Chapter 18
A month later
With Arizona
Arizona is up packing for their trip. Arizona decided to let her girls sleep in. Elli and Arizona decided that they should go to Vancouver, BC first. All four decided to do their wedding in Seattle but do their honeymoon in the Cayman Islands.
A knock disturbs the blonde. Arizona opens the door and it's Meredith.
"Hey, Mer come on in." Arizona steps to the side to let Meredith in.
"Hey, sorry to stop by so early. I wanted to bring this fruit bowl over before you guys left." Meredith sets the fruit bowl on the counter.
"Thanks. Callie's not even going share the fruit. I'll leave it for her and the baby." Arizona said as she continues to pack.
"How are you holding up? You know after everything?" Meredith takes a seat on the couch.
"Good and Bad. I mean my brother could've died, Damn. All of us could've died, by we killed Xavier for our loved ones. This man has been on the FBI's most wanted list for years now, and we finally killed him. We got our revenge. I mean it feels good knowing he's gone, but it's bad because he caused a lot of damage. He caused Elli the most damage. That' why she had the right to kill him and she did." Arizona smiles.
"I'm glad she did. What about Scott? I know he was trying to make sure he was undercover, but he said some nasty shit Arizona."
"He apologized for it. He's bringing Aria with him on this trip. Scott needs to clear his mind. Even though he has a little girl with Kelsey, I think Scott really likes Aria. He and Kelsey went through a lot and she didn't take his PTSD well. That's why they divorced. Scott with through some shit, but I want to make sure that he's okay. Xavier and Mark caused more trauma in his life, and he didn't need that." Arizona said honestly.
Meredith nods. "Thank you for bringing Elli into our live Arizona. She's been taking care of my sister, and that's all I want for Lexie is for her to be happy." Meredith said.
"Hey, one thing about Elli is that she's never going to let Little Grey go. She loves her, and she's had a crush on Little Grey for years now. Felicia is not allowed back in Seattle. So, this hopefully this trip will relax us." Arizona sighs leaning against the kitchen counter.
"I'm glad you guys got time off. Look, I'm heading into work. Call me if you guys need anything." Meredith said hugging Arizona.
"We will. Be good, Grey." Arizona sends her a wink.
"No, you and Elli be good." Meredith laughs as she leaves Arizona's place.
Arizona goes back to packing until she feels arms around her body.
"Hi." Callie mumbles into her shoulder.
Arizona smiles. "Hey, baby. Meredith brought you a fruit bowl. I was just finishing packing up." Arizona said giving her a quick kiss.
Callie nods. "Thank you. It feels good to have you home." Callie said with tears in her eyes.
"It feels good to be home with my babies." Arizona chuckles. "I couldn't leave my girls." Arizona said placing a hand on Callie's belly.
"You think it's a girl?" Callie asked wrapping her arms around Arizona's neck.
"I do. I can't wait. You ready for a vacation?" Arizona gives Callie a quick kiss.
"Yes I am. We need a break. Little Grey and Elli ready?" Callie asked going over to sit on the couch.
Arizona nods. "Yep. Actually, let's get on this road. I'll go load up our bags." Arizona said grabbing her keys.
"I'll get Sophia ready." Callie kisses Arizona's cheek before heading into their daughters' room. Arizona grabs the bags and heads downstairs to load them up.
…..
With Elli
Elli finishes putting bag in the back of the car. She smiles when she sees little grey coming out of her place eating some gram crackers. Elli walks over and opens the door for her fiancé.
"You okay, babe?" Elli asked the beautiful girl.
Lexie smiles. "Yeah, I am. Where are we going?" Lexie asked with a raised brow.
"Not telling you." Elli grins gleefully.
Lexie rolls her eyes. "I swear you and Arizona are the only two who gets excited off a surprise." Lexie laughs getting into the car.
Elli shuts the door and gets into the driver side. Elli drives off to head to their destination.
"Any music requests?" Elli asked plugging in her phone.
"Yes, do "She" by Hayley Kiyoko. I love that song." Lexie smiles drinking her tea.
"Good choice baby." Elli winks at her and continues to drive.
Lexie nods her head to the song. "I never got the chance to ask you if you're okay." Lexie said.
Elli smiles softly. "He's gone. That's all I've ever wanted, was X dead. What he did to my family, to others, I had too."
