after college (a sequel to my high school lover)

chapter 70

AMELIAS POV
We had been at the hospital for hours, there was endless surgeries and injuries. I was at the daycare with the kids while Owen was working on a trauma.
"Mommy I tired," Lucas pouted.
"I know baby," I said, "me too."
"Can we go home?" He said.
"I wish," I said, "it's flooded out, it's not safe to go home."
"Why?" He said.
"Because there's a big storm, and we're safe in this hospital," I said.
"Oh," he said. I looked at the time and it was almost 9am.
"Why don't you take a nap?" I asked.
"I want my bed," he pouted.
"I do too," I said. I looked over at Ethan who was cuddled on a bean bag sleeping, and Zola who was in the bean bag next to him.
"Can we see Emma?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah buddy lets go," I said. I picked him up and walked into the nursery portion of the daycare and there was a nurse in there. She smiled as Lucas and I walked in.
"How has she been all day?" I asked.
"Oh she hasn't cried a lot, the only time she really cried was when Robbins was here with her, other than that it's been light crying I've been able to calm her down," The nurse said.
"Okay thank you so much," I said. I put Lucas down and lifted Emma out of the crib.
"Hi baby girl," I said and kissed her cheek, "did you miss mommy?"
"Hi emma," Lucas said.
"Emma wanna say hi to your brother?" I asked and bent down to Lucas' height. Lucas talked to her for a little bit which was adorable. Emma started to cry which I knew meant she was hungry. I walked into the other room to feed her and I came back out and Lucas was asleep next to Ethan. I chuckled and Emma started falling asleep on me too. I put Emma down in her crib and as I did my pager went off, it was going to be a long day.

It was now 9pm, it's been almost 24 hours here, and it's still flooded outside. We had to close the hospital because were full and we had to transfer incomings to Seattle Presbyterian. I was so tired and the kids were incredibly cranky, and I don't blame them. We had to spend the night at the hospital since we couldn't go home. I opened the door to an empty on call room and Owen and I figured we could all spend the night here.
"Mommy I want to go home!" Lucas said.
"I know so do I," I said.
"Then why don't we?" Lucas cried.
"Remember when we talking about the big bad storm?" I said.
"Yeah," he said.
"Well unfortunately the storm is still here, so it's unsafe for daddy to drive us home so we have to stay here," I said.
"Can I sleep with you?" He said, "I don't like storms."
"Yes," I said. I looked at Owen who smiled and I picked Lucas up and tucked him into bed. Owen did the same with Ethan and we left Emma in the nursery since there is a nurse and baby monitor in there. Owen opened the door and Lucas sat up.
"Where are you going?" Lucas said.
"Just down the hall," I said, "mommy and daddy aren't tired yet, we'll be in here soon."
"Okay," Lucas said.
"Good night we love you," I said. Owen closed the door and I looked at him.
"You look tired," he said.
"Yeah," I said, "this was a lot for today."
"Yeah," he said.
"Also the whole elevator shit drained me," I said.
"I can imagine," he said. We found an empty gurney not too far from the oncall room and Owen sat down. I laid my head in his lap and looked up at him.
"I love you," I said.
"I love you too," He said.
"I wanna go home," I said.
"Me too," He said.
"I miss our bed," I said. He chuckled and smiled.
"Me too," He said.
"Is it still raining?" I asked.
"Not sure, probably," he shrugged.
"It probably is," I said.
"Hey you so I have a question," he said.
"Yeah?" I said.
"What do you want to do for your birthday it's in a few weeks," he said.
"I don't know," I said.
"Well I think I have to take you on a date to officially bring you into the 30 club," he chuckled cutely.
"Ooh 30 don't remind me," I chuckled, "but yeah I'd like that." I still had my head in his lap and he smiled and I sat up and kissed him softly.
"Yup the big 3 O," Owen said.
"Shut up don't remind me," I chuckled.
"Oh am i making you feel old?" He joked.
"Yeah," I giggled.
"Well too bad," he said, "it's time for you to join the 30 club."
"Hey I have a month," I said.
"Yes you do," He chuckled. I felt my phone buzz and I looked at Owen.
"Probably Emma," I said and looked at my phone and it was the nurse in the daycare.
"I can go see her if you wanna check on the boys," Owen offered.
"Yeah thanks," I said. I opened the on call room door and both Ethan and Lucas were passed out. I picked up Ethan and laid him down next to Lucas so Owen and I could sleep together. I laid down and went on my phone until I heard the door open.
"Hey," I whispered.
"Hey," He said, "she was just a little fussy but she went back to bed."
"Okay," I said. He crawled into bed with me and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek.
"I love you," He said.
"I love you too," I said. I closed my eyes and Owen did the same.
-
I woke up and the room was pitch dark, which meant the power went out because we dimmed the lights. I reached over Owen to grab my phone and he mumbled something.
"Sorry," I said. I felt him put his hand on my waist and pulled me back into bed. I looked at the time and it was 4am. Owen nuzzled into my back.
"Did the power go out?" He said softly.
"I think so," I said. I looked over and noticed the kids bed was a little messy. I looked over and only saw Lucas.
"Owen," I said panicking.
"What?" He said.
"Where's Ethan?" I said. He sat up and looked over.
"Fuck," he said.
"Where is he?" I said and pulled the blanket up off the bed.
"Ok calm down," Owen said. I could feel tears streaming down my face and then I heard the door open. I turned and it was Ethan and Meredith.
"Hey He was up in the hall he had to pee," Meredith said.
"Oh thank god," I said and hugged her tightly.
"Of course," she said. I bent down to Ethan and hugged him tightly.
"Mommy are you sad?" He sad confused.
"No," I chuckled and whipped my tears.
"I sorry I had to pee pee," he said. I laughed and hugged him again.
"It's okay baby," I said. I tucked him back in bed and I looked at Owen and he hugged me tightly.
"It's okay," Owen said, "he's fine."
"I know," I sniffled. He kissed me softly and I wrapped my arms around his waist.
"Come on let's get some sleep," he said softly.
