"She's doing really well. We have her on the CPAP for tonight and she did take a bottle from Amy." Addison informs Arizona later after she is moved out of recovery and into her own room.
Then looking up she sees Amelia coming into the room with Timothy in the mobile isolette.
"I'm going to go and check on Daniella and let you ladies have some time together." Addison says, then reaches over to squeeze Arizona's hand and give Amelia a quick one arm hug. Amelia pauses a moment and kisses the redhead's cheek, before turning her attention back to the baby and Arizona.
"Hey, I've got someone who wants to see you." Amelia says as they approach the bed.
Tears running down her face, Arizona looks at him in awe. "He's okay? Did he take the bottle?" She asks.
The nurse had helped the blonde pump milk for them before the blonde was moved out of recovery.
"He did great and so did Daniella," Amelia replies, then adds, "You did great too, sweetheart," she says leaning in to kiss her.
"Thank you. I think you did well too, Mama." Arizona replies teasing her.
Smiling at her, "Your folks are still in with Daniella and if you don't mind, my Mom would like to come in to see you." Amelia remarks.
"Oh yes, I'd love to see her. Let her in!" Arizona says wiping tears from her face as Amelia walks over to the door and gestures for her mom to come in.
"Arizona!" Carolyn says crossing the room and kissing her. "The twins are perfect and you look so beautiful, doesn't she look beautiful Amy."
"She is radiant, Mom." Amelia says hopping up onto the bed while Carolyn takes the chair.
"Arizona, I spoke with Addison and she seems to think it will be at least 7-10 days before you take them home, which gives us plenty of time to update the nursery for twins. Your Dad is quite handy, so he'll be able to put the new crib together and your mom and I are going shopping tomorrow, everything you have is for Timothy." She explains.
"Carolyn, that's not necessary. We still have Sofia's baby stuff at Callie's and she was a premie too." Arizona reminds her.
"Okay, we'll talk to Callie before we go shopping then." Carolyn replies, a bit disappointed.
"You'll talk to me about what?" Callie asks entering the room.
"Sofia's baby stuff. Everything we have is boy." Amelia explains.
"Oh gosh, yeah. We have plenty of things in storage, I'll dig it out for you." Callie says as she makes her way over to the isolette to check on Timothy. "He's beautiful, Arizona." She says reaching over to pat the cube. "Oh and I just left Addison with Daniella, she's already knocked the CPAP off and pulled out the canula. They are checking her O2 Sats, but she may not need to have put back in."
"I need to see her." Arizona says a little frustrated that Addison won't let her go to the NICU yet.
"Okay, then here's a video that I took for you." Callie says handing over her phone to the blonde.
"Oh my god, Calliope. Thank you!" Arizona exclaims as she watches the video tearfully.
Silently Addison wheels in Daniella in her mobile isolette and everyone waits for the blonde to look up.
Finally, she does and then realizes there are two isolettes in the room.
Carolyn gets up and moves the chair, so that Daniella can be moved right in beside the bed for Arizona to see her.
"Hey Daniella," Arizona says softly as she slips her hand into the sleeve on the isolette. "Addison what are her O2 sat levels?"
"No Momma, I am doctoring today and she's doing really well, which is why I brought her in to see you." Addison replies standing over the isolette and looking down on the little girl.
"Okay, well I am going to go. Amelia walk me out please," Carolyn says leaning in to kiss the blonde's head.
"I'll be right back." Amelia says winking at her and then leaving the room.
Sitting in the NICU with a baby in each arm, Arizona is rocking contentedly when she spots Callie in the doorway.
"Hey, come in," the blonde says softly.
"Sorry, I just love to check on them before I do rounds. I didn't mean to interrupt." Callie whispers.
"You're not interrupting. I just finished feeding them and I don't want to put them back yet." She confesses.
Smiling Callie leans over the chair and looks at them sleeping peacefully in Arizona's arms.
"Has Addison told you when she'll release them yet?" Callie asks pulling up another chair.
"No, Timothy is already at 4.5 pounds, but Daniella is still under 4 pounds, I really want them to stay together. So we're going to try to pump extra and the nurses will try to get in a few extra feedings," the blonde explains.
"Sofia is so excited, we laid in her bed last night talking about the twins for almost an hour before she wound down and fell asleep." Callie says laughing.
"Yes, Mom and Dad had her up here twice yesterday and she's dying to hold them. We told her that she has to wait until they are well enough to go home," the blonde remarks. "Hey did Mom and Carolyn make it over to go through the baby stuff yesterday?"
"Oh yes, I gave your mom my key and they took Sofia home, gave her a bath and cooked dinner and went through the boxes. Are your folks really moving here? Because I have to tell you that would be amazing." Callie says running her hands through her hair.
"I think that they are, they've been wanting to ever since we had Sofia, but the twins have definitely sealed the deal. I think they spoke with a realtor the other day and Dad's talking about flying back at the end of the week to list their townhouse." Arizona explains.
"Oh, well Sofia would love that and I think you already know how amazing it would be to have them around, after everything we went through when Sofia was a baby. Thank god we had Mark, you know?" Callie reminisces.
"Yeah, he was a big help," Arizona says sarcastically. "Okay, he was mostly helpful. But he did make me play Rock, Paper, Scissors for Valentine's Day that one year that he was dating that hairdresser."
"Is it bad that she still cuts my hair?" Callie asks softly.
