I got one review, and so here I am. Ready to update. I can see that people are really excited, since this might be the last chapter. Here goes!
Chapter 10: The fight with words
Cristina yawned and opened her eyes, smiling at the sleeping chief next to her. Cristina turned and glanced at the time. She groaned inwardly. He had to get up for work. Turning back to him, she softly whispered, "Burke, baby, it's time for work." Then she kissed him. He grunted playfully, and he kissed her back. "I'm up."
Cristina leaned back and then gasped. "Oh crap!"
"What?"
"I forgot about the twins! Do you think we can name them today?"
"Well, we have to sooner or later."
Cristina chuckled, and paged Addison. When Addison entered, she said, "Are you ready to feed your own baby boy and baby girl, Dr. Yang?"
"Does it look like I'm working? Please. Call me Cristina. I'm ready."
"Okay, Cristina, I will bring them to you." As soon as she walked out, Cristina said, "I'm not ready for this." Burke rolled his eyes and massaged her shoulders. "I have to get to work for a little bit. I'll come back for break."
"Okay, baby." Cristina moved out of the way.
When Burke was almost at the doorway, Cristina said, "Oh, Burke? Isn't your mom supposed to come? Please say no."
Burke turned to her and said, "I can't follow up on your request. She'll be here at 3." He smiled and walked to his office. Cristina slumped back and Addison entered with her two lovely children. Addison showed Cristina how to feed and soon left.
Meredith entered Seattle Grace Hospital with coffee in her hand. "Excuse me?" Meredith turned and said, "Yes?" to a black haired person that looked kind of like Cristina.
"I was wondering if there was a Cristina Yang that works here."
"Yes, she does work here, but right now she is in the hospital due to a heart disease and giving birth, so if you'll excuse me…"
"Giving birth? Heart disease? She never called to tell me this."
"Do you think maybe that she doesn't know you." Meredith was getting really grumpy by the minute.
"She knows me all right, and she better apologize for running off with no word of where she was going."
"I'm sorry, who are you?"
"I am her mother, Malaya Yang. Who might you be?"
"OH, I'm, uh, her best friend, Meredith Grey. Nice to meet you. Um, the chief has asked to be notified of any visitors, so if you can wait here, I will go talk to him." Meredith forced a smile as she turned the corner.
Burke's office door was closed and she knocked, and Burke said, "Come in."
Meredith ran through the doors, turned and shut it closed. She turned back, and she said, "Chief? We have a visitor for Cristina Yang. It's her mother, Malaya."
Burke had been working on paperwork but he now stood up and looked at her. "Her mother?"
"Yes, her mother. She's here, and she's not very happy right now."
"She can't see Cristina. Not right now, not today. She mistreated Cristina and she doesn't deserve to be in her life right now." Meredith knew he was still angry that Cristina's parents went with traditions.
She walked back out without another word and noticed that Malaya wasn't in the waiting room. She jogged to Cristina's room and saw Malaya standing next to Cristina, who looked like she wanted Burke to be there. Meredith straightened and walked into Cristina's room.
"Mother, you wouldn't let me choose anyone…"Cristina was saying.
Meredith coughed and Cristina looked relieved that Meredith was there.
"What in the fresh hell are you doing here? Can't I visit my daughter?" Malaya shouted at Meredith.
Meredith kept calm and said, "Actually, no. Not today. You're going to have to come back in the morning."
"And who made you the boss?"
"Chief orders. So if you could please leave, it would be easier than all of us."
"Well, I'm not leaving until I hear from this 'Chief' of yours." Cristina's mother is more stubborn than Cristina, Meredith thought.
"Mom, don't drag the chief into this. You can visit me in the morning. I'm exhausted. I need to sleep."
"Well, first of all,
Cristina, you do not deserve sleep, and second of all, the chief
happens to be your boyfriend, and I want to see what made you stay
away from Chris."
"Is there a problem here?" Burke asked,
walking in.
Meredith turned and then said, "She won't leave until she hears from you, Chief." Cristina sighed quietly. She had a feeling that it was going to be a while.
"Oh, so you're the guy that stole Cristina away from Chris."
"Mother!"
"Quiet Cristina, I'm still trying to figure out what you see in this guy."
"Excuse me, but I did not steal Cristina away from him," Burke stated.
"Oh, please. Everyone would love to have a girl like Cristina, wouldn't they?"
"Mother, I ran off on my own. I didn't have him as a boyfriend at that time." Cristina was upset, and sighed.
"Oh, I see what kind of daughter you are. You are a selfish, ludicrous piece of crap that doesn't know how to do anything right!"
"Is that any way to treat a daughter?" A voice yelled coming through the doorway. It was Helen Burke, Preston's mother. Burke groaned inwardly. Helen and Cristina did not get along.
"I'm sorry, but you don't know a thing about my daughter."
"She's Cristina Yang, an intern who loves my son. Traditions are traditions but there should be no traditions on dating and marriage. That's totally absurd. If you were asked to leave, then you should do so. Good day to you."
Burke stared at his mother wondering if she was feeling okay. Malaya stared for a second and she then told Cristina that they would talk later and then left. Meredith excused herself and went to find Derek.
Cristina smiled and looked at her feet.
Helen walked over to
Cristina, and said, "That's what you call a mother? Well, I guess
I have to change that, now don't I? Besides, you love my son, and I
can't change that."
"Thank you. I owe you a big one,"
Cristina murmured.
"No, that's what family is all about." Cristina and Helen hugged each other, and Cristina was a little shocked, as was Burke.
Burke said, "Well, you're here early mom. How are you doing?"
"Oh, just peachy, dear. How about you?"
"Fine. Thank you." They talked a few moments and Burke's pager went off so he had to leave Cristina and Helen in silence.
Cristina soon broke the silence. "Am I allowed to marry your son?"
"What?" Helen asked.
"Am I allowed to marry Preston Burke?"
"Yes, of course you are."
"Thank you."
"I have some errands, so I have to leave. Call if you need anything."
Cristina waved and leaned her head back. Miranda walked in and said, "So, how is the new mother doing?"
"Fine. Helen is doing just fine," Cristina answered, not paying attention.
"I'm not talking about Helen. I'm talking about you."
"Oh. I don't know Dr. Bailey, am I really cut out for this?"
"Yes, Cristina you are cut out for this. You have a wonderful, yet bossy, boyfriend, who'll make a great father, and you have everything to be a mother."
Cristina thought for a moment. "Did you have any doubts when you were pregnant?"
"Of course I did, but now I know it's worth it. Anyways, I have to get back on my rounds, but I thought I would check up on you."
"Dr. Bailey?"
"Yes, Cristina?"
"Thank you."
Miranda smiled and walked out the door.
That's Chapter 10. It's very possible that next chapter is the final chapter, but I may be wrong. Please review! Let me know what you think!
