Arizona stirred awake, yawning loudly as she stretched her arms above her head. She rolled onto her side and reached her arm out, opening her eyes when she realized her bed was empty. She sat up and secured her prosthetic, throwing on a t-shirt and pajama shorts before walking out the door and down the hall.

The sound of clanking pans, sizzling pancake batter and loud music drew her towards the kitchen, and she couldn't suppress the huge smile that crept onto her face when she entered the room. She leaned against the doorframe, watching in admiration as Amelia scattered chocolate chips into the pan and skillfully flipped golden-brown pancakes, her voice smooth and carefree as she softly sang along to Maroon 5's "She Will Be Loved," clad in only a pair of underwear and Arizona's favorite Hopkins sweatshirt.

She turned around to reach for her coffee mug, jumping in surprise when she noticed the blonde. Arizona swore she could have melted into a pile of goo when the brunette blushed and bit her lip.

"Hey, you're up! I made breakfast! We have the day off, so I figured we deserved a decent meal for once."

Arizona said nothing as she walked towards the other woman, wrapping her arms around her and tucking her face into the warm crook of her neck.

"Hey, are you okay? What's wrong?" Amelia asked, her own arms sliding around the blonde's waist.

"Nothing," Arizona answered. "Everything's perfect. I'm just so, helplessly in love with you."

Amelia's heart fluttered inside her chest, and she pulled out of the embrace to place a gentle kiss on Arizona's lips.

"I love you, too."

The smell of something burning filled the air, and Amelia ran to the stove to flip the now blackened pancake that had been sizzling in the pan. She swayed her hips to the music and hummed along as she slid the pancake onto the plate on the counter next to the stove. Arizona smirked and chuckled as she watched her, not going unnoticed by the other woman.

"What?" Amelia asked, placing a plate of pancakes and a cup of coffee in front of Arizona.

The blonde smiled and sat down at the counter. "You're cute."

Amelia rolled her eyes, sitting down next to her. "I am not cute," she clarified, stuffing a large forkful of pancake into her mouth and chewing as she spoke, her words muffled from the food. "I'm hot."

"You're right," Arizona teased, wiping the smudged chocolate from the corner of Amelia's mouth with her thumb. "Very sexy."

"Shut up."

"When did you know you loved me?" Amelia asked, looking up at her girlfriend curiously. She lay on the couch, her head placed in Arizona's lap as the blonde ran her fingers through her hair. Arizona smiled at the question.

"You'll laugh."

"No, I won't! Tell me."

Arizona stroked her hand down the side of the brunette's face, tracing a path with her fingers from her cheekbone to her jawline. She smiled again and looked into Amelia's eyes.

"You snore. Not always, only sometimes... but when you do, it's really loud. Like, really, really loud." She paused before continuing. "One night, I came home from work... and I was beyond exhausted, hadn't slept in almost two full days... all I wanted to do was sleep. I walked into my room, and you were asleep in my bed, snoring. And normally, I would have hated it. If it were anyone else, I would have been super pissed... but that's the thing. It wasn't someone else, it was you. And I didn't mind it at all. I thought it was adorable, and I didn't know why... because if we're being real here, your snoring is the farthest thing from adorable. But still... I thought it was adorable. And that made no sense to me. I couldn't figure out why. But then... I realized it was because I was in love with you."

Amelia couldn't get herself to stop smiling, and she bit her lip timidly. "I'm sorry."

Arizona laughed. "For what?"

"For snoring."

"I just told you I think it's adorable."

The brunette chuckled. "Yeah, but still..."

She let out a sigh, her eyes drifting shut as the blonde threaded her hands through her hair, lightly scratching her scalp. She looked up at Arizona again before beginning to speak.

"We were at the hospital, it was really late... and I refused to leave because I was stuck on this case. I had this patient, this guy who was experiencing symptoms, but I couldn't find anything wrong in his brain. So I stayed, and I promised myself I wouldn't leave until I figured it out. You came into the room, and you said you'd help me. You brought me coffee, you talked me through the case... and I knew you'd been there all day, and you probably couldn't wait to go home. You definitely wanted to leave. Especially because I was tired, and frustrated, and super bitchy. God, I was such a bitch to you. I snapped at you when you were only trying to help me, and I took all of my frustration out on you. But you stayed anyway. And you totally called me out on it. You told me to suck it up and get it together... so I did. And we figured it out."

The blonde looked at her incredulously. "That's when you knew you loved me?"

Amelia laughed. "Yup."

"You're weird."

"But you love me."

Arizona smiled at her again. "I do."
