Hey Pretty Girl
Chapter 1
Callie looked down at the box she had bought from the pharmacy earlier that day. When she mentioned she was late to Arizona, she suggested Callie to take a pregnancy test. They had been trying to have a baby for a while now and Callie felt like she was really pregnant this time. All of the tests she took in the past had been negative. So after work, she stopped by the pharmacy to pick up a pregnancy test.
It was now the next morning and she was standing at the sink staring at the box while Arizona was waiting on the other side of the door. She opened the box and took a deep breath before peeing on the stick. Three minutes. She would find out if was finally going to be a mother in the next three minutes. She laid the stick down on the bathroom sink. The wait felt like an eternity. She opened the door to let Arizona in the bathroom. When she heard the timer on her phone go off, she grabbed Arizona's hand and held on tight.
"It's been three minutes. Are you ready to find out if we're going to be parents?" Callie asked Arizona. "I'm ready." Arizona replied. Both women were nervous for the result so they just held onto each's others hands tighter for some comfort. Callie picked up the stick from the counter. Initially, she didn't say anything. She just stared at it. Arizona brought her out of her haze. "So are we going to be parents?" she asked. "It's positive." Callie said. "We are definitely going to be parents." She couldn't believe it. After all this time of trying for a baby, the moment was actually here. She really was pregnant and she and Arizona were really going to be mothers. Both Callie and Arizona started crying, happy tears of course. Callie kissed Arizona's lips. "I'm so happy."
Arizona put her hand on Callie's belly and kissed it. "Hello in there. I'm your mama." Arizona was talking to Callie's belly. Being doctors, they were fully aware of the developmental stages of a growing fetus, but as soon to be parents, they were so excited that they were finally going to have a child of their own. Callie giggled. "It can't hear you. It doesn't even have ears yet." She said. "I know but this is exciting. Our lives are about to change." Arizona replied. She stood up and kissed Callie on the lips. "I love you." She said. "I love you too." Callie said back to her as they kissed each other.
They immediately made an appointment with Addison to find out how many weeks Callie was and to make sure everything was ok. They didn't want to share the good news just yet, even though they were so happy they wanted to shout it form the rooftops. After getting dressed and grabbing their coffees in their coffee mugs, they took off for the hospital.
When Callie and Arizona arrived at Seattle Grace – Mercy West Hospital, they changed into their scrubs and went to go find Addison. Callie found her in the pit. "I need to talk to you" she said. "What about?" Addison said. Callie took her into an exam room for some privacy. "I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was positive. Can you check me out?" Callie said. "You're my friend. Of course I will. Come find me this afternoon around 3 pm. Bring Arizona if she isn't in surgery." Addison said as she gave Callie a hug and a smile and walked back out into the pit and towards the elevators.
After a long morning for both her and Arizona, they arrived on the OB floor of the hospital. "Can you tell me where I can find Dr. Montgomery?" Callie asked the nurse who was sitting behind the nurse's station. "She should be in her office." She answered. "Thank you." Callie said as she took Arizona's hand and they walked in the direction of Addison's office. Even though the door was open, Callie knocked on the door frame. "Hi guys, come on in." Addison said as she smiled at the couple. "We're actually going to go to exam room 2 so I can do the ultrasound and run some tests." She said. Callie and Arizona followed Addison to exam room 2.
Callie laid back on the table and lifted her shirt up as Addison squirt the cold blue jelly on her stomach. Arizona held her hand and gave her a kiss on her forehead. After a few minutes, Addison said "Okay, everything looks good here. You look to be about 12 weeks." She printed out the ultrasound pictures and gave them to the couple. Arizona leaned down to give Callie a kiss on the lips. "That's our baby." Arizona said while looking at the picture. "That is our baby." Callie replied. "I'll see you in a few weeks and we can find out the gender of the baby, if you want to know. Congratulations guys." Addison said with a smile on her face.
After sitting in the room for a few more minutes, Callie and Arizona left together hand in hand. They were so excited that they could finally start telling their friends and families. They decided to host a party for the big announcement that weekend. It would be easier if everyone was in the same room when they made this announcement than if it spread like wildfire at the hospital. It was a special moment and they didn't want it to be a part of the rumor mill at SGMWH.
Saturday morning, Callie and Arizona woke up to start getting the house ready for the party. Callie spent most of the morning in the bathroom next to the toilet. Her morning sickness was usually bad in the mornings, but subsided in the afternoons and evenings. "You're child hates me." She said to Arizona. "He or she doesn't hate you. I'm sorry you feel bad baby." She said as she helped Callie up from the floor and get dressed for the party. The whole downstairs and back yard was decorated and there was plenty of food and drinks to go around. There was also a professional DJ in the corner of the house. Once the guests started arriving, the party really got started. The only person who knew about the pregnancy was Addison, of course, and April.
The doorbell rang and in walked Mark, Lexie, Meredith, and the rest of their friends. Callie and Arizona wanted to make the announcement in the middle of the party so they could have time to talk to their friends and continue with the party. Callie couldn't drink, so she just stuck to non-alcoholic beverages the whole night. Arizona on the other hand already had a few glasses of wine. They decided that now was the time to make the announcement before everyone got to drunk.
Callie pulled Arizona into the bathroom. "Are you ready to tell all of our friends that we're having a baby?" She said. "I'm ready." Arizona replied with a kiss on Callie's lips. She grabbed Callie's hand and they walked hand in hand back to the party.
April and Addison told the DJ to cut the music for now. The guests of honor had just made their way back to the party and were headed towards the front of the room. "Hey guys, thank you all for being here tonight." Arizona said. "We threw this party because we have something to share with all of you." Callie said. "As some of you may know, Callie and I have been trying to have a baby for quite some time now. And I'm happy to announce that we are expecting our first child together. Callie is pregnant." Arizona said while holding onto Callie's hand as they both had smiles on their faces. All of their friends started clapping and cheering and congratulating them.
April pulled out her camera, as April does, and began taking pictures. "Okay you two, smile for the camera" she said. April took pictures of Callie, Arizona, and all of their friends, sometimes staged, sometimes they were caught off guard. She didn't say anything to them but she was planning on putting together a scrapbook of photos to give to them once the baby was born. It was her gift to her best friends.
The rest of the party and the rest of the night went smoothly. No one got hurt or injured, considering the copious amount of alcohol that was being consumed and the loud music that was coming from the DJ booth. The party continued into the night and wrapped around 2 am. The house was a mess, but Callie and Arizona were just so tired they decided they would clean it up the next day. After bidding farewell to April and Meredith, as they were the last two to leave with their husbands, Jackson and Derek, Callie and Arizona headed up to their bedroom.
Arizona snuggled into Callie once they got settled into bed. "I love you and I can't wait to meet our child." She said. "I love you too baby." Callie replied. Callie looked into sparkling blue eyes and gave Arizona a kiss on the lips. Arizona laid her hand on Callie's belly and kissed her back. There was no place either of them would rather be than right here in this moment.
