Thank you guys! I'm falling in love with you guys more and more!

The song which Andi and Owen sang was A1's Caught in the middle. Sorry I missed that.

To the guest who guesses it right, yes! It was inspired by the Adhesive Duck Deficiency episode of Big Bang Theory.

To the guess who wondered why Arizona didn't insist where Callie was, first- they were already divorced and she and Meredith was not really close. I just guessed this will be a normal reaction from her.

And to the guest who said it was not a good story, well. There are some who like it and I can't break their hearts can I?

Chapter 9

Callie

I need to let her go. I want her to be happy too.

Callie watched Arizona saying good bye to Sofia. Meredith walked towards her with Sofia and Zola.

"Hi honey, did you and Mama had a good day yesterday?" Callie asked and picked her daughter up.

"The best day! Mama took me to the planetarium. She told me about the stars, she said at night we'll be seeing the same stars and that means we are not that far away from each other. We ate a lot of ice cream! It was awesome!" Sofia grinned as she told her mother about the day she had with her Mama. Sofia was like a Latina version of Arizona. Perky and happy. Sofia continued with her story now towards Zola. The two kids were chatting when Meredith placed her hands over Callie's shoulder.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Yeah. I mean I had to give her and Sofia some space since I'm taking our kid away again." Callie said.

"So this is about Sofia?" Meredith asked again. She knew that something was wrong. Callie stormed off at Owen's party. She was avoiding Arizona. She asked Meredith for help to avoid her. "Arizona was wondering where you were."

Callie looked at her friend. Yes, she knew Arizona would wonder where she is. The past few days with Arizona were wonderful. She got to know Arizona again. Some things they never talked about before. But was she making Arizona miserable? She had a girlfriend. She left, Arizona let her. She was more than thankful with Arizona's gesture. She was selfless knowing how hard it'll be to wake up everyday not seeing her daughter. "Yes. I want her to have all the time she could have with Sofia. She was so generous to give me happiness, I think this is the only thing I can do."

"Okay." Meredith still feeling that Callie was still hiding something but didn't want to pry.

"We have to go Sofia. Say good bye to Zola and Aunt Meredith." Callie said. Sofia and Zola hugged and giggled. Sofia reached up to hug Meredith and kissed her cheeks. Callie and Meredith said their good byes. Mother and daughter walked to their platform and waved good bye.

In the plane, Callie was struggling to fall asleep. Sofia watched her mother twist and turn. Callie was thinking about how she left things. She left a note. Arizona was willing to let her go, settle to be her friend. She needed to be happy, her being around there, being jealous was not helping Arizona.

"Here Mommy" She heard Sofia say. She looked at her daughter raising her teddy bear and giving it to her mother. Callie wiped away a tear and tussled Sofia's hair.

"Its your teddy honey. Your Mama gave it to you." Callie replied.

"Mama gave me a big hug earlier so I can sleep, you didn't get one from Mama so-" Sofia still raised her teddy bear in front of Callie. She reached for the bear and smiled at her daughter. She was so selfless, she was so Arizona. "Awesome!" Sofia smiled. Her smile was so similar to Mark. As Sofia turned away, she leaned her head and tried to sleep. In a few minutes the little girl was dead to the world.

She hugged the bear and smelled it. She closed her eyes with a heavy sigh. The bear smelled like Arizona. Maybe Arizona sprayed a little of her perfume on the stuff toy. She remembered whenever Sofia was having a hard time sleeping, she would climb up and comfort her daughter but the little girl will still roll over until Arizona comes over and soothe Sofia. Her daughter will always scoot up to Arizona and hug her. Sofia will place her head beside Arizona's body and smell her. After a few minutes her daughter will be fast asleep. It was the same when Sofia was with Mark. Arizona will go over there when her daughter was having a bad dream and everything will be fine when she sat beside her daughter until she falls asleep.

"Robbins! I want that perfume." Mark said closing the door behind him. Sofia just had a bad dream again, he had to call Arizona because their daughter was not sleeping until Arizona arrives. "Its not the perfume Mark, its my plain awesomeness!" Arizona said as she walks away. Mark followed her to the main door and opened it for her. "It's the perfume. Give me some so I can rub some on me! I want Sofia to be cuddling with me like that!" Mark said. Arizona just grinned.

