After almost a month prepared things for Cristina left her hospital in Zurich, finally Cristina was in Zurich's airport, with Eleanor was in the infant carrier which strapped to the front of her body, one baby's bag and two suitcases on the airport's trolley, Cristina was ready to leave Zurich. Cristina looked to Eleanor and the airport trolley, she was worried at first because she took the flight alone, no one was helping her. But, she believed she could do it.
Bella did not join Cristina move to Seattle, she reasoned her family forbid her to move to Seattle. Bella told Cristina, she wanted to move to Seattle but her family didn't want her to move. Also, she didn't want to lose her job. Cristina knew what Bella felt, she made a job offer for Bella. Cristina offered the board members to take Bella as the assistant, they agreed to hire her. Cristina told Bella about it, Bella accepted it.
Cristina and Owen regularly doing face time, they chatted about everything happened on their day. Sometimes Owen face time with Eleanor and sometimes he sang for her. Cristina and Owen became really close because of that, every time they ended the chat they said the 'L' word to each other. Cristina and Owen's days were not complete without the seeing each other's face.
On Cristina's last day in Zurich, she sat on her chair for the last time. Cristina turned around the chair and looked to the view, she'd miss the city, she'd move back to Seattle and start a new life in Seattle, Cristina thought. Cristina had lots of meeting since she would leave the next day, she closed her office's door for the last time and went home.
Cristina gave herself a little tour to her house on her last day in Zurich, she already lived in that place for near a year. Cristina didn't sell the house, she rent it to Shane and Bella, Shane Bella became roommate.
Two days before the flight day, Cristina sold all baby's furniture that she bought for Eleanor, she told Owen about it and Owen laughed, he said she should not have bought all furniture if Eleanor only use them less than a month. Cristina defended herself, she told him that she didn't know she would move back to Seattle.
Two weeks before, Owen told Cristina that he already got a house, a two bedrooms with a guestroom house. Owen gave Cristina a tour, via Skype. Cristina said, it was a big house, Cristina asked him where she would sleep, Owen told her she would sleep with him in the main room. She was surprised at first, she thought it was so fast, she didn't say anything. Cristina noticed Owen didn't ask about Eleanor's room's décor, she thought he forget about it.
With Owen already bought them a house, Owen also bought a family car for them. It was no way Eleanor would ride the truck, he thought, so he bought a Range Rover. He didn't say anything to Cristina about it.
"Ready, Eleanor?" Cristina asked her daughter. Eleanor moved her head, "You're ready" Cristina said "Let's go" Cristina started wheeled the trolley to the boarding pass, "Ma'am? Can I help you? I noticed you're alone, and I know it's very difficult to for you" one of the officer said, he saw Cristina walked alone with an infant carrier and a trolley, "Oh, yes. Thank you" Cristina said, grateful.
"Where is your destination?" the officer asked.
"Seattle" Cristina said "Gate two"
"Oh, let me take you there" the officer said. With the officer's helped, Cristina didn't have to queue up in the boarding pass. The officer took Cristina to the boarding room, after he already took care of the suitcases.
"There you go, ma'am. Have a nice flight" the officer said.
"I thank you very much" Cristina said.
"My pleasure ma'am" the officer said, with that he left Cristina alone.
After half an hour of waiting in the waiting room, it was the time for the flight. Cristina stood up from the seat and went to the gate, she didn't forget her baby's bag. Cristina gave the officer her ticket, "Ma'am, is your baby gonna be alright?" the officer asked, looked to the baby on her chest.
"She will, I'm a doctor" Cristina said.
"Okay, then. We will help you since you're alone" the officer said, she noticed Cristina was alone.
"Thank you" Cristina said. Cristina found her seat, she opened the baby's bag and took out couple things that Eleanor would need. After that, Cristina asked a passenger for helping her to put the bag in a cabin. Cristina took Eleanor out from the carrier, she covered Eleanor with a blanket.
"Here we go" Cristina said, quietly to Eleanor who was sleeping in her arms. The plane started to off, in the middle of the flight, Eleanor cried for a little because she was hungry and her diaper was full. Cristina was very grateful, the woman next to her helped her took care of Eleanor.
