Callie, Arizona and Austin arrived in Los Angeles for two weeks. They had an appointment with Addison and Naomi in a couple of hours so they first dropped of Austin at his grandparent's house before driving to Oceanside Wellness Clinic.
Addison was excited to see Callie and Arizona and greeted them with a warm hug. Naomi soon entered the office and they began the appointment. "So have you two decided who is going carry the baby" Addison asked. "I will" Callie said with a smile. Addison and Naomi then took Callie aside for a check up and to run some preliminary blood tests.
"So you basically have two options, either artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization. Based on Callie's check up everything seems to be fine so artificial insemination should work well. Once the blood test results are back we will know for sure but everything looks good" Naomi briefed them.
Naomi then brought some files to them "These are some of the sperm donors we have available. Take a look and decide whom you would like to pick". With that Addison and Naomi left the room so that Callie and Arizona could talk in private.
"Dimples we need to choose someone who looks as much like you as we can" Callie said and with that she started to open the files but Arizona stopped her "Calliope, I want our baby to look just like you. I don't care if the baby looks like me or not. I don't want to know who the father is". "Are you sure" Callie asked. Arizona nodded. "Ok then, we'll go with an anonymous donor" Callie said and gave Arizona a kiss.
Arizona was very excited today. Callie's blood test results had come out fine and tonight they were going try the artificial insemination. They had rented a condo for 2 weeks in LA and she was planning dinner for her and Callie. She didn't want Callie to find out so Addison had taken Callie out for the day. She wanted to make the night as romantic as possible for Callie so that they would feel the baby was being made out of love and not a clinical procedure. Austin was spending the night at his grandparents so that Callie and Arizona would have some privacy.
After picking up the sperm from the sperm bank Arizona drove to the grocery store for some ingredients. She decided to cook Callie one of her favorite meals: chicken with linguini and tomato sauce. After the grocery story, she passed by the florist and asked them if she could have petals of roses.
By the time she got to the condo it was already 5 o'clock so Arizona had to hurry up. She put on some water for the linguini while she set the table. She placed two candles in the middle and uncorked a bottle of red wine so it could breathe first. She created a path of petals towards the kitchen and dining table and also to the bedroom. She lit candles in the bedroom and scattered some petals on the bed as well after turning down the covers just a little bit. The glowing light of the candles brought a romantic atmosphere in the room. She quickly ran into the kitchen and roasted the chicken after inserting the linguini in the water.. Arizona then made the famous tomato sauce, with some special herbs and spices to give it that little extra touch which Callie had taught her. With everything cooked and ready, she lit the candles on the dining table and put on some soft jazz music, which Callie loved.. The soft, soothing and romantic music filled the room as Arizona turned off the lights. The glow of the candles made everything look so beautiful and romantic. Arizona looked at her watch. 5:55. 'Just on time' Arizona thought to herself. She took the two glasses of wine to the living room and poured herself and Callie a glass.
Five minutes later Callie opened the front door and couldn't believe her eyes. She dropped her keys out of shock and just stood there with her mouth open. The whole room looked so romantic. She saw Arizona walking over to her with two glasses of wine in her hands and a broad smile upon her face.
Arizona leaned forward and gently kissed Callie on the lips "Hey Babe. How was your day with Addison?"
Callie still hadn't recovered from the amazement and was in total awe of Arizona. She could finally speak again and answered Arizona's question. "My day was good, thanks. We had fun catching up. Where is Austin?"
Arizona gave Callie a soft kiss and sipped her wine "Austin is at my parents for the night" she said with a wink ."So shall we go to the living room and enjoy our wine or do you want to have dinner right now?" Arizona asked Callie with a smile
Callie smiled back "Let's go to sit down for a while first. God Dimples, everything looks so romantic."
Arizona took Callie's hand in hers and led her to the couch, where they both sat down. Callie took her shoes and socks off. Arizona placed her wineglass on the table and took Callie's feet and started rubbing them.
"Mmm, that feels good Ari. Dinner smells really good too." Callie said happily. "You know you didn't have to do all this Ari."
"I know. Just think of it as my way of saying thank you. Thank you for wanting to have a family with me and for carrying our child." Arizona emotionally replied.
"You don't have to thank me for that. There's nothing I'd rather do." Callie said kissing Arizona's cheek
"And there's nothing I'd rather do than make you happy and be with you every single step of the way. I promise you this Calliope. Every doctor's appointment, every time you feel sick or miserable, I will be there with you to help and comfort you, no matter what." Arizona promised.
Callie smiled "Thanks, Dimples. That means a lot to me."
