“Will you still love me if…?”
The Shepherd-Grey Family

Meredith: Owen, she didn’t have the abortion. She wants to and she can’t do it, because of you, because she loves you. And instead of loving her, you’re punishing her. For what? For being the woman that you fell in love with? Okay, do you know what will happen to Cristina if she has a kid that she doesn’t want? It will almost kill her. Trying to pretend that she loves a kid as much as she loves surgery will almost kill her, and it’ll almost kill your kid. Do you know what it’s like to be raised by someone who didn’t want you? I do. To know you stood in the way of your mother’s career? I do. I was raised by a Cristina, my mother was a Cristina. And as the child she didn’t want, I am telling you - don’t do this to her. Because she’s kind, and she cares, and she won’t make it. The guilt of resenting her own kid will eat her alive.

Derek: I wish that I could make things better with you and Cristina.
Meredith: I wish that you could too.
Derek: I’m tryin’ to think about what she would do in a situation like this, but… I don’t know.
Meredith: Well, she would turn the music up pretty loud and she would dance it out with me, but I don’t think that you wanna go there.
Derek: Well… Come on. Get up. Get your ass over here. I’m not doin’ this by myself.
