Ch. 24 Dinner with Liz

Dinner with Liz May17, 2014

Ana is sitting beside me on a blanket in our meadow. My arm is wrapped around her waist caressing her lower back.

It is one of my favorite positions which I could spend an eternity with my Ana. I turn my head and gaze at my loving wife. She is gazing at the water. I notice she looks much older. She still looks beautiful. Her hair is a little shorter with some gray in it. She notices I am looking at her intently. She eyes me from the corners of her eyes without moving her head. “Do you like what you see Mr. Grey?”

As I answer her she turns towards me. Her crystal clear blue eyes still mesmerize me. “I do like what I see.” She has some wrinkles around her eyes. He skin is still as soft as satin.

She furrows her forehead and asks me, “Even after 33 years?” Thirty three years? Is this a dream? I touch her soft cheeks and answer her, “Yes my love. Even after 33 years you are my beautiful and sexy Ana. Every day of our lives together you become more beautiful to me.”

She smiles and pecks my lips. “Mr. Grey, after all these years you are my handsome, hot, and irresistible Christian.”

As we kiss again, I hear noise coming from the back door towards us. We break our kiss and turn our heads. A tall man who resembles Teddy is walking in our direction with a beautiful blonde woman by his side with two children and a young child in his arms. He tells us, “Mom, dad you two still embarrass me with your public affections. I thought after all these years you two would stop, but it is quite the opposite. It is worst!”

We laugh at Teddy’s remark. I say, “Oh son! I will never stop showing the world how much I love your mother.”

Behind them another family joins us. The woman looks a little younger than Teddy. She has Ana’s chestnut hair and my grey eyes. She must be Pheobe. She is holding a tall mans hands with black hair. A cute little girl is holding the man’s hands while Pheobe is carrying a baby in her arms.

Then a whole stream of people enters the back. I notice four of them who I can tell are our children.

One is a woman who looks about twenty something. She is the splitting image of Ana. She looks like she is a few months pregnant. The Hispanic man beside her must be her husband.  He is carrying a child in his arms.

A young man running after a very attractive red head young woman stops in front of us. They both kiss and hug each other. The man looks exactly like me when I was younger. He has my eyes, hair, and built.

The other two look identical except for their hair and eye color. Fucking twins! No, wait six children!  I have to pinch myself to wake up. I close my eyes. When I open them I am next to Ana in our bed in the present time. Thank fuck it was only a dream. Ana has the same look of shock in her eyes as I do. We jolt up at the same time. I wonder if she had the same dream as I did. This dream better not fucking come true. I can handle two or maybe three children, but six!

Ana’s POV

I feel the breeze from the water and watch it dancing with the wind. Christian and I are enjoying a moment alone in our meadow. He is caressing my lower back with his fingers.

I can feel the heat from his eyes burning into me. I roll my eyes to the side and ask him, “do you like what you see Mr. Grey?”

I turn my head to the right as he says, “I do like what I see.” He looks much older, but is still my hot handsome husband. Is this a dream? It must be. Just yesterday we were young and awaiting our second child. Well, let’s see where this dream leads us.

Out of my mouth I suddenly ask him, “Even after 33 years?” What did I just say? Thirty three years? Well, it explains why my husband looks older. I wonder how I look and how many children we had. I hope we have grandchildren.

He touches my cheeks and says, “Yes my love. Even after 33 years you are my beautiful Ana. Every day of our lives you become more beautiful to me.” Awww! How romantic! I feel the same way. Every day, I love him even more. I find him hotter at this age.

I smile at him and kiss his lips softly. Oh! Those lips! “Mr. Grey, after all these years you are my handsome, hot, and irresistible Christian.”

We kiss once more. Our moment is interrupted from some noise coming from the back to us.

I spot a young attractive couple with 3 children. As they come closer, I notice the man looks like an older version of Teddy. The woman is a very beautiful blonde. Teddy tells us, “Mom, dad you two still embarrass me with your public affections. I thought after all these years you two would stop, but it is quite the opposite. It is worst!”

