Hey guys, so sorry for the delay in getting this chapter up- real life got in the way yet again.

But now, here is the latest chapter - enjoy and do let me know what you think! ;)

Amnesia part 6

She slowly cupped Owen's face as his heart pounded with excitement. She traced the outline of his rough facial contours and his beard. Her hands slowly traced his muscular arms and the outlines of his muscular chest.

His arms traveled down to her waist as he pulled her close to him. Slowly, their lips touched. Her lips tasted of cherry blossom due to the lip balm she had applied. It was a slow, sweet kiss, similar to their very first kiss outside his trailer after she appeared with sparkling water. For Owen, it was feeling the tenderness of Amelia's lips and savoring her kiss again after so long. For Amelia, it was about rediscovering the magic of kissing Owen Hunt for the very first time.

2 weeks later

It was Amelia's first day back at work after a whole month of staying at home with the nanny and taking care of Charlotte. She loved Charlotte with all her heart and cherished the quality bonding time she had with her daughter, but she had to admit she was starting to feel bored being stuck at home alone with the nanny and Charlotte. She was beginning to feel restless at home the last couple of weeks as she regained her strength. She started helping the nanny with household chores when Charlotte was sleeping, even though the nanny politely told her that there was no need to do so. Her excuse was that she was bored and needed something to keep herself occupied. In the evenings after baby Charlotte was bathed and fed and tucked into bed, she would FaceTime Addison and Jake, and her friend Charlotte to catch up with them.

Her progress during the therapy sessions was so good that Dr Raj had cleared her to return to work, with therapy sessions just once every fortnight. More and more memories of her pregnancy were gradually returning to her.

Now that she was back at work, she was experiencing a mixture of emotions. Part of her was glad to be back in the groove of work. She really missed reviewing patients in the ER, and rounding up on pre and post operative patients. She missed the thrill of operating on open brains in the ER.

But at the same time, she couldn't bear the thought of being separated from Charlotte, although it was just for a few hours. She and Owen decided to send Charlotte to the hospital daycare for the day, as Elizabeth had just called in sick that morning and they were unable to find a replacement nanny in such a short notice. Furthermore, they could drop by to check on their daughter in between breaks at work. For the past month, she had been spending all the time with her baby and it tore at her heart to leave her in daycare. Charlotte was going to be one of the youngest kids in the daycare.

Amelia walked into the ER with Charlotte in tow. Charlotte was wearing a pink onsie with a flowery bib.

She could enter through the hospital lobby but she wanted to let Charlotte see her father for a while in the ER before she was sent to the daycare.

'Amelia! 'a chipper voice called out. 'You're back! '

Amelia turned around to see April walking over to her with a cheerful smile on her face.

April's big smile was contagious as she found herself smiling back.

April enveloped Amelia and Charlotte in a big hug.

' We've missed you. ' she said earnestly. 'Owen always updates me regarding your progress at home, but I miss being able to page you down for a consult. Nelson is good, but he just can't replace you.'

'Thanks. I'm glad to be back too.' Amelia said earnestly.

' Where is Owen?' she asked, when she saw no sign of her husband in the ER.

' He's in the OR operating on a polytrauma patient. He just scrubbed in so he would be stuck there for quite some time.' April answered.

'Oh ok, just tell him that I'm taking Charlotte up to the daycare and he can drop by to check on her anytime during the day. I myself will be checking on her during my lunch break. ' Amelia said as she rocked Charlotte in her arms.

Charlotte had opened her eyes and was starting to fuss as she stared at April with her big blue eyes.

'Hey there little one, ' April smiled at Charlotte as she spoke to the baby in a voice she only reserved for babies. 'Wow look at how much you've grown since I last saw you! 'she added as she gently stroked the baby's head.

' I'm gonna send her up to the daycare.' Amelia announced. ' It's only for today, but it's her first day there, and I'm rather reluctant to leave her.'

'Oh- I know the feeling! I was a bit apprehensive of sending Harriet to the daycare initially and didn't want to let go of her during the first day. But after a while both of you will get used to it. Harriet loves it there now! ' said April enthusiastically. 'The caretakers there are awesome. Millie, who runs the daycare is so experienced and is such a kind and caring person. She makes you feel at ease leaving your child with her.'

