TIME TO START MENDING THE FENCES BUT REMEMBER WHAT I SAID IN MY A/N ON THE LAST CHAPTER
CHEERS
LORNA X
BACK AT THE HOSPITAL, ANA'S POV
Married! She got married! As soon as she flashed her ring's and said they had been married 4 years I could actually feel the anger grip Christians body. Without a word he stood up and left the waiting room. I gave a apologetic look to Phoebe and got up to follow my husband.
I see Miranda, Teddy's longterm girlfriend walking towards me. I can't help it, I don't like her. I have never warmed to her and I don't think she is good enough for my son. I have never felt like this about anyone but she just makes me angry. She does not treat Teddy very nice and I don't for the life of me see what he see's in her. I think that if he loved her they would have been at least engaged by now, they have been together for almost 5 years. When I look at her all I think is "Gold Digging Status Hunting Bitch" I try to be polite for Teddy's sake but I think he knows what I think of her.
"Ana good evening" she gives me a fake smile And then the fake Hollywood air kiss on the cheek. In my head I am screaming "That's MRS GREY to you" but I keep it in and give her my own fake smile
"Miranda, what are you doing here? I though you were spending tonight with your mother?"
"I was but Theodore called me and demanded I come down here to keep him company, why I don't know because everyone is here! I mean what is the point of me sitting in a cold hospital all night, he has a cell phone he can call me" she huffs like it is the most inconvenient thing in the world to support Teddy while his grandfather is ill.
"Indeed... I have to get Christian, excuse me" I grit out and turn on my heels towards Taylor who is shaking his head having watched Miranda and I. He just points to a room just off to the left. I didn't need him to tell me where Christian is, I can hear him swearing from out here. When I open the door he is pacing like a caged lion, tugging his hair and swearing like a trooper.
"Christian..when we have sex I like running my hands through your hair, it turns me on, if you keep tugging at it, pulling it out, don't blame me when you turn bald and I only have sex with you once a week!"
"Like you could go with only having sex once a week" he smirks but stops ripping his hair, I walk over and wrap my arms around him and he sits down with me on his lap
"She married him Ana...she got married and she didn't even tell anyone"
"Christian, you have not spoken to her in 4 years! The last time you spoke to her you called her a whore, do you blame her for keeping it quite? I expect she was worried that you would say something to make her feel bad and baby, no girl wants to be sad on her wedding day" he looks up at me with his lost look and sighs
"I am never going to be able to make it up to her am I? I should never have said those things to her, she was always a good girl, well perfect girl, I had the perfect daughter and I ruined it"
"Do you feel different about Luke now? Do you wish you would have given them a chance?"
"No I don't feel different about Luciano...but...I wish I had done things different, maybe if I had just let them date it would have fizzled out, but instead I forced them together"
"I don't think it would have fizzled out, you only have to look at them Christian to see they are in love"
"18 Ana she was 18, you don't know if you love someone at 18"
"Christian if it is the right person it can happen at any time, think about if you had met me when you were 18?"
"Ana you would have been 12!" he rolls his eyes
"Ok then what if I was 18 and you would have been 24, would you have walked away from me because you thought I was to young?" he furrows his brow and gets a look of deep concentration, he reaches up and pulls my lips from my teeth
"No.. I would have pursued you anyway...I'v seen pictures of you at 18 Mrs Grey, you were fucking hot" he laughs and I swat his chest. I nuzzle into him more and feel warmth spread through me. I have always been the most comfortable on his lap, it's home.
"Christian...maybe this is our chance, I wont say your chance because we are in this together because we are a team, this is our chance to fix our problems with Phoebe... But that means we have to accept Luke"
"I suppose I could try... I miss my daughter Ana...do you think she would talk to me?"
"If you make the first move I am sure she would Christian...but Hell would freeze over before she spoke to you first, she is her fathers daughter at the end of the day" I smirk making him chuckle. I kiss him softly on the lips and he deepens the kiss so I wrap my hands around the back of his neck pulling him in more. I am getting lost in my husband...but then I remember
"OH MY GOD!" I shout in horror
"What's wrong?"