Lexie nods. "Me too, huh?" Lexie asked with soft eyes.
"Yeah, and that includes the both of you." Elli reaches over to rub little grey's belly.
Lexie smiles. "Aww. I'm glad he's gone too, to be honest." Lexie said grinning.
"Same, babe. Now, I know you've been craving ice cream, Vanilla bean to be exact." Elli laughs.
"I'm craving this too." Lexie said grabbing Elli's bulge.
Elli stops laughing. "That's not funny." Elli said shaking her head at little grey.
"Fine, so why do you and Arizona keep everything a secret?" Lexie asked pulling her hand away from Elli.
"We love surprising the people we love and care about. We've always been like that." Elli shrugs.
"Is Scott coming too?" Lexie asked pulling out some goldfish.
Elli nods. "Yeah, Aria is too. We all need a vacation." Elli told her girl. "We get to let go of our fears on this trip."
"I know need to let go of a lot of my fears." Lexie said looking over at Elli.
"We all do, baby. Trust me you're going to enjoy this trip." Elli reaches over and grabs Lexie's hand to kiss it.
"I'm so excited. A week off from work." Lexie sighs in happiness. Something little grey deserves.
Elli chuckles. "Yeah, it's good knowing men like Dr. Webber granting us to have a week off." Elli continues to drive.
"Babe, why did X turn on the unit?" Lexie asked carefully not wanting to make her fiancé mad.
Elli gulps. "He wanted power. He wanted to take control of our unit, but Clarence ended up having Intel on him, and my dad was a part of the police force, so he took down X's dad. X and his family sided with the wrong people." Elli explained.
Lexie nods. "No one is getting out of jail, right?" Lexie asked nervously.
"No. They're all separated. We even found out that X had hired henchman, so they're locked up too. No one is taking my family away from me again." Elli said with a small smile.
"Good, because we don't want to leave." Lexie kisses Elli's cheek. "I'm sleepy."
"Go to sleep, baby. Enjoy the ride." Elli said putting on some soft music.
Elli continues to head north with a smile on her face. She can't wait to start her life with Lexie.
…
2 hours later
Lexie wakes up and realizes she's in a cabin. She frowns as she doesn't see Elli anywhere. Lexie stands up and walks downstairs to see Callie making some lunch.
"Hey, Callie." Lexie said walking up to her.
Callie smiles. "Hey, little Grey. You sleep, okay?" Callie asked putting some bread into the oven.
"Yeah, where are we?" Lexie asked looking around the cabin.
"We're in Vancouver. Scott and Aria just got here, so they're setting up outside. How are you feeling?" The Latina asked going to sit down on the couch.
"Blessed. I'm so Blessed to know, that X is dead, and that his goods are gone. I'm glad Elli and our friends made it back home safely." Lexie sighs.
Callie smiles. "I feel the same way. Does Meredith approve of your engagement?" Callie raises a brow.
"She shrieked in happiness. Then she gave Elli "the talk." Lexie said using air quotes.
The door opens.
"Hey, baby. You're finally awake." Elli said.
Lexie turns to see a girl standing beside Elli. "Hey, Jenny?" Lexie stands up.
Jenny smiles. "Hi, Lexie." Jenny hugs her.
"So, what's up with this girlfriend of yours?" Elli crosses her arms.
Jenny sighs. "Elli, please be nice when Mellie comes here. I don't need you embarrassing me." Jenny whines.
"Don't worry she won't." Lexie said sternly.
Elli clears her throat. "Fine, but she if she says something out of place, she's out of here." Elli walks outside.
"Is it always like this?" Callie speaks up.
Jenny nods. "Yeah, but she means well. Arizona told me you guys are expecting your second child. Congrats, Callie." Jenny said in excitement.
"Thank you. You want to make extra by babysitting Sophia sometimes?" Callie offers.
"Sure, I need another job anyway. I work at a nurse's clinic. I'm trying to get into the surgeon field. I'm only part-time for now because of school, but I want Mellie and I too take the next step." Jenny said.
"Moving in with each other?" Lexie asked.
"Yeah, we're both in college. We've been dating for 4 years, we're ready. Elli would kill me." Jenny rolls her eyes.
