"Does Alex know that you're here?" Meredith asks.
She and Cristina are finishing the champagne; Arizona decided to shower and let them catch up.
"Oh I ran into them at the airport, we shared a cab here," Cristina says topping off her glass and then Meredith's.
"I still can't believe that you're here!" Meredith exclaims reaching out and squeezing her hand. "It's really great to see you."
"I miss you Mer, but I freaking love the Swiss, you two should totally come visit me. Have you planned a honeymoon or anything?" Cristina asks.
"Uh, this is the wedding and the honeymoon for now. I planned it, she didn't even know until a few hours ago," Meredith replies.
"She didn't know what? That you were coming to Vegas or getting married this weekend?" Cristina asks.
"She knew that we were coming to Vegas, but I just asked her to marry me today," Meredith says taking a long sip.
"You planned a wedding without even asking her to marry you first? Well, you out lesbianed the lesbian!" Cristina retorts, laughing and quite amused. "You're really good at this, I think that you are a lesbian, you just didn't know it."
"Funny Cristina, I don't think so," Meredith replies. "I think I'm bisexual, you know like Torres."
"Where is she? I kind of thought she'd be here," Cristina questions.
"Cristina, why would she be here to watch her ex getting married?" Meredith reminds her.
"Oh right, I forgot about that, good point. So who all knows that you two are getting married?" she asks.
"Just you, Maggie, Alex and Jo," Meredith replies. "Arizona and I haven't really talked about it yet, so I don't know what she'll want to do when we get back."
"Everyone will be shocked about your quickie wedding," Cristina points out.
"Oh we're not telling anyone right away. I mean, look at our track record, between us we've survived a plane crash, car wrecks, a bomb, a mass shooting, I nearly drowned. Waiting isn't an option, life is short and we're both lucky to still be here among the living." Meredith counters. "And it's amazing between us. Look at me Cristina, I'm happy. I'm in love with a woman, who takes my breath away with her kindness and beauty. The kids love her, we're going to be an amazing family together."
"Mer, I'm really happy for you." Cristina says leaning forward in her chair and smiling at her friend.
"Thank you," she replies smiling back, then looking at the clock on the wall, she adds, "I should probably go get ready too."
"Me too," Cristina says finishing the champagne and setting the glass down. "Oh and I made dinner reservations for us at the Top of World," she informs her.
"But we had dinner reservations here tonight," Meredith replies.
"I told Alex to cancel them. We're meeting them in the hotel bar at 6, dinner is at 7," Cristina says picking up her bag.
Meredith steps into the bathroom as Arizona is sitting on the shower bench toweling off. "I'm sorry about that, I didn't know that Cristina was coming today," she explains.
"It's okay. I understand," Arizona says pulling herself up as Meredith hands her the crutches.
"Oh and we're meeting Alex and Jo in the bar at 6, then dinner at 7." Meredith informs her as she unties her robe before stepping into the shower.
"Well you better hurry, I thought we were meeting for drinks at 7," Arizona replies.
"Well, Cristina is taking us to dinner at Top of the World tonight, she, uh, canceled our other reservation," Meredith says reaching in and turning the shower back on.
"And Alex and Jo know already?" Arizona asks stepping in closer to her.
"Yes, they ran into each other at the airport and rode to the hotel together," Meredith replies, stepping in front of her to kiss her. "Mmm, I was really looking forward to sharing this huge shower with you," she says wrapping her arms around the blonde.
Arizona returns the kiss, her eyes dark with desire, "There's always tonight," she replies removing Meredith's robe and kissing her before she enters the shower.
"I know that you're not happy that we're going out to dinner with Cristina, but at least Meredith and Arizona will be there too," Alex replies when they get to the room.
"Alex it's fine, but why didn't you tell me that Meredith and Arizona were going to be here?" She asks.
"Well, it's a secret. They're here to get married tomorrow, which is why Cristina is here," he explains.
Shocked Jo sits down on the bed. Wow, she thinks, Torres is going to freak. "Wait, when did they get engaged?" She asks.
"Uh, today actually. Meredith popped the question when they got here," he replies sitting down beside her.
"Oh my god, are you serious?" Jo exclaims. "Meredith planned their wedding before she even proposed?"
"Yeah, I know it's kind of crazy, but you know it's not like they just met," he points out.
"Alex, it is crazy, but it's kind of brilliant. Why don't we do it? Why don't we get married in Vegas too?" Jo proposes, deciding to let him off the hook and just suggest it herself.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" he asks, "None of your friends are here," he points out.
"I don't need them, I need you. Let's just go to one of those chapels and do it. Hell, we could do it tonight!" She says excitedly.
"Uh, well", he says nervously, " What if we get married tomorrow with Meredith and Arizona?"
"No, it's their day Alex, we can't ask them to share it," she remarks.
"Actually," he says, "it's our day too," he replies.
"Wait, you mean you and Meredith planned this whole thing together?" she asks.
"Look Jo this whole thing was my idea, but I was worried that you would hate it and I started to cancel it. Then Meredith decided that she would surprise Arizona," he begins to explain.
"Wow, just wow," she replies before turning to him and kissing him, "Do you think that we have time to shower together?"
"Alex says they're on their way," Meredith says setting her phone down and taking Arizona's hand.
"Has he told her yet about the wedding tomorrow?" Cristina asks.
"He didn't say, so don't talk about it," Meredith reminds her.
"Okay, okay," Cristina says waving her off.
"There they are," Arizona says when she spots them entering the bar.
"Hey," Alex says to the others as he pulls a chair out for Jo.
