This Feeling

Hello fellow omelians :) After a long break, I finally came to post a follow up to my ongoing storyline. It sort of follows the show (or how it was when I started writing the story hahaha) In my timeline, Teddy had delivered her baby but Owen hadn’t said that absurd speech that now we’re seeing aren’t living up to the light of day *ahem*. Amelia is dating Link but not pregnant yet. Anyway…here is the previous story for those who forgot it already or haven’t read it. 

Everything has changed (15x24)

Enjoy this! and let me know if you loved it yes or yes.

My Boys Drabbles - Just a Feeling (Part Six)

Alright, so like promise, here goes! The link to previous chapters is HERE. 

My Boys Drabbles – Just a Feeling (Part Six)

“Tom! What are you doing here?”

Tom Koracick gazed at the woman standing in front of him as if she’d just asked a nonsense question.

“What am I doing here?” he repeated impatiently, despite the smirk on his face. “I think what you should be asking yourself is, what are you doing here?” the senior neurosurgeon added as he nonchalantly inspected what was happening behind Amelia’s shoulders.

Belatedly realizing she was keeping Tom outside in the cold, Amelia took a step to the side, allowing him to come in while still processing the unusual appearance at her doorstep.

“What do you mean? I live here,” Amelia frowned trying to reason with the guy. “Where else should I be?”

“In Baltimore,” Tom affirmed as if that should be obvious. He took off his coat around the same time he finally laid eyes on the boy who had first opened the door. “There he is,” the neurosurgeon’s smirk got wider. “The future me,” Koracick added with a smug expression. “At least we know who is going to be in Baltimore by the time they are supposed to,” the surgeon threw a very suggestive glare back at Amelia.

“What…” she scoffed, frustrated by the confusion Tom was causing. “What makes you think I should be in Baltimore?”

It feels like us

I started writing this story weeks ago but so many things have happened since, both in my personal life and in Omelia’s lives on the show. I thought if it would still be relevant to write about them. I needed a bit of a moment to grieve the end of beautiful stories we could have had. But, lo and behold, I had time to think and feel and could sit today and finish it. I guess I still have some Omelia stories to tell, even if in the show they seem to be over. 

So, regarding this story timeline, it is after Amelia returned to NY, after Megan’s visit and Owen’s apology, but I will pretend that finale never happened in my stories because here I can do whatever I want ;) 

I hope you enjoy it :)

—///—

The seagulls fly high on the blue sky. I watch them, blinking against the bright sun. The sea breeze touches my skin, waving my hair. The salt on my lips. It’s a gorgeous day like a summer day, the sunshine warming our skin enough to ditch our jackets. The birds dance and sing in the blue sky, and I let the fresh air inflate my lungs. Carefree.

Leo plays in the sand in front of me and I look at him, smiling. He looks up at the sky, frowning his brows then points to the birds.

“Oh!” he exclaims then looks at me.

“Birds. Big birds!” I tell him and he looks up at them again. I fix his hat back on his head and he focuses on his toy, placing sand into his red bucket.

I took the day off to be with him. I got back from New York last night and I needed a day with just me and my little guy. Gladly, Owen was not opposed to it. We’ve spent the morning at a playground near the hospital, sliding down all the slides over and over, reaching the moon in the swings. Then I packed our bags and we had lunch here, in Alki Beach. Leo took a nap under the sunshade and now, here we are, building castles on the sand as the seagulls’ dance on the clear spring sky. I can’t help but think about my brother and the last words I listened in his voice. A bright Seattle day. He would love today.

Are You In or Out? - 15x23

Only 2 or 3 more episodes to go and the ending to Season 15 is less clear and predictable than it seemed in episode 8. In this review I won’t be commenting on the Station 19 scenes as I don’t personally follow that show so don’t know any of the storylines surrounding it, I also haven’t watched the Station 19 half of this cross-over so I don’t think I’m in any position to comment on what happened or even the characters involved. 

