Fifty Shades Of Hope

Dressing Match

CHRISTIAN'S POV :

I am not ready to intake what has happened. Ethan shot her. Fucker. He was going to rape my sister. Ana is not telling me the complete truth. There are more secrets but she is not ready to disclose them. Why? Is she afraid? Upset?... My mind is not corp-orating with me. When we tried to press the issue, Ana had a panic attack. Her body went limp in my arms and her face became pale.

"Ana…Shit! Taylor we are going to the hospital, now!" I take Ana in my arms.

"It is not necessary. It is common for her, Grey. She will not feel better in the hospital." Luke speaks in a rigid voice. f**k him. My baby is not well and he thinks everything is all right. Wow. f*****g right. It is common for Ana? I am going to kill Ethan f*****g Kavanagha. He will regret his decision. Soon enough but first I will ensure that Ana opens up and then I will f*****g destroy him. I am seeing red.

"She will get up in some time. Please lay her on the bed and let me check her pulse, sir." Taylor is talking to me like he is trying to calm a monster. Oh hell. I do not care what he thinks. The thing matters that Ana should be fine and nothing more.

I lay Ana on the bed and Taylor checks her pulse. I get a nod and feel relieved as she is fine and will wake up soon. Luke and Taylor leave the room while I am not ready to leave Ana. It might happen that I take my eyes off her and she will disappear. No. I have got her back right now. I could not let someone take her away from me. Ever.

"Baby, you're all right…I'm here…please baby open those magnificent eyes of yours."I whisper. I wish she might be listening to me and show me those preety blue orbs which I like to get lost in.

I am holding her and not letting it go. I play with her knuckles and run my thumb over those sexy fingers of her. She is perfect. Hell, I am f*****g confused. How many times she has to suffer like this. I wish I could take her pain.

Soon enough, she starts to blink her eyes and I know she is waking. I run and call Luke and Taylor. They enter the room. Ana's eyes are searching the room. She looks so scared. Her eyes find mine looking lost and frightened. I hurry to the other side and gently take her hand in mine, rubbing my thumbs over her cold hand. I try to warm them. I try to calm her and tell her that everything is fine. No harm will come towards her.

"Ana…"I comes closer and hugs her tightly.

"Christian…I…can't breathe" She whispers.

"I'm sorry…I'm just so glad that you are awake…how are you feeling?" I helps her and make her sit on the bed.

"How are you feeling, sis?" Luke sits next to Ana and I sits on the chair beside her and move it near her while I takes both of her hands in mine. Well, he had to ask the same question. I see. He did not give Ana a chance to speak.

"I'm okay…just tired" Her voice is hoarse.

"Can I get a glass of water?" She asks in a timid voice.

"Sure Ana. I will get it." Taylor responds and goes to fetch a glass of water.

"Do you remember anything that happened?" Luke asks her.

"I was telling you about Ethan and you were all shouting at me and I had a panic attack." She states meekly. I do not like to see her afraid. If her panic attacks are related to yelling, I will make sure that nobody yells at her. I do not have the courage to see her go through a panic attack again.

"Small sips." Taylor enters the room and give her the glass of water.

"Sure mesiour." Ana smirks at Taylor. Not my liking. I do not even know that I tighten my grip on her hand until she looks at me quizzically and a little V forms on her forehead. I kiss it and it leaves the place.

"I'm sorry" I let go of her hands.

"It is not your mistake. I was being stubborn. Not much, a bit." She whispers the last part but I hear it.

"What cause panic attacks, baby?"

"When someone pressure me or starts yelling badly. It reminds me of him." She says inadequately. It breaks my heart to see her like this.

"Please do not pressure me for answers. I will give them to you all. Just give me a bit of time to open up. Please it is not easy." She cries and shows her puppy face. Damn. She knows nobody can say not to that. I look around and know that they will listen to her.

"Sure. Ana I did not mean to press you for answers. I am sorry and I will not do anything. Please forgive me." Taylor's face is filled with a variety of emotions. I have never seen him laying out his guard.

"No problem and I am sorry too. I will be the first on to tell you. I promise. Can I get a go - going hug, Jason." Oh f**k. Why foes she wants to hug Taylor? I am here and I can hug her multiple times for others too. Doesn't she know that?

Taylor goes and hug her back. I am shooting him a death glare to back off or he might loose one of his jewels. Taylor gets the message and sit back on the chair. Thank f**k. It was f*****g horror to watch it.

The door creaks open and Phoebe enters the room. Her eyes are misty and it looks like she has just woken up. She rubs her eyes and is looking in the room for something. As soon as she sees Ana, she runs and goes in her arms.

