Special Delivery

Ray Arrives

Ana
Had I known the number of people Ray was bringing back from California with him I would have sent a bus and a bigger plane for them. The steward was threatening to quit when he finally got the plane cleaned up. I had him get extra people to assist him in the clean up. The drivers called for an actual bus to bring everyone to dads house.Christian said it looked like a clown car and the people just kept on climbing out. I snorted.
Christian
I think they are going to need a bigger house. These are his in laws and his many are her brothers and sisters? She shushed me. He finally got married. In Vegas at that. An Elvis Chapel.
Ana
No a church wedding She's Catholic so his said was his driver and hers was her family. He still hasn't told me how she got him to marry her. After seeing the family I might have an idea.
Christian
No kidding he was outnumbered. How did he meet her?
Ana
He met her at the hotel he stayed at a while ago. He was still with Felicity and hadn't started up with Ginger. She was the manager of the hotel. He changed hotels so her could ask her out. When he was out there this last visit he looked her up. One thing lead to the another and he made her an honest woman. And here they are our new members of our family I grin. The BBQs will be very interesting now. I think shock will set in later and family dinners will take on a new meaning. Can you see Christmas this year?
Christian
I am putting you on a budget.
Ana
Me what about you?
Christian
Okay here they come finally let's get this done. I won't remember everyone's names.
Ana
Me either.
Ray
Ana this is Luna and that is Ray your brother. This is Christian your son in law.
Luna
Wow aren't you Christian Grey the billionaire? I shake his hand and he looks at Ray and says you hid her California. He had no idea I had Ray. I gave up calling after a few months. When he came looking for me all hell broke loose on him. Hell called my family. They finally allowed him to see his son at the wedding. Hehehe.
Ray
Laugh now I know where you live now lol. Well let's carry you over the threshold of our home. Christian does Escala have any ground floor apartments?
Christian
I think they do, a lot of people don't buy them because of the noise levels in them.
Ray
Oh I doubt the crew would notice the noise over their own. I will call them after we figure out living arrangements. Stuart your steward was put through the wringer. I believe he deserves a raise. I pick up Luna and we go over the threshold finally. The furniture is how I recalled, but Luna and her mom want to redecorate with theirs. Ray has Ana's hand and smiling up at her.
Ray Jr
Are you really my sister?
Ana
Well I believe so. How do you feel about that?
Ray Jr
Well I guess it's okay. Do you like me yet?
Ana
Yes and soon we will love each other like siblings should. He grins and says he will like that.
Christian
We have a son close to your age if you want to come and play you are welcome if your parents okay it.
Ray
If it's okay with Luna it's okay with me. Plus Joey is living there as well right?
Christian
Yes they live in the east wing. Ray you need to ask Elliott if he has homes available for the extended family.
Ray
I will call him soon. Right now we needs to rest and get the room straightened out. I hate to give you two the bums rush but go away for now.
Christian
Sure call if you need anything. The kitchen is fully stocked per your request and what you requested.
Three days later Ray and Luna bring Ray Jr for a play date.
Aubrey
Joey, Timmy and now little Ray are all playing on the play set in the back yard while Luna, Ana and watch them. Christian and Ray are grilling steaks and the housekeeper is setting the tables with various dishes.
Luna
So where is the poppa?
Aubrey
I was raped at 14.
Luna
Oh I am so sorry what are you 19 now and he is five?
Aubrey
He will be five and I am 18.
Luna
I have a single brother, well a couple of them.
Aubrey
Well it's nice to ask me, but I am getting my college degree so I am working on that right now along with raising Joey. So no dating at this time sorry.
Luna
Understood.
Ana
Ahh the joys of being celibate getting the college degree. Been there done that.
Luna
How did you meet Christian?
Ana
Oh his jet, he brother set it up. But for other reasons we don't discuss now.it all worked out greatly.
Luna
So Aubrey is your half sister and Joey is your nephew. Ray told a few things, but it kind of went over my head about all the connections stemming from your mother.
Ana
She was a piece of work alright. How much did her tell you?
Luna
She was evil and kidnapped you intending on killing you.
Ana
Wow he told you a lot then. Mind if we don't rehash all that. I and Aubrey had to go through a lot of therapy for what we went through with her. I was luckier than my other siblings Ray got me away from her.
Aubrey
She's right about that, but Ana has been there for me and the Clark as well until he died. I miss him so much. Joey does too. He was a good man.
Luna
Are you okay?
Aubrey
Yes I just miss him so much. He showed me so much Love and he helped find Joey for me. Mom took him from me on the day he was born. She lied and said someone bought him and I would never find him. But she took him to CPS and he never got adopted. Christians mom is a pediatrician and remember a baby who they couldn't get anyone to adopt him because he was so sullen and moody no one wanted him. He also cried a lot. That was my baby. We got lucky.
Luna
Your mother in law is a pediatrician? Is she taking new patients?
Ana
I have no idea, she might make an exception for Ray Jr.
