Chapter 10
Arizona POV
"Wake up wife….it's Christmas!" I whisper in Calliope's ear as I reach under her shirt to caress her breast. The last few days leading up to today have been hectic and my wife and I haven't had a lot of uninterrupted time together. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if our sweet 5 year old came busting in to our room any moment now. My parents arrived for the holiday 4 days ago and were staying with us. Calliope sister, brother in law, nephew, and dad all flew in yesterday. They were staying in one of the Torres hotels and would be over this morning to spend the day. We had a family dinner last night and my parents got to meet Calliope's family. It was a bit tense between our fathers at first, as that my dad is very protective of Callie and he wasn't trustful of Carlos. I pulled my dad aside and reassured him that Carlos was making a real effort to correct past errors and I promised that I had already made it very clear to Aria and Carlos that I would not allow them to hurt her or our children. After that the 2 men seemed to find a common bond over cigars and scotch. I hear my wife moan under my ministrations to her chest. I roll on top of her and kiss her neck.
"Merry Christmas wife." Calliope says as she grasps my hips and surprisingly rolls us over to where she is on top. As that she has never been a morning person I'm surprised by the move. She leans down and softly kisses my lips.
"I'm excited for our first Christmas as a married couple." She says as she rolls her hips into me. I moan into her neck and reach between us and thrust my hand down the front of her sleep shorts and cup her intimately. She grinds down into my hand.
"Me too! Right now though I want to make you come before we start this day." I grab the back of her neck and pull her down for a kiss full of tongue and teeth. I push past her panties and plunge 2 fingers into her, setting a quick pace as that I'm not sure how long we have and I need to feel my wife come.
"Oh My God Arizona you feel so good!" Calliope whispers against my mouth as she starts to ride my fingers. I curl my fingers and swipe my palm along her clit. I feel her clench around my fingers and she lets out a long moan as she hits her climax. She collapses her body on top of me as she catches her breath. Soon enough we hear the tiny feet of our oldest daughter headed down the hall towards our room and Callie rolls off me. We hear the quiet knock and say come in. The door opens to the cutest thing ever. Sofia standing there with her crazy bed head and her new Christmas pajamas on.
"Bueno mami manana y mama. Es Navidad!"(Good morning mami and momma. It's Christmas!) Sofia exclaims as she comes and crawls on to our bed.
"Buena nina manana. Feliz Navidad!"(Good morning baby girl. Merry Christmas!) I reply as I give her a kiss and a cuddle the Callie does the same. Soon we hear the twins starting to fuss and my parents moving around. I send Sofia to go get her nana and papa and Callie and I head for the nursery to get our sweet 3 month old babies. We get them changed into their cute footie pajamas that are red and white striped like candy canes and head downstairs to my parents and our excited 5 year old. Since we agreed to have Christmas dinner at our house we were expecting Addison, Coop, Liam, Teddy, Henry, Aria, Jake, Max, and Carlos in the early afternoon. We opened presents with my parents and Sofia and the twins. My parents spoiled all of the grandkids not surprisingly, but what they did for Calliope and I was awesome. As that we didn't do a honeymoon because of Callie being pregnant, they offered to come stay with the kids for a week in June and wanted us to book our trip to Spain. My wife bought me a new laptop as that my old was well old. I got Calliope this amazing camera that she had been wanting for some time now and she was excited to get to test it out thru the day today. We had a light breakfast, since we knew we would all be snacking and having a big dinner. My mom took care of bathing Sofia and getting her dressed for the day and Calliope and did the same with the twins and they went down for their morning nap right afterwards. I decided I would hop in the shower and get ready as well since people were going to start showing up soon. As I'm letting the warm water run down my body I hear the shower door open and I smile and turn as my wife enters the shower with me.
"Hi, did you come to help conserve water?" I say with a smirk.
"Well you know me honey; I'm all about the environment. Plus I believe we got interrupted this morning and I owe my wife another Christmas gift." Callie says as she pushes me against the wall.
Callie POV
After Arizona and I enjoy a sexy shower we head back down stairs and we see that Coop, Addison, and Liam have arrived already.
"Hey there guys, Merry Christmas!" I say as Arizona and I kiss and hug our dear friends. I notice that Coop has a box in her hands.
"What do you have there Coop?" I ask her. I watch her eyes light up and look towards my wife.
"Well my Christmas present from my amazing future wife is the new Xbox One and I thought I could bring it over here today and maybe Battleship and I could test it out!" She replies excitedly.
"Seriously! That is awesome!" Arizona exclaims as she takes the box from Coop to check it out.
"Really Red?! You know what you have created right?!" I say teasingly to Addison.
"Yeah I know but she went on for weeks about this silly system that I just couldn't help myself." Addison replies as she looks at Coop fondly. We both chuckle as we watch our significant others wander over to the entertainment system to start hooking up the game system. Addison and I head to the kitchen to help Barbara start some of the snacks and prep work for dinner.
"Are you excited about your family being here today Callie?" Barbara asks me.
