Story: Arizona and Callie's daughter has just turned 16, she is becoming rebellious and hard work for the couple, alongside putting a strain on their relationship.
Bronte Robbins-Torres, tied back her brunette long hair into a pony tail, put on an overzied jumper and went to join her moms and sister for breakfast.
"Morning Sweetie" Arizona cheerfully said as Bronte walked through.
Bronte looked much more like Arizona, with the eyes, smile and facial structure, whereas having Callie's long brunette hair, along with a similar personality.
Bronte ignored her Mom and sat down quietly, she really was not in the mood for conversation this morning, especially after sneaking out last night and only getting home at 4:30am. Bronte took advantage of her parents jobs as they worked night shift, so Sofia was in charge, but being the daughter of two clever surgeons, worked extremely well for Bronte as she was also clever but in a much more sneaky way. Being able to sneak out once Sofia fell asleep and ensuring she was back home before the time her sister wakes up at. Bronte had not got to grasps with the hangovers yet, she did not know how to handle them one bit. Bronte fell straight asleep once she got in earlier in the morning. Sofia looked up from her breakfast as Bronte walked through, giving her once glance she knew what she had been up to, after looking at her sister and wondering why there was dry lipstick smeared all around her mouth and black eye make-up under her eyes, Sofia did not hesitate to laugh and mention it.
"Hey Mom, look at Bronte's face" Sofia smirked waiting for her mom's reaction as Arizona had always been the more strict one over Callie, and she did not let the girls get away with anything as she believed that it would let them think they could do what they want and think that it is okay.
"Sofia, what are you on abou-" Arizona glanced up from the cooker, where she was making pancakes and as she looked around she seen Bronte stumble over, once she got up from her seat and tried to make an escape to her bedroom before her mom sussed what she had been up to.
"Are you drunk?!" Arizona raised her voice slightly, but not too loud as it would wake up Callie.
As Bronte slowly got up with the help of holding onto the side of the kitchen counter, Arizona walked over and smelt her breath.
"You stink of Alcohol Bronte! Where have you been?! And underage drinking! You are in so much trouble I do not even know where to start, wait until your Mami finds out! You know how we feel about Alcohol at your age Bronte, you are 16, not 21. I am appalled you have even got yourself into such a state! Get upstairs right now, take that crap off of your face, get a shower, and get dressed, I am personally driving you to school!" At this point Arizona was shouting in rage at her 16 year old Daughter and Callie walked through to see Bronte with tears forming in her eyes, trying not to cry and let them go.
"Woah, what's wrong baby?" Callie looked at Bronte and then Arizona.
Arizona gave a stern look, directing her to tell Callie what she had done. Bronte looked around the room and glared at Sofia for raising the issue in the first place.
"I snuck out to go to this senior's house party. I waited until Sofia was asleep and then came home before you and Mami got home from work…And yes I drank…Quite a lot actually…" Bronte lifted her head up after telling them what happened, trying to hold back the motion of nausea which just came across her and looked at them both.
Arizona looked at Callie and then Callie looked at Bronte.
"You are grounded for 2 weeks, I am taking your phone off you and you will not leave this house unless it is to go to school or to meet mom and me at the hospital for whatever reason. How dare you go behind our backs and take advantage of the fact we work night shifts. Do you know what Alcohol does to your body Bronte? Especially at this age! Sofia never did anything like this! She has a sensible group of friends, and you know what they do Bronte? They study and then have fun after! I have not seen you pick up one study book for your exams yet! Do you not care about your future at all?!" Callie shouted at Bronte, leaving Bronte in shock as she hadn't heard her mami shout for a long time at her.
Bronte looked at her mami, all she wanted to do was have a little bit of fun, "I went last night to a party, and it's not as if I have ended up in hospital or took drugs or something! I went out and had a bit of fun with my friends at a party, it's not a big deal! You need to just chill and let me have a life! I bet you went to lodes of parties when you were my age and drank lodes! Just because I am the youngest here, doesn't mean you can compare me to Sofia!" Bronte screamed back at her Moms and stormed upstairs.
"Just so you know, you will NOT be sneaking out anymore because I am going to be switching to day shifts!" And at that Arizona heard Bronte's door slam shut.
"So she snuck out? April asked while sat with Arizona and Amelia at lunch.
Arizona finished what she was eating and looked at them both, "You don't think my punishment is harsh do you? I mean I don't know what to do? I mean what if she got hurt or something, she is only 16. I don't mind her going out or to house parties but Callie and I agreed her curfew is 11:30" Arizona sighed.
