Chapter 3
Nathan Pittsburgh was on the airport of Seattle. It was raining outside that was the normal weather in Seattle. First he lived 5 km of Beverley Hills. After living there like 20 years he moved to New York. He had to go there for his job and he wanted to meet new people. He is a manager of an International Company. He was competitive, stubborn and social. A thing that Cristina doesn't have. He loves his daughter no matter what. He remembered the day she was born. He never saw a new born kid with such dark curls. She also made him smile. She was competitive like him. She was always learning to get the best marks in school. At the time Cristina was going to college when he moved to New York. During the moving he lost her number first he felt guilty. But he thought that maybe it was better this way once she would be an independent woman. So he had to let her go.
Cristina was in the locker room and she was late. Very late because Burke just needed to have breakfast together. Cristina doesn't do breakfast. So she only had coffee. When she had her scrubs on Bailey stood at the door. She looked furious. She was too late the third time in one week. Bailey said ''I don't want to hear any excuse why you're so late, if you're not on time you won't get the good cases so you are today in the pit''. Cristina sighed she would like to have a bloody surgery but no she would be the whole day in the pit. Bailey left and Cristina was on her way to the pit.
Back to Seattle Airport. Cristina had told him that she worked in a hospital, she always wanted to be a surgeon. She wanted to safe lives. She was so young but she always knew what she wanted. He first went to check-in in his hotel. Her father was fancy always dressed in nice clothes. Most of the time he was wearing suits. After he checked in he took a cab and said to the driver he had to be at the Seattle Grace Hospital. So he was on his way he didn't told Cristina was going to visit her today and especially at the hospital. But he wanted to surprise her it was so many years ago. He wondered how his daughter would look like.
Cristina was bored. She had been all morning in the pit and no one saved her out of here for a bloody surgery. She had only a boy he was 11 years old and he needed stitches on his arm. It was time for lunch but probably the all had amazing surgeries. And she would hear that all time during her lunch.
Nathan was at the SGH he thought it was a nice building. He was searching for an desk to ask where Cristina was and if she was working today. Burke was at the desk and saw a man looking around him searching for someone. So Burke walked up to him and asked ''Sir can I help you?''. Nathan was surprised and answered ''I'm looking for someone''. Burke looked at the man he looked like Cristina they had the same dark brown eyes. Would this be her father? But he would come at the and of the week and it was Wednesday. ''If you tell the name of this person I can help you'' he said professionally. Nathan said ''I'm looking for Cristina Yang she has to work here''. Burke was surprised he had met Cristina's father before her. ''I will ask her come to the waiting room follow me I will bring you there'' Burke said an Nathan followed him. Waiting for his daughter he hadn't seen in such a long time.
Michelle the woman who worked at the information desk asked if Dr. Cristina Yang could come to the waiting room. Cristina was surprised who would she meet there? She walked to the waiting room and she saw a familiar man on the couch she couldn't believe her eyes. It was her father he looked almost the same. Okay his hair was total grey know and he was older in his face but it was still her father. Nathan saw Cristina and Cristina gave him a hug. Burke was standing on the corner of the waiting room. He didn't want to disturb this emotional moment of Cristina and her father. Cristina and her father where talking about everything and nothing. She asked him everything about where he lives now and how the flight was. ''Dad'' she said she stopped him in his story about his work. ''Yes, Cristina'' he answered. ''Do you want to come over tonight at my and my boyfriends apartment to have dinner?''. She didn't knew what he would think of Burke. She never had her boyfriends let meet her father. She was a daddy's girl. Burke had to earn her father's respect. ''Of course Cristina, it's a pleasure to meet him''.
Her father went to his hotel to dress for the dinner at their apartment. Cristina was searching for Burke. Burke was standing at the O.R. board looking on what time his surgery was planned. Burke saw her and smiled ''Hey how is your day?''. ''Well I was the whole morning in the pit and at lunch my dad was here'' she said looking to the O.R. board. ''Oh Burke, I asked my father if he could come over tonight for dinner at the apartment''. ''You're fine with that right?'' She asked. ''You don't have to ask me to invite him but what do I have to cook for him?'' he asked cuss he had no idea what her father like. ''He likes fish with potatoes and vegetables''. She said. ''Okay I'm off at six you?'' he asked and she was finally looking at him. ''Me either'' she said. ''But I need to do grocery shopping and then we can go home when is your father coming?''. ''He comes at 19.30'' she said and he had to go he had a bloody surgery. The lucky bastard. So I decided to watch his surgery.
They were in their apartment and Burke was cooking. Cristina had done the table and was sitting on the couch reading a magazine. They heard a knock on the door. So Cristina opened the door it was her father and he had a big bouquet of white lilies. Cristina's favorite. Burke was a little jealous how did he not know that Cristina liked those flowers. If he knew that he would give her flowers. While Cristina was searching for a vase to put the flowers in Burke and Nathan were shaking hands. Nathan said ''Hey are you working in that hospital too?'' He remembered him he helped him to find Cristina. Cristina had no idea where her father was talking about. ''Yes I am'' answered Burke. ''I'm Dr. Preston Burke''. ''Nice to meet you I'm Nathan Pittsburgh''. Burke had to go further with his cooking so Cristina led her father to the couch. Her father elbowed to her and said ''A surgeon and he cooks great I see you have a good guy'' he laughed. Cristina blushed a little her father was positive about Burke. That was good. She saw Burke looking at her with a big smile this could be a nice evening.
After the dinner Nathan said ''Thank you, Preston for this dinner you cook really good''. ''Thank you'' said Burke. ''Cristina I don't know if you can but tomorrow there's a ballet show they do the Le Chant du Rossignol we could go'' Nathan asked. Cristina would love to go the ballet show it was so long ago ''That sounds great dad.'' She said. ''Okay I will call you about it and I go back to my hotel it was a long day for me''. Cristina gave him a hug and Nathan gave Burke a hand and said ''Be good for my daughter''. Cristina blushed. Her father was so protective. ''I will'' said Burke and they said goodbye to Nathan.
