Chapter 2

The following week, Callie and Arizona went back to work at Seattle Grace. The minute they walked in the doors to the hospital, they were greeted by the hospital staff all giving their best 'congrats' to the happy couple. They each took their turns hugging each of them before heading back to work.

Callie and Arizona held hands as they made their way into the elevator heading to the Attending lounge. They changed into their navy blue scrubs, gave each other a quick kiss and headed in opposite directions towards their departments.

Callie made it halfway down the hallway before she heard her name being called. "Torres! You not going to say hi to me?" Callie turned around and saw Mark standing behind her with the biggest grin on his face.

"Hey Mark." Callie gave him a smile and gave him a light punch in the arm. The both of them continued walking down the hallway.

Mark took a sip of his coffee before opening his mouth. "So….Hahn showing up last week must have been weird."

"I know, right? Like who shows up uninvited. Not to mention that I haven't seen her since she left."

"She try to get into bed with you two?" Mark had a dirty grin all across his face. Callie gave him a harder punch this time. "Shut up Mark. She apologized for what happened between her and I…and asked to be friends again." Callie had a slightly confused look on her face that didn't go unnoticed by Mark.

"So what's the problem then?

"Mark, she told Arianna at the reception that she would marry me one day…and said the same thing to Arizona. Who says something like that? That doesn't seem a little creepy to you?"

Mark thought about it for a moment. "Cal, don't worry about it so much. She said she wanted to be friends, so just leave it at that."

"Yeah maybe you're right….thanks Mark but I have a consult to get to." Callie hugged Mark quickly before briskly walking down to her patients room.

After lunch Callie and Arizona were standing at the nurse's station speaking with one of the nurses about the ceremony.

"Aww….sounds so romantic. I wish I could find a man who was smart and good looking enough. Not to mention be able to stay sober for more than an hour, who would get married with me like that." The nurse sunk to her chair staring off into space daydreaming. Callie and Arizona giggled at the woman and continued to look over their charts when they heard a pair of heels clicking against the cold, tiled hospital flooring.

"Hello ladies!"

"Erica…Hi." Callie responded with a look of shock as her and Arizona spun around to see who was behind them. "Dr. Hahn, what are you still doing here in Seattle?" Arizona asked.

"Well I had a case at Seattle Presbyterian but I'm done now so, I was wondering if you ladies care to have a drink at Joe's tonight?"

Callie and Arizona looked at each other, then turned back to Erica staring at them. "Sure…we get off at seven." Callie answered, grabbing Arizona's hand and headed to the cafeteria. Callie turned to face Arizona. "Weird, right?"

"Very weird. The fact that you dated her is astonishing to me. She's so…creepy." Arizona said slightly squinting her eyes.

"She never used to be this creepy. Something is going on, I can't quite put my finger on it." Callie said as stared off into space.

Seven o'clock came by quickly. Arizona walked into the Attending lounge to change out of her scrubs and into her clothes. She saw Calliope's scrubs and name tag on the couch and decided to take a peek around the corner to the showers. Callie had just stepped into the shower. Arizona decided to surprise her wife so she quickly ran back to her locker, grabbed her clothes and headed back to the showers. She removed her scrubs and lay them next to her clothes on the bench. Callie had her eyes closed and was completely in her thoughts that she didn't hear Arizona walk into the shower.

Arizona started to slowly run her fingers down Callie's wet back. As she was feeling Callie's body, she swiped Callie's hair to one side and started to kiss her neck. Callie opened her eyes and turned around to face Arizona. She pushed her back against the shower wall and attacked her lips hastily but softly. They both moan inside each other's mouths as they slide their tongues in the other's mouth and run their hands all over the other's body.

"We're supposed to be getting ready to go for drinks." Callie says with a grin of pleasure on her face.

"Can't we just skip it?" Arizona responds kissing Callie's collar bone.

"Believe me I wish we could but, we said we'd go…so let's go get ready." Callie takes Arizona's hand and leads her out of the shower. She quickly dries off and wraps the towel around her body. She then grabs another towel and starts to dry Arizona off. "I promise we will continue this when we get home." Callie says with a devilish smirk.

