LORNA X

ANAS POV

As I pull up outside of Esclava my heart is beating in my chest. Taylor tracked her cell phone so I know shes here.

Taylor wasn't joking when he said he wouldn't let me do this on my own. When I told him I was going to see Elena today he immediately walked over and perched himself in the passenger side of my car. Ok then!

I park my car right out side of the salon and get out with Taylor hot on my heels. I stride in like I own the place and head straight for her office which is at the back. Greta the annoying fake blond bitch tries to stop me but one look from Taylor and she backs right off.

I open Elena's office door with a bang and she jumps a little. When she looks up and sees that its me she smirks and leans back smugly but when she catches sight of Taylor she goes back on full alert

"My my my, look whos back in town. Little Annie Steele" her voice makes me feel like I have bugs crawling on my skin! She's dressed in her signature grim reaper black with bright red lipstick. She's looks like what she is. A whore.

"Shut your fucking mouth Elena. I came here to give you a warning"

"Who do you think you are,,"

"I said shut your mouth. I'm not the same girl that left two years ago, I'm back and I'm back for good and not you or anyone will make me leave again, so im here to tell you, stay away from me and you stay away from Christian"

She stands up furiously and leans towards me with her hands on her desk

"Now you listen to me little girl. You crawl back in to the hole you clawed your way out of by tonight or certain pictures that are in my possession will be leaked. Wouldn't want anyone to know that sweet little Annie Steele likes it rough now would we?"

"Go right ahead but if you do I will release the picture I have of you...and trust me Elena...the one I have of you will ruin your reputation and get you a one way ticket to a jail cell" I scream so loud I am sure the whole salon must hear me. I am breathing so heavy my chest is heaving.

Her face drops when I tell her I have pictures of her

"You're bluffing, you don't have shit on me" she's seething and if looks could kill I'd be dead right now

"Try me, I'm begging you to try me. I'll tell you once again, you stay away from me and you stay the fuck away from my man"

"Your man? Your nothing but a number to him, what were you again? Number 10 if I recall. You are a SUB and that's all you will ever be to him"

"If that's all I am then why did you go to so much effort in the first place to get rid of me?" yeah got you there bitch haven't I? I stand up and turn to leave

"Do you really think he will accept your child?" What the fuck! how does she know? she must see that she has shaken me because she smiles. My achilles heel. My daughter. How the fuck does she know about her? I didn't even know I was pregnant until a month after I left Seattle!

She walks around her desk and stands in front of me. Taylor Stands right next to me like a 6 foot 3 shield.

"Yes I know all about your little bastard child..I even" before she can get out another word I attack. How dare she call my child a bastard! I hit her so hard in the face her feet actually leave the floor before she falls. I jump on top of her and just start hitting her as much as I can before Taylor rips me off of her.

He stands me on my feet and I look down in the snivelling bag of wrinkly old silicon that claims to be a woman.

"You EVER mention my child again and I'll kill you with my bare hands" I leave her a blooded mess on the floor and leave her office slamming the door like I did on the way in.

I go to get in the drivers side but Taylor stops me and he gently lifts me into the passenger side and he gets in and starts driving.

"Where to Ana?" he asks me gently

"Back to Kate's place please" I have tears streaming down my face. Not because I'm scared and not because I'm upset, just because.

"Ana how does Grace fit into all this?" it must have bugged him not to know. I look over and give him a small smile

"It's not what you think. If it wasn't for Grace I would not have come back, basically to cut a long story short, 2 weeks ago she was the consulting specialist on a case of child abuse at Memphis General, she flew out to assist and someone just happened to mention my name and of course she wanted to say hi, so they showed her to my office and when she came in she saw the big 4 foot by 4 foot picture I had hung on my office wall. You only have to look at my daughter to know she's Christians child. She's even got his temper" I smile thinking about my baby girl.

"Anyway, Grace basically gave me an ultimatum, either I tell Christian or she tells him. Obviously I couldn't tell her I was blackmailed out of leaving Seattle in the first place by Elena, but she got me thinking. Because of Elena my daughter has missed out on a father, grandparents, aunts, uncles and a cousin and that's not fair on my baby, so I womaned up and decided to come back and confront the last of my demons. Grace helped me get the job in Seattle and I begged her not to tell Christian and she said she would not tell him but I had to be in Seattle in 10 days otherwise she was going to tell him"

"Thank god! You don't understand what I thought when I saw the picture of Grcae holding the baby out side of your apartment the othernight. Ana, there is nothing that Elena had on you that I could not have helped with"

"It's not what she had on me Jason, yes she has some pictures of me that I don't want to get out but what she has on Christian will destroy him, I had no choice, it was leave or Christian would have lost everything he loves"

"He DID lose everything he loves Ana and what about the baby? How could you leave when you knew you were carrying his child?"

