Ana POV

"Fucking shit Ana, what the hell"? I feel scared "What did you remember Christian"? He say two words "New York". I look  away with tears in my eyes and nods. "There are something's I don't want you to remember Christian, I don't. I am a very selfish person I don't need you reliving that shit. It's done and over with". He nods but i can tell he is  still stunned. I get up to leave "I can't do this, I thought I could but I can't". I  head for the door and he gets out of bed and catches me before I get there. "You can't run from things Ana yeah, do I want this shit in my head, hell no but if it gets me back to where I know you and my kids, gets me back to where I can trust this feeling that I'm feeling then I welcome it". I turn in his arms "And what feeling might that be Mr Grey"? He looks deep into my eyes push me against the door and mutter "Fuck the paperwork" and kisses me with full on passion. I am stunned, he has my arms pinned above my head just like in the elevator at the Heathman Hotel in Portland after he took me there when I was drunk. Suddenly I respond to him and am kissing him back with equal passion. He pulls away looking at me with lust in his eyes. Then he nuzzles my neck, peppering kisses along my jawline and I incline my head to give him better access. He moans and I move my breasts into his chest wanting more. He continues his journey kissing my neck inching closer to my chest, my breath hitching in my throat. He let's go of my hands at this point and starts to explore my body.

"Christian should we be doing this? You don't remember me yet...even though I don't want to stop". He looks at me and kisses me again this time tenderly "I may not remember you 100% but I know what I feel, and before you say it, it's not just fucking lust. I want you...after you left last night I felt a void in my chest. I didn't like it. Just please don't run for me from what I'm remembering, good or bad". I nod "Just cut me some slack it's been hard the last few years". He nods but refuses to let me go, we walk to the hospital bed and he sits me on it touching some part of me. I would love to touch him, but I'm not sure if his aversion to touch is back or not. As we just sit in silence, Teddy walks back into the room. He looks confused "Mom why are you sitting on dad's bed"? Christian answers for me "I wanted to talk to mom better and she doesn't always like to answer me so I made her sit here. Wanna join us and tell me what you've been up to". Teddy jumps at the chance and launches into his many adventures. We are like his for a few hours when we are asked to leave so he can rest. He replies "I don't want you to leave guys. Talking like this has helped me more than anything". I chuckle "But you need to rest and from what I heard from the doctor earlier you get released tomorrow, since your doing so well". He sighs "Yes I know but I have no where to go. I don't want to go back to Leila's place". I chuckle again "I will figure something out.  More than likely you'll come home with me, I'll set up a room for you and you can get to know the kids". He looks happy at this "Really"? I shrug "Why not, it's your home also". He nods and hugs Teddy before we leave. I start to get up when I am grabbed by the wrist and kisses soundly on the lips. "Think we'll share a room"? I see he is hopeful, "Doubtful Mr Grey. We need to walk before we run". He groans "A Flynnism". I nod and walk towards the door. "Want Elliot to spend the night again? I can send him with clothes for tomorrow and I'll be by in the morning to pick you up"? He nods "If Elliot won't mind it would be nice not to be alone". "I'm sure Elliot won't mind at all. He loves you just like your entire family does". "Does that include you Mrs Grey"? I sigh "That has never been a question Christian,if I didn't love you I wouldn't have continued to look for you and would have moved on by now". "Mrs Grey that is not funny, at all. I may not have all my memories but I damn well know I am a possessive bastard". I chuckle "I don't need to be reminded of that Christian, not ever. However I need to let you know Derrick is anal about what he calls swears...he calls everyone out about it and has a jar at the house for those of us who forget...it's a dollar a swear". He raises his eyebrows "That is an industrious little man. I'll remember that". "He doesn't keep the money, he collects it for a year and he'll donate it to children's hospital or to a church for a food bank. If he knows a family in need he'll have me write a check and have it given to them". "That is one special little boy you've raised Ana. I am proud you are the mother of my children". "Please....I just explained to the kids all of them Ava too that not everyone has what we have. We are blessed and when we can, we need to share that blessing because one day we may not be blessed and we might need a helping hand ourselves". He sighs and lays down "That's what I'm talking about....you are not a gold digger, you are a true soul". I leave to room and head home to prepare for his arrival tomorrow.

I arrive home with Teddy and Sawyer finding all the kids playing tag outside. Teddy quickly loses interest in me and runs to join the kids playing. I go in the house and see Gail in the kitchen making dinner. "Hey Gail how's it been today"? "They have been good, you know I rarely have problems with them. They start stepping out of line and Taylor goes out and miraculously they are angels. How was Mr Grey today"? "Almost back to his old self. He gets released tomorrow Gail. I need to make up the in law suite down here". "For Mr Grey Ana"? "Nope for me....I'm gonna need to be down here soon anyways, just set it up now. I'll need help moving some of my things and clothes down here". "Why are you moving down here, you haven't used it since you had surgery". I chuckle "Well that's why between mom and Elliot I've been brow beat into knee and hip replacement. So I'm not going to be walking stairs any time soon". She sighs "Finally I have to say it's hurt watching you limp around here seeing you in pain". "Well that means you have 4 kids, an amnesiac, a cripple and Elliot all to contend with". She scoffs "Like I can't handle that, those kids listen to me very well, Christian doesn't cross me and since that one time Elliot talked back and made to do all the kitchen chores he is a model gentleman. Plus your easy, laptop phone and romcoms and your a happy girl. Plus I'll keep you calm with cake and ice cream". "A woman after my heart. Gail can you send some of the guys to Escala to get Christian's belongings I placed there. Move my stuff out of the master and move him back in". Gail sighs "If this is what you want, of course I'll ask the guys to do it. Just want to make sure you don't want the two of you together. I know how much you love that man... though sometimes I ask myself why" she says with a smile. "If we get back like that it's gonna take time. I've got 4 kids to worry about  they will always be my top priority. No matter if it's Christian himself". Gail nods "So does he know the sleeping arrangements yet"? I shrug "In so many words. He knows we're not staying in the same room. It's all adjustment. But we'll make it work...it's what we do".

The guys brought my things down because Taylor refused to allow me to  due to the knee, then they moved Christian's things into the master bedroom. I changed the linens and comforter, made it as close to what it was before he wasn't here. The extra fluffy towels, that I swear Gail waves a magic wand over to get them that soft and fluffy. His body wash and ties are back where they belong. I grab my charger cord and laptop and go down to my new room for the duration. I had dinner with the family tonight, Elliot is with his brother having taken an overnight case for him to have clothes for tomorrow. Sitting with the children hearing what they've done for the day, their crazy stories and jokes brings a lightness to my heart. "So guys do we wanna bathe tonight or tomorrow morning"? They look at each other "Tonight" and I groan. "Ok tonight we'll do boys first so get your stuff boys then you 3 ladies get your stuff ready. I'm staying downstairs for now, my knee has been hurting more so I'll sleep down here for a while". Ava looks at me "Aunt Ana is Uncle Christian coming to stay here when he's all better"? "Yes my dear he'll be here tomorrow morning, staying upstairs next to Derrick. Nothing changes just cause he's here. We do what we do, and we'll all be happy. Now you get to know him, not just through stories anymore". "Mom I can't wait to meet daddy I hope he likes me like he likes Parker". "Hailey girl he isn't going to like you...he's going to love you. All of you just give him time to get to know you guys again. You we're all very small when he was taken and for Ava and Derrick you weren't here at all. Trust me Christian will love you all...come on if he loves Elliot and we all know how much of a goof he is, then you guys are a shoo in. Now let's get bath's or it's no bedtime story tonight". They all rush off to get their bath's done and on to story time.
