Chapter 10:
"Jennifer…" Owen said a little startled.
"We had been waiting for you at the airport for almost an hour Owen. We had to take a cab to come here. You know how much Jack hates cabs." Just then the little blonde boy in Jennifer's arms leaped towards Owen "Dadda"
Owen took the boy in his arms and cradled him to his chest, lovingly "Hey buddy" Owen kissed his forehead and just then his eyes caught Cristina's eye. And he forgot to breathe, his heart sank.
"Jenny" It was Mellie, running towards them. She instantly threw her arms around Jennifer. "Oh I missed you. How is Monica? How is the baby? Oh wait, Hey Jack" Mellie took Jack from Owen and gave him a bear hug. "Did you miss your Aunt Mel, because Aunt Mel really missed you"
Jennifer moved closer to Owen and kissed him lightly on his lips, "Hey you" Owen gave her a kind smile "Hey"
"Dr. Yang?" Mellie suddenly called out turning everyone's attention towards Crisina, who was trying to make a quite exit from the scene.
"Hello, Dr. Kent"
"You are still here. You met my sister Jennifer? Jennifer this is the amazing Dr. Yang I keep talking about and Dr. Yang this is my sister Jennifer" Mellie very casually introduced the two women.
"Cristina use to work here at GSM. She moved to Ohio for better career opportunities a couple of years ago. She is here for a patient of her's" Owen added in a strained voice. "And, Cristina, this is Jennifer …. my fiancée" In that moment Cristina's heart broke into tiny little all over again. Although she had figured out that Owen was in an intimate relation with this woman, but hearing it from him, made it official and it literally broke her heart.
"It's a pleasure meeting you Dr. Yang. Mellie really can't stop talking about you" Jennifer extended her hand towards Cristina which she politely shook.
"It's nice to meet you too Jennifer" she said, bracing herself gracefully, hiding her true emotions with a warm smile.
"And this is Jack. …. our son …. He...is 2" Cristina ran her hand through Jack's hair, which reminded her of his father.
"He is adorable… He… He has your eyes Owen" Cristina said, her voice shaking a little. Owen could feel the sadness in her voice which broke his heart into million pieces once again.
"Thank you. And yes he does has his father's eyes" Jennifer replied cheerfully, completely unaware of Cristina or Owen's feeling.
"Cristina, I was just looking for you" Meredith approached them. "Hello everyone" she politely greeted everyone carefully assessing the situation and turned towards Cristina. "Hey, I was hoping you would like come home with me. Stay the night. We could hang out, talk. What do you say?"
"Yes, I would like that" Cristina said, as a sad sigh escaped her.
"Ok, great. Let's go then" Meredith placed her arm around Cristina shoulder and squeezed her lightly. "Ok, everyone good night" Meredith quickly bid her goodbye.
"It was really nice to meet you Jennifer. Goodnight"
"I'll see you tomorrow?" Cristina was turning to leave when Owen called out from behind; his voice shaky and scared.
"Goodbye Owen" Cristina said, looking directly into his eyes, corners of her own eyes getting wet. After a brief silent moment she turned and left.
I'm so glad for your kind reviews everyone. Thank you so much :)
