Torres Tornado Twins
"Did you hear?" One of the nurses said in a loud whisper across the nurses station. Arizona could immediately tell they weren't trying to keep whatever secret they had to themselves, in fact, it seemed like they wanted the world to know. Then again, the nurses weren't the most secretive people. She quickly learned this when she began dating Calliope a few months prior. They were the talk of the hospital for a good month, but soon, one of the interns screwed an attending, and they were old news. Although, on this day, curiosity got the best of Arizona, forcing her to lean forward a bit to listen more intently as she kept her focus on the chart she was working on.
"About Sloan and Grey getting it on again in an on-call room?" One of the nurses butted in nonchalantly, "That's old news." Arizona had to agree with the nurse. Lexie needed to move in with Mark already, because she for one would like to get some sleep every now and then without having to walk in on them. Then again, she'd be a hypocrite to criticize, considering she and Calliope have been caught once or twice in the throes of love.
"Meredith Grey? Isn't she with Dr. Shepard?" A nurse, who looked as though as was in her late 20's, gasped in shock.
"No you idiot, Lexie Grey, her sister. You've been here two weeks, now. You're not new, anymore. Catch up. But that's really old news, what's the new buzz?" Nurse Debbie butted in as she leaned forward, waiting impatiently for the new piece of gossip. Arizona was just about ready to leave the nurses station to actually get some work done when she heard her girlfriends name come up in the conversation.
"Dr. Torres has two younger sisters!" The nurse informed them and was followed by many gasps from the other nurses. Arizona smiled to herself and chuckled inwardly. Ha, Ha, I already knew that, Arizona thought. Arizona shook her head slightly and attempting to keep from laughing. Sometimes she had to wonder how they got their jobs done at this hospital. Arizona finally decided that she should really concentrate and finish up her charting, so she tuned out the nurses and continued writing.
It wasn't until she heard, "...they came in this morning unexpectedly," that she dropped the pen she was holding as her jaw dropped with it all the way to the floor.
I didn't know that. Shit. Arizona thought to herself as she slammed the chart shut. With the sudden noise, the nurses all turned to look at her suspiciously. Arizona gave them a shy smiled and quickly put the chart back in order to go find Callie. This was not what she had expected to happen. She didn't mind that her sisters were in town, but she worried for what reason. The last time her Callie had spoken to anyone in her family, they had criticized her recent choices and told her that they wanted nothing to do with her. Arizona had stayed up all night that night stroking her hair as she sobbed herself to sleep. Arizona didn't want to see Callie get hurt again like that, so she rolled through the hallways faster than she ever had in search of Callie.
"Arizona, Arizona." Callie said rushing up to Arizona in the middle of the hallway, nearly knocking her off her skates. Arizona quickly grabbed onto Callie's arms in order to stable herself.
"Calliope, is it true? Your sisters are here?" Arizona asked in a panicked voice, her hands still gripped to Callie's arms as if she were still falling.
Callie nodded furiously, "Both Aria and Isla. They want to know why their trust funds have grown overnight..."
Arizona stopped her mid-sentence, "Wait, they don't know about me?" Arizona let go of Callie's arms and ran her fingers through her own straightened hair.
"I don't think so! My dad wouldn't tell them that he disowned me because I'm in love with a woman. He would be too afraid to scar their "innocent" teenage minds." Callie replied sarcastically as she looked back and forth through the hallway nervously. To stranger looking at her form afar, they'd probably assume she was running from the law because she was shifting nervously from foot to foot as she looked all around her.
"Teenage?" Arizona paused as she grabbed Callie's faced and held it looking straight at her. "How old are they?" Arizona asked with a wrinkled forehead.
"Isla is fourteen and Aria is sixteen going on Seventeen." Callie replied taking a deep breath and letting it out.
Arizona broke out into a grin, "I love that musical."
Callie nodded enthusiastically, "Me too! It reminds me of my childhood. Not that I had a singing nanny or whatever, but I used to watch it a lot as a child. It's classic!"
"My favorite part was when..." Arizona began rambling on about Julie Andrews brilliance in The Sound Of Music, when Callie suddenly remembered what brought them there to the deserted hallway.
Callie shook the thoughts of the musical, that had occupied her head, away. "Arizona, we need to focus!" Callie cried out in panic.
"I know. I know, so where are they?" Arizona asked as she looked down the hallways suspiciously just like Callie had done moments before.
"I made Mark distract them and take them downstairs." Callie ran her fingers through Arizona's hair.
"Is it wise to leave Mark with two teenagers?" Arizona joked slightly.
Callie's shoulders shook as she laughed silently. "You make me laugh in the worst of times."
Arizona's heart melted as she gave Callie one of her famous dimply smile. Arizona took a step closer to Callie and reached down to grasp her hands and interlock Callie's fingers with her own. "Callie, this isn't the worst of times. It's just surprising, and scary. I just hope they like me."
"Listen, Aria is pretty open minded. She's a big girl and will love you. Isla will like you, but is a huge Daddy's girl, and will try to fight it. I am sure they will see you and see me. See how in love we are, and they will understand."
