Little Wonders
She clutched the small child in her arms as she rushed through the emergency room, "I need some help!" she cried out placing the small child on the empty gurney.
"She's seven, she feel off her horse and hit her head." she said barely catching her breath. The nurse came rushing to her side and started to exam the child. "I think she may have broken her arm, she said she couldn't move it."
He had been checking on his patient when he heard the familiar voice, the voice that he hadn't heard in a very long time. The voice he had terribly missed. Taking a deep breath he finally turned around to where the voice was and his breath caught in this throat.
It was her.
He immediately noticed her curls were softer and she had aged a bit. But she was still as beautiful as he remembered her. His eyes quickly shifted to the child whose hand she was tightly grasping.
The little girl had her mother's wild curls. The women he loved had become a mother and even though he couldn't see her hand he figured she was married. She was too beautiful not to be married.
He wasn't sure if he should say anything. She obviously had a family. But he knew he'd spend the rest of his life regretting walking away from her again
"Cristina?" he wasn't sure he'd had said it out loud and he was about to say her name again when she finally looked up at him.
The shock on her face was evident. Before she was able to fully grasp that in front of her was Preston Burke the man that had left her nine years ago. The nurse brought her attention back to her daughter who was hurt.
"She's going to need an X-Ray and a MRI." The nurse said as she started to pull the gurney away.
Walking along the gurney she finally pulled her eyes away from him. She had to concentrate on her daughter.
He let out a sigh. This is not how he imagined seeing her again. But he wasn't going to let it stop him from trying to get her back.
Because they belonged together. And he wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.
