Chapter 1
It was the night before sleep away summer camp for 10 year old Sofia Torres and her and her family is just finishing up dinner in Baltimore.
"Well Tim do you want to help me build a fire while we let the ladies clean up in here?"
"Sure thing, Dad!" He kisses his mother s cheek. "Dinner was great Mom."
"Glad you enjoyed it." Barbara smiles watching him follow Daniel.
Arizona smiles, "I'm glad he's done in the military forever."
"Me too sweetheart, me too."
"So, Sof, are you all packed and ready to go?"
"Yup, just need help zipping up my suitcase since I'll be gone for a whole eight weeks!" Arizona just pouts.
"Camp is going to be so exciting; you're going to be having such a blast you will forget that you even miss us!"
"Yeah, but I hope not I know I'm gonna miss my Mama a lot and Uncle Tim and you and Grandpa."
"Well hey, maybe you can ask Uncle Tim to help you zip your suitcase?"
"Okay!"
Arizona just rubs her prosthetic, "Owww!" She grumbles annoyed.
"What, what's wrong honey?"
"N nothing I've just got to take this thing off I've been on my feet all day and my leg is killing me!"
"Here let me help you honey."
"N No that's that's okay I can do it on my own."
Barbara pours Arizona some water, here Sof why don't you give Mama some water and then go give this tray of s'mores making stuff to Grandpa and Uncle Tim."
"Okay!"
"Okay."
Sofia gives the water to Arizona then takes the s'mores tray from Barbara.
"Thanks baby," Arizona smiles watching her.
Sofia takes the tray to bring to Daniel and Tim outside.
"You know you don't have to be embarrassed about your leg anymore I know it still makes you uncomfortable but "
"I just don't like taking it off in front of her when I am sweaty and gross and my leg looks gross with all the marks from the prosthetic!" Arizona tells her in pain.
"Sorry honey I was just trying to help you earlier."
"I know but I want to do this on my own; it's my leg, I'm a big girl."
"Okay honey."
"Okay well I'm going to go and sit in the living room." Arizona gets up and goes to the couch taking her prosthetic off and takes the sock off her leg and looks down at it feeling the cool air on it and tries to control her breathing and massages it herself.
