A/N: Time hop, I can't believe that the first 6 chapters only covered about a 48 hours time span...


Checking her text messages, Arizona is disappointed that she hasn't heard from Kiaria all day. Ordinarily they exchange messages throughout the day, but Kiaria is flying today, her team begins a playoff series in Houston.

"Hey, are you going to watch the game tonight?" Callie asks, poking her head into the blonde's office.

"Not really," Arizona says looking up, confused as to why Callie would ask about the game, then it dawns on her, "would you like me to take Sofia so you guys can watch it?" She asks.

"Uh, that would be awesome. JJ's friends are having a party and I wasn't going to go, but then my morning opened up tomorrow, so I'd like to and if you have Sofia, then I don't have to worry about getting home for the sitter." Callie explains.

"No problem. Have fun." Arizona says as her phone buzzes. Grabbing it quickly she checks, but it's just Jo telling her that her labs are in.

"Well thanks again. We'll switch back tomorrow." Callie says turning to go.


Parking the car, Arizona is getting Sofia out of the back seat when she squeals Kiaria's name.

Confused, Arizona turns around and then squeals herself. "What are you doing here? I thought you were in San Antonio?"

Rushing to greet her girlfriend, Kiaria replies, "No, I actually left the team last week. You're looking at the new Director of Sports Medicine at the University."

"Washington? You got a job here? I thought you were waiting until the end of the season?" Arizona stammers

Kiaria reaches in and helps Sofia out of the car and replies, "I've been talking to them for the last couple of months, which is why I was able to visit so often." She explains. "I just didn't want to tell you until I was sure that we could come to terms. I had another offer, but it was in LA."

"Oh my god, you're moving here." Arizona says still in shock, as they walk into the building. "You are moving here, to Seattle not Tacoma, right?"

Kiaria unlocks the door and waits for Arizona to go through, "Yes, Seattle, though I will have to travel to Tacoma. Arizona are you okay?" She asks finally.

"I am, I just, no one's ever done anything like this for me. I don't know what to think." She blurts out.

"Well, I didn't realize Little Miss Sofia would be here tonight, so let me make a few phone calls and change up plans." Kiaria says as Sofia asks if they're going out to dinner. "Yes sweet girl, we should go out and celebrate, how about it Arizona?" She asks the blonde.

"Yes, we are definitely celebrating this." Arizona replies. "Hey where are your bags?"

"They're at the hotel, I got a suite downtown. That's one of the phone calls that I need to make. I got the college to pay for it and I was going to surprise you." She explains. "Wait, it is a suite. What if we have them bring in another bed for Sofia and we could still enjoy it tonight, what do you think?"

"I think that I'll pack an overnight case and call Alex to take my rounds tomorrow morning." Arizona replies as she plants a kiss on Kiaria's lips and disappears into Sofia's room.

"Is there a swimming pool?" Sofia asks.

"Uh, you know I'm not sure. But we may not have time to go swimming, because we're going out to dinner." Kiaria explains to the little girl.

"Sofia, can you come in here please." Arizona calls out to her daughter. "Which dress do you want to wear tonight to dinner?"

"That one, but can I please wear the sparkly shoes with it?" She asks sweetly.

"Those don't really go with it, honey. These would look much better." Arizona tries to gently persuade her, but sees the pouting lip coming out, so she adds, "Let's take both pairs and decide later, okay?"

"Okay, let me pack this for her and you go pack your stuff. Do you know what you're wearing tonight?" Kiaria asks her playfully.

"Oh, I know exactly what I'm wearing tonight." Arizona replies, then asks, "Are you sure you want to do this tonight? We could wait or I could get a sitter."

"No, I want to celebrate with both of you, you're a package deal." She says sweetly.


"I texted Callie to let her know that you're in town and I'll drop Sofia off late tomorrow." Arizona says as they drive downtown to the hotel.

"She's going to blow up your phone asking why I'm not in San Antonio." Kiaria points out, and just then two messages come in from Callie.

"Okay, well you're right. She is asking me why you're not at the game." Arizona says checking her phone at the stop light.

"Want me to respond to her?" Kiaria asks the blonde.

"Oh, wow, do you think we're at that stage in the relationship, where you text with my ex and tell her that you're moving here?" Arizona asks teasing her.

Shrugging, Kiaria says, "We can be."

"Okay, just send her this for now, tell her that you took a job at UW as Director of Sports Medicine. She'll figure out the rest." Arizona points out.

"Okay, done." Kiaria says setting the phone back down in the console.

A few minutes later it buzzes again, Arizona nods for her to open the message.

"It says congrats, I look forward to working with you." Kiaria says laughing.

"Of course she knew you were texting on my phone, you didn't use any smiley faces or exclamation points." Arizona says reading the messages as they wait in line at the hotel parking garage.


Callie sits on her couch waiting for JJ to pick her up. She's still staring at her phone. If Kiaria is moving here, she and Arizona must be serious. She has so many questions that she wants to ask, but she knows that they are probably going out to celebrate. Now they're celebrating as a little family because Sofia is with them. Tears fall down her face, Arizona has made a family without her. Somehow this whole break up was easier when Callie knew that Arizona was alone, but now the thought of her making a life with someone new is freaking her out. But isn't that what I've been trying to do with JJ, she asks herself?

