Amelia POV

They needed me to make my statement as soon as I had woken up. It was almost dinner time so I just wanted to get it over with. Instead of having to retell it to the board, I paged everyone to my room. The room was filled with the board members and the three cops there to ask me questions and get my story in full detail.

"I got all of you here today because I am going to tell you all what happened to me one time, and then I will not ever retell this. Please respect that."

"Of course. For records on this recording, please mention anyone involved by their full name."

Everyone just nodded and stood still. I was thankful when Owen came and sat next to me to hold my hand. I hadn't seen how I looked but I knew it was bad. If he was strong enough to be around that and still want me, more power to him. I took a deep breath to will away the tears before I spoke. Just one time, and I wouldn't have to say it again. The cops were recording it... Just one time...

"I was the opening speaker at narcotics anonymous. I was talking about my motivation to stay sober, which I have been for nearly four years, so I brought Bella with me. I know that sounds weird but she was safe, I made sure of it. The meeting went fine and everyone loved what I had to say. Nathan, the man who attacked me, shook my hand as I went to be seated. Nathan's last name is Miller. I was sitting two rows behind him. I left a few minutes early so I could get to work on time, but I wasn't paying attention to see if anyone else left too. The drive to the hospital was normal. As I was getting Bella out to hook her seat onto the stroller, Nathan came running up to me demanding I give him morphine and xanax since I'm a doctor. I told him all of the medication was locked away in the hospital and obviously I couldn't prescribe him anything if he wasn't ill or injured."

I paused for a minute trying to keep my composure. I had to make sure to not leave anything out.

"He was getting angrier with every passing second. I tried to get past him to hurry inside. My purse was too far to reach for my phone or pager. I knew as he pushed me backwards hard enough to make me stumble, there was a slim chance I was going to make it out of there alive. He then demanded my prescription pads. I rarely ever do, but luckily I had a pad and a half in my purse. I didn't want to give in but most fights with a junkie withdrawing is a losing battle. That is whenever he slammed my face into the opened passenger side door, and that's also when I felt my nose break. Blood instantly started to stream. I realized then that my daughter Gabriella was in serious danger. Her full name is Gabriella Elise Hunt. I tried to put her back in the car to escape him. Right as I set her on the seat beside her baby carrier anchor, I tried to step back because I was going to give him the pads, but he slammed the door I was pulling my arms out of, which ended up breaking my left arm. I was at that point screaming in pain. He was angry I was being so loud and punched me in the face. Not only did he give me a black eye, but I fell to the ground which busted my head open. I felt my head instantly get hot and wet so I knew I was bleeding. He ran to the other side and dumped the content of my purse on the floor of the passenger side, grabbed the pads, and said if I would've just listened it all could have been avoided. I was losing consciousness but I remember hearing Bella screaming."

Most everyone had their mouths covered or looked extremely pale. My heart rate was getting faster but I was almost done. Owen gave my good hand a little squeeze. I looked at him and forced out a smile. At least my swollen eye had gone down significantly from the attack ten hours earlier.

"When I came to, I realized I had to get Bella inside to someone before I bled out. I was terrified that I would die before I could get Bella to anyone. Everything hurt and I was extremely lightheaded but I mustered the strength to grab her car seat and stumble through the maintenance side door. It was two left turns before I was near an on call room. Everything was starting to get dark and I knew I was fading again. I stumbled getting her to the bed then everything went black for a while. When I came to, she was screaming again and I was face down in my blood. I tried to get up but I didn't have the strength. I was dying."

By then, I had hot tears streaming down my battered face.

"Doctor Shepherd, we can take a break if you would like."

I shook my head at the officer. I had to get this over with.

"I'm fine. Almost done. I came to and Doctor Calliope Torres and Doctor Arizona Robbins were lifting me onto a gurney. Callie and Arizona are good friends of mine. They were rushing me to surgery and everything went black again. I woke up briefly after surgery to Callie, my sister in law Meredith Grey, and my fiance and daughter's father, Owen Hunt with me. Callie and Meredith wanted to give me space and Owen stayed with me as I went back to sleep. That's all that happened."

The cops stopped the tape recorder and shook my good hand.

"Thank you for your time. We will be in touch and give you any updates as we get them."

They left and the doctors all filed out behind them. I took a deep breath as I looked at Owen.

"How did I do?"

"You only cried half way through. You're so strong Amelia. I know I say that all the time but you really are the strongest person I know."

He kissed my forehead and I couldn't help but smile.

"I love you Owen."

"I love you too."

Alex Karev came running into the room with the most serious look on his face.

"Hunt, they need you in trauma 3."

Owen glared over at Alex.

"I'm on leave until further notice, get someone else."

"No you're going to want to be there... 29 year old male in on a drug overdose. A storekeeper saw him start seizing then he went limp. He got here and Bailey's been pumping his stomach. It's the attacker. I already paged Avery for a broken jaw."

My stomach dropped and I could feel the color drain from my face. It was Nathan. Owen instantly stood up.

"He has a broken jaw?"

"Not yet but I figured I would cover your ass for once."

Owen took one look at me then was gone along with Karev. I had no clue of what Owen was going to do to Nathan. I had to do breathing exercises to keep myself from hyperventilating. I was so stressed out.
