A chill ran through the air ridding the air like an rollercoaster. Leaves skipped and flipped across the dark freshly paved road. With every step pulling long legs down the darkly lit road, dark eyes looking for anything that was open. Anything that would make a good shelter from the wind and cold.
'Yes' came to mind
A house open only lit by a single light two men loading tools into a truck.
'I'm glad this job is done, I swear that woman was picky about everything.' One man said.
' Its her money and we are getting paid.' The other said.
Crouching down just outside the door in the dark the lone person waited for an opening and slipped in once the men's backs was turn.
'Hey hit the alarm and let's go I'm hungry!'
Dark eyes widened and legs tried to move quickly to the door. The though that there was going to be a fight to get out came to mind.
But the door slammed and the alarm was set.
' No no no noooooo.'
Moving to the window dark eyes watched as the truck pulled away leaving them locked in for god knows how long.
ARIZONA'S POV
I spent so much tim and money in this house only to come in and find a woman fast to sleep on my floor. She is beautiful amazing tan for this could weather long dark brown hair flowing back.
"Maybe you should wake up." I say
I jump back when she jumped up off the floor, Dark eyes looked around Im sure looking for a way out. I blocked the only way out of the room but I wasnt going to move before I found out how she got in here.
"What are you doing in my house?" I asked
Her mouth opened but nothing but a sqweak came out. she tried to speak but nothing came out.
"We arnt plauing games, what are you doing in here? I asked getting pissed off.
She looked around then down at my note pad and pen. Holding out her hand I followed her eyes before slowly handing it over taking a step back to ready myself for if she attacked. I watched as she wrote quickly on the paper before she handed it back to me.
" Im really sorry I didnt know that this was anyones house, I didnt break anything. Im sorry I cant answer you I'm mute." I read out loud.
"Your mute?"
She nodded before looking down at her hands.
"Look at me." I say.
That was the wrong thing to say those brown eyes sucked me in and I was for a lost for words.
"Whats your name?" I asked holding out the paper for her.
she took a frw steps closer and wrote her name on the paper.
"Callie...Thats a nice name is it short for Calliope?" I ask.
Callie gave a growl and I had to laugh.
I watched her pick up her bag and I see a Marine logo on the green bag.
"Wait your a Marine so that means you can do hard work."
She looked at me and gave a half smile.
"My brothers kids are moving in with me so I got a play set that I could use someone to put it together.I will pay for all the things you need and you can have a room over there and I will pay you for whatever work you do. That sound like a plan? " I ask
She thought it over and Im guessing the thought of sleeping on the street over the winter wasnt somrthing she wanted to do.
Sh gave a nod and put her bag down.
I started pushing her to the door.
"First this is you need a hair cut and some clothes." I say opening the door.
As I pushed her I could smell of something spicey and it smelt so good, so that told me that he must have washed up in one of the bathrooms. When she got in the car next to me the thought hit me that I was doing something I wouldnt normally do. I dont know her she could be a killer, but I grew up around Marines and I could let fmaily walk out in the cold.
Im lieing I found her hot and I am a sucker for a woman in uniform.
CALLIE POV
This woman is out of her mind she too me in with only knowing that I was a homeless Marine. She gave me a job and a place to stay in one breath, and that is fine. But this is a bit much.
"Just try on the damn Jeans Calliope." She says
I let out a growl before taking the arm of clothes and going to the dressing room. I looked at myself in the mirror and smile. I looked like I did before I left the Mariens, letting ot a sigh I started to try on the jeans and out of all of them only one didnt fit and I didnt like them anyway.
"OK that is all that doesnt fit?" She asked
I realized that I didnt know her name so I put her hand on my chest.
"What Callie?"
I moved her had to her chest and she gave me a look.
"Oh my god...You want to know my name...Im Arizona Robbins."
I smile and grab the clothes walking away.