ANA'S POV :

"Mommy" She wines and hugs me close.

"Phoebe kiss" leaning down I kiss my baby girl before putting my head on the pillow. She provides me a big smile and I start to tickle her. The room is filled with her squeals.

She looks around and spot Christian. She goes in his arms and snuggle up close to him.

"Phoebe kiss" Christian leans down and kiss her forehead.

"Daddy, me hungry" Phoebe states and Christian starts panicking. It is as if he is reminded of something revulsion. His early years. s**t.

"What do you want baby girl?" I ask Phoebe and see Christian feeling relived. He mouths me a thank you.

"Chocolate chips and cold coffee" She does not wants to have real food. I see. Let's play along with her.

"Oh, you can get them but there is a problem."

"What problem?I can ask Taylor to get it for Phoebe. He will get them fast enough." Phoebe passes Christian a bright smile. Damn. These two have started pairing.

"Shh. Now the problem is if you eat them, then you teeth will grow mustard in it." Phoebe scrunches her nose and gives me and Christian a loathing look.

"Daddy it is not true, is it?" Phoebe asks in her sweetest voice and is batting her eyelashes at Christian. Don't you give up, Grey. He looks at me and I give him don't-listen-to-her look. He looks back at Phoebe.

"You can have them, princess but you have to brush your teeth." Phoebe starts dancing merrily and I record it in my phone.

"You are the bestest daddy. Me love you a lot." Phoebe wets Christian's face with sloppy kisses. He is smiling like a fool. He looks so young and beautiful like this not the harsh CEO.

"You know daddy we can team up. Do not tell anyone it is our secret." Phoebe says quietly and keeps a finger on her lips.

"Daddy do the same." Christian follows her instruction and gives her a serious look with a thumbs up. I snap another picture of them and starts laughing so hard that tears come to my face.

"Daddy, let's tickle mommy." Phoebe commands and they both start tickling me. I hear snaps and know someone is taking our pictures.

"Please... Stop... Ple... Phoebe no... Christian listen... To me... Ahhh..." They show no mercy to me but stops after a bit of time.

"It's time for payback." I yell and starts ticking both of them. Phoebe joins me and starts to tickle Christian. He is asking us to stop but we don't.

"Payback is a b***h, ." I bring my lips to his ears and whisper. We stop at last and are trying to catch our breath.

"Let me freshen up and we will go out." I speak and go to change my clothes.

"Me too. I need to look pretty." Phoebe chimes and continues. "Daddy will you help me in picking my dwess."

"Sure princess."

CHRISTIAN'S POV :

I help Phoebe in changing her dress. I go and open her closet and find many dresses. Hell, I have no idea what to choose.

"What would you like to wear Phoebe?" I ask her.

"You choose" f*****g great. Umm... What to do?

"What about this?" I pick up a purple shirt and faded jeans.

"Uh huh, no" She asked me to choose so I did and now she does not like it. What the f**k?

"Something else" She nods her head and I go in search. She does not like my choice this time either.

"Princess close your eyes."

"But why?" She asks me sweetly and looks a bit irritated. Hell, she is so beautiful.

"Daddy will dress you like a princess so close your eyes. Magic will happen." Her face perks up at the name of magic.

"Yay." Unlike her mother, she does as she is told.

After half an hour, Phoebe is ready. She is wearing a white sleeveless sweater with black jeans and boots. I am anxious of her reaction. What if she does not like it?

"What do you think, princess?" I ask her and try to keep my voice normal. I am never nervous. People in boardroom get scared of me and I am scared of her reaction.

"Wow. Me look like a big giwl, daddy. Yay!" She wraps her arms around my neck and hugs me. Thank f**k. She liked the dress.

"Let's go." She takes my hand and we go to the main room. Ana is wearing the same dress as she was wearing earlier.

"How do I look mommy?" Phoebe turns around in circle to show off her dress. Hell she might fall and break her neck. No.

"Phoebe stop. You will hurt yourself and break your neck." My heart is racing and she does not listen to me and continues to move in circles. Like mother like daughter. No self preservation.

"You look good, baby girl." Ana replies to Phoebe and she stops. Thank f**k for Ana. She always ends my problems. My baby.

"Common let's rush from here." Phoebe says with actions and we start to laugh. I ask her to do it again and record it in my phone.

"Phoebe give daddy time to change." I look at myself and found me in shirt and my boxer briefs.

"Oh. Okay. Daddy go and change fast." Phoebe orders me. Damn she has her mother's personality. She orders me and I like it.

"Yes madam." I leave both of them. I stop and see that both of my girls are sitting in the couch and talking. I take in this moment. My family. It feels so normal, so good.