"I hope this works out..." Arizona whispered as she looked up to Callie with a small nervous smile.
"It will. When do you get off work?" Callie asked curiously.
"I got off 30 minutes ago, but I was going to wait for you to get off." Arizona blushed.
Callie smiled, "You're too sweet, and I would absolutely love that, but I am about to go into surgery."
"How long is it?" Arizona asked.
"Should take no longer than an hour..." Callie replied.
"Are you doing this surgery to avoid me?" A voice popped into the conversation from behind. Arizona and Callie turned to face the young voice and came face to face with Aria. Arizona could tell immediately that it was her. She didn't look a lot like Callie, but there were definite similarities. She had curly brown hair like Callie's, except it was a lighter brown, probably due to all the sun she gets in Miami. She also had big brown eyes that matched Callies.
"Aria." Callie smiled nervously as she looked between Aria and Arizona.. "Of course I'm not avoiding you..."
"So that's why Isla and I just spent an hour with some lunatic while he awkwardly explained how cafeteria food is actually unhealthy." Aria mimicked.
"Useful information." Callie pointed out. "never know when you're going to need it." Callie finished lamely with a shrug of her shoulders.
"...and I'm not a lunatic." Mark said jogging up to them breathless with Isla by his side. "She got away from me. Sorry Callie."
Arizona could tell that Isla looked more like Callie than Aria. She didn't have the normal "Miami" tan like her sister, but rather pale. She had dark brown, almost black, hair liek Callie's except it was completely straight. Though, that could be due to a hair straightener. Her eyes were just like Callie's and Aria's. Big. Brown. Beautiful.
"I stayed behind to make sure he didn't have a heart attack, don't worry." Isla replied seriously as she looked over at Mark in concern. "He looks a bit pale. Almost sickly. Where is the Geriatric's doctor?" Mark instantly turned to glare at Isla who simply shrugged in confusion.
Aria ignored her younger sisters irrelevant comment and turned to her older sister, Callie. "So... not avoiding us?"
"What are you doing here Aria? Does Dad know you're here?" Callie asked impatiently as she looked between the two girls. Callie rolled her eyes as she noticed Aria smirk. It was the exact same smirk that Callie used when she was up to something. Arizona could tell that Aria was a lot like Callie in personality, though. She also knew that when two people are so much alike, their personalities clash. That usually led to chaos. Callie turned to stare down Isla who quickly focused all her attention on her old worn out converse.
"I'm here to find out if you're trust fund jumped over night like ours did, and no, he thinks we're shopping in Paris for the weekend." Aria smiled proudly as if she had just won some sort of award. Callie knew better though, she was just proud to have gotten away with such misfits. Especially by their father, who was extremely smart and knew exactly when someone was lying. They always called him the walking lie detector. Callie did have to give her sisters props at getting by their father. Very genius, she figured. She taught them well.
"God, it never ceases to amaze me how irresponsible our parents are. They just let you leave to another country." Callie ranted.
"Technically, though, we didn't leave the country. We just told them we were. You did the exact same thing, Callie. You're the one who taught us how to get past that old walking lie detector." Isla pointed out. "Why can't we?"
"Because time's have changed. I see a lot of messed up stuff come into this hospital because of irresponsible parents." Callie scolded them. She hated having to be the responsible adult to her own sisters, but being so much older than them made her feel more maternal to them instead of sisterly. Arizona had to smile at this new side of Callie that she was witnessing.
"We aren't stupid," Aria rolled her eyes at her sister as she crossed her arms securely across her chest. Aria hated being lectures, especially by Callie.
"Yeah, that's what I used to say too..." Callie muttered as she looked over at Isla who quickly looked down guiltily.
"Just tell us what we came here for..." Aria snapped because she was getting impatient and frustrated.
"Calliope, maybe we should leave you to talk..." Arizona said pointing to herself and Mark as she grabbed Mark's arm and began to pull him away form the group.
"No stay. You should be here." Callie whispered as she pulled Arizona back next to her side.
"Calliope?" Aria smirked looking over at Isla in amusement. 'Calliope' Aria mouthed to Isla, almost laughing out hysterically. Isla simply bit her lower lip to keep from laughing. Unlike Aria, she wasn't one to cross Callie.
"Shut it." Callie warned as she took a step toward Aria in a threatening manner.
"Shutting it." Aria took a step back throwing her hands up in defeat.
"Aria, my trust fund didn't double over night like yours did. It disappeared. Dad cut me off." Callie explained with a long sigh.
"What?" Aria shrieked. "Dad wouldn't do that!"
"Well, he did." Callie replied frankly.
"Why?" Isla asked softly, "What did you do this time?" Isla asked almost angrily which took Callie by surprise. It wasn't normal for Isla to get worked up.
"I didn't do anything. He's just doesn't agree with my decisions, so he cut me off..." Callie defended herself as she shared a glance with Arizona.
