Carlos raises his hand to his cheek. "How dare you hi-."
"No how dare you show up unannounced and accuse me of things you will never understand or ever tried to understand." Callie spits out as her body trembles with anger towards her father. "Just leave, I don't want to see you." Callie tries to close the door but Carlos holds up his hand to stop it.
"You're ruing yours and Indies life with what you're doing!" Callie sighs at that.
"No dad, I ruined my life the day I gave into you and married that monster you were so proud to call your son in-law." Callie tells him as tear slip from behind her eyelids.
"He was your husband who supported you." Carlos was getting angrier and angrier which made Callie furious.
"No! He was the man who beat me, abused me a-and r-raped me! Now get lo-lost." Callie was trying to hold in her sobs but she couldn't hold them any longer. More tears flowed as she watched her father falter at her admission.
"Calliope I had no I-."
"I think you should leave." Arizona said in the iciest tone Callie has ever heard and felt the warmth and support as Arizona laid a supportive hand on her back. Carlos looked at the two women and nodded slowly before walking back down the driveway and into his rental car completely heartbroken for his daughter.
Arizona gently closes the door and hooks an arm around Callie's waist. "Come on sweetie, let's get you to bed." Callie lets herself be led by Arizona through the house, the whole time Callie has tears running down her cheeks. Callie sits down on the end of the bed as Arizona grabs a singlet and shorts for the Latina. Callie doesn't make an effort to get dressed so Arizona slowly unbuttons allies shirt pulling it off along with her bra before slipping the singlet over her head and continuing on with her pants. "Scoot up the bed and under the covers, I'll be back in a second." Arizona kisses her forehead before walking out of the room. She races down stairs to grab a bottle of water and then quickly checks Indie while grabbing the baby monitor and heading back to Callie's room. Placing the water and monitor on the bedside table Arizona slips into the sheets, immediately Callie clings to her so she wraps her arms around her back and gently traces patterns up and down her back.
Callie's not sure how long passes in silence as they lay there, only the occasional sniffle comes from Callie as she has her face buried in Arizona's neck breathing in the sweet smell. "I'm sorry about what dad said about you."
"It's ok, you don't have to apologize for him. I just want you to be ok and happy."
"I'm ok." Callie sniffles. "Or I will be ok, I really didn't want him to find out that way or if at all." Callie says holding back more tears.
"I know you're going to b ok because you've got me and you've got Indie." Arizona says softly.
"What were you going to tell me before you saw my dad?" Arizona scrunches her face in confusion but quickly remembers.
"Oh, I was rocking indie to sleep and her eyes were so focused on me, she let out this little giggle and then she was completely out cold. Cutest and funniest thing I've ever seen." Arizona giggles making Callie crack a half smile.
"She is pretty adorable." Callie breathes out. Arizona hums in agreement as they fall into silence again. "I don't know where I would be without you in this very moment." Callie whispers.
"You will never have to know because I'm not going anywhere sweetie." Arizona whispers back.
"Good." Callie breathes out before taking Arizona's lips with hers. Arizona kisses back just as fiercely as tanned hands tangle in blonde curls, Arizona running her hands down Callie's ribs before cupping her ass and getting a moan out of Callie. Arizona rolls over pushing Callie on her back and nestles a knee in between tanned thighs lightly pressing on the Latinas centre. Arizona starts to kiss her way down Callie's jaw and neck making her way across Callie's chest.
"You're so beautiful." Arizona whispers locking eyes with almost black orbs. Callie pulls Arizona back down making her lose her balance and dropping all her weight on Callie before the Latina flips them and slips her hand under the hem of Arizona's singlet running her fingers up smooth ivory skin.
"I want you so bad right now." Callie growls before claiming pink lips again and driving her tongue in tasting purely Arizona. Callie starts to slowly lift Arizona's singlet as she pulls back for air, kissing as the singlet reveals more skin and pausing just at the swell of Arizona's heaving chest and looks up to catch Arizona's eyes. Arizona not being able to take it anymore sits up and rips her singlet off and hooking her hand around Callie's neck connecting them again. Callie brings her hand up and cups a perfect breast revelling in how great it feels. Bringing her lips down to a taught nipple and breathing hot air across it.
