Amelia tucked her son, Ryan, into bed Friday night. "when am I gonna see daddy?" said the six year old. "tomorrow evening honey. he had to work late tonight and is sceduled to work early tomorrow morning. go to sleep Hun, you need your sleep. I love you." the red headed boy smiled and said "I love you too." Amelia kissed her son and turned off the lights. she walks into her daughters room where she finds 10 year old Isabelle reading a book. "Lights out baby girl. time for bed." "But mom I'm just getting to the good part." she argued. "You stayed up until 10:30 last night. you know the rules. if you stay up an hour one night, the next night you go to bed an hour early. Go to sleep sunshine." "Okay mom. I love you. but before you go...can I feel the babies kick?" "They're not moving right now but let me see if I can get them up." Said Amelia. "it's okay if you can't mom. goodnight. sleep tight." Amelia kissed Isabelle on the cheek and turned off the lights. As she walked down the stairs she felt her babies kick. she didn't know if it was the boy or the girl, but suspected it was the boy because it's always him. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed her phone. 4 missed calls from Owen. she immediately called him as she suspected somethings as wrong. As soon as he answered her call she asked what was wrong. he told her nothing, but he was going to be home around two am and got someone to take his shift Saturday morning. "Oh. I thought something was wrong. do you want me to stay up until you get home. I miss you" Amelia said. "No sweetheart you can go to sleep. I'll wake you when I get home to say hi. I love you so much and I'm never gonna stop, go get some rest. Sleep tight baby." Her husband replied. She hung up the phone after saying she loves him back and went into the bathroom. she brushed her teeth and got into bed. She fell asleep quickly as she was up the whole night the day before because the twins in her womb would not stop moving. Amelia woke up the next morning at 6am. she looked next to her, only to find that her husband was not there. She did not remember being woken up during the night so she thought he just fell asleep at the hospital. she grabbed her phone and looked at her texts. there was a text from Owen. "hey babe. I know I said I would be home, but a trauma came in and I got caught up. I'll be home in the morning. I might go on a run before I come because I need to release some stress. love you tons, call me when you wake up." She called him but there was no answer. she assumed he was in surgery. She got up and changed into her workout clothes. she wanted to go on a walk before the kids woke up. She checked on the kids before she left. Everything was fine and the kids were still asleep. Ryan would be up in about three hours and Isabelle in four. She grabbed her phone and walked out the door, locking it behind her. As she walked down the street she noticed how it was unusually cold for a May morning. She started thinking about how it was cold on the day Her brother died. She started getting thoughts, bad ones. she picked up her pace and decided she was going to take a different route than she usually does. she took a turn and walked into the woods. she knew there was a trail down there, so it's not like she was just walking through the woods. She finally found the trail and started to walk down it. One of the babies started to kick so she stopped walking and sat down on the ground. As she looked around, she saw a deer with its two kids. "that's gonna be me in a few weeks" she thought to herself. Got back up and started walking again. All of the sudden, she got a bad feeling. like soemthing was gonna happen. She started jogging as she thought something might have happened to her kids. she wasn't paying attention to where she was going, she just kept jogging along the trail. Suddenly, she stumbled on something. she thought it was a rock but turned around just to make sure. It wasn't a rock. it was a hand. she looked to the left of the hand and followed it up the arm and to the neck. She couldn't believe it. Her husbands face was laying there in the dirt with bugs crawling among it. she screamed and grabbed her phone to call 911. She started doing compressions as the 911 operater picked up the phone. "911 where is your emergency?" "My husband. He. He's been attacked. please send help" she said sobbing. "Excuse me? can you speak up? Ma'am? are you there?" MY HUSBAND WAS ATTACKED SEND HELP" "Okay ma'am I need you to calm down. what is your name?" "Doctor Amelia Shepherd. I'm a neuro surgeon at Grey sloan memorial. My husband is Doctor Owen hunt. A trauma surgeon at the same hospital" "Okay Amelia help is on the way have you started compressions?" Amelia could hear sirens in the background. She was not going to lose her husband. she is not going to lose every man she has ever loved. "Ma'am can you hear me?" said the operator. "Yes I'm sorry what" she replied. "Have you started compressions?" "oh yes of course"
"alright paramedics are almost there" "yes I can hear them." The babies were kicking like crazy. she was not going to let these twins grow up without a father. she was not going to have them grow up like Meredith and Derek's kid did. She was not going to be a widow. she was not going to let Owen die. Before she knew it the paramedics were right next to her. She let them take over and watched them take him to the ambulance. a police officer drove her home so she could grab Isabelle and Ryan and drop them off at Arizonas house so she could watch them. She didn't tell her kids why they were going to Aunt Arizonas. She dropped them off and drove straight the hospital.
