Just a few more mintues now, they just called Kate up to get hers. Theres a lady handing out diplomas but from I hear she wasnt the one that was suppose to do it. Some big shot was suppose to do it but was to busy for us graduates that he sent someone else. Dad starts wolf whistling and the kids start blowing these horns that dad gave them, bless their little souls. Kate curtsies for everyone and makes her way back to her seat. When I was watching her go to her seat thats when I realised their was Cameras. I quickly got a teachers attention that was walking by and asked whats up with the cameras. She told me since there was suppose to be a big CEO here, that this was suppose to be live on national television, they tried to cancel it when they found out it was his number two instead but Mrs.Ross said it shall all go as planned, boss's orders. I tried asking her what the company's name but it was my turn to walk, and if I thought dad was loud during Kates walk then I was crazy cause it was ten times worse, even Kate joined in on the chaos.
" Well Your a big shot huh?"
I looked to my right and thats when I realised I was already to the front.
" Oh im sorry, its just my dad, son, neice and bestfriend."
" I see, well their proud of you, congratulations Miss Steele. Oh smile for the camera"
Next thing you know it, Mrs.Ross was shaking my hand and smiling for the camera. I know they dont know this is Live on the television, but im gonna shoot them for drawing attention to me. I head to my seat, and wait for it to be over. After this its time to start packing because I have a interview at SIP. Seattle independent publishing and if everything goes well this momma will be working woman doing what she loves. Once it was all over, all the graduates threw their hats in the air, it was a perfect camera moment. I meet up with Kate and we make our way over to our babies, who was all too happy to congratulate us, which one again drawed attention.
" Ah Miss.Steele, I wanted to get a family shot of you and Miss. Kavanagh. I hear you two graduated early from highschool and now college while containing a mommy role, its something like this that my boss's appreciates."
" Oh um."
" Ohh come on Ana, we did it, this will show others that they can too."
" But Kate.."
Kate wasnt having it, she dragged me over and we both picked up our child and held them close. Something inside me is telling me this is a bad Idea but now its too late. They took a few pictures not just one, and asked the names of our children. Mrs.Ross promised the kids whole name wouldnt be in the paper, for safety precautions of coarse. She handed me her card, and told me if i needed any references to give her a call. She was really nice for being a COO, but i told her thank you no less.
Once that was over we all headed back home for dinner and to start packing, it was going to be a long night.

I was snapped out of my zone when my phone rang, their lucky it was Ross, cause if not whoever would of been on the other end would of got a earful.
" Ross hows it going up there?"
" pretty good sir, you should turn on the television and watch. Its a good turn out. Anyways the reason I called theirs Two woman here, who managed to graduate early from both highschool and college while being mommy's. I think it would be good for our benefits to show appreciation of the situation, and to show that all mothers can do what they need to do."
" I see, well go ahead and do what you think is best, and our HR team will send me a draft before its sent off, got to make sure the story is good."
" Ok good, well I got to go catch them before they leave, the one dont seem to keen on being in the public eye."
Before I could tell Ross not to boss the woman around she hung up. I know when Ross sets her mind to something she can be pushy but thats why I hired her. Those woman sound like people I would want working for my company if they managed to do all that while being Moms. Once I get the rough draft and see if I can get some information to send them a job opportunity, whether they want to work here or not wont hurt.
I look at the time and see its time to head tocmy training session at the gym, so i grab my suit jacket and head out the door. I was almost to the elevator when my secretary said my brother was on the line. What the hell could he want, considering we barely talk. I told her to tell him I just left and to try back later. I dont talk to most of my family besides the occasional sunday dinner, which its no hard feelings im just busy building my empire. My mother does the occasional show up unannounced but thats about it and its mainly to make sure im still eating healthy and all that which I am. I hired a security team since im a billionare, the reporters have become savage, and theres things I dont need the world knowing. Taylor is my main man, I knew his father Taylor senior, he was there during Ana's kidnapping and he came highly recommended. I know just talking about Ana's kidnapping, your wondering how I could keep all these secrets about Elena. Well you see, people are useful and when their not useful is when you get rid of them and Elena is pretty darn useful, so I have no need to dispose of her yet. Even now she has a warrent, and technically breaking a restraining order and a few other laws. Taylor doesnt agree on this, he thinks we should turn her over to the police but i sign his checks and NDAs come in handy before giving them a job.
I was at the gym, and I was almost finished when Elliot came storming in.
" Bro you should really start answering your fucking phone!"
" Elliot not now, ive been busy and this was my only time to get to the gym. So if you dont mind."
