"No it's too early." Amelia said sitting up in the hospital bed.

"We tried the Terbutaline, and it didn't work. It's going to be fine though, your 34 weeks almost 35. We've got this." Carina reassuringly told the scared neurosurgeon. "We're going to take you up for a c-section in a couple of minutes."

"It's going to be okay, Mia." Link kissed his girlfriends sweaty forehead.

"Call Maggie or Meredith or someone, see if someone wouldn't mind taking Scout." Amelia asked her boyfriend on the verge of tears.

"Already taken care of, my parents are with him."

"When did they get here?"

"This afternoon they were coming in to have dinner with us. They're gonna stay with Scout for a little bit cause it seems like we're going to be in the NICU with the baby."

"Oh god." Amelia groaned anxiously, she just wanted her baby to be fine.

"Amelia, look at me." Link gently moved her chin with his hand so she was looking at him. "Our baby's going to be perfectly fine."

"Are we ready?" Carina asked coming back into the room ready to take them up to the OR.

"No." A nervous Amelia responded.

"It's going to be just fine." Carina said, wheeling the bed out of the room.

"Grandma!" Scout happily exclaimed running towards her.

"Hey." She reciprocated the hug the little boy was giving her. "How are you?"

"Good." Scout happily responded as his grandmother sighed him out of daycare.

"Good, I'm going to take you home. I think grandpa is making dinner. And maybe we'll get some ice cream afterwards." Maureen told her grandson whilst picking him up to take him back to his house.

"Yay!" The boy exclaimed. "Want to play dinosaurs when we get home?"

"Sure. We can do that." The walk back to the house was non eventful, Scout told his grandmother all the dinosaur facts he could list off the top of his head.

"Just in time dinners ready." Eric announced once the pair walked into the kitchen.

"Good, I'm sure your hungry. Right Scout?" Maureen asked the small boy.

"Yep." Scout happily replied jumping up onto his usually chair. He was quite content, especially that no one was talking about the supposed new baby coming soon.

"So are you excited for the new baby? They'll be here tonight probably." Eric told his grandson. Scout stopped the fork from going into his mouth and slammed it down onto the plate.

"No, baby still has to be in mommy's belly. Daddy said a couple of more Mondays." Scout announced crossing his arms.

"Well that was what was supposed to happen, but the baby wanted to come early. You'll love it." Eric tried to explain.

"No."

"Well, how about we finish our meal." Maureen tried to change the subject.

"No thank you."

"You need to eat bud, you barely ate."

"Okay." Scout replied back bitterly. He did not want a new baby, he thought he still had enough time to convince his parents to give the baby away.