"I really am. This last month I have spent a lot of time reconnected with them over the phone. They both have really tried to show me that they are very sorry and want to be in my life. Funny enough my dad asks to talk to Arizona every Sunday after we get done talking and if she is home they usually spend about 20 minutes on the phone together." I say proudly. I was happy with how things were going with my family. Aria and I were actually becoming quite close, which we never really were growing up. She is not the person I grew up with and this person she has become is someone I have come to respect and like very much. My dad has been really amazing, like I said not only is he making the effort with me but with Arizona as well and it has meant a lot to me.
"Well Arizona had to have a talk with Daniel. He is quite protective of you and he wasn't quite sure how he felt about your dad being here. Now I hope you know it comes from a place of love and Daniel just doesn't want you to get hurt again." Barbara tells me. Arizona had already shared her father's concerns with me and that they had a talk and she felt that afterwards her dad was at least willing to give my dad a chance.
"Arizona told me about Daniel's concerns, honestly just when I think I can't love that man any more than I do he goes all protector and it makes me love him more. I know that he is just looking out for his family. Honestly I think he and my dad will actually get along really well." I say. I hear the doorbell and head out to see who has arrived. I smile as I see the 6 month pregnant Teddy walk in with her husband Henry right behind her. Neither her nor Henry wanted a big wedding so they went to the courthouse and had Coop, me, Arizona, and Addison as witnesses and got married. We agreed that we would throw a party/small ceremony after the baby was born. They were expecting a baby boy and we were all very excited. Addison and Coop's little girl was expected about a month before Teddy was and we could hardly wait to meet her as well. I couldn't help but smile when I thought about where the 3 of us were a little over 2 years ago. Teddy had just started to date Henry but still was having a hard time letting anyone in, she really loved Mark and his death really hurt her. Then there was Coop and I, she was hiding herself behind meaningless hook ups and I was using being a single mom as an excuse not to put myself out there. Now here we are with Teddy married to a wonderful man and getting ready to have a baby, Coop was engaged to one of my dearest friends and easily one of the most amazing women I have ever met and they had a beautiful son, and I had married my soul mate and we had 3 beautiful children. Not long after Teddy and Henry arrive the doorbell rings again. I answer the door to my sister and her family and my dad. I smile and give everyone hugs as they enter. I can tell both Aria and my dad are nervous. They know that not only will they be spending more time with my in laws but they will be meeting the people who very much became my family after they left me.
"Alright everyone gather around and let's get this down in one big shot." I say with a chuckle. Arizona comes and stands with me as everyone gathers around.
"Everyone I would like to introduce you to my sister Aria, her husband Jake, my nephew Max, and my father Carlos. You all already know Arizona, next to her is her lovely mother Barbara, her father Colonel Daniel Robbins, whom you all met last night. Next to Daniel is someone who is very special to me, this is Nicole Cooper, or Coop, she has been a very good friend to me over the last couple of years. Next to Coop is her fiancé and my very dear friend Addison Montgomery and she is holding my godson and their son Liam, and then there is my sweet friend Teddy Altman and her husband Henry." I say as I finish introductions. I watch everyone take a minute and greet each other and then I watch Coop, Arizona, Henry, and Jake head back over the video games. My dad and Daniel step out together to have a cigar and Aria lets Max go play with Liam and Sofia.
"Wow Callie your house is gorgeous as is your family." Aria says looking around.
"Thanks Aria, I have really been blessed with amazing friends. I'm so happy to have you here today if I haven't said that yet." I tell her as I hug her. She pulls back with tears in her eyes.
"You have no idea how much it means that you wanted me here." We go to the kitchen where Addison, Teddy, and Barbara are. The rest of the day flies by filled with presents being exchanged and lots of laughter. Dinner is amazing and everyone stuffs themselves and then spread thru out the living room to relax.
"So last year we got to listen to some amazing music, any chance we get that again?" Barbara asks me shyly.
"You want me to sing again?" I ask her. Before I can even answer both Coop and Arizona grab their guitars. Arizona has continued her lessons with Coop and she plays a lot at home for fun and has gotten ridiculously good.
"We will back you up baby!" Arizona says with her dimpled smile. Both her Coop starts playing Silent Night and I begin singing. As the song ends everyone claps.
"I had forgotten how remarkable your voice is Calliope." My father says with love and admiration. Coop and Arizona continue to play and I even get my sister, who also has a great singing voice to sing with me on a few carols. As the kids start to tire out Aria and my dad decide it is time to head back to the hotel. We have decided to have a grown up night at Coop and Addison tomorrow night with all the grandparents agreeing on watching kids, Barbara even offers to take Liam. Everyone says good night to my family. I lean in to hug my sister.
"Thank you again Callie. This is the best Christmas I've had in a long time. I love you and will see you tomorrow." She kisses my cheek and heads out to the car.
"Mija thank you so much for allowing me the honor of spending the day with you and your loved ones. You have amazing people in your life and I'm blessed that you shared that with me today. I love you very much." My father says with tears in his eyes as he pulls me into a hug. I'm fighting my own tears as I reply.
"It meant a lot to have you and Aria here today. Thank you and I love you too." I wave at them as they pull away. I feel Arizona slide her arms around my waist from behind and she rest her chin on my shoulder.
"Merry Christmas wife." She says as she softly kisses my neck.
Merry Christmas indeed.
