strangers in love

chapter 42

OWENS POV
Derek came back with the kids and Emma was sitting next to me.
"Have you seen her?" She asked.
"No," I said.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"That's good," she said.
"Yeah," I said.
"Will she be okay?" She asked.
"They have the best surgeons in there right now, she'll be okay," I said, hoping it was true.
"How long has she been in surgery?" She asked.
"2 hours and 17 minutes," I said.
"Oh," she said.
"Yeah," I said.
"What if she's not okay?" She said.
"She's going to be okay," I said.
"But what if she's not?" She said crying, "I can't live without her, I'm all alone if I lose my mom."
"You're not alone I promise," I said and hugged her.

Amelia has been in surgery for 6 hours now. Emma was asleep with her head on my shoulder and Meredith offered to take Joey and Izzy home. She kept giving me updates but they were all just the same, I knew she couldn't tell me if something was really wrong. I saw Bailey walking out of the OR and I couldn't tell what that meant.
"Emma," I whispered.
"What?" She said sleepily.
"Wake up," I chuckled. She sat up and looked at me.
"Is she okay?" She asked.
"I don't know," I said, "but Bailey just came out of the OR." I saw Alex come out of the OR and walk over to us. I got up with Emma and I could feel my heart beating quicker.
"Is my mom okay?" Emma asked.
"Yes," Alex said, "she should be waking up soon, she has a pretty bad concussion, and she had a lot of internal bleeding, she'll be very sore, but she's okay."
"Thank you," I said and hugged him.
"Of course," he said. I hugged Emma and we got in the elevator to go see Amelia. It was late so we weren't going to go get Izzy and Joey. We walked down the hallway and we got to Amelias room and she was still asleep. It broke my heart to see her in a hospital bed, she had a few cuts on her face and bandaging from the surgery. I turned to Emma and I knew this was hard on her too.
"You Okay?" I asked.
"Yeah I have to go to the bathroom I'll be right back," she said.
"Okay," I said. I watched her walk down the hallway and she was just like her mother, hiding her feelings.
EMMAS POV
I walked down the hallway and I ran into Callie.
"Hey," I said.
"Hey how're you doing?" She asked.
"I'm okay," I said, "I'm glad my mom and Owen are okay."
"Yeah," she said. I kept walking to the bathroom and I closed the door and started crying. I realized today how lucky I was to have my mom. If she died today I'd be all alone with Joey and Izzy, and that scared me. I love her so much and today was so scary. I wiped my eyes and walked out of the bathroom and saw Owen sitting in my moms room. She wasn't awake yet.
OWENS POV
Amelia started waking up and I smiled. Her eyes opened and Emma smiled.
"Hey," I said, I was so happy she was alive.
"Who are you?" She said, and my heart sunk.
"I'm just kidding I love you Owen," she chuckled.
"Oh my god," I said with a sigh of relief and I grabbed her hand. I kissed her head and started crying tears of joy.
"Mom," Emma said.
"Come here my sweet girl," Amelia said.
"His name is Mike, and he's 14, I sit next to him in Math and he has brown hair and brown eyes," Emma chuckled.
"So it takes me almost dying for you to tell me," Amelia chuckled.
"Yeah," she said, "but don't do it again."
"Wasn't planning on it," Amelia chuckled. Amelia tried to sit up and I could tell she was in so much pain.
"Ow," Amelia said.
"Alex said you're going to be very sore," I said.
"Yeah I can see that," Amelia chuckled. Emma came over and hugged Amelia. Amelia kissed her head and I could see the tears in her eyes.
"I love you," Amelia said.
"I love you too," Emma said. I smiled at them and Amelia grabbed my hand. I leaned over and kissed her head.
AMELIAS POV
I was so thankful to be alive right now. It was really late so after I talked to Emma for a bit she agreed to go home with Derek and get some sleep. I was extremely fucking sore and could barely move. Owen was so cute. Ever since he came in he's been by my side. I was holding his hand and smiling at him.
"I'm so lucky to be alive," I said.
"Yeah," he said.
"That must have been scary," I said, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay you're here now," he said and kissed my hand.
"I'm so sore," I said.
"I'm sure," he said.
"I have to pee," I chuckled.
"So how is that gonna work," he chuckled.
"Help me up," I said. He grabbed both of my hand and lightly helped me sit up.
"Oh my god this hurts so bad," I said. I sat at the edge of the bed and I had both of his hands in mine and I looked up at him.
"I'm lucky to be alive," I said.
"I know," he said, and I knew he was trying not to cry. He helped me up and he hugged me lightly since I was so incredibly sore. I looked up and kissed him softly and smiled.
"I love you so much," I said.
"And I love you more," he said.
