If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me?
In the morning, Cristina woke up to chubby hands grabbing her hair and face. She frowned in strangeness and slowly opened her eyes facing the brightness around her and making out the little figure of a ginger baby boy beside her, against Owen's pillows.
"Hey Leo…" she greeted the boy in a sleepy voice, taking his hands off of her hair, so she could straight up in bed. She took a look at her alarm clock. It read 7:45A.M, so she was still on time.
"Ba!" the boy exclaimed and Cristina took him into her arms, holding him up in front of her.
"Yes, Cris-ti-na" she mumbled. "Can you say Cristina?" she asked as she smelled his ginger head, filling her nostrils with that amazing baby scent.
Yang never thought she would be amazed by that smell. She adored it on Zola and Bailey and now Ellis, but never in her life she dreamt of being a mom, or acting like one.
But now, holding Leo closer and feeling his smooth chubby arms around her neck, she figured she wouldn't have it any other way.
Course she had woken up eager to go to work and cut and get head deep into her trial, but that moment of peace with the infant made her heartbeat steady and her mind clearer. It was like magic.
Baby magic. Suddenly, she caught with the corner of her eye, Owen by the doorframe observing them.
Cristina smiled and moved Leo to sit on her lap. "Come here daddy" she motioned with Leo's hand calling for his father.
Owen laughed at her mocking tone trying to make out baby voice, and took the breakfast tray with him to the bed.
"Oh! We get breakfast in bed!" said a animated Cristina after a stolen kiss from the man.
"Actually, Leo wasn't included, because he was supposed to be asleep, so…" Owen informed as he took the baby from Cristina and kissed his round face.
"I see…" Cristina offered and took a coffee mug in her hands. "I can make up to you later."
She watched a board smile appearing in Owen's face.
"I look forward to that then." Clarified the man as he fed Leo some fruits he brought on the tray.
She smirked at him and finished her meal.
"So, today Leo's things are going to arrive, so remember checking for anything wrong, and…" Owen cut her off.
"What we talked yesterday?"
She let out a defeated sigh.
"I just like-"
"Having everything under control, I know that, I love that about you, but regarding this matter, I'm the boss."
She got out of bed and was walking to the bathroom when she turned around.
"Oh, last night you showed me you can be bossy elsewhere as well, Dr. Hunt…"
He smirked and winked at her as she entered the suite bathroom to get ready for work.
Cristina got home around 9P.M. and was surprised to find the house so quiet. She already knew, based on Leo's bedtime the last days, he was probably asleep by now, but she figured Owen would be waiting for her in the living room or something.
She dropped her keys nearby and took off her boots, going into her room, but before she reached her door, or their door, depending on how you approached the situation, Cristina caught the veranda lights at the end of the hall.
Owen heard her coming home, and assumed she would find her way where he was.
He had spent a good portion of his day trying to figure out some way to tell Cristina he would have to get back to Seattle soon. It would be for a short amount of time, until he organized everything there was to be at GSMH.
In the morning, aside from inspecting all Leo's new furniture, toys and other stuff Cristina had bought him, Owen had been coming up with a proper manner of dropping the bomb. She would be pissed, or upset, because as long as she was aware of, he was there to stay. And he was, Hunt just wasn't sure she would have him back in the first place, so he had made his decisions cautiously. He wasn't all alone anymore. He had a kid, and that was the most important thing, aside Cristina right now.
"Hey…" she greeted him. The redhead was seated on a lounge couch she had there. Beside him, a bottle of white wine and two wine glasses, his was half empty already. He needed liquid courage.
She approached him and kissed his lips as she seated on his lap, running her hands through his red curls.
Owen buried his nose on her neck and hair, absorbing her scent, as he always had done and always would, if she let him.
"Hi." He replied as he captured her lips again.
They were engrossed in each other's presence and were enjoying the moment and the breathtaking Switzerland view they had. Owen served her wine and she moved to sit beside him, with her head on his shoulder, as they sipped their drink.
"I have to tell you something…" he started and Cristina looked up into his eyes. "I have to go back to Seattle."
She frowned and Owen elaborated.
"When I first came here, I was afraid you were going to turn me and Leo down, so I haven't resigned from GSMH yet."
For a moment she was quiet and only sipped her wine once more.
"So, you are going back to get things done and then come back, right?"
"That's the plan, yes." He assured her.
Cristina sighed in relief.
"I thought you were leaving me for good." Confessed the Asian.
"No, babe, never…" he reached for her hand and squeezed it. "It'll be only for a few days." He promised.
"It's okay, I understand, we'll be waiting for you."
"We?" he was puzzled.
"Me and Leo" she clarified taking another sip.
"I was planning on taking him with me, actually." The ginger smiled a little uncomfortable.
"No need, Owen! Leo likes me, and you said it yourself, it'll only be a few days. There's no need to put the baby through such stress."
Owen was completely taken aback by her response. He was noticing she was willing to try, she said it herself, she was willing to become Leo's friend and all. He couldn't be happier, but his dad half was crushing at the thought of letting his kid behind, even though it was with an amazing doctor, the love of his life, no less.
"I appreciated this Cristina bu-"
"Oh! No 'buts' Owen, you know I'm perfectly capable of taking care of him, he'll be with me all the time, and when I'm at the OR, he'll be watched by the awesome nurses at the daycare." She explained, trying to put him at ease as she did with her patients' parents all the time.
"I know you are, sweetheart, I'm just…"
"You're a parent Owen, that's normal, but you know I'd never hurt him. You know that, right?" she inquired as Owen got off the couch.
"I trust you Cristina, I love you both and there's nothing that I want more than see you two getting along and I'm thrilled that's happening, but I've never been separated from him and I'm afraid he'll think I abandoned him as his mom did."
Cristina got up and put her wine glass aside, going for the man, that was now by the railing watching the skyline.
"I don't get what you're feeling, because I'm not a parent, but I do care about Leo and I promise you I'm going to treat him like my patients, with ultimately care and acknowledge all his necessities, I can guarantee you that Owen."
He had his back to her and she put her hand on his shoulder and waited for him to speak.
"Besides, we will skype every day." She completed.
Owen turned around and smiled at her.
How has he gotten so lucky?
"You can spill, I am your dream come true!"
He laughed at her antiques.
"I love you." He declared and she captured his lips once again.
