NOTE: This takes place right after the events of "Robbins" so you need to read that story first. I did have a few chapters up of this before, but that storyline didn't work for me, so if you read them, forget them, if you didn't, don't worry.
"Callie?" a sleepy voice questions to the dark.
A whimper is the only response the blonde gets. Arizona rolls over, turning on the light on the nightstand. The light gives a glow to the room. Blue eyes blink a few time to refocus on the sleeping woman beside her. It takes Arizona less than a minute to realize what is happening in her girlfriends brain.
Arizona waits to see if she will need to awaken Callie. Within minutes, it is evident that Callie's dream is getting worse, her body is starting the move, fighting off unseen forces.
"I've got you," Arizona says, using her body to try to calm Callie down.
Callie fights against the blonde.
"Calliope, it's me," Arizona whispers.
As if by magic, all fight leaves the body under her.
"I've got you baby," Arizona mumbles, moving to spoon her lover.
Although there is plenty time to go back to sleep, it seems to be fight Arizona. Her mind will not stop thinking about what might happen if she goes to sleep and Callie gets another bad dream. What if she sleeps through it? What then?
So when the alarm goes off, Arizona quickly silences it. Getting up and taking a quick, hot shower to help Arizona hide the fact she's been awake for hours. She nudges the sleeping beauty to wake her up.
"I don't wanna," Callie pouts, throwing the pillow over her head.
Arizona can't help laughing at her girlfriend.
"What are you laughing at?" Callie questions, peaking out from under the pillow.
"You're so big and badass to everyone else, but you're just a big baby who hates to get out of bed."
"I am not a baby! Take that back!" Callie demands.
Arizona smirks, "or what?"
"I'll take you out!" Callie threatens, rolling out of bed and standing taller over the blonde.
"You. Wouldn't. Dare." Arizona states, her gaze unwavering.
Callie bites her bottom lip, then takes a step back, admitting defeat.
"Yay! I won!" Arizona cheers, "Now, go take a shower."
"Bossy," Callie grumbles, going to the bathroom to take a hot, hot shower.
"Mija!"
"Daddy!" Callie all but runs into the arms of an older gentleman in a suit.
Arizona watches for a minute while the two embrace. When the two break apart, both set their gaze on the blonde. Forcing a smile Arizona brings out her bubbly persona.
"Mr. Torres, it's such a pleasure to finally meet you," she says, holding out her hand.
"The pleasure is all mine, Miss Robbins," Carlos says, taking the delicate hand and bringing it to his lips.
"Dad, she's mine okay?" Callie jokes.
Carlos chuckles, releasing the pale hand.
"I'm sure she's out of my league Mija. Plus your mother is the only one for me," he says with a kind smile.
"Is she here?" Callie questions.
Both notice the fall in his face; Callie's heart falls too.
"Even with all that's happened? She doesn't want me?" Callie questions, her voice giving away how on edge she is.
"Mija, she loves you. You know that, she just doesn't-"
"Love me enough," Callie cuts him off, shaking her head.
"Calliope," he sighs.
"No." she shakes her head, "It's okay. She doesn't care."
Arizona takes this time to grab a tanned hand, giving it a light squeeze.
"I'm sorry Mija, I've tried everything."
Callie takes a deep breath, using the back of her free hand to wipe away a few tears. Arizona isn't okay with this though; she steps in front of the taller woman, blocking her father out. Letting go of her hand, Arizona wipes away the tears.
"It's okay baby. We don't have to do anything today. We can go back to bed if you wanna. You're dad will understand. We'll do whatever you want to honey, okay? We don't have to do anything, got me?" she whispers.
Callie nods, softly connecting their lips before Arizona steps back to her side.
"It's okay Daddy. You're here, so lets make the best of that," Callie says, her hand finding the blonde's once again.
"Are you sure Mija? I can stay as long as you need me to," he questions.
"Yeah," she forces a smile, "I'm okay, let's go see what you have planed for us."
"Um, why are we at an apartment building?" Callie questions, looking up at the complex.
"I'm sorry, I need to take care of a few errands along the way. This is one of the buildings I own here," he says, opening the door for them.
"You've gotta be kidding," Arizona says with a smile as they walk in.
"No, I am not kidding. It seems like I have an open two bedroom apartment. It was rented by the same person for almost three years when she just disappeared. I heard that she's back in town and I want to make sure she gets her home back," he says, going behind the desk and grabbing a set of keys for 502.
"You're giving me my apartment back?" Arizona asks, her eyes wide in shock.
"Yes I am," Carlos says, handing the keys to Arizona.
"You're awesome," Arizona says, flabbergasted.
