Hey sorry for the long break- I've had some really big exams so I haven't really had the time to write and I have some more in 2 months but I will try- 'fingers crossed'- to finish this fanfic before them. This episode is based on season 11 episode 22- She's leaving home as I wanted to develop Teddy and Amelia's relationship! Thank you all for your kind reviews!

'Teddy?' Owen whispered while coming into the scrub room to an exhausted looking Teddy just taking off her lovely blue bird scrub cap.
'I've been here for about 36 hours Owen I'm going straight home now so you can't drag me into any more surgeries.' She whined with a smile on her face.
He stood there looking into her eyes with a sincere and serious look.
'Teddy.'
Her smile began to disappear as she knew he had his chief face on. She knew something wasn't right.
'Derek Shepherd was in an accident.'
'When? What happened?' Teddy questioned with a serious and concerned look on her face. 'Is he okay?'
'Teddy...'
Owen paused and looked into Teddy eyes.
'...he's dead. He suffered a massive frontal lobe haemorrhage and was pronounced brain dead and taken off life support this morning.'
'Does Amelia know?' Teddy whispered anxiously.
'She's in surgery - you know the protocol.'
Teddy paused. Memories off that dreadful day which she spent obliviously working while her husband lay dead a few metres away. The pain she felt when she found out, the betrayal she felt from Owen and the consequences that led to the near collapse of her friendship all came flooding back. That damn protocol - she knew it too well and she knew how hard it would be for Amelia to hear it.
'I'm so sorry Owen. Who's going to tell her?' Teddy whispered back.
'Me.' He slowly said while looking up from his feet.
'Let me come with you, I'm really close with Amelia and she's going to need a shoulder to cry on.'
'Teddy, you don't have to - I am the chief.'
'When does she get out of surgery?' Teddy responded while Owen let out a little smile. He didn't know what he would do without Teddy.

'Who's dead?'
'Amelia.' Teddy spoke softly looking at Amelia who looked neither upset or pleased - her face was cold and absent of all feeling. She looked through the window of the scrub room and saw Callie comforting the distraught Edwards and looked back at Amelia.
'I know the face - been there, seen it before.' She said coldly.
'Derek.' Owen whispered.
Amelia stayed still while Teddy tried to hug her.
'I'm fine,' She announced while pushing Teddy away and walking out the room. 'I'm going back to work now.'
'Amelia!' Teddy called but it was too late she was gone. The two stood there silently looking through the glass of the scrub room to Callie comforting Stephanie but nothing would change the fact that Derek was dead and Amelia was in shock.

'Hi this is Amelia and I can't talk so leave...'
Owen looked at Teddy with an annoyed look- that was the seventh call Amelia obviously refused to answer and she wasn't answering any of her pages.
They were both worried.
After talking through their options Teddy and Owen went searching the whole hospital from head to toe, searching and after about 5 minutes of searching they agreed it was best to split but despite looking for ages neither of them found Amelia.
She was gone.

I realised not much has happened and it's been a really short chapter but it will get better!
