Chapter 1:
It is never easy to let go of something, especially something that is so dear to your heart, something that helps you keep breathing.
Cristina once told him that she that cannot breathe without him. Lying in her bed alone she keeps on recalling that moment, she cannot breathe without him. She can't decide the moment, doesn't remember when and how did she fell in love with him. All she knows is that she has always been in love with him. The very first memory that she has of him, she was in love with him even then.
Every day is a battle for both of them, they have to fight their own feelings, their precious love, so they can move on. Nights are even worse.
It's been 7 months since Cristina walked out of that on-call room. 7 months since they last kissed, 7 months since they were last intimate, 7 months since they looked into each other's eyes, 7 months since they said "I Love You".
Owen tried everything, he pleaded, begged even cried in front of her, but she is a stubborn woman. Now all he was left with were her memories.
He stopped chasing after her, because deep down he knew that Cristina was right, he wants to be a father. Now it was time to figure out how important was this for him. Can he actually live without Cristina to be a father. He had to try, even just to respect her decision. Moving on from Cristina was one of the most difficult things Owen had to do. But he was going to try, for her.
Cristina was not a very big fan of the new pediatric surgeon Dr. Stacey Davis especially after she started showing special interest in Owen. Dr. Davis joined GSM after Arizona went on a long leave to clear her mind and figure out what exactly does she wants to do with her life.
It has been almost 2 months since Owen has been dating Dr. Davis. He seemed to enjoy her company, he seemed happy. Although Cristina was happy for Owen, that he was at least trying to move on, but it was getting harder and harder for her with every passing day to witness all of this. To see the love of her life with another woman.
