ONE WEEK LATER, CHRISTIANS POV

"Please!" I beg

"No" my wife replies but this time to drive the point on home she has her hands on her hips.

"Anastasia Grey! I am a grown assed man and if I tell you that I am fit and healthy enough to go back to work then I am going back to work and there is nothing you can do about it!" I cross my arms over my chest from my perch on our bed as I watch my wife try to make her stand by the closet door.

If I wasn't so mad right now I would find her sexy as hell. Who am I trying to kid, she is sexy as hell. Especially when she is trying to put me in my place.

Ellie and I were released from hospital seven days ago and yesterday, Ana allowed Ellie to start her first day of school on schedule because Ellie insisted that despite a little bit of soreness in her back and a little bit of irritation because her stitches itch, she felt fine. Me on the other hand am barley allowed to take a piss by myself!

Ana is insisting that I stay on bed rest even though I feel fine. Yes my shoulder is sore but I was shot for fucks sake, of course it's going to be sore. I am going out of my mind being cooped up in this house 24/7! I have been telling her I am going back to work for two days now but she insisted, just one more day Christian, so i gave in to make her happy and now she's telling me I am not allowed to go back to work until at least Monday. Me! Christian Grey! Has never been told in my life that I am not "allowed" to do something and I'll be damned if I start now! I've put my foot down and told her I am going back to work tomorrow and she needs to understand that I am the boss. I am the master of the house and The Lord of the manor. What I say goes! My word is law!

"Christian Grey! Don't make me swear on everything I hold dear in my life that you won't get fucked for a month Because I swear I will do it!"

"Yes dear" I say before she even finishes what she is saying. What a pussy I have become. Well more like pussy whipped. I know Ana means what she says when she threatens to cut me off.

About five years into our marriage we had a stupid argument over her cutting her hair. Looking back I admit I was being a compleat dick about it but when she walked in the house with her hair cut in a bob I exploded. I love her long hair and I was gutted that she had cut it all off but she said with two kids, a full time job and all the different galas and things we attended it was just to much for her to have to spend over an hour a day just on her hair. I was pouting and acting like a child and I stupidly said that it would be like fucking a man with a buzz cut when we had sex and she said "Then we won't have sex, problem solved"

For three weeks I tried to seduce her. I said I was sorry a million times, I would send her flowers and little gifts and at night I would try to nuzzle her neck to get her going but she just swatted me away. Finally I came to the end of my rope and in a childish fit I decided to see what she would be like it if I were to cut all my hair off so I got the electric hair trimmer and trimmed my hair all over Until it was about a centimetre long all over my head. I looked horrible. When Ana came back from work that night and saw what I had done she cried. Full out sobbed and kept running her hands over my now spiky head. We both apologised to each other and then had the best make up sex that any two people have ever had anywhere in the world. I even found a way for her to get pleasure from my spiky head when I would go down on her and then gently rub my head over her pussy.

Since that point on I have always given in when she threatens a sex ban because I went out of my mind not having access to Ana's tight hot body. I refused to jerk off like a teenage boy but Ana told me years later that during those three weeks she had pleasured herself with a vibrator that she had swiped from the playroom. I punished her for that which lead to the hottest scene we have ever done in the playroom.

Ana walks over to me, bringing me back to the here and now and she kisses me softly while running her hands through my hair.

"I sorry Christian. I just think about how I almost lost you and I get scared and I want you to be in my line of sight where I can look after you" she sits in my lap and nuzzles into my neck.

"I know that baby but I promise you I am ok. It will take more than a bullet to stop me Mrs Grey" I kiss her head and then Pull her down so she is laying on top of me. I run my fingers from the top of her spine to the bottom of her back which I know she loves me doing.

"Ana what are we going to do about Tyson Sawyer?" I ask her and her head shoots up.

"We are going to do NOTHING Christian Grey! Why would you even say that?"

"Anastasia, there has been a 16 years old walking hard on at our house every day since our 16 year old daughter got out of the hospital and I have caught them not once, not twice but three times making out"

"Oh please! Yes the first time I admit they were making out but the second and third it was just a peck on the lips"

"Exactly! On the lips. I thought I had another 6 or 7 years before I had to deal with horny teenage boys" I pout and she laughs and kisses my lips softly.