"Jo you look beautiful tonight," Arizona says complementing the younger woman.
"Thank you Arizona," Jo says, then she adds, then nodding to the others she says, "Good to see you again Dr Yang, Dr Grey."
"Jo, please we're out of the hospital, it's Cristina and Meredith," Meredith says looking around the table.
"Okay, so what are you drinking?" Cristina asks looking at Alex and then Jo.
Jo looks over to see what Arizona is drinking and Alex says, "Makers neat for me," then he pauses and Jo nods at Arizona's glass, "and white wine for Jo."
Cristina gets the server's attention and then gives the order.
Their drinks come and Jo says, "We should drink to the newly engaged couple," she says holding up her glass.
"Congratulations!" they all hold up their glasses. Alex, Cristina and Jo all say congratulations in unison.
"Thank you," Meredith says rather pleased with herself and leans over to kiss Arizona lightly on the lips.
Jo reaches over and takes Arizona's hand to look at the ring. "This is beautiful!" she exclaims glancing over at Meredith, then back to the blonde.
"Thank you I'm still in shock, I think. I had no idea that this was going to happen," Arizona replies.
"Yeah, me either and when Alex told me, I mentioned that we should get married too," Jo says looking directly at Meredith.
"Ha! I knew it would work," Meredith says raising her glass triumphantly to toast with Alex.
"Oh and congrats that you're all smart enough to not have a big wedding in Seattle, the only ones that work are the quickie weddings, I mean look at April and Jackson," Cristina quips.
The others all exchange uncomfortable looks. "Oh come on, Kepner doesn't even believe in divorce," Cristina says impatiently.
"They're not divorced," Arizona replies. "And I think they'll work through it," she adds.
"They lost a baby and April did a tour with an Army Medical group," Meredith explains.
"Kepner joined the Army? She pulled a George?" Cristina asks shocked at the idea of Kepner in the military.
"Not exactly, she didn't actually join the Army," Arizona says, "She went as a civilian surgeon, but she's back now and they're going to work it out," she adds her voice cracking a bit with emotion.
Meredith looks over at Arizona a little worried, "They are working it out," she says to reassure her.
Deciding to change the topic, Cristina stands to motion to the server to bring the check. Then sitting back down she says, "Drink up, drink up, we've got a big night ahead of us."
"How are you doing with all this?" Arizona asks Jo. Cristina, Alex and Meredith were talking so much, the other two women excused themselves and went to the ladies' room together.
"Me? Arizona how are you? Engaged today and married tomorrow?" Jo remarks.
"Crazy, huh?" Arizona replies, then hesitating a moment, she asks, "Jo, uh, don't tell anyone just yet, okay?"
"Uh, okay. Are you not going to tell anyone that you're married?" Jo questions.
"I just want to make sure Callie doesn't find out accidently, I need to be the one to tell her, okay?" Arizona explains.
"Believe me, I definitely don't want to be the one to tell her," Jo replies. "Are you sure that she doesn't know? Because I was being pissy about spending Valentine's weekend in Vegas and then she told me that Alex had arranged for us to get married this weekend."
"Meredith must have told her, I didn't even tell her that I was leaving town," Arizona remarks.
"So are you moving into the house with her and the kids and Maggie?" Jo asks.
"I am, but not right away. We're going to ask Maggie if she wants to take over the lease at my place. Meredith seems to think she will since she has so little privacy at the house, and now that she's seeing someone it's been an issue." Arizona explains.
"What is it about that house and no privacy?" Jo asks laughing.
"I have to admit that it's kind of weird to think of moving back there," Arizona replies.
"No dessert, we're going to a show, I got us tickets to Zumanity tonight, unless you'd rather go to Zombie Burlesque, your choice really, Mer?" Cristina asks.
"I have no idea what either of those are, but I'm saying no to zombies," Meredith replies looking over at Arizona.
"I second no zombies," Arizona pipes up.
"Okay, Zumanity it is!" Cristina says picking up her phone.
"Wait, how do you have people in Vegas, when you live in Switzerland?" Alex asks.
"My step-brother is an accountant for one of the casino counting firms, he gave me a guy's number and said he could get me anything I wanted this weekend," Cristina states.
"Then why can't you get your own room tonight?" Meredith asks sarcastically.
"Oh Mer I've missed you and I was hoping that we could snuggle together like we used to," Cristina says gazing at her hopefully, then she busts out laughing, "Joking, I didn't think to ask him for a room tonight."
"You're an ass!" Meredith exclaims.
They are led to a private booth for the Zumanity show and as soon as they are seated a man in a tux appears.
"Dr Yang, this is compliments of Mr Rubenstein," the man says as he sets a bottle of Don Julio 1942 on the table with 5 glasses.
"My step-brother knows me well," Cristina remarks reaching for the bottle.
"Tequila seems like a bad idea," Alex points out.
"Come on Evil Spawn, live a little. We're in Vegas!" Cristina replies pouring tequila into each glass.
She hands each of them a glass, then holds hers up, "Let's toast to ... oh wait, got it. Second marriages!" She exclaims clinking her glass with each of them and tossing it back.
"Maybe we could toast to love and second chances," Arizona suggests.
"I'll drink to that," Alex replies clinking his glass with Arizona's and Jo follows suit.
"What should we do next?" Cristina asks as they leave the show.
"We should go back to the hotel, Cristina. We need to sleep," Arizona slurs a bit as she and Jo are half asleep on one side of the limo.
"Okay, okay, take them up to their rooms and then come back down to the bar, I'm not done with you two yet," Cristina says opening the mini fridge in the limo and handing Alex and Meredith each a bottle of water.
