"Where are you heading?" Link asked as he watched his girlfriend get dressed. It was her day off and recently all she wanted to do was stay home and sleep, as she was nervously anticipating their sons arrival.
"A meeting." She responded, running a brush through her unkempt hair.
"Not that there's anything wrong with it, but you've been going to a lot of meetings recently. Is everything okay?" He asked sitting up on his elbows in their bed.
"Yeah, I mean I'm nervous for the baby and all. This whole time I was thinking if I can just make a healthy baby it'd all be fine, but that's not where it ends, you know?" Link nodded his head in agreement, the whole length of her pregnancy so far he'd been a nervous wreck, which was very uncharacteristic of him. "And my friend Louise, it's her first time going to meetings in a while and she lost her sponsor, so now I'm her sponsor I guess."
"That's good." Link smiled, admiring his girlfriend. "Be careful though, I don't want you overexerting yourself. We don't want our little guy coming too soon."
"I'm not going to overexert myself." She sighed, her boyfriend was very protective of her since they found out about her pregnancy. It was comforting for Amelia since she didn't have that the last time, but it was also stressful having him breathing down her neck every other minute. "I'll be home after dinner." She smiled as she went back to kiss him before she left.

"I promised." Link sighed throwing down his screwdriver to his side.
"I doubt she'll even notice if it's an IKEA chair." Meredith rolled her eyes as she sat on the picnic bench in her backyard. Link had asked if he could use her yard, so he could surprise her with it, and she wouldn't see him struggling.
"I promised I'd build her a rocking chair, I want to do this."
"You may want to, but can you actually do it?"
"I can." The man huffed as he looked back on the blueprints he drew up. "If I can put bones back in place for a living I can definitely build a rocking chair."
"Whatever you say." Meredith smirked as she took a sip of lemonade.
"Are you just gonna sit there or are you gonna help me?" Meredith seemed to consider this and assured him she was going to be no help and walked back inside. He then picked up his phone and clicked on the contact he was looking for.

"Three donuts already." Louise sarcastically said as she walked up to the snack table after the meeting.
"And what is that your third coffee?" Amelia playfully bit back, as she wiped her face of the donut powder.
"Want to head down to the coffee shop down on the corner?"
"Oh so I can watch you drink coffee and I'm stuck with hot chocolate."
"Precisely." Louise smiled, the pair then walked down the street in the light rain. Once the two were sat down at the booth in the coffee shop and had ordered them had started up with conversation again. "So how are you feeling?"
"Hey, I'm your sponsor. I'm supposed to be asking those questions."
"You were pestering me that whole meeting, I should get a chance to check in on you. Is Atticus still bugging you?"
"He's just so restless." Amelia ran her finger over the rim of her mug. "I just want to sleep and all he wants to do is prepare."
"Roles seem reversed." Louise smirked, bringing the mug to her lips. "He's nesting and you're hibernating."
