~ Just Married ~
When Arizona woke up she needed a moment to realize where she was. It was still dark outside and the hotel room was completely silent, a cool breeze flying through the room, coming from some hidden source; the long bright curtains only so slighty moving back and forth. The cream coloured bedcloth of the pillow on which her head was resting was so soft that it must have been silk or something similiar. Then she saw the ring on Callie's finger; her hand was lying next to her face; and remembered again. We are married! Married. She couldn't believe it for a second; her heart started beating like mad - how silly is that? But it was real - and it still felt as exciting as yesterday, when her father walked her up the aisle to be standing next to a woman - a crazy fantastic dream coming true, something she had never even been thinking about until that moment, with Callie, when she all of a sudden knew that she wanted it. Suddenly it had seemed so easy, so light, to imagine to stay with one person for the rest of their lifes, hopefully. But not only that, she also wanted to let everybody know that this was serious, this was love, this was stronger than anything, really. There were moments when she wasn't as sure as right now - but she felt that in the end everything that made her doubt was just minor, meant nothing really, when she could be sure that Callie loved her. And she was completely sure of that. Callie was comfortably lying next to her, appearantly feeling completely at home in this cosy bed. That wasn't difficult though. Her - now shorter - hair was going wild around her head; Arizona was surprised at first but came to love it so much, it made her even more beautiful. If she was even aware of that? Her skin was shimmering so softly that Arizona couldn't resist to raise her left hand and run it over her shoulders, the slight hollow between her shoulder-blades, her spine, her back, - down to where her body was covered by the blanket - her side, her breast, her arms, which smelled so good. Callie was quietly moaning in her sleep - not yet going to wake up. Arizona - they couldn't have had more than a few hours of sleep - felt so awake and lively as if she could just jump out of bed and run up and down the stairs, shout out of the window, madly dance with her - but she just waited; impatiently - but waited until she would open her eyes. The sun slowly came crowling through the gap between the curtains, throwing a line of glowing light on the bed, soon some sunlight on their faces. Arizona raised her hand again, into the light, and let her ring sparkle. It was just a ring - but it meant such a lot. She would never forget the excitement of that moment, the feeling in her stomach as if she was going to take off the floor or burst into pieces because of feeling so good. And that memory is theirs forever.
