Dr Link short for Atticus Lincoln (Chris Carmack) lying in bed with Dr Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) telling her that he wants more kids, may seem romantic to some and crazy to others considering they've just battled a pandemic while taking care of four kids. But to 'Grey's Anatomy' fans this conversation is a cause for concern. 

Fans couldn't help but get a feeling of deja vu of when Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) were having a similar conversation snuggled up in bed talking about children, shortly before Derek died.

Fans who have lost several key characters on Season 17 of 'Grey's Anatomy' including Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti), Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) and Tom Koracick (Greg Germann) are worried that another loss could be on the cards. One fan on YouTube said, "Link saying he wants more kids reminded me of when Derek told Meredith he wanted more kids before he died😭krista you better leave amelink alone."

Another fan concurred saying on YouTube, "Link with Amelia and he wants more kids ? It’s ok. But Krista , you better not kill Link.Cuz that would be really really bad for YOU!!!"

Others however felt that this Link and Amelia conversation, was simply a build-up to Link and Amelia possibly adopting. We see baby Luna who has become something of a cast regular on 'Grey's Anatomy' Season 17 battling for her life on the latest episode and fans are wondering if it's Amelia and Link or Dr Jo Wilson (Camilla Luddington) who will end up adopting Luna, or could Luna end up being parented by all three?

One fan on YouTube said, "Hear me out, link and amelia adopt luna. jo and link are great friends and since jo doesn’t have a significant other to help raise luna, it could make sense to let link adopt her because he already wants kids. with jo going into ob, she’s going to be so busy with the switching specialties stuff and she probably won’t have time for luna."

Fans, however, are clear that one way or another Jo needs Luna in her life after all that she has gone through with her husband Dr Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) walking out on her and now Dr Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams), Jo's' friend with benefits leaving as well. One fan on YouTube said, "Jo needs a happy ending please do not let Luna die and allow her to adopt her." Another said on YouTube, "All I know is , Jo been through a lot of shit, give her baby Luna damn. And I still feel cheated out my goodbye from Alex Karev, we didnt even know it was a goodbye to say it. I'm rocking with Grey's until its final episode and season."

Is motherhood on the cards for Jo or will Link and Amelia have an addition to their family? To find out catch the latest episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' on Season 17 on Thursday at 9 pm on ABC. Catch the trailer below.
