Hey everyone. I am sorry that it took me longer than normal to upload this chapter and that there isn't much to it. I was on spring break and now I have been busy again with school. So, I apologize. Let me know what you think.

Chapter Ten

Months had passed by and Callie wasn't surprised that she hadn't heard from her family much. Sofia was going to be one soon. So, she had suspected her family just didn't care. Her father was trying, but not too hard. Her mom and sister on the other hand, had no desire to accept her relationship. So, when Callie's parents showed up at their apartment they were all surprised.

"Uh… Mommy, daddy… What...What are you doing here?" Callie said as she opened the door seeing their faces. This was the first time she came face to face with her mom since Arizona and her came out as a couple. It had only been since Sofia was born that she seen her father.

"We're here to see you and Sofia, mija." He smiled and hugged her. Her mom had not made eye contact with her since she opened the door. "Oh, okay. Sure, uhm, come in." She all the sudden felt awkward.

Arizona came out of their bedroom. "Calliope, who was at the do-Oh!" She said as she came through the hallway and saw who was standing there. "Hi." She smiled, warmly with a tilt of her head. Callie thought it was the cutest thing how she always did that head tilt.

Carlos walked over to Arizona and hugged her. "Hi, Arizona." He smiled as he pulled away. Callie's mother just stood, silently. Arizona went over to shake her hand, but was rejected. So, instead she walked over to Callie. "Okaaaay." She sighed softly.

"So, where is our grandbaby?" Carlos asked, rubbing his hands together.

"She should be waking up from her nap soon. She's been down for a little while. I can go get her, if you want or we can wait." Callie stated.

He smiled. "I can wait a few minutes. Tell me, mija, how have you been? How have the both of you been?" Looking from one women to the other.

"I have been good, we have been good." Arizona replied with a smile. Then Callie's mother sighed.

"Okay, seriously? You came in my house, you do not make eye contact with anyone here, you say NOTHING at all, then you act like that toward my relationship? If you don't want to be there, then go. I'm staying with Arizona rather you like it or not. Daddy is accepting is, so why can't you? I am your child. I have your grandchild and you can't even act like an adult for her? I've been with her for over three years, move on!"

Her mom sighed, once again and then started yelling in spanish. "Calliope, esto no es la forma en que te crió! Se supone que es un hombre y una mujer, no está! No se suponía que tienen un hijo fuera del matrimonio! NO es usted quien me criaron."

("Calliope, this is not how we raised you! It is supposed to be a man and a women, not this! You were not supposed to have a baby out of wedlock! You are NOT who I raised.")

Callie broke down in tears, but had the most shocked and pissed off face she could manage. She opened her mouth and words failed her. Wow… She thought.

This is when Carlos jumped in. "That's enough. She is our daughter. She is who we raised. This has always been Calliope. I know that this is different than what we are used to, but that is still your daughter! That is our daughter, Lucia!"

She gave her husband the nastiest look she could find and stormed out of the apartment. He smiled. "I hope she doesn't plan on leaving." He held up the keys. They all shared a laugh. "Can I see my grandbaby now, so I can tend to your mother?" Arizona walks to the other room to get Sofia. "Hi, baby." She smiled as she picked up her daughter. "Abuelo is here to see you." She kissed her cheek and Sofia cooed with a smile on her face. When Arizona walked back into the living room Callie was on the couch with her head in her hands, crying. Her father was next to her. Arizona felt her heart sink. God, she hated seeing Callie upset because of family drama. She walked over to the couch and sat there. "Carols, do you want Sofia and I'll sit here with Callie?"

He smiled a half smile. "Sure." Then reached his arms out for the baby. When he gets Sofia he heads to her room to allow Callie and Arizona to have some time to talk.

"Babe?" Arizona puts her hand on Callie's back. "Hey, it's going to be okay. I know that it sucks, but we will get through it. I will be here, Sofia , Mark, your dad, the hospital, we're all here."