"Calliope… Please…" Arizona lets out a guttural moan and flips her head back as plump lips wrap around and gently nip and tease her. "Oh god… yessss." Callie grinds her hips into Arizona's needing to do something about the burning desire growing in her pants. Hooking her thumbs in Arizona's boxer shorts, pulling them down but stops suddenly as a wail comes through the baby monitor making them both freeze with their chests heaving. Callie drops her forehead on Arizona's shoulder and groans making Arizona giggle.
"I'll check on her." Arizona whispers and hops out of bed chucking her singlet on.
Callie listens on the monitor as Arizona calms her little girl down, her eyelids start to droop as a soft hum comes through lulling not only indie to sleep but Callie as well.
"Must have had a bad dream but she's out now." Arizona says climbing in to bed fifteen minutes later only to let out a laugh at seeing Calliope dead to the world. Wrapping herself around the back of Callie listening to her steady breathes and Indies little snores through the monitor and before she knows it darkness overtakes her with a smile on her face.
Arizona is woken up to the noise of sucking coming from somewhere, she can feel Callie wrapped in her arms still from last night and opens her eyes. The sucking noise coming from the monitor tells her indie it awake so she slips carefully out of bed and heads to Indies room to find indie wide awake and looking at the unicorn. "Good morning precious girl, you did good sleeping through the night. We still have to come up with a name for your unicorn little lady." Arizona coos and Indies eyes go wide and a half gummy looking smile comes to her face. "Come on lets go back to mommy but first I have to make a phone call."
Arizona grabs her phone from her back and hit speed dial 5. "What's up boss?" Karev answers.
"I need you to take my surgery this morning; something came up and I can't make it in today."
"No problems, anything else?" he asks.
"No thanks that's it. I really appreciate it, thanks Karev." Arizona smiles at the sincerity in his voice.
"Hope everything is ok, I'll keep you posted on the surgery bye boss." Karev hangs up before she answers. Ending the call Arizona heads back to Callie's room and finds her in the exact same position she left her.
"Your mom can sleep through anything I swear." Arizona whispers as she slowly lies down with indie on her stomach.
"Not anything." Callie mumbles making Arizona jump slightly but giggle. Callie turns over, opening one eye. "I know when you slip out of bed and when you bring this little one back with you." Callie runs her hand down Indies back as she lets out a cry.
"I think Someone is hungry because she slept all the way through the night."
"Wow. That's never happened. Come on bug, milk bars open." Callie jokes and quickly sets Indie up before a meltdown happens. "What time are you going into work?" Callie asks.
"I don't have to go into today, you're stuck with me." Arizona smiles and kisses Callie's cheek.
"You don't have to stay home because of me, I don't want you to get in trouble." Callie says but can't keep the smile off her face.
"I was due for a day off anyways and I didn't want to leave you alone today." Arizona shrugs like its no big deal.
Callie leans over and kisses her. "Thank you."
"You never have to thank me." Arizona winks. "I'm going down to make some coffee."
"There fed, changed and ready for whatever the day holds." Callie announces walking into the kitchen with a happy indie on her hip. "What are we going to do today?"
"I was thinking we could go to the shops, have some lunch. I need to get some Christmas shopping in before I run out of time and leave it till the last minute and end up getting crap." Arizona says pouring coffee into large mugs as the doorbell rings. "I'll get it." Arizona says as she sees Callie tense up at the sound. Arizona enters the kitchen with a massive bouquet of flowers. "These came for you."
"Callie pulls the card from the flowers and quickly reads it before throwing it in the trash. "They're from my dad, she says before picking up the bouquet up and dropping them in the bin. "He wanted to say sorry and asked for my forgiveness. Like it's that simple." Callie scoffs and shakes her head while getting breakfast together. "Christmas shopping sounds good to me, I haven't started yet and it's not that long away." Callie says before Arizona can comment on the flowers.
"Awesome." Arizona senses Callie doesn't want to talk about it just yet and happily just goes along with what Callie wants to do.
"I'm not sure if I should get Tim the new need for speed or call of duty black ops." Arizona muses, looking at all the games.
"You should get black ops, its so much better and the graphics are insane. Or Halo 4 is pretty good as well." Callie says enthusiastically while looking at the other games. When she's met with silence she lifts her eyes towards Arizona to find her staring. "What? I like XBOX." Callie shrugs, her cheeks going a little red.
Arizona smirks while she coverers Indies ears, who is currently strapped to Arizona's chest. "I have never been as turned on as I am now at that admission."
