The next morning, Arizona awoke to the soft sounds of her son beginning to cry. She quickly donned her prosthetic and made her way to the basinet next to Callie's bed.

"Good morning, Ace." Arizona smiled down at her son, "I love you so much, little guy. Let's get your diaper changed and see if Momma is up to trying to breast feed."

Arizona went about changing Ace's diaper, smiling at the small boy as he started to fall asleep again. Once in a fresh diaper, Arizona picked up her son and reveled at his beauty. He had Callie's dark hair, and slightly tanned skin, at the moment, though, he had the brightest blue eyes either woman had ever seen.

"Ok, let's see if Momma will wake up for us," Arizona slowly made her way to Callie's bed. "Wake up, Calliope; our little guy is kind of hungry."

"Mm, what?" Callie opened an eye to her girlfriend, "I didn't hear him."

"It's ok, I have no problem getting up with him. It's our time before you feed him. I can't help breast feed so diaper changes and burping will be our thing."

Arizona handed the infant to her girlfriend and watched as the Latina lifted her shirt to expose her breast for the small boy to latch on. Arizona was in awe of the entire thing. The fact that Callie carried this child for 9 months and now sustained his life with her breast milk, it all became a bit too much as Arizona felt a tear fall from her eye. The blonde pulled out her phone and snapped a quick, discreet photo; she would treasure this photo for years to come even if both Callie and Ace found it embarrassing.

"You're crying," Callie spoke softly rubbing a single finger over Ace's cheek as he suckled.

"Happy tears, I promise," Arizona sat on the edge of Callie bed and continued to marvel at the sight. "Do you want to try getting in touch with your parents and Aria?"

Callie was silent a moment, contemplating Arizona's question, "I think so. I don't think I could look him in the eye in a couple of years and tell him I didn't even try to get his tia or grandparents in his life."

"Do you want to call them? Or you could just text them. A text might be less disappointing, they can't just hang up on you."

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Could you hand me my phone?"

Once she had her phone in her hand, Callie began to type out a message to her mother and father, she decided she would call Aria.

Mami, Papi, I know you said you wanted nothing more to do with me but I wanted to let you know, your grandson was born last night, February 13, at 9:13 pm. He weighed in at 7 lbs 2 oz and 20 inches long. He has many of the Torres features but his eyes are as bright blue as the Miami sky on a clear day even though you can't see them in the picture that I attached. Anyway, I just want you to know that, whether you choose to be in our lives or not, Ace Daniel and I both love you.

With the text, Callie attached the first photo they had taken of Ace when Arizona watched him get weighed. She really hoped that she would get an answer but wasn't going to hold her breath. Callie knew how her parents felt about her having a child, and how they would probably feel when they found out Arizona was his biological parent and transgender, that is, if Aria hadn't told them yet and used it to get back in their good graces.

Callie was so engrossed in the text message, that she hadn't realized Ace had finished nursing until Arizona reached for the boy.

"You wanna try the other side or you think he's good?"

Callie adjusted her shirt, "Let's try the other side, that was only about 10 minutes, we'll see if he'll nurse anymore, he may be full."

Arizona helped settle the small boy into Callie's arms and watched once again as the boy latched onto her nipple.

"Well, much like his mommy, he seems to have an affinity for my boobs." Callie laughed.

Arizona's face flushed, "Don't say that, Calliope! It's so wrong."

Arizona shook her head as she made her way to her bag, bending to rifle through it, Callie became curious, "Whatcha doin' over there?"

The blonde didn't answer, she just continued going through her bag looking for the gift she'd bought Callie for Valentine's Day. Upon finding it, Arizona let out a quite 'a-ha!' that caused Callie to giggle.

"So, this was meant to be a birthing gift because I read somewhere that you should get your child's mother a gift for giving birth." Arizona spoke as she handed Callie a small box.

"Arizona, you didn't need to get me anything! Giving birth to our son is the gift. Getting to hold him and nurse him and just… have him is the gift."

Arizona waved the Latina off, "Yeah, well, whatever."

Callie opened the box with a gasp, inside sat a simple necklace with a small purple gem imbedded in a footprint shaped pendant.

