Several weeks passed and they finally received news from the social worker that Sumy would be coming to Seattle. She advised Meredith to get the ball rolling with an adoption attorney. Meredith contacted the attorney and her and Arizona had an appointment later that day. He advised them he would have all the paperwork set up and they would just need to provide the marriage license once it was available. He asked Meredith if she wanted Arizona's adoption to include her three children.
Meredith looked at Arizona, they hadn't discussed it but in her mind Arizona was already her kids second parent.
She asked Arizona "What do you think? I don't want to pressure you into anything. The kids are already calling you Momma."
Arizona replied "I would like nothing more."
Meredith nodded to the attorney and he said he would set it all up. To just notify him once they tied the knot.
Arizona held her girlfriend's hand as they were leaving and said "My parents will be in town next week, they are going to start house hunting. Should we see about getting a couple of days off and becoming an old married couple? They could stay with the kids while we honeymoon.
Meredith put her hands on both sides of Arizona's face and pulled her in for a long lingering kiss. "Lets go talk to Bailey."
They walked into the hospital hand in hand and went straight to the chiefs office. There was a lot to catch her up on. They let her know that Arizona was expecting and that they had a little boy on the way to Seattle and that they were getting married.
Miranda shook her head and said "I'm happy for you both. Robbins aren't you glad I made you get a physical?" She started laughing at herself.
Meredith replied "I am, otherwise I would have never seen this one naked."
The chief said "Grey! Keep that nastiness away from me." Shaking her she dismissed them but reiterating how happy she was for the two.
Arizona told Meredith they really should go and look for something to wear for the wedding as most of her clothes were beginning to be too small for her. They also needed to decide on rings. They decided on simple white gold bands, neither were big on jewelry and it was hard for a surgeon to wear rings anyway. That was the easy part. Finding a dress was proving to be difficult. Arizona could not find anything that fit properly. Meredith finally broke down and told her girlfriend that they were going to have to go to the maternity store. It seems within the last week that the blonde had really started to pop. They finally found Arizona a peach dress that fit perfectly over her added curves. Meredith had already chosen a dusty blue dress. Things were moving along nicely.
Later that night after dinner, Meredith was scooping yogurt in dishes for dessert while Arizona was placing fresh fruit on top when Bailey said "Momma Zona, maybe you should skip dessert, you're growing round."
Meredith scolded the little boy "That's not a nice thing to say."
Arizona said "No Mer, he's right. I am growing round. I think we need to tell them."
Meredith looked to the kids and said "Momma has a baby growing in her tummy and that is why she is getting round."
Sofia and Zola squealed in happiness causing Ellis to squeal as well. Sofia hugged her Momma and said "I hope it's a girl."
Bailey protested "No way. There are too many girls already. I want a brother."
Arizona and Meredith looked at each and had a whole conversation without saying a word. Arizona finally kissed the little boy on the head and said "I'm sorry Bailey, but we don't get to choose and this baby is going to be a little girl. But, your Mommy and I do have a surprise for you all. We found out that there is a little boy in Africa that needs to be adopted and his name is Sumy and he will be moving in here with us in about 3 weeks. Are you all okay with that?" Once again the girls squealed and Bailey said he was happy to not be the only boy anymore.
They had decided previously that there was no need to confuse the kids by telling them that Sumy was Zola's biological brother right now. Once the adoption was final they would all be brothers and sisters. They would have the talk with Zola once she was a little bit older and could understand the concept more.
Bailey looked at Arizona and finally came and placed his hand on her belly and asked "How did the baby get in your tummy? Did you eat it?"
