"Amelia...", Owen quietly tried to get the brunette's attention, standing in front of her. It was like she was staring through him, so he carefully pulled her frozen figure into his arms. "I'm so sorry!", he whispered, finally aware of how heartbreaking her son's death was for her.

"I have never been so rude to anyone. Why does everyone hate me?", Amelia asked and started sobbing, while she slowly hugged her ex-husband back.

"Nobody hates you!", Teddy promised, gently stroking her friend's back. "What Link just did was horrible and he had no right to talk to you like that."

"Maybe I deserved it.", the neurosurgeon shrugged, hiding her face in Owen's chest for comfort.

"You didn't, Amelia! Please don't ever believe that!", he begged. "He thought it was his baby, so he has the right to be sad, yes. But nothing can justify his decision to tell everyone about Christopher."

"You remember his name...", Amelia noticed, touched. She was still hiding from the whole universe in Owen's arms. Teddy looked at the two of them and realized that her friend was already with the only person who could help her right now.

"I'll be inside if you need me. To beat him up, you know?", she explained, even able to get the brunette to chuckle a little bit.

"Thank you Teddy, for everything.", Amelia said, looking at the blonde, who nodded with a smile on her face and left. "I told him about Christopher to clear up why I was thinking about not keeping the baby at the beginning.", she informed her ex-husband. "He was always so kind to me and basically everyone else that I have never guessed he could be so hurtful. I get that what I did wasn't right, but this...most of the people at the table didn't even know I was already a mom. I can't ever go back inside."

"I am here with you, alright? And I will not leave your side. We are a family, remember?", Owen replied and broke the hug a little to stare at her baby bump. "I can't believe we are having a baby!", he shared, tearing up, which caused his ex-wife to finally smile again.

"Me neither.", she agreed. Her next move took the redhead by surprise, she grabbed his cheeks and pulled his head down to touch his forehead with hers. Then, Amelia carefully grasped one of his hands and put in onto her baby belly, so he could touch it through the sweater.

"I want to be with you!", Owen told the neurosurgeon hopefully. "I know you are still with him and I will not pressure you into breaking up, but I just want you to know, that I still love you."

"We don't work, Owen.", the brunette sadly reminded him, as she enjoyed him caressing her belly. "We never did and we never will."

"We can make us work! There is nothing standing in our way, babe.", the trauma surgeon tried desperately, shocking both of them with the nickname that had disappeared a while ago.

"Tonight is not the right time to discuss this.", Amelia let her ex-husband know. Inside, Atticus hadn't moved a muscle ever since he said those words and watched the ex-couple through the window.

"Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!", Maggie meanwhile kept insulting him, only for Meredith to try to calm her down.

"Maggie, stop it and behave like an adult!", the blonde ordered in annoyance.

"No, this is exactly what he is!", her sister pouted in anger.

"Maggie!", Jo interfered. "He is my best friend and definitely not a bad person. What he did was wrong, extremely horrible, but let us not forget the good things Link made Amelia feel!", she argued. "Say something and defend yourself!", she suggested.

"There is nothing I can say to make them like me again.", he shrugged, kind of disappointed in himself. "I just want to talk to Amelia. It's between her and me."

"No, you don't get to-", Tom started.

"It's okay Tom, thank you!", his ex-student interrupted him and smiled at the other neurosurgeon, who had been nothing but a support to her for the whole evening. "Whatever you want to say, say it front of them all by looking into my eyes, just like you did earlier when you decided you had the right to tell everyone about my dead son."

"Amelia...", Owen wanted to stop her, knowing she would end up even more heartbroken.

"Please give me this chance, Owen.", Atticus pleaded, knowing he had lost his girlfriend to her ex and at least wanting to make things right.

"You should probably hold her hand anyway.", Carina recommended to the redhead, somehow pleased with the ex-couple making its way back to each other.

"You don't have to.", Link cleared his throat in jealousy, so the trauma surgeon decided to grant him respect for once and just remained standing behind his ex-wife.

"Are you going to apologize now, or?", Maggie pestered the ortho surgeon, still really angry with him for hurting her sister like that.

"I am sorry for what I did to you, Amelia.", Atticus sincerely excused his mistake. "I had, like you said, no right to expose your past just like that. It is such a sensitive topic to you, I know that, but in my anger and frustration I forgot. I was hoping to raise our little peanut with you and when the baby turned out to be Owen's, my heart broke. I couldn't think anymore. I can't think right now, having seen the two of you so close outside and knowing you will choose him, now that he confessed his true feelings to you. The future I expected us to have was just ripped from me. So please, at least accept my apology. You know I am not a monster."

"I do. Of course, I do, Link!", the brunette finally smiled at him. "And I am so sorry for hurting you like that, but I really didn't know. I don't want to keep you on the edge, so I will simply confirm your assumption. You are a great guy, seriously! Any woman would be happy to be with you, because you are kind, funny, supportive, amazing and many more things. But I am not any woman. And there is just one man for me in this life. The one, I am meant to be with. And you are not him. I wish you would comment on this with telling me that you cheated or anything to not end up in so much pain, but I can't give you this kid. It does have a father that wants it and-"

"Amelia, it's fine. I was lying the whole time.", Link sighed, getting his phone from the table and scrolling through the gallery to find pictures. "I am already a dad. Just like you are a mom. These are my ex-fiance's and my twins, Collyn and Aaron.", he admitted, showing Amelia, and therefore also Owen, some photos. "I thought whenever you are at the hospital or visiting Leo, I would simply go see them."

"Oh God!", Andrew whined, having heard too much drama in one night.

"What?", Jo wondered, while her husband sighed.

"Ha!", Tom yelled and clapped his hands. "Told you Shepherd, nobody is that perfect!", he winked.

"And nobody is as annoying as you, Dr. Koracick.", Teddy teased her ex-boyfriend with a smug smirk on her face.

"Are we okay then?", Amelia wanted to know, feeling awkward asking this question.

"Well, I believe so, yes. If you and Owen could wait with your first kiss until I left? That would be great.", he honestly replied. "Because no matter what you think now, I am truly in love with you. And I know that you didn't lie either by saying you love me, but I never had a chance against the man you claim to be meant to be with."

"Is that a drama you all are preparing for?", Alex wondered, shaking his head and gulping down some more wine.

"Shut up, Karev!", Owen warned, chuckling. Meredith switched places once again, so Amelia could sit next to him.

Alright, so we almost reached the end. Some of you kinda guessed Link's secret but nobody really one hundred percent knew what was gonna happen. I have finally taken care of another couple I do not want together lol. The next chapter will probably be the end of the dinner party, if not, then the one after.

My question is, do you want me to write a little more so we can have more Omelia moments, because I'd be up to it (suprise lmao), but I only wanna do it if you guys are interested.

Ps: Imagine me writing slow burn Omelia, that was freaking hard and they still aren't officially together, ugh.

Anyway, hope you liked this! :D
