"DADA" my son squealed to me.

We were jumping over waves as I held him under his arms. Ana always called him our water baby and he definitely was.

We decided to come to Meridian for his first birthday with it being March, it is warm but not too hot for him like when Ana and I came for our honeymoon.

Ana was inside the house making lunch for us. After all this time I can still only microwave and make toast and cereal so my son wouldn't go hungry but I prefer for him to eat more than that.

"Mama" Teddy called seeing Ana approach.

I held his hand as he toddled to his mother as she held her arms out, picking him up from me.

"Dinners ready if you two have finished playing in the sea."

I kissed her lips before following her into the house.

Teddy started to walk when he was just over 10 months, he had been walking along the furniture for the week before just pulling himself up. He was very pleased with his accomplishments, but when I came home from work early one evening I walked into the living room where he was stood next to Ana banging a block on the table, seeing me he gave me a bit smile and let go of the table and started taking steps, I moved towards him as he took six steps into my arms. Giggling as Ana and I kissed his face.

...

"Your mum called just before they took off, they should be landing on the mainland around 4pm so I told her you would be there." Ana told me when we sat down for lunch.

Our family were all due to arrive today to share Teddy's first birthday. Ray was coming with my parents, grandparents, Kate, Elliot, Mia and Sean. Yes that's right Sean. He adores my sister and they make a good couple so as long as he doesn't hurt my little sister I don't see a problem.

GEH and GP are doing very well, I've been dreading the conversation of Ana going back to work now Teddy will be one, I finally brought it up on our second night here. I knew it would hang over my head all holiday if I didn't ask her what her plans were.

"Christian I love being at home with Teddy and to tell you the truth I don't want to make any changes for the moment. I enjoy reading the manuscripts when I'm not building bricks or playing cars. I'm not ready to give that up yet"

I don't think I have ever felt such a relief, I want Teddy to have what I didn't have, his mother around. The only thing Ana said that she did want to do with work was to attend the editors meeting on a Monday morning which she will do when we go home. It is a couple of hours on a Monday morning when she can find out what is going on in her company, what books are being petitioned and generally being the CEO.

For the time that Ana is in her meeting Teddy will be coming to work with daddy. All meetings on a Monday morning will be cancelled unless they want a toddler running around, then again it might make a dull meeting more entertaining.

We all sat around eating pasta, Teddy's a bit smaller than ours but still getting his chest covered in the tomato sauce he has on it. He's a big boy now and likes to get his hands in it usually resulting in bath time. Showers a big no no with him. He will jump into the pool if I hold his hands but the shower on his head and he doesn't like it.

After lunch and Teddy was cleaned up I made sandcastles on the beach while Ana went for a swim in the ocean, they were both smothered in sun screen and Teddy had a hat on his head. We usually keep a t-shirt on Teddy even in the water to try and keep him from getting sunburnt.

My wife had made sure my back and neck was covered as well as I always get burnt there and I didn't want anything to stop me making love to my wife.

...

"Are you ready for our peace to be shattered" I asked Ana as I was getting the helicopter ready to fly to the mainland, going over all the checks with my son sat in the seat next to me reaching for all the buttons, maybe doing checks with a toddler was not ideal but I love to have him next to me so if it took a bit longer then so be it.

"It will be a lot louder around here but I'm looking forward to seeing our family and also they would never forgive us if they didn't get to see Teddy on his birthday."

Ana took Teddy from the helicopter, I waited until they were a safe distance away until I started the rotors. I could see his arms stretching out to me as we lifted off the ground knowing he would be upset at daddy leaving, Taylor was with me today with all the rest of our security left looking after my family on the island.

We landed on the mainland 45 minutes later and didn't have long to wait for the jet to arrive. Our helicopter was the newest of the GEH fleet. We wanted something that we could have at a moments notice instead of having to hire one every time we came. The staff that were still on the island came by boat which took a bit longer for them but often came with a boat load full of supplies.

This helicopter was bigger than Charlie tango and held more people which was lucky when all the family came to stay.

I stood waiting for the stairs to go into place, seeing my sister the first off the jet. Receiving hugs from all my family including Ray we were all soon strapped into the helicopter.

Kate finally had her flight upfront with Ana not being here, my grandparents had made the trip, not wanting to miss their great grandsons birthday.

This would be the first time all the family had come to the island as we wanted some of the villas and communications upgraded especially the internet. I could run my company from this island now if I wanted to but being here was family time.

"Is that it" Mia asked me as the island came into view.

"Yes that's Meridian" I said as everyone looked towards the island.

"Its huge" Kate said as we got closer and I headed to the landing pad which we had built near the beach.

"Its paradise."

"Stay where you are until we land otherwise we will all have a face full of sand" I said as we lowed down landing safety on the pad

Switching the rotors off we waited for them to stop as I opened the door, everyone started to get out but I went straight to my son who had been crying.