She lifted her head up to soak in Arizona and then lets out a sigh. "I know, I know. It just sucks. I'm trying to be understanding and I don't throw it in her face or anything. I know that her religion thi-" She was cut off by the front door opening. It was Mark. Arizona sighed. She still wasn't the most comfortable around him, but she knew she had to get used to it, for Callie. Callie needed him, Arizona could see that. Callie wiped her tears away and tried to contain herself when she looked toward the door and seen him walking toward them."Cal, what's wrong?" He rushed over to her. About an hour had gone passed since the argument between Callie and her mother, when finally she walked back in. She didn't look toward the three on the couch, she didn't say a word and she went straight to where her husband was. A few minutes later muffled voices came to an end and the walked out together. Carlos had Sofia in his arms. "Mija, we have to go." He stated and you could tell her was frustrated. He walked over and Mark offered to hold the baby. Callie stood up to hug her father by. "Bye, daddy." She said softly as she began to cry again. "Bye, Mija. I love you." He said as he released her. "I love you too."

Her parents walked out of the door and she broke down in sobs. Arizona got over to Callie and held her. They eventually made their way to the floor. Arizona didn't talk nor move. She sat there with her fiance' in her lap and let her cry all the pain away. After about an hour Callie had cried herself to sleep on the floor, in Arizona's lap. Arizona continued running her hands through Callie's hair. Glad that she wasn't crying anymore. In this moment she was grateful for Mark coming over. He was taking care of Sofia so she could be there for Callie. She felt bad for just leaving Sofia with him like that, but man, she was grateful.

"Mark…" She said softly. He looked at her and lifted his eyebrow. "Thank you for helping out with her while I make sure Calliope is okay. I really appreciate it. You're helping me out, so much." She smiled at him and for once in a long time, he saw it reach her eyes. Callie always pointed it out that her girlfriend had the biggest whitest, most beautiful smile she has ever seen. So, Mark started to notice it. Callie talked about Arizona like she put the stars in the sky and he could see why she thought that.

"You're welcome. I have no problem watching here if you guys need it. Like I said I'll be here for all of you, always." They smiled at each other and Arizona put her attention back on her sleeping fiance. "And Arizona?" He added.

"Yes, Mark?" She looked up again.

"Thank you for giving me another chance. I'm sorry for everything. I'm glad you came back for her. She never stopped talking about you."

What? Never? She seemed so okay when Arizona came back. She smiled and again returned her attention to Callie who was starting to wake up.

Arizona leaned down and kissed her lightly and waited until she woke up fully to speak.

"Hey, beautiful. How are you feeling?" She questioned.

"I… I'm okay." She showed a sleepy half smile. "You could have woken me up. You didn't have to stay down here on the floor."

"Yes I did." Arizona kissed her again. "I had to make sure that you were okay."

Callie finally sit up and groaned. She felt hungover, but it had been such a long time since she drank. She hadn't since that night. She shudders at the thought. Now she was in the mood for alcohol, but she had a baby. A sexy, but very pouty face formed on Callie and it caused Arizona to blush and things began to tingle.

"What's that face for?" Arizona laughed.

Callie reached up, not changing her facial expression and touched Arizona's cheek. "Your laugh is so beautiful, but this face is because I thought about alcohol and realized I can't have any." She groaned again and Arizona laughed.

"Cal, I can watch her if you guys want a night to yourselves." Mark offered.

"Really?" Callie was surprised and eyes Arizona who was just as surprised as she was.

"Yes, if you're both okay with it. I mean, I'll be right across the hall. Besides, you two deserve it."

"Arizona, what do you think?"

"I…" She paused and looked at how excited Callie was to have a night alone with her. "I think that would be amazing." They all smiled. Callie was truly shocked that Arizona had agreed to this, but she was happy. They haven't been alone in what felt like forever.

After a couple hours Mark finally took Sofia over to his apartment. He was nervous about this, but he was so excited to be able to spend time with her.

Callie and Arizona went straight for the tequila bottle. This night was very needed.

They curled up on the couch, turned on a random movie, and shared this moment.

They talked and laughed and Arizona felt herself fall over again.

