Meredith got Arizona home and set up in bed with her leg propped up on pillows. Maggie picked up the kids and dropped them off to help her sister and sister in law. Arizona's parents were finishing up their move. They had found a house less than a mile away. Of course they were experts at moving and could unpack in record time. So tonight it all fell on Meredith as Arizona was stuck in bed. Meredith started dinner and the girls were helping her with dinner and keeping Ellis occupied. Bailey and Sumy decided to keep Arizona company. They climbed up on the bed and began to tell the blonde about their day. Sumy had seen the prosthetic but had never seen Arizona's residual limb up close before. He finally bent down and kissed it and said "That make you feel better."
Arizona smiled, she loved her family. She was in a much better frame of mind than earlier today. Her hormones were making her an emotional wreck. She held onto her boys and listening to them laughing made her heart swell. The baby became very active hearing the boys. Arizona grabbed both their hands and placed them on her belly. The baby kicked and Sumy laughed and Bailey jumped back a little and said "She kicked me. I gotta tell Sofia and Zola." He took off to go find his sisters.
Sumy climbed up and snuggled with his Momma. After several minutes Meredith walked in with a tray of food. Arizona said "Meredith, I could have come downstairs."
Meredith replied "Not tonight, I'm taking care of you."
Arizona stated " That's not necessary, I am more than capable..."
Meredith interrupted "Stop." She paused "Okay that came out harsher than I intended." she paused. "Sumy? Can you go downstairs with your brother and sisters please?" She waited until he was gone. "I want to take care of my wife. My very pregnant wife. This isn't about your leg and I know you have issues being a patient but dammit that's going to stop."
She put her hands on each side of her wife's face "Arizona, I love my wife, but her stubbornness is pissing me off." She kissed her tenderly on the lips "Can I please take care of my wife and our baby?"
Arizona looked properly scolded. "I'm sorry, you don't deserve this."
"It's okay, when I was pregnant, I cried. I cried when I was happy, when I was sad, when I was mad. I cried. I get it, you can't control your emotions and I know it bothers you to be waited on, I can promise you, I would do it even if you had two legs. You're my wife and you're having my baby." Meredith looked into those bright blue eyes "Do you believe me?" Arizona nodded and kissed her wife.
After dinner it was hectic as ever, maybe more so since Arizona was the organized one of the two. Sofia and Zola both came into their mothers room after baths and Arizona started braiding their hair while the girls talked about their day and something funny that happened on the playground. Meredith brought Ellis in and asked if Arizona could watch her while she bathed the boys? Arizona reached for the little one and she climbed up her into her Momma's arms. It wasn't long before Ellis fell asleep. Sofia and Zola had been taking turns reading out loud from one of Ellis' story books. After a few minutes both boys came running into the room while the girls shushed them so they wouldn't wake Ellis. Meredith walked in after and she did not look happy. Her shirt was soaked and sticking to her body and half of her hair was dripping wet.
Arizona stifled a giggle and asked "What happened?"
Bailey said "Oh I splashed her." He said matter of factly.
Arizona said "Bailey? Why would you do that?" He replied "There was a fly."
Arizona couldn't control her laughter, pretty soon they were all laughing. Well all but Meredith. "Okay, enough. Kiss your Momma goodnight. It's time for bed."
When all the kids were down for the night, Meredith came back in and took off her wet shirt and her bra and then her pants and grabbed for a night shirt. Arizona said "Don't." Meredith looked at her wife and said "Babe, you need to rest." She pulled her nightshirt on and climbed in bed next to her wife. "How's your swelling?"
Arizona said "Its not too bad but there is some throbbing." Meredith kissed her wife. "Nice try. How about tomorrow I see if your parents want to have their first sleepover with the grandkids at their new place?"
Arizona pouted "Fine." She kissed her wife and let her hands roam. Their kisses soon became more heated. Meredith looked at wife and said "You are impossible"
The next morning Arizona was sleeping soundly when she heard whispering, angry whispering. She opened her eyes to see Meredith trying to discipline Bailey and he just looked confused. "What's going on?" Arizona said sleepily.
Meredith looked at her wife "I'm so sorry, Bailey tell your Momma what you did and apologize."
Bailey looked at his Momma "I'm sorry, I painted your toenails with a marker. I made them pretty. " he said proudly as he held up a purple marker. Arizona pulled the blanket back and looked at her foot. It was normal she looked at her wife questionably who held up the prosthetic with its newly painted toenails. Arizona tried to hide the smile the was beginning to form. She looked at Meredith and when their eyes met Arizona started to giggle.