'Thanks, you saying that makes me feel much better about leaving her in the daycare.' Amelia smiled.

' Yay, look who is back at work!' Arizona greeted as she approached the duo.

She hugged Amelia before turning to April.

' April- I'm admitting Patty Jenkins, the 31 year old primi in bed 3 for observation.' she informed. 'I've asked one of the nurses to book a room for her.'

'Thanks.' April nodded.

' So- first day back at work huh? Exciting! 'Arizona said flashing Amelia a wide smile.

' Yeah- I'm excited to be back at work. Excited to be back in the gist of things. I miss being in the ER.' Amelia said smiling. 'But I'll miss Char too.' she added as she gave Charlotte an affectionate peck on the head.

' Awww…..she's so adorable.' Arizona gushed. 'Can I hold her? I just washed my hands.'

'Of course. 'Amelia answered as Charlotte was transferred to Arizona's arms.

' Oops…there's an incoming trauma.' April sighed as her pager beeped. ' I've gotta get going. 'Bye guys! ' she said as she ran towards the ER entrance door, leaving Arizona and Amelia standing at the nurses counter with Charlotte.

' I can't believe she's already 2 months old.' Arizona pointed out as she stared down at Charlotte in her arms. It seems like only yesterday she was born. I still remember seeing her in utero. She was such a thumb sucker! '

Amelia forced a smile in reply.

Arizona's face fell as she suddenly remembered that Amelia could not recall her pregnancy and the antenatal sessions.

' I'm sorry.' she apologized.

' Don't be sorry.' Amelia said reassuringly. ' My memories are gradually returning back to me. Thank you so much, Arizona, for taking care of me throughout this entire pregnancy and saving mine and Charlotte's lives.'

' It's my job, and you're my friend. Of course I have to do all I can to save both of your lives.' Arizona said earnestly.

' Right Charlotte?' she asked the baby as she rocked the baby in her arms.

Charlotte was now fast asleep in Arizona's arms, oblivious to her surroundings.

' When you both found out that she was a girl- it was so beautiful.' Arizona recalled grinning. ' When I mentioned that it was a girl while performing that 5 month scan, you were both over the moon. It was such a heartwarming sight to see.' she added.

At Arizona's words- a flashback occurred in Amelia's mind.

[ flashback]

Amelia had just finished assessing 2 children for head injuries after a drunk driver drove into the car driven by their mother. She and Owen were updating each other on the condition of the mother and the 2 children as they were walking down the hospital corridor towards the antenatal clinic where Amelia was scheduled for her 5 month antenatal appointment.

' You know, when I look at them I picture our future children' Amelia said suddenly. ' With blue eyes and dark hair like me'.

Owen chuckled. 'I wouldn't mind that at all, our children looking like you.' he said as she blushed.

' I wouldn't mind our children looking like you too.' she replied as they held hands and continued walking down the corridors of the antenatal floor.

'So do you have any preference?' Owen asked. ' A boy or a girl?'

' Hmm…..I don't know. ' Amelia replied shrugging . ' I don't really mind either way. You?'

' I really don't mind either.' Owen said earnestly.

' Zola just told me this morning she really wanted a girl cousin though' Amelia recalled. ' I told her she already has a sister, but wanted more girls to do girly stuff with.'

' And Bailey told me earlier this week he wanted a boy cousin.' Owen said.

' Did he?' Amelia had an amused tone in her voice.

'Yes, when we were playing on the swings at the neighborhood park.' Owen chuckled in reply.

Do you want to find out the gender of our baby?' Amelia asked as she stopped and touched his arm to catch his attention.

' Do you?' Owen asked as their eyes met.

' I don't know, I mean - I want it to be a pleasant surprise, but on the other hand, we need to buy gender specific stuff for the baby, and we need to know what color to paint the nursery in.' Amelia replied, running a hand over her hair to straighten it.

