Chapter 2: Going back to Seattle.

"Cristina did you just mention my grandpa? What complicated surgery? Seattle Grace Mercy West? What's that all about?" Jackson asked in a concern manner.

"Umm.. Yeah, that's your grandpa. He just called and asked me over to Seattle to perform a surgery on removing a cardiac fibroma on a 5 year old boy." Cristina replied with a voice of still in the state of shock.

"Are you going? It's in Seattle. Are you ready to go back? I mean that with what had happen and you left there 1 and half years ago without going back for a visit even once?" Avery asked with a concern look.

"I'm ok. Besides I've already agreed to perform the surgery. It's a one in a life time surgery. Any way it's only for 4 to 5 days the most and I'll be flying back here. I've moved on nothing to worry about. I can be professional. Ok. Anyway would you like to assist me on the case? You want to come along, you have also left Seattle for like what?, almost a year?"

"Umm... ok, I'll go along with you. It's nice to be able to assist you on such a rare case. Well, let's go and make the arrangements with the chief" Avery replied.

...

Later that night, while driving on the way home, Cristina's mind drifted to the fact that she was about to be going back to Seattle. It's been quite a while since she had left Seattle. "What would it be to be back there?" she taught.

"Hi Sweetie, How's my baby been today? Did you have a great time with Aunt Suzie and Uncle Shaun?" Cristina said softly to her baby as she kissed Lucas on the cheek. Lucas giggles and rested his head on the side of her neck as she cradles him in her arms.

"Shaun, I'll be away for a couple of days. I might need your help to look after Lucas. I'll be going to Seattle to perform a surgery on removing a cardiac fibroma on a 5 year old. I'm sorry for the late notice and to trouble you to have to look after him for me for the couple of days. I wouldn't be able to bring him along. Is it ok with you?"

"Cristina, Suzie and I are more than glad to be able to spend more time with him. Lucas is like our own child, of course we're happy to take care of him while you're away. Crissy, I want you to always keep in mind that you're always my beloved baby sister. I'll always be there for you to give you any help and support. Just go ahead and be a great doctor and save life. Lucas will be in good hands, don't worry. He'd be proud to have a great mother who saves lives." Shaun ensured Cristina.

Shaun had been a great brother to Cristina even since their childhood. He protects and takes good care of her when she was young. Even they were not really blood related; Cristina had always been telling everyone since young that he was her brother and not her step brother same goes to Shaun. Shaun Rubenstein is the only son of DR. Saul Rubenstein (Cristina's step father). Since Cristina had lost her father at the age of 9, Shaun was the only one left that really loves and knows her well inside out.

Cristina had been living with Shaun and his wife since she started her fellowship at John Hopkins. They live in the mansion which was left by Cristina's late father for her in Maryland. Dr. Shaun Rubenstein is a well known oral surgeon, like his father working as an attending in John Hopkins hospital.

During her fellowship programme in John Hopkins, Shaun had gave her all the moral support and help her through her pregnancy after Cristina had told him that she had left Owen and their marriage. Shaun knew her life was complicated and he had never pursued to ask her much on her personal life. He knew very well Cristina would have told him if she was ready to open up to him. He would just be at her side giving her all the love and support of a caring brother.

Shaun and Suzie had been helping Cristina around with taking care of Lucas after Cristina had resumed her work in the hospital after taking 2 months of maternity leave when Lucas was born. They had always love children but had not had any since they were married for 5 years. They took good care of Lucas like their own child, babysitting him while Cristina was in the hospital.

"Ok, I'll leave him to both of you. Thank you very much once again."Cristina gave a big hug to both Shaun and Suzie.

"I'll bring him up now. I want to spend some time together with him before I leave for Seattle tomorrow evening. Good night."

"Good night Crissy" Shaun gave Cristina a soft peck on the cheek. Cristina carried Lucas back to her room.

Shaun was happy to see the soft side of Cristina, which he had come to realised it only, appears when she was at home and especially with Lucas. Cristina was known as a hardcore and emotionless surgeon back then when she started her fellowship in the hospital, no one had ever seen the soft side of her in the hospital. However things had change since the arrival of Lucas in Cristina's life; he changes her life from being only devoted to surgery to be a caring and loving mother.

Lucas had brought happiness to her life once again replacing all the pain and sadness she had felt when she left Seattle. To Cristina, Lucas is the key and soul of her life, having Lucas by her side had always been her motivation and strength to pursue the goal of her life, which was to become a great surgeon one day and at the same time to be a great and wonderful mother to the child.

"Baby, mummy will be away for a while to save life. U need to be a good boy for your Uncle Shaun and Aunt Suzie. Ok' she whispers softly to his ears while caressing his curly ginger hair.

"Momma" Lucas smiles happily at her as he plays happily with her black ebony curls in his palms.

Looking at Lucas as his plays happily, her thoughts began to wonder about Owen, little Lucas was the splitting image of his father. Lucas has inherited his ginger hair and shiny ocean blue eyes with Cristina's Asian features. To Cristina, he was the reminder of Owen in her life. She loves him very much, having Lucas by her side, she always feels like having Owen with her for this past 1 and half years in Maryland.

As she softly caresses his hair her thought began to wonder, "How would he react if he knows he had a son? Should I tell him about Lucas? Maybe he had move on since I had left Seattle." She sighed.

Soon after she realized that Lucas has fallen asleep on her chest. She softly removes his grip of her lock of curls and carried him to his crib. Gently tucking his favourite teddy under his small arms and place a soft peck on his forehead, she whispered "I love you baby" before heading back to her bed and drifted off to sleep.

...

Cristina had woken up early the next morning; she walks to the crib and saw Lucas wide eyed staring at her and giving her a broad smile. She picked him up in her arms giving him a kiss on the check, "Morning sweetie, did you have a good sleep".

Cristina fed Lucas, and giving him a nice warm bath. She wanted to spend the morning with him as she knew she would miss him very much when she is in Seattle.

"Ok it's time for boarding. Take good care of him for me bro. Thanks. Bye baby, you be a good boy ok. Mummy will be back soon" Cristina kisses Lucas on the cheek and turn to hug both Shaun and Suzie.

"We will take good care of him Crissy. Give us a call when you arrive there. Take care." Shaun gave her a hug before she headed off to the departure hall.

"Ok, Jackson will be on our way to where we came from, you ready?" Cristina's voice was filled with nervousness.

"Ready as you are" Avery replied with a same tone as they settle in their seat.

Soon enough they had landed in Seattle airport.