"He's disagreed with you before, and yet he's never cut you off. He didn't do that when you joined the Peace Corp. He didn't do that when you took the jet for a month and flew around Europe. He didn't do that when you decided to go to med school instead of take over the family business. Why would he do that now? You must've really screwed up." Aria jumped in.
"Dad is being unreasonable..." Callie shrugged helplessly wondering if she should really tell her sisters or if she should just let them find out on their own.
"Dad is never unreasonable..." Isla shot back.
"Stop being such a Daddy's girl, God." Callie groaned, "I love Dad. You two know that. I would NEVER do anything to hurt him deliberately, so why would I do something that would push him so over the edge that he would cut off his favorite daughter?" Callie asked.
"I beg to differ, I am his favorite daughter. You were just an accident." Isla laughed.
Aria slapped her hand over Isla's mouth, "Shut up, Isla. Callie's right. Dad is probably being unreasonable, so just let her explain." Aria said calmly which was completely out of character for her. The calmness was usually Isla's trait. Like Callie, Aria was always hysterical and dramatic.
"It's complicated." Callie said softly.
"It's complicated." Aria mocked, "It's always complicated, and I didn't travel across the country for that stupid answer. So, out with it."
"Arizona is my girlfriend. I'm dating her." Callie blurted out as she pointed to the blonde standing next to her.
"Hi." Arizona smiled nervously and waved at the girls.
Aria stood there with her jaw to the floor for a couple of seconds before she broke out laughing.
"Aria." Callie warned her.
"No seriously what did you do? Are you on hard drugs or something? Wait... your an alcoholic aren't you? Sorry sis, but I saw it coming. You always had a large liquor intake... Can't see why that would make Dad cut you off though. He's as bad as you..."
"Aria, I'm not kidding. Arizona and I are in a relationship." Callie reached out and pulled Arizona closer.
Aria stopped laughing for a second and then broke out into an even larger uncontrollable laugh.
"Aria, stop. She's being serious." Isla said with her jaw dropped as she looked over at Callie and Arizona in shock.
"Sorry, Callie, it's just..." Aria breathed in deeply trying not to laugh, "Come on, Callie. You? Into women? You're Callie! Whenever Dad made us stay with you for spring break those years back, we never got a decent nights sleep. You are like the hugest fan of pen-..." Aria was cut off my Callie throwing her up against the wall.
"Aria, could you not!" Callie said sternly. "So, I told you why he cut me off. Now go home. The both of you." Callie said as she let go of Aria and turned to look at Isla sternly.
"Does she not know about your past?" Aria asked in a low whisper.
"We know." Mark smiled cheekily. "Or we can assume. Well, I can assume. She can too." Mark chuckled immaturely as he pointed to Arizona.
"Shut up, Mark." Callie and Arizona both told him.
Aria smirked. "Well Callie, it makes sense; Dad cutting you off, it makes sense."
"Aria!" Isla scolded. "That's rude!"
"What? I just meant, it's not completely shocking." Aria threw her hands up in defense.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Callie asked angrily.
"Calliope." Arizona whispered softly as she slowly laid a hand on Callie's shoulder, trying to calm her down.
"We've never been hardcore catholic, but he is. It's his background. It's who he is. Come on, Calliope. He's old fashioned. He doesn't quite understand." Aria shrugged. Callie decided to ignore the "Calliope" that Aria threw in.
"I think what Aria means is, you can't be completely surprised by Dad's actions. He's very touchy about his beliefs. He doesn't understand like we do. He came from a different generation." Isla told Callie softly.
"I still quite don't understand it, but I know I love her." Callie smiled softly as she took ahold of Arizona's hand.
"Well, at least she's pretty and not some scary man-woman." Isla giggled softly.
"Isla." Callie groaned as she smacked her hand to her forehead.
"Uh...thanks." Arizona thanked her awkwardly.
Aria slapped her shoulder, "Now who's being rude."
"It was a compliment." Isla smiled toward Arizona.
"You're being stereotypical, again." Aria chided.
"You're being obnoxious, again." Isla mocked.
"Shut up." Aria shoved Isla. "I should've come by myself."
"Yeah... guys, could you not fight..." Callie sighed as she pulled Isla away from Aria.
"She started it." Isla muttered.
"I love your family, Callie." Mark chuckled at the silliness of the young girls.
"They're great." Callie muttered sarcastically. "So you are cool with it all?" Callie asked the girls.
"Callie, I kind of couldn't care less. Wait no, I could care less. My non-caring is actually infinitive. It goes on and on. I mean if this was caring," Aria held up one hand way out to the right, "then this would be where I am," Aria held out her other hand way out to the left.
Callie put up her hand, signaling for her to stop. "Aria. I get it."
"I care." Isla smiled proudly as she hugged her sister softly.
"My favorite sister." Callie joked, putting her arms around Isla as she leaned against Callie.
"I mean, I care about you. I just don't care about your relationships. Never have. Well, except for the George guy. I knew that was a disaster from the beginning." Aria laughed.
"We all did." Mark muttered. Arizona rolled her eyes and nudged Mark in the ribs. "What?" He asked her innocently. "It's true."
"A man of honesty. I like him." Aria smiled at him.
