"Can he stay with us here?" Amelia asked the girl and Olivia nodded yes still looking a little scared.
"Alright" Amelia said and laid next to the girl while Owen took a place on the chair next to the bed.
Suddenly nurse Gloria walked in.
"Hi" she said. "Dr. Shepherd, Susan is here to see Olivia" she said smiling.
"No" Olivia cried.
"You don't want to see your sister?" Amelia asked a bit confused. She knew Olivia liked Susan.
"No" Olivia said crying even more.
"Honey, she didn't do anything" Amelia said sitting up on the bed and looking down at the girl.
"She didn't" Olivia said. "She just let him hurt me" she said and started sobbing. Amelia hugged her.
"Can you pick me up?" Olivia asked between sobs.
"Oh baby. You're hurt honey. I can't pick you up right now" Amelia said feeling really bad. That was all she wanted to do since Olivia got back to the hospital and the fact that Olivia wanted and she couldn't was killing her.
"Yes you can! Pick me up" she sobbed and tried to turn to Amelia's side but cried even worse with the pain.
"Don't baby. It's gonna hurt. I can't pick you up right now. But i will soon, okay? And I'm right here. I'm right here next to you" Amelia said and Olivia just cried.
"I'll talk to Susan" Owen said and left the room.
"Let me give you something for the pain sweetie" Nurse Gloria said getting Olivia's pain meds.
She gave Olivia more painkillers and the girl fell asleep. Amelia sat on the chair and took Olivia's hand.
"I'll pick you up soon" she promised and kissed the girl's hand.

Susan was waiting with her grandmother when Owen walked to them.
"Hi. Dr. Hunt" Susan said. "They told me she woke up" she said smiling.
"She did" Owen smiled.
"Can I see her?" Susan asked excited.
"Can we sit down really quick Susan?" Owen said and they sat.
"What's wrong?" Susan asked.
"Olivia is really scared right now. And she's in pain. And I know that you want to see her but she only wants Amelia there right now" he said.
"But did you tell her I'm here?" Susan asked.
"I did" Owen said.
"She doesn't want to see me?" Susan asked hurt.
"Susan. Olivia loves you. You know that. But right now she needs a little time." He said. "She's scared and we need to make sure she's calm so she can get better" he explained. "Do you understand?" He asked.
"Yes" Susan said and nodded. She was sad but understood.
"Amelia is going to talk to her and as soon as she feels better I'll call you" he said.
"Okay" Susan said. "Let's go then grandma" she said a bit upset and they left.
Owen could see the teen was hurt. But he had to do what was best for Olivia.

Owen went back to Olivia's room and found the girl asleep and Amelia watching tv.
The day went on and if Olivia wasn't sleeping she was crying and hugging Amelia, who managed to always make the sobs go away but never to stop the tears from falling.
Meredith stopped by and they talked about what would happen when Olivia went home and Meredith offered Zola's bedroom to be shared with the girl. Amelia thanked but said she wanted Olivia on her room when they first get there. Meredith also asked if she had told the child about being her foster parent and Amelia said "I'll wait till she's not on so many pain meds anymore and I can hold her"
Meredith agreed it was a better idea, since they knew Olivia would probably cry.
She stayed for a while and then went home.
Alex and Maggie checked on Olivia a couple times but only when she was sleeping.
Around 9pm, right after Amelia gave Olivia her shot, Callie arrived.
"She's sleeping?" Callie asked entering the room.
"Yeah" Owen said. "She's been in and out all day"
"Mostly sleeping though" Amelia said.
"And how was she with you here?" Callie asked Owen.
"Not loving it but not hating it" Amelia said.
"That's good" Callie laughed. "Well I need an X-ray of that little leg." Callie said and gave Olivia a kiss on the forehead.
"Do you mind if I go?" Amelia asked.
"No. Of course not" she said. Callie got a nurse to help and they wheeled Olivia's bed to the X-ray room.
"Olivia." Amelia said trying to wake up the girl. Since they had to move her to the x-ray table, Amelia didn't want the girl to wake up in pain.
"Olivia. Honey" she said and Olivia opened her eyes.
"Hi" Amelia said.
"Hi" Olivia whispered staring at Amelia's blue eyes.
"We need to take a picture of your leg okay?" Amelia said.
"Is it gonna hurt?" Olivia asked.
"No" Amelia said and kissed the girl's head.
They put her on the X-ray table and she started crying because it was hurting being moved around. At least it was fast and the strong pain she felt stopped when they put her down again.
"I'll take your boot out okay?" Callie said and Olivia just stared at her scared. She started taking it out.
"It's hurts. Au." Olivia said letting a few tears fall.
"It's almost done" Amelia said wiping Olivia's tears.
They took they X-ray and Callie said they had to put a cast on.
"Is that gonna hurt?" Olivia asked.
"No. You just have to stay still" Callie said.
They wheeled Olivia to a room and put a cast on her right leg. Below the knee. Olivia cried but Amelia just kept telling her it was almost done and she was okay till the girl calmed down.
