randomly rewatching the amelink s18 finale scene and like. what the fuck do u mean link was ‘too cynical’ and the ‘world was too dark’ before scout ?!? his entire character back then was that he was instinctively optimistic. it was the basis for many scenes and several relationship conflicts. i know he had a couple of climate change related lines but come on now! the man has had more cynicism in his life in the time since that baby was born than in the rest of his adult life. he was nattering about fairytales giving kids false hope and families being ripped apart a mere 12 episodes beforehand. he was singing lullabies about failed proposals to an infant. he was telling everyone (including amelia) that he hated amelia and then going home and sobbing into his pillow until he fell asleep. i am not disputing that he loves being a dad and that scout got him through that heartbreak, but who are we fooling with that line. mr fucking brightside!

Prompt: when Amelia gives birth they find out the baby is actually a girl
Mix Up
A/N: Thank you for the prompt! I kind of wish they had a girl, if I'm honest :D It's a little short and maybe sucks a bit but I hope it's okay.
"Alright," Carina looks up at Amelia from where she was sat between her legs, "The heads out, I need you to give me one more big push."
"M'no I'm done. I can't do anymore." Amelia whines, breathlessly, her head lulling to the side to face Link.
Link leans forward to kiss her sweaty head and gives her hand a soft, reassuring squeeze, "You can do it babe, he's almost here. You'll get to hold our son in just a couple of minutes."
Amelia takes a deep breath, a stray tear falling down her face as she prepares herself for the incoming pain. She screams and squeezes Link's hand as a contraction hits and she starts pushing with all her remaining energy. Carina gives her encouragement while counting to ten for the last time as the baby makes its appearance.
"Okay, good job Amelia! Here he- Oh.." Carina stops mid-sentence causing panic to fly through Amelia, "Oh?"
"What do you mean 'Oh'?" she says frantically, her eyes wide as she looks at Carina before turning to Link, "Why did she say 'Oh'?!"
"I don't- Carina?" Link says, trying his best to hide the concern in his voice.
As if on cue, the baby's screams fit the room causing both of the new parents to sigh in relief for a split second before the concern settles in once more. Carina wraps a towel around the baby's back before lifting it over to Amelia.
"Congratulations, here is your healthy baby girl!" Carina smiles as she places the baby onto Amelia's chest.
"What? A baby what?" Link asks, looking over at Amelia as she's staring down at the baby in her arm, confusion across both of their faces, "But, the ultrasound said-"
"It happens sometimes. You only had one ultrasound during your pregnancy so I may have just misread if there was something in the way." Carina explains to the parents, smiling softly at Amelia as she cries and holds her baby against her chest, "But, she is perfectly healthy, just like I said."
Amelia smiles up at Link, who's eyes are shiny from his tears, before looking back down to the small baby in her arms. The cries at stopped as soon as she had been placed on her Mom's chest. Amelia watches in wonder as the baby wriggles gently, offering her finger to the tiny fist reaching out to her. Amelia's tears only fall harder as the baby wraps her small fingers around her bigger one.
Everything about her is perfect. Her smooth, creamy complexion. Her big, wide, beautiful eyes, that you can't quite tell the color of yet, although she'd probably take after both of her parents blue ones. The small amount of dark brown hair she had covering her head. Her perfectly pouted lips that complemented her squishy cheeks. Her ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes. The sweet little noises she was making that were melting her parents hearts.
"We have a daughter." Link smiles at Amelia, leaning in and placing a hand over where hers lies on their newborn's back.
"Weeee have a daughter." Amelia laughs, still in shock as her eyes stay fixed on the baby in her arms. She pauses for a moment before her head snaps to look at Link, eyes wide, "Oh. My. God. We have a daughter!"
Link laughs, "I know, I still can't quite believe it myself."
"No, Link. We have a daughter." Amelia's tone turns to a stern one as he's not quite picking up what she's getting at, "We have a daughter and she has nothing."
Before Link has a chance to say anything, in true Amelia fashion, she begins spinning out, "We didn't have any girl names. Everything we have, all the blankets, the crib sheets, the stuffed animals... they're all blue. And sure, she can wear blue, gender's just a construct anyway and we do have some neutral clothes but I'd like her to at least have some identifying objects... babies all look the same and if we constantly dress her in blue and give her blue blankets, everyones gonna think she's a boy when they first see her and I want her to be whoever she wants to be but I don't want that to confuse her from day one. Ive probably already confused her, I've been saying he and him every time I talked about her when I was pregnant..."
