Christina smile as she stood at the nurses station and talked to Lexie. Both were laughing at the video Lexie had on her phone. Christina felt a tug at her pants and turned around to smile at a little girl with curly black hair pulled into pig tales. Christina bent down and picked up the three year old and set her on the counter.
"Hello there" Christina said "Who let you out of day care Elly?"
"Daddy and Aunt Meredith" Elly giggled
Christina turned her head and smiled at Owen walking over with Meredith and Zola. She smiled as she lifted the little girl into her arms and met her husband and best friend half way.
"So why did you break the munchkin out of day care?" Christian asked
"Because Zola asked if she could come to the zoo with us" Meredith replied
"And I happened to be walking by, so I said we would check with you" Owen added
"Are you sure Mer? You and Derek took half a day off to be with Zola and Caroline. Where is Caroline?"
"She wanted to give Uncle Mark a picture. So they are meeting us in the lobby. And me and Derek are totally fine adding one more kid to the mix. Lex and Mark are bringing Sophia over tonight. You and Owen can have dinner together and come get her after dinner or whenever."
"Then I guess you can go"
Christina smiled before setting her daughter down and smiling at her.
"Ok you can go Elizabeth. But you need to be super good" Christina said "Me and daddy will come get you after dinner"
"Ok" Elizabeth replied
"Give me and papa a kiss and papa will get your booster seat and your off and away"
"Bye mama. Bye bean"
Christina smiled as her daughter kissed her and the small swell on her stomach before running back to Owen. Christina watched them go before going back over to Lexie and leaning on the nurses station.
"How is baby number two?" Lexie asked
"Good. I never thought I wanted this, but I kind of like this whole pregnant mother thing" Christina replied
"It looks awesome on you."
"You too. So is Mark ready to be a full time daddy?"
"I think so. I have to go. We have an appointment in ten. Going to find out the sex today"
Christina waved goodbye to Lexie and smiled when she felt two hands slide around her hips. She turned her head and kissed Owen softly.
"So we have freedom for dinner" Owen said softly
"We do" Christina replied
"Want to go somewhere fancy?"
"How about some place familiar or we can order in and have dinner in bed"
"I like the way you think Dr. Yang. See you after your shift"
Christina smiled as Owen kissed her and started to walk away. She grabbed his hand and pulled him back to her.
"I'm glad we worked it out" Christina said softly
"Me too babe. And thanks for the kids" Owen replied
"Thanks for changing my mind. There is no rush like motherhood"
Owen smiled and kissed Christina deeply before walking away. Christina shook her head and smiled before going back to work.