" Fuck you Christian, You havent seen the papers then have you?"
That got my fucking attention, what would be in the papers that I dont know about.
" Ok you got my attention spill."
" I got something better for you."
He throws a paper at me and its about my company, about how the COO Ross handed out diplomas.
" Ok whats so important about that, im the one who sent her."
" God Christian open it."
I open the magazine and thats when I see a post about the two moms, which I never approved to be posted yet. I keep reading and I respect these moms for what they have done. That is until I see the photo and caption.
Miss. Steele with her son Therodore and Miss.Kavanagh with her daughter Rosemary. Ladies you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
I looked to Elliot and then I looked back to the photo. Im not seeing things thats My Anastasia, and she has a son. He looks to be about four, and Kate has a daughter who looks about the same age.
" What the Fuck!"
" Right so its not just me then, those are our kids?"
Once i hear Elliot, I look at the boy again, he looks so happy while being carried by his mom. I look harder and thats when I see he has my eye color which is not a common eye color and the more I looked at the photo, he started looking just like me.
I quickly call Ross and tell her to get that magazine pulled now, that I didnt approve of it. She told me she did approve it, but no matter what I needed it gone before someone puts two and two together definitely here in seattle where we grew up.
" Christian"
I looked to Elliot and said what
" How do we both have kids, that look the same age?"
"I dont know, ill have Taylor do some digging. Right now, we have to get it underwrap, or they could be in danger. As soon as I get some info, we both will confront them."
" ok."
" Elliot by the math, and how old that kid looks, you would of been heading or in College."
His eyes went wide " I slept with her before I left to find a college, and by the time I came back to visit she was already gone."
" I dont know Elliot, I mean Ana has a little boy who could be my twin and I knew nothing about it. I mean I dont even know if I wanted any Kids. Im fifty shades of Fucked up if you know what i mean."
" Yea you are out there man."
" Fuck you"
We both laughed, which was weird I havent done that in a long time, let alone laugh with my brother.
" Look go home, and ill meet you at your house later when I gather the information."
" Ok bro, dont leave me hanging too long. Im already going crazy with thoughts."
Elliot left and I went back upstairs to my office, I called Taylor and Ross to meet me there. While waiting I called and cancelled my session with whoever Elena had picked out for, to say she wasnt happy was a understatement, she was full of questions that I wasnt going to give her. I mean she threaten Ana all those years ago, so until I get protection detail on her, no one will know.
" You asked for us boss? Look if its about the magazine im sorry, i should of double checked it first."
" Have a seat everyone, Taylor I need you to listen to everything thats going to be said, then i will explain what needs to be done."
" Oh god Christian dont fire me, it was..."
"Ross im not firing you! I need you to tell me everything about the two moms you met today."
She gave me a look of confusion
" I mean, their school reports was amazing, the dean had all nice things to say. what else you want to know."
" Who was they with, how old was the kids, what made you pick them."
" um ok, the dad in the audience was making as much noise with the two little ones when their moms got their diplomas. They did it for miss Kavanagh first but when they did it the second time it drew my attention because they was extra loud. Ana said it was her dad, son and neice."
" Ana?"
" Yes said she didnt like being called miss steele. She didnt really want to be in the photo, but miss Kavanagh wouldnt let her not, said they finally did it and to enjoy the appraisal."
" I see. What im about to say does not leave this room. I believe that is my son that is with Ana and my neice with kate."
They both gave me dumb looks and it was so quiet you could hear a pen drop.
" Sir are you sure."
" Taylor that is Ana then one your father rescued years ago. and here is my picture and here is the boy in the magazine. Im pretty fucking sure. An Elliot is the wrong who brought this to my attention."
" Oh wow Christian, now that you point it out he did have your eyes, but it didnt cross my mind. I was too proud of the ladies."
" right. Since my brother has seen the magazine, im not sure who hasnt. Ana could be in danger again, it was the reason i pushed her away. Taylor I need you to start digging and find out where the ladies are and have someone watch them until my brother and I can confront them."
" on it boss anything else?"
" No that will be all, and Taylor I want that report Today before i leave the office."
Taylor was out the door before I could finish my sentence, i knew i could count on him.
" Wow boss, who would of thought you had a mystery child in the world. Are you excited"
" Im still processing it Ross, you free to leave."
I still couldnt wrap my head around the fact. How could she keep such a secret.
' Well Grey you wasnt exactly nice the last time you spoke'
Shit! Am i ready for a kid, am i ready for Ana to come and take my control that ive built around me.