"Amelia. Amelia, babe. Calm down please." Link says, trying to hide his smile. When Amelia got on one, she went for it. "I promise, I will go and get her whatever you want her to have. When we get home, you and her can lay in bed and I will go through everything we have and you can decide whether we want to use it for her or not."
Link squeezed her shoulder comfortingly and placed a kiss on her head. It didn't quite stop her in her tracks as she continued, "God, and she's a girl so of course she's inevitably going to hate me when she gets into her teenage years. I mean, I was an awful teenager, I put my Mom through hell. Oh god, this is gonna be my karma isn't it? She's going to hate me and-"
"Amelia, hey." Link interrupts, "She is not going to hate you. Look," he points down to where the small girl had her first tightly wrapped around Amelia's finger and her calm face pressed against her Mom's chest, "She loves you. You're her Mom... And the best one she could've asked for." Amelia pouts at him, "Thank you. And thank you for being here, I wouldn't of gotten through that without you."
"Of course, anything for my girls." he smirks and nudges her shoulder gently before looking down at their baby once again.
Link moves his hand from the baby's back and strokes her cheek with his thumb softly, "You're gonna be a Daddy's girl, huh."
"Oh come on, she already has you wrapped around her finger." Amelia smiles as she watches the baby's eyes follow Link. Quiet coos start coming from the baby, "See. She knows it too."
"I can't believe we have a daughter. She's beautiful, just like her Mama." Link smiles, leaning in and placing a soft kiss on Amelia's lips.
Amelia smiles back, her eyes still teary, "I'm still in shock a little bit. I can't believe how perfect she is, and she's all ours."
Link pulls her closer, one arm around Amelia, one around their baby. He smiles down at her as her eyes flutter open, "Mommy and Daddy love you so much little girl."

Take A Chance On Me- Part 1.
A girl with brown straight hair and hazel eyes sat in the office of the head master in Children’s Home of Washington.
She was 15 and what the staff of the orphanage would say is past the age of anyone ever adopting you. Most workers at the home couldn’t stand her. For reasons she absolutely knew, but could care less about.
“Florence?” The head master’s voice interrupted the music playing through the earbuds as Florence annoyingly sat up.
“Yes?” Florence forced a fake smile, as she took the music out of her ears placing it on the bed.
“Surprisingly there is a family here that wants a teenager for some reason. You happen to be alphabetically first on our list, so get up and put something nice on.” Headmaster Lawrence instructed, turning on her high heels and walking out of the large bedroom Florence was in with the other girls.
Did we also mention the home Florence found herself in also doubled as a school? Lovely wasn’t it.
Florence reluctantly rolled off the bed and opened the trunk at the foot. Pulling out orange corduroy pants, a black shirt sleeve shirt that resembled a turtle neck at the top, and black platform leather boots.
Florence tied her hair into a dutch braid down her back and placed the various vintage rings she owned onto her fingers as she shoved her phone into her pocket and ran to the staircase.
She met Mrs. Lawrence at the bottom adjusting her posture, raising her dark eyebrow for approval.
“You could have chosen something more lady like, you need to make sure these people want you.” Mrs. Lawrence said before walking towards the office prompting Florence to follow her.
“Lady like my ass.” Florence grumbled, her hazel eyes rolling as she trudged behind Mrs. Lawrence the sound of her boots hitting the old wood.
“Okay Dr. Lincoln, Dr. Shepherd this is Florence. She’s 15, a phenomenal student and quite the personality.” Mrs. Lawrence spoke to Amelia and Link as Florence entered placing her ringed hands into her pockets.
“Hi.” Amelia smiled, Link’s hand resting over hers as they sat in the office chairs.
“Hey.” Florence spoke, receiving a stern look from Mrs. Lawrence due to the fact she didn’t hold her hand out for them.
“I will leave you 3 be, I’m outside if you need anything.” Mrs. Lawrence gave a fake smile, that Florence saw directly through as she closed the door.
“So your name is Florence. Can I ask where it came from?” Amelia asked, smiling kindly as Florence sat in the desk across from the two adults.
“The city. I was named after the city in Italy.” Florence said proudly. She had always admired her name, it was different and it made her special.
“That’s cool. Well I’m Link and this is Amelia. So tell us anything about you or ask us anything.” Link said wrapping his arm around Amelia.
Dear god help me. Florence thought to herself, this was the most cliche thing she had ever seen. Like they were too in love for it to be normal.
“Why do you want me?” Florence bluntly asked, her leg crossed as she leaned into the large chair behind her.
“Excuse me?” Amelia chuckled, not quite sure what Florence meant and not wanting to hurt her feelings.
