Okay so I am back! I know I know that it has been a while since I have updated. It has been a combination of writers block and stressful finals. So here is the next part of the Story of Teddy. -AJ
CG POV
I jumped into the back of the car that was waiting for me right outside of the hospital. Taylor glances at me in the rearview mirror and with great strength I punch the head rest that is just in front of me.
To make things worse I see that Ana is calling me. I send it straight to voicemail because there are only so many things I can handle at once. I know the way I talked to her was wrong and I immediately regretted it. I glanced down at my phone and see that she left me voice mail. I pressed play and flinched at my full name being used in her angry voice.
Teddy, I think absentmindedly, she was right I was going to miss this huge milestone in my son's life. He hasn't been with us for more than a couple of weeks and I am already messing up as a father. The only rational thing I can think to do is punch the head rest, again, and again, and again.
The car comes to a stop on the side of the road and Taylor turns so that he is half facing me. He's waiting for me to say something about what the abuse to the car was all about. I can't say anything so I put my head between legs and try to get some air into my lungs.
"Jesus! Here take this!" he says pushing a brown paper bag into my hands but I wave him off and sit up straight.
"What was that all about?" he asks perplexed.
"I yelled at Ana because I didn't want her to know what was really going on. I need to keep her safe, but the only thing is, it isn't just her and I anymore. Now I am missing my son coming home for the first time. What is he gonna think of me bailing on him already. I don't wait to fuck this up, but it looks like I destined to lose everything I love," I tell him all in one breath.
He looks at me like I'm stupid or something. I'm not really in the mood for his snarky face and I'm ready to punch him.
"I know that you want to keep Ana safe, trust me I have the same feeling when it comes to Gail. But what you need to understand is that you have to tell her what is going on. She is a grown woman and you two are married. This is vital to your relationship, it isn't always about you, you have to take into account that you can't be the one making all the decisions anymore. Especially now that two have a young child. Once we get this mess sorted out you should see Bastille and maybe Dr. Flyn. Then go talk to Ana, tell her what happened and that you acted poorly and you are so sorry for everything." he tells me then starts the car again. Discussion over, though his advice was pretty good and it wouldn't be such a bad idea to see Bastille.
"Oh and Christian," he says looking at me in the mirror, "Flowers never hurt."
Taylor races through the streets of Seattle making up for the lost time that we spent taking. We make it to the Escala in a record time, Taylor and I take the elevator to the penthouse. When we reach the apartment I am shocked at what I see. Everything it smashed to pieces and turned over. Pillows were shredded and even the photos of Ana and I from our honeymoon were smashed to bits.
"What the fuck happened in here!" I roar. I really didn't need this shit today, I knew that someone had broken in but I didn't think a bomb went off. A boy, that couldn't have been more than 20, stumbled towards me. He must of be part of my security team, although I don't quite remember him.
"Hello sir, my name is James Johnson most people call me JJ, sir. We haven't been truly introduced yet. I was in the army and served two tours overseas." he puts his hand out and I shake it. Taylor places a hand on his shoulder trying to speed up the story, knowing that I was hanging on by a thread.
"Anyway, I was watching the security cameras along with my partner," he points behind him to another man I don't know that well, " Well we saw a person breaking in, but we aren't sure how they got past the security codes. Me and Peter went to apprehend the guy but they had a knife and well they got me and then knocked both of us out."
I noticed now that he was holding his front and there was a sticky red color that stained his hand. He also had a large bruise that was forming across his face, I looked to Peter who face looked similar.
"Jesus Christ!" I yelled, "Taylor get something for these guys, take them both to the hospital." Taylor just noticed when I did that they were seconds from collapsing and hurried to get another security guy to get them down to the cars.
"You need to tell Sawyer that Ana and Teddy can't come here. Have them redirected to the new house, even though it isn't ready yet it is livable and safer than here. I am going to grab some clothes to change into and then we are going to the new house to meet them. But first how the hell did someone get in here in the first place.I mean what good is it having a top notch security system is it doesn't even work?" I ask Taylor.
"It must have been someone who knew the codes to the apartment." Taylor says.
"But we change the codes every once in a while so it can't be any of my ex-subs, this thing is so confusing. Ugh I need to hit something. Okay I will be right back then we can leave."
I head up to mine and Ana's bedroom to grab a change of clothes because I figure I won't be going in to the office today after all. But I see in there steels the breath right from my lungs and makes my blood goes cold.
In big block letters over our bed is a sign that is written in what looks like red lipstick. It says,
SLUT BITCH WILL DIE! and it is signed with what looks like a kiss.
"TAYLOR!" I yell for him and he comes running into the room with his gun drawn.
"Well this is a problem," he mutters.
"No fucking shit its a problem, I am about to pack up my family and move to a small village in Antarctica!" I scream.
ANA POV
Sawyer gets all of Christians mine and Teddy's stuff packed into the Audi SUV. Teddy is so excited about not being in the hospital anymore that he hasn't even noticed Christian is gone. I bought a little outfit for him this morning so that he would have something to wear home. It is a simple t-shirt and tiny baby jeans, with these cute little Vans that I found also.
In one hand Teddy clutches a bear that Grace had given him when he just arrived here, and in the other he clutched my hand as we walked out of the hospital.
"Momma, do you fink I could play with the legos when we get home?" he asked. I felt choked up at the fact that he called me Momma and that he called it home. I then thought about how Christian wasn't here to hear it.
"Yes of course you can buddy," I say smiling down at him.
It took about an hour or so to get out of the hospital after we had gotten all the papers signed that released Teddy into our care, but we were finally on our way home. Sawyer got into the car with us and started to drive but he wasn't going the way that headed towards Escala.
"Sawyer where are we going?" I asked him.
"Sorry Ana but we aren't going to Escala there has been a change of plans. We are going to the house on the Sound, Taylors orders." he tells me as he continues to drive to the new house.
We pull up to the new house and I noticed that Taylors car was already here which means that Christian is here. Looks like he decided to see his son come home for the first time after all. Sawyer opens the door for me and I go around to the other side to get Teddy out of his carseat. He hops down to the floor still hanging onto the bear.
I follow him to the other side of the car that is facing the house and notice that Christian is standing there with flowers in his hand.
"Daddy!" Teddy yells then races of towards Christian. Christian opens his arms and bends down to scoop up Teddy who has barreled into him.
"Teddy Bear! Did you and Mama have a nice ride over here?" Teddy just nods then places his head on Christian's shoulder. I approach the two and Christians stretches out the hand that has flowers.
"I am so incredibly sorry for what I said. I should never have talked to you like that and I regretted it as soon as it came out of my mouth." he tells me. I take the flowers so that he can get a better position on Teddy.
"Then why Christian?" I ask.
"There is something that you and I need to talk about and Taylor can fill in the rest of the blanks for what we are going to do next," he says.
I just stare at him confused, I am completely at a lost to what we need to talk about that would concern Taylor. Unless we were in danger, I could feel my eyes get wide and then they flicked to the small little guy in Christian's arms and back to him. Christian nods gravely.
Okay so I want to say sorry if there are a lot of errors in this one, I kinda wrote it fast so I could get it out to you guys. Anyway what do you think I should do next let me know in the comments