"That will be $650." the young girl says and my jaw dropped.
even when I had a job and paid for my own things I would never pay 650 for just jeans, my all my clothes didnt cost that much.
I shook my head.
"Callie hush."
She did not just hush me and now she is giving me a little push.
why am I following her without putting up a fight, this woman was all money towing my ass around in aMercedes AMG GT S, yes I know my cars when I see them. 650 for ten jeas 450 for a hair cut now what.
I grab her arm when she tried to go into som top name store that had top priced shirts hanging on the walls.
with my free hand I turn her to Belks and pulled her along, I dont need all this name brand shit. I grabbed the first pack of tshirts that I could find then underwear pulled her over to the shirts hanging on the hagers an looked around for my favoret color, when I found the black dress shirts I took a few and gave them to her befor pulling her to the casher.
with all the sells going on the bill didnt pass 100$ and thats what I liked. I held up one finger and walked off to find two sets of jeans that I could work in. She may have me dressed up but she will not tell me what I can work in.
"Is that it?" Arizona giggled and I shook my head.
ARIZONA POV
I watched as Callie watched the movers move her bed into her room then once they was done she walked over to the bed and ran her hand over the heavy wood. Her eyes narrowed and she rubed at her eyes before walking deeper into the room. She didnt know I was watching her and thats how I wanted it to stay so I started to go over the list of things that was being taken of the truck. Callie smiled at me when she walked up to me and looked over my shoulder something I hated people to do.
she poked at my side making me laugh but that made me slap her hand away angerly she looked at me and poked me again this time not out of fun, the way her eyes narrowed at me told me I had made her mad by hitting her. But that all changed when something fell off the truck making a loud popping sound before slapping the ground with a loud crack that sounded like a gun shot.
she pulled me down and covered my body with hers.
"MISS ROBBINS..."
"No dont move stay right where you are." I called out
to them I looked like I slipped and the was coming to help me, what they didnt know was the woman that didnt speak was going to hurt them if one of them got close enough where she could grab them.
"Callie Callie look at me its ok."
I grabbed her face to try and get her to look at me but her eyes was wide and she wouldnt look at me.
"Go clean up that mess." I tell the man that she had her eyes on.
"Callie look at me everything is ok see."
she looked down at me but she still had a grip on her Kabar knife.
I had her everything was fine until the same man she had shown distaste for grabed her from behind.
"NO!"
Callie flipped him over her shoulder before any of us knew it had him on his back knife going for the kill. I did the only thing I could do at that moment and that was to jump on her making her freeze
the man looked up at us then to the knife that was inches away from his gut.
"Shes a post war Marine with PTSD gently slide out the way and stay out my house." I say
the knife was so close that it cut right through his thick shirt as he moved.
"HAHAHA man i told you one day you was going to get your ass kicked by a woman." I heard from outside.
it wasnt funny but what made it funny was Callie standing up as if I weighted started to dry heave and I jumped down just in time for her to run of to the bathroom.
"You ok Ma'am? My brother is going through the samething so I know she didnt mean any of that."
"Its fine Tony she will be fine just keep him out of here." I say.
"Will do." Tony said and walked out the house
"Hey meat heads back to work shows ova and you c'mer."
Tony was just like me a hard worker never wanted to be part of his family just like me, and for good reason.
As I picked up Callies knife I thought about my own family back in Boston and how I moved clear across the country to get away from. The Colonel/My father came out the USMC and took his place as head of some Southie Mob or something like that. Thats how much I cared Im a Doctor I save people not kill them. Tim followed dad and I some how talked him into letting me take the girls so they could have a chance at a life.
And as for Tony his father did the sameting and my dad hated him so when Tony found out I was going to move he was happy to help me.
I feel a tap on my shoulder and I turn to see Callie looking at me she mouthed the words Im sorry and that made me smile.
"Callie it was a trigger not your fault, and as for him well he pissed himself and thats alwas good for a laugh."
