A/N: So sorry for the delay! I was just really busy during the holidays. I hope you guys had nice holidays too! And thanks for all the kind reviews I loved reading them.

"Are you picking me up today?"

"Probably yes, why?"

"Just asking." Owen noticed something in his daughter's voice. He knew that something was wrong.

"What is it honey?"

"Huh?"

"What's wrong? I know something is up. You have to same undertone in your voice as your mother when something is wrong." Owen smiled. Olivia and Cristina were very similar which wasn't surprising, considering that she had had the main influence in her life.

"Nothing. I just wish… I wish Mom would pick me up. No offense. I love you and you're my father and you're great and everything but..."

"But you miss your mom, don't you."

"Yeah I do. I mean she's been so busy lately. She's barely home and we hardly ever talk and I know, I know that she needs to find a replacement for her, but still. It would be nice if she would spend a little more time with me."

Owen knew what his daughter was feeling. She felt abandoned. The exact feeling Cristina had tried to keep her from for the past decade, and obviously managed to do so. He figured that since Owen was always around now, she got a little too comfortable. He needed to talk to her before Olivia would start resenting her.

"Tell you what. I'll pick you up from school today and then we go and get you Mom and make her leave the hospital. We'll have lunch together and make it a family afternoon. How does that sound?"

Olivia nodded, smiling through her teary eyes.

"Okay." Owen smiled and pulled her into a hug.

"Thank you you're a great… you're great." It didn't escape his notice that she almost called him 'Dad' but pulled it together at the last minute. Every time she avoided calling him 'Dad' it was like a knife hit his heart. He hadn't expected Olivia to just accept him as if nothing had ever happened, but he had hoped that they would be past most of their issues by now.

XXXXX

"Cristina we need to talk." Owen said as he stomped into her office. He was surprised to see that she was not alone. He would recognize that blonde head from anywhere.

An hour earlier…

Cristina was sitting behind her desk, going through applications of possible replacements. There were a few candidates she would eventually consider, but none of them would make her feel content with a decision. Suddenly there she heard someone knocking at her door.

"Come in." She said, not looking up.

"Cristina Yang as she lives and breathes." She heard a very familiar voice say. Cristina lifted her head abruptly and thought she was seeing a ghost. Her mouth dropped open.

"Well you could at least hug your favorite mentor."

"Teddy! What are you doing here?" She said still speechless as she got up and pulled her former boss and mentor into a hug.

"I was in town and I thought I'd stop by." Teddy stated casually as she sat down on the couch.

"Okay well, wow. How did you know I was here?"

"Hello? You made quite a name for yourself. The Great Cristina Yang. Everyone knows you. By the way I'm a little mad at you."

"Why?"

"You've lived here for ten years, and you never came to visit me. You know Germany is not that far from here. Same language even."

"I'm sorry I was busy and I needed a new start."

"New start huh?" Teddy said, her eyes lingering at the pictures of Olivia that were all over the office.

"Yeah…"

"Your daughter?" She asked, nodding towards the pictures.

"Yes. Olivia, she's nine."

"Congrats. She's really cute."

"Thank you."

Neither of them knew what to say next. It was a little awkward. Judging from the expression on Teddy's face, she knew that she had left Owen when she had moved to Zurich.

"Look Teddy, I…"

"Does Owen know? That you moved on?"

Cristina sighed. So she did know the story. Just not the whole story.

"I know it's none of my business… But Owen is my friend, and I don't know how much you know but he's not good and…"

"It's his daughter. Olivia, she's Owen's daughter."

Teddy was speechless and stared at Cristina.

"And before you can say anything, he knows. He is picking her up from school right now by the way. "

"I'm sorry. I – he never told me."

"Well maybe because he found out about three months ago."

"He didn't know?"

"No he didn't."

"Why?"

"The last thing I had heard was that he and Amelia were getting married and having a baby. I didn't know that they…"

"Okay."

"Yeah."

There was an awkward pause again.

"But apparently you're figuring things out."

"We're trying. I told him we'd move back to Seattle but now I'm having trouble finding someone to take over for me here and with the baby, it's… Complicated right now."

