Damn it, what is this last question? I studied my ass off last night, so i wouldnt flunk this last test. I just need to pass this class and then I will be a college graduate. I know took me long enough but you see, we got delayed from graduating early since Mystic Falls had different credit coarses and other requirements, but me and kate still managed to graduate early, just a year later. It was hard with little Rosemary and with my little Teddy. Yes you heard me, turns out you should always continue taking your birthcontrol even if you dont plan on having sex. I found out i was pregnant two months after we moved, dad was pissed but he understands it wasnt necessarily my fault. So having two babies months apart, had us all sleep deprived. But today is the day, kate and I are taking our finals and we will finally be done with college.

Dad loves being a grandpa, him and the kids are thick as theives. Sometimes i have to ask myself if we was taking care of three babies, but i know he just enjoying what he missed with me.

I finally answer the last question, i take my test to the front and I walk out, I can feel the weight lift of me.

" Ana! we did it!"

" I know, its been hard but were finally going to be working moms"

" I know right, with our G.P.As we should be able to get any jobs we want."

" Right the question is, do we really want to move back to seattle?"

" Ana we talked about this, they have the best reporter and publishing offices, you saw the stars on the websites."

" I know but what about Theodore and Rosemary, better yet their fathers."

" Its a whole big ass city Ana, what are the chances we run into them, better yet Christian should still be in the middle of college and Elliot well I dont know."

" For someone who just finished college, I didnt think would be this dumb."

" Heeyyy! Do you want to go in timeout"

We both start laughing, we loop our arms and we head home. The kids are both around 4 in a half. with only about 2months in between. Teddy came a little early, due to me being to small. The doctors wasnt sure i would be able to do it natural, they was real close to doing a c-section. Kate had no problems, they said most little girls are always tiny, but since I just had to have a boy, he was 8lb 3oz, like why. I didnt even over eat, I was all baby.

Anyways our plan is to move back to the big city, just in time for school to start. The kids will go to preschool while we work, and if need be dad will pick them up. Yes, dad was not letting us leave him behind. Something about these kids are his life and that we are stuck with him.

We walked through the door and oh my god, me and kate both dropped our stuff.

" CONGRATULATIONS! mommies "

There was dad with all kinds of decorations everywhere, both are kids had cupcakes in their hands, im guessing was for us but by dads face and a shrug of his shoulders says otherwise.

" Rose is that my cupcake?" kate said with her hands on hips, quite comical. Rose eyes went wide but she still shook her head no. Kate might as well give up, she wasnt getting it. You see Rose looked like Kate but she gets her mischief from her dad.

I turned to walk away but before i could, the tug on my shirt made me look down. There was my little Teddy offering me his half eaten cupcake. I picked him up and just started kissing him everywhere

" mommmmmy stoppppp"

" oh no you ate my cupcake so now you get tickles and kisses."

" buuutttttt mommmmy i saved you sommmme." He was so full of giggles he could barely talk.

" Ok. I guess your off the hook. Give me a bite."

The way he looked at me I should of known, but he looked so innocent.

" Con grad lations mommy"

I go to take a bite of the cupcake but Teddy decided to smear it all over my face. I instantly put him down, the room was quiet until it wasnt. They was all laughing at me, and teddy face had a smirk on it, he was so proud of hisself.

" oh teddy teddy teddy"

I grab the rest of the cupcake and started walking to him. His eyes went wide and he hid behind my dad.

" Grandpa Help"

" Now Annie have mercy on the dear boy"

I put my hand on my hips and looked at kate, she instantly started laughing considering my face was still covered in icing. So it was only fair that I smashed it in Kate face, they all gasped and then they was laughing at kate.

" Anaaaa Seriously"

" Not so funny now huh"

After a few more laughs, we cleaned up all the cake and got washed up. Dad was going to treat us all to dinner for finishing school even with all the obstacles we had. It was a great night, we got the kids tucked in and us adults gathered around in the living room discussing the big move one last time.

" You ladies sure you want to do this? You know the chances of running into the kids Fathers are high right."

" I said the samething daddy, but kate is right. The jobs we want are there in seattle."

" Plus Ray its only right to let you get back to your friends, and so your not stuck with the babies."

" Kate when will you learn, you girls and the babies are my life, I dont need all that other stuff. Plus my friends are also the grandparents of your babies. How will I explain to them that I knew and didnt say anything."