Thank you to @bafy-usy, @thepompeomethod  for their incredible gifs, my reviews wouldn’t be the same without them!

Maggie and Jackson

Maggie is not everyone’s cup of tea and I understand that, but I really liked her this episode. Truth be told when she first started muttering to Jackson about asking Meredith’s permission to move in with him I did roll my eyes, and I have a feeling I wasn’t the only one to do so, but as the episode progressed I began to empathise with her. People are different, that’s a quintessential fact about life and the chances are we will become friends with and eventually fall in love with people we aren’t similar too. Not to rub salt in the wound but Japril were a perfect example of that, and although Religion isn’t the same as how people process things and make decisions, this Jaggie storyline was still reflective of how understanding people can be for the ones they love. Jackson is an understanding guy and I enjoyed seeing every aspect of his reactions to Maggie and what she had to say, the only thing I’m a little confused about is why he is suddenly bringing camping back up? Why now? Chances are it has something to do with the finale… 

Alex and Jo

Alex is at his breaking point and I believe the next couple of episodes will determine how Jolex enter into Season 16. Jo isn’t talking, to anyone, she is barely a shell of a human and Alex doesn’t know what to do. As Alex rightfully said she is not herself and he doesn’t know what to do because he can’t ask about it. There is no way I could begin to imagine what Jo is feeling, or what it would be like to find out you are a product of sexual assault, but I am not sure where they are going to be taking this storyline and it is making me loose interest and trust in it a little bit. It’s not that Jo isn’t talking, it’s that she isn’t talking to Alex and they were the one couple who I would always commend for being on each other’s side no matter what, and finding it within themselves to trust the other person no matter how broken or screwed up they thought they were. My biggest issue with this is I feel as though they are fundamentally changing Jolex and how Jolex are together. 

Teddy and Tom

So Teddy does have the gestational period of an elephant if she is now only 3 weeks away from her due date, I know one is pregnant for 9 months and Grey’s timelines never quite add up but this may be the biggest stretch yet. Either way I’m glad we will be welcoming baby Altman-Hunt into the world soon. Nonetheless I still love T-Squared, they are well suited and Tom may be the most understanding human on this planet. I still love how Owen’s disinterest in him, Tom alway seems to somehow make a joke out of. Renting Teddy an apartment was a gesture of how committed Tom is and I would not be surprised if there was some argument between Tom and Owen on the day of baby Altman-Hunt’s birth about boundaries. I guess we will just have to wait and see…

Nico and Levi

I’m confused about what is going to happen between them, I don’t know if to be worried or not; I do think though that the reason Levi is struggling so much with knowing what to do or say is because this is his first big fight with his first love. It’s all new to him. Link’s words were important and I think made an impact so hopefully that helps. I, for one, just don’t want to see them break up. 

Meredith and DeLuca

So Deluca’s in love and Mere isn’t in that same place yet? How unpredictable… 

As much as I am all for Mere being happy again, as wonderfully pointed out by Amelia, it was clear from the start that DeLuca was in far more that she was; that’s not to say it’s a bad thing, it just could cause some issues between them as the Season draws to a close. Besides that, their patients story was compelling and interesting and I wonder how they are going to drag out this storyline in order for her to get the correct insurance and help needed. I do think that the pictures of Bailey and Catherine for one of the upcoming episodes are about Meredith putting Elli’s insurance information down, so we will just have to see how that pans out. 

Amelia, Link and Owen

It was predictable that the fandom would be swarming with comments, opinions, predictions, etc this morning after last night’s episode, so here are my two cents. First of all Owen’s initial reaction to finding out about Link and Amelia didn’t really strike me as jealous, he was understandably taken aback. He was not expecting it and given their history it was clear he was hurt but I wouldn’t classify his reaction as one of jealousy. What I do appreciate though is that Owen didn’t cause a scene like we have seen him do in the past, he asked Leo if he had seen it too (which was adorable) and kept on walking. I can only commend Owen for how he behaved in that interaction as it is also showing signs of personal growth, ergo therapy is working. (Though from my understanding of it in the final scenes Owen has only been to therapy once so far… but I may be wrong?)