"He slept for an hour and woke up wanting daddy, when your weren't here he started crying again" Ana said.

I held him in my arms, his little bear in his hand as I brushed his little tears away

"Teddy look who is here" I said as he lifted his head off my shoulder seeing his family there.

"Ish" he said seeing his grandfathers approach. We all had a boys day out and by the end of the day all he kept say was ish, he couldn't get the f right for fish but it didn't matter we knew what he meant.

"Teddy bear" Ray said taking him from my arms as Teddy giggled. We had sorted out villas for everyone and made sure every one of the villas was equipped with a golf cart which made Ana laugh when I told her I had purchased them, she originally though they were for at home until I told her jokingly that I was going to build a race track around the island for them. Forget Mario carts we would have Grey Carts.

She kissed my lips commiserating with me as the way I drove the last time we were here there was not way I would win. I wasn't driving fast with my pregnant wife. The road has had some improvements to make it more safer now.

We all headed into the main house where our parents and grandparents were staying, they would be looked after here and have every thing they needed. Security had the same villa as last time with Sam and Ryan sharing. A new development which I wasn't too happy about originally. But on the job they are very professional and I have had no complaints so far.

Ana suspected something before they came and told us, Sam offering to step down from her role as Ana's CPO but we didn't want to lose either especially Ryan's protection of Teddy.

It happened in Paris as my wife told me, but I didn't want to know about my staff's sex life.

"Come on" Ana pulled my hand as we walked down the beach.

Elliot was walking ahead of us with Kate as they both held Teddy's hand who walked at his own pace between them. Their luggage would all be delivered to the villas by staff but we wanted to show them the rooms ourselves.

"Mia, Sean this is your villa" Ana said as we stopped at the one three away from ours.

"We will see you at the main house for dinner" Ana said after we had shown them where everything was.

We reached Kate and Elliot's villa eventually that was next to the security's which was still away from our own.

Kate had picked Teddy up as his little legs were getting tired from walking. When we had shown them also what we needed to we headed back to our villa to get Teddy bathed and ready for bed.

He no longer was on the breast, he had developed a cold when he had just turned 7 months which made him all snuffly and was not able to latch on properly. He was able to use a smaller teat on the bottle to drink though but after that he preferred the bottle. Ana was distraught at first thinking she had done something wrong but my mum told her it was just his time to move on to the bottle. He loved his food though and had his daddy's appetite besides her breast were all mine again.

"Do you want to get Gail to sit with him while we go to dinner or take him with us" I asked Ana as we were getting dressed after our shower.

Teddy was in his playpen talking to his toys.

"Take him with us today, its their first night so I would like all the family to have dinner together. We can take his stroller with us if he falls asleep" Ana said walking out of the bathroom.

She looked gorgeous as always with a long summer dress on.

"Your starring Mr Grey" she said giving me a kiss.

"I cant help it Mrs Grey you are a beautiful sight."

I pulled her to me kissing her lips as she moaned in to my mouth, If it wasn't for the little boy in the room I know this would have gone a lot further but for now a kiss will have to do.

He is in his own room at home and once he is awake we are all awake thanks to my brother. He kept complaining it looked like Teddy was behind bars and ran a toy along the bars making a noise. Now Teddy bangs on the bars to be picked up.

We left our villa making our way to the golf cart as Ana got into the driving seat.

"Its my turn for Mario carts" she laughed. "Besides I want to get there tonight."

I poked her in the side making her laugh more as Teddy started to giggle hearing his mothers laugh.

It wasn't long until we passed Kate and Elliot's villa as they were coming out, they soon went passed us as Ana wasn't as slow as I was but still wouldn't speed with Teddy in tow.

"That's amazing" Elliot said when we reached them. "You need to get a track bro we could race."

I was just about to say something when Ana's finger came to my mouth.

"Don't encourage him Elliot, he has already thought of that" Ana said as we made our way into the main house.

"There you all are, where have you been" granddad asked.

"Don't ask" Ana said passing Teddy into his outstretched arms.

We were all sat around eating various fish and vegetarian dishes. The wine was open and in full flow my wife sticking to her usual one glass when I was only on my second. Neither of us will drink a lot with Teddy around and usually with Ana her first glass is only half drunk when we leave. She has never been a heavy drinker and I don't think she ever will.

"He's asleep Christian" mum said from across the table.

I had Teddy on my chest with his head in the crook of my neck, hearing his little snores down my ear.

"I know, I just enjoy these moments before he grows too big" I said as Ana set his stroller up.

Placing him in it, he didn't wake up. As usual his bear was encased in his hand.

I enjoyed the rest of my meal as I held my wife hand throughout, running my finger over her rings.

