With four cigarettes gone and no sign of Calliope coming outside to talk she headed back inside.
"Calliope, where are you?" No reply, as she wasn't in the kitchen there was only one other place Callie would be.
"Callie, you know I don't like it, but I will come up there if I have too" the in house gym, built in the loft space, up the main stairs and once again up another set of narrower stairs was tricky for Arizona, she would walk up the main stairs, walk down the hall,remove her prosthetic and move up the stairs backwards.
"I'm coming up" Arizona said as she removed her leg and began to negotiate her way up the stairs.
Reaching the top of the stairs, Arizona saw why there was a lack of response, Callie's $300 sound cancelling headphones which she got as a gift from a patient were firmly placed on her head, blaring music so loud Arizona could almost hear every word.
Lifting herself up and sitting on weight bench to Callie's left she said nothing.
Callie was running as fast as she could on the treadmill, sweat pouring over her body, Arizona was unsure if she had even noticed her presence.
Slowing her pace and steadying her breathing Callie positioned herself on the exercise bike to face Arizona.
" I have two questions, firstly, can you stop looking at me like that? I cannot be angry with you when I know you are undressing me with your eyes."
"Secondly, can you just give me some fucking space, I left you to smoke your cigarettes and think about your stupid suggestions, and what do I get, harassment, in my own gym." Callie roared at Arizona.
Anger building up inside her, Arizona began to shout back, "Callie, that was over an hour ago, I understand this takes time, and I know you are shocked,but let me in, let me understand how you feel because right now you just sound downright spoilt" she stopped for breath, but quickly continued so Callie couldn't speak.
"It's like you always want something to hold over me, to make me jealous about, to protect me."
"My leg, my miscarriage,Mark,being fucking pregnant."
"If you didn't know, I am 36 years old, double board certified in general and paediatric surgery , I also run my own maternal-fatal practice, am a board member of one of Americas most innovative and profitable hospitals, all whilst being married to you and bringing up our child. I failed to mention I was in a plane crash, lost my leg, watched a friend die and yet I was still the youngest paediatric head of surgery in the entire US, do you really think I need to be protected Callie?"
Callie sat gobsmacked at her wifes outburst. "Wow, that's busy Arizona, how are you going to maintain that whilst being pregnant?" Callie questioned sarcastically.
"I can take a break when the baby is born, focus on research, write all the journal entries and papers I haven't done, and whilst pregnant, lighten my load at work, do more clerical work for the board. Alex is due back in 3 months, he can oversee my practice for a while."
"I'm serious about this Callie,I have been for a while, I just didn't know how to tell you,I thought if we agreed on Mark together, we could both agree to this, but obviously not" Arizona said with sadness pouring across her face.
Callie was trying to avoid saying that she was trying to protect Arizona from more heartbreak as she knew it would only make it worse. But she didn't know what else to say she was devastated, so much so that, Arizona cheated on her last time she lost a baby, Callie couldn't go through that again, hell she wouldn't put herself through that again.
"should we go downstairs to talk, I don't think a sweaty gym is the best place to discuss our baby" Callie said as she headed towards Arizona.
Saying nothing Arizona stood up and grabbed hold of her wifes hands for support.
"I know you don't always need me to help you, but…" Before Callie could finish her sentence she had picked Arizona up and lifted her over her shoulder. Negotiating the narrow staircase, Callie continued to their bedroom and threw Arizona onto the bed.
She was turned on, she couldn't help it, her wife was evidently angry and in no mood for sex but she couldn't help to think it may reduce the tension between the two of them.
Leaning over the bed Callie placed a kiss on the small section of Arizona's exposed skin on her stomach.
"Want me to come up or go down" Callie indicated to her wife, silence.
Callie took it upon herself to move upwards, peeling of Arizona bed shirt and finding her beautiful breasts.
Placing on hand on her wifes breast and using her other hand to lift herself up she was now sat across Arizona's middle, stoking, feeling, kissing her wifes breast, Arizona couldn't help be acknowledge her wifes presence.
Leaning forward Arizona met her wifes lips, together the couple engaged in a rough kiss, minutes went by, the two separated and Arizona removed her wifes sweaty sports bra.
With this Callie moved herself down Arizona's exposed chest and stomach, the sweat tingling Arizona's body she couldn't help but groan.
Removing her track pants, Callie massaged her wifes residual limb, moving her hand up and down her thighs Callie teased her wife.
Almost trembling with want, Arizona forced out "do it Callie"
Feeling her wifes wet core, Callie traced circles around Arizona's centre with the thumb, she felt Arizona move, now holding one hand on the the headboard and the other on Callie's shoulder, Callie placed two fingers into her centre, a rhythmic tension between Arizona and Calliope occurred. As this deepened, the Latina felt her wifes nailed dig into her back, feeling her wife close to the edge Callie began to use her tongue to circle her wifes clit.
Jolting forward Arizona came,panting, breathing heavily she collapsed backward on the bed.
Gaining composure Arizona gestured for her wife to join her, Callie laid on her back next to her wife.
"Cal, I will always love you, even when we were apart, I still loved you, you know that don't you."
"I know, Zo, I just don't want us to end up like we were, unable to be in the same room as each other, Christ, I want you to have a baby more than anything, yet selfishly, I'm thinking about me, I was a mess when we weren't together, a mess at work, a poor mother, I need you"
Callie didn't like showing emotion, but she couldn't hide this, tears streaming down her face, sobbing into Arizona's shoulder, all the blonde could do was hold her wife, hold her until she could continue to speak.
"So Zo, I know this could be so hard for us, but we're stronger, better people, if you want a baby, you can have a baby."
Looking at Callie. Arizona couldn't stop smiling, it was infectious, soon the smile spread over Callie. The two fell asleep, dreaming of their growing family.
