Chapter 2
Arizona spent the weekend unpacking boxes with the help of Teddy. On Saturday she received her furniture and could finally settle herself.
Sunday evening, Arizona and Teddy were sitting on the couch, each with the glass of wine when Teddy broke the silence.
"So, you're starting tomorrow. Are you exited?" she asked.
"Of course I am, but I'm also a little nervous. I don't want the fiasco from Baltimore to ever happen again".
"I know you were hurt but…"
"Hurt? I was humiliated! I loved her and trusted her! She told everyone at the hospital! You don't do that to someone you supposedly love!" Arizona cut her off getting angry.
"Arizona…" teddy tried again.
"No! Don't! Don't try to tell me it was nothing that it doesn't matter what people think, because you don't have to live with it for the rest of your life". Arizona was getting more frustrated and angrier with how this conversation was turning.
"I'm not, but you didn't have to flee and leave your life, your parents, and your niece just because your girlfriend let slip that you had…"
"Stop! I don't want to talk about it anymore. What's done is done. I'm starting fresh." Arizona finished.
"Okay" teddy sighed. "So have you met your neighbor yet?" she said changing the subject.
"Oh yeah" whispered Arizona remembering the first time she saw the beautiful Latina. She couldn't stop thinking about her and she didn't even talk to her or knew her name.
"Ooh what's her name?" asked teddy when she saw Arizona's face, she perfectly knew who Callie was she just wanted to make her friend talk.
"Umm I don't know, I just met her once and I didn't even talked to her"
"Is she hot?" teddy asked with a smirk.
"Teddy…" warned Arizona
"Oh come on! Look at your face, you're practically drooling! Tell me what is she like?"
"I don't know. Now get your feet off my coffee table and go home to your boyfriend. And thanks for today."
"What, that's it?" teddy said getting up with Arizona practically pushing her toward the door.
"Yes that's it, bye teddy, see you tomorrow" Arizona said closing the door so quickly Teddy didn't have the time to respond.
Teddy was waiting at the elevator when the Latina came out of it.
"Hey Callie"
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Asked Callie curious "I came to visit my best friend she just moved here, she's just across the hall from you" teddy replied.
"Oh, the blonde" Callie said hopping teddy would give her name.
Teddy knowing what she wanted left her hanging "yep this one, bye" and she left quickly.
Before closing her door Callie stared at the door across from her. Second later she was shaking her head snapping her from wherever she was and closed her door.
Monday morning Callie was coming back from the daycare after dropping Sofia there when she spotted Mark walking toward a grin eating all his face.
" hey Cal" he said "hey manwhore" she replied making his face fall "oh come on callie, you know I'm not this man anymore, I settle with a nice lady, remember?" Mark said his smile growing back.
"You'll always be 'manwhore' to me" she said bumping him with her hips.
"Anyway have you seen the new peds surgeon? She's hot! Like dirty hot!" Mark said wiggling his eyebrows.
"I thought you weren't a manwhore anymore?" Callie said with a raised eyebrow "I'm not, it doesn't mean I'm blind!" Mark replied when Callie's pager started making noise "ok manwhore got to go" and she left running.
She was running towards the ER when she bumped into someone. She grabbed them avoiding them to fall, when she saw who it was she was shocked. "Oh hey neighbor" Callie said with a smile.
Arizona smiled back and replied " hi Calliope"
"Are you the new peds... Wait how do you know my name?" She asked with a frown
"Your lab coat Calliope" she replied with a smirk "oh, ok, stop with the Calliope,
No one calls me that and live except my father"
"Oh but I like Calliope" Arizona said with a pout that melted Callie on the spot. "And do you have a name neighbor?"
Arizona laughed and extended her hand "Arizona Robbins, new heads of peds" Callie shook her hand "Callie Torres, ortho"
"Nice to meet you properly"
Callie was about to respond when her pager rang again "I'm sorry but a really have to go"
Callie said apologetically.
Hours later Callie finally came out of surgery, she was hungry so she started walking toward the cafeteria.
Sitting at a table Arizona was eating with teddy when she saw Callie coming in.
"I have a question for you teddy" Arizona started. "Shoot" came the reply from teddy.
"Why didn't tell me that you knew who Calliope was?"
Teddy froze for a moment then answered "who?"
"Don't play dumb with me, I know you know her, you have a surgery together this afternoon" teddy didn't say anything so Arizona continued "you were playing me yesterday, right? You wanted to see my face when I talked about her to see if I liked her" Arizona waited for teddy's reply but she didn't say anything instead she began waving her hand to someone behind Arizona who was confuse until she turned around and saw who it was.
"Oh no teddy don't you dare do that! I will ripe your heart out" teddy didn't said anything she just smiled and called for Callie to come sit with them. Arizona throw teddy a death glare, it's not that she didn't want Callie to sit with them it's just that she had trouble controlling herself and she couldn't allow herself to lose control.
Callie sat and they began doing small talk while eating until teddy excused herself saying she had some heart related stuff to do and leaving them alone, but before leaving she sent Arizona a wink.
Callie and Arizona talked and laughed. They were really surprised how easy it was to talk to one another. Suddenly they heard a baby crying and soon Callie realized that it was her daughter. She was in some intern arms who was looking for Callie. When the intern saw her she began running toward Callie who stand up to take her baby while Arizona watched confused.
"Hey baby. Shh Mama's here. What happened Edwards?" Callie asked the intern.
