OWENS POV
The alarm clock went off and I sat up. It was the first morning in a while that we weren't waken up by Caroline's crying.
"Good morning," I smiled and kissed Amelia's cheek, "today's the big day."
"Good morning," she smiled, "we're attendings today!"
"We are," I smiled, "I'm so proud of us."
"Me too!" Amelia smiled, "let's go see if Caroline is up." We both got up and walked into the nursery and she was sitting up in her crib.
"Good morning," I smiled and picked her up.
"Good morning our little princess," Amelia smiled and kissed her cheek, "guess what mommy and daddy are doing today? We're going to be attendings! Isn't that exciting?"
"It is," I smiled and kissed Amelia's cheek, "let's go eat some breakfast." The three of us walked downstairs and Amelia put Caroline in her highchair. I made some breakfast and eventually we got headed to the hospital. Today we were becoming attendings and I was so excited. We've been working for this for what seems like forever. We'll finally be in charge of people. We'll be trusted. We can schedule our own surgeries. Do solo surgeries whenever we want, and without someone overlooking. It was so exciting.

"Okay fellows let's go!" Bailey said as we all gathered in the attendings lounge.
"Congratulations on all of the time, devotion, and work you have put into many cases at this hospital, and many others," she smiled, "today you guys will be moving up the ranks. Today you will all become attendings. You will get to take the reigns in your specialty. Do. Not. Mess. It. Up. Doctor Webber has navy scrubs in all your sizes. Congratulations!" I smiled at Amelia as Richard passed out the scrubs. It was an amazing feeling.
"Congratulations," Amelia smiled at me as we came back from changing. She looked so hot in navy scrubs.
"Congratulations to you too," I said, "you also look amazing in navy."
"So do you," She smiled. My pager went off and I kissed her forehead.
"Have a good day," I said.
"You too," she giggled as we both ran off on our separate ways.
AMELIAS POV
We were attendings! Oh my gosh this was so exciting. Finally we're at the top.
"Look who it is!" Derek smiled as he walked down the hallway towards me, "one of the big dogs now."
"Yup," I chuckled as he hugged me.
"I'm proud of you," he said.
"Thank you Derek," I smiled.
"Dads proud of you too," he said.
"Thanks," I smiled.
"Sheps!" Tom said, "look at this attending status!" I chuckled as he gave me a high five. My pager went off and I smiled. First case as an attending. I ran down the stairs and to the ER. I walked over to April who paged me.
"Hey what's up?" I asked.
"I just need a neuro consult real quick," she asked.
"Okay no problem," I said.
"Hi I'm Doctor Shepherd," I said, "can you follow my finger for me?" The patient nodded and I moved my finger back and forth, but their eyes struggled to follow.
"I'm just going to use this flashlight to check your pupils really quick," I said and used the flashlight. The pupils were unresponsive.
"We need a head CT," I turned to April, "pupils are unresponsive, might be a bleed."
"Okay let's go up then," April said. We pushed the patient up to CT and we were sitting there waiting for a scan. I was finally a lead surgeon. I'm finally allowed to make medical decisions for my patients by myself. It felt so good to finally be at the top of my game after working so hard.

OWENS POV
Our shifts were over and and I texted Amelia.
"Where are you?" I sent.
"Attending lounge," she sent.
"Meet me in on call room 5," I sent.
"Okay," she sent with a smiley face. I took the elevator upstairs and I saw her. She ran over to me and smiled.
"So what do you need?" She laughed as I opened the on call room door. I locked the door behind me and she smirked. I grabbed her waist and pinned her against the wall as I started kissing her.
"You look so hot in scrubs," I whispered as I started kissing her neck.
"So are you," she giggled as she untied my scrub pants. I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist as I put her down on the bed.

Amelia was lying on my chest and I smiled. She ran her fingers through my hair and kissed my cheek.
"I love you," she smiled.
"I love you too," I said.
"Let's go get our daughter," she said, "and we can go home together."
"What do you want for dinner tonight?" I asked as she sat up and threw her shirt back on.
"I don't know," she said, "whatever you want."
"Pasta?" I said.
"Works for me," she said.
"So how was your first day as an attending?" I asked.
"Amazing," she said, "it's so freeing to actually do stuff on your own without supervision."
"I know right," I said, "it's awesome."
"Mhm," she said and we both got dressed. We walked down to the daycare and saw Caroline asleep in the little nursery with Bailey a few beds down. They were so cute. I opened the nursery door and Zola ran over to us.
"Uncle Owen! Auntie Amy," Zola giggled and ran into Amelia's arms.
"Hi ZoZo," Amelia smiled, "how was your day?"
"It was good," Zola said, "how was your day?"
"It was good," Amelia said. We walked into the daycare nursery and saw Caroline. Amelia walked over and picked her up, and I grabbed Caroline's bag. I signed her out with the nurse. Caroline started waking up and Amelia smiled.
"Good morning," Amelia chuckled softly, "did you have a good nap baby?" I smiled as the three of us walked out of the hospital together. I love them so much.