“Like no one asks for kids over the age of probably 6 here and I’m 15 so what on this green earth would make you guys want me?” Florence chuckled, fidgeting with one of the glass rings on her fingers.
“Well we already have a baby. And we recently got told we might not be able to have anymore kids of our own so we looked into adoption. You were the first child they placed us with and we just thought you sounded interesting.” Amelia shrugged, the dimple in her cheek visible as she spoke.
“Okayyy then. Well about myself. My parents died in a fire, so here I am. My favorite music artist is ABBA or anything from the 70’s. I like to read Jane Austen and I like to paint and draw.” Florence said, her eyebrow raised as she spoke.
“That’s cool. I told Amelia when you walked in that your outfit was really neat.” Link smiled, Florence instantly having to hold in her laughter of being called “neat”.
“Thanks. I appreciate that. So you have a baby?” Florence asked, walking around to sit on the desk.
“Yes. Scout hes about 7 months.” Amelia said pulling out her phone to show Florence. Florence leaned forwards smirking at the photo.
“Cute. So why exactly would you want a teenager with a baby? You’ll experience his teenage years eventually.” Florence asked, no attitude in her voice just genuine question.
Florence was enjoying herself, if Mrs. Lawrence was in with her then she would have gotten a talking to about her ruining her chances of being adopted by this very nice family.
“You seemed appealing. I have a niece a few years younger than you and I’ve fostered a teenager before and I enjoyed it.” Amelia said, not going to mention to Florence that Betty was also a drug addict, teen mother that she fostered.
“Is that a tattoo?” Link asked, noticing the black writing on the part of Florence’s arm a little below the side of her wrist.
“Oh yeah, kind of.” Florence chuckled running her fingers over the ink on her wrist.
“What does it say?” Amelia asked as Florence flashed her wrist toward Amelia.
“Divine, my darling. My mother used to tell me that.” Florence said, her eyebrows raising.
Mrs. Lawrence came back in causing Florence to look at her with an annoyed face.
“I hate to interrupt but theres another family here to speak to Florence it seems so-“ Mrs. Lawrence said as she picked up Florence’s file.
“No need. We loved her. Where do we sign?” Link smiled, causing Florence’s mouth to fall to the floor.
“Oh I’ll get the papers and well Miss Florence, you can go collect your things.” Mrs. Lawrence said in surprise, Florence slowly nodding and walking out of the room.
Her mind was confused, why on earth would a couple with a baby want a random teenager in an orphanage.

Can you just do something with amelink and donuts please? It can be anything tbh but I need to see more amelink and donuts in my life
Needs - cranked this one out super quick for ya. hope u enjoy :)
Link awoke to a little moan of pain for the third time on this particular night. He rolled over to find Amelia curled up in a ball, her eyes squeezed into tiny slits and her brow furrowed.
“Another one?” His voice was thick with exhaustion.
“It hurts,” she managed to get out. Link sighed sympathetically, moving to run his fingers down her lower abdomen.
“Chill out little man.” He shook his head, in disbelief about how close they were to meeting him. “Have you gotten any sleep?” Amelia shook her head, relaxing slightly as the braxton hicks began to leave her system.
“He’s restless,” she mumbled, stretching uncomfortably and rolling over, allowing him to press his chest into her back and wrap his arms around her waist. They found themselves in this position more and more as Amelia’s bump had grown, as it was pretty much the only cuddling position she could find comfort in.
“I heard Bailey finally banned you from the hospital,” he teased. The chief of surgery had been trying to keep Amelia from operating for weeks now and finally succeeded when she mistook her braxton hicks for actual contractions.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” she answered, with a hint of resentment. It hadn’t just been Bailey tying to keep Amelia from working. It seemed like everyone, especially her sisters, had something to say about her inability to take time off. His girlfriend’s small proportions looked almost comical with a baby bump this size, at times it almost looked like gravity would give in and she’d just topple over. This was all Link’s fault, obviously, according to Amelia and she refused to carry one of his big ass babies ever again. Her words not his. It was when she had to start wearing Link’s scrub tops to work that the teasing from her sisters really began. And while Amelia laughed it off for the most part, Link couldn’t help but notice the tiny bit of insecurity behind her smile. “If anything Bailey’s just paying us extra for a maternity leave that I’m absolutely fine with shortening.” Link chuckled at her stubbornness, through the featherlike kisses he was placing on her neck.
“Maybe she was just tired of waiting twenty minutes for you to get to the OR floor.”
“Rude,” Amelia scoffed. “I’m not that slow.”
