Thank you for all of the reviews, favorites, and follows. I'm glad I was able to update sooner than I have previously. I have a lot of extra time on my hands now, so that's good. I hope the story makes sense, I was really sleepy and had a couple of glasses of wine. Oops.

I will be adding a semi-funny g-ma to this story but she won't be as funny as Betty, trust... Anyway, happy readings.

Callie POV

"I heard you guys are leaving for the airport in three hours." Mark handed me a cup of coffee as he spoke. It was seven o'clock in the morning and I had already performed two emergency surgeries. "Why are you still here?"

"Yeah… surgery" I took a drink of the hot liquid. "I'm all packed and ready to go. She's picking me up pretty shortly. I have to go change. I'll see you in a week." I hugged my best friend then made my way to the attending locker room.

As I walked to my cubby, I heard my phone ring. "Hello." I picked up quickly.

"Calliope, hi." Arizona breathed through the phone. "I'll be in front of the hospital in about twenty minutes."

"Perfect. I'm changing right now. I should be out just in time." I said as I rid myself of my shoes and my dark blue scrub bottoms. "You have my suitcase, right?"

"Super. And yes, everything is in the trunk. I just have to grab the tickets and I should be on my way." She stated.

"That'll take you twenty minutes?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"I have to stop by and get some magazines." She admitted and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah, those…" I shook my head. I was never a fan. "Oh, would you get me a Seattle Magazine…it features Seattle's top doctors."

"Absolutely." She stated. "I'll see you soon. Bye." She hung up.

I finished getting ready and made my way outside.

"Callie." I heard Arizona say as I approached the end of the sidewalk. "Hurry. It's about to rain." She ushered me into the car.

I was pretty good at talking myself in and out of things but I couldn't talk myself out of being nervous to meet Arizona's parents. Part of it had to do with the fact that we were lying to her family, but the other part was because I genuinely wanted them to like me.

"Ready?" I asked the blonde haired surgeon as the plane took off.

"Not really." She closed her eyes and clenched and her knees. "I hate this part."

Smiling to myself, I took one of her hands and held on to it tightly. "Just breathe."

She took a deep breath then opened her eyes. "Talk to me." She looked over at me.

"Okay." I wracked my brain for something to say. "When I was twelve years old, my cousin and I used to steal condoms from the store and fill them up with balloons and throw them at people."

Arizona opened one eye and looked at me like I was crazy. "You're serious?"

"Yes." I nodded. "Now you tell me something."

"Okay." She pursed her lips. "I went through this phase where I would look up women's skirts when I was really young."

"Really?" I looked over at her.

"Really." She whispered. A few minutes later and we were sailing through the sky smoothly.

"Ohh, ask her for some scotch." Arizona pointed to the woman that was walking through the isle with a food cart.

"You drink when you fly?" I shook my head as she raised her eyebrows at me.

"You don't?" She challenged.

"I do…sometimes." I shrugged and looked down the aisle. "I think I'll have one too."

"Atta girl." Arizona stretched her arms above her head. I couldn't help but look down at her stomach which was exposed. As I licked my lips, I pictures running my lips over her fair colored skin.

"Can I get you ladies anything?" The flight attendant asked as she approached our seats.

"Yes, can I get two glasses of scotch, please." Arizona chimed in before I had the chance.

"Sure." She smiled at Arizona. After getting our drinks, the woman once again smiled at Arizona and wheeled past us.

"I'm in that magazine." The blonde pointed to the magazine on my lap.

"Really?" I smiled at her. "That's awesome."

"It's okay." She shrugged like it wasn't a big deal.

"Do you know what page?" I asked as I flipped through the pages.

"I don't know." She shifted so that she could see the magazine with me. As she did this, our arms rubbed together and I took a deep breath to steady myself. I could smell her coconut shampoo as her hair fell onto my shoulder. "This okay?"

"Y-yes." I nodded as I looked down at the colorful pages.

"Oh!" She stated a little louder than she intended to, "There I am."

"Wow, nice picture." I bit my lip. "You look really hot."

"Yeah…" She looked at herself. "I do."

