The First Encounter

Addison looks up at Meredith when she walks in. "Hey."

"Hey." Meredith said.

The redhead runs a hand through her hair. "Any sign of her?"

Meredith shook her head. "I've been all over half the city. I can't find her. What if she's dead?"

"Don't think like that Mer, we'll find her." Addison says softly.

"She's been gone for hours." Meredith said.

Addison sighs and runs a hand through her hair. "I know."

"I'm worried." Meredith said. "Should we call Arizona?"

"We can." Addison responds softly.

Meredith reaches for her phone, searching for Arizona's number. She dialed Arizona's number and put the phone on loudspeaker.

The phone rang for a few minutes before Arizona picks up.

"Zona? Have you heard from Amelia? We can't find her." Meredith asked.

"No." Arizona says softly.

"She's missing." Meredith said.

Arizona sighs softly. "She's probably at our house."

"I checked. She's not." Meredith said.

"Did you check Derek's grave?" Arizona asks.

"I checked every possible place I could think of." Meredith said.

Arizona sighs softly. "I don't know what to say then."

"Okay." Meredith said.

"I'm sorry." Arizona says softly.

"No. It's fine. We'll look harder tomorrow." Meredith said.

"I'll ask Mark and Callie to help." Arizona says softly.

"Okay. Thank you." Meredith said.

****

Arizona sighs as she puts her daughter down in the crib. "Please stay asleep." She whispered to herself.

The baby was sound asleep, her head turned to the side.

Arizona made her way over to the rocking chair in the room and sat down.

The silence in the room didn't last long before her son was softly starting to fuss, his cries not yet loud enough to wake his sister.

Arizona got up and moved over to her son.  

Tired blue eyes instantly lock on her.

Arizona lifted the little boy up. "Shh Timothy."

Timothy instantly curls into her, his eyes fluttering closed.

Arizona held him close.

The baby always seemed more relaxed in her arms no matter what.

Arizona kisses his forehead and held him until she was sure he was asleep. Slowly, she lays him in his crib and prays he doesn't wake up.

As soon as he is in the crib, Timothy instantly wakes up and releases a soft cry.

Arizona sighed heavily, lifting the baby up and holding him close.

Timothy curled into her and drifted off to sleep once again.

"Timmy, you can't keep doing this." Arizona said. "Mama needs to sleep too."

"Why don't you co-sleep? That's what we did with Sofia." Mark says from the doorway.

"What?" Arizona asked, confused.
