A/N: New chapter Yay. I think I will post a new one every week on Monday because it's kind of the halfway point between Thursdays. Also how cute was Arizona in this last episode
Chapter 11
Blurred silence. Thats all she could register in her zombie like state. The small redhead slowly began to look around her, slowly trying to accept what had just happened. She felt as though her body was an anchor to the ground, refusing to let her move. Her head was pressed flat to the ground facing left, her green eyes opened comically wide, though not filled with horror nor pain. Her expressions rather showed that of amazement. Looking past the black snow slowly dancing its way to the ground and the flashing blue and red, April saw the only person she wanted to see, looking as frantic as any distraught man would be. It was if everything was in slow motion, she saw his well built frame rushing through the security lines, she saw his head switch from right to left several times before he started sprinting again, occasionally opening his mouth but she couldn't make out what he was saying. She couldn't hear anything but the rushing blood in her body. She watched as the man she loved ran in the other direction and she could feel the tears rolling down her cheeks. There she lay, helpless on the ground, something she swore she never would be.
April felt a large gust of wind hovering above her accompanied with a bright white light shining on her making it hard for her to see anything but the bright white light. She felt hands stroking the the hair glued with blood to scalp and strong arms wrap around her. She felt her body being carried because of the rhythmic gate of her husband, and she started to notice the sulphur like taste in her mouth, making her want to gag. She found herself moving her arm to her belly as if to confirm its existence. She knew something was wrong, she could feel it but that didn't mean she didn't hold out hope that she was wrong. Before she knew it, she felt those strong arms release her body onto a hard and cold plastic frame and she was being rolled away, with a mask over her face.

Callie faintly heard a cellphone ringing in her room and was just about to move before she heard it end. She thanked everything that could be thanked in that moment and turned around to bury herself into Arizona and the covers. Arizona instinctively holding her closer and the blonde now stretching her legs out and her cold feet meeting Callie's. Callie was just on the edge of consciousness about to fall back into a sleep when she heard
'Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanntts ingonyama bagithi baba' tear out through the room and despite the initial shock, Callie found herself laughing and in turn stirring the blonde
"Babe you're phone is ringing" Callie managed to get out through fits of laughter and handed the blonde her phone and she slid back into the covers and waited for Arizona to finish up her call. Noticing the sense of urgency in Arizona's voice Callie sat up once again and took the blonde's hand in her own
Arizona ended her call and sat there in shock, the room was filled with silence. "A bomb went off at our base here. One of my agents was in the building" Arizona said robotically, her eyes had a far away look as if she were remembering something painful.
Callie moved forward and took Arizona into her arms and held on tight. It took a few moments but Arizona finally broke in her arms "She lost her baby Callie. She was so happy and excited to finally be a mom and now that dream is gone, Just like that." The Latina just held onto the blonde, whispering assurances in her ear and rubbing her back.
Arizona finally broke from the embrace and rubbed away at her eyes "I have to go into the office, well what's left of it. All unit leaders are called in, I don't know how long this is going to take and I'm just going to see what I have to do." Arizona began to walk around the room and moved to her suitcase with her clothes, pulling a pair of jeans and a shirt and just changing there.
Callie couldn't take her eyes off of Arizona in her boxers and her back bare until she put on a sports bra. She nearly moaned when she saw Arizona do a little bum dance in order to slip her jeans on. Her mouth watering as she saw Arizona's strong muscles flex as she pulled her shirt over her head and she noticed the blue ink.
"You have a tattoo?" Callie asked as she watched Arizona walk over to her, a smirk plastered on her face
"I have tattoos. Plural." she whispered as she leaned in bracing her body on her two hands and she saw Callie swallow hard from the movements of her neck. Oh the things Arizona wanted to do to Callie. She leaned in for a quick kiss and then whispered "I'll see you later". She was about to move away when Callie moved to place both hands on either side of her face and slowly pulled her in, kissing her deeply and passionately. Arizona felt Callie's tongue glide against her lips and she easily allowed her entrance. Both let out a moan at the taste of each other, their bodies tingling and the familiar tugging feeling in their lower abdomen made itself known. They were both lost in their kiss, they didn't even notice that Arizona was now fully on the bed, her body flush with Callie's. Arizona began to lightly grind into Callie, her hands growing bolder by the second as she slipped them under Callie's shirt. Callie let out a loud moan and Arizona just smirked as she then moved her lips to latch onto Callie's neck, making sure to leave a light mark that she knew would be gone within the hour. She began to leave small kisses all over Callie's neck, the brunette moving her head to make sure the blonde had enough space. It was Arizona's turn to moan as her fingers brushed the underside of Callie's breasts with her fingertips, she felt herself growing harder by the second.
