Prompt : In the season 13 finale I've heard that there might be a fire, could someone write something where Amelia rescues Owen and she like gets really worried? Hurt/comfort/fluff?

Code Red

Amelia smiled to herself when she received the page from Owen to the ER. Although it meant that she had another case to review in the ER right after scrubbing out from an emergency craniotomy and blood clot evacuation and she didn't mind if this enabled her to see her husband again.

Only a couple of hours had passed since she last saw him in the ER, when she was reviewing the patient who required the emergency surgery. But it was a busy couple of hours which seemed to drag on and she wished to see him again. Today was one of the rare days whereby both of them were on call and just being able to see Owen always made her calls better.

It was hard to believe that just a few months ago, after the negative pregnancy test, she freaked out at the prospect of being pregnant again and ran away from him, leaving him an ambiguous note which just told him that it was not his fault. She ended up staying at Stephanie's, then at Meredith's. She just couldn't bear to face Owen and his hope of starting a family with her. She felt like she couldn't breathe and that the possibility of her being pregnant with another anencephalic baby was too much for her to bear.

Her biggest regret was yelling at Owen's face that she didn't want a baby and telling him that she would love to know how suffocated Cristina felt by him. She didn't know then how much her words hurt him, like piercing a dagger through his heart.

They were both hurt and confused. Owen couldn't understand why Amelia suddenly changed her mind about having babies when she was totally on board the idea just a couple of weeks prior to that. Amelia meanwhile just couldn't bring herself to tell Owen the whole story about her unicorn baby and how it made her so afraid to have another baby. It was a total communication breakdown on both of their parts.

It took several rounds of yelling and screaming at each other in the ER, in front of all the other doctors and nurses and earning glares from them, before Amelia finally mustered the courage to drag Owen into an empty ER room one day. With the tense atmosphere building up in the room, and both of them pacing up and down nervously, Amelia finally blurted out about her unicorn baby. When Owen stopped pacing and listened to her, she mustered the courage to tell him the whole story about her unicorn baby- about her entire pregnancy with him, the moment she found out about the fact that he had anencephaly, her decision to continue with the pregnancy, and how they took him away from her when he developed respiratory distress shortly after his birth to donate his organs. Owen developed a newfound respect for her then, and held her in his arms as she sobbed in relief at being able to lift a huge burden off her chest. He had reassured her that no- he wasn't going to leave her just because of that- and that he would be there for her, no matter what happened, every step of the way. That was all she needed to hear. She was finally rest assured that Owen would be by her side no matter what.

Their journey back to each other was slow though. Although they stopped yelling at each other after the conversation, Amelia only moved back to their place after another couple of weeks. The reason was she needed to be there for a devastated Maggie who had just lost her mother to inflammatory breast cancer shortly before that.

It took another couple of days for them both to be comfortable being in the same room together again. But one night almost two months ago, they looked into each others eyes and realized how they missed each other, and rediscovered each other's bodies. It was pure lovemaking and magical. After that, as they lay side by side cuddled next to each other in postcoital bliss- they both bared their hearts and souls to each other and promised each other never to keep any secrets between them any longer.

Now Amelia stopped at the ER door to admire her husband in action. She had to admit, her hot husband always looked even hotter with his intense and focused expression in the ER. His eyebrows furrowing in concentration as he studied a patient's chart was already enough to turn her on. She could already imagine the joyful look on his face once she broke the good news to him at home after the shift. It would be the best gift she could ever give him.

' Neuro is here.'

Owen looked up upon hearing the familiar voice of his wife. Even though he heard her voice daily- he could never get enough of it.

' Hey.' The couple exchanged a smile, just so glad to be able to see each other. Owen was having a busy shift so far- with an influx of car accidents entering the ER.

'What's that disgusting thing you're holding?' Owen wrinkled his nose as he looked at the green juice Amelia was holding. Usually she would be holding a cup of coffee in her hands, so this was unusual of her. ' So now you choose this over coffee?'

Errmm….nope, no coffee, I'm sorry. It's not good for your unborn child.

For a moment, Amelia thought of telling Owen her secret, but she decided to wait until their shift was over.

' Well, it's a healthier option.' Amelia winked at him. ' I want to stay healthy, don't you?'

' Well if you say so.' Owen chuckled. 'Patient is in ER4. Mr. Jenkins. Post MVA, his GCS score is only 8, I'm suspecting a brain bleed somewhere due to his unequal pupils. I've already intubated and ventilated him.

Half an hour later, they both emerged from the CT scan room.

' Well he does indeed have a subdural haemorrhage.' Amelia reported. ' I have to scrub in to perform a craniotomy and evacuate the blood clot.'

' Ok- go and save a life. Do what you do best.' Owen said as he gave Amelia a quick affectionate kiss on the cheek.

He then returned to the ER as she made her way to the elevator.

Owen continued staring at Amelia's retreating figure from the ER nurses counter as she strode towards the elevator. He could never get enough of his beautiful, amazing wife. He was so glad that they both managed to have a heart to heart talk to sort our their issues, and they came out of their earlier troubles stronger than ever.

' I wish Jackson would look at me like that.'