12 hours had pass, Eleanor and Cristina finally arrived to Seattle, it was already 9 pm in Seattle. Cristina was relieved, she was so tired on the plane, she couldn't sleep because she had Eleanor in her arm. Cristina put Eleanor back to the carrier and asked for help again to take out the baby's bag from the cabin.
Cristina got the suitcases after struggling to take the suitcases out from the baggage claim roadway. With the suitcases on the trolley again, Cristina went out from the gate, "Cristina!" a guy called her name. Cristina searched the person, she couldn't find the person, "Cristina! I'm here" the guy said.
Cristina turned around and finally found the person, Cristina pushed the trolley to the person, "Hi" the guy said, smiled to her.
"Hi Owen" Cristina said, smiled back. Owen carefully pulled her to his embrace, didn't want to disturb Eleanor, he kissed her cheek. Cristina was a great woman, Owen thought, could take a flight with two suitcases, a baby's bag and an infant carrier strapped on her small body.
"How's the flight?" Owen asked as he looked to Eleanor who was sleeping in the carrier.
"Tired" Cristina said "Thank God, she was not fussy at all" Cristina looked down to Eleanor, Owen smiled, he carefully stroked Eleanor's head.
"Let's go home then" Owen said, smiled again. Cristina and Owen walked to the car, Owen was the one who wheeled the trolley. Owen stopped, looked to Cristina, "What's wrong?" Cristina asked as Owen stopped.
"Can I kiss you?" Owen asked, shyly.
"You don't have to ask" Cristina said, smiled to him. Cristina gave Owen a kiss, "Thank you" Owen said. Cristina and Owen went to the parking lot, Cristina was searching the truck. Cristina saw Owen instead of walked to the truck, he walked to a Range Rover and unlocked the car. Owen put the suitcases in the trunk, Cristina was surprised to see the Range Rover, "What happened to the truck?" Cristina asked.
"The truck is in the house, I can't sell the truck" Owen said "So many memories with that truck"
"Why did you buy this car?" Cristina asked.
"Eleanor can't ride a truck so I bought this car" Owen said as he opened the passenger's door "Ta-daa" Owen said, showed the baby car seat. Owen took Eleanor from Cristina and placed her in to the car seat, and then he opened the front passenger's door and let Cristina sat on the seat.
Owen went in to the car too, Cristina looked around inside the car, it was awesome, Cristina thought. "It's great, isn't it?" Owen said as he noticed Cristina was amazed with the car.
"It is!" Cristina said "I've never ride with this car" Owen grinned to her.
"Are you hungry?" Owen said.
"Yup, starving actually" Cristina said.
"Okay, let's eat" Owen said. Owen drove to a restaurant that Cristina and him usually eat there, they arrived, Owen parked the car. Cristina went out from the car and took Eleanor out, "May I?" Owen asked, he wanted to hold Eleanor.
"Of course" Cristina said, gave Eleanor to Owen and she took the baby's bag. Cristina and Owen went in to the restaurant, the waiter greeted them, "Dr. Hunt and dr. Yang!" the waiter said "Long time no see"
"Hi Xander" Owen said.
"Usual place?" Xander said.
"Yup" Owen said.
"Who's this cutie pie?" Xander asked, looked to Eleanor who was in Owen's arm.
"This is Eleanor" Owen said, proudly introduce her.
"She's so cute" Xander said "Congrats to you both" Xander looked to Owen and Cristina. Xander ushered them to their usual place, Cristina and Owen sat down, "What are you both gonna eat today?" Xander asked as he gave the menus.
"I'm not eat, I already eat dinner" Owen said.
"I want steak with potato wedges" Cristina said.
"How about drink?" Xander asked.
"Water" Cristina said "How about you?" Cristina asked Owen.
"Water" Owen said.
"Okay then" Xander said "Be right back" Xander went to the kitchen, left Owen, Eleanor and Cristina. Owen and Cristina didn't talk to each other, Owen was focus to Eleanor who already woke up. Cristina watched them, Owen played with her hand, he made funny faces to Eleanor. Suddenly, Cristina remembered a thing that made her moved to Zurich, she looked down to her hands.
