Fifty Shades After

Chapter 54

Christian POV

They took Ana for her emergency C-section and once again I'm in the waiting room just waiting to hear how things went, seeing how my girls are. I called dad when it was decided she was having the surgery and he came over as soon as he could and Ray is on his way now. Taylor and Sawyer are watching the room, because of the trial being a big deal in the media and we don't need this to be publicized. Mom is with Ana in surgery and promised to let us know when she is out and the babies are Ok. It feels like it's taking longer than an hour to get this done, I just want to know everything is ok. The doors to the waiting room open, I'm hoping it's mom or Dr Greene but it's Ray looking flustered.

"Christian what happened? She was fine at the wedding". I sigh "The pressure of the trial was too much, seeing Jose and Carla Jose threatening to come back and get her and the baby, she belongs to him, was just too much. Her blood pressure shot through the roof and her body couldn't handle it. She had been unconscious since the courthouse and since her body wasn't bringing it down on it's own, the doctor advised an emergency C-section. Supposedly this will correct the issue and Ana will wake up". Ray just shook his head. "How bad was it the today"? "Well bad Ray pretty fucked up of you ask me. The defense attorney was one of the many Jose brought in to torture and rape Ana, kept stating that it was a loving relationship, not rape or kidnapping. Ana informed the states attorney and he was called out and he fucking denied it. But implicated himself and that's were it got rough. Ana pressed charges on him right then and there all were found guilty based on the evidence presented. The attorney was disbarred and sentenced as well. Ana confirmed that if we were married I would be the girls legal father and then asked that instead of Ms Steele she be addressed as Mrs Grey. Pandemonium started and Flynn and Taylor were getting her out when Jose threatened her. Then she collapsed and mom brought her here while the entire courtroom was forced to remain until it was adjourned". "Damn Christian nothing is simple for my little girl? How long till we know what is going on"? Dad answered "Should be soon they took her back almost an hour and a half ago". We wait for word as patiently as we can.

Another hour passes when mom comes into the waiting room a smile on her face. "Guys the babies are doing good. Baby A had a breathing issue but everything is ok now, baby B is great bigger than her sister. Ana now there were a few complications. Part of the reason her blood pressure was elevated because of tissue left behind after Teddy was born. When the babies got bigger and started to irritate the tissue and it became infected. She will be fine, Dr Greene got it all out, did an antibiotic wash out of her uterus and has her on antibiotics. She is in recovery and will be transferred into her room shortly. Now until we can see Ana, let's go see these amazing little girls".

We walk to the nursery viewing window and mom enters the nursery. She points out the little angels who have been tormenting Ana for the last month. They look adorable, similar but not identical. Both look like their mother. One has blond hair the there dark, both look tinier than Ted did when he was born. Mom motions for me to come to the nursery door. There is a nurse waiting there as well, she asks "Are you Christian Grey their father"? I am too stunned to verbally reply so I nod my head and a bracelet that is pink is attached to my wrist. "This is to identify you as the babies daddy and allows you to come into the nursery to send time with them. Their mother has the same bracelet as well. So Mr Grey lets meet your daughters". I walk over to the incubators and look at these beautiful little girls and feel an overwhelming urge to love and protect them. They look so much like their mother but they have button noses and long graceful fingers. "They are so tiny. How long will they have to be here in the hospital"? "Depending on the next couple of days they may go home with you. They are over 5 lbs and breathing well on their own". The nurse placed a baby in my arms and she felt like a feather. I whisper to the baby "I promise to love you and your sister just like your brother. You ladies are my daughter's and you will always be protected. Uncle Elliot and Uncle Taylor will make sure you are never alone with little boys along with your big brother Ted. You will have pretty clothes that Aunt Mia and Aunt Kate will get you, making you look like little princesses. I can't wait for your mommy to meet you". I kiss my daughter on her head and go to see the other little girl. "You are absolutely beautiful my little angel. By the look on your face, I can see some of daddy's personality there already. Your the one who's going to give me gray hair, I can tell. I love you guys so much". I kiss my other daughter on the head and I see mom coming towards me. "Ana has been moved to her room. She is still unconscious but making movements. If you want I'll stay with the girls and help the nurses supplement them with formula until Ana is ready to breastfeed". I nod give one last took at my daughter's before I go to check on Ana.

