Hi everyone! Thank you for your reviews, they mean a lot! I have decided to make these stories more like a collection of one-shots, so stories might not necessarily be in order, but some of them will involve previous storylines. I think I'm rambling and not making any sense so here is Chapter 3.
It had been a long 2 weeks of board meetings, lectures, and 18-hour surgeries and it was beginning to take its toll on Amelia and Owen. When they finally got to go home, neither could do anything but crawl into bed and sleep, too tired to even snuggle up to the other.
This was their life. It's what they signed up for and they knew the craziness would end soon. Owen woke up one morning, rolling over to find the bed empty. He looked at the white board calendar they had hanging in the kitchen to see Amelia had scheduled an early morning aneurysm clip and he sighed in defeat. Maybe tomorrow I'll get to wake up with her.
At the hospital, Amelia had just finished up her surgery and was ready to go work on her ever-growing pile of paperwork. She grabbed a cup of coffee and settled in. Her phone buzzed, jolting her out of her daydream. Oh my god, how long was I out of it. Okay. Focus. Um. Phone. Right.
She looks down at the text.
O: Hi, Amelia, just got in, multiple MVA. Might need a neuro consult. Do you know anyone?
A: Hi, Owen. I think your charming girlfriend might just be available. See you soon.
Amelia composes herself and takes a swig of her now cold coffee. Then she heads down to the ER.
"Good morning Chief, I'm here for that consult. What's the concern?"
"18 year old female unrestraint passenger went through the windshield. Possible concussion and brain bleed."
"Well, let's get her up to CT and go from there"
"Okay, thanks Ame- Doctor Shepherd."
Later up in CT, Owen enters the room.
He peeks over his shoulder and then quickly drops a kiss on her lips.
"Hi Aims. How's the patient?"
"Hmm I don't know, kiss me again." she purses her lips
He shakes his head and smiles, and then leans in pressing his lips into hers. Lingering a little longer this time.
Satisfied, she blurts out "Okay, so definitely a major concussion but nothing else serious so I'm considering it a win."
"Awesome, I will let Callie know she can begin surgery on her leg ASAP. Thanks!"
Owen gets up to leave but she grabs his hand, pulling him back down.
"You really didn't need my consult on this, did you?"
"Umm" he scratches the back of his neck "Well, I guess no. But I knew you were doing paperwork and I figured you could use a break and I really just wanted to see you and I guess I was just being selfish because we haven't been seeing much of each other lately and I guess I just-"
"Owen, shhh, you're rambling, it's fine. No, it's more than fine. I needed a break and I'm really happy I got to see you too. Thank you."
She grips his knee and leans in for another kiss. Their lips lock as she slides her hand up. His eyes shoot open as her hand hovers 'there' and he jerks away from her.
"I'm.. I'm sorry. It just well... We're here and umm I.. It's been a while and I don't think, don't know if I could control myself if you kept that up"
The hurt look on her face faded to understanding and she reached up to brush his cheek.
"Sorry, I've just missed you, that's all."
"I know Amy, I feel the same way," he says, turning his head to kiss her hand that was still resting on his cheek.
"We'll continue this later?" she ponders
He doesn't answer as he quickly flees the room glancing back at her, winking.
