Another fact that he know since today, the two women who stay since the beginning at the hospital. They are not other than the home wrecker and mistress. And now they married to each other and ask for some forgiveness and start everything at a clean slate. Half of Daniel's mind really want to slap them and ask to let his girl alone.

"Hi little one…," penny gives her a kiss on her head.

"I'm not a little one…I'm a big girl." Sofia angry pout to Penny.

Callie appear from her bedroom, "Hey baby…sorry I just take more sleep after cooked her breakfast. I didn't feel well," Callie walk closer and kiss penny lips.

"You have a fever?" Penny ask her.

"Yes, I think because I'm so tired. I'm standing for 12 hours, two surgeries. So I decide to take a day off today." Callie took a seat on the couch and lay her head back.

"My poor baby," Penny caress her arm, "Let me take a quick shower and join you after that," she walk into their bedroom with her trolley bag on her hand.

"You ok mama?" Sofia ask Callie.

"Ya baby," again she lied. She know she did not feel ok. Something bothering her, and she can't figure it out.

After 20 minutes, Penny walk to living room with Callie's phone on her hand, "Callie, your phone keep ringing." She walked to Callie and put the phone in Callies hand.

"Oh it's Aria. It's ok I will contact her later." Callie put down her phone and ignoring the ring.

"Maybe it's important?" Penny raising her eyebrow, and walk to the kitchen pouring some wine for both of them.

Callie check on her inbox, ~Pick up your phone. Addison is looking for you. It's important~ she inhale deeply and ignore the messages. "Oh, she just said that Addison is looking for me," Callie said without turn her head to Penny.

" . I saw her at the conference by the way." Penny said, make Callie turn her head to Penny.

"Really? She was there and attend it?" Callie ask once again.

"Yes, let me try to remember, I think there is an Asian women, a skinny tall blonde, Dr. Montgomerry, , Dr. Amelia Shepherd and Andrew the intern," Penny said in her pensive mood and slump her body beside Callie.

"The Asian is Yang, a skinny blonde huhmm… did she have a big eyes and was in cardio session?" ask Callie.

"Yes she have the same session with the Asian."

"It's Dr. Teddy Altman. And you mean Andrew DeLuca the intern," Callie remember exactly the name and her friend face.

"Wow looks like you really know them all…," Penny tease Callie.

"I do know them…" Callie defend on her word.

"I know Callie…I'm just teasing you," Penny peck on her cheek, and lean back to callie's body, "Oh you know, Arizona was not at the conference since Sunday, and the funny thing is Lauren Boswell were nowhere to be seen since the same day." Penny smirked while finishing her word and finishing her wine.

"What," Callie turn her head to stare at penny, ~Again Arizona?~ Callie's mind drifting around like crazy.

"Yup… I even once ask , why Arizona and Lauren didn't show up at last day of the session," Penny laugh like a winner, "and she just snort and leave me. I can't believe they call her the best cardio doctor, in fact she don't have any heart."

"Penny stop talking about my friend like that, you don't know them," Callie feels irritated.

"I don't know them Callie, and I don't care. I don't need them anyway. I have enough with you and Sofia," Penny reach Callie cheek and kiss her lips.

Callie push her aside and stare at pennys eyes with glassy eyes. Her mind still running around like crazy thinking about Arizona and Lauren. And now Penny insulting her friend. She just feels so tired.

"Stop Penny." Callie stand up and walk to make a distance.

"What? What happen?" Penny ask stupidly.

"You don't judge my friend. Because you don't know about them. And never insulting for whoever they are." Callie start to break down.

"Ok I'm sorry Cal," Penny stand up and walk closer to Callie. Sofia start whining watching to her mother and penny arguing.

Callie kneeling and took sofia in her arms and bring her to the couch, while whispering sweet word in her daughter ear. Her tears rolling slowly down her cheek. Penny kneel in front of Callie.

"Callie, please I'm sorry. It's just some jokes not a real one I mock them. I truly happy meet them in conference. However I still learn to be the best baby." Penny hold Callie's hand, "I Love you Callie… please forgive me,"

"There is two people in this relationship Penny. Not just you. You should respect mine too." Callie voice shaking.

"But listen to me Callie. In here, I'm not totally lie or blind. You should see the truth and fact. Your friends no longer care about you. Did they support you with your decision to go to New York?" Penny throw another persuade word. "They are not support you."

"Penny," Callie tried to cut her off.

"No you listen to me…I love you Callie Torres. I will always support you. You have a right to be more than just head of ortho in Seattle. Now in the next week you will have a chance to run a big research center in Europe. And I will be the second best next to you. And Sofia will stay with us. The three of us will have a beautiful life Callie," Penny kiss callie's hand lovingly and throw her best gaze to Callie.

While rocking Sofia slowly to calm the little one, Callie's mind accepting penny's word and proceed entirely.

"I don't want to blame Arizona. But It is her's. And maybe…just maybe, she will find her good way with this Lauren. And you don't need to think about it. You don't have to think about her. You have me now and only me, we are happy Callie. You have Sofia too." Penny move closer and sit beside Callie and hold both of them.

Callie's tears don't stop. She was too overload with the words. And that's it. The famous Penny words that always succeed make Callie's heart give in.

"Callie Torres, I love you and I Penelope Blake will always love you with all my heart. Because you are the one who make my life more colorful. We don't need anyone Callie. Do you hear me? No one. I will do anything for your happiness."

Her phone blaring again. She check and now it is Aria who call her. Twice and now three times she reject the phone. She don't have any intention to pick up any phone call. She is ignited by Penny's word.

"You want to pick up that call?" Penny ask.

