You're the Love of my Life [crowen fanfic #2]

You and I

Owen: Cristina, how many lines are there?

Cristina: Two

Owen: Really? Two?

He smiled and looked at the other test, once again: positive

He hugged her and kissed her forehead

Owen: We're gonna have a baby

Cristina: Owen....I

Owen: Come on, could you at least fake being happy

Cristina: Owen listen to me!

Owen: I'm listening

Cristina: I don't want a baby, I'm in the middle of my residency, I have so much more things to learn, I do not want to have a baby

Owen: You just need time to-

Cristina: No Owen there is no discussion, I just don't want a baby

Owen: Well guess what, you have one and it's alive and I want one

Cristina: I need time, to think

Owen: Think about what? Think about whether to kill our baby or not?

Cristina's eyes got all watery

Owen: Oh my god, I'm so sorry, that was selfish and mean, I'm sorry

He tried to hug her but she pushed him away

Cristina: Owen please leave, I'll see you tomorrow, right now I need to be alone

Owen: Seriously?

Cristina: Yes

He took his jacket and left and she sat down on the bed, trying to stay strong but on the edge of the breaking point. All night she turned over over in her bed trying to fall asleep but just couldn't. All she could think about was this human being inside of her, and about the last time she was carrying a child, because her biggest fear was to loose the child she'd promised to give to Owen, because she knew that if she accepted to give Owen the child he always wanted she'd have so many chances to miscarry and disappoint him again. Finally, it was morning and she was gonna be able to focus on her work and nothing else, until she learned she had been put on trauma to fill in for Alex who was staying home with Izzie

Cristina: Hey April! Hey!

April: Hi Cristina

Cristina: You want a fair trade? Trauma for Neuro

April: You hate Neuro

Cristina: no I don't ha-okay yeah but I really can't be on trauma today

April: No, I like Neuro and I'm never on Shepherd's service

She left and Cristina realized she'd have to work with Owen all day. She got to the ER and when she spotted Owen turned away and tried to find a bed where someone needed help. But as soon as she found someone who needed stitches Mark arrived and she heard the sirens of an ambulance coming towards the ER, and who could resist sirens screaming "blood" and "we need your help". She went to the entry of the ER and showed up just as the ambulance arrived.

Paramedic: 34 years old female, blunt cardiac injury and rupture of the cardiac chamber

Owen: Okay page Cardio right now, we need to get her to surgery, Yang you're coming with us

Nurse: Dr. Hunt, we have no cardio attendings available

Owen: Call Teddy Altman

Nurse: She's in surgery

Owen: Call her!

They rushed to the OR, where they opened that woman's chest. Owen got Teddy on the phone.

Teddy: I'm in surgery

Owen: We need you, we need a cardio attending

Teddy: You have Cristina, she can do it

Cristina: No I can't

Owen: Yes, yes of course you can do it

Teddy: You've seen me perform this surgery so many times, Cristina you can do it

Cristina: Okay, okay I'll do it

Owen: I'm here just in case

She took a deep breath and reached for the scalpel

Cristina: Okay let's do this

[...]

Cristina came out of the OR closely followed by Owen

Cristina: Oh my god this was AWESOME, I could feel the heart, I haven't felt like that in so long!

She turned around and he was smiling and giggling

Cristina: That was such a HIGH

Owen: I'm proud of you, you handled it so well

Cristina: Thank you

He touched her shoulder and hugged her

Owen: I get it, if you don't want this child, I totally get it

Cristina: But you were so...enthusiastic

Owen: Cristina, you were so happy after this surgery, I realize that if I take that away from you, you will never be the woman I fell in love with so Cristina if you don't want this child I will respect your decision.

Cristina: Okay, thank you so much

Owen: Let's go home

They went back to Cristina's apartment and Owen made dinner, he was looking Cristina, still struggling to make the decision.

Owen: Give me the phone, I'll call them for you

Cristina: You'd do that?

Owen: Yes

Cristina: Thank you

He took the phone and dialed the number

Owen: Hi planned parenthood? Yes I am Mr. Hunt and I'm calling for an appointment, abortion yes...my wife. Yes, Cristina Yang. Tomorrow morning, it's your only option? Okay, then see you tomorrow, goodbye

He hang up and went to sit down next to her

Cristina: Thank you so much, I love you

Owen: I love you too
