To Let Go

Let It Go

Summary: Things was finally was getting back to normal at Grey-Sloan when suddenly everything once again changed.

Chapter 1

Within your life time you realize that everything is unpredictable. One moment you could get hit by a bus and the next thing you know your buried six feet in the ground. If life is so unpredictable shouldn't one try to live it to the fullest no matter how screwed up it could make you?

Three people enter Seattle North Park Mall to see the mess that's surrounding them. The Latina of the group starts running towards the now destroyed Build-a-Bear workshop, within the shop she sees her daughter laying under rubble and destroyed stuff animals. "Sophia? Oh god Sophie!" Callie Torres yells as she gotten closer; her wife and PEDS doctor Arizona Robbins, and friend also, Neuro surgeon Derek Sheppard right behind her.

"I'm going to kill that bastard!" Callie raged, not taking her eyes off her daughter; kneeling down to Sophia's side. A small tap on her shoulder causes her to slowly turn her head towards her frightened looking wife. Anger quickly turned into something else as her wife starts shaking beside her. "Call...iope? Look." Arizona whimpers and points to something not too far away "It's Cristina!" Derek yells from not too far from them.

"My god. What happened Cristina?" Derek whispers as he kneels down next to her ignoring the red pool below his knees, trying to move debris from body. "Derek! Calliope! What do you think happened?" Arizona cries pointing to the unrecognizable body not far from where Cristina lain. Derek shakes his head as he stares down at Cristina's bloody form. "Der..." Cristina whimpers hoarsely.

"Sh... You've got to save your strength Cris." He softly tells her, causing Cristina to lightly smile before breaking down into a coughing fit. "Sophie is she...?" "She's going to be okay Cristina..." No response "Cristina?! No, wake up!" Arizona panics. "Shush you're hurting my ears!" Cristina laughs lightly, hissing out of pain in her ribs.

"You really think you're funny!" Callie angrily yells stomping towards them. "This is ALL your fault!" Callie walks faster towards Cristina; ignoring the scared and worried look her wife was giving her, and then slapped Christina with full force! "If she dies I'll make sure, your life is hell!" "Calliope!" Arizona yells at her wife and once again points towards the disfigured body just inches away from them.

A gurgling noise quickly takes their attention; Cristina was seizing. "Cris! Hurry Derek grab her head! Arizona go back to Soph." Callie ordered while taking hold of Cristina's arms. 'Why am I helping her? It's her fault, isn't it?' Callie thought as she keeps hold of Cristina. "Sh, that's it. It's almost over." Callie cooed until finally the seizing stopped!

Moments later Cristina woke up and stammered ever so quietly, "I'm so...oo so...rry... Ca.." Before Callie could say anything, a group of paramedics came rushing over to them, taking both her daughter, Cristina, and the fried body. Callie, Arizona and Derek rushed out of the mall with only one thought on each of their minds. 'What in the hell happened here?'

"Cristina could you take Sophia with you tomorrow?" Callie asked. Cristina looks up from her paperwork about to tell her off just to see a very flustered looking Callie Torres. "May I ask why you want me to watch your spawn?" Cristina huffed, noticing her friend's tears. "My father is here from a stroke, Arizona is away and you love your goddaughter. " Cristina let out a sigh before saying. "Fine, but don't be surprised if we return with a few new toys. I'll spoil her!"

Callie rolls her eyes before giving her a quick hug. "Thank you SO much Cristina, you have no idea how much this really means to me." Surprisingly Cristina returned the hug! "I understand; in fact, why don't you drop Soph off tonight, then you can spend the night with your dad." Callie's eyes sparkled. "Cristina other than my wife and kid you are absolutely my favorite person now!" Callie gave her one more hug before running off, but not before yelling, "Don't over work yourself Yang! Don't need Sophia knocking you out within an hour, do we?" With a laugh Callie walked away.

"Ya ya" Cristina mumbles to herself as she turns her attention back to her paperwork. Fortunately, or maybe not so much that didn't last long before Meredith came running in. "Whoa there Grey what's up?" Ever since April's wedding gone wrong Meredith and Cristina had slowly but surely been making up for the time they were fighting. "Nothing much but a new intern has acted very weird and I thought I'd hide in here." Meredith replied slightly out of breath. Cristina couldn't help but roll her eyes at this. "Oh, yea because no one is going to look in here. Not the office where your best friend works in." Cristina says dryly. "Okay, okay I get your point. Just can I stay here for a while?" Meredith asked her.

'Well I'm defiantly not getting any more paperwork done now.' she thought sarcastically to herself. "Sure, Mere take a seat. I have to leave in an hour that I can get ready to have Sophia tonight." Meredith gives her a grateful smile as she sits in the blue chair beside her. "SO, what do you plan on doing with Sophia tonight?" Meredith asked, causing Cristina to grin. "Taking her shopping of course!" Cristina says happily. Meredith gave a laugh before saying, "I never get how you hate shopping for yourself but when it comes to Sophia, Zola, or Bailey you're like a shopping Nazi!" Cristina sticks out her tongue before shyly looking back down at her paperwork.

"Truthfully I just love them. You, Callie, Arizona and even Derek is family. I love those kids as if they are truly my nieces and nephews by blood." Cristina pauses for a moment before continuing. "I get that Owen will always be pissed off that I didn't want kids with how I act with your and Torres kids; but look at him, now he's happy with Emma and a baby on the way. I'm happy for him and I a realization came to me lately." Cristina said mused. "Yea and what's that?"

"I'm in love with..."
