A/N: This chapter took forever to write so it's not the best…but hopefully it helps move things along.
"You know Cristina a child needs two parents." Jane said as she sat across from Cristina who was at the kitchen table.
"Are you planning to kill me? Because that's the only way our child wouldn't have two parents."
Ignoring Cristina's comment " A child needs stability." Jane continued.
Sighing "Our child will be fine." They had been going back and forth for about thirty minutes and Cristina was ready to leave and hideout at Meredith's. Walking into the kitchen for a glass of water where Burke was making dinner she gave him a glare which turned into a smile. He was confused by the smile but when she and took his hand and put it on her stomach he understood.
"Help Me, the stress it's not good for the baby," She pleaded. He smiled and fought the urge to kiss her. She was using the baby to get her way and it made her look adorable. She certainly know knew to melt his resolve.
"Dinner is almost done. And then they'll leave after dinner." Burke promised as he turned her around and sent her back into the dinning room where his parents were.
"Burke's getting ready to bring out dinner." She said hoping the interrogation would stop.
Jane decided to change the subject a bit. "So Cristina, What did your mother say when she found out you were pregnant."
She was saved by Burke, who brought dinner out but from the look Jane gave her she knew the conversation wasn't over. She hadn't told her mother yet well she wasn't exactly planning too. She knew that Burke and his parents wouldn't be pleased to hear that, they were like some happy family that were more then willing to share everything. She wasn't like that and she wasn't about to change.
Dinner was full of conversation of the baby. Jane wanted to help decorate the baby's room, the one Burke was staying in, she hadn't even thought about decorating the room but she was sure she didn't want Burke's mother to do it. Burke gave her a reassuring leg squeeze under the table.
Mama, me and Cristina were looking forward to doing that ourselves." Jane gave a curious glance she didn't believe that Cristina was actually looking forward to it. Jane knew that Cristina was back to being her old self, the person she was when she first met her minus the red lingerie of course.
"Don't you think you should be doing that soon? The baby will be here before you know it." Jane said.
"Will get it done before the baby comes mama." Burke said as he got up and started to clear the table.
Jane had no doubt that her son would make a wonderful father but she could that he still longed for Cristina to be his. She wanted her son to be happy that's why she made effort to accept with marriage to Cristina and when things didn't go as planed she saw first hand how distraught her son was.
Walking away from the table were father and son were cleaning up she sat by Cristina who was in the living room. Ignoring Cristina's annoyed sigh she decide to help her son. out.
" Preston is going to be a great father, don't you think you should try work things out?"
Cristina was actually getting tried of rolling her eyes, Jane hadn't stop going on about Burke being a great father, and she already knew that he'd be a good father. "Burke left me, a baby does change that." This was going to be harder then Jane thought. She never thought she'd have to convince anyone to date her wonderful son, she usually spent her energy in chasing them away knowing that they weren't good enough for him.
"Burke loves you and he wants to be a family with you and the baby." Donald who walked into the living room with a questioning look interrupted her before she could continue.
"Preston is bringing in coffee." He said as he sat down next to his wife. Burke walked in carrying a try of coffee and tea for Cristina. He could tell by the silence that something had happened, he wasn't sure he really wanted to know.
"How is it going to work?" Jane asked breaking the silence that filled the room. "How are you and Cristina going to raise a child together and not be together?"
"uhh…we haven't exactly figured that out mama." Burke said. His eyes never met his mother, he knew this situation wasn't the ideal way to raise a child and he never liked to disappoint his mother. "we'll figure it out."
'Don't you think a child deserves two parents who are together."
"Jane" Donald knew that this conversation wasn't good.
"You mother wants us together." Cristina interjected. "Can you remind her that you dumped me." Cristina said before she got up and went into her room and shut the door.
Looking at his parents Burke's face was full of regret and defeat. "I'm trying to fix it, I can't push her." He said in a low voice. "I made a mistake and I'm trying to fix it."
"Preston"
"No mama, I'll do whatever she wants, as long as I get to be apart of her life." She let him back into her life after he broke things off the first time. He prayed that she would eventually let him back in again.
