CHAPTER 1

As Callie walked through the door to the apartment, she threw her keys and purse onto a side-table, and walked towards the couch when she spotted her wife. "Hey there," Callie said softly to Arizona, as she leaned down to place a kiss on the top of her head. "How are my two favorite girls?" she asked, reaching her hand forward to tickle Sofia's tummy. The girl giggled and squealed, "Mama, mama, guess what?" Callie and Arizona both chuckled, and as Callie took a seat beside Arizona, she replied, "What, what, what?" Sofia bounded up onto their laps and pointed to her mouth, and presented her best cheesy smile. "See? I lost a toof while you were at work, mama. Mommy helped me wiggle it out and…and I put it under my pillow so dat the toof-fairy can come and give me a surprise!" Callie was beaming with pride, and Arizona could tell. The blonde spoke up, "She's right. I was so proud of her! She wasn't even scared or anything, actually she was super brave. Weren't you, big girl?" Sofia nodded and grinned her now-slightly-gapped smile. Callie smiled and kissed her daughter's cheek, "That's awesome, sweetie. I am so proud of you. Do you want us to put you to bed so that the tooth fairy can come faster?" she asked, secretly hoping to get some alone time with her wife. Sofia's eyes grew wide as she realized the possibilities, and nodded swiftly. The two women laughed and escorted their beautiful girl to bed, where she quickly fell asleep.

As Callie and Arizona closed the bedroom door behind them, and made their way back to the living room, Callie took Arizona's hand in hers and squeezed firmly but affectionately. "Thank you for handling that while I was gone. I really tried to get today off to spend with you two, but there was a gnarly case today. You wouldn't believe it really, this girl had, like six broken-" She was cut off abruptly by the blonde's lips against hers in a passionate kiss. Caught off guard, Callie's eyes first widened, then relaxed and eventually closed as the kiss grew deeper. The brunette placed her hand on the side of Arizona's face, caressing her gently as they finally broke off from the kiss. Arizona grinned, "You were saying?" Callie shook her head absentmindedly, "It's not…important…" she took a breath and kissed her wife again, slowly and with meaning. Arizona ran her hand down Callie's shoulder and arm, before whispering, "I missed you, today. In case you couldn't notice." Callie smiled and tilted her head, "Aww. I missed you too. You know you could have texted me or something, babe! I was busy, but not too busy for you." Arizona shrugged, "I figured the absence would make the heart grow fonder, ya know? That kinda thing." Callie smirked, "Ha…as if I could grow any fonder of you. Do you KNOW how amazing you are?" Arizona nodded, "I am aware of my status of awesome, yes." They both laughed and cuddled into each other, enjoying each other's company before the night required them to fall asleep.

The following morning, the alarm clock beeped on cue at 5 AM, causing the two women to groan and roll out of their close embrace. Arizona sat up on her elbows and looked at her pager, "Crap, I need to get going. Can you drop Sofia off at school today, babe? Or should I call Mark?" Callie rubbed her eyes slowly and nodded, "Yeah, sure, I can do it. When I drink some coffee and can operate a vehicle correctly." Arizona chuckled and kissed her wife's cheek, "Thanks babe. I'll see you at work later." She hopped up and was, somehow, already perky. Callie loved her wife, but 5 in the morning was a bit early to be so cheerful.

An hour later, Callie had caffeine running through her body, was freshly showered, and finally presentable to the public. She grabbed Sofia's backpack and called her name, "Come on munchkin, time for school." Her daughter ran out of her bedroom, and towards Callie, "Mama, did you SEE this?" She held up a 10-dollar bill to her mother, wide-eyed and full of awe. Callie clapped playfully, and gasped, "Oh my gosh! You totally scored! I mean, 10 whole bucks? Do you KNOW how much candy you can buy with 10 bucks? A lot, Sofia. A lot of candy." Sofia couldn't stop looking at the dollar bill in her hand, since it now held so much meaning for the future of her sugar overload.

After dropping Sofia off at school, Callie headed for the hospital. She had an 8 AM surgery scheduled for that chick with the six broken bones, and wasn't about to miss an opportunity like that. It turned out that the successful surgery was just what she needed, and got her pumped for the rest of the day.

At lunch, she saw Arizona sitting in the cafeteria at a table with Karev, and joined them. The two were talking about a Peds patient, and Alex sounded frustrated at best. Arizona was speaking, "Well, we'll order a CT scan and see where it goes from there, okay?" Alex nodded and took a big bite out of his hamburger, followed by a mouthful of french fries. Finally, the blonde turned to her wife and smiled, "Sorry babe! Tiny human talk. How's your day going?" Arizona asked, then sipped her drink through a straw. Callie set down her food and looked up with excited eyes, "Oh my god, babe. You wouldn't believe how awesome the surgery went! I am a freaking Ortho GOD. I am badass. And I am a God. I am a badass God." Callie's face turned smug, and she continued eating her lunch. Arizona grinned brightly at her wife, and rubbed her back affectionately, "That's so awesome Calliope, I'm glad your surgery went so well! And you're right, you're definitely the most badass Ortho surgeon around. This is why I married you." Alex just rolled his eyes at the mushy couple and stood up as he finished his food, "Robbins, I'll page you when the scans are in." Arizona nodded at Alex, and then Alex leaned towards her and spoke quietly so Callie wouldn't hear, "Dude, Peds is totally more hardcore and badass than Ortho." Arizona chuckled and nodded, and Callie narrowed her eyes at the two and then furrowed her brow, "Hey! No Team-Peds secret code right now. This is about me and my God-like surgery skills, remember?" Callie joked while munching on fries. Alex gave Callie a face, then stole a french fry of hers and left the room.

As Callie finished up her lunch, Arizona sat at the table, softly stroking her wife's knee under the table. Arizona finished her drink and set it down, and turned towards the brunette. "Calliope, considering your surgery went so well, I'd think that some congratulations are in order. Sexy congratulations. Don't you think?" Callie looked at the blonde's beautiful blue eyes, and raised her eyebrow, "Oh, I couldn't agree more, Dr. Robbins." Arizona giggled at the formality, it was kinda sexy when they played doctor with each other. "Well, Dr. Torres, considering I have an opening in my schedule for the next hour, I think that I might take a 'nap' in the on-call room not too far from here. So, if you have any 'questions,' please feel free to…come on over, and ask." Arizona stood up and winked, and walked off in the direction of said on-call room. Callie shook her head and laughed to herself, and waited a few minutes before getting up as well, throwing away her trash, and heading for the same room as the blonde-on-wheels.
