You're Not Alone

44: Back Home

AMELIAS POV
We pulled into Meredith's driveway and I smiled. Our honeymoon was beyond amazing, but I missed my daughter so much. I grabbed Owens arm and knocked on the door, where Maggie and Kamryn answered the door.
"Mama! Daddy!" Kamryn giggled as I picked her up.
"Hi princess," I smiled as she hugged me tightly, "did you miss us?"
"Yes," she said and then reached to hug Owen.
"We're you extra good for your Aunties?" I asked and looked at Maggie.
"Of course she was," Maggie said.
"Zola and I got to have a sleepover all week!" Kamryn smiled.
"That's awesome, so you have fun here?" I asked. She nodded as she nuzzled into Owen. I smiled at them and followed Maggie into the kitchen.
"Hey I thought I heard you two home," Meredith said as she hugged me, "how was the honeymoon?"
"Amazing," I smiled.
"That's awesome," Meredith said.
"So Meredith and I were having a debate," Maggie said.
"Oh yes, and you get to weigh in," Meredith said.
"Oh good," I said.
"Maggie doesn't believe me that married sex is better," Meredith said.
"What's the difference?" Maggie laughed.
"Girl I don't know what the difference is but there's a difference," I laughed, "a pretty good difference."
"Told you," Meredith laughed.
"Married sex is excellent," I laughed, "especially multiple times a day."
"Okay well you're off your honeymoon now and back to reality," Meredith laughed.
"Shut up," I said.
"Fine I was wrong," Maggie said.
"Okay well you're next to get married so let's go," I said.
"I don't need anyone right now," Maggie said.
"Why not," I said.
"I don't know," Maggie said.
"She refuses to join a dating site," Meredith said.
"Girl put yourself out there!" I said.
"Thank you," Meredith laughed.
OWENS POV
We got back to the apartment after spending most of the morning at Mer's. Right now Amelia and Kamryn were watching cartoons and I was making popcorn in the kitchen. I came back to the living room and Kamryn was curled in Amelia's lap. They were so cute. I sat down next to Amelia and she put her head on my shoulder.
"Mama are you sleepy?" Kamryn said.
"Yeah mama's a little sleepy," Amelia chuckled. I kissed her head and put my arm around them. Kamryn nuzzled into Amelia and I smiled. I love my girls so much.

Both Amelia and Kamryn fell asleep during the movie. They were so cute. I started cooking dinner for when they woke up. After about 10 minutes Amelia walked into the kitchen and I smiled.
"Good morning," I joked.
"Mhm," she smiled and wrapped her arms around my waist. She was so cute, and so sleepy.
"Did you get some good sleep in?" I chuckled.
"Yeah," she said softly, "the jet lag isn't helping."
"I'm sorry," I said and kissed her head.
"How are you not affected?" She chuckled.
"Not everyone needs a minimum of 10 hours of sleep Amelia," I said.
"Right," she chuckled, "what are you making?"
"Pasta," I said.
"I'm glad you're a good cook," she chuckled, "because I'm not."
"I think we all know that," I chuckled and kissed her forehead.
"Yeah," Amelia said.
"Is she still asleep?" I asked.
"Yeah," Amelia said.
AMELIAS POV
"Mama!" Kamryn called from her room. I was folding laundry with Owen when I walked down the hallway.
"What's up?" I said as I opened the door.
"Can you do arts and crafts with me?" She asked sweetly.
"Sure," I smiled.
"Yay!" She giggled. I sat down next to her and she ran and got her arts and crafts bin.
"So what's are we making today?" I asked, she loved doing crafts.
"We're making paper turtles," she said, "see, Mrs.Williams gave us this craft but I wanted to wait to do it with you."
"Okay," I smiled and kissed her head.
"Can you open it?" She asked.
"Yeah let me see it," I said.
"Where's daddy?" She said.
"He's in the other room," I chuckled, "you can go get him."
"Okay," she said and ran down the hallway. I was so grateful that she adored Owen and they got along so well. She came back with him and Owen sat down next to me.
"We're having arts and crafts time with Kamryn," I said.
"Ooh sounds like fun," Owen said.
"I need scissors," Kamryn said.
"Don't you have a pair in your bin?" I chuckled.
"You said I'm not allowed to have scissors in my room," she said.
"Yeah but don't you have a pair in there anyway," I chuckled.
"Maybe," she giggled.
"Kammie," I laughed.
"It's the safety ones!" She said, "see!"
"Okay I guess it's okay," I chuckled and looked at Owen. Each of us cut out a paper turtle and colored them and then we let Kamryn put googly eyes on them.
"Can we use glitter?" Kamryn said.
"Not on this floor," I chuckled, "we can do it over the sink okay?"
"Okay," she said and ran into the kitchen.
"Are you anti glitter?" Owen jones.
"I am anti glitter on my nice hardwood floors," I laughed. He chuckled and we walked into the kitchen. Owen lifted Kamryn up so she could hold the paper over the sink and I sprinkled glitter over the paper. We finished the glitter and she put the sparkly turtles on the counter.
"Can we hang them on the fridge?" Kamryn asked Owen.
"You have to wait for them to dry or the glitter will fall off," Owen said.
"Oh," Kamryn said, "okay, when will it dry."
"If you go take a bath before bed I'm sure it'll be dry after," I said.
"Okay!" She said.
"I'll meet you in the bathroom," I said. She nodded and ran down the hallway. I looked at Owen and smiled.
"My turtle is cuter than yours," I teased.
"Is not," he pouted.
"Is too," I said and leaned up and kissed him.
"I love you," He said.
"I love you too," I smiled, "and our family, I love our little family Owen."
"Me too," he said, "I love my girls so much."