"5 minutes ago you called him a lunatic." Callie pointed out.
Aria shrugged, "He was. He still is. Is there a younger version of you?" Aria asked politely.
Mark frowned, "You're looking at him..."
Isla bursted out laughing but quickly stopped when she noticed that Mark was being serious. "She meant someone... not old enough to be... our father."
Callie buried her head into the crook of Arizona's neck as Arizona kept her eyes glue on Mark's priceless face. Both of them we're laughing hysterically as Mark glared at them in furry.
"Why does this keep happening to me? I'm not old enough to be anyone's father!" Mark told them as he threw up his hands in hysteria.
Aria gave him a sympathetic frown. "Reality bites," Aria told him seriously as she gave him a small pat on the back.
"Actually, Mark, didn't you say you're younger brother is moving in with you while he goes to college." Callie butted in when her giggles subsided.
"He's not moving in with me. I would never move in with that geek." Mark stated seriously. "He's just staying with me for awhile."
"So he's not cute?" Aria frowned disappointedly.
"That's like asking me if I think my mom is hot." Mark cringed.
"I think my mom is hot. Well at least for a fifty something year old." Aria shrugged.
"I agree," Callie nodded. "I hope I got her genes.
Mark rolled his eyes, "Let me put it to you this way. Our parents have money. He has an amazing car. He's 18, and he has never had a girlfriend. What do you think?" Mark asked.
"What kind of car?" Aria asked suspiciously.
"09 Camaro." Mark stated frankly.
"Okay. Wow. So he's either gay, or not cute at all." Isla said quickly and Aria agreed.
"Damn." Aria muttered, "Oh well."
"Told you." Mark smiled smugly. "Well, unlike you all. I have work. Bye."
"So girls, are you leaving now?" Callie asked hopefully.
"Why do you want us to leave so quickly?" Isla asked sadly.
"I have a life." Callie stated. "Don't you two have lives?" Callie asked, but Isla simply shrugged.
"Well, our plane home doesn't leave until Sunday." Aria told her.
"It's Friday." Callie groaned.
"Calliope, I think your sisters just want to spend some quality time with you." Arizona smiled softly.
"Yeah, Calliope." Aria teased. Callie glared.
"She's gonna kill you." Isla warned.
"Tomorrow is our only day off." Callie pouted.
"We'll have other days off." Arizona laughed as she leaned in and pecked Callie lightly.
"So you have one day to deal with us, big deal. We haven't seen you in over a year. We thought you'd be a little happy that we came all the way across the country to see you." Aria mumbled.
"We lied to Dad, too." Isla butted in.
Callie sighed, "Fine, I'm sorry. I'm happy to see you too. You can stay."
"Yes!" Isla cheered. "Please tell me you have an apartment now. Last time we came, Dad got so mad cause you were living in the basement."
"Yeah. Yeah. I have an apartment, but not enough for us three and my roommate. We'll go stay at the Archfield."
"No, No, No!" Arizona jumped in. "Come stay at my house. I have guest rooms. It will be fun to get to know you two."
"uh..." Callie was about to decline and say that the girls were actually a pain in the ass, and the Arizona would regret this offer, but the girls had already jumped in.
"Yes!" They both nodded eagerly.
"Great!" Arizona smiled.
"Look, I have a surgery in..." Callie looked down at her watch, "Shit, five minutes ago. Just... hang out with Arizona. Don't screw anything up, or I swear you will get the beat down of a life time." Callie took off running in the direction of the OR.
Aria winced at that. "She beat me up last christmas... Not fun."
"She beat you up?" Arizona asked in surprise.
"Show her the scar!" Isla pressed on eagerly.
Aria lifted up her skinny jeans to show a long scar on the side of her thigh. "We were fighting. Well she was pretty much slaughtering me and I accidently fell off the balcony. Not a pretty site. Broke my wrist, thankfully I have a wonderful sister who fixed it up."
"She's the one who broke it in the first place, how's that wonderful?" Arizona asked in amusement.
"We've never thought of it that way." Isla mumbled as she looked over at Aria in thought.
"She breaks us, then fixes us, and somehow we THANK and PRAISE her for fixing us..." Aria trailed off.
"When she's the one that breaks us in the first place." Isla finished Aria's statement almost angrily at their revelation
Arizona laughed at their antics, "So what do you guys want to do while we wait?"
Isla looked over at Aria deviously and Aria nodded back at her. Arizona looked between the two girls nervously.
"Walk with us." Aria smiled as she went on the other side of Arizona and slipped her arm into Arizona's, just as Isla did the same on the other side.
"We want to get to know our future sister-in-law." Isla grinned up at Arizona.
"Oh boy." Arizona mumbled under her breath.
"That isn't legal yet, Isla." Aria said in a duh-tone.
"In Canada it is!" Isla shot back defensively as she smiled back up at Arizona.
"A Canadian wedding!" Aria smiled dreamily, "How nice. Oh, I read in a magazine that when lesbian couples decide to have children, they usually carry each others. Oh, and they sometimes find a sperm donor that is close to them. Mark looks like he has good DNA." Aria pointed out.
