She worked hard to become a surgeon, so it was cruel for her dream to be ruined by such an incident. Cristina never has luck in relationships. Cristina and Owen have a baby. Owen wants the baby, but Cristina doesn’t. He asks her not to have an abortion, but Cristina says she doesn’t want kids. Owen accepts Cristina’s decision and supports her.

Didnt We Almost Have It All is a song recorded by American singer Whitney Houston for her second studio album, Whitney. The song was written by Michael Masser and Will Jennings and produced by Masser. Initially, Houstons cover version of the Isley Brothers For the Love of You was intended to be released as the second single from the album. However, the record label decided to release Didnt We Almost Have It All instead as all of Houstons singles had to be original material at this point of her career. The song was released in August 13, 1987 by Arista Records.

Didnt We Almost Have It All received positive reviews from the music critics, who praised its lyrics, production, and Houstons vocal performance. It became Houstons fifth consecutive chart topper on the US Billboard Hot 100, staying there for two weeks and also reached the top 10 in various countries. A live performance from her September 2, 1987 concert in Saratoga Springs, New York was used as the official video and played on MTV, VH1, and BET. The recorded performance was also televised along with her performance of I Wanna Dance with Somebody at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards on September 11. At the 30th Annual Grammy Awards, it received a nomination for the Song of the Year.

Compositionedit. Jennings recalls that the songwriting process for Didnt We Almost Have It All required several years. It seems like Michael Masser and I worked off and on for years on that song. I dont know how many times I rewrote bits and pieces of the tune… I remember distinctly that we ran (up) over two hundred dollars worth of phone calls from a hotel in Nashville… of course, it was well worth it in the end.2.

Why did Preston Burke leave Cristina Yang?

He began a relationship with intern Cristina Yang but broke it off because he feared it would ruin both of their reputations. However, her miscarriage brought them back together. They lived together in his perfectly-kept apartment. However, after being shot he started to have tremors and they were forced to keep them secret putting a strain on their relationship. After a long time of keeping his tremors a secret, Cristina went to the Chief and confessed everything. Initially, he was engaged in a cold war with Cristina, where neither of them spoke but after she broke the silence, he proposed to her and she accepted.

However, on the day of their wedding, Burke told Cristina that he no longer wished to make her do anything against her will, and Burke realized he was trying to make Cristina the woman he wanted her to be rather than accepting her as the woman she is. Cristina said she thought this was what she wanted. He wanted her to say she knew it was what she wanted, so he left her in the chapel. Cristina then returned to their apartment and discovered Burke had left, taking with him the things that meant something to only him (his trumpet, his Eugene Foote collection, his grandmothers picture, and his lucky scrub cap), leaving Cristina devastated. He told Derek to inform her he quit and sent his mother to collect his things.

Years later, despite having moved on and created a family, Burke evidently still had feelings for Cristina, knowing full-well if he were to work with Cristina again, he would inevitably fall for her again to the point of cheating on his wife with Cristina and ultimately destroy his marriage and his life.

Why did Burke give Christina his hospital?

Cristina is nominated for the Harper Avery award and is a strong candidate, however she is passed over due to her relationship with the Harper-Avery Foundation, that co-owns Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital. Cristina goes to speak at a hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, orchestrated by Preston Burke who built his own hospital following his winning of the Harper Avery. He offers Cristina his job as the head of the hospital so that he can spend more time with his wife and kids.

Cristina accepts the offer and interviews candidates for her replacement position at the hospital, including Maggie Pierce for the new chief of cardio. Cristina transfers her hospital shares to Alex Karev and recommends he take over her seat on the board.

At the end of season 10, she says goodbye to her co-workers she has come to know and love including Owen, Derek and Meredith. Cristina and Meredith share special moments reminiscing about all the horrors they went through and dancing it out one last time. Cristina leaves for Zurich with surgical intern Shane Ross, who chooses to leave in order to study under her in Switzerland where she now owns a research hospital. There, Cristina thrives as the new owner.

Why didn’t Christina want to marry Burke?

Heres what happens: Burke gets wheeled into the ER for some heart problem—dying from a condition related to the organ he and his former love specialize in, how poetic! Cristina turns out to be his doctor, and she finds the old feelings she had for him return. Sure, hes on his deathbed, but this is true love. Burkes all she wanted all along, she just wasnt ready for marriage when he was. This is one of these oh-my-god-I-messed-up epiphany moments, and then Burke dies—he dramatically codes—and hes gone forever. Cristina cant handle it, even though her reunion with him lasted only a few short days, so she decides that she has to escape Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, and this time, for good. Im free! she cries as she leaves. (Too much?)

See above, but instead of re-falling in love with Burke, Cristina releases all this anger shes been holding in. No matter how much time has passed, he did leave her and then went ahead and put in his resignation without even telling her, so the girl has a right to still be a bit mad. He dies. Shes done with holding onto memories formed in the hospital. She leaves. The end.

Cristina sees Burke and realizes shes meant to be with Owen.

Did Burke get Christina pregnant?

The main abortion plotline is in the first season. Cristina learns she’s pregnant with Preston Burke’s baby. She decides not to tell him and makes an appointment for an abortion. She tells Meredith she’s too young and talented to have a child. But just as Cristina is about to have an abortion, she loses consciousness while operating on a patient. She was miscarrying outside the uterus. Even though she had taken all the steps to go through with the procedure, her pregnancy was terminated by fate, not by her decision.

14Cristina’s pregnancy and loss of the baby take up three episodes of the first season. Cristina’s resolve was the only thing that stood out in this abortion plotline on American TV. Unlike most characters dealing with an unwanted pregnancy, she never faltered. She never doubts herself. She knows what she wants, but she doesn’t think twice about the abortion.

Why does Cristina Yang stop talking?

Cristina was the only one who was awake when the rescue helicopter finally came to rescue the plane crash victims. She stepped into the light and waved to get the pilots attention. She was taken to the Boise Hospital with the others, where Cristina kept on fighting the doctors. They sedated her and tied her to her bed. When Owen arrived, the Chief of Boise told him she thought that Cristina was in a state of reactive psychosis.

Cristina was sedated again before being flown back to Seattle. She remained in her state of reactive psychosis, refusing to speak. While she just laid in bed, her sight was blurry and every sound was muted in her ears. The doctors at Seattle tried to help her, but she didnt react to anything they tried. She reacted for the first time when a couple of interns were talking about her outside her room. She grabbed a vase and threw it at the window, after which the interns ran off. When another doctor interfered with Cristinas case and yelled at Owen and Bailey that she belongs in psych, Meredith once again urged Cristina to talk, but it didnt have any effect.

However, at some point, Owen decided to take her home with him. In the tub, Owen assured her they could figure it out, but Cristina replied that she could never get out. She finally started talking about what happened during the four days they were in the woods. She stayed awake every minute of those days and tried to take care of the other doctors, clearing the bugs out of Arizonas leg and keeping Mark alive. While everyone was asleep, she took care of everyone under the very dark sky. Out of necessity, she had to drink her pee and even the fuel from the plane. She also tried to keep the wild animals off Lexies body, but wasnt successful doing so.8.