" Them being parents I would hope they would understand, and if not we will make them understand that it wasnt your choice."

" So theres no changing yalls minds then"

" No sir, Im getting that reporter job, I deserve it for not giving up."

" Annie?"

" She right dad, we deserve it, plus were a family and were not going to seperate now."

" Ok well I managed to get a 3 apartment complex. So we all can have our own privacy. Ill give you guys about a month to get settled but than you got to start helping pay for the building, plus your own utilities."

" wait as in you bought the whole building?"

" Yes. thats how easy it is when you have good credit. "

" awe thanks dad"

" No problem sweetheart, now we better head to bed,its going to be a long week."

" Goodnight"

Kate and I stayed up a little longer, until kate went to bed. I wasnt tired, I was too worried about this move. What if I did run into Christian, how would I explain to him about teddy. Even if he wanted nothing to do with me, he still technically has a right to Teddy. I decided to grab my computer and do some research on Christian, maybe he doesnt even live in seattle.

I was searching for about a hour and couldnt find nothing, only his old social media account that hasnt been used since he was 14. So i decided to take another route and looked up Elliot, there was a billion things about him. He definitely became that big bad Architect, hes worth millions in such little time. It says he hasnt had a girlfriend that he was a bachelor, that he changed woman like he changed his clothes. There was only one picture of him on the internet too. It was like someone was spending alot to keep their family a secret. Even Mia was a mystery except for something about her being in Paris. Their parents information hasnt been updated for the past 2 years. Its strange and it only makes me more paranoid about moving back.

I dont know what time I fell asleep but next thing i know is teddy is jumping on my bed saying he wants pancakes. I look at the clock and I see its only 7am. God I should of went to bed when everyone else did. I grab teddy and start cuddling with him.

" mommy pancakes"

" just a moment my little theodore, i just need cuddles"

" Ok just a minute"

he held up his one finger, just like i would. It was so adorable until I looked at him and all I could see is his father, his eyes just as grey and full of emotions that he doesnt understand yet. Fuck moving back to seattle was messing with my head. I havent thought nice thoughts of Christian since before we broke up except for when teddy was born, cause he was the best thing to happen to me.

We get up from our cuddles and we go brush our teeth, then we head to the kitchen to make pancakes. Ill never know how i was the person to go to bad last but be the second one up, Oh to be a mommy. I get a chair so teddy can see what im doing and we start making chocolate chip pancakes cause teddy loves chocolate.

" Aunt Ana, i want pancakes too."

" good morning sweetie, wheres your mommy?"

" She still snoring"

" Ok well theres plenty, climb in the chair and i will bring you a plate sweetie. Teddy hop down so mommy can put your chair by Rose's ok."

" ok mommy"

I get the kids all fed and placed in front of the tv, just in time for bluey. I go take a shower, and get dressed. Then I go wake up Katherine, and Ray since we have packing and graduation today.

A couple hours later and were all at the college, Rays takes the kids to the bleachers where the guest are sitting. Me and kate head to the gym to get our robes. We had our crying moment, then the excitement was all that was left. This was it, after today we was adults and the choices we make will be our own.

Im sitting in my office, debating to go to this college that wanted me to hand out the deplomas. Its a good college, has great ratings but I just dont have the time. Ive spent the last two years building my company from scratch, I worked hard and graduated highschool early and spent one year in college when I realised it wasnt for me and I could do this without a degree. My father wasnt happy about it but now hes somewhat ok. Im a billionare, and its all thanks to Elena. Yes E- was Elena, that night five years ago it was her that I met up with. I should of went to the police but I had nothing left, those words I said to Anastasia drove her away, she was gone within the week, that night I met Elena exactly. She gave me everything I needed, the control i kept losin, the desire to experiment bdsm. And no we didnt sleep together much to Elena lack of trying, I told her that was never going to happen. Instead she found me women, and trained me. I have strict shedules and this college is interfering with that. I have meetings and a session at the gym, then im meeting one of the girls Elena picked for some stress relief.

I pressed the intercom and told my secretary to tell Ross to come here. She was my second in command. As soon as she entered I told her to take my jet and go hand out these diplomas, she argued but we both know who the boss is.

I called the dean and apologized, that i was just too busy but was sending my number two in my stead. He was disappointed but completely understood, and to take care. With that i dived back into work, to stay on schedule. I am Christian Fucking Grey after all.