After taking my eyes off of the picture, I noticed there was a little bit of information about her. About halfway through the paragraph, my eyes shot up. "You helped with the first robotic surgery on a child?"

"Yeah… Well my attending did, but I helped as much as he'd allow."

"That's so cool. That has helped so many kids…you don't even know…well you do know…but wow…" I opened my mouth in awe, "you are so cool." I finished as she began to laugh. "How awesome did you feel?"

"Thanks." She blushed. "I did feel awesome. It was an amazing experience."

A few hours of small talk later, the plane had pulled up to its terminal. "Have everything?" I asked as we started walking toward the front of the plane.

Nodding, Arizona slowly made her way up front. As we got closer, the flight attendant stopped Arizona with a hand to her shoulder.

"I know this is a little forward, but you're beautiful." She stated boldly. I could feel the anger rising inside of me.

Arizona looked as surprised as I did. "Thanks." She smiled then looked back at me with an apologetic smile.

"Can I give you my number?" She asked. There were a few people behind us that sighed heavily as we blocked their exits.

"Uhh…" The blonde bit her lip. "I'm sorry but this is my fiancée." She pointed at me. The woman's eyes went wide as I gave her a mega watt smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She looked embarrassed. "I didn't know."

"Not a problem." My fake fiancée lightly smiled and proceeded to exit the aircraft. Once we were out of the terminal and into the actual airport, I stopped Arizona by grabbing her lightly by the arm.

"You could have taken her number." I shrugged. "You won't hurt my feelings." I stated a little too roughly. I hated the fact that Arizona wasn't actually mine. It frustrated me to no end.

"No, that's okay. I really didn't want it." She stopped abruptly. It almost seemed as if she was going to say something else but thought against it.

"I just want you to know that if you find someone that you are interested in, don't let me stop you." I felt like crying as the words left my mouth.

"I promise you that will not happen." She looked around the airport. "We should go."

"Put your ring in your pocket." I told her before we started walking again. We had decided to keep them hidden until we knew how we would tell her family about us.

"Arizona!" We heard someone yell from somewhere behind us. Turning quickly, I caught a glimpse of a blonde haired man with a woman standing next to him.

"Right there." Arizona pointed as she, too, spotted her brother. "Come on." We picked up our things and started walking.

"Come here little sister." Tim smiled as he enveloped his sister in a big hug. "God, I've missed you." He stated into her hair.

"Oh, how I have missed you." Arizona replied sincerely. I hadn't ever seen her like this. It was beautiful.

Once they let go of each other, Tim turned toward me. "Tim, I'd like you to meet Calliope, my fiancée." The blonde woman smiled lovingly. I couldn't help but smile in return.

"Nice to meet you." I held out my hand.

"You too." Tim smiled at me and shook my hand. "She's beautiful." Her brother took his eyes off of me and placed them on his sister, winking quickly with a smirk on his face.

"Hey Tara." Arizona gave her a hug. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you too." The tall red head smiled.

Arizona POV

I was so happy to see my brother and Tara again. It had been way too long. Growing up, my brother and I only really had each other, which allowed us to become incredibly close to one another. He was always there for me, he never judged me, and he never once flinched when I told him about my sexuality. He was excited that he didn't have to fend off any boys, and loved that he could talk to me about girls.

After introducing Calliope to Tim and Tara, we made our way to the car. Within half an hour we were pulling up to my childhood home. My parents weren't rich by any means, but they did have a very big house because it was the house my mother grew up in and had been paid off long ago. My nana inherited the house from her rich father and it had stayed in the family ever since. The house was old but it had been remodeled when I was around 16.

"My little girl is here." My mother yelled from the porch as we got out of the car. I could hear her footsteps approaching us.

"Oh baby." She breathed out as her hands wrapped around me. "I've missed you so much." I could tell she was trying not to cry.

"I've missed you, too." I held her tight. I loved my mother more than anything in the world. "So much."

After holding her in my arms for a few seconds too many, I released her and moved toward where Calliope was standing, looking a little out of place.

"Mom, this is Callie Torres." I stepped out of the way so that they could embrace.

