"Oh my God..."

"Hi Catalina."

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"I thought I pop by and see you. I didn't realize you guys were having a party."

"That is the biggest bull I have ever heard, Andrew. You knew we were having a party today for MY son. I do not want you in his life."

"Oh Cat. Come on, he is going to need a father."

"Oh, the next person in line to be a father figure for him is my brother. I want you to stay away from my family and stay out of my life."

"This isn't over."

"Get off this property, or so help me God that I will have my mom throw you off. Trust me, you do not want to mess with her or anybody in my family." Everybody is looking their way, even their parents.

"Fine. I came to give you these." Andrew hands her a stack of papers.

"What are these?"

"Custody papers. I want sole custody of him." With that Andrew walks away.

"Andrew?" Andrew turns around and gets punched in the nose. Oh, not by Catalina, but by her brother Joe.

"How is your hand, Joe?"

"My hand is fine. He deserved it."

"He did. Come on lets have ma look at it."

Callie checks his hand out. No broken bones. Catalina walked up to Mark and Lexie.

"Uncle Mark, Aunt Lexie, can I talk to you for a minute alone?"

"Sure." They go into the dining room.

"Did you know Andrew was going to do this?"

"He was talking to us about it. We didn't think he would actually do this." Lexie said.

"Terrific. Now what am I gonna do? This is going to make our families look bad. Who is going to take sides at the hospital if they hear about this?"

"They will not hear about this." Lexie said while staring at Mark.

"She's right, kiddo." Mark said.


Later that night, after everybody left and Joe left with his girlfriend and Caroline left with her boyfriend, and Catalina puts Carlos to bed, she, Callie, Arizona, and their lawyers, Jamie Stringer and Sarah Walsh are looking at the papers.

"Okay, is there anyway I can beat him in this case?"

"I don't know, Catalina. But we shouldn't give up on hope. Sarah and I will do everything that we can to help you keep your son."

"If I have to bring up the past, I will."

"What happened in the past?" Sarah asked her.

"The day that I found out I was pregnant, Andrew texted me to meet him at the park. Apparently he found out about the pregnancy. When I told him, he slapped me across the face and called me a disgusting whore. Later that night, he came into my room and beat the crap out of me. He almost killed me and the baby. He would have if my parents didn't come running into my room."

"Well, now hearing this I think you can keep your son and have him lose custody." Jamie said. After the lawyers left, Catalina, Callie and Arizona sat on the couch in the living room. They are watching TV when Catalina hears Carlos on the baby monitor crying. She goes up to his room.

"Mejio, why are you crying?" Carlos is still crying. He didn't need to be fed, his diaper didn't needed to be changed. He wanted his mother to sing to him.

Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep.
And still so many things I want to say.
Remember all the songs you sang for me.
When we went sailing on a emerald bay.
And like a boat out on the ocean.
I'm rocking you to sleep.
The water is dark and deep inside this mother's heart.
You'll always be a part of me.

Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream.
And dream how wonder your life will be.
Some day a child may cry and if you sing this lullaby.
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me.

Once Carlos hears Catalina singing he stops crying and falls back asleep. She heads back downstairs to her mothers, who are in the kitchen cleaning up.

"Can I ask you guys a question?"

"Sure, meija." Callie and Arizona sat down.

"Do you think that this is a good idea? Don't get me wrong, I should do this but, something is telling me that I shouldn't do this." Catalina was rambling in Spanish and pacing. Callie understood her but Arizona didn't know what she was talking about.

"CATALINA!" Arizona said and Catalina looked at her. "You should do this. I love you and I love Carlos. He doesn't deserve someone like Andrew in his life."

Catalina let out a big breath. "Yeah, your right. I don't need someone like him. I want someone who will love me and Carlos. Thank you. Now, I'm going to bed. It's been a long day. Goodnight." Catalina left the room to get some sleep.

The Next Day

Callie was looking in the fridge to find something to eat for her and Catalina. Arizona was at work, Joe and Caroline were at school. Catalina comes into the kitchen with a giggling Carlos in her arms.

"What are you looking for, mom?"

"I was just looking for something to make for us, but I can't find anything."

"Do you want me to go to the store? I can take Carlos with me."

"Great. Thanks." Callie made a list for Catalina to pick up at the store. Once Catalina and Carlos arrived at the store, she placed him in the cart.

"Okay, what to find to eat?" Catalina was looking at the baby food. "Well Carlos, what would you like?" Carlos was babbling while staring at the mushed bananas and peas.

"Okay, peas and banana it is." Catalina finishes up the shopping when she bumps into someone.

"I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." He said. "Cute boy. What's his name?"

"His name is Carlos. I'm Catalina Torres-Robbins by the way." Catalina holds out her hand.

"Matt Smith." He takes her hand and they both noticed the spark that went through their hands. After a few moments, they released their hands.

"I gotta go. Nice meeting you Matt." Catalina starts pushing the cart away.

"Wait Catalina." Catalina stops and turns around. "Do you want to go out Friday night?"

"I'd love to." They exchange numbers and Matt kisses her on the cheek. Catalina came home with a smile on her face and Callie noticed it.

