Because I changed [a crowen fanfic]

Part 53

~ CRISTINA ~

Bailey left and I went to the patients room floor, I got into Burke's room, his parents, his daughters and a woman, I assumed it was Edra, were there

Me: Oh I can come back later if you want

Mrs. Burke: No it's fine Dr. Yang come in

Edra: You're Dr. Yang?

Me: Yes Dr. Cristina Yang, and you are?

Edra: Edra Brown, I'm Preston's ex-wife

Me: Nice to meet you

Edra: Are those your kids?

Me: Yes

Mrs. Burke: Um Edra, girls let's go to the cafeteria get something to eat

Mr. Burke: Yeah let's go

Edra: Oh um okay come on Morgan, Emma let's go

They left the room and I sat down on the chair next to his bed

Me: You haven't changed, you leave the women you love on important days, you're the same. I just wanted to say goodbye and thank you for everything, for teaching me and for saving my daughter's life. I will always be thankful for that and I'm glad it's the last memory of you I have, because I wouldn't wanna think of something else when I think of you. Right now I'm thinking of the time when we planned Shiva for Denny and I told you to never die and now you're dying, and I wanted to tell you all that before you died because I don't know when they're gonna let you go, because I know they're gonna let you go because your mother is smart and she wouldn't want you to suffer like that, goodbye Preston. And thank you again

I got up and went outside of the room, Morgan was sitting on the floor next to the door, I went and sat down next to her

Me: Hey

Morgan: Hi

Me: You're gonna be okay?

Morgan: Yeah I think so

Me: I know how you feel and it's normal, but this feeling will pass, eventually, it will pass, and you're gonna go on with your life and you will always know that your dad is here, somewhere in your heart

Morgan: Thank you, I know my dad loved you and I'm glad he got to see you again before he died

Me: Yeah

Morgan: I promised myself that I would do something to honor him, and I will

Me: Good, when my dad died, I was with him in the car accident and I felt his heart stopping, I decided to do something to honor him and I became a cardio surgeon, so I could save people, because I didn't get to save my dad

Morgan: I'm so sorry

Me: It was a long time ago, it was...28 years ago, it took a long time to get over my dad's death but I did and you will, at one point you will

Morgan: Yeah

Me: I should go before they come back, Morgan if you need to talk you can come see me, I will be at the hospital and even if I'm not I will come

Morgan: Thank you Dr. Yang

Me: Cristina, call me Cristina

Morgan: Okay, and they-they plan on unplugging him tonight at 6, just thought you'd wanna know

Me: Yes thank you

Morgan: Bye

Me: Bye

I got up and Mr. and Mrs. Burke arrived
