Meredith used DeLuca's key to let herself into Arizona's place. She came prepared with groceries this time. She put the bags down in the kitchen and went to find the blonde. She found her laying in the bed sound asleep softly snoring. There were Kleenex laying all over the place. Meredith quietly began cleaning up. She went to the kitchen to put away the groceries. She started laundry and washed the dishes. After about an hour she went back to check on Arizona. She sat on the edge of the bed and kissed her forehead to check if she was running a fever. Arizona stirred and blue eyes met Meredith's. "Hey, what are you doing here?" She said sleepily.
"I came to take care of my sick girlfriend." Meredith replied "Where's your thermometer? I want to check your temperature."
"Girlfriend huh?" Arizona said with a smile. Meredith winked and said "Of course. Now, thermometer?" Arizona pointed to the nightstand drawer. "I'm pretty sure my fever broke a few hours ago." Meredith opened one drawer and didn't find it. She opened a second drawer and pulled it out and instructed the blonde to open her mouth. Arizona did as instructed. When it was time Meredith pulled it out and read the temperature. "Well, your super power worked again, it's normal." She laid it back on top of the nightstand so she could clean it later and asked "Are you hungry?" Arizona replied that she was a little hungry but would rather have a bath to wash the sickness off.
Meredith told her she would take care of that. She went to the bathroom and started the water in the tub. She went back to help her girlfriend. Once Arizona was in the tub, Meredith started to wash her hair. She proceeded to tell her about her crazy phone call with Callie. Arizona was just as confused as Meredith was. She had no idea how Callie even knew she was sick. She had never known Callie to react that way before when she was sick. Once Meredith finished washing her hair she left the blonde to finish up while she went to make Arizona something to eat.
Arizona walked into the kitchen, the smell of cooking food made her stomach growl really loud. Meredith looked at her and said "Come on, let's feed that beast before it makes any more noise." She placed a bowl of soup and a grilled cheese down in front of her girlfriend, walked over and kissed her forehead.
Arizona told Meredith "Thank you for taking such good care of me." Arizona ate most of what her girlfriend fixed for her. When she was finished Meredith pulled her into her arms and held her for a few minutes and finally said "Come, let's get you comfortable on the couch while I clean this up."
Arizona settled down and turned on the tv. She was mindlessly flipping stations when Meredith returned to the the living room. She pulled Arizona's head into her lap and started playing with her hair. "I did something that you might not like." Meredith said.
Arizona turned so she was looking up at her girlfriend's face instead of the tv and said "What did you do?" Meredith swallowed hard and said "Well, I overheard that Bailey was going to be in New York and it just so happens that it is the same time that Sofia's break starts. So I asked Bailey if she could bring Sofia back to Seattle with her. That way you don't have to endure 2 back to back 6 hour flights. I mean the altitude is bad on your leg. It will start to swell. Not to mention, flying makes me nervous so I bet it makes you nervous too. I just want you to be able to spend time with Sofia without any anxiety and without the physical effects flying causes. I didn't mention it to Callie, I thought that it might be better coming from you. Are you upset with me?"
Arizona sat up into Meredith's lap and pulled her into a hug and said " I could never be upset with you. Thank you for being so good to me." She kissed Meredith "Thank you for taking such good care of me." They kissed again and Meredith pulled back and said "Oh by the way, don't think I didn't notice what was in your other nightstand drawer."
Arizona blushed and said "Oh you saw that did you? Well, there's more in the box in the top of my closet. I'll show you someday when I start to feel better."
Arizona returned to work the next day. Edwards was on her service and was getting on her nerves. Edwards was acting nervous and kept staring. Arizona finally was fed up and looked at Edwards "What? Why are you tip toeing around me?" Edwards stared with her eyes really wide. "I'm waiting" Arizona snapped. "Well, it's because you are sick." Edwards stammered.
Arizona roller her eyes. "Well I'm not contagious so stop it." Her pager went off, Bailey was paging her to her office, she sent Edwards to the pit and went to find the chief.
She found Bailey in her office. She knocked and walked in "Hey Bailey, did you page?" Bailey nodded and pointed to a chair. "Have a seat Arizona, I wanted to talk to you about my trip to New York."
Arizona interrupted and said "Thank you for that Miranda, I haven't talked to Callie about it yet, but I am sure she will be okay with you bringing Sofia back."
Bailey told the blonde "I am glad to do it. But I wanted to discuss my reason for the trip with you. I am interviewing a fetal surgeon." She paused "I had planned on discussing this with the board once I knew if my plan was plausible." She paused to see the blonde's reaction, not seeing any indication that she should stop she continued. "Do you know Dr. Gwen Richardson?" Arizona nodded Bailey smiled "Well, I heard that she is getting a divorce from her husband, and I also heard that her parents live in Portland. I thought if I could get her to agree to come here, we could become THE hospital for fetal medicine. Plus we add a fellow or two? It would lighten your load." She sat back pleased with herself and waited for a reaction from Arizona. "That's great news, Gwen and I have consulted on several cases together. She is an amazing fetal surgeon." Arizona was pleased, if this worked out her life would become more stable as she would have a backup and wouldn't be forced to be on call all the time. They continued this conversation for a few more minutes. Arizona was providing Bailey with information about Gwen hoping to give her an edge. Arizona's pager went off and as she was leaving she thanked Bailey again for all she was doing. Bailey asked "Arizona how are you feeling? Do you need anything?"
Arizona replied that she was fine and shook her head. She could not understand how the whole world has lost their damn mind over strep throat.