"You're stunning, honey." My mom grabbed Callie by the shoulders as they pulled apart. "Welcome to the family." Calliope blushed slightly and smiled, saying 'thank you'.

"Where's Nana?" I was eager to see my grandmother.

"She's out playing the slots." Barbara shook her head.

"Where's my favorite daughter?" I heard my father call.

"Here I am." I squealed and ran to my dad. After hugging, I once again introduced the stunning ortho surgeon.

My father never hugged anyone he didn't know, so it was a surprise to me when he hugged Calliope. "It's nice to meet you Callie."

"It's nice to meet you, too, sir." She swallowed then smiled.

"Let's get you girls inside and washed up. The party starts in just a few hours and you need to get ready." Mom stated as we walked toward the house.

"What party?" I asked.

"The party we're having tonight. Some family members are coming over to celebrate the engagement, and they've missed you Arizona, they want to see you…and you're girlfriend." She winked at Calliope.

"Ugh." I sighed and looked at Callie.

"I'm kind of excited." She shrugged. I could tell that since her meeting with my parents and brother went well, that she wasn't as nervous anymore. I was glad. I grabbed her hand in mine as we were shown to our room.

"Are you still nervous?" I asked Calliope as we were left to freshen up before the party. She shook her head no. "I told you everything would go well. They like you."

"I'm so glad." She blew out air from her lips as she sat down on the bed. "I'm surprised they're letting us sleep in the same bed. My parents would never let that happen."

"We're grown up." I sat down next to her. "Plus, they should know that we have sex." As the words left my mouth Calliope turned to look at me and laughed lightly.

"Well, you know what I mean…We don't, but they think we do…" I stopped.

"I get it. I was just teasing." She put her hand on my thigh and without thinking I put my hand over hers as we leaned into each other.

A few seconds passed and the beautiful brunette cleared her throat. "We should get showered and changed." I nodded and let go of her hand.

"Yeah." I stood as she did. "You can go first." Grabbing her things, she went into the bathroom and closed the door. I wanted so badly to go in there with her but I knew that I couldn't. I had a feeling that she had something on her mind since the night of the prom, but she never brought it up again and I didn't know how to bring it back up. A part of me thought that if she really wanted to tell me something, she'd have told me by now. We had spent time together after the prom, but she never said another word about it, so I left it alone.

"Is everyone decent?" My brother asked as he knocked on the door.

"Yeah, come in." I sat back down on my bed.

"You excited for the party?" He crossed his arms and stood by the doorway, leaning up against the frame.

"Kind of." I shrugged. "It'll be nice to see some family and friends."

"You're nervous that she'll be here." Tim approached me then rolled on the balls of his feet.

"I'm over her." I looked up at him, hoping that he would believe me.

"You don't have to worry, she's not coming." He could see that I visibly relaxed at his words. "You and Callie make a great couple"

"Thanks. I think so, too." I smiled at the mention of the woman currently wet in the shower.

"Alright, well I'll see you downstairs." He squeezed my shoulder then left.

A few minutes later I heard Calliope calling my name from the bathroom.

"What's up?" I asked as I peered through the steam filled room. I could only make out the beautiful Latina's silhouette behind the steamed glass door.

"Uh…" She stepped out of the shower and came a little closer. "Are your eyes closed?" She asked then chuckled. I furrowed my eyebrows at her strange question.

"Yes?" I questioned. "You know, I'm your fiancée, I should be able to see you naked." I teased, eyes wide open, hoping to see at least a little side boob.

Calliope chuckled lightly once again as she kept walking closer to the door. I was able to see things clearer by the second. "I need a towel."

I stepped away from the door as I heard her move even closer. I was not usually this nervous to be potentially viewing a woman's body, but it was Calliope. She was like a goddess.

"I need a towel." She stated again as I pushed some strands of hair behind my ears and gulped audibly.

"You'll get your towel as soon as you come out here." I couldn't believe what I was saying but I knew she was getting closer. It was only a matter of time before I saw everything. Just the thought of seeing Calliope naked was turning me on like nothing else. I could feel wetness pooling between my legs and I had to laugh at myself for allowing her to influence me this much. Before I could think another thought, naked Callie was pushing the bathroom door all the way open.

