Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed! I got back from my Track and Field meet and decided to write this chapter and worry about my homework later, so I hope you all enjoy it!

I don't own any of the characters on Grey's Anatomy.


Calliope is FINALLY waking up.

"Someone page Dr. Shepherd please, Callie's waking up."

"Cal? Calliope, open those gorgeous eyes for me please." Arizona said while she started crying out of happiness.

It took about a minute before Callie's eyelids started fluttering and she opened her eyes completely, gazing into her girlfriend's beautiful blue eyes. She was relatively calm; Arizona always had that effect on her, that was until she realized that she still had a tube in her throat.

"Hey hey hey, calm down Cal. Shepherd is coming in a minute and he'll take the tube out, alright? God, I missed you." She quietly added as she placed a loving kiss on Calliope's forehead.

Callie started to calm down again, it was so good to see Arizona's face again, she didn't know how long it had been since they last talked to each other. Then, Derek walked in with a big grin on his face, glad to see his favorite orthopedic surgeon alive and well.

"Welcome back Dr. Torres, we've missed you. Now, on the count of three, I want you to cough and I'll take the tube out, alright? You know the drill."


"Ar-iz-ona." Was the first thing that came out of her mouth once the tube was removed. After she got some water, she felt a million times better than she did before she passed out about 5 days ago.

"Hi baby, it's so good to see you awake. I was so worried that you weren't gonna come back to me." Arizona said as she started sobbing while holding Callie's hand to her heart.

"Hey, I will ALWAYS come back to you, that is something that you don't have to worry about. Come here." She said affectionately while pulling Arizona into as much of a hug that she could participate in since she was still lying in a bed.

Callie had been awake for about an hour and Arizona had cried herself to sleep in Callie's arms, while Callie rubbed circles on her back. She missed the closeness of Arizona sleeping next to her at night. The whole week that she was in Malawi was awful; she couldn't sleep for very long at a time without Arizona.

A few minutes after Arizona fell asleep, Mark Sloan walked in and sat down in a chair next to Callie's bed.


"How ya feelin' Cal?"

"I'm alright, thanks. How's the baby though? And what happened to me? I didn't have a chance to ask Arizona before she broke down."

Mark explained everything to her, and the more he kept going, the more she wanted him to stop. She wasn't worried about herself; she was worried about her baby, and leaving Arizona alone, as well as the rest of her family.

"How long was I out for Mark? And I want to talk to Lucy and get some more information about being as healthy as I can with eclampsia."

"You were put into a coma for about 4 days, and I'll page Fields later and she can come and talk to you. It's a boy. And he's such a fighter Cal." Mark said as he spewed out facts with complete pride in his eyes about their future son.

"It's a boy? Oh, that's so amazing. I'm glad that he's alright for now! You better stay in there until your due date little man." She added to her now known son.

"Cal? Oh you're awake. Finally. I was SO worried! How do you feel?"

"Aria? I didn't know that you were here!"

"Yeah, well you wouldn't, now would you? You know, since you've been in a coma and all."

"Right, you smartass. Now get over here and give your big sister a hug. I missed you!"

"Well I could say the same Callie!"

"Well, I'll leave you two to catch up; I'll stop back in later Cal. Page me if you need something." Mark said as Callie nodded.

"When was the last time she slept?" Callie asked Aria, while gesturing to Arizona who was out cold and curled up in Callie's arms. Well, as curled up in her arms as she could be, since there was a baby bump in the way.


"I don't know, she hasn't even gone home in like 5 days, so she probably hasn't gotten a lot of sleep."

"Well hopefully Bailey doesn't walk in and catch her sleeping up here, otherwise there will be hell to pay for sure." They both got a laugh out of that, even though Aria didn't know who Bailey was.

Arizona woke up about 8 hours later; Callie had visited with Mark, her sister, her parents, Dr. Bailey and Dr. Fields while she was asleep. Dr. Bailey was willing to ignore the fact that she was sleeping on Callie's bed with her, just this once though. It was the most rested she had felt in 5 days and she was so happy to see Callie looking down at her with an adorable smirk on her face.

"Did you have a good nap baby?"

"Yeah, I did. I'm sorry, I didn't want to fall asleep on you though, we haven't gotten to talk in like a week. It was awful."

Callie chuckled at the pout that was on Arizona's face and quickly gave her a sweet kiss on the lips, which caused Arizona to break out her smile for the first time in days, dimples and all.

"I love you, you know?"

"I love you too Calliope. And you too kiddo," she added while she rubbed Callie's baby belly, "you both scared the crap out of me and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't do it again."

"Don't worry, we won't. I promise. You're stuck with me for the rest of our lives." Callie added with a lovesick grin on her face, now she knows what Cristina is talking about when she says that she and Arizona are so in love that it's sickening.

"Now that is what I like to hear."


A few hours later

"Hey Cal, Blondie, do you ladies need anything before I go home for the night?"

"Can I actually take to you for a few minutes, please? Alone."

"Sure, not a problem."

"Well, on that note, I guess I'll go check on some patients or something. I'll be back in about an hour." She left after giving Callie a quick peck on the lips and giving Mark a pat on the shoulder.

"So, what's up?"

"Well now that we know it's a boy, I was thinking about names. I know that biologically he's our child, but I would like it if he was Arizona's baby also. You know, like he'll have two moms and one dad, is that okay with you?" She asked hesitantly.

"Of course that's okay, I know how happy she makes you, so I say let her be the kids other mom, it can't hurt him. If anything, she'll be the best parent out of the three of us."

"Haha, that's probably true. But, thank you, that means a lot to me, to us. Now, back to the subject of names…"

"What are your thoughts?"

"I think that we should name him Daniel Marcus Sloan. Daniel, after Arizona's brother who died in Iraq, and Marcus, after you. What do you think? Tell me the truth."

"I think that sounds perfect, honestly. Daniel Marcus Sloan, it's a nice strong name and Arizona will be honored, just like I am."

"Good, I'm glad. And I want to put it in my will that if something happens to me, I still want her to raise him with you. I have to be strong for Arizona and my family, but realistically, if I don't make it and Daniel does, I want him to have Arizona for a mom and you for a dad."

"Alright Callie, I'll call your lawyer and have him draw up the new will this week. And if something happens to me too, I want her to get full custody of him. So I'll change my papers as well." He added with tears in his eyes, not ready to think about something happening to his best friend/baby mama.

"Thanks Mark." Callie said with sincerity, it meant the world to her that he was reacting this way.


"Hey honey, how are all of your patients doing?"

"They're all doing well, they said to tell you to get well soon. Sorry that I was gone for a long time, but they all wanted to make you cards." She said as she set a big box of 'Get Well Soon' cards on the table in Callie's room.

"So what did you have to talk to Mark about?" She asked, curiosity finally getting the best of her.

"It was about the baby actually. I thought of the perfect name if it's okay with you?" Arizona just nodded, urging her to continue.

"Daniel Marcus Sloan."

"What?" Arizona asked as she sat down in the nearest chair with tears already starting to stream down her face.

Hope you liked this chapter! Let me know what you think!
