"Are you mad I came?" Burke asked as they walked towards the stable. Melanie had run into the stables as soon as the car had stopped.

"Should I be mad?"

He sighed she was back to being the Cristina he first met. "I just wanted to spend more time with you and your daughter."

"Why?" she angrily asked.

"So you are mad at me. He let out a sigh. " You want to know WHY…Because I missed you and you have the most adorable daughter I have ever met. I just wanted to spend some time with you."

"You shouldn't miss me. I'm married. Nothing is ever going to change between us."

They were finally talking about the dark cloud looming over them.

"I'm so sorry for what I did. For how I destroyed everything we had."

"Stop being sorry. Sorry doesn't change anything."

"I know sorry doesn't change anything. But it doesn't stop me for regretting how things ended. You have every right to be mad at me but.."

"I'm not mad at you. What happened between us was a long time ago and it doesn't matter anymore." Looking towards the stables she continued. "Mel kept talking about how much she liked you in the car and it just freaked me out. I know what you thought when you first saw her."

He looked down feeling guilty, "She should have been ours. That's what I thought when I first saw her. When I imagined our kids they always had your hair and she has your hair. And I just couldn't stop my mind from going there."

"Come and meet Freddy Dr. Burke. Come on Mom, hurry." Mel called from the fence of the stable.

Walking towards her daughter. "You still coming?" she asked.

"Yeah, for a while. I promised."

They spent an hour feeding and brushing Freddy. Melanie kept talking Burke's ear off. She told him all about school and her friends. Well Mel started asking if she could ride Freddy, Cristina decided that it was time to leave. "I'll walk you to your car. Come on Princess." Burke said picking her up and started to walk towards the car. "I had fun spending the day with you."

"I had fun too Dr. Burke." Melanie said she placed her head on his shoulder and started to fall asleep, Burke help Cristina put her in the car.

"Is there anyway we can talk again." Burke said hoping that this wasn't the last time they see each other. They may not be able to reconcile but he'd settle for hearing her voice every once in a while.

"I'm Pregnant" she whispered. She wasn't supposed to say that but he had to know that they were never going to be together.

"Oh…Congratulations."� he said in a low voice. None of this made sense she was supposed to be getting a divorce. "Does he take care of you?" Burke asked lightly touching her stomach. She wasn't showing but he felt compelled to touch her. It reminded him of the baby they lost.

"I don't need anyone to take care of me!" she stated annoyed. She was never going to be that girl who needed to be taken care of.

"I know that, but a husband should take care of his wife. No matter what."

"He's a great father and he does his best to be there but it is never that easy."

"Why isn't he here now?"

"Work. He works a lot." she let out a small laugh. "I'd always thought I'd be the workaholic."

"What does he do?" Burke asked.

"Do you really want to talk about my husband?"

"Kind of, I want to know how he did it."

"How he did what?" Cristina asked puzzled.

"How he got everything I wanted with you."

She let out a deep sigh it was his fault he didn't have it. "We met at the hospital, he was representing the hospital in a lawsuit. He's a lawyer. He was nice but I really wasn't interested at first. Then he finally wore me down and I went out with him. It was soo different from you and me. He didn't move too fast or want to talk things to death. It was kinda nice. Then before I knew it I was pregnant with Mel. She was a surprise, we didn't plan her, we never had even talked about kids. When I found out I didn't tell him, he found out he found my�prenatal vitamins. He asked me to marry him and I said no partly because I didn't want to get married because I was knocked up and partly because I still wasn't ready. He was disappointed when I said no but he didn't get mad or anything. Then a couple of years after Mel was born, he surprised us�by driving to the�courthouse. There was Meredith and a friend of his and he said that we belong together and if we didn't get married today that everyday he'd drive us to the courthouse till I said yes. And so we got married. Things were fine at first but after a while we stopped seeing each other and I found out he was having an affair. The day after I moved out I found out I was pregnant. I'm waiting for him to sign the divorce papers, he still wants to try to work things out though."

"Do you still love him?"

"Burke."

"I just want to know."

"I love him. He's a great father and he'll always be apart of my life. I just never was in love with him."

That was all Burke needed to hear. He placed his lips on hers and kissed her hard it had been far too long since he tasted her. She hesitated only for a second before she slightly parted her lips letting his tongue enter her mouth. The kiss turned passionate, Cristina let out a low moan when Burke gently�griped her hair and�pushed her body with his against the car. He didn't want to let her go; he never wanted to stop kissing her.

When they both finally need air there lips broke apart but their arms stayed wrapped around each other. "I should go." Cristina barely let out. Because they were still so close their lips touched with every word she spoke. "As long I can go with you." Burke responded between placing kisses on her lips.

"What?" Cristina said pushing him away finally putting some distance between them.

"Nothing." Burke quickly responded taking note of the shock look on her face. He didn't want them to leave on bad terms. "I just...I thought maybe I...Can I call you sometime?"

"You said that you wanted to 'come with me'." She wanted to hear more. To know what he really wanted.

"I just I have to see you again. And to see you everyday would be more then I deserve. But I know you're not ready to forgive me so I'll settle to just hearing your voice and knowing how you're doing." Burke explained to her hoping that she'd be willing to take a step.

"I..I ..I don't know. I just don't know." She had forgotten what this felt like, the way he was looking into her eyes, telling her he loved her without saying a word. He'd been the only person who could make her feel like a complete girl.

"I don't want to push you. For right now I'd settle for just knowing that I'd get to see you again."

With tears in glistening in her eyes she slowly nodded her head. "okay..." before she could continue his lips were back on her.�Burke was only going to let her concentrate on moving forward. �
