A/N: So I decided to add to this story. I have no idea where I am going with it maybe it will be okay, or maybe it will suck if it does I'm sorry. Here is Chapter 2 Arizona will stand up for her family and Lucia will be left with a decision to make.


Because of You

"I will not make the same mistakes that you did

I will not let myself cause myself so much misery."

"Hey," Arizona said cupping her hands around her wife's face, "Do you want me to tell her to leave?" Arizona asked not completely sure what to do, "Do you want me to tell her I don't want her here, because I will, I will tell her that she needs to stay somewhere else, because I can't have you like this. I love you and I can't stand to see you like this so tell me what do I need to do to fix it?" Arizona asked because seeing her wife broken was breaking her she didn't want Callie this upset especially not in her home.

"No, I just…" Callie tried to explain, "I just… I don't know it's just so hard for me to be around her. I know she doesn't approve or whatever but I wish she could just get over that, and I realize what that's asking she has her beliefs and I respect that I was raised in the church I know where it comes from I just, I'm her daughter and Sofia is her granddaughter and she can't love us why because I love you, how is that fair how is that okay?" Callie was now up and pacing the room. Arizona knew she was just seconds away from ranting in Spanish a surefire way to know her wife was pissed off. "Because I truly believe God made me for you Arizona you are my perfect match so how can he have made me for you and my mom hate me because of it?" Callie was now standing in front of Arizona looking directly into her eyes she didn't understand why her mother couldn't see how perfect the woman in front of her was, how much love they had for each other and how happy they both made each other.

Arizona stood up and kissed Callie it was soft and slow it was a declaration of all the love she had for her; it was a promise of devotion and strength. "How about this lets just focus on Sofia okay because I don't need you mother to like me or be okay with me but Sofia will need that, she needs her Abuela to love her." Arizona said she really could care less if Callie's mother was in her life but she knew her wife and daughter needed Lucia her little girl was so happy to have her Abuela visit she didn't want to have to take that away from her, although she knew she would if Lucia did anything to harm Sofia or if Callie decided she didn't want her mother there. "Okay, you stay here get cleaned up I'll go get them and you come out when your ready, we can go out to eat tonight." Arizona said with another kiss and left the comfort of their bedroom in search of their daughter and her grandparents.

She found them still in the backyard Sofia was showing the chickens to Carlos. "Hey Sof let's go inside now, let's get you ready to go to dinner." Arizona said as she entered the backyard. She directed her attention to Carlos and Lucia, "We were thinking we could go out tonight if that's okay?" She asked.

"Oh yes that would be nice," Carlos responded, "How long are we thinking?"

"I made reservations for seven, nothing too fancy or anything but I figured it would be nice to all go out and have a family dinner." Lucia visibly scoffed Arizona ignored it and continued speaking, "that Callie didn't have to cook." Arizona said she didn't want her wife to have to worry about cooking tonight she already knew how stressed she was.

"Okay well we will be ready." Carlos smiled and stared walking toward the house.

Once in their room Lucia spoke, "Are we really going to go out to eat like a, 'family', Carols?" She asked

"Yes we are because we are a family, this is our family, and I'm not going to fight with you about it if you don't want to go then don't but I am going to go spend time with my daughter and her family it's why I am here we both know that we don't know how much more time I have to do this." He responded trying not to raise his voice, he felt a little bad playing the cancer card but it was also true he was not about to waste time he could be spending with his granddaughter because his wife was stubborn.

"I'll go." She conceded.


They all arrived at restraint it was a nice French place but casual enough that it was okay to bring a four-year-old, although Sofia was always extremely well-behaved at restraints so it wasn't a huge concern.

"How many?" The hostess asked.

"We have a reservation Robbins-Torres." Arizona answered.

"Okay I'll take you to your table Mrs. Robbins-Torres." The woman responded.

They all followed the woman to a table in the back it was in a private room.

"Your waiter will be here shortly would you like some wine to start?"

"Yes, please a bottle of red and a white for the table," Arizona looked to Callie to confirm, "and an apple juice for my daughter." She finished the woman left.

Carlos moved to fill the slightly awkward silence.

"Did you change your name Arizona?" He asked, he thought they decided not to but now was not sure.

"No," Callie answered for her wife who was trying to get Sofia settled, " We didn't change our names I thought about putting a hyphen in my name."

"But Sofia's last name is Torres so we decided against it and thought maybe I would but we just haven't gotten around to it and honestly it's easier not to with us working at the hospital and all, it's easier to say, 'page Robbins,' then, 'page Robbins-Torres' its less confusing this way." Arizona finished smiling at Callie.

