The next day Callie woke and decided to get hold of Meredith to mend some of those bridges see if they could do lunch.

Arizona had all sorts of things planned for Sofia a visit to her favourite pancake house for breakfast, then a trip to the park for the swings, with bread to feed the ducks and finally to the harbour for an ice cream and to watch all the boats, something the pair of them had enjoyed ever since Sofia was small. They finally arrived home late afternoon tired but happy. They settled down to watch a movie together snuggled up on the couch under a blanket. Sofia getting as close to Arizona as was humanly possible. The pair of them were loving it all but now resting Arizona's thoughts turned to Callie. She wondered what she'd been up to today? How she was feeling? Whether she should invite her over once Sofia had gone to bed? They could order in takeaway have a bottle of wine and just chat. It would be good to talk to her after all this time. But was it wise? No point in asking anyone's advice she knew what it would be. Sofia was nearly asleep on her so she moved her gently and grabbed her phone.

"Hi what are you doing tonight want to pop over for takeaway?" she text Callie.

Callie had not been back long in her hotel room having had a long lunch with Meredith and having been told in no uncertain terms what a bad friend she'd been of late to everyone and not under any circumstances to upset Arizona again. Meredith had told her that if she was only speaking to Arizona because things weren't going well with Penny then she should back off but if she realised now what a fool she'd been and that in fact she still loved Arizona then to tread very carefully. Callie felt like a scolded child but knew this was Meredith's way. They parted on reasonable terms but she could tell Meredith was still not happy with her. And now she had this text from Arizona she really wanted to go over but she just wasn't sure there was bound to be alcohol involved and she knew what the pair of them were like with that. One glass too many and she knew she would make a pass at Arizona and this new found friendship could be shattered. Still she was only here for 3 nights if she didn't start seeing her soon she would be back on the plane to NY before she knew it.

"Ok I'll bring wine. It will be nice to catch up x" she responded.

At 7.30 pm Callie arrived she was hoping that she might catch Sofia before she went to bed but discovered that she was already asleep it had been a long exciting day for her and having nearly fallen asleep in the movie they were watching Arizona made her some tea then bathed her got her ready for bed read her a story and she was asleep by 7. It just gave Arizona enough time to have a quick shower before Callie arrived. She had to admit to being a little excited at the thought of a whole evening with Callie but was wary of what this might mean or where it might lead.

Callie had stopped at a liquor store and got a couple of bottles of Arizona's favourite red wine which she handed to her as she entered the house. Arizona thanked her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. They went to the kitchen where Arizona found two wine glasses while Callie opened the wine.

"So I thought we'd have Chinese and I ordered it otherwise by the time you got here and we ordered I thought it would be quite late. Hope that's OK?" Arizona said.

"Great I love Chinese"

"I know" Arizona replied and smiled at Callie as if to say we were together 7 years I think I know what you like.

"So how was your day?"

"It was great, shall we go and sit down" And once sat down Arizona relayed all the things she and Sofia had done during the day.

"And how was yours?" Arizona enquired.

"Well I had a lazy morning and arranged to have lunch with Meredith"

Arizona was surprised but managed not to show it. She knew that Callie and Meredith had become quite close but after the whole court case scenario and her abrupt departure Meredith was pretty pissed with Callie. "And how did that go?"

"Well she was a bit off with me to begin with and told me in no uncertain terms what a bad friend I'd been and how badly I'd treated you but once I'd apologised for all that and explained how I felt she calmed down a bit and actually we had quite a good time"

"And how did you feel?"