"We just need to come up with some rules for her. Now that she is no longer tethered to that ankle monitor we need to give her an actual curfew."

"Ok well curfew on school nights 7pm and on Friday and Saturdays 8pm" I say. This seems like a suitable time for a 16 year old but Ana just starts laughing at me.

"You are such an old man Christian! I was thinking more like 9pm on a school night and 10:30 on Friday and Saturdays and if she is good and keeps to the rules we extend that to 11pm"

"11pm? Is that a joke? Ana do you understand the type of people who roam the streets at 11pm? Drunks, druggies, rapist, murders, human traffickers, the list goes on and on"

"Christian, be serious, she is a smart girl, we have known Tyson since he was a toddler and where Ellie goes, Ryan goes. She knows that she has to have a CPO at all times and after this week she is fully in board with that" she takes a big breath and then gently cups my face.

"Are you ever going to tell me what happened to Hammond?" She asks gently and I freeze.

"You don't need the details in your head Ana. Just know that he will never be a problem in our lives again, or anyone's lives for that matter" I tells her and she gives me a small nod.

She doesn't need to know that ten minutes after I was taken to the hospital in the ambulance, Taylor spotted Hammond in his car. He followed him and an hour later when Hammond pulled into a drive through coffee house, Taylor pounced. He hog tied Hammond and threw him into the back of the SUV. Three hours later Taylor handed him over to a group of men that used to be in the marines with him. Men of honour and integrity. Men who despise would be child rapist. They took him deep into the desert in Arizona and...well he was alive when they left him but by now, a week later, he's dead. He didn't die by any of their hands but they made sure that Mother Nature would end his sad pathetic life.

Twelve hours and three rounds of sex later I am back where I belong. In my chair, in my office, in my building. I had to promise Ana over and over again that if my shoulder started playing up that I would go home. So far today she has come up to check on me 9 times. Grey Publishing is housed only two floors below me so it only takes a minute or two for us to go to each other's office.

It's almost half three and I am waiting next to Andreas desk fro Ellie to arrive. She was a little bummed out that even though she no longer has a ankle tag I am still making her do the 152 hours of community work that she needed to compleat in New York. Originally I was going to have her copy our paper files onto flash drives but now I'm rethinking it. Copying the files is mind numbing work and Ellie has more to offer than that. I am going to have her be Andreas assistant. She can man the phones, organise my day planner and maybe even sit in on a few meetings. I know that Ellie wants to be an architect one day but she also said that what I do is fascinating so I want to show her the ropes and just so she has options she will be working a little with Ana and even Elliott.

The elevator pings and Ellie walks out with Ryan in tow. She is wearing a pair of black pants and a long sleeve black top and a pair black sneakers. Usually I don't allow sneakers in the building but I know that wearing heels at the minute would hurt her back.

"Hey" she greets me with a smile and I pull her into a hug and kiss her head.

"Hey pumpkin" she blushes when I use my new pet name for her. It just came out of my mouth a few days ago and I know she likes it. I have pet names for all my children. Teddy is sport, Phoebe is princess, Bella is Bug and now Ellie is Pumpkin.

"Andrea I would like you to meet my daughter Ellie, El this is the legend that is Andrea Murphy, Grey House would crumble without her" I joke and Andrea laughs.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss Grey. Your father has told me a lot about you"

"Don't believe all of it. I have alibis for most" Ellie jokes.

I explain to Ellie that she will be helping Andrea out and she settles herself into the desk beside my door. Andrea will train her but before she gets too In to it, I take Ellie In the office so she can sign her contract. It's not a real contract because she is too young but it does state that if she turns up on time each day and does a good job that I will give her $1000 a week. I know that is a lot for a 16 year old but I know that Ellie is independent and likes to buy her own stuff. I will be getting her a car but Ana and I decided that it will be her Christmas present so the money she makes here she can save or I will I covets it for her.

