A/N: It's snowing here and I remembered that Teddy loves snow!
"You look intense," Lauren says entering the lounge on a break between sessions.
"Hmm," Arizona responds without looking up from the journal article that she's writing.
Sitting down on the couch, Lauren puts up her feet and continues to stare at the blonde.
Teddy enters the room and sits beside Lauren on the couch and also stares at Arizona.
"Seriously?" Arizona asks finally turning to stare at them.
"What? We are patiently waiting for you to finish your article," Teddy counters.
"Where's Tricia?" Arizona asks.
"She went to get her vehicle and she's going to wait out front for us," Lauren explains.
"Okay, okay, I'm at a stopping point, let's go," Arizona says closing her laptop and grabbing her bag to start putting her things away.
"Yay!" Teddy says. "Tell Trish we're on our way!"
"I can't believe they cancelled the rest of the day, do you really think we'll get that much snow?" Arizona asks.
"It's already snowing," Lauren points out.
"Oh, it is?" Arizona replies, pulling her scarf out of her bag as she slips her notes and laptop inside.
"I love snow!" Teddy says as they head to their lockers to get their things.
"Do you get much snow in Seattle?" Lauren asks.
"Not really, it snows every winter, but usually just a few inches, once or twice a winter." Arizona explains.
"I haven't seen snow in three years, which is weird," Lauren replies.
"Aren't you from Minnesota?" Arizona asks, "Don't you go home for Christmas?"
"My sisters both live in Texas now that our parents are gone," Lauren explains.
"Oh," Arizona replies following her into locker room.
"Lauren, is that the only coat that you have with you?" Teddy asks as she slips on a lightweight NorthFace jacket.
"I'll be fine, we're just going out to the car," she replies.
"Teddy wants us to go sledding," Arizona informs the taller blonde.
"Sledding?" Lauren asks excitedly. "I'll go buy another coat, I love sledding."
"Great, now there are two of you," Arizona groans dramatically.
"Come on Robbins, you'll love it. Make you feel like a kid again!" Teddy says shutting her locker.
"I didn't go sledding as a kid, there wasn't much snow in San Juan," Arizona points out.
What are you looking at?" Callie asks entering the lounge to find Alex, Jo and Amelia looking at something on a tablet.
"Arizona and Teddy went sledding," Jo explains, as Callie joins them.
"Seriously? Arizona is sledding?" Callie asks, "I have to see this."
Alex scrolls through the photos of Teddy and Arizona's photos on Instagram, when Callie sees a familiar face, "Who is that?"
"Uh, I'm not sure," Alex says realizing exactly who it is.
Jo looks over and is about to say her name when Alex grabs her hand under the table, "Jo, didn't you say that you have a post op patient to check on?"
"Oh, OH! Right, yeah, I should go do that," she says standing up to leave.
"I just checked on her and she's fine." Callie says staring at her. Then turning to Alex, "did you know that she was there in DC with Arizona?" Callie asks.
"No, how would I know whose there, I haven't been there," he blurts out.
Amelia looks down, not wanting to make eye contact with Callie.
"Shepherd?" Callie notices her nervousness. "Spill it, what do you know?"
"I know, okay. She told me that Teddy had befriended her and it was awkward for her," Amelia replies carefully.
Callie scoffs, "It doesn't look awkward now," she remarks looking at a picture of the four doctors, Lauren's arm is around Arizona casually as she's obviously taking the photo with the blonde's phone.
The photo isn't making Amelia happy either, but she doesn't want any of them to know that, so she grabs her tablet and says, "Uh, I need to get going. Alex, let me know if you need me on that consult or if Edwards can cover it."
In her office, she pulls up Arizona's Instagram account and looks through the pictures again. Callie's right, they definitely look pretty damn cozy.
Sitting in Teddy's living room enjoying hot toddy's while they wait for pizza, the four doctors are still laughing about their afternoon of sledding.
"I can't believe that you never got a snow day?" Tricia replies, when she finds out that Arizona spent most of her childhood on military bases.
"We were in Germany a couple of times, but never during the winter," she explains. "Usually we were in San Juan or San Diego, or Fort Bragg."
"Oh my god that was fun, I love you guys! Look at this fun!," Teddy says pulling up her Instagram account on the tv to show them the photos that they took.
"Arizona, tag me in your pics and then we can see them all," Teddy asks.
"Oh, right." She says taking her phone out and pulling up her account. Noticing that Callie's liked the photo of her and Teddy, she exclaims, "Oh no!"
"What?" Teddy asks confused.
"Callie's seen these pictures," Arizona replies staring right at Lauren.