"Rub what and cuddling with who?" Callie said as she walked up to their adjacent apartments.

"Mark couldn't put Sofia to sleep so he called me." Arizona said proudly.

"Sofia only reacts to her when she's having a bad night! It's her perfume!" Mark leaned down to put his nose near and almost touching Arizona's neck. He sniffed Arizona loudly before Callie could pull her wife away from him.

"Hey! Don't sniff my wife! Sofia and I could only do that." Callie hugged Arizona from behind sniffing her neck as well. It was so addicting. She couldn't describe the fragrance but it was giving her goose bumps. She sniffed again and kissed Arizona's neck. Her wife was just laughing with this interaction.

Arizona didn't like Mark at first but he was proving that he was a wonderful father to Sofia. But the idea that Callie didn't like him smelling her was a bit of a turn on. She knew her wife was protective but seeing her like this was fun.

"Fine! Just give me the perfume and Sofia can snuggle with me too!" Mark yelled. He watched Arizona soothe Sofia to sleep. He was so happy to see her daughter sleeping soundly but he was a little jealous with that cuddling going on. He was Mark Sloan, he was very much a guy's-guy but he was so putty when it comes with his kid.

"No! Mine!" Callie responded pulling her wife into their apartment. Arizona was just laughing with the whole ordeal. "Mm. You do smell nice." Callie dropped her bag by the door and continued to sniff her wife.

"That tickles!" Arizona giggled.

"I could smell you all day." Callie kissed Arizona's neck. "Hm. That's not smelling Calliope." Arizona moaned as her wife kiss her. "I know." She continues to kiss Arizona and sucked on her neck leaving a mark.

"Callie!" Arizona yelled as she feels her wife leaving a mark. She went to the bathroom and checks the place where the mark should be. Callie ran after her watching her from the door. "How the hell am I supposed to hide this?!" Arizona still looking at the mark. Callie walked up to her and hugs her from behind. "Wear a turtle neck." She kissed her again. Arizona couldn't help to feel weak. Callie does know where her weak spots are. "I plan to kiss you all over so better wear something that covers your entire body." Callie continues with her deed. She sends shivers all over her wife and grabbed her towards their bedroom. This will be a long night for smelling. They made love all night.

Callie woke up trying to find Arizona beside her but her wife was nowhere. She picked her phone up and saw a message from Arizona.

Arizona Robbins: Got paged early. I love you!

She quickly replied.

Calliope Torres: Don't ever tell anyone about your perfume or else I'll be turned on everytime I smell it! I love you!

She placed her phone back and tried to sleep. Beep beep.

Arizona Robbins: Wearing it today. Walking around the hospital and leaving traces for you. If you find me, you'll have your prize.

She replied again.

Calliope Torres: You are on Dr. Robbins.

She woke up and found her daughter still sleeping. Must be one hell of a hug from Arizona. She was still regretting not saying good bye, maybe even having a hug herself. But she had to. They have to.

She almost forgot to message her girlfriend upon their arrival. They took a cab to their New York apartment.

"Penny?" Callie walked in the apartment she shared with her girlfriend. She was nowhere in sight. They still have to talk. But she was tired from the flight. She fixed Sofia up with food and ate with her. Sofia talked non-stop about Arizona which makes it hard not to think about her ex-wife.

"When are we going back home Mommy?" Sofia asked. They were at least a couple of hours in New York and Sofia was already asking her mother to go back home. She was home sick. The big move was hard on her daughter. She was not thinking about this when she decided to do this. She was already here, she had to suck it up. This was her giving Arizona what she deserves. Arizona could find someone in a snap, she was hot and awesome surgeon with double certification who wouldn't want that. She shook her head. She was comparing Penny to Arizona. Of course Arizona was already brilliant, awesome in bed too. God. She needs to get laid already. This inappropriate thing in her head was not helping. She remembered seeing Arizona naked. Feeling her up. Oh. God.

"We'll be back ho-, to Seattle for Christmas honey." Callie replied to her daughter. Avoiding calling it home. "Now eat up!" Sofia looked at Callie. She was counting something in her hands

"Can't Mama stay here until then? She could stay in my room and we can all go back home for Christmas!" Sofia said excitedly. Giving her mother a great idea.

