Fifty Shades After

Chapter 45

Grace POV

We enjoy our high calorie lunch and head back to Escala. We ladies in the back are just chatting away as Ana falls asleep in the front seat. We must have worn her out. I am glad we had a ladies day, something we should do more often. We arrive at Escala and Sawyer attempts to wake Ana with no luck and I see Gail reach into her purse and grab her phone. "Jason we just arrived back from shopping and we wore poor Ana out to where she is asleep and doesn't want to wake. Can you come and take her upstairs while we grabs the bags"? I hear a reply and she hangs up." Taylor is on his way Mrs Grey". "Such a loyal man that Taylor". Mia looks confused at Gail. "Why didn't Sawyer just carry her instead? Why call Taylor down just for that"? "Its your brothers preference. Taylor Sawyer and I never question your brothers choices. If that is what makes him comfortable then so be it for me". I never understood how particular my son could be. We see Taylor come out of the elevator and chuckles at the sight of Ana asleep leaning against the door. He opens the door slowly while placing his hand to where her head won't fall. Once open he picks her up bridal style as if she weighs nothing at all. "So you guys broke poor Ana with shopping"? he chuckles at us. I respond "Had to make sure we had absolutely everything for the wedding. She also got some actual things she needs for a change. But we had a wonderful day. Are the men back yet"? "Not yet ma'am they decided to walk the pier after lunch. they sound be home shortly".  I nod and gather the wedding dress bag, walking it over to our vehicle so I don't accidentally leave it here along with her shoes wedding lingerie and jewelry bag with multiple boxes inside. As I leave our car, we see Christian's  gray Audi A6 come into the garage. We start for the elevator with Sawyer carrying all the bags in the service elevator. The boys manage to catch us before the elevator leaves. I ask "How was you day boys"? "It was nice mother. Where is Ana? She went with you correct"? I chuckle "She is already upstairs we girls broke her and she crashed on the way home. Taylor came and got her". He nods his head. Mia asks "Why are you particular who carry's Ana around? Gail called poor Taylor down just to carry her upstairs. When Sawyer could have just done it himself". I shake my head at her audacity but am curious myself.

Christian POV

  Mia asks "Why are you particular who carry's Ana around? Gail called poor Taylor down just to carry her upstairs. When Sawyer could have just done it himself". I roll my eyes at her. "Taylor has known Ana since we started dating has been there for her under circumstances that no one should have to see their bosses girlfriend. He has supported her and cared for her when I couldn't. I trust him with her life and that of Ted's. So I know nothing will befall her. Sawyer knew that if Taylor wasn't around he could have handled the situation. Obviously I trust him as he is her personal body guard, but Taylor is always at the top of the list". She nods but still looks confused. "Mia there is much no one knows about be besides a select few. Taylor is one as is Gail and Ana. Since I have their absolute trust and loyalty I can trust him with Ana its very simple. Ana is my world there for I am trusting Taylor with protecting it. Simple. Now how was shopping? Did she find a dress"?  Mia becomes animated "She found the most beautiful dress. Fits her perfectly she looks like a princess. She also found many things that she needed until the babies are born". My Ana actually purchased things for herself with my money. The thought makes me smile inside. "Was that all the bags I saw Sawyer carrying into the elevator"? "Actually yes all the wedding stuff is put away to go to moms for the wedding. We bought dresses for the wedding but everything else is Ana's. We girls helped her spend  money on clothes that will make her look so cute". I smile at that "She already looks cute Mia but I understand what you are saying. So what do you say we all stay for dinner and just have a nice relaxing family day and night"? Everyone looks at me weird. Dad responds "That would be wonderful son, maybe you can talk to Ana about the twins nursery". I nod in agreement. We reach my apartment and all descend into the living room and begin talking about wedding plans and what they did today. I walk into the bedroom to see my girl and kiss her as I have been away from her for too long.