"Amethyst, Ace's birthstone," Arizona spoke softly, "He's definitely gunna complain about it when he gets older cause it's purple but… oh well. But, I'm gunna need it back for a short time, I want to get his initials and birth date engraved on it."

"I love it, Arizona, thank you."

Arizona held up a finger, "Mmm, there's more…"

Another box was placed on the table in front of Callie, this one smaller in size, and both women held their breath as Callie reached for it.

Opening the box, tears instantly sprang to the Latina's eyes, "Arizona…"

"Happy Valentine's Day, Calliope," Arizona smiled before leaning forward and kissing the brunette.

Callie pulled the ring from the box to get a closer look. It was sterling silver with an infinity knot that had Callie, Arizona, and Ace's birthstones on it, "I didn't get you anything yet. I definitely wasn't expecting to be in the hospital today…"

Arizona smiled at the brunette, "My son is gift enough, Calliope. You've made one of my biggest dreams come true, you made me a mother to a gorgeous boy. There is no greater gift than that. And then you went and gave him my father's name for his middle name. You've given me so much already. I couldn't ask for another thing."

The two women sat for long moments, just enjoying being in each other's presence with their son. When the newborn was done nursing, Arizona lifted him from Callie's arms and placed the boy on her shoulder to burp him. At the sight of her girlfriend lovingly whispering to their son as she attempted to get him to burp, Callie snapped a photo. She too, knew this would be something to treasure for life and the photo was immediately made her wallpaper and lock screen on her phone.

No sooner did Callie place her phone back on the table, it began to ring causing both women to turn their heads toward the devise.

"Your mother," Arizona whispered as she saw the photo and name on the screen.

Callie made no move to touch the phone so Arizona nudged it slightly with her finger, "Answer it, Calliope, there's obviously a reason she's calling."

"Hola, Mami," Callie answered after a deep breath.

Arizona couldn't hear the other side of the conversation but she stared intently at Callie.

"Si, hold on…" Callie pulled the phone away from her ear, tears in her eyes and switched the call to FaceTime. "Mami, I'd like you to meet your grandson, Ace Daniel Robbins."

Arizona slowly turned the boy in her arms so that he was facing the camera on Callie's iPhone.

"Callita, he's perfect. My goodness, he looks just like you!" Arizona watched as tears fell from Callie's mother's eyes, "Mija, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you. Please, forgive me; I want to be in my grandson's life. He's so precious and he doesn't deserve the way I treated you when you told us of your pregnancy. Is his father there, I would really like to apologize to him as well, for judging before I had the opportunity to know him. Aria said you went to Seattle hoping to find him."

"Mami, that is another thing we need to talk about." Callie took a deep breath as Arizona nodded her head encouraging the brunette. "The woman holding Ace, that's Arizona Robbins."

"Oh, is that his aunt? Hello, dear, my name is Lucia Torres, Calliope's mother." The older Latina introduced herself.

"No, Mami, Arizona is Ace's other parent, biologically…"

The brunette's sentence hung in the air, everyone silent as the older Torres woman tried to absorb the information she was just given.

"No entiendo, Calliope. Ella es claramente una mujer; como puede ser esto?" I don't understand, Calliope. She is clearly a woman. How can this be?

"Mami, English please, Arizona doesn't deserve to be talked about in a language she doesn't understand. That's rude and not fair."

"Lo siento, I'm sorry, Arizona," Lucia genuinely looked sorry which shocked Callie a bit. "Could you please explain what you mean? How is she biologically my grandson's parent?"

"Arizona is transgender, Mami. She was born male but she isn't male, she is a woman. She has had surgery to give her breasts like any other woman but she still has … well the parts to make a baby, biologically."

"So, you, Arizona are my grandson's father?"

"I prefer to just be called his mother. Father would imply that I am still a male, and though I have some of the parts that men generally have, I am not a man, Mrs. Torres."

Lucia was quiet a moment as she contemplated what she had been told before speaking again, "Do you love my daughter? And my grandson?"