"R-really." Callie gulps as Arizona walks up and stands on her tippy toes and whispers.
"I can't wait to play with your XBOX." Arizona sucks Callie's earlobe into her mouth before stepping back to watch as Callie turns into a pile of goo.
"Can I help you ladies at all?" A young teenage boy asks.
"No thanks, I've decided what I'm getting." Arizona smiles like nothing just happened as Callie tries to get her libido under control. The young boy just smiles and carries on annoying the next customer. "You ready to get some lunch sweetie?" Arizona asks innocently.
Callie nods as Arizona turns to head to the checkout and mumbles. "You have no idea." Under her breath and doesn't see the smile on Arizona's face after hearing that.
They find a little restaurant tucked away down the street and slide into one of the booths available so Callie can feed a very upset Indie. They quickly order some drinks and food and they are left to themselves.
"I was thinking just me and you could have dinner this Friday night, we can see if Teddy or Tim can mind Indie for the night?" Callie asks nervously as Arizona's eyes shoot up to meets hers.
"Sounds like a pretty good idea to me, where did you want to go?" Arizona asks as her heart rate picks up at the thought of what Callie means no indie for a whole night.
"I have an idea but I'm going to surprise you so I'm not telling you." Callie smiles at the pout on Arizona's face.
"How will I know what to wear?" Arizona tries.
"Something smart casual will do."
Arizona huffs. "Ok, fine, I guess I have to wait."
"Good." Callie says as she gets a tiny burp from Indie. "She's out, do you mind if I slip her back in the carrier?" Arizona shakes her head and stands as Callie slips her in and slips the sling back up Arizona's arm.
"This Carrier is amazing, usually there all uncomfortable but this is like a pillow."
"I find it easier to carry her like that then have to take a pram to the shops and she doesn't cry as much this way." Callie says as the waitress drops the food and drinks off. As they eat there lunch Arizona can see something pulling over in Callie's mind but waits till she brings it up. "My dad sais he is here for a week on business in that note." Arizona nods while biting a chip. "Should I see what he has to say?" Callie asks looking up at Arizona. Arizona studies Callie's face and watches as different emotions flash across her face, Callie mostly looks frightened.
"You should do what feels right to you but know that I'll support you either way you want to go about it." Callie take sin Arizona's words trying to figure out what she wants to do.
"If I meet him for lunch tomorrow will you be able to make it?" Callie asks.
"Of course, what ever you want to do I'll be there."
"Okay. You ready to continue shopping?" Callie asks standing up and pulling Arizona out of her seat.
"You bet, I have to find momma a gift. I still have no idea what to get her, she's too difficult." Arizona groans trying to think of a gift.
"Well while you think of that I need to buy Christmas decorations because I've got nothing."
"Hey Callie, nice digs." Alex Karev says smiling as Callie opens her front door. "Robbins wanted me to drop these off for her tonight." Alex pulls a heavy bag off his shoulder handing it to Callie.
"Oh ok thanks. Did you want to come in and talk to her? She should be out of the shower soon." Callie sees him hesitate a little. "I have beer."
"Sounds good." He smiles and steps in out of the cold. "Your house is awesome by the way." Alex tells her as they walk through to the kitchen.
"I love it, I must have looked at about 20 and this is the only one that stuck out to me." Callie says handing Alex an open beer.
"I just bought Meredith grey's house, needs a little work but I love it. No I just have to buy furniture and kitchen stuff." He tells her walking over to Indie in her high chair and pulling a face making her giggle a little.
"holy crap its cold. Oh hey Karev." Arizona greets as she enters the kitchen in sweats and Hopkins jumper. "How did the surgery go?" She asks kissing Callie's cheek and grabbing a beer from the fridge.
"Perfect. She came through with flying colours and is going to make a full recovery by two weeks." Alex tells his mentor proudly.
"Awesome. Anything big come in today?"
"Not really it was just constant all day, I brought all the paper work and charts for you so you don't get swamped tomorrow."
"Thanks, I'll need about two hrs off around 12, would you be able to cover me again?" Arizona asks as she picks up a crying Indie from her high chair and calms her down.
"Yeah should be no problem."
"Dinners ready. Alex, are you staying for some?" Callie asks as she takes indie from Arizona to feed. "There's plenty of food."