Cristina asked herself, can she get a Harper Avery in Grey+Sloan Memorial? Nope, Cristina answered herself, that was the reason I left, Cristina said to herself. Owen looked to Cristina, he noticed she was in her deep thought.
"What's in your mind?" Owen asked. Cristina didn't answer, she was really in her thought, "Cristina?" Owen called her.
"What?" Cristina asked, broke the thought.
"Are you okay?" Owen asked "What's in your mind?"
"I'm fine" Cristina said "Nothing is in my mind" Cristina lied.
"No, you're up something" Owen said, reached her hand and held it "Tell me"
Cristina didn't know how to say it, "Am…. Am I can get a Harper Avery?" Cristina asked, looked to his eyes, "One of the reasons I left was because of that" Cristina said.
Owen was surprised, he was too didn't think about it, "I-I don't know" Owen said "Please don't move back to Zurich" he immediately said, he didn't want her and Eleanor move back to Zurich.
"No, no I'm not. I just, my researches and projects that I will work on, will be useless" Cristina said, Cristina already knew the future. "I meant it's not useless for the patients" Cristina said. Owen felt her feeling, "You know what, I'll talk to Catherine" Owen said, he would do everything to make Cristina stay. Cristina already left her hospital so Owen could get closer to Eleanor, he would do the same for her, he would fight for Cristina.
"Never mind, forget about it" Cristina said, looked down, she didn't want the hospital like 2 years ago, fought to be open.
"No, no" Owen said "Your works will be fabulous, your projects and researches will be great and you deserve that award" Owen reached her face and lifted her face up, "I'll talk to Catherine"
"O-Okay" Cristina said. Xander the waiter came with Cristina's food, "Enjoy" Xander said as he put down the plate and the glasses, "Thank you" Cristina said. Cristina started eat her food, she felt impolite she didn't offer her food to Owen, "Do you want some?" Cristina asked, looked up to Owen.
"No, you eat" Owen said, smiled to her. Cristina smiled back, Cristina started finishing her food. Owen took his phone, and texted someone. 10 minutes later, she finished her dinner, "Already full?" Owen asked as he saw Cristina finished her food.
"Yup" Cristina said, drank her water. Cristina was still feel tired, even though she already ate her dinner, Cristina wanted to lay down as soon as possible, she called Xander for the bill, "Here you go" Xander said as he gave Cristina the bill. Cristina took out her wallet, Owen stopped her, "I pay" Owen said, took out his wallet and gave Xander the money.
"Thank you" Cristina said.
Cristina and Owen went to the car, Eleanor still in Owen's arm, Eleanor felt hungry, she started crying. "What do you want?" Owen asked Eleanor.
"She's hungry" Cristina said, took Eleanor from Owen.
"How did you know that?" Owen asked, took the baby's bag from Cristina.
"The crying" Cristina said "I'll sit on the back" Cristina opened the passenger's door, Cristina went in. Owen thought, Cristina was a good mom, she knew the crying meant. He smiled, "Let's go home" Owen said, started the engine and drove to the house.
On the passenger's seat, Cristina started to breast-feeding Eleanor. 5 minutes later, Eleanor was done with her milk and went to her dreamland. Owen and Cristina arrived at the house, "Cristina" Owen called her, Cristina looked up from Eleanor, "That's our house" Owen said, as he parked the car.
"Wow, it's bigger in reality" Cristina said.
"Yup" Owen said, went out from the car. Owen opened the passenger's door, he helped Cristina out, he took the baby's bag with him. Owen unlocked the door, "Come on in" Owen said, opened the door for Cristina.
Cristina looked around and was amazed with the design, it was simple but elegant at the same time. Owen didn't do décor yet when he gave Cristina a tour via Skype, he hired the designer one week before Cristina's flight.
"This is our house" Owen said. Owen took Eleanor from Cristina, "Let's go to your room, shall we?" Owen said to Eleanor. Owen, followed by Cristina went upstairs, Owen opened the door, he went in and put Eleanor on her new crib. Cristina went in too, "Oh my God" Cristina said "You did this?" Cristina asked, looked around the room, it was nice decorated.
