Chapter One: Prologue
Arizona POV
I'm an18-year-old freshman at UCLA and last week the strip turned pink. I just completed my first quarter of college. I knew that it would which is why I avoiding confirming my suspicions. If I had to guess, I'm about four months pregnant and I'll know for sure after my appointment in an hour.
My parents, Daniel and Barbara Robbins, are not going to be happy at all especially when I explain how I'm even pregnant in the first place. My parents know that I'm gay but they didn't know that my ex-girlfriend was born with a penis. I'm so not looking forward to that conversation.
Looking around my bedroom, I do a quick check-list, making sure I have everything I need before leaving the house. As, I make my way to the doctor's office, I can't help but think about the last time my love and I were together. When we created the life growing in my stomach.
"Arizona! Come on! Don't do this!" Her eyes are pleading for me to change my mind. We're standing in the middle of my bedroom, having to same conversation we've had multiple times since I told her I was staying in California.
"Calliope, you know I love you but I don't believe in long-distance relationships. You're the one who decided to go to college in New York. Not me!" I don't want to be the bad guy here but I have to be honest. "You could easily attend UCLA with me and Addison."
"And you could just as easily go to Pratt with me like we planned...Regardless, Ari we can make this work; I'll come home every break and you can come out whenever you can. We'll talk on the phone, email and video chat all the time. Hell, I'll even write letters if you want, just don't end a three year relationship over temporary distance." Pulling me into her arms, I melt like I always do. "I love you so much, Mariposa." I love it when she calls me that. The feel of her lips on my neck is causing a delicious throb between my thighs. Bringing our bodies closer together then leaning up, I cover her lips with mine. Our tongues massaging the other in the familiar way they do everytime we kiss.
It doesn't take long for the kiss to become heated and we're frantically throwing clothes around the room, trying to get as close as we can. Our kisses are desperate yet every touch and thrust is full of the love we share. Callie is filling every one of my senses as she brings me to a mind-numbing orgasm. Laying in eachother's arms, neither one of us says anything because we both know that nothing's changed. I'm still staying in L.A. and she's still going to New York.
I've missed her like crazy, she's the love of my life but she needed to go to be happy and I needed to stay. Though I'd be lying if I say I hadn't thought of packing up and going to get my girlfriend back. Shaking myself out of my daze, I get out of the car and head into the doctor's office. Signing in at the front desk, I grab a random magazine to entertain me as I wait to be called.
At the moment the only person that knows about this is my bestfriend Teddy. Teddy and I have known eachother since middle school when her family moved to California from Seattle. Having her with me kept me sane.
"Teddy, you look. I c-can't. I just...I can't." Sitting on the closed toilet, I anxiously wait for her to read the results. If I really am pregnant I don't know what I'm going to do. I saw my future with Callie and our ten kids but not like this; not when we aren't together or even in the same state. Nevermind, that we just started college.
"Zo?" The tone of her voice and the concern written on her face tells me what I already know. I'm pregnant with Calliope Torres' baby.
"Positive? It's positive isn't it?"
"Yea it is." Sitting down on the lip of the bathtub and grabbing my hand, she waits for me to say something.
"What the hell am I supposed to do, Ted? I would never consider abortion and it's definitely too late for that. But how am I supposed to be a parent and a student?" My voice is vibrating with nerves and I feel like I'm going to hurl.
"You aren't the first girl to have to juggle college and parenthood. You can do this if you want to or there's always adoption. Either way there are people who love and support you but before you decide anything you have to see a doctor and you have to call Callie."
"I don't know if I can do this and just thinking about talking to Callie makes my stomach turn. "
"Ok. Ok. Then let's take it one step at a time. Make an appointment with your doctor then talk to your parents." Nodding my head in agreement, we continue to sit there in her bathroom as I try to come up with a plan.
"Robbins? Arizona Robbins?" The nurse calling my name brings me back to the present.
"Right here." I put the magazine down on the table then walk over to the nurse waiting in the door. Following her into the back, I'm led to an exam room, where she takes all my vitals as well as blood and urine.
"Go ahead and put the gown on and Dr. Jones will be in with you shortly."
"Thank you." I reply then do as I'm told. I think I'm going to be sick. My nerves are officially shot to hell. Twenty minutes pass before my doctor walks into the room, chart in hand.
"Hello Arizona how are you?" She asks while gloving up.
"Hi Dr. Jones, I'm ok. I guess." I'm a mess is what I am.