"I didnt know I was pregnant until a month after I left...look I don't want to get into this right now Jason, I have the mother of all head aches"

"Well it looks like your headache is only going to get worse" I look up to see we are pulling into Kate's driveway and right in front of us is Christians white Aston Martin. Oh god help me

I rush into the house just as I hear Christian scream "OH MY GOD!"

I burst into Kate's bedroom to find Christian grabbing at his hair, Elliott standing stunned and Kate and my baby are crying. She holds her chubby little arms out to me when she sees me

"Mama" I walk over and pull her into my arms kissing her on the head and cooing to her

"It's ok baby girl, mamas here" out of the corner of my eye I see Elliott pull Kate out of the room leaving just me Christian and the baby.

He just stands there stunned looking at us both while I gently rock our daughter

"Ana...I...oh my god..." he rips at his hair again and sits down on the bed with his hands over his face. He groans loudly into his hands causing our daughter to start giggling and his head snaps up at the sound. He sits up and slowly, like he's trying not to spook her, he holds out his hand to her and she quickly grabs on to his finger and starts babbling which causes him to smile.

"How old is she?" he croaks out

"She's 15 months"

"15 months? So you were what? 3 months when you left"

"Yeah, but I didn't know I was pregnant Christian, I found out a month after I got to Tennessee"

"Whats her name?"

"Phoebe...Phoebe Grace Steele" something changes in him and he stands up and starts ripping his hair again

"How could you not tell me Ana? I had a fucking right to know?" he's not shouting and he's not loud but the harshness of his tone makes Phoebes lip jut out and tears to fill her eyes making Christian go white as a sheet

"I have to go"

"Christian wait"

"Anastasia I can't even look at you right now...I will do right by my daughter but you...I hate you right now and I don't want to even be in the same room as you, maybe in a few days...but not right now" he turns and leaves the room closing the door behind him.

Tears now flow freely down my face and I sit in the bed with my baby in my arms.

"It's ok baby girl...Daddy just needs time...I hope"

"Mama" I smile down at her. She's the cutest kid on the planet in my opinion. She's wearing a little pale pink dress that has ruffels, little white socks with pink paten leather shoes. I've always sung to her, even when she was safe in my belly I would put my headphones on my bump, now she constantly demands me to sing her a song or play music. I look into her big grey eyes which are exact replicas of Christians and I softly sing the first song that comes to mind

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.

I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.

Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.

I don't need no money, fortune or fame.
I've got all the riches, baby, one man can claim.

Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl.
I've even got the month of May
With my girl
Talkin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout
My girl
Ooooh
My girl
As long as I can talk about my girl...

A gentle knock comes on the door and I look up and see Kate. She walks over and pushes her vanity stool over so she is sat in front of me. She reaches out and gently runs a finger over Phoebes now sleeping face

"I need answers Steele. You came in this morning after being away for almost 2 years with a child in your arm, Christians child no less, and ask me to keep an eye on her while you dealt with some personal shit as you called it, with no explanation, so come on spill" I sigh and look at her. I can't tell her everything because i assume my NDA is still in play, but she is my best friend and I've treated her badly by not telling her the biggest thing to happen in my life. Ever.

"What would you like to know Kate?"

"You and Christian, you were together?"

"Yes we were"

"So you dated and never told anyone? Why?"

"we didn't really date Kate it was more like...friends with benefits" I cringe when I say it because I hate that term

"Cut the shit Steele. Friends with benefits my ass! You two are clearly in love! One look at his face when you walked in told me that"

"It's complicated Kate, I need to get it all sorted with Christian first before I tell you the ins and outs of our time together, well if he will speak to me that is. He said he hates me Kate" tears fall been though I don't want them too and Kate gently wipes them from my face

"He will come around Ana...it might take some time because when he stormed out of here Elliott tried to stop him and Christian punched the wall outside. Messed up his hand pretty good as well...why didn't you tell him Ana? Why didn't you tell me? I'm your best friend, or at least I thought I was" the hurt in her voice almost finishes me but I grab her hand and implore her to listen to me

"Kate you are my best friend and I wish I could tell you the full story but I need to talk to Christian first, you understand right?"

"Yeah I suppose. God I still can't believe you had sex with him! Mia is going to go ape you know that right? She will have you married off By winter"

Oh god help me!

"I should get going, I still have boxes to pack away, why don't you and Ava come by tomorrow and I can show you my new place and we can go for lunch?"

"Sure, sounds like a plan, what are you going to do about Christian?"

"I don't know Kate...but if Iknow Christian Grey like I think I do...it's not going to be easy"
