Half an hour later they stepped out of the bathroom, draped in towels. They put on some clothes quickly and walked to the living room to get ready.

'I'm glad we made up after our conversation yesterday' Callie started while putting on her leather jacket.

'In the parking lot you mean?'

'Yeah. And I understand it, you don't feel like this is your home anymore.' Callie looked around and gestured her hands towards the living room. 'So many depressing things have happened here in the past year. I want us to start over. So... I've been thinking about something, but you should tell me if you think we're moving to fast.' Callie stopped for a moment and Arizona looked at her expectantly. 'I was thinking about buying a house together. We already wanted to do that months ago, when you were...'

There was a tense silence.

Arizona flinched a little and ended Callie's sentence. 'Pregnant.'

Callie watched Arizona tentatively for a few seconds. 'Yeah.'

'I thought about getting another place too. This place just reminds me of all the bad things that happened to us. And I know we shared a lot of happy moments in here too. But I can't seem to stop focussing on the negative stuff.'

Callie walked over to Arizona and hugged her tightly. She kissed her neck briefly and whispered in her ear.

'We've had such a hard time. But I'm sure we can make this work. I love you so much, I don't ever want to lose you again.'

'I love you too. We'll be ok, I promise.'

They stood there, hugging each other securely, not wanting to let go. Callie was the first one to speak after a few minutes.

'We really do have to go now. I miss Sofia. Maybe the three of us can do something nice today.'

'Great idea. I'm so glad we both have the day off.'

Arizona disentangled herself from Callie, smiled and leaned forward to place a sweet kiss against her wife's lips. 'We'll look at the house thing tonight, when Sofia's asleep.'

'Can't wait'

Arizona leaned in again, grabbing Callie's leather jacket and kissing her more passionately this time, her tongue stroking Callie's lower lip gently. Callie moaned into the kiss and deepened it even more. Their tongues were caressing each other as both women lost themselves in the kiss. Arizona broke off, panting slightly.

'Come on', she said, grabbing Callie's hand, intertwining their fingers and pulling her out of the apartment, 'I'd love to kiss you all day, but I don't want to be late.'


Evening, apartment 502, on the couch

'Stop it, Arizona!'

Callie giggled as she tried to push her wife away from her. Arizona didn't surrender easily though. She was peppering kisses all over Callie's face and neck, her hands digging into the brunette's sides.

'Stop it! Seriou...!' Callie burst into a fit of laughter as Arizona hit a sensitive spot on her belly.

'You're... making... me... pee!'

That seemed to do the trick, because Arizona's hands stilled quickly.

'Hearing you laugh is hot. You peeing: not that hot.'

The blonde smiled and kissed Callie on her cheek. 'I love this. Pretending to be a love-struck teenager. Having fun with you. I missed it so much.'

'I love it too. But we are supposed to look at houses, babe. I'm really excited about that too.'

'Ok then, miss Celibate'

'Miss? Did you forget we're married?' Callie feigned indignation, then smiled wickedly and added: 'By the way, I have very non-celibate-y plans with you tonight'.

'Then I guess I'll just have to be patient'

'Yep'

'Tease'

Callie smiled, happy with herself for having Arizona exactly where she wanted her. 'Let's pick out some houses to visit this week. We can call a broker tomorrow.' She focussed on the laptop on her lap again, which showed a website with houses in their neighbourhood. Arizona put an arm around her and snuggled up next to her on the couch. She tried to focus on the houses, but found herself drifting off, thinking about their delightful afternoon. After they had picked Sofia up, they went to a playground together. They joined Sofia on the swings, they acted like monkeys hanging in a massive climbing frame, and they played hide and seek. But the best thing, in Arizona's opinion, was when they were on the seesaw. Sofia was on her lap on one side, and Callie was on the other side. Seeing Callie's immensely happy face and hearing Sofia cheer every time she pushed her feet off the ground was amazing. Simply amazing. She smiled sheepishly, completely lost in her thoughts.

'Hey, I'm talking to you'

A finger prodded in her stomach and Arizona woke up from her daydream.

'Sorry, what?'

'I said, we should definitely visit this one, it looks lovely'. Callie pointed at the screen, at a beautiful house with the number '830' above the front door. 'But you are obviously not interested? What were you thinking about?'

'I was thinking about this afternoon. We were such a happy little family. Just like before the plane crash.'

'Yeah, it was amazing. Even though having lunch at McDonald's was probably not your best idea ever.'

'Sofia loved it'

'She did, but she didn't want to eat dinner anymore, which is super-unhealthy. We're doctors, we should give our child proper food.'

'Oh, come on, it's just one time, tomorrow we'll eat peas. Or carrots. Give her break, she's had a hard time too, with us being apart and all.'

'I guess you're right. I'm so glad we're back together.' Callie leaned in and kissed her wife.

'Me too.' Arizona flashed Callie a dimpled smile and turned her gaze to the laptop screen. 'You said that house was nice? Let me have a closer look.'

An hour later, they had made a list of houses they wanted to visit. They had also picked out a broker; they would call her tomorrow. Callie shut off her laptop and laid it on the coffee table. She pulled Arizona close to her and kissed her hard. Callie moaned as she moved her mouth to Arizona's earlobe, sucking on it.

'I want you.'

'Fuck. You're working me up. I want you too.'

Arizona meant to stand up, but Callie wouldn't let her.

'Sofia is sleeping in our bed, remember?'

'Crap, forgot about that...' Arizona pouted her lips in the cutest way. Callie smiled and kissed her wife again.

'You're so adorable sometimes'

'Sometimes?'

'Ok, all the time, happy now?'

'Not quite yet'

'Then what do you want?'

'You know what I want, MRS Tease. Too bad it can't happen tonight, our bed being occupied and all..'

Callie smiled mischievously.

'Just because we can't do it in the bed, doesn't mean we can't do it on the couch...'
