Chapter 1: Waking Up
The dawn's morning sun filtered in through the closed bedroom curtains and Callie Torres rolled over in her bed. Groaning with realization that it was almost time for work, she reached over to the nightstand and shut off the alarm before it could startle her sleeping wife beside her. Turning back over, she brushed the blonde hair out of her face before leaning down and placing a gentle kiss to her forehead.
Arizona's face broke out into a smile as soon as she felt her wife's lips pressing against her forehead. Her piercing blue eyes fluttered open and they fell upon those chocolate orbs of Callie's. Her smile grew tenfold when she lifted her hand and cupped her face. Sharing a smile they both leaned into each other for a morning kiss. Their lips melded together and Callie moved her hand to the back of Arizona's neck to bring her closer. Tongues slipped out of mouths and began to taste the other. Moans were being swallowed and hands wandered beneath the silk bed sheets.
Arizona's hand was just beginning to trace Callie's pant line when a soft cry erupted from the baby monitor. Breaking their mouths apart, Callie smiled lovingly at Arizona and promised, "To be continued…"
"Can't wait," Arizona replied as she shucked the covers off of them and sat up. "You get the baby, I'll go make breakfast."
Agreeing, they got out of bed and went their separate ways. Creaking open the bedroom's door, Callie flicked on the light and smiled when she saw Sofia sitting up with her hands wrapped around the bars of her crib. The little girl's eyes lit up when the face of her mother came into view. Matching brown eyes reflected equal love and happiness upon seeing the other. "Good morning, baby," Callie said as she walked up to the crib and bent down to pick her daughter up.
The baby giggled and cooed as she was picked up into her mother's warm embrace. Placing a soft, gentle kiss on her daughter's head, Callie then proceeded to change and dress her. With Sofia ready for the day, they walked out of the bedroom and into the living room/kitchen area of their apartment where they saw Arizona pouring coffee. "Look who's here," Callie sing-sang as she walked up to her wife and shared another kiss before handing their daughter over.
Arizona held her daughter and gave Sofia her super magic smile as she said, "Good morning, baby girl."
Sitting down at the counter, they began to eat breakfast together. Just as they finished, Callie's phone beeped. Grabbing it, she clicked the screen and saw a text from Mark. She typed out a reply and hit send before getting up and clearing the dishes. "Mark had a rough night at the hospital and wants to see Sofia," she said as she moved to the coffee table to grab her purse, the keys, and the diaper bag.
Shouldering her bag, Arizona hoisted Sofia up on her hip and they began to walk out the door. "Wanna go see Daddy?" Arizona asked her carefree daughter. Her smile only grew when the girl giggled and buried her head into her shoulder.
Locking the door behind them, they headed out of the apartment and over to the hospital where an exhausted Mark was waiting to see his daughter and two women who lit up his life.