"So, it says here that you think you're pregnant?"
"Yea. Aside from the positive pregnancy test, I haven't had a period in a while. I've never been that regular and I originally thought it was stress with school. But I've been sick for about two weeks now. So..." Nodding along, she makes a few notes in my chart.
"When was the last time you had intercourse?"
"Late August."
"Hmmm. Ok. The results to the blood test should be back soon but since it seems that you're pretty well along, I'm going to go ahead with a pelvic exam and sonogram. So lay back for me." The exam is slightly uncomfortable but doesn't last long. Once she's finished feeling around in my lady business, she rolls the sonogram machine over.
"This is going to be a little cold at first." Dr. Jones warns just before squirting the gel onto my stomach. Then moving it around with the transducer as she tries to get a clear picture. "There we go...there's your baby." Then she flips a switch and a fast swooshing fills the room.
"Oh my god." It's real now. That's my baby. Our baby.
"Nice strong heartbeat. Give me a sec to get some measurements." As she gets her measurements, I stare at our baby in complete awe. I'm going to be a mom. "Based on these, I'd say you're seventeen weeks, making your due date early to mid-May. Right now, your baby is being a bit shy so I can't tell the sex but hopeful they cooperate during our next appointment. Congratulations. I'll print out some picture for you. Make sure that you stop by the front-desk to make your next appointment and get the prescription for prenatal vitamins." Wiping the gel off my stomach, then sitting up, I nod in understanding.
"Thank you Dr. Jones." My mind is all over the place. This was not apart of the plan.
"It's my pleasure Arizona. I'll see you in a month for your 21-week scan. Again, congrats." Handing me the black and white print out then leaving the exam room. I stare at the picture for a few moments before getting dressed and heading back home.
Eyes fluttering open, starring up at the ceiling, I let my left hand rest over my stomach as I listen to my parents downstairs moving around the kitchen. I wish Tim was home with me right now. Sliding on my flip-flops, I walk the green-mile down to the kitchen. Taking a seat at the table, I try to work up the nerve to say what I need to say but my mom cuts into my thoughts.
"Hey honey, enjoying Christmas break so far?"
"Ummm yea. Sure...Mom? Dad? Can you...can you sit down for a minute?" I think I'm going to pass out.
"Honey are you ok? You look pale. Are you sick?" Mom rattles off as she and dad join me at the table.
"No. No, I'm not sick. But I do have something important to tell you both." There's an awkward silence as I try to find the words while they sit looking at me patiently. "Well you see...ok look the thing is, what I have to tell you is a bit of a surprise and I don't really know how to say it. I don't want you to be disappointed in me but I know you will be." Wiping away the tears that have fallen, I try to get myself together as my mom moves to wrap her arms around me.
"Honey, whatever it is can't be that bad. Just calm down and talk to us." Dad hasn't said anything but I can see the concern in his forty-eight year old eyes. Taking a deep breath, I lock eyes with mom.
"I'm pregnant." Glancing from one to the other, letting them digest this new information, I watch as shock and confusion play across their features before anger settles on my father's.
"Sweetheart, did some guy take advantage of you at that damn school?! You tell me right now Arizona!" Oh god, he thinks I was raped.
"No, dad. I wasn't raped or anything like that."
"Then honey...you're gay. I don't...how?" Mom can't complete a sentence and dad is back to being confused.
"It's Callie's baby, mom." Sharing confused glances with eachother, I continue. "Callie is all woman but she was born with a male reproductive system. We were always careful except for the last time...obviously." Placing my baby's first picture on the table for them to see, I sit back and wait for the bomb to drop. Letting me go, mom grabs the sonogram.
"Oh my goodness." Her voice is full of emotion. "Dan...we're grandparents."
"Arizona sweetheart...I don't really know what to say here. I won't lie, I'm not at all happy that my teenage daughter is pregnant but I will tell you this, leaving school is not an option...I just...I don't know." I've never seen my dad so lost for words.
"How far along are you? Have you talked to Callie yet?"
"No, mom, I haven't and honestly I don't know when I will. I'm not ready to talk to her right now. The only people who know are you two, Teddy and my doctor. And I'm seventeen weeks."
"Honey, you have to tell her. You're already almost half way through and you don't look pregnant at all. You're aunt Stef was the same way when she was pregnant then around the sixth month her bump popped practically overnight."
"Mom...I know ok. I will tell her...when I'm ready." Whenever that is.
