ANAS POV
My stomach is full of butterfly's. In less than 5 hours I am going to be Mrs Anastasia Grey! Mrs Christian Grey. Mrs CEO.
We are on Christians jet and we will be landing in Las Vegas in about an hour. The jet is full with everyone that means anything to us. Grace and Carrick, Mia and Luke, Elliott, Kate and Ava, Ros and Gwen and Jason and Gail and much to her shock, Andrea.
When we left Elena's hou...my house, we drove straight to Grey house so Christian could sign some paperwork that just can't wait and while we were there he told Andrea to book us in to the Bellagio and get us a slot at the wedding chapel. Her jaw dropped when he said it but as professional as ever she got stuck straight in to making calls. Christian went and got Ros and just before the elevator doors closed Christian stopped them.
"Andrea what are you doing?" he asked her as he walked back to her desk.
"I'm booking the rooms in Vegas, Sir... Um should I not be doing this?" She asked confused
"Of course you should be doing it, but you need to hurry up and go home and pack a bag, the jet leave in 2 hours"
"You mean you want me to come to Vegas with you?" She gasped
"Andrea...you have been my assistant since the time when GEH was being run out of that damp little dump downtown. Without you...well, GEH wouldn't be what it is today...and you're more than just an employee Andrea...you are my friend and I want you there when I make the most important deal of my life"
Andrea teared up when he said this and then quickly grabbed her bag and got in the elevator with us. At the moment she is tapping away furiously on an iPad while Reynolds is writing down everything she is telling him.
I slip away to the bedroom where Phoebe is fast asleep in crib that is bolted to the wall so it doesn't slide around. I lean over an re-tuck the blanket that she has kicked off during her nap.
She is so beautiful. I know that every mother must say that about her children but Phoebe really is stunning. I dread to think what Christian will do when boys start noticing her when she is a teenager. He's probably going to want to lock her up and have a CPO attached to her 24/7. I wonder if he will be different if he had a boy? He would be ok with a Boy dating I think. I smile at the thought of a little boy running around the new house. Perhaps our next child will have copper hair like his daddy. I hope Christian wants more children. I hate that fact that I am an only child.
As I stare down at my perfect little daughter I think of what I will one day be like when she gets married. I'll be the mother of the bride and I can imagine how Christian will be. It makes me think of my parents and I can't help the tears that begin to fall. I miss my parents so much and just wish they could be here to watch me get married but I know they are looking down at me.
I hear the bedroom door open and I expect Christian but when I look up it's Gail.
"Hey Gail, Everything ok?" I ask as she walks over and sits next to me, placing a bag next to her on the bed.
"Yes Ana everything is fine. I just wanted to make sure you are ok?"
"I'm fine, I'll admit I have a few butterfly's but I'm told that all brides to be do"
"When I married Jason I thought I was going to pass out. We only had a small wedding at the courthouse and then we had a small party at the Mile High Club and even though I planned every little detail of that day and I have a million pictures, the only thing that I remember clearly was the look on Jason's face while I walked down the aisle. In his eyes I saw my whole life laid out before me and just like that, poof, all the butterfly's just flew away"
"That was beautiful Gail...I just...I wish my parents could see me, you know?" I bow my head and she wraps her arms around me.
"I know it's hard sweetie. Both my parents had passed when I married Jason, in fact I bet that he has never told you but it was Christian who gave me away. He even had the man to man talk with Jason about treating me right" we both giggle when she says this.
"I never knew your mom and dad but Jason did and he told me they were good people and I know they are looking down at you now and they are very proud of you Ana and I want you to know that you do have family here today. Myself and Jason look at you like a daughter and everyone knows that I think of Christian as a son...now I have a little something for you...I know you will be wearing your mothers sapphires as your something old and blue...so I thought you could have this as your something new and borrowed" she hands me a small box.
When I open it there is a beautiful hair comb that has little diamonds on the edge.
"Oh Gail it's beautiful, thank you" I hug her and she kisses my forehead sweetly and then leaves the room. I smile while looking at the comb. I may not have any blood relations apart from Phoebe but I do have family. Speaking of family I think now is the time to give Christian a little present I have for him. I get up and walk out into the main cabin.
