Chapter 44.
CPOV
Today is finally the day that I get to make Ana my wife. We spent last night at my parents' home it was so hard sitting around the dinner table with all my family and not scream we are pregnant. Mia had a major hissy fit about me and Ana spending the night together. I ignored her as we already went over this and my answer was not going to change. Me and Ana had some kinky sex in my old bedroom which was so hot.
I am finding it very hard to remove my hand from Ana's stomach I can't wait until she starts to grow a bump and I can feel our mini me move. I know I need to curb my newly found stomach obsession when we are in public as everyone would figure it out straight away. Ana is sleeping soundly while I make sure everything is ready for our big day tomorrow. Since Carla came back into Ana's life for a moment I have hired more security and made sure I have someone tailing her. She will not be allowed anywhere near Ana and she will never be in mini me's life.
I awake to a cold bed as Ana is not next to me. I instantly go into panic mode as I am now an over protective husband and father. I think I actually might lose my mind with all the worrying that is yet to come. I see a note next to my phone on the dresser.
Christian.
My Husband and baby daddy.
Mini me was really hungry and I didn't want to wake you as I wanted to you to be well rested for today. Please come and find me once you are awake as I want a kiss from you.
Ana.
Wife and baby mamma.
Reading Ana's note made me smile but I wish she would have woken me up and not gone downstairs without me. I know I sound irrational but I want to protect and care for her all day every day. I make my way downstairs and I enter a circus there are people everywhere and so much going on. I assumed small and intimate wedding meant just that but I guess not. I walk into the dining room where I see the most beautiful sight anyone could see. The woman who I will be calling my wife in three hours' time feeding our mini me. She looks so glowing and beautiful pregnancy seems like it's finally agreeing with her. I kiss her just like she asked for me to and she holds me close not wanting to let me go. I plan on us staying like this forever.
Our peaceful moment is ruined by my mother and sister being far to chaotic and loud. Ana is in a state of sheer bliss and that's how I want it kept. I know they want to take Ana away from me but I don't think I can remove myself from her and mini me three hours seems like such a long time.
"Baby I don't think I can let you go."
"Christian it's only a few hours. You will see me soon when I walk down the aisle to become your wife" Her smile is bigger and brighter than it has ever been. It still doesn't make me okay with her leaving now.
"Love you," She mouthed the word we before the love you part while she touched her stomach. How lucky am I that my wife and my mini me love me so much?
I hate watching her walk away and my father brother and Gramps are all looking at me like I am crazy.
"Son I think you should get tested for separation anxiety. You're going to need to work on that before you two start making babies," Oh shit does Gramps know that Ana is pregnant I need to stop over thinking as I am likely to scream baby all over the house.
What Ana is not aware of is that I have asked Gwen to bring her camera as I want a special picture of me and Ana together done in privacy. If I had my way, it would be done in front of everyone but I understand the risks of telling people this early. Just because I know and understand the risks doesn't mean I am happy with it. The men folk start to get ready as the photographer wants pictures of us all together soon. Mia and my Mother soon join us to check on us make sure we are behaving no doubt.
The photographer takes the shots he needs to and we all get into position and wait for Ana to arrive. I hear gasps and I know Ana has arrived I went against what the minister told me do and I turn fully around to watch Ana walk towards me. I am nearly having a heart attack over how beautiful and perfect she looks. Once she gets close enough to me Ray let's go of her arm and helps her into mine I can't help but kiss her. I know you kiss at the end but It's our day our way.
I can't take my eyes off her I am the happiest man alive right now I get to marry the woman I love more than life itself and in 7 months I will be holding our mini me in my arms. The minister starts on the vow bit of the wedding and I am more than ready for this.
Anastasia I love you with all that I am and all that I could ever be. I give you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, to stand by your side in good times and in bad, to share your joy as well as your sorrow...I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals and dreams, to honour and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, to share my hopes and dreams with you, and bring you solace in times of need... And to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.
Christian I love you with all that I am and all that I could ever be. I solemnly vow that I will safeguard and hold dear and deep in my heart our union and you...I promise to love you faithfully, forsaking all others, through the good times and the bad, in sickness and health, regardless of where life takes us. I will protect you, trust you, and respect you. I will share your joys and sorrows and comfort you in times of need. I promise to cherish you and uphold your hopes and dreams and keep you safe at my side. All that is mine is now yours. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love from this moment on for as long as we both shall live.
I am so emotional right now and Ana tips me over the edge by not only surprising me but all the guests and the minister looks like he is about to pass out.
Ana holds my hand and places it on her stomach.
Christian me and Mini Me love you so much and I can't wait for us to be a family.
If there was ever an appropriate use for the phrase and the crowd goes wild this is it. My mother is hysterical Mia is her usually crazy self and I see my father Gramps and Elliot wipe actual tears from their eyes. Ray looks less surprised than anyone else so I assume Ana told him earlier on today.
I know pronounce you man and wife you may kiss your bride.
I kiss Ana with a lot of heat and passion as I am overwhelmed with emotions after she has told everyone about our mini me. After our kiss finishes I kneel on the floor and kiss her stomach and wraps my arms around her waist as Daddy needed a kiss and a hug from mini me.
I remember our wedding day like it was yesterday it was such a perfect day. It's been five years since that day and life has been amazing. Ana and I had a little boy called Teddy well Theodore Raymond Grey but he loves being called Teddy. I could not love my wife and son more if I tried. Ana had a wonderful pregnancy and Teddy's birth was quick we almost didn't make it to the hospital before he arrived so impatient just like me.
Ana started her clothing line and she is now a multi-millionaire I am so proud of her. She makes being a wife a mother and a business woman look so easy. We are now in the process of making baby number 2 as we are in such a great place professionally and personally that it is the right time. I can't wait to be a dad again I am really broody which makes Ana laugh every time I say it but it's true.
Ana's birth mother tried to approach Ana after Teddy was first born and I did not react well to it at all. She was later killed by a drunk driver. Ana never talks about her so I never bring it up but I know she must feel some sort of way about it. We are all about happiness and positives and I am excited to see where life takes us.
