"I forgot how much this hurts." Amelia groaned squeezing her husbands hand.

"You got this." Link encouraged, rubbing his wife's arm up and down.

"Your looking good Amelia. Your about 5cm dilated so far." The OB informed before leaving the room, Amelia was unsettled that her usual OB wasn't unavailable since she was on her honeymoon.

"Everything is gonna be okay. She's a great OB." Link comforted, sensing his wife's nerves. She smiled at him before doubling over in pain, clutching his hand.

"I know, but what if something goes wrong? I trust Carina, not this doctor who we met five minutes ago." Amelia sighed once her contraction had passed.

"Nothings going wrong, it's going to be just fine."

"It better be." Link smirked at his wife and kissed her forehead in an attempt to comfort her.

"It's been foreeeeeeeeeeeever since we've been to the park!" Scout exaggerated as he walked to the park with his sister and aunt. "Aren't you excited, Addie?"

"No." She sighed resting her head on Maggie's shoulder while she was being carried. Scout had basically dragged the two out of the house.

"It'll be nice to get out of the house, you'll be begging to get away once the baby is crying all the time." Maggie chuckled.

"Are they here yet?" The girl asked, suddenly perking up.

"Nope not yet, it's gonna be a little bit." The girl sighed dramatically in response, as her aunt let her down and she ran to the slide, her brother right behind her.

She quickly checked her phone to see if there was any update on Amelia's progress, nothing new. When she looked up she spotted the kids crouched down by the slide, she ran over thinking one of them were hurt.

"What happened?" She asked, engaging into doctor mode.

"This dogs leg looks like it's broken." Scout said standing up, allowing Maggie to see the small dog.

"Oh." Maggie breathed out, relieved the kids were fine. "Okay, let's see." She kneeled down to examine the dog. She wasn't a vet, but she did assume the dogs leg was broken. She looked for a tag, but found nothing.

"Your a doctor, help him Auntie Maggie!" Addie exclaimed, visibly upset.

"Well I'm a human doctor, not a dog doctor." Maggie looked down and contemplated what she was going to do. "Alright we're going to have to go back to the house since my car is there, and drive this little guy to the vet."

The kids nodded in agreement, following their aunt as she carried the whimpering dog. Maggie was silently cursing herself, obviously someone needed to help the animal. But she knew the kids were going to get attached to the dog, and Amelia made it clear, absolutely no dog.

"We should name him." Addie smiled once Maggie buckled her in.

"No!" Maggie nearly shouted.

"Your right, we'll name him once we know he's okay."

"Nope, we're not naming him. We're taking him to the vet and they're gonna make sure he's okay and has a home." Maggie affirmed, she knew her sister would kill her if she came home with a new baby and there was a dog at the house.

"Auntie Maggie, they kill the dog's there if they don't have a home!" Scout exclaimed to his aunt, visibly upset.

"They don't do that, I'll make sure of it." As terribly as it sounded she was starting to wish she left the dog in the park, so she didn't have to deal with the broken hearts of her niece and nephew.
