Our Flawless couple are back, this story is about them growing as a family and finding the balance between work, their children and their need for each other. It will not be as long as Flawless but my story's seem to take on a life of their own and grow so who knows how long it will be.

I laughed as I watched my husband chase our daughter down the beach, our naked daughter that is. If Teddy was the one who we struggled to keep his shoes on then with Phoebe it was her clothes.
At two she is a precocious little girl, ahead of Teddy when he was her age. They are very close, even though she drives him mad at times. She completely has her daddy wrapped around her tiny finger, the same as Teddy has with me. I wouldn't swap either of them for the world though, the same goes for the little one growing inside me at the moment.
Christian and I had decided we had our son and daughter and we were happy with just the two children, but life had other plans and blessed us with another. I am only just three months but running around after a two and a four and a half year old can really zap my energy. He said he loves seeing me pregnant with his child knowing our love had again, created something beautiful.
This time though, I think we are having a boy again as the morning sickness hasn't appeared like with Teddy. With Phoebe, boy was I ill, morning sickness until I was 6 months, being hospitalized twice because of dehydration. She certainly let us know she was there, more so than Teddy ever did.
We had been back to Meridian many times over the past few years, just enjoying the peace it brings us. Being able to enjoy the beach especially as the children grew older, it was safe for them to play here without someone trying to take their photo or disturbing us. It had also become a bit of a family tradition to come here for birthdays as well, with Teddy's being march and Phoebe being October the weather although warm was a lot cooler then Christian's or mine.
We had just said goodbye to our family who had left two days ago as they came to celebrate Phoebe's birthday so it was just the four of us here now as well as our security.
"Here you go mommy" Christian said kissing my lips before giving me back our daughter who grumpily let me put her swim suit on followed by her sun hat.
"There you go baby girl you can go and play again now" she sat down beside me playing in the sand as if being told she couldn't run around naked had ruined all her fun. Normally we don't mind for a bit but today had been the warmest day since we arrived on the island and I didn't want her to burn.
"Baby" she said resting her head on my stomach, what little there is at the moment. I don't think the baby that I am carrying and the one she thinks she will be getting are the same thing. She won't be able to push my baby around in her toy pram so I'm not sure she is going to be happy when they arrive.
Teddy was two when we told him about Phoebe, he kept saying present and patting my stomach. We had told him the month after his birthday so he though she was his to open, he soon went running when he smelt her first dirty diaper.
"Hungry" she said wanting lunch. I held her hand walking into the house and put her into her chair. I washed and cut up some carrot that she quickly chomped away on.
The first time Teddy had said he was hungry to Christian, he went into a panic. Being hungry when he a little boy that is the one thing he never wanted his children to feel and even though Teddy was just waking up from his nap and wanting a snack he felt he had to feed him quickly so he didn't feel the hunger he once had.
"Feed me mommy" Teddy stomped into the kitchen. His latest phase was monsters and you could hear him throughout the house.
I passed him a carrot stick which he just looked at before looking to me, repeating "feed me mommy" again.
"Its carrot or you will have to wait until the pasta is done. Is the monsters tummy hungry" I said grabbing him and tickling his stomach earning the laugh that I love.
He took the carrot from me crunching down on it before taking his monster book off the shelf in the living room and bringing it back to the table.
It is nice to relax just the four and a bit of us without rushing off to work. I still work only a Monday morning where Phoebe goes into work with her daddy. Teddy is in preschool in the morning for two days a week. It is enough as I miss them when they are not with me as we are usually joined at the hip. There is now a crèche at Grey House which is a godsend for the staff that work there. Our daughter has only been in their once so far when I had my Monday meeting and Christian had a conference call. She didn't last long there as her daddy had put the call on hold before going to the crèche, picking her up and taking her back to his office where he continued the call while she sat on his knee. Now what ever he had on a Monday morning is usually a loud affair or is conducted while he has a tea party with his daughter.
Christian has been working hard at work to finalise a deal to buy a British telecoms company to expand the GEH branch over there. With the time zones there is usually some teleconference call in the evening. He is constantly apologising when he has to work in the evening but I told him he is building a future for his children.