Christian and I chuckle. Christian says, “Oh son! I will never stop showing the world how much I love your mother.”

I look past them towards another family. The young woman is very beautiful. I concentrate on her face and notice she looks like a mixture of Christian and me. Oh my gosh! Is it Pheobe? I think so. She is gorgeous! Her hands are intertwined with a tall dark and handsome looking man. He is holding a child’s hand. She is adorable. Pheobe is cradling a baby in her arms.

The meadow becomes crowded with all of the streaming people entering it. Four of them stand out.

One looks exactly like me. She could be my twin. She has a little baby bump.  A latin male is walking beside holding a child. He might be her husband.  

I get startled when a man in his early twenties is chasing a young red hair girl. What surprises me is he looks exactly like Christian when I met him. The resemblance is so uncanny.

What I see next surprises and scares me. I see twins who look alike other than their hair and eyes. I can tell right away they are ours. Twins! How did we deal with twins! Let alone six kids! Oh well, I guess my previous question has been answered. I want to wake up. I don’t want to see anymore. I shut my eyes.

I open my eyes. I look around to see where I am. I am back in the present time in our bedroom. I am so relieved it was only a dream.  I see Christian’s distressed face. We jerk up on our bed. Did he have the same dream I had?

We stay silent for a few moments blue to grey. Christian runs his hands through his hair while I twiddle my thumbs.

He breaks our silence. “I just had a scary, wonderful, and shocking dream.”

I add, “Me too. Do you want to tell me about it?”

He answers me, “I want to tell you. Remember I never want any secrets between us.” He breathes in and out before continuing, “I dreamt we were sitting on a blanket in our meadow. I was stroking your back while you were admiring the view of the water.  You looked older, but still so beautiful.  You asked me if I still liked what I saw after 33 years.  Of course my answer was yes. Our moment was interrupted by our children. Teddy…”

I cut him off, “Teddy and his family. He had three children. Pheobe was a very beautiful young woman. She had my hair, skin, and your eyes. She had two children. One was a cute little girl. Her husband had dark hair. Then I see a young woman who looks exactly….”

He cuts me off, “…like you. She was very beautiful just like my loving wife.  Her little bump looked just as cute as your does. What I see next is a little terrifying. Fucking twins Ana! Six kids! It is hard enough with Teddy and now Pheobe coming along, but six! Can we handle it?”

I try to calm him down. “Baby, it is okay. It was just a dream. If this dream comes true, it is a blessing. You and I want a big family. Let’s concentrate on the present and now worry about the future. All that matters is that we love each other. I love you Christian.”

He stops running his hands through his hair and places them on mine. “You are right baby. You made a very good point. You know exactly what to say to make me feel better. I love you Ana. ”  

“Mr. Grey I know of another way to relieve our stress.” I slide my hands under his PJ bottoms and stroke his shaft. It hardens instantly.  I lean my face inches from his and kiss him on his lips. He slides his fingers in me and we get lost in our world of pleasure.

After our morning stress reliever, we head downstairs. Teddy is already at the breakfast bar waiting for us. Gail must have got him before us. The arrangement of food in front of us looks delicious.  She made pancakes and scrambles eggs. My tea and Christian’s coffee is setup by our plates. While we sit down we greet our son with a kiss on his cheeks. He squeals, “Hi momy dady.” Gail greets us, “Good morning Ana and Mr. Grey.” I say back, “Good morning Gail.” My husband says, “Good morning Mrs. Taylor.” He is still so formal after all these years with Gail.  I hope one day he can call her Gail.

While we eat breakfast, I ask Christian, “I was thinking to invite Liz and her family over for dinner tonight. What do you think?”

“Ana, I think it is a great idea. She did a superb job organizing our engagement party and wedding. What time would you like to have it?”

Hmmm. Let me think. “I was thinking about 6:30 pm. Is it okay with you my dear husband?”

“My dear wife, it more than okay with me. Let me know if there is anything you need me to do.”

“Thank you Christian. The person we should be asking is Gail. Gail is there anything you need for tonight?”