Arizona moved her head up so she could look Callie in the eye, asking permission to touch her, checking to see if the brunette was okay. After gaining a nod, Arizona moved her palms to gently caress Callie's boobs, her fingers running over the now hardening nipples and Callie's face contorted with pleasure as she gasped with all the sensations she was now feeling. Arizona simply watched in awe at the effect her ministrations were having on Callie.
"Arizona, please! I need you now" Callie breathed out, her body far past the point of being turned on and Arizona had barely done anything besides kiss her and do some light touching. Granted she did those things so spectacularly, that here Callie was begging for her and she was definitely not above it at this point.
Before Arizona could respond, she heard her phone ringing once again, bringing her back to the reality of her situation. Both women groaned although this time for an entirely new reason
"Robbins" Arizona answered once she had gotten her phone, her small body slumping into Callie's, taking deep calming breaths of Callie's scent so she could calm herself down "Yes I'll be there shortly, I was briefing Alex and Jo…. No problem, I'll make sure to stop by…. Jackson, how are you holding up…. It's okay." Arizona tried to hold herself together but Callie could see the light sheen in the blonde's eyes when she said "I'm sorry for your loss. I'll see you in a bit" Arizona closed her eyes and allowed herself a few more seconds in Callie's warm and safe arms "I have to go, I'll make sure to stop by in the afternoon and give you guys an update" She whispered before pushing herself up
"Babe, you might want to wear a jacket that covers that" Callie laughed pointing at Arizona's hard on.
"Right!" and she moved to her case and pulled out the large FBI track top before facing Callie again "All good?" She smiled
"One more thing" Callie said before she got out of bed and walked over to Arizona and kissed her "There you're good now. Be safe, don't go all GI Jane"
Arizona smiled "Promise, I'll see you later" she said before walking out the door and making her way to the car.

Arizona raced through the city to the FBI base and after flashing her credentials at several checkpoints she finally makes her way through and parks. Seeing the state of the building that she herself had just walked out of in such ruins slightly chilled her. She could have been in that building, just like April because she hated going home to an empty house. She felt her cellphone buzz in her back pocket and she answered without looking at who exactly was calling
"Robbins"
"Arizona?, Is that you?"
"Hey mom"
"Oh thank god, I thought you were in the building when it went off." She heard her mom release a breath of relief "Arizona Emilia Robbins - Levitt! did you not think to phone your mother when you heard that a bomb went off in your building! I was worried sick. Are any of your friends hurt dear?"
"Mom, I'm so sorry for not calling, everything has just been all over the place after I got the call. I'm okay, we were at Callie's when I got the call. As far as I know only April has gotten hurt, she lost her baby but other than that I have yet to hear anything, I just got here now"
"Oh honey, send my condolences to her and tell her i'll try to pop by and see her if she wants. Oh and good job for staying"
"Thanks mom for everything, I'll pop in later I need to see uncle Tom about something"
"No problem dear, I'll make sure to let him know. I'll let you get to your work"
After her mom's call ended, Arizona moved toward the building that once stood and began to help contribute to finding the perpetrator. It was then that she was assigned to be on the intel part of the team for this case. Arizona had tried to protest saying that she was already assigned to a case but Fields, the man in charge of the whole investigation dismissed her with "Robbins, if we don't sort out this case first, there'll be no more fucking FBI to even help with your basic glorified babysitting job. Understand"
Arizona positively hated the man, he was breathing over her shoulder and there was nothing she could do about it. Since arriving, they had learned that 20 other agents were in the building and only five of them were lucky enough to leave the building with their life in tact. And even then the quality of life they stood, after what Arizona was sure would be multiple surgeries, was poor. Her whole morning was spent scrubbing up video footage from cameras memory and importing it to her hard drive so Jo could go over it. Walking out of the hotel the FBI had now rented to run operations, Arizona slipped into her car and drove off to the hospital.
