You're Not Alone

18: Dinner Parties

AMELIAS POV
Owen and I decided we could meet at Meredith's house so that we didn't ride together and confused Kamryn. She adores Owen, she absolutely does, and I don't know if I should just tell her. I'm not worried she'll be mad, I'm worried if Owen and I break up it'll be hard on her and it'll crush her. If Owen becomes more involved in her life and then is suddenly gone the absence is going to hurt her, and the last thing I want to do is put her through more than she's already endured.
"Mama when are we going to Zola's?" Kamryn asked cutely.
"In a few minutes, Mama needs a few minutes to get dressed," I said, "are you ready?"
"I just need help tying my shoes again," she said.
"Okay, I'll help you in a minute okay?" I said. She nodded and I walked into my room. I looked at all my clothes and sighed, I didn't know what to wear. Was a dress too dressy? Was jeans too causal? I looked in my mirror and thought of Owen, and how great he is, and how much I like him. I decided on jeans and a dressy top for a nice in between.
"Okay cutie pie where are your shoes?" I asked as I came out of my room.
"I'm in here!" She giggled. I opened her bedroom door and she was playing with her dolls.
"You ready?" I asked. She looked up and her face lit up.
"What?" I said.
"You look so pretty," she said cutely, which melted my heart.
"Thanks," I said.
"Is it for Owen?" She giggled and I could feel myself blush.
"Maybe," I chuckled and grabbed her shoes from her closet.
"I want to try!" She said and sat down next to me and tried tying her shoe. She was getting it down but she wasn't tying it tight enough.
"You just have to tie it tighter baby," I said and kissed her head.
"I can't get it," she frowned sadly.
"Oh it's okay, you're getting it! You just need some practice I promise," I said and tied both of her shoes.
"Thank you mama," she said sweetly.
"You're welcome," I said, "are you ready?"
"I just need my doll," she said and ran back to her room. I grabbed my car keys and my phone and she came back out.
"We ready now?" I chuckled.
"Yes," she giggled. We walked down the hallway and waited for the elevator.
"Are you excited to see your cousins?" I asked.
"Yes," she smiled, "I like them."
"That's good," I said.
"You know who likes you?" She said.
"What?" I chuckled.
"Owen," she giggled as we walked into the elevator.
"Owen is just mama's friend okay?" I chuckled.
"Okay," she giggled. We walked to the parking lot and I unlocked my car. I picked her up and buckled her into her car seat. I kissed her cheek and I started driving over to Mer's. We got there and I unbuckled Kamryn and she ran to the door where Zola was waiting for her. They were so cute.
"Mama can we go play?" Kamryn begged.
"Once you take your shoes off," I chuckled.
"Okay!" She smiled and they ran upstairs.
"Hey," I heard. I turned around and saw Owen. God he looked good.
"Hey," I said.
"You look good," he said as he got closer.
"So do you," I said, feeling nervous around him.
"She's upstairs," he said.
"What?" I said, and I knew what he meant when he kissed me. When we pulled away from the kiss I smiled and we walked into the kitchen.
"Amelia!" Maggie smiled and hugged me.
"Hi," I chuckled and hugged her back.
OWENS POV
Amelia was so pretty. We were in the kitchen with Meredith, Maggie, Jackson, April, Alex, Jo, Arizona, and Callie. Amelia was helping Maggie with something and she was adorable. Kamryn was upstairs with her cousins and Harriet and Sophia.
"Dude are you and Shepherd together yet?" Alex said as he walked up next to me.
"Oh uh yeah I mean, it's not really official but," I said.
"So you're doing it?" He said. I chuckled.
"I mean yeah," I laughed.
"Well she's crazy for you," he chuckled.
"I'm crazy for her," I said. I saw Amelia come over and she wrapped her arms around my waist.
"Hi," she said.
"Hi," I said. She leaned up and pecked my lips and went back to helping Maggie. God I was so in love with her.
AMELIAS POV
"So are you two done sneaking around?" Maggie asked.
"Uh I don't know," I said, "I mean Kamryn is upstairs."
"Are you going to tell her?" Maggie asked.
"I don't know, I mean we aren't official," I said.
"Well she likes him doesn't she?" Maggie said.
"She does, she always tries to get me to admit I like him too," I chuckled.
"I think she'll be okay with it," Maggie said.
"You think?" I said.
"I think so," Maggie nodded.

The kids were still upstairs while dinner was in the oven and everyone was just hanging out in Mer's living room and kitchen. I was talking to Owen at the counter and he was so cute.
"So I have something to ask you," he said.
"Okay," I said.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He smiled.
"Yes," I smiled. He smiled and kissed my forehead and then pecked my lips.
"I don't know if I should tell Kamryn," I chuckled.
"If you don't I understand," he said.
"She really likes you," I chuckled, "maybe I should."
"Okay," he said.
"Kids time for dinner!" I heard Meredith call.
"Come on," I said and pulled his arm into the living room.
"Mama!" Kamryn smiled and ran into my arms.
"Hi babygirl," I smiled and kissed her head, "are you having fun?"
"Yeah!" She smiled.
"That's good," I smiled.
"Hi Owen," she said and gave him a little wave.
"Hi," Owen smiled.
"Okay why don't you go sit at the kids table right next to Zola and Sophia okay?" I said.
"Okay," she said and got down and ran over to them, she was adorable.
"She is too cute," Callie smiled as she sat on the other side of me.
"I'm so glad she likes it here," I said.
"And she's had no pain right?" Callie confirmed.
"Yeah she hasn't mentioned any pain at all," I said.
"That's great," Callie smiled.

Everyone was getting ready to leave and I had to go get Kamryn from Zola's room.
"Hey," I heard and felt someone put their hand on my arm. I turned and it was Owen.
"Hey," I said.
"I'm gonna head out," he said.
"Me too," I said.
"Good night," he said.
"Good night," I said and he pecked my lips. I watched him walk out and then I got Kamryn.
"Okay Kammie it's time to go," I said
"Mama I wanna stay here with Zola," she frowned.
"You will see Zola at daycare tomorrow okay?" I said.
"Okay," she said, "bye Zola."
"Bye Kamryn," Zola said. We walked downstairs and said goodbye to everyone and then started driving home. I kept looking back at her in her car seat in my mirror, and kinda hoped she didn't fall asleep so I could tell her about Owen.
