It hadn't been planned, it wasn't like they were "today we are ready". It was spontaneous, neither of them knew it was coming. They had spent the entire past 2 weeks together; lunches at the hospital, sharing rides to and from the hospital. Of course they weren't alone all the time, but even when they were among the rest of their friends; Arizona, Maggie, Meredith, Jackson, April, Derek, Ben, Bailey, Callie, Alex.. it was bluntly obvious they were a couple. They had another couple of dates in the weekend, but still, they hadn't crossed that line then, even Amelia started understanding the idea of being 'ready', she kind of even felt that she wanted to wait as well.
That night was different. They both have had the busiest day, there was a mass casualty and a lot of trauma was coming in, and surprisingly enough, even in the midst of all the injuries, they weren't together in any case. After such a long day, she tiredly got into the elevator and rested her eyes, leaning on the wall on her right.
Owen saw the elevator door about to close and ran to stop it, he put his hand in so the door opened again. Amelia was startled by the noise and sudden movement, but she was extremely grateful when she saw Owen. Owen walked in and noticed how tired his girlfriend was, "Heyy, are you okay there?" he asked, concerned about her.
"I am now," she said as she moved away from the wall and shifted closer to her boyfriend. She wrapped her arms around his torso, as he held her head from the back through her hair, and massaged it gently. "I missed you so much," she said as if it has been ages since she last saw him.
it wasn't like they spent every waking minute together, there has been days like this before, and they both understood that they were doctors and they couldn't be the inseparable couple they wouldn't mind being. Despite all this logic, he missed her too. He chuckled, "It's barely been a day," he gave her a warm smile
"I don't care, I just miss you," she found comfort merely in his presence next to her
"Me too, but we're here now, okay?" He moved his hands to her soft pink cheeks and caressed her cheek bones with his thumb. She nodded, finally giving him her warmest smile. He leaned in and kissed her. The moment was almost perfect, if it weren't for the elevator door opening and forcing them to break off the kiss, she kept one hand around him as he moved his to her waist, and guided them out, "let's go home now."
The car ride was silent, but it wasn't an awkward silence, it was a very comfortable one. They each just soaked in each other's presence. Owen had one hand on the driving wheel and the other held by both of Amelia's hands.
When they arrived, all the lights in the house were off, it was pretty late, everyone was asleep. He walked her to the door, without breaking contact, it seemed like they couldn't keep their hands off each other for more than five seconds.
They kissed again, it was long and passionate as they both poured their souls into it. Amelia didn't have high expectations, there has been a lot of making out sessions that lead nowhere, but she felt it, she knew this time was different, they both couldn't wait anymore, they were more than ready. Their fatigue was replaced by anticipation, the kiss reenergized them.
His hands explored her body as they slipped under her jacket but were kept above her shirt. She held his face and pulled him even closer. This couldn't wait, they didn't need to rest, they didn't need sleep, the just needed each other at this moment.
He reluctantly broke it off, coming to the realization that they can't do it where they were standing. Amelia read his eyes carefully, "You're going to have to try and be quiet," She whispered. She clumsily opened the door with her keys and dragged Owen in from his shirt as she closed the door. It was astonishing how strong she could be for a petite girl.
…
They lied together in her wide cozy bed, sleeping blissfully, embracing each other. They were awakened by the loud annoying noise of the alarm buzzer. They both groaned, not wanting to get up, "Owen, shut it off," Amelia whined as she nudged his shoulder.
He stretched and stopped the alarm, he looked back at his girlfriend trying to go back to sleep. He rolled back and kissed her right before her ear, "Hey, Aims, wake up, we got to go to work,"
He sat up to find his boxers, when Amelia, without opening her eyes, wrapped her arm around his waist and pulled him back into bed. "Hey, come back here, we still have at least a few minutes," she laid a gentle kiss on his lips and then opened her eyes.
Owen chuckled, "We have a few minutes, huh?" He laid on his side, one hand supporting his head and one hand caressing Amelia's torso, "Have anyone ever told you that you're the most beautiful human being on earth?"
Amelia grinned and bit her lip as she laid on her back, staring back at him while he admired her. She enjoyed it for some time but started to crave for more, "So are you going to waste your time staring? I saw better performance last night," she said suggestively.
He chuckled, and answered with placing himself gently on top of her and kissing her. She took things into her lead as she pushed him back on his back abruptly, and climbed on top of him to continue kissing him.
Derek barged in, unaware of the visitor his sister invited in last night, "Amy, I was wondering you can help me with-" he was saying while he entered the room, and was shocked and disgusted by what he saw
"Derek! Don't you know how to knock!" Amy shrieked as she fell down on Owen and he quickly covered them up with the blanket.
"Oh, Amy! I thought you weren't even- never mind" Derek was truly disturbed as he moved his head down, wishing he could delete that memory
"Oh my god, Get out!" Amelia shouted at her brother and he was out in seconds.
She sighed and looked back at Owen. They both broke down in hysterical laughter.
"From now on, we're going to the trailer," Owen said as the laughs slowed down.
"Oh, no, no way, I remember how the trailer was, we have way more space here," she said half playfully and half seriously.
Owen laughed again, "You're the head of neurosurgery and you still live in your brother's guest room, it's really something else,"
"Oh please, you're the chief of surgery and you live in a trailer on my brother's land," she defended, giggling again.
"Well maybe we should both move out," he said, unconscious of the subtle suggestion
Amelia grinned at him, "Maybe." Her grin however gradually turned to a straight face.
"Hey, what's up? Tell me what you're thinking," Owen was scared she wasn't up for the idea after all
"I want to tell you something." Amelia confessed.
"You can tell me anything," Owen offered with warm eyes
"The family thing, it's not the easiest topic for me, but I want it, and wanting it scares me as hell. When I first came here, I thought it was impossible, I broke up with James practically for that reason. But here, right now, I'm so scared, because I look at you, and I want it, I just didn't want it with him," She said these words and it felt like a weight lifted off her chest, like she just confessed her biggest sin.
Owen knew how difficult this must have been for Amelia to say, but he was so relieved she came around, he knew she would, but he excited and ecstatic at the pace they were moving, "I'm the happiest person on earth to hear it, and I want you to know there is absolutely no pressure. So you're scared, well, I am too, and we'll get there, in time, and we'll work through it, whenever we're ready," he winked at her.
She couldn't have expected a better reaction, "Has anyone ever told you that you're the best man alive?"
"I love you, Amelia shepherd," he said like it was given, like she should have known this already, like it was no news.
She gave in to the look in his eyes, "I love you," she said like she just had an epiphany, like she finally found an explanation to what it was that made time pause when she was with him.
He moved on top of her and kissed her neck. She blissfully buried her head in his shoulders, wrapping both her arms and legs around him. He moved up to her jaw as she moaned. "We have to shower you know," she whispered
"Then let's shower," He got up, carrying her along as clung to him with her body still wrapped around his, as they both moved to complete the best morning of their new start together.
