Author's POV
It was Christmas eve, everyone was around the diner table, Kathleen and Liz also were here, they didn't bring their husbands and children with them, they calmly wanted to catch up with their little sister and the woman who made their brother happy.
They were their dessert which Amelia made.
Liz and Kathleen couldn't believe that their little sister has grown up so much since they last saw her.
"So, can we finally know why Nancy isn't here?" Liz asked while eating.
Amelia sighed and quickly told everything what happend a couple of weeks back at the hospital and what happend yesterday.
"Damn, what is getting into her?" Kathleen said.
"She was born mean, Kate." Liz replied.
"Girls, we all know it now, lets talk about other things?" Carolyn always knew how to settle them down.
"Yes, let's talk about little Amelia!" Liz laughed out.
"No!" Amelia replied, what would Owen think? She tought.
"I'd love to hear it though." Owen replied with an agreeing Meredith sitting on the opposite of Amelia smirking at her.
Amelia groaned and let it all come over her.
"Okay, so one time she and Derek.." Liz stopped and looked down.
"It's okay, Derek want us to move on.. it's okay." Meredith assured Liz who nodded in agreement.
"Go on, Lizzie." Carolyn replied.
"They uh.. rang all the neighbours their doorbells and they just ran away, each hour they did that, it was so funny." Liz laughed at her own story, the others also laughed with her.
"Or when mini Amelia was setting the garbage outside and Nancy was walked behind her mocking her, Amelia was done with her and threw the whole garbage over Nancy." Kate began cracking up in the middle of her sentence but manage to keep on talking.
"Woow, really?" Owen said also cracking up together with Meredith, Carolyn, Liz and even Zola laughed with them.
"Zooola." Amelia pouted.
"Sorry auntie Amy, it is funny, more stories?" Her eyes went from Amelia to Kate and Liz who were thinking.
"I know one." Carolyn said.
"No, mom! You don't." Amelia warned her mother.
"Yes i do honey, when Nancy was sleeping, you sneaked into her room with my make up, and you gave Nancy a clown make over, when she woke up the next morning and came here in the kitchen and we all burst into laugher and she didn't know what happend until she looked into the mirror." The whole table was laughing so hard, Kate and Liz laughed at the sweet memories from when they were young.
"Amelia as a kid was awesome to see, she was and badass at the same time." Liz said, Kate and Carolyn nodding in agreement.
"Every boy was inlove with Amelia, but she didn't fell in love with them, she just wanted alot of friends." Kate said.
"I never thought our little sis would get married, i'm so proud of you." Liz said wiping a tear away from her eyes.
Amelia felt Owens arms wrap around her, she smiled at him and layed her head on his shoulder.
"I'm so happy." She said making Carolyn cry like a baby.
- 3 months forward.
Amelia was at Meredith's while Owen was working, they were sitting in the kitchen.
"Are you sure?" Meredith asked in a worried tone, not knowing how to react towards Amelia.
"Ofcourse i'm sure." Amelia reacted irritated.
"Have you seen a doctor?" Meredith tried to help Amelia but she saw how Amelia refused her help.
"No."
"Damnit, Amelia! Talk to me, i am your sister, i am always here for you, but you need to TALK." Meredith couldn't handle the subbornness from Amelia.
"What do i need to say? I AM PREGNANT MEREDITH! I can't handle this! It's gonna be a brainless baby again!" Amelia stood up and walked around the kitchen.
"I think i need alcohol." Amelia sat back down again and looked at Meredith, tears falling down her eyes.
"No! Amelia! You don't." Meredith stood up and walked towards Amelia making her stand up.
"Look at me." Amelia looked at Meredith.
"You are strong, i am going to help you, together with Owen, you are not alone, okay?" Amelia nodded her head slowly still looking at Meredith.
"But.."
"No buts Amelia, promise me you won't touch any alcohol or drugs, promise me right now." Meredith said.
"I can't promise you that, i fell of the wagon twice, a third time can happen." Amelia said struggling to talk about relapsing.
