"She's perfect." Link whispered on the phone.
The sun was shining through their small apartment in Seattle. Amelia was asleep as sun shined a ray on the soft smile in her sleep.
"You never stop talking about her man. Marry the girl." Marcus laughed.
"I'm going to, I'm gonna marry that girl one day." Link smiled silently tiptoeing to the couch.
"I have work, I'll call you later." Marcus said.
Link hung up the phone and carefully turned the TV on a low volume. The quiet chatter of The Price Is Right echoed in the background.
Amelia slowly sat up the loose white shirt falling off her shoulder. She rubbed her eyes and sleepily walked over to the couch and wrapped her arms around Link.
"Morning beautiful." Link smiled.
"Hey." Amelia said.
"You hungry?" Link asked.
"Starving." Amelia laughed.
"Well we only have cereal so." Link said.
"I'm fine with cereal." Amelia said.
Link for up and Amelia followed behind. He poured the Trix into two bowls and slid one to Amelia. He poured the milk into his and then passed her the carton.
Amelia poured it in then sat on the counter. She picked up one dry piece at tossed it at him. Link laughed and tossed one right back at her.
She got more competitive and picked a wet one. It hit and almost stuck on his face. Link came over and tossed a couple.
"ATTICUS LINCOLN." Amelia giggled and grabbed an almost handful and tossed it at him.
"AMELIA SHEPHERD." Link teased mimicking her motion.
Amelia eventually grabbed the bowl with two hands and tossed the entire thing onto him.
"YOU ARE KIDDING ME." Link burst out laughing.
"What?" Amelia teased innocently.
Link picked up his bowl and dumped it over Amelia's head.
"Oh my god, you asked for it now." Amelia grabbed the raspberries out the fridge.
She threw one at Link just for him to catch it in his mouth.
"You try." Link said grabbing the blueberries.
He picked one up in his fingers and launched it towards Amelia only for it to bump her straight on the nose.
"Try it again." Amelia groaned.
"Okay." Link joked throwing another.
And another and another.
"I will get it soon I promise." Amelia laughed.
"Sure you will." Link said turning around.
When he turned around Amelia jumped on his back.
"Wow where did Amelia go?" Link said shocked.
Amelia didn't make a sound. She bit her lip to keep herself from laughing.
"I just saw her." Link said.
Amelia tightened her grip on him. He walked through the kitchen and living room.
"Well I mean she probably had to go practice catching blueberries in her mouth. She isn't very good." Link teased.
"HEY." Amelia hit him playfully on the chest.
"I think.. I FOUND HER." Link said bringing her to stand in front of him.
"I love you." Amelia smiled.
"I love you too." Link kissed her.
"You taste like sweet milk." Amelia laughed.
"Well I wonder what caused that." Link laughed.

Amelia and Link were curled up on the couch watching a movie.
"Why do we have to watch this movie?" Link groaned.
"Because I like it." Amelia said.
"It's a kids movie." Link laughed.
"Frozen will never not be good." Amelia said pouting.
Link just laughed as he watched Amelia belt out the lyrics to every song and just enjoy herself.
"You know you're pretty cute." Link tapped her nose.
"You too." Amelia giggled.
"But seriously if I hear Let It Go one more weekend in a row I might have to move out." Link said.
"You wouldn't move out because you're in love with. You wouldn't leave me." Amelia said.
"Very true. You are everything I dreamed of." Link said.
"Oh yeah, what did you dream of?" Amelia
laughed.
"Someone to love, have cereal food fights and watch movies with." Link smiled.
"Well you make me feel safe and loved and appreciated." Amelia snuggled into Link's arms.
"Do you ever want to have a baby? Not right now but ever?" Link asked.
"After Christopher I'm scared to get pregnant again but with you I've definitely considered it." Amelia said honestly.
"Really?" Link said.
"Yeah for sure, I can kinda picture spending the rest of my life with you." Amelia said subtly.
"Well if it makes you feel better. Im going to marry you one day. And we will have two kids." Link said.
"Two?" Amelia laughed.
"Yeah, a boy and a girl. A mini me and a mini you." Link smiled.
"I like that idea." Amelia said.
"I dreamed of a life like this with you." Link whispered as Amelia fell into sleep.
"Mhm." Amelia mumbled sleepily.
"I love you." Link kissed her head.
"I love you too." Amelia said half asleep.