"Oh. Mama can't stay here Mija." Callie said trying to soften the blow.

"Why not?" Sofia pouted. A trait she adapted from her mothers.

"Because Mama is saving little babies there." Callie said proudly.

"But there are babies here too. And I'm Mama's baby too." Sofia said sadly.

"Yes honey. You are Mama's baby. Her only baby. How about we call her and you can say good night to her?" Callie said. She didn't know how to explain their move. It was selfish on her part, she pulled Sofia from her home, their village. From her awesome mother.

Sofia smiled and grabbed Callie's phone and handed it over. Callie dialed Arizona's number.

Ring ring ring.

"Mama!" Sofia yelled.

"Hurricane!" Arizona yelped. To an adult ears it was two kids talking. Callie watched as Sofia walks around the living room.

"How my favorite daughter? How was your flight?" Arizona asked Sofia. Callie put the phone on speakers. She was missing her ex-wife voice. Sofia didn't really notice. She was excited to talk to her mother.

"I'm your only daughter Mama." Sofia pouted. "But you are still my favorite!" Arizona giggled.

"I lent teddy to Mommy. She was having a hard time sleeping and I got a hug from you but she didn't so I let her have it." Sofia explained as Callie's eyes widen.

"Oh." That was the only thing Arizona could say.

"She slept the whole way here! It works Mama! I think Mommy miss your smell too. Whenever I hug teddy I can smell you." Sofia said. Callie was frozen. Her own daughter let her ex-wife knows that she missed her.

"I doubt that sweetheart." Arizona said. Callie was intently listening to the conversation. She didn't hear Penny coming in. Of course she missed her ex-wife.

"She does! So do I." Sofia pouted again. "Can't you stay here Mama?" This breaks Callie's heart. She knew it'll be hard for Sofia to be away from Arizona. She'll have a hard time too if the roles were reversed.

"Sweetheart, my job is here. Mama's saving little babies!" Arizona tries to entice her daughter a bit.

"But there are babies here too." Sofia pouted and whispered. "Your baby is here too."

"I know honey, but you'll be here for Christmas! Go to the window." Arizona asked her daughter. Sofia reluctantly complied. "You see those stars?" Sofia nodded. "Mm." She was now looking up and watching the stars. "We are looking at those same stars baby. Which means we are not that far away from each other. But that does not mean I don't miss you. I miss you everyday and I love you everyday Sofia." Arizona stated. Callie can hear Arizona choke up a little. She couldn't help to watch Sofia looking out and wiping her tears away. "I love and miss you everyday Mama. Everyday."

"Cheer up Hurricane. How about we count the days until you are back here and we'll exchange that for the number of ice cream scoops you can have? How does that sound?" Arizona said happily.

"Yay! I'll start counting now!" Sofia yelled and ran to her room. She reached for the calendar and got back to the phone with Arizona. "I marked the date today Mama."

"Good! Now you need sleep. Sweet dreams baby!" Arizona stated.

"Good night Mama! Sweet dreams! Bye!" Sofia replied.

"Of course. I'll be dreaming about you. Bye!" Arizona said. Sofia returned the phone to Callie. She saw that Arizona has not hung up she placed the phone over her ear. She wanted to say something. She does not really know what but she wanted to talk to her ex-wife. Before she could say anything, Penny leaned in for a kiss.

"I missed you so much." Penny stated. Callie was shocked, she looked at Penny when she heard Arizona cut the call off.

"Uhm. Hey, sorry I didn't hear you come in." Callie said as she looked over her phone. Did Arizona hear Penny? Of course she did.

"Its okay. How was your trip?" Penny sat down preparing her own plate.

"It was okay. I had to do some consult. They guy who replaced me was not up to par." Callie said. Still wondering what Arizona felt when she dropped the call. Penny smiled and Callie continued to tell her about her trip.

"They actually lost a patient due to the lack of experience of the new ortho attending. Which makes it worse was it was actually a brother of a new fellow there." Callie stated.

"New fellow?" Penny asked.

"Yeah. A Dr. Andi Tan. Karev was on temporary leave and they needed a new peds fellow." Callie avoided giving more information.

"Oh. She's there now?" Penny asked. Callie was confused. Did Penny knew Tan?