I walk over to my desk where her contact is all set out but Ellie is frozen by the door way.

"What's wrong?" I ask her.

"You have a huge assed picture of me on your wall!" She gasps.

On the wall to the left of the door I have six big black and white pictures. One of picture Jose took of Ana, one of us on our wedding day, one of teddy, one of Phoebe, one of Bella and one of Ellie. I was the one who took the picture of her but she doesn't know the camera was on her. I took it the day after she came to live with us. She was on the sofa with Bella watching a movie and she laughed about something and I caught the perfect shot. I also have one of the two of us together that Ana took the morning she found Ellie and I asleep on the sofa in the music room but that one is on my desk in my study at home.

"Of course I have a photo of you. Ana has one on her wall downstairs too" I say and she smiles.

She turns to me and looks at me with a funny look on her face. She starts wringing her hands which I now know means she is nervous.

"Um...I know this Is a few weeks to late but I wanted to thank you" she says softly and I frown.

"Thank me for what?"

"Lots of things. Bringing me to Seattle, giving me a home and a family, saving me from Elena...but mostly...thank you for being my dad" she tears up and I walk to her and wrap my arms around her. She cries into my shirt and I cry along with her because I know that this is the moment. She has finally accepted me as her father.

"I love you Ella Grey, and I will spend the rest of my life being the father that you deserved from the moment you were born"

"I love you to dad"

TWO YEARS LATER. ANAS POV.

"Okay kiddo I think that is the last of it" I say as I place the last box on Ellie's new bed.

We are in North Carolina moving Ellie into her new apartment just off the campus of Duke University. Over the last two years she has worked her ass off and despite her record she was offered full ride scholarships to not only Duke but Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown and NYU. Every single college she applied to she was accepted into and after weeks of thinking and going back and forth she decided on Duke. She says it's because they have a great architecture course but she doesn't fool anyone. It's not a coincidence that Tyson is also going to be attending Duke and he has an apartment in the same building as Ellie.

They have dated ever since the day in the hospital when Ellie woke up and even though most of us thought it would just be a teenage fling, they have stood the test of time. They are so cute together and he treats her like a queen. The look of love the boy wears for our girl is insane. It took Christian weeks and weeks to be on board with her dating but when he saw that Tyson was a true gentleman with her, he finally just let it go.

The last two years have been bliss for our family and it's going to kill me not seeing our oldest daughter every day. Ellie and I have a true bond and we couldn't be more closer if she was my blood. We hang out all the time or go to the spa or get our nails done or just kick back and hang at home with Phoebe and Bella.

Phoebe has just turned 13 and she shadows her big sister everywhere so it is going to be hard for her now that Ellie won't be living at home. I have never seen two sister as close as those two. They do everything together. Ellie would even take her on some of her dates with Tyson if they were just going to hang at the mall or something.

After everything that happened with Elena, Phoebe had nightmares and every single night when I would go to wake her up, Ellie beat me to it. She would hold and rock her little sister until she had calmed down and little by little the nightmares went away.

Mia wanted to be here today but she is not allowed to fly seeing as she is 7 months pregnant. She married Matthew last year after he moved to Seattle to be closer to Olivia. They were just friends to start with but then it went to friends with benefits and it snowballed from there. Christian still isn't comfortable with Mia being married to a former Dom who owns half the sex clubs in the country but he has never asked her outright if she is in the lifestyle or not. I asked her though because not knowing was driving me insane. They are not full out Dom/sub but they do play a little. He has never raised anything more than a flogger and the palm of his hand to her skin and Mia really enjoys it but Christian doesn't need to know that.

I look across the room when I hear my baby babble and I smile when I see Teddy with Nicky in his arms. Nicholas Christian Grey is now 18 months old and he really is the cherry on our family cake. We all spoil him but none more than Teddy. He was so stoked to have a little brother that he does everything for him. When he was born he was the first to change his diaper, the first to feed him with a bottle, he taught him how to walk and even talk. When Teddy is around Nicky doesn't even know the rest of us are in the room. His first word was EdEd and Christian couldn't be more pleased that he has two boys who are as close as the three girls.

