check you over." She says with a smile. Her eyes glassy from freshly shed tears.
