Red Is Not My Color

Calling Dr Greene

Ana
Christian and I have been married for three years and we are finally having our first child. According to our families it's about time. Kate and Elliott finally had her winter wedding with Mia and Ethan. They turned Christians day into a double ceremony a little over a year after they actually married. Between kids that is. Mia had another set of twins boys again. Garret Emory And Grayson Alexander Kavanagh. Kate and Elliott had a girl named Penelope Rose Grey. Elizabeth finally got pregnant and we are due the same day. Gage is thrilled and Sarah is too. Christian is nervous, but happy. Of course all the grandparents are thrilled to have more grand grandchildren. Gabby won't stop chattering away about my and Gages baby bring very special. She won't say why and smiles and visits her friends who go from visiting me to visiting Gage and Elizabeth said she thought she felt ghosts touching her stomach.
Elizabeth
I have been telling Ana and Gage that I have been feeling like a cold hand touching my tummy and the baby gets so revved up by the touch it won't stop moving around. I feel the cold but haven't seen them yet. Gage smiles and says they are talking to the babies. Babies, there's only one on the sonogram. He just smiles at me. I and Ana are due anytime now. My bag is by the door and so am I. Ana and I have back to back appointments today. So I get up and Gage gets me to the car and buckles me inside. He gives me my pillow to put in front of my tummy to cushion me from hitting anything. Yea a pillow will stop an air bag.
Ana
We are headed to Dr Greene's office for hopefully our last checkup before the baby is born. Elizabeth and I have some books we want to exchange since we are going to be there at about the same time as each other. The guys can chat and we can as well. My back has been bugging me all night. I want to evict this womb invader today please dear God.
Christian
I heard that Ana, you invited the baby they didn't invade you lol I do believe you were quite receptive to inviting the baby producer into your womb lol.
Ana
Oh hush baby producer.
Christian
That is Ethan I believe. Four children in two productions he's better than Elliott. Let's go woman. Dr Greene awaits. Good Lord your book bag is heavy. Hope Elizabeth's books are lighter than yours. I help her to the car and Taylor takes the bag and Sawyer drives with Taylor riding passenger side.

We don't notice the man watching us from the nearby coffee shop. He pulls out a photo of a very pale Carla holding her newborn daughter with her husband both smiling for the camera. He fondly touches the photo and recalls that moment.
Albert Thomas
I look at my friends scarred face and says you know you could have went back to them. They would have loved you for you.
Frank Lambert
I just couldn't go back like this and surgeons did all they could do. We have more than enough now to be able to protect my daughter and grandchild. I thank you very much for all you have done. Can you get a photo of my grandchild for me?
Albert Thomas
Of course I can. They still don't know you bought the home next to them. I was able to access the offshore accounts and they are in your regular accounts. I have a surgeon ready to complete the total rebuild of your face. Are you sure you want to use Richard Thomas as your latest name and say we are long lost brothers?
Frank/Richard
Yes, that way I can eventually be around Ana and my grand baby. I have missed so much of her life and I don't want to any more. So you are really in love with her best friends mom for real?
Albert
Yes and I never thought I would until I was around them so much. Carla set us up. I am getting married after you heal so you can be my best man.
Frank
You sure about that? It might not go well. I could turn out worse than I am now.
Albert
Please have a positive attitude and let's get you signed in at the hospital.

Three hours later Frank is being operated on and Elizabeth and Ana are in labor, but early stages. Dr Greene has an office full of overdue pregnancies and tells Gage and Christian to monitor the time between contractions or if their water breaks to get the to the hospital and call her.
Ana
Christian calm down okay the labor is twelve minutes apart and my water hasn't broken at all. I will let you know. Let's eat something good. You know like hot chocolate with a banana in it and marshmallow.
Christian
Really you want hot chocolate with marshmallows and bananas. Okay let's see if Gail can concoct that. I find Gail in the kitchen and she has it already made for Ana. She says it's her usual after a visit to dr Greene's office.
Taylor
I know Albert Thomas is still watching out for Ana, but the guy I saw him with today I don't know who he is, but the guy has battle scars from being injured somewhat badly. He has what looks like a photo in his hands and looks sadly in our direction. I had someone follow Albert and then his friend. Neither are a threat. I suspect the other guy might be Ana's real father. I have known that people injured that badly disappear from their loved ones lives because of how bad they look. Frank's body was never found.
Ana
Hey anyone, someone please help me. I fallen after my water broke and I can't get up. Help please.
Christian
Omg what is that you are laying in. So your water broke and you slipped a fell in it. Okay let's get you cleaned up. Gail clean up on aisle four. I tell Taylor to call Dr Greene, my mom and the families and get the car out front. I carry Mrs Clumsy to clean her up and change her into something looser. I grab her hospital bags. I head to the elevator and Taylor and I arrive at the car, but we forgot something as we close the car doors Sawyer is carrying Ana out of the service elevator to the car.
Ana
You forgot something important. Me. I cringe in pain as Sawyer gets in the passenger side. And we're off. Four minutes apart.
Meanwhile at the Anderson's
Elizabeth
Sarah can you get my bag to the car, my water broke as I was showering. Get a couple of towels and a couple of trash bags for the car seat and Gage and let's have this baby.
Sarah
Okay I have everything, but Gage fainted. Everything is in the car I have smelling salts so he should be good after I use them on him. Hey you knew he was a bit squeamish when you married him lol.
Gage
Okay let's go mom. My mother drives us to the hospital while Elizabeth informs me she's called dr Greene's office, but she got her answering service. They will tell her to meet us at the hospital. I jump out of the car and grab the last wheel chair and gets Elizabeth in the thing and goes t sign her in when I see Taylor and Christian coming in the ER door to sign in who? Sawyer brings Ana in a wheel chair asking if they forgot something important again? I am laughing my butt off until my mom says hey they didn't faint on her.
Sarah
They just forgot her. Lol. But they have Sawyer.
Ana
Yes but Gail had to have him collect me and bring me.
Three hours and a very very busy Dr Greene has delivered ten babies.
Christian
I look at Ana and my children sleeping peacefully. Ana had a girl and a boy. Theodore Raymond and Phoebe Grace Grey. Both very healthy and a very smooth birth except when Taylor and I forgot her twice. We will never live that down.
Gage
Elizabeth and mom decided to have me stay in the waiting room after I fainted at hearing some please get this baby out of me now. I agreed with them. An hour later mom came and said sit down son please.
Sarah
Okay here's the deal, they are all healthy just on the small side. Identical in every way three boys. They look exactly like Elizabeth. Do you want to say hello to your sons?
Gage
Yes I do.

