Amelia is now 7 months pregnant

OWENS POV
I in a long surgery when Kepner burst in. I looked up confused and she scrubbed in quickly.
"You need to go find Meredith and Amelia," she said, "now."
"Why? What happened?" I said, scared that something happened to them and the baby.
"Owen I don't know Amelia came out of a surgery crying I don't know what happened go find her," she said and I ran out of the OR. I ran down the hall and found Meredith and Amelia in an empty room. Amelia was crying when I came in.
"Honey what's wrong are you okay?" I asked. Meredith left us to let us be alone.
"I don't feel good," she said crying, "and I didn't feel good in the OR and my back and legs hurt and it sucks because I just want to work but I feel so sick." Amelia and I have argued if she should be working or not at 7 months pregnant and I think now is when she is giving into me and staying home.
"Okay," I said, "it's okay." I sat down next to her and brought her into my arms.
"I'm gonna puke," She said and ran into the bathroom and started throwing up. I came in behind her and rubbed her back and kissed her shoulder.
"It's okay," I said, "take a break from work Amelia you know you have to."
"I know but I don't want to," she said crying.
"I know you don't but I think it's a good idea," I said comforting her.
"I know," she said. I helped her up and I hugged her. She still looked really upset and she still had tears in her eyes.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked.
"Yeah," She sniffled and I handed her a box of tissues.
"I'm just upset I can't work," she said, "it makes me feel useless."
"Amelia you are not useless," I said, "so what you can't work? You are carrying our baby boy, that's not useless Amelia."
"Yeah," she smiled, thinking about our baby. I smiled and put my hand on her stomach. I felt a little kick and I looked up at Amelia.
"Did you feel that?" She smiled.
"Yeah," I smiled.
"That's him," she smiled.
"That's him," I said.
EMMAS POV
My mom and Owen were at work and I was home watching my siblings. Lately Mike and I have gone on a few dates and I guess were considered boyfriend and girlfriend now I don't really know. My mom and Owen came through the front door which was weird because they weren't supposed to be home for a while.
"Is everything okay?" I asked.
"Yeah I just don't feel good," my mom complained. Lately she's felt really sick with the pregnancy. Mike invited me over and I wanted to go but now didn't seem like a convenient time to ask. Owen brought my mom upstairs and when he came back downstairs I figured I'd ask Owen.
"Hey Owen?" I said.
"Yeah?" He said.
"Do you think you can convince my mom to let me go to mikes?" I asked.
"What'd he do that this needs convincing aren't you two a thing," he chuckled.
"Well I don't know I've never gone to a boys house," I chuckled.
"Well if he invited you over it seems like you two are a thing," he said.
"Do you think my mom will say yes?" I asked.
"Probably," he said. I ran upstairs and knocked on my moms door.
"Come in," She said. I opened the door and she was on her computer.
"Hey what's up?" She said.
"Can I go over to mike's?" I asked.
"Is one of his parents home?" She asked.
"Yeah his mom," I said.
"When? Now?" She asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"Okay, Yeah, If Owen can drive you over then it's a yes. But please behave and if anything goes wrong or if you want to go home just text me or Owen," She said.
"Will do thank you!" I smiled. I ran back downstairs and Owen was watching tv with Izzy.
"So is it a yes?" He asked.
"Can you drive me there?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said.
"Okay thank you give me like five minutes," I said.
"Okay take your time," he said. I ran upstairs and brushed my hair and put mascara on and came back downstairs.
"Ready?" Owen asked.
"Yeah," I smiled. He grabbed his keys and we walked out to his car.
"Hey so I'm sure your mom already said this but, if anything happens call me, I'll come get you, no questions asked and we don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, but I want you to know that you can call me," He said. I smiled.
"Thank you," I said.
"And have a good time," he chuckled.
"Thanks," I chuckled. We pulled into Mikes driveway and I thanked Owen. Mike opened the door and I smiled.
"Hey," He smiled.
"Hey," I said and walked inside.
