***ENGLISH ISN'T MY LANGUAGE***

I want to dedicate this chapter to all those beautiful people who with their reviews made me know how much they enjoy my work even when I'm not a professional.

But especially I want to dedicate this complete fic to a special person whose beautiful message made me realize that my work is worth more than what the haters say, you know who you are...

So this is a three shot and I'll take it as a kind of countdown until the day of the season 15 premier, or at least I'll try, life is very busy now but since I've all this already finished it won't take me long to simply update, right?

Don't be, don't be afraid

our mistakes they were bound to be made,

but I promise you I'll keep you safe…

I'll keep you safe…

"You're my best friend, Owen."

"You know what they say, you should marry your best friend."

"Oh, so now we're getting married?"

"If you want". Owen said, part joking part seriously.

Teddy didn't answer anything just let out a small giggle, Owen didn't expect her to do it this was just their first night together they both wanted to take things slowly, figure all the steps, Owen's last two marriages had been rushed to say the least; his first marriage had occurred just as he was getting out of the worst PTSD crises he had had in a long time and just when Cristina was in the middle of one, and the second... Cristina had barely left the country when he was already accepting Amelia's marriage proposal, without mentioning that it was probably the product of her tumor or her PTSD, so this time he would wait, for Teddy would wait a thousand years if they were necessary.

...

It was late at night and outside it was raining as if the world was going to end at any moment, the snow had been gone for days but not the cold, the cold of Germany was impressive, Owen couldn't remember having been in such a cold environment before, but for Teddy he would support temperatures below zero, he would go to live in the North Pole if she wanted it all in order to be by her side.

What had originally been planned as a trip of only a few days had become an indefinite stay, Owen had come to knock on Teddy's door in the middle of the night and from then everything had been uphill, with each day that passed their relationship improved more and more, yes, at first it was weird, despite having years of knowing each other this new level of intimacy was something new for them but both were happy and eager to learn more about each other, explore their bodies, memorize their kisses, enjoy the calm and peace that offered them to sleep each night wrapped in the arms of the other, well, almost every night.

That first night and the next day had been so amazing that no one stopped to think that Teddy had a job to attend, but even so they both managed to establish in a small routine, Teddy got up extremely early to go to work and Owen did it with her, while she was taking a quick shower he was preparing her coffee tumbler and something for her to have breakfast on the way, Owen hated the idea of her going to work without having eaten something. There were times when he would take her to work and Teddy would take a quick nap on the way, when her shift was over Owen was there waiting for her to then going to have dinner, to the movies or just going back home, wrap in the pink blanket curled up in front of the window while Teddy was telling Owen about her day or just the two of them were silent, enjoying each other's company until Teddy fell sound asleep and Owen carried her to the bed, tucking her in, taking his place next to her until he fell soundly asleep too.

And so the days and weeks went by until Owen had been in Germany for more than a month, living with Teddy, loving her, worshiping her, making her feel like the most special woman in the world, more than a month of infinite happiness, sad at moments, when Owen thought about the lost time, but it was enough to see Teddy's smile to realize that everything has a perfect time.

It was past 10:00 pm and Teddy still was not home, if Owen wasn't wrong her shift had ended at 8:00 pm, but she was still at the hospital, or at least that was what he expected, outside the weather was insane, the loud thunders managed to shake the windows and the rain prevented seeing more than 5 ft. away, the mere thought that Teddy could be lying in a ditch due to the rain caused Owen chills "Don't exaggerate Hunt" he thought "Half an hour ago she sent you a message". Shaking the negative thoughts of his head Owen returned his attention to what he was doing, in front of him his mail showed him the e-mail of Mirada asking him when or if he planned to return to Seattle, if so when he would do it and if not to send his resignation letter. The truth was that Owen hadn't thought of Seattle or anyone there since Teddy opened the door of the house and received him with that huge smile that reached her eyes, of course he had thought about getting a job, his savings wouldn't last years and certainly couldn't be forever without employ, but all this had been so suddenly, not that he regretted it, at all, but he didn't lie when he told Teddy that he hadn't anything planned; without giving his thoughts time to go further the sound of the door stopped him, it was Teddy and Owen's heart sank when he saw her, the poor looked exhausted.

Without thinking twice Owen hurried to hug her "Honey, thank god you're here". Teddy just returned a loose hug and when Owen wanted to kiss her on the lips she turned her head slightly making his lips land on her cheek. Owen said nothing, he knew better than anyone how Teddy's mood was when she was tired, hellish.

Without saying a word Teddy let go of Owen's arms and went to lie on the sofa, sighing deeply and covering her eyes with her arm. He sat next to her and put her feet in his lap removing her shoes and giving her a gentle foot massage. "Why don't you take a quick shower while I warm up dinner, I went to buy your favorite roasted chicken". Owen said while rubbing her feet.

"I'm too tired to take a shower."

"Ok then rest a little while I warm up the dinner, you're probably hungry." Teddy just shrugged. Carefully Owen got up from the sofa and before retiring to the kitchen he kissed Teddy on the forehead "I love you". Again she said nothing.

Once Owen had everything ready for dinner they both took their respective seats on the stools by the kitchen island. Usually Teddy wouldn't stop talking about her day or plans for the weekend, but today she was extremely withdrawn, never looked up from the plate and while Owen went for his second piece of chicken she still had her plate practically intact. He knew something was wrong, while watching closely at her he tried to find some explanation, maybe she had lost more than one patient, problems with paperwork, problems with permits for her refugee clinic, or maybe... No, Owen didn't want to think in the possibility that Teddy was regretting it all.

"Something happens? You've been really quiet since you got home". Teddy still didn't look him in the eye. "Teddy?" He said her name, she looked up and Owen could see that the tears in her eyes were fighting not to fall, leaving him even more confused.

"When are you leaving?" Teddy asked in a slightly more acid tone than she would've liked leaving Owen completely perplexed.

"W-what?"

"I'm asking when do you leave! What are you still doing here? Don't you have people waiting for you in Seattle? I don't know, your mom, Megan... Amelia?"

"Teddy, I'm not understanding anything... What the hell are you talking about?!"

"I was very clear Owen, I asked you when you arrived and I ask you again now… what the fuck are you doing here?!"

"I told you and I've telling you all these days! I came here because I love you!" Their conversation grew increasingly heated and neither of them could avoid raising their voices.

"You came here just to fuck me and that was the only thing you've done all these days!"

Owen let out a humorless laugh. "So you think I just came here to fuck you?" Owen jumped up from his seat making the stool fall to the floor. "What or who the hell made you think that?!" Teddy didn't answer anything and again looked down at her plate. "Now it's me who is asking you a question, Teddy! Or is that what you've been thinking all this time? That I crossed the damn Atlantic just fuck you?!" Teddy's breathing was growing deeper and deeper, for Owen it was clear that she was trying not to burst into tears or to burst out in anger, probably both. What wasn't clear to him was what had made her think that.

One, two, three, six, ten seconds and Teddy still didn't say anything. "Is that what you want? That I leave? If so, tell me with all its letters and looking me in the ey…"

"I'M PREGNANT, OK! YOU FUCKING GOT ME PREGNANT!" Teddy yelled slapping the palms of her hands against the table…
