Arizona's Pov

It's been a week since Callie followed me into Joes bathroom and we have been taking it slow.

She wanted me to go home with her that night but I held firm and refused. I didn't want us to fall back to the same patterns of the past. It seemed like we would always use sex to defuse I situation instead of talking about things. If we are going to work this time it needs to be different...we need to talk and we actually need to hear the other person this time instead of assuming things.

It's Saturday night and we are going on our first official date since deciding to try again. My parents are still here so they are more than happy to watch Sofia for us. We haven't said anything to Sofia yet about us trying again.. We thought it would be best to see how things go first before we tell her. She's been through enough and above anything else we both want to protect her.

I head into the living to grab my bag and tell Sof goodnight and let my parents know I won't be late.

"Wow mama you look really pretty." Sof says as I walk in.

"Thank you Sof." I say as I lean down and kiss her. "It's just dinner so I shouldn't be to late. You be good for grandma and grandpa ok."

"She'll be fine, just enjoy yourself and don't worry about rushing home." My mom says to me.

"Thanks mom...so do I look ok?" I ask.

"You look beautiful, she's going to love it." My mom says.

"God...why I'm I so nervous I mean it's not like I don't know her." I say.

"Because in a way you don't really know her, you both have changed so much in the last few years it's like dating someone new." Mom says.

"Thanks mom that just made me feel so much better." I say sarcastically. "Maybe this is a bad idea...we should just forget the whole thing."

"Arizona ...stop...don't do this ok" mom says.

"Do what." I ask

"Run away again...you are scared and that's ok but don't let fear win this time."

"I'm not running but what if we work better as friends and not girlfriends." I say. "I don't know if I can take her rejecting me again."

"She is not going to reject you." Mom tells me.

"You don't know that...what if we go out tonight and she realizes it was just closure she needed and not me." I say.

"Please stop doing this...she wants to be with you ...maybe she is just as scared as you are. Did you ever think of that? She is risking just as much as you to try again ...why...because she still loves you...she is still in love with you." Mom says as she wipes away the lone tear that has slipped out of my eyes.

"God...you don't know how much I hope you're right... Ok I'm going to go before I lose my nerve again." I say as I kiss her cheek. " Thanks mom."

I make a quick stop and head to Callie's. I take a few deep breaths and head to the door.

As I'm about to knock the door opens and the site takes my breath away. She is beautiful and she is smiling at me in a way that I haven't seen in what feels like forever.

"Hi" Callie says.

"Hi, you look beautiful...oh um...these are for you." I say as I hand her a bouquet of red, pink and purple roses.

"Thank you ...they're beautiful and so are you." She says as she leans in and kisses my cheek."Let me put them in a vase then we can head out."

"Sounds good" I squeak out then clear my throat to try to hide it. I need to get my nerves under control. It's just Callie...It's Callie...the love of my life...don't blow this Robbins.
