Fifty Shades of Baby Grey

Chapter Eleven

Ana:

Today my mother leaves back to Georgia. It is a bitter sweet day. On one hand , I am excited for Christian and I to be our own little family with Teddy but the other part of me is worried I won't be able to do it.

My mom is packing her things when I enter the spare room. "Need a hand?" I offer , my mom turns and smiles at me "I'm fine dear , where's my Teddy?" I sit on the bed "Christian is bathing him ," A smile tugs at my lips as I recall Christian singing to Teddy while he bathed him. Carla smiles "That's wonderful dear , I mean that Christian is so good with him. " I smile with agreement "I'm very lucky ,". My mom smiles back at me "Will you be alright without me?" Her tone is laced with concern , I shrug and begin to pick at a imagine piece of fuzz on the blanket. "Christian goes back to work Wednesday, it will be Teddy and I alone - well except for Gail but .... I don't know. Is it wrong of me to be worried I'll fail?" Tears well up in my eyes and my voice cracks.

Damn hormones!

My mom is sitting in front of me in a flash , her hands grab mine "Sweetie, it's perfectly normal to be afraid to fail. But you won't , you're an amazing mother. Don't put yourself down!" She calmly states then enfolds me into a comforting mom hug. I sigh and allow myself to weep for no reason.

It is a tearful goodbye, my mom cries as she kisses Teddy goodbye. "Call me and send pictures, okay?" My mom hugs me again then pulls away wiping her eyes. I smile "I promise, we'll miss you ." I grab Teddy from her , he is watching the exchange with a furrowed brow. Christian wraps an arm around my waist "I really appreciate you helping us Carla , I hope you have a safe journey home." My mom surprises me by hugging Christian. "Take good care of them ," My mom sniffles , Christian smiles "I will,"

The elevator closes behind my mom and I sigh "She'll come visit soon," Christian murmurs and kisses my temple. "I know , it's just sad to see her go ." Christian smiles , tucking a strand of hair behind my ear "I know , baby. " He kisses me tenderly again , and I return the kiss. Our lips meld perfectly, and the familiar belly clenching sensation flows through me. Oh boy , I want him. My inner goddess pops up from her bunker and brings my libido back with her. Christians hand tangles into my hair as he draws me closer and right when the kiss is about to get hotter - Teddy let's out a frustrated cry.

Christian and I pull back out of breath , we exchange a sly smile before Teddy cries again. He's hungry. "Okay baby boy , let's feed you." I walk over to the sofa and sit down, propping a pillow under Teddy , I bring him close then lift up my shirt and guide him to nurse.
Christian joins me on the sofa , the Seattle Times in hand. "Kate and Elliot's wedding is next week," I state , my tone is leveled. Christian glances at me "Elliot called and said we were more than welcomed to come ," I roll my eyes and look down at Teddy nursing , his little grey eyes shine up at me. "Kate won't be happy with that ," Christian scoffs "I don't care what she's okay with. " His tone is full of venom. Uh oh , he really doesn't like Kate now. 'Do you blame him?' My inner goddess scowls at me.

I sigh "I don't want to go , is that alright?" I whisper and look into Christians eyes "Of course baby ." He kisses me tenderly before his ever active blackberry buzzes "Fuck , I'll be two minutes." "Christian language!" I laugh , he cringes "Sorry forgot ," I giggle , Christian rises from the sofa and heads into his office.

The rest of my day consists of , feeding Teddy , making a loaf of homemade bread and wandering around the penthouse. Christian is holed up in his office , he is buried with work. A pang of guilty rushes through me , his had to take so much time off because of me. I shake off my negative thoughts and change Teddy's dirty diaper.

"Mrs. Grey?" Gail calls out for me as I walk out of the bedroom. Teddy is curled up on my chest in his wrap , this is very handy - I must thank Hannah for this. "Yes?" Gail is holding a bouquet of beautiful of blue hydrangeas. "Who sent these?" I wonder out loud as I touch the petals. Teddy gurgles from my wrap , his little mouth forming a little grin - I kiss his forehead. "There is a card ," Gail hands me the handwritten card "Can you set these on the living room table , please?" I ask as I open the card "Of course ," Gail leaves to place the flowers down.
