Chapter 10: Old Friends

It had been two months since Cristina and Owen found out about her pregnancy. They found an incredible OB/GYN that assured them that their baby would be born healthy as long as they listen to her and that she would be there every step of the way. They both appreciated it.

Owen's mother began a scrapbook for her first grandchild. Since Cristina was only 16 weeks, it had pictures of Cristina and Owen, Meredith and Derek and their kids, herself and Owen's dad, and sonogram pictures.

Cristina's mother began to come around. Partially due to the fact that Owen told her that Cristina needed all the support she could get. When Cristina and Owen went by to bring a picture of the sonogram, she smiled and whispered, "My first grandchild" to herself. Cristina was happy about it. Saul was excited from the beginning. He knew that their baby would perfect in every way.

Owen woke up that morning with an extra excitement. He didn't know why but he knew that something special was going to happen today. He rolled over and lifted Cristina's top. He rubbed her tummy and kissed it; this had become an everyday routine.

"Hey little one, it's your daddy again. I am really happy this morning. Your mommy's still asleep. We love you very much. Your mommy and I are going to the beach today with your aunt Meredith and Zola and Mark. We can't wait to bring you to the beach for the first time."

Cristina slowly woke up and heard Owen talking to the baby about the beach and Seattle. She smiled then laid her hand on top of his. They lied together on the bed for an hour then Cristina's stomach began growling.

"Owen, the baby is hungry."

He kissed her stomach and got off the bed. "What's the baby want?"

"Pancakes please."

"Okay, pancakes coming up." He gave her a kiss and walked to the kitchen. She took a shower and held her bump majority of the time. By the time she finished and got dressed Owen had finished their breakfast. She walked to the table and took a seat while Owen poured her orange juice and got her prenatal vitamins.

"Thank you very much. You're such a great husband." She said and kissed him lightly.

"You deserve it. So what time are we meeting Meredith?"

It was a little after one when Cristina and Owen arrived at the beach. Cristina brought all kinds of snacks and towels along. Owen brought buckets and shovels along for the kids to play with and some chairs to sit on. As they walked along the sandy beach Cristina was reminded of her childhood in California. She breathed in the air and closed her eyes and felt relaxed until little arms wrapped themselves around her legs.

"Aunty Tina! Are you ready to play in the sand?" Zola asked.

Cristina turned around and picked Zola up. "I am Zozo." Owen helped Meredith with the bags she was carrying and they all walked until they found the perfect spot. Owen set the chairs up and put the bags down. Cristina set Zola down in the chair and put sunscreen on her as Meredith put some on Mark.

Cristina put some on herself then passed it to Owen. "Here, put this on or you'll burn." He made a face but took it anyway. As he put sunscreen on, Meredith and Cristina put the babies in the sand with the toys. Mark was crawling around as Zola tried to build a sandcastle.

"Momma it won't work." She whined.

"I'll help you Zola." Owen said.

Owen sat down in the sand and helped Zola and Mark build a little sandcastle as Meredith and Cristina watched them.

"He's going to make such a good dad." Meredith said.

"Definitely." She replied with a smile.

"So since he's got them can we go into the water?"

Cristina giggled and got out of her seat, "Let's go." Meredith got out of her seat and the two of them ran to the ocean like children. Owen watched as they laughed loudly and began swimming.

Zola seen her mother and aunt enjoying the ocean and she wanted to be there too. "Uncle Owen…" She whined.

"Yes Princess?"

"Can I swim with momma?"

"No, they're too far out for you but I'll take you and Mark to the edge of the water."

"Okay!" she shouted and stood up. Owen picked up Mark and held Zola's hand and walked them to the water.

After being in the water for almost an hour, Meredith decided she should feed the kids. The five of them walked back to their spot and took a seat. Meredith got out sandwiches for everyone and baby food for Mark. She sat in the seat feeding him while everybody ate. A couple minutes later Owen's phone began ringing; he picked it up and walked off talking.

Cristina played with Zola while Meredith burped Mark. "This time next year my baby will be with us enjoying the beach." Cristina said to Meredith.

"Awe, yes and you'll be the one all self-conscious about your body."

"Probably not. I mean look, four months pregnant and not that big of a bump."

"Yeah well you will balloon up in a month or two."

"Thanks Meredith thanks a lot." She said giggling.

"Cristina we need to get to the hospital." Owen said urgently.

"What? Why?"

"Well apparently they've been texting you for over an hour and they have an emergent patient coming in soon."

"Oh, I left my phone in the car."

"Well they need us."

"Okay. Well Mer are you coming or staying?"

"They need a nap so we will go." She said getting off the chair and putting Mark in his carrier. Cristina and Owen helped her clean up their spot and hurried to their car.

Once they arrived to the hospital they hurried to Owen's office to change into their scrubs and walked up to the roof just in time as the helicopter was landing. They hurried to the helicopter and retrieved the patient as an intern informed them of the case: "33 year old male from the Army. He was at a hospital in Utah where they assessed his injuries; extensive burns to his legs and he needs a heart valve replacement. He arrested twice since being in the helicopter."