She first checked in with Thalia's bodyguard and checking her status. The older Torres sibling showed no sign of consciousness and when Arizona talked to Dr. Mead, the neurosurgeon on the case, he had told her that if she didn't wake up within the next 42 hours, it would be bad. Arizona's heart broke for Callie, how would she deal with the death of her sister. The blonde knew that Callie still blamed herself for everything that happened and now with this news and her having to leave to be assigned to another case she felt uneasy. She wanted to be there to support Callie, to comfort her when she was down and the mere thought of Callie in any type of pain had her feeling queasy.
Arizona then made her way to the general ward and stopped by the nurses desk and smiling at the redhead nurse with glasses there. Reading the name tag, Arizona smiled at the woman
"Hi Ellie, I'm looking for a patient that was admitted today, April Kepner" She asked sweetly and the redhead blushed before shyly giving Arizona the room number and pointing in the direction that she should go. The blonde agent slowly roamed the halls until she came to the room she was looking for. It was similar to Callie's sister's room though a little smaller. Arizona lightly knocked on the glass door before gently sliding it open when she saw April glance her way. Jackson had lifted his head up from the side of the bed and immediately stood up.
"Hey guys" Arizona sadly smiled as she looked at the distraught couple. She felt her heart break when she saw the look of complete desolation that April's eyes held, she and Jackson both visibly worn out. "Jackson, please sit down. I just came to check up on you guys"
"Well were fine. Thanks for coming. You can go now and tell everyone that we're okay" April said emotionlessly and almost lifelessly as she kept staring at her blanket, fidgeting with the seams.
"April" Jackson sighed out
"Jackson, could you do me a favor and get me a coffee. I haven't eaten anything all day and I'm starting to feel dizzy" She wasn't lying but she just needed to give them both time away from each other and she needed to have a minute with April.
"Yeah of course. Can I get you anything April?"
"No" April shortly replied. Jackson gave a small smile before walking out the door and making his way to the cafeteria
"It's not his fault, you know" Arizona said after there had been a short silence. Figuring that April wasn't going to talk to her she decided that she would just have to plant the seed of thought and pray that her friend took it. "I'm sorry that you had to go through this. I'm sorry you were in the building when this happened. I'm sorry that you have to experience the worst pain imaginable and having known that this happening was one of your fears come true. I just… I'm sorry. But April, the point is that you're not alone and you never have to be so stop pushing your husband away. He is grieving as well, just make sure he's just grieving for the loss of one not two" Arizona advised as she moved to the side of the hospital bed April was lying in
"Arizona, I don't know how. He blames me for losing our child, Hell even I blame me for losing our child. I wasn't even supposed to be in the building. I lost our child" April sobbed and Arizona moved to sit on the bed and hold the broken woman
"April, he doesn't blame you at all, that man loves you!. Please don't blame yourself for being in a terrorist attack, it will never be anyone's fault but the person who put that bomb in the building. We're doing everything we can to catch this person so this doesn't happen again. But please let the poor man in" Arizona said, looking at a broken Jackson holding two take away cups of coffee. Arizona slowly got up and that's when April finally realized that her husband was in the room and sent him a small smile.
As Arizona passed him she whispered 'I'm sorry for your loss' and walked out in order to give the couple time to heal, granted it would take longer than just a conversation over coffee but at least it was a start. As she slid the door to the room to close it, she saw Jackson climb into the bed to just hold his wife, both allowing themselves to mourn their child.
Stepping out of the hospital and into the parking lot, Arizona still couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. She had felt it the first time when she left Callie's house, then as she came to the hospital. Checking around her she saw nothing out of the ordinary. Pulling out her phone, she scrolled through her contact list until she got the details she wanted, she shot off a quick text and moved into her car.
Driving to her mother's house, Arizona noticed a blue truck attempting to discreetly follow her, she knew this was definitely not a government job because they would send black SUVs and when the government wanted you to be followed, the operatives were blunt in their actions. So that left two options. Either someone had hired a PI to investigate on her or The Torpedo's needed intel.
'Just another thing to discuss with Uncle Tom' she thought as she turned into the Levitt estate. Parking the car, Arizona quickly stepped out and noticed the blue truck had continued driving on. She had finally decided to walk in and was instantly greeted by her mother
"Hi sweetie, where's Callie?"
"Pleasure to see you too mom. Callie's at her house. WHERE SHE WILL CONTINUE TO STAY" Arizona said with emphasis knowing her mother and her meddling. "I'd love to catchup in a bit I just need to talk to Uncle Tom, real quick."