"Shit!" I get off his lap and adjust my shirt which I did not notice he had opened.
"Ana if you do not tell me what is wrong right now I will put you across my knee!"
"Christian, Miranda walked into the waiting room before I came in here"
"And?"
"Phoebe is in there" he gets a look of understanding on his face.
"Shit!"
"Come on lets go" I grab his hand and pull him out the room.
Phoebe and Miranda hate each other with a passion. They have been enemy's since kindergarten and in high school when Phoebe was about 16 she got suspended because her and Ava had gotten into an argument with Miranda and another girl and Phoebe flipped and punched Miranda so hard in the face she broke her nose.
She got in so much trouble for that because Miranda's parents pressed charges. Carrick and Christian managed to get her off but Phoebe had to attend a anger management camp over the summer for angry kids.
She hated it at first but then she made a few friends and the next summer she volunteered to teach basketball to smaller kids. Even though Phoebe was a shy and quite teenager 99.9% of the time she did have a temper and on the very rare occasion she would lose it she always ended up injured because she would punch walls, but summer camp worked for her, she came out of her shell and when her temper would rise she would count back from 20 and it worked for her.
When we walk into the waiting room you could cut the atmosphere with a knife. Miranda is just glaring at Phoebe, but to Phoebe's credit she is trying to ignore her by talking to Ava but I can see the tick in her jaw, she is bottling it in.
Christian goes over to sit in the seats we were in earlier but I guide him over to the seats in front of Phoebe and Luke. They both tense up and just look at us. I am willing Christian to say something...anything to break the tension... he finally pulls his shoulders back and looks at both of them
"Congratulations on getting married" I think he has sent them both intoshock and to my shock it is not Phoebe that speaks to him first but Luke
"Thank you Mr Grey" he nods his head Christians way and then looks at Phoebe. I have to hold in my giggle when he elbows her softly in the ribs to make her talk to her father, it works but you can still feel the coldness in Phoebe's voice.
"Thank you Christian" and she nods at him as well.
I can see the hurt in Christians eye's when she call's him Christian and not Dad or daddy like she always did but he just gives her a small smile.
"Would anyone like a drink or something to eat?" Luke asks
Both Christian and I say no thank you and Phoebe asks for a Pepsi. He gives her a kiss on the temple and walks over to the vending machines. I see Frankie and Danny walk over and talk to Luke and he nods his head and shakes their hands just as Danny and Frankie walk towards us.
"Hey Kiddo, Danny and I are going to the hotel and get settled in, you going to be ok?"
"Yeah Frankie I will be fine, I will see you both in a few hours" they both kiss her on the head and walk out the door.
"You seem very close to them both" Christian tries to get a conversation started just as Luke comes back handing Phoebe a Pepsi and a twinkie.
"Yeah I am close to them, we get on really well" Phoebe is wringing her hands in her lap, still very uncomfortable in her fathers presence but I can see she wants this, she may not know it or admit it but she wants her relationship back with her father. Luke and I share a look and at that moment I know that we are both on the same page, we will help them repair the damage
"Umm...how have you been ? Your heart ok?" she smirks
"Um yeah my heart is fine, never had a problem, why do you ask that?" He ask confused
"Because I sometimes read the Seattle social pages, you know just to keep up with the gossip, seems my baby sister likes to party" she starts to giggle and Christian scowls at first but then laughs himself looking happier than he has in years just because of who he is laughing with. Luke and I share a smile and sit back to let them have their bonding session.
"Yeah she sure is giving me a run for my money, I am just glad Kelly is giving Elliot the same run" he laughs
Carly is our 18 year old party girl, along with her cousin Kelly, Kate and Elliots daughter who is also 18, have been grounded more times than any of the other kids combined, caught smoking at 15, Grounded! Sneaked out to a all night rave, Grounded, went to Florida for spring break without telling anyone, almost gave her father a heart attack! Double-Grounded! she is a mix between Mia and Kate! God help us, but she has a good heart and I know she is not the type of girl to give in to peer pressure, she IS the peer, she is a leader not a follower as she likes to tell us.