"You know her?" Callie asked. She almost hated this fellow flirting with Arizona but she had to let it go. After all Arizona told her they were just friends. But she still couldn't help to feel jealous about this woman who spends time with her ex-wife.

"No. Not really. We heard about her. Gossip around the hospital was she was courted by a lot of hospital including ours. She has this research that involves two disciplines, Ortho and Peds. Although rumors around that she kind of a player." Penny said not noticing her girlfriend was fuming about the new fellow.

"A player huh?" Callie snorted. This so called player was spending her time around her ex-wife. Arizona needs someone serious. Arizona does not need anyone playing with her.

"Yeah. We heard there was actually a bunch of doctors ready to confront her, but she was so charming the group of doctors apologize to her instead. Do you believe that?" Penny exclaimed. She looked up to Callie. Callie was beyond furious at this point. She had to make a phone call. Now!

"And Arizona is working with her." Callie whispered but Penny heard.

"So?" Penny asked as she finishes her food.

"So? Don't you think its scary having her around Arizona? I mean Arizona needs to be happy not to be played around with!" Callie yelled.

"Calliope." Penny tries to understand why her girlfriend was mad about the idea.

"Don't call me that!" Callie yelled. She stood up pacing around and Penny was just confused what happened.

"Sorry." Penny was upset. Why was Callie so mad. She just watched her girlfriend paced around, looking at her phone when she stopped and walked inside Sofia's bedroom.

Callie stood in front of her daughter sleeping. She saw the teddy bear beside Sofia. She scoots over the bed slowly trying not to wake up her daughter. She leaned over so that her head was right next to the teddy bear. She sniffed it. It relaxes her. Arizona's scent relaxes her. She drifted off to sleep.

Arizona

Arizona slumped down to her chair. Its only been a few hours but she missed her daughter. Not only that, Callie left a very vague note on her door. She just heard Penny kissing her ex-wife. She was so annoyed. They were good. They were friends. Why would she just go and not say good bye. She sighed.

"Wow. That bad. I swear I could have seen those papers fly away with your sigh."

Arizon sat upright and saw Andi peaking at her door. She rolled her eyes at her. She started to fix her files on her table.

"Come on grumpy. That was funny!" Andi enters the room.

"Go away, I'm not in the mood." Arizona replied. Andi scattered the files intentionally. "What the hell?!" Arizona glared at her fellow.

"You need to get laid. All this sex-less-ness is making you grumpy!" Andi offered her hand but Arizona ignored her and crossed her arm.

"I'm not sleeping with you!" Arizona yelled.

"Not me! You, me, let's go hunt!" Andi exclaimed as she leans the table. "Hm. You smell nice. Maybe we can use that and the fact you have good hands with the ladies. Now come on!"

"Can you not sniff me?" Arizona stated. Callie always smelled her, whenever they hug, they cuddle. Ugh. "And I am a divorcee. I have a daughter across the country! Plus I have one leg. Who's going to date me?' Arizona said. Andi was already annoying her.

"First, we don't date" Andi was pointing her fingers at Arizona then herself. Repetitively. "And you are not going to use your legs for release, you just need a finger. Maybe add another two if she's really into it." Andi whispered and Arizona smacked her head.

"You're disgusting!" They laughed. "Fine. Let's go get some." Arizona was now excited. She has a new wingman. Or wingwoman. She enjoyed Andi's company. With Andi's inappropriate comments and attitude she really reminds her of Mark. She really misses Mark. She always thought if Mark was here, things would be different.

They walked towards Joe's. Arizona wrapped her arms around Andi's arms. Andi's hand was inside her pockets. They settled at the bar and ordered their drinks. Wine for Arizona and beer for Andi. They were chatting about their day. Arizona really feels comfortable with Andi. She had friends. Well most of them were Callie's friend. But having Andi, it feels good. She could always rant about anything and Andi will offer some frank advice not worried about hurting her feelings. They were having a good time.

Andi was kind of scoping the place out for the "hunt" she and Arizona are supposed to be doing. When some young hot thing walked over towards them.

"Hi." Arizona looked at her. She was kind of young. But she's hot. Nice body too. She couldn't help but stare so she decided to say hi too.

