Fifty Shades of Baby Grey

Chapter Four

Ana:

Christian is distant once we get back from the Grey's disaster Mother's Day brunch . I give him some space and decide to curl up in the library with a good book. I hunt for a good book and decide on 'Lord of the Flies' I smile at myself, Ray used to read me this book as a kid. Shit mom! I didn't call her , I feel terrible. She answers on the second ring "Mom I'm so freaking sorry , ugh I'm a horrible daughter." I apologize, she chuckles fondly and I know there are no hurt feelings. "Don't worry dear , I know you're busy and being pregnant is tiring." I nod even though she can't see me "Well happy Mother's Day and I love you." I can sense her smile "Thank you baby girl , how is my teddy?" I smile "Good, I had some more Braxton's Hicks today but I'm okay know."

"Oh .... are you sure they aren't contractions?" I tense
"No mom , what did you do today?" I ask changing the subject. She happily tells me about her and bobs lunch with friends and how they are going to a karaoke bar tonight. Oh mom , such a young hearted lady. It's good to talk to her. I almost forget about what happened today. I frown "Oh Ana tell me what's wrong!" Carla scolds me "What are you talking about?" I play innocent "You sound like you're upset , come on tell me." Should I? "Don't tell Bob or anything." She huffs "I promise , spill." I take a deep breath and explain. Casually leaving the part out about Grace and her not wanting me her at her home anymore.

My mom is stunned into silence , I chew on my bottom lip "Christian hit him?" "Yes." My mom scoffs "Bastard deserved it , calling my baby girl a whale!" She is in full mama bear mode , I chuckle "I'm just so hurt about Kate." "I know honey , maybe she's pmsing ." I burst out laughing "I won't be in her wedding." I murmur sadly , my mom sighs "I'm so sorry baby girl , are you and Christian okay?" I tense and my mind drifts to his cold demeanor, I chew my bottom lip "Are you two okay?" My mom voices her question again. "Yeah great ," Please drop it. Thankfully she does and we being discussing another topic.

Around five o'clock I become hungry and set out to find something to eat. Gail is in the kitchen putting up dishes "Evening Mrs.Grey." I smile opening the fridge "How are you today?" I ask pulling out some leftover chicken pot pie. "Good , would you like something to eat?" She looks at me expectingly , I nod smiling shyly "Anything in particular?" "A sandwich?" "Ham or turkey?" "Turkey , no mayo and tomatoes please." Gail smiles and begins to make my sandwich.
I perch myself on the barstool, brewing over what happened today. Take your whale of a wife home. Hmmm. I am beginning to look like a whale. "Mrs Jones?" I call for her. She is just about to slice my bread for the sandwich "Yes ma'am?" I clear my throat "Actually I'll pass on the sandwich, I'm going to have a banana instead." Her eyebrows raise "Are you sure?" I nod grabbing a ripe banana from the fruit bowl "Yes I am , thank you though." Gail nods and puts away the sandwich stuff.

I lounge around the living room , Christian is still in the bedroom or his office? I don't even know. Some Mother's Day I've had.
Christian appears coming out of our bedroom , he's still dressed in the clothes he wore today. His hair is disheveled and his eyes are sleepy, he must have been taking a nap. Hmm Christian napping that's unusual.
He doesn't notice me or ignores me I'm not sure which and goes into the kitchen and greets Gail "Evening Gail, can I have a sandwich?" My stomach growls at the thought of a turkey sandwich. I push the thought aside , whale. My inner goddess scowls at me.

"Turkey and avocado?" "Please." Christian opens the fridge and gets something to drink , Gail begins making his sandwich "Would you like me too make Mrs Grey one as well?" I tense , looking towards Christian. He raises his eyebrow at me "You didn't eat dinner?" His voice is tight "No I'm not hungry." I whisper , Christian watches me dryly then turns to Gail "Please make her one , no mayonnaise and some tomatoes" He repeats my earlier order.
Christian brings me my sandwich then sits at my feet with his own , he then flips on the television and puts on law and order. The show fills the silence of us. I eat a bite of sandwich, it's delicious.... my stomach rumbles thankfully. Christian eats his sandwich mutely , I swallow a bite of my own watching him "I have a meeting with Ms Todd tomorrow, the one I was telling you about. I meet her at SIP around 12 o'clock." Christian glances at me "I have to go into the office , Taylor and sawyer have the day off. You'll have to drive yourself." His tone is sharp and clipped , my heart cracks slightly. Oh Christian don't blame me. "Can I take the SUV? I don't think I can fit in the R8 or Saab." He nods "I'll leave the keys in the dresser." I chew my lower lip placing the rest of my sandwich on the coffee table.