That got a smile.
the rest of the move was quiet and when they where done I got a call to go pick the girls up. This part I didnt like some Irish son of a bitch is going to try and muscle me and scare me into letting them have the girls Timmy signed them over to me but his friends didnt like this idea.
"Callie I need your help."
CALLIE'S POV
I dont mind helping but I just went from handy woman to nanny/handy woman over the span of half a car ride.
"I promis I will tell you more but I just cant right now right now I want to get the girls home fed and in bed so I can fill out the papers for school pn monday." Arizona says
I was just trying to find out where this SUV came from and without thinking I signed that it was nothing.
"You know ASL?"
I shook my head I could talk to but after years of not using my voice Im sure it would be shot.
"mmmmm."
"dont mmmm me...wait if you can mmmmm then you can talk."
'I cant.' I sgin
"Damn you."
we stopped at a light and I grabbed her hand and placef it on a scar on mu throat.
' making sounds doesnt hurt, I lost the abilty to talk in a botched surgery befor coming home 6 months ago.'
This had to be the longest damn red light ever, but as we waited Arizona kept rubbing her thumb over the scar and in turn relaxed me.
I grabbed her hand and licked if making her pull back.
"Oh god ew really?"
those blue eyes told on her and what they told me was she liked what I just did, I'm not sure why I even did it.
"OK here we are remember that you are to be my back up but no fighting.
'I got your 6.'
I watched on as Arizona talked to some irish man I dont car what was being said all I knowwas the two little girls holding on to my legs didnt like him nor did Arizona.
"Well you tell Timmy that we are out of his life and they are going to be well taken care of with me and to stay away just like dad."
She turned to leave when he grabed her and I grabed him binding his arm back behind him
"OH OWOW Call of your dog OW girlfriend girlfriend."
I couldnt speak to correct him and Arizona didn't bother.
"Tell Daddy I'm fine."
with that she took the girls hands and started walking away I followed after her.
'you didnt correct him'
"we will talk about it later."
later came after the girls was in bed and I was out the shower. I found her on the couch crying.
'Whats wrong?' I signed as I sat on the coffee table infront of her.
"My father his some big time mob boss in Boston and my brother is doing time for him witch wont last because they have some lawyers that make them look as clean cut as a brand new diamond. I fought for a year to get him to sign over his rights to the girls to me, I wanted them to have a life, the life that 4 year olds should have."
'Is that why you moved here?'
"I would have taken them anywhere in the world but in order for me to get the free and clear I had to promise to keep them in the states if I take them out for mor than two weeks they will find me and take them..."
something out the corner of her eye grabbed her eye and she pulled me into a kiss. my eyes rolled back and I relaxed into the kiss before she slowly pulled away and put her mouth to my ear.
"William is watching through the window."
I put my hand on her mouth and stood slowly.
'wait here.' I sign
I was going to enjoy this.
I cant belive I jus Kissed her I kissed her and it was so good and I want to do it some more. I picked up the glass of wine I was drinking out of and took a sip
"OH MY GOD!" I hear William scram
I ran to the door put in the code and through the door open in time to see William hit the ground.
"CALLIOPE!" I was taking a shot in the dark with that name
Her head snapped up and what I saw made me laugh, she was sitting on his chest shoving grass into his mouth.
"Will go home I'm happy without my family in my life."
Callie let him up and she walked over to me she gave me at im sorry look before looking back at William.
After watching him walk off into the night we went back to talking but I couldnt stop thinking about that kiss.
" Callie I'm sorry about kissing you it was wrong of me, I only known you for a few hours and Im doing things like that."
I couldn't look at her I felt like such a fool for doing that to a woman I hardly knew. Callie grabbed my chin to get me to look at her.
'Its just fine it doesnt have to mean anything if you dont want it to, I am just happy that you trust me enough to give me a place to stay and a job. I dont plan on just walking away from the only person that is willing to give me a chance.'