"I'm out here." She gave me a mega watt smile like she knew exactly what she was doing to me.

Adjusting my eyes to the disappearing steam, I blinked rapidly. Once my eyes stilled, I looked her in those dark, beautiful, brown eyes. I was too scared to look down at her body. I didn't know if I was allowed to. As I stared deeper into her eyes, I could see that she was getting a little nervous, herself. Not wanting her to think that I didn't want to see her naked, I pulled my eyes away from her and slowly looked down at her lips, then her tantalizing, smooth neck. As I moved down to her chest, I could feel butterflies forming in my stomach. Her breasts were big and perky. I licked my lips as I kept staring at them; I never wanted to look away. I had to make sure I didn't move a muscle because I was scared that if I did, I'd pounce on her. I finally moved my eyes away from her perfect breasts and raked my eyes over her tan stomach. Her skin seemed to glow as I watched her. Her hips were begging for me to touch them, but I stayed rooted in place and kept looking further down. As I reached the space between her legs, I had to stifle a moan as wetness increased between my legs. "Beautiful." I couldn't help but say as I looked at the small amount of curls over her pubic bone. Seeing that wasn't enough for me, I wanted to pull her onto the bed and spread her legs. I wanted to explore her folds and get to know every single part of her. I quickly moved on, knowing we would be in trouble if I kept staring. I was always a leg woman, and Calliope did not disappoint. She had amazing legs and I could easily picture them wrapped around my head. She shifted slightly and it brought me back to reality. I snapped my head up to her eyes and cleared my throat.

"You know, you are kind of making me a little self-conscious." She smiled sheepishly.

"No." I shook my head and took a few steps toward her. "Never feel self-conscious."

"Arizona." The goddess looked into my eyes. "I-"

"Ladies, are you all set?" We heard a knock as my mother spoke from the other side of my bedroom door.

Without taking my eyes off of Calliope's, I smiled. "Yeah."

"Great." She spoke. "People are starting to arrive."

"Okay." My eyes never left the woman in front of me until it was too much to take.

"You have yet to shower." She looked down at her hands while I kept my eyes to the right of her.

"I'll be okay." I looked back at her and smiled. "I can shower later."

"Okay." She smiled back and turned to walk back into the bathroom.

Stealing a glance at her plump ass, I pursed my lips. "Nice."

"I heard that." She said. I couldn't help but laugh. "Now, how about that towel?

Callie POV

As we made our way downstairs, I kept looking over at Arizona. I couldn't believe what had happened up in her room. I couldn't believe that I let her see all of me. I was always comfortable with my body, but letting Arizona see me was kind of a big deal. I wasn't sure what came over me, but it was hot seeing her staring at me exposed. Her eyes looked hungry and I loved the sight. It had really turned me on.

I'm not sure I knew what game we were playing but we had gotten considerably more comfortable around each other as the days went by.

After being introduced to about 20 unfamiliar faces, Arizona and I went into the kitchen to grab a couple of drinks.

"So I should tell them that we're engaged." She stated as she looked for wine in the fridge.

"All of them…out there…" I took a deep breath. "What do you think they'll say?" I was nervous again. "You have a really cute butt." I digressed. I couldn't help but stare.

She jumped up quickly and turned toward me. "Not now." She scolded. "I don't know what they'll say. My dad has this thing…well, rather a book full of questions."

"Okay?" I was confused. Arizona leaned her back against the counter and folded her arms in front of her. I stood next to her, waiting for her reply.

"He's going to ask you five questions that he randomly picks out of this stupid book full of stupid questions, and if you miss one…one…he won't give us his blessing." The blonde sucked in her lower lip as my face turned white. "But don't worry…you'll pass."

"Will I?" I shook my head. "I don't know everything about you. That would take years."

"Well, let's hope you know enough." Arizona went back into the fridge and pulled out a bottle of wine. "We should get out there."

"Yeah…" I nodded. I was more nervous than I had been in a long time. Arizona poured the wine quickly as I became increasingly anxious.

