A View Of You

Grace and Carricks Grandbabies

Grace
James and Allen joined our growing family and Mia adopted Cassie after her and James got married. I can't believe how much she has changed since she started therapy and working. She's getting her college degree as well. She has three children now. Carrick is very proud of her and we got news that Ana is in labor finally.
Christian
Ana called and said the babies are coming between a loud will you mind joining me and please be quick about it.Taylor drives us as fast as he can. We arrive as mom and dad arrive. Elliott and Georgia are already here. Mia and James arrive with the children and their nannies. Why are the nannies here with them? It doesn't make any sense. I have no time to think about that as I head to see Ana with Taylor on my heels. He has security in place for the babies. They are right by the doors.. I go in and Ana is being worked on and they are delivering one of my sons. I hold her hand as she is watching and finally the baby cries and I cut the cords as they deliver my other son. Then the girls come and Ana is getting exhausted. All are in good condition they are Theodore Raymond Grey 20 inches 5 pounds 3 ounces Thomas Christian Grey 20 inches 5 pounds 2 ounces. The girls are Anastasia Rose Grey 17 inches 3 pounds 12 ounces and Alexandra Grace Grey 16 inches 4 pounds 1 ounce. Ana fell asleep as soon as they said her babies were healthy. Security is on all the babies and Ana. My mind is still on why the nannies were here when they should have been with the kids at home. I call Taylor and have him ask Mia and James why the nannies didn't stay at home with the kids.
Mia
I can't believe this was Leila and don't know how she was able to do this, but she did. The supposed nannies took us by gunpoint and used us to get into the hospital and past Christians security to get to the quadruplets. They had people already on the inside and we either do as asked or they kill us and the quads.
James
Stay calm Mia, I think Taylor knows something is off. The kids are asleep and the fact we aren't leaving or the nannies aren't home with them is a huge clue and Christian looked suspiciously at them.
Taylor
A friend called and said Leila escaped and with three others. They walked out in doctors coats. I decided to move Ana and the babies with Grace and Christian creating a diversion in the waiting room. We called the police in and got the supposed nannies attention and grabbed the children while the police arrested them and found syringes and guns on them. They wouldn't tell us a thing.
Ana
I have my gun loaded where I am ready for anything at all. The babies were taken by helicopter to our home. Security is with them and waiting at home for the babies. I have four incubators with fake battery babies in them. One security is posted in the bathroom and one behind the door two outside the door. We are waiting on Leila, they have two and James and Mia are safe so far. Christian is somewhere, but we don't know where. Taylor last saw him with Carrick and Grace. He said Grace isn't answering her pages either.
Grace
You know you won't be able to get away with this. People most likely are looking for us now. The babies are with Ana and she won't let you near them.
Leila
Watch me, she can't be able to fight me too hard after giving birth to my and Christians babies. Plus she won't recognize the new dr coming in to see her and the babies now can she.
Christian
God are you delusional if you think I will go anywhere with you. Let alone with my children. Eventually you will be taken back to the hospital. This time one with bars. If you don't get shot by my security. Or the cops, who by this time have those so called nannies with James and Mia. My phone goes off yet again. Then it rings, stops, rings, stops and that's my signal that they caught someone. Then fifteen minutes later two rings, stops, then three rings, then stops, then one ring and stops. That means they have my location. Then graces goes off one ring, stops, three rings, stops, one ring stops. The a continual ringing on mine and moms phone which means they have a team about to burst into the room.
Leila
Stop those phones from ringing now. Christian answers an says yes Leila has a gun pointed at us, yes she is behind everything that happened today. Oh like you aren't partly to do with what's happening right now?
Grace
What are you talking about he has never liked you ever. Suddenly the door flies open and Leila points her gun at me and tells Taylor to put his gun down or I will die. She misses the movement behind us.
Sawyer
I have gotten in a position where I can get into Graces office from her other door that Leila had forgotten about and grab her gun and take her and handcuff her immediately. I check her pockets for needles. Christian is out of there like a shot to see if Ana is okay.
Christian
I see the guards on the floors out like a light. Both were guarding Ana's room. I walk in and see Ana holding a gun and two body guards restraint whoever this is. I recognize her as Elizabeth Morgan, apparently she had lost her marbles and was in the same place as well. So the plotted to get the babies.
Three months later all the kidnappers are now in jail cells maximum security.Gail had her baby boy Jason Edward Taylor jr. Sophie was thrilled to have a new sibling. Nannies were helping with all the babies. We found really good staff and mom had to as well. Mia and James accepted security and updates on their security alarms and cctvs. My dime of course. Leila will be spending a lot of time behind bars, so will her three other friends thirty years each.
Jason was very proud of his son Jason 22 inches long and 7 pounds 8 ounces. Very hungry boy. I gave them maternity and paternity leave. They finally found a great head of housekeeping. Gia Mateo's mother Angela. Then Angela's sister became head nanny in charge of all the nannies and hiring and firing of them. She got rid of three who didn't meet her standards for caring for children. Ana loves her and Angela. At first Gail was a little flustered, but we made her in charge of all our homes and other families staffs hiring and firing. She got a raise and so did Jason. Sophie makes money for her part in helping the household run smoothly. Georgia and Elliott enjoy watching us come and go from Ana's old house. He loves it there. Of course they can see us, but we can't see them. Ana and I decided to stop giving birth to children. She said we might adopt once the quads are in school.
