"Arizona, how did you manage to throw your hip out? You're eighteen years old." Barbara said as she watched her daughter struggle to walk. "I don't know, but it really hurts." The blonde said as she made her way over to the couch, she lied down and put her feet up. "Well you can't walk around school like that. I'll call you in for the day. Tim has to stay at the recruiting office until three, your father has to stay over a few hours for work and I have to drive down to Tacoma and stay for a few days; so if you need anything call your father or 911." Barbara walked over and kissed Arizona on the head. "I love you sweetheart, have a nice day." The older woman called as she walked out the door, Arizona yelled "I love you too" back before Barbara closed the front door.
Once Barbara's car pulled out of the drive way and headed down the street Arizona jumped up and grabbed her phone. She pulled up Callie's contact and quickly pressed the 'call' button.
"Guess who just left."
"Mamma Robbins has left the nest?"
"Yes, Mamma Robbins has left the nest." Arizona giggled, imagining the grin on Callie's face.
"I'll be over in like five minutes. Love you."
"Love you too, Callie."
Arizona hung up and laid down back on the couch. She managed to grab the TV remote off the coffee table and started searching through channels. She stopped on one of the old kids cartoons she watched when she was a little girl. Just as the blonde sat the remote down there was a knock on the front door. Arizona peeked out the living room window and didn't see Callie's car. The blonde slowly crept to the front door and looked through the peephole. On the other side stood her neighbor lady, Mrs. Heathers, and her young daughter, Lilly. Realizing who it was Arizona ripped the front door open and smiled.
"Hi Arizona, I hope you don't mind us coming over."
"Oh no you're fine. Can I help you?"
"Yes actually you can. Lilly isn't feeling well and I just got called in for work and my husband just left for work. Do you think you could watch her?"
"Oh…yeah I can watch her." Arizona smiled at Lilly who was hiding her face in her mother's neck.
"Great! Thank you so much!" Mrs. Heathers picked up the diaper bag that was beside her and handed it to the blonde. After Arizona had the bag firmly on her shoulder Mrs. Heathers handed her daughter over. The little girl starred at Arizona with her crystal clear blue eyes.
"She has a runny nose and she had a fever. I gave her medicine an hour ago so she's do for another dose at noon. Thank you so much, Arizona."
"You're we-." Before Arizona could finish her sentence the mother was gone. Arizona shrugged and carried the toddler and diaper bag inside.
The blonde sat the bag down and sat Lilly on the couch. Lilly stuck out her bottom lip and started to cry. "Lilly, don't cry its okay." Arizona picked the little girl back up and rubbed her back. While Arizona tried to sooth Lilly Callie barged into the house with several bags. "I brought us breakfast! I know you like the pancakes from the diner downtown." Callie started towards her girlfriend but stopped when she saw the little girl in her arms.
"Zona, what is she doing here?"
"Her mom dropped her off, she's not feeling so good." Arizona ran her fingers through Lilly's light brown hair.
"Well how long is she staying?"
"All day I think."
"Arizona! This was supposed to be just you and me day." Callie placed the bags on the coffee table.
"I'm sorry, Callie. But could you turn away this adorable face?" Arizona turned slightly to show Lilly's face.
"I-I couldn't."
"Are you hungry, Lilly?" Arizona whispered in the little girl's ear.
Lilly shook her head 'no' but pulled her head away to look at the TV. Arizona sat Lilly on the ground while Callie put their breakfast on the table. Arizona watched Lilly lay down on her stomach and prop her head up with her shoulder. The blonde and the brunette couldn't help but giggle at the little girl as they ate their breakfast. Callie finished her breakfast first, she leaned back and let the soft couch wrap around her while Arizona kept her eyes on Lilly. "Should I try to get her to eat something?" The blonde leaned over and whispered. "I have no idea. Did her mom say she ate anything?" Arizona shook her head before returning her gaze to Lilly.
"Lilly, do you want any breakfast?" Arizona asked in the sweetest voice she could.
"No. Thank you." The little brunette squeaked out.