This woman had to be the sweetest person, afew hours ago I was I was ready to kick her out in the cold and now I'm kissing her and wanted that the kiss means something to her. Because deep down inside for some reason it did to me.
' We should go to bed.' she signed
"Um well thats the thing..." I pause
'whats wrong?'
"Well now that I know that William is watching us I know he is telling Timmy and Daddy everything...So we cant reall sleep in two different rooms."
'I understand...how about we make a deal?'
"Whats that?" I ask
'We can do whatever we need to do to keep you and the girls safe if we promise that we can be frinds no matter what.' She signs
I could do that that gives me time to woo her, I wanted her and I have no damn idea I know for sure that I wanted this woman more then anything and that scared the shit out of me.
CALLIE POV
I never slept with anyone before and sleeping with Arizona was something I knew would happen. I mean watching her with Alma and Alexis told me she was big on hugging, and that rolled over into her sleeping.
I was fast to sleep when I felt the bed move and with years of training I awoke to see what was happening. Arizona stumbled ther way to the bathroom before coming back after getting a glass of water. When she came back is when it happen, she climbed back in bed and slid her way across to me and pulled me into a throw her leg over my middle and her right arm did the same.
This was new to me I didnt know what to do so pulling my arm out I wraped it around her.
"Mmmm warm pillows."
I had to bite my lip to keep from silently laughing and that made me think about what I had to tell her about me. She knows nothing about me other then I'm a Marine.
With that thought I fell back to sleep.
"Oh my god...I'm so sorry."
I heard that in my ear and I jumped up flipping her to the other side of the bed.
'Imsosorrypleasedontbeupset'
"wait slow down...This isnt you fault I'm a cuddler I'm not upset."
Arizona slipped out of bed and moved around the bed and took my face in her hands and gave me a smile.
"Now I have to take Alma and Alexis school shopping I would like for you to join us." she says
'I would like that.'
'I never shopped of kids before'
"You an only child?" SHe asked
'No I have an older sister and she has a little girl named Abby...My father disowned me when I told them I was going into the Marines and she was about ready to pop when I left.'
Arizona frowned and bumped me softly.
"I'm sorry I know all about families that dont care if its more then how they feel."
"Callie should i get the blue or the red?" Alma asked
"She cant talk Alma." Alexis says
"I know she can hear me still, and anyway she talks with her hands like Aunt Arizona."
I look at Arizona with a questioning look.
She lifed her hair and I saw an implant on her head.
" was born def in this ear,it was bad I couldnt walk without falling over I had to train myself to walk. For years I lived as I was completly def I learned ASL so if I was to go completly def I would know how to camunacate." Arizona said
Thats whey she didnt have a issue with understanding me.
"Aunt arizona teched us how to read hands." Alma says smiling
I gave a smile and pointed to the blue dress and gave Alexis the red one.
'Noe you bothe have a dress.' I sign with a smile.
" what they dont know is I have to get the other put in, I'm loseing my hearing in my right ear." She says sadly
I looked at her there was no way I was leaving her now. And I know thats a lot to say now after a day and two hours, but shes my friend the only person that belives in me.
she looked at me.
'go out with me.'
"What?"
'Now go out with me, the girls too...No I will cook us a late dinner."
"Dont do this because you feel bad for me." She snapped
'I'm not I'm doing it because I want to be part of your life and not as som hired hand petending to be your girlfriend for show.'
She looked at me for a long moment as the girls pulled us along.
"And your not doing this because you feel bad?"
'No.'
"Ok."
IN BOSTON
"You look like shit William what happen to you?" Daniel asked
Tim was sitting on a couch laughing at his friend.
"She has some Marine girlfriend that I got into a fight with."
"You clearly lost." Daniel says not looking back at him
"Why would you say that!" William barked
Daniel looked up at him.
"I think you have forgotten who you are talking to. Now what is her name?"
"Something Callily Callie Ca..."
"Calliope?" Tim asked standing.