Eleanor's room was very well decorated, with the baby furniture and the playpen. "Well, I hired a designer and he did this" Owen said, proudly.
"You spent lots of money" Cristina said.
"Yup, I didn't mind because the persons who live in here are special" Owen said, smiled to her, "Shall we go to our bedroom?" Owen grinned. Owen and Cristina went out from Eleanor's room, Owen went to one door, and stopped right in front of the door. "Open it" Owen said to Cristina.
"Is there something special in there?" Cristina asked.
"Just open it" Owen said, couldn't wait. Cristina reached the doorknob, she stopped, "Is anything will scare me?" Cristina asked.
"No" Owen said.
"Seriously?" Cristina said. "Yup" Owen said. Cristina opened the door and was surprised, "You did this?" Cristina asked, surprised. The room was full of candles and roses, the room's light was off, only the candles light the room.
"Yup, I am" Owen said, proudly. Cristina went into the middle of the room, she looked around. Owen took a bundle of roses on the bed, "For you" Owen said as he gave the rose. Cristina took it and smiled, "Thank you" Cristina said.
"When did you light these candles?" Cristina asked, looked around to the candles.
"I texted our housekeeper when you ate your dinner" Owen said.
"Where is she now?" Cristina asked.
"Somewhere, she gave us privacy" Owen said "She only comes trice a week to clean up, do the laundry"
"Oh, cool" Cristina said, she looked around "You're so romantic you know?" Cristina said, Owen grinned. Owen stood closer to Cristina, they looked to each other's eyes. The distance of their faces were only 2 centimeters away, Owen looked to her lips. Owen held her face and locked curls behind her ear, he kissed Cristina, Cristina responded with put her hand around Owen's neck, Owen kissed her more deep and passionately.
After 5 minutes of making out, Cristina broke it and looked to Owen's eyes, she was breathless. "Eleanor is sleeping" Cristina said as she dropped the roses. Owen grinned, Owen picked her up and put her down on the bed. Owen started kissing her again, they started took their clothes off and started making out.
After the making out, Owen spooned her, "I miss you" Owen said, kissed her neck. "Me too" Cristina said, hugged his hand tighter. They were like that for 5 minutes, listened to each other's breath. Cristina fell asleep, she was tired with the trip and the making out.
"Cristina?" Owen called her, quietly. Cristina didn't respond, "Sweet dreams" Owen said, kissed her shoulder. Owen quietly went out from the bed, he put his clothes and went down stairs. Owen went to the car and took out the suitcases from the trunk.
Owen opened one of the suitcases, and started to unpacking the clothes inside the suitcase, there were Eleanor and Cristina's clothes. When Owen was done unpacking the suitcase, he started with the other one, he opened it and was surprised with the things inside, there were lots of Eleanor's things, from the breast pump to the baby bean seat.
"Oh, Cristina" Owen chuckled as he took out the things.
Half an hour later, he was done with the suitcases. Owen went up stairs, that was when Owen heard Eleanor's crying. Owen went in, approached the bed, "Hi Eleanor" Owen said, touched her chest. Owen checked her diaper it was not full, "Are you hungry?" Owen asked.
Owen took the bottle from the baby's bag, hoped it was full with milk but he found out the bottle was empty. He sighed, "Let's go to mommy" Owen said, picked Eleanor up. Owen went to the bedroom, approached her, "Cristina" Owen said, shook her quietly.
"Cristina" Owen called her again. Cristina opened her eyes, she saw Owen with crying Eleanor in his arm. "She wants milk" Owen said. Cristina didn't say anything, she took Eleanor from Owen and started to breast-feeding her.
"You should have pumping your milk, you know?" Owen said "So, I didn't have to wake you up"
"I know" Cristina said, sleepily. Owen took the pillows and set it up so Cristina could lean her body, Cristina leaned on it. Cristina was still sleepy, she fell asleep with Eleanor still in her arm. Owen who was watching them, smiled. Owen saw Eleanor was done, she fell asleep again. Owen carefully picked Eleanor up and put her in her crib.
