They soon became inseparable. Arizona spent more time at Meredith's. Ellis didn't want to be with anyone but Arizona. She tolerated her Mother but really preferred the blonde. Meredith couldn't blame the little one. Arizona just had a way with her. Bailey and Zola enjoyed having her around as well. Maggie watched the two women with the kids at night it was like a well choreographed dance. They moved in sync and the evening routines had become like a well oiled machine. Maggie could see how happy everyone was. She was glad her sister had found someone. It was always a challenge when you have kids to find someone who would be good for you and them.
Callie had provided her with the information regarding Sofia's break. Arizona would need to fly to New York and pick her up and fly back to Seattle. Carlos her ex father in law was going to be in town at the end of the week so he volunteered to return to New York with his granddaughter. Meredith was concerned. It bothered her that Arizona would need to get on a plane for 12 hours. So when she overheard Bailey talking about a business trip she stepped in. If Bailey could change the day of her trip by one day, she could pick up Sofia and fly to Seattle. This would save Arizona from having to get on a plane. Now Meredith had to let the blonde know that she had interfered and hope that she wouldn't be upset.
Meredith found Arizona getting coffee with Maggie. Meredith leaned in to kiss her but Arizona put her hand up in front of her face and told Meredith no. Meredith looked at Arizona confused she had not been told no by the blonde before. She asked what was wrong and Arizona said "I'm sorry, I want to kiss you but I had a kid sneeze on me earlier and now I know I have strep throat." Meredith looked at her skeptically and said Arizona you look fine. Arizona explained her super power to be able tell when she was getting sick. She told them she was going to be tested after lunch and was going to go buy some soup and go home and get in bed, but she needed to clear her schedule first.
Maggie laughed at the two. She enjoyed watching their playful banter. Arizona asked Maggie if she would help Meredith with the kids the next two days because she knew she would be out sick. Meredith rolled her eyes and blew Arizona a kiss and told the blonde to text her when she got her test results.
Later in the day Meredith and Maggie were standing at the nurses station when Meredith's phone beeped indicating a text was coming through. She looked at her phone and Maggie asked " Is that Robbins? Did she get her test results?" Meredith looked at Maggie and said "Yes" she shook her head and said "It's positive." Maggie was stunned. They both looked bewildered because they did not expect Arizona to be right. Maggie said "Wow!" As they turned and walked away, not noticing Murphy and Edwards standing there.
Murphy went pale and Edwards asked her what was wrong? She had just remembered what Dr Grey had told her to forget several months before. She pulled Edwards close and whispered "Did you hear that? They said Robbins test results were positive."
Stephanie said "Yeah, I heard that but you don't know what test they are talking about. It could be anything."
Leah looked at her friend and told her that she did know. She told Stephanie all about that day she was working with Grey and Dr Robbins mammogram results showed a lump. Edwards was shocked, "You know, she has lost weight. I'm going to call Blake and get the scoop." She ran off to make the call.
Blake didn't know anything about it. She was sure that Callie didn't know anything about it either. At least she hadn't mentioned it and she was sure Callie would mention it. She thought Callie would mention it. She wasn't sure. She was going to ask the brunette when they got home.
Callie was shocked, she was sure that Penny's friends from Seattle were mistaken. If Arizona was sick, she would have told her ex wife. Although it could explain the sudden friendship with Meredith. She decided she would call and fish around to see what she could find out.
Meredith's cell phone rang and she answered " Hi Callie. What's up?" Callie replied that everything was good in New York and she wanted to check on how things were in Seattle? Meredith told her that everything was fine, she told her about some gossip that was happening at the hospital but she never mentioned Arizona. Callie couldn't hold back any longer, "Meredith, is Arizona sick?"
That stopped Meredith in her tracks. "Wow, I guess news travels fast. Yes, but what does that have to do with you?" She asked. She was confused. They had no idea that they were talking about different things.
Callie was taken back by that comment "Meredith, we have a kid together. I think I'm entitled to know stuff like this. Sofia is supposed to be visiting in a few weeks and I need to know that Arizona can take care of her."
Meredith was confused. She told Callie "Arizona will have no problem caring for Sofia, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm here if Arizona needs me." She could not believe that Callie was making such a fuss over strep throat. She couldn't wait to tell the blonde all about this odd conversation.