Speaking of my husband I have never seen him this quite. Over the last two years Ellie truly has become a daddies girl. Growing up she had to be the tough girl but after coming to live with us she could be herself and underneath the hostile badass exterior was a girly girl who loves nothing more that to get a mani pedi with Myself, Mia and Andy.

Andy and Sawyer, now there is a shocking story. They dated for a few months and then had a stupid argument over something and they broke up. One day a month later Ellie went to grab a coffee with her and then she phoned me screaming on the phone about blood and ambulances. I jumped in the SUV and Luke drove me and Christian to the hospital and when we got there we were in for the shock of our lives.

Andy was in full blown labor.

She didn't have a clue that she was pregnant as she hadn't gain any weight and didn't have a bump or anything. When Luke saw her he took control and held her hand as she delivered a beautiful little girl. She was only three pounds because they later discovered that she was 3 months premature. She had to stay in the hospital for weeks after she was born but during that time Luke proposed and Andy accepted. They were married in the hospital chapel two days later and the only people in attendance were Christian, myself, Gail and Taylor, Ellie and Tyson who served as best man and maid of honour.

Their little girl is named Jennifer Ella Sawyer and Ellie cried for three days straight when Andy asked her to be god mother to the baby. We all joke that one day Nicky and Jennifer will get married but only time will tell.

"Okay...that's the lot of it" Ellie says and she takes Nicky out of Teddy's hands and kisses his little face about twenty times.

"I'm going to miss you little man, be a good boy ok?" She tells him.

"Otay. Lub you Lelly" he says and wraps his little arm around her neck and gives her a sloppy kiss. She hands him back to Teddy and then envelops both her brothers in her arms.

"Make sure you Skype and call me all the time...I'll miss you big sister" Teddy says and tears fall from Ellie's eyes.

"I'll miss you too ill bro and I'll call you all the time I promise" she hugs him tight and then Teddy leaves the apartment with Nicky in his arms and makes his way to the car.

Ellie turns to Phoebe and Bella and she scoops down and wraps her arms around both of them.

"I'll call and Skype all the time and I'll be back for thanksgiving. It's up to you two now...give daddy hell" she whispers the last part making the girls giggle.

"I love you both so much and if you need me I'm just a phone call away ok?"

"Okay El. I love you big sister" Phoebe says and she kisses Ellie on the cheek.

"I love you too Pheebs and you too squirt, make sure you look after Champ for me ok"

"Ok Ellie I will, I promise" Bella says and she kisses her sister and gives her a hug before walking out with Phoebe. It almost broke Ellie to leave Champ behind but with her classes it won't be fair to keep Champ cooped up all day in her apartment.

She turns to me with tears in her eyes and I walk to her and hug her tight.

"I'm so so proud of you Ellie. You are an amazing young woman who I am honoured to call my daughter and I love you so so much" I tell her while trying not to cry.

"I love you too...mom" she says and I gasp. She has never called me mom before and I never pushed her on the subject because I knew in my heart that one day she would accept me as not a replacement mother, because I can never replace Lelia, but as a second mother. I pull back and hold her face in my hands.

"Be good okay. Keep the wild parties to a minimum, try not to drink alcohol in excess and don't forget" I lean in and whisper so Christian doesn't hear "your shot is due in two weeks and then every twelve weeks after that and just as an extra precaution, when it's your fertile time, use condoms" I say and she blushes like mad.

She came to me 2 months ago and told me that she thought "it" was going to happen with Tyson. I would have liked for her to wait until she was in college at least but she was 18 and had been dating Tyson for over a year before that so I didn't judge her. I took her to Dr Green and we switched her birth control from the pill to the shot. Christian has no idea that she is sexually active and I have no intention of telling him. Ever.

"I'll be safe I promise" she says and she hugs me again. I squeeze her hand and finish my goodbye before I walk over to my silent husband and kiss him softly. I walk out the door taking one last look at my daughter and I smile.

She made it.

