Chapter 33:
"So how's the baby?" I ask Kate. She sits on the sofa with her feet up and a bowl of Maltesers balanced on her baby bump. She looks at me then down and nods.
"Pretty convenient actually." We both laugh and suddenly the bowl falls off her. She huffs. "Actually she's just annoying. Stop kicking my food!" She says to her baby. I smile then I get a wave of sickness and sit up, breathing heavily. "You ok?" I nod and take a sip of water.
"Yeah I just keep getting waves of sickness." Kate frowns.
"How long have you had it?"
"A couple of weeks, maybe less. Why?" She nods.
"Sore boobs?" I look at her weirdly.
"Yeah, how did you know?" She shrugs.
"Are they swollen?" I nod and she smirks slightly. "Food cravings?"
"Why do you think there are so many Maltesers?" She smiles bigger.
"Are you tired a lot? Constantly needing to go to the toilet?" I nod and she squeals. "Ana, you're pregnant." I shake my head.
"No, because my sickness is always in the evening." Kate smiles at me.
"It doesn't have to be in the morning. Mine is always smack bang in the middle of the night." I sit back and widen my eyes. "When was the last time you and Christian had sex?" I look at her and feel a blush creep up my face.
"This morning." She raises her eyebrows.
"And the time before that?" I avoid eye contact with her.
"Last night."
"Jesus! You guys are crazy!" I smile a little and look up at her. "I take it you have sex a lot then." I nod and she smiles. "Babe, it's time for a test. Another one. Jesus you're irresponsible with contraception." I through a pillow at her and she laughs, we get up and go to the pharmacy.
The beeper goes off and we both jump. "Ok, you ready?" I nod and Kate looks at the stick. She looks up at me and smiles. "It's positive." I stare at her then frown.
"Ok positive as in haha I fooled you again it's negative or positive as in I'm going to have a baby?" Kate just looks at me and smiles wider. I sit down. "Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god!" Kate stands up.
"You're gonna have a baby!" She shouts.
"I'm gonna have a baby." I hear the elevator open and Kate crosses her fingers, grabs her bag and leaves. "Hey Mr G." She says, cooly.
"Hey Kate." They high five and she gets in the elevator, leaving us alone. He walks over to me and I put the stick in my back pocket. "Hey fiancée." I smile at him. It's been around six weeks but I still can't get over it. He kisses me and I hold his hands.
"Sit down please Christian." He sits down warily then closes his eyes.
"Is this about the chocolate cake thing? Because you know you shouldn't leave it out without supervision. You have to hide it or I'll just-"
"-It's not about the chocolate cake. Ok, there's no easy way to say this so I guess I'll just come out and say it." I take a deep breath in and close my eyes. "I'm pregnant." Silence. I wait for a reply and when it doesn't come within the next minute I look up to see him staring into space. "Bet you wish it was about the chocolate cake now huh?" He continues to look straight ahead of him.
"We're having a baby?" He says, astonished.
"Yes. Are you ok?" He looks up when I take his hand, then stands up.
"Wh - ho - I - I don't understand. You were taking your pill right?" I nod, I have been taking it strictly after the first incident.
"They're not one hundred percent effective." He continues to frown so I stand up and take his hands. "Christian I know it's scary. I'm terrified. But I love you, and we can get through this. I'm keeping this baby, and you're going to be a wonderful father. Ok?" He looks at me and I hold his face, pressing my forehead to his. "Christian. Believe me. You're going be an amazing father." He looks into my eyes and all I see is panic and fright. "Christian." He pulls away.
"I can't do this Ana. I um, I'll be back soon." He grabs his jacket and leaves, leaving me standing in the middle of the room, staring at the door in which he left through. I put my hands over my stomach and sigh. I pull out my phone and text Kate.
Didn't go well. A x
Soon I get a ping and I look at my phone.
Aw don't worry, he'll come around babe. Do you want me to come Over? K x
No, think I'll just go to bed. Thank you though. Love you. A x
It's ok, love you too honey. Speak tomorrow. K x
I turn off my phone and head up to our bedroom, where I drift off to sleep after sobbing for half an hour.
I wake up instantly to a banging that sounds like it's coming from downstairs. I immediately hold my stomach and get out of the bed. I walk to the door and open it, creeping down the hallway to see what the source of the noise is. I get to the living room and see Taylor holding Christian's shoulders. Christian's hair is a mess, his tie is loose with a few buttons undone and one corner of his shirt is untucked. Is he drunk? He turns to me and throws his hands up in the air. "Ana! Hi!" Yep. He's drunk. "You look mighty fine in my shirt." Even though I know he's drunk I still blush and pull the hem down. Then I look to Taylor.
"Were you with him?" He shakes his head.
"He said not to follow him." I nod and walk towards him.
"Well, take your shoes off and I'll take you to bed, ok?" He grins and nods at me. So drunk Christian is playful Christian. Interesting. I get down on my knees to undo his laces and he giggles.
"Ana." He says like a child.
"Yes Christian?"
"Will you suck my dick?" I gasp and Taylor gasps. I look to Taylor with an apologetic face and he just nods. "Seriously Taylor she gives the best blowjobs I swear to god. I really have to control myself whenever she does it or I would just come-"
"-Christian be quiet!" I shout at him and he pouts at me.
"I was praising you! What's the problem?" I roll my eyes and he stumbles forward, falling on me.
"Christian, the baby." I say, pushing him off me. He stands back and nods.
"Oh yeah, the baby. Our baby. You'll love it more than me. I'll lose you." I stand up and look at him.
"You're an idiot."
"And you're pretty." He smiles and twirls a lock of my hair around his finger. I swat him away.
"You're also drunk. Very drunk. Now let's get you to bed." I put his arm over my shoulder and he laughs.
"Woo! Night Taylor, I'm gonna go get me, a blowjob!" I look back at Taylor and mouth sorry to him. He just nods, looking embarrassed then walks away. It takes a while but eventually I get him upstairs and into his room. I sit him on the bed and he smiles at me. I take his tie off then start undoing his shirt. When I take it off I throw it to one side and then I reach for his belt. "No, no, no." He pushes my hand away. "Let me." He says, in a 'sexy' voice. He stands up with less grace than me. Very unlike Christian. He holds my shoulders and pushes me down so that I'm sitting on the bed.
"Christian I-"
"-Shh." He places his finger over my mouth, trying to be sexy. I can't help the giggle that escapes me. He takes this as encouragement and takes his belt off, swaying slightly as if to his own tune. Then he unzips his pants and slides them slowly down his legs, keeping eye contact with me and biting his lip. I laugh and he just grins at me. He then starts walking towards me whilst pulling down his boxers and I decide that's enough.
"Ok. No more stripping. Just get in bed please." I pull the boxer band back up and he frowns.
"Fine." He walks round to his side of the bed and lies down. As soon as his head hits the pillow he starts snoring. Christian Grey snores? I just kneel by the bed and stroke his face. He smiles in his sleep. "I love you." He murmurs and I smile. "Both of you." I gasp and tears fill my eyes. Did he just say he loves us both? As in, me and the baby? Oh my god. I let my tears fall but this time they were because I was totally ecstatic. And I get in bed next to a snoring Christian thinking that our conversation tomorrow might not be as bad as I thought.
A/N - Hi guys! I've decided to take a small break from Five Years A Slave because this is where the two stories start getting similar. I wanted to leave a slight gap, does that mean you want more Mystery? If so just let me know :) So she's going to have a baby! How do you think the conversation will go down between them? Do you want it to be angry or accepting? Calm or heated? Let me know :)
