so in private practice violet wrote two books about her life and the practice and her first book and everyone was pretty pissed at her, so i had this idea i dunno if it makes a ton of sense but here you go!

"Thanks for helping me pack Maggie." Amelia smiled as she folded another sweater into the cardboard box.

"I really don't want to. We're gonna miss you around here." The other woman pouted.

"I know." Amelia shot a sympathetic smile to her. "But I think Link and I need our own space. Once this baby comes, no one is going to be too fond of us when he's crying his head off."

"No one would mind."

"You may not  mind, but the kids wouldn't get any sleep, and Meredith would say that she doesn't mind but would be passive aggressive."

"Okay, you maybe right, but we will miss you."

"I'll miss you guys too. I've been living with you guys since I moved to Seattle."

"Hmm." Maggie hummed as she went to her sisters closet and started folding the contents that were hung. "Your closet is such a mess." She complained as she pulled out the clothes.

"Sorry." Amelia chuckled as she moved to her bookshelf, and started bubble wrapping the picture frames. "Organization isn't quite my thing."

"Really? I never would of realized." The cardio surgeon sarcastically said. Once she cleared the hanging clothes she moved to the floor where she had her shoes, and started a new box for them. As she was about to stand up and takes things on the shelf she spotted in the corner of the closet, a box with two books on top of it, one labeled 'Beautiful Scars' and another 'Private Practice', she tentatively picked on up before Amelia realized.

"What are you doing?" Maggie was shocked by the change in her sisters demeanor, she was all bright and shiny before, and now it was like someone drained the life out of her.

"Just looking at these books." Amelia struggled to get up, but once she did she walked over to Maggie and grabbed the box and the books. "Looks interesting, could I read one."

"No." Amelia quickly said turning around to look at her. "I-it's just nothing you'd find interesting."

"Come on you know me, I'll read anything. Any book I see a basically need to read it." Maggie chuckled.

"Trust me you won't like it." She sighed as she placed the three items into the box that contained the items that were on her bookshelf.

"Ooooooookay then." Maggie could tell something was off, but decided to let it go for the moment. "I'm gonna start taking boxes down stairs." She smiled picking one up and making her way to the door. "And don't you dare pick one up."

"You think I could physically pick one up?" The neurosurgeon chuckled gesturing to her swollen abdomen. Once she was out of eyesight she turned around and ran her fingers to over the books and the box.

"Ready for me to take that one down?" Maggie asked, startling the other woman. She simply nodded and taped up the box, and stepped out of the way so it could be brought down stairs.

"Yeah, thanks Maggie."

"God Maggie, what happened?" Meredith asked as she spotted her sister browsing through Amazon.

"Huh?" The woman asked turning around the face the latter.

"You only go online shopping when something goes wrong in your life."

"Oh." Maggie chuckled, thinking back to when Jackson dumped her and 15 Amazon packages came to the house that week. "No, I'm just looking for some new books to read."