"Hi." Arizona smiled showing her dimples off. Andi now turned to face the two women beside her. She watched as her friend tries to open up to other people. An arm reached out in front of Andi.

"Martina. And you are?" God. She was flirting with Andi. Not me. Stupid. She rolled her eyes and sipped her wine. She watched the woman's back before looking at the dance floor.

Andi reached for her hand and shook it. "Not really interested right now. But if you call me tomorrow you'll be screaming my name." She whispered into the woman's ears and kissed her hand. Reaching over her pocket to write her number in the hands of the woman. She winked as she finishes writing the number down. The woman smiled like she already came right there. Andi giggled and turned to Arizona who was already annoyed with her.

"Come on! Fair game. She walked up to us. She just wanted me more." Andi smirked. This triggered Arizona's competitive side.

"People are lining up for me! Let's see how good your game is against mine! Care for a wager?" Arizona raised her eye brows. It was game on. She still got it. She felt the rush. She likes the challenge. She offered her hand to seal the deal with Andi.

"Sure! But the winner gets to ask anything!" Andi held Arizona's hand until she agrees.

"Fine! First one to get 5 numbers win!" Arizona let Andi's hand go. She walked up to a group of girls and her fellow just watched her until she finishes her beer.

Arizona felt happy. She will win this! She's good. She had a very good game. With her blue eyes and dimples no one can resist. She got 3 numbers already. 2 brunettes and one red head. She was still thinking if she would ever use it but she just needed to win. Andi watched her as she walks over a guy who was drinking from the end of the bar. The fellow's eyes widen as she notices Arizona was using the same smile she used on those girls. Andi stood up and walked around too. She was letting Arizona have a buffer time but her boss was good, she didn't know Arizona could actually flirt like that. She laughed internally as she approaches a girl in the far end booth.

Arizona got the 4th number. She was struggling to find the last one. She found an intern entering the bar, she looked around and saw Andi flirting, she didn't want to lose so she ran towards the intern.

"Dr. Robbins?" the intern questioned.

"Give me your number or you'll be assigned night shifts!" Arizona yelled. The intern quickly grabbed a pen from Arizona and writes a number.

Arizona walked to their seats and ordered another glass of wine. She notices Andi walking over with a wicked smug on her face. Arizona was using the papers as a fan when Andi reaches her.

"3 down! 2 more to go!" Andi exclaimed as she watched Arizona grinning continuing to fan herself. "No!" Andi dropped her jaw as she noticed the 5 numbers in Arizona's hand. "No fair! The other one was a guy!"

"There was no rule against that. Yes I am gay, but I'm super-hot. So I win!" Arizona laughed so hard. Her fellow was still shaking her head.

"Fine. What do you want?" Andi said annoyingly.

"So who's the grumpy one now? I told you my game was better! I want free food for a week." Arizona exclaimed.

They end the night laughing. They fell into routine. They work their crazy hours and spend some time on the agreed bar and challenge each other with ridiculous dares. They grew close to one another. Andi will still occasionally bring home some random woman with her. At least she was now sleeping around outside the hospital. They didn't need the drama anymore. Some of the people in the hospital questions their closeness. They will always be whispering around the halls then laughing extensively.

But one day Andi was nowhere to be found. It was her day off but she usually spends her time around the hospital. Arizona was a little bit worried. She considered Andi as her bestfriend and it was unusual that Andi wouldn't talk to Arizona. She looked around the usual place Andi would hang out at. Nothing.

She sent her couple of messages and voicemail. Nothing. She was done for the day, usually she and Andi would be going to the agreed bar and challenge each other. She sighed. Then her phone beeped. Notifying for a new message.

Beep beep beep.

Andi Tan: Cemetery.

Arizona rushed to get out of the hospital and drove over the cemetery. She drove by and noticed Andi sitting beside a head stone. She parked her car and walked out. She read the head stone Andi was looking at. It was her brother. She walked over and sat beside Andi. She was sitting with her knees to her chest and her arms was resting on it. Her back was leaning by the tree. Arizona slipped her own arm over Andi's and leaned her head on Andi's shoulders. They sat there in silence when Andi cleared her throat. Arizona already noticed that she was crying. She knew this already, Andi was like her. She didn't want anyone to see her vulnerability. But she was sweet and kind person with a soft heart. She just had some issues.