“You’re absolutely right,” Link replied with a grin. “And it’s definitely not because you kept paging the head of orthopaedic surgery 911 to an on call room for sex at least once a day.”
“I only paged you once during surgery by mistake!” She exclaimed defensively. “All the other times were when you weren’t busy. I can’t help the hormones or the fact that you walk around the hospital making eyes at me like a sex god.”
“I do not make eyes at you,” he laughed.
“You do! It’s like that psychological test thing where they put marshmallows in front of kids and told them not to eat them.”
“Am I supposed to be the marshmallow in this situation?” Link teased.
“No, you’re ten times better than a marshmallow and it’s distracting,” she groaned, rolling back over to face him. “And being your baby mommy,” he raised his eyebrows, “only I’m allowed to use that name,” she confirmed, “it’s your job to satisfy the hormones that you caused.”
“Oh, babe, I think I do more than satisfy,” he winked, playing with the neckline of her tank top and grinning as her cheeks turned an adorable shade of pink.
“Well, right now the baby wants donuts.” She shrugged. Link groaned, glancing at their alarm clock which read 4:43 am.
“Are you kidding?”
“Nope,” she replied, popping the p with her slightly swollen lips that he really wished were on his. “Henry’s is open.”
“Amelia, you need to sleep,” he complained, tugging the duvet up to her chin.
“Really? Because it seemed like you were up for something that doesn’t involve sleeping,” she replied innocently.
“No but that’s,” he sputtered, “that’s completely different. You wouldn’t have to--”
“Link, we’re getting donuts.” She confirmed simply. “Put some pants on and hurry up.”
                                                        [][][]
Although Link was hoping to continue being grumpy in response to her practically dragging him out of bed, he couldn’t help but grin at the happiness, resulting from being in the car on the way to getting donuts at 5am, that was radiating from Amelia. She was practically dancing in her seat as they pulled up to the drive thru.
“What do you want?” He asked, trying to hide his amusement.
“What do you think?” She responded with a shrug.
“Can I get a 12 pack of assorted donuts?” Link sighed into the speaker.
“And a coffee, please?” Amelia added softly.
“And a sm--”
“Medium,” she interrupted.
“Sorry, medium decaf coffee.” She didn’t seem to enjoy that too much. “Hey, don’t complain and eat your donuts,” he chuckled as he handed her the white cardboard box. That received a smile. Amelia took a small bite, sighing with satisfaction and leaning back against the leather seat of the car. This sight did not help Link’s current horniness in any way. “Can you chill with the donut orgasm a bit?” He grumbled.
“Jealous, babe?” She teased, holding it out for him to take a bite. “Come on, this is the closest thing you’re getting to a fantasy tonight.” He gave in, letting her stuff the entirety of it inside his mouth.

Dear Baby Boy,
    Well here we are another day waiting for you. I’m nervous to be your father but I love you very much. I love your mommy very much. Honestly I am also afraid if you don’t like me. But I know you are just a baby but I have all these fears for you. Your Grandparents Maureen, and Eric are excited for your arrival. I’m sorry that we don’t have a settled name for you. 
    Mommy likes Austin, Joesph, Tyler, and Jacob. Daddy likes Scout, Michael, Alex, or even Luke. But your name will come to us as soon as you come into this world. Auntie Meredith has so many toys for you that your cousin Bailey had when he was a baby. Even your Aunt Maggie got you some new toys for you to enjoy.        I hope you like racecars, because that is what we decorated your nursery with. Most boys love racecars, and trucks. We also have a cat his name is Whiskers but he is a kind cat. Mommy wants to get a puppy but I think thats later down the road. But I guess you get the gist is that we are excited for you and we really want to meet you. 
    We love you very much Baby Boy and we can’t imagine our lives without you. Mommy and I are nervous for your arrival but we are excited to meet you. 
Much Love, 
Daddy (Atticus Lincoln)

How To Save A Life Pt 2
*In the OR* Owen POV
"We've definitely got some new bleeding." I say whislt trying to remove the packs from link's stomach as I'm doing so Richard begins to speak "Remove the abdominal packs carefully they may be stuck." he says.
I nod whislt removing them ensuring that I'm careful "irrigation" I ask the scrub nurse.
After a few minutes Maggie walks in "flip on the echo. I'm gonna go up through the groin. Parker I need you to assist. She says looking at the intern she then looks down at Link and then to a scrub nurse beside her. "Catheter." she states whilst prepping the area, she reaches for the catheter and begins the procedure. "It's going in easy so get the T. E. E ready." She says to Parker.
