Christian POV

All I herd was the screams of pain from Ana and I bolted. When I got their she was laughing.

"Christian I am ok. I promise. My muscles are so sore I am battling to get the jacket off."

I can't stop laughing because this all sounds so ridiculous.

"Cut the fucking jacket off then." Christian says

"Hell fucking no. Nobody is touching my jacket with a scissors. If I can't get it off now I will wait for my muscles to relax then I will take it off."

"Anna doesn't that sound ridiculous that could take a few days."

"Well, then get used to this look because I am not cutting it off. You'll can all help me then, to remove it just move me slow."

"Anna don't be stubborn I will buy you 10 jackets like this tomorrow. Cut the fucking jacket if it is causing you pain."

"I said no. I can buy myself 10 jackets to but that is not the point this jacket was a gift from my best friend and it has sentimental value to me. So no I am not destroying it."

Fuck. I hate to see my baby in pain. She is so stubborn. Fucking sentimental value.

"Fine have it your way."

She scrunched her eyes tight and tightened her jaw and we all went to work on removing the fucking jacket her whole body was shaking with the pain she was in. It got so bad the tears were rolling down her cheeks. The shock when it came off was bad. Her entre upper back was one huge black, purple, and yellowish bruise. Taylor, Alex and Bulldog confirmed it was just skin bruising and Taylor showed us his and it was on his entire back and was twice as bad as Ana's we all winced at the pain but he said it looks worse that it felt. It still looked so bad.

Ana – that was fucking torture. I was exhausted after removing the jacket. Elliot went home via the subway and Christian carried me to our room and put me in our spar bath with the jets going full blast on my sore muscles. It felt so good. When I was finished he rubbed me with muscle oil and I changed into a set of gym pants and a sports tank top. It made it easier to wear my braces.

"Ana please remind me tomorrow to buy you new gym pants"

"Christian these are new I don't need anymore. I like these they are sexy and comfortable and you got them for me baby."

"Anna those are to short and yes they are sexy but I want to get you longer ones."

I had to laugh at him. My poor, baby. He is so insecure and possessive. Christian helped me to strap up my arm and I settled into my comfortable bed and drifted off to sleep in my husbands arms.

Christian POV

We were all ready and packed into the SUV's waiting for Ana to get up. I tried to wake her but it was no use she was to tired so I wrapped her in a blanket and carried her to the car. I kept her safe on my lap. The others were laughing at her but she has been through a shit load lately and her body has been taking the most torture. I tucked her into the bed on the plane and left her to sleep. I to had to laugh when we landed in Aspen and she was still out cold so I picked her up again and carried her out. She didn't even stir. An hours drive and we were at our holiday 15 bedroom cottage. Elliot showed everybody around while I took Ana to the master bedroom and tucked her in. I then slipped off my clothes and crawled in behind her and went to sleep.

Ana POV

I don't know if I was dreaming or not but I felt like the bed was moving. I tried very hard to get up but I couldn't. I guess my body needed to rest after yesterday. I was so relaxed and comfortable until I heard it again a loud bomb going off and I screamed as loud as I could.

"Ana baby wake up. You are safe baby get up." I opened my eyes to a beautiful set of grey eyes looking back at me with concern.

"It was another bomb Christian."

"No baby it's not you are safe here. That was one of the dirt road bikes back firing." Oh I feel so stupid now. I managed to calm myself down and was puzzled to where we were. Christian noticed me scanning mu surroundings and said.

"Don't be afraid baby we are in our room in Aspen."

"Did you say Aspen Christian? How is that possible? I went to bed in Seattle. Didn't I?"

"Yes to the first, third and forth question baby. To answer you second one. I did try to wake you up this morning but you were too tired. So I carried you into the plane and then into bed when we got here."

"Oh that is so embarrassing. I am not going to live this down am I?" I get out of bed and Christian helps me to put my straps on. He passes me a crutch that goes comfortable under my arm to support me up and wow I can walk on my own I am so excited a single tear slips out the corner of my eye and my love kisses it away.

Elliot POV

Taylor just came and told me off about the bike back firing. Ana woke up screaming because it sounded like a bomb to her. I felt so bad. We were all seated having supper when the two of them decided to join us.

"Hey sleeping beauty welcome back to the land of the living." And she gets so embarrassed.

"Fuck off Elliot. Leave my wife alone."

"But she looks so sexy in her gym clothes Christian." This time Megan swats me at the back of the head making everybody laugh. Christian is still not happy with my comment.

"Sorry Ana for my inappropriate comments." I said to make everybody happy. We all ate a lovely supper then went to go chill in the entertainment room.

We have been in Aspen a week now and we were having a good time. The weather is terrible this evening so we are all in the games room. Some were playing X box some darts and we were on the pool table.

My baby brother thought he was cleaver so he made an open bet.

"Elliot lets wager against a game of pool. Terry and I versus you and anyone who is willing to loose." Christians says laughing. So of course Ana ups the stakes and says.

"Ok how about you'll have a tournament. Make up teams and play knock out. The last two teams standing will play for the big prize." I saw the smile on her face then she winked at me. Only Alex knew how good she was at the game. With her scientific skills she had a way to read the table. But in her state nobody dare ask her to play in there team.
