Amelia's  POV 
"so word around is you and sloan have a baby boy together?" i heard blondie say she was now walking beside me "he is a foster baby? i don't know if that was the right word but we have been just watching him every day" i explained "sounds like you two are in love" she teased at me "i have slowly fell in love with this baby but sloan thinks he deserves better parents" i said and she saw my face "no? what? as much as you two are workaholics this baby is probably what you two need" she told me

"we aren't even married yet" i said "really? you're telling me that's what's stopping you from adopting this baby boy" she said "no but it would be nice to be married before kids" i said "really? no! you will talk to sloan about this baby! oh screw that it's your baby" she said walking off and just a few feet ahead was sloan. "what is she so passionate about?" she asked me handing me coffee "oh nothing" i said she gave me a weird face. "ok?" she said "how's the baby" i asked "he's great and i saw a social worker looking at him" she said but the tone in her voice i could tell she was disappointed.

"he's getting a family?" i asked as we were walking "not for sure but someone will adopt him soon" she said "well you told me you wanted that right?" i asked "yea" she said putting on a fake smile "i will see you around" she said kissing me and then she left. ok well now it is just making me sad watching how this is happening. im going to call the person i need right now to help me before i make a very illegal decision and could more than likely get me fired. "hey mer? um can you talk" i asked as she answered the phone quickly. 

Alondra's  POV
"hey have any of you seen amelia?" i asked walking into the lounge "uh no? i saw her this morning" Arizona said then i tried my phone but she didn't answer and then i tried her office she wasn't in there. when i drove up to our house her car was her which is weird because I'm pretty sure both of us are supposed to be working night shift also. "babe?" i said as i was entering the house. looked in the living room she wasn't there. bedroom she wasn't.

i walked inside the guest bedroom and found her but it wasn't her alone she had the baby.
"my love please tell me this not the baby" i said looking down at the carpet she was sitting on with him and a couple of toys. "look before you say anything i thought about it for a while" she said standing up with him in her arms. "omg you're crazy" i said holding him "look i have been with him for a couple of hours and he is fine with me" she said "babe- he's not our kid" i told her "but? look i want him to be our kid and live here with us" she told me which caught me by surprise she was going to say that.

"ok but you stole a baby" i said "not necessarily- look we can take him back and it will be like he was never gone" she told me taking him from my arms "no i want him but we need to do this the right way" i told her "well there's no point now... might as well as keep him" she told me but she was laughing and then i heard my phone ring which made us both jump. "hey Josephinee" i said very suspicious "he's gone! box baby" she said freaking out "well actually- he is with us" i said very slowly but i heard silence.

we just look at each other me and Amelia. "yes we are on the way" i said then i saw tears form in her eyes. "no no my love... we have to pull ourselves together" i said bringing her closer to me "you're taking him from me" she said i could feel the tears on my shirt. "hey look at me. im not taking him. nobody is taking him from us ok?" i said looking into her eyes. i just saw as tears fell "mhm" she said the tears just kept falling. this is the last thing i wanted to do but also if we want a shot at actually adopting him we can't just take him. we have to do the right thing and it's not this way.

when we got to the hospital immediately we saw jo and a social worker but not the same woman from the first time. "ok you know what im not letting this happen" i said guarding amelia's body from that view and walking the other way "what?" she asked "we are stealing a baby" i whispered in her ear and pushing us into a room. "sloan we can't hide in here forever" she told me holding the car seat. "no but we have our baby" i said "he's not ours yet" she said "i say we run away and never come back" i suggested "really? with a 4 month old" she said placing down the car seat.

"im actually fine with that" i said she started laughing "we need to do this the right way" she said "maybe we should give him a name instead of box baby" i said looking down at him sleeping so peacefully "mmm we can't do that but code name for him" she said holding my hand and looking into my eyes "pickle" i said laughing "pickle" she repeated laughing at me "mmm baby sloan-shepherd" i said with a wink then she kissed me "mmm no pda in front of him" i said pulling away from her lips. she gave me a little smile.

"it's time" i said very quietly without trying to cry "ok" she nodded and picked up his car seat and we headed out the door with me holding it for her. we couldn't even get a couple of minutes before they found us. "there he is" i heard jo say and along side her was the woman who will be taking him. our kid. "wait- can i have two minutes" i heard Amelia say "ma'am it's already bad enough" the woman said "please just two minutes is all we ask" i said and she didn't object this time.

i saw her bend down towards his car seat. "hey we will be back for you i promise and i will miss you every second you're not in my arms." i heard her voice breaking soon the tears came "i love you so much" she said kissing his little hand which had him smile a little. then i saw her eyes move to me and she has tears which made her eyes shine more. "hey bud? even though you probably don't know what's going on i love you and will see you again" i said trying my best not to cry and kissing his feet.

we slowly got up and watched as they took him away and Amelia leaned into my chest. "he's gone" she said crying into my body "i know but we will get him back i promise" i said kissing her temple and she just cried as we stood in the middle of the hallway of the hospital.
