Hey! So I wan't planning on carrying on with this story, but I wrote some one shots on tublr and addig them to my ongoing story would have fecked up the timeline. ~I hope you enjoy.

"He…Hello?" Amelia spoke softly into her phone, trying to remain as still as possible. With her eyes closed, as she listened to the voice at the end of the line. It was daycare. "Both Bailey and Ellis?" she asked, collapsing further into the sofa at the reply. "I'll be right there," she hung up.

She remained still, slowly opening her eyes and drinking some water. She rubbed small soothing circles over the slight curve of her stomach, hoping that would calm the nausea.

Sighing, she readied to stand, clinging to the arm of the sofa as she did, cursing the morning sickness, and slightly cursing Owen.

She could hear the crying as she approached. She stopped at the door and composed herself, not realising the daycare nurse had seen her and was approaching. "Hey, you look like you have what they do…" she said, pulling Amelia back to the present. She had Ellis in her arms, who was wailing loudly, now reaching with flailing hands towards Amelia.

"Hey…" Amelia said, taking Ellis from the nurse. Holding her against her chest tightly seemed to sooth her instantly. "We've put Bailey into Ellis's stroller, asleep" The nurse said, leading Amelia towards him and pushing the stroller from the corner so Amelia could push it. Amelia nodded her goodbye.

She walked slowly back to the break room, visualising the couch. Both kids dozed as she walked, and she felt close to that too. She found it calming, walking at this slow pace through the hall, something about sleeping children. "Amelia…" She heard Owen call and she spun slowly. "Hey" he said, sprinting to her, "What's going on here?" he said, grazing his palm over Ellis' back and along Amelia's arm. "Daycare said they were both lethargic and Ellis wouldn't stop crying…. Meredith and Maggie are both in the OR." He nodded, worry twisting his features.

"Aren't you finished? You were in last night?" He questioned.

"Aren't you?" she said, but knowing he had a right to ask. He pursed his lips, looking down at her slight bump before looking away. Amelia saw this and let go of the stroller to grasp his hand, pulling it to her waist. She squeezed his shoulder, "I am done, I'm just staying for an hour or so in the break room, until Edwards reports back on a patient waking up after surgery" she said, capturing his eyes, trying to calm the storm that revs inside him whenever he worries for her.

He nodded, gazing from eye to eye, then down at Ellis. He softly smiled, "You look beautiful" he said earnestly. Amelia chuckled. "I look sick Owen" she said, pulling him down for a quick kiss, before gripping the stroller again. "I…" Owen said quickly, Amelia turned to face him. He looked behind him, then at his watch. "I'm done too… I'll come"

"Owen if you're not done?…" she said, but Owen was already taking the handles of the stroller. She sighed, smiling as she followed him.

Owen flopped down onto the couch with a huff. Amelia passed him Ellis before disappearing into the toilet. He heard her retching only seconds later. He grimaced, glancing down at the reason he wasn't in there beside her. "Amelia…" he said, as she went silent. "Amelia… Am"

"I'm fine" She said, her voice rough, as she ran the tap. Owen frowned, caressing Ellis' back.

Amelia groaned as she opened the door. She hugged herself, chills wracking her body. "Come here" Owen said, holding his arm out, hand reaching for her. She took it and sat down, curling into his side, shivering. "I hate this…" she uttered, tucking her hands between them.

"Me too" He rubbed her up and down trying to warm her. He reached out steadily with his other hand and pulled a blanket from the back of Ellis' stroller, covering them all with it. Her shivering slowly calmed and she sighed, allowing herself to relax. "I need to message Mer…"

"Doing it now" he said, flicking through his phone. Amelia watched tiredly, eyes peeking out from the blanket, which smelt of a familiar detergent and baby, both smells sweetly comforting.

Edwards entered to find only Owen awake. She stopped in her step, and froze. Unsure for a moment as to what she should say. "Edwards…?" Owen said, his hand closing a little tighter around Amelia. "You have an update?" he said quietly. Edward's eyes ran over the children, then to Amelia. "Uh yeah, the patient has woken up. Responses are good, labs are all good" she said, keeping her voice hushed, smiling slightly.

"Good… I'll let…"

"Go home Edwards" Amelia said, muffled by sleep. Both Owen and Edwards looked to her. "You did good" she said, before inhaling deeply, rolling into the back of the sofa and opening her eyes. She smiled tiredly, and nodded. "Go home." Edwards nodded, smiling at them both and leaving.

"We should go too" she said.

"What about these Babies?" Owen said, nodding towards Bailey and Ellis.

"Mer will have to fight me" She said, grinning. Owen laughed, stirring Ellis. Amelia shushed him, laughing quietly. "I think the one in there is enough for us just now, we'll wait a bit" he said, poking her stomach tenderly. "Let me see?" he said, impishly, he'd been cautiously excited by the new development of their little bump, scared of overwhelming her.

She smiled gingerly, turning to lean against the arm of the chair, tucking a pillow under her back, already giving him more of a view than he'd yet. She was spurred on by his awe, it made her heart flutter. She beamed at him, smoothing her hands over, flattening her shirt against her skin. "Wow" he mouthed, grinning. She laughed, taking in a deep breath and picking up his hand and moving it under her shirt. "Hey take a deep breath in, and then when you breathe out relax all your abdominals" Owen said, and Amelia grinned, her nose wrinkling.

"Have you been reading?" She said. He smirked,

"Yeah, I…" he cheeks blushed and she hiccuped a laugh, "I just found it and thought it related to you, because your abs are strong… some women subconsciously tense… it can hurt your back" he said, looking up at her with an embarrassed smile. Her head lulled to the side, against the sofa back. "You're sweet… Okay what do I do?" she said, shuffling a little to get more comfortable.

"So relax your body, take a deep breath in, and then when you release it, try and relax all your stomach muscles" He said, and she closed her eyes, placing her hands over her shirt around his. "That's it…" he said, feeling her stomach enlarge ever so slightly. She did it again, laughing and contracting her stomach again "deep breathing gets me dizzy" she said, carrying on.

She relaxed again and exhaled, "Its bigger!" she said, opening her eyes and looking down. He beamed at her, and laughed "Yep" she puffed and looked at him in awe.

"And it's meant to be like that?" she asked. He nodded slightly, "it's better for both of you to relax your muscles" he said, still taking in her smile, and moving his fingers side to side, enjoying the closeness that he so craved. He looked down at her bump, smiling absentmindedly.

Her phone vibrated, and she watched Owen for a moment longer before picking up her phone. "Mer's on her way" she said as she wrote her reply. Owen hummed, his head tilted against Ellis', his eyes now closed. His hand was still on Amelia's stomach, fingers drawing back and forth.

Amelia sighed contently, resting her head against the sofa again, watching him. "Let's go home O" she said, softly tearing him from his revelry. She ran her hand up his arm, grazing the hair at the back of his neck. He nodded, lingering in her eyes. "Let's go home."
