I Choose You - A Grey's Anatomy Fiction

Chapter 50: The Day After

They had lunch around 1pm and during the rest of the afternoon Olivia played with the other kids while Amelia watched tv. Around 5, Amelia went to her bedroom and changed the sheets and tided up the place a little. Then she went to the girls' bedroom and cleaned it up a little too.

She never expected to be able to stay like that with Owen in her house for a long time since Olivia was scared and wanting her most of the time. She was surprised it actually happened.

The night went on great. Meredith and Maggie got home around 10 pm and Amelia was watching tv in the living room, all the kids were sleeping and Lynn had left right after Olivia's shot.
"Hi" Amelia said when the two women walked in.
"Oh my God, I am so tired" Maggie said basically falling on the couch.
"Hard day?" Amelia asked smiling.
"There was just so much today" Maggie said.
"What about your day Meredith?" Amelia asked.
"I just want my bed" Meredith answered walking to the kitchen. She got a glass of water and then went to throw her coat in the laundry basket in the laundry room.
She saw the sheets there and she just knew. She walked back to the living room.
"Amelia why are your sheets in the laundry room?" Meredith asked.
"I changed it" Amelia said.
"Did Owen stay the night?" Maggie asked surprised and excited.
"He might have" Amelia said embarrassed.
"Amelia! The kids were home" Meredith said concern.
"I know. We locked the door and they were asleep." Amelia said.
"Oh Lord" Meredith said heading to the stairs. Amelia and Maggie laughed.
"So... How was it?" Maggie asked.
"god no. Don't" Amelia said turning the tv off.
"Oh come on. Just tell Me" Maggie said walking after Amelia who was heading for the stairs too.
"Shush" Amelia laughed and ran upstairs.
Maggie went to the kitchen smiling.
Amelia stopped at the girls' bedroom and they were both fast asleep. Olivia had her blanket on her hand and she was hugging her big stitch, the little one was on the floor next to the bed. Amelia picked it up and placed next to the girl. She gave Olivia a kiss on the forehead and covered her up a bit more then went to her room.
She showered and went to bed.
She couldn't help but wish Owen was there. She felt good with him around. Even though she was scared to start a serious relationship, she felt like she wanted it.

Sunday was another good day. Amelia woke up around 8 the next day and went straight to Olivia's bed. She felt like she needed to hug her daughter. She laid next to the girl and suddenly Olivia's eyes opened.
"Hi sleeping beauty" Amelia told the girl smiling.
"Hi mommy" Olivia said sleepy.
"You can go back to sleep. I just wanted a hug" Amelia said and the girl cuddled her.
"I love you princess" Amelia said.
"I love you too mommy" Olivia said and closed her eyes again.

Amelia let the girl sleep till about 8:35 and then she woke her up and took her downstairs to have breakfast.
"How about pancakes today?" Amelia asked Olivia and Zola, who were sitting next to each other.
"Yeah" Zola said smiling and Olivia nodded yes still a bit sleep.
"Alright" Amelia said and got the pancake mix.
The girls ate and went to play while Amelia got Olivia's medicine.
"Oli. Come here" Amelia said and the girl walked to her using her crutches. Amelia couldn't help but smiled at her little girl struggling to walk with it but trying really hard. The kid was determined.
Amelia went to the living room and Olivia followed her.
Amelia sat the girl on her lap and gave her the shot on her leg. She just said Au and that was it.
"Can I go play now?" Olivia asked Amelia.
"Sure" Amelia smiled and kissed the girl's cheek. And there the petit kid went.
Amelia felt proud at how well Olivia was doing.

The day went on and around 3 Owen stopped by.
"Hi" Amelia said surprised opening the door for him.
"Hi." He said walking in.
"I stopped by the mall today and saw this and I just had to" he said signing the pink bag on his hand.
"For Olivia?" Amelia asked and he nodded yes.
"She's in the playroom" Amelia smiled and they walked there.
"Owen!" The girl said happily when she saw the man. Owen went to the table where Olivia was sitting with Zola and hugged her.
"I got you something" he told the child and handed the pink bag.
Olivia smiled and said "for me?" In disbelief. She wasn't used to getting presents.
"Yes" Owen said smiling.
The little girl opened the bag with a huge smile on her face.
"Thank you" she said when the saw the purple bunny that was inside. She took it out and hugged it.
"That's adorable" Amelia said smiling.
"It was just so her" Owen said.
"Thank you so much! I love it!" Olivia said and hugged him again.
"You're welcome princess" he said and kissed her head.
Owen stood up and said "I was thinking maybe we could go to the park and get some ice cream?"
"Yeah!" Olivia said excited. "Can we mommy?" She asked.
"Sure. Let me get you a jacket" Amelia said.
"Do you want to come with us Zo?" The woman asked Zola who nodded yes.
"Go get your shoes on then" she said and the girl ran.
Owen picked Olivia up and went to get the girl's boot.
"Thank you for my bunny" Olivia said hugging the purple bunny.
"What are you going to name it?" Owen asked the girl getting her boot from the floor and walking to the living room.
"I don't know. You choose" the little girl said smiling.
"Me? I don't know if I'm good with name Olie" Owen said placing her down on the couch.
"Can I name him Joey?" Olivia asked. "He looks like Joey" she said staring at the bunny.
"That's a good name" Owen said smiling and put her boot on.
"Come on. Let's go then" he said picking her up. "Are you going to take Joey?" He asked her.
"Yeah" she said smiling and hugged him.
He smiled with the hug. He just loved that little girl so much.

At the park they had a great time. Olivia didn't want to play around but she agreed on going on the swings with Amelia. Then they went to an ice cream shop and the girls absolutely loved it.
They headed back home and Olivia was out when they got there. The kid was just exhausted. Owen took her to bed and then sat in the living room with Amelia and Meredith.
"You guys knocked them out" Meredith said noticing Zola was asleep in the couch.
They laughed.
"She ran quite a bit" Amelia said smiling at her nice.
"And how was Olivia? Still not playing?" Meredith asked.
"She went on the swings today" Owen said.
"Yeah. But I couldn't leave, and she wanted me in front of her so she could see me" Amelia added.
"Have you ever thought about talking with her case worker? Maybe she knows she's me things that happened to Olie" Meredith said.
"I think that if she knew she would have taken Olie away from them" Amelia said.
"Yeah" Owen said.
There was a minute of silence and suddenly Owen said he had to go. It was almost 7pm. Amelia walked him to the door.
"Will I see you tomorrow at work?" Owen asked her.
"Yes" she said and they kissed.
"She'll be fine" Owen said when their lips parted.
Amelia nodded smiling at how he just knew she was worrying about it.
"I love you" he said and kissed her again.
"Bye" she said smiling and he left.
She knew the next day would be hard for her and for her daughter but she had to go back to work.
So she decided to talk to Olivia about it after dinner to try to explain a bit more what she did and to make sure the girl knew she would go back home.
