Good News

Callie Torres and Arizona Robbins walked hand in hand into Seattle Grace Hospital. They had begun to walk hand in hand about eight months ago so the fact that they were doing it now was nothing new. What was new was the information that they were looking forward to sharing with their friends. They had gotten to the hospital really early so they could catch the people they wanted to tell first and the firs person they saw was Callie's ex sex friend Mark Sloan. Callie and Mark were still close friends, but they were friends with better boundaries than they had had in the past. Callie didn't want to tell him first. She wanted to let their Chief of Surgery know before anyone else just in case they needed time off soon.

Neither of them had any surgeries until the afternoon so they figured that now was the time to let their chief know what was going on. Callie and the chief were talking once again but Callie knew that she wouldn't be forgiving Richard Webber anytime soon for not giving her the head of Ortho job six months ago when she had applied for it. Arizona knew that her girlfriend had been crushed when she hadn't gotten the job that she had applied for, but Arizona did her best to cheer her girlfriend up with red wine and chocolate dipped strawberries.

Arizona knocked on the Chief's door when they got to his office and they waited for a response. Once they heard a muffled" Come in." Arizona and Callie walked into his office. Since Richard had refused to give up his position at the hospital he had been working doubly hard to bring up their rating. Of course that took a strain in his marriage and it was once again on the rocks. Richard looked up at them when he heard the door open. His face registered a bit of surprise and confusion as to why his head of Pediatric Surgery and the most talented Orthopedic resident that he had, entered his office. He knew that they were dating. In fact other than Mark, Chief Webber was the first one that had known about them.

Arizona and Callie stood in front of his desk, holding hands and exchanging glances. Neither was sure who would speak first. In fact this was so new that they were both wondering if they were going to wake up and find that it was a cruel dream and that they were still being discriminated against because of their "lifestyle." Arizona looked at Callie, who gave her a small nod, telling her that it was okay if she told the Chief what was going on "We have found an adoption agency that is not only open minded, but who also does international adoptions." Arizona informed their boss, her lips widening into her megawatt smile and whose crystal blue eyes were sparkling with excitement. Richard Webber was speechless. He had no idea that they were even trying to adopt a child. He felt like he was losing his touch a little bit. He normally knew all the goings on of the hospital. This was the first time in awhile that he had had no idea what was going on. He stood up and smiled and said "Congratulations Dr Torres, Dr Robbins." Richard was genuinely happy for the pair of them. It seemed as though everyone's love life was working out, except for his own.

It was Callie's turn to speak. She was finally able to look at him without feeling as though he had taken a job that was rightfully hers, away from her. She smiled at Arizona and said "We may need some time off to go get the child and to get her acclimated here. We have our first meeting with our adoption caseworker tomorrow and she will be the one to approve or deny our application to adopt an international child." Richard looked at both women before him and he nodded .He wasn't about to deny them that request. Neither Arizona nor Callie had ever missed more than a day of work "I am sure we can work something out." Richard assured both women. Arizona shot Callie an "I told you so " look. Callie shook her head with an amused grin on her face. Arizona spoke again "Thank you Sir." Callie nodded her thanks, but she felt the need to echo Arizona's words completely unnecessary.

They left Richard's office feeling so much better now that their boss knew what was going on. Now when they had to leave to go to some far off place, their boss wouldn't complain because he would already know what was going on and why they were leaving and where they were going. Callie looked at Arizona and asked "Do you mind if I tell Mark what's going on?" Arizona looked puzzled as if she couldn't figure out why Callie was asking her permission to tell her best guy friend what was going on. Arizona shook her head and replied "No I don't mind. I was going to tell Dr. Bailey anyway." Callie sighed a sigh of relief that Arizona didn't mind if she told Mark. She was surprised that Arizona was going to tell Bailey first. Callie wasn't under the impression that they were particularly close. Arizona smiled at her girlfriend and brushed a piece of black hair out of Callie's lipstick "So we'll meet for lunch?" Arizona asked in that perky eager voice that Callie had grown to love even in her worst days. Callie nodded and commented "Don't be surprised if Mark tags along and I am strong-armed to include his girlfriend." Arizona laughed, knowing that Callie was really happy that her friend was settling down and appeared to be serious about someone" Okay babe. I won't hold it against you." Arizona assured her girlfriend with a wink.