"Christian can I borrow you for a second?" I ask
"Sure baby. Excuse me ladies" he gets up from his seat next to Ros and Gwen and follows me back in to the bedroom. I sit down on the bed and he sits down next to me.
"How can I be of assistance to you, soon to be Mrs Grey?" He starts kissing my neck making me shiver.
"Well actually it's about the whole, soon to be Mrs Grey thing" the look of panic on his face makes me laugh
"Why? You're not having second thought are you?"
"Never. I have something for you. I need your signature and when we get home we can file it at the courthouse" I dig into my bag and hand him an envelope. He takes it and rips into it. When he reads the document he gasps.
"Ana...this is...are you sure?"
"Positive. I've had those papers since the day after we got back together. This time tomorrow I will be Mrs Grey and Phoebe will be Phoebe Grace Grey"
I had Carrick help me with the paperwork that will officially change Phoebes name from Steele to Grey.
"You don't know how much this means to me Anastasia, thank you" he leans forward and gently kisses my lip. He places his hands on either side of my head and then looks deep in my eyes like he is mulling something over. I can actually see the moment when he decides to say whatever it is he wants to say.
"I like the name Steele"
"Huh?"
"If...When, we have another child if it's another girl I propose we call her Steele, little Steele Grey"
"You want more children? Really?"
"I do and I didn't know if you did so I kept quite but the thought of seeing you round with my child...it does something to me" he smiles shyly at me and shrugs.
"I have my next appointment with Dr Green in a couple of weeks to get my next shot..."
"Cancel it!...I mean, please cancel it" I laughed when he says please. I jump over so I am straddling his lap and kiss him deeply making him moan.
"So we're doing this? We're going to make a baby?" I breath against his lips.
"Yes we are going to make a baby" I squeal in delight and push him back on the bed making him laugh. I sit on his lower stomach and gently run my fingers down the hard planes of his chest and abs.
"Ana are you sure you want to do this?"
"You mean have another baby?"
"No not the baby, I mean getting a quicky wedding in Las Vegas. Don't you want the fairy tale? The big dress, the horse drawn carriage, all the people? I don't want you to feel I'm forcing you into marring me just because I have abandonment issues" he chews his bottom lip and I look down at him and smile. I lean forward so my forehead is resting against his.
"Christian Trevelyan Grey...you ARE my fairy tale. I don't need the big dress, I don't need a four legged demon from hell to pull me around in a carriage and I don't need hundreds of people. All I need is you, our baby and the people out in that cabin. I would marry you wearing a paper bag in a dirty ally way if it meant that I would be yours at the end of it. I love you Christian and we are going to have a long and happy life together raising our kids in our new home...I know the next few weeks are going to be hard with all the Elena shit but we are stronger together and after tonight I will be yours forever, just like you will be mine forever and I'm not going to let some, botoxed fake blond bitch! Get in the way of our happiness. If Elena makes a run at us we will be waiting"
"You're a little bad ass do you know that?" He smirks up at me and pulls me closer to his growing erection.
"Yes I am and in a few hours I will be your little bad ass officially. Now come on Grey, we will be landing soon and when we do I am going to slip away with the girls and go get something pretty to get hitched in...and something for our wedding night" his eyes grow darker and he growls at me but I just slap his chest and get off of him.
A couple of hours later after we have landed I have a dress, shoes and veil and Mia and Kate found matching dresses in baby pink as they are my bridesmaids along with Phoebe. We go back to the massive hotel suite that we are booked in to and start getting ready. When I am all dressed and ready to go I hear a tap on the door and Taylor walks in looking handsome in his Tux. The girls leave to go down to the chapel and I kiss and hug Phoebe before handing her off to Mia.
"You look beautiful Anastasia"
"Thank you Jason, you look very handsome in your tux"
"I'm honoured that you asked me to give you away but I know you will be missing your mom and dad today so I made you this" he hands me a small bag and when I look inside my eyes well up. It's a novelty plastic good luck horse shoe but tied around the ribbon on the the end is a laminated picture of my parents on their wedding day.
"I just thought that this way your parents can walk you down the aisle too" he rubs the back of his neck and looks a bit sheepish but it's one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. I reach for him and he engulfs me into his big strong arms.
"Thank you Jason"
"You are very welcome darling. Now let's go get you married and don't worry iv already had the "talk" with Christian" he chuckles
"You did? What did you say?"