"The daycare worker said she has a fever and threw up twice, I think she has the flu"
Callie dismissed the intern and tried to soothe her daughter and make her stop crying, but she didn't stop. Then Arizona stoop up and told Callie to give her Sofia, Callie reluctantly gave her to Arizona.
"Hey baby girl" Arizona cooed "what's your name beautiful?" Callie answered her "Sofia, that's a beautiful name isn't it?" Arizona continued talking to Sofia and rocked her until her crying suddenly stop and realized she was in the arms of a stranger. With her big brown eyes she studied Arizona and touched her face with her chubby little hands.
"Hey, you have beautiful brown eyes just like your mama, yes that's right" Arizona played with the girl.
Callie was in awe watching this women she barely knew calm and play with her daughter plus the view was adorable.
Callie's pager startled them both. She groaned knowing she had to leave but she didn't know what to do with Sofia, she couldn't take her back to the daycare because she was sick. Arizona noticed Callie's dilemma so she told her to go and that she would take care of Sofia while she was busy.
"Are you sure? You don't have to, you probably have important stuff to do" Callie asked feeling guilty of leaving her sick daughter to someone else.
"Yes, don't worry I have nothing to do except for a little paperwork, first day remember? Come find us in my office when you are done" Arizona said with a smile showing her dimples.
"Okay, thank you Arizona I owe you one" and with that she left to save a life.
Hours later Callie was knocking on Arizona's office door, she received no response so she opened the door and what she saw was too cute for words. Arizona was laying on her couch sleeping with Sofia sleeping on her chest. Without thinking Callie snapped a picture with her phone. She went to grab Sofia to take her home. Arizona began to stir and tighten her grip on Sofia, when she was fully awake she saw that Callie was here. She began sitting up with Sofia still in her arms.
"Hey sorry, we fell asleep" Arizona said handing Sofia to her mother. "What time is it?" she then asked.
"Its 8 pm, I just finished my shift. What time does yours finish?" asked Callie
"Umm 2 hours ago" answered Arizona sheepishly.
"Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't want to keep you here"
Callie put Sofia in her stroller outside Arizona's office. They started walking down the corridor toward their locker room to change and go home.
"You don't have to apologize calliope, I proposed to keep Sofia and it was my pleasure she's an awesome baby and she reminds me of my niece when she was that age" said Arizona looking at Sofia sleeping face.
Moments later they were walking out of the elevator toward their apartment, the way home was spent in comfortable silence with both women too tired to talk.
Outside her apartment Callie didn't want her time with Arizona to end so she invited her to come inside and grab a drink which was accepted by Arizona. Callie went to put Sofia to bed while Arizona was watching pictures in Callie's living room, she noticed there was only pictures of Callie with Sofia and some with a man Arizona knew him as the head of plastic. Suddenly she felt a pang of jealousy in the pit of her stomach thinking this man was Sofia's father. Then she felt Callie's hot breath on her neck and her breath hitch.
"Its mark my best friend" Callie said.
Turning around she saw Callie holding two glasses of wine. She handed one to Arizona who took it and took a sip of it before asking.
"Is he Sofia's father?"
Then Callie began to laugh out loud surprising Arizona who wasn't expecting this kind of reaction. Arizona blushed thinking she had said something stupid. When Callie recovered she explained herself.
"Sorry, no he's not, and eww he's like my brother I would never think of him this way"
"Oh" was Arizona's reply.
They settle on the couch and they began talking about everything and anything like they did at lunch until Arizona asked a question that changed Callie's mood.
"What about Sofia's father?" when Arizona saw Callie's face fall she added "sorry you don't have to answer, I shouldn't have asked"
"no, no it's okay" callie said " she doesn't have one " she continued, when she saw the adorable frown on Arizona's face she added " I was inseminated with a sperm donor, me and my girlfriend at the time thought that we were ready to have a baby" callie finished.
"Oh I see, so where is your girlfriend then?" asked Arizona a little disappointed that Callie had a girlfriend. It's not like you could do anything if she was single Arizona thought remembering about it.
"That's a question I would like to have the answer" came Callie's short response.
Arizona was now confused again "what do you mean?"
"I mean that one day when I was 6 months pregnant with Sofia we had a fight at work about something stupid, and when I came home later Erica had left, all her stuff were gone." Callie finished a single tear rolling down her face, Erica didn't deserve her tears. She was over her, she and Sofia were better off her. With her thumb Arizona wiped Callie's tear and said "I'm sorry calliope this happened to you, Sofia is an awesomely cute baby and you are a beautiful kind hearted women, she didn't deserve any of you" what a bitch! Thought Arizona. Suddenly there faces were very close from each other. When Arizona felt Callie's breath on her face, she realize she was starting to lose control. When Callie leaned a little bit more Arizona suddenly stood up startling Callie, she needed to go or else there was no backing away.
"I'm sorry calliope I can't, I …I… I have to go" she quickly said and left a very confused Callie sitting on her couch. What the hell just happened? Thought Callie standing up to go prepare herself for bed. But before she checked on Sofia. She saw her baby sprawled on her belly, blanket thrown away she's right she doesn't deserve us. She thought remembering what Arizona told her minutes ago.
In her apartment Arizona was trying to regain her control. She didn't understand why she couldn't control herself when around Callie what is she doing to me. Damn we almost kissed, I don't want to know what would've happened if we'd actually kissed. Or maybe I want, I bet her lips are soft… no! Bad Arizona! You can't. After recomposing herself Arizona went to bed.
This night they both thought of each other and the kiss they almost shared before falling asleep.
