Psst Arizona." Maria woke her at 3am the next morning.
"What is it Maria?" She asked.
"Can you get me a chocolate cake?" She asked, really craving one.
"Maria where am I getting a chocolate cake from at 3 in the morning?" She asked.
"The supermarket. They are open for 24 hours." Maria responded. "I need cake Ari." She whined.
"Okay, I know. I'll be back In 15 minutes." Arizona responded, getting up, shoving some clothes on before getting in the car and buying Maria her cake.
"Happy now?" Arizona asked Maria, going into the bedroom with the cake and a knife.
"I will be when I eat some." Maria replied. "Thank you." She said before cutting into the cake. "Would you like a piece?" She offered.
"Sure Ria." Arizona agreed.
"Here we are then Ari." Maria gave Arizona a slice before cutting a large slice for herself and putting the rest of the cake on the bedside table.
"This is just what I needed."
"I know it is Ria." Arizona replied after finishing her slice and laying herself back down to get some sleep before having to get up for work in a couple of hours. "Try to get back to sleep." She advised, knowing she hadn't been sleeping well lately.
"I'll give it a go." Maria replied, finishing off her slice of cake and going to the loo so there was atleast a chance of her sleeping the next couple of hours.
The next morning Arizona woke to the alarm, seeing Maria sitting up in bed eating the rest of the cake Arizona had bought at 3am. "Cake for breakfast?" She asked.
"Yep. I'm starving Ari."
"That's a good thing Maria." Arizona was relieved her wife had been eating plenty, even though really unhealthily.
"Do you want any before I finish it?" She offered.
"No thanks Ria, you finish it." Arizona replied, getting herself up.
Maria smiled, glad Arizona didn't want any and enjoyed the rest of the cake before getting up herself. "Boys or girls Ari?" Maria asked, jumping into the shower with her.
"Girls. Your chocolate mad right now!" Arizona exclaimed.
"You know that's just an old wives tale Ari?"
"I know, but it's girls." Arizona stood by her previous statement. "We'll find out for sure later anyway."
"Yes we will." Maria was happy she would finally be finding out the gender of their babies and leaned in to passionately kiss Arizona.
Arizona kissed her wife back, wrapping her arms around Maria's body. "I love you." She told her once they'd finished kissing.
"I love you too." She responded, getting herself out of the shower and shoving a towel round her body.
"Good." Arizona responded, also getting out of the shower. "Do you want me to make you a cup of tea?" She asked, quickly drying herself off and getting dressed.
"Please Ari." She responded, getting herself dry and dressed. "Ugh my skirt doesn't fit anymore." She grumbled, unable to do the button up.
"Oh sweet, put on a maternity skirt." Arizona advised, knowing her wife was upset by this.
"I'm going to have to." Maria went back into their room to pick out a maternity skirt before going downstairs to sit opposite Arizona at the breakfast bar.
"Happy now?" Arizona asked her wife, passing her her cup of tea.
"Not really Ari." Maria replied, sipping at the drink. "I'm getting really fat."
"Your not, your pregnant, your getting lovely big breasts and a beautiful bump." Arizona responded, trying to make her wife feel better and also liking how big her breasts had gotten lately.
"Thankyou Arizona." Maria smiled and teared up.
"Hey sweetheart, it's okay, you'll always be beautiful to me. Don't cry."
"Arizona, your amazing." Maria still had tears in her eyes. "I am so lucky to have you."
"Maria. Your my world." Arizona told her and passed her a tissue.
"Ari, your making me cry more."
"Maria your hopeless."
"I'm sorry, it's the hormones."
"I know it is sweetheart." Arizona stood up and gave her wife a hug until she stopped crying. "Ready to go to work now?"
"Yeah, I'm ready." Maria agreed, getting her bag.
"Good, remember we have our appointment at 12." She reminded Maria before she forgot herself.
"Okay Ari." Maria responded excitedly, heading out to the car. "Can you drive?" She asked.
"Sure my sweet." Arizona agreed, getting into the car. "What cake would you like for your birthday?"
"Surprise me love, just make sure there's chocolate involved."
"Alright Ria, I can do that." She agreed.
"Thank you Arizona. What work do you have this morning?"
"I have a surgery at 9 and that'll take me up until lunch." Arizona answered. "Do you want to help?"
"No Ari, I can't, I have a couple of my own surgeries."
"Okay, enjoy. Make sure to get a snack in between if you can." Arizona suggested, caring about her wife and not wanting her working herself too hard.
"I will Ari."
"Good my gorgeous wife." Arizona gave her wife a warming hug before they went their separate ways.
After Maria had finished her two morning surgeries it was time for her and Arizona's appointment, annoyingly she was really desperate for the loo but wouldn't have time to go before her appointment, on top of that Addison preferred to do ultrasounds on a full bladder. "Everything okay?" Arizona asked, once they'd met up. She'd learnt to notice when something was wrong with her wife.
"I really need the loo. I didn't get to go between my surgeries." She answered. Stopping for a second to grab herself.
"Maria?" Arizona asked.
"One of them just kicked my bladder." She answered grumpily.
"Oh. Oh dear." Arizona wrapped her arm round her wife as they walked into the exam room.
"Hello Maria, Arizona." Addison greeted, waiting for Maria to get down on the exam chair. "How are you both today?"
"I'm good." Arizona responded cheerfully. "I think Maria's going to wet herself though so be quick."
Addison laughed. "I'll be quick as I can. Babies kicking at you Maria?"
"Yeah, a lot." She responded.
"Babies are known for that. Are you both ready to find out the gender?" She asked, making sure they wanted to know.
"Yes!" Both of them responded excitedly.
"So, your having 2 girls and a boy." Addison announced, slowly moving the ultrasound wand over Maria abdomen. "They all look fine."
"Thank you Addison." Maria responded smiling. "Can we go now, sorry I really need the loo."
"I know, you can go now." She agreed as Arizona helped Maria up and walking to the toilets with her, waiting for her to finish so they could kiss each other goodbye before seeking each other again at the end of the day.
"Are you excited about the babies?" Arizona asked over dinner once they were home.
"Very, I think we should start designing the nurseries"
"I'm thinking the same." Arizona agreed. "Shall we make the girls one pink?" She asked.
"I kinda want to make it purple."
"Okay, well we can do both? Okay with that."
"Yep Ari, I'm okay with that." Maria agreed. "And the boys one blue?"
"Sure." Arizona responded, glad when it came to colours they were on the same wavelength.
Maria smiled and got her iPad, so she could search for cribs and other items for the nursery. They both argued and looked at cribs and other items for a while, before settling and ordering everything they needed. Arizona wanted to surprise Maria and have both the nurseries decorated for her birthday in three days time.