"Oh yeah! Can you imagine Mark's eyes with Arizona's dimples?" Isla asked Aria.
"Gorgeous! Or Marks amazing smile and Callie's ass!" Aria joked.
"Calliope does have a nice butt." Arizona smiled slightly as she tilted her head slightly thinking at how cute a little Callie would be.
"Hey, when were you reading about lesbians?" Isla asked Aria randomly.
"I don't remember... but hey, it came in handy now that our sister is one!" Aria joked.
"I don't quite think she-" Arizona started to say but was cut off by Isla.
"Have you two ever considered moving to Miami?" Aria asked.
"Actually, we are still early on in our relationship. We haven't talked much about-" Arizona was again cut off my Isla.
"Maybe we can move up here. After we graduate, of course." Isla suggested.
"That'd be really cool." Aria agreed, "plus, we're going to need to be close to our nieces and nephews. I'm thinking at least three."
"Three girls would be nice, just like Callie, you, and me." Isla smiled.
Arizona sighed, this was going to be a long hour.
"Hey girls." Callie smiled as she walked up to them in the cafeteria. They seemed to be engaged in a serious conversation while Arizona looked completely petrified.
"Arizona, what's wrong?" Callie asked slightly amused.
Arizona opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out, so she simply grabbed Callie's hand and drug her out of the cafeteria and into the nearest conference room.
"What's up?" Callie asked in concern.
"We're having a December wedding in Canada." Arizona blurted out.
"What?" Callie exclaimed.
"Yep! It's going to be at the beginning of December, but not late November, so that it won't conflict with anybody's holiday plans." Arizona placed back and forth.
"I- uh..." Callie stuttered.
"Soon after the wedding, you are going to have our first child, Gregory Michael. We secretly were hoping for a girl, but were so happy nonetheless that he was healthy. He's of course going to be an amazing surgeon like his Mommies. At this point, we are so in love with our family and each other that we decide we want to have more children, and decide to buy a larger house. Preferably close to the hospital so that we can spend as much time with our kids and each other without having to waste time on the road and traffic." Arizona ranted.
"Right..." Callie muttered, "This seems like the handy work of the Torres Tornado Teens." Callie joked, but Arizona ignored and kept pacing back and forth.
"Then it's my turn to have your baby, but the jokes are on me, we're having twin girls! They're names are Cayla Elizabeth and Mackenzie Raquel. Cayla's going to be our musical prodigy and we're going to sit front row at all of her concerts, and Mackenzie, also known as Mac, Mackie, Kenzie, or Zee..." Arizona paused looking up at Callie, "the nicknames haven't been decided... but Mackenzie is going to be a badass ortho-surgeon like you. Either way, we are incredibly happy for our girls. Plural. GIRLS. TWINS, Calliope! I'm going to be so fat!" Arizona shouted with tears falling down her face. "I won't lose that baby weight."
"Hey, hey, why are you crying?" Callie asked as she quickly enveloped her in a hug and wiped away her tears.
Arizona pulled away, "I don't know! Oh, did I mention Mark Sloan fathers our children? He has good genes. Nice smile and nice eyes. We just have cute dimples and a- a- nice ass." Arizona pouted. "I don't want little Sloan's coming out of my Va-Jay-Jay! You only have to deal with one! I have TWO Sloans coming out of there. I don't want ANY Sloan down there." Arizona shouted.
Callie looked at Arizona in confusion, "Whoa, whoa, whoa." Callie grabbed ahold of Arizona's shoulders and held her still, "Listen to me, Firstly, you've been spending way to much time with Bailey. Va-Jay-Jay? Really? Secondly, there is no way I would let a Sloan down there in the first place. Thirdly, if we were to eve have children, Mark Sloan would NOT be the father. My sisters are crazy, Arizona. They're messing with your mind. They love playing mind games. Why do you think I am the way I am?" Callie joked.
"What?" Arizona stopped trying to contain her tears.
"They used to do this with all my boyfriends. It's a game to them. How long does it take to scare them away." Callie smiled softly as she leaned in to wipe away Arizona's tears.
"You mean they really aren't expecting all this?" Arizona asked softly. "They really don't want me to pop out the manwhores offspring?"
Callie shook her head with a small smile. "God no. They'd never be excited for new little babies waddling around."
"Thank god." Arizona sighed, "I mean, one day, maybe. Just not now."
"Glad we're on the same page." Callie let out a sigh of relief.
"Me too." Arizona blushed in embarrassment as she wiped her eyes.
"Remind me to never get you worked up." Callie laughed softy.
Arizona shrugged, "I'm an easy crier.
"Well, I think she's a winner." Isla smiled proudly as she lifted her feet up onto the seat of the chair across from her. The two sisters were sitting in the almost empty cafeteria.
"She seemed a tad bit freaked out though," Aria chuckled as she took a sip from her soda.
Isla simply rolled her eyes, "Well, I think you would be too, Aria. Atleast she didn't take off, literally running, like that one guy, Carlos."
