Hey everyone! Okay so this is a new story it's obviously from the last episode just changed a little bit and more from Owen's point of view. It's going to be a continuation but it's going to be more what I think should happen with them. Hope you like it! :) Please review!
Looking up at the stars things seemed okay for a minute. Being out in the woods alone with his thoughts Owen felt a bit refreshed for a moment. He figured this would be a good thing to get away from the firehouse, to get away from all the amazing memories he had with the love of his life who had just got up and left him there. Cristina had told him goodbye on the phone and he figured that was it she was gone forever, she was never coming back and he should try and just move on with his life even though he would never love another woman.
Owen opened the door to the trailer and walked in, it was pretty empty but he didn't need much. He got his clothes out and hung them up, then unloaded the small cooler he had brought with him full of beer and some food. He took his coat and his shoes off and laid down on the bed, he was so thankful that Derek had let him use the trailer it seemed to be an escape for everyone. Owen laid there with a million thoughts going through his mind; was he getting a divorce? Was he ever going to talk to her again? Was he ever going to see her again? He had no idea what to do next.
He got his phone out to see if there was a message or a text, he was being too optimistic there was nothing on his phone not a text or a missed call absolutely nothing. He felt alone like he had no one to turn to which is why he was throwing himself into working and not sleeping at night. He sighed and looked at the ring on his finger that symbolized their marriage and happy times when they were together then everything just went to hell. He played with his ring and then finally took it off, he didn't feel like he was married right now his wife wasn't with him and he wasn't happy so why should he wear it especially now when he felt the lowest of the low. He sighed heavily and closed his eyes and rested his head and eventually fell asleep.
Meanwhile in Minnesota Cristina was laying in her hotel room watching the snow fall out her window she didn't know what she was feeling. She was happy to be working with Dr. Thomas who was a living cardio legend but she didn't fit in at all, if she didn't have Thomas she would have been gone a long time ago. She also hated Dr. Parker, he was an arrogant asshole. She had no idea why she was sleeping with him maybe to fill a void or maybe just to have empty meaningless sex for the sake of an orgasm but it seemed to make her feel worse about herself she knew she had to stop. The sex was also horrible she couldn't even look at him because it grossed her out and all she could think about was sex with Owen, she had never had a connection like that with anyone before and with Owen it was more than sex.
She looked over at the clock 5:59 AM, she had one minute before her alarm was going to go off and she had to drag herself out of bed to that horrible place. She hoped Thomas would have a good surgery for her to distract her from everything. One minute later her alarm went off; she reached over and turned it off then reluctantly got out of bed. She hopped in the shower and got ready for work. Her phone started going off it was Meredith.
"Hey Mer, what are you doing?"
"Hey Oh trying to potty train Zola but she's not having any of it, and Derek is gone away and I need to get to work…."
Cristina laughed a little bit
"Sounds like a charmed life, I am heading out into the freezing freakin cold weather and I'm sure my damn car will be buried under the snow…Oh yep I was right. Dammit I'm calling Thomas to come get me."
"That's what you get for moving to Minnesota…Oh Thomas he's your new me isn't he?"
"You know he kind of is."
"I've been replaced by a fossil, thanks Cristina."
"haha oh whatever your there I'm here I need someone to talk to."
"What about Parker? Isn't he your disgusting sex friend? I don't even like saying that Cristina seriously you need to stop with that."
"Ugghhhh I know he's gross I don't know what I'm doing…..Okay I have to go talk to you soon."
Cristina hung up she didn't want to get into it with Meredith. She called Thomas to come and get her and he did, they got to the hospital and started working on a huge case.
Back at Seattle Owen was going over a ton of paperwork in the conference room. He heard some commotion in the hallways and he thought he heard a baby crying. He walked out and saw Meredith's interns passing Zola around not really knowing what they were doing with her.
"Hey what's going on here? Where's Grey?"
