Arizona's pov
I enter the house and place a sleeping Timothy in his crib. He feel asleep on the car ride home. I smile down at my sleeping son. He looks just like Eliza. He only has wisps of hair, but they are the same shade as her hair. He has her eyes and smile. He is perfect. I kiss his head before going to find Eliza. "Eliza? I'm home, baby." I call as I head into our bedroom. I hear sobbing coming from the bathroom. I try to open the door, but it's locked. "Eliza, it's me. It's Arizona. Let me in. Please baby. Whatever hurts I will help you through it." I beg. Nothing. Just more sobs that break my heart. "Eliza... please baby." I gravel. Nothing. "Elizabeth Cecilia Robbins-Minnick. I am your wife. Open this door right now and let me help you." I scream. The door clicks and swings open to reveal a sobbing Eliza. She is hunched over and crying on the tile floor. "Eliza... come here." I say as I take her into my arms. I pick her up and carry her to our bed. I sit on the bed and hold her against my chest. "Baby, what's wrong?" I ask. "My dad was in an accident. He was hiking and the cliff crumbled and he feel 10 ft. They don't know if he is going to make it." Eliza sobs. She's really close to her dad. "It'll be ok. I'm right here for you. Let it out." I sooth. Eliza sobs into my chest as I hold her. Ten minutes later, she's still sobbing. "Baby.. it's been ten minutes. I'm trying to help you. I don't know how. This clearly isn't working. I'm going to run you a bath. That will help." I say as I set her on the bed. "Don't leave me..." she whimpers. "Baby I'm just going to be in here. I'll be right back, love." I sooth as I head to the bathroom. I run a warm bath and get some towels and a pair of Eliza's pajamas. I go back to the bedroom and pick Eliza up in my arms. I walk to the bathroom and set her down on the toilet seat. "Let's get you into a warm bath, ok?" I say. I gently take her shirt and bra off before slipping her out of her shorts and panties. I help her into the bath. Slowly, she calms down. "There you go baby. I'm right here." I sooth. "Arizona?" She asks softly. "Yes baby?" I say, rubbing her back gently. "Join me?" She asks. "Of course, love. I'll be right there." I say as I stand up and undress. I take my prothesis off. Eliza scoots so I can hold her. I climb in and wrap my arms around me. "Thank you." She whispers. "You don't need to thank me, Eliza. I love you and I will always be there for you. Always." I sooth as I hold her closer to me. I will always protect her and cherish her. She's my one and only. 'Till death do us part.
