I turn my head slightly to Kate at the house and she smiles, turns, and pulls Elliot inside, she knows we'll be okay. The sand is warm, and comfortable, the dogs are back running around us, and I finally have Ana in my arms...

'So how you doing Mrs Grey? you've had me very worried' I brush her hair away from her neck my fingers brush her skin, I feel the shiver that runs through her, her head tilts and that's my que, I gentle nuzzle into her neck, with a small smile playing on my lips I whisper 'I love you...' I have missed her so much.

'Oh Christian... I am so sorry, I have been so stupid, I thought... I thought... oh it made sense at the time but I knew , I don't know how, but I knew you wouldn't do that to me... it just all seemed so... I forgot... Forgot about luke... His place is being renovated so I told him to use Gail and Taylors old suit... I can't believe I... Are you mad at me?' her voice soften's and her hands rub my arms,

I can't hide the chuckle her word trigger, and I nuzzle in closer feeling her sink into my hold and relax a bit more 'I am so mad at you' I croon in between kiss's,

'You don't seem to be mad' she giggles,

'Oh I will show you how mad I am soon enough, I will have Andrea clear a week for you... Oh say... In about three months then you will know for sure how mad I am, but for now just nuzzling you to death will be your punishment, plus I don't think your new friends would let me do anything else...' I look up to find a dogs face only inches away, Ana's body shudders with her laughter and I can't help join in... God what a difference a hour can make,

'Speaking of friends Christian... Please don't be mad at Kate... Or Elliot, I begged them to help me I needed...' she's pleading, in my arms I can feel her tension building, her hormones racing,

'shush baby its fine, no stress okay, don't worry kate's free to fight another day... If you ever repeat what I am about to tell you though, I will deny it to the death but... I am quite proud of Kate...' Ana turns in my arms to look me in my eyes, and I can't hold back any longer...

'I am sorry Mrs Grey but I have to kiss you now'... And I can't give her time to respond, with my palm cupping her cheek, my lips are on her's... God that feels good... I have so missed my wife... Oh god she's getting breathless. I pull back and smile she catches her breath, colour flushing her cheeks, she looks wonderful... My Ana

She laughs softly 'your proud of Kate... why ?' I think she is trying to distract me, so I will play along even though I just want to kiss her, god no... I want to lose myself in her right here, right now, I need to feel close to her, let her feel how much I have missed her... No not now Grey... Shaking my head to clear it I answer her,

'Ana... in less than two hours, your friend Kate had dodged everyone I had in place, invaided our home, swept you away, and had you calm safe and protected... All without breaking a sweat, and she even took on me, she's a good friend to have, anyone would want her covring their back...but I promise you, I will never repeat that again, but don't worry baby, me and Kate are good...she helpd me, she didn't believe it and that's good enough for me' I hug her closer, 'are you comfortable enough do you want to go back inside' I shift slightly to see her face better, it feels like weeks since I last looked at her, not hours...god this woman I...

'I'm fine... Did Kate do this...' she's holding up her manuscript, I can feel my cheeks warm, god no I'm blushing, shit. I think she feels my shame and Turns more in my arms to catch my eye

'No... That was me. I know it was silly... But it's the only thing I could think of, Kate said I had to approach this slowly, no charging in, no stress, so it was all I could think of... Childish I know but, you have never been able to turn away a good book'

I smile still feeling slightly silly, she laughs heartily, that's a wonderful sound, I thought I'd find her here broken, but she is so much stronger than I give her credit for.

'We could always publish it you know...' she threatens

'Don't even think about it Mrs Grey...and you can't hold me to ransom to it either, as I have more than enough evidence of your crazy behaviour lately...' she looks up at me puzzeled and I have to laugh, 'did you or did you not, try to leave your office yesterday in pink fluffy slippers?' she blushes, 'also you do realize don't you, that you have kept Taylor and Gail very entertained over the last few weeks,'

'How so' she asks

'Well there is putting your car keys in the fridge and...'

'What' she's shocked, 'I haven't...' I just nod with a smirk

'Gail found them more than once placed in the fridge, and there was an incident at breakfast with the orange juice...'

'I did I poured it over my cereal... I have been feeling kind of out of it lately but...' she looks slightly worried,

'Kate told me... How did she put it, yes your brain is puddeld, but I knew something wasn't right, to believe all this, My Ana would have...' she cut me off quickly to defend herself

'But Christian it all fit...when I saw her in the car park she was beautiful just like...'I am nuzzling her neck again I need the contact,

'Yes she is beautiful, she...' I feel Ana tense in my arms 'she is beautiful... she looks like you' she relaxes, 'you must have rubbed off on sawyer he has a doppleganger, I would be worried if he wasn't gettin married...'

'There getting married...she never mentioned that, oh I am glad..'

'He only proposed last night, over dinner apparently...'

'She was cooking, she dropped her wine... But even the car...' I stiffen and I know she noticed 'what is it Christian?'

'Well the car was actually yours...well technically,' her brow furrows, I kiss her for head and she leans into me, 'remember after Leila damaged your Audi' she nods 'well I had ordered you another one, remember, but then we picked out your Sabb and well I never got round to cancelling it, so Sawyer took it off my hands a while back...gave him a good price too, he obviously lets Madderson use it' I feel her head shake slightly, so many coincidences, I am only glad she met her, in the car park, I dread to think what could of happened if Madderson was already in the apartment and Ana walked in... I would probably be sitting by a hospital bed right now...

I move my hands and place them both flat on our bump,'how are you both really...' I can't keep the concern out of my voice, she rubs my arms reassuringly,

'We're fine Christian but... I am sorry... I did have to run, the way my body reacted when I was at Escala...' she places her hands over mine and sighs softly' he's to important to risk...' tears well in her eyes, I lean an kiss her softly,

'I know Kate explained, I understand, you did the right thing...'

'I did...' she sounds so unsure,

'Of course, with all that happened everything you were thinking and feeling your first and most powerful instinct was to protect our son, so how could that be a bad thing... Your both so precious to me Ana, I would never risk either of you, you must know that...'

'I do, I did even then, but my emotions just took over and well I...' she shuffles on the sand

'It doesn't matter now, your safe, we're together and you look good... wonderful...the beach certainly suits you, and Kate was right about you being well protected, they certainly like to hover' the dogs are close to Ana, one resting near her feet and the other one watching me very closely, 'are they always this attentive...' I am feeling a little worried, I think I'm a little to close to her for there comfort...she giggles,

'They have been great, good companions, I felt safe, Bill said they would be protective because of the baby, and I don't think he's wrong... Christian... After the baby comes... Now that we have a home with space, could we get a dog' I can't help my belly laugh, god she's wonderful, such a big open heart, everything works it's way in.

'If that's what you would like... Then of course baby' she sighs contented and wriggles onto my lap, I enfold her in my arms and hold her tight,

'I love you so much Christian... I am truly sorry for running, I swore to you I would never do that again... What you must have felt when you realized... I am truly sorry, forgive me...' her hands fly around my neck, and she nuzzles into my chest, I sigh totally contented...

'Oh Ana of course I do, I could never hold anything like this against you... It's over now, we can go home' I feel her stiffen and she raises her head to look at me 'what... What's the matter' she freezes in my arms and looks at me

'Christian I can't go home this house and Milly an Roxy are my responsibility, till Bill gets back... How do you fancy a few days at the beach? it's beautiful here of an evening very secluded very private...' she's blushing and wriggling,

I pick up on here mood, leaning down I place small kiss's along her jaw line, and whisper 'Oh is it now Mrs Grey... Well if your very lucky... I might just stick around, my lips find her's and we are lost...