"Yeah Calliope...she yelled that while..."
"Whats so specal about that name?" Daniel asked
"Calliope was born to kill its its a big secret that they ganeticly inhanced her egg before inplanting it into a carrier. Shes some kind of hybrid human/cat thing she sees in the dark you dont hear her coming. she can't speak but she can make sounds to through you off and she hears everything." Tim says
"How do you know this?" Daniel asked.
"I was ment to be her handler but she never listened to me or anyone so they decamissioned her and sent her out on her own."
"To kill at will?"
"Thats the thing she never kills she will if need be but she will get he point across by fucking you up really good, if she doesnt beat you to death."
"Well she stopped when Arizona called her name." William says
"She some how Arizona must have emprinted herself to her." Tim says.
"Well there is no better place for them to be now is there?" Daniel said sitting down.
ARIZONA'S POV
I had to go into work for a few hours just to meet the other doctors and get the keys to my new office. Now I was sitting at my desk looking at a file that Callie gave to me before I left and I couldnt belive what i was reading.
She wasn't human, well she was but she was some kind of hybrid that I could swear that I would see on some syfy show. I felt a lot safer knowing that there wasn't any way that I or the girls was going to be in I couldn't believe that the government would just do this to a person and then let them go with no place to go or live.
But then again they dont seem to care just like my father and her's. Maybe thats why her father disowned her he knew all about what they did and didn't want any part in it.
Whatever the reason it doesn't matter now shes part of my family now and I have no reason to fear her, clearly if she wanted to hurt me she would have done so already.
" ?"
I looked up to to see Owen standing at the door.
"Yes."
"You can head home I will see you Monday." He says.
I smile as he leaves and I get my things together being sure to grab Callie's file before walking out and locking the door.I went up a floor to be sure that my apoint ment was still set for Monday before heading back home. On the drive I thought about my up coming surgery for my coclier girls will be in school and I was going to ask Callie to come with me.
When I reached the house I could hear the giggles of Alma and Alexis when I open the door.
"Aunt Zona come look what Callie Made." Alexis said running from the window where I saw her watching me.
I can tell now that Alma will be Callies little angel by the way she was hanging off her back as Callie cleaned the kitchen when I walked in.
"Cookies!" I yelped when I seen the plate full of cookies.
'One now and you can have more after dinner.'
"Aww man."
I think I just stomped my foot, I'm a sucker for anything sweet. I looked at the perfectly round cookies and picked one up before putting my things down.
Callie looked at the file then back at me.
"We will talk about it after dinner." I say giving her a hug.
CALLIE'S POV
I am more than a little freaked out by Arizona's reaction,she was ok one minute and now shes hissing at me.
'what the hell did I do to you? I never once lied to you in this short time I gave you that file because you should know about me.'
"And my girls whats going to happen if they come looking for you?"
'They wont I'm no good to them.'
"What the hell does that mean?"
'I have...had no reason to kill anyone I wouldnt have relations to have another me and fighting is the last thing I want to do.'
"And now?"
"Now I will kill anyone that thinks about hurting you or the girls.'
"Your file said you had a handler what if he comes looking for you?"
'Robbins he tried that once got him a broken arm.'
Aeizona's movement stopped
I know there has to be millions of Robbins in the world but tell me his name."
I pause to think before giving her a answer.
'Timothy D Robbins.'
Her body sinks down in the couch.
"Thats my brother...I just cant get away from him."
'I promise that you have nothing to worry about.'
I pulled her feet.
I open my mouth thinking I was going to let out a sigh. What happened shocked the hell out of us both.
"ok."
It was just like pur but it was clear as sunlight.
"You just spoke...you can speak!"
I gave a shrug
"Try again."
my mouth open and a pur came out.
"Well I guess that was wishful thinking on bout our parts." Arizona says smiling at me.
this has to be how cats feel when they are happy.
"What are you doing?"
