Chapter two
There were a lot of people who got injured during the car crash. Ambulances kept coming one after another, they kept bringing people, there was almost no space left to put them. Everyone was busy saving lives, expect Amelia who was standing in the corner of the ER and couldn`t stop thinking about Owen, her eyes were on the doors as if she was waiting for doctors to roll him in. Thankfully, the flooding of victims stopped and Owen was not among them. Actually no one had a serious head injury and they didn`t need neurosurgical treatment, so Amelia decided to go and look for Owen. She called him couple of times but his phone was off, she was worried, though technically she was not talking to him and she was angry that he forgot to buy a light bulb the night before, she couldn`t handle losing him as well. They had their problems as every couple does. She was so worried that she didn`t wait for her shift to end, she asked permission from Bailey and went straight to Owen`s trailer.
When she arrived she saw his car in front of the trailer, which meant he was home, she calmed down a bit. She knocked at the door, but there was no answer. After waiting for a minute Amelia reached for the keys, which Owen gave her months ago when they just started dating and opened the door. The trailer was as tidy as it always was, there were no signs of robbery which was Amelia`s initial thought, that calmed her fast beating heart a bit more. She walked towards the bed and saw Owen lying there pail and unconscious.
"Owen!" Amelia cried throwing her bag onto the floor and climbing on the bed. "Owen! Owen please open your eyes. You can`t do this to me." Amelia remembered that terrible day when she woke up to see her fiancé dead next to her. Tears were streaming down her face. She called 911 and tried everything to wake him up. He had a pulse but was breathing heavily.
Hours later Owen opened his eyes. He recognized the place, but was not sure why was he in the bed and not in his normal working clothes. He tried to speak, but couldn`t because his throat was dry. He turned his head and saw Amelia sleeping on a chair next to his bed. He smiled and thought how lucky he was to have that beautiful and smart women next to him. He didn`t know how long he was there and how long Amelia had to sleep in that chair, so he tried to stay quiet to let her sleep longer. It didn`t last long though, because the dryness in his throat was very uncomfortable so he coughed. That made Amelia jump sit on her place.
"Oh God! You are ok!" Amelia smiled through tears.
Owen pointed at water. She poured a glass of that and handed it to him.
"Yeah, I`m ok, but why am I here?" Owen asked confused.
"You had high temperature and were unconscious for hours until I found you." Amelia said. "You`ll be fine though. No major problems with you."
"When can I go home?" As every patient Owen hated staying in hospital bed.
"You`ll stay here for another day just to be cautious. Then I`ll take you to my house." Amelia answered casually.
"So you care about me now and you are not angry anymore?" Owen asked smiling.
"No, I`m still mad at you, but you need someone to take care of you, so until you get better I`ll be that one."
"If you came to hug me yesterday I would be fine today." Owen pouted.
"Shut up." Amelia said and pocked him playfully. Both laughed.
At that moment their fellow colleagues and friends came into the room.
"We were worried about you Hunt." Meredith spoke.
"Yes, we were." Kepner said and everyone nodded. "Especially Dr. Shepard." Amelia blushed.
"No need to worry guys, I`m fine now." Owen said and looked at Amelia.
"We brought you some biscuits from cafeteria, people say hospital food is awful." Alex said and put the box next to Owen`s bed.
"Thanks, doctors know how to take care of their patients, especially doctors in this hospital, who are by the way the best." Owen said and winked at his friends. Everyone laughed.
They didn`t stay too long, because everyone had a surgery to rush to or a patient to check up on.
"Ok, I`m going to go too." Amelia said and stood up to leave.
"No , you can`t, we need to talk and actually I need someone to take care of me." Owen pouted.
"I`ll be back later." Amelia said and left.
Owen was left alone in his room and wandered what patients do when they stay in the bed that long. He didn`t know what to do and he was not actually used to not doing anything.
Hours later Amelia came back and found Owen fast asleep. She didn`t want to disturb him so she just sat on the chair next to his bed and tried to sleep herself.
The next day when Amelia woke up she saw Owen looking at her.
"What are you staring at?" Amelia blushed.
"You are so beautiful." Owen said. "By the way good morning."
"Maybe it`s good for you, but not for me. This stupid chair killed my back." Amelia yawned in pain.
"I`m so sorry you had to sleep there." Owen said caringly.
"Thank god I don`t have to spend another night in here, cause I`ll need someone to take care for me as well." She joked.
"I`d do that with pleasure." Owen smiled.
Amelia looked at him but didn`t say anything.
Minutes later Meredith came in.
"Patient Hunt, you are ready to go home." She said with a smile.
"Oh thank god, I can`t stay in this bed anymore." Owen said cheerfully and stood up from the bed. Both women laughed.
Amelia took a day off to take care of Owen and they both went home. As Owen still needed to lay down to properly recover they went to Amelia`s room. Amelia tried to switch the lights on, but couldn`t because the light bulb was not working.
"Oh I forgot someone forgot to buy one." Amelia said looking at Owen.
"Oh here we go again." Owen rolled his eyes. "I forgot, okay? It can happen. I`ll buy one tomorrow."
"You better!" Amelia said and moved to make the bed comfortable for Owen. Once he was lying down he asked Amelia to join him, which she refused to do.
"Oh come on, you can`t stay mad at me all the time." He whined.
"I can."
"No you can`t, you like me and care about me."
Amelia didn`t answer.
"Look, I know that I leave my socks on the floor and I forget to buy things, but it doesn`t mean I do it on purpose." Owen spoke seriously.
"Owen I`m mad because now I have time to clean up after you or buy things you forget, but when we have kids I won`t have time, I`ll clean our kids mess and I`ll need you to help me. You need to start being responsible now."
"Wow. I thought we were done, but we are talking about kids." Owen was surprised.
"You stupid, I`m mad at you but I`m not gonna break up with you. My heart stopped when I saw you yesterday in your trailer unconscious. I love you and I can`t live without you." Amelia said gently.
"I love you too, Mia. I for certain can`t live without you as well, I think I made it clear to you yesterday." Owen tried to lighten up the mood.
"Oh, idiot." Amelia said and tossed a pillow at him.
"Now what will you say about getting into the bed and cuddling with me?"
Amelia got into the bed and made herself comfortable in his arms. It felt like home.
"I`m sorry for everything." Owen whispered into her ear and kissed the top of her head.
"Don`t do this again." Amelia turned to face him.
"I promise, I won`t." Owen said and kissed her gently. "Maybe we should start making babies now?"
"First you need to buy a light bulb."
