Can any character dare to have a happy-ever-after in 'Grey's Anatomy?' If you're happy for more than an episode, you're either sent to jail or killed off in a car crash, or framed for something you didn't do.

And so, in the case of Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone), her love story with Link (Chris Carmack) might just take a whack, as it turns out that the father of Amelia's baby could be Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) and not Link. Uh oh. Amelia's worked hard for this paradise and it seems like it all just might collapse.

However, fans are determined to let this not happen. Amelia deserves to be happy with Link, and not get sucked back into the Owen mess again, they feel. So, fans took the liberty of speculating wildly about how this could happen. 



 

A fan on Reddit proposed that Owen should die for Amelia and Link to be together. "Just a theory. Amelia's baby is Owens and Amelia tells Owen and Link about it," the fan wrote.

"Owen was at home with Teddy then and was rushing to Amelia at the hospital but he gets into a terrible car crash on his way. Meredith and Bailey and all relevant surgeons try to save Owen but he was too far gone and eventually, they had to pull the plug."

"Link steps up to father Amelia's baby, making Amelia and Link endgame with Owen out of the way. Heartbroken Teddy moves back to Germany with Leo and Allison," the fan added.

Fans were rather torn with this theory. "I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to Owen dying," a Reddit user wrote. "He's involved enough that his death would be a big deal and could prompt some interesting developments for everyone else."

However, let's not forget there are two children (potentially three), who stand to lose. "Yes, let’s leave two (potentially 3) children without their father and put Teddy through [losing] another significant other. I'm going with a big NO," another fan wrote. 

'Grey's Anatomy' will return from a hiatus on January 23, 2020, and will air on ABC.
