"I found them." Amelia panted as she pulled the box from underneath her bed.
"Sweet, the kids have been begging me since last night and all day today." Link chuckled as he rocked their son to sleep. They were putting him down so they could watch the home movies with the older kids.
"I don't know where Mer's videos are, but I have a lot from Derek and I's childhood. I'm sure the kids will like that."
"Yeah." Link agreed as he lowered the baby into his crib. He then walked over and picked up the hefty box and followed his girlfriend down the stairs.
"I found the videos." Amelia smiled as she jumped on the couch. Causing the kids to silently cheer, aware their baby cousin was asleep.
"Which ones?" Zola asked moving closer to her aunt.
"The ones from when Derek and I were kids. I don't know where your mom keeps the ones they had." Amelia confessed as she pulled the girl into her lap.
"Which do you want to start with?" Link asked as he flipped through the DVD case. A couple of years before Derek died their mother converted all the VHS tapes into DVDs for her children to have.
"All of them!" Bailey announced as he jumped on the couch to sit next to his aunt.
"We'd be here all night." Amelia chuckled, the children didn't realize how much footage there was. "We should really spread out the content."
After a bit of debate the kids decided they wanted to watch a video of their father doing his favorite hobby, fishing. Once play was hit, scenery of a lake with trees was put into view, and then the face of an acne filled teenager with curly dark brown hair.
"Is that dad?" Bailey asked shocked.
"Yep. He looked much different way back when." The young boy nodded in agreement.
The teenage boy casted his fishing line into the waters causing a splash noise. Another boy a couple of inches taller, with dirty blonde hair came into view. Pushing a young girl with badly cut bangs into the lake. Causing both boys to erupt with laughter, the small girl emerged out from the water with a huge pout on her face.
"Is that Sofia's dad and you?" Zola asked curiously, a bit of shock tainting her voice.
"Yeah that's Mark, and that's me."
"Your hair looks really bad." Ellis remarked, causing Link to have to stifle his laugh.
"That wasn't my fault, my sister cut those."
"Mommy?" Ellis asked, she knew her mom, Amelia, and Maggie were sisters.
"Nope, my sister Lizzie."
"Who?" The three kids asked in unison.
"My sister, Lizzie. I have three other sisters, not including your mom and Maggie." Amelia answered slightly confused. She knew Meredith didn't keep in close contact with her family, but she didn't realize how much the kids didn't know.
"Is that Nancy or Kathleen?" Zola asked, as she knew a bit more about the Shepherds, pointing to a tall red-heading girl in the video who helped the young girl out of the water and wrapped her in a towel.
"Oh-uh um, that's Addison."
"Who's Addison?" Bailey asked intrigued as he didn't recognize the name.
"Wasn't Addison your brothers e-" Link began before being abruptly cut off by his girlfriend.
"My brothers friend, all of ours friend. She was very close to the family."
"Where was mom?" Ellis asked once the video was over, and Link got up to change the disc into the next video.
"Your dad didn't know your mom yet." The girls aunt answered.
"Amelia's prom?" Link asked surprised, reading the writing on the DVD.
"No, no, no, we're not watching that." Amelia said abruptly, knowing she was about to cringe if she saw her teenage self.
"Oooh, I think we should." Link smirked placing the disk into the DVD player.
"Liiiiink, please don't do this to me." The neurosurgeon whined, dropping her head back onto the couch.
The video started by Derek opening the door for a tall boy, by the look on his face, the future neurosurgeon was not happy. Nonetheless he invited his sisters date in and such his hand. Awkward small talk was exchanged before Amelia came down the stairs with Addison behind her. She was in an off the shoulders black dress that went just above her knees, and it was tight fitting. The older brother hugged his sister tightly before reluctantly letting her go, and he whispered something inaudible to the boy causing his sister to lightly slap him across the chest, before she left with the boy.
"Who's that?" Zola asked, as she didn't realize the boy with Amelia.
"Dylan Robinson."
"Tell me Amelia, what was the age difference between you two?" Link asked curiously, seeing as the boy looked much older than her.
"Oh shut up." She rolled her eyes, before her boyfriend looked at her, raising his eyebrow. "He may of been a senior, and I may of been a sophomore."
"Amelia! Your kidding!"
"God, look at the time." Amelia said looking down at the time on her phone, it revealing 9:00pm. "We've got to go get ready for bed, and then go to sleep, we've got a lot of school work tomorrow."
An eruption of boos and sighs came from the children. The kids asking for one more video, but the adults shutting it down and promising they'd watch more tomorrow. Once the adults had finished up the kids routines, put them to bed, and checked on their son, they then got comfortable in bed beside one another.
"Did you really go to prom with someone three years older than you?" Link asked wrapping his arm around his girlfriend, and nestling his nose in her neck.
"He was four years older than me, he was held back a year." Amelia smirked.
"Have you always been into older guys?"
"Hey, I'm a couple of months older than you." Amelia pointed out, slightly offended.
"No not me, I'm talking about Major Hunt."
"Oh shut up." Amelia giggled, taking the pillow from behind her and slapping him with it.
"It was a genuine question." The ortho surgeon held up his hands defensively.
Amelia demeanor than changed before she began talking again. "He was my first drug dealer, he didn't have anyone to go with. He said he'd give me drugs for free for a couple of months if I went with him."
"I'm sorry." Link's expression grew softer as he opened his arms for his girlfriend to lean against his chest.
"It's my own fault. I took the drugs."
"He enabled you though." Amelia shrugged her shoulders before, she went in to kiss her boyfriend." I love you." The neurosurgeon sighed contently once her boyfriend broke away from the kiss.
"I love you more."
"Is that right?" Link asked as he pushed his girlfriend back onto the bed and hovered over her. "I'll show you how much more I love you."
