Yesterday I went for my five months check up with Dr. Greene. We are going to have a little boy. Christian is through the roof about it. We are driving out to Grace and Carrick's house they organize a little dinner party for Christian's birthday today. So we are heading over there now. We arrived and to my surprise, Mrs. Robinson was also present at Christian's party. My pissed off meter immediately spiked breaking the mercury out of the measuring glass. I greeted everyone. Dr. Flynn with his wife has also been invited along with Ros and her girlfriend a really pretty and petite little woman.

Kate cornered me in the dining room asking me how I was and how married life is treating me. I told her everything just couldn't be better. I could see she need a friend and we sat at the table talking. She is worried Elliot is going to leave her, he was according to her very distracted and very distant for some reason. I didn't know what to really tell her to lift her spirits, but I tried my best. Then after Kate left the dining room, Mia cornered me. Great what is going on here? Since when did I become, Ana the advice giver?

'Ana, you are positively glowing.'

'Thanks, Mia. How can I help you?' I smiled at her, squeezing her hand.

'It's Ethan.'

'What about him?'

'He won't date me because his sister is dating Elliot.'

'Have you explained to him that you were all adopted?'

'Yes, I did but he still thinks it's wrong. What can I do?'

'Well, I only know Ethan through Kate and we are not at all close. But what I can do say is that you should rather talk to Kate she really knows her brother much better than I do.'

'That's a great idea. Thanks, Ana. You really are the best sister-in-law I could only dream to have.'

'You're welcome cute sister-in-law.' She got up and left the dining room after giving me a hug. I got up and I feel so stiff from all this sitting. I almost reached the door when Elena stood before me.

'May I speak with you, Ana?'

'No, you may not.' I spoke and I was almost past her when she grabs my arm and pulled me back into the room and closed the dining room door behind her.

'Let go of me!' I yelled and yanked my arm from her grasp.

'Now that we are finally alone. I wanted to talk to you all night but you are always with someone.'

'What do you want Elena?' I barked at her. I never really like this child abusing woman at all.

'I… I wanted to ask you how things are with Christian?' She asked.

'Perfect! Why do you want to know?!'

'Because I know he has needs and you can't possibly satisfy him in the ways he likes.' She spoke walking up to me where I stood next to the fireplace.

'How dare you? What we do in the privacy of our own home is our business and nothing to do with you.' I spat at her and my pissed off meter is spiking again. It really doesn't take much to get a pregnant woman extremely angry. My legs begin to tingle and I was getting shooting pains at the bottom of my belly. I reached for the bottom of my pregnant belly. I have to keep my pose and just looked sternly at her.

'You really are just a gold digging whore aren't you?' She yelled at me.

'What did you just call me?!'

'You heard me. You are nothing more than a gold digging whore. Who wormed your way into Christian's live…' She was still spitting up the words at me when the dining room door burst open and Christian and Grace stood in the door. The shock on Elena's face, her face was as white as a sheet. I slowly sunk to my knees holding my baby-filled belly and starting to breathe hard. Grace and Christian raced over to me. Christian stood protectively between Elena and me facing her with his pissed off face. Grace was kneeling beside me looking me over and listening to Christian and Elena fight it out.

'What the fuck are you doing Elena? Harassing my wife in my parent's house? Calling my wife a whore, what the hell are you doing? I have told you over and over to leave us alone. It just made me reach my final decision that our friendship and business relationship are NOW at an END. You really went off the deep end this time.' He barked at her.

'She's not good enough for you Christian. You have needs.' Elena spoke looking down where Christian was attending to me following him as he stood up again. I was having shortness of breath because of the pain, I was still having.

'And you know what is good for me then?' Then he stared at her from where he was standing beside me. Grace was looking me over as her doctor skills kick in. Christian looking into her eyes but he was clearly pissed off at her.

'I…' she started but stopped, not knowing what to answer him.

'You thought we would be together like this in the end?' He asked her another question. She just nods her head and looked at the floor.

'We were done a long time ago. It would have never happened again, we both agreed on that. This what we have right here is also now completely over.' He stepped closer and were nose to nose with Elena.

'What…?' Grace were shocked wordless, at this news when she tried to speak. Grace looked from me to Christian and Elena. She jumped to her feet and yelled at both Christian and Elena. Ten minutes later Grace forced Elena from her house and to never come back here at all. Christian helped me up, from the floor and up the stairs. I walk up the first flight of stairs then Christian picked me up and carried me to his old childhood bedroom and lay me down, with Grace in tow behind us.