The waiter arrived just then, "Hi, here is your wine," he said placing the bottles on the table as well as glasses, "and here is the juice," he said handing it to Callie so she could give it to Sofia, "Are we ready?" he asked

"Yes," Callie answered, "I will have the chicken fettuccine alfredo." She answered

"O that sounds good me too," Arizona spoke with a smile on her face.

"Momma can I have spaghetti?" Sofia asked Arizona as Callie handed Sofia her cup, "thank you Mommy." Sofia said to Callie.

"She will have spaghetti I guess." Arizona answered to the waiter.

"Yay! I love spaghetti!" Sofia said a little too excited causing the table to laugh.

Carlos and Lucia both ordered.

"Okay I will be back shortly with some bread to start you off as well," the waiter smiled directing his attention to Carlos, "you have a beautiful family sir." He said as he left. Arizona and Callie were not paying attention they were playing with Sofia in a fierce tic-tac-toe battle.

The food came and dinner went on rather uneventful. Conversation between Callie, Arizona, and Carlos flowed easily. Lucia spoke mostly only when spoken to but she was not being rude so it counted as a win. Sofia was keeping the table entertained with stories from daycare and her adventures.


Back at the house Callie and Carlos were putting Sofia to bed. Arizona saw Lucia standing outside in the backyard. Opening the back door Arizona asked, "Is there anything I can get you?" Lucia looked up at the Arizona.

"No." She answered, "This is not a real family you know that right?" Lucia asked unable to continue holding her tongue, "Sofia is not your daughter her father died, and you and Callie are not married." Lucia said still staring out into the yard not looking at Arizona.

"This is a family Lucia I know that you don't want it to be and you are uncomfortable with it and that is fine I don't need your approval, but this is a family my family. Did Carlos ever tell you about the first time I really spoke to him?" Arizona asked she was not angry or hurt she kept her voice strong.

"No, he did not I never asked." Lucia answered

"I told him about my father about how when my father found out I was a lesbian he bent for me he loved me anyway because I was his little girl. He never made me feel like something was wrong with me. I know that your mind is not going to change by me telling you a story about how my mother has always been supportive and how she loves Sofia and Callie, sometimes I think she loves Callie more than she loves me." Arizona let out a small giggle at that thought.

"So instead I'm going to tell you this, this is my home, this is my family and Sofia is my daughter. I was there when we first heard her heartbeat, I was there to argue with Callie about weather or not she should drink coffee during pregnancy, I am the reason Sofia is here today I made her heart beat in an O.R., she is my daughter and I have the legal documents to prove it. Calliope is my wife we stood in front of our friends and family and pledged our love for each other we promised forever she supports me and makes me strong when I don't think I can go on, and I do the same for her, we have been in good times and bad and we are in love, I also now have the legal documents to prove she is my wife."

Arizona now stood in front of Lucia forcing the older woman to look at her. "I don't need you to approve I honestly could care less, I actually feel sorry for you because you are missing your daughter's and your granddaughter's life and I want you to be able to see them, I want you to be in their lives because they want you in their lives, but if you ever come into my house again and say that this is not a family it will be the last time you come here and will be the last time you speak to either of them. I understand that you don't understand this but I will not have you around my daughter telling her there is something wrong with her, with me, or with my wife. I will not allow you to continue hurting my wife and I will not allow you to ever hurt my daughter." Arizona said trying to keep her voice steady she didn't want to give Lucia the satisfaction of knowing she got a rise out of her.

'I don't understand how you could treat Calliope the way you do I look at Sofia and I know that I will never act towards her the way you do to Callie I will always support my baby girl. That is something I have learned from the mistake you are making so now you need to decide can you be her grandmother? Can you be a mother to Callie? Because if you can not if you can't love and support them then you need to leave now, you can stay at the apartment it's still furnished, but I am done letting you hurt them so if you stay then step up and be a mother." Arizona finished and walked into the house leaving Lucia outside to make her decision.

Arizona was shocked by what just happened she didn't intend to give Lucia an ultimatum, she didn't mean to lose her temper. She started walking towards her room hoping Callie wouldn't be to angry with her.


A/N: I already have the next chapter started. I did reference Mark's death in this so this is a post plane crash Fic I guess. I didn't want to make Arizona's leg a huge deal its years later now and she has gotten used to it. I had an aunt who had the same amputation and if she was wearing pants and her prosthetic you could barely tell she had a limp but she was just as mobile as anyone else after physical therapy so that is how I will show Arizona in this I'm not going to focus on how her leg missing is causing her life to be harder because I know she can live normally by this point. Especially assuming she has the best possible prosthetic out there considering they would have the money and ability to get it for her.
