Cristina's mind was whirling as she walked out of Seattle Grace Mercy West. Her talk with Owen had left her hopeful and strangely optimistic. The air was crisp and cool but gray rainclouds blocked the view of an otherwise black and starless sky. Armed with the exact location of Teddy's apartment thanks to Owen, by the time she reached her motorbike in the hospital parking lot a light drizzle had already begun to fall.

The resident was unfazed, after living in Seattle for years she quickly grew accustomed to her fair share of rain. She mounted her bike without hesitation and began her journey.

By the time Cristina reached Teddy's apartment she was completely soaked. She entered the apartment building not surprised to receive some strange looks since she was literally dripping on the lobby floor. But her mind was too preoccupied to care. The only part of her body that remained fairly unscathed was her face and hair since she took her helmet off just before entering but it was still a little wet.

The elevator dinged on Teddy's floor and Cristina fearlessly walked to Teddy's door only to stop in front of it. Trepidation and anxiousness kept her glued to that spot. What if she's angry or upset?

Cristina licked her lips nervously and rocked back and forth on the balls of her feet. Quit being a coward and just knock already! She goaded herself. Inhaling deeply, the resident knocked exactly three times and waited. What felt like seconds but was only actually a minute, the door swung open revealing Teddy still in her street clothes. She smiled looking confused but not displeased.

Don't just stand there! Say something!

"Hi" Cristina said while mentally slapping herself. Was that really the best you could do?

"Hi" Teddy repeated smiling wider before frowning. "You're all wet."

Cristina looked down at herself for the first time remembering she was in fact soaked through her clothes.

"Oh sorry it's pouring down outside."

"Well come inside before you catch something." Teddy urged, ushering her inside and locking the door behind her. Without another word, Teddy led Cristina to her bedroom.

"Strip" Teddy commanded. Cristina raised an eyebrow but complied until she was down to her underwear. Choosing to ignore Teddy's heated gaze she moved bravely to Teddy's drawer. She pulled out Teddy's University of Texas sweatshirt and pulled it over her lithe body. Teddy giggled at how the piece of clothing practically devoured her.

"What's so funny?" Cristina asked with a smirk as she plopped down on Teddy's bed. Leaning against the headboard she looked down at the dirty blonde before her.

"How about you knocking on my door completely soaked then stealing my clothes?" Teddy remarked.

Cristina snorted. "I figured the clothes were implied unless you want me to sit here in my underwear."

"I wouldn't mind."

"Of course you wouldn't." Cristina replied with a smirk. "But seriously, I came here to talk to you."

"About….?" Teddy prompted gently, moving to sit next to Cristina.

"Well I talked to Owen today, he cornered me actually and we talked about us." Cristina said with an unforeseen softness. Teddy swallowed silently not knowing the "us" she was referring to.

"He said he wanted me to be happy." She smiled a little. "And you make me happy and I don't do the sappy make-up stuff so can we just leave it at that?"

Teddy smiled back at her before kissing her softly. "Yeah wan can just leave it at that."

Cristina smiled, her lips still tingling from the kiss they shared. Lightning flashed outside and the thunder was boomed just outside the window causing Teddy to jump in surprise.

"I can't believe it. Army Barbie is afraid of rain." Cristina shook her head in amusement. The cardio attending ducked her head sheepishly, a small blush coloring her cheeks.

"Well distract me then. Tell me something." Teddy said resting her head in Cristina's lap.

"Like what?"

"Anything as long as it's about you."

Cristina pursed her lips searching her brain for anything she considered relevant. Some happy memory or a funny story when she was kid would do. More thunder echoed loudly making Teddy tense and Cristina's nimble fingers went to stroke Teddy's hair soothingly as she thought.

"Well…my favorite color is red and I hate orange. I love triple caramel chunk ice cream from Ben and Jerry's and my favorite cupcake is red velvet with cream cheese icing. My favorite movie is Finding Nemo because the dad would do anything for his kid…just like mine did." Cristina rattles off still stroking her lover's head.

"What were you like when you were a kid?" Teddy asked finding Cristina's voice to be incredibly soothing and easily blocked out the rain. The resident made eye contact with Teddy before looking far off at nothing in particular.

"I was…" She trailed off looking for the right word. No one had ever bluntly asked her to be so open and honest about her personal self before and it made her feel somewhat exposed.

"I was rebellious. I wanted to be the best and I always won. I played tennis and soccer but my real talent was debate. I was a straight A student though you would never know by just looking at me."

"Why not?" Teddy asked. To her it sounded just like the Cristina she expected, hardworking, straight A's, and the best. Cristina smiled at Teddy's question.

"I wasn't Goth or anything, I just wore all black to piss my mom off. I was sarcastic and cocky but all the teachers loved me, wore leather jackets, drove a motorcycle, played in a band-"

"You played in a band?" Teddy cut her off. She definitely didn't see that one coming. It was Cristina's turn to look sheepish this time and Teddy realized this was the first time she made Cristina blush.

"Yeah it was called Defiance Til Death." Cristina mumbled, still sounding pretty embarrassed.

"What instrument did you play?" Cristina raised an eyebrow at the question and it was clear that she would soon have the upper hand again. Well it was nice while it lasted.

"Enough about me. What about you? What was a young Theodora Altman like?" Cristina asked challengingly and Teddy finds that her full name sounded beautiful coming from her resident's lips.

"Well…"