We then Owen began to ask about Amelia and Link I admire the way Amelia asked Owen to respect their now existing boundaries. He doesn’t have the right to know, that he cannot argue with, and as much as they are being civil with one another, they are not friends so Amelia doesn’t owe him anything. It also made it clear that Amelia is trying to move on with her life, that’s not to say she doesn’t still care for Owen, but it is obvious he hurt her deeply so as much as she is being respectful and civil she isn’t involving him in her personal life. I think that this episode helped Owen understand how poorly he treated Amelia at times, especially when she told him he wasn’t allowed to have an opinion when he said she was overreacting, and as a result he is coming to terms with the fact that she is no longer “his”. Again that’s not to say he still doesn’t have feelings for her.

Then finally Amelia gets the apology she deserves. I don’t agree with everything Owen said in his apology, for example when he said she was incapable he wasn’t talking about himself he was just trying to hurt her, that’s it, he was hurt by her so her wanted her to hurt to; so why not just own up to that? I’m not insinuating Owen is lying but I don’t agree with his justification of why he hurt her. Nonetheless I think it is vital that he did apologise, it did however feel like closure to me; they are both accepting and coming to terms with the fact that this chapter between them is closed. That does not mean I don’t think there will ever be chance for them to return to one another in the future, but for now I think they have finally accepted that they are not going to be together. It feels a lot like when Rachel and Ross began to comfortable talking about dating other people around each other, it didn’t mean they were off the table completely it just meant that for the time being they weren’t in that place. 

Amelia’s final scene of the episode is with Leo, and damn that baby is cute. Link accepting that Amelia had plans with “another guy” was incredibly sweet and I like how he respects her relationship with Leo even though there is a messy history behind it. I read a post in which @ameliashepherdgoeshunting commented that the first thing Leo said when seeing Link was ‘bye, bye’ that’s not true; I understand being an Omelia shipper and wanting Link around (and this is said with no malice behind it) but Leo’s first words around Link weren’t even words and then he babbles the word for apple, it wasn’t until Link and Amelia had said bye that Leo echoed it. The more I see of Link and Amelia the more I see the ease and comfort they feel around one another, and it’s nice to watch. Derek once said that for love to be real it has to hurt but I don’t think that’s true, there are so many different types of love and if this is what is making Amelia happy at the moment then I’m all for it. 

One of the final scenes of the episode was Owen returning to therapy and confessing that he wants to be clear when he tells her he loves her, I understood it as him referring to Amelia but apart of me is wondering if they are making him make a reference not to Teddy but to his unborn child. That is a theory I have not seen anyone put out there yet. Leaving his relationships with Teddy and Amelia to one side for a second, Owen cannot be the best father he can be if he is not of clear mind and conscience and at peace with himself, so if anyone is keeping score that is what I am placing my bet on. I don’t think he will make some big play for Amelia, she has asked him to stay out of her life, and for now at least I want to see him respect that. 

What are your thoughts? Do share! Predictions, opinions, ideas, etc. I want to hear them! Chances are you thought of something that never crossed my mind!

We gonna be always - part three

First of all, I’m very sorry for this chapter. Please don’t hate me. 

Second, if you missed Part 1 and Part 2. 

and third, this chapter is after Megan’s visit but before the NYC trip. I decided to not write anything about Megan’s because, well, because one episode with Megan is one episode too many. #sorrynotsorry 

—///—

“Where is that toy?” I talk to myself as I search the living room for the stuffed tiger Leo’s obsessed lately. My pager goes off again and I see Leo removing his shoes as I read the message. Chaos. Why my mornings are always chaotic? “Come on, buddy, don’t remove your shoes,” I say to Leo as he throws the shoes away as he looks at me. Great.

