Hello. Long time no see. I sincerely apologize. I've been super busy with dumb stuff and now I finally had a good hour and a half to work on this! So enjoy.

Also, I wanted to tell you that CI made Christian and Ana a little closer in age. I didn't want my Fifty Shades to be Fifty Years Old yet. Though, I'm sure he'd still be banging.

Thirty Minutes Earlier

Emilie got into her car, after giving her boss a fake excuse to go home. She claimed she had a stomach virus and was very ill, and of course, her boss fell for it. She went in her car and took a deep breath, closing her eyes. Emilie jumped at the buzzing sound coming from her phone. "Hi baby."

"Hey babe. I heard you were going home sick." Teddy sounded worried on the other end of the phone.

"How did you know that?" Emilie asked.

There was a slight pause. "I told your assistant to inform me if something ever happened like you going home early. She called me and told me."

Emilie rolled her eyes. "Really, Grey?"

"I know you're rolling your eyes. And yes. I want to make sure you're okay. Are you okay? Do you want me to come over?"

"No! I mean, no thank you. I'm very sick and I don't want you to get it."

"I'll take my chances. My vow one day will be 'in sickness and in health'." Teddy was almost begging to come over. Jeeze. He really does love me. But he can't know. Emilie smiled at the thought.

"Well, that vow doesn't go into order until we're married, Teddy. Look, I appreciate it, but I really just want to go home and get some rest."

There was another brief pause. "You're not getting cold feet already, are you?"

Emilie giggled. "No, Ted, I'm not. I love you. You know that. Could you come over when you get off work? Like at six?"

"Of course, babe. You sure you don't want me to come now?"

"No. All I need is a good nap and I'll be fine."

"Okay babe. I'll be there. Get some rest. I love you." Teddy sounded like he was worried.

"I'll be fine, Teddy. I love you too."

"Laters."

And the line was disconnected. Emilie exhaled and then turned the ignition.

Emilie felt a cold chill run up her back. She didn't like being in this place. She couldn't believe her older brother, who had protected her from everything, was in jail. And so was Jen! Emilie never understood why they had traveled so much, but they must've been running away from something. She had tried to avoid any contact with him after she heard that he was in authorities. Her brother was so smart, what could he have possibly done. After passing through an intense security check, she finally went walked into the room where people could talk. There were about ten telephones with little privacy screens on one wall. She looked at the available windows until she saw him. She couldn't even look at him, she was so upset. She walked over to the telephone, took a seat, and picked it up.

"Hello brother."

"Hello Emilie. Thanks for being here."

Emilie just nodded.

"You look great, Em."

Emilie's eye's flashed with hurt. "You look horrible. What happened, 'Ric? You abandon our family for 18 years, as soon as you married that devil of a woman, and I see you again for the first time in prison?" tears started to swell in her eyes. She promised herself she wouldn't cry.

"Emilie, I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you."

"I needed my big brother to protect me from those douche bags in high school. Someone to tell me to not go with Derek."

Eric rubbed his eyes. "I know. And I'm so sorry. I'm sorry you had to put Olivia-"

Emilie's lip trembled and she put up her hand. "Stop. No more. Tell me why you are here."

Eric sighed. "The short time we were here, Jen and I tried so hard for a child. But her ovaries burst, and we were too late. Jen went through some deep shit before she met me. She had a strong sexual relationship with a man. And she loved him, but he didn't love her. She kept saying, "He owes us,". I don't know why I listened. I just thought that it would make her happy. Jen had been a strong alcoholic at the time. So, we kidnapped a child, and raised her like our own."

Emilie gasped, shocked. "How could you take away a child from her own flesh and blood? Adoption is such a wonderful thing, it gives couples like you and Jen a chance and me…" She shook her head. Now she was really going to be sick. "Where is the girl?"

"She's sixteen. She's now with her true parents."

Emilie paled. "What is her name." Eric didn't reply. "What is her name!?"

"Madeline! Madeline Rose Grey!"

Yep. Emilie was going to puke. "Oh shit. No!"

"I'm so sorry, Emilie!"

"This will backlash on me, you son of a bitch!"

Eric looked up, startled. "How?"

Emilie lifted her left hand. "I'm engaged to Teddy Grey. Madeline's biological brother." Her trembling hand clamped over her mouth, trying to stifle her sobs.

Eric couldn't move. "I'm so sorry Emilie."

"First, you can't be at my wedding because you're in prison, and second, you stole my fiancé's sister! Go to hell!" Emilie slammed the phone back on her rack and left the prison. She drove home as fast as she could and went straight to her bed when she got there. She really was going to need that nap.

