Will this turn into something more? {Omelia}

9: Be my valentine

It had been a week since the explosion and I was completely fine except for some occasional nightmares. Trough the years I got better at it. At coping with with things. The shock is always the same but you get better at it, because you've been trough so much. That's life I guess.
Today it was february 14th, yes that's right. It's Valentine's Day. I wondered if Owen had anything planned for us.

Owen's POV:
Today Amelia had slept at Meredith's place. She loved staying over at mine but she felt like she had to still be at Mer's sometimes. I guess she likes it there, with the girls.
Today was Valentine's Day. Honestly I'd rather spoil my girl everyday of the year, and not just one day but I at least wanted to do something. I was lying on my bed, awake, thinking about ideas. I knew that Amelia's shift ended an hour later than mine, so I had a little time to prepare something. Normally she would quickly grab something to eat at work so dinner won't be an option. I knew it, it would not be something very special but she'd wanted to do this for such a long time, she told me.
Right at this moment, my alarm went off.
I took my phone from my nightstand and opened my texts to Amelia.
'Goodmorning beautiful. Hope you slept well, see you around today. Xxx'
I got ready, had breakfast and headed to work.
'Dr. Hunt?' Bailey said as I was putting on my labcoat.
'Yes.'
'I have a few surgeries scheduled for you today. But please let me inform you first about the staff meeting that will be happening at 2pm.'
'Okay, thank you. I will be there.'
I headed to go and scrub in as I got a text back from Amelia.
'Goodmorning. Just heading out the door, missed you already. Xxx'
That text from my love had put an instant smile on my face.
I had finished my surgery on time to head to the meeting. I was there 10 minutes early, so I already opened the door to take a seat and by my surprise Amelia was also already present.
'Hey!' I said as I opened the door. She looked up from her phone, directly looking at me.
'Hi!' She stood up, as I closed the blinds.
I kissed her softly.
'I missed you too last night.' I confessed.
In response to that she kissed me back and hugged me.
'Oh, before I forget, can we meet up at my house after your shift?' I asked.
'Yes, ofcourse.' She locked eyes with me. Gosh, I loved it when she did that.
We took place next to each other at the table as the others started to arrive.
Our meeting was nothing special, only the heads of each department were present, but I had nothing to say. Bailey informed us about a very special patient that would be arriving soon. He had been treated by Richard and this hospital for years and because of his uncommon disease. We had to treat him 'like a king', and 'nothing could go wrong'. I was maybe overthinking all this but we have to make sure that every patient that arrives here is alright, not just him. I felt like everyone had to be treated equally but I did not confront Bailey with it because it was one of her first big assignments that she had to do. As she explained the case to us, it got clear that this was a very important surgery that he was going to get.
During the last minutes of the meeting - that I actually did not have to attend anyway - Owen sent me another message.
'Can we meet up at my car after shifts? X'
Quickly I answered him.
'Okay. X'
When we got out of our meeting I ran some labs and filled out some paperwork in my office. My day was going by very slow and I did not have to do one single surgery anymore - I thought - when I got a page to trauma room 3.
It seemed to be urgent so I dropped everything I was doing and ran. It has always been difficult for me to run in a hospital. You can see it from two ways. One, you run and save the patient, no problems. Or two, you run, but accidentally run into another patient and that one gets hurt. I'm always scared to run, but I've never missed an opportunity to save someone. I've almost always been on time except when the patient had already died in the ambulance. That is actually worse. When you did not even get the chance to save the victim. Then you feel like you are completely useless because you were not able to try.
As I arrived in the trauma room, I quickly checked the pupil reaction which was okay. He needed to have a CT for sure and after that he had to have his other multiple surgeries.
I stepped outside him room as I asked his condition to Bailey.
'How did this happen?'
'He got thrown out of the car, through the windshield. He was not wearing his seatbelt.'
'Oh god. That's why he has so many glass cuts. I think that he is lucky because he is not dead yet.'
'Yes for sure. Now you wait for that CT and then do your work if it needs to be done.'
'Alright, thanks for the update, Bailey.'
'You're welcome.' She said as she walked toward her office.
I must say, Bailey has been a pretty good chief. Of course Owen had been the best one accordibg to me but still. She is a great woman that I look up to.
It was already late after I checked on my last patients. My shift was going to be over in 5 minutes. I ran to the lockerroom and took my dress that I had hanging in my locker. I was always prepared. I never know what I am going to do after work so I always have it in there, just in case. It was a black dress that can be worn with everything. I had tights that I quickly put on and heels. I looked at myself in the mirror as Maggie walked in.
'You look hot.'
I chuckled. 'Thanks I guess.'
'No, seriously. Owen should be happy to have you.'
I quickly kissed her on the cheek and went to his car. I walked out of the hospital and saw him standing next to his car.
'Hey babe.' He kissed me softly.
'Hi!'
'So, what did you want to do?' I asked as we were both in the car.' I have always been a curious person.
'Well, I have something planned for us because you know.. It's the 14th of february.. So cliché but I wanted to do something. You'll see.'
I knew he would plan out something for us. That is what he likes to do and it is adorable.
We drove up to and open field that was filled with a lot of people and parked the car. Somehow I recognised this but I did not know what it was exactly.
'So what is this again?' I asked.
'You like iceskating?' He smiled softly.
'OMG I knew it!' I squiled.
Owen got out of the car and took my hand as we walked to the place. It cost a few dollars to rent the shoes and gloves so we shared although he insisted on paying.
We sat down on a bench, and tied the laces.
'Have you ever done this?' I asked.
'Uh, not since highschool so this will be fun.' He laughed. I loved his smile, it was so genuine.
As I stood up, I almost fell over.
'Oh shoot.' I could hold myself onto the bench that I was sitting on earlier.
Owen got up, again took my hand as we walked to the skating-rink. He put one foot on the ice and tried to balance on it to take his second step. I took his hand and stepped onto the ice in one quick motion.
'Are you alright?' I asked curiously. A lot of people were ice-skating next to us.
'Uhh, alright I guess.' He chuckled. 'You seem to be more then alright?'
'Yeah, I am. Here, hold my hand.' I decided that I wanted to make this small confession.
'In 7th grade I did this as a sport, but it has been a while.'
He locked eyes with me. 'That's why you were not scared to step onto the ice.'
'True thing! Now hold my hand.' He did not seem to handle it very well so I dragged him forward.
'Just go very slow, you'll get used to it in no time.'
This had been one of the nicest and funniest moments that I had been trough with him. We laugh a lot and that is what makes me happy. Just these little things.
After that we ordered chinese food Owens place before we already got there. As we arrived the guy arrived too, just on time. We quickly payed and went inside.
In the car we had been laughing and kissing a little because there was tons of trafic jam.
He undid his coat, hung it up and said: 'I am not very hungry actually.'
'Yeah me too, I'd much rather do something else.' I kissed him on the cheek and took his hand.
'Whoo where is my lady taking me?' He said sarcastically.
'To the bedroom!' He laughed at my comment.
