Several weeks have gone by and the kids have adjusted well. Arizona, Meredith and Barbara were in the kitchen preparing dinner while the Colonel was in the backyard refereeing a soccer game between the kids.
Barbara stopped what she was doing when Arizona walked past her. She grabbed her daughters wrists and studied her daughters midsection and said "Arizona, you have just popped out over night." Barbara turned to Meredith and said "Meredith you were right, her chest has really grown too, you better take advantage of that now while you can."
Meredith laughed and Arizona protested "Mom!"
Meredith kissed her wife "She's right, I better take advantage now."
Arizona blushed and groaned "Don't talk to my Mom about out sex life."
Barbara scolded her daughter "Oh Arizona, I want Meredith to come to me, she never had a proper relationship with her own Mom and I want to be there for her."
Arizona replied "And I'm glad Meredith comes to you, but not about our sex life."
Meredith sat back watching the exchange with a smirk on her face.
Barbara protested to her daughter "Arizona, I know all about orgasms. I knew about them long before you came along."
Arizona groaned and turned to her wife "You see what you did?" She put her head in her hands while her mother and her wife laughed at her.
They had a nice family dinner, everyone talking and laughing. Barbara and the Colonel left after dinner they were looking at a house early the next morning. Arizona still couldn't look her Mother in the eyes.
Sumy's vocabulary was growing every day. He wasn't shy at all. When Callie came by to pick up Sofia he went straight up to her and started a conversation about his truck. He looked sad when he saw Sofia with her bag. "You go?"
Sofia bent down and hugged her new little brother "I'll be back. I'll see you on Friday. Okay?" Sumy nodded and waved bye.
He walked into the living room and climbed on Meredith's lap with his truck. Arizona saw the sadness in his eyes and told the little one "Sofia will be back. We all miss her when she's gone." She decided to try bribery "Hey kids, lets have a movie night" They let Bailey pick the movie and after about an hour Sumy and Bailey were both asleep. Arizona put Ellis down and came back to help so Meredith handed Sumy to Arizona and she picked up Bailey. She told her wife "You won't be able to carry him much longer. Come on Zola, we can have girl time once we put the boys down."
They put the boys in bed and the three girls climbed into bed. Arizona looked at Zola and said "You've been quiet all night, is something bothering you?" Zola just shrugged.
Arizona looked at Meredith because this was not like the little girl. She was always so confident and sure of herself.
Meredith asked "Zola? What's wrong?"
Zola looked at her Mothers and said "Kayla at school said it's not normal to have two Moms."
Meredith started mumbling "It's that snooty uptight bitch Mom of hers..."
Arizona stopped her wife. "Zola honey, what your Mommy was trying to say is there isn't any such thing as normal. Every family is different. I think what your little friend really meant is that your family is different from hers."
Meredith snorted and looked at her daughter and said "Zola, we have so much love in this family that other people are jealous. Especially three time divorced losers like Kayla's Mom."
Arizona just shook her head and said "Sweetie, don't repeat what your Mommy just said, but know that she is right. We do have so much love." She kissed her daughter and said "You want to sleep with us tonight?" She looked at her wife and said "Mommy talked too much to Grandma and I think I need someone else to snuggle with tonight."
Meredith groaned in protest.
The following week they had the last home visit with the social worker and now had a court date for the adoption. Arizona asked Callie if she minded that they kept Sofia out of school on adoption day. They wanted the whole family to be together. Callie agreed and Arizona told Meredith how proud she was of Callie.
Meredith snorted "Yeah, she's being an adult." Arizona swatted her wife on her bottom and said "Don't be that way." She pulled her wife in for a kiss and said "I think that we need some alone time." As she kissed her wife down her neck "Want to go to my office for a quickie?"
Meredith pulled away and said "Aren't you afraid I'm going to say something to your Mom?"
Arizona laughed and said "I think you learned your lesson."
Today was adoption day. Meredith and Arizona adopting Sumy and Arizona adopting Zola, Bailey and Ellis. They decided previously that Sumy would take the last name Grey. Arizona had taken Grey as her last name when they married but still went by Robbins professionally. The new baby would be a Grey as well. Zola, Bailey and Ellis were all Shephards and Sofia was a Sloan Torres. Their last names were as unique as the dynamics of their family.
They all listened to the judge as she expressed her admiration for the two women and the love they had in their family. She congratulated them all and banged her gavel. Meredith looked to all the kids "Let's celebrate! Who wants ice cream?"
