Chapter 2
"And then he goes and gets me pregnant," Cristina tells drunk Mer while sitting in the bathtub.
"With the stupid boy penis..." Mer added, proving her drunken theory that boys are indeed stupid.
"Convinces me to keep it," Cristina continues, "Now I'm getting hormone surges! And I have to pee every five minutes," She says, "It doesn't help talking about it," Cristina finishes as she heaves her pregnant self out of the tub to pee.
Cristina smiles as she thinks back to that night, sitting in her and burke's bed, her laptop sitting on her nearly nine-month pregnant belly. She was picking out stuff for their baby. Pink and fluffy cuteness really wasn't her style. But Mer had told her not to be negative about becoming a mother. She had already picked out a mahogany crib which had been delivered and assembled in the corner of her and Burke's room.
'Mama' Burke had bought the baby some blankets and quilts for the crib, along with some clothes.

Cristina and Burke had a new code. 793 was the number that Burke was paged with whenever anything 'baby-related' happened. It was the same number Cristina had used when it was 3am, Burke was in surgery and all she wanted was a pint of Ben & Jerry's choc-caramel ice cream.

Cristina giggled. She had an empty Sprite can on her gignormeous belly. It moved whenever the baby kicked. She had been enjoying her habit for a good half-hour.
When the baby kicked the next time, a sharp pain ripped through her stomach. She stopped what she was doing and got a drink of water. She put her feet up and watched Bionic Woman, trying to relax.
About ten minutes later, an identical pain rippled through her. She paged Burke and put her dishes in the sink. As the plastic cup clattered into the sink, yet another pain made her double over. Then a small splash came from beneath her. Her water had just broken.
Burke had not yet answered his page and Cristina thought of all the people who could help her. George and Callie were on a mini-break, Izzie and Alex were working double shifts to make up for everybody being away. Mer was the only one at home.
She picked up the phone and dialed.
