Buzz. Buzz.

"Ugh," Owen groaned as he rolled off of his fiancé in the On-Call room. They'd luckily just finished round two when Owen's alarm went off.

Buzz. Buzz.

A long muscular arm seeped out of the covers and smashed the alarm away. Owen pecked Amelia's lips once more before getting off of the small cot and pulling on his brief boxers and scrub pants. "So, is all forgiven?" he asked, pulling on his undershirt. Amelia shrugged, lying naked and breathless under the sheets.

"Most. I forgive you for the Teddy thing. I don't forgive you for that tongue thing you did. That was...yeah," she giggled. Owen smiled and pulled on his scrub top and nodded.

"Okay," he chuckled, "is there anything I should know before I go?" Owen baited. Amelia shrugged and shook her head.

"Nope," she smirked, lying back with her hands over her head. Owen stared at the silhouette of his fiancé draped in the cotton sheets. The light from the outside world fluttered into the room and cascaded itself around Amelia's small frame. When Amelia started to turn on her side, for a split second Owen saw her small bump peek through. To anyone unaware, it looks like Amelia drank a lot of water. But, to Owen, an Amelia savant, her skin was glowing, she was a little bit sleepier in the mornings, and of course being a guy, he had noticed that her boobs were a little bit bigger than before. He just couldn't put his finger on why. However, now that he knew why, he felt like her "baby bump" was radiating through the sheets. "What?" Amelia asked, with a giggle. Owen shook his head and finished getting dressed.

"Nothing. Nothing. I'll see you later. I love you," Owen smiled, pecking Amelia's lips.

"I love you, too. Have a good surgery," Amelia smiled, lying back down and watching Owen leave. She didn't have anything to do for another fifteen minutes and sleep was calling her name. But, so was Teddy. Amelia grabbed her cell phone and turned off the notifications. "What does she want?" Amelia muttered. Quickly, she got up and dressed to go find her temporary boss.

1:06 PM

Teddy sat at her desk reading emails. She didn't spend much time in the O.R., now that she was interim chief, leaving time for really anything. Like fishing...for cases...for her ex and his fiancé. And she found the first one for Amelia. After a few short moments of waiting, Amelia stumbled into the room.

"Sorry, tripped," she said, shutting the door behind her and standing in front of the wooden desk. "What's up?" she asked. Teddy scratched her head nervously and shrugged.

"Well, I know that you don't necessarily need me to help you get patients, but I saw a case coming to Seattle Pres that I figured you might want a crack at first," Teddy smiled, handing Amelia the scans. In the light, Amelia could see that the tumor stretched from the olfactory nerve to the prefrontal cortex. Amelia gave her superior a puppy dog face attached to a small smile.

"Awe, Teddy, you got me an olfactory groove meningioma? You're sweet," Amelia grinned, admiring the tumor in her hands.

"It's kind of an 'I'm sorry you're in the middle of all of this' present," Teddy smiled, confident that she and Amelia would be just fine.

"Are you trying to buy an apology acceptance?" Amelia asked, pretending to be upset. Teddy's smile dropped as she shook her head. Amelia watched Teddy's brain frantically look for an excuse, causing her to giggle. "I'm kidding. It's working. Thanks," Amelia said. Teddy exhaled quickly, placing the smile back on her face as she looked back at her laptop. While printing out some paperwork and the patient's medical records, a huge thud caused Teddy to look up from her desk. She quickly stood up to see Amelia sitting on the floor clutching her lower abdomen. "Dr. Shepherd?" Teddy called. Amelia took a deep breath but didn't respond, forcing Teddy to move around the desk in front of her. "Amelia?" Teddy called once more. Amelia bit her lip as she tried to catch her breath, but nothing was working. The pain was intensifying and she could barely keep up. "Where does it hurt?" Teddy asked.
