Say you will say you won't

Ch.1

"ARRRRRGG!!"

Callie was suddenly woken by her blaring alarm clock. She reached over and hit the snooze button to stop the horrible sound she sincerely hated. She was not a morning person. Callie turned around to greet her husband. He was the only one that gave her the courage to get up at such an early hour. Unfortunately he had woken up earlier for his shift at Seattle Grace Hospital. The only good thing about that was, she got an extra fifteen minutes of sleep.

Chief was finishing his coffee as Callie barged through the two swinging doors. "Dr. Torres-O'Malley where have you been, your shift started about 20 minutes ago?!?" Callie stumbled, and was desperately trying to find her words. There was no excuse, and she definitely couldn't make one off at the top of her head at the moment. "I over slept," she was finally able to say. "Well that seems to be the excuse quite often," Chief said sharply.

There was no use arguing. It was going to be a long day.

As Callie had predicted, it wasn't an easy day. But she was happy that she was able to sit back on the couch with George. Her head laid in his lap, and he stroked her dark silky hair. It was wonderful how they could both lay without saying a word, and it still be romantic.

Callie suddenly broke the silence with a question that caught George off guard. "Do you ever think of when we are going to start our own family?" George was confused. "Not really. I mean, I have, but I thought we agreed that a child wouldn't be able to fit in our busy schedules." Callie couldn't help but feel disappointed. She thought if she gave him time, he would change his mind. Apparently he hadn't.

Instead of telling him how she really felt, she just replied, "Yeah." But she so desperately wanted to let him know what was eating her up inside. She hated keeping something so big from the person she loved the most. But she knew what she wanted, and she wanted it bad.