' We can buy gender neutral colors.' Owen pointed out. ' Besides, why do we have to conform to gender specific colors? I mean, girls can wear blue and sleep in a blue nursery.'

' Yes, but there isn't much gender neutral clothing choice. You can only buy so much of green onesies. Furthermore, do you want your son to wear a pink onesie if he's a boy?' Amelia retorted.

' Why not?' Owen shrugged. ' I don't see what's so wrong with that. It's the 21st century. I don't get why people are so rigid about dress codes for babies.'

' Alright- I agree with you. It doesn't matter, but I still want to find out. I want to start referring Bean as 'he' or 'she' instead of just simply 'Bean.' Amelia pointed out.

Owen grinned. ' Yes, that's true… Let's find out the gender of our baby then.'

He grabbed her hand again and they entered the antenatal unit, their hands linked together.

A few minutes later, they were in the antenatal room with Arizona.

' Please tell me that the baby still has ten fingers and ten toes and a head'. Amelia said nervously, staring at the ceiling as Arizona manipulated the wand around her swollen belly. Even though the detailed scan performed the month before revealed the baby to be perfectly healthy with no abnormalities, there was still this nagging feeling in the back of her mind that something might go wrong. She had expressed her anxiety about it one night to Owen, and he comforted her by saying that their baby was going to be fine, and he was going to be with her and support her throughout the entire duration of her pregnancy.

Arizona let out a small chuckle as she manipulated the ultrasound probe.. 'Yes, I can tell you that your baby has all members of their body still intact, and that the heartbeat seems strong. Also, the baby is moving around a lot.'

Amelia heaved a sigh of relief at Arizona's words as she dared herself to look at the ultrasound screen. She smiled as her heart warmed at the sight of her baby sucking it's thumb.

' Do you want to know the sex of the baby?' Arizona asked as she moved the probe further.

Both Amelia and Owen nodded their heads in unison.

' Ok then, now for the exciting part.' Arizona announced as she zoomed in between the baby's legs. She took a bit longer than usual, looking like she was trying to search for something which she couldn't seem to find.

Both Amelia and Owen were starting to get anxious.

' Is there anything wrong with my baby?' Amelia asked, grabbing hold of Arizona's arm.' Please tell us if something is wrong, don't hide it from us.'

Arizona shook her hand vigorously, suddenly being reminded of the time April and Jackson found out that their baby Samuel had Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

' Nope, everything seems to be fine' Arizona smiled reassuringly at them. ' It's just that I'm certain this baby is a girl… I can't see any boy parts.'

' A girl' Amelia whispered to herself in awe. A girl, a little girl who was a mixture of her and Owen. They were going to have a daughter, and she wondered whether their daughter would look more like her or Owen. Their little girl would grow up loving barbies , dance and princess parties, or prefer soccer and toy trucks. She would love her unconditionally no matter how she turned out to be. Part of her was relieved their baby was not a boy, because looking at their son would remind her of her unicorn baby.

Meanwhile Owen grinned so widely it almost cracked open his jaw. He was now picturing a little girl running around, a miniature version of Amelia, with brunette hair, blue eyes and dimples. Their little girl had him wrapped around her little finger already and she was only 5 months in utero.

Both expectant parents gazed at each other lovingly as Owen cupped Amelia's face and kissed her tenderly on the cheek, his heart full of joy. He had never felt happier in his whole life . His joy was contagious as Amelia felt her heart leap for joy as well.

Now that they knew they were having a little girl, they couldn't wait to meet her already.

[ / end flashback]

'Hello? Earth to Amelia!' Arizona's voice transported her back to the present moment.

'I'm so sorry, what was it you said?' Amelia asked.

'I was asking how is it like being a new parent. ' Arizona repeated. ' When Callie and I first bought Sofia home, it was a learning curve for me as well, even though I deal with kids on a regular basis. It's just different, you know.'

' Yes, I agree- even though I babysat for my nieces and nephews all the time, having your own child is an entirely different experience altogether. Charlotte is amazing though.' Amelia said as she gave her daughter a quick peck on the cheek. ' Right Char?'

Charlotte, who was now awake and staring up at Arizona, cooed in agreement as both adults smiled adoringly at her.

