"You didn't think it would be a good idea to tell me my mother was in town?" Amelia halfway shouted at Meredith in the hallway near the daycare where they just dropped their kids off.
"Well, I got busy and it slipped my mind. I'm trying to get used to you not living in the house anymore, so you don't get all the information I have the minute I have it." Meredith defended herself losing her patience.
"Are you mad I moved out?" Amelia asked still mad about the whole situation.
"No, it's just an adjustment. I depended on you." Meredith was trying to deflect her true emotions, she really missed the neurosurgeon.
"I'll still help with the kids when I can. I'll always be there for them don't worry about that." Amelia tried to reassure her sister in law.
"I know, I just m-you know never mind I have surgery. And your mother will be at my house at 7 to have dinner you better be there." Meredith said as she walked away to go start her morning.
"Awww, were you going to say you missed me?" Amelia asked as Meredith walked away, a wave was the only thing she had gotten in return.

"Mils, there is a baseball game on tonight. I know your not the biggest fan of baseball, but I was thinking the three of us could watch together. You know Scouts first viewing experience of baseball. I mean it's nothing like when we take him to his first in real life game, but it should be a lot of fun!" Link enthusiastically said wrapping his arms around his girlfriend who was filling out a chart at the nurses station. Amelia placed the IPad into the charging slot and turned around in her boyfriends arms.
"I wish I could, but my mothers in town. So I have to go to Mer's to have dinner with her and the kids. Even though all I want to do is watch baseball with you and our baby." Amelia pouted.
"Oh, umm do you want me to go with you or?" Link questioned.
"No, no I already put you through enough with her."
"Amelia you know I don't feel that way." Link smiled at his girlfriend.
"I know, but I will tell her about you and Scout...eventually. But there is something I need to pick up from home so I'll come home with you two and feed Scout before I go over. Please put him to bed at a reasonable hour though."
"Deal-io" Link smiles kissing his girlfriend.

Amelia rummaged though the jewelry box that was under the bed she shared with her boyfriend. It was a mess, necklaces tangled together, loose earrings floating about, and broken bracelets. She really had to clean it out and organize it but this wasn't the time. Her hands then felt leather. It belonged to the watch her father owned many years ago. She shoved it into her pocket and made her way to the kitchen where her boyfriend was popping popcorn. She went up to him and kissed him.
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Link asked.
"I should be asking you that. You've never been alone with Scout a long period of time before?"
"We'll be just fine." Link reassured his girlfriend giving her another kiss. "Good Luck!" He shouted as she exited their apartment. He silently prayed everything would go ok between his girlfriend and her mother and that he would be able to handle Scout.