"I said; promise me right now, Amelia." Meredith said sternly.
"I promise." Amelia softly said, already knowing she can't keep this promise.

Amelia went home later that afternoon, she was now sitting on the couch, she didn't know how to react.. she was pregnant
Was she happy? Or sad? She didn't feel anything, she wasn't prepared for this, she wants kids; but is it the right time?
Her thoughts were interupted when she heard the frontdoor.
"I'm home, baby." Owen said with his warm voice.
'Baby? There is a baby inside me' she thought, she teared up and began to cry again.
"Aims?" Owen heard she softs cries from the livingroom, he walked towards their livingroom and saw Amelia on the couch, he walked over to her; kicked his shoes off and tried to calm her down by hugging her and rubbing her back.
"What's wrong baby." Owen heard Amelia cry even harder and really didn't know what to do.
"Heey Aims, sshhh what's wrong?" He released himself from the hug to kiss her forehead and looked into her eyes.
Amelia calmed down after the soft touch of Owen's lips and looked at him.
"I am pregnant."
Pregnant? Owen looked at her and heared the word multiply in his head.
"W-what, are you sure?" Owen looked at Amelia who nodded her head.
"Ofcourse, i am a doctor, Owen." Amelia got out of Owen's grip and looked at him.
"What are you thinking about?" Amelia asked him after a uncomfortable silence.
"I am thinking about what is inside your belly." Owen said slowly reaching his towards her belly, Amelia saw it and turned away from Owen.
"Aims..."
"It's gonna be brainless again, Owen." Amelia's voice cracked and turned back to Owen.
"I want to be happy, but i can't, i make brainless babies Owen, i can't survive that Owen, I CAN'T!" Amelia shouted the last part, now crying again, Owen grabbed Amelia and made her look her him.
"Stop talking, okay?" Amelia nodded and looked at him.
"You do not make brainless babies, drugs and alcohol make brainless baby, did you use any of that the last couple of months, and please say no." Owen said still holding Amelia.
"I am sober for 1358 days Owen." Owen smiled kissed her temple, he layed himself down on the couch, Amelia did the same and layed her head on his chest.
"It's gonna be okay, okay? You have a healthy baby inside your belly." He felt her nod against his chest.
"How far are you?"
"I think around two months, maybe even three." Amelia said softly.
"Tomorrow we will go to Arizona okay? We can trust her." Owen told Amelia caressing her cheek.
"i have a surgery with Meredith at 10 AM, will be done at 12."
"Okay, i will clear my schedule, see? Everything will be alright, now let me touch your stomach." He softly heard Amelia giggle and he finally puts his hands on her belly.

"You okay?" Meredith asked looking away from the patient to look at Amelia who seemed to be in pain.
"Yes just a stomach cramp, i am perfect." Amelia let the cramp go and focused on Meredith and the patient.
"You told him?" She whispered so no one could hear her.
Amelia again nodded her head, giving her a wink to let her know it's all fine.
"Weird how someone can change your mind in 2 seconds." Amelia said smiling beneath her mask.
"Love, Amelia it's called pure love." Meredith winked.
"I was miserable, and then he talked to me in his cute voice, and then i just turned into a happy girl, it scared me though."
"I know, you're gonna be alright." Meredith said, feeling proud of Amelia. She remembered when Amelia told her about a maybe relapse now she is pregnant, but if you knew that same person was standing in front of her; feeling happy as ever. She couldnt believe how strong Amelia is.
"Dr. Shepherd, are you on your period?" Jo Wilson suddenly asked, the whole room went silent.
N-no, why?" Amelia asked her while looking at Meredith who looked worried.
"You're bleeding." Jo said.
Amelia looked down and turned pale when she saw blood all over her scrub pants and on the floor.
"MER!" Amelia screamed out making Meredith stop with what she was doing, she ran to Amelia's side and saw what was happening.
"Page dr. Robbins!" Meredith shouted.