'I zoned out because I just had a flashback to the day of the 5 month scan you were mentioning about.' Amelia admitted. 'Owen was so overjoyed that he couldn't stop smiling for several days after that. He was going around the entire hospital telling everyone that he was having a daughter.' she chuckled. ' My hormonal self wasn't amused at him announcing to the entire hospital about the gender of our baby, but he said that he was too excited to keep it a secret. No wonder we received so many pink gifts during my baby shower. I remember all that now.'

'I'm so glad that you're regaining your memories, Amelia.' Arizona said earnestly.

'Yes, me too.' Amelia smiled in reply.

Just then, April walked over to the duo, informing Arizona that she had another pregnant patient to be reviewed.

' Well- I've gotta go now- I'll catch up with you later.' Arizona excused herself as Charlotte was transferred back to Amelia's arms.

' Right- I have to get Char up to the daycare.' Amelia replied.

A few nights later

Amelia sighed as she plopped herself down on a chair beside the kitchen counter. She was exhausted after an entire day of rounding on patients in the wards, reviewing patients in the ER and operating on patients in the OR. She had just fed and bathed Charlotte and tucked the baby into her crib. She needed some rest before the baby woke up for her next feeding.

After a few days of returning to work, she was starting to get back into the groove of work. The thrill of diagnosing patients, operating on them in the OR and seeing their improvement post operatively was returning to her. She didn't realize how much she missed work until she actually returned to work. She did wish she could spend more time with Charlotte though.

Owen was still at work and was expected to come back anytime soon. She found herself impatiently waiting for him to come home. With her memories slowly returning to her, she found herself slowly but surely developing feelings for him again.

She was starting to notice some details about Owen which she loved. She loved the way his eyebrows would furrow when he was concentrating on a task at hand. She observed him in the ER and noticed how passionate he was with regards to his job and how great a leader he was. In the ER, he was strict and always giving orders to ensure structure in the ER. At home though, he was an entirely different person. He was so patient, kind, caring and loving towards her, and so affectionate towards Charlotte. It really warmed her heart to see him cuddling their daughter whenever he reached home. He would also make it a point to show some affection towards her, such as giving her a kiss on the cheek or on the lips, or just holding her close in his arms. He was careful to not go beyond kissing and cuddling though as he was afraid she was still not ready to be physically intimate with him once again. The way he was so patient towards her really touched her heart.

She walked towards the fridge, planning to prepare a meal for him. She stopped as she studied one of the ultrasound pictures stuck to the fridge with a piece of magnet. There were several ultrasound pictures stuck on the fridge, for each trimester of the pregnancy, but that particular picture stood out as it was the very first ultrasound picture printed out, during the very first antenatal scan. Amelia could now recall her antenatal sessions during the later part of her pregnancy, but she still couldn't recall the first trimester of her pregnancy.

She took the ultrasound picture in her hands and stared at it. It was just a black and white photo showing a tiny blob in the middle of the photo. It was amazing, she thought, how just a tiny embryo could eventually develop and grow into a brand new human being. It was the miracle of life.

Her mind was transported back to her very first antenatal scan session.

[ Flashback]

Amelia lied down on the bed of the antenatal scan room, her heart pounding as she waited for Arizona to enter the room. Sensing her nervousness, Owen, who was seated beside the bed, held her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. His heart was also beating fast, but it was because he was so excited to be able to see his own child for the very first time.

He was still over the moon about the fact that the pregnancy test which she took the night before turned out positive. Earlier on that evening, they were cuddled on the couch, having Chinese takeaway when she whispered into his ear that she was late. When he figured out what she meant, he couldn't finish the rest of the dinner. When the test turned out positive, his heart leapt for joy. It was what he had wished and hoped for , it was his dream come true, to become a father. His joy was contagious as she found tears of joy streaming down her face too as he hugged her tight, telling her how much he loved her.