ELLIES POV

I watch as Ana walks out the door leaving me alone with my father. I look at him and give him a small smile before I burst In to tears. He strides over to me and picks me up before sitting down on the sofa with me in his arms. I cling to his shirt and I cry even harder when I feel his tears hitting my head.

"I'm...I'm...going to miss you so much Daddy" I sob and he hands me his handkerchief.

"I'm going to miss you too baby, hey" he tips my chin up with his finger "no more tears ok? This is a happy day. I can't tell you how proud I am of you Ellie. You have turned into an amazing young woman and I am elated that I get to call you my daughter. I bought you a little something, well, two little something's but first I need you to make me some promises young lady" I pull back and smile at him. I know what the first present is. Phoebe let slip three days ago. It's an Audi Q7 in cherry red.

"Okay what do I have to promise?" He digs in his jacket and pulls out a small black box.

"I know you know that we got you a car and it will be shipped here tomorrow but you have to promise me that you will stick to the speed limits and drive carefully. I will admit that the car has a tracker and if you go over the speed limit I get a text straight to my phone so you have been warned. If I get a text, I get your keys, understood?"

"Yes dad" I roll my eyes and he growls playfully which makes me laugh. He hands me the box but keeps his finger on it.

"You have that look in your eye"

"What look?" I ask

"The look that your sister opened her mouth and told you what type of car we got you...too bad I fed her false information" he smirks and my heart skips. If I don't have an Audi, what do I have? I take the box from him. When I lift the lid I almost faint.

"You...you...you...got...me a...a...ASTON MARTIN! OH MY GOD! Thank you thank you thank you!" I fling my arms around his neck and kiss his cheek.

"Of course I got you an Aston. You have made enough hints these last few years"

"Yeah but I didn't think you would get me one. This is great. Thank you" I smile and he kisses my forehead.

"This one I had made and I used the words of a song that I heard a few days after I found out about you" he hands me a small red box and I open it to find a beautiful necklace. It looks like white gold and it has a pendent in the shape of a guitar. The front is decorated by tiny diamonds and on the back there is an inscription that reads.

Let me tell you a secret about a father's love,
A secret that my daddy said was just between us."
He said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then.
It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen."

I get a lump in my throat and I silently take it out the box and hold my hair back for him to be able to place it around my neck.

"I love it, thank you"

"I mean every word. I may sometimes be pissed at you but I will always love you Ella Grey, no matter what"

"I love you too dad" he cuddles me in and we sit in silence for a few minutes before he stands. I know that the jet has a take off slot and they can't miss it. He walks to the door and then gently cups my face in his hand.

"I expect a call every single day Miss Grey. Let your old man know that you are safe and sound"

"I will dad I promise" I hug him one more time and watch him walk away toward the elevator. I run over to the window and watch as he stops outside the SUV doors and looks back up at me. He waves his hand and I salut him which makes him laugh and shake his head. I watch as the SUV drives away down the road when I feel two strong arms wrap around my middle.

"You ok baby?" Tyson asks me as he kisses my neck.

"Yeah I'm ok...it just feels weird. I'm so excited about college and starting a new chapter in my life but on the other hand, I'm sad that I am living away from my family" I sigh

"I know baby but do you want to know the one upside of our family's being on the other side of the country?" He asks while slowly undoing the buttons of my shirt.

"What's that?" I breath heavily.

"No more sneaking away to boat houses, or pretending we are walking the dogs, or waiting until everyone is asleep and sneaking me up to your room under the cover of darkness...just you...me...and this big assed apartment" he says and I laugh. There was no way on earth that our parents would let us move in together but what they don't know is Tyson has already sub let his apartment and he will be living here with me In secret.

"I suppose there are some upsides Mr Sawyer"

"Race you to the bedroom" he says but I start running leaving him for dust. He catches me just before I hit the bed. He picks me up and throws me down making me laugh. He crawls on top of me and smiles down.

"Are you happy Ellie?" He asks me seriously.

"I've never been this happy in my entire life. I have a boyfriend who I love like no other and I am part of the best family a girl could ask for. Life is perfect"

And it is.

It truly is

THE END.