"And you can talk me through some of these cases that came in today." Arizona says quickly looking through the files he brought for her.
"Sure why not? I haven't had a home cooked meal since momma came to visit."
"Well calliope cooks as well as momma." Arizona says grabbing plates for everyone as Callie sits down to feed indie at the table.
"Damn Torres, this is good!" Alex groans shovelling food into his mouth.
The three of them continue the easy going night with jokes and laughs as Alex and Arizona finish up all the charts and paper work. While popping a pie in the oven for dessert Callie sends off a quick text to her dad to meet her at Joes for lunch tomorrow.
"I can't believe you nearly beat the crap out of him." Callie laughs.
"What? He was going to leave me for Ped's at Hopkins." Arizona shrugs pulling the ice cream out of the freezer.
"She made me see the sense in sticking around, I still get to learn from someone from Hopkins but I get her all to myself."
"Stop trying to suck up, you have been working with me for years and I still haven't gotten rid of you." Arizona giggles while grabbing bowls and the ice cream and heading to the lounge room.
"I'm still glad Sloan and Tim were there to hold you back from pouncing on me." Alex grabs a bowl of ice cream and pie.
"It took two grown men to hold you back." Callie asks shocked and amused.
"I was pissed." Arizona answers like it's the simplest thing in the world.
"I know I'm sorry I'm late. A kid decided to crash when I was walking out the doors. Hey sweetie." Arizona coos at Indie and then kissing Callie on plump lips. Arizona pulls her jacket off to reveal navy blue scrubs.
"Aren't you freezing in scrubs?" Callie asks.
"Well I ran here because I was late so not anymore." Arizona says making Callie laugh. "Where's your dad?" Arizona asks noticing the man to be nowhere.
"He's running late stuck in traffic."
"Well all the more time I get to spend with you two ladies. You have a good morning?" Arizona coos picking up indie and giving her an Eskimo kiss and getting drool all over her chin.
Carlos enters the bar making his eyes travel over the booths looking for his daughter. His eye stop as he sees Arizona giving his granddaughter an Eskimo kiss and chucking her head back in laughter as indie attaches herself to the blondes chin. Calliope chuckles and watches the two interact with the look of pure happiness on her face. A twinge of regret courses through his body before he walks over to the table. "Calliope, Miss Robbins." He says icily.
"Dad." "Mr Torres." The women reply.
"Are you going to sit dad?" Callie asks wearily. Carlos sits down and studies the women in front of his, it doesn't go unnoticed how Arizona tucks indie in her arms protectively and puts herself slightly in front of callie ready to pounce if need be.
"I've had all night to think and I've come to the conclusion that I can't tell you what to do anymore. You're a grown woman and a mother, I was a terrible father for forcing you to marry Antonio. I saw it in your eyes that you were unhappy, your mother even told me so." At that Callie's eyes connect with her fathers in shock. Her mother never said a word to her, to callie she always seemed cold and distant because of the whole dating a woman in college thing. "I shut down your mothers allegations and I shouldn't have, for that I'm sorry. I don't expect you to forgive me right away but I do ask for you forgiveness. I'm not saying I understand you choices but I can see you're happy and Miss Robbins here is clearly protective. So I apologize for my behaviour and I'm sorry about what I said last night." Carlos finishes his little speech and watches the emotions flash across his daughters face as Arizona just stares coldly at him.
"Over night your whole line of thinking changes after all these years?" Callie spits.
"I didn't know Antonio was that bad but it breaks my heart to know that's what you went through. All a father wants is for there children to be happy and safe and I've failed to give you that, I'm ashamed of myself." Carlos quickly wipes a tear away before it falls and stands up. "I have a flight in a couple of hours so I should get going. I just… I'm so sorry calliope. Take car of my girls Miss Robbins." He says solemnly before turning to walk away but stopping again. "Before I go, I was wondering what happened to your trust fund?"
Callie lets out a laugh. "I cleared that out years ago and put it in a private account so Antonio didn't get a penny of it." Callie tells him.
"Okay." Is all Carlos says before turning and heading out to catch his flight home.
Arizona sits patiently as Callie pulls herself together and tries to get her mind under control. "You alright Calliope?" Arizona asks squeezing Callie's thigh.
"i-I think so." Callie croaks out wiping a tear from her eye. "I've never heard him say anything like that ever."
