Protecting Me

Chapter 11

APOV

"It's my wedding day!" I squeal as Kate, Mia, Ellie and I enjoy our breakfast. That's right I asked Christian if we could get married sooner than October and he was all for it. 'As long as you're happy, that's all I care about, baby,' he said, then grabbed his phone to get us a planner asap. Now here we are two weeks later and I am about to become Mrs. Christian Grey.  *Happy Dance Time!*

"I can't believe you got all the planning done in just two weeks! When your man wants something done he doesn't let anything or anyone stand in his way." I nod but a grunt from the hairstylist gets my attention so I stay still so she can finish my updo. I have my hair pinned to the side with curls. Kate loaned me her yellow anklet that matches our light-yellow theme. I'm also wearing the necklace Christian's grandmother wore on her wedding day, although it has been redesigned and now has diamonds added to the necklace, it looks amazing. Also, I'm wearing the diamond earrings my father gave me for my sixteenth birthday. Mia wanted to make us a "something new" so she has taken on our wedding cake and if the cake turns out like her designs, it will be perfect. She really has fallen in love with being a decorator. My something blue is from Nick, he had a customized blue and yellow picture frame with a picture from our engagement party and a picture from one of our family days. I am sitting on Christian's lap and we are both smiling with so much love. Underneath the pictures in gray "Ana & Christian". It will have a special place on my nightstand. 

"We already planned out what we wanted after we got engaged, so we only needed someone to create said plans, easy peasy...  Are we done?" I ask the makeup artist, with her nod I stand to check my reflection.

"Holy shit." Although the makeup is light it looks perfect. I was worried that she wouldn't take my 'natural look' serious and I would end up looking like a doll. 

My mom and I haven't been on the best terms since I quit medical school and told her about opening a bakery. She told me she was disappointed that I would give up something that would make her proud over something that won't be successful. Once we announced our pregnancy she took me aside before she and Ray left and expressed how disappointed she was with me. She said the least I could do was wait until we were married to trap Christian because now he doesn't have to marry me.  For some reason, it broke my heart that she would say that but I was also extremely pissed off at her,  but of course, it only took her calling telling me she was looking out for my best interest for me to forgive her. That was a mistake on my part and she was horrible to me again when I called to tell her Christian and I was getting married sooner.  She told me I wasn't her priority and she would see me when she sees me. I broke down and couldn't stop crying which spiked my blood pressure and I woke up in a hospital bed with Christian sobbing beside me. I decided to I needed to make myself happy and only worry about me, Christian and our children. 

Apparently, she and Ray came up early this morning for the wedding but I haven't seen her yet. Once the press got wind of our wedding happening sooner our faces appeared on every copy of magazines. The next day I got a text stating that they were coming and hoped we could all take a 'family" portrait together. 

"Let's get you dressed." Mia squeal as Kate unzips my perfect dress. The four of us with Ellie spent an entire day trying on dresses. We found the bridesmaids and flower girl dress right away but we didn't find my dress until we visited the last store. The dress is off the shoulder long sleeve lace wedding dress.

"You look amazing, Ana." I look up to see Grace, Mia, and Kate crying.

"You look like a princess." My dad says as we hug. "Are you ready, sweetheart?" I nod

"I have never been more ready in my entire life. I can't thank you enough for always loving me and even though we didn't see you all the time, I knew you were there for me. I love you, Dad." He wraps his arms around me and hugs me tight. 

"I am the luckiest man alive because I am blessed to have you as my daughter. I love you so much, Ana." A squeal coming from the door causes us both to jump and turn towards my gorgeous daughter with a huge smile gracing her face. 

"Introducing, Princess Ellie." I look up to see Mia in her light-yellow bridesmaid dress. She and Kate both are wearing a light-yellow knee length dress.

I almost ruin my makeup when I see my little angel walk into the room in her white tulle filled flower girl dress. The dress has a matching yellow sash and the bottom has embroidered yellow flowers. She has a tiara and her flower petal basket.

"Oh, my goodness, look at you." I kneel down to give her a hug.

"You are the most beautiful girl in the world. Are you ready to walk down with auntie Kate and drop pedals for me?" She smiles and nods before running back to Mia.

"Let's get me married!" I squeal and follow my family out of the dressing room.

"You look amazing, Mrs. Grey." Christian kisses my neck as we dig into our pork tenderloin dinner.

"Thank you, Mr. Grey. I didn't think you could get sexier but when I saw you in the tux I almost came instantly."

"mmhmm, baby don't get me started when we still have two hours left of the shindig." I laugh as he sighs in my ear

"I would say we could sneak out but with both Kate and Mia on patrol I don't think they'll allow it." I hear a throat clearing and look up to see my mother and Ray standing in front of our table.

"The wedding was nice but we need to go, Ray has a golf game in the morning and we are both ready to leave," Carla says as if she isn't at her own daughter's wedding.

"Mom, you haven't even spent any time with me at all today. Can't you bring a chair over here and talk a little while?" I ask hoping the mother gene will activate in her brain.

"Ana..." She sighs and shakes her head. "We already sat through this sham of a wedding and now we are going to do what we want to do. Maybe at the next one, we can talk. I would say congratulations but we both know I don't mean it. Good luck because you'll need it, bye." Without waiting for me to reply they both walk towards the door.

"I'm sorry, baby. I'll tal." I put my hand up to stop him.

"I am so over them being all about themselves, so today that stops. They don't matter anymore. My dad, Nick, and Kate have truly only been my real family for a long time. That was until I met you and your family. Now, I have Ellie and our little boy which makes me the luckiest girl in the world." I kiss him and go back to eating.

We've been eating, talking and dancing all night and my feet are starting to kill me.

"Let's kiss Ellie good night and start our honeymoon," I whisper then place a kiss on his neck.

We are spending the first few nights here in Seattle. We plan on going on a month-long honeymoon but want to make sure Ellie is settled first. We bought my mom an iPad so we could skype with Ellie. We also purchased copies of her 4 favorite books so we can continue our nightly ritual of reading a story together.

"I can't wait to get you naked, wife." He wraps his arms around my waist and squeezing my butt. I laugh and shake my hand before we make our way towards our family to say goodnight.