A few shots in, they both looked at each other and felt a spark. Callie bit her lip and Arizona blushed. They both leaned in for a kiss and butterflies started, want, love, and need rushed through them. They didn't realize how much they had missed each other.

Arizona felt the need to be in control, right now.

"Calliope." She gasped as she pulled away from the heated moment.

"Arizona." She responded through rough breaths.

"I love you."

"I love you too." Callie responded and pulled her fiance down for another kiss. This time they didn't break apart for anything. It had been months since they got to freely be together in so long. They knew that Sofia wouldn't know what was going on nor would she probably be awake, but they just couldn't get like this with her in the room anymore. They did once and she cried when it was getting intense. Plus, she was getting older.

"Arizona, I miss you. I haven't felt you nor spent alone time with you since Sof was born. I'm sorry that things have been so hectic." Callie said feeling guilty for not thinking of her fiance much.

"Hey, shhh. Things have been crazy. Not only are we doctors, but we have a new baby. I don't mind as long as I get to see you."She smiled and went back to kissing Callie's lips.

Arizona stood up. "I don't think our first time in a long time should be on our couch." She smiled and grabbed Callie's hand. They headed toward their bedroom. A trail of unwanted clothes followed behind them. Arizona felt such a strong desire to be dominant tonight and she's never been that way before, but it was amazing. When they became inches from their bed she pushed Callie back. She fell to the bed with a very audible gasp. Before she knew it Arizona was on top of her, kissing her neck, and her hands roaming over Callie's bare skin.

It was around noon before Mark walked over to Callie and Arizona's apartment. He knocked and then entered. "Cal?" He said softly. "Arizona?"

He walked through the apartment, cautiously. "Cal?" He yelled, louder. He knew that he probably shouldn't go in their room. He heard someone walking toward him. You could tell that she had just woke up. He laughed. "Long night?"

Callie smiled back. "Something like that." She ended with a wink. She reached for Sofia and Mark hesitated. "Go wash your hands first, nasty." He laughed as she walked over to the sink in the kitchen. She washed her hands and started a pot of coffee. Reaching for her child again, "Thank you, so much for watching her last night. I haven't had much time with Arizona between work and Sof."

"It's no problem, Torres. Anytime I'm free, I'd be willing to watch her. I like spending time with her." He sighed. "She should know her uncle."

"I agree, uncle Mark." She smiled, slightly. Even though it still pained her that Mark didn't want to be the father in the first place. Mark could tell that it hurt her and he hated the fact that he hurt her. "Cal, we never got to talk."

"What do we need to talk about, Mark?"

"I want you to know why I choose to be her uncle at first."

Callie let out a long sigh. "Okay." She said as she walked toward the couch. "Sit and talk."

He followed her and sat down. "Okay, look, it was a stupid mistake. Before she was born I was far from ready to be a father or even be in a family setting. Now, Lexie and I are trying again. I want a family with her, eventually. So, when she was born and I saw her for the very first time… I… I fell in love with her. I didn't act like it because I knew that it was too late to be her father."

Callie cut him off. "It wasn't too late."

"Okay, I felt as though I waited too long. I know that I should have said something sooner, but I didn't know how. Plus, I saw how happy you and Arizona were together and to be her parents, I didn't want to ruin that. I'm not happy with the situation, but I just want to be in her life however I can." He smiled and his eyes sparkled as he looked down at Sofia.

"Mark…" Callie let out a sigh. "I wish, with all my heart that you would have wanted to be her father. I had hoped, so much that because I am your best friend and you got me pregnant that you would be there, but you weren't. Arizona never wanted kids, but she accepted the situation and she stayed. I thought she'd leave and you'd stay, but then she stayed and I thought maybe I would have the both of you, but… I didn't.. I didn't have my best friend." She felt tears forming, but she refused to let them fall.

"Cal, I was stupid and I know that I can't change that, but look, you and Arizona have a beautiful family together and I am still here. I know that it's not the way that you had hoped for, but I am here and I will always be here. I got your back. I got Arizona's back, rather she likes me or not, and I have Sofia. I love you guys." He smiled and kissed Callie's cheek.