"You should have seen me when I was a teenager" Amelia laughed slightly. "Hurricane Amelia they called me..." Amelia took a sip of her drink, "don't worry I have been there, the punishments work… Look at me now, I am a fricken neurosurgeon" Amelia laughed and flicked her hair in a sassy way.
The three women laughed for a while and joked about almost everything until Arizona got a phone call from the school.
"What's wrong?" April asked Arizona.
She rolled her eyes in frustration, "Bronte's Principal just called, she's been involved in a fight with another girl, apparently she provoked the fight." Arizona picked up her bag and put her jacket on. "Just what I bloody need right now. I have a surgery in 10 minutes and they are demanding she gets picked up, and Callie is in surgery!" Arizona stated in anger and annoyance due to her Daughters behaviour.
April looked at Arizona and could tell she needed a break from it all. "I'll go, don't worry, I will pick her up and take her back to mine, Jackson is already at home, you can come and get her whenever you are ready", April smiled at Arizona and gave her a sympathised hug.
April strode down the corridor of Seattle Grace High School and reached the Principals office. After speaking to the Principal, she went to meet Bronte who was waiting in a detention room for her.
"Hey" April said softly to Bronte and looked at the 16 year old, who was obviously upset and irritated by what had happened. "Come on" April put her arm around Bronte and led her out.
Once they were in the car, April looked at Bronte who was just staring out of the window, obviously lost within herself at the moment.
"Are you going to tell me what happened? I am not judging one bit…" April said sensitively to Bronte and Bronte turned to her with tears in her eyes.
"I only had a fight with her because she was insulting me and she slept with my boyfriend at the party I was at last night. I didn't even know, I got told today. She found it funny; she didn't even care how it would hurt me…" Bronte shuck her head slightly and wiped her eyes.
April looked at her and gave her a gentle hug. April had a soft spot for Bronte and Bronte usually referred to her as Aunt April even though she is her godmother. She would usually tell April a lot of things that she wouldn't usually tell her Mom's but nothing too bad or April would have to tell Arizona or Callie.
"I didn't know you had a boyfriend Bronts…" April looked at her. "Look…Obviously he is not worth it and neither is she. Bronte you are a beautiful girl and you clearly take after your Moms and you know what? They are strong and so are you. Be strong. That is what you are, I don't want you to be upset or get yourself down about this because you will have many break ups and be hurt many of times before you find the one." April pep talked Bronte and Bronte smiled back.
"Thanks April" She smiled at her god mum and for the rest of the day she slowly calmed down and began to feel a little better.
Arizona picked Bronte up from Aprils a little later on. April had filled her in about what had happened and Arizona understood why Bronte reacted the ways she did as she was hurt but fighting about it was no excuse.
"I don't know what has gotten into you recently Bronts but I don't like it sweetie." Arizona gave a saddening look to her Daughter. "I understand why you are upset, I honestly do, from the bottom of my heart, but fighting is not the option. You never said you had a boyfriend? You can tell me anything Bronte, I don't want you to think that you can't. I love you so much; I just want you to be safe, that is why I was so angry this morning, as well as your Mami" Arizona sat beside Bronte on the round and gave her a hug.
"I am sorry Mom; I just wanted to have fun with my friend that is all. I won't do it again…" Bronte smiled slightly at her mom.
Arizona looked at Bronte quite seriously at this point. "Have you been careful…with this boyfriend you had? You know…Protection? It is importan-" Bronte cut Arizona off…
"Gosh Mom, I am not having this talk with you…That's why the school hire a nurse…", Bronte blushed at this point, she could feel her cheeks burning. She always dreaded this talk.
"Bronte I want to know that you are safe and it does not lead to a mistake you may not be able to do anything about!"
Bronte got up and ran upstairs. She was so embarrassed; she just could not stay in the room.
Callie came home later on.
"Hey babe" Callie shouted as she walked through and into the living room. She saw her Wife sat with a large glass of red wine and smirked. "Tough day?" Callie asked and Arizona looked at her.
"Bronte got into a fight with some girl today." Arizona looked at Callie. "You can deal with her now, I'm sick of arguing with her. I've had a tough day". Arizona shuck her head and wiped her eyes. Callie sat by Arizona and wrapped her in her arms.
"I love you Arizona" She kissed her head and stroked her arm, reassuring her.
Upstairs, Bronte locked herself in the bathroom and stared at the stick waiting for the result.
The results came through…
At 6pm on Thursday night, Bronte Robbins-Torres found out she was pregnant.
Okay, so I don't know how I felt about that, but I hope you've enjoyed it and let me know if you would like me to carry on!
Thanks x
