Fifty Shades of Baby Grey

Chapter One

Ana:

My eyes are blinded from the early morning light , jeez why must it be so bright? Seattles skyline is at my feet , my big baby bump blocks half of the view. Christian is missing from bed , I reach out and touch his side - it's cold. Hmm he's been up for a while , not that I blame him .. the last few weeks have been difficult, after the fire at our home everything seems uneasy. Blip kicks and somersaults inside me and presses on my bladder  , okay time to get up.
After a quick trip to the bathroom I pad slowly out of the bedroom and into the great room , Mrs. Jones is cooking breakfast softly humming to herself... Christian is no where to be seen.

"Morning Mrs.Grey , breakfast should be done in ten minutes." She smiles softly at me then goes back to flipping pancakes, my recent obsession. "Thank you .... um where's Christian?" I glance around the great room for him , "He's in his office." I nod at Gail and head in that direction.
Christian is speaking on the phone when I peek my head in , he's dressed in black jeans and a white shirt that hugs all of his muscles... hmmm. "What do you mean?" He snarls into the phone pacing at the huge floor to ceiling windows , blip kicks my stomach ... I run my hand over the spot. Christian sighs heavily running a hand through his already tousled hair "Get all the information you can ...... and alert Ross for me , I won't be going to the office today or tomorrow." He's silent for a moment "Okay... bye." Christian hangs up the phone and scoffs , I pad softly over to him and lean against his desk .... Christian notices me and smiles his shy smile. "Morning Mrs.Grey," he kisses my lips chastely, then leans back and caresses my baby bump ... blip kicks his fathers hand. Christian grins then it slowly fades away and panic crosses his face "He'll be here in three weeks." I smile and kiss the corner of Christians mouth "I know , are you okay?" I whisper the last part , Christian tenses and looks urgently into my eyes .... his gray eyes shine with unsaid fear. "If anything were to happened to you or Ted ... I don't know what I would do." His voice is thick with worry , oh my poor fifty. I wrap my arms around his body bringing him close to him or as close as little teddy will allow ... Christian melts into my arms and buries his face in my hair inhaling deeply

I kiss his chest through his shirt inhaling his intoxicating scent, "Don't worry Christian, me and Teddy are safe.... the fire was a gas leak remember?" My body shudders at the memory of Christian screaming and lifting my from the bed as our beautiful, dream house burnt to the ground. Christian tenses once again in my arms , oh no .. what is it? "Christian what happened?" I pull away from him to look into his eyes , Christians jaw clenches and his eyes drift down to my eight and half month bump .... time ticks by slowly. My body is tense with worry , what will he say?

"The results came back on the fire , they think it wasn't a gas leak," The world pauses around me , a wave a nausea hitting.... I pull back from Christian and walk over to the window. "What was it then?" I whisper, I feel like I'm suffocating. Did someone do this? My mind drifts to the fire in Christians office here , that was arson.... oh no. "They don't know , I have Welch on it." I let out a uneven breath , this isn't what I expected. "I guess I owe Eliot an apology," Christian murmurs bitterly , I nod still peering out the window down at Seattle. Christian tore Eliot a new one when the fire happened, their relationship has been on ice ever since , even Kate and I haven't really been talking. She took her fiancé'S side and I took my husbands side.

I turn to Christian, he's watching me carefully with a look of guilt. "How did they know it wasn't a gas leak?" My throat feels dry , Christian sighs heavily looking lost... oh Christian don't be so hard on yourself. "They found there was no busted pipe .... we just assumed it was a gas leak." He scowls the last part and runs his hand through his hair and tugs roughly on the ends ... so tightly I know it hurts. I bite my lower lip, at a loss for words .... shit what do I say to comfort him. "Christian at least me and Teddy are safe , it could have been worse." I make my way over to him and envelop him in my arms , I hug him tightly... Christian sighs contently kissing the top of my head. "You're so strong Mrs.Grey , our son will be lucky to have you." Tears involuntary well up in my eyes , oh hormones. Christian kisses my tears away "Thank you for being honest with me." I whisper and smile up at him ... boy has Christian changed.
