SIX YEARS LATER

Arizona and I have been married for 6 years now. I became a peds attending at Grey Sloan Memorial. We were beginning to pack up our house. Arizona had been offered the job of her dreams in England. Chief of Paediatric and Fetal Surgery in London, she somehow managed to get me a job there too. But it meant that we were having to leave everyone and everything behind.

We arranged a leaving party at our house so we got to spend time with everyone before we moved. Pretty much the entire hospital came, even some patients who we had looked after made appearances. The party mainly consisted of us all sobbing. "You can all come and see us, and if you ever need us for a surgery, you have our numbers." Arizona says through sobs. I hug Arizona tightly, knowing how hard this must be for her. "I can't believe we are leaving." I say. "We are losing a piece of the hospital." April says as she sobs into Jacksons shoulder.

The food was devoured, mainly by me and Arizona because we couldn't stop crying. We had so much we had been doing and been talking about. About 6 months ago we started looking into IVF, we both wanted a child of our own. Carina had been helping us through the process and now that we have selected a donor and my eggs were ready, we had been passed onto Jo, who two years ago switched specialties from General to OB/GYN. Having my best friend as our OB is kinda good because we feel comfortable with her.

The decision we made was, Arizona would carry the baby and my eggs would be fertilised. Due to her newest position in London, it felt right for Zona to carry the baby. My job was the one who would always be performing the surgeries but Arizona is in a teaching/specialty head position, it doesn't require you to be on your feet for hours on end.

We leave for London in two weeks and we are due to have our first ultrasound tomorrow, this is to check if the foetus has survived the first 2 months. I've still got a few patients to sign off on their paediatric transfers to the new Peds surgeon. Jo has agreed to come to London for the month around the due date which is April / May time.

"Are you telling anyone yet?" Jo asked pulling Arizona and I to one side. "We don't want to tell anyone in case the baby doesn't survive, so maybe we wait until after the ultrasound tomorrow?" Arizona says looking at me for reassurance. "Yeah, we'll make it special, however we do it" I say pulling my gorgeous wife into my side. Her blonde hair begins to blow in the wind and the wind begins picking up. "Okay guys, if you could all help to move everything inside. We've got enough space on the coffee table in the lounge if you want to put the food there and watch some tv in there" I say as dark clouds begin to cover the sky.

Hours pass by and its suddenly 2am. Everyone is flat out asleep on our floor or sofa. Arizona and I quietly slip away to the bedroom. "Are you sure you're okay with leaving, I know it's a massive decision" Arizona continues to ramble as she overthinks. "hey, hey, I am more than okay, I just want to be with you and going to London means I get to be with you but I also get to do my job in a paediatrics hospital. Zona I am more than okay with all of this." I say, my hands resting on her shoulders which had risen up to her ears. She lets out a deep sigh, the relief you could hear leave her mouth with the depth of her worries.

Arizona looks over at me and the colour leaves her face. As she runs to the bathroom, I chase after her and pull her hair back. I lean on the side of the bath and rub her back. "It's okay, you're okay" I say as I continue to rub circles into Arizonas back. "At least we know what this might mean" Arizona says looking up at me. I get her glass of water from the side table and help her up off the floor.

The next morning. Everyone had left by the time we woke up. Shifts and their lives were awaiting. I head downstairs to make some breakfast. I look around at the house that had slowly grown into my favourite place, it was the place where I built my 8 year relationship with the love of my life. The yellow and sage kitchen walls we had painted when I was in recovery from my surgery. The broken plant pot that I superglued back together after Arizona tried to throw me an apple and missed, terribly. The first time Arizona made us breakfast. When Amelia nearly burnt down our kitchen making pancakes. The water pistol fights with Arizona and Sofia in the garden. I make my way to the living room and look along the fire place. The picture of us by the waterfall in Canada, the picture of us by the Eiffel Tower after we proposed. I pick up the last picture frame, its a picture of us during our first dance, looking deeply into each others eyes. So many memories in Seattle and in this house, but it's time for a new beginning.

"Babe!" Arizona shouts from the bathroom as a slight tinniness came from her shout. "Do you need water?" I shout in response. "Yes please... AND YOU!" She responds. I take a bottle of water from the fridge and run up to my wife. I reprise my role from the previous night, rubbing my wife's back as she leans over the toilet bowl. Jo sent me a message telling us to meet at the hospital in regards to the ultrasound. We are almost entirely certain that Arizona is pregnant as she has morning sickness. I help her into the car and make sure she has a bag in case she needs to be sick again.

The drive to the hospital was nice and quiet, Arizona fell asleep, she needed it. Jo met us at the lobby and we headed towards the OB/GYN unit. "How are we feeling?" Jo asks. "Like hell. If I am not pregnant, you need to fix whatever is making me puke everything up" Arizona says, slightly moody. I pull Jo back a second, "she took a pregnancy test and it said positive, she has the mood swings and the morning sickness" I explain, as I begin to list of Arizona's symptoms. "I can hear you" Arizona says, "can we just get this over with I want my bed!" Arizona says as she sits on the bed.

Jo begins the ultrasound and I watch the screen in amazement, hoping to see a baby. "Okay so..." Arizona says. "Stop being impatient and I'll do it!" Jo says, scolding Zona who shuts up. "Okay, so, congratulations, you are, in fact, pregnant, you're eight weeks" Jo says showing us the screen. She points out the small foetus who has taken residency in Arizona's womb. "It's really happening" Arizona looks up at me, tears pooling in her eyes as she glances between me and the ultrasound screen. "Yes it's really happening" I say as I place my hand on her cheek and give her a kiss.

The two weeks flew by and it was officially the day we moved to London. Jo sent over all of our documents regarding the pregnancy to the OB/GYN in London. Jackson offered to fly us over to London in his private jet so we could get all of our belongings over safely. April, Jo and Amelia came along too, to help us to move into our new house.

We were moving to a small area of London called Kingston. It's a relatively nice commute to the hospital but it's a family friendly area which isn't too busy and it's right near a park. We landed in London Heathrow Airport and were met by 2 Housing Removal Trucks and a taxi. The removal men and Jackson moved our things from the jet to the trucks and then headed to the house, Amelia, Jo and April came in the taxi with us as we drove through the areas surrounding London and after about 25 minutes arrived in Richmond. Kingston is the next town over to Richmond but our new house is on the cusp of the two towns.

The realtor was awaiting our arrival at the house and as we turned down our road we saw our detached house with a large driveway at the end of the road. I have to pick up my car from the dealership between 5 and 6pm so we did what we could. "Woah, you said the house was big but I definitely wasn't expecting a mansion." April says stepping out of the taxi. "For two people this is massive!" Amelia remarks. "Well actually, not two people" Arizona says, I smile and hold onto her arm as we watch April and Amelia try to figure out. "SHUT UP!" April says as the penny drops. "I still don't get it?" Amelia says trying to figure it out. I take out the ultrasound scan and pass it to Amelia, "Awww who's baby is thi- HOLY SHIT!" Amelia realises. "And the penny drops" I say. "You're pregnant!!!" April says. "Yeah, we're 10 weeks so we aren't telling everyone, just the important ones." Arizona says.

Three weeks went by and we had both settled into the new lifestyle, time-zone, jobs and the house. Arizona being my boss, makes me feel great because I don't have to worry about being disliked by my new boss. We do weekly face times with the girls and get updates from the hospital.

A/N - After 3 months of living in London, the two women were working within the best paediatric hospital in England, Arizona was now 6 months pregnant and they created a little village back in Seattle as well as their new friends in London. The women lived happily ever after, you can create your endings :)
