Chloe has been home for two days now. The three were adjusting well. Chloe didn't cry a lot. Only when she was hungry or had a dirty diaper. For the most part, she was a very good baby. She loved Sofia. Chloe's eyes followed Sofia whenever she was around. Sofia was fascinated with Chloe too. Arizona hoped it wasn't just the newness of the situation. Arizona's parents were coming at the end of the week and she was nervous about their visit. She hadn't seen her parents since the divorce but they did talk frequently. She knew they were disappointed that she couldn't make her marriage work. She hated to disappoint them.
Arizona was feeding Chloe when the doorbell rang. Sofia looked up and asked "Should I get it?" Arizona nodded and she watched Sofia who was so grown up. She had really changed in a year. Sofia looked out the window next to the door and said "It's Aunt Meredith." As she opened the door.
"Hi Sofia, how are you?" Meredith said as she shut the door behind her.
Sofia said "Momma is feeding Chloe." As they walked into the family room Arizona was laying the baby down in the bassinet that they had in the family room when they walked in. Meredith leaned over to see the sleeping baby and Arizona pointed to the kitchen "Do you want some coffee?" Meredith nodded not wanting to wake the baby and Sofia picked up her iPad and said "She won't wake up, Momma says she sleeps like me."
Arizona and Meredith walked in the kitchen and Arizona started a pot of coffee and said "What brings you here?"
Meredith said "Well, I wanted to see how you were doing and it's a madhouse at my place so I snuck away and left the kids with Maggie."
Arizona laughed "You are always welcome here but won't Maggie be worried about you?"
"I texted her to let her know where I was headed. She won't mind. She was being 'Super Aunt' and I wanted to check and see how you are doing."
Arizona poured their coffee on "We are doing great. Chloe is sleeping 3 to 4 hours at a time and Sofia is great with her."
Meredith and Arizona chatted for a while and finally said "Listen, uh, you know that Callie is coming back right?"
Arizona replied "Of course. We've discussed this."
Meredith said "Oh I know, I know I was just wanting to tell you that she called me last night and uh, it's just her coming back. Blake is going to Baylor. Well actually, she's already there."
Arizona sighed "Oh so they are doing long distance then?"
Meredith paused "Well no not exactly."
Arizona waited and finally said "What Meredith? Spit it out."
"They broke up." Meredith said studying her friend. She couldn't tell what Arizona was thinking.
"Did um, did she say why?" Arizona asked.
"No, but I thought you should know. She asked to stay with me until she found her own place. She didn't want to stay at a hotel because she didn't want that for Sofia when she stayed with her." Meredith was trying to gauge her friends reaction and finally asked "Well? What do you think?"
"I think that this is not my business. If Callie wanted me to know she would have told me." Arizona stammered.
Meredith responded "Oh come on, you know that isn't true. You two have horrible communication skills. I think... that all this" she pointing around "has brought up unresolved feelings and she is having a hard time with it."
This caused anger to rise in the blonde "I am not responsible for her having a hard time. I had a hard time. She caused me a hard time. She made me think we were okay and the next day she left. She said I suffocated her."
Meredith said "Hey, that's not what I meant." She studied her friend who looked devastated "What do you mean she made you think you were okay?"
Arizona shook her head "I can't discuss this with you."
Meredith said "You can tell me anything, you know that. But what I was saying was, I think she is thinking about what could have been."
Arizona quietly said "I think about that too."
Meredith felt bad for her friends. Both of them. They have had a hard time and she didn't know how to make it easier on either of them. She always felt that their relationship was parallel to hers and Derek's. They became parents at the same time and they even got married on the same day. She decided she would try to make things right for them. She couldn't have her happy ever after but they could.
