Arizona made herself comfortable in the back of the SUV and she told Amelia "You can just drop me off. It's on the way."

Amelia looked in the review mirror "Arizona, I can't let you be alone when you've had this much to drink. You can come with us. I can make sure you all are okay this way."

Arizona started to protest when Meredith interrupted "Arizona, everyone has stayed at my place at one time or another. You've stayed there before too, when Alex lived there. What's the big deal?"

Arizona mumbled "I need to take off my leg. I don't have my crutches here."

Meredith barely heard her. She grabbed Arizona's hand and leaned to whisper "You can still do that. I will help you. Okay?"

Arizona nodded and the rest of the ride was quiet. They pulled up in front of the house and Amelia helped Maggie out of the vehicle, while Meredith and Arizona stumbled up the steps. Amelia paid the babysitter and left to put Maggie to bed while Meredith went to the kitchen to grab water bottles for them. Arizona stood awkwardly by the steps. When Meredith returned she started up the steps and paused and looked back "You coming?"

Arizona sighed and followed her up the stairs. Meredith went into her room while Arizona followed. Meredith handed Arizona some clothes to change into and turned to change herself.

Arizona said "I uh, I can stay on the couch."

Meredith scoffed "Nonsense. Look how big my bed is. You can go on into the bathroom. There is an extra toothbrush under the sink."

Arizona changed and washed up and drank half her water bottle before she exited the bathroom. Amelia walked by and asked "You two okay?" She could see Arizona looked uncomfortable so she said "Arizona, are you okay?"

Meredith replied "I think she's nervous about sleeping in my bed." She turned to Arizona and said playfully "I promise I'll be good."

Arizona rolled her eyes at Meredith and walked over to the side of the bed and sat down. She proceeded to remove her prosthetic when Amelia asked "Hey Robbins, can I try on your leg?"

There was a pause before all three started to laugh. Arizona was grateful. Amelia had always had a way of breaking tension with her humor and it definitely made this situation less uncomfortable. Amelia told them to let her know if they needed anything and she left to go to her own room.

They each laid on "their" side of the bed and Meredith said "I'll try to stay on my side but I should warn you that I gravitate towards people in my sleep. Cristina hated it."

Arizona smiled and said "Thanks for heads up. Goodnight Meredith."

The next morning she could hear soft snoring. She felt a weight on her chest and realized that Meredith wasn't kidding. She was cuddled up into Arizona's side with her h ad laying on Arizona's chest. She tried to slide out without waking Meredith but she opened her eyes. Arizona whispered "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."

Meredith sat up "Oh my head. I am too old to drink like that."

Arizona replied "Me too."

Meredith said "Where are you going? It's still early."

Arizona replied as she put on her leg "I know but I need to go check on Chloe and I still need to finish Sofia's room. I can't believe she is coming home tomorrow. I am so excited. I still need to go to the grocery and pick up her favorites."

"Do you need help? I'm off today." Meredith asked.

Arizona thought for a moment and said "I don't want to take away your time with the kids."

Meredith said "Well, it wouldn't be all day and I am more than happy to help."

Arizona agreed "Okay, well I'm going to run home and shower and change and check on Chloe and I will text you when I'm ready. Is that good?"

Meredith agreed and got up to check on Ellis who she could hear from the baby monitor was stirring.

Several hours later after Arizona had spent some quiet time with Chloe, she texted Meredith and asked if she was still willing to help. Sh knew plans change especially with 3 kids. Meredith answered right away that she was ready any time. So Arizona pulled up in front of the house and was getting ready to get out when Meredith came out. "Hi, how was Chloe?"

Arizona told Meredith about her morning visit and the baby's current stats and Meredith said "Wow, it won't be long before she gets to come home."

Arizona said "Yeah, it actually is good timing. I will take my maternity leave and get to spend most of the summer with Sofia. Which reminds me, nurse Stacy was telling me that soccer sign ups are next weekend. I was going to sign her up. Do you think Zola or Bailey would be interested?"

Meredith laughed "Of course they would. Can we request they all be on the same team? It would be easier to get them to practices that way. Plus we can go to the games together."

Arizona replied "I'll ask Stacy, her husband is one of the coaches."

They spent the next two hours in little shops picking up things to make Sofia's room more homey for the girl. Arizona was worried "I want everything to be perfect but it's been a year since she was here, what if she doesn't like the house? Or her room? Or any of the things I bought for her?"

Meredith squeezed Arizona on her arm "Arizona, you don't have to worry. You know your daughter. Yes she has been away for a while, but you've talked to her everyday. You know what she likes and dislikes. She is going to love everything you have done for her."

Arizona answered "I'm just anxious. This is going to be a big transition coming back here, and then add a newborn. Especially one with potential special needs. I'm worried she will want to go back."

"That's not going to happen. You are a great mother and she missed you, and she missed Seattle, her school and friends and even all us crazy grown ups that have fussed over her since she was a baby. Please don't worry about this. Okay?" Meredith smiled at her friend "it's going to be fine. You'll see."

Arizona smiled. "Thank you Meredith."
