Anyway, thanks a lot for the review! They are greatly appreciated.

Enjoy!

Chapter 10: Speak Now

[General POV]

Callie tosses and turns in her bed, reliving a nightmare perhaps. The sheets on her bed have been tossed onto the floor, and so have the pillows. Everything here is chaotic beyond belief, both reflecting on the events of last night and Callie's emotions. Callie bolts upright, sweat trickling down her forehead.

"Arizona!" she exclaims.

Only silence answers her. Looking around the room, she notices that Lucy's bed is still empty and made as expected, but as she turns she also sees that her girlfriend is gone. There is no sound coming from their living room or from their kitchen and she knows that Arizona has cancelled her morning jogs since she found out about her pregnancy. "Where could she be?" Callie asks herself.

Walking over to the calendar, she realizes that today is Sunday. This does not make her feel any better about Arizona's whereabouts. There are no classes on Sunday.

She goes to the shower after deciding that Arizona might have went on a walk. "It's a stupid excuse I know, but I'm just worn out," she says out loud to the walls.

After her shower, she feels more awake, and it is now that fear finally kicks in. It's 12 o'clock and she still hasn't heard from Arizona yet.

"I should call her…" Callie says as she picks up her cell phone.

XXX-XXX-XXX *beep* Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

She dials again.

*beep* Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

Callie leaves her dorm in a hurry, now more worried about Arizona than ever. Questions fire through her mind and she fails to notice that the two men from the Secret Services are also missing.

"What if she fell somewhere? What if she hurt herself? Is the baby okay? What if they aren't?"

She rushes down the stairs, completely not willing to push her luck with elevators today. She tries calling Lucy after fumbling with her phone for a good moment of time.

XXX-XXX-XXX…

"Hello?..." Lucy says with her voice still groggy with sleep.

I practically shout into the phone, "Lucy! Where's Arizona! Has she called you?"

"…Sh…Callie…you're so loud…" she whispers, clearly hung over from her study group yesterday.

Callie runs outside and looks around, unsure of which way to go, or even where to start look. She clutches the phone tightly against her ear, hoping that Lucy has something to offer her.

"Oh wait, wait, wait…" Lucy stumbles, "…Is that Arizona on the television?"

"You see her! Where? Wait," Callie says, finally remembering to whisper, "She's on television?"

"…Mhm. I think it's at Lawrence Hall. It looks like a press conference; I see those two douchebags standing near her. And….that bitch. Oh looky! It's Dr. Webber!" The sight of her idol snaps Lucy out of her hangover. Callie clings onto every word Lucy says, and yet it still doesn't make sense to her.

"She…uh…what? How?"

"Look, I'll meet you there in 15, just let me shower first."

*clicks* Lucy hangs up on her, and Callie stands out in the open, her mouth gaping at what just happened. She needs to figure out how to get to Lawrence Hall and how to get there fast.

15 minutes later.

Standing outside of this tall treacherous building, Callie waits patiently for Lucy. With her hands in her pockets, she paces back and forth trying to clear her head. She is scared, but she attempts to put on an emotionless mask. She can't show weakness. What really shakes Callie up are the threats that the woman at Babies 'R Us made earlier. She wonders if the woman will stand by her words.

"That cold, heartless, lying bitch!" Callie curses under her breath as Lucy comes running up, her pony tail bobbing up and down as she does so.

"Sorry!" Lucy pants as she crouches down to catch her breath. "This is so much further than I remember it to be."

Callie says nothing but approaches the door, knowing that Lucy is following behind her. She steps inside into the darkness. The coolness of the air conditioner greets them, but also a bald man in a bouncer-like outfit.

"You shouldn't be here," he simply states. A younger and much petite woman in the same outfit steps up beside him. Instead of reinforcing her partner's claims, she meets Callie's gaze with a smile and winks. "Are you two part of the newspaper club for the school?"

"What? N…" Lucy starts, but Callie stops her in her tracks.

"What my friend meant to say was, 'No way we aren't!' she's a weird one," Callie chuckles, as she looks into the woman's eyes with thanks.

"Ah," she says, "Your friend is very funny. Here, let me show you where to go." She comes up from behind the two and places both hands on each of their shoulders. She walks them down a long dark hallway leading up to the auditorium. At the door, she stops them as Callie reaches to open the doors. She turns to Lucy and presses her index finger against Lucy's collarbone, slowly tracing it down, but stopping just before her cleavage.

"Since I helped you guys out back there," she says while biting her lower lip suggestively, "How about dinner tonight?"

Callie almost bursts out laughing at the look of shock on Lucy's face, but she contains herself for Arizona's sake. She needs to find Arizona and if this woman wants Lucy to go on a simple date … then so be it. Nodding frantically behind the woman's back, she makes it evident that she wants Lucy to say yes.

