Chapter 1
Callie was running late once again for a very early staff meeting that Ellis Grey had called the night before. When Callie walked into the conference room with her newborn daughter, Allegra, strapped to her chest in her carrier, with her husband, Owen, following closely behind, she goes to pull out her chair.
"I got it," Owen says.
"Thanks sweetie," Callie says and just smiles but doesn't sit down as she watches Arizona walk into the room.
"Morning, Dr. Torres," Arizona says with a smile.
"G Good Morning, Dr. Robbins," Callie responds nervously with a smile, gently rubbing Allegra's back.
"You brought the baby to the meeting this morning?" Arizona asks her.
"Yeah, well, I'm technically not really supposed to be here since I'm still on maternity leave, but Grey said that this is important so I came in," Callie tells her.
Arizona just smiles at her. "How have you been feeling?" Arizona asks.
"I m good, tired I guess," Callie tells her nodding.
"Awe," Arizona just says, looking at the child.
"W would you like to hold her? Callie asks a little nervously.
"Oh, no I " Arizona goes to say.
Callie smiles, "you can't do it wrong, and I'll be right here," she tells her and gently starts getting the sleeping baby out of the carrier.
Arizona just smiles, "she's cute," Arizona tells her seeing the now awake baby sucking on her pacifier. Callie smiles and gently hands her the baby. Arizona takes hold of the baby, looking down in her dark but piercing eyes.
"Wow, you're a natural," Callie tells her, smiling.
"M maybe it's because I work with babies all day every day," Arizona stutters. Callie just smiles watching her until the meeting starts.