We said our good nights as we went back to the golf buggy.

"If you want to get back quickly go first because if you get behind me I'm not rushing" I didn't want to jar Teddy and wake him up. I wanted to make love to my wife when we got back.

They left before us and were already in their villas when we passed. Passing our security's villa we said goodnight to Sawyer who was on patrol. They wouldn't come down to our villa unless it was an emergency, so I could take a bath with the doors open or make love to Ana on the beach and no one would see us.

"Do you want to go for a swim" Ana asked me when Teddy was safe and sound inside his playpen.

With the doors to our bedroom we would be able to see if from the beach.

"Love to I will just get my suit" I said but she pulled my hand towards the beach.

"Who said anything about suits" Ana said pulling he dress off revealing her naked body underneath as she walked into the water.

"Are you coming in or are you just going to stand there gawking" she called to me.

She lowered herself into the water swimming around. The only light was the light from the villas and the moonlight above but I could still see the water glistening on her body when she stood up.

Fuck Grey get it into gear. I hadn't moved, too shocked at my wife so I was still stood on the beach with a hard cock now in my shorts. Quickly stripping off I went to join my wife.

"You are a minx Mrs Grey" I said when I had reached her pulling her into my arms.

"Yes but you wouldn't have me any other way" she said crashing her lips to mine.

I pulled her body closer to mine feeling my cock between us but our lips never left skin. When we broke away to breath I lifted her so her breast were out of the water and sucked both of her nipples as she wrapped her legs around me.

"Christian, Christian fuck me Christian" was the moans and mumbles from my wife.

I had managed to find a solid bit of the ocean floor where it wasn't to soft or break away as I thrust into my wife. I swallowed her loud shout as my mouth was back on hers.

I wouldn't say this was fucking or making love it was in-between. I thrust in and out of my Ana but showed her body how much I loved her.

When she started squeezing my cock we were both gone as we came together both of us trying not to shout out our release.

I held Ana's trembling body in my arms while we came down.

"You ok Ana" I asked when I could talk

"Perfect Christian."

Taking her hands we left the ocean, picking up our clothes as we both walked naked back into our room. Teddy was still fast asleep in the playpen as we went to shower.

After another round of making love this time in the shower we both climbed into bed exhausted.

...

We were woken up the next morning by our little boy. Tomorrow he was one, Ana wanted to make his cake today so it was Teddy and daddy day as we stayed out of the way. He was to have two cakes both the same chocolate but Ana wanted him to have a small cake which Teddy could enjoy. He will probably be hands straight in and covered in it but it will be his birthday so he can do what he wants.

We had just eaten breakfast when there was a knock on the main door at the back. I went to open it to be greeted by Ray and Granddad.

"Come in, your up early. I thought you would have had a lie in" I said as they made there way inside following me to the kitchen when Teddy was eating his breakfast.

"Ish" Teddy said making us all laugh before going back to his food.

"Morning dad, granddad" Ana greeted them both kissing their cheeks.

"Morning sweetheart, what are the plans for today I know your busy Annie" ray said.

"My day is in the kitchen up at he main house, I'm not sure what your doing" she turned to me.

"My plans are what ever Teddy wants to do with preferably keeping him out of the hot sun" I said.

We agreed a beach day as we kissed Ana goodbye, Teddy was watching Ana like a hawk so we had to distract him so she could leave. He had become very clingy recently not wanting either of us to leave which usually had a few tears when it was time to go to work. That is the main reason I will take him with me when Ana goes into GP.

It was boy time on the beach as my dad, Elliot and Sean joined us as well. Teddy would look to the house asking for mama but was quickly distracted by one of us.

We watched Elliot and Sean go on the jet skis, dad and I going next with Elliot looking after his nephew. It was a good job granddad was there to supervise otherwise who knows what my brother would have gotten up to with him.

"Mama" was a squeal that had us all turning to the house when Ana emerged with Kate.

"Lunch is ready" she called us as we all headed into our villa Teddy ahead of us straight into him mothers arms.

My mother and grandmother were all uncovering sandwiches while Mia poured drinks.

"Hows he been" Ana asked me when we sat down to eat.

Teddy was firmly planted on his mothers knee and with the grip he had on her dress she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

"He's been ok, he asked for you a few times but we were able to distract him" I said leaning over to steal a kiss feeling a little hand against my chest as my lips touch Ana.

Looking down to see my sons face basically telling me to get off his mother.

"She's mine" I said tickling his chin as he giggled.

"Did you manage to get everything done."

"Yes its all made and cooling, well as much as it can cool down in this heat but Louis will keep an eye on it" she said. Louis was our main chef here on the island and didn't mind my wife invading his kitchen for our little boy.

We spent the rest of the day on the beach, we were going to have our food delivered here but Ana needed to go back to the main house to finish Teddy cake off and with teddy not letting his mother out of his sight it was easier that way.