"Is she here?" I heard someone from another room, state. As we walked into the main living room, Arizona's eyes went wide.

"Hold this." She handed me her glass and ran out of the room. A minute later she entered with her left had around an old woman.

"Nana, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Callie." They approached me and all I could do was smile. All of these introductions were beginning to be too much.

"Oh, well aren't you precious." Arizona's grandmother squinted at me.

"Thank you." I smiled. "It's nice to meet you."

"I know." She nodded then turned back to the peds surgeon. "I'll be right back. I won some money tonight and I need to put it in safe keeping."

An hour and a lot of glasses of wine later, I was feeling a little tipsy. I had mingled with just about everyone at the party. "Arizona." I came to stand next to my fiancée. "When are you going to tell them?" I whispered into her ear.

"Right now." She nodded and finished off her glass of wine then set it on the table unceremoniously. "Put your ring on." We both did. Looking around the room, we had a fairly good view of everyone in the house.

"Uh…Can I- Can I have everyone's attention please?" Her voice was shaky but she smiled beautifully nonetheless. As everyone stopped talking and turned to her, she looked at me and intertwined our fingers. "Calliope and I have…uh…we have some news."

I looked around the room and noticed her mother smiling, but her dad had his eyebrows furrowed. I swallowed hard as his eyes met mine. They were unreadable. I quickly looked away and found her grandmother's eyes instead, which were narrowed and I chuckled nervously as I waited for Arizona to continue.

"We're getting married." She lifted her hand up to display the ring.

"Well of course you're getting married. Do you think she's stupid?" Nana asked loudly as she shrugged. Arizona's father put his hands on her shoulders.

"Congratulations, baby." Her mother stated as she walked over to us and gave both of us a hug. Everyone else in the room cheered.

After the hugging was done, her father came up to us, looking each one in the eye. "You two, my office, now."

As we followed him, I kept a straight face and I could sense that Arizona was looking at me, but I kept looking forward and kept telling myself to breathe.

"Stand back there." He motioned to the blonde. "You sit." He looked at me then pointed to a chair that was in front of his desk. Daniel Robbins walked behind his desk and pulled out a small book. After looking it over, he sat down and looked at me.

"You want to marry my daughter?" He asked sternly, his eyes cold.

I swallowed then nodded. "Yes sir."

"Okay." He took his eyes off of me and looked down at the book. "You just have to answer a couple of questions." Opening the book to a random page, he put a finger on a line and smiled. "What is your most treasured memory of Arizona?"

Feeling a bit panicked, I racked my brain for something to say. The look on his face wasn't helping matters. "Uh…let's see…" I stalled until I smiled. I knew what to say. "It was a night like any other night. We had both gotten off work and needed to relax. Arizona went and picked up Chinese for us. We were both wearing sweatpants, but I remember thinking that she was so beautiful and I knew that I had gotten lucky to have a woman like that notice me, let alone date me." I paused as I heard Arizona breath in deeply. "We ate in front of the TV and watched this silly movie that she picked out. I looked over at her and she looked amazing. Like nothing else in the world mattered, she was genuinely happy to just be. I wanted to capture the moment so I took out my phone and discretely took a picture of her, but the flash went off so she turned to look at me and all I could do was smile. She tried to wrestle the phone out of my hands because she thought the picture would be hideous, but she couldn't have been more wrong.…and um…she…" I paused. "She ended up on top of me with her hair creating a curtain around the two of us, and I pulled her face to mine and kissed her with everything I had inside of me. I wanted to convey every single feeling that she made me feel. In that moment, I knew this was real. I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her." I smiled widely as his eyes softened. Everything in that story was real except the kissing. I had wanted to kiss her, but something had interrupted us and she quickly got off of me and we continued watching the movie.

"Good." Daniel cleared his throat and found another question. "If Arizona had an accident and became a paraplegic, would you go through with the wedding or would you back out?"

"I'd go through with the wedding." I stated the truth.

"Uh huh… but why?"