The two women sneak in kisses every chance they can in between putting on articles of clothing. Once they were both dressed, they pulled each other into an embrace and softly kissed each other. Arizona looked up to her wife.

"Words can't express how happy I am that you're back. I love you."

"I love you too Zona, always." Callie gave her wife another kiss before taking her hand. They laced their fingers together and walked out of the lounge to the elevator.

They walked hand in hand all the way to Joe's. When they stepped in they saw Erica wave for them to come over. Arizona turned to Callie. "I still say there's something strange about her being here."

"Well Arizona you're here with me so it's not like she can pull anything funny."

The two of them, still holding hands went and sat at Erica's table. Erica greeted them with a smile. "What do you ladies want to drink? First round is on me."

"Ooh…I think I will just have a beer." Arizona said in her perky voice giving Erica a slightly forced dimpled smile.

"Yeah make that two, Erica?...Thanks." Callie placed her hand on Arizona's knee to comfort as she could clearly see that Arizona was a nervous wreck. Erica came back and placed the drinks in the middle of the table. She sat down and took a sip of her drink while looking at Callie with a glare of hidden desire.

"So Callie, Arizona…how did you two meet?" Erica looked between the two women.

Callie took a sip of her beer. "Well we met here actually. Or well….in the bathroom."

"In the bathroom?"

Arizona spoke up."Yeah well I had heard about her from some of the people at the hospital, and one night she was sitting at the bar upset. She got up and I followed her to the bathroom."

"Interesting. So you're her stalker?" Erica said with a smirk.

"Erica!" Callie snapped.

"I'm sorry Arizona. I didn't mean it."

Arizona took in a breath and slightly gritting her teeth. "It's fine, no worries. Calliope I'm just going to go to the washroom okay?" Arizona stood up and kissed Callie's cheek then walked towards the bathroom.

"Since when do you let people call you Calliope?" Erica said with an eyebrow raised.

Callie didn't answer. She just stared at Arizona till she was no longer insight. She then grabbed her bottle of beer and took a large gulp. Erica moved her chair a little closer and placed her hand on Callie's thigh and as soon as Callie put her drink down on the table, Erica made her move. She leaned in and attempted to place a kiss on Callie's lips.

Callie pulled away before their lips could even meet and pushed Erica's hand off her thigh. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Erica had a look of surprise on her face. "I'm sorry. I just miss you, you know?"

"Yeah, well you could have fooled me there. You had no right. You lost any right to touch me like that when you left. I'm married now. Married and happy and whole. I thought that we had closed this up…this thing you and I had."

Arizona walked back to the table and resumed her seat. Callie giving a glare of anger towards Erica turned to Arizona. "Come on babe…let's go home. Erica has to go anyway so we may as well go too."

"Okay….Goodnight Erica." Arizona grabbed her coat and followed Callie through the crowd towards the door.

When Callie and Arizona stepped into their apartment, Arizona turned around after hanging up her coat to face Callie who went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water.

"Are you going to tell me what that was all about?" Arizona asked.

"What what was all about?"Callie responded taking another sip from her bottle.

"Why you were in such a hurry to leave."

"Okay, well don't overreact. Don't do anything rash. You hear me? I've handled it, so there's no need to cause a scene."

"okay."

"Okay well when you went to the bathroom, Erica…she…." Callie took in a breath. "…..she tried to kiss me."

"She did WHAT!"

"I pushed her away before she could even do it and I told her that I was happy with you. Look Arizona, don't panic…she was probably drunk." Callie tried to calm Arizona by bringing her into her arms and kissing her lips.

Arizona pulled away from Callie's lips. "For her sake, she had better been drunk."

Both women giggled in each other's arms. Then Arizona put her arms behind Callie's neck and pulled herself up to kiss Callie's lips. The kiss grew deeper as their tongues started to rub against each other. Arizona started to walk towards the bedroom with Callie still holding her tightly. She pulled her through the doorway of the bedroom, as Callie kicked the door close.