"Why are you smiling?" Callie said while putting groceries away.

"I got a date Friday night." Callie turns around and gives her youngest daughter her full attention.

"You got a date?" Catalina nods. "I want to meet him before you guys go on your date, entiendes?

"Sí."


Once Friday came around, everybody, even Joe, was excited for Catalina's date. Catalina, Arizona, Callie and Caroline were in Catalina's room, helping her to get ready. Joe was watching Carlos downstairs.

"So, Cat, are you ready?" Arizona said.

"Yeah, it's been over a year since I dated someone. I really like him."

Callie looks at her daughter. "Oh my God. Cat, are you falling for him?"

"What? No. Not yet. Lets just see how tonight goes." Catalina was blushing.

"Oh my God, Cat. You are falling for him." Caroline says to her sister.

"Shut up. I will tell them what you told me." Catalina warned her.

"Tell us what?" Arizona said.

"I uh, gotta go." Caroline rushed out of the room. The doorbell rang and Callie went to go answer it.

"Hi, uh I'm Matt. I came to get your daughter for our date." Matt sticks out his hand

"Come on in. I'm Callie by the way. Catalina's mom." Callie shakes his hand. "She'll be down in a few minutes." They sat in the living room.

"Listen Matt, I watched her get really hurt by Carlos' father. I don't want to see her hurt again. If you hurt my little girl, you will answer to me. Got it?"

Matt nods.

"Ye-Yes ma'am."

"Ma! Are you trying to scare him?"

"Nope."

"I'm Arizona by the way. Catalina's other mom." Arizona sticks out her hand.

"I'm Matt." He shakes her hand. He turns to Catalina "You ready?"

Catalina nods.

"Not so fast." They stop and turn around

"So close."

"I want you home by ten-thirty."

"Okay. Can we go now?" Callie nods and they leave.

"Have a good time." Arizona said. She turns to her wife. "Well, their goes another one on a date."


On Catalina's Date

Catalina and Matt decided to go to a fancy restaurant. It's the restaurant that Callie and Arizona go to for their date night.

"I love this place. It's beautiful." Catalina was looking around the restaurant.

"Your beautiful." Catalina looks at him and blushes.

"So, Cat, can I call you that?" Catalina nods. "So, what should I know about you?"

"Well, I'm currently enrolled in home school. I enrolled last year when I was seven months pregnant with Carlos. I have twin older siblings. Joe and Caroline. They can be very protective of me and Carlos, and my parents worked at Seattle Grace-Mercy West Hospital. So what about you?"

"Well, I'm an only child. My dad died a couple of years ago from the war. My mom is a nurse at Seattle Grace-Mercy West Hospital."

"Who's your mom? I think I know her."

"Olivia Smith. She has red hair, maybe your height."

"Yes. I know her. She's really nice."

"Are you ready? I was hoping for a walk on the beach."

"I'd love that." Catalina and Matt left the restaurant and headed to the beach. Once they got their, they walked side by side. Matt reached over and grabbed Catalina's hand and entwined their fingers. Catalina looked at her watch. 10:15.

"Matt, I have to get home. My parents are going to flip if I'm late." They headed to Matt's car. He walked her to the front porch.

"I had a great time, Matt."

"I did to. I hope we can do this again."

"I love to." Matt leans in and kisses her. Catalina closes her eyes and deepens the kiss.

"I'll call you later."

"Okay." Matt kisses her again then leaves.

Catalina walks into the house with a smile on her face.

"Cat and Matt sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Joe and Caroline sing.

"Shut up." Arizona walks into the living room.

"How did it go?"

"It went well. We talked, ate dinner, walked on the beach and he..." Catalina was blushing.

"What?"

"He kissed me." Catalina's face was red as a tomato.

"He kissed you?" Callie said while coming into the room. Catalina nods.

"I'm going to bed. Goodnight." Catalina goes up to her room. She changes into her pj's and checks on her son, who is sound asleep. She takes out her phone and texts Matt.

"2night was perfect. We should do this again. Call me in the morning. xoxo -C"

A minute later, her phone vibrates.

"I would love to do this again. 2night was perfect. Just like you. ;) I'll call you tomorrow. xoxo -M"

Catalina fell asleep with a smile on her face.

The next morning, while everybody was having breakfest, Carlos said his first word.

"Ma-ma." Catalina looked at him.

"Did you just say-"

"Ma-ma."

Catalina looked at Callie and Arizona.

"His first word." Arizona said.

Catalina had tears in her eyes. "My meijo is growing up." Catalina's phone went off. Matt.

"Hello...hey no I'm fine...when...yeah I'll see you in five minutes...bye." Catalina hung up the phone and looked at her parents.

"Who was that?" Joe said.

"Matt. He wants to meet you, Caroline and see Carlos again."

"So Cat, who are his parents?"

"I'll let him tell you." The doorbell rang. "That is him." Catalina answered the door.

"Hey babe." Matt kisses her.

"Hi. Everybody is in the kitchen." Catalina grabs his hand and leads him to the kitchen.

"Matt, you remember my parents."

"Hello."

