Sorry it's been a while, I've been working and doing my other fanfics

Enjoy x

Jess sat in Harry's room for two hours, staring at her son and at the floor, the tears eventually stopping but she couldn't bring herself to leave the room.

Jess turned her phone on silent to ignore the five text messages and two missed calls from Caleb and a text from Allegra, her friend from school.

She was exhausted and went out to get some food from the fridge, making sure that Gail saw her eat the reheated meal and told her she was going to go to sleep early. It was deliberate of course, she wanted to make sure Christian didn't come in to force her to eat.

Not long later, Ana came home from work and found Christian in his office where he was sitting at the desk, looking exhausted. 'Everything okay?'.

He glanced up and sighed, sitting back in his chair, running a hand through his hair 'It's Jess, she got in a fight at school today and Caleb said he loved her at the Charity night… she didn't say it back. And now she's been sitting around saying she doesn't know what she's going to do with her life… I'm worried about her and I don't really know what to do with her at the moment'.

She sighed, dropping her bag in the doorway and coming over to him, sitting on Christian's lap and giving him a brief kiss as she wound her arm around him.

'She's got a lot going on at the moment, we'll have to talk to her later, just remember how scared and alone she must feel a lot of the time, she hasn't been here that long has she? Where is she now?'.

Christian smoothed a hand over Ana's hair 'I know, I know. You're right, it's just hard, I never know what to say… she's been in Harry's room and her own room since she got back'.

Ana kissed him lightly on the cheek 'It's fine, we're a team Grey'. As she stood up Christian pulled her back down and kissed her deeply for several seconds before breaking apart 'thanks'.

Ana looked in on Harry and saw that he was still asleep and Jess wasn't in there, knocking gently on her door and getting no reply. She opened the door and saw that the lights were off and that Jess was fast asleep under the covers, curtains closed and the room was dark.

Ana didn't want to wake Jess up to have a deep conversation with her, knowing how exhausted she had been recently. Ana wandered back out and saw Gail, who told her that Jess had already eaten and she had made dinner for her and Christian.

It was a rare night that they could eat just the two of them, and sat in the lavish dining room, the lights dimmed and candles lit, both appreciating the time together alone whilst Christian kept thinking about the ring box in his pocket.

Midway through the meal, Christian saw that his phone was ringing and answered it quickly, recognizing that number of his private bank 'Grey'.

'This is Jim Snow Mr Grey'. Christian knew Snow fairly well, he had been managing his account for around three years. 'Is everything okay?'

There was a pause before Snow responded 'your daughter's account that you have with us… uh, there have been some 'irregularities', and as she's not quite so eighteen, I thought you should be informed'.

Christian tightened his grip on the phone in his hand, knuckles white and his teeth gritted together

'What are theses… irregularities?'. He heard the shuffling of paper and the brief tapping on a keyboard 'two deposits of $10,000 have been made in the last two days to two separate accounts'.

'Who were the payments made to?'.

There was a pause filled with more tapping before Snow spoke again 'Marcus Nolan and a Hailey Cole'.

Christian felt physically sick, the man who had raped Jess when she was fifteen and got her pregnant, and the mother who had abandoned her and allowed her to go in and out of a succession of foster homes and have her run away.

He didn't know why Jess had done this but felt that there must have been a proper reason behind her actions.

Ana was looking at him closely, having only heard his half of the conversation and his furious reaction, watching as he muttered something into his phone before hanging up.

'What's happened?'. He stood up, eyes dark 'she's given money to Marcus Nolan and her mother'. Ana blinked in surprise 'why?'.

Christian rolled his eyes slightly 'how the fuck would I know? We need to find out what the hell is going on'.

Christian stormed out of the room, Ana quickly following, leaving their food.