Aria pouted, "Carlos was hott too, I wonder what he's up to now..."
Isla stuck out her tongue in disgust, "Ew, he's probably old. I mean think about it. It's like being with someone our sisters age..."
Disgust washed over Aria'a face, "Ugh, you're right. Gross."
"I'd stop there if I were you." Callie stood directly behind with her hands on her hips.
"Callie." Isla smiled nervously up at her sister. Aria didn't waste time. She threw her soda cup on the table, pushed out from the table, took off running down the hall while pulling Isla by the shirt.
"Voy a matar a dos!" Callie yelled after them. (I am going to kill you two.)
"Mierda!" Isla muttered as they quickly turned down one of the hallways and sat behind a crash cart. (Shit.)
"¿Por qué siempre tratan de sabotear mi vida?" Callie yelled as she pulled the crash cart away from in front of them. (Why are you always trying to sabotage my life?)
"Lo Siento!" Isla shrieked (sorry) as she covered her face with her arms as Aria tried to take off running in the opposite direction but ran straight into someone. Callie took that as a moment of weakness and pulled Aria by the arm, and pushed her up against the wall.
"Ella no es como los otro chicos." Callie told Aria furiously, "Despidir hora!" (She's not like the other guys. Lay off, now.)
"Vale!" Aria threw her hands up in defense as she pulled out of Callie's grip. (Fine!)
"Dr. Torres." The person, who Aria ran into, bellowed.
"Chief." Callie winced.
"Why are you chasing after these two teenagers in the hallways of my surgical wing." The chief asked sternly.
"They're my sisters sir..." Callie told him.
"Get them under control, and you too." The chief glared before walking away.
"See what you did!" Callie yelled.
Aria rolled her eyes, "Sorry you got in trouble with your precious boss, Calliope." Isla winced knowing that it was best not to mess with Callie at the moment, but Aria always pushed her buttons.
Callie didn't waste time thinking and hit Aria hard on the side of her head. Aria reached up with on hand to grab her temple while the other one pushed Callie off of her.
"Maldicion!" Aria punched Callie in the arm. "Dejame estar!" (Damn it. Back off)
"Come on. Arizona's waiting in the car." Callie said as she walked away from the teens.
Isla turned to look at Aria in amusement, "Dude, Callie just went all loca on you!" (Crazy).
Aria rolled her eyes but laughed along with her sister, "I know. Glad to see her temper has only gotten worse."
"Hey, take this." A voice from behind them said, and they noticed that it was Mark again.
"What is it?" Isla eyed the blue plastic bag suspciously.
"It's an ice pack for your head." Mark pointed to the bruise that was forming on Aria's temple.
"Thanks," Aria mumbled as she numbly took the ice pack.
"I must say, I love it when woman fight." Mark smirked.
"You're a pig." Isla muttered and walked in the direction that Callie had walked.
"Calliope! You have a big bruise on your arm." Arizona said when Callie first took a seat in her car.
"Yeah... us Torres woman bruise easily." Callie chuckled softly as she looked out the window and pointed toward the entrance of he hospital where Aria and Isla were walking out of.
"Is that a- Calliope! She's hurt." Arizona stated in shock.
Callie turned to look at Arizona wickedly, "We have a strange bond."
"Calliope!" Arizona looked at her in shock, "You did that?"
"She asked for it!" Callie defended herself.
"Calliope, that's child abuse." Arizona scolded her.
"Stop Calliope-ing me." Callie joked, "...and it's not child abuse. Child abuse is bad, this is just... revenge on my annoying little sister."
"Can we go." Aria grumbled as she climbed into the back seat, shooting Callie a glare.
"You okay, Aria?" Arizona asked in concern.
"I'm fine." Aria smiled back politely.
"Oh, we're really sorry about earlier. We were just joking, right Aria?" Isla said quickly as she looked over nervously at Callie.
"Yeah.. Right." Aria nodded.
Arizona smiled, "It's cool. Let's get home and set up the guest room and couch for you all."
"Oh, they can share the bed, it's not a problem. No need to pull out the couch or anything." Callie told Arizona.
Arizona turned to glare at her, "Who said the couch was for them?" Callie's jaw quickly dropped.
Aria broke out laughing hysterically. "Poor Calliope."
"Say Calliope one more time, and I swear I will make sure you have black eyes to go with that bruise." Callie hissed quietly as she turned her body to glare at Aria in the back seat.
"...that would give you a one way ticket to 'no sex for a week'." Aria shot back. "How would you live with that."
"Well, seeing as you two are here being..." Callie was cut off.
"Cock blockers? Does that term still apply?" Aria asked. Arizona looked through the rear view mirror and laughed quietly. She couldn't help it, but Aria and Isla were amusing.
"I'm calling Dad." Callie stated as she turned back in her seat to face the front.
"So this is my home." Arizona stated as they walked into her comfy house.
"Charming." Isla commented.
"It's not much, but it's just me and sometimes Calliope. Then, with the hours I work, I am not really here much anyways." Arizona explained.