"Gosh straight to it then Arizona"

"Well I'd quite like to know myself"

"Well obviously after the court case I was devastated. I know I treated you badly and I'm truly sorry for that and I think most people felt like I got what I deserved. I didn't know what to do, I was a mess, should I stay so I could still be near Sofia or should I go to be with Penny and then you turn up with Sofia and plane tickets and I just thought it was better if I just left without any fuss. And it appears that was wrong as people see it as me running away and not bothering with saying good-bye to anyone. Oh I don't know something like that anyway" Callie trailed off. "I just thought at the time it was best to go quickly. I knew I'd upset people and I don't know it was obviously not the right thing to do"

"Well that's your trouble Callie you don't really think. You didn't think about the effect the court case would have on everyone. You didn't think about how Sofia would feel being dragged across the country leaving behind all her friends. You didn't think about not being head of the department. You just rushed off to follow some woman that you'd only known a year. You just didn't think" Arizona was beginning to get angry now and if she wasn't careful all the hurt she'd been feeling over the past few months would come rushing out and that was not her intention.

Callie was a bit surprised at this sudden onslaught from Arizona but guessed she deserved it. What she wanted to do was take her in her arms, hold her and just tell her how sorry she was and what a big mistake she'd made, but she held back, she wasn't sure what she needed to do but one thing for certain it was far to early for that. She was now worried as they were on the 2nd bottle of wine and she didn't want to lose all control. Fortunately for her it was at that point that the Chinese arrived.

They ate the Chinese and after that initial exchange it seemed they were both happy to indulge in idle chit chat over dinner rather than explore anything too deep. They had just finished their meal and were clearing up when Arizona's phone went off, she answered without really looking the caller I.D.

"Arizona Robbins"

"Wow that's a bit formal"

"Oh hi sorry I thought it would be work" more often than not when her phone went off it was. The last person she thought it would be was Jessica.

"Well I thought I'd ring you to see how you were as we haven't been in contact for a few days and to see if we were still on for tomorrow night"

Oh crap thought Arizona with all the excitement about Sofia and to be honest Callie coming she had completely forgotten about her tentative arrangement for Saturday night with Jessica. She had also not mentioned to her that she had an ex-wife or daughter. Well they'd only been on a couple of dates.

"Mmm I'm sorry babe I've got to work tomorrow night it's been so busy this week. I should have contacted you but sorry I forgot"

"Ok no worries I just wondered. What have you been up to then?" Jessica cheerily asked.

"Well just work really. Look to be honest I'm knackered and just about to go to bed. Can I ring you in the week?"

"Yeah fine. I'll probably go down the club tomorrow night so if you finish early you know where I'll be" she added teasingly.

"Ok I'll speak soon bye"

Callie had been listening to half this conversation and had a sinking feeling in her stomach. Arizona had got someone. Of course why shouldn't she? But how ironic all the time that she'd been here with Penny, Arizona had no one else. Now she'd moved away only to find that she missed Arizona and realised that leaving her had been the biggest mistake of her life and Arizona had found someone else.

"Who was that?" Callie asked as casually as she could.

"Oh it's just someone I met in a bar a while ago"

"You've got someone that's great" Callie tried to sound as enthusiastic as possible.

"It's nothing serious just casual we've only been out a couple of times. And as you can tell from the conversation I haven't told her about you or Sofia hence the lie"

"I did wonder. Well hey it's getting late I should order a cab and get back to my hotel"

"It's not that late and you can lie in tomorrow remember. Why don't you have a night cap I've got some Baileys somewhere" Arizona had really enjoyed the evening and wasn't quite ready to let it finish. She also felt that Callie had been a bit disappointed when she realised that Arizona might have someone which was quite encouraging.

"You're right I guess I should make the most of being able to stay out late and not have to get up in the morning. Ok break out the Baileys"

And with that Arizona went to find the bottle. One glass turned into several and they spent the rest of the evening in convivial conversation, laughing and joking and reminiscing over the past. It was just like old times. It was gone midnight before Callie finally ordered her cab. Neither of them could remember when they'd had such a fun evening. As Callie got to the door she turned round to Arizona gave her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek thanked her for dinner and left. She needed to go quickly before she went too far. Arizona smiled to herself she had really enjoyed the evening but wondered what lay ahead.