"I got this, Arizona." Callie whispered. She leaned over and cut off a piece of pancake.
"Mmmmm this pancake is sooooo good and it's all mine." Lilly turned her head to see Callie brining the pancake closer to her mouth. Once Callie ate it Lilly walked over to Arizona's side.
"Up." The tiny brunette held her arms out for Arizona to pick her up. Arizona picked the little girl up and placed her in her lap. Lilly reached over and picked up the rest of Arizona's breakfast.
Callie watched out of pure amazement as Lilly chewed on the pancake. As Lilly continued to chew Callie and Arizona both watched the little girl. Every so often Callie would catch Arizona giving Lilly an all too familiar look; Callie called it Arizona's 'Please, please, please can I have it? I promise I'll use it' look. The look made the brunette think about their future together and how difficult it would be. She thought about how difficult it would be to get through college together, then get through med school, internships and residencies. Before Callie could go even deeper into her thoughts she felt a sudden weight in her lap. Callie looked down to see Lilly sitting in her lap with her back resting against the brunette's stomach.
'She likes you' Arizona mouthed while Lilly watched the cartoons on the TV. The trio sat in silence for half an hour before Lilly started to stir. "You okay, Lilly?" Callie asked her most loving voice. The tiny brunette shook her head 'no' and coughed; Callie looked at Arizona for guidance. "Come here, Lil." Arizona held her arms out and the tiny brunette quickly climbed off Callie's lap then into Arizona's arms. The blonde grabbed the diaper bag before she carried Lilly into the kitchen. "Can you sit still for me?" Arizona asked as she sat Lilly down on the counter top; Lilly nodded and swung her legs back and forth. Arizona searched through the diaper bag until she found a bottle that read: 'Children's cold and flu symptom relief.' she poured out the right amount of liquid into the cap and put it up to Lilly's lips. Lilly cautiously drank the medicine until the cap was empty. "Good girl, you drank all your medicine! Now it's going to make you feel all better and you'll be ready for a nap. So, let's get you ready for nap time. Hopefully mommy packed an extra pair of clothes."
Arizona scooped Lilly into her arms and carried the diaper bag over to Callie. Arizona tried to search through the bag to find the little girl a change of clothes. The brunette could see how hard Arizona was struggling to find the clothes and juggle the toddler. "Here, let me." Callie leaned over and retrieved a tiny pajama one-piece. Lilly took her arms away from Arizona's neck and stretched them out to Callie. "I think she wants you to change her." Arizona giggled thinking it was cute that Lilly had bonded with Callie in such a short amount of time.
"I-I don't know how to. I've only had to dress myself."
"It's easy, Callie. Just change her while I build a little crib." Arizona said as she handed Lilly over to Callie.
Arizona grabbed a blanket, pillows and moved two of the living room chairs in the corner. Callie wanted to watch her girlfriend build a crib for Lilly but she knew she had to change her. The brunette sat the little brunette on the ground and started to undress her. Once Lilly was out of her day clothes Callie unzipped the one-piece allowing Lilly to put her feet in the holes. After a few minutes of struggling Lilly and Callie high fived at their dressing accomplishment. "Ready for nap time?" Arizona cheerfully asked as she picked Lilly up.
Arizona carried Lilly over to the makeshift crib in the corner. A blanket sat under two chairs with a few pillows for Lilly to sleep on. To top it off Arizona threw a blanket over the top so light wouldn't shine on the toddler while she slept. Lilly immediately settled in and curled up with one of the many pillows. Arizona walked over to the diaper bag and pulled out one of the baby monitors. She turned it on, placed it by the crib, grabbed the other monitor and then grabbed Callie by the hand before dragging her upstairs.
"Arizona, what are you doing?" Callie asked as Arizona dragged her into the bedroom.
"I just want to spend some alone time with you." Arizona whispered as she kissed Callie's neck. Callie moved her head to the side and locked lips with Arizona; the brunette grabbed Arizona by the waist and pulled her extremely close. Before they went any further Arizona put the baby monitor on the dresser by her door.
