If there is one thing I have learned over the years, it's that it only take one person, one patient, one moment, to change your life forever...to change your perspective, color your thinking, to force you to reevaluate everything you think you know...to make you ask yourself the toughest questions...do you know who you are ? Do you understand what has happened to you ? Do you want to live this way ?
📍Seattle, Meredith's house
Cristina's POV
Meredith - Cristina ! Wake up ! We have to go to the hospital in 20 minutes.
Me - Mmm...yes...wait a minute.
Meredith - No ! Get up, I'm reminding you that you have to operate Teddy today !
Me - Yes I'm coming.
30 minutes later we were leaving Meredith's house.
Meredith - So, ready to come back in Grey-Sloan Memorial ?
Me - I guess.
Meredith - Don't worry, everything will be fine.
Me - *sigh* I hope so.
I was stressed out really bad about the surgery that I was going to do on Teddy, and about the fact that I will see Owen. But on the other hand, I was happy to see again Alex, Dr Webber, Dr Bailey and the others.
We had just arrived at Grey-Sloan.
Here we go ! I said to myself.

📍Seattle, Grey-Sloan Memorial hospital
Owen's POV
I was talking with April when I saw Cristina and Meredith entering the hospital. Actually I could only see her back, but I would never forget her beautiful, black and curly hair.
April - Owen ?
Me - Yes, sorry, what did you say ?
April - I was telling you that our patient, Mrs Blake, is still not awake. We should talk to her family.
Me - Oh, yes, I got this.
I was just having another look at her, but she was gone.

Teddy's POV
I was in my room eating one of those disgusting thing that the patients eat in hospitals, when Cristina entered the room.
Cristina - Morning Dr Altman, how do you feel ?
Me - Cristina ! Don't be silly, come here ! I'm so happy to see you.
She came over to my bed, and I hugged her.
Cristina - Hum...what was that, exactly ?
Me - I'm just proud of you. How does it feel to win an Harper Avery award ?
Cristina - It is AMAZING.
Me - I guess.
Cristina - I will perform the surgery this afternoon, if you're ok.
Me - Yeah, no problem.
Cristina - Okay, I'll let you get some rest and I'll come back before the surgery. Hum...do you have any questions ?
Me - No it's okay, I trust you.
She was about to leave when Owen came in.
Owen - Hum...hey.
Cristina - Oh hey.
Owen - I can come back later if you're...
Cristina - No, no it's good, I was just leaving.
Owen - ...Okay, see you later.
Cristina - Yes, bye.
She left, and I looked at Owen.
Me - It was awkward.
Owen - Yeah.

Owen's POV
After visiting Teddy, I decided to go see Amelia because I wanted to talk to her. She was probably in an on-call room. After searching her for a few minutes I finally found her.
Me - Hey.
Amelia - Hey, how are you ?
Me - Fine, I just wanted to talk to you about something.
Amelia - Yes, what ?
Me - I think we should postpone the wedding to next month. Because you know, Teddy is gonna have a big surgery, and I really want her to be there. So, I thought we could postpone it so she can recover completely and be there on the big day.
Amelia - Yes, of course, I understand you want your best friend to be there it's normal.
Me - You do ?
Amelia - Yes, I want this day to be perfect.
Me - Thank you so much, I love you.
Amelia - I love you too.
After that, she gave me a passionate kiss.
———————————————————
Cristina's POV
I was time to do Teddy's surgery, so I went to see her.
Teddy - It's time.
Me - Yeah, are you ready ?
Teddy - Yes, you're going to do great.
Me - Okay, so let's go.
A few hours later
I was almost done the surgery when the monitor started to sound an alarm.
Me - Crap ! There is a bleeding ! Clamp !
But I couldn't find the bleeding. Come on Cristina you have to find it.
Me - Damn it ! I can't find the bleeding...wait...I got it !
I could breathe again. She'd be fine.
After that everything went well. I closed her before we take her to post-op. I was leaving the OR when I saw Owen coming to me.
Me - Everything went well, she's gonna be okay.
Owen - Oh my god thank you so much.
He approached me and took me in his arms. It reminded me how much I felt good in his arms. Like it protected me from everything. We stood for what seemed like forever but it was in reality nearer a few minutes.
Under the moonlight
Weathering with your warm embrace
I feel so safe here
Baby we're worth the wait
Yeah, I picked the wrong kind
Time after time
I drank from the poisoned wine
Yeah, I picked the wrong kind
But baby you're alright
Yeah, baby I seen the light.