"He's in his office"
"Great, thanks mom" She said quickly kissing her mother on her cheek before dashing off
Knocking on the large mahogany doors, Arizona waited for the burly voice to allow her entrance. Once stepping foot onto the plush carpets she saw her uncle look up from his work, his thick rimmed glasses seated in the middle of his nose. The rounded man had balding hair and a large head and paired with his small ears gave him a rather cartoon like appearance, However it was his steel grey and his character that got him to the position he was in today
"Rocky, good to see you. How's the Torres case going? your mom said you wanted to talk"
"Hey uncle Tom, I need to ask you for a couple of favors" Arizona said before walking off to the window to spot the blue car. Once she had her eyes on it she finally asked "Do any of your men drive a blue truck?"
"Nope, all of our men are given either black, silver or white cars, why?" the older man said, eyeing his niece who scanned the view from the window.
"Sorry, give me two minutes" Arizona said walking out the office and to the side. Finding who she needed "Hey Sam"
"Hey Z, whats up"
"There's a light blue truck parked a block away from here. Please can you bring him here and bring him to uncle Tom's office. Thanks" she said, the small smile on her face never leaving "How's Pat?" She asked as she walked down the hall with him
"She's great, just found out we have a baby on the way" He said, a face splitting smile adorning him
Arizona stopped walking, both from shock and because she had reached her uncle's office once again "That's awesome, Congratulations Sam!" She said as she moved to hug the abnormally tall man
"Thanks Z, let me go see what I can do about the driver of the blue truck, See you in a bit"
Arizona stepped back into the office that was now clouded in cigar smoke "Your lungs are crying" Arizona deadpanned as she shook her head
"Yeah well I'm trying to get my insides to match my personality; all dark and mysterious" he joked as he took on long drag "Love, not that I don't enjoy your company, you said you had some favors to ask me of"
"Well evidently you know that I'm working on the Torres case, I need you to find out exactly what they know and what they plan to do. And the last thing I need you to do is put some protection for Callie, I've been put on the investigation for the bomb that went off at one of our facilities. Speaking of this wasn't one of our jobs?"
"Nope it wasn't, though it was to send a message to us"
"How is blowing a government building sending a message to a gang"
"You, Arizona. I had a meeting with the head of the Torpedo's and they have started threatening our family. Yesterday, one of them took out Megan's driver and drove her to the gate and then left. They are using power play."
"So this is them"
"Yes, I know it was them. Now kiddo, Tell me about Callie Torres" he said closing his folder before standing up and moving around his desk so he could sit next to his niece.
"Uncle Tom, she's great, like can't stop thinking about her great. She's kind, extremely smart and absolutely breathtaking. She knows everything about me and yet she still wants to be with me. This amazing woman wants to be with me" Arizona finished, her heart pounding and a smile glued to her face
The older man listened to his niece gush about the woman she clearly loved, but wasn't ready to admit it to herself yet. He took a deep, audible breath in "Love looks good on you. I want to meet her soon, bring her over for a family dinner."
"Uncle Tom, I can't bring her here, I'm working on another case right now and besides I need to be ready for like marriage before she comes to visit this place" she laughed
"Arizona, you're bringing her for dinner here one of these nights and that's final." He said authoritatively "You love her that's clear for anyone to see so I think you're good in that department and besides the Torpedo's would never be so stupid as to launch a full attack on this house"
"They seemed pretty bold when they had someone drive up to the gate"
"Emphasis on the word gate, If that imbecile had stepped foot onto my property that would've been his last move. I'll see what I can do about getting your info and I'll definitely put some guys to watch over Callie. Just make sure you're people know, I don't need any problems"
A knock was heard and when the two relatives looked to the door they saw Sam pushing a short plump man further into the office
"You're an FBI agent, why are you meeting with a mob boss? Are you a dirty agent?"
Both Arizona and Tom steeled their features and Tom let his niece take care of her problem. Tom dismissed Sam with a nod and once the tall blonde man left Arizona stood up, her face emotionless.
"Forgive me, I don't know what your name is" she said, her tone confident and authoritative
"Dom Schmitt" the man said apprehensively
Arizona eyed the man up and down, from his ill fitting suit marred with sweat stains and powdered sugar to the way he fiddled with his chubby fingers. The blonde now dragged a chair by the back of its legs to move it next to man and gestured for him to sit down. He cautiously looked at the chair before slowly lowering himself onto it and waiting for the blonde's next move.
