Taylor POV
I am very happy to see Bulldog is awake. He still has a long way to recovery but he will be fine. The boss is walking around like a shell of a man. 8 weeks watching the love of your life with no improvement. Ana's mom forced him home to change and wash and he is now back by her side.
It's so hard; to watch him every time he is Ana's room. He begs her everyday to please get up. Come back to him. When the boss walks out for some fresh air Elliot then Terry come in and they do the same thing. All 3 of them, shedding tears everyday. Her mom and dad have been here the whole time but now have to go back because of Kate's schooling. I drove them to the airport and Ana's mom asked me to keep her baby safe. I couldn't promise her anything so I just said I would do the best I can. Walking back into the hospital it just feels so unreal. I get back to the boss and he is finally asleep. This makes me relax a bit.
We are now at 10 weeks and I heard they want to take her off life support. This is going to break this family. Bulldog has been visiting her often and seems to be taking it just as hard. He will be back in a few hours. Elliot comes up to me and says there is a commotion downstairs so we go together. To see what's up.
I spot Ryan our new guy detaining a woman. I walk up to them.
"Ryan what is going on here and who is this? I ask and she puts out her hand and says.
"Mr Taylor, Mr Grey it is so nice to finally meet you'll, I am Storm and I run Steel Bound Sir."
"I am at a disadvantage here. You know me." Elliot also looks confused.
"Sir I need to get into contact with Christian Grey today or there will be serious trouble sir. The owner of the club is not well and has named Mr Grey as both executives over the cub."
What the fuck is this woman going on about? We tried to get info of that clubs owner and came back empty every time. Then it rings a bell and I say to her.
"Oh Shit." And she nods at me. I can't believe this. Ana owns the club. Elliot also realizes it and is smiling like a fool. I take her into a staff boardroom and get the boss. He sits down confused. And she says.
"Mr Grey it is a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Storm and I am running the club known as Steel Bound. Sir as you are aware the owner is not well." Christian stops here right there and say.
"Excuse me Storm but no, I am not aware of anything. I tried for months to get info on that place and came back empty. I did not like the fact that my wife was working under them. So what is going on?"
"Mr Grey the club is owned by Mrs. Grey sir and since she is not well, I need you and your brother to run the place. There are important decisions that need to be made that I am not authorized to do sir. I have delayed this trip to talk to you for far to long already sir."
Christian goes pale and walks out the room. He paces the corridor a few times then I hear him laugh. A good, old belly laugh that makes us all smile. He comes back laughing and whipping the tears out his eyes he sits in the chair and shakes his head. Finally after all this time he finds something positive for himself. I can see how proud he is of her.
Christian POV
Ana owns Steel Bound. I should have known. It makes sense now. This woman is so brilliant. That club is the most profitable one in the country I was trying to actually buy into it and expand. I can't help but laugh. I must look crazy here but I don't care. My baby has been sick for 10 weeks and her club is still running with no problems.
She hands me the documents and I go over them. And hand them to Elliot. It's the expansion for a second club. Ana states only Grey Construction has rights to work on it and for GEH to take over financials. She made us sign NDA's, which I had to laugh about but I was a good sport. At least running something for my Ana is going to help me till she gets better. Elliot is shocked at the news but is trilled about her achievements. He also says he tried to get membership there. Which makes us laugh even more.
Elliot POV
Storm hands me an envelope and I notice Ana's handwriting. Inside is a letter to both of us Grey brothers and a single membership card. Storm says there is only one because Ana didn't want Christian as a member and we both laugh at that. Typical Ana. Controlling Christian from a hospital bed hooked up to a ventilator. So I open the letter and read to myself.
To Christian and Elliot
If you are reading this it means I am no longer around.
That's it I completely lose it in there. I pick up a chair and fling it across the room shouting.
"Why the fucking hell would you give us this. She is not dead. It says here that if we get this she is dead. Take this fucking letter and put it wherever the hell you took it from because Ana is going to get up."
I don't even wait for a reply I fling the papers across the table and I walk out of the room and rush back to Ana's room to scream at her. When I get there I can't take it anymore. I break down. I drop to my knees and sob into my hands. I didn't even notice Bulldog and Megan sitting next to Ana. When I finally come to I am laying on the couch with a blanket over me. How I got there I don't know. Its dark out and the doctors are around Ana. Christian is in the doorway looking like shit. He can barely talk and just manages to tell me they are taking her off life support.
"Christian they can't do that. She will not make it. Please bro stop them."
"Elliot don't you fucking think I have tried everything humanly possible. There is nothing I can do it is her wish. Money and power can only get me so far. I have to respect her wishes."
Christian POV
Today had been the hardest day of my life. I have to take my Ana off life support. I tried everything in my power to stop it. I am standing in the door way and Elliot has stormed out the hospital. there is a 50/50 chance she will breath on her own.
Slowly but surely they start removing the pipes and cords. With every movement they make, another piece of my heart shatters. The tears are making my vision blurry. I am aware of my entire family and friends in the corridor waiting and preying. Bulldog is as broken as me and is also crying. When the doctors are all done they check her vitals and they walk out and tap me on the shoulder. Her heart monitor is still beating steady. I make a move to go and hold her and the room alarms start to go off. She is coding and the doctors rush back. Mom is working on her and I am screaming for them to please save her.
"Mom pleases? She can't go. I need her. Save her mom please."
I don't even feel the strong arms pulling at me forcefully removing me from the room. I drop to the ground and Taylor helps me onto a chair. I am sobbing uncontrollably. I don't know how long they worked on getting her back but I knew mom would not give up without a fight. Finally Mom and the other doctors walk out looking beat. She comes over to me and cradle's me into her arms. I feel like the 4-year-old boy all broken again. She is holding onto me like her life depends on it. Then it is like my whole world tilts in the opposite direction when she whispers to me.