"When did you start college?" Callie asked taking the bread out of the oven.
Jenny sits in a chair. "When I turned 21, I decided to wait because I wanted to work first. I got a job when I was 18, and I continued to work." Jenny shrugs.
"I bet your happy this is your last year." Lexie chuckles.
"You have no idea; I really want to be a surgeon at Seattle Grace." Jenny said in excitement.
"We can talk to Chief Webber for you." Callie said.
"Thank you, Callie." Jenny nods at her.
Lexie sits down. "We're only two months Callie, we still have a long way to go." Lexie whines.
Jenny giggles. "How's the pregnancy?"
"Besides the morning sickness, everything's been great." Lexie said.
"Arizona, and I have done this before so, I'm used to it." Callie shrugs.
Scott comes in. "Hey, girls. I got some steak and shrimp on the grill. I also brought my famous strawberry lemonade." Scott puts the jug of juice in the fridge.
"Thanks Scott." Lexie said with a smile.
"Always." Scott smiles back. "I'm sorry…for everything. I...I know what I did was wrong, but I didn't want my family to die, and I said and did some hurtful thing. I'll still turn myself in for what I did. I deserve it." Scott said turning to leave.
"Scott, did Aria forgive you?" Callie asked.
Scott sighs. "I don't want her too. I did her wrong, and Aria has been such an incredible woman to me. She's giving me a child, something I forced on her, but I happy she didn't abort our child. I want to serve time in jail for what I did, Callie, I don't care if I did help Arizona and Elli save the world. I deserve to rot after what I did." Scott explains.
"You mean that?" Aria said from behind Scott. Scott turns to see his baby mama standing by the door.
"Yes, I made a promise that I'm going to rot in jail, but I have to see my child first. As soon as our child is born, and I get to hold him or her in my arms then have the cops arrest me. I mean it, I deserve it." Scott said with teary eyes.
Aria sighs. "Scott, what about our child? Arizona said that you're always there for your family." Aria frowns.
Scott looks down in shame. "Aria, I forced a child on you. My mother didn't raise me to be like my deadbeat dad who did the same to her. I'm just like him. Just like him, Aria. I don't deserve to be in my child's life or yours. I want you to find someone better than me, I want my child to have an amazing life with their beautiful mother. I can't do this to you, knowing what I did. I don't want you to have to look at me for the next 18 years and +." Scott shakes his head.
Aria is crying now. "Scott, I do hate what you did to me, but I would ever abort my child. As far as forgiveness goes, I'm working on it, and this trip would be a good start." Aria said.
Scott nods. "I just want to pay for what I've done, I'm not a good man. I'll go finish cooking." Scott kisses Aria's head and then her belly before walking outside.
Aria wipes her eyes. "Wow, I didn't expect for him to say that." Aria sits down.
Callie sighs. "I've never met anybody who owns up for what they've done to a woman. Scott is going to turn himself in. Damn." Callie said.
Lexie clears her throat. "So, who's dropping Mellie off?" Lexie said changing the subject.
"Oh, well Alex has family up here in Vancouver so, it'll be good for her and Elli to try and get along." Jenny sighs shaking her head.
"I'll hurt your sister if she tries anything with Mellie." Lexie giggles. Lexie knows how to control Elli.
Arizona comes in.
"Hey, Mellie is here." Arizona said with a smile.
Jenny rushes outside making everyone laugh.
"Hey, baby." Jenny runs and jumps into Mellie's arms.
Elli is standing there with her arms crossed looking at the scene before her. Elli growls.
"I don't like her." Elli said with a hiss.
Lexie smacks her head. "You better be nice to her, or you'll regret it." Lexie said flicking her right cheek.
"Fine, if she does anything to my sister, I'm shipping her to Bangladesh." Elli said going into the cabin.
Arizona chuckles around her red cup.
"You know you better not try anything." Callie said sternly.
"I love Jenny, Callie. I'll have to agree with Elli on this one, she hurts Jenny, I'm shipping her to Norway." Arizona said looking at Jenny and Mellie.
Callie rolls her eyes and walks back into the cabin.
"Let's eat!" Lexie said going to help Aria and Callie set the table.
Elli looks on as she tries to figure out who this girl is. This girl has stolen her sisters' heart, it's up to Elli to find out about Mellie.
