Owen POV

As soon as Karev said Amelia's attacker was downstairs, all I could see was red. If I wasn't engaged to the woman of my dreams and a father to the most perfect baby girl ever, I would've made him disappear within the blink of an eye. I made it to trauma room 3 with Karev on my tail and Jackson standing guard outside.

"You have about three minutes before the cops upstairs catch wind and come down here. Whatever you do, be smart about it, and make it quick."

I walked into the room as Karev followed to make sure I wasn't going to kill the man. I grabbed the guy's chart just to humor myself.

"Alright Mr. Miller, what are you in for today?"

He hesitated as he looked my way. It was like he knew who I was.

"Uh.. Drug.. Drug overdose."

"Ahh. Good ole' drug overdose. I see your stomach was pumped by Dr. Bailey. Mind if I check your vitals?"

He tensed up and went to grab for the bedside remote to page for a nurse. I took that opportunity to punch him full force in the face. Instantly blood started to pool in his mouth as his jaw had gotten broke. I yanked the remote to let it dangle on the outside of the bed railing while I held him down by his throat.

"That woman you attacked this morning is my fiance. You nearly killed Amelia. I am going to remind you of this: If you so much as tempt to think of coming near Amelia ever again, I will make sure you go far, far away. Get used to seeing my face because unless you plead guilty on all charges, I will be at every court date, every appeal after your sentencing... Anything that has to do with that savage attack you did on my fiance, I will be there. Now, we have the head of plastics surgery outside ready to take you back to surgery to fix that jaw of yours. You tell the cops what I did to you, and the least of your problems will be your broken jaw. If they ask, you hit one of the shelves in the convenient store as you were falling mid-seizure and it's broken. I am a war veteran. I have witnessed the unimaginable. I can do the unimaginable."

I let go of him and readjusted my lab coat and put his chart back to the cubby off the end of his bed.

"Have a rest of the night, Mr. Miller. I look forward to seeing you again."

I walked out and took some deep breaths to regain my cool. Avery looked over at me with a curious expression.

"Just a simple jaw break. It should be a routine repair for you. I think he got the message loud and clear. Excuse me, I have to get back to Amelia."

I heard Karev starting to tell him what I said as I was walking back to the elevator. My knuckles stung and when I looked down at them, they were red. It was worth it though. As I made it to Amelia's room, I stopped before entering. I could hear her talking to Arizona and she was clearly upset.

"I don't know what to do. There was one point when I was fading in and out of consciousness and I thought, "how bad could this be?" Dying I meant. I was dying, I could feel it. I could have seen Derek again. But I had to fight because I have a beautiful daughter and I know what it's like to lose a parent at a young age. It screws people up. Plus I have Owen now too and he needs me. Especially from what I hear about how nasty his divorce with Cristina was, he needs to get his happily ever after... He needed me, and Bella needed me. But now I look like some kids tried to use me as a pinata. A nurse came in to help me pump for Bella, but I don't think I can see her until I lose some of this gauze. I don't want to traumatize my baby."

"Amelia, you really don't look that bad. Your eye isn't swollen shut anymore, and I can take some of the gauze wrapping off your head. You really just need a patch. The stitches aren't that long."

I knew I shouldn't be eavesdropping but I couldn't help it.

"I don't know if Owen is going to stay with me now."

You could hear the break in Arizona's voice as she went to respond.

"What? Why would you say that?"

"I'm damaged goods. I look terrible and I don't cope well with things so getting over this attack won't be pretty. And I mean, I endangered Bella. She could have gotten hurt too. He never asked for this... Me, the baby, or this life we threw together trying to be a couple. It's like I'm taking two steps forwards and three steps back. Every time I get a good footing in my life, something comes and knocks me back to worse than before. So I'm not going to hold my breath on this engagement. I mean, for all I know he could turn this against me; that his daughter was endangered by a junkie with her ex junkie mom. He could always petition a custody suit and I'll lose her."

I couldn't just stand there anymore. I went in and she looked just as shocked to see me as I did to hear those words come out of her mouth.

"Arizona, will you give us some time?"

Arizona forced out a weak smile and left the room. I sat beside Amelia and she gave my hand a squeeze.

"How much of that did you hear?"

"Enough. Amelia, I'm not leaving you. Not now, not ever. And it has nothing to do with Cristina. She and I were on two completely opposite sides with everything. I could never leave you just because you got attacked either. That was totally out of your control. You may be a little banged up at the moment, but you're still the beautiful woman I fell in love with. You gave me everything I ever wanted in life... A warm place to call home, a best friend and a lover wrapped in one, and the most beautiful daughter. I have it all with you and I don't ever want to lose that."

That instantly brought tears to her eyes so I bent over to give her a kiss the best I could without hurting her healing nose.

"Owen, I'm just scared."

She looked up at me and you could see it on her face. She really was petrified.

"You went through something unimaginable today so I'm not surprised. But I'm here for you and with you. That's a forever promise. And please stop worrying about me trying to take Bella from you. You're her mother. You are the best one for her. It doesn't matter to me if you're an ex junkie. It doesn't make me love you any less. If anything, it makes me proud. You're so strong and you have stayed sober even after going through some of the worst things. So you may as well give up on pushing me away. It won't work."

That piped a smile out of her which I happily reciprocated.

"You're quite the sweet talker, Hunt. So what did you do to him anyways?"

"Just what Karev thought I would. Punched him in the face. Guaranteed him that I would be there at every court date to make sure you get the justice you deserve. Avery took him back for jaw repair surgery. After that, he'll be arrested and booked in the jail in into their infirmary where he heals until court. Do you want to see Bella? I can call Arizona back in to change out your head gauze so that doesn't look as severe."

"I don't want her to be scared."

"She's just a baby so she won't really understand enough to be scared. She knows your voice, and she knows your heartbeat. Bella will be so content with you just laying with her and even then, she likes nursing better than bottles anyways."

She looked a little hesitant then nodded her head after a minute or so.

"Yeah okay. I haven't seen her since it all happened. I want to see her. She usually makes me feel better when I'm down."

And with that I gave her another kiss before going to get our daughter from the daycare. We would be okay. I would make sure Amelia survived this and would come out even stronger than before.
