New Beginnings

The Wedding

"Meredith! Get in here!" I shout.

"Calm down Cristina. You're fine. What's wrong?" She asks me.

"There's a hole in my dress. The lace ripped!". I say.

"Okay, let's see what we can do here." She says, as she pulls out her phone. "Hey April, when are you going to be here? You're in the parking lot? Great. Get in here now. Cristina's freaking. "

"April is coming? Okay. She can probably help. Great. Don't tell Alex this happened in like ten years. " I tell Mer.

"Why did your dress rip?". She asks.

I glare at her, "Really, Mer, I'm pregnant. You really forgot that?" I say.

"Well, yeah. I can't tell. " She says.

"Oh my gods. I'm sorry I'm late Cristina. But I'm here now. " April rants.

"April, did you see Callie?". Meredith quietly asks April, probably so hat I couldn't hear, but I can, obviously.

"No, Arizona is here with Sofia, but I have no clue where Callie is. " April tells Mer.

"Okay. We did get Arizona's measurements when everyone else was. Get her in here now. Give Sofia to Bailey. She can take her for a while. Go get Arizona right now. "

"Okay. I will if you get Bailey to take Sofia. " April says.

"Yeah sure. Whatever. " Meredith says.

They both walk out I to the hall.

MEREDITH'S PERSPECTIVE

I find Arizona and I pull her aside.

"Hey, do you know where Callie is?". I ask the blond.

"No, but she was probably pulled I to an emergency surgery. Why?". Arizona asks.

"She's not here, and she's supposed to be a bridesmaid. So you are going to take her place. " I tell her.

"Uh... Why?". She slowly questions.

"Because you are here, and she isn't. And we have a dress for you in case this happened, because Callie got put on a huge case. " I explain while I drag her back to the room where Cristina was.

"But what about Sofia?". Arizona asks.

"Bailey will take her. She'll be totally fine. Don't worry about her. " I assure her.

"Fine. But the dress better look awesome. " She says.

"It will. " I say.

Turning my attention back to Cristina once we are back in the room, and saw that her hair was a big pouf ball, and that her eye liner was in lines down her cheeks.

"Oh my gods Cristina! Are you okay? What's wrong?". I ask her.

"I-" she hiccuped. "I want to cut. I want a body, a nice bloody cardio surgery. I need blood on my hands." She said.

"Cristina. Listen to me. You don't need to fix a heart. You will go get married to Alex, your soul mate. You will go out into the church with all of your friends and family. I will be right ahead of you. I will always have your back. I'm your person. You can trust me. After you and Alex are married, you can go back to the hospital and fix a heart. But you've gotta go do this now. " I say, trying to be confident.

"You-you're right Mer. I can do this. I've got to do this. I love Alex with all my heart. Literally. No pun intended. Move. Wait, nevermind. You're walking ahead of me. Go. I'll be right out. "

"Okay. Arizona, April, go ahead. I'll be right before Cristina." Turning my attention to Cristina, I say "Cristina, I'm going to walk out those oak doors. When they close, you have got to go out in the rest of the family that you made from the hospital, and your friends, and stun them, and make Alex see why he fell in love with you to begin with. You are beautiful, and he is the luckiest man to get you as his wife. Let's go rock this. "

"Okay. " Cristina said, finally totally confident.

I walk out of the doors, they close behind me. I lift my head, I see April and Arizona's rose colored dresses ahead of me. I'm about half way down the isle, when I hear the heavy oak doors open and close, and the audience gasp. Then it is in complete silence. I look to Alex's face, and it is literally lit up the the fireworks on the fourth of July.
