I don't own anything.

Review if you want, it generally makes me feel nice.

Calzona

Set after "All Again for You", Callie and Arizona are getting back into the swing of things.

Hello everyone! I got some really great reviews on my last Calzona fic. I had some free time this weekend and decided that I'd try writing a semi-sequel. It's set after "All Again for You", but I'm not sure where it'll go fro there.

Arizona POV

I stared at the piece of paper in my hand for a long minute before I got up from the couch and walked across the apartment, into the kitchen, where coffee had patiently waited for me. I poured a big mug before downing it, almost instantly. I hadn't realized how tired I had been these last few weeks. The shooting, the aftermath, visiting mine and Callie's parents; all of it had really taken a toll on me. I placed my mug in the sink and just stood there for a minute. I was slightly startled when I felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around me, but I quickly relaxed, knowing it was my Calliope.

"You're not ready yet?" she asked with concern.

"No, it's been difficult to get going this morning," I revealed.

She turned me around so that we were face-to-face. She swept some hair out of my eyes and noticed the frown on my face. She lifted my chin with one hand, taking my hand in her other. Looking into my eyes, she smiled, and then she kissed me.

"I know that it sucks," she said, "but if you miss your appointment with Dr. Perkins, you can't get cleared for surgery as quickly. Sitting around doing paperwork hasn't been very much fun for you."

"I know. I just…what if I don't want to some stranger about my life or my feelings? This should really be optional."

"Arizona," she said with slight disappointment in her voice, "they want to make sure we're alright."

"I'm alright, Calliope."

"I know that you think so, but after what happened, they want to take every precaution."

"I guess they figure that Gary Clarke thought that he was alright after his wife's death, right? Now they don't want to risk having a bunch of surgeons going crazy."

"That would probably put us a little further down than number 12."

I laughed, then said, "Calliope, can't you be serious for an entire conversation?"

"Sure," she responded, "this will be good for you, for all of us."

"You really think so?"

"Yeah, I do. And if you don't need his help, you'll only have to go a few times."

"That's true. I hope it doesn't feel like a waste of time though."

"It might be," she started, a smirk growing on her face.

"What?" I asked.

"If you get nothing else out of it…" her smirk still growing.

"What Calliope?"

"I heard that Dr. Perkins is REALLY cute!"

"Calliope!"

We laughed together for a while longer. She really did know just how to put me at ease. When the clock warned that I only had an hour left to get ready, I got up and headed for the bedroom. She reached out her arm and pulled me in for a minute.

"Arizona," she said, "I know you'll be just fine." She kissed me on the head.

"Calliope," I said, "no matter how cute this doctor is, I promise you'll be the only doctor on my mind," I teased.

"Oh? That's a relief. I was really worried that Andrew Perkins was going to steal your heart from me," she joked.

"That is one thing you'll never have to worry about," I said.

"You and guys? I wasn't really worried."

"Me and anyone but you."

We kissed again and I went to get ready. This was my only way back into the OR, so, like it or not, I had to bring out my best.

Whoot! Chapter one down!

Random fact: I take most of my titles from songs. Interesting? No? Ok, sorry, I'll stick to the story…
