Amelia POV
Albeit Owen's desire to pick a fight right before we had dinner with my brother and his family, I was able to convince him to wait until they had left. He was pissed about James coming to Grey-Sloan for a week yet I failed to see his reasoning behind that.
We were getting ready to lay down when he started to go off on his tantrum.
"Amelia! I'm just saying... You'd think you would tell your husband if your ex fiancé is coming into town."
I rolled my eyes and continued to take the throw pillows off our bed with his help getting the ones on his side.
"I got an email from Bailey like three days ago. I didn't think anything of it because I don't care. I'm still on leave and I'm not concerned about him being there."
"And if he has a secret mission while he is here?"
I plopped down on the bed feeling more and more exhausted as the conversation continued.
"What would that 'secret mission' be?"
He ran a hand through his hair and sighed deeply.
"I don't know. Out of all the hospitals in the country he could shadow at, he picks the one his ex is working at. What if he's just trying to get back together with you?"
I couldn't stop myself from laughing.
"He can try all he wants but I'm married to you. I'm legally bound to you. He probably picked Grey-Sloan because we are known for being the best of the best. I could almost see where you are coming from if he was coming for neuro but he's not. Now can we drop this?"
I finally pulled the covers up once he laid down. He huffed again and rolled on his side to face away from me. My eyes started to water again. I just wanted us to be okay. We were supposed to be working on things and now he wanted to pick something so small to get pissed about.
"I just don't get why you didn't tell me. If I found out Cristina was coming, I would tell you!"
"Like I said, I didn't tell you because I didn't care he is coming. You should be able to trust me, Owen."
"It's not you I don't trust, it's him. Amelia, I love you more than anything. I want to be able to protect you at all costs. I know you don't understand it. I just don't want you to forget what we have and fall for him again."
I didn't even care at this point if he was trying to stay mad at me. I pulled him by the shoulder back down so he would lay on his back so I could see him.
"I don't want to hear you say that ever again. You said it yourself: our love is suffocating in the best way possible. I don't care about James coming because all I care about is you and our baby. There is no falling for him because I fell for you. You're the only man I want and it'll always be like that. Please believe me on this one."
Owen cupped my cheeks and pulled me close to kiss my tears away and let our foreheads touch.
"I believe you. I'm sorry for being a jealous ass."
"It's gonna be okay. You're my jealous ass. I still love you."
"I love you even more."
I rested my head on his chest and allowed myself to be lulled to sleep by the beat of his heart.
My sleep was interrupted just before 4:30 a.m by a call from my brother. I debated just going back to sleep but knew it had to be important if he was calling this early. I left Owen's embrace to grab my phone off of the nightstand and answer it.
"Mm hello?"
I yawned and was pleasantly surprised to feel Owen come back to me and spoon me in his sleep.
"I know it's early, I'm sorry. Meredith got paged into work earlier and now I'm getting ready to go to work myself but the kids still have to get up and ready for school. Is there any way you could come get Zola and Bailey ready? I'm taking Ellis with me so she can go to the daycare."
I silently groaned.
"Yeah sure. I'll be there in 20 minutes."
He hung up without saying another word and I took a second to just lay there.
"You getting paged back to work?"
Owen was awake now and kissed the crook of my neck.
"No I'm still technically on leave. Derek needs me to get Zola and Bailey off to school. I should be back around 8."
"I'll go with you."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It gives us more time we can spend together and with our niece and nephew too. We should leave Derek's house early and maybe take them for a donut date before school."
I smiled softly and turned to kiss him.
"You're gonna be such a good daddy."
"You've already been such a good mommy."
We kissed again then finally got up and changed to tend to our aunt & uncle duties.
"Auntie, I want the chocolate frosted one!"
"And what do you think your little brother would want?"
"Sprinkles!"
I turned back to the cashier to place the full order.
"We'll take a chocolate frosted donut, a vanilla sprinkled donut, one large cinnamon bun, a sausage and cheese croissant, 4 bananas, 2 regular milks, a dark roasted coffee just black with two sugars, and a decaf iced coffee with 3 creams and 2 sugars."
I slid her two twenties.
"Keep the change. Thank you!"
I sat down at the table with Zola and waited for Owen to return with Bailey from the bathroom.
"Auntie! They had a little boy pee potty just like ones for big boys!"
"He's talking about urinals. He was way too excited."
I couldn't help but laugh.
"That's very exciting Bailey..."
One of the workers came and sat the tray of food down onto the table.
"Auntie why does Uncy Owen have a big penis and I have a little one?"
I started choking on my drink.
"What Bailey?!"
"Bailey, Daddy said you're not supposed to talk about your penis when you aren't at home!"
Zola felt just as embarrassed as Owen and I did.
"Enough you two. Buddy, I have a very large penis because I'm a big, tall, strong grown man. Yours is little because you're just a little boy. Yours will grow as you grow. Okay? Now please let's eat before you two are late for school.
Once Zola was dropped off at school and Bailey at his preschool, we were finally headed home.
"So you have a very large penis, huh?"
A smirk spread across my face and there was one on his too.
"I mean I am above average and if I remember correctly one of the first times we made love you were telling me about me splitting you in half and that it's the biggest you've ever seen or felt."
My face turned beet red.
"Damn you and your good memory."