Grace
I can't believe how much the grandchildren have grown in five years time. Georgia and Elliott decided to adopt this year. They were good parents of Georgia's only brother. He and his wife were killed in a car wreck while Elliott and Georgia were sitting for them. They left a month old daughter Grace Ann Schmidt, Sally Susan Schmidt 3, Thomas Allen Schmidt 5, Carl Joseph Schmidt 7. They fit in nicely and Ana's old home had bedrooms for all of them. The backyard however was changed by adding a playground like Christian had put in his backyard.
Carrick
I watch as all the grandkids play and see Gail joining the fun. She is having twins a boy and a girl this time. Jason watches as his namesake plays with all the other kids. He makes sure Gail is comfortable. She's due in a month. Mia is due about the same time. I smile at the whole group. Who knew we would have so many grandchildren and children in our yards. I smile at our wonderful luck.
Ana
I have great news, Christian and I were approved to adopt and we are expecting someone to join us today. Christian and I announce that. We also announce that Mia is our newest employee in mergers. She completed the merger of GEH With Lane Steele designs which I funded and she runs. Of course she has help lol.
Christian
We have a surprise and we don't know what to expect today, but they know our whole family is here today. But we have someone bringing a new family member. The bell rings. Ana and I head to the front and invite the caseworker back. The caseworker is not alone. We see two adults and three red headed boys looking at us from behind them. I bend down and introduce myself to the three blue eyed red headed boys. Identical boys about five years old. They each have a little backpack in their hands. I call Sawyer and have him arrange for three car beds to put in the biggest guest bedroom. We lead them to what was going to be their room. We show them the room they will share until we can figure something out.
Ana
I introduce myself as Ana Grey and this is Christian my husband and we would love if they want us as mommy and daddy once they get to know us. We know we can't replace their original parents. But we can continue doing the job of loving and caring for them if they wish. One says I am Philip Edward Thomas, this is Abraham Jacob Thomas and this is Gregory Adam Thomas we are five years old today. Christian makes a call and has someone bring three birthdays cakes, he asks what flavors all say chocolate please. What kind of toys for a present? Cars, building blocks legos, books. We need a bigger car. So want to meet cousins, siblings and friends?
Caseworker Johnson
We had to take a chance and bring them unannounced. Ana they just couldn't be separated and you did as expected you both accepted them as we hoped you would. It was sad their parents died then their guardians. Please don't die on them.
Christian
Well let's hope not, but we have family who would take them in a heartbeat. Let's sign the papers now.
Caseworker Adams
They are well behaved and don't ask for much at all. They sign everything and we tell them the final adoption is in a month.
Thirteen years later
Ten Grey's graduate high school one valedictorian, one salutatorian. All were exemplary students. Elliotts and Georgia's Carl had a bit of issues learning, but he finally realized he was over analyzing everything and corrected it. Now he is in college and doing great. He wants to be a doctor like Grace. Teaching ten kids to drive was a major event. We had to move to a bigger home and hire new staff. The Mateos brought in some of their better family members. They stopped talking to Gia when she broke up a friend of the family's marriage for money. Her husband got her pregnant and left her for a friend of hers. She somehow got half his wealth. Everyone was surprised, but no more than the new fling when he refused to marry her. But the rest of the Mateo family are incredibly hard workers and she gave them a bad name. They earned their bonuses every year. We gave Gail and Taylor our old home across the street from my old home.
Mia and James decided three was it for them. Cassie is a nurse now. She works close to her grandmother Grey. The twins graduated with ours. Caseworker Johnson attended the graduation and was so proud to see the boys get those diplomas together. She visited them often. She was a widow and lost her baby, so she decided to help place children in good homes. When the triplets came up, she contacted Grace and told her about them. Grace had Carrick get Christian on board and then me on board to adopt. Grace told her to just show up with them and we wouldn't turn her down. My mother in law has a manipulative side when it comes to children's needs. The Grey family is about to grow bigger. Christian got a call from an attorney of an old friend. Someone he went to college with. Apparently his friend married at ten years ago and left a will leaving his children to us. Well his wife and him went on a second honeymoon and the nanny was watching their three children. The island they were on was hit by a tsunami and both were killed. So the nanny called the attorney and we flew out to the reading of the wills. The nanny tried to get Christian to hire her. I saw gold digger dollars in her eyes. We paid her her severance pay and met the children. Charles Adrian Lawrence 7, Albert Louis Lawrence 5, and Rosa Maria Lawrence 2. All were very shy and we had everything packed up and moved. We sold the family homes and put the money in trust funds for the children. All the cars were donated to the staff members. Some we offered jobs in our homes, but only a few took the jobs. I of course weeded out the troll ups. Like the boob showing nanny.
