"Alrighty, on Monday we talked about you and Ryan and his death. It's time to continue with James. How did the two of you meet and get together?", Dr. Brato asked her first question of the day, ready to scribble down notes of her client.

"Well, that is a long story, which might take the whole session.", the brunette answered but her counterpart said that this would be fine. "Okay, let me think.", she said, trying to put the whole story back together in her head.

"Have fun with Aunty Addie, Uncle Jake, and Henry, buddy!", Amelia told Logan, kissing his head multiple times before she let him take her sister's hand to go home with her. The neurosurgeon had to pull the nightshift at St. Ambrose Hospital.

"Bye, mommy!", little Logan giggled, waving at his mama as he left with one of his favorite aunts, the other one being Charlotte. "Love you!", he yelled, causing Amelia's face to light up.

"Wow, such a cutie!", the new trauma surgeon grinned upon having watched the small family. "Let me guess, you're Dr. Shepherd.", he said, holding out his hand for her to shake. When she nodded, smiling at him with her beautiful lips, he introduces himself: "I am James Peterson, trauma."

"Hello, Dr. Peterson.", the neurosurgeon greeted him, biting her lower lip. That was one good-looking man. "Do we get to work together today? Because I wouldn't mind that one bit.", she mercilessly flirted.

"Depends on what you mean.", the brunette chuckled, winking at her. "Would you please look at those scans?", he asked, guiding her to one of the scan rooms. "Woah, personal space.", he laughed when she came extremely close to do what she had been asked to.

"Huh? You just said, you wanted me to look at these.", Amelia innocently reminded him, knowing exactly what she was doing. "And you don't seem to mind too much since you haven't moved away from me after pointing out how close I am standing to you."

"You are one hell of a woman.", James took over the flirting now, turning his body to her to face her. She just mischievously smirked and pulled on his lab coat to kiss him passionately, which ended in them sleeping with each other daily.

"I fell in love with him then and there and well, for me he was the love of my life.", the neurosurgeon shrugged, finishing the story. When her therapist just looked at her without speaking, she got nervous. "What now?"

"We are going to do a thing. Think back to this moment and describe James in five words. It can be either something you felt for him or how you'd describe his character. Whatever you have in mind.", Dr. Brato ordered.

"Uhm, okay. Well, hot. Cute. Funny. Kind. Sexy.", her client replied, causing her to take notes. "As I said, he was super different to the person he became.", she shrugged and sighed.

"Repeat his first words to you out loud, Amelia!", the brunette demanded softly. She had had a realization but noticed that her counterpart hadn't had it yet. "Just repeat them and what you told me after. Then tell me, what you were wearing that day."

"Wow, such a cutie!", the new trauma surgeon grinned upon having watched the small family. "Let me guess, you're Dr. Shepherd.", he said, holding out his hand for her to shake. When she nodded, smiling at him with her beautiful lips, he introduces himself: "I am James Peterson, trauma."

"That is what he said, and I was wearing scrubs because I had had a surgery beforehand and yet to grab my lab coat. But why are you asking me this? I don't understand.", Amelia informed her.

"You've told me he watched you and your son. Red flag number one. I mean, sometimes we see cute kids when we're shopping or at the park. But James must have listened to your conversation to realize how cute Logan was.", the therapist explained. "Secondly, how did he know who you were if you weren't wearing your lab coat with the name tag?"

"Are you...", the neurosurgeon swallowed heavily. "Are you saying...that he's been stalking me for months before he made his move?", she questioned, fearing the answer. Owen came home right that moment, as always greeting them. "He stalked me, Owen.", she started sobbing, running into her boyfriend's arms. "Tell him!"

"You just allowed me to be talk about our session, I need you to sign it after because otherwise this could cost me my job.", Dr. Brato let her client know. "James had stalked Amelia before they officially met for the first time."

"I dated my stalker.", the brunette repeated, crying in his arms. Evelyn had taken Leo to the park today during her therapy session. "Oh God. You, Derek, Meredith, Logan...all of you have been right the entire time."

"Don't blame yourself, Amelia! You couldn't have known.", the therapist advised. "I think that's enough for today. Please sign this quickly and I'll be on my way out.", she informed them and left after.