Owen back to Cristina, Owen picked her up and justified her sleep position, Owen covered her up. Owen looked to her, kissed her cheek and fell asleep. The next morning, Owen was the one who woke up first, he looked to Cristina, she was still sleep.
Owen went out from the room and checked Eleanor, she was already wake up, "Hi baby" Owen said, smiled. Cristina was telling her the truth, Eleanor was not a fussy baby. Owen took Eleanor with him, they went to the kitchen, he placed Eleanor in the baby bean bag, he buckled her up.
He made breakfast for him and Cristina, "Hey" Cristina said as she touched Owen's back, Owen turned to look her, "Morning" Owen said, Owen gave a kiss. Cristina approached Eleanor, she smiled to her.
"I think you need to give me a full tour of this house, I opened the wrong door this morning" Cristina said as she sat on the dining table seat.
"Of course" Owen said, smiled. "Are you hungry?" Owen asked, "Yup" Cristina said. Owen gave Cristina the plate, "I already unpacked your suitcases by the way" Owen said.
"Really?" Cristina said "Thank you"
"You do have lots of Eleanor's accessories" Owen said.
"Yup, I bought everything I saw in the store" Cristina said. Owen chuckled, "And you were right with Eleanor, she's not fussy at all" Owen said.
"I know right?" Cristina said. Cristina and Owen started eating their breakfast. When they done, Owen tidied the plates up. Cristina turned to Eleanor, "Let's get you to the shower" Cristina said, picked Eleanor up.
Cristina started to bathe her, Owen came to them, Cristina let Owen to try it. He already an expert, Cristina told him, she could order Owen around since he already an expert to babies, Owen and Cristina laughed. Owen, Cristina and Eleanor spent their day at home. As promise, Owen gave Cristina a full tour.
Cristina and Owen agreed to visit the hospital the next day, Owen and Cristina spent their night like the first night Cristina back to Seattle.
The next day
"They didn't know right?" Cristina asked as she buckled Eleanor up on her car seat.
"Yup, it'll be a big surprise" Owen said.
Owen drove them to the hospital, Cristina looked to the hospital, it hadn't change since she left nearly a year ago. Cristina with Eleanor in her arm and Owen went into the hospital, "What should we do now?" Cristina asked.
"What do you want?" Owen asked.
"Discuss about it" Cristina said.
"Okay then, your wish my command" Owen said. Owen and Cristina with Eleanor in her arm went to the conference room. Owen texted the board members to come to the conference room, "You're not go to pit?" Cristina asked.
"Nope" Owen said "They will page me"
One by one of the board members went in, they all had their shocked face on their faces. They all were asking Cristina about the come back and Eleanor. Cristina was getting bored answering the questions, she needed to explain Eleanor to everyone who asked her. Meredith and Derek were the one who were not asking her, because they already know.
The board members were all in there, "Tell Alex" Cristina said to Owen, Cristina wanted Alex to be a part of it. Owen obeyed Cristina, he texted Alex.
"Why?" Callie asked. Cristina glared at her, "Oh okay" Callie said. 5 minutes later, Alex went into the conference room, "Yang!" Alex screamed.
"Karev!" Cristina screamed back. "What are you doing here?" Alex asked, approached her, "And who's this cutie?" Alex asked as he saw Eleanor in her arm.
"My daughter, Eleanor" Cristina said, Alex was shocked. Cristina knew she needed to tell the story, "Long story, sit down" Cristina said, ordered him, she was too tired to explain it again. As Alex sat down, Owen started to give them a file about the cooperation. Alex looked to it, "Why am I here?" he asked.
"Because you're the member of the board" Cristina said.
"What about Bailey?" Alex asked, looked to Bailey.
"Just discuss this" Cristina said, pointed the file. Cristina started talking about the cooperation system, Owen watched her all the time, he was amazed with Cristina. Cristina could explain it perfectly even though Eleanor was in her arm.
When the meeting was over, Alex stayed in the conference to asked Cristina about it. Only Owen, Cristina with Eleanor in her arm and Alex who stayed in the room, "Which one do you want to hear first?" Cristina asked.
"This, the board" Alex said.
"It's simple, I gave it to you so it's your seat" Cristina said.
