Owen's POV 3:00 AM

I roll over in the middle of the night and don't feel my wife. I open my eyes to look around and see the bathroom light is on with the door closed. I walk over and open the door. I see Amelia with her pillow laying on the ground with a blanket around her.

"Amelia" I say softly as I kneel down.

She opens her eyes, "I woke up really sick and came in here a few times somehow without waking you. But then I just lost the energy to keep going back and forth so I brought my stuff in here."

I frown and lean against the bath tub and gently lift her head into my lap. "I'll stay here with you."

"Owen go back to bed."

"No I'm staying here, close your eyes get some rest." I run my hand through her hair as she falls asleep again.

7:00 AM

I wake up to the sound of Amelia throwing up. I open my eyes and quickly adjust her hair for her. "I'm sorry I didn't wanna wake you" She sighs.

"Don't be sorry." I rub her shoulders and feel her muscles relax.

"These kids suck. Help me up please we need to go get things set up for Carmen." I nod and hold her hands to get her up.

"You work today don't you?" I ask her as she starts brushing her teeth.

She nods, "Why?" She asks me with a mouthful of toothpaste.

I laugh, "Webber says they are doing some party thing since it's my first day being chief. It's just gonna be in the conference room and people can come and go, get food whenever."

"I'll be there." She smiles at me as she puts her toothbrush away.

I walk into the bedroom and start getting dressed. I'm tying my tie and look into the mirror, "I can't believe I'm going to work looking like this."

Amelia comes up beside me, "You look hot Chief Hunt." 

I laugh and kiss her, "Thanks Dr. Shepherd-Hunt."

She smiles and grabs Carmens's gifts, "Let's go downstairs."

We walk downstairs and set her gifts on the counter. I start to hang up the happy birthday banner.

I look at Amelia sitting on the stool with her hand on her bump scrolling though her phone. "Can you believe we are going to have 4 kids?" I ask her leaning against the counter.

She looks up at me, "It shocks me everyday" She laughs and holds her hand out for me. I walk over and take her hand and wrap my arm around her.

"Remember when I left you to go to the army?" I ask her as I rest my head on top of hers.

"I hate thinking about it, but yes I very much remember that. Why are you reminiscing?" She rubs my arm.

I sigh, "Just thinking about everything we have been through to get to this moment right here. It's been a long road, hasn't it?"

My wife turns her head to look at me, "A very long road, but I wouldn't change any of it. Especially since even with all the bumps, here we are. Still together, even married and with a family." She smiles and puts her hand on my cheek.

I smile, "You're right" I lean in to kiss her.

"Helloooo! I am right here!" Carmen makes her presence known as she stands there holding her sister.