Callie placed her glass on the coffee table next to Arizona's. She pulled Arizona closer to her by the neck and started kissing her. Her tongue pushed against Arizona's lower lip, demanding entry, which Arizona willingly gave. A low moan escaped her lips as their tongues met. They pulled back in desperate need of oxygen and placed their foreheads against one another. When they could both breathe again, Arizona made Callie a proposition "Calliope, what do you say if we eat now before we go any further and can't restrain ourselves any longer?" "Good idea. Otherwise there won't be much eating." Callie replied with a smirk
They took their glasses with them to the dining table. Arizona pulled out a chair for Callie and served her a plate. "Mmm, Dimples, this looks so good. I think the tomato sauce turned out really well." ,Arizona grinned at Callie and served herself a plate as well. She sat back down next to Callie and they ate dinner enjoying each others company..
After dinner hey both got up and walked towards the bedroom hand in hand. Arizona opened the door and sat Callie down on the bed. "You just stay here, I'll go get everything we need."
Callie looked around the room, Arizona had certainly done her best to make everything look romantic. Arizona returned to the room and placed everything on the bedside table. She sat down next to Callie and took her hands between hers. She placed soft kisses on each palm and placed them on her heart "You hear that Calliope? That's my heart, it's beating for you."
Callie smiled "Soon we'll have a third heartbeat to listen to"
"Yeah, a little boy or girl that will have two mothers who love him or her very much." "Are you scared Calliope?" Arizona asked.
"No, not yet I guess. I know you're going to be a great mother Arizona. Just look at your job. You deal with kids every day. You have the biggest heart I have ever seen and you are so open and loving to everyone. I hope our child has your heart, Dimples."
"You are a great parent too, Calliope. I've seen how you are with Austin. We don't have to worry about that. We will love this baby with both our hearts. I love you so much Calliope and as long as we have each other, we can handle anything that comes our way."
"I love you too Dimples, more than you can imagine."Callie replied.
Arizona gently pushed Callie down on the bed and started kissing every inch of Callie's body. She kissed her way from Callie's forehead to her nose, both her cheeks, her lips, her chin. She kissed her way up her neck to her earlobe and that special place behind Callie's ear. She did the same thing on the other side and then proceeded to kiss both of Callie's shoulders, her collarbone and her chest. She placed kisses all over Callie's chest, carefully avoiding her breasts and making her way down to Callie's stomach. She kissed Callie on her ribs, her belly button and continued towards her arms. She started by kissing each fingertip, each palm and the backs of Callie's hands. She then kissed her way up one of Callie's arms and down the other. She skipped Callie's center and moved on to Callie's legs. She kissed her way down Callie's right leg and stopped at her foot. She kissed the front and back and each toe. She did the same thing to Callie's left foot and leg.
Callie had been quiet up to this point, but she simply couldn't take the teasing anymore."Ari, please..."
Hearing Callie's voice shudder made Arizona realize she had teased her long enough "Calliope, open your eyes please." Arizona whispered.
Callie slowly opened her eyes and looked into Arizona's. Arizona saw Callie's love and want in her eyes and that was all she needed. She softly whispered "I love you" before heading back down. She let her fingertips slide over Callie's body, making Callie arch her back. She gently entered Callie with two fingers while she sucked on her clit. Arizona wanted to be as loving and gentle as possible. As she continued to make love to her wife, she could here soft moans of pleasure escaping Callie's lips
"Let's do it" Callie whispered once she came down from her high. Arizona nodded and took some of the sperm and went through the procedure just as Naomi had described to her. While Callie was lying with her legs up on some pillows, Arizona laid her head on Callie's chest and listened to her heartbeat. Callie played with Arizona's curls as they both wished that they would soon be the proud mothers of a baby created entirely out of love.
Two days later it was time to take a pregnancy test. Before they entered the bathroom so that Callie could take the test, Arizona leaned down to place a kiss on Callie's stomach "In case you're already there little one, you have two mommies who love you very much and can't wait to meet you in nine months."
Callie laughed "Dimples, you are adorable. You don't even know if we're pregnant yet."
"I just have this feeling, Calliope. Plus, with all the love we put in creating this baby, there must be something really wrong in the world if you're not pregnant." Arizona replied.
"Well we'll find out in two minutes" Callie said nervously
Arizona was pacing "It seems more like two hours to me"
When the time was finally there, they both looked at the test and saw that it was... "Positive! We're going to have a baby!" Arizona screamed. Callie hugged Arizona and they jumped up and down in excitement.
Arizona was ecstatic "I can't believe it! We're pregnant! I love you so much Calliope."
They both calmed down a little and shared a passionate kiss.
