I wish Owen could wake up now so they can eventually be happy together. But sorry guys, both Owen and Cristina need some private times to reevaluate their priorities :D
ERIC'S SONG
So we just hold on fast, acknowledge the past
As lessons exquisitely crafted, painstakingly drafted
To carve us as instruments that play the music of life
For we don't realize our faith in the prize
Unless it's been somehow elusive
How swiftly we choose it
The sacred simplicity of you at my side...
Explosion. If there is one word to describe her brain in the last 5 days, it's "explosion". In between the instantaneous current of thoughts, Cristina forces herself to have several short sleeps. How funny, I never have a single flight that brings me peace. She laughs at her situation.
Cristina visits her favorite Chinese restaurant as soon as she gets back to Seattle. After indulging herself a generous bowl of Beef Noodle, she feels much more energized and a strange sense of delight overwhelms her mind. She visits Owen trailer to clean up a few things. The blue curtains are neatly risen up so the trailer is full of light. Scattered on Owen's bed are pieces of Cristina's pajama and Owen's ties. She recalls that busy morning when they woke up and exchanged a hurry yet passionate kiss. She can still recall Owen's puppy face as he negotiated another quick and dirty sex with Cristina before her departure. She adores him. She is fond of him. It's not just sex. Cristina loves to be in Owen's arms. She loves to have him caress her and snuggle her. She loves to have him kiss her all over her face when she is sad or upset. Whatever the situation, Owen brings her the warmth and makes her smile. He makes me fly higher in my surgeries. His love for her, how subtle she thinks it is, is the foundation of her sense of accomplishment. It is only now in the empty trailer does Cristina realize the truth.
She walks over the counter. Her little shiny earring lays there, sparkles in her eyes. Cristina smiles and wears it on her right earlobe. Strangely, the little earring defines a great deal who Cristina is, in her opinion. Things start to get clearer in her head, and she collects her calmness. She is ready for whatever unexpected that's going to happen. She feels relaxed because amidst the uncertainty of everything, she finally realizes one undeniable truth: she loves Owen as much as he loves her, and she's going to fight with him until the end. Love has made her brave.
-Cristina, you're back! Meredith exclaimed
-Well yeah, I am. Thank you for everything Mer. Here, some more Swiss chocolate for you.
-Did you eat some as well?
-You know me. Haha. No, this time, the whole box of chocolate is for you.
Cristina runs to Owen's room in the ICU unit. He has been thinner and more pale since the cardiac arrest. Cristina raises the curtain, longs at the rain outside the window. She holds his right hand gently to her cheek:
-Owen. I have a baby. Owen dear, please wake up. We have a baby.
