Well this is the last of the lot for today. Keep the reviews coming .Enjoy
…...
Cristina knew going to a hotel would be futile. As much as she loved Lily, she had never done this before. Though she lived with Zola and already felt a connection with Lily, she was a bit scared. So she drove to one place which would invite her with warmth. She went to Owen's mum's house. She waited for the door to open.
Martha Hunt opened the door thinking it was her son. But it was her former daughter in law. She was so happy to see Cristina. She and Cristina always had a nice relationship. Just like friends. Cristina knew there's no way Owens mom knew about this as she would have never agreed.
"Cristina! What a pleasant surprise!" she pulled Cristina into a big hug. Then happily took her granddaughter from her." I see you met Miss Lily here" Cristina just smiled and felt proud that Lily makes everyone so happy. This after all was a good decision. Martha knew something was wrong looking at Cristina's red eyes meaning she had cried.
"Let's put her in her crib for her nap. Is Owen on call tonight?"
Without taking an answer, Martha proceeded inside the house followed by Cristina. Cristina thought it was Truth time.
"Um...I can I ..." Crisitna didn't know where to start. It felt sort of weird complaining about Owen to his mother. Martha knew her well. "Cristina you know I'm not like other moms. I'm a cool mom so tell me anything." she joked. Cristina felt better. Once spotting the crib in the living room she paused to take a now sleeping Lily from Martha's arms and putting her in the crib before kissing on her cheek. Martha felt joy rushing seeing this. She always knew Cristina would be a cool and caring mother like herself. Then she started to tell every event since morning. Martha at one point was confused but as Cristina began unfolding all the layers, she didn't know what Owen was thinking.
"How the hell he could do that. Cristina, I swear I didn't know anything about this"
"Of course I knew that. That's why I came here and plus I had nowhere to go" Cristina joked. Martha had set up a nice dinner for them both with a glass of wine.
"So you told Owen he can't see Lily for 8 months just like you. Ha-ha Cristina you're so evil. My poor dumb stupid son" They clinked her glasses. Cristina occasionally used to glance at Lily. So Martha continued," you know when I first saw her, she reminded me of you. She's beautiful" Martha and Cristina shared a look. Cristina thought she should tell her the truth.
"You do know that I'm not planning on keeping lily away from Owen for 8 months." Cristina stated. Lily whimpered. Cristina went out and reached to her. She just stayed there until she thought lily was asleep again. And she was waiting for Martha's answer.
"of course I know that. You just want my son to learn a lesson. I know what's the first thing you are going to do in the morning. Make the father daughter meet" Martha smirked. She loved Cristina and her antics. Cristina just giggled. Martha was clearing the dishes and Cristina was just sitting besides lily staring at her asleep.
Martha was done with dishes and saw Cristina deep in thoughts. She casually asked her" what's on your mind?"
Cristina still staring at Lily answered." Owen is the best father. He knows how to take care of Lily. He is so comfortable with everything."
Martha chuckled and Cristina turned to look at her. "Let me tell you about Lily's comfortable father. Once Owen landed on my doorstep in the middle of the night at 2.30 am, almost convinced that Lily was going to die of hiccups. Major Owen Hunt who is now the chief of surgery of a teaching hospital and also the head of trauma." Both of them busted out laughing so badly.
"So how long are you here?" Martha asked
"A year" Cristina replied. Martha waited she knew there was more.
"Though I miss Seattle so much, I miss meredith snd all my friends and now even Lily. I don't have anyone in Zurich. I though work was anyone I ever needed but maybe not. GSM and Zurich institute are making a tie up. So maybe may be ..." Cristina knew what she wanted but wasn't courageous enough to say it out loud. She had to hear it from someone else.
"You could run your institute from Seattle here. That way you could be with everyone and even be there for Lily" Martha put forward the "idea" which Cristina already knew.
"And Owen" Cristina said slowly.
Martha was so happy to hear that. She hugged Crisitna. Who was Cristina kidding? Of course she came to Seattle because of her family. Owen was her family. And Meredith and some other friends. Martha and Cristina both of them decided to call it a night. Next day was going to be fun.
Cristina and lily bade their goodbyes with Martha. And were in the cab and reached firehouse. Once out she said to Lily," We are home!" and kissed her cheek.
Luckily Cristina still had her old keys and knowing Owen he hadn't changed the lock. She walked up the stairs of the firehouse. It was dark and could hear strumming of guitar from the living room. Once in the firehouse, Owen's back was to Cristina so he did not see him. She just called out his name, "Owen"
Owen startled at first turned around and saw the most amazing thing in the world. His favorite girls. He started walking towards them and said, "Cristina I am sorry I made a huge mistake. And I will repay you for life for it. But please don't keep me apart from her. And you think I forgot you but I did not. Her middle name is Yang. And she knows who you are."
"Owen…" Cristina interrupted him.
He didn't listen to her and went on "I show her your picture all the time. Hell there is your picture on my nightstand. She knows..."
"Owen…Shut up" Cristina yells.
Owen who was now close to Cristina and Lily was now calm.
"Did you really think I would do that?"
Just then Lily made a loud laughing noise."Bahahahah"
Cristina looked at Lily and burst out laughing. Seeing this Owen also joined them.
After they settled from their laugh riot, Owen saw how Cristina was so lovely with Lily. If being apart from Lily meant, he and Cristina could be together then be it.
"You know what Cristina, if being apart from Lil means I'm going to get Sundays like this with my family for the rest of my life, then I can handle it for 8 months." Owen
Cristina was just in awe of this man who would do this for her. She fell in love with him all over again.
"Owen I am of course not going to take her away from you. She's your little daughter. And she cannot live without her father and neither can her mother."
Owen couldn't control his joy. He took Lily from her arms and hugs her tight. Then he made sense of what Cristina was saying. She said she could not live without him. Without thinking twice, he leapt towards Cristina and gave her the most passionate kiss ever. Lily was either hungry or not liking the attention taken away from her, she grabbed hold of Owen's hair.
"Owww..." Owen muttered.
"See even my daughter knows what you did was wrong. Now give me back my perfect "Cristina joked and moved towards him to take Lily. Owen couldn't believe if this was a dream. So he just stood there for a minute thinking the dream will be over now. But it wasn't a dream. It was his life.
