Baby is here!

A/N: Thanks for your patience while I took a short break from the story. I have had a really busy month. Enjoy!

Time Jump!

Ana was in her nesting phase of her pregnancy. She had organized all the cabinets and the drawers in the whole house and had bought enough diapers, wipes, and baby paraphernalia for three babies! She was feeling very good and had energy spurts and was also very frisky! Christian loved it and was ready to make love to his wife whenever she wanted, he thought they were on their honeymoon again!

Baby watch had started in Seattle and Ana and Christian could not go anywhere without the paparazzi stalking them. She was off on official maternity leave and left Kate in charge of the office. There were polls around town about when the baby would be born and if it was a boy or girl; they had managed to keep that secret! And if the baby would have red hair or not. Ray Steele had been stalked by the paparazzi also because it was known he was Ana's dad and they wanted every possible angle covered for the big event.

Ray and Stella were still dating and Ray was going to ask her to marry him. He had talked to Stella's dad; he was a very unhappy man who wanted to be miserable just for the sake of being miserable! Ray got his blessing to marry Stella. He said that Ray could have her that nobody else wanted her! Ray decided then that he would limit his interaction with him. He would never tell Stella or anyone else what her dad said to him either!

Ray had picked up her ring from the jewelers and was trying to figure out the best way to propose when Ana called him and told him they were headed to the hospital! The baby was coming! He raced out of his office and jumped in his car not even noticing the two cars following him. He drove to the hospital as fast as he could and parked and ran to the entrance. There were already paps there waiting for him. Someone must have alerted the media.

"Mr. Steele, is your daughter in labor? What is she having? Are you going to be in the delivery room with her?" Ray glared at the reporter.

"No comment." Ray pushed past the reporter and went inside. Drew Reynolds was coming out of the elevator and met him in the lobby. "Drew, how is Ana?" Ray said frantically. Drew motioned for him to get back in the elevator with him.

"Sir, she is doing fine. Her water broke an hour ago and her contractions were 10 minutes apart. Mr. Grey wanted to come to the hospital this morning when her contractions started but Mrs. Grey said she would be more comfortable at home until closer to time to give birth." They rode the rest of the way up the elevator in silence. They got off on the labor and delivery floor. There were guards stationed outside the double doors.

"I am here to see my daughter Ana Grey. She called me and said she is in labor." Ray explained to one of the guards. He went to get his ID out of his wallet and Sawyer saw them through the door and unlocked the door. "Thank you Sawyer. How is Ana?" He asked. "Has she had the baby yet?"

"Not yet sir, but it won't be much longer." Sawyer led them to Ana's room and they greeted Taylor who was standing outside. "Are the guards necessary?" Ray asked. "Surely, no one will try to break in to Ana's room…" Taylor grimaced.

"Sir, there have already been kidnapping threats against young Mr. Grey." Ray paled. "We have guards stationed at every exit and five undercover cops in the hospital. "No one will get to the baby, I can assure you." Ray nodded, he couldn't speak for the lump in his throat.

He knocked on the door and heard Ana's muffled come in. "Hey baby girl. How's it going?" Ray asked and walked over to the bed and leaned over and kissed his daughter on the forehead. She squeezed his hand as another contraction came. "How are you holding up son?" Ray asked Christian kindly. His hair was a mess! He had been pulling on it and he was pale and a little shaky.

"Better when this is over." Christian said, shaking hands with Ray. "My mom and dad are on their way. "The contractions are coming every two minutes now, Ana should be ready to push soon." Ray turned red.

"I will be out in the hall with the security baby girl. Call me if you need me. Oh, and I got a ring for Stella." He whipped it out of his pocked and opened the box to show to Ana and Christian. "Do you think she will like this?" He asked. Ana laughed then sucked in a breath when she had another contraction. They waited until it passed. She had opted for natural childbirth with no drugs. She even had Christian take birthing classes with her!

"She will love it dad. I am sure she will say yes. She loves you." Ana had tears in her eyes. Everything made her cry right now. She would be glad when the baby came out and her hormones weren't so out of whack.

"Okay, I will step out. Baby girl, you can do this. I am so proud of you. So hurry up and make me a grandpa! I can't wait to see my grandson!" He squeezed Ana's hand again and walked out of the room. A nurse walked in and checked Ana to see if she was dilated to 10 yet. She was!

