i have no idea if this makes any sense but i had the idea and thought it would be cute

Link quietly opened the door to their bedroom, finding his girlfriend fast asleep, their son in his crib right next to her. He smiled and kicked off his shoes, too exhausted to change into his pajamas, and wrapped his arm around his girlfriend.

"Get off of me." Amelia snapped pushing his arm off of her.

"Jeez, sorry." Link said, slightly offended by his girlfriend. His department was a mess at the hospital and he had to go in to help things run smoothly, and Amelia was obviously upset about it but when confronted she insisted she stay home until after her maternity leave was up.

Link flipped onto his back and looked up at the ceiling. Before and during his girlfriends pregnancy she had loved to be touched non-sexually and sexually, but since their sons birth she'd be pissed if he got anywhere near him. At this rate he was surprised they were sleeping in the same bed.

"Why are we even sleeping in the same bed?" Link asked turning to face his girlfriend.

"Wow. That's all you can think about. All you can think about is sex."

"No!" Link defended quickly, he was worried for his girlfriend this was nothing like her. "That's not it! I'm worried about you, your love language is physical affection. And since Scout's been born I've barely touched you."

"Just let me sleep."

"Maybe you should go back to work." Link suggested he wanted to try and work this out with her.

"I don't want to go back to work." She bit back at him, now fully awake.

"You obviously do."

"No I don't!" Amelia said this too loudly causing their son to start crying. "Now you've woken the baby up!"

"I'm not the one yelling." Link defended himself.

"We were both peacefully sleeping before you came in here." Amelia sighed standing up, and instead of picking up their son she walked into the closet.

"What are you doing?" Link asked as he sat up to tend to the crying baby.

Amelia threw her duffel bag onto the edge of the bed and threw her clothes aggressively into it.

"Babe, come on. What are you doing."

"I'm leaving I can't take this." Amelia zipped up the bag quickly and took the baby out of his arms.

"You can't take the baby. He's ours."

"Watch me."

"Where are you going?"

"None of your business." Amelia slammed the door behind her. Link sighed and laid back against the bed. He assumed she was just going to her sisters. He had no idea why she was acting like this, it was totally unlike her.

"Is it okay if we stay here?" Amelia asked, a groggy Meredith who opened the door.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, absolutely great. Picture freaking perfect." Meredith stepped aside to let the tired mom in with the sleeping baby.

"Zola's occupied your room though."

"I don't care I'll sleep on the couch." Amelia sighed as she set the car seat down and put together her sons portable crib in the living room.

"Did you have a fight with Link?" Meredith asked sitting on the edge of the couch as her sister placed the baby in his crib so he could get some sleep.
