I don't own Grey's Anatomy. If I did, I would be dating Arizona…just saying.
After a long grueling day of surgery, Arizona made her trek to Joe's bar. Wandering wherever her feet took her, the destination she set sail for passed her in a blur of colors. After what seemed to be hours, but in reality was only about one, she stopped and looked at her surroundings. Standing outside of the house she had looked into buying about a month beforehand. A month before her Calliope's womb began to ache and scream that it was beginning to shrivel. A month before she finally caught up with life and realized that as a surgeon, her biological clock was ticking. As she ran from her problems and found herself here, she realized she was in fact, the girl in the back of the classroom chewing on her hair. As a doctor with many years of school she never partied, and never took time for self realization.
She turns around and is confronted by a bay view window. Through the window she sees a Latina, very much like her Latin lover, holding up a newborn baby with blonde ringlet curls puffing out around her head. A man walks up and takes the baby and starts cooing to it, but what peaks the pediatric surgeon's interest is in fact, the blonde woman with ringlet curls who walks in the room. She walks in and wraps her arms around the Latina and places her head on her shoulder, and whispers what she can only imagine to be sweet nothings in her ear. The Latina then grabs the blonde's hand and spins to face her. Immediately thereafter they are met with their bundle of joy in their arms.
Only then does Arizona realize that, that is what she wants with her Calliope. A family, a nice house and love. With only that, she could survive. It may be 6 pm but she pulls out her Blackberry and calls her former realtor, and places an offer on the house she is standing in front of. It had everything they needed. It wasn't an Easter basket, nor a bat cave, had plenty of room and a decent backyard. Everything one needs for building a family.
Arizona walked back home, all the while thinking of ways to tell Calliope. The first thing that came to mind was how they were going to have the kids. With that she once again pulled out her Blackberry. After two rings she received a response.
"Hello, Addison Montgomery."
"Hey, Addison, it's Arizona. I finally got myself together and realized that I do want kids. More importantly that Callie is what I want, and if she wants kids and it makes her happy, I'm happy. I just put an offer on a house and have had an engagement ring in the back of my sock drawer for about three months. I was wondering if you would do our IVF for our kids?"
"Wow, you've done quite a bit of self realization all in one night. I can book you for in about 2 months, namely to give you some time to think it through and make sure you're positive about this. And let me know how the proposal goes!"
"Thanks, Addison. Please don't tell Calliope or anyone any of this please…I want to be the one to tell her."
"You got it, Robbins. Talk to you later"
"Bye Addie."
Finally at this point she could see the Emerald City bar coming into view. She decided instead she was heading back to her apartment to wait for Calliope. They had been teetering on the edge, both of them wanting to keep going, but neither knowing where they were headed. She finally knew where they were headed. As she set the table for two, Callie walked in.
"Arizona, what are you doing?"
"The first rule of how to treat any woman right is to wine and dine her, so I cooked us a light pasta with some wine, and a side of salad."
"Well, it looks and smells quite good, and after the shift I just had, some relaxation is needed."
The rest of their dinner went by with small talk, until finally Arizona summoned some of her nerve. Getting down on one knee in front of Callie, she pulled out her black velvet box and opened it.
"Calliope Iphigenia Torres, I love you. You have been beautiful to me since the day I walked into the dirty bar bathroom and kissed you, and will be until the day you die. I want to spend forever with you, Calliope. I want to make you happy, which your happiness will fuel my own. I want to have all kinds of kids with you and maybe even a few chickens. Calliope, I want forever and a life with you. Marry me?"
She hadn't even heard the response before she was tackled to the floor and kissed with a passion that could never be surpassed. Finally through the muffled repetition she made out that she had said yes. As she slid the ring on her fiancés finger, she knew that her all she needed was that bit of self realization.
