"Amy?!" Amelia silently cursed herself, she should've made sure none of her sisters would be at this conference.
"Nancy! It's so good to see you." Amelia forcefully smiled once she turned around.
"You too. You know I haven't heard from you since I've last seen you."
"Hmm. It has been awhile." Amelia hummed, trying to gain the energy to be civil. "I've never seen you at one of these alternative pain relief conferences."
"Oh, well. I needed to get to a couple of more conferences in before the end of the year, and I thought this would be a good option."
"Well I'll probably see you around." Amelia said awkwardly backing away.
"Yes. I'll call you and we can make plans while we're in town." Nancy smiled squeezing her sisters upper arm before walking away.

"You'll never guess who's here." Amelia dramatically sighed into her phone.
"If you say Dr Lavorn I'm going go be so jealous." Link responded, he had planned to accompany his girlfriend but he had gotten the flu.
"No my sister." The neurosurgeons voice broke.
"Oh, don't cry." Link pleaded he hated to see his girlfriend cry, especially when he wasn't there to comfort her.
"I can't control it. Hormones." Amelia cried into her phone flopping down on the hotel bed.
"I'm sorry."
"You better be, your the one who impregnated me and insisted I come to this conference."
"Which sister is it?"
"Nancy."
"Oh she wasn't that bad, I'm sure you'll be fine. I mean you probably won't really see her again."
"Oh no, I will be seeing her again." Amelia looked down at her watch. "In thirty minutes for dinner."
"Now why would you agree to that?" Link chuckled.
"I don't know. She has this way about her."
"You'll be fine. Are you gonna tell her about the pregnancy?"
"No, I'm barely showing yet. I'm going to try and not engage in conversation about my personal life as much as possible. How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling much better, I'll probably go into work tomorrow."
"Okay, that's good." Amelia relaxed a bit, she had been nervous to leave her boyfriend while he was sick. "Well I have to go, I love you."
"Love you too."

"So mom told me before you left New York, you guys had the opportunity to talk. She misses you, you should call her every once in awhile."
"Hmm, I probably should." The neurosurgeon was trying her hardest to keep her composure.
"Also Lizzie, she's been trying to get all of us together for awhile now. She says she tries to call you sometimes and you never answer. I know she was disappointed she couldn't come to dinner that night."
"I'll have to call her back then." Amelia forcefully smiled.
"You should've done it anyway shouldn't have to take me telling you too." Amelia simply hummed in response, she wasn't sure how much more she could take from her sister.
After a tense dinner between the two, Nancy suggested that they go across the street to get ice cream. As much as Amelia didn't want to spend more time with her sister chocolate ice cream had been one of her most recent cravings. The two sat outside in awkward silence until Nancy spoke up.
