Callie was staring at her wife waiting for her to move but Arizona couldn't, it was as if there was super glue on her seat making her stick there. All she could do was sit there and stare at her parents, and the random little girl. Who was this little girl? So many questions were running through her head and so many what if situations started to begin. Is this my sister? My cousin? What on earth is going on.
"Ari? Go talk to your parents". Whispered Callie as she nudged her wife. Arizona nodded her head silently and stood up and walked over to the trio.
"Hello mum, general". Smiled Arizona softly as she hugged her parents. She then turned her gaze to the little girl studying her closer. The little girl definitely had her eyes and her hair but the eyes, they looked slightly different to her own but also similar in another way, the eyes, she knew them from where, but the where wasn't coming to her mind.
"Ari, is there somewhere we can talk, in private?". Her mother asked softly.
"I um, sure. Lets go to my office". Replied Arizona as she looked over her shoulder at Callie and told her she'd call her, before showing the trio to her office. Arizona walked in and held the door open for them as they walked in. She walked over and sat in the arm chair, whilst the trio went and sat on the lounge with the little girl between them. They were seated in silence, Arizona not knowing what to say and her parents not knowing how to say it.
"What's going on?". She asked curiously as she looked back and forth from her mother to her father.
"Do you remember before Tim went away for the last time, the girl he spoke frequently of, the one we didn't meet at his funeral?". Her mother asked softly. Of course Arizona remember, Tim talked about her non-stop and he said that when he got home, it would be his last because he found the girl, the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
"Well, yeah, what about her?". Arizona asked curiously. What'd she have to do with anything?
"This little girl is her daughter". Replied her mother.
"Yes... What does that have to do with anything?". Asked Arizona. Where on earth was her mother going with this?
"Arizona really, are you that daft? We come here with a little girl, with blue eyes and blonde hair may I add, just like you and your brother. Then we talk about Tim and the girl, can you not put two and two together?". Her father asked. Arizona glared at her father, he could be a douche, but today he was the biggest douche of all.
"So what you're saying is that little girl, this little girl with blue eyes and blonde hair is Tim's daughter, which means she's my niece..?". asked Arizona. Was this really happening? Was this little girl really her niece. Her mother nodded her head as she turned to the little girl next to her who was staring at Arizona intently.
"Zonie, this is Jasmine, your niece. Jasmine, this is your Aunty Arizona". Her mother said. Blue eyes met blue eyes as they stared at each other. Jasmine was curiously as to who this blonde woman really was, but she sure was pretty. Arizona also wanted to know who she was and why she was here.
"Um,.. hello?". Smiled Arizona as she waved to the little girl. Jasmine grinned as she stood up from the lounge and made her way over to stand in front of Arizona. They stared at each other for what felt forever before Jasmine spoke.
"Can I hug you?". She asked softly. Arizona smiled and nodded her head before opening her arms. Jasmine smiled and launched herself into Arizona's arms. Hugging this lady reminded her of her mums hugs, it also made her realize how much she missed her mum. Arizona pulled Jasmine onto her lap and sat back so she could continue talking to her parents.
"Um what happened?". Asked Arizona as she looked down to Jasmine curiously. Her parents looked at each other before looking back at her.
"Jasmine, why don't you go play over there? They have some dolls and stuff". Smiled Arizona, as she pointed to the childrens play table over in the corner of her office. Jasmine grinned as she walked over to the play table and sat down, playing with the dolls with a smile.
"Okay mum, start from the beginning". Said Arizona with a nod as she settled back down in her chair.
"Um, well, her names Jasmine Marie Robbins, her mother named her after Tim as the legacy, um she has just turned four, she called us up looking for you and then she told us what was happening and then she dropped her off on our doorstep with a letter to you and she left. She left Jasmine with us". Replied her mother softly.
"Mum, why did she want to talk to me? What happened?". Asked Arizona. Her parents shared another look, deciding on which parent should her.
"She's dying Zonie and in her will she listed you as Jasmine's guardian". Replied her father.
"What do you mean she's dying? Wait, what do you mean I'm her guardian? What the hell is going on?". Asked Arizona.
"Here honey, this will explain everything". Said her mother as she handed Arizona a letter. Arizona took the letter from her mother curiously, before opening it up and reading.
Dear Arizona Robbins;
You don't know me and I don't really know you, but this little blue eyed blonde haired girl is your niece. When Tim and I were together, the only person he talked about was you. Ari this, Ari that. Before he went away, I told him I was pregnant, it was the happiest day of his life. He died before he got to tell you but now, I'm dying and Jazzie has no-one to go to, except you. I've spent a long time thinking about this and I realized that you're the right one to raise Jasmine. Even tho I've never met you, what other people think of you sure does speak volumes. Tim, he loved you more than anything in the world, even I sometimes had to compete with you but he spoke so highly of you and how you wanted to be paediatric surgeon, the best in the world. I've looked you up and you've become that, exactly what Jasmine needs. I know I don't have to say this but please tell her about me. I don't want her to forget about me as her mum, or Tim as he dad. Ask her who her daddy is, she will show you a picture of him. She doesn't go anywhere without it. Promise you will look after her, she's my life and now, she's yours. I've sent your lawyer all the papers you need, you just need to go to her and sign it and then everything is all yours. Please take care of her.
Sincerely, Alisha Jones.
Arizona looked up to her parents and wiped away the stray tear that had fallen, was this really happening? Had she just gotten custody of this little girl her niece?
"Arizona?". Asked the little girl. Arizona turned around to face Jasmine.
"Yeah sweetie, whats up?". Asked Arizona as she wiped her tears away.
"I'm hungry". She replied softly. Arizona grinned, just like her father, always hungry.
"I'm going to take Jasmine down to the cafeteria to get some food, we will continue this conversation when we get back". Said Arizona as she turned to look back at her parents as they both nodded their heads.
Arizona stood up and walked over to Jasmine, who had her hands up wanting to be picked up. She smiled and leant down to pick her up and placed her on her hip. Arizona walked out of her office and made her way down to the cafeteria, taking in deep breaths along the way. Everyone was going to stare, which is what everyone did once they walked into the cafeteria. She looked back to where she was seated before and noticed Teddy, Callie and Mark still there with Sofia. Arizona walked over and grabbed some fries and some nuggets for Jasmine, and a sandwich and fries for herself, along with two drinks. She then proceeded to make her way to the cashier and paid for her purchases, before walking over to the table and placing her tray on the table. She sat down with Jasmine on her lap and handed Jasmine a nugget, Jasmine grinned and accepted the nugget with a smile. Arizona smiled down at Jasmine as she continued to ignore the stares being thrown her way, appreciating the silence, before Callie chose to disrupt it.
"Babe? Whats going on?".