"Well I bet grandma and grandpa are pleased that karma seems to be coming back to you both"
"How about you? How have you been?" god bless them they are both trying
"Yeah I am doing great, umm we have a penthouse on 5th avenue over looking the park which I love, I have a puppy called Domino that Luke got me for my birthday and all in all we are very happy"
"Are you still at Columbia?"
"Umm well no... I kinda...quit my second year. I just wasn't into it, it was boring, so I took a leaf out of your book. I started up my own business. I saw a run down nightclub and Luke and I bought it, refurbished it and it made a nice little profit, so we bought another one and then another and now we have 49 clubs and restaurants across the East coast" she smiles.
Christians jaw has dropped
"You own 49 clubs and restaurants!...in 2 years?"
"Mr Grey, Phoebe makes it sound like I helped but really all I did for the first year was have everything put in my name and sign the paperwork because she was not 21 yet, but then I transferred everything over to her on her birthday, she scouts the venues, negotiates the sales, hires the builders and the staff, does all the marketing for the opening events, she really is remarkable" he grabs her hand and kisses it softly
"I always knew she was...I am proud of you Phoebe, sounds like you have become quite the business mogul" he laughs And I can actually see Phoebe soften
"Thank you,daddy" she whispers and smiles at him.
Just when I think she is going to hug him, the moment is broken by the gold digging status hunting bitch that is Miranda.
"Clubs? I bet they are strip clubs or massage clubs that offer happy endings and dearest Phoebe shows all the new recruits how a professional does it" she sneers.
If looks could kills she would be dead right now with the look Christian, Luke and I give her, but she just smirks. Phoebe stands up and slowly walks over to her with Luke right behind her. Teddy stands up and stands behind Miranda glaring at Luke. Christian and I stand in between both couples just in case something kicks off.
"Miranda I assure you my establishments are not the kind you think, however if I ever do go down that route I will be sure to call your mom and offer her a job" Phoebe smiles.
Christian and I both cover our laughs with coughs when she says it and Miranda cant throw a "Yo Momma" back at her because, well I am right here, and she knows she will be thrown out on her ass by Christian if she bad mouths me.
"My mother is a lady! I heard you got married at 18 like a cheap little tart you are" she sneers but Phoebe does not even flinch, she is a Grey after all, even if her name is Luciano now.
"So let me get this straight..you think I am a cheap tart because I got married at 18.. Yet you and Teddy have been living together for what, coming up 5 years? See where I come from that is called living in sin Miranda" Phoebe gets right in her face now but Luke has his arm around her waist and Teddy has hold of Miranda but it doesn't stop her from trying to get Phoebe where it hurts
"Let's not forget that even your father called you a whore, everyone knew what you were in high school, the school bike"
Phoebe slaps her across the face before any of us can move. Miranda is so shocked she cant speak and just stands there holding her face but Luke is seething.
"Grey, put your bitch on a leash or I will" he spits
"Who the fuck do you think you are calling my girlfriend a bitch Luciano" Teddy snarls
"Theodore, Take Miranda and get her out of my sight, right now" Christian says making Teddy's jaw drop
"Dad you're siding with HIM!"
"Son on this occasion yes I am, since he got here he has supported your sister and asked everyone if they needed anything, all Miss Shaw has done is snap at the nurses and give everyone dirty looks, now I ask you again to get her out of my face" he says in his CEO voice. Teddy grabs her hand and walks her towards the door but before he does Luke calls her name.
"One more thing Miss Shaw, My wife was not the school bike"
"And how would you know? You never knew her back then, she slept with half the football team by the time we got to senior year. I am sorry to inform you Luke" she actually bats her eyes at him right in front of Teddy.
"Miss Shaw you are nothing but a dirty liar"
"How dare you call my girlfriend a liar Luciano! for all you know she is telling the truth"
"I know she is not telling the truth Grey" he says impassively
"How?" Teddy spits getting redder and redder in the face
"Because my WIFE was a VIRGIN on our WEDIING NIGHT!"
