Ana POV
It's been a tough week being away from Teddy and Christian when I know Teddy is still recovering. But getting to be here today and seeing them interact was the most special thing that I could have ever experienced. I started to cry when our whole family showed to see Teddy, my father even drove down from Montesano to be here today.
I watched Teddy light as Elliot zoomed around the room with the toy airplane that Teddy made for him. The tears start to gather in my eyes again when I feel Christian wrap his arms around me from behind.
"It's beautiful isn't it, this whole thing just feels right doesn't it?" he whispers.
"Mmh," I say.
Grace and Carrick bought pizza and the whole family ate it including Teddy after a little fight with the nurse. But after a couple hours everyone is getting ready to leave which is probably for the best. I can tell that all the attention and excitement has Teddy a little antsy now.
Christian kisses his mother good bye and I hug and kiss Ray as they leave for the night. We watch them leave then go back into check on Teddy who is passed out, sleeping soundly in his bed.
"Hey by the way the foster parent license came in today, which means that we can take Teddy home as soon as he is discharged," Christian tells me quietly as not to wake Teddy.
"Wow that is great news!" I tell him. I think that having Teddy home with us will be much better than him in a hospital room for countless hours a day, he deserves a good home and a good family.
Christian goes to set up the pull out bed that we have been sleeping one for a week now. I would be lying if I said that I didn't miss mine and Christian's bed, but I'd do anything to be here for Teddy. Christian and I are just about to climb in the makeshift bed when the sliding glass door opens and Teddy's doctor walks in. He motions us to step outside so we follow him into the hallway.
"Well good news folks, Teddy looks like he is on the right track. We don't see any reason to keep him longer, that means if you're up for it you can take him home tomorrow," he tells us with a grin.
"Oh my god, you're serious? We can take him home?" I gasp and grab Christians hand in mine.
"Yes of course" he tells us again.
"Thank you so much for all that you have done for us and for Teddy, we really appreciate it," Christian says reaching out his hand for the doctor to shake. The Doctor wishes us well the turns around to go down the hall to visit other patients.
"Christian we get to take him home! Can you believe that, this has become the best day of my life, " I tell him as we go back to into Teddy's room.
"I know it's been a really amazing day, I can't believe we get to take him home, it feels like our family is just about to start, it's a whole new world and I am the luckiest man on the earth.
Tomorrow we should ask him though if adopting him is something he wants, we have to see if he is comfortable becoming part of our family. I know he isn't really old enough to fully understand but we should still try," Christian says even though I can tell the idea of Teddy not coming home with us would tear him up just as much as it would me.
Christian and I climb into our tiny bed and both of us drift off as soon as our heads hit the pillows.
I can tell that it is very late when I am awaken by a soft sound. It is so soft that you could barely hear it at all. I climb out of bed to find out where the noise is coming form, and very soon figure out that it is coming from Teddy. I rush over to his bed and find that he is drenched in sweat and is shaking from a nightmare. My poor boy is all I can think as I gently touch his shoulder to wake him. As soon as I touch him he gasps awake, it sounded like he was breaking the surface after being underwater for a long time.
"Hey there baby, you're okay I promise I am right here. Nothing is going to happen to you," I say soothingly as I brush my hand through his now short hair.
"Never?" he ask.
"Never, I will always be there for you Teddy." I say.
"Why?" he asks me, and in his eyes I can see the fear. He is afraid we will leave him because everyone else always has.
"Because Christian and I we love you every much already. Even though we have only known you for a short time, you baby boy, are so loved by me and Christian." he doesn't say anything more but just snuggles into my side and I swing my feet onto his bed, being careful of his IV and I continue to brush his short hair.
"Ana," there is a slight pressure across my shoulder but I brush it off.
"Ana, baby it's time to get up," I slowly open my eyes and am convinced I am in heaven. Standing over me is my beautiful husband who looks sharp as ever in one of his ridiculously expensive suits. I look down to see Teddy still snuggled into my side just like he was last night.
"The doctors are going to be here in a few minutes with the paperwork to discharge Teddy. After they discharge him Taylor will drive us all to Escala, we have to stay there for about a week then Elliot says we can move into the house on the Sound. I have to go into the office for a couple hours today, so I will make sure you and Teddy get settle back at Escala then head to Grey House," Christian says briskly with no emotion.
Oh boy, great Christian is in a weird mood today which not good when we want to finally bring Teddy home with us. I'll have to ask him what is wrong a little later.
"Okay that all sounds good. But I think you forgot that we have to ask Teddy," I say making my way off the small hospital bed. I just know sleeping in that weird position is gonna make my back hurt later. Just as I stand up Teddy's eyes pop open and I can sense that he is curious as to what is happening.
"Good morning buddy," I tell him smoothing his wild hair, "We need to talk okay."
"You promised," he says.
"What do you mean, promised what?" I say confused.
"You promised you would protect me, but now you both is leaving huh" he says.
"No way Teddy bear that isn't what we are doing at all," Christian pipes up behind me, "We will always be here, but there is something we have to ask you okay?"
Teddy nods his head and and shifts around a bit in his bed. Christian looks to me to say something.
"Teddy we want you to live with Christian and I, you are leaving the hospital today and we where wondering if you wanted to come home with us. We want to become your new mommy and daddy and become part of our family. What do you think?
He just stares blankly at both Christian and I, not entirely understanding what we just ask of him.
"Mommy and Daddy? he whispers more to himself than to anyone else. Then unexpectedly he picks up my hand in his tiny one.
"Momma," he says the reaches out for Christians hand, "Daddy."
I sigh with a weight that lifts off my shoulders and I start to feel the tears coming on.
"Can I take the legos with me?" he asks and both Christian and I chuckle at that.
"Of course they're yours, Teddy bear," I tell him. We just stay there, each of our hands in one of Teddy's. But our little moment is ruined when the sound of a phone ringing breaks the silence.
Christian pulls out his phone and sighs in frustration at who ever his calling him. He says he's sorry and disappears out of the room. I kiss Teddy's head and follow him out where I find him angrily yelling into his phone. I can't quite pick up what he is saying but he hangs up on who ever is on the other side of the phone call.
He looks up to see me staring at him, "Who was that and how did they piss you off?" I ask trying to joke.
"It was nothing," he says angrily.
"Christian don't speak to me like that. Tell me what is going on, did you wake up grumpy?" I ask.
"It's nothing Ana okay, just drop it!," he looks down at his watch then back to me, "Look I really want to be there when Teddy goes home for the first time but I really have to go to the office. I am sorry I will call you later to see how you got settled back at Escala okay," he kisses my head and takes off down the hallway of the hospital.
I am shock and angry and hurt all at the same time. Mostly angry though, how dare he talk to be that way then just dismiss me. He will be getting an earful when he gets home later. No I think to myself, he is gonna get it right now. I pull out my cell phone and dial his number knowing full well that he will ignore my call.
"Christian Trevelyan Grey! How dare you talk to me like that. It was rude and very uncalled for. Don't even bother coming home tonight if you don't plan to apologize. I am so angry at you right now got that. And today of all days! For crying out loud we are bring our son home for the first time today and you won't be there for that. That was not the way to handle what ever has you stressed out!" I don't even bother saying goodbye and just hang up.
I take and deep breath and head back into our room where I see Sawyer packing up mine and Christians belongings along with some of Teddy's stuff. He must have slipped in when I was leaving a voicemail for Christian. What is wrong with him is all I can think, everything was fine last night. I glance at Teddy sad that Christian will miss this huge event in Teddy's new life as a Grey.
What did you think? Did you like Ana telling Christian off? Let me know in the comments :)