"The guy over their is my brother, Joe and my sister, Caroline and Carlos is in the highchair."

"So, Matt. Tell us about your parents."

"Well my father was in the Marines before he died." Matt had tears in his eyes. "And my mom is a nurse at SGMW Hospital."

"Olivia Smith is your mother?" Matt nods.

"Okay, who wants to go swimming?" Callie said.

"I do." Catalina, Joe and Caroline said.

"I didn't bring my swim suit." Matt said.

"I have an extra you can borrow." Joe said. Everybody leaves the kitchen to go get ready.

Matt is in the kitchen waiting for Catalina and Carlos when Arizona walked up to him.

"So Matt, your father was in the Marines."

"Yes."

"I had a brother who was in the Marines before he died."

"Really? I'm so sorry."

"It's okay. It's hard to talk about him."

"I understand. It's hard to talk about my father."

"Listen Matt, if you hurt her, emotionally or physically, I'll beat your ass. I grew up with the name Arizona and I know how to fight dirty. Okay?"

"Yes, but I'll ever hurt her. I really like her."

Catalina entered the room with Carlos in her arms.

"You ready?" Catalina walks up to Matt.

"Yeah." He looks at Carlos. "Can I hold him?" Catalina nods and hands Carlos to him. Carlos falls asleep in his arms.

"Wow. He usually screams his head off when a stranger holds him."

"What can I say? Kids love me."

They head to the pool. Matt hands Carlos to Arizona, and throws Catalina over his shoulder.

"Matt! Put me down!" He runs to the deep end and jumps in.

"Oh it's on, Matt." She swims over to him. She wraps her arm around his neck and wraps her legs around his waist. He kisses her and she deepens the kiss.

Callie clears her throat and they break away. "Your mom and I got paged to the hospital. Matt, you can stay. No funny business." Callie and Arizona leave and Matt and Catalina got out of the pool.

"So, do you want to watch a movie in the living room?" Catalina asked.

"Sure." Matt grabs her hand and head into the living room. She puts Carlos down for a nap and has the baby monitor with her just in case he wakes up. Catalina picks out "Knocked Up." They are sitting on the floor with their backs to the couch. Catalina rests her head on his chest and wraps an arm around his waist. Catalina fell asleep when Callie and Arizona came home.

Callie and Arizona walked up to them.

"We should let them rest." Arizona said.

While Callie was making dinner, Catalina and Matt woke up. He checked his phone. 3 miss calls, all from his mother.

"Cat, I have to call my mom." Matt goes and calls his mom. Two minutes later, he enters the living room dress back into his clothes that he wore. "Babe, I have to go. I'll call you later tonight."

"Okay." They kiss.

"Bye."

"Bye. " Matt leaves.

Catalina goes to the kitchen.

"Where's Matt?" Arizona said.

"He had to go home."

"Cat, we need to talk."

"Sure."

They go into the living room.

"Your mom and I say you two in the living room."

"Nothing happened. We were watching a movie and we fell asleep."

"Okay, I believe you. We don't want you to end up pregnant again."

"I know."

"Dinner's ready!" Callie yelled. Catalina went upstairs to grab Carlos.

"Ma-ma."

"Hi big boy." Catalina holds Carlos while walking on the stairs but puts him down and grabs his hands. He is walking with help.

"That's my boy." Catalina and Carlos walk into the kitchen.


A Few Months Later

Catalina is in the court room waiting for the judge's decision on whether or not she keeps custody of her son. She is playing with her engagement ring that Matt gave her a month ago.

Matt and Catalina are in the Space Needle with their families. Matt is quiet and Catalina is concerned.

"Babe, are you okay?"

"Yeah. I just wanted to ask you something." Matt got down on one knee and held out a beautiful diamond ring.

"Catalina, will you marry me?"

Catalina looked at the ring and back to him. Callie, Arizona, and Matt's mom, Olivia, had tears in their eyes.

"Yes." Matt places the ring on her finger and kisses her.

The judge came back into the room.

"After looking long and hard into this case." Catalina grabbed one of Sarah's hand and one of Jamie's hand. "Ms. Torres-Robbins, you get sole custody of your son, while Mr. Sloan, you lose yours and sentenced for 15 years in prison for domestic violence and attempted murder. Case dismissed."

Catalina hugged Jamie and Sarah.

"Thank you so much." Catalina turned around and saw her parents and Matt waiting for her.

"THIS ISN"T OVER CATALINA!" Andrew yelled and Catalina turned around. "I WILL GET MY SON!"

"Ha! Good luck with that." Catalina left the courtroom.

After that, the Torres-Robbins family returned home, they celebrated. Callie looked over at Arizona

"You what, baby?" Callie said.

"What?"

"I cherish you, and our children, our grandson and our future son-in-law."

"That makes two of us, Calliope." Arizona kisses her wife. "Now we got a wedding to plan."


So what did you think? The song is called Goodnight My Angel by Celtic Woman. I was just thinking about doing a one-shot sequel to this. And the lawyers were characters that Jessica Capshaw played. Jamie Stringer from The Practice, and Sarah Walsh from One Angry Juror. Review!
