Ana's POV

After we told Elliot and Kate yesterday, today Christian and I are having lunch with his parents and Mia to tell them that we are getting married. I'm nervous. I love Christian's family, but I'm not sure if they will like the fact that we are getting married so soon.

"Do you want me to ask Taylor to make a quick stop and take a walk so I can fuck you in the back of the car." I gape at Christian who just whispered that into my ear and he laughs.

"Relax Ana, Jesus you are so tense, my parents will be over the moon. But I mean it I will tell Taylor to make a stop if that is what it takes to get you relaxed." Damn it he is serious. Hmm we could ... no Ana, no! Shit it's like I'm addicted to him fucking me as often as possible, but right now I just want to tell his parents.

"No, thank you, I'm fine."

"I know you are tempted" he smirks and I poke my tongue out him. "Even if I am tempted, I don't want to get arrested for having sex in a car in the middle of day on a public street. So let's leave car sex to another time."

"Good point."

Once we arrive at Bellevue we all go into the dinning room to have lunch. We sit down and Christian looks at asking me silently if they time is right and I nod.

"Mom, Dad, Mia. Ana and I have to tell you something."

"Oh, go on honey what do you want to tell us?" Graces says smiling and now I'm really nervous.

"Ana has consented to be my wife. We are getting married." For a second there is an utter silence in the room, which is broken by Mia's squeal of joy.

"Oh my god! That's amazing, do you have a date? Wait you aren't pregnant are you Ana?"

"No I'm not pregnant Mia" I smile and she jumps up and hugs first Christian and then me. "Show me your ring Ana!"

I take it from my pants pocket and put it back on. "Wow, that ring is amazing." she gasps and Grace comes around to congratulate and hug us as well before Carrick does the same and then leaves to ask the housekeeper to bring champagne.

Once we all have a glass of champagne we sit down again and I'm relieved that this went over so well.

"So have you set a date yet?" Grace wants to know.
"Yes, we want to marry on the 29th of October and if you and Dad are ok with it, we want to marry here in the backyard."

"Wait are we talking about next year or October 29th next month?" Grace looks alarmed.

"Next month." Christian confirms and now his parents and Mia are shocked. "Why the hurry Christian, we could plan a wonderful spring wedding and..."

"Mom, please, Ana and I want to marry next month. We want a small wedding Ana has about 30 people she wants to invite and I was thinking about the same number on my part so this is going to be a small wedding. A month is more than enough time to plan everything."

"What about an engagement party Christian?" Christian looks lost, I guess it didn't really occur to him that people would expect an engagement party, so I jump in.

"We don't need one Grace. The wedding is so soon that even with planning the party and sending out the invitations it would probably be the week before the wedding. So there is no sense for us to have an engagement party."

"Well, I guess that is right. Ana I will call your mom this evening together we will get this done for you two."

"Oh, umm my parents don't know yet, we are going to Montesano tomorrow, but I will tell my Mom to call you." Grace seems satisfied with my answer and I can tell Mia will be involved in the planning of the wedding as well since she is already checking things on her phone.

"Have you talked to your lawyers yet? I would be happy to help you with the pre-nup." Carrick offers and before I can answer Christian does.

"We are not going to have a pre-nup."

"Christian that is crazy. Ana this is not against you, but if you ever decide that you want to go sep..."

"No pre-nup!" Christian growls and I can tell he is mad, but I guess it's best to bring this up now.

"Christian your father is right and..."

"No, abso-fucking-lutely not Ana! Do you hear me we are not going to plan our divorce before we even get married."

"Christian look, I don't want to this either, but fact is that I can't marry without a prenup."

"Oh so you think I'm after your money?" Crap now he is really fucking pissed. "No, of course not! But my fathers will says that if I'm going to marry, I have to have a prenup or my 95 percent of my inheritage will go to charity. I mean I'm ok with that. I don't need the money, so if you really don't want..." He holds one hand up to stop me and kisses me softly.

"It's ok baby, we get one. Actually, seeing it from your Dad's point of view it really makes sense to me. So Dad would you meet with Ana's and my lawyers and work something out for us?"

"Of course, do you just want to make financial agreements or also about custody of future children?"

"Just the financials" we both say at the same time. "But you do want kids right?" Christian rolls his eyes and I giggle, he already told me how much Grace wants grandchildren.

"Not now Mom, maybe in 5 years or so." he anwsers and I nod in agreement. I'm only 22, there is no way I want to be a mom right now.

"Why so long, it's not like you couldn't afford it" Mia pouts. "Frankly Mia, it's because right now I don't want to share Ana with anyone. Besides Ana is your age, would you want a child right now?"

