Hello Everyone.
This is my first Grey's fic and I'm really loving all the Omelia, so I had to write this. It's set right after the sneak peek for 11x19 and goes AU from there. Just something I'd like to happen. I don't know how long it'll be, but there's at least one other chapter coming, maybe more.
Enjoy.
„This is a mistake"
He doesn't know how long he's been sitting on that gurney in the hallway Amelia just left him in, but he doesn't care. Just this morning everything was fine, great even. They were going forward and now it feels like they just took ten steps back. What could've possibly happened since then to make her feel this way all of a sudden, because he may not have known her for that long, but he knows her well enough to see that something else is bothering her. She may have a point about personal and professional relationships, but there's something else. He just can't figure out what. Owen Hunt is so caught up in his thoughts that he doesn't realize someone leaning against the wall across from him.
"Hunt." His head shuts up at the voice. How long has he been here?
"Shepherd. What's going on?"
"Nothing. I should be the one to ask you that. You've been sitting here for god knows how long. So now I'M asking, what's wrong?"
"What makes you thing something's wrong?" Owen knows he's just stalling, because he would take one look at himself and know right away that he wasn't his usual self. At the same time he doesn't know what Derek knows, if anything, about him and his little sister so he's also trying to figure out what to say.
"Did something happen with Amelia?", Derek would laugh at the look of pure shock his chief, and friend, is giving him right now if he hadn't just seen his sister walking into an empty trauma room practically in tears, "because I just saw her and I hate seeing my little sister like that. I would've followed her if she hadn't nearly bitten my head off when I asked her what was wrong."
"How do you know?" Owen sighs. He knows there's no point in lying.
"About you and Amelia?!" He nods. "She told me last night. Now, she would kill me if she knew I told you this, but I think you need to hear it. Amelia didn't tell me exactly what's been going on between you two, but we were talking last night and then she tells me she thinks she's falling in love with you. She's terrified, Hunt." Owen can hardly believe what he's hearing. He thought Derek would be against their relationship, if you could really call it that, but he doesn't seem to be. At least not yet.
"I feel the same way. I'm also happy. I haven't felt this way towards anyone in...ever I think."
Derek's eyebrows rise at that. "Not even...?" Owen shakes his head.
"Part of me will always love Cristina, but I'm not In love with her. Haven't been in a long time. We wanted different things, we were so different, it just couldn't work and at some point I think we didn't even want it to anymore. It's not like that with Amelia. We've both been through so much in life and we have so much baggage, but I think that's why it would work. We get each other. We understand that even though life is hard, there are also many great moments. I just...I need to talk to Amelia. I need to say this to her, I just don't know if she'll listen."
Derek realizes something then. Hunt really is falling in love with his sister, too and as much as he hates to admit this, because this is still his little sister and the chief of surgery they're talking about, he actually thinks they could work together.
"Make her listen. Lock her in a room if you have to, but make her listen." Owen laughs at that.
"Thanks Shepherd. You know, you're the last person I expected to be okay with this."
"Me too, but I'm not the one you need to worry about." Then he walks away and Owen is alone again.
'I'm not the one you need to worry about.' That's what Shepherd said. Who DOES he need to worry about tha...Meredith. Of course! Amelia worked on the last case with her. He saw them talking. Meredith probably found out about them and said something about Cristina. It wouldn't really surprise him. Whatever she said probably makes Amelia doubt what they have, or at least had. Oh this isn't good. He needs to fix it. Right now.
Someone doesn't seem to agree with him though, because right as he's walking away to go find her, his pager goes off. As much as he needs to talk to Amelia, it'll have to wait.
TBC. Hope you like it so far.