"It's his birthday today." Andi started. Arizona just nodded. "I was always with him during his birthday. Even when I left, I made sure I was around during his birthday. Even for a minute. So I can hug him and tell him happy birthday." Andi sighed and wipe another tear. Arizona stayed silent.

"Thank you." Andi said. Arizona looked up and wondered. Andi then looked at her. "I never bonded with anyone. I was always close with Kyle. He was my only friend. The bestfriend. I always tend to flirt around so I never had any friends. So thank you for being my friend."

Arizona smiled at this confession. "The best! The best friend" Andi laughed at this. "Ugh. You are so perky like Kyle. Always so happy."

"Maybe he sent me? To be a brother to you?" Arizona asked. She really feels comfortable with Andi. They felt the same way.

"A brother with boobs huh?" Andi snarked. They laughed so hard.

"You remind me of Timothy too. We'd always hang out with each other because we move around a lot we only had each other. We were both competitive. We love challenging each other. Maybe our brothers are hanging out the same way we are." Arizona laughed at this thinking about Timothy now does not make her that sad. She loves her brother, yes. But he'd hate to see her sad. She grew out of being depressed whenever she talks about Tim. "And Mark! He was kind of a brother to me! All your sexual inappropriateness!" Arizona pulled Andi up and dragged her couple of head stones ahead. Andi was confused what was happening.

"Mark! Lexie! Meet Andi!" Arizona exclaimed talking to the head stone. "Lexie was Mark's one true love. She brings out the best in Mark. He was an amazing father. He would have loved to meet you and challenge you as well. Well, if Lexie does not kick his ass hitting on other girls." Arizona laughed at Mark and Lexie's memories. Andi laughed at Arizona's childish antics.

"We were all together during the plane crash." Arizona admits. She talked about the plane crash with Andi but no specific details. "I miss them. And I need to apologize to them. I lived but I made everyone suffer with my depression." Arizona exhaled. Andi listened to Arizona. They were not really touchy feely with each other. They both hated being vulnerable but with each other not judging it really does not feel awkward. "Mark, Callie and I. We are not together anymore. I let her go. I want her to be happy. I'm sorry. I'm super jealous of you and Lexie."

They stood there for a while. It was beginning to rain so they decided to go. They went back to Kyle's grave and Andi tapped the head stone like it was her brother's shoulder. "Happy Birthday Slugger."

Callie

Days went by. She was beginning to have her routine. Her work in New York was not as busy as working in Seattle. She could drop Sofia off to school, pick her up. Penny was barely home. She worked crazy hours. She couldn't feel that she has a girlfriend anymore. Sofia has a sleepover and she could not just sulk in the apartment. She was walking around her block finding something to do. She walked by a residential area when she heard some call her name.

"Callie Torres! Is that you?!" Callie turned her head to see who called her.

"Addison Forbes-Montgomery!" She yelled and ran to Addison and hugged her.

"What are you doing here in the Big Apple?" Addison asked her friend. Callie smiled from ear to ear. It was nice seeing an old friend in this new city.

"I moved here a couple of months ago." Callie replied. Addison invited her to come inside a big house behind her. "What are you doing here?" Callie asked.

"Well, knowing that I own this place its not weird that I'm here." Addison offered Callie to sit on the couch. "You have to tell me everything! Let me get some wine!" Addison came back with two glasses and a bottle.

"So, New York?" Addison poured the wine into the glasses. Callie didn't know where to start.

"Yeah. Penny got the grant to work here and we moved." Callie stated.

"Penny?" Addison asked. Callie knew bringing Penny up was going to open a can of worms. But Addie was her friend. She needed to be honest with her.

"Penelope Blake. She transferred from Dillard." Callie replied. She was not going to cut to the chase. It was wonderful to have someone who knows her.

"Wait, Dillard. As in Derek's hospital?" Addison asked. Addison was in Seattle for Derek's funeral but she was not there when the news of Penny being part of Derek's care.

"Yes. She was on Derek's case Addie." Callie said sadly. Of course she cared about Penny, but Derek was family. He took her in when Arizona cheated. They worked on the robotic leg. He was a dear friend. He was family.

"Callie Torres are you seriously dating the doctor who killed Derek? A resident?" Addison questioned. She was upset. Everyone was. But Penny was just a resident then. It was unfortunate that Derek was the one who died.

