Arizona was preparing lunch for the boys and Ellis. She decided since she couldn't work there was no reason to take the kids to daycare. Sofia and Zola were at school. Barbara or Daniel usually picked them up as it was such a chore to load up all the kids in the car. She was 8 1/2 months pregnant and ready for this baby to come. Most days she had problems with her prosthetic and had discussed with Meredith just this morning about getting her wheelchair out of storage. It wasn't something she wanted to do but knew it was a real possibility.
She had just placed Ellis in her high chair when she felt a rush of liquid roll down her legs. Bailey looked at her and asked "Did you just pee your pants?"
Arizona took deep breaths and replied "No sweetie, but my water broke. Your sister is coming."
Bailey looked shocked "I don't think you're allowed to do that here."
Arizona laughed "Well let's get to the hospital, can you go get my phone and call Grandma?" She looked at Sumy "Baby, can you go get Momma's special bag out of the front room closet?"
Bailey returned with her phone and said "Grandma's not answering." He handed the phone to his mother who tried to call both her parents with no luck. She knew her wife had a full day of surgery but tried to call her anyway. It went straight to voice mail.
She felt her first contraction and it was not fun. She decided she was close enough that she would drive herself. She instructed the boys to grab the diaper bag for Ellis and she loaded them up into the car. Bailey helped by buckling Sumy in his carseat while Arizona loaded Ellis in hers. Bailey buckled himself in.
Arizona turned on the blue tooth as she drove away. She scrolled through her contacts to find someone and the first to come up was the chief. She dialed and it started ringing right as another contraction hit. She tried not to scream because Ellis was already cranky due to missing her lunch and she didn't want to frighten the children. After the third ring Miranda picked up "Robbins?"
Arizona couldn't reply but Bailey did "Hi Aunt Miranda"
The chief said "Bailey? Why are you calling me? Where is your Momma?"
Bailey said "She's driving. My sister is coming and Momma peed her pants."
Arizona caught her breath and told the chief "Miranda, I'm here, my water broke..." another pain and she groaned " We are almost to the hospital, I'm going to need someone to get the kids and find my wife..." another pain hit and she couldn't control the sound that came out of her mouth. Ellis started crying and Sumy tried to console her.
The chief ran to the pit. She put on a trauma gown and started barking orders. "Page Dr Richardson, get Dr Grey and I need a couple of interns. NOW people, move." She walked out to the door still on the phone with Arizona "Where are you now? Robbins? Arizona?" There was no reply from the blonde but Bailey said "I see the hospital Aunt Miranda."
Right then the chief could see the car swerving into the Ambulance bay. "Get a gurney!" The car stopped and Miranda went over to the drivers door and opened it. She reached over and put the car in park and said "How are you Arizona, you okay?" Arizona nodded. The chief looked in on the kids in the back, she started barking orders "Someone come get the kids and take them to daycare. Where's that gurney?"
Arizona was placed on the gurney and wheeled into a the delivery room. She was telling the interns to make sure daycare fed the kids. Miranda and Gwen undressed Arizona and placed her on the bed. Arizona started whimpering "Where's Meredith? I need her."
Gwen said "She's in surgery, Dr Webber went to take her place, she will be here in a few minutes. Let's get you in the stirrups and see what's going with the little one okay?"
Another contraction hit and Arizona screamed and grabbed the chief's hand and squeezed. "I need Meredith. Please?"
Meredith came rushing in the room in a panic. "Arizona? Are you okay? Are you in pain?" she turned to Gwen not giving anyone a chance to answer "Is she okay? How's the baby? Is it time? How much is she dilated? Did you give her something for the pain? Why isn't anyone answering me?"
The chief stepped up "Grey, you haven't stopped talking long enough for anyone to answer."
Gwen said "She's at 8 centimeters, so not much longer. Both heart rates seem to be normal and I'm afraid it's a little too late for pain meds" Right then another contraction hit.
Arizona moaned and pulled her wife closer to her "Meredith, I can't do this. I changed my mind. Make it stop." She had big huge tears in her eyes. Meredith kissed her forehead "You can do this. You are so strong. I am here and I know you can do this."
Meredith asked Miranda if she would go call Arizona's parents. She agreed and left the room. Gwen checked the Arizona again and told Meredith that she moving rapidly. Gwen wet a cloth and handed it to Meredith who wiped her wife's face.
Gwen said "Arizona, you need to get ready to push okay?" After a few minutes of pushing little Anna Danielle popped right out. "Meredith do you want to cut the cord?" Asked Gwen. Once it was cut, Gwen wiped her down and laid the little bundle onto Arizona's bare chest for skin to skin contact. Both Moms were crying. Little Anna had a head full of little blonde curls. Meredith kissed her new daughter and and her wife. "I am so proud of you. I love you so much." Arizona was crying and laughing both at the same time, she couldn't believe it. She was holding the most precious gift. After a moment, Gwen said "Arizona, we're going to have to check her out now okay?" She lifted the little one who instantly started crying. Meredith started laughing "We got another Ellis." Meredith walked over to where Gwen and an intern were checking out the crying infant. She put her finger down for the baby who grabbed it immediately and stopped crying. Meredith couldn't stop staring. "Arizona she looks so much like you, and Oh my God, she has your dimples."
Once Arizona was settled into a room with the infant there was a knock at the door. In walked Barbara and Daniel. They had picked up the girls from school and dropped them at daycare with their brothers and sister. Barbara rushed in and kissed both women and went straight to the baby. "Oh, she looks just like you when you were born." Daniel looked as if he was going to pop the buttons off his shirt. Arizona asked about the other kids.
After Grandma and Grandpa both had their chance to hold the newborn, Barbara asked Daniel if he would go get the kids. Anna was starting to get fussy when Barbara asked, "Have you tried feeding her yet?"
Arizona looked panicked and said "No, I don't know how."
Barbara said "Honey, she will know what to do. It's the most natural thing in the world."
Arizona uncovered herself and held Anna to her breast who latched on right away. The little 8 pound 9 ounce angel was hungry. Arizona teared up and Meredith wiped them away. Meredith said "That is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."
There was a commotion at the door and in popped the kids and Daniel. The girls stood at the foot of the bed while Sumy asked Barbara to lift him up. Bailey looked at his Momma and his new sister and said "What is happening here?" As he climbed up on the bed.
Meredith tried to cover her wife and Arizona said "Meredith, why bother? I am sure that in the next 8 or 9 months they all are going to see it." She turned to Bailey and said I am feeding your sister."
Bailey climbed up closer on the bed and would not stop staring "She eats out of your lady bumps?" Arizona nodded and Bailey said "it's good that you are doing it and not Mommy 'cause she'd probably gets hungry if Mommy used her lady bumps."
