Will this turn into something more? {Omelia}

8: I love you

In the previous chapter there was an explosion of a train, and Amelia was very close to the scenery. She had been unconsious for a few minutes.
*************************************

Amelia's POV:
I had been lying here on the ground for a solid 5 minutes. That's at least what I thought. When I felt that it was the right time to slowely try and get up, I did. I felt my whole body ache. 'Shit.' I mumbled as I placed my hand on my forehead.
'Miss, are you alright?' I heard someone yelling at me.
'Yes. I guess so.' I said as I got up.
'Oh, you're a doctor too..'
'Yes, I am. I was trying to help patients and suddenly a part of the train exploded.'
'Well, we need you to go to the hospital.'
'But..-'
'No, seriously. Common.' He helped me get up.
'Alright.' I said as I walked up to the ambulance with him. I knew that I could not have won the conversation so I joined him to the hospital. I try to never let the patients win this little fight, they Always need to be treated or at least checked out. The ride to the hospital was bumpy and my head hurt.
A few minutes later we finally arrived to the ER. Hmm, so that's what it feels like for a patient.
I walked through the doors and suddenly everyone was looking at me. Why? Had they seen a ghost? Maybe I was looking like a ghost...
'Oh my god, Amelia!' I heard a familiar voice call out to me.
'Owen!' I shed in tears and he ran up to me. He hugged me tight but also not too tight because he noticed that I was in pain. He kissed me softly on my cheek, I looked at him.
'Are you alright?' He said, trying to contain his tears from streaming down his cheeks. 'I don't know, honestly.' I responded, crying.
'I need a wheelchair over here, please!' One of the nurses brought one to us. 'Here, sit down. Oh god, Amelia, I was so worried about you.' A tear streamed down his face.
'I know, I'm sorry, I think I've also lost my phone..'
'Oh, we can go buy a new one, but I'm so glad that you are okay!' He put his hands on my face, and as a natural response, I leaned in and kissed him soflty.
We were both trapped in a bubble and that is why we did not notice everyone around us. As we kissed I heard a lot of surprised sounds...
Shit, the secret's out... I thought.
We pulled back from the kiss and everyone was staring at us.
'Uughh, Amelia, you need to be checked out and stitched up, okay..' Meredith said.
'Yeah..'
'I'll check her.' Owen said and pushed the wheelchair to one of the trauma rooms. He closed the door.
As he was suturing the wound on my forehead he said: 'Well, I guess the secret's out now..'
I had a soft smile on my face.
'Yes. But I do not really mind.. Let's prepare ourselves for questions...'
'Sadly we have to. Alright, I'll take you-'
'Up to CT?' I looked at him.
'Well, yes.' He smiled soflty.
As we got our scans back, nothing seemed to be wrong, I just had a very bad headache.
'I'll put you in a room here, so you can rest and tonight you can go home with me. I'll take care of you, baby.' He said.
'You're too sweet.' He helped me getting up and put me in the bed.
'I could've done this by myself you know?' I chuckled.
'I know but I like to take care of you. A lot.' He said as he kissed my forehead. 'Now, sadly, I really have to go. I have surgery, but I will check up on you soon, okay?'
'Okay.' I smiled.
'Page me if you need me!' He said walking out of the door.
Right as I closed my eyes, Meredith walked in.
'Hey, I'm gonna let you rest for now, but I just wanted to know if you were alright?'
'Yeah, thanks Mer.'
'You're welcome. And good luck with all the future questions about you and Owen by the way.'
'Thanks haha.'
'Now, you need some rest. I'll visit you later, okay. Bye.'
'Bye!'
I closed my eyes, took my meds, and soon enough I drifted off to sleep although it was not even 2pm.
'Amelia..' I heard a soft voice waking me up.
'Arizona?' I said, squinting my eyes and recognising her.
'Yeah, hey. How do you feel? I had to check up on you so..' She sat down in the chair next to me as I sat up a little more.
'Uh, I guess I feel better.' I said, touching my forehead. 'My headache is almost gone.'
'Good, good! Oh and I see that your scar is healing well too.'
'Yes, everything's doing fine.' I answered.
'Alright, so now we can take you off your meds. As you already know you can still take something if your headache comes back, but it cannot be as bad as it is right now.'
'Okay, thank you Arizona.' I smiled at her.
'So, I kinda wanted to ask you something.' She said as I already knew what was going on.
'So, what's up with you and Owen?' She asked, smirking.
I nervously twisted my bracelet around my wrist.
'We are a couple.' I said, waiting for her response, smiling widely.
'Oooh, you cuties! For how long have you guys been together?'
I laughed.
'A couple of weeks, but we wanted to keep it private in the beginning.'
'Oooh, I see! Well, I thing that the two of you are a nice fit!'
'Oh, thanks!' She smiled at me as her pager went off.
'Gotta go, see you later!' She said and ran off.
'Bye!'
I actually slept pretty well but that was probably because of the medication. I was a little bit afraid for the night because I wanted to be able to sleep.
I rested for a couple of hours until Owen cleared me and brought me home.
'So, I am going to make you some hot soup. Is that alright?' He asked.
'Yes, ofcourse. But don't you mind? I mean I could have just gone home to Mer's house..'
'No, I do not mind at all.' He lightly smiled.
'What is going on, Owen?' I saw the sad look in his eyes.
'Amelia..' He said, walking up to me and taking my hand.
'Today.. Was awful. For you obviously of what you went trough but.. I felt like I had lost you. I saw the explosion on the news and Bailey told me that you were at the scene so I called you.'
'Voicemail probably? I lost my phone..' I said.
'Yes. Voicemail. It took you a while to get to the hospital but I really thought that I'd lost you babe. This is the sign that I cannot live without you.' He shed a tear and hugged me tight.
'Oh my.. Owen..' I hugged him back. 'It is alright now, I am here and I am not going anywhere unless you want me to.'
We stayed in this hug for a few minutes when Owen initiated to part. He looked me right in the eyes.
'I love you.'
I drowned in his eyes but managed to express my feelings.
'I love you too, Owen. Very much. I think on some level, I always have.'
I saw him giggle of happiness.
'Kiss me.' I said, and that he did. He kissed me with passion but still soft. He seemed to be worried about me, still. I have been lucky today.
'Owen, don't be soft on me. I'm fine.'
I kissed him with a lot of passion to show him that I was alright. I cupped his face in my hands as he let his hands sled down to my lower back. 'Hmm, you're cold babe.'
'Kind of.' I giggled.
He got up, went to the closet and took a blanket to cover us up. We put it around us.
'Are you sure that you want to go to work tomorrow?' He asked. I put my head in his lap, as he was running his fingers trough my brown locks.
'Yes, I think so. I am not having any pain right now so I guess I will. We'll see tomorrow morning.'
'Okay.'
I fell asleep on the couch in his lap, it was already late.
I was dreaming about the explosion, but it was worse than it acually had been.
No, Owen! Help, my leg has caught on fire! I need you to be here right now! This hurts like hell! I wanted to run but I couldn't. Someone please take care of me, I am here on the ground. All the paramedics seemed to be gone already and all the victims had caught on fire. My clothes had now caught on fire too.
'OWEN' I screamed as I woke myself up.
I was panting and covered in sweat.
Owen had fallen asleep too. 'Baby, it was nightmare. Are you okay?' He asked as I tried to sit up straight.
'Yeah, uh I guess so.'
'Let's go to bed. Maybe, you having a more comfortable position will help you sleep better.'
'Uhu..' I stood up, went upstairs and got under the covers. He laid next to me.
'Goodnight beautiful.'
'Goodnight.' He kissed me on my forehead.

