Time skip Two Weeks! Kells is six months along and Ame is finally doing better.
--------------------------
"Looks like it's finally time for you to go home, Ame." Doctor Stump says after another one of  Amethyst's examinations. Ame's gray eyes light up and she looks over to where Alex and I are sitting, "Holy crap! For real?" She practically screams at the lab coat wearing doctor.
"Yes. But you'll still be visiting us to feed Ms. River. We'd like you to continue pumping of course and Alex you are more then welcome to come for a feeding so Ame can keep herself well rested."
"Thank you, Patrick." Alex said going to Amethyst's side. Patrick smiled and left the three of us alone, "Can you believe it?" Alex asked in shock and joy.
I smiled brightly from my place against the wall, I rested my hands softly on my growing baby bump and felt rather calm. Unfortunately the moment was ruined when my phone buzzed, I pulled it out of my jean pocket to see Oliver had messaged me.

O- I don't know where you've been but Josh wants your stuff outta the house where can I drop it off?

K- Ame and Alex's place. Just leave it on the steps thanks.

O- Whatever.

I sighed and put my phone away just in time to see Ame looking deeply at me from her place on the hospital bed.
"Who was that Kells?" She asked in her mom voice one she'd earned since River's birth.
"Oliver. We broke up, he's with some guy named Josh. He kicked me and he Babe out the day you got admitted, so he's gonna drop my stuff off at yours. It's cool if I stay there until I get a job and shit right?" I rambled for the first time since that morning talking about what happened. Amethyst's gray eyes went cold as she looked at me, Alex shook his head and then nodded, "Of course Kells. You and my Niece or Nephew are always welcome." I smiled and crossed the room to hug them.

Early the next morning Ame who wore just a tee of Alex's was happily wheeled out of the hospital to the car. With a bitter sweet joy the three of us headed to the beach house River on everyone's mind. We arrived and waiting in the drive where two cars both of which I recognized, Vic stood on the porch dressed a lot like Al and I in jeans and plain tee shirts, he smiled at me as the car came to a stop and Al helped Ame out.
"Good morning." He said with a cheery smile as I grabbed her bag.
"Morning Vicci!" Ame yelled as she gently crossed the yard to the door.
"Morning." I said as Alex and Ame disappeared inside, "Why are you here?" I asked even though I was very glad to see him.
"I heard from a night nurse that Ame would be coming home today and I thought River might need some clothes when she gets home so.." he trailed off holding up a stack of pink baby clothes his cheeks a little red.
"You're so sweet. But how'd you know she lives here?" I pushed.
"I live next door. My ex husband took the flat in the city and the night I was moving in Ame was rushed to the hospital."
"Oh!" I exclaimed taking the clothes just as the SUV door opened and Oliver step out in black shorts and a tank top. He pulled a box from the trunk and dropped in open end on the sandy drive, the small amount of baby clothes I'd purchased fell onto the dirt and tears threatened my eyes. The front door opened and without hesitation Amethyst's fist meet Oli's check, he lunged at Ame and Alex broke his nose. Vic pulled the two apart shoving Al inside and helping Ame into the porch, Oli drove away running over the baby clothes and my things as he went. Tears began to fall.