"No, but if you had one I could babysit it and give it back when it starts to cry or has a poopie diaper." she grins making everyone on the table laugh.

"Sorry Mia, not going to happen any time soon. Go and try your luck with Elliot maybe you can convince him to knock Kate up."

"Christian!" Grace admonishes, but he just smiles at her. "So what do you have in mind for your wedding?"

"You have to ask Ana Mom, I would just go to Vegas tomorrow so the planning of the wedding is Ana's thing. All I need is the date and time and I will there."

Grace doesn't look pleased at all but asks me what I want to do. "Well, since Christian wants to get married here I thought about a tent in the backyard, I'm not sure about the colortheme or any of the details right now. Kate will be my maid of honor and Mia, I hope that you will be my bridesmaid?"

"Yes, of course. Oh we need to go dress shopping and I need to call Kate. We need to plan the bachelorette party and..." at this Christian glares at Mia. "What, you will have a bachelor party so Ana can have her bachelorette party, too."

"No, I don't want you or Ana to get drunk and watch strippers"

"I hope you know that if I don't get a party you won't have one either."

"Fine works for" Christian looks very pleased with himself and to be honest I don't need a bachelorette party or strippers. Hell, I'm going to marry Christian and I highly doubt that any stripper could look even half as good as he does.

"Oh come on Ana, please let us arrange a party for you" Mia begs. "Look Mia I really don't need a bachelorette party, why don't we have a small party before the wedding all together. Just a little get together with cocktail and drinks."

"Boys and girls together?" I can tell by her tone that she doesn't like the idea, but actually I don't want Christian to have a bachelor party either. It's not that I don't trust him, but with his dislike for women that come on to him that might end ugly without me ready to calm him down if needed.

"Yes, why not Mia, this could be fun." I answer and I see Christian giving her his 'take it or leave it' look. "Ok, agreed, I will talk with Kate and Elliot about it."

"Good, since you kids have tackled this topic down, let's get back to the wedding. Ana how soon do you think you could give me the list with the people you want to invite?"

"I can write it down for you after lunch Grace, though my Mom will probably want to add some more people to that list."

"I will talk to her. Oh I'm so happy for both of you." She gives us the biggest smile and I finally relax. Now all that is left is telling it my parents and then all I have to do is organize a wedding in four weeks. Wow, I guess this will be the craziest four weeks of my life.

Christian's POV

Ana seems as nervous today as she was yesterday. I don't get it. We already have her fathers blessing, so I'm sure they will be happy for us. I'm glad Ana came up with the party idea instead of two separate bachelor/bachelorette parties. Even thinking about some guy stripping in front of my fiancee makes me want to beat the shit out of someone.

Besides who came up with this shit? I don't want some cheap slut to strip in front of me and touch me and I'm damn sure as hell won't let some fucker take his clothes of in front of Ana. And even without the whole stripper business, I don't want Ana to get drunk without me nearby to get her home safely.

When we are getting close to Ana's parent's house she suddenly grabs my hand and squeezes hard. "Baby, what is wrong?"

"You see that huge tree over there, at the side of the road?"

"Yes, sure why?"

"That's where I tried to... where I had the accident. I usually don't take this road to parents. In fact, I haven't seen it since then."
"Do you want us to turn around and take a detour?"

"No, it's fine. It just took me back for a second." She takes a shuttering breath and I can't see her like that. I unbuckle her seatbelt pull her in my lap and hold her tightly to my chest. Ana seems to relax a little and I make a mental note to ask Taylor to make a detour on our way back, so we won't come across this road again.

Fuck, only thinking that Ana could have died here is a terrible thought and that it is her sister's fault makes me mad. I wish that Ana could put this behind her, but I know she needs closure. Damn, if it was up to me, I would find a way to make her sister feel what Ana went through, but I can't. Ana wouldn't want me to do anything and I guess my soon to be parents in law wouldn't appreciate it either if I would make the life of her other hell.

"We are here" Ana announces with a smile when Taylor pulls up in the driveway of her parent's home. It's a nice home. Not half as big as my parent's place but Ana told me her parents made a deal about their home. Ana's Mom paid for it, but her Dad built it. I'm not sure I would have made that deal, but I know Ana's Dad is a carpenter who was in the Army before, so he wouldn't have the money to buy a house like that.

The whole money thing is something Ana and I need to talk about soon. Once she is my wife I don't want her to use her own money. Call me old fashioned, but I'm the man and I want to pay for everything my wife needs or wants and I will buy a lot of stuff for her she doesn't even know she wants, just to make her happy.

