Sorry for the wait, had to get a new laptop.
One week later:
Cristina was lying in bed thinking of Major Owen Hunt again, rubbing her 17 weeks pregnant belly.
"I'm off to work Cristina, there's breakfast in the kitchen." Callie yelled. Cristina rolled out of bed to use the bathroom then get her breakfast. She was tired of being in the house all day but was happy to get her stitches out later today. After eating cereal and two donuts, she quickly threw on yoga pants and her red Stanford sweatshirt which was a bit snug now. She walked outside where and jumped into her car to drive to the hospital.
Cristina sat in the exam room waiting for Meredith to come in and remove the stitches. As she looked up she saw a flash of a pale man with ginger hair. I must be seeing things. When Meredith walked in with the supplies, she laid back and let Meredith remove the stitches.
"You're awfully quiet." Meredith stated.
"I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"I thought I had seen Major Hunt." She replied through gritted teeth, and then Meredith stopped. "What?" Cristina asked nervously.
"He works here." Meredith said quickly and went back to removing the stitches.
"Works here where?"
"Seattle Grace here." Cristina just groaned and closed here eyes.
"So what do you think? Izzie asked as she showed Cristina the flyer for a beautiful apartment. "It's right across the street so you'd get to the hospital fastest and first…" Cristina took the flyer from her hand and looked at it more.
"Thanks." She said and walked to the residence lounge. As soon as she sat down her phone went off indicating a text: WEBBERS OFFICE ASAP. Cristina groaned and wondered what she did now. She slowly got up and walked towards his office.
Once she got to the door he opened it and gestured for her to take a seat. She sat down and watched him questionably.
"So Dr. Yang, how are you doing?" He asked suspiciously
"I'm fine, ready to get back to work."
"How about you take another week off, recuperate, and give that baby a rest."
"My child and I are fine sir, not to be rude but what is all this about?"
"Dr. Yang, earlier this morning I got a call from Dr. Burke. He has been asked to consult with one of Dr. Hahn's patients. We were going to fly the patient to Alabama but he is nowhere near stable. There are very few people who can perform the necessary surgery and he has personally asked for Dr. Burke, and Burke's agreed."
Cristina looked at him wide eyed. She couldn't believe her ears. "Does he know about me?"
"No, I figured you'd want to tell him or not…"
"I-I don't know sir. When is he coming?"
"The day after tomorrow."
She nodded and stood up. She swiftly left his office and went into the closest on call room. She slipped into the bunk and brought her knees to her chest and wept softly.
After a few minutes someone quietly opened the door and slipped into the room. She buried her face deeper into the pillow trying to muffle her cries. God damnit! Why didn't I lock the door. She heard the person take off their shoes and then flick the light on.
"Oh damn." He shouted lightly. "Dr. Yang I didn't know it was you. I'm sorry," She sniffled and wiped her face, trying not to let him see her cry. "Are you alright Cristina?"
"No." she whined. Owen crawled onto the bed behind her and wrapped his arms around her as she cried. "You don't have to do this."
"I know but I want to." He held on tighter as she continued to cry herself to sleep. He followed soon after drifting away, dreaming of her.
Almost an hour later, Alex Karev was in search of a resting place. He opened the oncall room and turned the light on, causing Owen to awake quickly which made Cristina stir.
"Oh, um sorry."" Alex apologized as he walked out of the room. Cristina slowly opened her eyes and realized she was lying in bed with Owen. She slowly turned to face him, they just looked at each other for a few seconds.
"Are you feeling better?" he asked.
"Yes, I am thank you."
"Can I ask why you were in here crying?"
"My ex-fiancée, the father of my baby, is coming back to Seattle in two days for a surgical consult. He doesn't know I am carrying his child. He wouldn't know because he's been ignoring me for the past few months and his mother hates me so…."
"Calm down Cristina, just breathe. Okay? If you need anything, let me know."
"Owen. Why are you being so kind to me, you barely know me?"
"I barely know you, true, but I really like you. Even though you're pregnant, I feel….I feel this connection. I want to take care of you and be there for you."
"Owe-" she began but was cut off by his lips on hers. His hands ended up in her hair and he was on top of her. She slowly pulled away from him, trying to catch her breath. "Wow." She whispered
"Yeah. Cristina what do you think about going on a date with me?"
"A date?" she questioned him.
"Yes. "
"Wow um, sure."
"Tomorrow night, 8pm. I'll pick you up."
"Alright." She smiled. "I should probably go now." She got off the bed and walked towards the door, Owen grabbed her hand quickly and pulled her in for a kiss. "Bye Owen."
That night, Cristina and Callie sat in the living room watching the news and eating Chinese. Cristina was zoned out as Callie began rambling on and on. Then Cristina turned to her and interrupted her.
"We should move."
"What?" Callie asked surprised.
"We should move, Izzie showed me this amazing apartment, two bedrooms, and it's across from the hospital. We can look at it tomorrow before work and if we like it we can put a deposit down and move in by next week."
"Wow, Why so fast?"
"I didn't think you'd complain so much, especially since you are currently sleeping on my couch."
"I'm not complaining, it's just a lot. Plus I need to start studying for my boards."
"Well that's why we should get it done it. You will have your own room and bathroom. So will I and plus with the baby coming, it'd get extremely cramped in here."
"I guess. We can look tomorrow but I don't think I can come up with 800 dollars over night."
"I'll pay the deposit just keep up with your part of the rent."
"Deal." Callie agreed.
"Good. "
