"Morning." Helena smiled, on the front seat of Alex's car, as Meredith entered to the back, her sisters behind her.

"You said you were drunk. Can I at least ask if you used a condom?" Amelia asked Maggie.

"Shut... up!" She requested.

"Look, there's is a jumbo box of condoms under the bathroom sink. I share. They are for everyone."

"Jumbo? Seriously?" Alex asked.

"I was being optimistic." She shrugged.

"W-why are we talking about condoms?" Helena asked, as Meredith realized.

"Wait, that was you making all that noise last night? I thought that was Amelia! Well, you aren't shy. And you have a filthy mouth." The blond pointed out, making Helena giggle.

"Ok, can we not talk about this. Please. I am begging you." The woman tried.

"So the intern was good in bed..." Amelia muttered.

"Intern?!" Helena let out, turning to face the women in the back seat. "What intern?"

"Maggie, what intern?" Meredith repeated.

"Alex can hear us." She whined.

"Alex doesn't care, we've been gossiping in front of him for years." The smaller brunette shrugged. "Do you care, Alex?"

"Do I care about any of this conversation? No." He let out, making Helena raise her brows, with a soft smile.

"Did he visit Ladytown?" Amelia asked. "Because I find that if they don't go down to LadyTown the first time, there should be no next time."

"She's right about that." Meredith agreed.

"Oh, leave Maggie alone. Some of us have filters." Helena shot her person and Amelia a teasing look.

"Thank you!" Maggie exhaled. "If any of you say another word, I will jump out of this car, while it is moving. And LadyTown is just as bad as LadyPlace."

"Geez. So sensitive." Meredith muttered.

"I was trying to be nice, take an interest. God..." Amelia let out.

"Hey, what time do you want us at your house tonight?" Alex changed the subject, as Helena hummed in agreement.

"Why are you coming to my house tonight?"

"The dinner party?" Helena asked.

"Oh, the dinner party. No, that's not tonight." Amelia shook her head.

"No, that's weeks away. It's on the..." Maggie thought.

"The dinner party is on the fourteenth." Meredith completed.

"Today is the fourteenth." Alex told them.

"You three are bad hostesses." Helena giggled.

"You host, then." Meredith shot right back.

"Hey, there are more kids than adults at my place. It's not happening." She denied. "Though I a good host."

"He didn't mean it, right?" April asked, walking in between Arizona and Helena. "I mean, you don't just toss the word divorce out there like that! It was just the heat of the moment, right?"

"Maybe he was just mad..." Helena suggested.

"I'm the one who's mad! Divorce? No, I refuse to accept it. !" The redhead told them.

"Do you think he's going to that thing tonight?" Arizona asked.

"Oh, God..." April exhaled, placing her hands on her friends' arms. "Are you going? Please tell me you're going."

"I'm going." Helena hummed. "Sofia can stay with the sitter at mine, if you want. Zola, Bailey and Ellis are, too."

"I don't know..." Arizona shrugged. "I mean, Callie's gonna be there."

"Since when has that been an issue?" April asked.

"It's not. It's just I don't want to make her new girlfriend feel uncomfortable." She shrugged. "You know, intimidated by me. I mean, if she's even bringing her. I don't know if she's bringing her. Do you?"

"Well, she's right over there." Helena pointed out.

"Do you want me to ask her if she's bringing her?" April asked.

"Yes, please!" Arizona pulled out the dimples.

"Ok. You ask about Jackson, I'll ask about Penny." April agreed.

"10-4." Arizona confirmed.

"This is sad..." The brunette chuckled.

"Hey, about that thing tonight, I'm not sure any of them cook." Callie asked Helena, approaching the women. "Should I bring food just in case so none of us starve?"

"They'll probably order some?" Helena suggested. "I don't know, it might be a bit rude for the guests to bring it, without a request..."

"Hey, uh, do you know if... If Jackson is coming tonight?" The blond tried.

"Oh, I have no idea." She shook her head.

"Are you bringing Penny?" April asked.

"Oh!" Callie let out. "I hadn't... I, uh, didn't know if you'd be ok with that." She turned to Arizona. "And I didn't want it to be awkward or uncomfortable for her. You know."

"Oh? Me?" Arizona's voice became high pitched. "Oh, I'm fine! Are you kidding?! No, bring her! Totally! Bring her, cause, I mean... I want to meet her! think that we all want to meet her. Yeah! Not just me. Well, mostly me, cause I..."

"We'd love to meet her." Helena cut her off, with a smile.

"I will see if she's available." Callie nodded.

"Cool, cool." Arizona nodded, as her ex-wife left. "See? I can do this. I can do this, I'm excited. It's cool. I'm cool."

"Yeah, cool people don't say their cool." April told her, leaving the Dimpled Duo behind.