The next day I decided to go to work. I felt alright, the only thing visible were my scars and bruises.
Bailey told me that she had not planned surgeries for me today, she wanted me to have a chill day.
That did not take too long because after checking up on patients, I got a page to the ER.
'Dr. Shepherd? Head trauma over here.'
'Coming!' I said as I put on a scrubcoat.
I checked him out and he had to have surgery right away.
'Save an OR for me please.' I said to the nurse and took the bed upstairs. I got scrubbed in and Edwards joined me in the OR.
We did a craniotomy, well Edwards did most of it. She deserved it after all the hard work on the Herman surgery a while ago. I just supervised her, she is going to be a great surgeon.
At lunch, I saw Owen sitting at a table with Meredith, April and Alex, so I joined them.
'Hey guys.' I said.
'Oh, Amelia, do you want to sit next to Owen?' April asked me.
'Uh, oh it is okay.'
'No, please, here!' She went to sit next to Alex so the seat next to Owen was free.
'Alright then, hey!' I sat next to him.
'How are you feeling?' He asked.
'I'm fine. Edwards already did a craniotomy today, I supervised.' I said, proud of her.
'Huh, I thought Bailey did not assign you to any new patients yet?' Owen asked. He seemed worried.
'She did not, the patient came into the ER and I got paged.' I smiled at him.
'You guys are so cute!' Arizona said, sitting down at our table, next to Meredith.
I locked eyes with Owen.
'Kinda glad that the secret is out now.' I said, giggling, soflty so that no one except for Owen could hear me.
'I liked the sneaking around, though!'
I laughed.
'What's up Amelia?' April asked.
'Oh, nothing. I'm just happy.'
Everyone was in awe.
