Mr. Bastian's POV!

As I ended my conversation with Grace, I stared at the wall for a moment.

"Uhm... Boss?" Bryan, my assistent, said.

I turned my head and looked at him, "Yes?"

"Uhm... That lady? You told her pretty much of Ana's life. Why?" He turned red as he asked. I was pretty sure he had a weakness for Ana.

I rose from my seat and walked out, of my office. "Get the others and say that it's Ana. I will explain it to you in the car."

He nodded, clearly satisfied.

I walked over to my car and shortly after arrived Bryan and the other.

I started the car and Bryan turned to me, "Okay, now explain, why you told that lady everything!"

"That lady, is Grace Trevelyan-Grey. If you hadn't heard about The Greys, then you must be an idiot. Or born in the eighteen century."

Bryan growled, but I could see he was smilling.

"Many year-" I started, but Bryan interrupted me.

"Wait! This is one of your's "The 26th september 1986, I was on the way to Canada with only, my blind pitbull as escort." Isn't it?" Bryan looked like he was ready to jump out of the car.

I couldn't help, but burst out laughing, "Very discreet, Bryan. But no, it's not one of those story. But since you really love my stories, then I will tell you one, when we get back."

Bryan looked really crestfallen.

I cleared my throat and continued, "As I said: Many years ago, when I went to college, I went to the same college as Grace Trevelyan-Grey. Back then, know as Grace Trevelyan. Or Gracie."

I smiled at the memory.

"Uhm... Boss?" Bryan's words got me back to reality.

"Uhm, yes, as I said: I went to the same college as Grace. We became lab partners and best friends. Then Carrick came and he fall head over heels in love with Grace. Needles to say, that Grace felt the same way. I had always trusted Grace and I always will trust Grace. I saw her like a little sister and family don't have secrets. I kind of, feel the same way for Grace, as you feel for Ana."

Bryan was quiet for a moment. "Now I understand why you told her everything. She must really mean something to you."

I smiled a tired smile, "She really does."

The rest of the drive was silent. Before I knew it we was at Ana and Hope's house. A Audi R8 was infront of the house. I frowned and run inside.

"Hope!?" I yelled, afraid what could had happened to that sweet little girl.

Before I knew, Hope run into my arms and I hugged her, like my lifedepended on it.

"Mr. Bastian," She mumbled into my beard.

I looked up and saw Grace and, what I assume is her son, Christian.

I looked down at Hope again, "Are you okay, princess?" I asked. Hope is like a granddaughter for me.

I would kill myself, before letting anybody hurt her.

She nodded and pointed at Grace and Christian, "This is Mrs. Grace and Mr. Christian. They bought a new dress for me and Lily."

I smiled, so she couldn't see how worried I was, "It's some very nice dresses."

I looked at Ana, who was being put onto a stretcher. "We are going ,to take your mommy, to the hospital and then she wil be fine, okay?" I said.

Hope nodded, but she is a very smart girl, so of course she hadded to ask a question. "But where am I going to be?" And a very good question, actually.

Christian stepped forward and said: "I'll take her."

I think we all froze. Grace starred at Christian, like she couldn't belive her eyes.

Grace walked over to Christian and layed her hand on his arm, "Christian, dear. Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, you don't have any experience with kids. Maybe, should Carrick and I take her?" She said gently.

He turned his head and looked her directly in the eyes, "Mom, I found her. She is my respondsibility."

Ass and keys, he is serious!

I cleared my throat and finally got some attention, "If you follow me back to the station, then we will see, who is going to watch Hope, until Ana is back."

They nodded and I looked at Hope, "Go and get what you need and then we leave." I said.

She nodded and run into her and Ana's bedroom.

After a few minutes, she came out with a bag and said: "I got some clohes, my color pencils, a picture of me and mommy and some goodnight books."

"What about your toothbrush?" Grace asked.

She pouted and went into the bathroom. She came out with her toothbrush in her hand and said: "Here."

She was so adorable, when she pouted.

"Okay, let's get going, people," I said and took Hope's hand.

The drove back was silent. I think everybody has a lot of things on their mind.

We walked into my office and Hope sat down in her private beanbag, and started drawing.

Grace and Christian sat down in the chairs infront of my desk. Bryan walked in and sat four glasses of water down.

"Thank you," Grace said and smiled to Bryan.

He smiled and nodded in reply.

"Okay," I said, folding my hands over my bear belly, "Ana is currently not in a position to take care of Hope and since her father has broken his leg, is Hope missing a guardian."

I turned to Christian, "You said you will take care of Hope? Is that correct?" I asked.

He nodded and looked deadly serious.

"Are you in a position, where you are availble to take care of Hope in a unlimited period?" I asked.

He nodded again.

"Listen. I love Hope as was she my granddaughter and Ana as my daughter and I want the best for both of them. I for god sake, hope you are good to Hope or I will make sure, that you will spend the rest of your life, behind bars."

I think I had scarred them, no, only Grace. Christian doesn't seem like a person, you easily can scare.

He looked me right into the eyes and what I saw in them, isn't something I ever, will be availble to describe.

"I had a past very similar to Ana and Hope's and I will do everything, to make sure they are going to be fine. There isn't anything I can do for Ana right now, so the only thing I can do, is to make sure Hope is okay. And I intent to do that."

I was shocked. I knew many mens liked Ana, but nobody had ever cared about Hope too.

"It's up to Hope, if she wants to stay with you. Hope?" I called.

She looked up from her drawing, "Uh?"

"What would you say to stay at Mr. Christian's place, until your mommy is okay?" I asked.

She looked at Christian and then back at me. "Just until mommy's okay?" She asked.

I nodded.

She hesitaded a bit and then looked at Christian and mumbled: "Can Lily stay there too?"

Christian smiled, a friendly smile: "Of course, she can."

She looked at me and nodded, "Okay. But only until mommy's okay. Maybe, mommy can stay with us too!" She looked at Christrian with Hope in her eyes.

He hesitaded, before answering: "Let's wait and see, till your mother is okay."

"But we got one poblem." Hope said very serious.

Christian raised a brow, "And that is?"

"I can't get up!"