"Because I love her and because I'd want her to stand by me if something like that happened. My love for your daughter is unconditional, sir. I know that you may think this is all talk, but it isn't. I would never do that to her. She would need me more than she ever did, and I would be right there through it all." I stated every word with conviction. "The only way I would leave her was if I had to prematurely leave this earth, but I know that I'd still be in her heart."

"Alright, Callie." He ran his fingers through what little hair he had. "Would you surgically remove three fingers from Arizona's hand if it meant that she was immune to all diseases?"

As I thought this one through, I remembered something that Arizona had said to me a couple of weeks ago. I wanted badly to turn around and look at the beautiful blonde, but I was too scared. "No I wouldn't. Arizona wouldn't be Arizona if she wasn't able to operate. She is a world-renowned surgeon; that is who she is. Taking that away from her would be the last thing that I would do."

"Okay." He looked up at his daughter and smiled. I could see the love in his eyes. "Next question…" He paused to find another. "What are your plans for the future?"

"I want us to be happily married and have amazing careers, and when the time comes, I want us to start a family. I would love to have a few mini Arizona's running around the house. I want to be able to tell her that I love her every single day and I want to say it just perfectly so that she truly knows that's how I feel. I want to grow old with her, and experience everything imaginable with Arizona. I want the good, the bad, and everything in between. That's what marriage is all about. She's what I've been waiting my whole life for." As I finished, I noticed that my eyes had began to water. I was glad that Arizona was not able to see my face. Blinking back the tears, I cleared my throat and nodded.

"What is one thing that my daughter would change about you?" He looked over at his daughter and raised his eyebrows, then looked back at me, his face now neutral.

"Uhh…well…" I shook my head trying to get something to come to mind. "Oh!" I said a little too loudly. "She hates the fact that when we're in bed…just sleeping" I felt the need to add, "my feet are really cold. Every time they touch her she scoots to the edge of the bed and finishes her crossword puzzle. It's adorable, but I know it bothers her. So I make sure that when I hold her, my feet aren't anywhere near her. That's the only thing she ever complains about. When something is bothering her we talk about it so there isn't something that she has to hold back. It helps to communicate."

Daniel Robbins didn't say anything further. He closed the yellow book and put it back in a drawer. Taking a moment to look from me to Arizona, he stood and walked over to his daughter. I turned my body so that I could look behind me. I was momentarily taken back when I saw that the beautiful blonde had tears running down her face. I watched as her father pulled her in for a hug and whisper something that I couldn't quite hear. She groaned sweetly and looked over at me. "Thank you." She mouthed as her eyes pierced my soul.

"Do you love her?" He asked as I held my breath.

"Yes." She nodded.

After their hug ended, he walked back over to me. "Stand up." I obeyed. "It's amazingly clear that you love my daughter and would do anything to make her happy and I can tell that you make her happy. That's all I ever wanted for her. I give you my blessing." As he finished I grinned from ear to ear. I breathed a sigh of relief as he gave me a hug. "Take care of her."

"I will." I nodded into his shoulder. "I absolutely will."

Arizona POV

"Oh my god." My mother stood from the couch and met us half way as we walked into the living room. "What on god's green earth look you so long?"

"Dad was doing that question thing." Tim yelled from the other end of the room. "Did she pass?"

"With flying colors." My father smiled and sat down next to his wife. "Go get her a drink." He told me. "She looks like she needs one."

"On it." I laughed and grabbed Calliope's hand. "Come on."

"Oh my god." She whispered as we walked into the kitchen. "I thought I was going to die. That was intense."

I couldn't help but look at her with admiration. It had taken a lot of courage do say the things she did. What scared me was the fact that I believed the words that she spoke. She had incorporated things that I told her into those questions. She knew how to give my father the things that he was looking for. "Thank you." I didn't know what any of this meant, but I knew that my feelings for Calliope were increasing.

"You're welcome." She smiled.

"Lay a big one on her." Callie and I turned around to catch my Nana looking at us. "It says a lot about a woman…if you know what I mean." She winked at me.

Without even thinking, Calliope pulled me in and kissed me slowly. I deepened the kiss because I wanted to show her what I was feeling in that moment. I wanted her to know that I was falling deep.

Holler.
