*season seventeen spoilers ahead*
after last night's episode i had this idea, really hope it doesn't happen in the show tho lol
"Amelia?" Link called out, searching for his girlfriend. He had just finished putting the three oldest kids to bed, and hadn't seen his girlfriend since the meltdown at dinner. Bailey had asked when they could see their mother again, and Zola said probably never, which caused a lot of crying and yelling resulting in the baby waking up crying. He ended up having to remediate the situation while Amelia went to go take care of the baby, and he felt guilty because he didn't know if what he was saying to the kids was even true, he wanted to believe Meredith was going to be okay though. "What are you doing out here?"
"I um- I thought you were going to bed." Amelia stated flustered, sitting up on the picnic bench outside.
"Well, I will it's just you aren't in bed with me." Link laughed although he was confused, they always went to bed together.
"I'll be up soon." Amelia snapped.
"Umm okay? Hey are you okay? You seem off."
"Link I'm fine just leave me alone. I can never just get a damn minute to be alone."
"Oooooooooookay then." Link could tell his girlfriend was upset. He'd never seen her like this before, so he thought it'd be best to let her be on her own. He made his way inside, and quickly checked in on all the kids to make sure everyone was okay. He laid alone in bed for what felt like hours, until his girlfriend slowly opened the door.
"Oh your still up." Amelia slurred her s.
"Umm yeah." Link answered confused. He sat up so he was leaning against the headboard.
"We should have sex." Amelia excitedly said, jumping on the bed so she was straddling him.
"Are you okay?"
"I'll be a lot better when you actually have sex with me." Amelia sloppily kissed him, before he pushed her off of him.
"Are you drunk?" Link asked taken aback.
"I don't drink." Amelia giggled.
"I know, and you taste like wine."
"Maybe you taste like wine. Ever think about that?" Amelia spat, starting to get irritated with her boyfriend. "Why won't you just have sex with me?"
"Because your drunk." Link sat up, staring at his girlfriend in shock. "You realize we're responsible for four kids, we have to be present."
"Oh like you don't drink."
"I have a beer here and there. And I'm not getting intoxicated."
"Well last time I checked Im over the age of 21 and I can have a drink."
"Okay, but your a recovering addict. I'm not."
"Link, it was a small glass. It won't happen again. My problem was with drugs not booze, so I can handle a glass of wine."
"Okay, just call your sponsor first thing in the morning."
"If that'll make you feel better." Amelia smiled pulling him down so he was laying down next to her.
"Okay. I love you." Link kissed the top of his girlfriends head. One glass of wine wasn't the end of the world, or her sobriety. A glass of wine was barely anything, right?
