History[]
Living with Owen and Adoption[]
When Leo was a few months old, he was placed in foster care. ("Judgment Day")
Owen took him in for his six month checkup. His birth mother, Betty, came to the exam. After Amelia offered to take her in, Betty ended up coming home with her, Owen, and Leo. ("Bad Reputation")
When Betty's parents came to the hospital looking for her, they found out about Leo. They decided they'd take him, but Owen said as he was Leo's legal guardian, he'd be fighting them. ("I Walk the Line")
COVID-19 Pandemic[]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Leo and his sister, Allison, were left in the care of their grandmother as both their parents were working at the hospital with COVID patients. During this time, Leo occasionally FaceTimed with Teddy and Owen. ("Helplessly Hoping") He and his grandma made up a game during this time in which she wrapped him with pillows and he pretended he was sleeping on a cloud. ("In My Life")
Play Date[]
Zola, Bailey, Ellis, Leo, Allison, and Scout all had a play date together with Teddy and Amelia supervising. They spent most of the day outside, playing on their play set. At the end of the day, Owen came over and told Zola that they'd taken Meredith off the ventilator and she was breathing on her own. Zola happily spread the information to the other kids. ("Breathe")
Christmas[]
Meredith, Amelia, Link, Owen, and Teddy spent Christmas together with all their children. At this celebration, Owen proposed to Teddy for the second time and she accepted.
Maggie and Winston's Wedding[]
In April 2021, Leo attended Maggie and Winston's wedding with Teddy and Owen. ("Someone Saved My Life Tonight")
Teddy and Owen's Wedding[]
Leo came to the park with Teddy and Owen on the day they were meant to get married. The wedding was interrupted by a bicycle accident, but they later got married at Emerald City Bar. ("Here Comes the Sun")
Coming Out[]
One day, when Owen and Teddy were arriving at work, Teddy said she'd take the kids to daycare while Owen went to work, so Owen picked up Leo to say goodbye to his little cowboy. Leo corrected that they're a girl, but Teddy told Leo that they were a boy. After some discussion, Teddy and Owen decided to seek therapy for themselves so they were better prepared to help Leo. ("Should I Stay or Should I Go")
Teddy and Owen spoke to Robin about Leo and she said that they needed to look for insistent, consistent, and persistent signs from Leo and until then, to let him explore his gender. For now, there was no need to change his name, clothes, or pronouns. ("I'll Cover You")
Leaving Seattle[]
When John Hall reported Owen for stealing drugs from the hospital to euthanize terminally ill soldiers, the whole family was force to flee Seattle suddenly. ("You Are the Blood")
Relationships[]
Familial[]
Leo's birth father is a drug dealer. His birth mother became addicted to drugs after receiving opioids for an ACL repair. She ran away from her parents, who did not know about her pregnancy. Leo was fostered by Owen Hunt until the birth mother's parents found out about Leo's existence. They wanted to raise Leo but soon came to realize they had to focus on their daughter and let her be a child. The family then agreed to let Owen and Amelia adopt Leo. Owen and Amelia split up shortly before the adoption, so Owen adopted Leo on his own with Amelia choosing to stay a big part of Leo's life as "Auntie Amelia".