Two days later
Frank
I look at my new grandchildren and they are beautiful in every way. The doctor has told me the surgery went well on my face and once it heals he could fix the other issue as well.
Albert
Sarah is so happy and I tell her that my friend had his first surgery and after he heals we can make wedding plans. She knows a little about Richard and knows I want him as my best man, Right now he is in a wheel chair, but the surgeon said he has to heal from the facial reconstruction before he could get the surgery to help him walk again.
Six months Later
Frank/Richard
I am standing beside Albert as his best man and long lost brother. I see my daughter with her husband and her six month old twins on their laps. I am smiling and Albert is the reason I am alive now. He also saved my family that day as well. Thanks to his friends my daughter and my wife weren't killed that day. He hired people constantly to make sure they stayed safe at all times. Albert actually was able to get me in some photos of the families and even some with me, Ans, Christian and the twins. How he did that was amazing.
Carla
I watch as Richard, known as Alberts brother is having his picture taken with Ana, Christian and the twins. Albert sees me looking and he waves at me.
Raymond
I know that look on Carlas face, it's like she's looking at a ghost when she sees Richard. I just leave it alone for now. She has never stopped loving Frank Lambert and this guy looks and sounds like him. I think it's him. But I don't want to lose my wife and daughter, so I just ignore my gut feelings.
The Grey's, Anderson's, Steele's, and Thomases all had a great time at the wedding.
It was the beginning of a lifetime of love and family events which now included a new family member from days gone by. Frank never revealed himself as anything other than Richard Thomas. He married one of Graces good friends a couple of years later and the families became very close knit. They added seven more grandchildren as the years went by.
On the day of Richards funeral, three letters were given out. One to Raymond, one to Carla and one to Ana.

To Raymond
I thank God you became father to Anastasia in my place you did a great job. I am sure you knew who I was when you saw me at Alberts wedding.
I can't thank you enough
Frank Lambert AKA Richard Thomas Husband to Carla and Allison.

To Carla
I am so sorry for leaving you the way I did, but they hurt me so badly there was no way they could repair the damage until right before Alberts wedding. I know you knew it was me. I saw how well Raymond took care of you and Ans, so I decided to keep on being Richard Thomas. It gave me the opportunity to be near my daughter and her children. Then I found Allison and I was able to get even closer by way of marrying Graces closet friend.
Love you always
Frank Lambert/Richard Thomas

To my daughter Anastasia
I know Gabby told you who I am and that you always knew I was protecting you somehow. Yes I am psychic as well. It drove my parents crazy. They thought I had imaginary friends until things started moving when they were alone in a room. My ghost were protective too. I got to watch you at a distance and Albert helped with the rest of it. You are very special and the children are as well. I will be part of your invisible and unseen protectors ghost and spirit wise. Sorry about leaving you, but my injuries would have scared you too much. Raymond was and is a good father to you.
I will love you always your long lost father and now I can be there in an instant
Frank Lambert/Richard Thomas

Ana
I look and Frank is standing by me, Christian, our five children with Gabby smiling and her ghostly group talking to all the kids and they are all talking back. They all freaked Christian out when he saw them doing it. He has finally gotten used to it. But Gage and his six children have group discussions with a lot of ghosts and spirits. It even frightens me.
Carla
I see Frank's ghost by Ana an I smile and he waves at me. I nod to him.
This is just the end of a new beginning and Frank's ghost can be there for his family now.

The end
Hope you enjoyed the story.