Madeline laid on the couch, exhausted from last nights' welcome-home party. She flipped through channels, not used to the luxury of television in some of the places she lived in. She also wasn't used to the luxury of the whole entire house. She stopped on a channel that had the title on the bottom of the screen. "Christian Grey's mystery Daughter". Apparently the media had very little knowledge of her or they forgot about her over the years. It then showed a clip of her dad at a press conference a couple of days ago, talking about something new in Grey Enterprise. A reporter asked, "How's your daughter, sir?"

Christian smiled. "She is home and we are all so happy that she is. But we are getting more and more impatient to start the trial over my daughter's kidnappers. Thank you." More flashes, more nagging reporters, as her dad walked away from the podium. Maddie sighed and flipped off the TV. She rubbed her temples, not able to get a solid thought formed in her brain. This last week had been paradise, being home. But now, with the media, Maddie couldn't organize her thoughts about the whole situation. She sighed and pulled out her new iPhone 5. Maddie had never been allowed to have a cell phone, but she had saved up enough kwacha to purchase a pre paid phone behind Jen's back in order to call Pierre and eventually, her father. She was very impressed with it, especially because that meant she didn't have to memorize new numbers. She moved to her mom's contact and selected her work number. After going through a receptionist, Maddie was directed to Ana.

"Ana Grey."

"Hi mom."

"Hello, darling! I was just finishing up! Are you all right?"

"Um. Maybe. Mom. I think I need to go see Flynn."

Ana paused. "Are you having nightmares?"

"Yes. And I also just want to see if her can help me sort out my feelings over this mess."

"Sure sweetheart. Whatever you need. Hey, I'll be home pretty soon. We can talk more, okay?"

"Okay. Love you mom."

"I love you too. And don't be embarrassed one bit."

After turning her lie of taking a nap into truth, she waited for Teddy to show up. He's you're fiancé. He loves you. Tell him. Emilie couldn't tell him about Madeline yet, the wound only being just patched up, but she needed to tell him of her past.

"Em? Are you here?" Teddy called from her front door.

"In my room.'

Teddy came in, holding a container of soup for her. He sat it down and kissed her forehead. "You don't feel very hot."

"I told you, a little rest does the trick." Emilie patted the spot beside her, and Teddy willingly moved next to her and pulled her into his arms. "How was your day?"

"It was alright. I was worried about you." He kissed her hair once more.

Emilie sighed. Now or Never. "Teddy. I love you so much. But, I need to tell you something."

Teddy nodded. "Okay."

"I haven't been completely honest about my past. When I was sixteen, I got into some trouble. I was underage drinking and smoking, yet somehow, my grades weren't all that bad. One night, my boyfriend at the time and I got very drunk. And I lost my virginity to him. It didn't mean anything to me after that, so I started sleeping with him a lot."

Teddy winced and Emilie kissed his cheek. "He wasn't half as good as you are." She winked at him.

"Well that's a relief." Teddy grinned, feeling somewhat proud of himself.

"Any way. Teddy, I got pregnant." Emilie stared into Teddy's eyes for a moment. Teddy didn't move a flinch. Emilie continued. "I didn't know what to do, but I sure as hell wasn't going to get an abortion, no matter what humiliation the pregnancy brought me. I decided I was going to give the baby up for adoption. And that's what I did. She was born on May 12th on a sunny day. Her name is Olivia Marie Jones. I gave her my last name. I gave her up for adoption that day and kept her a secret. I didn't want people at school to think I was another teenage mom who won't succeed. And then I met you. And I was brought into your beautiful loving world, filled with so much light despite your sister's absence. Your family was so strong. I didn't want to bring my dark past and mess up what we have. But I should've been honest with you, and I'm sorry I waited this long." A few tears fell down her face and she turned away from a still-shocked Teddy. After a few moment of silence, Teddy finally spoke:

"I love you so much." He kissed her passionately. "You are so brave, and that took so much out of you. Can I tell you a secret?" Emilie nodded for him to proceed. "My dad, my aunt Mia, and my uncle Elliot were all adopted as well. And look at them now. They are in a much better situation by being adopted. You did the right thing."

Emilie smiled. "So you don't hate me?"

"Not one bit. I might still marry you. Maybe." He grinned.

Emilie giggled. "Well I hope so. Cause it's the best sex I've ever had." Emilie brought her lips up to his, vanishing her thoughts of her other secret she will one day have to tell.
