Arizona walked up the stairs to Callie's apartment. It had been a long day; one of her patients died under her scalpel on his birthday, she had picked a fight with her girlfriend to make herself feel better, and she started crying during her surprise birthday party.

When she reached the door she unlocked it quietly and tip-toed across the living room, only to find her lover fast asleep on the couch. The sight of the Latina beauty, dressed in black lacy lingerie, her dark hair cascading over the pillow, caused a small smile to creep across Arizona's face.

Arizona tried not to disrupt Calliope's peaceful slumber, but the clanking of the keys against the end table did just that. Callie's eyes slowly opened.

"Oh," she said groggily, quickly turning to peppy, "I'm awake! I'm, I'm, I'm, see? I'm totally awake! There's hats and gifts and, and, donuts and lingerie." She said mischievously, while placing a red party hat on her head, hastily followed by an attempt to blow into the traditional birthday, paper horns.

The laughing smile turned into a face of seriousness. Arizona watched her girlfriend frantically try to redeem herself.

"I love you," slipped from the blonde's lips. The three words stopped all of Callie's movements, her eyes immediately glossed with tears. Her apologetic smile slowly slipped away as her arms began to fall to her sides. She never let her stare leave Arizona's deep blue eyes.

"You do?"

Arizona nodded, whispering "I do."

Callie was silent. The couple continued to stare at each other, waiting for what was bound to come. It was just up to Callie to regain the ability to speak.

She stood up and walked over to the blonde, enveloping her in a hug. Arizona rested her head in the crook of Callie's neck, as the Latina ran her fingers through Arizona's hair.

"I love you too," she whispered.

Arizona smiled as she held onto her lover. Hearing those words from someone who actually meant it was more than she wanted for her birthday.

The two stood in their position for a while, swaying to a silent melody. Callie continued to run her fingers through Arizona's hair; she could feel the blonde's eyes closing as Arizona's eyelashes brushed against her neck.

"I love you," Callie repeated, this time with a smile, "I love you."

Arizona laughed, picking up her head to look Callie in the face. She leaned in to catch Callie's lips with her own. Callie returned the gesture by deepening the kiss just before pulling away with a smile that mirrored Arizona's.

In response, Arizona pulled herself closer to Callie, eliminating all space in between them. She moved her lips about an inch from Callie's, teasing her a little bit before closing the gap. Callie parted her lips, allowing Arizona's tongue to slip into her mouth.

Their tongues dueled for dominance while Callie gently pushed off Arizona's jacket, throwing it onto the couch. Arizona maneuvered them towards Callie's bedroom, pressing her body against Callie's, and Callie's against the closed door. A small moan escaped from the Latina. She reached down to open the door, allowing the couple to move into the new room before Christina walked in on them.

The door was shut quietly, the two never breaking apart for a moment. The couple took turns removing pieces of clothing from each other, throwing them everywhere and anywhere in the small bedroom. Arizona sat down on the bed, pulling Callie with her, but quickly flipped her over so that she was on top. The make-out session continued, their hands roaming over the naked skin, the soft touch of their finger tips making each instant more and more passionate.

Callie took control, turning over so she was on top. She broke away for a moment to look into Arizona's eyes. The girls were panting; sweat was beginning to glisten on their bodies. The sight of the blonde under her took Cal's breath away.

"You're great," she paused, thinking about the words of encouragement she was supposed to give earlier that day, "Like, really, really, great."

Arizona smiled, placing a hand on Calliope's cheek. She gently guided Cal's face closer so Arizona could capture her lips once more.