Christian
I can't help laughing about the women you gave walking papers to. And the two men. Nice severance packages though. Most wouldn't do that. Why fire the me?
Ana
One was eyeing you and the other was looking at my ass way too often. You would have kicked his ass.
Christian
You are right, I know why you fired the frisky females too. I can't have you beating the nanny up when you find her naked on my desk lol Sorry Gia came to mind. You know her mom says that is still up on line.
Ana
I am not surprised at all. Did you hear she got taken to the cleaners by a guy who was helping her with her investments. Her ex had a trust fund for their child thank God. Her mom said she tried to get a job with us. She said that no Grey in their right mind would ever hire her. Here's for hoping we all stay in our right minds.
Christian
Amen to that. Let's get these sweethearts on the jet.
Ana
We made it through three more high school graduations and see our grandchildren. Carrick died doing what he lived most of all teaching young minds. He died sitting at his desk and his favorite student found him. Charles Lawrence Grey called 911 and then his grandmother Grace. Then Christian and me.I called everyone else as I made my way to the car where the driver was waiting with Christian in the back seat. I held him as he cried and we made our way to the hospital and Grace. My husband might be a badass in the business world but he is a sweetheart when it comes to his family. He love's deeply. I bless the day we met and the day he moved in across from me and my grandmother.
The funeral was all planned out, Carrick had it all done. We have property apparently for the whole family's graves. It is Graces parents apple orchards. They set a huge plat of land just for the family. Christian and Charles took it hardest I think. But we all loved Carrick and Grace decided she couldn't live in their home without him. So she sold it and moved to a retirement center, which we hated. So we brought her home with us.
She loved living here and Charles doted on her. I think that he was special to Grace and Carrick because he took to them immediately and wanted to be like both of them. He decided on law, because blood and pain upset him.
Three years later I found Grace on the patio smiling, but she seemed stiff. I felt her pulse and she was ice cold. I called Mia and she came and handled everything to get her pronounced dead.  I called Christian and he said he thought it was her time after hearing her talking to herself, but heard her say Carrick.
The funeral was bigger than ever. Great grandchildren came before, but now there were more of them. Her casket had Angels inside and outside. The eulogy was given by Christian and not a dry eye in the place.
We are now the grandparents sitting watching our kids. Gail and Jason join us a lot. A workaholic is a workaholic until the day they die. They are just not as fast at doing it.
Four years later
I remember a view of you when I look at my husband who looks asleep, but he died in his sleep and left me. My call is to Elliott, Jason, and Mia. I wash him and get his favorite suit tie and shirt. Charles comes in and hugs me. His wife watching and crying.
Christian was hoping to be here when Charles had his first child, but his heart gave out. His doctor told him to slow down, but he loved being active and playing with his grandchildren.
His funeral was amazing I had Angels on his casket too, because he was my Angel. Elliott did the eulogy, followed by Charles and Taylor. Someone we never knew asked to say something as well. He said he recalled meeting Christian and at the time he was homeless and living in his car with his wife and three children. Christian took him and his kids to a nice hotel and paid for a month for them. He handed the guy every penny in his pocket. Then gave him his card and told him to report to GEH in the morning and ask for Taylor. He did and Taylor to him to HR and put him on the payroll and insurance and got him a car. Then took him to see Elliott about one of the new homes he had just completed building. They picked up his wife and kids and bought everything to furnish the house. They bought clothing bedding everything they needed. They got the utilities turned on and phone services Wi-Fi everything needed or wanted. He worked for GEH and retired in a good position. Because of Christian he was able to work again and his children are working there too now as is his wife. He points to his family. This man is ruthless in business, but his heart was bigger than Texas.Mrs Grey I am sure you know that already. Because of the NDA I couldn't tell this story until now. He definitely is in heaven. He puts a rose on the casket and whispers something.
I said Ella gave birth to a great man, he had no idea who I was to him, but I knew not long afterward he was my younger brother. The pimp took me to CPS saying I was dumped on his front door step. Christian was two when he did that to me. I was four. We had different fathers, but mom was beautiful when she wasn't doing drugs. I wished I would have told him.
Ana
Daniel he knew you were his brother, the eyes gave you away. He hoped you had a better life. But you do now. You need to be at the reading of the will. I just found out who you were when you whispered to his casket. You have to know you are always welcome in our home. If I had known you you have been at every family event. I think he didn't want to embarrass you. He did all that before he knew you were his brother.
A month later Daniel Todd and his children joined us for a family event. They joined us for thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. I lit a candle for Christian and cried myself to sleep.
A year later I see Christian smiling holding his hand out to me and I take it and we leave together. The light and clouds welcome us, I see grandma my parents, Carrick and Grace holding each other. I look and see someone checking my body. It looks like Mia and Charles is there watching and crying his wife is holding him.
Christian says let's go baby it's their time to live our legacy. I hope you left Daniel enough to ensure his family thrives.
I did, he has an equal share as do your siblings and trust funds left for all the children and grandchildren. Charles is running his grandfathers firm and the quads are running GEH Roz Baileys son and daughter are helping as co COZos
The love never ends but our part of the story does
Love from Ana and Christian
The end.
