They were late getting the kids down because Ellis was clinging to Arizona. This was a direct result of the baby not seeing the blonde in two days. Once she was finally down for the night, Arizona and Meredith both made their way to their bedroom. They were quiet. There were a lot of unresolved issues.

Meredith decided to speak "Arizona, I think we need to talk." She undressed and put on a night shirt and crawled into bed. Arizona was unsure of what to do so Meredith patted the side of the bed, so the blonde changed into her night clothes and sat on the bed to remove her prosthetic. She crawled under the blankets and turned to look at Meredith.

Meredith could see the uncertainty in the blondes eyes. "Arizona, I know what you were doing, but I want you to know you don't have to do that anymore. You thought I was going to choose between you and our baby and this little boy. By you leaving, you thought you would eliminate my need to make a decision. That is not how our relationship works. I told you before that you don't have to sacrifice your happiness. I would never expect that from you. I know that is how your relationship was with Callie because that's why you gave up Sofia."

Arizona looked down at her hands and the tears started falling. Meredith reached over and wiped them away. She used her finger to raise her girlfriend's head. They locked eyes and Meredith continued. "I'm sorry, I don't think I have done enough to convince you that you deserve more than that. We can't let what happened the other night happen again. We are a partnership. We should talk about things. Please don't ever leave me again. I need you" This time Arizona was wiping away her girlfriend's tears. She leaned in for a kiss. It was tender and it was slow and sweet. They wrapped their arms around each other and held each other tight. They slept like that the whole night.

Bailey was sitting at the foot of the bed when they woke up. Arizona smiled at the little boy and held out her arms. He crawled up the middle of the two women. "I'm glad you're back Zona. I missed you."

Arizona bent down and kissed the top of his head and said "I'm back buddy, and I'm not going anywhere ever again."

He looked at her and said "Does that mean you're my Momma?"

Arizona looked at Meredith who just smiled and shrugged. Arizona turned to Bailey "Do you want me to be?" He looked at both women and nodded and "Okay well that's settled then."

Bailey jumped from the bed and said "I'm gonna tell Zola we have a Momma now."

Meredith laughed and pulled her girlfriend into a kiss. "Good morning Momma" she laughed again said "Maybe we should make it official?"

Arizona pulled back and said "What do you mean?"

"We should make it official. Your Mom is going to send the Colonel after me. She told me I should marry you before I knocked you up."

Arizona was in shock "Wait. You talked to my Mom about me?"

Meredith said "Yes, I told her that I loved you and that you and Sofia are my family. Is that bad? Should I have not said anything?"

"No, I'm just shocked. You really want to make it official?"

Meredith said "Of course. I love you, I plan on growing old with you. Why not do it as an old married couple? I suck at this. I don't even have a ring."

"No, no this is perfect. Yes we should make it official." I would love to kiss you right now, but this baby does not like mornings." Arizona grabbed her crutches and made her way to the bathroom just in time. As she sat on the floor emptying her stomach,Meredith grabbed a wet cloth and was wiping her forehead.

"I'm sorry the baby is making you feel bad." Meredith said as she wiped down her girlfriend's face.

Arizona looked up with a twinkle in her eye and said "I'm not, As long as I'm having symptoms, it means everything is okay."

They were in the kitchen later going through their morning routine getting the kids fed and ready for the day. Arizona was taking the kids this morning as Meredith had a later start. Sofia would be back this evening. Meredith told Arizona that she had contacted the social worker and was expecting to hear something today. They kissed goodbye as Arizona loaded the kids up in the car. She dropped Zola off at school and headed to the hospital. She walked Bailey and Ellis into daycare and headed to the attendings lounge. She had just finished changing when she felt a rush of nausea hit her. She made it into the restroom just in time. After a moment she came out of the restroom to grab her toothbrush. She had an audience of April and Callie. "Hey" she said to them both.

April asked "Are you okay? We kinda heard that in there."

Arizona replied "I'm fine, just ate something that didn't agree with me." She waved as she walked back to brush her teeth. She hoped that her answer appeased the two women. She didn't think it would be an issue with April. Their relationship had been strained since she told Jackson about April's pregnancy. They talked some but it wasn't the same as before. She was worried about convincing Callie, she had never been able to hide anything from Callie. She finished brushing her teeth and was thinking she probably needed some ginger ale or something to calm her stomach. She walked back out to return her toothbrush and toothpaste to her locker and Callie was waiting for her. Callie was studying her and said "What's going on?"

Arizona gulped and said "I don't know what you're talking about?"

Callie said "Well, you text me to pick up Sofia a day earlier than we initially talked about and now you're getting sick in the bathroom. Are you sure you don't have Cancer?"

"No Callie, I don't have Cancer. I was called in and thought you would enjoy the extra time with Sofia. And I already told you, it was something I ate that didn't agree with me." She hoped she sounded convincing. It was easy to do since Callie was still hung up on her being sick. She tried deflecting "How was Sofia? The others really miss her when she's gone."

Which was apparently the wrong thing to say, because Callie exploded "Rub it in Arizona, rub it in. We already know she would rather be with you instead of me and my place is boring and there is no one to play with."

Thankfully at that moment the chief walked into the room. "What is going on in here? Torres I could hear you out in the hall."

Arizona said "Miranda, it's nothing. We're fine."

Bailey looked at the blonde and said "You're too nice, and I'm not stupid." She turned to Callie and said "You were told to behave yourself. This is not going to be tolerated in my hospital. Understand?" Callie nodded and walked out of the room.

Bailey looked at Arizona and asked "Are you okay?"

"Yes Miranda, I'm fine. I uh, well, it's just going to get a lot worse before it gets better." Arizona sighed as she walked out of the room.