"Daddy" Phoebe shouted as he came in the room freshly showered. He kissed her biting down on the new carrot stick in her hand as she giggled.
"Sorry I had sand in places I just don't want it to be" he said kissing me and taking the salad I had just put together on the table.
"Leave me some cucumber will you little miss" I said laughing.
Last time I did cucumber I turned around to see Phoebe with slices over her eyes saying she was aunt Mia.
I drained the pasta, putting the sauce on the top and placing it on the table where Christian put portions on the children's plates.
Teddy was straight in, he had his daddy's appetite. I turned to Phoebe smiling, she had two pieces of cucumber in her little hand and when I looked she put them in her mouth, sneaky little madam. I am sure she has been here before as she is way too advanced for her age. If I could say which of our children would be running GEH when they are older I would say it is Phoebe, Teddy had inherited my love of books.
"Phoebe after you have had your nap, I will cut you some fresh cucumber up and you can put it on your eyes just like aunt Mia ok" she shook her head.
"Me not tired" she said yawning but started eating her lunch slowly.
"No I'm sure not."
Christian cleaned the dishes while I took the children to wash up and try to get Phoebe down for a nap. Running up and down the beach all morning had worn her little legs out and even though she wanted her cucumber I knew it wouldn't be long before she was asleep.
"Clean momma" Teddy said showing me his hands and clean face. I kissed his forehead as he ran off to find his dad.
"Are you tired baby girl" I asked her as she shook her head while she yawned again and rubbed her eyes.
"I'm tired will you come and lie with me for a minute" she nodded as we headed to her bedroom.
We climbed onto the top of her bed, it was too warm to get under the cover as she lay beside me while I stroked the hair from her face.
"Momma kiss" a pink bear was suddenly in front of my face as I kissed its head.
"Phoebe kiss" leaning down I kissed my baby girl before putting my head on the pillow.
I could easily just closed my eyes and fall asleep but I knew I wouldn't sleep tonight. I looked over to the door seeing movement as my husband stood watching us with a smile on his face.
He walked over holding his hand out to me to help me up as we turned to hear the little snores of our daughter.
"Teddy is with Luke" he said taking my hand and led me to our bedroom.
"I'm not going to ask you to sleep because I know what you are like but I wanted to lie with you." I raised my eyebrow to him.
"I mean it, I want to lie with you now. I will lie in you tonight."
We climbed on our bed, laying face to face as he brushed the hair from my cheek, I smiled as I had just done the same thing to our daughter.
"What is is Christian" I asked him.
"I'm glad we came away as a family, I feel like work is pulling me away at the moment and I don't like it one bit."
"I know you are busy, your company is evolving all the time and GEH is leading the field in new technology available to the market."
"I know Ana, but things will be changing soon. We have been lucky that if I have to go abroad for business you can all go with me but Teddy is getting to the age when he will be starting school soon and there is no way I am putting my company before his education."
"Tell me what else is really bothering you Christian I can see there is something more."
"God woman you can read me like a book" he sighed.
"Well I should hope so we have been married long enough and I am an editor" I laughed as he poked my side
"The night before we left and I came home late I went into Phoebe's room and she was still awake. She said miss daddy and put her arms up to me. I have never missed a dinner before Ana I feel so guilty that I missed that one."
"Do you remember when Teddy was born and you went back to work, we said you had to find the balance between home and work then. It is no different now. You need an additional COO now that Ros has gone on maternity leave, you have gone back to taking all the load on yourself again. Delegate. I will come in and do it if I have to, we will have a two year old running around the office but work will be more fun."
"Mmm you in my office has possibility's Mrs Grey" he said kissing my lips before moving to my neck. "One problem though you are pregnant again and I don't want you stressing out."
"And why am I pregnant again Christian."
"Because I fucked you hard until you screamed my name and I came inside you" he carefully brought me underneath him sucking on my neck now.
Juggling two children with our constant need to make love to each other has had its challenges sometime but we always make time for each other. When they were little it was harder but now with them being older and having their bedtimes, unless one is ill our evenings are ours.