"Things will speed up now. I will page the doctor and you are going to want to push. Wait until the doctor gets here. Mr. Grey, you need to put on the set of scrubs we provided for you and wash your hands with the special soap. There is a mask for you to wear when it's time for the delivery. We will have a stool for you to sit on and you need to stay on it so you don't faint and fall in the floor." Christian nodded then jumped up to get into the scrubs. He ran to the bathroom to change.

"Mrs. Grey, we are going to start prepping you for the delivery. It looks like it will be anytime now." The doctor said as she walked in and washed her hands then sat on the stool to check on Ana. Her special team of doctors and nurses were working around the room to get ready for the birth. Christian came out and sat down on the stool and leaned over and kissed Ana on the cheek.

"Just a few more minutes Ana and we can meet our baby boy." He said with tears in his eyes. Ana was getting into position to push the baby out.

"One more big push Mrs. Grey, that is great!" The doctor said and the baby came out. Christian got to cut the umbilical cord and saw a shock of dark red hair! "Baby boy Grey looks good!" He cried out at being out of the womb. "Just a few more pushes to get the placenta Mrs. Grey and you can hold your baby."

The baby was taken to the corner of the room to be weighed, measured and given the Apgar test. "Apgar 9." It was recorded on his chart. He had his footprints taken and was cleaned up and checked out by the pediatrician in the room. A nurse came over to the Greys with the baby. "Here's your son."

He was placed on Ana's tummy and they looked down in awe! He looked up at them and yawned really big. He had grey eyes and dark red hair that was a mess just like his dad's! His feet were big and he was waving his fists around. Christian puffed up in pride. His son looked just like him! He was amazed and the tears ran down his face. Ana reached up and wiped a tear away. He ran his finger down his son's small arm. He couldn't stop looking at him.

"Hello there Theodore. We are so happy to meet you." Ana whispered as she raised him up and kissed his head and tried to smooth down his hair. "Do you want to hold him Christian?" She asked. Christian picked him up and he fit in his hands! He was so small!

"I'm your daddy." He kissed his son's forehead and cuddled him close. "Thank you Ana. He's perfect." He said as more tears fell down his face. They were in their own little world and didn't notice the hustle and bustle going on around them.

"We need to take him to the nursery for blood tests. We will bring him back in a few minutes." The pediatrician said to the new parents.

"His bodyguard will go with him. He's not to be left alone." Christian said. Ana interrupted him.

"You go with him Christian. I don't want him out of your sight." Ana said fearfully. He kissed her on the lips and followed their son out of the room.

"Sawyer, don't let anyone in this room, I am going with my son. Drew follow me." Sawyer tried to peek at the baby but he was covered up when he was brought out. Ray was in the waiting room with the rest of the family. "They are working on Ana and she will be sent to a private room soon. She doesn't want anyone in there while they are finishing up." Sawyer nodded. "Taylor, make sure you have an NDA from everyone who was in the room during the delivery and make sure no one took pictures!" That was his fear that someone took pictures of Ana unknowingly while she was half naked.

Ana and baby were in the private suite of the maternity floor and security was tight. The hospital was on lockdown. You would think Kate Middleton was there! Baby Grey made headline news around the world! Christian was so glad it was over! Ana had a routine pregnancy and birth with no complications and they would be able to go home in two days.

The family came in and Ray was the first to hold Theodore after Ana and Christian. He was in love! Teddy Grey was a beautiful baby and he was so choked up he could hardly speak. "Baby girl, he is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. You did great!"

Baby Theodore was passed around and cuddled and awed over by the whole family. Ana and Christian looked at their family as they fawned over their son. Grace cried and cooed at her grandson. Carrick even took his turn holding his new grandson. Kate came in and hugged Ana and Christian and then took the baby from Elliott. "I need to hold my godson. Give him to me."

He started to fuss after a few minutes and root around. "Eh, Ana, I think he needs you." Kate said blushing. She didn't want any part of breastfeeding. She handed the baby to Ana.

"Thank you all for coming. We need some privacy now." Christian said firmly. He was ready for some alone time with his wife and son. Everyone left shortly afterwards and he helped Ana to get the baby to latch onto her breast. He smiled in satisfaction as he watched his son nurse from his wife's breast. "This has been the best day ever!" He kissed Ana softly and rubbed his son's soft head. "I love you so much Ana. You made me so happy today. I am so proud."

He got up on the bed with Ana and Theodore and cuddled his family close. "I wouldn't trade this life for all the money in the world."