Owen turned around to see April standing beside him at the nurses counter. April wasn't supposed to be on call that night, but she decided to help out when she heard that the ER was swamped with patients. It was due to April's help that they managed to clear the majority of the patients up to the wards.

Owen blushed as he tried to think of a reply.

' How do you know that he doesn't?' he finally asked.

' I don't know, actually.' April admitted.

' Maybe he does, behind your back.' Owen suggested.

' But the way you look at her….' said April as she rested her chin on her hands and continued looking at Amelia. ' I'm so glad that you two are back together again. It was painful seeing you both fight in front of me and all the other ER staff.'

' I'm glad that you and Jackson are back together too.' Owen said earnestly as April smiled in reply.

Just then, the power supply went off and the backup generators were switched on.

' Damn it!' Owen muttered as he and April exchanged worried glances. Mr Jenkins was still in ER4, intubated and ventilated.

Owen's Head of Trauma Surgery mode took over.

' Ok, everyone listen up.' Owen announced as the entire ER staff gathered around him.

' I need a couple of you to call up Seattle Presybeterian and inform them that we're sending patients over and to arrange transport for the patients to the hospital.

' Everyone else- prepare the patients for transfer.' he instructed in his authoritative voice. ' Does the blackout involve the entire building?' he asked.

' I don't know, Dr. Hunt, but there also seems to be a blackout at the lobby.' answered one of the interns.

A couple of nurses rushed out from ER4, breathless.

' Dr Hunt, Dr. Kepner, there is a fire in ER4!' One of the nurses cried out. ' I think its a short circuit, we need to get out of here as soon as possible before it reaches the oxygen tank and explodes!'

' Mr Jenkins is still in there!' cried April as she, Owen and a couple of residents rushed towards the room.

' Someone make a Code Red alert and someone call the fire bridgade!' cried Owen.

The flames were spreading along the wires located at the side of the room and they both knew they had to act fast before the fire reached the patient and the oxygen tank.

Owen quickly unplugged the oxygen supply as April reached for an ambubag and began bagging the patient. The residents began pushing the patient trolley as fast as they could to the ER exit leading to the hospital compound, with April running beside the trolley, still bagging and Owen following a short distance behind them.

The other patients fortunately have already been pushed out of the exit to the ambulance area and were awaiting transfer.

Just as the group exited the ER, a loud explosion was heard from inside and the entire ER was engulfed in flames.

Owen felt himself being thrown on the ground as his entire world went blank.

' You paged, Dr. Shepherd?' Stephanie asked, as she approached Amelia at the corridors of the Neurosurgical floor.

' Yes, I need you to book an OR and prep a patient for another emergency craniotomy and blood clot evacuation.' said Amelia. ' Mr Jenkins, he's still in the ER now, but he'll be transferred to Room 415.'

' Another craniotomy? Why can't it be something a little more interesting like a tumour removal?' Stephanie asked, pouting.

' Not today, Edwards.' Amelia warned.

The neurosurgeon noticed that her mentee had become less lively and more sullen lately. The usually cheerful, high spirited and motivated resident was now being replaced by a whiny and unmotivated resident. She didn't know exactly what caused the change in Stephanie, but she suspected it had to do with the fact that they had lost so many patients recently, and Stephanie tended to blame herself for the loss of each and every patient. Amelia suspected that it might have been taking its toll on her.

' Fine.' Stephanie muttered as she stormed off to prepare the patient for surgery. Amelia shook her head as she watched her resident's retreating figure.

Just then, an announcement blared through the hospital intercom.

' Attention! Code Red. Code Red. This is an emergency. All patients and medical personnel are required to evacuate the hospital premises immediately.'

Chaos ensued right after as all the nurses and doctors rushed to evacuate their patients from their rooms.

' Dr Shepherd, what are we gonna do with our more critical patients?' one of the nurses asked her.

' Arrange for transfer to Seattle Presyberian for all our critical patients, post op patients and those awaiting emergency surgery. ' she replied. ' I'll discharge all the stable patients and those awaiting elective surgery.'

As Amelia rushed through discharging her patients, her mind kept on wandering to her husband in the ER. She wondered whether he was ok. She hoped and prayed that the fire did not originate from the ER.

In just a matter of minutes, Amelia found herself running down the emergency stairs with staff members and patients.

She had no idea where Edwards was. She didn't know if all her patients, especially those still in critical condition could be safely evacuated.

But most important of all, she needed to know that her husband was safe and sound.

She reached the ground floor in record time and was greeted by the thick smell of smoke. The entire ground floor was engulfed in thick smoke and the entire ER had been reduced to a rubble.

She felt her entire world spinning and her heart sinking.

No, no, this can't been happening.

' Owen!' she cried out. 'Owen! Where are you!'

There was no reply, only silence greeted her.

She rushed to the hospital exit to find almost the entire hospital staff gathered at the hospital grounds. Some firefighters were already at the scene- working extra hard to put out the fire.

' Owen!' she cried out, looking for any signs of his distinctive ginger hair.

But he was no where to be found. She couldn't spot a single familiar face among the huge crowd gathered at the hospital compounds.

She sank on the ground in tears, defeated.

Owen had to be alive, he needed to hear the wonderful news that he was going to be a father.

Any comments, reviews, and messages are very much appreciated! I love hearing from you guys :)
