3 months later:
                          
They continue the same routine everyday, wake up, take Amelia to daycare, and go to shift. But neither of them complain because all they wanted was a family, which is what they are becoming. This morning though was a little different.
                          
Matt and Sylvie are lying in bed when all of a sudden one of their phones go off.
                          
"Ugh! It's two in the morning!" Sylvie groans.
                          
"It's not mine" Matt states. 
                          
Sylvie walks up to grab her phone and sees it her mom. She starts to get worried and quickly answers it. 
                          
"Hey mom is everything okay?" Sylvie asks worriedly.
                          
At this point Matt is sitting up rubbing her shoulders to try and comfort her. 
                          
"Sweetie it's your father. He had a stroke in the middle of the night and we're at the hospital. He's in surgery right now."
                          
Sylvie starts to choke up and leans further into Matt's arms. 
                          
"Is he going to be okay?" She manages to say.
                          
"We're not sure. You should probably come down here. But he's strong, he'll put up a fight"
                          
"Okay um, we'll leave now"
                          
"See you soon honey"
                          
She hangs up the phone and turns to face Matt. 
                          
"My dads in the hospital, I have to go to fowlertown."
                          
"I'll drive and get Amelia ready" Matt said as he kissed her head.
                          
"You don't have to do that. We have shift tomorrow."
                          
"I'm not letting you go through this alone. And don't worry about shift, I'll call Boden and tell him the situation"
                          
Sylvie gives him a quick kiss and packs their bags. She not sure how long they will be staying, so she packs a ton of stuff. Meanwhile Matt packed up Amelia's things and got her in the car seat. While he's waiting for Sylvie he texts Boden and tells him they won't be there for shift tomorrow. Sylvie comes down and they throw the bags in the truck. 
                          
Before Sylvie can get into the truck, Matt grabs her arm and spins her around into a hug. 
                          
"It's going to be okay" Matt says softly. 
                          
"I love you" she replies. 
                          
"I love you too" he says as he opens her door.
                          
The ride to Fowlertown isn't too long but they sit there in silence till Amelia starts crying. Sylvie grabs her bottle and she starts drinking it. After she gets Amelia calmed down she realizes that they're there. 
                          
She takes a deep breath and gets out. Matt grabs Amelia and puts her into the carrier. This is not how he wanted to meet her parents. 
                          
They walk in and see her mom sitting in the waiting room.
                          
"Mom!" Sylvie cries.
                          
"Is this Amelia?!" Sylvie's mom asks.
                          
"It sure is" Sylvie replies
                          
"And you must be Matt?"
                          
"Yes, mam. It's nice to meet you, definitely not under these circumstances."