Once they had parted, Callie went off in search of her best guy friend and hoped that she wouldn't walk in on him and Lexie. As good of a mood as Callie was in right now she did not need to see Mark and Lexie in bed together. She was in full support of them as a couple, but as Miranda Bailey had said before, this was a hospital and not a brothel. She walked into the break room and she sighed a huge sigh of relief when she saw Mark in the room alone with his cup of bone dry cappuccino. Callie walked over to him with the biggest smile on her face. Mark looked up from his coffee and said "That better not be the 'I just had sex with my hot peds chick face' Because I don't need that right now." Callie looked at Mark confusedly and asked "You and Lexie have a fight?" Mark scowled and muttered "Yeah she doesn't get why I am not ready to marry her yet." Callie understood why Lexie was in a rush to get married. She loved Mark and everyone could see that Mark felt the same way about her. "Just propose to her and tell her you want a long engagement," Mark nodded slowly, his mind more wondering why Callie looked about ready to burst with big news "What's with you Cal?" Mark asked. It was his turn to be confused. Callie was relieved that Mark finally noticed the look on her face "Ari and I finally got an adoption agency willing to work with us." Mark knew that Arizona and Callie had sent applications to several different agencies but were repeatedly turned down because of their sexual orientation. So this news was great to hear. He was so happy for them. Mark knew that they would make amazing moms. Now Mark was grinning too "So I finally get to be uncle Mark huh? "Mark teased. Callie playfully punched him in the shoulder and said "You'll be the uncle who tells them everything Ari and I don't want them to know about." Mark nodded, knowing that it was probably true. Derek and Meredith were surprisingly still childless which was the reason that Mark was not an uncle yet. Mark was really excited for Callie and Arizona. Mark knew how much they had been wanting to start a family in the recent months.

While Callie was talking to Mark, Arizona managed to track Miranda down in one of the on call rooms. Miranda was not easy to wake up and Arizona almost had second thoughts about waking her and telling her the big news right now. Finally Arizona's excitement overrode anything else and she shook her fellow attending. Miranda mumbled "The patient better be dying." Arizona laughed softly and that seemed to wake Miranda up. She blinked a few times before her chocolate brown eyes settled on Arizona. She sat up, rubbing her eyes and asked "Yes, was there a reason for waking me up?" Arizona grinned and said "Calliope and I got an adoption agency to work with us." Even Miranda had to smile at that. She knew how hard they had tried to just get on someone's list for a child. Trying to make it easier, Callie and Arizona had even said they would take an older child, but they continued to get rejected in favor of "traditional families" Miranda was thrilled for them, just like Arizona knew she would be "Congratulations Dr. Robbins. I will be sure to tell Dr. Torres the same." Miranda finally told Arizona, smiling, all thoughts of sleep forgotten. Arizona smiled and said "Thank you Dr. Bailey. Your congratulations means a lot to both of us." Arizona told her. Just then her pager went off and Arizona ran off without another word.

Several hours later, Callie slide into a cafeteria seat with Arizona opposite her. Mark had been pulled into an emergency surgery so he would not be joining them for lunch and that meant Lexie would not be joining them either. Callie and Arizona had a lot to do before their meeting tomorrow. Now that they knew that they would be getting a child soon, they knew that they had to buy a house. Neither of them wanted to raise their child in an apartment. Callie and Arizona spent their entire lunch hour talking about the meeting and the kinds of questions that they would be asked. They really couldn't wait to get this process going. Annoyingly their pagers went off at the same time and they barely had enough time for a quick kiss and whispered "I love you's." before they had to run off to answer their pagers. Tomorrow was an exciting day and neither of them could wait to see what it would bring.