"It's great. Thanks for letting us stay." Aria smiled softly Arizona led them to the room where would be staying.
"It's no problem, you can just dump your stuff here, and come into the kitchen so we can decide to what to order." The two girls obliged and followed Arizona into the kitchen where Callie was already arguing on the phone.
"Marco, just let me speak with my father." Callie yelled into the phone. "Fuck you, then." Callie muttered as she hung up the phone.
"No luck?" Isla asked quietly.
"Marco recognized my voice." Callie muttered a she jumped onto the counter and grabbed a cookie. "I'm stuck with you two."
"Look, Callie, it's probably best..." Isla trailed off. "We'll be good, right Aria?"
"Yeah." Aria nodded honestly, "We're really sorry."
"You won't even notice we're here. We'll find something to keep us busy tomorrow, so that you and Arizona can have a day to yourself." Isla bargained.
"Yeah, just please let us stay until Sunday. Just until Sunday." Aria pleaded.
Callie eyed them suspiciously. "What's going on that you're not telling me?"
Isla opened her mouth to speak but was cut off my Aria. "Nothing." Aria muttered nudging Isla in the ribs.
Arizona looked across the kitchen at Callie with the same look of concern in her eyes. She had only known the girls for a couple hours, but they were acting a bit strange.
"Come on guys, I know I treated you like crap earlier, but I'm your big sister. Talk to me."
Aria looked over at Isla and it seemed that the two were have a telepathic argument until Isla sighed, "Just tell her Aria."
"Shut up, Isla." Aria muttered.
"Tell her why we're here." Isla shouted but decided to tell Callie herself, "Dad kicked us out for the weekend so that him and Mom can settle some things without our prying ears."
"What do you mean he kicked you out." Callie asked completely confused.
"He kicked us out. He gave us each 3 thousand to spend in Europe for the weekend." Aria explained.
"What do they possibly need to settle?" Callie questioned them with a raised eyebrow.
Aria shared a glance with Isla before saying the word Callie never thought she'd hear. "Divorce."
"What?" Callie shrieked.
"We don't know what's going on, but they're splitting up, and they are having a huge battle over the house, and the cars, and the vineyard in Europe, and..." Aria trailed off.
"What?" Callie urged Aria to continue but she shrugged and looked down at her feet awkwardly.
"They're fighting over who gains custody over us. Mom doesn't want to stay in Miami if Dad is there, and of course he has to stay there for the business. So she was thinking of moving to Europe, but Dad won't allow us to leave with her." Isla continued for her sister.
"Holy crap." Callie mumbled.
"I can see that we're going to be staying in for Dinner. I'll order pizza." Arizona excused herself from the room.
"Divorce? How? When? Why?" Callie asked quickly.
"Yep." Aria answered.
"How? We don't know." Isla shurgged.
"Started a few months ago, when Dad came back form visiting you." Aria told Callie softly.
"Why, well you do the math. That's a part of the reason why we came here. To find some answers." Isla explained.
"Well, I don't know how I had anything to do with this. Mom's been ignoring my calls, so it's not like she is approving my relationship with Arizona." Callie muttered.
"I don't know." Aria shrugged. "Look, it's already 10, and I'm pretty beat. I'm going to head to bed."
"Me too, tell Arizona thanks for the pizza, and that I will eat it for breakfast." Isla yawned.
"Okay." Callie mumbled still in shock that her parents were getting divorced.
"You okay, sweetie?" Arizona asked quietly as they laid in bed snuggled up next to each other.
"I'm fine. I really am, I am just really confused." Callie sighed as she turned to face Arizona.
"Things like this just happen, I guess." Arizona shrugged.
"You don't understand, my Dad is like madly in love with my mom. He bought her every single piece of jewelry you can imagine. If she wanted it, he got it for her." Callie explained.
"There is a difference between actually showing love, and buying it, Calliope." Arizona whispered softly.
Callie nodded, "I know. I am started to realize that now. He's always bought his way into our lives, and I don't know." Callie groaned into her pillow. "It's like all of a sudden, the man who I've loved my entire life, the man who was my hero, my super man, is some complete super villain monster."
"He's still you Dad, Calliope."
"No. I'm done with him. If he can't accept that I'm happy with you, then he's out of my life. Same goes for my mom." Callie muttered as she pulled Arizona in closer to her.
They were about to fall asleep when they heard a loud knock at the front door.
"What the hell?" Callie muttered as she lifted her head to look at the clock. "It's freaking 3 A.M."
"Come check with me." Arizona replied groggily as she pulled on a robe and climbed out of bed.
"Urgh." Callie muttered as she slowly pulled herself out of bed and walked out into the hallway where she was met by grumpy looking Aria and Isla.
"Who the heck is knocking?" Aria asked as she crossed her arms across her chest.
"Hell if I know." Callie replied as she walked toward the foyer where Arizona had already let the stranger in, only the person was no stranger to Callie.
"Mama?" Callie asked.
"Mama!" Isla and Aria both squealed as they ran passed Callie and Arizona into their mothers arms.
