Sleep was not as sweet as I hoped it would be. I tossed and turned all night. Ugh!

I reach to feel for Christian, but he's not in bed…he's probably working. I tilt my head to look at the clock; it's only 7:35am. I don't feel like getting up, but my baby leaves me no choice. I have to get up to relieve myself.

I head back to my comfy bed and wrap up in my extremely soft bed comforter, but sleep doesn't find me.

I decide to have a chat with my little blip…the name seems appropriate after what Christian shared last night. Thinking about little blip brings a smile to my face…the baby, not the name.

I adjust myself so that I am on my side in the fetal position. I rub my belly in comforting circular motions as Christian has often done.

"Good morning little blip; I hope mommy didn't disturb your sleep too much, or at least I hope you had a better night's rest than me. I am trying very hard not to stress out too much because I know it affects you too. I'm sorry." I whisper while still rubbing my belly.

"Hopefully this uncertainty and stress will all be over soon, once I regain my entire memory…" I continue. "…hmmm, maybe mommy should have a day out at the spa, what do you think?" I feel a wave of discomfort in my belly.

"Okay, so you don't think that's a good idea. I suppose you're right. After all, I am on bed-rest." I sigh. "You know what, I've been thinking that maybe I should talk to someone…like a therapist…maybe even your daddy's therapist. That might help me get some stuff out of my head and help me deal with my frustration and stress in a different manner…don't you think?"

"Or maybe I can go on vacation…just get away from it all. Just you and me. Do you think your daddy will be okay with that?"

"No, I don't think he will." The sound of Christian's voice makes me jump.

"Holy shit, Christian! You scared the fuck out of me!" I shout.

"I hope not." He smirks, coming towards me with a tray of breakfast which consists of bacon, eggs, toast, and orange juice. It looks and smells delicious.

I sit up and rest my back on the headboard. Once Christian places the tray over me, he leans down and gives me a chaste kiss on the lips.

"Good morning baby. Sorry about scaring you." He smiles his shy smile. He sits on the bed next to me and lifts a fork of eggs to my mouth. "Open up," he says.

"I don't need you to feed me, Christian. I'm just on bed-rest, not paralyzed." I wave my arms for added effect.

Christian purses his lips, still holding the fork waiting for me to comply.

We have just entered a "stare off"…

I sigh in defeat and open my mouth.

"I know I don't need to feed you; I want to." Christians says once he's placed the first forkful of eggs in my mouth. "Now what's this about you going on vacation alone?"

"Mmmm…these eggs are delicious. Did you make them?"

"No, Ana, I don't cook. Well, I helped you make stir fry once before, but that's about the extent of my cooking abilities. And don't try to distract from my question."

"I'm not."

"Then why haven't you answered it yet." His calm demeanor is slipping.

"I'm eating." I take a piece of bacon off of the plate and take a bite.

He sighs. "Are you angry at me for last night…I mean, about what I told you? I wouldn't blame you if you were…I was a jerk to walk out on you and-"

I place my finger on his lips to stop him from talking.

"I'm not angry at you, Christian. I don't necessarily feel good about what you told me, but I'm not upset with you, I promise." I assure him. "I just thought maybe I needed some R&R away from Seattle…"

"Without me…" He whispers.

"I wasn't thinking about it like that. I just wanted time to myself where I could think…or not think…about what is going on in my life right now. Relieve some stress, you know…"

"I can help you relieve some stress." He winks and licks his lips, suggestively.

"I'm sure you can." I say, trying to hide my blush.

As soon as I finish my breakfast, Christian begins his sensual caressing in all the right places. I try not to think and just enjoy…and let him take care of me. He massages and kisses every inch of my body. He's being very careful as he slowly enters me and takes his time bringing me to two pleasurable orgasms before he finds his own release.

I finally made it through my week of bed-rest, and I'm on my way to see Dr. Greene. Christian went back to work yesterday; he had taken off two weeks to be home with me after I was released from the hospital. He promised me before he left this morning he would meet me at my appointment.

Sawyer and I arrive just before 2pm, which is my scheduled time. Christian and Taylor walk into the clinic exactly at 2pm as he doesn't like to wait in the lobby with the other patients. We are shown to a room as soon as Christian arrives…I have a feeling he's made his dislikes known to the staff.

Dr. Greene gives me the 'green light' to resume everyday activities…in the other words, no more bed-rest! I am so excited to finally be able to do something outside of the penthouse.

"Baby, I have to get back to work…" Christian says, looking at his watch. "…but I've arranged for you to get the spa treatment today. The entire establishment has been closed for you; Kate and Mia will be waiting for you when you arrive."

I let out a girly squeal and jump into Christian's arms, much to his surprise. I kiss him all over his face with 'Thank you' said between each kiss.

"I love you, too, baby." He chuckles.

Sawyer pulls up to Spa Noir, and I am so giddy I am practically jumping in my seat. Sawyer opens my door and almost knock him over in my rush to get out of the car. He laughs at my eagerness, but keeps close to me. I see a few people with their cell phones taking pictures while Sawyer tries to shield me from their view.

"Kate! Mia!" I pull them both into a hug.

"Ana!" They both scream.

"Christian is so sweet to do all of this for us." I say, releasing them from the hug and gesturing around the room with my hands.

"Yeah, he's the best big brother a girl could ever ask for!" Mia says.

"Hey…what about El?" Kate ask, jokingly, bumping Mia with her shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah…he's ok, too." Mia laughs.

We start off with our massages. Kate and Mia get hot stone massages, while I get a prenatal massage. We also received facials, manicures, pedicures and Brazilian waxes.

We're done in about three and a half hours, and I am starving. We decide to get dinner together after Christian called to let me know he won't be home until late this evening. Kate and Mia ride with Sawyer and I, while their CPOs follow us to the Mile High Club. Of course, Christian called ahead so they would have a private room ready for us.

As we are getting out of the car, I get a feeling that someone is watching us. I look around, searching to see if anyone looks suspicious, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary. I try to shake the feeling, not wanting to ruin our good time.

"Ana, are you okay?" Sawyer asks. I should have known he would have noticed my behavior.

"Yeah…I just felt this prickling on my neck and I got the feeling that we were being watched. I didn't see anyone though…no worries." I smile.

He nods, but takes his phone out and calls…I'm not sure who….maybe Taylor?

We head into the restaurant flanked by our CPOs.

Once we are seated, the waiter comes over almost immediately to take our drink orders and leaves us to go fill our drink orders, while we look over the dinner menu.

"How have you been doing Mia? I feel like I haven't seen you in ages." I say.

"I've been doing well. Ethan helps me a lot when I start feeling bad or anxious from the whole kidnapping ordeal." She says.

"Ethan?"

"Oh! I forgot! Ethan and I are dating!" Mia giggles.

"Kavanaugh?"

They both laugh at my facial expression, which makes me laugh, too.

"Of course Ana! What other Ethan do when know?" Mia jokes.

"Since when?" I ask, a little more excitedly.

"For about two months now. You're actually the reason we met in the first place." Mia smiles. "And I can't thank you enough. He's an amazing—"

"La la la la la la" Kate covers her ears.

"—I was going to say person, Kate! He's an amazing person! Not everyone has their mind in the gutter all the time like you, Kate." Mia sticks her tongue out at Kate.

Kate sticks her tongue out at Mia.

"Children…" I say.

"Sorry mom!" They say, simultaneously.

We burst out laughing. It feels so good to laugh this much. This is exactly what I needed.

A/N: Bonus! :)