"Oh," Lauren says, "All of them?"
"I'm sure that she saw all of them, I posted them all at the same time," Arizona points out. "Crap, should I call her?"
"Arizona, she's your ex. You don't have to keep apologizing to her, especially now," Tricia points out. "It is what it is. You're having fun with friends in DC, she needs to deal with it."
Looking down at her phone, Arizona is surprised to see Amelia calling. "Hello?"
"Hey are you done playing in the snow?" Amelia asks playfully.
"Yeah, we're finally warm and dry, can you believe that we got that much snow since this morning?" Arizona asks getting up and going into the kitchen for a little privacy.
"I miss snows like that," Amelia says thoughtfully.
"So what's up?" Arizona asks, because Amelia calling her is still not normal.
"Uh, I just thought I'd warn you that Callie saw the photos and she's a little pissed," Amelia explains.
"Yeah, I didn't even think about that when I posted them," Arizona admits, "Well she's just going to have to deal with it. I'm done apologizing for everything."
"Do you have something more to apologize to her for?" Amelia asks awkwardly.
"Excuse me?" Arizona asks, annoyance evident in her tone, "Are you trying to ask me something Amelia?"
"This is hard for me Arizona," Amelia replies. "You look happy, her arm is around you and you look really happy in that photo," she points out.
"I was having fun, of course I looked happy," Arizona counters. "Look, the pizza is here and I'm not going to have this conversation with you right now. We can talk later, okay?"
"Was that Callie?" Teddy asks sliding in behind her to grab plates and napkins for the pizza.
"No, that was Amelia," she replies, "apparently Callie and Amelia both saw the pictures."
"Wow, it kinda sucks to be you right now," Teddy quips.
"No, no that's not it either. Look, this whole deal is just ridiculous." Arizona is now a little drunk and pissed off about Callie and Amelia being upset by the sledding photo, "I am single, my ex has a girlfriend and there's no one, no one who gets a say in who I'm seeing or not seeing or friends with."
"You go girl!" Teddy says, pouring more wine into her glass.
"So when are you calling Amelia back?" Tricia asks, trying not to smile.
"In the morning," Arizona replies, then realizes what Tricia just did. "Funny Trish, she's not my girlfriend though."
"Right, she just lives at your house, helps your ex with your daughter," Trish points out.
"I never should have told you guys that I slept with her, now you don't understand," Arizona counters.
"Oh we understand, that phone call from her earlier, that was not a roommate calling, that was a girlfriend," Teddy reminds her.
"Okay, no more talking about this." Arizona says trying to stand up. "I'm exhausted and I'm going to bed."
Lauren and Teddy both jump up to help her.
"Oh wait, I have an extra room at my place, one of you should come stay there. Teddy's couch sucks," she adds.
Lauren and Tricia look at each other.
"Lauren go, I'm staying here with Teddy. My wife would never let me hear the end of it if I stay alone in an apartment with Arizona," Trish jokes.
"But she's okay with you sharing an apartment with Lauren?" Arizona asks, then grimaces, "Oh sorry, Lauren."
"Too soon, Robbins. Too soon!" Lauren says dramatically. Then puts her hands on the blonde's shoulders and turns her around.
"I may have drank too much, I don't seem to have a filter right now," Arizona says as they head out the door.
"Uh, we noticed," Teddy replies. "Should I go and help you?"
"Nah, we'll be fine," Arizona says turning around too quickly and almost falling, "Oh, that's not good," she says grabbing her leg.
"Are you sure that you're okay?" Teddy asks.
"She'll be fine," Lauren says taking her arm and leading her down the hall.
"You should probably drink some water before bed," Lauren points out when they get into Arizona's place.
"You're right, but I really need to get this leg off," Arizona says heading down the hall.
Lauren watches her go and cocks her head, then decides to get water for both of them.
"Hey, I'm setting this glass of water by your bed," Lauren calls out before entering her bedroom.
"Thanks," Arizona replies from the bathroom.
Looking at the bed, Lauren notices that Arizona has removed her socket and her prosthetic.
"Hey, is everything alright?" she calls out.
"Uh, yeah. I just have a blister, I'm not used to walking in snow and apparently I didn't do it correctly", she admits.
"Do you need any help?" Lauren asks.
"No, it's fine," she replies.
"Okay, good night then," Lauren says turning to leave.
"Wait," Arizona says coming out of the bathroom.
Lauren turns around.
"Today was fun, I enjoyed spending time with you," she admits.
"I enjoyed it too. I'm just sorry that it created drama in your life in Seattle," Lauren says apologizing and walking over towards the blonde.