He hands her the T. E. E "I've got access. Balloon is advanced. Extra stiff guidewure, please." She reaches her hand out and Parker hands her the wire, she inserts it whislt staring at the echo machine "Okay, the occluded in turn on the doppler."
"Minimal VSD flow." Parker adds
Maggie sighs "Good. Then we're done here, pulling out."
"I've still got active bleeding coming from somewhere" I say frustrated
"Okay, let's recheck the retro peritoneum" Meredith says
"Clamp and give me a tie, please" I say holding my hand out
"No hang on" Webber says "I got a lumbar vein avulsed in the vena cava. Two allis clamps."
The monitors suddenly start beeping "Idioventricular rhythm." Parker shouts
"What?!" I yell
Bailey looks up at the monitors "Pressures down. 55 systolic. Push one of atropine" She states
"CVP and pulmonary artery pressures just went up." Meredith informs us
"It might be an air embolus" Maggie says staring at the monitors
"alright" replies Richard "pull back on the PA catheter"
"Yeah, and hang more FFP and factor VII" I say sternly
"but we've already replaced his entire blood volume" the nurse informs me
The monitors then start beeping eratically "We're losing him" states Meredith
Maggie walks closer to Link "starting cardiac massage, push one of epi!"
She's massaging the heart when she yells "Find whatever is bleeding and shut it down"
"How about an amp of bicarb?" Bailey asks
"No" replies Maggie "Push 3 of epi and another atropine"
I'm trying to find where this bleed is coming from when I hear Maggie talking to Link "come on, fight! You can't leave her Link. Fight come on!" she's beginning to say it louder now "FIGHT!" she sounds defeated but after a moment the monitors start to beep steadily
"There it is. He's coming back." says Webber reassuringly
"Systolic 70 and rising" Meredith adds
I take a deep breath "I've got it. the bleeding is controlled"
"ICPs stable for now" Bailey says
"Let's get him up to the ICU and monitor him closely"
Amelia POV
I'm in the ICU staring at Link "We've done everything we can we just need to wait for him to wake up." Maggie says whilst hugging me "Koracick is going to come up shortly to do a neuro check" I dont reply instead I just nod "are you okay?" she asks. I can feel the water forming in my eyes and I shake my head, a tear falls and I let out a sob Maggie just holds me, I can see Jo and Meredith talking about something further down the corridor I would normally ask what it is their talking about but on this occasion I already know.
After a while I pull away from Maggie's embrace and I go to sit beside Link. I hold his hand so he knows I'm here, I don't say anything though I just sit there in silence. I was sitting with him for about an hour when Jo turned up "hey" she said upon opening the door "is it okay if I come in? I brought coffee." she tells me.
I just nod and reply with a quiet "thank you" she sits beside Link and holds his hand "it's hard to see him like this, he's always been the strong one you know?" she doesn't look at me, she just keeps her attention on her best friend "it's weird cause when I was with Paul I didn't see Link at all but he was always there you know. I mean he wasn't there but I knew if I needed him he'd be there for me, I can't explain it he's my-"
"He's your person." I say cutting her off
She looks at me confused  "He's what Alex was to Meredith before he left. He's your person" I smile sincerely
She looks like she wants to speak but I stop her "it's okay, Link would say you're his person too. Maggie's my person" I smile
Jo smiles too. After a moment, Tom and Owen walk in "Shepherd, I'm gonna do a neuro exam, okay" he tells me
I just nod and let him do his job. After a while, he checks the monitor and looks towards Owen "His brain waves are slow and irregular"
Jo looks up with hope in her eyes "So does that mean that with time he could--"
I cut her off "No. He's gone, he's not gonna wake up" I say coldly just staring at Link.
"We don't know that Amelia" Owen says
"I'm a neurosurgeon, you can't sugar coat it for me. It's very unlikely that he will wake up from this" I say firmly, wiping away my tears
"Unlikely." Tom says "there's still a chance that he could wake up"
"Even if he does, there could be too much damage" I tell him
"We won't know that until he wakes up"
"If he wakes up" I say. I look around the room and everyone in it, I decide I can't sit here anymore and stand up from my seat "I need some air" I say leaving the room.
Jo POV
Amelia walks out of the room and I have the urge to go follow her but my body doesnt move I just stay put and hold on even tighter to Links hand. I look at Owen and Tom and give them a weak smile "thanks" I whisper.