"I do, ma'am. I don't think I've loved anyone the way I love these two. Early, I watched Calliope nurse Ace and my heart just… it soared. I love them so much, I feel like my heart might burst."

There was another silence, Callie just watching the interaction between Arizona and her mother while the blonde gently rocked their son. Callie swore her heart was going to break out of her chest it was beating so hard. She so badly wanted her mother to accept Arizona and their son.

"Ok."

Arizona and Callie's heads both whipped up to the phone. Had they really just heard Lucia said that?

"Ok? Ok, what?" Callie asked.

"If she loves you and my grandson, then ok. It may take me a little while to get used to it but I don't want to miss anymore of my child's life and I don't want to miss any of my grandchild's life." Lucia smiled as her grandson began to squirm in Arizona's arms, "May I come visit?"

"Y-you wanna come visit? You want to meet Arizona and Ace?" To say Callie was confused and shocked was an understatement.

Lucia nodded, "If that would be ok, yes."

Arizona looked to Callie who was speechless so she spoke for the brunette, "I think that would be wonderful. I would love to meet you in person and, believe it or not, Ace is even cuter in person. Will Mr. Torres be joining?"

"I don't think he will be." Lucia sighed, "Mija, your father has asked me for a divorce."

"WHAT?!" Callie's outburst caused Ace to start crying, "Oh, Mijo, I'm so sorry, Momma didn't mean to scare you."

After transferring the newborn to her girlfriend's arms, Arizona spoke up, "I think you and your mom should talk. I'm going to take a walk and grab a coffee, do you need anything?"

Callie shook her head, "No, I'm ok, I'm sure they'll bring my breakfast soon."

Arizona placed a kiss on her girlfriend's lips and one on her now quiet son's forehead before heading out of the room. Callie and Lucia were both quiet for long moments before the older Torres woman broke the silence.

"I've been arguing with your father since you left our house. I agreed with him, initially, but Calliope, you had to believe I didn't want to kick you out. It was hard for me to accept your bisexuality and then for you to tell me that you were pregnant out of wedlock, it shocked me. I should have taken the time to listen to you, to talk to you. I will never be able to apologize enough, Calliope, but I have seen the error of my ways and I need both my daughters and my grandson in my life." Lucia looked down, fiddling with her fingers, "I was thinking of moving to Seattle, I know Aria has gone up there, I checked the charges on her credit card. Your father took most of her money but not all of it, she had some in another account, I assume."

Looking down at her son, Callie began to cry, "Aria is supposedly still here in Seattle but I don't know where. She doesn't like the fact that I'm in a relationship with Arizona, a trans woman. She called Arizona a freak, Mami. She humiliated my girlfriend, my son's mother, in our own home. I kicked her out of my house and haven't seen her since. Addison apparently had dinner with her last night and Aria says she's sorry, that she overreacted, I guess, and that she wants to talk to me and be in our lives."

"Calliope, would you allow me to come to you? I can talk to Aria; I will make her see she's wrong. I tried with your father but he's hard headed, Mija, he is set in his ways and refuses to change them but I will not let him be the reason I am not in your lives."

"I would love that, Mami. How soon can you be here?"

Lucia smiled while wiping away tears, "I can be there this evening. I will purchase my ticket as soon as I get off the phone with you."

"Call me with the details; I will have Arizona pick you up."

"No, you will do no such thing! Arizona needs to be there with you, I will take a taxi. I will see you soon, Mija. I love you, Calliope." Lucia looked down to the boy in her daughter's arms, "And I love you, Ace, Abuela will see you soon."

"I love you, Mami; I can't wait to see you."

I've been on like... a creative kick the last few days guys. Anyway, the underlined and italicized portion is the translation of Lucia's sentence in Spanish. I apologize if the translation is wrong, despite my being Puerto Rican, I never learned Spanish because my father sucks, so, if it's wrong, blame Google Translate. Also, most stories that have Callie's parent(s) come around, it's usually Carlos so I felt like switching it up. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this. There probably won't be an update for another few days, tomorrow is my only day off and I actually have plans for once. Feel free to review or message me with ideas.

Good night