I sigh heavily , rubbing my bump tenderly. I'm sorry today has been so shitty Teddy. He kicks my hand making me smile , then my stomach tightens. I whimper shifting on the couch "Are you okay?" "Fine" I snap standing up , I need to walk. I pace at the large glass wall , with my hands braced in my lower back "Ana , do I need to call Dr.Greene?" Christian is at my side , tears well up in my eyes. "I'm sorry." I cry out , wrapping my arms around him. Christian holds me , kissing my head "I'm sorry for today , for ruining everything and I'm sorry for making your mom not want to talk to you. I'm sorry for being a whale too." I ramble , my words coming out jumbled. Christian coos to me "Shh don't say those things ," he kisses my forehead , I cry into his chest. Letting everything come out , it feels good to cry.

I'm curled underneath the comforter in bed , Christian is reading a book next to me. After my meltdown, we took a bath together and made love. I feel significantly better , though Christian is still a bit distant .... I idly wonder if he blames me. I turn over and face him "Do you blame me?" I whisper , Christian looks down at me "No , why would you ask that?" I shrug looking at the olive colored sheets "You've been so distant." Christian places the book on his nightstand and scoots down further the bed , he lays his head on my pillow. "Have I? I don't feel like I have , we made love and talked." I look up into his gray eyes , they shine with confusion "You haven't talked much , your demeanor has been cold." I whisper , a feeling of sadness washes over me "I apologize for being that way , I didn't mean to." He kisses my chastely on the lips, I sigh into the kiss "I love you Christian," Christian smiles his shy smile "And I you Mrs.Grey , get some sleep." I nod and curl up against his chest , inhaling his scent. Sleep soon invades me.

The bright Seattle morning is shining through the glass wall . I stretch out in bed , Christian is still sound asleep next to me . Hmm Christian sleeping. He's so beautiful, I kiss his cheek before getting out of bed and heading into the restroom. I use the toilet then strip off my clothing and climb into the massive shower.
I wash my hair , body and shave. Teddy somersaults from inside me , he's awake and ready for today. I rise off my body just as Christian walks into the shower "Morning." He murmurs bending down and kissing my bump , I smile "Good morning," I move to let him underneath the water , Christian kisses my lips then wets his hair. I allow myself to drink in the view of Christian naked and wet, hmmmm a fine sight. His muscles ripple as he washes his hair , I smile at him before stepping out of the shower and drying myself off.

As I blow dry my hair , Christian is shaving . What a normal morning routine for a married couple , I drop my towel and walk into our bedroom in search of under garments. My black lacy panties and bra make me feel sexy and not like a whale , I look at my reflection in the mirror. My stomach is large , round and right with a few stretch marks her and there. I sigh heavily and shake my head , since when do I look at myself so much in the mirror? Since I've become a whale.

Christian looks edible in black slacks , white button up shirt and my favorite grey tie. He joins me at the bar and has a sip of his coffee , Mrs . Jones is making his breakfast while I eat my yogurt and granola. A healthier choice than my usual waffles and eggs , Teddy kicks my stomach roughly obviously wanting waffles. "That's all your having?" Christian asks , his disapproval behind his tone . I nod eating the last bit , I take a sip of my breakfast tea "You should have something else , do you want a omelet?" Omelet ,mmm. "No I'm fine , what time will you be home?" I change the subject , Christian takes a bite of his omelet. "Around six ,why?" I shrug "Just wondering , I'll email you on how the meeting goes." He smiles "I trust your instincts." I kiss the corner of his mouth swiftly before heading back to the bedroom to finish getting ready.

My large bump looks nice in my cream shift dress and navy flats. I apply a little mascara and lipgloss then grab my purse and phone and head to the elevator. "Mrs.Jones?" She appears from the kitchen "Yes?" "I'm going to SIP , I'll be home around four. I'd like to cook dinner tonight, enjoy a evening off." She looks surprised "Are you sure?" I nod smiling back at her "I am , you deserve an evening off." Gail nods "If you insist." "I insist." I bid her a goodbye and step into the elevator.

The Audi SUV is large and awkward to drive , how does Christian manage this thing? I pull carefully at the garage and head towards SIP.

Everything goes by in slow motion , all I feel is impact. I think I scream or curse but I'm not sure. Darkness in cases me.

"Ma'am?" I hear panicked voices and shuffling "She's unconscious!" I try to move but nothing moves , my whole body hurts. "She's about eight months pregnant." I open my eyes and am blinded by light. "Ms can you hear me?" I whimper "My baby," my voice is so low I'm not sure the man heard me. "We know stay awake." And I try really try but darkness invades me.