"It done do you want to come and see" Ana asked me as I followed her to the kitchen while my mum held Teddy.

"He's going to love it" I said laughing at the cake in front of my. It was a bears face, a white bear like Teddy's bear. There was a smaller version just for Teddy. I couldn't wait until tomorrow.

"What is happening tomorrow" Mia asked us when we had gotten back to the table.

"As little as possible I hope" Ana said next to me with a now sleepy Teddy against her chest. Spending the day in a hot kitchen on a hot island, she is tired as well now.

"We are having a party here at two so the morning will be at our villa if you want to come there. Louis our chef is handling everything here and the cake is ready so all we have to do is enjoy Teddy's first birthday."

We said our goodbyes with plans for everyone to come to our villa in the morning as we headed back.

…

Waking up to the birds and our son talking was the perfect way to wake up, the birds I could do with out sometimes but our sons noises I will never get enough of.

"Do we have to get up yet" Ana mumbled from beside me.

"No you sleep a bit longer I will see to Teddy" I kissed her forehead as I picked our son up.

"Happy birthday my Teddy bear" I said blowing raspberry's on his stomach earning a squeal from him.

Taking him into the guest room which would be his when he was older I changed his diaper before getting him a drink. I know Ana would want us to wait until she was awake to open his presents so Teddy was happy just playing with his toys.

Ana came in 30 minutes later kissing my lips before picking Teddy up and smothering him in kisses as he giggled in her arms.

"Happy birthday my baby boy."

Ana sat down as we pulled his presents to him. Teddy was more interested in the boxes than what was inside and had a lot of fun in the large box for his car which he climbed inside. He would have fun when we got home then as he had the exact same one at home all boxed up.

Elliot and Kate were the first to arrive seeing me with half my body out of the box playing with Teddy and bear as he hit the sides.

"We should have just bought him a lot of cardboard boxes" Kate laughed now I had emerged and Elliot had taken my place in the box as our son giggled away. I think by the end of the day we would all have taken a turn in the box.

Once everyone arrived we sat Teddy down between my legs as we opened his presents after he had kisses from everyone.

He loved his little cars as he ran them up and down my leg and especially loved the wooden helicopter that he pushed the rotors around on.

"Dada" he said patting the top of the helicopter.

"He gets smarter everyday" grandma said and I couldn't agree more.

We all made our way to the main house where it was all set up for a party. A large banner with Teddy on it was behind a table now laden with foods.

There were balloons all over the floor which my brother stayed away from, all the things to be scared of with my big brother was a simple balloon.

Teddy toddled through the balloons patting them and chasing them until he finally managed to catch one in his chubby hands. Seeing Elliot off the the side Teddy toddled his way balloon in hand as Teddy passed it to him.

He was making sure his uncle didn't miss out unfortunately by the comical look on my brothers face I think he would have preferred that.

"Thanks Teddy" he said immediately dropping the balloon when Teddy turned away.

"Your getting braver Son" dad called to Elliot laughing, I think if he had been able to get away with it he would have told him where to go.

"Teddy come here son" I called him as he headed after Ana towards the kitchen.

He was still slow on his chubby legs but he had his mothers stubbornness when it came to doing something. If he wanted to do it he would achieve just that.

"Mama" he said getting upset when Ana had disappeared behind the kitchen door "MAMA" he shouted louder as I picked him up.

"Mama will be back in a minute" thankfully Ana came back a minute later taking Teddy out of my arms.

"Hey no tears on you birthday" she said kissing his cheek and wiping his tears away.

"I was trying to put the candles on the cake, can you finish it please and light the candles" Ana asked me. Kissing both of their foreheads I headed into the kitchen.

I emerged a few minutes later with Teddy's cake. The candles were alight as we sang happy birthday to him. The smaller cake was placed in front of Teddy when he was placed in his high chair. His hands were straight into the cake and then into him mouth.

We only put candles in his big cake so he could tuck straight into his little one so I pulled the candles out before cutting a slice. I don't think Ana will need a slice as Teddy was feeding her the cake off his fingers as he giggled away.

"Do you want some cake Christian" Ana said coming to me as I pulled her into my arms.

"I will just have this bit off your cheek" I said licking the little hand print of frosting that was on her face.

We stood watching our son enjoy his birthday, all the laughter and love he was surrounded by was there to see.

If I could only choose one word to describe my life, my wife, my son and my family all around us at this moment that one word would be FLAWLESS.

Thank you to all of you who have joined me on their journey as I wrote this story, I didn't think I would get emotional writing that one word at the end but I did.

There will be more to come of their story. I'm hoping to have the first chapter up in a couple of weeks when I have finished the summary. That seem to take longer than writing the actual story.

Until next time
