Chapter 25

Cristina woke up feeling kind of nervous, it was 5 a.m. she barely slept all night long thinking about what her day was going to be like. This was the first day Cristina was going back to work; Kevin was now 12 weeks old, she said that after 3 months off of work she would go back. She was excited and happy to go back to work yet she was going to feel so weird not being with Kevin all day, she completely enjoyed that time she spent with him, she thought she would be very nervous about it and at the beginning she was but then she got into a routine with him and it felt completely natural to her.

Owen was still asleep and Cristina could here Kevin just waking up, she quietly got out of bed before Kevin started to cry and wake Owen up. She walked into his room and picked him up; he immediately felt so content and curled up in her arms.

"Hey there little man! How is my little buddy doing this morning?"

Kevin had a huge smile on his face he loved this person so much

"So mommy has to go to work today, but you're going to be with your nana today and then daddy and I will come as soon as we are done working and get you! I know it's going to be weird not having me with you all day but you have to be good for nana and me and daddy will see you as soon as we are done at work! Ok little man?"

Cristina sat there with him soaking up this little morning time she had with her son she loved having little conversations with him as if he was going to answer her, but she knew he was listening he would lie there smile and stare at her taking her all in.

Owen woke up reaching out for his wife, when he stretched over to the other side of their bed all he got were some cold sheets. He knew she would be in Kevin's room he slowly got up and walked over to his son's room. He stood there watching her while she talked to him, he loved seeing this site his wife talking to and cradling their son.

"Hey there Mrs. Hunt"

Owen said to her quietly. Cristina looked over and saw Owen standing there shirtless with a pair of grey pyjama bottoms on, she loved how hot her husband was.

"Oh hey, sorry did I wake you up?"

Owen walked over gave her a kiss then kissed Kevin on the forehead

"Not at all, I was up already and didn't find you in our bed so I knew you would be in here"

"Yeah I just wanted to spend some time with him before I start work again today. It's going to be weird not being with him all day long, I'm going to miss him!"

Owen lent over and picked up Kevin from her arms

"Hey my little buddy! I know you're going to miss mommy today but you will be with nana while me and your hard-core cardio goddess mother is at work being amazing as she always is!"

Kevin smiled back at his dad pulling on his beard

Owen smiled at Cristina he knew it was hard for her to leave Kevin but he also knew she wanted to get back into work because a surgeon was a part of who she is

"Cristina I know it will be hard to leave him, but just think you're going to be getting your hands dirty again, get to cut again, and then when we are done working we will be back at home with Kevin"

"I know I am excited to go back to work! I haven't cut in a long time mama needs to cut!"

Cristina and Owen laughed. She fed Kevin and he fell back to sleep. While the baby was asleep Cristina and Owen both slipped into the shower for some hot soapy morning sex. They were making up for when they couldn't have sex for 7 weeks after Cristina had Kevin, they both loved the morning sex they had they still had as much passion for each other as they did when they first met.

After the mind blowing soapy sex, and after Owen washed Cristina's hair they both got ready to go drop Kevin off to Owens mothers. They got Kevin all packed up put him in the truck and head to his nana's house. As they arrived Owen got Kevin out of the truck, Mrs. Hunt was standing in the doorway waiting for them she was excited to get to spend some time with her grandson.

"Hi Mrs. Hunt! Ok so everything you need is in here if you need any of us at any time call our cell phones or call the hospital and they will page us, seriously anything just call us!"

"Cristina he will be just fine with me I know it's hard for you to leave him, if you want to call me during the day to see how Kevin is don't hesitate ok?"

Mrs. Hunt gave Cristina a hug she could see she was a little panicky leaving him

"Ok thank you so much Mrs. Hunt! Ok little man me and daddy are going now but you be good for nana ok"

She lent down and gave him a kiss he smiled back up at her

"Thanks so much for taking him today mom! I will give you a call before we leave the hospital"

Owen bent over gave him mom a hug and a kiss on the cheek then gave a kiss to Kevin

"See you later little guy!"

Cristina and Owen walked back to the truck got in and started driving to the hospital. Cristina was feeling so nervous about going back for some reason she thought that maybe she would be rusty but she did watch all of Ellis Grey's surgical videos and kept up on her readings, and Owen would always tell her about the cases that he had.

As they arrived at the hospital Cristina grabbed Owens hand she was gripping it so tight

"Are you ok?"

"Fine. Just a…..little nervous about getting back into it"

"You will do great as you always do!"

"Thank you"

She leaned over and kissed him. They got out of the truck, Owen walked over to Cristina and put his arm around her waist she immediately wrapped her arm around his waist and grabbed his hand. They walked into the hospital and this time Cristina wasn't a visitor she was there to do her job, get back into cardio, and back into surgery

"Ok so I will text you for lunch as always, who's service are you on today?"

"I'm not even sure yet I am hoping Teddy's but April Kepner is Chief Resident thanks to someone, so who knows"

"Ok well text me and let me know or I will see you around"

Owen kissed her and walked down to his office. Luckily Meredith was waiting for Cristina in the resident's locker room.

"Hey! Welcome back! I am so happy your back at work!"

Mer got up and hugged Cristina

"Yeah I'm glad to be back to, it was kind of hard leaving Kevin but I'm totally ready to be back at work! do you know what service your on today yet?"

"Uhh yeah….Teddy's"

"Seriously? All I wanted was to get back into cardio; do you know where I am?"

"Well actually I think you're in trauma with Owen"

"Not that I don't want to spend the day with Owen but I just wanted to get back onto cardio! Ugh! Where is Kepner?"

As soon as Cristina said that April walked in

"Dr. Yang good to see you back at work! Good news you're working with Dr. Hunt today!"

As April said all cheery

"Kepner you knew I was coming back today you couldn't have given me cardio?"

"Oh well I thought it might be hard for you coming back for the first day so I thought I would put you with your husband! Maybe in the next few days you can get back on to cardio!"

"Yeah I better be getting back on to cardio this week!"

April was always a little bit intimidated by Cristina she didn't really know how to take her

"Ok well I will work on that for you for tomorrow then ok?"

"Ok, thank you Kepner"

Cristina liked April she didn't really show it but she did, she just hated her cheeriness.

"Well I better get to trauma, there better be like a huge mass trauma with lots of surgeries!"

"Oh Cristina Yang is back that's for sure! Well have fun with your husband in trauma well I'm in cardio!"

Mer said teasingly

"Oh that's so not even fair!"

They both walked out and went to find their attending. Cristina found Owen in the pit and it was pretty quiet

"Seriously this is what I get on my first day back some sutures and paperwork?"

"So Kepner put you on with me today!"

"Yeah she thought it would be hard for me to come back so she put me on with my husband, I just wanted cardio no offence by the way"

Cristina laughed

"None taken I know you wanted cardio you never know maybe we will get a surgery or 2 in trauma today!"

"I hope so!"

Cristina walked away and started to suture a guy who had a huge gash in his arm. A few minutes later there was an actual trauma coming in while, Cristina and Owen both gowned up for the incoming trauma. The people who emerged from the ambulance were more than familiar.