Finding his voice, Dom spoke up "So are you a dirty cop? Are you the one letting the Rolling Sevens off the law?"
Arizona swiveled around from her position and looked the man dead in the eye "I'm sorry, are you under the impression that you are allowed to ask me any questions? Mr Schmitt" Arizona sighed pulling up her own chair in front of the man and sitting in it "Why are you following me and more importantly for what"
Dom laughed nervously "I'm a reporter and I've found my story now"
"Mr. Schmitt don't insult me. You and I know both know you'd be a terrible reporter. I'm going to tell you what you are though. You either work for the Torpedo's, which is now I know as unlikely because of your behavior and so that leaves a glorified PI. So tell me who hired you?"
"If you're so smart why don't you figure it out" he rolled his eyes
"Mr Schmitt, you can either tell me what I want to know and then you will be allowed to leave with me or you can get beaten until you do tell me what I want to know and even then i'll leave you to rot" She said her posture rigid and her voice low. She knew she wasn't going to kill him, but he didn't need to know that
"Okay, okay! Aria Torres called me and told me to trail you and tell her what you were up to" he said "I swear that's it all of it, I started today"
"Thank you Mr Schmitt. I want you to destroy the cloning device you have for my phone before I take you to court and sue you twenty five ways to Sunday for tailing a federal agent, got it? Tell Miss Torres that you can't do the job anymore and don't tell her why, Got it?"
Dom nodded incessantly before being escorted out by Sam
"Are you sure you're not a gang member" Uncle Tom asked her laughing
"Of course not, I just have one for a family" she winked "thanks Uncle Tom for everything but I have to run, love you" as she walked out of the room
"You better be here for dinner with that woman of yours and bring Alex too" she heard him yell as she walked down the hallway toward the staircase.
Checking her phone, she saw that she had gotten a reply and smiled as she walked to her car and drove out, finally towards Callie's house. Noticing the extra standard government issued SUV, Arizona's smile brightened as she walked over to it.
"Shepard" She said as she lightly knocked on the car's window
"Robbins" the short brunette woman greeted back dressed in full Marine blues as she stepped out from the car and hugged Arizona.
"You cut your hair" Arizona observed "looks badass" she complimented and Amy blushed
"Arizona why am I here? because we both know it's not about us" Amelia said
"I need you to help me with the whole bomb situation, Uncle Tom says he knows it's a Torpedo job, I just need to find to find the guy I can pin it on. Also I need you to use your magic powers and install the best security system in this house" Arizona said
"Is this your new house?"
"No it isn't mine, it's a umm friends, We're kinda still working on the label" Arizona said blushing
"Are you dating?!" Amelia asked and when she noticed that the blonde just shyly looked down "who would've guessed. Arizona fucking Robbins is dating" she couldn't help but laugh out. "Congrats. So can I'm going to walk around the house to get some of the specs of it"
"Thanks Speedy. I'll be inside with Alex and Jo while you do what you need to" Arizona said before making her way into the Callie's house, her safe place and she noticed all three of them looking at her curiously
"So you called the car" Alex said
"Yup. Hey guys" She said and then looked at Callie, who was now avoiding her gaze which she found as odd, but decided to leave it for the moment because she needed to brief Alex and Jo as to what was going to happen over the time that she would be away.
"Alex, Jo" she called as she walked to the breakfast bar that they were all sitting at. Callie got up, still avoiding my gaze and moving to the lounge and sitting on the couch. Snapping out of my daze "I've been re assigned to work on investigating who planted the bomb, but I have a pretty good idea who is behind it, so it's basically getting the charges to stick. Jo I need you to look over this video footage and run all the faces in the building against all database we have on the Torpedo's. I have Amy looking around the house and she's going to install a new security system and I have my family sending a protection detail so if those fools try anything they're gonna get hit hard"
"Boss what the hell is happening"
"Gang wars has bought up a whole load of shit. The Torpedo's are targeting my family and if they see me here it's going to be more reason to attack this place. Don't tell Amelia anything about the case, I trust her but I don't want to take any risks. If everything goes according to plan i'll be back in a under two weeks, keep me in the loop with whatever is going on here. I'll make the occasional visit but other than that, I'll see you in a little bit." She smiled before walking to Callie
"Can we talk?" Arizona asked a soft smile on her face, It felt like an eternity since she'd seen her Latina beauty and she was embarrassed to admit that she had missed her, even if it only had only been a little over 14 hours. Arizona held her hand out for Callie to take and when she felt the soft hand in hers she smiled even harder and led Callie to her room. The blonde moved to sit on the edge of the bed and patted the space next to her so Callie could sit next to her. When finally sat down, Arizona was about to lean in to kiss her but was stopped when Callie started talking
"Why is Army Barbie looking around my house, Arizona?" Callie asked unamused. Arizona had tried to suppress the grin she knew was on her face as she looked at Callie.