She answers me, “No Ana. I have everything. I already went shopping for this week and the week after. I have enough food to feed you and them. I will even make a special dessert for tonight.”

“Okay Gail. Thank you.  If you need my help, please don’t hesitate to ask me.”

“Will do Ana.”

After breakfast, Teddy and I head back to our bedroom while Christian goes to his office. Before he heads into his office I tell him, “I think we should see Dr. Flynn regarding our shared dream as a couple. Why don’t you make an appointment for some time this week?”

“Good idea Ana. I will call him in a few.”

In our bedroom, I call Liz while Teddy plays with his toys on the floor.

She answers after the third ring. “Hello.”

“Hi Liz, its Ana. How are you? How is the family?”

“Hi Ana. I am good and the family is also doing well. How are you and the family?”

I answer her, “I am doing pretty well. The family is healthy and doing well. Do you want to come over tonight for dinner with the family?”

“I would love to Ana. We don’t have anything planned tonight. I will let Michael and the kids know. What time would like us to come over?”

“Great Liz. I am very happy you guys can come over. We were thinking about 6:30. Is that okay?”

“Me too Ana. 6:30 sounds great. Is there anything you want us to bring?”

“Liz, you don’t have to bring anything just yourselves.”

“Okay Ana. Thank you for inviting us. See you soon.”

 “It is no problem Liz. Bye.”

“Bye Ana.”

Once I hang up, I pick Teddy up and head to the living room. I play with him for a while so Christian can get some work done. Two hours later Christian struts towards us. He sits down next to Teddy and me on the floor. He picks up the miniature toy car and starts playing with him.  While Teddy moves the cars, he makes the “brrrrrrrrr” sound with his cute little lips.  

“Ana, I spoke with Flynn. He thinks it was a wise choice to make an appointment to go see him together over the dream. We will see him next Wednesday at 10 am. After that we can have lunch together.”

“Sounds perfect Christian. I would love to have lunch with you.”

The rest of day passes by rather quickly. We spend time with Teddy, eat lunch, relax, and take a nap.

After our nap, Christian takes care of Teddy so I can help Gail setup up the dining room for our guests and get ready.

I decide to wear a Taupe Black Hale Bob Tie Front Maternity Blouse with a black Secret Fit Belly Slim Leg Maternity Pants.  I brush my hair and fluff it up so it looks full and flows over my breasts. I trace the tops of my eyes with black eyeliner, add some pink lip gloss on my lips, and pinch my cheeks for some color. I sit on the bed and fit my feet into some black pumps.

I take one last look in the full length mirror. Perfect!

As I exit my huge closet, Christian and Teddy are laying on our bed. I didn’t even notice my adorable son and handsome husband walk into our bedroom. Teddy is already dressed for tonight. He is wearing a light blue shirt with blue jeans. Light blue looks really cute on him. They are both looking at me with a grin. I wonder what is going on. Christian pats the middle of the bed as he smirks a devilish smile. I sit between them.

I give Christian a quizzical stare. “Christian, what are you two up to?”

“Ana, we wanted to surprise you.” He looks at Teddy. “Teddy bear, tell mommy what we have for her.”

Teddy bear places his little budgie hands on my chin and gently tilts my face towards him. “Momy, dady an I have surpise for you.” My oh my! A surprise! I love surprises especially from my little and big man. 

He hands me a small Tiffany box wrapped with a red bow. I slide the bow to the side very carefully. I open the box and see the most beautiful 14k white gold diamond heart locket pendant.  I open the pendant and a heart shaped miniature picture of Teddy as a baby is inserted on the left heart.  I give Teddy a big hug and a kiss on his cheek. “Thank you Teddy bear. I love this gift. I love you!”

He responds and points to the right empty heart and says, “I luv you too momy. This side is for penut when born.”  My little baby loves and adores his baby sister.