I enter Ana's room and kiss her forehead. " The girls are so beautiful and precious baby. I can't wait for you to meet them because they need their mama. Please wake up my love. I need to see those beautiful blue eyes". As I'm talking I see her moving her head like she wants to wake up. Her hands move like she is fighting with herself to wake up. I sit watching her a little while before I see her start to come back to us...."Thank God" I mutter as she looks at me.

Ana POV

I am struggling to get my body to listen to my mind. My entire body hurts and I don't remember any reason to feel like this. I remember being in court, feeling strange then nothing. I hear someone talking to me but I can't decipher what is being said. I need to find out what is going on, and force my eyes to open. I see Christian sitting in a chair beside my bed and hear him mutter "Thank God". I look around the room and notice I'm in a hospital bed. I panic because I do not feel the girls moving. "Christian what is going on? I don't feel the babies did something bad happen to them? Why am I here? Why do I hurt so badly"? He walks over to the bed, grasps my hand "Ana love your blood pressure got dangerously high at court and you blacked out. We brought you to the hospital, and your blood pressure wasn't coming down very much. Dr Greene said you had eclampsia which meant that as soon as the babies were born it would go away and you'd wake up. I was torn n what to do, but I needed you and the babies safe so I gave the Dr permission. Part of why your blood pressure was high was because the midwife that delivered Ted didn't make sure all the tissue was gone so as the girls got bigger they irritated it and became infected. Dr Greene took care of it, washed out your uterus with antibiotics plus she has you on some antibiotics through the IV".
I take all this information in "How are the girls? Are they healthy are they good"? He chuckles "They are tiny little balls of perfection. One is a little bigger than the other but both are over 5 lbs breathing on their own waiting for mommy to give them love and kisses". I sigh and lay back down stunned by all that has happened. "When do you think I'll be able to see my babies"? "Let me get the doctor and she what she says". Christian leaves as I sit here and assess what has happened. I had my babies and I don't remember it. Jose once again causing issues with my health. I sigh and then flashes come back to me from the courtroom 'I'll fucking get you back and that baby you belong to me bitch!' I shudder at the memory because that is what shot my heart rate through the roof. I hope the trial is close to cover because I don't want to have this prolonged and cause me more grief.

As I lay back pondering the events of the last week or so I hear a knock at the door. I answered for whomever to.comein and I see Carrick and daddy enter the room. Taylor and Sawyer are stationed outside the door but looking at Taylor I can see he is happy for us. "Hey guys". Daddy replies first "Annie I'm so glad to see you looking better. I've heard how much your pressure was up and it scared me. The girls are beautiful look just like their mama". Carrick responds "That they do....but from what I hear one of those angels has daddy's temperament and Christian is swearing she's gonna be the one to give him gray hair". I chuckle at this. "I wouldn't be surprised. Carrick what happened after I was taken to the hospital. Is the trial over, don't need to go back"? He sighs "The judge lost her patience with the attorney trying to get his clients free. She sentenced them all, no early parole for any of them, no contact at all in prison once they get out. If there is more time will be added. The judge found out about funds set aside to continue to pay for the living circumstances you were in, is set aside for the twins as a college fund of sorts. Elena's fortune was set aside for Teddy. Marty is combining the two funds and splitting them evenly between the three. Also all properties owned by the accused belong to.you now my dear. You have several businesses and homes all around the world. This is the judges idea of compensation for the crimes committed against you". I look at him in shock. "Wow ok that is a lot to digest.... I'll worry about this in a few days, Carrick I'm sure you'll safeguard everything for me until I get.out and can figure things out"? "Of course dear I'll keep the trains moving".  "Now that that is settled....I'm ready to see my babies".
