8 Hours later:

Cristina walked into the hospital in her favorite PINK sweat suit, her hair in a messy bun, and Andrew in her arms. When she woke up that morning she had multiple calls and texts from Owen, Amy, Mama Burke, the hospital and Meredith. Everyone assumed she was asleep but they all wanted her to come to the hospital as soon as possible, and that is what she did. As she and Andrew rushed down the halls of the hospital to the ICU, her mind was racing a mile a minute. When she got to Burke's room, she stopped at the door. Everyone that surrounded his bed stared at her and Andrew; his mother, father, Amy, Owen, and a couple other nurses and doctors.

"Look who finally decided to show up." Jane Burke said angrily.

"Hello to you too." Cristina replied.

"It only took you seven hours to get here."

"I was asleep, and the few times I was awake I was feeding Andrew and changing Andrew so excuse me for not jumping to the phone" All Jane did was snort at her. "I mean, he is your grandson so…"

"Well this is my son and here he is, in a coma, and before he went into his coma all he wanted was to see his son."

"Well he has had plenty of time. Almost 4 weeks to be exact."

"Well Cristina, you are a wh-"

"Jane, stop!" Yelled Preston's father. "This is the mother of his child, our grandchild. Our only grandchild. So just stop." Jane looked at him with anger in her eyes.

"If you'll excuse me, Andrew's missed his breakfast so I will be back later."

Owen followed Cristina out of the ICU in silence. He knew not to disturb her. When they got to his office, she broke down. Owen took a seat next to her and wrapped his arms around her and Andrew. She was falling apart and h didn't know why. After a couple minutes, Andrew began to cry- he was hungry. Owen left her in the office to feed Andrew as he went in search of Meredith.

*Knock knock knock* Cristina turned her head and smiled as she seen her best friend there.

"Owen told me you needed me…"Meredith began, "I'm sorry about what happened, what's happening...It's not fair for you and I'm sorry."

"I just want it to be over. He didn't want anything to do with Andrew and now he wants custody! And now this, a coma. Well either way after this whole thing he is not going anywhere near my son. No joint of full custody, no visitations, NOTHING! And his whore and his parents can go to hell!"

Andrew unlatched and began crying. He didn't like when his mother was upset and he let her know. She took a deep breath and coddled him close to her chest so that they could calm each other.

"You just need to take a breath. He's in a coma, his parents are more worried about him than Andrew. Amy, she doesn't really have any rights so all you have to worry about is you and Andrew and Owen"

Cristina nodded her head and rubbed Andrew's back to get him back to sleep. Cristina and Meredith sat on the couch together in silence until Cristina was asleep.

Meredith took Andrew from Cristina and placed him in his bassinet In the office. She closed the door behind herself and went to go find Owen.

As she walked down the catwalk, she saw Owen, Jane Burke and her husband, Amy, and two police officers all in Dr. Webber's office.

There was shouting, tears, and a lot of anger all around.

"You are hereby sentenced to 10 years in a state prison and you're fined $20,000 to contribute to the damages caused by your actions. As for the request of custody, you are allowed visits from Dr. Cristina Yang and your son Andrew Yang every two weeks and the day before, of, or after any major holidays or your son's birthday. This is a privilege, not a right so this can and will be taken away if needed. Your driver's license will be suspended and your medical license stripped. Do you understand Mr. Burke?" It had been three weeks since the accident and two since Burke had waken from his coma. He was taken into police custody as soon as he was deemed healthy.

"I do your honor."

"Okay, court dismissed."

The courtroom was silent, nobody knew what to say or do. Jane Burke and Amy were in tears as they listened to the sentencing. Cristina, Meredith, and Andrew sat in the back of the courtroom, wondering what to do. Cristina took Andrew out of his aunt's arms and walked over to Burke.

"Would you like to say goodbye?" she asked him quietly. Burke simply nodded and held his arms out to hold him. "It's your first time holding him."

"He's so big. 'Hey little man. I'm your daddy. I'm going away for a while but I love you and I will see you more than before, I promise. Take care of your momma for me.'" He kissed the top of Andrew's head and went to pass him to Cristina.

"Wait" she said as she pulled out her phone, "let me take a picture of you two…one, two, three, smile!" As she clicked the camera, Burke kissed Andrew's head once more. Cristina caught it perfectly. "Beautiful."

"Thank you Cristina." She nodded and took Andrew out of his arms.

"I have to go now, we'll see you in two weeks." Cristina walked back to Meredith and placed Andrew in his carrier and the two of them walked out of the courthouse. Hundreds of reporters were outside the courthouse doors asking questions, taking pictures, and sticking microphones in her face.

"What do you think of the judge's decision?"

"How are you two going to co-parent?"

"Wasn't he your boss?"

"Can I get an interview with you Ms. Yang?"

"Cristina…Cristina…Dr. Yang."

She tried to hurry down the steps as fast as she could without compromising her son's safety. She never knew that this case was so popular and she never expected to be in this situation. As soon as they got into the cab Cristina released a breath she had no idea she was holding in.

"I cannot ever go through that again. This is ridiculous!"

"Calm down Cristina, it's over. He's going to jail, you never have to see Amy or Jane, and you have Andrew."

"I know but twice a month…that's twenty four times a year, for ten years that is 240 times. 240 times I have to visit the prison. 240 F'n times Meredith! As if in the next ten years I won't have anything better to do."

"No one said that you have to go. I can bring him, Owen, maybe even Alex…"

"You're right. This is going to be okay. Thank you."

"That's why I'm here Cristina. I'm your person." She said with a smile.

"Alright, ladies here you are. Seattle Grace hospital. That'll be twenty five dollars and eleven cents." Meredith took out thirty and let him keep the change. When they walked into the hospital they got tons of looks. Cristina knew that everyone knew.

This is just going to be fucking great.
