MUTE PRT 3
CALLIE'S POV
After all the shit I have been through in my life I have never been so nervous about anything in my infront of a judge saying that I would make a great parent to the twins, that was a big step, But I didn't let anyone see how nervous I was.
"Why do they want to come to the house?" I whispered as we walked out
"Its a formality, they want to be sure that everything is on the up and up." Arizona says as we make our way down the hall.
"Well everything is fine right?"
"Yep we have nothing to worry about."
Nothing to worry about... yea I have everything to worry about and it starts with Tim Robbins.
"Arizona?"
I couldn't lie to her about what I wasabout to do I like her too much,I like what we have and where its going to fuck up.
"Yea."
Arizona's eyes looked up at me and I get a little ping in my chest like every time she looks at me,I really think I should get that checked out.
"I have to call Tim."
"What why?"
"To be sure people arnt looking to come for me, I dont know what is going to happen now that I'm active again,I need to know whats going to happen." I say.
I hope she knows I wouldn't be doing this if I was a normal person, Im not and dont want to do anything to bring her family back into her life. But if I dont do this I run the risk of the goverment coming back and trying to pull me away from the life I have made.
"Anfd thats it just to keep the goverment away?"
"Thats all nothing more."
she looked at her phone, something I didnt own, then she handed it to me.
"I'm taking you phone shopping after we eat." She says.
I hit a few numbers before dailing the number I knew well.
"Hello?"
"Tim."
"Hello?"
"Dont play dumb with me Tim and you know why Im calling."
"Callie?"
"Yes."
"When did you start talking?
"Since your sister kissed me."
"Oh I hear your playing house with my little sister, no wounder she was in a rush to get back to Seattle."
"I'm not in the mood to talk Tim I just want to know what they have said to you."
He gave a sigh.
"Tell my sister dont ever say I did do anything for her." He says
"What are you talking about?"
"I told them to leave you alone there was nothing you could do because you have gone through domestication and you would die if they tried to remove you." He said
"So as long as they are happy with that i'm ok for the time."
"Now why do you say that?" Tim asked
"Its the Government Tim."
"Then I tie you up with dad..."
"NO I dont want to have anything to do with that. I love Arizona and I'm no going to pull her back into that." I growl.
I didnt mean to let that slip but I wasn't going to take it back.
There was movement on the other end and the sound of a woman.
"They are safer with you Callie and I will do anyhthing to keep it that way so don't worry about anything ok...All I ask is that if something feels off to you do what feels right. ..."
"I will kill anyone that thinks to cross them and I mean you too Tim and anyone that you may think..."
"I know Callie."
"No you dont Know Tim I will kill you your father your mother ANYONE you send my way. I will keep them safe and give them a loving home but they are my kids now my family and none of the rest matters."
"Ca..."
"Unless your next words are you are going to tell your little buddies to leave then you have nothing to say to me."
"What are you talking about?"
I locked eyes with the man across from me and I moved over next to him and pinched his neck.
"Talk."
I put the phone to his ear.
"I'm sososo sorry I didn't think she she would notice me."
I could hear Tim yelling
"This is the las time I am going to tell you to keep away Tim next time a body part will make its way to you."
ARIZONA POV
I was shcocked to hear what Callie would do if people crossed her and I had to say it should have scared me. But growing up the way I did nothing that horrible never bothered me.
I watch as the man jump up and run out the cafe before Callie came back to the table.
"How did you know?" I ask
"He was watching us like he was watching a football game." She says
Thats all she said.
"Oh god you make me want to slap you." I say
"What I do to you?"
"Your so cryptic at times it drives me crazy, a month of your cryptic answers."
"Sorry?"
"I swear if you wasn't such a damn sweet kind and loving woman Iwould leave you."
"You forgot my looks."
"Calliope." I moaned
"Oo I love that sound."
"Callie!" I yelped and jumped when I felt her hand on my thigh.
"You're not helping yourself." she says
Not thinking I let out a growl and it was quickly followed by Callie's very own.
There was nothing I could do to win this fight so I just stopped doing anything until our food arrived.
Callie sat back pleased with herself before digging into her rare steak.
"SO when do you start working?"
"Tomorrow, I'm off on the weekends, I tried to line my schedule up with yours so the girls will have us both home home as much as we can be. I want to give them the life that I didn't get to have."
"Can I ask how was you childhood?"
"I grew up rich, I mean my father was in the top three in Forbes magazine riches people in the world. Thats how it was for as long as I can remember and he was proud of that, he was proud to through money around when he wanted something or when he wanted something to go away. Most the time that something he wanted gone was me, he would send me on trips with my nanny Jenny shopping with Jenny school plays and teachers meetings with Jenny. I went back to London with her every summer from the time I was 3 til I was 18...I want the girls to know that we both care about them and that we both will be there when they need us."
I looked at Callie and I could see the sadness in her eyes how she longed for her family and wish that things was different.
