Amelia Shepherd, the lone wolf, didn`t feel like wanting to be alone anymore. She had always run away from relationships, slept with guys she had just met, dumbed her fiancé. Her love life has always been a chaos and she loved it, she loved being alone and free.
But lately something has changed.
After dumping her fiancé and moving to Seattle to live with her brother`s family, she kind of liked the family life, but was also too afraid to admit it even to herself. She liked the idea of waking up and seeing your loved one beside you, making breakfast for kids, taking them to school or kindergarten, running to work, having relaxed evenings with the family and watching TV. She liked all of that and for the first time in her life she thought she was ready to have a family.
She was ready, but the important part was missing. She didn`t have a boyfriend or a man in her life close to being her boyfriend.
Although…
There was this redhead hotty trauma surgeon in the hospital that she fancied. Every time they worked together she couldn`t take her eyes off of him. His blue eyes were captivating and she was always getting lost in them. This was the first time she was so much into someone. The situation was freaking her out, but she was also intrigued. Several times for the past months she has caught herself thinking about the surgeon.
Amelia was deep in her thoughts when someone pocked her.
"What? Who?" Amelia flinched.
"Whoa, deep in thought eh?" Meredith asked and added without waiting for an answer. "Can you look after the kids, I was called into the hospital."
"Yeah, sure." Amelia answered.
"They are in the kitchen having a dinner." Meredith said and went out of Amelia`s room. "I don`t know when I`ll be back, but I`ll try to come back as soon as possible."
"No worries, we will be fine." Amelia followed Meredith into the kitchen.
"Kids, mommy has to leave, aunty Amy will stay with you, be good to her ok?" Meredith kissed the kids and headed toward the door. Taking her coat she turned to Amelia: "Thanks Amelia, if you need anything call me."
"We`ll be fine, just go already." Amelia said and closed the door behind Meredith.
After kids finished the dinner Amelia offered to watch TV. They turned it on, took some cookies from the kitchen, snuggled under the warm blankets and watched Brave. Watching TV with kids was always fun, kids seemed to have an opinion about every action in the cartoon, they were commenting on everything.
"Aunty Amy, I want to have red hear!" Zola beamed.
"That old mad talks funny." Bailey giggled.
"The girl is so cool. I want to be like her." Zola said and stood on the sofa doing the exact same posture as the girl in the cartoon.
"You kids are fun." Amelia adored.
They continued to watch TV, laugh and have fun.
It was fun until it lasted, half way through the cartoon kids fell asleep, only Amelia stayed up until the end.
When the cartoon was over one by one she carried the kids to their bedrooms and put them into the bed.
While Amelia was cleaning the mess they have made during watching TV the doorbell rang. Amelia was confused because that could not have been Meredith or Derek, they had keys, besides it was already very late and she was not waiting for anyone.
Amelia opened the door and couldn`t help but laugh. There were standing drunk Derek, who could hardly stand on his own feet and had to lean on the doorframe and less drunk hotty Hunt, who was trying to hold Derek, while making effort not to fall down himself.
"Amy!" Derek exclaimed. "You are here!"
"Derek! You are drunk!" Amelia mocked.
"Hey." Hunt said.
The siblings surprised turned their heads towards Hunt as if they have forgotten he was there.
"Come on in." Amelia said and stepped aside to give them way and offered a helping hand to Derek.
Derek leaned into Amelia:
"I want to kiss your cheek my precious little sister."
"Oh, for god`s sake Derek, calm down." Amelia maneuvered away.
Hunt couldn't help, but smile at their interactions.
"We need to put you into the bed." Amelia said and guided them to the bedroom.
"Owen, thank you my man." Derek hugged Hunt, then blew a kiss to Amelia and fall down into the bed.
"Shouldn`t we take off his clothes?" Hunt asked.
"Naah, he`ll be fine, let`s go." Amelia said and went out of the room, turning the lights off.
Hunt followed Amelia into the front room.
"Thank you, Dr. Hunt for bringing the drunk Shepherd home." Amelia said.
"No problem." Hunt smiled. "And you can call me Owen."
"All right Owen, would you like water or something else?" Amelia offered.
"Actually yes, a glass of water would be fine." Owen answered.
Amelia offered him a sit on the sofa and went to kitchen to bring the water while having a little freak out. Owen Hunt himself was at her house and they could potentially have a normal conversation, not just about the patients and their illnesses. The thought made Amelia smile to herself and she headed back to the front room.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Amelia couldn`t help but say out loud.
She was back, and guess what, Owen Hunt has fallen asleep on the sofa. There went all hopes of getting to know him better. Amelia stood there for a moment not believing her eyes. Then after some time she covered him with a blanket and went to her room.
The next morning Derek woke up with a terrible headache.
"Who thought it was a good idea to get drunk last night?" he asked himself and went to the kitchen to get some water.
Owen was still fast asleep on the sofa. Derek went to wake him up and burst out laughing. Derek found his phone out and took a picture of Owen sleeping on the sofa with a sticker on his head, which read: "Mer CAUTION, two drunk man are in the area."
Right at that time Meredith opened the door.
"Good morning." She smiled. "What is Hunt doing in here?"
"We…" Derek started, but Amelia interrupted him.
"They got drunk yesterday and Owen fell asleep on the sofa, by the way good morning." Amelia said coming down the stairs.
Derek pushed Owen`s leg to wake him up. Owen could hardly open his eyes.
"Come on men, wake up, don`t leave me alone with these two." Derek whispered.
"What is going on?" Owen asked confused.
"These two are going to eat me alive, they are angry we came home drunk yesterday." Derek clarified.
Owen made an effort to get up, took the sticker off of his forehead, laughed and they headed to kitchen where the kids were already having a breakfast, while Amelia was getting ready to go to the hospital and Meredith was making some sandwiches for the kids to take with them to the school.
"Can we help?" Derek asked sheepishly.
"No, you better get ready and go to work." Amelia hissed.
"Married life is fun." Owen said confused.
"Yeah, it is." Derek replied.
Both were still standing in their places not moving.
"Make a way please." Amelia pushed them aside and went out.
"Your sister is something else." Owen said while looking after Amelia.
"Hey, eyes on me." Derek warned.
