A few busy weeks at the hospital had passed so Owen and I did not spent a lot of time together. When we actually were together, we were having dinner or sleeping. I didn't mind that though, I adore every moment I spend with that man.
'Dr. Shepherd?' I heard a voice call out. It was Owen.
'Yes?'
'I need you for a consult, a patient of mine arrived here with a severe head trauma. I have treated him before in the army but I'd like you to check on him.'
'Alright, let's go.'
As we were walking I was thinking about how he did not call me by my first name. Actually he never does when there are other doctors in the room, although they all know that we are a couple. I've had a few serious relationships before and also a few flings back when I drank but this with Owen is so real. Obviously because we want kids but it feels way different. I have never loved someone this much.
'This is the patient.' Owen said and opened the curtain.
'Alright, let me take a look.' I checked his reflexes and pupils, after that I took a look at his fracture.
I closed the curtain and said: 'Yeah he needs surgery right away. Can you get me an OR whilst I go scrub?'
'Of course.' He smiled and walked away.
I paged Stephanie to come scrub in aswell. Not that I really needed her help but she likes to learn and I like to teach her.
The surgery went pretty well and after that it was already time to lunch. I got to the cafeteria and ordered the usual thing. Owen was already sitting at a table with a few other friends of ours; Alex, Meredith and Arizona. I really hope Meredith did not tell the others that Owen and I were going to try. I guess she's a good secret keeper, I trust her.
'Hey Amelia.' Owen said and made place on the table for my food. He pecked me on the lips. I smiled.
'Anyways, what were you guys talking about?' I asked.
'Uhm, nothing special. How was your day?' Arizona said happily.
'Had a few routine surgeries and you? You seems cheerful.' I said.
'Yeah, a few babies have been born today with no complications. I'm a happy peds surgeon, although I like surgery of course.'
'Ah I see. Yeah kids are the best.' Meredith said and looked at me. I looked back at her with a look that said - don't do it -.
After a while when we all ate our lunches, I said that I had to talk to Meredith about a case, which was not true obviously but I needed to talk to her about me and Owen.
'Mer, I hope..'
'Amelia, common did you really think that I was going to tell the others about you and Owen trying?' She said convincing me.
'Maybe? Kind of.'
She touched my shoulder.
'Okay, I'd never do that. Your secret is safe with me.' She smiled. 'Now I really have to go.'
She dissapeared in the hallway amongst the other surgeons and nurses as I started to believe that Meredith really meant what she said. In the past we did not really get along too well but now everything, or almost everything is alright. God, I miss Derek. I wish I could tell him about how amazing Owen has been to me. About how we desire to have children soon. Yeah he should've been here. I got saved by my pager, I had to leave for the ER. Everyone seemed to go in that direction so I guess there must have been a major accident. When I arrived Bailey spoke to us.
'Alright I think most of you are wondering what's going on right now. So, we need all of you here because there was a major trafic jam accident and we do not know how everyone's injured. We have to be prepared for everything.  The ambulances can come in any minute now. There are mostly burns.' She looked at Jackson. 'But as I said, we'll see. Clear your schedule and OR's because we'll need all of them. This will take a while so sleep when you can.' We heard the first ambulance arrived. 
The guy spoke to Bailey. 'Male, 42, heartrate is low, mostly major burns.'
Jackson took the patient as we waited for more. Over the timespan of 20 minutes there had been arriving 15 patients, we had a hard time because we had to work very fast to clear the beds in the ER but also to clear the OR's.
I had a patient that had a fracture in his skull and a minor brain bleed. He got lucky because I got to take care of him well. It took a while but he will most likely have all his brain functions back in a week or so. His memory might be damaged though, but normally he would have only forgotten the accident and a few hours before.

Life's not always bright and shiney though. I also lost a patient today. They said that he was almost braindead, already in the ambulance but sadly his heart stopped on my table.
'Time of death, 16:37.'
Dammit.
It has always been hard for me to lose a patient but now I had to get on to the next one who was already waiting for me in the ER. That is how my day went on. A few people that I could save and one more death.
Owen's day did not seem to have been much better. I talked to him for a minute when we both were in an oncallroom to rest. He had treated a lot of burnpatients together with Avery and also some of them did not make it. We did not talk about our 'kids thing' though. That is the good thing between me and him, we are able to seperate work and relationships. Hmm, okay I have to be honest. Sometimes when our day is not that busy we do other things than talk in the oncallrooms. In the hospitalrules it says that you can only use those rooms to sleep in, but to be honest, everyone sleeps with people in there. Some even sleep with interns. *Cough* Maggie for instance. Not that I mind though, they can all do whatever they want.