"I was in boot camp when I learned that Jenny was killed in a car crash when her taxi was hit on the way from the airport to her moms. Her mom got my address from her things and sent me a letter."
That put a deeper sting of pain in my chest learning that someone that Callie loved was taken away from her.
"I'm Sorry."
"I'm not telling you this for you to feel sorry, I'm telling you this so you will understand why I am the way I am. Not this crazy Marine made Hybrid I want you to know that I am human I know you know that but I am human and I feel."
I reached out and cupped Callie's face wiping away her tears with my thumbs.
"Calliope I know you are human and I also know what kind of power you have, I have seen how gentle you are with the girl, And I have felt it in your kiss. Nothing about you scares me I have no reason to fear you because I know you." I say looking into deep brown eyes.
after that heart filled moment we finshed our lunch and Callie dropped me off at work promising that dinner would be ready when I got home. I couldn't stop myslf from leaning in ad kissing her.
This kiss was stronger and lasted longer than any of our previous kisses and I'm sure would have lasted longer if Mark hadn't knocked on the window.
"Can I kill him yet?" Callie asked .
"No...Go phone shopping before going home." I say putting on my coat.
"Yes ma'am."
"I mean it Calliope Torres."
"I am, where should I go?"
I thought about if for a moment.
"I go through Verizon the have better coverage here." I say.
Sure they can be a pain in my ass but what phone company isnt.
"Ok...See you when you get home then."
And with that she gave me one las kiss befor I left her in the Car.
"You two look happy." Mark says
"We are."
"Shes hot."
"She is and shes also gay and will kick the shit out of you." I say laughing
"Why do you say that?" He asks
"Because shes coming to work here, so if I were you I will chill on the flirting. I'm your best friend Mark not a fuck buddy." I say as we make our way to my office.
I was behind on my work and the first thing on my list was a 13 year old with Pancreatic Cancer.
When I looked up from doing my charts it was well after midnight and I was back to my office I grabed my things, again to tired to change out my scrubs, and headed to my car.
The drive wasn't as long as it would have been if I was tired butthe closer I got to home the more my stomach growled.
"Ok I'm going to feed you."
Just as I turned onto the road leading up to the large gate I hit a fucking deer. Where it came from and why it was out there I dont know, but I hit it and I was now nose to nose with a dieing deer.
The first thing I did was call the police to have them come out so I could file a report, then I called home.
"Hello."
"Callie?" I was crying
"Arizona whats wrong?"
"I hit a deer...I hit a deer and its dieing and I dont know what to do."
"Where are you I will come..."
"No you cant leave the girls I'll be home soon." I say seeing the cop pull up.
"Ok."
I hear worry in her voice and I cant help but smile at the fact that she is so loving.
It only took a few minutes to file the report but I was now left with a now dead deer on my car.
with a defeted sigh I drove my car home since there was nothing I could do, I'd be stuck for an hour in the cold waiting for someone to come pick it up. when I got home Callie was waiting outside for me.
"Wow...No one came to help you?"
"Fish and wildlife is going to take an hour." I say
"I'll handle it."
I don't even want to know what that means, Callie went inside to get dressed but when she came back she had a large roll of plastic.
"Im going to take her dow to the Fish and Wildlife maybe they can do some thing with her." Callie said.
I watched as she worked the deer out my window of my car and she moved it to the back of the SUV.
"Shes not dead just in shock they may c an save her." She says.
giving me a quick kiss she left out with me watching her.
I went in doors and the first thing I did was empty my stomach everything I ate came out just as i reached the bathroom. I was lucky not to get it everywhere.
Once showered and dressed in my pjs Callie was walking through the door.
'Let me shower and we can try to get something into your stomach." She says moving quickly past me.
As she showered I went into the kitchen to see what she made me for dinner. The plate was hot and there was signs that she was cooking when I called, or just finished. I pulled the top off and was meant with the wounderful smell of fresh veggies mashed potatoes gravy and a good sized steak.
"I'll take that...I'm guessing you're not going to want meat for the next few days."
"You guess right." I say as she takes the steak off the plate.
"I'll call the insurance company in the morning." I say sitting at the table
"Make it after we do have the DCS or whatever coming in the morning." Callie says as she sits across from me.
"Yeah I know...Tell me about your shopping trip.
"I dont see why I need one of these." Callie says
She gets up and goes into the other room before coming back with an unopened box in on hand and a bag in the other.
"Whats in the bag?"
"Stuff I just had to have."
she drops the bag on the table before putting the box down.
"Why did you get that one?" I asked trying to mask my smile
"You seem to like yours so I got the black one." she says running a knife down the side.
"This is after the 17 year old spent 15 minutes trying to sell me a apple. I dont really like how they look or work."She says
"So you got the G3 because I have one and I like mine?"
"Yep and no I just dont want an apple and I wanted to piss the boy off,He must really hate LG because he left me on my own after I told him what I wanted. Some Woman picked up a sale after that and she helped me get all I needed."
