I adore this story. What an incredibly sweet chapter. I love how much the kids love Arizona, Arizona loves the kids, and Callie and Arizona love each other. :)
Question - to ensure that I'm not missing anything, lol - Arizona still isn't "officially" living at the house, right? Or was the assumption that she can pay her bills online and all of that the go-ahead for her to move in? Just curious!

Thanks for a great story! Looking forward to what's next. :)

I took that to mean that she's not officially living there but she has no reason to go home because she doesn't need to be at home to pay her bills? Of course logic would dictate that that probably means her home is surplus to requirements, but I can see why they're not dealing with that just yet.

[leonhart_17]

:) You're right.

[leonhart_17]

Aww, well thank you! I do too! :) They're just spreading the love all over the place.

Nope, she doesn't officially live there - she's still wasting money on an apartment she doesn't sleep in. We'll see when they discuss changing that. :)

Thank you! More soon!

This was the greatest ever

[leonhart_17]

Wow - that's quite the statement. Thank you!

Oh I love this story so very, very much <3

Nervous about Arizona working herself into exhaustion though. That's the last thing they need! And I'm so glad that Owen's mom and Arizona had that chat. It was needed.

I love seeing the awkwardness between Callie and Arizona. It seems very realistic - them both being afraid that the other needs space and time away because they've moved faster than relationships normally do, especially when kids are involved, but both needing to be with each other and the kids. So glad that the kids are happy Arizona's around. Although that's not surprising. She's awesome. And I am seriously impressed with how well Callie is coping.

[leonhart_17]

Aww, me too! :)

Well, until Alex is back on his feet she's got to do what she's got to do. But she's Arizona, so she's going to try and do it all. I'm glad you liked that bit - I thought about making it more of a confrontation but I couldn't see Ellen fighting against someone who clearly loves her grandkids. She did want to speak up for her son's memory though.

:) I'm happy you liked that. They've been in a messy, complicated situation since day one but this isn't exactly just relationship complicated since they're both trying to think of the kids and what's best for them.

[strandedinaber]

Oh, agreed! I was more envisaging how very bad it would be for the kids if she did work herself into exhaustion and she ends up passing out or something. But I don't thiiiiiink you're going there *eyes you suspiciously*

[leonhart_17]

So much suspicion of me lately! I wonder what's up with that....

[elraz1234]

Another super wonderful chapter. Is it wrong for me to hope that this story goes on for a really, really long time 'cause I love it?

If it HAS to end sometime, though, I can be appeased with another equally awesome story. This chapter just made me want this story to never end. I can't help loving this little family.

[leonhart_17]

I love it too but everything ends sooner or later, unfortunately.

(how do you feel about Harry Potter?) I love this family too. :D

[elraz1234]

I've never read/watched Harry Potter. My 8 year old nephew is starting to show interest in it, so I may end up watching it with him sometime in the not too distant future.

[leonhart_17]

*gasp* well, you should do that because they're awesome and not just because I've been planning a Grey's/Potter AU :P

[neolithicdream]

I ran out of superlatives to describe your writing way back.

Loving this as always, a little concerned that you are foreshadowing something with Owens mother insisting on Arizona being there for the kids no matter what? And strangely I'm almost hoping for a speed bump or two before they sail of into the sunset.

Anyway I trust you implicitly.

[leonhart_17]

Haha, I'm going to take that as a compliment.

Aww, well Owen's mom is just trying to make sure Arizona understands where she's standing now that Owen's gone. ;) *no comment*

I appreciate that!
