"Link?" Amelia called.
"Yes?" Link asked from the kitchen.
"Have you seen my car keys?" Amelia asked walking into the kitchen and opening the jug of orange juice.
"I have not. Is Scout awake?" Link asked.
"Not yet. We have time." Amelia said pouring the orange juice into a glass.
"I thought you hated orange juice." Link laughed wrapping his arms around her from behind.
"I do. But your daughter loves it." Amelia chuckled.
"Well whatever Princess wants, Princess gets." Link ran his hand over Amelia's abdomen.
"You have to come up with a better nickname than Princess." Amelia laughed leaning her head onto Link's shoulder.
"Well we don't have a name for her yet. Because you shoot down all the names I like." Link joked.
"I just. Christopher was a boy and Scout was a boy. This is my first little girl and I want it to be perfect." Amelia said.
"She will be. She will be perfect like her Mama. But she needs a name." Link kissed her cheek.
"Whatever. I'll try to think of something." Amelia shrugged sipping her orange juice.
"Daddy?" Scout's small voice said sleepily.
"Hey bubba." Link picked up Scout.
"Mama." Scout reached out for Amelia.
"Hi Scout." Amelia smiled at her son.
"Baby." Scout pointed at Amelia.
"That right bubba Mama has a baby in her belly." Link ruffled Scout's hair.
"Don't forgot we have our 3D ultrasound today." Amelia smiled.
"Those things freak me out a little." Link teased.
"We get to see our little girl. It won't be freaky." Amelia laughed.
"Whatever you say." Link rolled his eyes playfully.

"Hey hey sorry I'm here." Link rushed into the exam room.
"It's okay. Carina's a little late too." Amelia laughed.
"Well that makes me feel a little better." Link smiled grabbing Amelia's hand.
"We get to see our little girl." Amelia smiled softly.
"Yeah. We do." Link kissed her cheek.
"Hey sorry I am late. Delivery was hectic." Carina said as she closed the exam door behind them.
"It's fine. I just got here anyways." Link laughed.
"Okay well once I check your BP and things like that we can have a look at this little girl." Carina said grabbing the blood pressure machine.
After taking Amelia's blood pressure and doing all the other things she did with every routine appointment, Carina began to apply the gel to Amelia's bump.
As the machine whirred to life and Carina moved the wand around. They could begin to make out certain features of their baby girl.
"Okay. There we are." Carina smiled as she turned the machine towards the parents.
"Oh my god." Amelia smiled tears beginning to fill her eyes.
"She's precious." Link kissed Amelia's forehead.
Amelia and Link watched as the baby moved around and as her tiny hand came up to her face.
"Is she waving at us?" Amelia laughed through her tears.
"I think she is." Link chuckled along with Amelia.
"She is. She hears your voices. She knows exactly who you guys are." Carina smiled as she began to print them pictures.
"And everything's okay?" Amelia asked a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"Perfectly fine. She is all textbook. Great neural development. Ten fingers, ten toes, strong heartbeat. You have one very perfect baby girl." Carina smiled as she handed Link the pictures.
-
"Scout baby you want to see a picture of your little sister?" Amelia smiled sitting on the couch.
"Yes." Scout babbled happily.
"Okay well thats her face. And then there's her hand." Amelia pointed on the ultrasound.
"Baby." Scout cheered.
"Yeah. That's the baby." Link smiled as he sat Scout in his lap.
"Girl?" Scout asked cutely.
"Yeah. It's a baby girl. She will be your little sister." Amelia kissed his cheek.
"Are you excited to have a little sister?" Link asked Scout.
"Yes." Scout nodded holding the ultrasound in his small hand.
"Do you love her?" Amelia ran her fingers through Scout's sandy blonde hair.
"I do love her." Scout said looking at the photo.
"She loves you." Amelia smiled.
"Can she hearded me?" Scout asked curiously.
"She can." Amelia said running a hand over her stomach.
"Hi baby." Scout said.
Scout looked at Amelia's bump as if he was waiting for a reply.
"She can't answer you back bubba. But I promise she heard her big brother." Amelia kissed his head.