They stood in the elevator as Cristina listened to his heart and Owen looked over his burns. "Page Dr. Avery." Owen stated. "We're going to the ER, trauma room 3."

When they got to the trauma room, Jackson and April we standing there waiting. They transferred the patient onto the gurney and began pumping him full of meds. After a few minutes Jackson began cleaning up his burns while Cristina prepared him for surgery. He came to and began looking around the room.

Cristina noticed, "Sir you're at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital in Seattle, Washington. You have burns on your legs which are getting taken care of now and then you have to go up to surgery. You need a valve replacement. You're vitals are stable and your breathing is getting better."

"Major…Hunt…?" he said quietly through his short breaths. Owen quickly turned around. He hadn't been called that in almost six years. Cristina looked between the two of them as Owen walked next to his head and looked down.

"Wyatt? Wyatt Davis?" The patient nodded. "I-I didn't know you were still active." He nodded again. "You're in great hands." He reassured him.

"Mr. Davis, I'm going to take you up to surgery now and you'll be better. Dr. Hunt will be there after your surgery waiting for you to wake up. Okay?" He nodded and looked at them both with teary eyes. They wheeled him to the OR and Owen was there the entire time.

Owen sat in the CCU waiting for Wyatt to wake up. After a few hours Wyatt opened his eyes and looked at his friend.

"Wyatt Davis., look at you."

"Hey Owen. How am I?"

"You're okay. You were stable the entire surgery. Dr. Yang replaced your valve perfectly and your burns will heal over time. I was there the entire time rooting for you."

"Thanks Owen. I've missed you."

"Yeah, I've missed you too. How have you been?"

"Good, I finally became a Major and my platoon…"he stopped and just froze.

"Wyatt, are you okay?"

"I don't know what happened to them. There was an explosion and then I woke up in a tent then woke up in Salt Lake City, then here."

"Well no more hospital hopping." Wyatt smiled and nodded. "Do you want me to call your parents or sister?"

"Mom and Dad moved to Australia and Olivia lives in Maine with her husband and five kids."

"Five kids, wow."

"Yeah, it's crazy. I had pictures but I guess they're gone."

"I understand it'll be okay. Now you can visit them in person."

"You're right, how's Susan?"

"She's good, she'll be happy to hear from you."

"Good." Cristina stood at the door watching the two of them. She was afraid that maybe Wyatt would trigger Owen's PTSD. But then again he was much better and s happy at this moment. "How's Teddy?" Wyatt asked nonchalantly. Owen sat there mouth ajar and eyes staring at him.

"No Teddy anymore? Are you back with Beth? I see your wedding band so you must be married, to whom?" Wyatt kept rambling with the questions; Cristina knew she had to interrupt.

"He married the amazing surgeon that operated on you." She said with a grin as she walked towards them.

"Well Owen, you did well; brains and beauty."

Cristina smiled and began her post op examination. "So recovery wise you will be here under observation for about a week then you can go home. As for your burns, they need to stay covered at all times and it will take a few months to heal. For the first few weeks you will need crutches."

"That is a lot to remember but I will do so."

"Good. I will see you two later." She said and kissed Owen lightly on the lips then walked to the Attending lounge to relax.

"Owen, she's a keeper." Wyatt told him.

"She is and I love her so much. We're actually having a baby."

"Really?!" Wyatt exclaimed.

"Yes, she's 16 weeks." Owen bragged.

"Congratulations man."

"Thanks."

"Owen…" Wyatt looked at him with worried eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Where am I going to go once I'm released from here?"

"What do you mean?"

"My family is all gone from Seattle, I have nowhere to go. I have no home. I have no money."

"Wyatt, you've always been a little brother to me Wyatt. You can stay with Cristina and me. It's no Holiday Inn but it's something. Actually we don't have a guest room but a couch and food."

"Owen, I can't impose on you and your family."

"Wyatt it'll be fine. I'll page Cristina right now and have her come here.

A few minutes later Cristina walked into Wyatt's room eating chips. "Hey you guys paged?"

"Yes. Cristina, Wyatt and I grew up together. His family was there when my father left us and my mom was working constantly. His parents moved out of the country and his sister lives all the way across the country. So, I was wondering if we could give him the couch until he's better…?"

"Owen, of course we can. It'll be great for him too, living with two surgeons. He'll be in great hands. Just don't bring any skanks over to my house." Both guys began laughing at Cristina's comment. "Wyatt you should get some rest, Owen we should be getting home."

"Okay Cristina. Wyatt I'll be by first thing tomorrow." He said goodbye to his friend and left the hospital hand in hand with his wife. Once they got home Cristina lied on the bed while Owen massaged her feet.

"You know Owen, with Wyatt sleeping on the couch we aren't going to be having sex much."

"You're right, but there's always on-call room sex."

"Oh my favorite." She said sarcastically.

"Better than nothing." He said reaching in for a kiss.

"True. How about we fit some loud hot sex in right now."

"Oh yes!" He said and kissed her deeply. They quickly undressed and made love (loudly) multiple times that night.