And now, both parents couldn't wait to see their baby. Amelia stared up at the ceiling, saying a silent prayer that this baby wouldn't be anencephalic. She still thought of her unicorn baby often and she couldn't bear the thought of losing another baby the same way. It would be her worst fear, having another brainless baby. She forced as smile as she looked at Owen, who smiled back at her. She knew how excited he was about becoming a parent, and she didn't want to dampen his spirits.

Owen, on the other hand, knew about Amelia's first pregnancy and what she had to go through bringing an anencephalic baby into the world and donating his organs. He knew her nerves were most probably due to the fact that she didn't want this baby to have any abnormalities too. Therefore, he tried his best to contain his excitement for her sake.

The curtains were drawn and Arizona appeared, smiling at the couple.

Prior to that, she had asked Amelia the normal antenatal questions before proceeding with the ultrasound. Now it was show time.

'Sorry it's a little cold.' she warned as she squeezed the gel on Amelia's stomach and Amelia winced at the cold sensation.

'You guys ready to see your baby?' she asked cheerfully.

' Yes.' Owen answered, trying to hide his excitement as he squeezed Amelia's hand. Amelia gave him a nervous smile in return.

' Ok, let's see.' said Arizona as she manipulated the probe on Amelia's still flat stomach.

' Alright, there you go.' she said as she stopped moving the probe and pointed to a small blob on the screen. Seeing a viable embryo properly implanted in the uterus, she zoomed in the image for the couple to see.

'And here's your baby, congratulations!' she proclaimed as Owen's heart leapt for joy upon seeing his baby for the very first time.

' It's still rather small.' Arizona added, ' But you can see the head and the limbs forming already.' she said, smiling as both expectant parents stared at the screen in awe, marveling at the life they had created together.

' We can only confirm anencephaly at around 11 weeks, but right now we can see the basic organs and everything seems fine so far. The gestational age is around 7 weeks from the crown rump length.' Arizona announced as both expectant parents nodded in understanding.

' Wanna hear the heartbeat?' Arizona asked as both Amelia and Owen nodded eagerly.

Arizona adjusted the scan settings, and soon the comforting ' lub dub' sound of the baby's heartbeat filled the antenatal scan room.

' Well, it definitely has a strong heartbeat.' Arizona pointed out smiling. ' Your baby seems fine and healthy.'

Amelia felt tears rolling down her cheeks as Owen hugged her tight.

' Our baby is going to be fine Owen.' she repeated, wanting so bad to believe this sentence as she looked up at him and their eyes met. ' Our baby is fine and healthy.'

' Yes, our baby is fine and healthy.' Owen replied smiling as he kissed the top of her forehead.

For the first time since her pregnancy, Amelia finally let herself rest assured that everything was going to be alright. She knew that there would still be the 11 week scan and the detailed scan during her second trimester , but she somehow felt reassured that this pregnancy would have a happy ending, unlike her first pregnancy.

[ / end flashback]

Amelia was transported back to the present time by the sound of keys jiggling at the main door and the main door knob turning.

She walked towards the living room, holding the ultrasound photo in her hands.

Owen's face lit up when he saw Amelia standing at the living room waiting for him.

'Hey.' he greeted her with a wide smile, just so happy to see her after a long tiring day at work.

She slowly made her way towards him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Glad to see that she was starting to get much more comfortable physically around him, he reciprocated by wrapping his arms around her waist.

'How was your day? ' he asked as he planted a kiss on her cheek.

'Busy.' she replied, cupping his face with one of her hands and staring up at him, smiling. ' The same old rushing from the ER to the wards, to the OR. How was your day?'

' Busy too.' he answered, looking down lovingly at her. ' Non stop patients coming in to the ER the entire day. Kepner and I hardly had time to rest. '

' Where's Charlotte?' he asked, looking around the room.

' She's fast asleep in her crib upstairs.' she answered, pointing to the baby monitor on the coffee table.

He looked at Charlotte's sleeping figure in the monitor with awe. He could just never get enough of his daughter.

' What is that you're holding in your hand?' he asked with interest as he noticed the ultrasound picture she was holding.

' Charlotte's very first photo.' she answered as she placed it on his hand. ' I just remembered that very first appointment. I was very nervous then because I was afraid of the possibility of having another anencephalic were excited though and I didn't want to dampen your mood.' Her face fell a little at the mention of her first baby whom she still missed.

