Ch. 7: Marry Me

Who knew 2 words would cause this much trouble? Christina Yang sighed for the 100th time that day and twirled the engagement ring in her fingers. She couldn't believe it! After about a month of no talking to each other Christina had cracked and came out with this heart pouring, confessing, 'I'd hate to suck up to you but I am because I love you' speech and he replies with those two words. Closing her eyes she tried to picture her and him together. Forever. For the rest of their lives. It was a beautiful ring though. Nice clear cut diamond on intertwined bands. But why now? Why her? Why after all this time of the 'no talking because I hate you at the moment' he decides to ask her to marry him? How will this affect their career? How will people look at her? A first year surgical intern and she's married to an attending? But she did love him. That month was so difficult for her. Going home to an empty, quite, lonely house. Only stealing glances of each other. Then he comes out with the simplest yet hardest question that she could think of. Ask her to perform a PTCA with her eyes closed she'd say yes in a heartbeat. But say yes to the man who acted like she was nothing for a month. She needed more time. A soft murmur came from the table as Christina was pulled from her thoughts. Looking over at the table and saw that it was her cell phone ringing. Taking a quick glance at the caller ID she saw it was from Meredith. Sighing she picked it up.

"I'll call you back," answered Christina softly

"Christina."

"Meredith, I-I'll call you back,"

The line was quite.

"What happened?" asked Meredith sternly.

"What?"

"Christina, you haven't been this quite since, well, I don't know when but there is something definitely wrong."

Christina didn't know what do say. Meredith was her person. She was the one who she told that she was pregnant. Meredith was always there for Christina. But now would Burke have to become her person?

"Christina?"

"I got a ring."

"You got a ring…OH MY GOD!"

Christina sighed.

"Yes Meredith I got a ring."

"BURKE ASKED YOU!"

"YES BURKE ASKED ME TO FREAKIN MARRY HIM NOW SHUT UP!"

"Christina!"

"MEREDITH!"
Christina could hear Meredith jumping up and down and screaming for Derek and Izzy.

"MEREIDTH NO! DON'T TELL THEM! MEREDITH!!!!"

But it was too late. Everyone on the other end was yelling 'Seriously' and jumping up and down. Not taking it anymore she slammed the phone shut and threw it against the wall, but regretted it as the phone came down and almost breaking. Staring down at the ring again she knew what she had to do, but wasn't sure if it was the right choice.

Callie Torres couldn't believe it. After all the pain and heartache George had put her through he had came out and asked her to marry him. But could she? Could she live with this 'sex machine' for the rest of her life? How did she know that he wasn't just on the rebound from his dad and that this was for real? How did she know that this wasn't just a fluke that he really wanted to marry him? George had left her all alone in the hotel room to stare down at the beautiful ring thinking about her future. How could he of afford this? He was just an intern. Callie didn't even have enough money to pay for a ring this beautiful when she was an intern. But what to say! Did she love him? She had broken up with him because he didn't know what he was doing. Was this a sign that he was now committed. She loved him, but does she love him now? Of course she loved him. He was George and she was Callie. She was there when Meredith broke him. She was there when his father was admitted. She was there everystep of the way until his father had died. He had let her into all the conference rooms. He had let her comfort him. Izzy and Meredith didn't comfort him; she did. But was she ready for this? They had so many things in common but was that a bad thing? In grade school, they always stressed that opposites attract and the some poles repel. Were they going to repel and end up like Derek and Addison? Callie shook her head. She looked over to the desk in her hotel room at her phone. There was only person who she could talk to, and hopefully she wasn't busy.

"Callie? Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"Ya so what's your point?"

"Callie…"

"George proposed…"said Callie quietly.

The line went silent.

"Addison?"

"O'Malley proposed to you?"

"Yes!"

"O'Malley…George O'Malley proposed? To you!?"

"ADDISON MONTGOMERY!"

"Ok sorry. Well…"

"Well what?"

Addison sighed on the other end

"What the hell are you going to do?"

"Addison stop beating around the bush and just tell me!"

"YES OR NO!?"

"Oh," said Callie quietly "That's what you meant."

The line went dead again.

"Callie?"

"I gotta go Addison. Thanks for the uh help,"

"Ok. Just do what you think is right Callie."

Callie slammed her phone shut.

"Ya thanks for nothing Addison."

Callie sat on her bed still looking at the ring. Finally she made up her mind. She knew what she had to do, but was it the right thing to do?
