"Making the decision to have a baby is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
Author's POV
Amelia just finished her short shift at the hospital, tonight is Meredith's diner party, she and Owen will announce their pregnancy, and she was very nervous about that, she was thinking about how they will do it the afternoon. Her thoughts were interupted when her phone beeped, she grabbed it out of her pocket and read the text.
Hey Mia, a trauma came in so i will be coming later, you take the car and i will call a cab.
P.S I'm still thinking of a way to announce it, i can't wait, i've been thinking of it all day.
- I love you.'
Amelia smiled to herself and a small blush appeared on her cheeks, she put her phone away and changed in some comfortable clothes that she brought with her, when she finished changing she walked out her office and locked it behind her, she made her way out of the hospital but not before quickly walking towards the ER, she glanced around and saw Owen treating a patient, she smiled at the sight, she loved how focused his face looked when he was working, she could stand there for hours admiring her husband, when Owen looked up and quickly glanced at Amelia, he smiled at her and gave her wink, mouthing to her that he will be there for awhile, she gave him a smile and walked out not before blowing a quick kiss at Owen who smiled at her before focusing on the patient.
Amelia was settling in the car, she grabbed her phone and sent Meredith a quick text that she was on her way, she layed her phone down on the passenger seat, she buckled her seatbelt and started the engine and made her way to Meredith's house.
Once she pulled up in the driveway she checked herself out in the mirror and made her way to the frontdoor, she rang the doorbell and waited for a couple of seconds, she smiled when Zola came running to the door.
"AUNTIE AMY!" She heard Zola scream through the door, she smiled and looked how Zola opened the door for her, Amelia walked in and picked Zola up, kissing her repeatly on the cheek.
"Hi Cupcake!" Amelia said smiling, still holding a laughing in her arms.
"Where is uncle Owen?" Zola asked when Amelia put her down so she could stand on her feet again, she now looked up in a adoring way, looking at Amelia.
"He is working, he will be here soon!" Zola smiled and nodded her head. "Where is your mom, Zozo?" Amelia asked her, she smiled when Zola grabbed her hand and dragged her towards to kitchen to see Meredith trying to cook a huge diner.
"Mer! You okay?" Amelia laughed at the face Meredith made, it was a mixure of helpless and frustration.
"Why are the dinnerparty's at my house?! I can't cook that good!" Meredith sighed and looked at Amelia who looked happy, very happy.
"They keep coming back, so you do something good!"
"Free alcohol Amelia, it's all about the free alcohol, so they can forget the horrible food." Meredith looked in the cooking book and sighed even more.
"Let me help you?"
"No! You need to rest, go play with the kids, they love you more than me." Meredith laughed, she felt even more protectice over Amelia now she was pregnant.
"You're sweet, but we don't want crap food." Amelia smirked and pointed to her stomach and then back to her.
Zola was still standing there, not knowing what was going on between the 2 adults, she decided to stay silent and enjoy watching her two favorite people.
"April will come any minute to help me, don't worry! I won't give you crap food, and if it's crap, i will order something for you, only for you."
Amelia smiled and walked towards Meredith, she gave her a quick hug and whispered in her ear.
"I'm going to announce it during the diner, if you don't mind."
"Mind? Me? No! I'm so ready for that moment, do you know how?" Meredith said excitedly.
"No, still thinking about it, we had an ultrasound with Arizona this morning, i'm 3 weeks along." Amelia smiled and adored her stomach again.
"Oh my god! Please invite me to an ultrasound too! I desparately want to meet my niece or nephew." Meredith smiled and also adored Amelia's stomach.
"Mommy and Auntie Amy, what is wrong with your belly?" Zola said approaching the two adults.
An amazing idea popped into Amelia's head when Zola walked towards them, she looks at Meredith who had the same face expression, they were thinking the same thing.
"Zola, let's go upstairs to your room? I have a little surprise for you and i need your help." Amelia held out her hand for Zola to grab it.
"Okay! I love surprises auntie Amy! Especially from you!" Zola grabbed her hand and they walked silently upstairs to Zola's room.
"Tell me Amy!" Zola said when they walked inside, she sat on her princess bed and patted the space next to her for Amelia to sit.
Amelia sat down next to her niece and looked around her room, she saw so many pictures of her and Zola hanging on the wall, she looked at the nightstand and smiled when she saw a picture of Zola, Owen and herself standing there, the picture was taken in Amelia's old room here, she and Owen were sleeping with a sleeping Zola between them, Owen had his arm around both of them, protecting them from the scary world.
"Auntieee, tell me! I'm curious!" Zola said full with excitement.
Amelia laughed and looked at Zola, she thought about how she would tell Zola about her baby.
"Zozo, remember when mommy had a big belly?"
Zola nodded her head.
"Yes two times! When i was little she has Bailey in her belly, and not very long ago when she had Elly in her belly! It was very big! She almost was elephant!" Zola giggled and Amelia laughed with her.
"Well auntie Amy will also have a big belly soon." Zola mouth turned into a 'O' shape and looked at Amelia"s stomach.
"You will have a baby?" A wide smile grew on Zola's mouth and she threw herself in Amelia's arms, hugging her favorite aunt.
"Yes! You will be a big niece!" Amelia smiled, she was very happy Zola understood so quickly.
"Want to help auntie with telling the others?"
"YES!" Zola jumped up and down, she was so happy.
"We will tell everyone during the diner, when Owen is here, i want you to announce it in a funny way, are you ready to hear it?" Amelia smiled when Zola nodded her head fast and hugged Amelia one more time.

