"It's so good to see you." Amelia said as she hugged her mother.
"It's good seeing you too, and look at you, you look amazing for just having a baby."
"Oh come on, now let me take your bag." Amelia said as she tossed her mothers bag into the trunk of her car.
"Thanks for picking me up. It really wasn't necessary, I would've taken a bus." Carolyn said once Amelia got into the drivers seat.
"Mom, that's ridiculous. It's really no trouble."
"So I'm assuming my newest grandson and Link are back at your place?"
"Yeah, we were thinking of going over to Merediths for dinner. If that's alright with you."
"Of course, it's been too long since I've seen the kids and Meredith."
"Good, I know Zola will be excited to see you. She loves to show off all the tricks she's been teaching their dog." Carolyn smiled softly, Amelia assumed she was thinking about her late brothers love for dogs.

"Mrs Shepherd it's so good to see you again." Link smiled, offering his hand for her to shake.
"Nice seeing you as well Atticus. Please, call me Carolyn."
"Only if you call me Link." He said shooting her his charming smile.
"I think we can arrange that." Carolyn smiled, and then directed to her attention back to her daughter who came into the living room carrying her son. "And this must be my new grandson."
"Yep, this is Scout." Amelia said admiring the baby propped on her hip.
"May I?" Carolyn asked holding out her arms for the small child.
"Of course" Amelia carefully shifted the baby into her arms. Links pager then started to beep quickly. "Why are they paging you?"
"No idea." Link answered looking at the page. "I've gotta talk to the chief, she really needs to find another ortho surgeon who doesn't call in sick every other day. I'll meet you guys at Mer's."
"Okay see you there." Amelia pecked her boyfriends lips, before he raced out the door which she locked behind him.
"Does he get paged a lot?" Carolyn asked sitting down on the couch.
"I mean for him being on paternity leave, yeah. It's not his fault though, his fellow was supposed to take over his service, but he's working a new job and the other ortho surgeon is incompetent. Tom has been covering my service though."
"Grey-Sloan has become quite the hot spot, I can't imagine a better offering coming up to someone."
"He got a job as the Mariner's team doctor. Link set it up, they offered him his old job back but he recommended Nico instead."
"I hadn't realized Link had worked for the Mariners. I'm surprised he turned the job down."
"Yeah, well it's a lot of travel, and Scouts so little so he decided to stay at Grey-Sloan."
"Not a lot of men will let go of a job like that. Link seems like a really good man."
"He is, and he's so good to Scout. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, he's just so perfect." Amelia gushed, her boyfriend never ceases to amaze her with his kindness.
"So how has Scout's colic been."
"He's doing a lot better, he's starting to sleep through the night."
