"Okay, I'll be back soon. I've gotta get Lizzie from the airport. Did you tell Bailey we won't be able to make it to the dinner?" Amelia asked as she grabbed her purse and keys making her way to the door.
"Nope, I forgot. I'm on it though, no worries."
"Thank you, I'll be back in a little while. Scout may need a bottle when he wakes up there's some milk in the fridge for him."
"Alright see you in a little bit." Link said as he flipped through a sports magazine.
"One more thing, unload the dishwasher please?" Amelia asked as she opened the door.
"Sure thing."
"If I get back and it's not unloaded your gonna be in trouble."
"Really?" This perked Link up and he turned to face his girlfriend. "What kind of trouble?"
"Just unload the dishwasher." Amelia laughed as she locked the door behind her.

"God, the coffee really is so much better in Seattle." Lizzie chuckled as her and her sister sat in a park.
"That is factual." Amelia laughed along with her sister. "Are you nervous for your presentation?"
"Of course not, I've done presentations at conferences for years. A lot longer than you."
"Just asking." Amelia put her hands up defensively.
"I'm not only here for the conference there's something we need to talk about."
"And that is?" Amelia asked starting to get nervous, she could tell by the preface of the statement it wasn't going to be anything good.
"Mom hasn't updated her will since Derek's died."
"What, why?"
"I don't know, she didn't want to accept it? It's foolish, but Kate's making her go to the lawyer and have her work on it."
"Okay that's good, what do we need to talk about then? It seems like Kathleen's handling it."
"Well, right now the store is in Derek's name-"
"Noooo way, I'm not taking the store."
"Daddy would've wanted you to have it if Derek couldn't. You were always his favorite."
"Oh yeah, I'm sure he'd want me to have the store I watched him get murdered in."
"Amy, it'd mean so much to mom."
"Liz, no way. Even if I wanted it my life is in Seattle. Why don't one of you guys take it?"
"All of us are busy we don't have enough time between work and raising our kids to run a store."
"And you think I have the time?I have a baby, and I'm also a surgeon. Your kids are almost teenagers anyway you guys have more time."
"Just think about it."
"Liz-."
"Fine, I'll talk to my husband we'll probably take it." The older sister sighed annoyingly.
"Thank you." Amelia smiled.
"You owe me big time though."
"What can I do for you?" Amelia chuckled.
"Hmm." Lizzie seemed to contemplate this for a moment. "I get to spend some time with you baby, I miss when my kids were that little."
"I think we can arrange that."
