I Own Nothing but Connor. Thanks For Reading :D

Preston heard heavy footsteps coming towards him and looked up from the paper he was reading and folded it in half and placed it down on the table in front of him. Preston stood up and gave Owen a nod inviting him to sit down at the table and Owen sat down. Preston rubbed his hands together, nervous about the talk that he was about to have with his ex fiancée's husband. Preston, sat opposite to Owen and eyed the man, taking in his appearance because the last time he saw Owen, he never got to analyse the man properly.

Owen didn't look like a man that Cristina would of settled with, the man sitting opposite him was everything he wasn't. Preston knew that he had a soft and gently persona, while the man opposite him had a more rugged and rough persona. He knew that the similarities between the two men were minimal with both being good at their job and loving the same woman. Their differences however, were massive and Preston could clearly see the gap forming.

Owen waited silently waiting for the man opposite him to say something. Connor was sitting beside him just staring at Preston whilst fiddling with his fingers beneath the table and swinging his leg's. Owen looked at Preston and watched as he looked deep in his thought, he looked down at his watch knowing that he's only have an hour before the nurses down at the trauma bay's would page him for help which could easily be helped with an intern.

Owen cleared his throat and Preston was snapped out of his thoughts. "Sorry" Preston apologised taking his posture again. "Thanks for talking to me" Preston said, thanking Owen in advance.

"No problem. I'm Owen and this is my son Connor"

"I'm Preston"

Owen nodded and waited for Preston to proceed but he didn't, "So what did you need to talk to me about?"

Preston flashed a smile at Connor before looking back at Owen and started, "I just thought I'd do a bit catching up. I haven't been in Seattle for nearly 7 years now. I would of asked Cristina but I guess we all know how she's like" Preston said chuckling to himself.

Owen quirked a brow, wondering why Preston would ask him out of all the people here in Seattle Grace for an update in the last 7 Years. "I don't mean to be rude, but why did you come to me?"

"Oh, right. Well honestly, the real reason was because I wanted to meet you. I wanted to talk to the man that made Cristina settle and have a kid." Preston said looking over at Connor.

Owen didn't have no idea who Preston was and knew that he would not be telling him nothing about Cristina until he knew who he was. "And how were you and Cristina friends?"

"Friends…" Preston sighed with a smile, "We were more than friends, She was actually my fiancée"

Owen raised his eyebrows shocked that Cristina was married before. She had never told him about this and he was slightly angry. When he had asked her to marry him, she hesitated and it was now that he realised something must of happened between the two for Cristina to think the way she did.

It was just a casual dinner over at Meredith and Derek's house when Owen had gone down on one knee and proposed to Cristina. Cristina and everyone around them were all in shock, they never thought that Owen would propose even though Cristina and him were in a serious relationship.

Cristina was still in shock as Owen looked up at her with eyes wide with passion and love. "I know your not much of a woman that likes the whole marriage thing, but I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You give me a rush that no woman has ever given me. The list could go on and on but I know you don't like this whole love speech, so will you marry me Cristina Yang?"

Cristina looked at him, still in slight shock. Meredith and Derek were watching the scene waiting for Cristina to say yes but she didn't for a long time. "Cristina?" Owen asked, she blinked a couple of times and hesitated to say something. She opened her mouth but nothing escaped leaving her speechless. Owen started to panic slightly, worried that she would say no to his proposal. He was about to stand up disappointed but was stopped but her hand pushing gently on his shoulder. He looked up at her and watched her form a smile on her lips.

"Yes" she whispered, "Yes, I'll marry you Owen" Cristina repeated making sure that he knew that she had said yes.

Owen stood up and wrapped his arms around her kissing her passionately whilst Derek and Meredith wooed and cheered in the background. She had her arms around his neck and he held tightly onto her whilst she gently leaned back. Her smile soon faded once reality set in.

"Promise me something" She said in a serious tone. He nodded and she went on, "Just don't… don't try and change me"

Owen nodded and smile, "I would never change you into something your not"

Just then, George walked by holding a tray of food in his hands. He stopped at their table, shocked that the rumours were true about Preston being back in Seattle Grace. "Dr Burke!" George exclaimed with a huge shocking smile on his face.

Preston stood up, smiling at the young man before him, "Dr O'Malley" he addressed back. "Long time no see. How have you been?"

"Certainly, where have you been?" George asked, going straight into his thoughts. George like all the other people at Seattle Grace had been curious about Preston's whereabouts in the last years.

"I went to Oklahoma, closer to the family" Preston explained. George just nodded with a smile; not fully convinced. George noticed Connor and Owen sitting at Preston's table and knew that they were probably busy and going into dept with a conversation with Preston at this time was a bad idea.

"I see your busy Dr Burke" George said looking over at Owen who was waiting patiently. "I think I'll leave you two"

Before George could walk off, Owen held his arm holding him back, "Do me a favour and look after Connor for me"

George nodded and Owen helped Connor out of his chair and into George's hands. Owen knew that having Connor with George would be better because Connor would not be on his mind. George and Connor walked off and both Owen and Preston could hear Connor rant on about something. Owen turned his attention back to Preston who seemed to relaxed after seeing some of his past friends, George O'Malley.

"So back to where we were" Owen started, "Tell me about Cristina. How was she like… before I met her"

Preston smiled and nodded, getting flashbacks of his times with Cristina before he was stupid enough for leaving her at the alter. Preston gave Owen a whole list of things that described Cristina. Many of which Owen agreed to because she was still the same woman she was many years ago. What Owen couldn't understand was why Preston would leave Cristina because from the tone of his voice, Owen could tell that Preston adored Cristina. His facial expression and tone said everything about his emotion.

"Why?" Owen asked suddenly feeling the need for his question to be answered. "Why did you leave her? What happened?"

"I wanted something she didn't. I loved her enough to walk away"

"If you loved her enough... Why didn't you stay and fight. What kind of a man would walk away?" Owens voice came out harder than expected and his frustration was getting to him. Knowing that Preston had hurt Cristina worried him. Preston knew that telling Owen where he had left Cristina would only trigger the man's anger. Preston stayed quiet and he fully understood Owens frustration. Owen stood up from his seat and placed both hands on the table and leaned forward going closer to Preston's face.

"Well I'm glad you left her because she deserves a man that loves her enough to stay" Owen said in a low whisper.

Preston put his head down in disappointment and knew that Owen was right. "Your right" Preston whispered before Owen was about to leave. "I am stupid for leaving and maybe you are a good enough man for her"

Owen was in a slight shock; Preston had agreed with him, something that he didn't expect to happen. "I'm not here to cause trouble… I just wanted to know how you got Cristina to do it… you know, get married and settle down with a kid. I tried changing her but nothing worked"

"Ahh, right there. That's where you went wrong. You should know that you can never change Cristina and that you should never try to"

Preston nodded and formed a smile; Owen was right. Cristina and change never did go well together. "I'm glad Cristina has you" Preston said honestly, "You know her well. You know her better than I do"

Owen looked at Preston reading his face to see if it was a joke or not. The serious face on Preston's face told Owen all. The two men went on talking and started to know things about each other. The contrast between the two men were huge but they seemed to get along. As the talk came to an end, Owen didn't know how he had invited Preston over to diner.

Both men stood up and gave each other a hand shake, satisfied with the information that they had gathered from one another.

"Great talking to you, see you Saturday night"
