"Hey, we are here." Callie said as she sat down next to Aurora. She was waiting for her for over half an hour. Aurora wanted to share her news with Callie and Meredith. But along with those day came Amelia and Maggie.

"What is she doing here?" Aurora asked without even looking at Amelia.

"Me?" Maggie wondered.

"No, her." Aurora turned her gaze at Amelia.

"Ari, I-"

"No, we are not doing this now." Aurora interrupted her. "I guess, I'll get over with this for good. I mean, I have to tell Arizona too, but it's easier to tell Arizona than you." Aurora was thinking out loud, as none of them understood the meaning of her words.

"Ari, what's going on? Is someone dying?" Meredith asked her like it was the most normal thing. Which in their case, it was.

"No!" Aurora shook her head. "Just... remember how I didn't tell you I got engaged and you got a little mad at me-"

"And you promised that we will be maids of honor to make it up to us." Callie added.

"It's not happening." Aurora said and before she could explain any further, the four women talked over each other and Aurora wasn't sure which one was saying what.

"What?"

"You guys broke up, again?"

"No!" Aurora tried to calm them down.

"If he called it off, I'll kill him." Meredith said and Aurora smiled, feeling like that woman was going to take the empty seat Derek Shepherd left in her life. She needed a sister. She had Amelia, but they sometimes fought and they needed time. Like sisters do.

"Yeah, you don't have to do that." Aurora reassured her. "He and I- w-we" she stuttered and took a deep breath before blurring out the words. "There won't be a wedding, because we got married." Aurora looked at their faces, some were shocked, some were angry, but no one was saying anything. "Okay, I'm going to get a drink. Let this sink in."

"Oh, you're not going anywhere." Callie said with her mother tone.

It took a while for them to understand everything that happened. Mostly because Aurora hadn't fully apprehended that she was married.

Their lives hadn't really changed. The only thing that was different was that they had to start talking about having a family. Aurora didn't want to have kids yet, because she was in the middle of her residency. She only hoped that Jackson would be okay with that.

After everyone was okay with not getting an invite at the wedding, Amelia made them leave so she could talk to Aurora.

"I shouldn't have called you out like that about Mark." Amelia talked first. "I know it wasn't fair to treat Penny like that, but losing Derek just..."