"No. I don't need it," Callie smiled and turn off her phone and rest her head on Penny shoulder. For now she just need to close her eyes. Even she sit side by side with Penny, she missed the warm arm that Arizona offer everytime she feel unwell. She missed soft lips that comforting her when she feels worried. She missed the blond hair that resting on her belly when they woke up. She missed all of it, and she missed Arizona. Is it too late to confess to Arizona that she still love her?

~I will talk to Penny tomorrow, but I want to call Arizona first.I will tell her to give me a chance to fix everything~ tears roll down slowly.

Aria Torres was so shocked when she heard the news from Addison Montgomerry. She was not a close one to her ex in law. But Aria knows that her sister was head over heels in love with Arizona Robbins. And her first impression to Penny Blake? When she hangout at their apartment in New York, she surely didn't found her sister sparkling eyes. Like the way they would when Callie shared any story about Arizona.

Now, her mission was calling her sister, to tell her about what happen to Arizona. Next to her was her father. Deeply sunk into his chair, the shoulders hanging and the face showed deep grief.

Her father told her about what happen in Seattle. How Callie was rude to her ex in laws. How Callie change into someone that he almost didn't know anymore.

"She turn off her phone, daddy." Aria said with a hopeless face.

Carlos Torres, he just feels guilty. He was supposed to be a peacemaker between his daughter and Arizona. But he failed. Now that he had found the possibility to communicate with the Robbins, it had to end so badly. Arizona was gone. A journey without return.

"What was saying about Arizona's house?"

"That her parents took all her stuff back to Boston. And her friend at hospital didn't know her parents house address in Boston."

"You go to Boston," Carlos told Aria.

"Me? Daddy? Alone? Can I ask Addison to accompany me or someone from the hospital? I think she said Alex or someone planning to go to Boston too," Aria ask while texting Addison.

"Ya just go there and meet with her parents. Wait for me. Ask Ian he have Arizona address, and he will accompany you to go there too." Carlos stood up and fixing his suit, he would make sure his loyal assistant will bring Aria to Arizona parents.

"And you dad?" Aria ask her father.

"I will pick up Calliope," Carlos said. ~I will bring Calliope with my own hands. Arizona you deserve to meet Calliope and Sofia for the last time~, said Carlos inside his mind.

Arizona woke up with a heavy throat and try to reach something with her hand. She found something hold her hand right lovely. Her left hand caress slowly a person face who sleep beside her while holding her right hand. And waking up the person, which was her mother.

"Arizona…," Barbara talk slowly.

"Phoenix," Daniel voice sound from her left side.

Arizona try to reach Daniel hand and Daniel reach it right away. Now they hold each other hand, "Daddy, take me somewhere. I will follow whatever plan you have for me. But please don't tell me to much about it. I'm sure I would not go with you if I know every detail."

Barbara and Daniel just hold their daughter with all the love they have.

Carlos arrived in New York with rain pour down heavily. While his car run through the traffic. Aria just call from Boston, they found that the Robbins family house was empty. The neighbor said that Daniel and Barbara never come back from their trip to Seattle, but yesterday the moving company emptied the house without news. Neighbors confirm that they heard about Arizona accident that took her life, but no one could confirm news about Daniel or Barbara.

One of the neighbors talked with a lawyer who was commissioned by the Robbins to handle any moving process. But having no clue about where they will held the memorial to Arizona.

Carlos feels guilty with the news. He feels that Callie was one of the reasons that the Robbins family disappear. He know and witness how Callie was rude to Barbara and Daniel, being ungrateful and keep cornering Arizona. Even then as Arizona send Sofia to be with her.

Carlos walk with heavy step into Callie's apartment building, knocking and wait for Callie to open the door.

Penny open the door with smile on her face, but the smile disappear when she saw Carlos figure at her door.

"Where is Calliope?" Carlos ask with stern face and cold voice.

"Please come in, she just finish cooking," Penny stutter and she run inside while calling after Callie.

Not long after Callie appear and shocked about Carlos arrival, Sofia run to her Abuelo and hug his leg.

"Daddy…," Callie kiss Carlos cheek, "what a surprise," she throw her best smile to him.

"Pack your bag Calliope…and take Sofia with you," Carlos face not buying Callie's smile.

"Where we going abuelo?" Ask Sofia.

"Daddy what happen? I feel unwell today and…," Callie reach for Sofia and pull her daughter to her side.

"Do as I say, for once. Maybe you don't need to pack more clothes, just come with me and take Sofia." Again Carlos not budging from his position and his eyes stare coldly to Callie.

"But daddy, can you at least tell me what happen and where are we going?" Callie was stubborn, like always, and not moving at Carlos words. Penny shows up and now standing beside Callie, "Penny please take Sofia inside…."

"No mama I want abuelo…," Sofia stump her feet angrily.

"Seattle…," Carlos answered shortly.

"Yayyy… will we meet my mommy abuelo?" Sofia jump up and down excited. "Mama I want meet my mommy." Carlos eyes goes down to Sofia with sadness, how can he tell this bad news without breaking her heart?

"Seriously dad…you coming only to drag me back to seattle to…," Callie start raise her voice.

"Calliope…," Carlos close his eyes for just a moment and take a deep breath.

"Don't Calliope me dad… I won't go back there and take Sofia, she need to go to school, she have new life here," Callie said angrily to Carlos, "Penny bring her inside, now."

Carlos open his eyes and it clearly that his eyes filled with tears. Callie look at him and stop her step and it struck her like a lighting bolt, for once in her life, she saw her father sad eyes.

"Arizona is dead," Carlos said with a broken voice.

"What? ... Wait … What? Are you kidding me?"

"How dare you talk to me like that? I would never make a joke about it. Who are you?"

Just then, Callie knew she had lost everything. She heard the voice of her father from afar. Heard what happened. But it did not reach her. For a short moment she was completely empty. But then this emptiness was replaced with pure guilt.
