Chapter 5.
Arizona looked at her daughter unconvinced but decided to leave it for the night.
Meredith stood up. "Okay everyone. We're going to play Charades." She demanded and everyone laughed.
The next morning Bronte woke up to what she felt was a sorority house. April was lay on the couch, Arizona was curled up on the one seater chair, while Mer and Amelia were lay on the floor. You could tell they were affected by the alcohol. Sofia and Zola walked into the room with a plate of toast.
"As if." Zola laughed and got out her phone. She snapchatted the four drunk women and put it on her story laughing.
Sofia laughed. "That will be us three tonight."
Bronte laughed from the other side of the room. She checked to see if all the adults were still asleep before spilling information on the 'salesman' who knocked on the door last night.
"So…It was Justin! You know from business class?"
Zola tried to think. "Oh my god! That is so cute Bronts!"
Sofia smiled and ate her toast. "Go on girl! Are you going to kiss him tonight?" Sofia winked at her sister.
Bronte looked at Sofia. "Ssh! But yeah, why not!" Bronte sounded excited. Bronte did not realise that Arizona was awake and had listened to the conversation, but she was going to let Bronte go to the party, she decided she needed to let go of her daughter and let her have more freedom. Kissing a boy wasn't so bad if she liked him. What Arizona didn't know is that he was the dad of Bronte's unborn child.
April stirred slightly and opened her eyes. Holding on to her head she let out a groan, along with Arizona who 'woke up'.
"My head is unbelievably sore!" April couldn't sit still. She moved around on the couch, trying to get comfy, she had the hangover from hell.
"How much did we even drink?" Arizona moaned.
"A lot!" Bronte stated and laughed slightly.
"Yeah…You were all wasted." Zola laughed and looked at her mom and auntie who were still asleep on the floor. "Absolutely tragic." Zola jokingly shook her head.
Arizona and April laughed. "Amelia is the only one without a hangover. Isn't she lucky!" April said.
"I got a photo. I am going to show all your husbands." Zola turned to Arizona, "and your wife how wasted you were." Zola laughed.
Arizona looked at the girls and pulled a funny gasping face.
Callie walked through the door with Jackson, Owen and Riggs. They had just finished the night shift. Owen and Riggs stood next to each other; staring at Amelia and Mer. "Only ours could end up on the floor" Owen laughed slightly and sat down.
Jackson walked over to April laughing a little, kneeling down to her level of where she was sat on the couch. April was holding on to her head, moaning about her hangover. "Hey." He stroked her cheek. "Is someone a little hungover?" He teased. April pouted her lips. "It's not funny." She looked at him seriously. "You might want to move before I hurl on you." April held her stomach, trying to get past the motion of nausea which had just come across her. She never did handle hangovers well. Jackson smirked at his to-be-wife (once again) and stepped back slightly. She lay back and closed her eyes.
Amelia woke up feeling fresh and not hungover (obviously). She stood up and gave Owen a hug. Meredith was still fast asleep. Riggs lay down next to her and closed his eyes as he was still tired from work. Callie nudged Arizona to come into the kitchen. Arizona held her head and slowly as ever got up, trying to not make herself feel any worse than she did. As soon as she walked into the kitchen, the smell of food knocked her sick. She put her hand on her mouth, waiting for the feeling to go away. Callie raised her eyebrow and shook her head.
"That's what you get for drinking so much." Callie laughed slightly. "Especially without me." Callie winked but Arizona tried to do everything she could to not vomit.
"I spoke to Bronte." Arizona looked at Callie and smiled. "Everything is okay now." Callie smiled at Arizona, and gave her a hug, stroking her hair.
"Good! That's what I wanted. My family back together again." Callie smiled and Arizona gave her, her 'super magic smile'.
Sofia ran into the kitchen. "Mami, Mom!" Sofia was clearly excited, she had tears in her eyes, obviously seen to Callie and Arizona as happy tears.
"What is it baby?" Arizona looked at Sof to see Sof waving a letter in the air.
Callie looked at Sofia, as soon as she seen the letter she knew it was something exciting.
"UCLA have accepted me!" Sofia gleamed with excitement and happiness.
Arizona put her hand over her mouth, but this time it was to show how proud she was of Sofia. Callie embraced her into a hug.
"That's amazing Sof! I am so proud of you!" Callie was ecstatic.
Arizona ran up to Sofia and hugged her. "Oh my! That's my girl! You're growing up too fast! I am so proud of you Sof, you are going to be amazing! "
Sofia smiled and laughed. "Aw Mom!" She was over the moon.
Callie ran into the living room and announced to everyone in an extremely loud voice that Sofia had been accepted into UCLA. Sofia could hear cheers and claps from the other room. That sure did wake up Mer. Everyone congratulated Sofia and then left, leaving Callie, Arizona, Bronte and Sof.
A little later on, the three girls were at mers 'frat' house getting ready.
"Okay, so I've told my mom there's no alcohol at this party and his parents are there. So if she asks. That's what you say." Zola said to Sofia and Bronte.
"Yeah sure!" Bronte said while focusing on applying her eyeshadow.
Sofia looked at her sisters make-up because it looked as if someone professional had done it. "Bronte please do mine!" Sofia demanded in a sisterly way.
"Course." Bronte laughed.
A little later the girls come downstairs. Arizona, Callie, Meredith, April, Jackson, Owen, Riggs, Maggie, Alex, Bailey, Warren, Jo and Edwards were having some sort of gathering at Mers. Zola laughed at them all.
"Round two is it?" Zola looked at April, Mer and Arizona especially.