"Basically that I may be his employee but if he ever hurts you I won't think twice about relocating his balls" he tells me and I giggle
We walk out of the room and then down the hall to the elevators. We go down to the main floor and we meet up with Luke and Reynolds who both kiss my cheek and tell me I look beautiful. We head towards the chapel and I feel like a princess because everyone is looking at me in my dress and smiling.
When we get to the chapel Luke and Reynolds leave us. I take Jason's arm in mine and I hear the music begin to play.
When the doors open I look up and even though the room is full with people I class as family, the only person I really see is Christian. He's watching me walk to him with a look of awe. He looks so handsome and strong in his custom made tuxedo.
Most of the ceremony is a blur but what will always stick in my mind are the vows we said to each other. When Christian said his first I started crying
"I solemnly vow that I will safeguard and hold dear and deep in my heart our union and you, I promise to love you faithfully, forsaking all others, through the good times and the bad, in sickness or in health, regardless of where life takes us. I will protect you, trust you, and respect you. I will share your joys and sorrows and comfort you in times of need. I promise to cherish you and uphold your hopes and dreams and keep you safe at my side. All that is mine is now yours. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love from this moment on for as long as we both shall live."
I barley got my words out because I was so choked up
"I give you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, to stand by your side in good times and in bad, to share your joy as well as your sorrow, I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals and dreams, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, to share my hopes and dreams with you, and bring you solace in times of need and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live"
"With the powers vested in my by the state of Nevada, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride"
His lips are on me before the guy says "the state of Nevada"
"I love you so much Mrs Grey"
"I love you more Mr Grey" I kiss him one more time and then Seek out our daughter who is smiling away sat with Gail who hands her to me. I kiss her chocolate curls and theN Hand her off to her daddy who holds her high above him making her squeal and giggle.
We end up in a private room where Andrea has organised some music and there is a buffet spread of various different foods and sweets. We dance and laugh through the night but then Mia and Kate walk over and lift Phoebe from my arms where she was curled as I slow danced with Christian.
"Right you two, we will take care of our niece for the night while you both go do whatever it is people do on their wedding day" Mia scrunched her nose up at the thought of Christian and having sex.
We say our goodbyes to the rest of the guests and we make sure that Mia has everything she needs to look after Phoebe and then we make our way to our suite. We practically devour each other in the elevator and by the time we get in our room my dress is half undone and Christians shirt is ripped. He open the door and then kicks it closed with his foot after carrying me over the threshold.
He runs to the bedroom which makes me laugh and the throws me on the bed and looms over me.
"I love you so much Anastasia Grey"
"I love you too hubby. Now, preform you marital duties" I flop back on the bed making him laugh.
"Patience Mrs Grey...we have all night" he says as he takes my lips in a heated kiss.
Christian preformed his marital duties to the best of his ability which means that this morning I am wincing when I move. The smug look on his face did not go unnoticed by Elliott who started making all sorts if jokes which made me blush.
The flight home was filled with laughter and Kate went a bit mad taking lots of pictures. The plane lands and we say our goodbyes as we head back to Escala with Phoebe snuggled between us. As the elevator doors slide open and we step into the foyer, we step into carnage.
The foyer table is smashed and the paintings of Madonna and the child have been slashed and ripped.
"Stay here all of you" Taylor draws his gun and signals to Reynolds to stay with us. We watch as Taylor goes into the apartment.
"Elena did this" I tell him and judging by the murderous look in his eye he thinks the same.
A full ten minutes go by before Taylor comes back in shaking his head.
"There is no one here but the whole place is trashed" he holds the door open and we follow him in. I gasp when I survey the damage.
The sofas are ripped and the kitchen is wrecked but what brings a tear to my eye is Christians piano. It's destroyed. The sides are smashed in, the legs have been snapped and the keys have been ripped off.
"Oh Christian"I whisper. He looks gutted As he runs his finger over the splintered wood.
"It's ok baby. It's just stuff and it can be replaced. You and Phoebe can't so I'm happy we were not here when whoever it was got in"
"You don't think it was Elena?"
"It's not her style"
Taylor walks in from his office and he looks grim.
"What is it?" Christian asks
"I just watched the CCTV and you're right, it wasn't Elena"
"Who was it then?"
"It was Lelia"