"Look Liv. It's purple!" Callie said smiling. Olivia looked down and threatened a smile.
"Isn't it pretty?" Callie asked and the girl nodded yes, and then tried hiding her face on Amelia.
"Alright. Let's take you back to your room" Callie said and they wheeled her out.
When they got there Owen said. "Wow. A purple cast"
"She looks so good with that, right?" Callie smiled.
"She does" Owen said.
"Amelia." Olivia said and Amelia got close to her.
"Yes baby?" She asked putting a lock of hair behind Olivia's ear.
"Can you pick me up now?" Olivia whispered.
"Not yet baby" Amelia said feeling really bad when she saw the little girl's bottom lip.
Suddenly Alex walked in. This time Olivia didn't care. The truth was that she felt safe around Amelia and Callie and if they were there she knew she would be okay.
"Hi" Alex said.
"Hi" Olivia whispered and put her thumb on her mouth. Everyone smiled.
"Alex, can I talk to you really quick?" Amelia asked and he nodded and walked out.
"Can we take her catheter off?" Amelia asked about the urethral catheter the child had on. "She wants me to pick her up. And I know she's in pain but with that it will be too uncomfortable" she said.
"I think it's best if we leave it till tomorrow morning." Alex said and Amelia didn't look very happy but she understood why.
"Look I came to change her bandages and take her feeding tube out. There's no reason why she can't eat now" he said and Amelia smiled. At least something was coming out of the child.
"Do you think she'll let me do it?" Alex asked.
"I don't know. Callie can do it" Amelia said.
"Alright then" Alex said. "I'll come check on her later." He said and left.
Amelia walked back in.
"Callie. Do you think a hamburger for this one is a good dinner?" Amelia asked smiling and Callie knew why.
"Do you want that Liv?" Amelia asked and the little girl nodded.
"So how about we take this little tube out and then you can eat your dinner?" Amelia said.
"Does it hurt?" Olivia asked Callie.
"No. It just feels a little weird" Callie said.
"Okay" Olivia said.
Callie got what she needed ready and took it out. Olivia just said "Au" and before she could start crying it was over.
"All done" Callie said. "You did so good!" Callie smiled at the little girl.
"It hurt a little" Olivia said a little upset.
"Oh I'm sorry baby" Callie said and tickled the girl's arm.
"Callie. Alex said she need a change" Amelia said and Callie knew she meant the bandages.
"Can you do it with me?" Amelia asked.
"Sure" Callie said. "I'll get everything"
"Liv. Remember I told you about the little cut you had on your tummy?" Amelia said and the girl nodded. "Can we put a little bit of medicine in it for you?" She asked and Olivia just looked scared. "Callie and I?" Amelia said.
"Okay" Olivia said. Amelia kissed the child's forehead and said "you'll be okay"
They did it and Olivia cried a little but didn't fight them off. It didn't really hurt, it just stung a little bit. Once they were done they put some cartoon on and Amelia laid down with Olivia to watch them.
"Do you want your hamburger now?" Callie asked and Olivia nodded no.
Callie explained she had to go and said goodbye and left and Owen stayed on the couch. He wanted to be there for them.
After about 30 minutes it was time for Olivia's meds. She took it and just like always it didn't take too long for her to fall asleep.
Owen went out and grabbed dinner for him and Amelia. They sat on the couch to eat. After eating Amelia laid down on the couch and Owen sat on the chair. It wasn't long till Amelia fell asleep. Owen stayed awake for a while but then fell asleep too.
.
He woke up around 2 a.m and realized Olivia looked a bit red. He went to check her fever and she woke up with a little jump scared.
"It's okay it's okay. It's me. Owen" he said.
"Please don't hurt me" Olivia cried.
"Oh no Olivia. I'm not going to hurt you. I was checking if you had a fever " he said.
"Okay?" He asked and the girl nodded still crying.
"Oen?" She mispronounced crying and he looked at her. "I'm scared" she cried and he touched her hand but she moved away.
"He is not coming here okay? Both of them. They are with the police now. They can't hurt you anymore" Owen said. "I'm not going to let them." He said and Olivia put her hand out and he held it.
"You won't see them ever again" he said.
"Do you know where's my blanky ?" She asked with puppy dog eyes full of tears.
"I don't know. But I'll tell someone to get it okay?" He said and Olivia just looked sad.
"I've got you something" he said smiling and let go of her hand and walked to a little table. He picked up a bag.
"Here" he said opening the pacifier box and handing it to the girl. He had bought that when he went to get dinner. It was pink with a little bunny on it. Olivia grabbed it and put it on her mouth.
"Is that better?" He asked and the girl nodded and put out her hand again.
"Can I sit next to you?" He asked and Olivia nodded yes. She was a little scared but she knew that if Amelia trusted him, she could do it too.
He sat on the bed and she snuggled up to him. He felt she was tense. Owen ran his fingers through the little girl's hair and she started to relax a bit.
He did that till she fell asleep.
