Protecting Me

***Some portions of this chapter have sentences spoken in a toddler like speech. I do not have children but I have a niece that speaks like Ellie. I tried to write it the way it sounds. Thank you for reading.

It's official Ana and I are having a baby! We were able to get into see Dr. Thomas yesterday and it was amazing seeing our little peanut. I expected to see more than a blip on the screen but that's still our baby. It looks like we conceived our munchkin around Christmas time because she is around 7 weeks pregnant, September 30th can't come soon enough for either of us.

With having Ellie and now having another child we've talked decided to purchase a house. Our apartment is only 2 bedrooms and we only have a small balcony but no grass access beside the park down the street. We both agreed that we wanted our children to grow up with a backyard and room to run.

"Happy Valentine's Day!" I look up to see Ana coming out of the bathroom dressed in a deep v plunge purple teddy.

"Fuck.. Baby, I almost came just by looking at you." She smirks before sashay her way towards me. She grabs the sheet and tugs it off the bed.

"My my it seems someone is very happy to see me."

"Always" I groan out as she starts to stroke me before taking me into her mouth.

"You always taste so good, Mr. Grey." She says after I cum like a freight train into her mouth.

"Not as good as you taste." I pull her under me and start to enjoy my prebreakfast treat.

We spent the next hour making love before hearing tapping on our bedroom door followed by giggling.

"Our little Pooh Bear is awake. You take a shower and I'll get breakfast started." She kisses my lips before grabbing her nightdress and opening the door to an excited Ellie.

"Happy Valentine's Day, my Pooh Bear." Ana picks her up and they walk away chatting.

I jump in and take a quick shower before throwing on jeans and a polo. I lean against the doorway in the kitchen just watching my girls cook breakfast.

"Make sure and whisk the eggs slowly." Ana shows her how to whisk and Ellie squeals in delight that she's able to help cook. One thing we both noticed was that Ellie is eager to learn. If Ana is cooking she always brings Ellie into the kitchen to "help" and when she is reading a book Ellie always goes to grab a book and mimics what Ana does. It a beautiful thing to watch. We obviously have no idea how Leila treated her when no one was around but the therapist says when he brings up her mommy Ellie acts scared and screams for her mommy Ana. We had hoped that Elliot could shine some light on how they all interacted when we visited him but beside refuse anything that had to do with Leila or Ellie, he didn't really say anything. I told him we could get a DNA test but he said he never wanted to be a father and sure as hell didn't want to raise some whores kid. It shocked me that he was talking about Ellie so horribly. Something in him changed after talking to Carrick and now I don't know who Elliot Grey is anymore. 

Elliot is still in jail but now he is being charged with just assaulting a police officer and of course assaulting Carrick instead of murder. The coroner's report discovered Carrick died from cardiac arrest instead of the beating he received from Elliot.

Elliot was sentenced to a year in jail and will have to pay 50,000 dollars but it's better than the alternative. The police officer is planning on suing him because he was out of work for nearly two months since his shoulder was broken when Elliot attack him. Elliot is planning on leaving Seattle when he is released from jail. He just wants to find a new place and start over without the memory of his father's betrayal. I'm sad because I'm gonna miss my him but I also understand he needs to get away from this town and start new.

"Daddy Chris, look whats wes makin." Ellie brings me out of my thoughts. She is happily stirring the eggs and every once and a while grabs a piece of already cooled bacon.

"Those are some good looking eggs. Did you do this all by your self?" I kiss her forehead

"Yeps me dos it all me selp. Yous like?" She picks up the wooden spoon and shows me the overly scrambled eggs.

"Yummy, you sure can good Pooh Bear." I take the bite before tickling her and grabbing our plates and sitting them at the table. Ellie has her own booster chair between Ana and me, so she running towards it with her sippy cup of orange juice.

"Happy Valentine's Day. Sorry, I never replied in the bedroom, but your mouth is good at making me forget stuff." I wrap my arms around Ana and walk her towards the table.

"Yummy yummy yummy. Wes do good, mommy Ana." Ellie praises as she finishes her last bite.

"Yes, baby girl we did an amazing job." We spent the rest of the morning watching Dinosaur Train, Team Umizoomi and reading. My mom is going to watch Ellie for the weekend and both of them couldn't be happier. It's like my mom is 20 years younger when Ellie is around. They go on spa days and every Saturday without fail my mom and Ellie have a movie marathon and sleepover. It's adorable seeing them both sprawled out on the living room floor Sunday morning when we arrive. One morning I walked in and there was popcorn thrown all over the place and "Tinker Bell's" main menu was on a loop. Ana took about a dozen pictures that now Grace our family photo album.

As I'm driving to moms house, Ellie and Ana are singing New Kids on The Block's "You got the right stuff" at the top of their lungs. I swear between this two singing and Mia's high-pitched normal voice I'm gonna need hearing aid before I'm 30.

"Thanks again for watching her." I kiss my moms cheek before lifting Ellie for a final hug.

"We girls are gonna spend the afternoon making cookies and then eat them all while watching The Wizard of Oz and Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. We might gain a few pounds but we'll be happy as pie."

"oooohhhhh, I wanta pie. What pie?" Ellie asks as we all giggle at how happy she is to be in my mom's arms.

"See you ladies in 2 days. Love you both." Ana and I get to the car and drive back towards the apartment. We thought about going out of town but decided to just relax for a few days. What she doesn't know is that Mia was setting up a romantic dinner while we were at moms house.

"Close your eyes, baby." I lead her onto the balcony that has flowers, candles, and music awaiting us. She gasps when she opens her eyes. I grab her face and kiss her with all the love I feel for her.

"You are everything I have ever wanted and I just wanted to show you how much I love you," I say while leading her towards the table where all her favorite foods are on display.

"Love you too. Thank you for making my world complete."