' I know I understand.' Owen said, holding her hands as a supportive gesture. ' I can't imagine what it must have been like for you, going through that.' he added sympathetically.

' It was really tough. But I'm so thankful I had my friends in the practice there to support me during those dark times.' Amelia admitted.

' I'm thankful they were there for you too. But now we have Charlotte- and she's happy and healthy.' Owen added, causing Amelia to give him a dimpled smile.

' Yes and I'm so grateful for her.' she said earnestly.

They both stood a while longer at the living room, staring at the ultrasound picture in awe for several more minutes before retreating to the kitchen to prepare dinner together.

A few days later

The couple was winding down in their bedroom after a long tiring day at work. Maggie had kindly offered to babysit Charlotte for the night, pointing out that both new parents needed a well deserved break, so the baby was in Meredith's house. Having showered, Owen was on the bed reading a journal while Amelia showered.

Amelia found herself more and more at ease being with Owen, and memories of the earlier stages of her pregnancy were returning to her.

He couldn't help but steal a glance at her as she stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe. Although she had used the hairdryer to dry her hair, it was still slightly wet. After all these years of being together with her he still couldn't get enough of her. To him, she looked more beautiful than ever after pregnancy and childbirth. Her body had returned back to its slender pre pregnancy shape, and he thought she looked gorgeous.

Noticing him staring at her, she smiled coyly at him as she made her way to the wardrobe to take out her nightgown.

The first nightgown which caught her sight was a bright red nightgown with lace at the edges. She removed the nightgown from it's hanger, placing it on a chair beside the wardrobe. She then took out a bright red underwear to match the nightgown.

'Hmmm…..I wonder when and where did I purchase this nightgown? I don't remember buying it. ' she wondered out loud as she wore the underwear nightgown.

She turned around and giggled when she noticed Owen still checking her out.

'Why, you've never seen me wear this nightgown before?' she teased. ' I know, I always choose the other nightgowns, but I think that this one is special, and I just feel like wearing it tonight.'

'Well, it is special.' Owen pointed out. ' It was the nightgown you wore the night Charlotte was conceived. It was a very special night indeed.'

Amelia walked over to the bed and stood in front of him.

'Well- tell me about that night.' she demanded softly as their eyes met.

' It was the night of our first wedding anniversary.' he recalled.

Amelia closed her eyes as she tried to remember the night.

[ flashback]

It was the first year anniversary of their wedding. Owen and Amelia decided to do something special to commemorate the special occasion.

They had booked one of the most popular restaurants in town, Canlis, a couple of weeks before , for fear of it being fully booked during the date.

For days, they looked forward to and counted down to the date as it would be their first date together after so many weeks. They had been so busy at work and couldn't afford to take time off to spend with each other.

They dined in a romantic ambience, enjoying each other's company. They chatted about their day at work and the interesting cases they had encountered throughout the day. They had always enjoyed exchanging stories about each other's day at work. Their conversation eventually drifted to their childhood memories. Amelia recalled her childhood years tagging along with Derek on his dates with Addison and them not minding at all. Owen reminisced fondly on his childhood memories with Megan , with her tagging along for camping trips and soccer games. She never missed a single soccer game of his when their mother was too busy with work to be able to attend. He still missed his sister so much and never gave up hope of her being found alive one day.

Amelia was wearing a simple but beautiful red dress with a V shaped neck which reached to her knees and accentuated her curves. She completed her look with diamond earrings, a matching diamond necklace and high heeled red shoes. Owen thought she was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen that night and he couldn't take his eyes off her. He himself was wearing a chic collared light blue shirt. Amelia also couldn't help checking him out the entire night, thinking he was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

After the dinner, they went up to the Sky View Observatory and marveled at the sight of the fully lit city below them. They enjoyed each other's company, wrapped up in the bliss of their own world.

Amelia noticed Owen subtly stealing glances at her throughout the night and she couldn't help but feel flattered that she still had that effect on her husband.

