Chapter 1 - Notification

Callie stirred in her sleep as she heard her phone buzzing against the wooden surface of her nightstand. It vibrated for a few seconds then stopped. Her phone rarely made any noises in the middle of the night so she was curious as to who it was. She tried to force her eyes open, reaching for her phone. She squinted as she read the notification on the screen.

Missed Call: Ari

She was wide awake now. Phone in hand, she quietly climbed out of bed and tiptoed to the door. She opened it and walked through, closing it softly behind her. She let out the breath she was holding and walked over to the window in the living room that overlooked New York City, grabbing a sweater on the way. She slid the hoodie over her head and pried the window open. The cool New York breeze hit her as she stepped out onto the fire escape, taking a seat on the steps that led up to the next floor.

She looked at her phone and pressed the return call option displayed near the notification. She shivered as the phone rang.

Ring.

Ring.

Ring.

"Calliope."

Callie closed her eyes as the sweet voice poured through the phone into her ear. "Arizona."

Arizona's voice was barely above a whisper. "Hey."

"Hi."

There was a moment of silence as they both took in each other's presence. It had been a while.

"I - I missed your voice." Arizona admitted clutching her chest where her heart would be.

"I missed yours too. How are you?"

Arizona smiled. "I'm good." She heard the faint sound of a fire truck passing through the phone. She chuckled. "Where are you?"

Callie couldn't help but return Arizona's laugh. It had always been contagious to her. "On the fire escape freezing…for you"

Arizona looked over her shoulder into her bedroom, a grin etched on her face. "Sorry." She paused for a moment. "I didn't think you'd answer."

Callie pulled the phone away from her ear to glance at the time. "It's four here. I was sleep." She looked down at the passing cars. "You're lucky you're you."

Arizona slapped her hand to her forehead. "I'm really sorry. I forgot about the time difference - three hours right?"

Callie shook her head, the smile permanent now. "Yes. It's okay though."

There was another moment of silence before Callie spoke up again. "I picked up your new book the other day."

Arizona blushed. "You did?" Something about Callie reading her work made her nervous. She bit her lip. "What do you think?"

Callie could hear the apprehension in her question. "It was amazing, just like all your other ones Arizona." Callie finished her book in two days, which says a lot with the schedule she keeps. If she was being completely honest, Callie's opinion about Arizona's work was bias, she loved everything she wrote.

"Thank you." Arizona glanced over her shoulder again. "How's everything for you?"

Callie beamed with joy. "Good, I've been working on a couple of scripts." Callie was a screenwriter, most famously known these days for creating and writing for the hit TV medical drama Surgeon's Law.

Arizona's smiled reached her eyes. "Wow. I'm really happy for you Calliope. You're doing what you always wanted."

Callie's smile faltered as she heard Arizona sing her name again. It made her heart flutter, the way it just rolled off of her tongue. "Thank you." She paused. "I really miss you."

Arizona sighed into the phone. It had been four years since she's seen Callie face to face. They dated when they were younger but things didn't work out; chalk it up to bad timing. They lost touch for a while so when her agent informed her that a Callie Torres wanted to get in contact with her, she didn't think it was Calliope. Her Calliope. "I miss you too. More than I'd like to actually."

"I-" Callie was cut off by the sound of footsteps coming down the hall.

"Baby?" A curious voice called out.

Callie cursed under her breath. "Arizona, I'm sorry. I have to go."

Arizona couldn't help the disappointment she felt at the conversations end. "Ok."

"Talk to you later."

Callie had just hung up the phone as her girlfriend Molly rounded the corner. "Babe, what are you doing out there?"

Callie climbed back through the window and closed it behind her. She faced Molly with a weak smile, placing her phone in her sweater's pocket. "I couldn't sleep."

Molly looked at Callie with volumes of love in her eyes and reached for the Latina's hand. "Come on, let's go back to bed."

Callie took Molly's hand and was led down the hall to their bedroom. A feeling of guilt passed through her body. She had a wonderful girlfriend right here… with her now, but something… someone in Seattle kept tugging at her heart. She entered the bedroom, her hand dropping freely to her side. She pulled the sweater over her head, her phone still in its pocket and threw it on the chair in the corner.

She climbed in bed and settled in on her back. Molly snuggled up next to her, her arm and leg wrapping around her girlfriend. She looked up into Callie's eyes. "You've been having a hard time sleeping lately baby. You should really go see someone about that."

The Latina looked at her girlfriend and smiled. She was a terrible person. "Yeah, I just might." She leaned down to place a soft kiss on her temple. "I love you."

Molly smiled and nuzzled further into her girlfriend, needing the warmth of her body to fall asleep. "I love you too."

Callie stared at the ceiling as Molly drifted back off into a slumber. Even as her girlfriend lay on her, there was someone else on her mind.

Arizona.

Arizona gripped the phone in her hand holding it against her chin. She already missed Callie's voice. She looked over her shoulder once more at her girlfriend Julie sleeping in their bedroom. The blonde ran her fingers through her hair and stood up, making her way into the room. Sitting her phone on the nightstand, she kicked of her slippers and eased into bed turning her back to her girlfriend.

She stared off in the dark lost in her own mind until she felt an arm wrap itself around her waist. Her body tensed up until those familiar soft lips kissed the back of her neck. She placed her own hand on the hand resting on her abdomen. Though she lay in the bed she'd been sharing with her partner for the past eight months, she couldn't help but anticipate the next conversation she would have with her ex.

Thank you for reading the first chapter. Let me know what you think.
