Fifty Shades of Baby Grey

Chapter Three

Ana:

My air supply leaves  me , everything slows for a moment. Jack is out of jail , how? When? Did he cause the fire? My throat constricts at the thought. Oh no.
Christian is in front of me looking over my face "Ana?" His hands run up my arms bringing me from my dark thoughts, I close my eyes briefly. "Ana!" Christian exclaims , I finally meet his eyes , my own welling up. "Did he...?" I croak a tear running down my face , Christian is confused but slowly pieces together my question. His face breaks into a concerned frown "Oh no , he was only released yesterday..... Christ baby he didn't burn our home down." Christian enfolds me into his arms , I bury my face in his chest inhaling his scent. He smells of fresh laundry , and Christian.... he smells like home.
I whimper again before pulling back , Christian is watching me with concern. "Who told you he was out?" Christian brushes the hair from my face "Welch did , I'm sorry for worrying you,". He kisses me chastely, I sigh "I wonder why he got out so soon," Jeez it's barley been eight months , surely he should have done more time? Christian shrugs seeming at a loss for words "Welch is on it , he won't hurt us." Christian rubs my bump soothingly, Teddy kicks his fathers hand making his presence know.

I stretch my neck from side to side "Tell me what you're thinking," He kisses my forehead tenderly , "Nothing really , my thoughts are scattered," I murmur looking up into his gray eyes , they shine with guilt "How about a bath before dinner?" He asks tentatively, I chuckle "Me trying to get out of a bath with be like shamu trying to walk," I snicker shaking my head , Christian regards me dryly "You're beautiful and pregnant with my son , no shamu." He looks amused now , I smile "A shower sounds nice though." Christian grins wickedly "A shower it is then," He leads me into the hallway then up to our room.

Gail's chicken pot pie has to become one of my favorite dishes , I eat bite after bite unable to contain my hungry. Making love with Christian Grey ... twice will do that to a girl , not that being pregnant helps any. Christian and I are sitting at the kitchen table , I'm casually dressed in cotton pajamas pants with the matching top. Teddy somersaults from inside me , he must like the chicken pot pie too. I wipe my mouth with the napkin before reaching for my glass of water with lemon and taking a long drink. Hmmm refreshing. Christian watches me with a pleased look. He was delighted when he realized pregnancy made me more hungry than I've ever been in my life.

"Why did Jack get out so soon?" I finally speak the question that has been brewing in my mind since Christian told me the news. Christian tenses and looks down at his half eaten plate of food , his jaw clenches "Welch said he made probation , he's living at a halfway house in Portland. Welch will have more information tomorrow," He grabs his wine and tosses back the rest , I tap my fingers against the table absentmindedly, probation? At least he's in Portland, not that Portland is very far away from Seattle. I shudder looking down at my plate , I clasp my lower lip between my teeth.

I feel nauseous and weepy almost , everything is falling apart and right before Teddy's birth. Christian clasps my hand "Hey , don't" he warns and I know he means don't overthink. "I can't help it." I shake my head , Teddy kicks my bladder and I need the restroom. "I'm going to pee," I whisper and rise from the table and waddle slowly to the restroom.

My reflection stares back at me in the mirror , I'm pale and glossy eyed. I dry my hands on the towel then rub them over my face sighing heavily.
Christian is staring at the large painting on the wall in the dining room when I come back , I sit back in my seat pushing my plate to the side. Christian smiles at me "How is my son?" I can't help but smile at him , Teddy always brings a smile to my face. I rub my bump lovingly gazing down at it , Ted kicks my hand "Moving around like crazy," Christian reaches over and sprawls his hand over my large belly , "It's hard to believe he'll be here so soon," He murmurs , I nod "I know , less than three weeks now." Christian swallows thickly and looks as if he is guilty. "Hey what's wrong?" I ask placing my hand on his , together we hold my belly. Christian shakes his head , snapping out of his trance "Nothing, I was thinking." I open my mouth to push the subject but Taylor interrupts us.
