I'm here for you, always

Part 18

The five of them hurried into work, they were late because they had a little trouble trying to get Jo out of her headspace. 

Teddy was upset but she didn't want to tell Cristina. But of course Cristina had already noticed this.

"Teddy baby, what's wrong?" Cristina stopped before entering the hospital

"It's ok, it's nothing."

"I bet it isn't. Just tell me."

"I just don't want to go to work, I want to stay with you." 

"Awww... I know bubs I want to stay with you too, but we have to go to work."

"I know we have to, but I miss you." Teddy frowned.

"Here how about I give you my cap, you can wear it for your surgery today. How's that?" Cristina searched through her bag and handed the cap out to Teddy

"I like that." Teddy smiled and took it "Thank you Cristina." 

"You're welcome Teds. Now we better go, we're really late." 

"Ok, love you." Teddy said as they parted ways

"Love you Teddy." Cristina replied

Cristina had a pretty slow day, nothing special. She was going to call Teddy to meet her in the on-call room to sleep but before she could pick up her phone she got a page from Bailey. 

"9-1-1? In the ER?" Cristina whispered to herself

Cristina turned around and started running to answer Bailey's page. When she arrived out of breath, she was met with the ER empty, she spotted Bailey.

"Bailey! What's the 9-1-1?" 

"Oh finally you're here." Bailey grabbed her arm and started leading her to Trauma Room 2.

"What? What's wrong?" 

Bailey answered her question by opening the door, Cristina heard Teddy crying.

"Thank you Bailey." Cristina turned to Bailey, then quickly went to Teddy. Bailey closed the door to give them privacy.

"Teddy baby, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" Cristina was frantically looking for any sign of injury.

"i-i'm ok." Teddy cried

"You obviously aren't bubs, what happened?" Cristina picked Teddy up and sat her down on her lap, holding her close.

"M-my sur-gery d-didn't go w-ell, m-my pat-ient di-ed. H-her hus-band star-ted yel-ling at m-me." 

Cristina frowned

"I-i-i tri-ed" Teddy cried harder "ev-erything."

"Oh bubba, you're ok. It's not your fault, he shouldn't have yelled at you. You're ok now."

Cristina rocked Teddy side to side, whispering softly in her ear, and giving her kisses on her head.

When Teddy calmed Cristina looked at her watch, 11:54 pm. 

"Teddy we should get to bed, you're going to be tired tomorrow." 

"O-okay." Cristina stood up and put Teddy down, getting a whine.

"I know baby, just for a couple minutes, and then I can carry you." 

Cristina took Teddy's hand and led her out of the room. Cristina didn't realize that Bailey had stayed, when she left the room they were met with a confused Bailey.

"I'll explain later, good night Bailey." Cristina said walking away, holding Teddy's hand.

"Good-good night Cristina." Bailey stuttered.