I stop moving and looked up at her.
'I had a back itch.' I signed
" So you roll around the bed on your back?"
She let out a laugh and moved from the door and I stood more then a little embarssed about my actions.
"Callie from what I read you are a big hairless cat human your going to do all these long as you dont start leaving hair balls around the house I'm fine."
I sat on the bed.
"Oh and dont do that creazy body twisting that cats do."
I twisted and ran my tongue down my own stomach.
"OH God stop stop thats just creepy!"
in place of a laugh a deep pur came out of me and a big smile crossed my face.
Arizona pulled down the blanket and climed in bed turning out her light.
"Will you come with me Monday,I have my surgery in the morning." She asked
I gave her a thumbs up and a nod before turing out the light.
"Dinner was amazing and I had a great first date...Im sorry I lost my shit on you after."
I turned the light back on and looked at her.
"Yes you can have a goodnight kiss." She answered my unasked question.
Arizona sat up and I herd the sound of Alma moving down the hall to Alexis' room and that was it.
Arizona kissed me and all I could hear my heart and hers pounding the rest was back ground noise.
"That is wow..."She mumbled as I put my face in her neck.
"Mmm."I pur
"That tickles."
SHe pushed me back and my smile felt like it was going to split my face
I froze when I heard Alexis crying.
'The girls.'
we both jumped up and I led the way to Alexis' room.I knock on the door and get little shy answers to come in. when I opened the door the two was sitting on the bed.
"Whats wrong girls?" Arizona asked
"Alma told me that she heard you telling Callie that you was going def in your other ear." Alexis says
"I am but Im going to have a cochlear implant replaced and updated so I can still hear you." She says
"But who will take care of us and you."Alma asked
"Well Callie will be right here with us keeping us safe and sound." she says
ARIZONA POV
The girls tried every trick in the book to stay home but Callie wouldn't have any of it and I didnt blame her having me and two twins to look after is something I wanted her to have time to think before she took this on.
"Take this its for the doctors gym go for a run." I told her giving her my ID
Callie was sizing up the blonde Man that was looking at me.
"Callie focus on me."
Brown eyes looked at me.
"I have to say we would make perfect babies Arizona."
"MARK she doesn't know you she will hurt you."
I knew Mark he was my roomates boyfriend in medschool, he got me in here after years he still trys to get me to sleep with him, Hes joking now there was a time when he wasn't and that was a little creepy.
But Callie doesnt know him and knowing her she will kill him.
"Callie I will see you when I wake up ok?"
'I will be waiting.'
She really is the sweetest person I have ever known.
That was fast.
That was my first thought when I woke up, my second thought was of Callie but just as soon as I turned my head I saw her sitting in the chair watching me. A smile crossed her face and she took my hand and kissed it.
'How do you feel?'
"Sleepy."
I smiled when I heard my own voice, It wasnt muffled .
"I can hear." I say as tears start to fall down my face.
'I knew you would be just fine.' Callie signs
"Hush you was worried." I say softly
'I was I stayed right here until you came back and yes I was worried.'
I smile and look over to the door when there was a knock.
"How do you feel Dr. Robbins?" Dr Clark asked
"Sleepy but fine." I say
"Thats good lets run a few test and then I will let you go home." She said
we ran throug some test before she start to talk about the treatment.
"Well as you know we have skipped over a few steps but if there is any issues at all you need to call or come in ASAP. But there is no reason that you should have an issue." She said as Mark walked in
Cally stood and moved clocer to me and I took her hand to keep her calm.
"You know the deal Robbins let me have a look at my handy work." He said moving over to Callie's side of the bed.
"You have to move." I say
Callie moved over to let him look at his work.
"Everything looks good you will have little to no scaring as Itold you before, as long as you dont go off and cut off all your hair you will be fine. There isnt much anyone can do about hair not growing out of scar tissue." He says putting everything back in place.
