Cristina doesn't deep down trust him to stay with her. This is about her fear of abandonment. Was rather telling that when he asked her if she loved him she answered straight away. When he asked her if she trusts him she hesitated and looked away from him before answering.
The Cristina's of this world are wounded animal, who go into protection mode at the first sign of danger. If she can open up to Owen about her deep routed problems and fears without fearing he will leave her, he might be able to convince her to keep the baby.
I know he was just upset, but throwing her out is not going to help things apart from Cristina feeling abandoned again. Which is why when she came home she told him to remember he loved her before she broke the news to him.
This whole thing isn't really about a baby it's about her being scared to hope for an emotional future with a another person with all the trimings, Owen plans their future in his head, he's the romantic dreamer. Cristina is clinical, about the right now.
