I Won't Let Nobody Hurt You

The next morning Meredith woke up in Addison's arms, snuggling into her chest for a few extra minutes before her wet pull up became uncomfortable. She rolled over and tapped Arizona's cheek. "Mommy! Ake up!" Arizona blinked her eyes open, chuckling at the exasperation on Meredith's face.

"What's wrong sweet pea?" Arizona asks, caressing Meredith's cheek.

"I wet, but da mama monsta has me twapped!" Meredith giggled.

"Oh no!" Arizona gasped. "Have you tried waking her up?"

"No, me want you." Meredith smiled, struggling against Addison's hold to get to Arizona, but the redhead was deep asleep and just held Meredith tighter. Arizona smiled and felt tears threatened to well in her eyes, typically Meredith was a total mama's girl. She always went to Addison for comfort, to be fed, changed or anything like that. Arizona knew that Meredith loved her too and didn't take it to heart, but it was nice to hear that Meredith wanted her for a change.

"Okay sunshine, we gotta be careful. If we wake up the mama monster she might tickle you." Arizona joked as she carefully moved Addison's arms from around Meredith. Meredith slid her stuffed bunny into Addison's arms and giggled when the redhead pulled it to her chest, not even stirring. "Alright let's change you." Arizona grabbed a new pull and the pack of wipes, quickly cleaning her and changing her into a new pull up. "Do you want to get dressed or stay in your pajamas a bit longer?"

"Pajamas." Meredith decided. Once Arizona pulled her pants back Meredith looked at her with a faux pout. "Mommy cuddle?"

"Of course sweet pea." Arizona smiled as she laid back down, cradling Meredith in her arms and singing to her. Meredith laid her head on Arizona's chest, tracing the older blonde's face with one of her fingers before twiliugna strand of blonde hair as she hummed along with Arizona's song. Her eyes began to get heavy as she yawned. "It's still early sunshine, why don't you go back to sleep." Arizona suggested, pressing a kiss to Meredith's temple and slipping a pacifier in her mouth gently. Meredith nodded and let her eyes flutter closed.

"Wub you mommy." Meredith whispered as she fell asleep.

"I love you too sweet pea." Arizona smiled, watching the little one sleep in her arms. Addison soon woke up, her eyes focusing on the sight before her. She smiled as she sat up, tilting Arizona's chin up to press a kiss to her lips. "Good morning."

"Good morning. So, how did I end up with the stuffed bunny and you end up with the living bunny?" Addison joked as she kissed Meredith's forehead.

"She woke up wet but couldn't get out of your arms so she woke me up. I asked if she tried to wake you up, but she said no because she wanted me." Arizona explained as the tears she tried so hard to fight off finally escaped.

"Babe, why are you crying?" Addison wiped Arizona's tears, her brow furrowed in concern.

"She's never wanted me over you before." Arizona sobbed. "I know she loves me, but she's such a mama's girl that whenever you're around she clings to you. She'll come to me to play, but other than that she always just wants you."

"Hey, it's okay. This is a good thing." Addison kissed Arizona's forehead as she wrapped her arms around her, rubbing her back soothingly.

"I know, I'm crying because I'm happy." Arizona explained as she slowly calmed down. "As for you waking up with her stuffed bunny, she wanted to place a decoy bunny to keep the mama monster from realizing she was gone, waking up, and tickling her." Arizona added with a watery chuckle.

"The mama monster does like to tickle little bunnies named Meredith, that's for sure." Addison laughed. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, I'm just a little overwhelmed by everything. I never thought she would want me over you, but I always hoped she would. Now that it happened I just can't believe it." Arizona sighed.