"Why don't you open the door for uncle Owen? I think he wants a warm Zozo hug!" Zola smiled big and did as told, she jumped into Owen's arms.
Owen held her up and hugged her back.
"Zola! You get bigger and bigger each time i see you, soon you'll we as big as me!" Owen put her down and set Zola safely on the ground, Zola moitened for him to bend down, when he did she whispers something in his ear.

"You do?"
"Yes, i am going to be a big niece!"
"You are, you are going to be a amazing big niece, i think the baby already loves you alot," Owen said, Zola didn't know her smile could grew wider, but it did.
Amelia smiled at the adorable scene infront of her, she held Ellis close to her and kept staring at Owen and Zola.

"You told...?" He whispered.
"Only Zola, she is in our plan," Amelia whispers back, he smiled and looked at her.
"Is she?" Owen smirked at her, Amelia returned the smirk.

"She loves you."
"She loves you more, i understand, such an amazing, loving auntie." Owen pecked her lips and gave Ellis back to Amelia.
"AMYYY," Ellis yelled out giggling at herself.
"She loves me more indeed, she is a little jealous of you kissing me, aren't you? Princess," Amelia smiled and kissed Ellis repeatly on her cheeks, making the little toddler giggle out loud.
"Lovebirds, diner is ready! Can you strap Ellis in her highchair please?" Amelia nodded her head and looked at Owen giving him a wink.

Owen guided Amelia by holding her back with his hand Amelia set Ellis on the highchair, being the a replica of Meredith she started to argue immediatly.
"NO! NO!"
"Shh Elly, later we will cuddle again okay?" Amelia kissed her head, when Ellis finally gave up Amelia walked to sit between Owen and Arizona, everyone was there, even Miranda, Ben, Richard and Catherine were there.
Owen gave Amelia a supportive smile and kissed her temple one more time.
"Food is here!" Meredith, April and Jo walked in with the food, they set it on the table and went to sit in their seats.

"No! She is 8 weeks along! I can feel it." Callie called out, she knew it for sure.
"6 weeks." Miranda said.

"YES, I WON!" April stood up and did a little victory dance.
"Yeah yeah whatever, congrats," Callie said, she couldn't take her loss obviously.
"When did you found out?" Alex asked curious.
"Couple of days ago, i freaked out to Meredith who recommended a pregnancy test, i told Owen the same night, he was very happy, he almost cried." Amelia smirked and looked at Owen who agreed, he was a real man.
"This morning we had a ultrasound with Arizona, and everything is okay," Amelia let herself sink into Owen's arms and smiled.

A few days later Owen walked into the bank, he decided to quickly walk by before his shift started to deposit a check, he heard some weird noises behind him but decided to let it go, until he heard them getting louder and louder and hearing a loud voice shouting.
"EVERYONE ON THE FLOOR! THIS IS A HOSTAGE, KEEP YOUR MOUTH'S SHUT OR YOU WON'T WALK OUT OF THIS BUILDING!" Owen eyes went wide as he saw 2 deguised men running in with both holding a gun, he hurried to the nearest desk and hid behind it, he looked and saw them about 15 feet away from him, his mind wondered to only one person.
Amelia.
He grabbed his phone, he thanked god when it was still on silent, he went to his contacts, he looked at Amelia's name in his contacts, he knew she would freak out if he called her with this news, someone should tell her without hurry, he scrolled down to the name he knew he could trust, he looked one behind him one more time, making sure that they didn't see it, he dialed the number and set the phone to his ear.
"Owen? What can i do for you?" Meredith said.
He knew he could trust Meredith with Amelia, if something happens to him, he knew Amelia was safe with Meredith.
"Mer, listen to me, don't ask any questions, i'm at the bank, there is a hostage going on right now, two man with guns, i can't see their faces, i want you to call the police and tell Amelia.. please take care of her, tell her everything will be okay, please don't let her freak out to much, for her sake and the sake of our baby, tell her i love her so much, if something happens to me, take care of her, she is my everything." Tears were falling down his cheeks as the whispered to Meredith, still looking if the two man didn't see him.
Meredith didn't know what she heard, this can not be happening right now, being the strong woman she is Meredith immediatly talked back.
"Owen listen to me, nothing is going to happen to you, you will tell her yourself that you love her, stay calm there okay? I will make sure Amelia won't break down, okay? Please stay calm and stay safe, you need to hang up now okay? For your own safety, everything will be okay, i'm going to call the police, i will see you in a couple of hours okay?!"
"Ok-" she heard before the line suddenly went silent.
