Amelia Shepherd
When Derek is offered a job by the President of the United States running a federal brain - mapping research project in Washington , D.C. , Amelia , having begun assisting at Grey - Sloan Memorial Hospital with some of Derek 's patients , takes over his practice , as the head of neurosurgery , at the hospital . She thus gained monikers , such as `` Shepherdess '' and `` Lady Shepherd , '' so as to differentiate her from Derek . By season 11 , she permanently moves in with her brother and her sister - in - law . Initially , she is known at Grey - Sloan largely as Derek 's younger sister and once told her brother that she felt like she was constantly in his shadow . She soon begins a relationship with Owen Hunt ( Kevin McKidd ) , her boss , and admits to Derek that she is falling in love with him . However , she later tells Owen that it was a mistake to mix their personal and professional lives . Following her brother 's death and Meredith 's `` disappearance , '' she buries herself in work to distract herself . For some time she and Meredith were estranged over the circumstances of Derek 's death but after listening to the very last phone message Derek had recorded for Meredith , she is finally able to let go of the animosity and reaches out to Meredith . Meredith 's half sister Maggie moves in , with Amelia labeling the threesome `` Lady Chief Trifecta . '' She gradually befriends Meredith 's colleagues and is accepted into their circle . At the end of season 12 , she marries Owen Hunt . However , the marriage is very turbulent at times . They struggle to adjust to married life , especially when Owen tells her that he wants kids as she does not want kids , nor does she want to go through the trauma of another pregnancy after the loss of her first child ( who Owen does n't know about ) . This strains the marriage to the point where she moves out and avoids him entirely . During the rest of the season , she grows closer to the two sisters and focuses more on her work , ignoring her stalling marriage . In season 14 , when she went into an MRI as part of a study conducted by Carina Deluca on female brain activity , she found out that she has a brain tumor .