"Daddy, we're going to pay rent, right?" Callie questions, raising an eyebrow at her farther.
"If you must, you may," he says, knowing better than to force something onto his daughter, "now onto the next place. I'm getting you a job too."
"You can't get us everything Mr. Torres. The apartment is more than enough for now," Arizona argues.
"Don't even bother. I bet he already has contracts for us at whatever hospital he likes best around here," Callie says.
"I picked the hospital I thought you would like the best. Arizona was working there before and Sloan is working there now. Plus it's down the street," he defends.
Arizona's eyes budge once again, "you got us jobs at Seattle Grace Mercy West?"
"No! I can't get you two jobs. I just set up the interview and have a contract worked out with Webber. You still have to get the job yourself."
"Typical Dad," Callie chuckles.
"So are you two ready? Don't worry about getting dressed up. Webber isn't expecting anything too professional," Carlos says.
"Yeah, lets go," Callie shrugs, letting Arizona lead the way.
"Arizona Robbins!" a voice yells from down the hall, stopping Arizona in her tracks.
"Arizona, that better be Callie holding your hand or I will beat you!" the voice yells.
"Is that?" Callie whispers.
"Addison," Arizona nods.
They turn around to face the woman. They are both pulled into a hug by the redhead.
"It's been forever guys," she says, pulling away to look at them.
"Nice to see you're doing well Mrs. Shepard," Carlos says from the side.
"Hello Mr. Torres, and it's just Montgomery now," she informs the man.
"I missed you Addie," Callie says with a real smile.
"Awh, I missed you too. I didn't believe it when little goodie two shoes Arizona here told me she was going out with you."
"Yeah," Callie chuckles, "she doesn't know about most of my adventures."
"Of course I do! You're a Torres, Calliope. I knew about you before I even knew you."
"Oh yeah, I forgot," Callie chuckles.
"Well girls, is there anything else you need from me? I have some errands I need to take care of," Carlos questions.
"I've got a C in twenty, so need to go get scrubbed anyways. See you soon. Let me or Teddy know when you guys wanna hang out."
With that the redhead is gone as fast as she appeared.
"No Daddy, I think we have everything under control," Callie answers her father.
"We can go get moved in," Arizona suggests.
"That reminds me, all your things were moved into your place already. I hope everything is where you want it. I got Miss Altman to help me put everything back where it was."
"Wow, you think of everything Mr. Torres," Arizona says.
"He doesn't, his assistants do," Callie mumbles.
"Mija, it's their job to think about the little things. You know how forgetful I am," he defends.
"Yeah. You called Aria 'Mija' for almost a year before you remembered her name," Callie chuckles.
"She was rarely with us for those months, her father is a devil of a man. Anyways, I must go take care of some things. I'll call you in the morning to talk more, okay?"
"Sounds great Daddy," Callie says, giving him a hug.
"I love you Mija. I'm so happy you're safe," he says, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Love you to Daddy," she says, stepping back.
"Thank you Miss Robbins, I owe my happiness to you," he offers a hand.
"I owe mine to you. Thank you for raising such a magical woman," she firmly shakes the offered hand.
Callie and Arizona watch him walk away. Arizona then takes Callie around the hospital, showing her the basics of building.
"Let's go home baby," Arizona whispers.
"But they're so cute," Callie sighs, looking at the tiny babies.
"I don't know about you, but I'm ready to see how my apartment is."
"Yeah, I guess I am kinda excited," Callie admits.
"Then let's go."
Hands intertwined, Callie and Arizona walk the few blocks to their new apartment.
"So what floor are we?" Callie questions.
"Blondie! Torres! Are you guys here to see me?" Mark questions, walking in behind them.
"Mark! Hey," Callie smiles, throwing her arms around him in a hug.
"It's so good to have you here Torres," he mumbles, pulling out of the hug.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but we aren't here for you. I got my apartment back already," Arizona states.
"What? I saw a bunch of people in there last night. They were moving in a bunch of stuff," Mark says, confused.
"My dad can pull off some magical things Mark, remember?" Callie chuckles at the memory she's referring too.
"Yeah, he can. Well let's head up there then," Mark pushes the button for the elevator.
"I'll see you tomorrow Sloan," Arizona says when they get to their floor.
"Yes you will Blondie. I'll be over nice and early for breakfast," he winks.
"I'll make sure I lock the door," she tilts her head and smiles.
"You go ahead," he chuckles, going into his apartment.
"You guys are so cute," Callie chuckles.
"Glad you think so," Arizona mumbles, unlocking the apartment door.
"You ready to see what my father did?"
"Ready as I'll ever be," Arizona answers, opening the door.
The sight before them makes gasps fly off their lips. Neither one of them expected this.
