Puppies: A continuation from the last scene of 12 x 14 and all the fluff that was Omelia and all those puppies!
"I'm sorry Dr. Hunt but we have to get these little guys back to the shelter" Shelby, the woman in charge of the Pediatrics and Puppies Program at GSMH regretfully told Owen and Amelia. Seeing the joy that they brought to not only the kids but doctors like these two made the end of the day her least favourite time. It was incredible how a ball of fur on four legs could bring so much happiness to all kinds of people and it broke her heart to have to take them away. It had been a big day for all the little pups and it would be an adventure in itself just getting them all back to the shelter. She made her way to the door as Amelia begged for just one more minute.
"What if we took one home?" Owen wondered out loud gauging his girlfriend's reaction.
Not sure if she was hearing him right, Amelia set the puppy down that she'd had in her arms and turned to Owen "Take one home?"
"Why not?" he chuckled as he scruffed the fur of the two dogs jumping around his feet "Today won't be the last hard day in this place and a puppy seems like the perfect cure"
Amelia wasn't quite sure if he was serious. It might be the exhaustion of her day or how hard she was falling for the goofball of a man sitting in front of her but she couldn't quite read his face. It wasn't until he'd seemed to single out a scruffy little runt of a pup from the litter and looked at him like he was his whole world.
"What happened to taking things slow? Getting a puppy isn't exactly a first date kind of activity"
"Says who? I think this guy likes you…"
The scruffy little one that Owen had picked out had gravitated toward Amelia and curled up in her lap. It was too hard to resist those floppy little ears, that cold wet nose and those big brown eyes staring up at her. As she looked up at Owen there was a set of deep blue eyes mimicking that of the puppy which were even harder to resist. How could she say no to that incredible man in front of her?
"He'll have to sleep on the end of the bed because there is no room for a dog bed in the trailer" Amelia insisted as her heart just melted. They were doing this, they were getting a puppy… together. "But you're toilet training him"
"Yes dear" Owen smiled before leaning closer to his girlfriend and pressing a soft kiss to her lips.
Whether they were starting from fresh or not, there was no changing how madly in love he was with Amelia. Owen saw a future with her that he never could have imagined with Cristina and that future started with a puppy. He wanted a house with Amelia, lots of beautiful children with Amelia, he wanted to grow old with Amelia and spend the rest of his life making her smile as bright as she was in that very moment.