Just then JJ walks into the house, "Hey I thought you were going to come out when I pulled up, I texted you?" She says, then realizing Callie's upset she comes and sits down beside her. "What's going on?" JJ asks putting her arms around her.

"Uh, nothing. I just had a bad outcome today and uh, just found out." Callie says brushing it off. The last thing she wants is to go to ruin the night for JJ, by telling her about this.

"Oh, are you sure that you want to go out, we could just watch the game here. Your TV is probably better than Jamie's." JJ offers.

"Really? You'd be okay with us just staying here and watching the game?" Callie asks surprised.

"Yeah, I mean my friends want to meet you and everything, but that doesn't have to happen tonight." JJ replies.

"Well, it's time for me to meet them, so let's go." Callie says, "Just let me freshen up first," she says kissing her lightly and then getting up to go to her bedroom.

Taking a deep breath, Callie splashes cold water on her face and pats it dry. Then touches up her eyeliner and reapplies her make up quickly.

"Okay, I'm ready. Let's go!" She says walking back out to where JJ is waiting.


In the hotel room, Sofia is excited. The suite is almost as big as their apartment and she's enthralled by the floor to ceiling windows and the view of the harbor. "Momma I think I see a whale!" she says excitedly.

"Sofia, you're right. That is a whale and look there are two little ones beside the big one." Kiaria points out, squatting down beside her.

"Sofia, baby, come here so I can braid your hair." Arizona calls to her daughter from the bedroom.

"Momma come see the whales!" Sofia says running back to the bedroom and flinging open the curtains. "Kiaria where did they go?" She asks worried.

"Give them a minute Sof, they're swimming this way." She says laughing at how excited she is about the whales. "Wow you look gorgeous!" She says when Arizona steps out of the bathroom with a black cocktail dress and her hair braided and wrapped around her head.

"Thank you, you look pretty amazing yourself." She counters, her blue eyes twinkling with happiness as she sees the two of them in the chair waiting to see the whales again.

Kiaria holds out her hand and at first Arizona is confused, then she realizes that she's asking for the hairbrush. So she hands it to her and watches as she carefully brushes and braids her daughter's hair so that it looks like Arizona's.

"Perfect. I've never seen you wear braids, I didn't know you knew how to do that." Arizona replies.

"I've been braiding hair since my first road trip, I don't think you can play a women's team sport and not learn how to braid hair, it's one of the few things you do on the team bus without getting into trouble." She says laughing.

"Well, she rarely lets anyone braid her hair but me, it makes Callie crazy." Arizona replies in awe of her daughter's openness to her girlfriend. Wanting to test her powers, Arizona hands her the shoes that she wants Sofia to wear, just to see if she'll wear them if Kiaria asks her to.

"Hey Sof, let's get your shoes on." Kiaria says, realizing what the blonde is up to.

Still focused on the harbor waiting for the whales to appear, Sofia doesn't even pay attention to which shoes are going on her feet. "Momma, look! There's the momma whale and her two babies." She says loudly pointing out the window.

"Wow, that's really awesome Sofia." Arizona says still watching her two girls in the chair together.


Callie and JJ enter the house and quickly Callie is glad that she came as she meets JJ's friends.

"Hey, JJ did you hear that Dr Jordon is moving to Seattle? I bet Jessie is pissed." Jamie tells her friend.

"No, I hadn't heard that." JJ says looking over at her girlfriend, not people know that Callie's ex is dating Jess' ex.

"Uh, I just heard that she got a job at U-Dub, Director of Sports Medicine." Another woman chips in.

"Well, I wonder why she's relocating here now. Are she and Jess getting back together?" Another asks.

Finally JJ realizes what's going on with Callie, she had probably just found out and was having a minor freak out. So JJ decides to pipe up, "No Jordon's dating Callie's ex, not Jess."

Callie freezes, damn JJ for bringing that up. Callie finishes her drink and heads to the kitchen for another one.

"Is that the 'bad' outcome you were upset about earlier?" JJ asks following her.

"JJ, we're not doing this here." Callie says firmly. "Can we just talk about this later?"

"I thought we were in a really good place Cal..." JJ says confused.

"We are, but I was just surprised by this news. That's all it is. I don't think it's unusual to be surprised about this type of news." Callie replies defensively. "And I'm here with you to meet your friends, JJ. You gave me an easy out, but I'm here with you. So can please just enjoy the party." Callie says going to her and kissing her lightly on the lips.

Wrapping her arms around her, JJ pulls her in to deepen the kiss. And Callie stiffens.

"Just what I thought you'd do..." JJ says storming out of the kitchen.

Not wanting to make a scene, Callie goes over to her purse and pulls out her phone and calls for a cab. She just needs to get out of here and go home, she needs to think.


Knocking on the door, Callie knows that she should have called first but she thought she was just going to go home, next thing she knows she gives out a different address.

"Callie? Is everything alright?" Meredith asks answering the door with Ellis on her hip.

"No, no it's not. Can I come in?" She asks.

"Of course, I was just going to put the baby down. There's wine in the kitchen, or tequila if you need it. I'll be right back." Meredith says a little concerned about her friend.