"Christian please don't start something we can't finished because if you leave me hanging by pushing your cock against me I am going to go crazy" I said as he pushed himself against me again.
"I would never leave you hanging Ana you know that" he pulled my shorts down checking the door was locked and curtains were closed.
He leaned down licking my pussy as I arched off the bed. His finger entered me before another joined it as my moans grew louder. When I was about to cum he pulled his fingers out licking them, driving me crazy. He crawled up my body kissing my lips as I unbuttoned his shorts pushing them down his legs with my feet.
"Fuck me Christian."
He pushed inside me as his lips crashed to mine. I needed this and I know he needed it too. He thrust in and out of me as my orgasm started to build. Reaching down he rubbed my clit as I fell over the edge taking him with me while we called each other's names.
He pulled out of me moving on his side as he pulled me into his arms.
"I love you baby" he said kissing my lips.
"I love you too Christian, I'm shattered now" I laughed.
We dressed again as I laughed at Christian who hadn't even gotten his shorts off as they were around his ankles. We just lay talking until we heard ours sons voice on the beach in front of our villa. He was kicking a ball to Luke, when he did it though he was kicking more sand than ball.
"Come on Ana, we had better wake our little girl up otherwise we wouldn't get any sleep tonight."
He helped me stand before he left the room to go and sort Phoebe out. I opened the bifold doors to the beach seeing my son look my way.
"Momma" he said running to me and hugging my legs nearly knocking me over.
"Thank you Luke, have you heard anything from Sam or Ryan" I asked him.
"Yes Ryan called about 30 minutes ago, a little boy. 7lb. Thomas Matthew Ryan."
"That's fantastic news Luke, if you speak to them before I do give them my love" I said before taking Teddy's hand and walking into the house.
Its amazing how much has changed since I had married Christian five years ago. Our love for each other grows all the time. With Teddy and Phoebe the family grew and then a surprise baby for Kate and Elliot, I don't know who was in shock more. The shock quickly wore off at their first scan and they embraced the pregnancy and the little girl that was born. To say Ava is a mini Kate is an understatement, right down to the bossy personality.
My poor boy is usually on the receiving end but has been told your can't hit girls to which he replied does a poke, kick or trip count just to shut her up.
"We have a new member of the family" I said to Christian excitedly when I reached the kitchen as he was making juice for the children.
"I see Miss Phoebe Rose Grey is at the salon" I said laughing as my daughter is sat in her chair with her cucumber over her eyes.
"You were saying Ana who is the new addition, my brother hasn't knocked Kate up again has he, I don't think Teddy could take another of Kate's mini me."
Teddy was shaking his head with a look of horror on his face.
"Don't worry Teddy, Ryan and Sam have had a little boy."
"A boy, yes" Teddy said fist pumping the air. He spends too much time with his uncle, "too many bossy girls about."
"I'm a girl and I'm not bossy, shut it Grey" I said turning to Christian before turning back to Teddy.
"No momma you not bossy, your momma" he kissed my cheek before eating his snack Christian had put in front of him.
Phoebe and I spent the next hour in my bedroom. She got out her make up brushes as she pretended to put make up on my face while I did the same to her.
"Nail" she said searching her bag. Mia had made a bag for her with hair brushes, combs. Make up brushes, Hair clips and also she found children's nail varnish. It is water basically which is good because when she puts it on me there is more on my fingers that my nails. It shines on her fingers when she puts it on but washes off very quickly. Mia always liked to have pamper days with her nieces, even though they are babies they like spending time with her and copying what she does.
Kate made the mistake of putting real nail varnish and make up on her once while she watched her one afternoon because Ava wanted it on. Christian completely blew up at her and washed it off before we left the house. Phoebe is his baby girl and is never allowed to grow up, so he tells me .
Considering my husband is a billionaire and in turn us too it is miss Ava Grey which acts like the spoilt one, never been told no by her parents. They are in for a whole lot of trouble when she is a teenager.
"You pretty Momma" she said as I looked in the mirror trying not to laugh. She had brushed my hair nearly knocking me out twice with the brush and now I had clips and bows in my hair. I looked like a dog ready for Cruffs.