"Yeah. She didn't tell me either. She didn't know Addie. And I don't know if I'm still dating her." Callie looked down. She was ashamed. Addison just shook her head.

"I was just visiting her to check on my property. I didn't know this day could end up like this." Addison stood up and walked around. "Wait, you don't know if you are still dating her?" Addison asked.

Callie told Addison the whole story. About Arizona and the custody battle. How Arizona let her go. How her visit to Seattle when. How she decided to let Arizona go. How things was her in New York. How lonely she felt here. How Penny was not around.

"Okay, why don't you just dump your resident and go back home? Bailey, I mean Chief Bailey would hire you in a heartbeat." Addison sipped her wine.

"Its not that easy Addie you know that. And Arizona, Arizona's there. Moving on." Callie finishes her wine.

"It is actually. Come on. If you are this unhappy with this relationship with that coin, end it. Think about it here. You and Sofia and stay here while you think things over. I'll be flying out to LA in a couple of weeks so you won't really feel that lonely staying here." Addison suggested. Callie was thinking it over. Penny was good to her. She was missing a lot. They don't have a decent relationship here.

"I'll think about it Addie." Callie said. She needed to talk to Penny.

"You know where I am and my number. Just call Callie." Addison replied. They hugged and said their good byes. She walked around some more. She decided. She was not going to lie to herself anymore.

Penny arrived late in the evening. "Callie?" Penny placed her bags over the table. Callie was sitting on the couch.

"Hey." Penny leaned it to kiss Callie but was stopped by Callie's hand. "What's wrong?" Penny asked.

"Everything's wrong Penny. Everything." Callie said. She sighed. This was going to be hard but she had to. For her. For Sofia.

"What do you mean?" Penny asked still oblivious about their problems.

"You are never here Penny. I don't even feel that I have a girlfriend anymore. I left Seattle for you. I left my family, friends to be with you and you just don't seem to recognize that. Sofia's having a hard time adjusting here because this is not home for her." Callie started.

"I'm a resident Callie. I have crazy hours. I have research and everything else. You were a resident too. You should understand how hard it is." Penny explained. She knew where this was going but she loves Callie

"I do understand. What I don't understand is how I can be so selfish. I uprooted Sofia, she didn't need to move. And I didn't need a demotion from being a chief of a department to a simple attending. I'm not the badass surgeon anymore. I'm not Callie Torres anymore." Callie confessed. "I'm not me."

"What do you mean? Is this about Arizona?" Penny asked.

"What? No. Of course not. This is about us. Me and Sofia." Callie defended. Yes she does miss her ex-wife. She always tries to hear Arizona's voice when Sofia calls her. She sounded happy. Carefree. She loves that voice. But this. This is definitely about her and Penny.

"Really? Because before you came back from Seattle everything was okay. Or so I thought. Maybe this has something to do with that box you kept in Sofia's room?" Penny snarked.

"What box?" Callie asked. She lied. She knew exactly what Penny was talking about. She just finds it easier to lie.

"The box dedicated to Arizona." Penny walked to Sofia's room and widens her eyes. She was so shocked and ran back to Callie.

"Where are Sofia's things Callie?!" Penny yelled. She looked around and noticed that Callie's and Sofia's things are nowhere to be found. "Where are your things Callie?!" Penny yelled again.

"At a friend's house. I'm so sorry Penny. I tried. I really did. But this is not working out. We can't work out. I have a daughter to think of. A career. It was a mistake to give that all up. I had a village in Seattle. This was all on me. I chose this. I was selfish." Callie cried. She really did care about Penny. But she always does fill something missing in her. Penny walks over Callie and held her hands.

"Please Callie. Let me try. I'll try. I'll be more present here with you. With Sofia." Penny was crying now too. Pleading Callie to stay. But Callie already made up her mind.

"I'm so sorry Penny. I do care about you. I do. But this was wrong." Callie stood up and walked towards the door.

"Callie! Please!" Penny pleaded. "My grant is just for a year. In a couple of months I'll be in Seattle too. If being away from Seattle is the problem, if being in New York is the problem. Its not going to be a problem anymore when I or we move back. You'll have your old job. Sofia will be back there too. Please Callie don't leave."