I finally find Roodles and walk to get Leo’s shoes tossed to the hallway. I hold Leo, his diaper bag for the daycare, his bag to stay at Amelia’s tonight, the car keys and of course, the shoes he just removed, leaving the front door with my hands full.

“Thanks for making it even harder,” I tell Leo as I lock the door. “You’re very helpful.”

Leo looks at me with a little smug smile and I shake my head, smiling too. I can’t be mad at him. He’s too darn cute.

41

The announcement hit me like a ton of bricks.

We’ve all seen it coming. The fanfare around this season, and the physical struggle every night really brought things to a head faster than I was ready for.

There is not a player in any sport I have loved as much or as long as Dirk Nowitzki.

A bunch of people reached out to me on twitter and irl because of the announcement and I have to say, it didn’t really register at first. I was at work until 10, and then came home and turned it on and read the messages and tweets and saw the tribute videos and just…. I’m a little deflated. My roommate came home and found me crying on the couch.

I’ve watched Dirk lead the Mavs through some amazing times and some bad ones. I’ve seen him play with Nash, Finley, Van Exel, JET, J Kidd, Shawn Marion… that whole 2011 team. I’ve seen him sweep the Lakers, and beat the Big 3, I’ve seen him handle the criticism and take responsibility for bad games and bad seasons. I’ve seen him yell at refs and get ejected, punch walls. I’ve seen him drop 50 points, hit game winners, make 24 consecutive free throws in a game. I’ve seen him take hard falls, and I’ve seen him get up and keep playing.

I’ve watched him be humble, and kind, and determined, and loyal through all of it. I’ve watched him, since I was 13, be an incredible class act of a human. He is the standard by which I judge all other Mavs players, NBA players, and athletes in general.

I know the Mavs as a front office have made moves to make sure that this team becomes competitive again, thanks in large part to his willingness to take pay cuts, play off the bench, take a lesser role, in an effort to bring this team into the future. I hope, for his sake, that next year pays off. I don’t know how to imagine a team without him as the face of the franchise.

This organization, this city, and this sport are better because of him.

We gonna be always - part two

If you missed part one, here it is :) 

Few facts about the story: I didn’t change the fact that Amelia went to San Diego and slept with Link there. In this story, it is after she comes back. It happens between ep 17 and 18. Also, there are so many things Amelia and Owen keeps pushing under the emotional rug that it can’t and shouldn’t be solved in one conversation, so maybe this story will have more chapters. :)

No further ado, I hope you enjoy even if it is sad af. 

—///—

I wake up with Leo’s little hands on my face. As I open my eyes, I see him smiling at me. He rolls over on his tummy and I caress his soft baby curls.

“Good morning, baby,” I say low. Leo smiles again as he rolls back and sits down, staring at me. “I missed waking up next to you,” I smile at his adorable sleepy face.

I look over my bedside table and grab my phone. There’s a message from Owen, saying he’d stop by around 8 to grab Leo. Now it’s past 7. I’ve been up a couple of times with Leo during the night.

“We need to get going,” I tell him as I get up and hold him up in my arms. “Your dad is going to come soon to get you.”

In the next half hour, I changed his diaper, gave him breakfast as I tried to get myself somewhat presented to receive Owen. I know he has seen me in my worst, but now it feels different. We’re not together and I shouldn’t care about how good I look. I don’t know why I care, but I find myself changing my shirt twice while Leo eats his waffles.

“Hey,” I say as I sit down next to him on the couch. “Let’s call Betty?”

Leo looks at me raising his eyebrows when I mention Betty’s name.

“Do you miss her?” I ask Leo but he shoves another piece of waffle into his mouth. “I miss her. I miss her a lot. Maybe we can still get her before she goes to school.” I say as I press her name on Facetime.

Both are good players, both of them can go down as one of the greateat to play the game. But Luka has an advantage, he's more versatile and an all around player on top of that a walking triple double machine, Trae with his size can't be the player like Luka but can go down as one of the best PG to ever play the game