"Oh honey buns, what are you doing here?" Maria asked her daughters. "I thought you were in Paris."
"We came to visit, Callie." Aria smiled softly as she continued hugging their mother tightly.
"What are you doing here, Mama?" Callie asked almost rudely.
"Callie, I need to talk to you." Maria whispered as she looked Callie straight in the eye.
"Oh NOW you want to talk to me. About what, Ma? You've ignored me for the past few months." Callie replied.
"Calliope, maybe we should take this to the living room." Arizona jumped in awkwardly.
"Hi, you must be Arizona Robbins, I'm Maria Torres." Maria introduced herself sweetly.
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Torres." Arizona smiled back as Maria walked up to hug her tightly.
"Call me, Maria." Maria smiled, "Mrs. Torres reminds me of my ass of a husband." Maria said venomously.
Arizona led them to the living room and took a seat in her recliner, while Maria and Callie sat on the couch. Aria and Isla decided to sit in the bean bags that Arizona had for when she and Callie played video games.
"So, explain." Callie whispered to her mother.
"When your father came back and told me that he had cut you off, I was angry. Then he explained the circumstances, and let me tell you, I was quite surprised, I mean you are Callie Torres." Maria joked humorously.
"Ma!" Callie blushed.
"That's what I said." Aria but in.
"Well, Mija, I'm just saying, you were never much of a prude around the men. Nothing to be ashamed about." Maria shrugged, "So anyways, I told your father, "Jose, did she look happy with this woman?" and your father of course just grumbled and muttered about how it didn't matter, but I knew." Maria paused as she lifted her hand to Callie's cheek, "Mother's instincts, I guess, but I knew you were happy. So I told him, "Aye, Jose, if she's happy, then leave it alone. She's a grown woman." Maria smiled. "I mean, he didn't care when you were recklessly sleeping with different men, but when you're in a committed relationship with a woman, he freaks. I didn't understand. But, he flipped out on me saying, that if I was going to be approving of such, "filth", then maybe he needed to cut me off..." Maria trailed off. "I love your father, very much so. So, I stayed and tried to ease him into this a little better. I tried to get him to go to these support groups, but he wouldn't listen, so finally I had enough, and I had to leave. There comes a point where enough is enough. We're getting divorced, and it's not like I'll be left out on the streets, because el stupido never made me sign one of those pre-nups. So, I get half of his settlement."
"So you're okay with this?" Callie asked softly with tears in her eyes.
"Mija, you look so happy, how could I not be okay with this?" Maria smiled kissing her daughter on the forehead.
"Wait, how did you know Callie was here?" Arizona asked.
"Aye, Mjia!" Maria slapped her hand on Arizona knee, "let me tell you about my first Seattle adventure. So I go to the hospital and beg someone to give me the address of Callie's apartment, and finally some man named Sloan came up to me and asked if he could help me something. So, I turned on my charm, and I got the address like that." Maria snapped her fingers. "That man was as easy as pie."
"Remind me to slap Mark, next time I see him." Callie muttered.
"...So then I get to the apartment, and this woman opens the door, and here I'm thinking she's Arizona, so I hug her tightly and tell her how happy I am that she is making my baby happy. She didn't like that very much..." Maria trailed off humorously.
"That's Cristina for you." Arizona chuckled. "She's Calliope's roommate."
"...So finally after some begging, she gave me the address of your house." Maria ended her story with a smile.
"Interesting night, Mom." Isla joked.
"Aye, isn't it ironic how we're all here!" Maria laughed. "It's fate."
"Ironic." Callie agreed quickly before jumping into the interrogation. "So what are you doing here? You flew all the way across the country to tell me that?"
"I need your help, Callie. I need to find a lawyer, and gain custody of the girls." Maria said pointing to them girls.
"They're over the age of 14, can't they decide on their own?" Arizona asked.
"Knowing my father, he'll find a way around that." Callie muttered. "Where are you planning going after you gain custody?"
"Here, of course. I want to be close to you. In case you and Arizona decide to have little babies." Maria cooed as she grabbed her daughter's cheeks.
"Ma!" Callie shook her face away.
"Sorry, Sorry. I'm embarrassing you aren't I?" Maria laughed.
"That's so cool. We'll be able to see you so much!" Aria grinned wickedly at Callie.
"Spend the night here every weekend." Isla jumped in.
"Visit you at work after school EVERYDAY." Aria smiled deviously.
Callie groaned, "No! Go back to Dad. Hate be for being with a woman. Please... I don't mind. Cut me off." Callie begged.
"Aye, Mija, what happened to your face?" Maria asked finally noticing the bruise and swelling on the side of Aria's face. Aria simply glared at Callie, and Maria got the hint. She shook her head and pinched Callie on the leg, "Why won't you leave your sister alone?"
"What the-" Callie got off the sofa angrily. "Urgh, I liked it better when you ignored me." Callie said walking off toward her room to sleep.
Maria turned to Arizona with a proud smile. They both knew that Callie was more than happy that her family was back in her life. No matter how much she denied it.
THE END? TBC?
You decide.