The two men nod their heads and leave me alone with my best friend. I turn to look at Link and smile "you need to wake up you know." I tell him
"Amelia doesn't want to admit it but she needs you, we all need you. What would we do without our Ortho-God?" I chuckle to myself "I'm gonna tell you something that'll put a smile on your face - well it would if you could hear me" I say smiling "I spilled coffee over Mrs Peterson on purpose, I know you always wondered but it's true I did!" I can feel his judgement "she was the most annoying customer though Link! She was an ungrateful cow - you can't deny it!! It didn't work anyway though did it cause I had to pay for her dry cleaning with my tips" I sigh. "please wake up and come back I can't lose you too" I say my voice breaking.
Owen POV
Soon it's nightfall and everyone is waiting for a sign that Link will wake up - we are all together standing in his room. Amelia is sitting beside him with her head rested against his bed, Jo is sitting across from her with her head in her hands, Meredith and Maggie are just pacing back and forth and I'm standing with my back pressed against the wall. The night goes by and there's still nothing, he doesn't seem to be showing any signs of improvement.
It's morning now and myself, Bailey and Jo are standing in front of the nurses station waiting for Koracick to finish his neuro exam. The doors open and he walks over to us "We're giving Amelia the room" he says solemnly
"Did you see anything?" I question
He just shakes his head and looks down, I take a deep breath and lean my head back.
"That's okay though right, cause he's gonna come back from this. He's gonna wake up right? He has to wake up, there's still time isn't there? I mean there's still time--" Jo says it with such urgency in her voice that it breaks my heart, she just wants her friend back.
Tom cuts her off but he doesn't answer her question directly instead he replies with " I know Shepherd is his family but has anyone called his parents? "
Jo immediately starts to sob "oh god" she says between breaths and she rests her head against the countertop.
Bailey looks up and simply tells everyone "I'll do it".
Amelia's gonna lose the love of her life I think to myself knowing I can't help her.
Amelia POV
I sit and stare at Link. He looks so peaceful yet he doesn't look like himself. That's probably because he's battered and bruised but somehow after everything he has gone through he looks at peace. I give him a smile and gently press my lips against his hand. I can feel the water forming in my eyes and I sense my voice quavering.
"Baby, please wake up." I say trying to hold back my tears "we need you, the little peanut misses his daddy and I miss him too" the tears escape me and voice breaks "I love you, you know, I'm in love with you and I can't lose you too. Every man I've ever loved has died but please don't follow in everyone else's footsteps please survive." I take a moment to gather myself "please just wake up Link. Please fight. Please, please" I keep repeating those words and I gently rest my head on top of his hand when suddenly I feel his fingers move.
My head shoots up and I look down at my hand - his fingers have gently wrapped around mine. I sigh and suddenly the tears that are streaming down my face are no longer sad ones they're happy tears. I smile and look over to the love of my life and I see his bright blue eyes staring back at me. "hey" I say softly
He looks like he's trying to say something but I stop him "don't fight the intubation, I'm gonna go get someone, okay" he nods slowly and I leave the room to find someone.
Link POV
Amelia runs out of the room and moments later she returns with an army of surgeons. Koracick walks over to me and asks me to follow his finger - he then completes my neuro exam. Throughout I watch Amelia, I see her smile growing wider and wider and I see her breath a sigh of relief when Maggie embraces her "He's okay" I hear her whisper.
"Okay. Nice reflexes Link. Looking good." Koracick tells me whilst updating my chart
I turn my head to the side to see Jo sobbing "I'm okay, Jo" I chuckle
"I know, I just thought I'd lost you" She says between sobs
I'm about to say something but then I hear Amelia's voice getting closer "We all thought we lost you" She sighs. She strokes the side of my face and breathes "thank you for coming back to me"
I smiled at her softly "I'll always come back to you" I kissed her hand gently.
"I love you" she said whilst pressing her lips against mine
"I love you too" I say as we pull away
"So when can I see my boy?" I ask eagerly
Amelia laughs "I'll go get him okay" she turns on her heels and walks past everyone standing in the room and exits.
I look at all the people surrounding me "thank you"
"for what?" asks Meredith
"For saving me" I say
"we should be thanking you" says Meredith
I furrow my brows "for what?"
"for not giving up" Maggie sighs
I shake my head "No, thank you for bringing me back to the woman I love and to my son, I can't thank you all enough"
"we wouldn't have it any other way" Owen says with sincerity.
I look over to Jo who is still sobbing "Jo, I'm okay" I laugh. She still continues to cry though "I know something that'll make you smile" I say cheekily.
She looks at me confused
"I heard what you said" I laugh
"What?" she questions
"I knew you didn't spill coffee on her by accident"
Her eyes widen and she falls back into her chair "you heard that?!" she grimaces
"every last word" I laugh
She starts laughing too as does everyone else in the room, then I hear the door open revealing the love of my life and my baby boy.
