Chapter One : Decisions, Decisions...
Cristina opened her eyes and was blinded by the sunlight that came through the window of... Of...of where ?... She suddenly looked around as she didn't even know where she was... She felt some strong arms wrapped around her so she turned her head on the left to see who was the man who was holding her and then she gasped... "OWEN!"... And then all the memories of what happened last night came back to her mind... The talk at Meredith's, the wine, the visit at Owen's trailer, the drinks, the talk with Owen and then the kiss...
"Oh no no no ! Oh crap, this is wrong, this is so wrong !" She began to panic.
She tried to get out of bed without waking Owen up, she moved his arms carefully and she got up. Cristina was busy to look for her underwear and clothes so she didn't even noticed that Owen was standing up right behind her, smiling..
"Going somewhere ?" He asked,
"Oh my god Owen ! You scared me !" She yelled, "Yes I'm going home, I need to take a shower and change my clothes before I go to work, and... I need an aspirin.. My head hurts so much..." She said as she rubbed her forehead.
"Well, I think I know the reason" Owen said pointing at the bottle of wine which was on the counter, "l going to make some coffee." He looked over at her and saw she was completely dressed and ready to go "What are..." He started to ask but she interrupted him "Owen I really need to go, we shouldn't have done this... See you later at work." And then she left.
Later at work, Meredith saw Cristina in the hallways and started to talk "Bloody hell ! You look like crap !" Cristina shushed her "Not so loud Mer, my head is about to explode..."
"Well, I can see that! Is it because of our girl night that you have such a hangover ?!" She asked with a quizzical look.
"No Mer... I mean yeah I think it is but not only... I screwed up Mer, I really screwed up..." She moaned.
"What ? Why ?... Oh I see.. you had sex with a guy hadn't you !?" Meredith said smiling, "Not any guy Meredith... I slept with Owen..."Cristina looked at Meredith to gauge her reaction and it turned out that she was kind of shocked
"You what ?! Cristina ! What is wrong with you ?! She scolded
"Oh please Mer, don't ! We were drunk.. Well, I was drunk but I'm pretty sure he was drunk too ! I know it was a mistake so don't make any comment about it anymore please, I just needed to tell someone..." Cristina said firmly
"Oh ok... But I bet that is how you drank the bottle of wine you stole from Derek's wine fridge yesterday, you will have to replace it Cristina, he was really upset about that..." Meredith said, laughing
"I'm sorry Mer, I promise I will !" She started laughing too but then she heard her pager. It was Arizona, "911" she could read on the screen. Cristina knew exactly what was going on, the baby they found in a box outside the hospital earlier was crashing and Robins needed her. She waved at Meredith "See you later !" and started to run.
Meanwhile, Owen was in the conference room, trying to work on the hospital budget, but he was a bit absent-minded. He couldn't help but thinking about what happened yesterday between him and Cristina... Her hands through his hair, when he touched her hand, then her chin, their kiss, her lips, her taste, her breath, her smell.. He had wanted it to happen so much before but now that it was done, it sounded wrong... They were drunk, he knew that he was completely aware of what he was doing and but he wasn't quite sure that Cristina was as aware as he was. So he was feeling like he took an advantage on her. On the other hand he knew that he did a terrible thing towards Emma, he cheated on her...Yesterday they were talking about moving in together and have kids and now he had cheated on her but what bothered him most was that he wasn't really feeling guilty about it. He had to make a decision about what he was going to do...On the one hand he wanted to have children so did Emma, and on the other hand, his heart belonged to Cristina, the love of his life, the only woman he had ever loved and he knew that he wanted her as the mother of his children, but that was the point, Cristina didn't want to have a baby and that was the reason they got divorced. He sighed..
At that precise moment , Emma who came in the room quietly, hugged him from behind, kissed his neck and rested her chin on his shoulder and asked "Why are you sighing honey ? Is there something wrong ?" He turned his head to peck her on the cheek"Nope, I'm just tired of all of that paperwork but that's ok!" He said trying to be convincing.
"Ok good ! Hey listen !" She sat on the table next to him and seemed to be a little bit less comfortable "Maybe it's not the right time to talk about it, maybe you'll think it's a little bit precipitated but I was thinking about what we've discussed yesterday about moving in together and have kids and you know, maybe we could chose a house with several bedrooms, like three ! Or four ! I want to have three kids and maybe I could just quit my job to be with them until they all go to school ! So what do you think ?" She said that in one breathe, she was really excited.
Owen was taken aback, he didn't see that coming, he was disturbed by the fact that she was ready to give up her job to raise their children, at this moment his head was burning and was about to explode but he knew exactly what he was going to do, he had made his decision. He took her hands and said raucously "Emma, we need to talk..."