Callie walked towards Penny, she wiped away the tear in Penny's cheek. She kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry." She muttered and left.

She settled in Addison's old house. She knew it was Derek's and Addison's house before. She fixed up the spare room for Sofia.

"Want a drink?" Addison offered while shaking a bottle of tequila.

"Hell yes." Callie said. It was hard breaking up with Penny. But it was even hard to plan what to do next.

The sat down on the couch taking shot after shot. Addison didn't say anything and waited for Callie to start talking. She couldn't handle the silence anymore.

"So, what's next?" Addison said.

"Uhm? Its still not finish Addie. We're doctors. I think dying from alcohol poisoning is highly frowned upon." Callie replied.

"I mean what's next for you and your little girl? Are you going back to Seattle?" Addison asked. As much as she missed her friend, she knows that Seattle was the best place for Callie.

Callie thought about it while she got back from the apartment she shared with Penny to Addison's house. She was still thinking about it. "I don't know Addie. I can't just pull Sofia from school. But I guess yes. I'll go back. Can I stay here until I have to go?" Callie asked. She didn't want to lease another place for her and Sofia just to leave it when she's ready to go back. Addison smile and placed her hand over Callie reassuring her.

"Of course. When are you going back?" Addison asked.

Arizona

One week, one more excruciating week until she sees her little girl. She could not care less about Callie. She was in a good place now. She has a great job saving little humans, wonderful friends. She was happy. She wonders if Callie would be staying for Christmas too. Or if she'll be bring her perfect pretty Penny along. After the last time Callie was in Seattle, they didn't talk that much. They exchange emails about Sofia. Sofia uses her phone to call so whenever Callie's number comes up she'd assumed it was her daughter. She didn't care. She just wants her daughter to spend Christmas with her. She was happy.

Ring ring ring.

"Hello?" She answered knowing it was her daughter on the other line.

"Mama!" Sofia exclaimed. "I missed you!"

"I miss you too sweetheart! I can't wait to see you. I have a surprise for you when you get here." Arizona explained. She didn't want to spoil the surprise but she was so excited to see her daughter.

"I have a surprise for you too! Its Mommy and my gift for you!" Sofia yelled excitedly. Arizona couldn't help but to smile.

"And what is that?" Arizona asked.

"It's a surprise Mama." Sofia giggled. Arizona was laughing now but her pager just rang. "Mama have to go now, I'll see you when you get here! I love you!"

"Everyday!" Sofia replied. She ran towards the ER literally skipping. She was so excited to see her little girl.

"I'm assuming that you took that gorgeous woman home if you are this happy."

Arizona glared at Andi who was assessing the patient. Meredith and April were just watching their interaction.

"Shut up Tan. My daughter will be here in less than a week. I am giddy about that." Arizona pulled on her gloves. "Page Carlson!"

"Dr. Robbins, Dr. Carlson is no longer on our staff." Meredith said. They continued to work on the patient. April looked at Meredith then Arizona.

"What do you mean no longer in our staff? We need an ortho consult for this kid. Page Karev. I need more hands." Arizona continued to work on the patient.

"Bailey hired a new Ortho Chief." April answered while setting the monitors up.

"They are paging me to the NICU. I need to go." Andi said.

"Go!" Arizona yelled frantically. "Who?" She asked April. April looked at Meredith and saw her shook her head.

"Did you tell her yet?" Alex walked in and wore his gloves as he looked over a distracted Arizona. He looked at Meredith and April. They both shook their heads.

"Tell me what? Where the hell is ortho?!" Arizona was now throwing lap pads away. The kid was bleeding out. "Get and OR ready!" Arizona continued to fix the kid. They were wheeled in the OR.

In the OR, Karev, Grey and Kepner kept looking at each other and Arizona notices. "What?" She asked annoyed at the three not concentrating on the patient. "Where the hell is ortho? Page them again!"

"Here." Arizona heard a voice coming in. She knew this voice. She practically fell in love with this angelic voice. She was so scared to look over who said that. She can hear footsteps moving towards her. She smelled a very particular scent. She only knew one person who smelled this good. Her body went weak.

"I'm here." The person spoke again. Arizona slowly looked up. Recognizing the person in front of her.