"Come on let's get inside. Oh, one thing. My Mom will ask us to stay for dinner. She loves to cook, but most of the time her food tastes terrible. So if she asks and we can't find a good excuse to leave before dinner, just try to get it down. I have meds for nausea, cramps and everything else in my purse." She looks apologetic and I'm alarmed, damn now I really don't want to stay for dinner.

"I'll keep that in mind. Now come, let's go inside and baby, I will find an excuse for dinner" Ana giggles as we get out of the car and leads me to the front door, where she gets the keys from under the doormat.

"You are kidding, right? Who keeps the keys in that place, fuck don't you worry that someone is going to break in?"

"No, my mom puts those keys there every morning for my brother. He tends to forget to take his keys with him, but she takes them back inside every night."

She opens the door and leads me through the house, but once we enter a room Ana comes to a halt so suddenly that I bumped right into her and grab her just into so she doesn't fall. I look up and see the reason why Ana has stopped so suddenly. Standing in the kitchen next to her mother is her sister. Well fuck!

"Ana! Oh sweatheart, it's so nice that you are here" her mother says, but Ana is still routed to the spot looking at her sister who is looking anywhere, but at Ana.

"Mom, I umm we... nevermind we should leave and stop by another time." with that Ana rushes out and her mom follows her. I'm just about to leave the kitchen, too when I see her sister smirk. Fuck me that's enough.

"Jenny we need to talk!" She looks surprised, but I can tell she is just putting on a show. Fuck, that bitch is already getting on my nerves.

"What do you want Christian?"

"It's Mister Grey to you" I respond coldly and she frowns. "Why, you are dating my sister!"

"That doesn't mean I have to be friendly with you, so let's cut the crap. To me you are nothing but a no good lying bitch. Sadly Ana loves you and she is still trying to understand why you won't talk to her. So now you have two choices. One you finally grow up and talk to her and try to make up for what you did or two you tell her you don't want anything to do with so she can finally close that chapter of her life.

But what is not going to happen is you continuing this stupid behaviour because I'm not going to watch you making Ana upset. So what is it going to be?"

She gapes at me, but I just stare back. She might be able to play the nice little girl in front of her parents, but I'm not buying it and I'm not going to let her walk all over Ana's feelings.

"So, you think that I'm going to do what ever you want? Well, fuck you asshole. I'm not done with Ana. Not nearly and first I'm going to make sure that she will see her perfect boyfriend in a completely new light."

For a second I try to understand what she is talking about, but suddenly she messes up her ponytail and rips her shirt open. Fuck me, that bitch is crazy.

"MOOOMMMMM!" she screams at the top of her lungs making Ana and Carla run into the kitchen.

"Jenny, oh my god what happened?" Carla looks from Jenny to me while Ana stares at her open mouthed.

Jenny points her finger at me and actually starts to cry. "He wanted to kiss me and when I told him that I wouldn't do that because he is with my sister he tried to force himself at me."

"What the fuck? I wouldn't even try to touch you if you were the last woman on earth you fucking slut. Who the fuck do you think you are?" Damn it, I want to beat the shit out of that fucking bitch.

"Ana, that's it I'm going to call the police." her mother hisses. "Mom, you can't do that she is lying, Christian would never do that" Ana pleads.

"Oh, so you think your sister is lying?" Carla is furious and I'm barely holding on to my temper.

"She is lying Mom." We all turn around and see Patrick who is coming down the last couple of stairs that lead to the second floor of the house.

"Patrick what is going on?"

"I heard Christian talking and thought Ana is here and that my trick might worked."

"Trick?"

"Later Mom, anyway he was telling her that she has to stop acting like that towards Ana. That he wouldn't allow her to treat Ana like that. Jenny answered that she wasn't finished with Ana and that she will make her see Christian in a different light. Next she messed up her hair and ripped her shirt open. Christian didn't do anything Mom. It was all Jenny I swear Mom, don't call the police he hasn't done anything."

Carla looks shattered. "Jenny I'm only going to ask you this one time. Did you do this to yourself?"

"He called me a lying bitch Mom. I don't like him, he..."

"Enough! Jennifer I want you to go upstairs change and then drive back to college. We are going to discuss this the next time you will be home. I won't tolerate this behavior, now go!" Carla's voice is eery calm, but everyone can tell just looking at her that she is about to lose it.

"Fine, I'm leaving. God I hate you damned bitch, but you will pay!" she yells at Ana and next she steps forward and is about to kick Ana's injured knee, but I jump between them and grab her by the shoulders.

"Now listen you fucking little bitch. If you ever try anything like that again, I will forget everything my parents taught me and beat the shit out of you. Don't test me or you will regret it." With that I let go of her and pull Ana who is crying into my arms, while her sister storms off.