April frowned. "No, I'm still feeling it from last night." Jackson smirked and stroked her arm.
"Pizza night girls." Bailey said. "Just before a few of us have to go back to work." Bailey sighed and walked over to the girls. "Don't you all look amazing?!" Bailey turned to everyone. "How grown up do they look?!" Bailey had known these girls since they were born and loved them to bits.
Everyone laughed at Bailey.
"So proud." Arizona playfully said placing her hand on her chest.
"You all look amazing." Mer smiled and Amelia walked over to the counter an poured them a small glass of wine. She looked at Callie, Arizona and Mer. "They can have a little can't they?"
The parents exchanged glances and agreed. The three girls smirked and drank their wine.
Maggie got up. "I need to go back to the hospital. I'll give you girls a lift while it's on the way." Maggie got the keys and they said bye to everyone before going to the party
The girls made it to the house party and it was manic. Furniture had already been ruined. People were falling on the floor, throwing up and drinking lodes. Bronte laughed
"My kind of party!" She went straight to pour the girls some drinks. Sofia had soon found her friendship group, whereas Zola and Bronte's friendship group couldn't make it, so they had each other instead.
"I wonder where Justin is?" Bronte skimmed her head around the room.
Zola did the same thing, soon to find him making out with some girl from their history class. "Erm Bronts…" Zola tapped her arm. Bronte turned around to see him.
"Ah great!" Bronte downed her drink in one, along with Zola. Even though she didn't know Justin very well, she was still jealous as he seemed genuine the other night. "Let's just get hammered!" Bronte began to shout over the music, stumbling as she walked.
The whole night, Bronte and Zola kept refilling their cups with alcohol and dancing with random boys. At one point, Bronte turned to see Zola making out with Tom, the guy who's party it was. She didn't want to interrupt so went back to the kitchen, tripping over as she did, and went back to the drinks table. As she was about to pour herself another drink she heard a voice.
"Hey…I think you've had enough."
Bronte turned around, well and truly drunk. "D-d-don't tell me, wha-what to do!" She replied and turned around to see Drew her ex. She laughed in his face. "Especially…NOT you!" Bronte began to walk away but stumbled over. Before she knew it, again, she was face first on the floor and passed out.
Bronte opened her eyes to a bright yellow light shining in her eyes. She could hear both her moms, Amelia and April. Amelia was needed to do a head CT, seen as she hit her head, and April was her doctor for the night. Bronte held on to her head and coughed before grabbing the cardboard tub and throwing up in it. She felt a hand rub her back as she did. She turned to see Arizona.
"You okay now?" Arizona asked, and Bronte lay back. She nodded. To be honest Bronte was quite embarrassed, especially when she seen the drip above her. Great. She thought to herself. Amelia spoke to her.
"Your head CT was clear…You banged it when you collapsed so we had to make sure you were all okay." Amelia patted her arm.
Aprils stepped forward. "We've put you on a drip for now Bronts, just to give you fluids…Because you're dehydrated." April looked at both Callie and Arizona. Arizona was in her work scrubs, meaning she had to come from treating a sick patient to look after her intentionally drunk daughter. April and Amelia left the room to give them some time alone.
Callie looked more furious than Arizona this time. "Bronte! Again! Really?!" Callie looked at her ashamed. "Maybe a little bit of alcohol, but not to the point where you're on the floor unconscious!" Callie's voice began to raise. "When will you learn?!"
"I was just having some fun." Bronte spoke up quietly.
Arizona looked at her. She was sat by her side. Bronte turned to Arizona. "This isn't fun though, is it?" Arizona, didn't shout, but spoke to Bronte in a soft tone. She realised that shouting wasn't going to make Bronte listen to her.
"Yeah…I know…I am sorry." Bronte looked at her parents.
Callie walked to the other side of the bed and sat close by. "Is there any reason at all that's making you want to drink so much? You know, stress of…what's happened recently? Boys…School?" Bronte looked at Callie who was trying to sympathise with her.
Bronte looked at both her mom's. "Honestly?" Arizona looked at Bronte.
"Yes…Come on Bronts. You know you can tell us anything." Arizona gave her an encouraging smile along with Callie who sat nervously.
"I wanted both of your attention." Bronte lay back, in some way embarrassed.
Arizona and Callie looked at each other. She drank so much to get attention.
"Oh Bronte…" Arizona said to the girl.
"Bronte, you know we love you…" Callie said stroking her arm.
"Yeah…It's just everyone's been so caught up with Sof and her Uni offer, and I'm the disappointment." Bronte sighed and bit her nails. Arizona and Callie knew that was what she did when she was nervous or anxious.
Arizona hopped onto the side of the bed and wrapped an arm around Bronte. Callie held onto Bronte's hand. "Bronte. You are not the disappointment to the family! Okay? Don't ever say that again." Arizona said firmly but sympathetically and stroked her hair.
Callie smiled. "As for Sof and Uni, it's exciting. We are all excited. This is what we will be like when you go to University. Bronte even though we have been extremely angry at you these past few weeks, does not mean we do not love you and that we are not proud of you."
Arizona smiled. "We all do stupid things and make mistakes. When I was your age, I got drank too, I went out all the time with my friends, but my dad talked some sense into me, and now I save lives."
Bronte smiled at her parents. "You are grounded though." Arizona nudged Bronte softly.
"That's okay." She smiled and hugged both of her mom's.
Two updates in one night! Haha, hope you all enjoy! It's 2:45am here so I'm going to get some sleep! Night! Thanks for reading X