"Amelia Shepard is looking around your house so that she can install the best security system here that even James bond will be able to get in without access. I have to go for a few weeks to help with the investigation" Arizona said sobering up
Callie looked at her for the first time since she had entered the house and then took Arizona's hand "Be safe please." she whispered
"Always baby. Can I get my kiss now, I really missed you" Arizona smiled sheepishly and Callie just leaned in to kiss her instead of replying. The kiss started off slow and soft, both women just enjoying the feel of being in each other's intimate embrace. Callie moved to deepen the kiss, placing her hand on Arizona's head and threading her fingers through the blonde locks. Arizona moaned and placed her hands on Callie's waist before pulling back to rest her forehead against Callie's.
"You're really great at that" Arizona laughed. Reluctantly pulling her body away from Callie's, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a phone and handed it to the brunette
"You're not so bad yourself" Callie winked "Babe, I already have a phone"
Arizona laughed "Calliope, this is an untraceable phone that you can use to call me whenever you want without anyone listening in. Your phone is tapped but this one isn't" she explained as she watched Callie inspect the phone as if it were some piece of alien technology causing the blonde to laugh harder. "So you're okay with Amy here doing some security changes?"
Callie scowled and Arizona kissed it away "Fine, Army Barbie can do what she needs to" she relented
"Thank you. Jealous you is sexy" Arizona smirked planting several small kisses on Callie's lips
"Baby, I'm always sexy" Callie joked
"Yeah, you are" Arizona replied honestly before getting up and holding her hand out. She slightly swayed back from dizziness, her eyes immediately shutting as she tried to focus on anything but the spinning room
"Arizona!" Callie caught her "what have you eaten today?" she asked concern lacing her voice, and when Arizona avoided her gaze she huffed "Arizona! you have to eat" and with that Callie walked out the room muttering in Spanish before coming back in several moments later with a plate of sliced apples and peanut butter. She coated one of the slices with peanut butter before feeding it to Arizona.
"Hmm, that's really good" Arizona said after she swallowed the food before opening her mouth waiting for Callie to feed her another piece.
"Moron" Callie smiled as she continued to feed Arizona. Once the plate was empty, Arizona kissed Callie's cheek before they walked out the room together
"Well now that you guys have finished making out would you mind if I checked your bedroom" Amelia smirked as Arizona blushed and Callie stood tall and unapologetic
"Go ahead Amy" Callie smiled
Amelia just looked at Arizona and smiled. Walking past the couple Amelia stopped and said "Robbins, I'm not sure how you roll with things now but you might want to cover Flagstaff" she grinned devilishly and looked at Callie as they both started full belly laughing. Callie raised her hand to high five the shorter brunette and then Amelia walked away.
Arizona cleared her throat as she tried to reduce the blood flow going both to her cheeks and to her crotch. She was painfully turned on from both the early morning activities and the kiss they shared just now. Couple that with the fact that Arizona hadn't had sex in over a month and you have one horny blonde. She moved so that she was using Callie as a body shield to cover herself and she buried her head in the crook of Callie's neck "Make it stop, please" she whispered
"What? Your erection, honey I pride myself in being able to do that to you" Callie laughed as well as Alex and Jo.
"Callie!" Arizona whined
"Okay! Okay. What do you want me to do?"
'Me' Arizona thought "Make them go away" she said as she buried her head further into Callie's and wrapped her arms around Callie's waist. She heard Callie take a deep breath in as she pressed her crotch into hers and smirked.