“Momy, there more presents.” More presents! I notice a 10k white gold bracelet with Teddy’s name on one of the links surrounded by two Emerald Gemstones. The other two links have Ana and Christian written in black bold lettering with two birthday gemstones on each. Mine has Sapphire and Christian’s has Rhodolite Garnet.  It is so beautiful! I am speechless.  I kiss Teddy on the cheek again and then kiss my adoring husband on his tender lips. A tear falls down my cheek. “Thank you both for the wonderful presents. How did I get so lucky to have an adorable son and loving husband. I love you both!”

Christian takes the bracelet from my hands and wraps it around my wrists. “Ana, this bracelet represents us and our children. We will personalize it with every child we have. I hope our dream from last night comes true, because the big family to be will be made from our enduring and everlasting love. ” I brush my nose against his and kiss the corner of his mouth. “Christian, this is the perfect bracelet. I will cherish it for the rest of my life. I also wish our dream comes true. I love you.”

His lips caressingly trail my cheeks down to my lips. He mumbles on my lips, “I love you!”

Teddy taps my hand and complaints with a pout, “Eww! Yuky! Momy dady sop! Momy put on my pesent.” Christian and I laugh. He is so cute when he pouts.  I put on my sorry face and coo, “I am sorry Teddy. Do you want to help me put it on with daddy’s help?”

He responds, “Okay momy.”

Teddy places and clasps the necklace around my neck with Christian’s help.  “Thank you Teddy for helping me.”

“You wecome momy.” My little man is growing up so fast. It feels as if I had him yesterday. Sometimes I wish he was a tiny little baby so I can rock him back forth to sleep and comfort him.  I have to confess I still rock him every once in a while.

Christian gets off the bed to get ready. I enjoy this time with my son.  I brush my fingers through his hair as his head lays on my lap. I can spend the whole day like this with Teddy bear, but I can’t because I have a big bear who also needs attending too.  

As Christian struts out of his closet, my breath hitches. I trace his body with my glinting blue eyes.  He looks like a GQ model from the cover of a magazine. Once he notices I am checking him out, he stops and poses for me. He gives me his winning megawatt smile and winks.  He knows what that smile does to me. It makes me want and burn for him. My core instantly becomes moist. If he continues I won’t be able to control myself.  Two can play at this game. I trace my tongue over my lips and bite it. His megawatt smile turns into a smoldering seductive smile. He fists his hands through his hair as he pats down his overly excited member who is trying to find space in his tightened pants.  

He walks over to my side and leans his face inches from mine. His lips caress mine as his tongue forces into me. My lips and tongue respond to his kiss. I feel as if a shock of electricity electrifies throughout my whole body. As we end our passionate moment which leaves me winded and wanted more, he seductively says, “Touche Mrs. Grey. You know what biting your lip does to me? I will have you for dessert later.”

“Oh, Mr. Grey. Your vanilla dessert will be ready to be served later tonight. Maybe some chocolate can be added to it as well to spice it up.”

“Mrs. Grey, vanilla and chocolate sound like the perfect combination. I look forward for those delectable flavors.”

Teddy interrupts us, “Banila? Choclat? We have ice ceam? I want sum.”

We look at our comical son and chuckle. Christian answers him, “Yes son, we have vanilla and chocolate ice cream.  You can have some for dessert.”

Teddy bear jumps up and down on the bed and squeals, “Yah! Ice ceam!” While I pick up Teddy to head to the kitchen downstairs, Christian is texting Taylor to make sure we have vanilla and chocolate ice cream. We wouldn’t want to disappoint our young master.

We walk downstairs to the kitchen with Teddy in my arms. Gail informs us everything is ready.

Liz and her family arrive exactly at 6:30. I love the fact that she is punctual. We greet them with a kiss on the cheek.  Before we head over to the dining room to eat dinner, we show them our house.  Liz and Michael are very impressed with our décor and style of home. Their kids couldn’t care less. They looked like they were dragged to come over.

After the grand tour, we are all seated in the dining room.  Gail serves the mango soup. Mmmm! I have never had mango soup before. It tastes really good. The main meal is Grilled Chicken with Mango-Pineapple Salsa with wild rice and sweet potatoes fries. I cut into the chicken and take a bite of it. It is delicious! I would have never thought the sweetness of the fruit would make the chicken taste so good. The sweet potato fries is the perfect taste of sweetness and crispiness. Teddy is eating them up.  During the dinner we talked and talked. I learned more about them and their children.  

