Chapter 26: It's A…

I Only Own The Plot

CPOV

"Christian, you're crazy! We can't possibly do this right now," Ana says, exasperated with my behavior.

I can't help it. Ever since I felt our baby move, it's all I can think about. I called up Dr. Greene as we were leaving the party and offered her a year's salary if she gave us an ultrasound tonight. She immediately jumped at the chance and said she needed an hour to shower and get ready. I told her to come as she is. Pajamas and all. She chuckled and said she would meet us at the front.

"Beauty, I know you are dying to know what we are having as well. Come on! It'll take 20 minutes tops. No waiting, no paperwork. Just the 6 of us and Dr. Greene. Please, Beauty," I look at her pouting and blinking my eyes.

"Okay! Fine! But you apologize to Dr. Greene when we get there," She says, wagging her finger at me. We all cheer and shuffle into the car. It's a tight fit and Elliott is in the trunk. We ran into Elliott on our way out of the party as he was coming in. We told him we were leaving and he was more than welcome to come with us and he agreed. He bet that the baby is a boy. Jason speeds all the way to the office and we make it there before Dr. Greene. We stay in the car in case anyone spots us and tries to take a picture of us.

"Selfie before we find out what Baby Grey is," Isa screams and we all gather close together for the picture. I see when Dr. Greene comes out of her car, still in her PJs and I feel a bit bad, but I just couldn't wait.

"Dr. Greene, I am so sorry about this. I just felt our baby kick for the first time and I couldn't wait to find out the gender so we can start working on names and the nursery. This was all my idea. Don't be mad at Ana," I say once we get inside the building and she just starts to giggle.

"I 100 percent knew that this was not Mrs. Grey's idea. She would've waited until Tuesday for our regularly scheduled appointment. At any rate, I am happy to see you all happy. Let's get this party started. Mrs. Grey, lay on the table and lift your blouse to under your breast and lower your skirt some. Gentlemen, if your name isn't Mr. Christian Grey, I am going to have to get you to turn around until I can cover Mrs. Grey," Dr. Greene says and everyone complies with that she said.

"Alright, let's see what you have created," Dr. Greene says with a small smile on her face. She begins to move the machine around on Ana's stomach and starts clicking away on the computer. Her hand freezes and she is just staring at the screen.

"Oh shit," she exclaims.

"Oh shit," we all questioningly scream at the same time.

"What does 'oh shit' mean, Dr. Greene," I question.

"Is the baby ok," Ana questions quietly. I grab her hand and rub circles on the back of her hand with my thumb.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry. Everything is fine! I just discovered something that I missed at your last appointments. If you look here, you will see," she says pointing to the screen.

"TWINS?!" Everyone shouts at the same time. Holy fuck! We are having two babies!

"Yes, you are, Mr. Grey," Dr. Greene laughs. Did I say that out loud?

"Congratulations, you're having twin boys. One is slightly behind his brother, but I can see the sex clearly. He isn't shy at all," Dr. Greene says.

"That's my boy," I shout. I hear Ana sniffle and I look down and she has so much love in her eyes.

"You gave me a two for one special, Beauty!" I say and she giggles.

"Christian Elliott Grey and Luke Jason Grey or CJ and LJ for nicknames," was all my Beauty said. I nod my head in agreement. I couldn't have picked better names.

"Really Banana?" I hear Luke ask her. He sounds choked up.

"Why would I not name him after one of the most important people in my life? Naming one of our kids after you was always our plan. If you didn't save me that day, we wouldn't even be here. Christian is my husband and the absolute love of my life, but you have been my best friend since birth. I never knew if I was going to meet Christian and get married, but I knew for sure that you'd always be in my life," Ana says with tears in her eyes and I hear sniffles all around me. Luke rushes over and gently brings Ana into his arms. They are whispering to each other and we all look away to give them privacy. After a few minutes, they break apart and stick their tongues out at each other. We all laugh at their sibling relationship.

"Well, Mrs. Grey, everything looks really great with these two. Keep doing what you're doing. Most importantly, listen to your body. Twins carry high risk and once you reach 25 weeks I want you to go on strict bed rest. Only getting up to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. I want you to listen to this because of how small you are and how big they already are. No doubt taking after their dad. You can walk for 5 minutes three times a day while you are on bed rest. I am sure Mr. Grey will make sure you keep up with it," Dr. Greene says laughing. She knows how protective I am of my Beauty.

It's about 10 pm when we make it back to the penthouse and as we navigate through the boxes in the great room I suddenly just want to spend time with my wife alone. I don't say anything, but when I look down at her, she is already looking at me and gives me a small smile. She wants the same thing but also wants to spend time with our family. I just smile back and nod. We have all the time in the world. We all sit in the movie room in our normal seats and start the usual ritual of figuring out who gets to pick what we watch.

"Jason since you were the winner last time, it's your turn to pick a number. As usual, the closet wins," I say and Jason goes to the board and writes the number down. When he turns around, the shouting begins. Luke wins because he guessed the number correctly.

"Tonight, we go to war! King Leonidas needs us," Luke yells and we all burst out laughing. I guess we are watching 300. I move Ana so she is draped across my lap and she rests her head on my shoulder. My hand automatically goes to her stomach where our boys are safe and warm.

After 2 hours, the movie goes off and we are all still wired, so we head to the game room to shoot some pool and play darts.

"Hey, do you know what's going on with Mia? Mom said she needed to talk to Ana and me," I ask Elliott as I line my shot up and I sink the ball.

"Yeah, she's moving to New York. Tomorrow. Some modeling agency reached out to her and she thinks this will be a great time to start over. She can spread her wings and get paid to do so," he says and then looks up at me. "I know she hurt you by teaming up with Carrick and Kate, but I hope you can forgive her with some time," he said and I just nod. I lay down my pool stick and pull my phone to text Mia.

I am here for you. Whatever you need. Love you, baby sis. -CG

We get back to enjoying our night and around 2 in the morning we call it a night because I see my Beauty is struggling to keep her eyes open. As we lay down I hear my phone beep and it's Mia.

Thank you, big brother, but it's time I do something adult on my own. I have my trust fund and I already have a place to live. I love you, too. Thank you for forgiving me. Can I stop by tomorrow to see you and Ana before I go? -MG

Absolutely. Come around 1 pm we should be coherent around that time. We also have news for you. -CG

Sounds good. Goodnight. -MG

I turn over to tell Ana about Mia coming tomorrow and she's already asleep with her mouth slightly open and snoring. She didn't snore until she got pregnant and I think it's the funniest thing ever. She completely denies it. I slid down to her stomach and give it two kisses for my two boys.

"Hey, boys. It's daddy. I promise to love you and your mom with every last breath in my body. I will never be like Carrick. No matter what path you choose in life, you will have our support. Your mom is the best person to ever walk on Earth. You are so lucky to have her. Be kind to her while you're in there. We never want to hurt her. I love you both," I say and put my lips to her stomach again and I feel swift kicks on my lips. I quietly laugh so I don't wake Ana. I scoot back to the top of the bed and wrap my arms around Ana. She snuggles deeper into my arms and then sighs.

I am literally holding my whole world in my arms. I couldn't be any luckier. I hope our next baby is a girl who looks just like Ana. I look down at the beautiful woman in my arms and I know I am going to regret wishing that. I let sleep take me over and I know I have the biggest smile on my face.
