Liliana's POV

A couple of weeks later

"God, this morning just started and it's already busy" I grumble leaning against the front desk

"Yeah, I know. I've had patients back to back" Owen says

"So have I. As soon as I came in this morning I had to scrub in and I didn't even get to drink my morning coffee, because Jackson doesn't want me drinking it while I'm pregnant since I'm not supposed to have a bunch of caffeine, even though Arizona says it's fine to have a cup. I have absolutely no energy" I sigh dramatically

"He's just being over protective" Owen laughs

"I know he is. One of the many reasons I love him even though it gets on my nerves at times" I chuckle. I notice Amelia walking by quickly, obviously trying to avoid Owen.

"What was that about" I frown

"Nothing" he shakes his head

"That's a lie."

"I messed up" he sighs shamefully

"What happened" I ask

"I had a rough day yesterday. I lost my patient and then Riggs and I got into a bad argument and it brought up some memories of my sister. When I went home I just needed to blow off some steam, so I brought a bunch of beer and I got drunk. I completely forgot that Amelia was coming over last night. When she got there I had alcohol everywhere and that upset her with everything she's been through recently, so she left. I've tried to call her to apologize, but she wouldn't answer any of my calls" he sighs

"Okay, well I could lecture you on how inconsiderate it was to have a house filled with alcohol when your girlfriend is a recovering alcoholic, but I'm sure you already know that so the question is what are you going to do to fix this" I ask

"I don't know. I messed up" he frowns a look of guilt spread across his face

"Hey, we can figure this out. You did mess up, but everyone messes up at some point. I'm sure Amelia will forgive you, you just have to show her that you're sorry" I say

"I know and I will. I shouldn't have put her in the position where she was around alcohol and I regret it" he says

"I know you do and I'm sure Amelia knows that too, but you need to talk to her" I say and he nods his head in agreement. "Well just let me know if I can do anything to help" I say before walking away as my phone begins to ring making me frown when I see that it's Maggie since she never really calls me.

"Hello" I answer

"I need you to come over to the house" she says

"What? Maggie I'm at work, I can't just leave. What's going on" I ask

"It's complicated, but Mer needs us. Something happened and she freaked out and she won't talk to me" she says

"Okay, just give me a couple of minutes and I'll head that way" I sigh before hanging up. I don't know exactly what is going on with Meredith, but as her friend whenever she is in trouble, I'll drop everything to be there for her especially now that Derek isn't around. I kind of feel like it's my job since I was Derek's best friend. I texted Jackson to let him know that I was going to Meredith's and I left Amelia to take over for me today. I went to the locker room and changed out of my scrubs before leaving to go to Meredith's.

"So what exactly happened" I ask Maggie as I follow her into the kitchen

"I don't know. That guy Meredith's been seeing..." she begins to say
