I don't know what I said last chapter, but I checked my e-mail and had like 6 reviews at once. That is awesome. Maybe something about rebelling against parents....Anyways, thanks!
And thanks to my big sister Meredith ;) Always there for me. Go read her fics. You may know her better as Kristyn the Kid.
And I had a major meltdown when writing this chapter. I hated it. It's just a fluffy filler because I don't want to end this yet.
And, finally, I apologize for this being shorter than usual.
"Hey Arizona, check it out," Callie called. She pulled her hands away from the popcorn bowl, balancing it on her pregnant stomach just as Arizona came out of the kitchen with a bottle of water in her hand. She laughed, mostly at Callie's thrilled expression. "This is awesome! I should have gotten pregnant sooner!"
"So what movie are we watching tonight?" Arizona asked, kneeling in front of the bookcase full of DVDs, an odd compilation ranging from kids movies to romance movies to horror movies. Callie squinted, trying to read the titles from her position on the couch.
"Ooh, let's watch Top Gun. I haven't seen that in so long," Callie said excitedly.
"Huh." Arizona flipped over the DVD case, reading the back cover. "I don't think I've ever seen this…."
"Are you serious? Well now we're definitely watching it. It's amazing!" Callie informed her. Arizona shrugged and put it in the DVD player, making sure to adjust the volume on the TV so they wouldn't be blasted out of the room.
…
Arizona sat with her head cocked to the side. Callie glanced over, confused when saw the thoughtful look on Arizona's face. She raised her eyebrows. Arizona felt Callie's eyes on her.
"You know…I've been gay nearly all my life, and even I think that Tom Cruise looks hot in this movie," Arizona explained without turning away from the TV screen. Callie laughed.
"You think he looks good now, just wait. There's one scene where he's in nothing but a towel and another where he's in his underwear," Callie said. Now it was Arizona's turn to laugh.
"You're such a newborn," she joked. Callie's cheeks flushed bright pink.
"I am not a newborn! I've been on…this side…about two years now," Callie defended herself. Arizona giggled at the way Callie had worded her sentence.
"But you've only ever been with two women," Arizona teased playfully.
"I can't help I found the perfect one early on," Callie mumbled. Arizona's grin melted off her face.
"Damn it, why do you have to say things like that?" Arizona asked rhetorically, leaning forward to kiss Callie. Callie quickly moved the popcorn bowl to the coffee table before its contents met the floor. At first the kiss was awkward with Callie's pregnant belly in the way, but Arizona simply squeezed in beside Callie and the back of the couch so she could better reach her lips.
Soon Top Gun was forgotten, still playing on their television, the light from which lit up the room with a blue-ish tint. Both women were too absorbed in each other to notice that Tom Cruise was getting laid while 'Take My Breath Away' played for the hundredth time.
"Jeez, do you have any idea what you do to me?" Callie gasped, trying to catch her breath. Arizona giggled.
"I think so. I mean, you did offer to have my baby for me," Arizona pointed out. "Did I ever thank you for that?"
"Once or twice," Callie said. A complete understatement. Arizona shook her head disapprovingly.
"That's not enough," she whispered. Callie swallowed, excitement pulsing through her veins faster than the blood that carried it.
…
"That was a very good movie," Arizona said seriously, trying to sit up. Her left hand was completely numb from they way she'd been laying beside Callie, and it tingled painfully. She tried to shake off the odd sensation.
"It's one of my favorites…or, it was. I don't think it will ever be the same for me again," Callie laughed.
"I'm sorry," Arizona pouted. Callie kissed her bottom lip sweetly.
"Don't be. I like this ending way better," Callie whispered, emphasizing the word 'way'. Arizona smiled, making Callie nearly forget her name.
"Oh," Callie gasped suddenly. Arizona backed away worriedly.
"What? What's wrong?" she asked, fear in her eyes. Callie's hand left Arizona's back and held on to her bulging stomach.
"I think the baby just kicked," Callie explained, a smile forming on her face. Arizona's face lit up. Callie propped herself up against the arm of the couch as Arizona scooted down so that she lay on her stomach between Callie's legs, her face level with Callie's belly. She wrapped her arms around Callie's waist, holding herself up on her elbows.
"Hey honey," Arizona whispered sweetly to the baby. She traced lazy shapes on Callie's stomach as she talked with one fingernail. Callie tried to suppress the shivers that were sent up her spine. "Hi. Are you okay in there? Yeah, I thought you were. We're okay out here too. We've been waiting for you for a while now. You have to stay in there for a little while more, but you're being very well taken care of, I promise. We can't wait to meet you….Love you." Arizona kissed the thin fabric of Callie's tee-shirt before looking up at Callie's beautiful, smiling face. One of Callie's hands was absently playing with one of Arizona's blonde curls; the other was slowly rubbing her back.
"You are going to be an amazing mother," she said quietly to Arizona. Arizona returned the adoring look she'd just received.
"So will you. I can never thank you enough for what you have done for me, and for what you continue to do for me. I could say it a thousand times a day every day for the rest of my life and it still will never be enough."
"You could always show me," Callie suggested after pretending to ponder the problem for a moment. Arizona laughed.
"Even that wouldn't be enough to express to you how I feel. I can't explain it, I just…" Arizona trailed off, at a loss for words. Callie leaned forward the best she could to whisper in Arizona's ear.
"I know how you feel Arizona, because I feel the exact same way about you." Arizona giggled, rubbing her ear.
"Hey, that tickles!" she accused through laughter.
"So?" Callie asked innocently, smiling at Arizona's reaction.
Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say
Take my breath away
Anyways, so keep reviewing. Please. Yell at me for how sucky this chatper was, I deserve it.