Arizona stood in the doorway and none of them had known until she cleared her throat.

Callie looked at her and smiled. "Hey, baby. How long have you been standing here?" She walked over to her fiance and kissed her on the cheek. "Long enough." Arizona smiled a half smile. Deep down she knew that it was her fault that Mark wasn't treated as their daughters father, but she was protecting her family. She felt guilty, but she couldn't lose her daughter. Arizona grabbed Callie's hand as she tried to walk away and pulled her back. Arizona placed one hand on Callie's cheek and continued to hold her hand with the other. She leaned in and kissed her. This kiss made the room spin. Callie felt her knees go weak. Callie pulled back and bit her lip.

"I love you, Calliope." She smiled.

"I…" She stutters. "I love you, too." She smiled back and squeezed her hand. "So much."

Arizona whispered something in her ear and Callie's face went red. Mark watched the scene and he couldn't help but smile. It had been a long time since he had seen Callie this happy. When Arizona was gone, she tried so hard to be happy, but she just couldn't be. Arizona was her happy place and vise versa.

Mark interrupted their moment, but had to leave. "The hospital just paged me 911. I'm sorry to just drop the baby off, but I got to run."

"Thank you!" Both women replied as he ran out of the door.

"Last night was amazing, Calliope."

She smiled at the comment. "It was. It was so amazing. I have missed you, so much. I know that it has been hard for us to focus on each other, but I want to put more time aside for you. I want to spend more time with you and her."

Callie heard the coffee pot going off. It was hard to believe it had only been about 20 minutes that Mark was there.

"Coffee?" Callie asked.

Arizona bit her lip and shook her head, yes. Following her fiance, she couldn't help but stare at the entire figure of her body. She couldn't stop thinking about how lucky she is to have this woman, to be marrying this woman.

Arizona sat at the bar as she watched Callie make the two of them cups of coffee. It wasn't very often the two of them had days off together, but today was one of them days. They had every intention on spending today at the park with their daughter. This would be her first time at the park and they were sure she would love it.

The two of them drank their cups of coffee and Arizona had Sof in her arms, feeding her. "Are you ready for your day at the park?" Arizona asked.

Sofia shook her head and made a noise like she was beyond excited.

They were finally ready for the park after about an hour. Luckily it was nice out and it was only a ten minute walk. They had one in their backyard, but they wanted to take her somewhere they could swing her by herself. They arrived and found an open baby swing next to another couple and their baby.

The couple was sweet they talked to Callie and Arizona. They shared information about their baby and even said that they had their baby delivered at SGH.

"Oh, really?" Arizona said intrigued. "Who delivered her?"

The wife looked at her wife who had the baby. "Actually." She smiled. "It was you."

Arizona blushed. "Really? I'm so sorry that I don't recognize the two of you." She pouted.

"We didn't expect you to remember us. I'm sure you have so many patients and parents, how could you remember them all?" The woman smiled. "We could never forget you though. You saved our little girl."

"It's my job. It's what I'm good at." Arizona smiled at the two women.

"She's so amazing at her job." Callie added.

Arizona turned with the biggest blue eyes and that smile. "You're amazing too."

"We're amazing." Callie replied and kissed Arizona's cheek.

The other couple watched this moment in awe.

"It was so nice to see you again." Marie said. "We have to get Lilly home for supper. It was so lovely to see you and to meet you Callie." Everyone shook hands. "Again, thank you Arizona for what you did for our little Lily."

Arizona was speechless and she just nodded, her smile met her eyes.

When the other couple walked away Callie leaned in to whisper something to Arizona. "You know, you're truly amazing. When I see moments like that, my heart melts. Then I realize how lucky I am to be marrying someone as beautiful and talented as you, Arizona Robbins. I cannot wait to start my life with you, as my wife."

Arizona felt everything in her tighten as the butterflies fluttered around in her stomach. "I...I love you, Calliope Iphegenia Torres" She pulled the woman in for a kiss, not caring that they were at a park, surrounded by children and homophobes. In this moment, nothing else mattered.

"I love you, with all of my heart." Callie added to her confession.
