Protecting Me

CPOV

"Baby... Chris... CHRISTIAN, Wake-up!" I'm jolted awake by my girls screaming. I try to get my eyes to focus and I see that it's 4:30 in the morning.

"What's wrong, baby?" I turn to Ana and see he leaning against the bathroom door frame.

"My water just broke. Little mans commmingg.." She growls out the last part as she grabs her stomach and tries to breathe. I jump out of bed tripping over my feet and land on my knee in front of her.

"Shit, Are you okay?" She is trying hard not to laugh but soon a contraction hits her and we are both dressed and in the car within 10 minutes. Luckily Gail was in town this weekend so she is gonna watch Ellie for us. Taylor is driving to the hospital like a bat out of hell. If it wasn't for Ana being in so much pain I would be chewing his ass out. What should have been a 30-minute drive took us only 10 minutes due to his driving plus almost no traffic.

"How can I assist you, sir? I can help you in any way. " The lady behind the nurse's station purrs the last part at me. I feel Ana stiffen next to me and I know that this lady is about to get her ass chewed out.

"Lady, if it wasn't for me about to give birth to our son. I would come across this desk and rip your ass apart. Women like you are what give all women a bad name. Now, do your job and admit me because I'm not about to give birth to my son on your nasty ass floor." The lady looks shocked but nods her head and quickly calls a CNA to push Ana to her room. After about 20 minutes Dr. Thomas comes in and examines Ana.

"Wow, Ana, you are already dilated to 9, it's almost time to push. I'm sorry to say that you are now unable to receive any pain medicine." I start to have a panic attack because I don't want my girl in any pain but I also don't want our son to be in danger. I don't realize I've been lost in thought for about 10 minutes until I hear the words.

"Okay, Ana and Christian are you guys ready to meet your son?" I stop pacing and look at my girl who is wearing a gorgeous smile and we both nod. It's time to meet my son. I can't believe the moment is finally here.

"I love you so much. Thank you for giving me the most amazing life a man could ask for." I kiss her lips and hold her hand. It's the only help I can give her and if she breaks a finger or two it's the price I'll pay.

"WAAAAAAAAAA" That's my boy. I can't stop the tears that flow down my face. I lean down to Ana and whisper over and over again how much I love her and thank her for giving us our boy.

"Would you like to hold your son, Mrs. Grey?" We both look up at Dr. Thomas and nod. What kind of question is "Would you like to hold your son?" Duh, of fucking course we want to hold him.

"Chris, he looks just like you. He has 10 perfect fingers and toes." She kisses her fingers one by one. As I look my son over I notice he is the perfect combo of me and Ana. He's got a little bit of copper hair and my chin but he has her nose and pouty lips.

"I can't wait to see whose eyes he has." She whispers as I hold my son for the first time. I know he's only been born for less than 10 minutes but I can't imagine my life or our life without our Teddy Bear.

"You are helping daddy keep mommy and sister safe and the boys away, aren't you?" I whisper against his forehead. He's in my arms for about 20 minutes before he starts to whimper and the nurse recommends Ana try to breastfeed him. He latches onto his mother's breast like a starving man and it's a magical sight to see my wife feeding our son.

"Our baby boy looks just like you right down to the perfect grey eyes." I look and see that what I thought would be perfect blue eyes like his mother are actually my eyes looking back at me. It's a magical moment seeing a baby version of yourself.