Lucy flashes Callie a glare, but then softens her expression for this woman.

"That'd be great, I have a feeling my boyfriend and you would get along so well," she says with a smile, hoping to get her message clear.

The petite woman pouts slightly and says flustered, "Oh, I actually have something tonight. Maybe some other time? I have to get back to the door. Dave might worry. Bye."

She dashes off with amazing speed for her stature. Unable to contain it any longer, Callie bursts out laughing when the woman disappears from sight. Lucy punches her gently on the shoulder and pushes open the doors. They sneak in the back of the auditorium and sit watching the press conference.

Arizona is very uncomfortable here. The bright lights are making her very warm and the crowds are suffocating. She is worried about Callie because the Bob and Phil didn't let her tell Callie where she was headed this morning. Dr. Webber, Dr. Bailey and the woman from Babies 'R Us are sitting beside her now, all in a row facing the reporters. She learns that the woman with the obnoxious red hair's name is Erica Hahn.

Camera flashes fill the room and a reporter speaks.

"How far along are you?"

Arizona shakily takes the microphone in front of her. "I…uh, about 2 months…"

Another reporter speaks, "But you look like you're almost 16 weeks, is there something you're not telling the public?"

Dr. Bailey steps in. She feels sympathy towards Arizona. She believes that a woman should not be paraded like this because of her pregnancy. Her superior, Dr. Webber does not believe so and does not understand.

"This pregnancy is being monitored and it is observed as being half the duration of a regular pregnancy."

"Arizona! I hear you have a girlfriend, where is she now?"

"At home." Home is where Arizona desperately wishes to be. At home in Callie's arms is perfect for her.

"Is it true that you are going to be staying under the custody of Ms. Hahn from now on?"

"No." Arizona answers bluntly.

Callie lets out a breath of relief as she hears this.

"What will happen to the baby? Channel 7 News."

Arizona opens her mouth to speak; she desperately wishes to tell everyone that she has a little rocket ship crib at home waiting for her baby. Erica stops her.

"The baby will become the ward of the ARHQ, placed under my custody and guardianship where we can investigate and nurture it."

Arizona wipes tears rolling down her face as she hears this again. Even after being told many times that this is happening. Callie's heart aches at the sight of this, and also this strange feeling in the pit of her stomach fills her as she hears that the baby would be leaving her when it is born. She jumps up dramatically, drawing attention to herself and Lucy as Lucy tries to get her to sit down.

"Hey! Your can't do that!" she shouts and gestures to Richard Webber and Erica Hahn, "You cold heartless bitch! And you media-attention whoring bastard!"

Arizona's eyes light up at the sight of her girlfriend's audacity. Erica stands up and gestures to the guards of the room. She speaks into the microphone calmly. "This is none of your concern as to what we can do and can't do."

Lucy stands up beside Callie and shouts the same thing, "Yeah! You cold heartless bitch!" She turns to Dr. Webber, but is too afraid of him to call him what Callie just called him.

"If you two call me that again, I will forcefully remove you from here."

Callie draws in a deep breath, and looks at Lucy. They both nod and turn towards Erica Hahn.

"YOU. COLD. HEARTLESS. BITCH," they both shout as loudly as their lungs allow them to. Dr. Bailey and Arizona start laughing through her tears, which causes them to receive glares from Hahn and Webber. Callie and Lucy feel bone shattering grips on their arms as the guards try to take them outside.

Struggling, Callie pushes one away and runs toward Arizona. She stands before Arizona and takes her hand. "This is my baby as well! You can't make the choice of giving him away like this!"

"Her," Dr. Bailey corrects Callie under her breath.

"Right, her. Hear me out. I…this is my child as well. And you, and her," Callie says placing her hand on Arizona's baby bump, "You are my family."

"Guards!" Erica Hahn shouts despite this heart-warming moment.

Callie turns and glares at her. "You lied." The guard comes back, and Callie whirls around shooting daggers at him. "Back off! Or else I'll break every single bone in your freaking body!" Taken back by the suddenness of her words, the man stumbles back and stays there.

Callie takes Arizona's hand and walks her away from the table. The audience applauds them as they walk down the aisles of the auditorium. Whistles and shouts erupt from the crowd. Walking to Lucy who finally is out of the death grip of her captor, Callie takes her hand as well and the three of them walk out of the building.

"Let's go home guys," Lucy says, still trying to take in what Callie just did. She finally knows that to Callie, Arizona and herself are family.

Arizona smiles as she senses that a part of Callie finally realizes that this is their baby.

"I would love that."

"I can't wait to meet her," Callie mumbles under her breath.

"Who?" Lucy and Arizona ask.

She looks to Arizona, "Our baby."