"What about Bailey?" Alex asked.
"Don't think about it" Cristina said.
"She will avoid me you know" Alex said.
"Dude! I'm in the highest seat than her"
Alex chuckled, "Right, you're so smug by the way"
"I am" Cristina said, Alex stood up from his seat, "And I don't need to hear the story about her, I already know the answer and I don't care about your love life" Alex said, mocked her.
"Good" Cristina said.
Alex opened the room's door, he stopped, "And Yang, I'm glad you're back" Alex said. Owen was watching them, sometimes their friendship was so cute, Owen thought.
"Come on, I'll show you your office" Owen said as he stood up and took Eleanor from Cristina, "My own office?" Cristina asked.
"Yup" Owen said, Owen already prepared a room for Cristina. Owen, followed by Cristina went to a room, they stood in front of the door, "Here?" Cristina asked.
"Yes, opened it" Owen said.
"Are there any candles?" Cristina asked. Owen smiled while shook his head, Cristina opened it and she saw there was a big banner which Cristina and Eleanor photo on it and read "Welcome to Seattle!". Cristina smiled, she turned to Owen, "You are a full of surprises guy" Cristina said, she reached him and kissed him.
Cristina looked around, it was a full decorated office, "You don't need to spend your money for this" Cristina said "I probably will not in here all day"
"I just want to do it" Owen said. Owen went in to the room, Cristina followed him, Owen stopped in an empty space, "You can use this space as your lab" Owen said.
"A lab in an office, I like that sound" Cristina said "I'll start filling this room" Cristina sat on the sofa, Owen sat too, Eleanor was still his arm. Cristina looked around the office, she could put her printers in the room, she already had idea for her office.
Cristina turned to Eleanor, "She's so quiet right?" Cristina said. "Yup" Owen said as he put his arm around her. Owen looked to her, "So, what are you gonna do today?" Owen asked.
"I want to do a surgery, any interesting case for me?"
"Let's find it out" Owen said, stood up. Cristina and Owen dropped Eleanor in the day care, they headed to the pit after they made sure Eleanor was safe. Fortunately for Cristina, an ambulance came, a man was brought to the hospital after he jumped off from a building.
Cristina and Owen worked as a great team for the guy, after 4 hours operate him, the surgery was over with a great news. Cristina and Owen went home that day, they straight to the bed after freshen up and put Eleanor to sleep.
"Thank you for today" Cristina said, hugged him.
"My pleasure, dr. Yang" Owen said as he hugged her tighter.
The next morning, Cristina and Owen went to the hospital. Owen went to a conference room and Cristina went to her new office. As promised, Owen dialed Catherine Avery's number to talk about the hospital surgeons that couldn't get Harper Avery awards.
"Catherine Avery" she said.
"Hello, dr. Avery. I'm Owen Hunt" Owen said.
"Oh, dr. Hunt! How can I help you?" Catherine said.
"As you know dr. Cristina Yang is back to Seattle and as you know we have cooperation with her hospital in Zurich, she funds the hospital to be a research hospital" Owen said.
"Yeah, I know that"
"And the reason why I called you is can surgeons in this hospital have a Harper Avery?" Owen asked, straight to the point.
"Dr. Hunt, you already know they can't earn one because the Harper Avery foundation has relationship with the hospital" Catherine said.
"Not just Harper Avery foundation which has the relationship now, Kraussman Institute too" Owen said.
"I know that, the Harper Avery foundation has more relationship than them, we bought the hospital" Catherine said.
"You maybe have more relationship, but Kraussman Institute which the one makes this hospital a research base not you"
"We own the hospital" Catherine said, they went silence. Catherine thought, she could lose the hospital since they already knew which would but the hospital if she let the hospital go. "You know what, dr. Hunt? I will discuss it with them" Catherine said, afraid she would lose the hospital.
Owen was surprised but happy at the same time, "Thank you" Owen said, they both disconnected the call. Half an hour later Owen got call from Catherine, Catherine said they agree to let the surgeons earn a Harper Avery. Owen was happy and grateful, he told Cristina immediately, Cristina hugged him, she was happy.