I can feel a smile growing on my face "Hi buddy!" I say excited
Amelia walks over to me with our son rested against her hip, she reaches for his hand and starts talking in a baby voice "Hey daddy, hello" she says. I laugh.
She walks closer to me and I reach my hand out to touch my sons arm. Amelia leans in closer so I can kiss his head, she doesn't let me hold him though, I'm not strong enough - not yet.
"are you okay baby? Is he okay?" I ask looking at Amelia
She nods "He's okay, Link" she tells me reassuringly "you've just got a few bruises haven't you buddy but you're strong just like your daddy, aren't you" she says pulling faces towards our son. I laugh.
She looks at me "He's still got a vomiting bug though"
My brows furrow "oh no, you still sick bud?" I ask him knowing he won't answer.
"Okay." Amelia sighs "I'm gonna take him back, I don't like him seeing you covered in all these wires, I'll be back shortly alright?" she says, whilst leaning my son closer to me so I can kiss him goodbye
"okay" I smile "bye buddy!" I say waving goodbye to my son.
When Amelia returns everyone says their goodbyes so we can spend some time together. When we are alone she asks me the question.
"What happened, Link?" she asks
I look at her concerned "I'm sorry, he was crying and I took my eyes of the road for a second and bang, I don't know what else to say. But I'm glad he's okay, I couldn't live with myself if anything bad happened to him"
"I'm just glad you're both alive, you had me worried there" she says sadly
"I'm sorry for putting you through that, you didn't deserve it." I say reaching out for her hand, she takes it "I love you so much" I add
She looks at me and smiles "I love you so much"
I'm just happy to be here - alive, sitting with the woman I love, there's nothing I want more than the two of us to be together whether it's in this life or another.
Amelia slowly climbs in my bed, assuring that she doesn't adjust any wires, she gently rests her head against my chest and takes a deep breath in. I rest my arm against her shoulder and everything feels fine. I feel safe. Suddenly all the hurt and pain I was feeling vanishes all because I'm with the love of my life and I couldn't be happier.
"I love you, Amelia Shepherd" I say pressing my lips against her forehead
"I love you, Atticus Lincoln"
(Hope you enjoyed this, it was just a little idea I had. Thank you to all of you who are reading my stories, liking them and commenting - it really means alot, thank you)

People were expecting them to mention Amelia’s previous birth last episode and while it’s fair to have expected that, it’s not unrealistic that it wasn’t. It makes sense that she’d want to live the experience to the fullest since she wasn’t able to the first time.
During her first labor she was grieving, she was thinking she was having a baby that was gonna be taken away from her and taken apart for his organs. It was traumatic and she was thinking about everything but the actual labor itself.
This time it is a new experience. Her baby is healthy and she won’t have just a few minutes with him. The father of her baby is there, she’s happy and she gets to experience the whole thing without other stuff wheigthing on her mind. It makes sense that her body would react differently and that she’d feel stuff differently.
And it also makes sense that she wouldn’t want to keep wallowing on that loss in this moment.
They covered the subject of Christopher early on both when she was deciding if she wanted to keep this baby and when she was scared of having an ultrasound (even going back to when she and Owen were raising Leo together and she realized she didn’t have to be scared of motherhood). There’s no need to keep dragging it on and mentioning it every single time there’s a scene related to her pregnancy.

will never understand why Link told Amelia he wanted more children when he was already a dad of 4????? (then 5 kids when Luna was born)
link’s toxic trait: obsessed with being a dad

hi do u think you could write one of amelia working from home (set during covid) so while she looks at scans or other things she also needs to take care of scout and tend him please
Busy Day
A/N: Thank you for the prompt. For the purpose of this prompt, Meredith's kids are else where. There's not too much going on and it's a little on the short side but I hope you like it!
"Okay buddy," Amelia smiles down at her son as he lays on her bed while she finishes buttoning his onesie, "It's just you and me today."
4-month-old Scout looks up and gurgles happily, kicking his little legs around in an attempt to remove his socks. Amelia giggles softly at his cuteness as she reaches down, sliding her hands under him and lifting him onto her chest. The baby settles his head onto her shoulder as Amelia rocks gently from side to side, "Daddy's at work so it's just us. You're dressed and fed and now Mommy's gotta get ready because she's got a few consults today so I need you to be good for me, okay?
After her first consult, Amelia had been sent some scans to review. She was sat on the couch with her computer open in front of her on the coffee table and Scout sat up against her chest.
"And right here," Amelia points to the enlarged brain scan on the screen, "is the frontal lobe. It's used for problem solving and organising and decision making."