"It's ok baby, I won't let her hurt you. I promise." I whisper into her hair and kiss the top of her head.

"Christian, please look after her, I need to find Ray, he is working in the backyard." I nod at her mother and she hurries out of the house.

"You ok Patrick?" I ask her brother who looks pretty shaken. "Yes, Jenny can be a bitch. I just thought she would come around." Damn he is going to cry. Ana hears the tears in his voice as well and lets go of me to hug her brother.

"I tried Ana, I wanted you two to make up." Patrick sobs and I frown, though suddenly I a thought comes to my mind.
"It was you, right? You've send that bear to Ana?"

"Jenny's handwriting is easy to copy. I thought maybe Ana would call her and they would finally talk things out. I'm sorry Ana."

Ana's POV

I look at my brother and feel like shit. I know he wants his sister to get along, but after the stunt Jenny just pulled I have made up my mind. Going forward I won't feel bad that we are not talking.

"Patrick, I know you want Jenny and me to get along, but I don't think this will happen. I'm sorry pee-bear." I use the nickname I gave him to lighten the mood and he smiles a little.

"You promised you wouldn't call me that in front of anyone else anymore" he pouts and I kiss his cheek. "I didn't tell him why I call you that." I smirk and he tries to look mad, but fails.

"Are you mad because it was me who has send you the bear?"

"No, and thank you for doing it, the bear means a lot to me." I hug him again and just then my Mom returns with my Dad and fills him in about what has happened.

To say that my Dad was pissed about what Jenny did would be putting it lightly. So, we all needed a little time to calm down and I decided to take a walk with Christian, to show him some of my favorite places.

After we came back to the house we had no choice, but to agree to stay for dinner. So here we are now sitting at the table and again my Mom's food is barely edible. Christian who normally eats like a horse is picking at his food and looks like he is making escape plans, so I decide to share our news now, as this might divert the attention from eating.

"Mom, Dad, Patrick. Christian and I came here today to tell you something." Now I have their full attention and I grab Christian's hand for support. Geez, I'm nervous.

"Christian has asked me to marry him and I've said yes."

"Oh my god! Have you heard that Ray? Our baby is going to get married. Oh Ana, I'm so happy for you two" My Mom rushes over to and hugs first me and then Christian. Followed by my Dad and Patrick.

With that dinner is forgotten and while my Mom engulfs me in a conversation about the wedding, my Dad, Patrick and Christian leave the room to talk about guy stuff. After nearly two hours of talking about the perfect flower arrangements, the pros and cons of writing your own vows, what color themes are best for an autumn wedding and many more stuff I'm glad when the men return and Christian says that we have to leave. We make our goodbyes and my Mom tells me she will come to Seattle next week, so we can meet with Grace, Kate and Mia and make more plans and first arrangements for the wedding.

Once I'm in the back of the car I sink deep into my seat and sigh. "Wow, what a day. Do you think Taylor can make a stop at a drive-through? I'm starving." Christian smirks at me and bends forward to reach out to the front seat and grabs something.

When he leans back I can see it is a plastic food box. "Lots of cheese, no onions and more mustard than ketchup." he says with a grin. "No way, don't tell me that is one of my Dad's special cheeseburgers?!"

"Yes, it is. While you were talking to your Mom, we had burgers and beer. I have to say your Dad makes better food than your Mom."

"I know" I grin and devour my burger.

When I have finished my food I feel a little better and Christian hands me a water bottle.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome baby. Ana there is something we need to discuss." he is all serious suddenly, which has my full attention.

"What is wrong?"

"It is about your sister Ana. After today, she is officially number one on my shitlist. I'm going to have someone watching her. I don't trust her. For some reason she wants to hurt you and I won't let her. I understand if you don't like this, but..." I stop him with a kiss and then smile at him.

"Christian, after what has happened today I'm done. I'm done feeling guilty. I'm done thinking about getting in touch with her and I'm done with putting all the blame on Josh and seeing her as naive. I don't know what I have done to make her feel like this about me, but I don't care anymore.

She tried to make it look like you attacked her and I won't forgive that. So if you feel it is best to have her watch, then I'm ok with it. She will always be my sister, but that doesn't mean we have to be close. I've spend four years torturing myself by trying to understand her, but not anymore."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, maybe one day she will come around, but right now I don't want her in my life. I want to focus on the things that are making me happy. Do you know what is number one that list?" I ask with a smile.

"Tell me."

"It's you. I love you so much."

"And I love you, baby."

Jenny will come up again in later chapters, but the next chapter will focus on another topic C&A need to get over with before the wedding...Next update Sunday or Monday...If you have time, leave me a review :)
