Chapter 29: This Is Why We Don't Have Nice Things
I Only Own The Plot
CPOV
"Productivity has been down 18% since last quarter and someone needs to go out there and see what the hell is going on with my company. I pay a ton of you guys to keep my ship afloat even when I am not around and you guys are slowly sinking my ship. I want a solution to this issue on my desk by end of the day or else a lot of you will be seeing the door. Do I make myself clear?" I bark.
Since being with My Beauty, I haven't been such a grouch around the workplace and they have taken advantage of this fact. My shipping company in Texas is down and it is pissing me off. I pay a lot of people a lot of money to run that with their eyes closed and I expected results, not my money going down the drain.
Before any of them could respond, my office door swung open and my heavily pregnant wife waddles her way into my office and sits on the couch.
"Anastasia, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be at home on bed rest." I say, looking at her from my seat at the head of the table
"I just need a nap and the boys will only calm down when they hear your voice. I've tried our wedding video where you said your vows to me and that didn't work. As soon as I stepped off the elevator and heard your voice, even though you were yelling at these poor people, the boys immediately stopped playing soccer with my kidneys. I am only here so I can sleep in peace." She says all of this as she is pulling out a blanket and pillow from the bag that she had carried in. By the end of her little speech, she had already made herself comfortable on my oversized couch that we have had so much fun on before.
"Uh, Okay. Do you need anything before I get back to work?" I ask. I never imagined myself in this situation before and I honestly find the whole situation pretty funny. Not the part where my Beauty is hurting, but the part where she didn't even wait for me to respond before making herself comfortable.
"Nope. Keep working. See you in a few hours." she said and then rolled on her side with her back facing us. You couldn't even tell she was pregnant from the back and her ass looked amazing.
"Okay, you heard her. Mr. Clayton, since you have been ogling my wife since she walked in the room, I am going to delegate that you be the one who finds a solution to our shipping problem." I say and he immediately whips his head in my direction, taking his eyes off my Beauty. I heard Ana give a quiet giggle and I just shake my head with a smirk on my face. I love that woman.
"Okay, next order of business…" I say and we get back to work.
I am going over the report that Clayton has left on my desk and it is a great solution. It is almost as if I came up with it myself. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Ana sit up rather quickly.
"Everything alright Beauty?" I ask, walking over to her.
"Um, how fond of you of this couch?" she asks looking a little sheepish. I look at the couch and see that she drooled on it leaving a huge wet spot. I bend over laughing and tell her that I am not that fond of the couch. I will get a new one in here for her and cribs for the boys for when they visit me here.
"This is why we can't have nice things." She said laughing and I joined in with her. My parents used to say that whenever Elliott or I broke something while roughhousing. I miss my mom. I will have to give her a call tonight.
"You guys decent?" we hear called at the door. Only Luke would ask something like that. Ana just shakes her head and tells him he could come in. Jason walks in behind him.
"Why didn't you alert me that Ana was on the way? I would've made sure everything was ready for her." I say looking at Luke and Jason.
"I told him not to. I wanted to surprise you. The boys have been so active recently and I missed you today." She says and my heart sinks. I was supposed to be at home with her during her bed rest, but the productivity percentage needed to be handled in person. They have been taking my absence from the office for granted and I needed to show my face.
"I am so sorry Beauty. Today was my last day working. I am yours for the next four months. Of course, I will be checking in here and there, but no more trips to the office for full days. Although, Ros did threaten that these would be our last babies if I don't bring the boys up here to see her after they are born and get a little older." I say and everyone chuckles because they know that she is serious.
"One more week and our boys will be here. I am so excited. Well not for birth, but for them to be here." Ana said and we all nodded. Everything at the house is ready for them to arrive. We are just missing them.
"Come on, let's get home so we can have dinner and a hot bath. Maybe the warm water will loosen your muscles and they will come faster." I say hopefully and she nods eagerly. I think she is agreeing with the food more than anything.
****NEM****
I swipe at my face because I feel a bug tickling my nose. Ah, that's better. I can go back to sleep now.
"Dammit," I say swiping my face again and I hear a laugh that I would know from anywhere. Ana is messing with me and I bet Luke is standing next to her recording. I pretend to still be asleep and she starts tickling my nose again. When she tries to pull her hand back I jump up and grab her making her shriek. Two things happened after that. Ana's water broke and then all hell broke loose.
"Oh my God," I say looking at the puddle of fluid on our floor.
"Holy shit! It's baby time," Luke says running out of our bedroom and screaming for Gail and Jason.
"It's time, Baby. We get to meet our little ones." Ana says looking at me.
"Let's go meet our sons, Mrs. Grey" I pull her to me and kiss her deeply.
