Monday, 7th September:

"Layla, sweetie!", the teacher beamed at one of her students that was brought to kindergarten by her parents. "Happy belated birthday! Who did you bring?", she asked, pretty sure that the brunette was her mother since she had watched the news during summer break.

"Thank you! It's my mama.", the five-year-old smiled up at the woman, whose hand she was holding tightly. "She was found a while ago and she's fine. And guess what! My parents are going to get married.", she shared.

"It is so nice to meet you!", the blonde told Amelia and shook her hand. "Your daughter never stops talking about you.", she informed her counterpart, whose face lit up at that. "You are her biggest role model."

"I'm super happy to finally meet you, too.", the neurosurgeon greeted the teacher. "I couldn't be prouder of Layla, she's so perfect. But I guess you hear every parent say those words about their child.", she chuckled. "We brought some cake for your class."

"That is so nice of you, thanks so much! I am glad you are okay.", she replied. "Alrighty Layla, let's go inside and celebrate your birthday, shall we? Mommy will probably pick you up after lunch."

"I absolutely will.", the brunette agreed, kneeling down to hug her kid, who embraced her tightly. "I love you so much, angel!", she let her daughter know and kissed her head before she let the girl run towards her dad, that knelt down too with Leo in his arms.

"Bye, baby!", Owen beamed at her and kissed her forehead once they broke their hug. "See you later!", he said, waving at Layla when she followed her teacher into the room. "For your first day of taking her here, you are pretty strong.", he praised his fiancé, taking her hand.

"Come in!", the redhead shouted after hearing a knock on his office door. With the beginning of the new schoolyear, he and Amelia both went back to work, and he finally got to take over his position again. "Dr. Shepherd, I figured you had forgotten about me or something."

"Oh, come on, Chief Hunt! Don't be so dramatic.", the neurosurgeon chuckled, closing the door behind herself. Since she had to catch up on everything and didn't feel like cutting already, she would do some paperwork, meaning the couple got to work together in Owen's office. "I had to pick up some stuff from downstairs."

"Is that so?", her fiancé grinned, taking the tablet and the patient files from her to put them onto the table. "Well, then you better get started, Dr. Shepherd.", he winked at his co-worker and stole himself a kiss from her lips.

"Wait!", Amelia beamed nervously, staring up at him. "I also took a test.", she shared, knowing he wouldn't get it right away. His face proved that to be right. "I am pregnant, Owen.", she told him happily.

"Wha...what? Pregnant?", the trauma surgeon questioned. "We are having a baby?", he asked, causing her to nod. "Oh my God! Hi, little munchkin!", he greeted his child as he knelt down and pulled up her shirt to kiss her belly. "It's daddy!", he informed it.

"Babe, you're super sweet but don't get too hung up on this yet. I am so early into the pregnancy...anything can happen at this point.", the brunette reminded him softly, stroking his head gently. "And I don't want us to tell anybody until I've started the second trimester, okay?"

"If that's what you want, sure.", Owen agreed, getting back up to kiss her. "I am just so happy!", he beamed, and she nodded at that, feeling the same way. "I love you so so much!", he grinned. "Now, get to work, Dr. Shepherd."

"Focused as he's ever been.", his fiancé chuckled and took her seat. "Can we get Leo from upstairs for lunch later? I miss the kids.", she cutely pouted, making him chuckle. "It's been two hours.", she justified her words.

"We are going to do a project until Christmas, on which you will have to work together in groups of two.", Mr. Ruths explained to his English class. "Take until tomorrow and find a partner. Have a nice day!", he kindly ordered, dismissing the kids into their lunch break.

"Logan, do you wanna be my partner?", Atlas asked his friend when the both of them occupied a table for their squad. He widened his eyes when the brunette almost choked on his sandwich. "You okay?"

"I'm good.", the Shepherd replied with a nod, feeling his cheeks blush, and hating himself for it. "Yeah, let's be partners on the project.", he finally decided, noticing the confused look on the blonde's face. "What?"

"That is not what I meant. I mean, I kinda did. But we're always partners on any project, so I figured that was a given thing. Do you want to be in a relationship with me? Because I like you and I think you like me, too.", he went into detail.

"Uh, I...I...Yes!", Logan beamed at his friend and put his hand onto his. "How did you know I was in love with you? And does that make you my boyfriend? I'm sorry, I have never been in a relationship before."

"Don't be sorry, it's cute! I haven't either. But I guess this makes us boyfriends, yep.", Atlas stayed cool as always. "Well, you acted kinda weird after the whole porno thing and I mean, I saw how Francis and Carlos got turned on but you...you just looked plain bored, buddy.", he chuckled.

"So, now we are going to kiss and stuff? In public?", his counterpart questioned nervously, jealous of the cool way Atlas could handle anything. The blonde bit his lip, which Logan found extremely cute.

"Only if you want to, Lo.", his boyfriend winked at him, not wanting to pressure the brunette because he knew how shy he could get in front of people. But in his mind, he was the coolest person he'd ever met.
