The Proposal

Christian Grey
I am finally getting some time alone with Ana. I have the ring and made plans for the weekend. Ana was busy making something special for all the children when I joined her. She looked surprised at my arrival, I took her in my arms and asked her to put away her surprise for this weekend so we could go someplace special. I have been trying to get her to take some time for herself and us. But life has other ideas. We welcomed the triplets as her new brothers, that was a great party even with all the children. Shane and David not only expanded their business but they are expanding their family. Robert and Roger are about the same age as the triplets, so they now have some playmates. Ana has been living with me and Alice and occasionally Emily is here for extended visits. Francis is getting a new company up and running and needs Emily with someone she feels comfortable with. So now that the youngest is Preston and he is going on five, Angelina is 9 going on 35. Alice and Emily look up to her even though their isn't that much of an age difference. Ana is now working at home I will walk in the house and hear her telling someone get it done or find someone who can do your job better.
Ana
I finish yelling at an employee who just can't do his job and I think it is because he thinks because I am not there he can do anything he wants to do. I turn around and Christian is looking at me screaming because he scared me. He calmed me down and t9ld me to close up shop for the weekend he wanted to take me someplace special just the two of us. Oh well I knew it was coming, wonder if we can have an extra long engagement and have a over the top wedding. My mother would love it. Me not so much. I am sure Kate and Mia would love it all. I go to get a bag packed and he stops me and says he had everything packed already. No work will be done this weekend, because he wants us to enjoy ourselves.
Christian
Ana keeps asking where we are going and I keep ignoring her. I found a place where we can be ourselves and have some privacy. We have CPOs driving us and two following us, we have the upper floors to a hotel in a nice quiet town. It has spas and antique shops and book stores and places we can get thing for our children and family members. Quiet walks and a nice hot tub with a view of the night sky overhead.

Christian opens the door to our suite and lifts me up and carries me into the suite like a couple of honeymooners. I laugh and try to get out of his arms but he carries me to our bedroom. Where he sits me on the bed. I recall how romantic he can be as we look at each other and he tenderly kisses me and I melt into his arms as he tells me he loves me and always has. I still love him too. He stands and turns music on and pulls me up and we start dancing. He definitely knows how to dance and we move as one and we slowly undress each other and we can never get enough of one another.
The next morning we wake to an insistent knocking at the door.

Sir we need to go back to Settle immediately. Preston has been kidnapped. I help Christian catch a fainting Ana. I have everything packed up and we head out after paying the bills. I called Gail and told her we were coming back immediately. We barely showered, but we need to hit the ground running on this one. Gail was frantic, she said it happened so fast and the authorities are there already. She said it happened in the same way when the paparazzi and the kidnappers nearly got Alice. This time because Preston was excited and ran to the car they got him before we could get to him. The police have gotten as far as they can in finding out how and why the paparazzi were really there.
Raymond
I got on the phone immediately after hearing about the kidnapping of my grandson, because of paparazzi and them causing a huge crowd asking if Christian and Ana were engaged. He had asked for her hand in marriage and was taking her away this weekend to be alone to ask her. Sarafina was out of her mind thinking it was one of the friends of her family or even her family at this point.
Welch
I get on this and call Barney and get him looking at all the footage along with his IT department. Ray has called me and he has his sources also he is on his way to look things over. Sarafina is on her way as well to see if she recognizes anyone. Grey is two hours away from Seattle. The FBI has been notified of the kidnapping and they are also looking over everything. The internet has all kinds of video playing over and over again.
Carrick
I am trying along with Christians attorneys to get these videos taken down immediately. Barney got involved and got a lot of sites taken down. He is still working on that along with trying to find the culprits. Barney said he has an idea of how to figure out who set it all up along with when Alice was nearly taken.
Grace
I can't believe this was a random kidnapping attempt it was too well executed and when Ana and Christian were both out of town. Which means someone is giving out personal information and it was well timed.
Carla
I can't believe this, and again the paparazzi provided them a crowd to escape with my grandson. I just pray he is brought back alive. Sarafina is distraught and telling us all the names of who of her family and their friend might have been behind all of this. But something tells me it's someone else involved like the last attempt and they tried to take Alice.
