Set in season 14 ep 7 based on the promo where Amelia walks in on Owen and Carina. Oneshot for now to get my thoughts out after seeing episode 6, but may write more if there is interest.

I Still Get Jealous

As she slowly walked back to her car it suddenly hit her, she was jealous. Not only had she just walked into their house and found Owen kissing another girl, but it was pretty evident that she'd just spent the night there. She couldn't even hate the woman, I mean she did kind of save her life by finding her tumor.

Her movements became quicker as she approached her car door, fumbling with her keys to find the right one. She'd come there that morning to pick up some of her things and see how Owen was doing, a little part of her had probably drawn out taking everything in one go so she could see him more. She'd told herself that she was ok with moving on, but now that it was real she hated herself for the fact they were apart. That should have been her in the kitchen with him fooling around.

Holding back the tears that had started forming in her eyes Amelia turned on the car and drove back to Meredith's as fast as she possibly could sneaking around the back of the house and up the stairs to her room before anyone could notice she was home. She needed to be alone right now. No one could help her with this one.

Since Alex had moved back in with Jo, the room only had her things in it now. A lot of what was here at the moment was still there from before she moved in with Owen the first time. She picked up a photo she's found in a box that morning and sat herself down on the end of her bed as she looked at it. It was of her and Owen before all of this happened, before the tumor, before she ran out on him, before they even got engaged. Owen had taken a selfie of them on one of their first dates, he'd taken her on a picnic by the lake and they'd spent the afternoon in each others arms, eating and laughing, she was sitting in his lap, snuggled into his large form and kissing him on the cheek. This was one of her favourite times of her relationship with Owen, they had just agreed to give thins a proper go "lets screw some things up" he'd said, and he'd just told her that he loved her for the first time. She hadn't believed that she'd be in the place to admit to someone she was in love with them too, but in that moment when he told her, she was so happy, so full of love, and so sure of where they were going she'd said it back. And she meant it too. She really loved him… still did. She'd do anything to be back there right now, so happy, so sure of what they had.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a nock on her door. "Who is it?" She called out, quickly wiping away the tears that had run down her cheeks.

"Just me" she hear Meridith's voice call out as the door creeped open slightly. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeap" that's right she'd nearly forgotten, they had a shift today, that's why she'd gone over to the house so early. "I'll be out in just a sec".

"Ok but hurry up, I don't want to be late".

It was towards the end of her shift and Amelia had spent most of her day avoiding anything that sounded trauma related. Being in a level 1 trauma centre it wasn't easy, quite often her patients that came through the ER had more that just a head injury. Thankfully she'd just hired new surgeons in her department so she had spent the day delegating.

"Someones here to see you Dr Shephard" one of the nurses explained as she approached the main desk.

"Really? Who?" She asked, slightly confused.

"Dr Koracik" she explained pointing over behind her.

"But he was supposed-" she started, quite surprised.

"To be gone" tom's cocky voice interrupted her before she could finish. She turned around to find him standing agains a pole, hands in his pockets trying to downplay the fact he had stayed around to see her. "Yeah you were supposed to be on a plane yesterday".

"Well" he sighed, "turns out I have a lot of leave owing, and I was half way to the airport when I realised, what the hell, I mean we didn't have a terrible time"

"You know most guys bring flowers when they're trying to seduce a woman"

"Well, I'm not most guys"

She hated the smug look on his face, "so you decided to stick around and wait a whole day so you didn't look desperate for more"

"Well, no… I mean I had other things to do. Like it wasn't that amazing".

Rolling her eyes Amelia started to make her way towards the hospital doors, "Right".

"So where are we going then?"

"We" she emphasised, pointing her finger at him and then back at herself, "are not going anywhere. I'm busy". Turning on her heels she started to walk away again slightly amused at the turn of events, but still stewing over what she had witnessed in Owen's kitchen less than 12 hours ago.

"Wait" he called out, reaching for her arm and smirking at her. "I mean, come on, I can make it worth your while"

"You don't take no for an answer do you".

"Come on I'll take you out to dinner, I've got a great hotel booked".

"No thanks"

"Amelia" he tried again, reaching out to tuck her hair behind her ear.

"I think she made herself clear" Owen's voice interrupted them. Amelia looked round to find the exact person she'd been avoiding all day, great she thought to herself, this couldn't get worse.

"Hey this has got nothing to do with you" Koracik stepped towards Owen, taking his hands off of Amelia.

"It does when your harassing her" Amelia could see Owen flaring up inside, his arms which were down by his sides forming fists, "she said no, so get out of here".

"Oh really are you going to make me?"

That was all the permission Owen needed, without giving it a second through, he lunged forward and his fist hit Koracik's jaw line clean.

"Owen", Amelia screamed "what the heck are you doing?"

Ignoring her, his sights were still aimed at Tom, "you stay the hell away from her" he didn't know what had just gotten into him. He'd been close by long enough to gather that Amelia and Koracik had slept together. He knew she was single and could see who she liked but hearing that it had happened ignited something in him that just wanted to take her home and keep her away from the guy. Taking the hint Koracik left nursing a fat lip.

"You tell me if he bothers you again ok?" He told her gently, his hands resting on her shoulders. In that moment she melted. There was something about how gentle he could be with her that made her feel like she was the luckiest person in the entire world.

"Ok" she whispered looking up into his concerned blue eyes. Part of her wondered if what she was seeing was Owen bing jealous, or if he was just protecting her as a friend.

The moment was over all to quickly. Owen looked down at his pager which had started going off and nodded before leaving back through the hospital hall ways.
