"Addie you need to let me unbuckle your seat belt." Amelia told her daughter, worried she was about to make a scene in front of this kids house.

"Please don't make me go mommy." She begged tears starting to form in her eyes.

"It'll be fun." Scout interjected starting to get impatient, he really wanted to go play race cars with his friend. "Come on Addie, I want to go play."

"Yeah, it'll be a ton of fun. And Scout will be there the whole time." Amelia tried to convince her daughter, reaching to unbuckle her daughters seatbelt.

"NO, I DONT WANT TO GO." Amelia wanted to throw a tantrum along with her daughter at this point.

"Fine." Amelia sighed giving up, and walking her son to the door.

"Hey Scout!" Levi, the boys friend, excitedly greeted. "Ready to play?"

"Yep." Scout smiled walking in the house and running up the stairs with his friend.

"Is Addie joining us today?" Levi's mother asked.

"I don't think so." Amelia sighed looking back to her car.

"I get it, Levi had difficulty making friends and he still has a bit of trouble. Now he has a couple of great friends though, you know quality not quantity."

"Yeah. Thank you so much, for having Scout over.

"Of course! Scouts always a pleasure to have."

"How'd your surgery go?" Link asked as his wife walked through the front door.

"It was okay, the patients stable." Amelia said whilst kicking off her shoes by the door.

"That's good, I'm glad."

"No your pissed at me. Because I didn't drop her off at that play date."

"I'm not mad, but we agreed she was going to that play date. So imagine my surprise when I realized she was at the hospitals day care."

"She just didn't want to go." Amelia sighed, walking over to her husband wrapping her arms around him as much as her pregnant belly allowed.

"How about you go to bed and I'll meet you upstairs in about a half hour." Link sighed, knowing this conversation wasn't going to go anywhere pretty unless donuts were involved.

"Half hour?" Amelia asked confused, as Link picked up his keys and headed for the door.

" I'll be back, so I'll just meet you upstairs." Amelia sighed and walked up the stairs to go shower and get comfortable. She laid down in their bed and flipped through the book next to her bed mindlessly. Until she heard their bedroom door open.

"Hey, I'm home." Link whispered as he walked into their bedroom holding a box.

"Atticus Lincoln, did you get donuts?" Amelia gasped sitting up. "For me?"

"Of course, I wouldn't go out in the middle of the night to get donuts for just anyone." Link jumped on the bed passing the box to her.

"These are so good." The neurosurgeon smiled as she shoved one in her mouth.

"Okay, so talk. Have all your feelings." Link ordered while splitting a donut in half.

"I'm just worried for her, I just want her to talk to people."

"Me too."

"I just want to force her to make friends, I know that's terrible but I just want her to be okay."