"She's in surgery and the daycare won't take Zola because she has a bit of a fever but we all have charting and Dr. Grey's post-ops to do we don't know what to do with Zola."
Owen gestured to hand over the crying baby; he rubbed her back trying to soothe her. He felt her forehead she had a fever.
"Did you give her anything?"
"Yeah we gave her some acedomenaphine to take the fever away."
"Okay you guys go do what you have to do I'll take Zola just make sure you tell Grey."
"Thank you Chief."
They all scurried off in opposite directions and Owen carried Zola in the conference room and put a blanket down for her.
"Hey Zozo you want to hang out with Uncle Owen today? it's okay sweetie you'll feel better soon."
He got out her juice and gave her some to keep her hydrated and tried to comfort her as much as possible. Owen sat and played with Zola for a little bit trying to get her to smile and she eventually did.
"Uncle Owen is bad at patty cake."
He laughed a bit, he was so good with her he was good with any kids. Owen spent a lot of the day with Zola eventually he started walking around the halls because obviously the interns forgot to tell Meredith that he had Zola.
Meredith wandered the halls kind of freaking out before she turned the corner and saw Owen holding Zola.
"Oh thank god…..There you are Zola you scared mamma."
"Sorry Grey I told your interns to tell you I had her for the day, I was only doing some paperwork so she hung out with me. Didn't you Zola?"
He tickled her and she laughed a bit, Meredith smiled at him.
"She looks good, is her fever down?"
"Yep it's gone; I gave her some more acedomenaphine and just kept her hydrated. She seems better she was playing and talking a lot."
Owen smiled at Zola and she grinned back at her. Meredith seemed to be getting along with Owen a lot, she knew how much he cared and loved Cristina a lot she could see he was hurting. Anyone who knew Owen a little bit knew he was hurting.
"Thank you Owen, really thank you so much. I appreciate it and Zola looks like she had a good time with you today."
Owen handed Zola over to Mer. They both stood there for a minute.
"Oh it's no problem, it has to be hard when the daycare won't take her and Derek's out of town."
"Yeah I couldn't seem to find anyone…So you're at the trailer? Derek told me about it."
Owen looked a bit awkward
"Uh yeah I…..I just needed to get away from the firehouse. Too many things that remind me of her."
Owen looked down.
"Yeah I get it…..she's doing okay though…."
Meredith patted Owen's shoulder
"Thanks again, I guess I'll see you around your welcome to come to the house whenever you want."
Owen looked at her it was kind of strange her being nice to him but maybe she realized just how much Cristina and Owen loved each other no matter what happened to them in the past.
"Thank you."
Meredith walked away and Owen walked to his office to change and head back to the trailer. Mer drove up to the dream house passing Owen's truck on the way there. She got Zola out of the car luckily she was sleeping so she gently walked to the door and opened it. She walked into Zola's room and put her into bed slowly not waking her up. A few minutes later she heard the doorbell ring she thought maybe it was Owen but she opened the door and Cristina was standing there. She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Cristina?! Oh my god!"
Cristina looked like she was going to cry obviously something had happened back in Minnesota. She hugged her tight.
"I…..I had to come back…..also I'm pretty drunk because I had to get on a freakin plane."
Meredith wondered if she noticed Owen's truck at the trailer but she was pretty drunk she didn't seem to notice anything.
"Come and sit down."
They got settled in on Mer's couch and started chatting a bit; Cristina didn't tell Meredith that Thomas passed away in the middle of surgery and all the things he had told her before he died. He was more of a father figure to her and she just couldn't talk about it at the moment.
Owen was sitting in the trailer and he noticed a cab passed the trailer. He stepped outside and watched to see who was getting out. He thought it might have been Derek coming home but it wasn't. His heart sank; he saw the familiar curly black hair even from that far distance. It was Cristina she was there she was in Seattle and she was going to see Meredith.
He walked back into the trailer with his hands running through his hair, the love of his life was back. Now what the hell was he supposed to do…..
To be continued…