"Wait – baby?" Cristina bit her lip. She wasn't intending to say anything.

"Yeah… I'm pregnant."

"Oh my god Cristina that's amazing. Owen must be so happy." She screamed as she jumped up and pulled Cristina into a hug.

"Thank you. But that's one of the main reasons why I need to find a replacement like, now."

"So the rumors true then."

"What rumors?"

"That you're hiring a replacement because you're expanding to the US."

"Oh that. Yeah I guess that's true."

"And now I know why."

"Well I won't be expanding anything if I can't find someone to take over." She said a little frustrated.

"Teddy to the rescue. That's if you'll have me." Teddy said grinning.

"What?" Cristina looked at her, not wanting to believe what she just heard.

"I'm taking over for you. I'll manage Zurich and you go be happy with Owen."

"Teddy I don't know what to say…"

"Consider it a favor to an old friend."

"But your job at MedCon…"

"Don't worry about that." Cristina raised an eyebrow.

"What happened?"

"I… Nothing."

"Come on, you can tell me. After all you want me to hire you." She smirked.

"I got back together with Andrew. Two years after I moved. Everything was going great, we got married, and had kids, two, Henry and Sarah, but in the past few years our relationship just… We were growing apart. So we got divorced. Two weeks ago, I might add. And now… I just need to get away."

"Teddy I'm sorry."

"Don't be. It was for the best. I loved Andrew but Henry… He will always be the one. And he couldn't handle that."

"Well consider yourself the next chief of the Klausmann Institute, Zurich, Switzerland."

"Really?"

"Yes. I don't think there's anyone I'd rather have my hospital running than you."

"Thank you. Thank you so much."

"Are the kids living with you?"

"Yeah they are. Why?"

"Well I have something in mind…"

Now…

"Teddy? What are you doing here?" Owen said staring at the two women in front of him.

"Owen, she is going to take over for me. Teddy is my replacement."

"What?"

"You heard her Owen, I'm taking over for your wife."

"I'm not his wife."

"She's not my wife." They said at the same time.

"Fine whatever."

"But Andrew, the kids, MedCon…"

"Andrew and I are divorced. I need to get away from there. I need a fresh start."

"You got divorced? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Oh you're one to talk."

"What?"

"Olivia."

"That's… I only found out about three months ago. Things have been crazy I…"

"Okay, we all have things we didn't tell each other. Let's just leave it at that." Cristina interfered.

"Anyway, I have to go now. I have a train to catch."

"So you weren't in town, were you?" Teddy smirked.

"No, I wasn't I just needed the job." They both laughed. Teddy waved them goodbye and closed the door behind her.

"You wanted to talk to me about something?"

"Uh, yes."

"Well?"

"Livie."

"What about her?"

"She misses you. You have been so busy lately and she can sense the distance."

"I'm sorry that I'm trying to get our family back together."

"I'm not saying you did something wrong, I'm just telling you how our daughter feels."

"If you're trying to play the guilt card here…"

"I'm not. I'm simply telling you that she needs her mother."

"Every child needs their mother." She snapped. She knew only too well how Olivia was feeling at the moment. Even though her daughter wouldn't show her too often, she was a very sensitive person.

"Exactly. That's why I'm taking you with me right now to pick her up from school and then we'll have a family afternoon."

"Owen I have arrangements to make and…"

"Not today. Today you will put your family first. You will tell our daughter that you love her and that she is the most important thing in the world and that nothing will ever change that. You will pick her up from school with me and spend the afternoon with us until you bring her to bed tonight. You are going to do that, because if you don't… She will start to resent you. And you and I both know that you don't want that. Right?"

"Okay mister you stop it right there. I have done nothing but be there for her. I have supported her, I have loved her, I was there. For the past ten years I was there. And I'm sorry if I'm a little busy right now, but that's not on me. That's on you."

"Are you seriously blaming me for this?" Cristina sighed. She knew that he was right. She just didn't have the energy to deal with much else right now. She decided that this fight wouldn't take them anywhere so she decided to give in.

"No I'm… Let's just drop it and go pick her up okay?"

"Fine. But trust me she needs this."

"She's my daughter. I know what she needs."

"She is my daughter too."