Amelia cocks her head to the side and smiles down at the baby in her lap. She bounces him gently on her knees and strokes his hair softly.
"And if you look right here... there is the nasty little tumor that Mama has to remove." her baby voice starts to creep in as she reaches the end of her sentence while she takes hold of Scout's small hands and softly shakes them in the air, "Right now, the tumor is making the patient is experiencing problems with his memory and impulse control which, isn't good for him... or for anyone really. So, Mama has to get it out of his brain soon."
Scout starts giggling happily as Amelia bounces him around on her knee once more, "You like brains baby? They're cool, huh."
"You gonna be a neurosurgeon like your Mommy?" Scout turns his head to look up at Amelia's face as she spoke, a sweet little smile appearing on his face as he babbles, "It's okay buddy, we won't tell Daddy."
--------------------------------
"So, your scans did show multiple lesions which are likely the cause of your seizures." Amelia explains to the patient she was having a video consult with as she was sat at the kitchen table.
"Does that mean it's fixable? Can you make the seizures stop?" the woman on the other end of the call asks, hopeful that she'd come to the right surgeon.
"Yes. I can remov-" Amelia stops mid sentence as a piercing cry sounds through the baby monitor beside her, "I'm sorry, my son just woke up from his nap, I really need to go and pick him up, i'll be right back."
Once returning from the nursery, Amelia sat back in front of the computer with Scout in her arms. He was now calm and staring up at his Mom with his wide blue eyes as she continued with her consult.
"I'm sorry about this. My boyfriend is at work so it's just us here and this little man is very needy." she apologises as she adjusts Scout in her arms, "It's no problem, really, you look like you're doing a great job balancing things."
Amelia smiles as she looks down at the baby in her arms. Truthfully, she had been concerned about how she was going to handle having a baby and working. She'd seen a lot of her friends do it but, it still worried her. It worried her that she'd miss too much of his life. So far, because of the pandemic, she was able to do her consults online which meant she got to stay with Scout while she worked and then got a break when she went in for surgeries.
"Like I was saying, I will be able to go in surgically and remove the lesions which will hopefully relieve you of your seizures."
"That would be amazing. When can we do it?" the patient asks but before Amelia has a chance to answer, Scout starts wailing once more, "Oh god, he's hungry, I'm so sorry."
Amelia quickly stands up and runs over to the refrigerator, the screaming baby still in her arms as she swings it open to look for a pre-pumped bottle to give him.
"Crap." she whispers under her breath, "No bottles."
"Alright, I guess we're just gonna have to get ma boobs out in the middle of this consult. Never thought I'd do that. The things I do for you." she whispers down to the still crying baby.
She sits back at the table, angling the computer up so the camera is only showing her face before opening her shirt to allow her son to start eating. Immediately, he calms down against her chest. Amelia looks back up to the screen and offers her patient a smile.
"Okay, where were we?"
----------------------------------
The front door closing startles Amelia, waking her up from where she'd fallen asleep on the couch with Scout laid across her chest. It takes her a moment to come around and focus her eyes on the body that had just walked in.
"Hey." Link smiled as he placed his bag down by the door and made his way over to the couch. He sat down beside Amelia, placed a hand gently down on the baby's back before leaning in to kiss Amelia, "How was your day?"
Amelia laughs, "Well, we successfully got ready without any tears and then I showed him some brains which he seemed to love annnnnd then I got my boobs out in the middle of a consult."
"Huh..." Link laughed and raises his eyebrows waiting to see if she'd give some kind of explanation.
"He woke up from a nap while I was in the middle of a consult and started screaming because he was hungry. There wasn't any bottles in the fridge so I just had to- I obviously tilted the camera up."
They both laughed again which caused Scout to start stirring on her chest. The two of them watched with a smile as their son wriggles for a second before settle back down, pressing his face into her chest.
"Well, it sounds like you had an eventful day." Link says softly as Amelia leans her head on his shoulder. He places a kiss on her forehead and runs his fingers through her hair gently,
"You're doing an amazing job, Amelia. I'm proud of you."

the writers fucked up. link is not the villain, amelia is not the villain. he has always been so understanding and willing to listen, why ruin his entire character last night with that proposal? and for amelia, they can never let her be happy. she’s been through so much and she deserves the joy and the happiness. but as for the grey’s writers, amelink doesn’t have to have a proposal and a wedding to be a good couple. insisting that they do will ruin them for good.

She was lying on top of him, her chin resting on his chest, and a grin spread across her face as she felt his fingers trace down her spine, his touch sending goosebumps across her skin.