As soon as they reached the privacy of their bedroom that night, Owen immediately walked over to Amelia and pulled her close to him as he planted a trail of kisses down her neck.

She giggled softly as she felt a tingling sensation of desire travel down her body at his touch.

' You look so beautiful tonight.' he whispered into her ear as he nibbled on her earlobe playfully.

' I know.' she replied, winking cheekily at him.

Owen chuckled at her vanity as he turned her around in one swift move so they were standing face to face. Their eyes were both burning with passion and desire.

He cupped her face in his hands, as he bent down to kiss her tenderly on the lips. She tiptoed to meet his kiss.

His hands trailed down to trace the outline of her slim, slender waist and her hands traced the outline of his rough beard.

As their kiss intensified, Amelia suddenly pulled away from him, much to his dismay.

' Amelia' Owen pleaded, unable to hide his disappointment.

' We need to shower first. ' she pointed out, whispering in a husky voice.

' Oh are you implying that we can shower together?' Owen asked winking.

'No- I want to make tonight special.' she answered as she slowly unbuttoned his shirt, teasing him further. ' So we will both take turns to shower first, starting with you. Because I have a surprise for you.' she winked.

Banking on the promise of her surprise, he complied.

40 minutes later, Owen was sitting shirtless on the bed , pretending to read a journal, but waiting in anticipation for Amelia to come out from the bathroom.

When she finally stepped out of the bathroom , his eyes widened as he admired her. She was wearing a sexy , red lacy nightgown which she had just purchased especially for that occasion the week before. He thought she was the most gorgeous woman ever. He got up of bed, his eyes never leaving hers as he closed the gap in between them.

' Do you like my new nightgown?' she asked seductively, winking at him as she made her way towards the bed and stood before him.

' Oh I like it very much.' he answered as he pulled her close to him, wrapping his hands around her waist. He could smell the vanilla scent of her hair. They shared a passionate kiss as their hands explored the contours of each other's body. His hands wandered to the outline of her breasts while her hands traced the muscular outline of his broad chest. Their tongues fought for dominance as the kiss intensified and their desire and passion for each other was ignited. Clothes were thrown in a haste onto the floor.

In one swift move , Amelia pushed Owen onto the bed as she climbed on top of him. Amelia was full of surprises, and Owen discovered earlier on that this was one of the surprises- that she could be feisty in bed as well. Owen liked it when she took control sometimes, it turned him on even more.

That night, they made sweet and passionate love, celebrating their love for each other.

[/end flashback]

Amelia's face lit up as she recalled the memory of that special night.

' Oh yes, I remember now!' she exclaimed. ' We didn't get much sleep that night.' she winked playfully at him.

' We certainly didn't.' Owen replied, smiling at the memory.

She pulled him close to her and cupped his face, staring up at him, her eyes full of love and passion. She suddenly tiptoed to kiss him gently on the lips, taking him by surprise.

He gently pushed her back as he looked into her eyes, searching for an honest answer.

' Amelia, don't get me wrong, but are you ready?' Owen asked cautiously. ' I want you to be ready first.'

' Yes I am.' Amelia replied confidently. She felt that she was indeed ready to reconnect physically with him once more.

' I'm ready now, Owen.' she said, an earnest tone in her voice.

Their eyes met again. Owen's was full of desire . How he missed her touch! He missed running his hands on her smooth skin and exploring the contours of her body. He missed the feel of her, inhaling her scent and being physically, emotionally and spiritually connected as one with her.

Amelia now realized that she also missed all of this, being intimate with Owen. Now that the memories were starting to return to her , she realized that they both shared an intense and passionate physical and emotional connection .

He cupped her face in return and kissed her gently but passionately on the lips. He wanted to take it slow as he didn't want to push her, this being their first time since she lost her memory. To his pleasant surprise she reciprocated the kiss eagerly and soon their tongues were fighting for dominance as they eagerly explored each other's bodies.

That night, they reconnected again as one. For Owen, it was about getting his dear wife back. For Amelia, it was about rediscovering the beautiful and passionate love affair she had with Owen. They were Owen and Amelia once again, and nothing could get in between them.