They met 27 years ago while they were attending college. She bumped into him in the school’s cafeteria.  She wasn’t looking forward while she was walking to a table. He was looking sideways toward his backpack which was sliding off his shoulder.  When they crashed into each other, Liz’s tray of food spilled on the floor.  They both stared in each other green to hazel. He broke the silence first by offering to buy her lunch if he sat with her. She accepted and the rest is history. It was love at first sight.

 Jonathan, their eldest son, has green eyes and reddish black hair. His face features look more like Liz. He is a very handsome young man. He wants to be a lawyer. He was accepted to DeVry University Bellevue. He starts his classes next year. His girlfriend is also going to the same college.

Angelina black hair accentuated her sparkling green eyes and pale skin. She has very beautiful skin.  She is very pretty. She attends 8^th grade in Three Cedars Waldrof.  Next year she starts high school in Bellevue High School. She is very perky just like her mother. She wants to follow her mother’s footsteps. Liz is training her so one day she can take over the family business.

Nathan is their youngest child. He has black hair and hazel eyes. He looks more like his dad.  He doesn’t know what he wants to do when he grows up. In a way he is still a child exploring this world.

We all stop talking as Gail comes in with the desserts. It smells and looks yummy.  I take a bite of it. It is sweet, smooth, and very creamy. The sensations of the textures and sweetness are overwhelming. I have to ask her what all of the dishes we were served today were.

Before Gail leaves the room, Liz asks her what I wanted to ask her, “Mrs. Taylor, the meals were delicious.  I sense the theme was a latin flavor. I have had latin dishes before, but not these. You are an exceptional cook.” She looks at us and continues, “Ana and Mr. Grey, I congratulate you on the excellent staff you have especially Gail.”

Gail blushes and says, “Thank you Liz. Yes you are correct. They were latin dishes.  I found them in a new recipe book I bought.  Your compliment means a lot to me. I am happy you enjoyed it.”  I rarely see her blush. Sometimes I will catch her blush when Taylor gives her a certain look or brushes by her.

After the unique and scrumptious dinner, we sit on the couch in the living room with our guests of honor.  I sit next to Liz so we can chat while Christian is next to Michael.  We talk about everything we could think of. I really am having a great time with her. Teddy is playing on the floor with Nathan and Angelina while Jonathan is texting his girlfriend on his iphone.

 I want to plan something special for Christian’s birthday next month. I will ask Liz to help me like she did with his 30^th birthday.  It was a very nice, unique, and big party.

“Liz, I am in need of your help again. Can you help me with my dear husband’s birthday party again this year?”

“Of course, Ana, it would be my honor to help you again. This time you don’t owe me anything. It is on me.”

“Liz, thank you my friend, but I have to give you something.”

“No you don’t Ana.  I will make you a deal. You can buy me a day at the spa. We can go together.”

“That is perfect Liz. Actually I was planning a spa day with my friend Kate before this little girl makes her appearance. I was thinking of inviting Mia, and Grace. It would be perfect to have a girls day out at the spa. Would you like to come?”

“Sure Ana. Just let me know the date 2 weeks in advance.”

“No problem Liz. I can do that.”  

While we talk some more, I notice Teddy rubbing his eyes and yawns. He does that when he is getting tired.  Liz also becomes aware of it.  Liz gets up and says, “I think it is time for us to go. Thank you for having us. We had a great time.”

We say our goodbyes as we walk them to the door.  We shut off all the lights and re-lock all the shatter proof doors and windows with the security latches.  Taylor checks all the rooms in the house to make sure the coast is clear. We go through this every night. It used to bother me, but Christian explained to me it is for our security. I understand his point of view.

We tuck in our little angel and I read him a book. Christian and I take turns every night reading to him.  He falls asleep within a few minutes of story time.

Christian and I walk hand in hand to our bedroom. Once inside we become one as man and wife many times.
