Thank you so much! Yeah, I just feel Arizona is the right person to be there for her, given her own past loss. I'm with you in hoping we see something like this on the show. :D

Loved it! Very touching, very nice and just awesome! 3 weeks isn't a long time at all to mourn someone you love as much as Teddy loved Henry so I totally understand her wanting to just wallow away in her room, I'm actually quite worried for how she is going to react on the show but super anxious to see how they play it out!

Arizona is an awesome friend and these two make a great pair! Great Job!

Thank you very much! I really wanted to showcase their friendship, we don't see it enough in the show. And yeah, I thought it would be great to show Arizona being an awesome friend. :) Thanks again!

This is lovely. I really love the way you've captured the Arizona/Teddy friendship. Great callback to one of their first scenes with Arizona wanting to "fix" her. I love the way Arizona used her experience of losing Tim to help Teddy. There was a really nice mix of the sad and the cheerful in this. Thank you for taking the prompt and creating something so wonderful!

Awww shucks! You really know how to make a girl blush. lol

So glad you caught the nod to the previous scene, it felt very fitting to include it. And yes, that prompt pretty much wrote itself for me once strandedinaber got me thinking about it. Thank you so much for taking the time to read the story and I'm super excited you enjoyed it! :)

This was full of win!

Arizona bringing everything but the kitchen sink.

Not inviting Callie because she would do everything and it wouldn't be "distracting" enough for Teddy.

Saluting, military setup for prep and cooking.

The banter.

Sharing memories and loss and being honest with each other.

Simply well done and true to both characters.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! I always, always enjoy your comments! I'm glad everything came across as I intended, because I really did want to honor both of the characters, but also show that they were willing to be vulnerable to one another. :) Thank you again, seriously! :)

This was quite a touching fic. I feel so badly for Teddy and I also hope that her friendship with Arizona will help her heal a bit in future episodes. Thank you for posting!

Thank you! I'm really glad that this one seemed to really be liked by many. I feel for Teddy's character and I think the creators have real chance to showcase he friendship with Arizona, but I have a feeling they won't. :(