Christian and Grace attend to me and after a while, I started to feel a bit better. I fell asleep but now Christian and Grace are having such an intense conversation about what happened when he was still young and what he and Elena did back then. Grace was so mad and so shocked that it looked like she saw a ghost. A long while later she left the room. Christian just sighed two heavy sighs and came back looking after me where I was fast asleep. He brushed back my hair from my face. Running both his hands through his hair at the situation we are in.

I must have slept for only an hour or two when I was soft woken by soft kisses on my cheek. I apologize for not being able to join the party. Carrick all smiles for me just said that I really don't need to apologize for anything at all. We said our goodbye to everyone and head home, to our new house Christian, bought us. Elliot and Gia have done the renovations we asked them to do for us and we are really living happily at our new home, not that far from Grace and Carrick. Taylor and Sawyer drove us home. With Christian's help, he guide me into the house and up to our room.

He unzipped my knee length maternity dress for me in the back. I got my oversized sleeping shirt from the chest of drawers and pulled it over my head. He helped to get me into bed and Christian took off to go and work for a few hours. As for me, on the other hand, I was off in la-la land before he even left the room. Goodness, what a day? Not how I wanted to spend Christian's birthday at all.

I really feel so guilty, that if I weren't cornered by Mia and Kate tonight, that the evening would have ended way differently than it has. Grace was boiling mad at what I am sure must be the most shocking news any mother would ever receive. That your best friend and your son had a sexual relationship for almost six years under your nose and didn't even know about it. Yeah well, join the club I was not so happy when I got the news straight from the horse's mouth. Mr fifty shades, himself.

I woke up later and Christian was still not in bed and it was two in the morning. I went to the bathroom then set out to go look for him. He was in the study on the phone. Who on earth is he calling at this hour? The door was cracked a little and I could listen what he was saying. He was talking to Elena and he was fighting with her over the phone again. I never heard him this spitting mad before, I am afraid if he gets any madder something might happen to him. I was really worried about his heart.

So I knocked on the door and the conversation quite down. I knocked again and then pushed the door open. He looked up at me and his face looks like he is way older beyond his years and he looks even twice as tired with his day old beard. I strolled over to him and he was just ending his call with her, telling her that he will have his legal department call her with the documents she needs to sign to end their business relationship. He finally hung up and pulled me to sit on his lap. He rubbed his hand over our growing baby and looked up at me.

'I am so sorry for what happened tonight baby. Can you ever forgive me?'

'Christian nothing of this was your fault. If there is anyone who does feel extremely guilty is me. If Kate and Mia haven't cornered me in the dining room to talk none of this would have happened.'

'You think this is all your fault?' I just nod my head at him and stroking his day old beard.

'Ana what happened tonight with mom, Elena and me, it was bound to happen anyway if not tonight definitely in the near future, but now that it is out I do feel a little better. Although mother would not probably speak to me for the next few months out of anger, yet after that I think we can all move forward.'

'I guess. I just wish this day would have turned out a happier one it was your birthday after all and I wanted you to be happy and have a great day and then this happened.'

'Yes, that would have been nice but I also feel a little liberated that mom and by now dad also knows about this and I am really glad they do. By telling mom made me realize just how wrong it was from the start and I want to ask you forgiveness as well, you tried so many times to tell me just how wrong it was and how she molded me to be her well-trained lap dog.'

'You're forgiven. Well, I do however want to thank her just a tiny bit.'

'Why?'

'Because I also have the wonderful benefit of your perfect training Mr. Grey.' His face cracks into a mischievous smile the first one I have seen on his face all day, and it warms my heart to see it.

'Really, Mrs. Grey.'

'Yes really, but not at this precise time. You need to take a shower and get some sleep.'

'Yes, ma'am.' We got up, turned the lights off as we left the study and head to our room. He took a shower and I was already in bed waiting for him. He came out of the bathroom and just look at me. He had that look in his eye when he smiled and got in on his side of our bed. He pulled me closer to him and he kissed my neck and ear and then rubbed my belly when Blip kicked his hand and it made us laugh. It felt really nice to laugh a little with my fifty like this, as his son repeatedly kicked his hand. After that, we got engaged in a fantastic vanilla session and fell asleep really happy and in the protection of his arms. His protective arms that are really truly home to me.
