He does trust her. More than just about anyone, with the possible exception of Blue herself, and even Blue's temper makes her a little more of a question mark than Gwen at rare times. Owen returns the kiss, and lets her go, to join the hybrids hopefully still sleeping in their room.
He's resting in a chair at Blue's opposite side when Gwen returns. He'd joined the sleeping raptors quietly, although not without waking up Omega, whose eyes looked barely focused; Owen was then left with the difficult task of explaining what was going to happen next. Predictably, Omega was not pleased to hear that they were taking Blue somewhere unfamiliar, under the care of another complete stranger, no matter how much Owen tried to reassure him that Dr. Gwen's mother didn't really count as a stranger. Then again, he's not surprised that an underfed and exhausted Omega would have some difficulty appreciating that particular nuance.
Lucky for Owen, the male raptor was too unwilling to risk waking Blue to put up more of a fight. They'd eventually been able to reach a point of agreement, which was that Omega wouldn't resort to violence as long as Gwen's mother didn't try to approach him or Blue at all. It's a bit excessive, but Owen knows that he has to attribute a lot of all this to the circumstances. Omega has been better than this for a while. But none of them are at their best and brightest with Blue lying hurt and sick in a hospital bed.
So, he agreed, and hoped that Gwen would appreciate the rationale behind it.
Omega is still awake, but barely, when Gwen returns, and doesn't move much as the doctor makes her inspections. Owen gets to his feet, once again finding energy in another step forward, but before Gwen gets started, Owen gently catches her and tugs her aside to speak in whispers.
"Listen -- Omega's gonna come along quietly. But he won't let anyone else he doesn't recognize come near Blue. I don't want to tell your mom what she can or can't do in her own home, but... do you think she'd be able to deal with that?"