"I probably overreacted and I'm a little drunk," she explains. "And it's been awhile since I've had any drama in my life, so you know I'm, uh, out of practice," she jokes.
"Well, you probably won't believe this but my life is pretty much drama free," Lauren points out, "Except when I'm around you apparently."
Seeing Arizona sitting on the bed in her robe, Lauren bites her lip and turns away, "so good night then," she says.
"Lauren, wait..." Arizona says breathlessly.
Turning around, Lauren sees that she's slipped off her robe, so she goes to her and sits down and leans in and kisses her softly at first.
"Mmm," Arizona moans, deepening the kiss.
Reaching up Lauren sinks her hand into soft blonde curls and pushes her back gently onto the bed, kissing her harder.
Arizona slips her hand under Lauren's sweatshirt and begins to lift it off of her, when Lauren brings her hand down.
"Wait, no," she says pulling back. "Not like this. We've been drinking."
"Lauren," Arizona says reaching up and tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, "stay here then, with me."
"I can't. I-I'm just going to go to the other room," she says standing up to leave.
Laying in bed the next morning, Arizona feels like hell. Between the sledding and the drinking, she has a killer headache. Then the smell of coffee hits her, oh my god, Lauren's here. Then the rest of the night comes flooding back to her.
Carefully making her way to the kitchen to face the tall dark blonde, Arizona is prepared to apologize when instead of Lauren, she sees Teddy sitting there drinking coffee.
"Um, where's Lauren?" Arizona asks.
"The plow came early this morning and woke us up, they just left. Lauren mentioned that you had a blister and might need help, so here I am. Do you need help?" she asks.
"I need coffee and Tylenol right now," Arizona replies, wondering if Lauren said anything else to Teddy.
"Did Lauren check out your blister last night?" Teddy asks.
"No, she did not." Arizona replies taking a sip of coffee. Then glancing up to see Teddy's questioning look she adds, "Nothing happened, she slept in the guest room. I slept in my room."
"Okay, okay, I'm glad actually. I'm having a good time with all of you guys and I don't want it to get weird," Teddy replies.
"Hey come on in, we're just hanging out, watching a movie," Teddy says ushering Julie into the room.
"Oh no, what happened?" she asks when she sees Arizona's crutches.
"Just a little too much fun sledding yesterday," Arizona replies.
"Sorry I missed it, but we didn't get the afternoon off," Julie replies pouting. "What are you watching?"
"Teddy's never seen Orange Is The New Black," Arizona explains as Teddy sits back down.
"Oh, I have only seen the first part of season one," Julie says sitting down in the chair across from them.
"You should stay and watch it with us," Teddy replies.
A while later, Arizona's phone rings and she shows it to Teddy, who puts the show on pause
"Just a second," Arizona says into the phone. Then to Teddy she says, "Just help me up, you guys can keep watching the show," she says reaching for her crutches.
"Am I interrupting something?" Amelia asks.
"No, I'm just on crutches and they're watching a movie, so I wanted to leave the room to talk," she explains.
"Why are you on crutches? Did something happen?" Amelia questions.
"I just have a blister from sledding yesterday," Arizona replies. "It's no big deal and I'm just hanging out with Teddy and Julie watching tv."
"So Lauren's not there now," Amelia remarks.
"Is that why you called last night and today? You're jealous, you know that right?" Arizona asks.
"I'm aware, I'm also aware that I don't really have a right to be, so there's no need to point that out either," Amelia replies.
"Okay," Arizona isn't sure what to say next, so she decides to wait her out.
"I need to see you again, I want to figure this out and I need to see you to do that," she replies surprising the blonde.
"Okay, I'm coming to Seattle in a few weeks to get Sofia, maybe you don't hide from me this time?"
"What if I come out there on Friday?" Amelia asks.
Shocked Arizona doesn't say anything for a minute.
"You don't want to see me?" Amelia asks.
"It's not that I don't want to see you, I just didn't expect that, give me a minute, okay?" Arizona replies.
"What is it you need to think about?" Amelia asks. "You either want to see me or you don't."
"Amelia, I'm just a little confused about everything," Arizona admits.
"Me too, that's why I want to see you," she explains. "Owen called me."
"Is he there in Seattle?" Arizona asks. More confused now.
"No, he's not coming back to Seattle," Amelia replies. "He's moving to San Antonio to work for MedComm."
"Oh, that's probably for the best. What with everything that happened with Riggs," she replies.
"He asked me to move there," Amelia adds.
"Wait, he what?" Arizona stammers, now even more confused. "What did you say?"
"I told him no. I'm not in love with him Arizona," she says, then adds softly, "but I might be with you."
