Fifty Shades After

Chapter 36

Flynn POV

We are all at Christians apartment Grace, Elliott, his girlfriend, Ray and Christian. I know Grace and Ana are in their room, evaluating the wounds she has. I am keeping an eye out because I want to talk to her before she becomes overwhelmed. I know there is something underlying with Elliott's girlfriend, she keeps looking around looking for Ana, but she has a strange look on her face. I see Grace and Ana emerge from the room I walk over to her "Good morning my dear. Before you become enamored with family and such, lets go to Christians office. I want to talk a little about where we are OK"?  We walk over to Christians office and sit down on the couch. "Tell me dear, where are you at right now"? "Right now at this moment I am angry. I am sure while you were out there you met Elliott's girlfriend. Well before she was dating him, she is my best friend. I went out with her that night, when Jose took me. She invited him with us. I wasn't aware. I told her I wasn't comfortable being around him but she wanted all of us to hang. I stayed but then she up and left me with him when I told her I wasn't comfortable with him. I mean what kind of friend does that? Yes she was drunk or whatever but come on, it pisses me off that she is here right now, when she knows her part in all of this. Plus she never told Christian how Jose happened to be around me to take me. That she called and invited him to hang with us". After hearing this, the looks and nervousness are starting to add up a lot. "Ana the only way you will know anything is to talk to her. I am sure she never meant for this to happen but I agree she should have been more conscious of your feeling and comfort. There is nothing wrong with your feelings, they are your own opinions and it can not be wrong. Just own it, don't let anyone make you feel like you are wrong for feeling what you are feeling. Also Christian wanted us to talk together after everyone leaves....something we need to talk about. I will also ask again about your feelings towards your friend afterwards". "That sounds good, although I am now curious but I will try to be patient". I chuckle at Ana and we walk back into the living room.

Ana POV 

John and I have left the office and I am feeling marginally better about my feelings. I wasn't sure if I was being dramatic or sensitive about this Kate thing, but to be validated helps me a lot. I walk into the living room feeling nervous. I see Elliott and Christian talking, dad and Kate talking also. Grace sees me and comes over and hugs me. "Lets join everyone my dear". Grace walks me over to Christian who see me and smiles at me. "Hey baby you look beautiful". I beam under his praise. "Thank you baby" I reach up and peck his lips with a quick kiss. "Hey Elliott Kate". "Hey lil sis long time no see....how are you babes"? Elliott grabs me around he waist and twirls me around. "Careful Elliott, Ana is still recovering plus you don't wanna shake up the babies do you"? I look at Christian and see him with an amused look on his face. "Ana your having a baby"? Elliott asks. "Actually its twins but yes I am". "So I'm gonna be an uncle"? "Gonna be? You already are dork". Elliott looks at me funny, and I look over at Christian with a look of confusion. "Christian what the hell? He doesn't know"? As I finished talking to Christian, I hear a cry from upstairs. I leave these idiots to their confusion and I go to check on my son. I find his room and see how its been decorated. There are planes and train murals on the wall, looking like a train station. The crib is a beautiful oak wood crib with a train carved into the wood. I look into the crib and Teddy quiets immediately. "Hello mama's big boy. Are you done with your nap? Do you want your mama"? He squeals and holds his arms up as if wanting to be picked up. I pick him up and see he needs a change. I go through the process and notice his clothes are wet. I take his clothes off and look into his drawers. Christian has made sure he is well stocked. I notice a onesie that says 'Mommy's little stud muffin' with a picture of a muffin underneath. I just couldn't resist and grabbed it along with a pair of denim pants. I find white socks to match. I get Teddy redressed and find a bib with a plane on it and tie it around his neck. I notice he is drooling a bit and remember something about teething. I pick him up and he just looks so handsome. I kiss his cheeks and go back down the stairs.
