strangers in love

chapter 41

6 months later

AMELIAS POV
Owen and I have been dating for almost 10 months. The kids are really close with him now which is extremely cute. Today was also the last day of school so the kids were excited. Owen also sorta moved in. And by sorta he has some stuff here and some stuff at his house. It hasn't been an official move in but it's more than spending the night. I'm not sure the kids would be ready for him to officially move in. It's also been 6 months and I haven't told Izzy any more about her dad. I really can't do it. I was brushing my hair and Owen was in the shower, and the kids were getting ready for their last day of school. My babies were growing up. Emma would now be an 8th grader, Joey a 3rd grader, and Izzy now in 1st grade.
"Amelia," Owen called from the shower.
"What?" I said.
"I forgot a towel," he chuckled.
"Well that's unfortunate," I chuckled and grabbed him one. I handed him the towel and he pecked my lips as he came out from the shower. I smiled and ran my fingers through his wet messy hair.
"When do you go in?" I asked.
"8," He said, "you?"
"Yeah 8," I said.
"So last day of school," he said.
"They're growing up too fast," I frowned, "they have to stay little forever."
"Yeah," he said. I noticed Owen staring at me in the mirror and I turned around.
"What?" I chuckled.
"You're cute," he said. I smiled and kissed him. -
The kids just left for school and Owen and I were leaving for work. We put our bags in the back and got in my car. I turned some music on and Owen kissed my head.
"I'm so glad it's almost summer I miss the beach," I chuckled.
"Me too," Owen said.
"You definitely don't like the beach," I chuckled.
"Yeah well I like you so," Owen said.
"So that means you're getting dragged to the beach," I chuckled.
"Fun," he chuckled. We were sitting at a red light and Owen reached over and grabbed my hand. The light turned green and I started going and the second I did a truck hit the side of my car. It happened so quick that I don't even know what happened. I was driving and a truck ran the light and hit my side and I was holding Owen's hand and I don't know what happened. My car got pushed into on coming traffic and I think Owen's side got hit. When everything stopped I was so scared to look over next to me because I needed to know Owen was okay.
"Owen?" I said. I suddenly got a massive headache and I didn't hear if I got a response from him. I did feel someone get me out of the car but it wasn't Owen.
OWENS POV
"It was green, the light, and she went and then the truck came out of no where and hit her side and then pushed us into traffic and I know she said my name and I answered but I didn't get an answer back and someone got her out of the car but I think she blacked out," I said crying to Meredith. Amelia was in surgery right now, I think her head was bleeding or something I have no idea what happened but I know Bailey, Alex, and Arizona were all in there.
"Okay calm down ok?" Meredith said and hugged me.
"What if she's not okay?" I said.
"Owen I promise you that I will get in there before she dies," she said, "nobody is going to let her die Okay?"
"Okay" I said.
"Derek went to go get the kids okay so why don't you stay here and I'll get an update on Amelia," she offered.
"Okay," I said. I had a bandage wrap on my arm because of the glass windows that shattered, and I had a mild concussion, but Amelia really got hurt. I wanted to go with Meredith, but I knew I couldn't handle seeing her on the operating table.
MEREDITHS POV
I ran up to the OR viewing area even though I wasn't supposed to, but I had to tell Owen what was going on. I got up there and sat down. Alex and Arizona were yelling at each other as Amelia was beginning to crash. My heart was about to sink and I was going to run down there. They got her stable again and I could breathe again. I ran back out before they could see me and I knew I had to lie to Owen. I walked down the hallway and I saw him sitting in the waiting room. He saw me and got up.
"Is she okay?" He asked.
"She's still in surgery, but she was stable," I lied.
"Okay," he said, "thank you."
"Of course," I said.
EMMAS POV
I was at lunch sitting next to Carly. It was the last day of school and I was so excited for summer. The principle walked into the cafeteria which was weird because she usually never does but I didn't think much of it. I turned to Carly and started talking about how we should go to the beach and have sleepovers. I felt someone tap my shoulder and it was my principle.
"Are you Emma Shepherd?" She asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"Your Uncle is in the office for early dismissal," she said, and then I knew something was wrong. I looked at Carly and she knew something was up too.
"I'll text you later," I said and got up and followed the principle down the hallway. I saw Uncle Derek in the office and he had already gotten Joey and Izzy. I walked in and I could tell by his face something happened. Something bad. He signed me out and we were walking to his car and I looked up at him.
"Did someone die?" I asked.
"No," he said.
"What happened to my mom? Is she okay? Where's Owen?" I asked.
"They were in a car accident," he said.
"Is she okay?" I asked.
"She's in surgery," he said.
"And Owen?" I asked.
"He's alright," he said.
"Is she going to die?" I asked.
"No," He said, "she is not going to die."