Her hair was in pigtails with a bow on the top of each one. I took her hand and and went to find the boys.
"What you do to momma" Teddy said as Christian laughed.
"I don't know what your laughing at its your turn next, daddy needs his hair doing Phoebe" she clapped her hands going to her daddy and taking his hand to lead him to the bedroom.
"Don't forget the bows Phoebe" I shouted.
"Anastasia please" Christian called from the room as I laughed.
"Teddy bear can you help me with my hair please."
Teddy would often come and brush my hair, it is one of the things Christian remembers from his early childhood and had mixed emotions the first time he saw him do it. It was probably the only time he ever felt close with him mother.
Teddy had pulled all the clips and bows from my hair and softly brushed it. He placed a kiss on my hair as I looked up to him as he gave me a sloppy kiss on my lips.
"Momma back now" he stroked my hair. He's like his dad, he likes my hair long.
Christian came in with Phoebe a few minutes later with a large bow in his hair.
"Phoebe" Teddy said disgusted at his fathers hair but Phoebe smiled like her job is done.
Christian put her down as she ran off to play.
...
When the children were asleep that night we sat on the deck outside enjoying a glass of wine, mine non alcoholic. I had gotten used to it over the years.
"Are you ok after what we talked about this afternoon Christian."
"I'm fine Ana, with Ros having a baby I suppose its put a spanner in the works. Don't get me wrong I'm thrilled for her and Gwen, I just enjoyed our routine. Marco is doing his share and we are splitting everything between us, maybe its time to bring someone else in."
"As long as it stops you panicking, do you have someone in mind" I asked him.
"There are a few candidates who might fit the bill. We have a couple who have worked themselves up through the internship program and have shown great promise. Marco is my COO at the moment so they can work under him."
"Enough about work I have plans with my wife for this evening" he said taking my glass and putting it on the table beside us.
"And prey tell what are those plans because I am eager to find out."
"I wont tell you I will show you" he picked me up bridal style and carried me into our bedroom.
The monitors were quiet apart from the slight snores of our children.
"I want you to strip for me Mrs Grey" he said kissing the back of my neck and running his fingers down the side of my breast.
I undone the clasp on the back of the halter-neck dress I had on letting it fall to the floor revealing my naked body underneath.
"You've been naked all night" he said as I sat on the bed opening my legs to him as I nodded.
I could see his erection growing in his shorts.
"Drop them Grey" I said as he did just that as his cock sprung up.
He walked over to me, standing in front as his cock bounced in front of him with his movements.
I leaned forward taking the head of his cock in my mouth suckling gently hearing the groans from him.
I opened my mouth taking more of him in as his hips bucked when I sucked him more.
"Ana I want to be inside you when I cum" he moaned loudly.
"Christian you will wake the children up if you get louder." I giggled driving him crazy.
"Stop topping from the bottom and let me fuck you."
I lay back on the bed spreading my legs and holding my arms open to him.
"I'm all yours Christian" and I completely meant that. No other man had ever touched me and no man ever would.
He got into position crashing his lips to mine as he entered me thrusting deeply.
"I love being inside you Ana, love it."
He continued to thrust in me until I could feel my orgasm start. My breathing and movements were erratic as my orgasm hit, squeezing his cock he groaned in my ear before cuming inside me.
"Baby you ok" he panted out.
"Perfect" I said as my arms flopped to the side of me.
"I love you" he said laughing at me, my arms were complete jelly and I couldn't move.
"Love you too."
"Tired baby" he said picking me up and moving me up the bed.
"I am now, you have worn me out" I laughed.
He climbed into bed with me as I kicked the sheet over to his side, I was too warm to be covered. He grabbed the sheet with his feet as he kicked it completely off the bed pulling me in his arms.
"Night baby" he said as I yawned.
"Night sweetheart" I snuggled closer to him with my head on my chest and fell asleep in my favourite place, his arms.
Thank you for reading, its nice to write about these two again.
I am hoping to update this once a week but more if I can.
Until next time
