The next couple of days were hectic and busy. Which was good because it kept Arizona's mind off waiting for test results. She was just finishing up for the day when she was paged to to Bailey's office. She knocked and Bailey asked her to come in and sit down. "What's going on?" Arizona said. Bailey handed Arizona an envelope. "It's your test results." "Oh okay. Thank you." as she took the envelope from the chief she stood and started to walk away and Bailey asked "Well, aren't you going to open it?"
Arizona turned and said " Yeah. I um... I will."
She went to her office and paged Meredith who showed up within minutes. "Arizona did you page me? I was getting ready to get the kids from daycare. What do you need?" Arizona picked up the envelope and waved it in the air. "Test results." Meredith saw that the envelope wasn't opened so she grabbed Arizona by the wrist and said "Come on. You are going home with me."
They went to the attendings lounge to change and headed down to daycare. Arizona helped by carrying Ellis. She could barely remember Sofia this young. They started walking out and Arizona asked "What about my car?" Meredith looked at her and said "it's not going anywhere." They all piled into Meredith's SUV and Meredith said that Alex was home but that Maggie had a late surgery and wouldn't be home for a couple of hours.
They arrived and started unloading the car and Alex walked out to help. He said "I started dinner." And both women were very grateful when they smelled the food cooking. Arizona told Alex "I'm impressed, I didn't know you could cook." Alex informed her that he cooked a lot for his brother and sister when they were younger. They busied themselves setting up the kids while Meredith made a salad. They finally were able to enjoy the chicken and mac n cheese that Alex had made.
After dinner, there was dishes and baths and homework. Arizona made her nightly FaceTime call to Sofia which was a big hit with Zola and even Bailey. Callie got on the line after Arizona and the kids had all said their goodbyes and scolded Arizona over speaker phone "Thanks for that. Now Sofia is going to be too wound up to go sleep and I have an early surgery in the morning. What are you doing at Meredith's house anyway?" Arizona started to reply and Meredith took her phone and told Callie she didn't need to concern herself with what Arizona was doing and that Arizona had every right to talk to Sofia since she so graciously allowed her to take the little girl across the country. She then disconnected the call. Arizona sat with her mouth open just staring at Meredith in shock. Meredith looked up at the blonde and said "What? That was long overdue and you are too nice." She shrugged and walked away saying she was going to put Ellis down and would Arizona mind reading a story to Zola and Bailey?
When the kids were finally down. Meredith took Arizona into the living room where Alex was watching a basketball game and grabbed the tequila and shot glasses. "What's this for?" Alex asked and Meredith waved the envelope and said test results. They all took a shot and Meredith handed the envelope to Arizona. Who held it out like it was a dirty diaper. Meredith took it back and laid it down and they all took another round of shots.
Maggie walked in after the 4th round and said "What's all this?" "Test results" Meredith says. Alex tells Maggie that there is a plate of dinner in the oven for her. She goes to the kitchen to retrieve it and returns to see Meredith and Arizona in a fit of giggles. She asks Alex "How many have they had?" He just shrugged. Meredith told Maggie in between laughter that Arizona had taken the envelope with the test results from the chief and just walked out." Arizona said "Meredith, I feel awful. I was just in shock and Miranda was sitting there waiting to learn the results, and I just walked away." This started Maggie and Alex to laugh as well. Meredith said "See, you are too nice, the chief doesn't need to know everything."
Maggie then asked "So I assume since everyone is so happy that the results are good?" That stopped the laughter. Arizona held up the unopened envelope. "I can't open it, you do it" she handed the envelope to Meredith and nodded and opened the envelope. She turned to Arizona and said "No matter what this says, you are not alone. Understand?" Arizona nodded as Meredith removed the paper and looked it over. She looked up at Arizona and smiled. "Benign" Arizona let out the breath she didn't even realize that she was holding. She grabbed the bottle and took a big swig and smiled a full dimple smile.
After several more celebratory shots, Maggie took away the bottle. She grabbed them both a water bottle and asked Alex if he could help get the women upstairs. Alex picked up Arizona and carried her up and laid her down on Meredith's bed and turned to go to his own room. Meredith stumbled in and they both started giggling again. Maggie scolded them to keep it down before they woke the kids. They promised to be quiet. Maggie left and it was just the two of them. Meredith pulled out two big nightshirts. She then proceeded to strip down to nothing but panties and pulled one of the nightshirts over her head. She handed the other to Arizona who just held it. She was a little bit drunk and a little bit in shock as Meredith had just stripped in front of her.
Meredith decided to help the blonde. She removed her shirt and was trying to take off the blonde's pants when Arizona asked her stop. Meredith looked into her eyes and said "What's wrong? Is it the leg?" Arizona was embarrassed. She started looking at her hands and said "No, it's not the leg. It's... um...Oh God, I um..." Meredith told her "You don't have to be embarrassed Arizona. What's wrong?" "Okay, well you just undressed in front of me and started to help me get undressed, and you are beautiful and... I'm a lesbian and I haven't had sex in a long, long time." Meredith lifted the blonde's head so she could look her in the eyes and said "You think I'm beautiful?"
Arizona blushed and said "That's what you got out of that?"
Meredith continued she to look into blue eyes and said "Arizona, Can I try something?" She leaned in and placed her lips against Arizona's and couldn't believe how soft and right it felt. She deepened the kiss until she needed to break for air. She looked back into those bright blue eyes and said let's get you ready for bed. Arizona was dazed. That was the best kiss she had had in a long time. Meredith's voice broke her out of her trance and Arizona proceeded to remove her pants and prosthetic. She then pulled the nightshirt over head. Meredith climbed into bed next to her and grabbed Arizona's hand. She turned her head slightly and said "Arizona, I'm glad your boob is okay. It's a good boob." They laid in silence until they both fell asleep.
