Owen woke up to the alarm they had set yesterday. The couple loved to sleep for as long as the kids would let them on weekends but what they loved even more was to get up early for sex. And they had scheduled it for right now.

Therefore, the redhead turned it off and started spreading small kisses over his wife's face, head, and neck. His hand found her stomach but suddenly, she pulled up her legs to get into the fetal position. She didn't even bother to open her eyes.

"Hey, what's wrong?", the trauma surgeon worried softly and stopped touching her, knowing very well that something seemed to be not right. "Do you need something? Can I do anything?", he sweetly asked.

"I've gotten my period tonight and now I feel like crap. My whole body hurts, and I feel sick and dizzy.", Amelia mumbled sadly. "I don't want to have sex this morning, I'm sorry. I can still give you a blowjob if you want.", she lamely offered, hoping for him to refuse.

"Are you kidding, honey? What I want is for you to feel better. I am not going to make you pleasure me when you're not feeling okay.", her husband explained. "Lower back as always?", he questioned, and she nodded. "Okay, relax. I'm going to give you a massage."

"Thank you.", the brunette whispered in pain and let him do his magic. It didn't help much but caused the tissue in her lower back to hurt a little less. "I need you to get breakfast ready today. I can barely move. It hasn't been this bad in a while."

"Well, of course. But what about Lucas?", Owen wanted to know, not happy with the thought of his son getting more distanced again. "He's not gonna enjoy having to spend his morning with me.", he sighed.

"Maybe we can call your mom?", his wife suggested, breathing heavily as she tried to take control over her pain. A second later she listened to her husband talk to his mother and of course she agreed to come over, as always.

"Thanks, mom.", the redhead said before he ended the call. "Alright, I'm gonna get breakfast ready then before the kiddos wake up, so I can focus on them once they're downstairs. We'll bring you breakfast, tea and a hot water bottle later."

"Thank you, babe.", the neurosurgeon mumbled and let him kiss her temple before she watched him leave the bedroom. The first day of her period usually was the worst one and today she came to realize that once again.

Lucas turned around in his little chair and scanned every face in the room with his fear-filled eyes, searching for his mother. His father immediately picked up on it and out of an impulse he lifted the boy into his arms to take him upstairs to see her. He didn't realize what he was doing until they arrived at the bedroom and Amelia's eyes widened.

"You're carrying Lucas.", the brunette informed her husband, causing him to notice what he had done. His shocked eyes looked down at the baby in his arms, but to his surprise he wasn't crying. He stared back at him with rather curious eyes. "This took months with your mom and Derek."

"I'm sorry, baby.", the trauma surgeon apologized to his child, that was rubbing his forehead against his shoulder and neck. "What is he doing?", he mouthed to his wife, panicking. She just shrugged and took another sip of the tea that Layla had brought her earlier while Logan had carried her breakfast.

"Dada!", Lucas suddenly said. It sounded like a realization. As if he had smelled his father's scent after all these months again and finally knew he was actually back. His lower lip started trembling and tears filled his eyes. "Dada!", he repeated, this time louder.

"Do you have your favorite person back, sweetheart?", his mother questioned softly, feeling herself tear up at the sight as well. Her husband sniffled too and hugged his boy a little tighter. "Do you still love your daddy more than anyone else?"

"Uh-huh.", the tiny redhead replied and nodded, still cuddling with his father, and enjoying every single second. "Dada.", he told her. They had heard Luna say it, but it was her brother's second word.

"Yeah, I figured.", Amelia beamed at her son. "He's warmed up to you, but he is still going to be mute around other people.", she addressed her husband to make sure he wouldn't think that Lucas was somewhat okay again all of a sudden.

"I love you so so much, angel.", Owen let his baby know and kissed his head. "And I will never leave you again and break your heart. I promise.", he added. "Do you feel a little better, babe? Maybe you can take a hot shower and relax downstairs on the couch?", he suggested softly.

"I think so.", his wife agreed and let him pull her up. "Are you guys gonna go outside? It's still warm enough and I think Logan, Leo and Layls need to get out some of their energy. We can deal with homework this afternoon."

"Yes, sure.", the trauma surgeon approved the idea. After such a long time, this was the first day he felt like he was considered a functional part of the family again. Amelia didn't make decisions for everyone without him anymore and his son finally recognized him again.

He had been so patient with the boy because he had deserved that, but still, his heart hadn't stopped breaking until today. Holding his tiny child in his arms and watching him smile was making his whole weekend, if not month and year.
