Saturday, 16th October:

"Here's the food.", Teddy, Megan, and Nathan joined the group. They had been asked to buy some snacks for the day and they would order pizza for dinner later, maybe even takeout for lunch.

"Perfect, then everyone's here, including my fucking hot girlfriend.", Owen started assigning jobs, making Amelia chuckle. She was wearing tight jeans and a loose black top while her hair was wrapped in a bun.

"Hunt, that's still my baby sister and you've brought the mattress. It is in your truck. We all know you're gonna bang her tonight, so let's just not talk about how hot you're finding her.", Derek interfered, always one to kill the mood.

"Wait, I am the fun police.", Teddy pointed out, feeling like somebody had stolen her job. "So, what is there to do, Owen?", she wondered. Her friends had asked their kids about which color they wanted their walls to be painted in.

"Alright, well, we are exactly twelve people and there are four rooms that need to be painted, the other two can stay white for now.", the trauma surgeon thought out loud. "I'll do the bedroom together with April and Karev, which will be darkish blue. Teddy, Derek, and Megan, you guys paint Leo's room in yellow. Layla's room will be painted purple by Maggie, Nathan, and Callie. And Logan's room is gonna be red, painted by Arizona, Jackson, and Ames."

"How does your cheesy pizza taste?", Arizona teased, already knowing what was to come when Amelia picked up the second slice of her carton and found the engagement ring under it. Her eyes widened as she looked at Owen across from her.

"I know this is kind of a choice and probably not your favorite way of being proposed to. But at the same time, I cannot wait to be engaged to you again and everything I said back in September is still true. I love you and I want to be your husband.", the redhead explained nervously. "Will you marry me?"

"Is that even a question anymore?", his fiancé asked, slipping the ring onto the finger it belonged to. "Of course, I do! I have always wanted this with you. It just got delayed a little.", she clarified softly. After their friends had congratulated them, they were getting ready to leave, since some of them would be coming back tomorrow. "Sorry, I gotta take this.", she informed them. "Thanks for your help today. Bye, guys."

"Hello darling, I know you and Owen were really happy to have this night together, but Layla won't go to bed. She is scared to fall asleep without you. Leo had troubles too, but he was tired enough, so he let me rock him to sleep. I'm sorry, can you just take a minute and talk to her?", Evelyn requested.

"Of course, put her on the phone.", Amelia agreed, taking a seat on the bathtub in the master bedroom, waiting for her daughter's face to appear on the screen. She had tears running down her cheeks. "What's wrong baby?"

"Do you have a moment to speak to me, mommy?", the five-year-old mumbled, not wanting to interrupt whatever her mother was doing. When she saw her nod, she continued: "I miss you. Are you coming back soon?"

"Yes, baby. Tomorrow.", the neurosurgeon promised, aware of the fact that this was her younger children's first night without her since she had been rescued in August. "Do you want to talk about what's bothering you? Or maybe you can tell me about the greatest thing that has happened today, so you can forget to cry all those huge crocodile tears. I am here angel, and I am not going anywhere until I can see that you have fallen asleep."

"I am a tad bit afraid without you because I love you so much.", Layla sighed. "But I got to walk Ella today. Logan helped me hold onto the leash.", she shared. "It was very great!", her sadness changed into excitement. "How was your day, mommy?"

"Well, that sounds perfect!", the brunette beamed. "You're such a big girl already.", she pointed out, proud of her child. "My day was amazing. We painted your room, those of your brothers and ours. Tomorrow afternoon you will get to see it. Is that a plan?", she suggested. "And you have no reason to be scared without me because I absolutely love you too."

"YAY!", the five-year-old cheered. "But I wanna be a big woman and not a girl.", she let her mama know, getting comfortable in her bed. "Are you staying until I am asleep?", she wanted it confirmed and watched her mom nod. "Good night mama, night Grandma.", she mumbled. "Love you."

"Good night, cutie pie!", Amelia said to her daughter and watched her surrender to sleep before her soon-to-be-mother-in-law took the phone and walked back into the living room. "Thank you, Evelyn. Oh, and good night El!", she said upon seeing the husky play on the carpet. "Tell Logan I love him, too."

"Will do.", the grey-haired woman smiled. "Now enjoy your night.", she winked before she ended the call. The neurosurgeon took off her clothes and put on some silky black underwear that she had brought here to surprise her fiancé, who was waiting for her on their mattress with chips and his laptop.

"Wow!", Owen flirted, watching her position herself in the doorway. "Come here!", he demanded, pushing the stuff off the mattress, and letting her straddle him. "You're so sexy. My hot soon-to-be-wife.", he smirked. "Did you bring condoms, because I forgot them...", he judged his own stupidity.

"You are too, my soon-to-be-husband.", the neurosurgeon gave the compliment back to him and felt his hands explore the silk of her underwear as well as her smooth body. "We have two free rooms in this house, I think it's time to try for a baby.", she decided, crashing her lips against his.