Callie made a face.
"Whats that face about?" I ask
"She gave me her card with her personal number on it and told me to call if I needed seemed to get upset when I told her that my girlfriend wouldnt lik that Idea."
I started to laugh softly, Callie doesn't see herself as this amazing Sexy woman that she is, she just sees herself as Callie the Marine and now mom. I haven't told her that beening a Marine helps the sexy factor for a lot of women and men.
"Callie you are sexy and people will want you and that is fine with me."
"It is?" She asked
"As long as I know that you are home at night as long as I know that its me that you love and want. I dont care what other people think and say because I know its me that you want, and if you should ever want to leave tell me I dont want you to stay where you're not happy." I say.
"Arizona its in me to Mate for life that way they could be sure I was only with who they assinged as My handler. Once they found Tim beaten and bloodied they finally relized that I wasn't going to have kids and they assumed that I would with another but when the pared me with him I did the same thing. They tried a number of times with the same out why they discharged me cant have someone uncontrolable around. "
She went back to opening the box.
But one thing kept nagging me.
"Why me?" I ask pushing the now empty plate away.
"I dont know... I knew you was the one that had control over me when you stoped me from hurting that mover. If you had not asked me to stay I would have anyway."
"Stalking is a crime you know that right." I say with a smile.
"You and I both know you wouldnt have seen me."
"I found you."
"Thats because I was traped."
"You was sleeping."
"Because I have nothing to fear from you,I felt you come in the house, Something about you makes me calm."
That was the sweetest thing I have heard in my life and I have heard some pickup let whatever woman saying them think I had fallen for them just so I could myself use them for a good night. After it was all done I was gone before they had the chance to do the same.
"We never ma...had sex how do I have such control over you?"
"Because I was marked as yours before any of this happened."
Now that was confusing.
"What?"
"I saw a picture of you in Tim's things one day while he was tring to learn how to control me. You are so hard not to fall in love with, you was imprinted into my brain and that was it."Callie said
"Would you have mated with them if you had not seen my pictuer?"
"Nope I knew I liked women when I was 13 and I had girlfriends."She says looking though the little papers that come with the phone.
"Did Tim tell you where I was?"
"God no he didn't show me your picture I found that on my own, he showed me everything that he thought I would find strong and sexy and manly. Fishing trips hunting trips 6 million pictures of him and your dad doing manly things things I could careless never said boo about you ever and I wanted to know why but never asked...I see why now."
"Why?"
I was hurt that Tim would leave me out of the family.
"Because you the better looking twin."
I froze no one knew Tim and I was twins I was born hours after him, the next day to be technical. We had two different bithdays two everything and I would offten get what was leftover from Tims birthday parties as I got older I thought mom would change that but she was the same about Tim.
"How do you know we dont even look the same?"
"I know Tim is ugly... women like him because he has money. He thinks handsome even pretty in a manly way but hes ugly. His hair is greasy his eyes make him look like a weasel his nose is too big for his face and he thinks he god gift to everything...should I go on?"
"No no thats fine but how can you tell?"
"I didn't you cant tell but you do have the characteristics of someone who has a twin. And since Tim is your only sibling that was my only guess until you froze when you froze I knew I was right."
This woman.
I look over at the clock and see its well past 2am and we need to be up in a few hour to get the girls up for school.
"Eh I'm to tired to work on this right now." Callie says
thats the first time she said she was tired on her own so that meant she was ready to go to bed.
"Come on lets go to sleep." I say putting my dish in the dish washer and hitting the wash button.
"My I ask where Miss Torres is?"
I wasn't going to like this woman but I have to act as if I liked her or we may not past and they could put a stop to our adoption.
"She is dropping the girls off at school."
I hear the beep of the car alarm signaling that Callie was home.
"That should be her right now." I say just as the door open and she walked in.
"Look what I found shivering under the car this morning. I have to take them to the vet once we are done here but I couldn't leave them in the snow."Callie say unzipping her coat to show two little kittens.
THe DCS worker watched us as I looked at the kittens.
"Let me get them set up with something warm." she sighed when she saw the worker writing something.
Once Back the DCS worker picked that moment to talk again.
"I"m Mrs. Jill Karson and I will be the one that will determine if you have a stable enough home for the children."
She started out walking around the house.
"I take it the children share a room." she says as she finished her walk through of the house.
"No Alma and Alexis have their own rooms with full bathrooms" Callie says
"Show me the rooms." Mrs. Karson says writing something down
Callie opened her mouth to say something when both our phones started beeping then mine started to ring.
"Let me just grab that." I say
"Hello?...Yes I am on my way now." I say before hanging up
SHe started to write and I had to bite my tongue
"That was the school they are send kids home early due to the suprise snow storm that will hit around 12." I say
Callie reached into her pocket and pulled out the keys to the SUV
"I'll get them." I say when she started to head for the door.
It was wrong of me but I needed to get away from that woman.