"How bout I take you two home and we can eat there and put this little one down?"
"Ok, I ordered our lunch I'll just tell Joe its take away while you put her in the car." Callie kisses Arizona's cheek and slips out of the booth.
"Your mommy's going to be ok baby girl, she's got you and me to support her, isn't that right bug?" Arizona chatters away to indie while walking out to Callie's range rover.
A sleek black Mercedes rolled up beside Arizona and the back window rolled down. "Excuse me Miss Robbins?"
Arizona spun around to find Carlos Torres in the window of the car. "Yes?" Arizona says coldly.
"I don't know you but I was wondering if I could make a request of you?"
"I highly doubt you're in any positions to ask anything of me!" She spits back.
"I understand but I only ask that you protect and take care of my girls because I clearly can't? Please?" the broken man asks.
Arizona sees Callie coming towards her in the corner of her eye and quickly answers. "Sir I've been doing that since the day I met them and I will continue to do it till the day I die, even then I will try and fight. No leave." Arizona finishes and turns around opening the car up and buckling Indie in.
"Who was that?" Callie asks coming up behind Arizona making her jump.
"Oh just some pompous ass wanted directions." Arizona laughs, forcing a smile on her face.
"Hey Z, why do you have Callie's car?" Tim asks walking in to the attending lounge and finding Arizona sprawled out at the table studying for her surgery tomorrow.
"We had a very intense meeting with her dad so I took her home and left her and Indie asleep in bed. Would you or teddy be able to take my car home?" Arizona asks while her nose is still stuffed in a book.
"Yeah no probs, is callie alright?" Tim asks concern evident in his voice.
"She will be." Arizona sighs and closes her books, giving up on thinking anything will stick in her brain at this point. She gets up and starts to make two coffees. "I was wondering if you would be able to look after Indie this Friday night? We have a hot date." Arizona asks batting her eye lids at her brother and handing him a coffee.
"Are you kidding me? You really don't have to ask, of coarse id take her." Tim laughs. "And I don't know why you would think the little pout and eye lids would get you anywhere with me, we came up with that look together to get out of trouble."
"Right! Oh and Indie will be spending the night with you and teddy." Arizona says trying to say it casually.
"Oh really? Finally taking the 'plunge' ay?" Arizona shoves Tim's shoulder.
"Your so gross, id expect that from Sloan but yes we are." Arizona says smugly walking to the door. "Don't you dare tell Sloan either!" she says walking out the door.
"Heard you got a hot date Friday night?" Teddy asks walking in and flopping down on Arizona's bed as Arizona hums in agreement and packs an over night bag. "Wow I can tell you're really excited about it." Teddy jokes.
"What?" Arizona asks looking up frazzled.
"You alright? You look freaked out and you got a crazy look in your eyes."
"I-I'm freaking out a little bit about our date." Arizona runs her hands through her hair. "not so much the date but the after the date part, I know it sounds ridiculous but she was treated like crap in her marriage. i-I want to treat her right." Arizona sits on the bad and buries her face in her hands.
"You are treating her right, I've never seen you treat a woman the way you treat her."
"I'm frigan horny as well!" Arizona exclaims. "It's been like 2 months and there are only so many showers you can take. Every time she touches me my body lights on fire and my legs turn to moosh. All I can think about is her and indie all day and every day. So many times we've been so close to completely ripping each other's clothes off but something interrupts."
"Well this Friday you will both be ready and you know it's going to happen. You two are connected in some way, it's sickening to watch actually but anyone can see you two are meant to be together." Teddy says smiling.
"I love her! I love them, both of them and it's eating me alive not being able to say it to her."
"Why can't you say it to her?" Teddy asks in confusion.
"Even though I feel it, I think it's too early in our relationship to be saying that. What if I freak her out or what if she doesn't say it back?" Arizona spits out starting to pace back and forth.
"She feels the same way sis." Tim interjects making her stop pacing and look at him. "I can see it in the way she looks at you and talks about you. You don't have to worry, Trust me."
"But how do you know?" Arizona's shoulders slump.
"Because it's the same way I look at teddy." Tim smiles identically to the one spreading across Arizona's face. "So stop freaking out and go be with your girls and we will see you at work tomorrow."
Arizona takes a deep calming breath, taking in Tim's words. "Okay. Thanks for talking me down again. I'll see you two tomorrow."