"I still go to her too!" Arizona confides.
Just then Callie's pager goes off. "Damn, okay I better go see about that." She says checking the pager. Then without thinking she leans over and kisses Arizona's head. "Oh sorry, that was weird." She says awkwardly catching herself.
Laughing and watching her leave, Arizona smiles. She understands the gesture, she's had that same reflex before after sharing a relaxing moment with Callie.
"How is it going in here?" Amelia asks standing at the doorway admiring the blonde and the babies.
"They both ate really well, but now my arms are asleep, so maybe you can come help get them back into their beds?" Arizona asks, unable to not smile with full dimples.
"I would love to do that, but first..." Amelia takes a photo.
"Amelia, stop with the photos. I need to get my hair done, it's out of control." Arizona says self-consciously smoothing her hair down.
"I just want to remember everything about this. I love you so much." Amelia says slipping the phone into her pocket and taking Timothy into her arms. "I love this guy so much." She says as she lays him down in the crib, then turning around she takes Daniella and kisses her, then adds, "And I love this sweet girl too!" She says laying her down in the crib. Then turning back around she sees Arizona crying in the chair.
"Sweetheart, why are you crying?" Amelia asks rushing to her and taking her hands and pulling her into a hug.
"I'm so happy, everything worked out the way it's supposed to, you know. It's crazy when you get your happy ending." She says wiping her eyes.
"Happy ending? Don't you mean amazing beginning? We're parents and soon to be married. You still want to get married, right?" Amelia asks as she pulls Arizona up to her feet.
Nodding and still wiping away the tears, Arizona doesn't realize that her Mom and Dad have snuck into the NICU along with Carolyn, Callie and Alex, who is wearing a suit.
Slowly she turns around and gasps. "What the hell did you do Alex? Why are you wearing a suit?"
"Well, when Amelia asked me to do this, I wanted to do it right. So who's got the flowers?" He asks turning around.
Addison hands over a bouquet to Amelia, then April hands one to Arizona.
"Who's got the rings?" Alex asks next.
Amelia smiles and says, "I've got that one covered Alex, let's just get this started."
By now Arizona has figured out that Amelia has arranged for them to be married in the NICU surrounded by their family, friends and babies and she's just beaming.
"Oh my god, you planned all this? Alex, you got ordained?" Arizona marvels at everything as people keep moving in flower arrangements to decorate the room with.
"That's Reverend Dr. Karev to you." He says laughing. "Okay, so take your places, April and Addison, front and center. Meredith and Carolyn, you take Amelia, Colonel and Mrs Robbins, you take Arizona. Places everyone." He says clapping his hands.
Then gesturing over to Ben to start the music, the room is suddenly filled with the wedding march as both brides are brought to the center. Amelia quickly takes two rings out of her pocket and hands one to Addison and one to April.
"Today we are witnesses to a special union between two amazing women, who are beginning a life together with twins." Alex begins the ceremony, "I am incredibly happy for both of them and proud to call them mentors and friends. Now ladies, I want you to repeat after me," he says smiling at them both and then continuing.
"We are gathered here in the presence of family and friends for the purpose of uniting Amelia Diane Shepherd and Arizona Robbins in the bond of matrimony. Now ladies, please face one another."
Waiting a moment for them to get situated, he continues.
"Arizona Robbins, do you take Amelia Diane Shepherd to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do." The blonde replies.
"Amelia Diane Shepherd, do you take Arizona Robbins to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do." The brunette replies.
"Now do you both agree to provide love and comfort in sickness and in health, for richer and for poorer, and remain faithful to each other in all things til death you do part?" He asks them.
"We do." They reply together.
"Now they will exchange rings as a token of their love and affection for each other." Alex explains as the April and Addison hand over the rings to the brides for them to exchange.
"Now it my great pleasure to pronounce you as married spouses, Dr Robbins you may kiss your wife and Dr Shepherd, yeah they get it, my work here is done." Alex says smiling as the two women kiss deeply with tears streaming down their faces.
"We did it, we're married and we're parents." Amelia whispers into Arizona's hair.
Turning around, Arizona smiles broadly at all the people who have crowded into the hallway to witness their crazy ceremony.
"There's cake in the doctor's lounge down the hall." Bailey announces, as she pushes her way in to the brides.
"Arizona, Amelia, congratulations, now when do I get to hold those babies?" Bailey asks quickly hugging them both.
"Ask Addison. She's the doctor, we're just the Moms." Arizona replies winking at the redhead.
"Go suit up Bailey, you can burp them." Addison replies nodding towards the NICU lockers where the parents have to scrub and gown up before handling their babies.
"I can't believe you did this without talking to me about it?" Arizona says when she finally gets a moment alone with Amelia.
"You're not mad are you? I just thought it was really fitting to do it here instead of at the courthouse." Amelia replies nervously.
"Thank you. And thank you for asking Alex to officiate, that was way better than some bored person at the courthouse." Arizona says kissing her cheek. "It was perfect, well almost perfect, we're still having a beach ceremony in June though." She reminds her.
"Only if we go to Hawaii for our honeymoon." Amelia remarks.
"Those terms are acceptable." Arizona replies laughing.
A/N: hope you enjoyed this one and stay tuned. I have a couple of new stories starting up next week. A Callie POV that I've been working on, that may or may not be CALZONA and the other may be a sequel that I promised a while back, I just have to see what inspiration strikes me to write.