"Well everything looks good I'd say you are all good to go" Dr Clark says as Callie pushes Mark out the way.
I sign my relice papers and Callie starts to help me get dress.
Her dark eyes was locked on my body and a growl came rumbling from her chest.
"Calliope."
She looked up and her face turned red and she looked down .
"Its fine that you find me attractive but you cant go around growling." I say laughing
I got into the chair and Callie picked up her back pack and handes me my bag before we started on our way. I realize once I was in the passenger seat that I never asked Callie if she could drive.
"Can you Drive?" I ask as she gets in the divers set of my SUV.
'No but I get the just of it.'
My eyes widen as she looks in her bag.
"Callie!"
ok that was to loud for us both.
' Don't worry I can drive.'
She handed me her wallet showing off her Drivers License. I let out a sigh and watched her fix the mirrors for her somewhat taller frame.
'Would you like to go on a date before the girl get out of school?'She asked
"I have a big band aid on my head and no makeup, I look like hell." I say
'You look beautiful to me and thats all that matters.'
I looked at her for a moment.
"Ok where are you taking me."
'You will see.'
She started the car and we started our drive.
"You know when I first saw you I thought you was beautiful."
She looked over at me then back at the road.
"I just wanted to touch your face just to see if yopu was real. But then I was pissed off that you was in my house and I want to slap you."
Her sholders shook.
"But I couldnt let you go, it was too hard to let you go.
She took her hands off the wheel
'Why?'
"I don't know I just couldnt give you up something wouldn't let me ."
'well I'm glad.'
We pulled into the parking lot of a small building.
'I found this place onenight while looking for a place to stay the night. The owner gave me some left overs.'
"Looks romantic." I say
'It is...thats the point I want to woo you.'
I dont know how someone can make ASL so sexy but she has no issuse doing so. Callie got out and moved around to my door and let me out before we walked hand and hand into the small building.
I offted wounder how Callie got along if she was unable to speak, but watching her I could see that she had no trouble getting what she wanted.
'the pizza here is amazing but the have a chicken alfedo that was amazing even when it was could.'
"How offten did you eat here?"
' Whenever I was on this side of town so about twice a week.'
"I've been meaning to ask why did you pick my house?"
"It was open, I was looking for some place to keep warm for the night its getting cold out and a lot of the homeless dont like to share unless you are willing to pay.'
"You do have anything to pay with?"
'No...PAY.'
Her eyes went to my chest.
"Oh my go is there no end to that." I say
'Nope even the homeless are willing to us sex to get what they want.'
We had a long conversation about her life and why she thought her mother did fight to keep her from getting disowned when it was clearly not her fault. We talked about my family and what I went through growing up. All in all this was the best date I have ever had and I had a lot.
CALLIE POV
I enjoyed my date with Arizona she was very attentive and was able to have a conversation without talking about only herself. I have had my share of dates,after all I wasnt always homeless, and they never talked about more then themselves.
She was happy talking about my life before the Marines and I was happy to tell.
Now I sat with the girls after they did homwork teaching them how to sign so they knew more of what I was saying
"Can we have bugers and fries?" Alexis asks
'Yes I will get started on that after I wake up Arizona.' I wrote down
I looked the clock to see that it was time to wake Arizona up. After eating she got really tired and after we picked up the girls we came home and got in bed.
I got up and made my may to the room where I found Arizona coming from the bathroom wiping her hands on a hand towle.
"Hey."
'Hey.'
she mad a beeline for me and stopped infront of me looking at me with a different look in her eyes.
"Thank you for such a beautiful lunch, I enjoyed every bit of it."
Arizona wraped herself around her arms around me and I did the same to her. It was peaceful and she was soft.
"Oh."
she pulled back and looked at me.
"That was clear as day please say if wasnt a fluke."
"No." I say and I jumped
Those were words and not just sounds.
"No No NO NO!"
It was dry and hard to get out but it was still words and not just wishful thinking.
