What Now?

Popping the Question

•AMELIA POV•
I woke up in Owen's arms in an on call room. He was stroking his fingers through my hair and his other arm was thrown over my waist, our fingers intertwined.

"I love you." I said. I could feel him smile.

"I love you too." He said. He scooted himself closer to me and brought his head to mine, kissing my cheek. He rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Can I stay with you? Meredith kicked me out of her house." I asked.

"Yes. We are meant for eachother." He said.

THAT NIGHT
Owen pulled up to the trailer and we stepped outside of the car. I stepped inside the trailer to see roses and candles everywhere.

"What is this?" I asked, smiling.

"Amelia. I love you. You're my everything. I can't live without you. You're my world. Next time something happens, I want us to lean on eachother. Not go out and drink and not shut eachother out. You never leave my mind. This world without you is something I can't even imagine. I want to spend whatever life I have left, with you." He said. He kneeled down on one knee and pulled out a small black velvet case. He opened it to reveal the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.

"Oh my god." I gasped.

"Amelia Shepherd, will you marry me?" He asked. I was speechless. I smiled and nodded as my eyes welled up with tears of joy. I lifted my left arm and he slid the ring on my finger. He jumped up and picked me up to spin me around. We had some engagement sex and after we just laid there, holding eachother.

"Nathan Riggs." He said.

"What?" I asked.

"If we're gonna get married, we need to have no secrets. I'll tell my story, you'll tell yours." He said.

"Okay." I said.

"I had a sister. Megan. She was smarter than me, funnier than me, better person than me. She did everything I did. We went to med school together, and that's where we met Riggs. Nate was my best friend. Megan loved him. He was like a brother to me and I trusted him with her. We were in the war. He was cheating on her. She called me, I told her to get on a chopper and come to me. The chopper was never found. I blame him for it, I deny the fact that I did it. I came to Seattle and ended up at Seattle Grace. I met Cristina. I fell in love with her at the same time I had PTSD. The shooting happened, I was shot. She saved Derek, Meredith saved me. Cristina was in shock and I thought I would save the day and propose. We rushed into marriage, and we had a lot of ups and downs. Then, she got pregnant. She aborted it. We almost didn't make it past that. The plane crash happened and she needed me. For the lawsuit, I had to divorce her. We still were together, just not married. She went to Switzerland, I was devastated and lonely. Then you came around, and now I know what love really feels like."

"Okay, my turn. When I was young, my dad, Derek and I were in the back of my dad's store. Two guys came in, and shot him for his watch. That's how my dad died. My whole childhood I was the little sibling. When I was a teen, I was a drug addict. I got sober, went to med school, became a neurosurgeon in L.A. My friend committed suicide and I relapsed. I met a guy named Ryan Kerrigan. We got high together all the time. I hit rock bottom when he died. After I got sober, I found out I was pregnant with his child. Who had no brain. Today, there was a patient with a brainless baby, and that's why I was crying. Anyways, I moved on to a guy named James Peterson. He proposed and I ran to Seattle. I got offered a job as head of neuro at Grey Sloan, and the engagement was broken up. Here I am." I said. We laid there talking until we fell asleep in eachother's arms.

We walked into the hospital, hand in hand. My left hand was the free hand. We walked into the lounge and got ready. Miranda was the first to see the ring.

"Shepherd, what the hell is that?" She asked. She grabbed my hand and admired the gorgeous ring. Everyone gathered to look at it.

"Owen proposed to me last night." I said, signaling Owen to me. He wrapped his arm around me. Meredith walked in.

"What's going on in here?" She asked.

"Owen and Amelia are getting married." Callie said. Everyone went their separate ways.

•OWEN POV•
I found Meredith in the hall.

"Meredith. Can I talk to you?" I asked.

"I need to talk to you too. I'll start. I don't think you and Amelia is the best idea. Her history is dark. I promised Crist-" She said. I cut her off.

"Meredith! You can't be my person or whatever anymore. Amelia is my person. Cristina is NOT any of my concern anymore. Amelia is. She's my fiancée. And I love her more than words could ever say." I said as I stormed out.