Within seconds the two fell onto Arizona's bed. Arizona tangled her fingers in Callie's hair, deepening the kiss. Arizona pulled away breathless and looked down at Callie who was also breathless. "Wow, that was-wow." The brunette whispered as she placed her hands on Arizona's hips. "Who said we're done, Calliope?" Arizona giggled before pressing her lips firmly against Callie's. They continued the make out session until Arizona slid her hand under Callie's shirt. Callie pulled away from the kiss and looked into Arizona's dark eyes.
"Calliope, what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong it's just-is this really how you want our first time?" Callie couldn't believe she was questioning the situation, but she wanted to make sure Arizona was ready considering the farthest they had gone was second base, almost to third.
"What do you mean, Calliope?"
"You're always talking about how special and romantic you want it to be. Do you really want it to be spontaneous with a two year old downstairs?" Arizona's eyes dropped down to Callie's stomach, she knew Callie was right.
"No…this isn't how I wanted it to be." Arizona collapsed on the bed next to Callie and grabbed the brunette's hand. Callie brought Arizona's hand to her lips and placed gentle kisses over it.
"Remember when it almost happened the day before Thanksgiving but your parents came home?" Arizona giggled, biting her lip at the memories.
"Of course I do. I was so pissed at them."
"We should-."
"Awozona?" A little voice suddenly filled the room causing the blonde and brunette to jump.
"I think Lilly's awake." Callie said getting off the bed.
The two adjusted their clothes before going downstairs. Lilly had climbed out of the fort and was sitting on the floor watching cartoons when Callie and Arizona got downstairs. "Hey Lil, what's going on?" Arizona asked as she scooped Lilly into her arms. "I'm thirsty." Lilly whispered rubbing her eyes with her little fists. Arizona carried Lilly to the fridge and held it open for her; "You can have whatever you want." The blonde chirped as the tiny brunette searched the drinks.
While Lilly and Arizona searched for something to drink there was a knock at the door. Callie and Arizona both turned their attention to the front door. Callie quickly got up and looked through the peep hole to see who was on the other side. All Callie could focus on was the pair of crystal clear blue eyes that starred back into the peephole. The brunette opened the door and watched the man lift his head up to see her.
"Hi, my wife said my daughter is here." He smiled and tried to look inside.
"What's your daughter's name?"
"Lilly, Lilly Avery."
"Daddy!" Lilly yelled as she tried to reach out for her dad while Arizona carried her towards him.
"Hey baby girl." The man said as Arizona placed the little girl in his arms and handed the diaper bag over.
"Here she is, Jackson. I gave her medicine about an hour ago."
"Awozona gave me juice!"
"She did? Did you say thank you?"
"Thank you, Awozona." She said with a smile on her face.
"You are very welcome, Lil."
"Say bye, Lilly. We gotta go home and get ready for your doctor appointment."
"Bye Awozona! Bye Cawie!"
"Bye Lilly." They both said in sink.
"Thanks again guys." Jackson said before walking through the Robbins' front yard to get to his.
Arizona closed the door and then threw herself into Callie's arms. The blonde sighed loudly in the brunette's neck causing Callie to giggle softly. The blonde nuzzled her nose against Callie's neck and placed gentle kisses over her pulse point.
"Today was exhausting! I just want to go to my room and cuddle."
"That can be arranged."
Before Arizona got the chance to respond Callie threw the blonde over her shoulder and carefully carried her upstairs. Arizona squealed the entire trip but Callie just kept walking until she reached the blonde's room. Callie tossed Arizona on the bed which caused the blonde to laugh as she bounced on the bed. The brunette crawled on the bed and rested her head on Arizona's chest.
"I don't know how people raise kids. We only had Lilly for a few hours and I'm exhausted." Arizona whined while running her fingers through Callie's hair.
"How many kids do you want, Callie?" Arizona waited for a response but got nothing.
"Calliope?"
Arizona looked down to see Callie fast asleep with her face pressed against the blonde's breast. The blonde smiled as she continued to run her fingers through Callie's hair. Arizona leaned down and kissed Callie's head before lying down on the bed and falling asleep.
