- Two weeks later –
Callie's surgery had gone well and she had recovered quickly. She was getting ready for her first day back at work the next day but just as she put her pyjamas on her phone buzzed – 'Az is REALLY drunk. I have surgery. Plz go see her. Teddy x'
Not wanting to waste any time Calliope put on her trench coat and some boots and headed down to Joe's.
"Arizona" Callie called as she walked towards the bar. "Calliope! Come drink!" Arizona grinned, obviously drunk. "I'm pregnant – I can't drink. Come on let's get you out of here" Callie said as she grabbed Arizona's hand. "Hey! I might be a bit tipsy, but I'm not easy!" Arizona laughed as she pulled her hand away. "Arizona, please come with me. I have to work tomorrow" Callie groaned. "You go, I want to have a few more drinks" Arizona said quietly as her smile faded into sadness and a single tear appeared in her left eye. Callie decided it was best if she just sat with Arizona for a little while longer. "Do you still love me?" Arizona asked after a few minutes silence. "Yes" Callie practically whispered. "Do you still love me?" Callie asked, too scared to look up. "Of course!" Arizona laughed. "Why didn't you fight harder?" Callie asked as she looked into Arizona's eyes with now appeared a darker shade of blue than usual. "Would it have mattered? Your mother and Mark both told me I would ruin your life if you went to Malawi. I thought I could stay in Africa and forget about you. But I couldn't stop crying and missing you. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't breathe without you! So I got on a plane and came back. But you were with Mark and you said you were happy. Then I find out you're pregnant and I'm just supposed to be okay with all of this. I'm not allowed an opinion because we're not together anymore. I've never wanted to be with someone as badly as I want to be with you. I never thought love would be like this. I thought love was easy and rainbows and unicorns instead it's just hurt. It's watching the woman you love be with someone else and pretending it's not killing you inside. So I put on a smile and pretend to be happy and then I go home and I drink and I cry until I pass out. I became friends with you because although it hurts to be so close to you and not be your girlfriend it hurts more to not be around you at all" Arizona was cut off by lips crashing into hers. Arizona unwillingly pulled back. "Calliope, you're not a cheater and neither am I. I think I need to get out of here" Arizona suddenly felt a lot more sober. "You're right. But I'm not letting you go home by yourself" Callie said as she stood and held her hand out to help Arizona up.
- 15 minutes later –
When they reached Arizona's apartment it was nearly 2:00am and Callie was exhausted. "Do you mind if I stay here tonight?" Callie asked as she watched Arizona struggle to remove her shoes. "Sure" Arizona mumbled sleepily. "Let me help you" Callie said as she made her way over to Arizona. Callie managed to get Arizona into a blue singlet top and down to her black lace panties before she was sleeping on her bed. Callie removed her own shoes and coat before hopping in behind Arizona. Arizona turned to face Callie. "Do you always come prepared?" Arizona said as she eyed Callie's pyjamas. "No, I was getting ready for bed and couldn't be bothered changing" Callie laughed. It wasn't long before both women were asleep.
- The next morning –
Callie awoke before Arizona and decided she would make a greasy breakfast for the blond who was sure to have a pounding headache. When Callie opened the fridge door she was disappointed to find the only ingredients Arizona had was milk, bacon, poundcake, beer and butter. So Callie decided that coffee and bacon would have to do.
While Callie waited for the kettle to boil she opted to clean up Arizona's apartment a little. As she picked up the jeans that Arizona was wearing the previous night two crumpled sheets fell out. When Callie picked them up she noticed they were both sonogram pictures – one from Callie's first scan and the other was from Callie's latest ultrasound. Callie was startled by a loud bang from the bedroom so she shoved the pictures back into Arizona's jeans, put them on the floor and headed to the kitchen.
"Morning sleepyhead" Callie smiled when Arizona finally walked out of the bedroom – still clad only in her singlet and panties. "Morning" Arizona mumbled as she rubbed her head. "I made bacon and coffee for you" Callie said as she placed Arizona's breakfast on the bar. "Thanks" Arizona said as she took a sip of her coffee. "Not that I'm not happy to see you, but what are you doing here so early?" Arizona said after a few mouthfuls of bacon. "Uh I slept here…Do you remember anything from last night?" Callie said hesitantly. "No. Should I?...Oh God did we do something?" Arizona panicked. "No it's fine. Arizona you're not a cheater" Callie smiled as she quoted what the blond has said the night before. "Good" Arizona smiled as relief washed over her. "Did I do or say anything last night that I shouldn't have?" Arizona asked. "No, you were fine. I have to go to work now. Have a good day" Callie said as she wrapped her coat around herself and headed for the door. "Thank you" Arizona said as she followed. "Anytime" Callie said before giving Arizona a kiss on the cheek and leaving.