"Yeah" Callie breathed out hazily
"You two are hopeless" Jo laughed as she pulled Alex into their room and Callie just watched them go. Arizona moved her head back from Callie's neck and looked into the now jet black eyes "Can I kiss you?" she sweetly asked and after she received a nod she leaned in slightly leaving a small gap for Callie to close.
The two stayed there softly kissing each other until they heard Amelia walking back into the living room. Pulling apart, It was now Callie who placed her head on Arizona shoulder
"What's the game plan?" Arizona asked Amelia
"I'm thinking motion sensors, maybe some laser alerts definitely camera's on the outside, but of course they will be hidden" Amelia finished saying as she continued to look around the house
"Can you also put a fail safe alarm and a bat signal" Arizona asked as she held Callie and Amelia nodded
"Definitely. I'm guessing the bat signal is going to you? Amelia asked and now Arizona simply nodded
"Cal, you want anyone else notified if your alarm trips?" the blonde asks
"Yeah, could you add Aria, so she can come with Jason and Max and my phone as well incase someone breaks in when were not here"
"Sure thing" Amelia answered and then looked around once again "Alright Arizona I'm off. Callie I'll be here tomorrow to start setting everything up and I should be done within a day or two. See you lovebirds" she said as she straightened up and began to walk to the front door.
"I'll walk you" Arizona said and after she kissed Callie's forehead and in seconds was by the Marine's side. As they left the house and walked to Amy's car "Amy just charge everything on my account, You still remember my code right?"
"Yup. I'm happy for you, she makes you happy." Amelia smiled pointing back at the house
"She does. Thanks for everything, I know you just landed today but it was an emergency. I'll see you soon right?"
"Phoenix, you're my best friend, count on seeing me again. Bring Callie too, I have stories to start sharing with her" She laughed "I may be working on helping the FBI too, so I'll come annoy you"
"Yeah I'm sure she'll have enough ammo from you tomorrow anyway. I'll see you at the building then. Make sure you meet Fields, he's a real charmer" she rolled her eyes before walking back into the house
—
The sun had just started to set when they had finished their movie, Arizona having stayed claiming she was following a lead, which in her defense was true. She and Callie were sat on the couch, with Callie pressed into her back. Arizona was looking at the footage Jo had managed to scrub. So there she sat with her laptop placed on her stretched out legs and her headphones in place while Callie lazily ran her hands up and down Arizona's arm just to maintain even more contact. Just as the ending credits were starting to roll, they all heard Arizona start to furiously type at her keyboard and even leaned forward to try as if to hurry the loading bar.
Callie saw Arizona's laptop screen go green several times, showing that whatever test she was running had been successful
"YES!" Arizona screamed as she raised both her hands up in victory before she turned around and placed both hands on either side of Callie's face and kissed her. Hard.
Pulling away, she took her headphones out and mailed whatever she had been working on to somebody. Callie just smiled at the clear excitement her blonde had. Arizona was literally radiating light as she danced around the living room before holding both hands out for Callie to take and join her
"Your girlfriend managed to identify not one, but FIVE Torpedo idiots that were sent in to place a bomb in the FBI" Arizona laughed and spun Callie, missing the look of complete shock adorning the Latina's face. Alex tried to hide his grin and Jo was smiling.
Seeing the other two agents smile at her, Callie somehow felt at ease so that when Arizona spun her back around Callie was beaming too "I'm so proud of you, my genius of a girlfriend. Though you did have help from your team" Callie said before placing a kiss on Arizona's lips. Turning to the other couple that was still on the couch watching them she asked "Why aren't you dancing? This is a happy moment" she laughed and soon enough all four of them were silly dancing in the living room.

Callie was stirring the sauce for her pasta dish when she felt two arms wrap around her and she hummed, reveling in the feeling of being in Arizona's arms. "Want a taste?" She asked grabbing a new spoon and dipping it in the pot
"When have I ever said no to your cooking" Arizona asked before opening her mouth so Callie could feed her. She moaned at the taste hitting her senses "It's uhhhhhhmazing babe. Where did you learn how to cook?"
"Thanks" Callie blushed "I would spend my time with my abuela in the kitchen, it was our kinda bonding time. She would teach me how to cook and I would keep her company. It didn't start off like that though. I used to hate cooking, but she made it fun and she would tell me all sorts of stories while we did it. When she died, I stayed in the kitchen, only this time with our chef Marie. so Abuela taught me all the Mexican dishes and Marie taught me everything else"
"That's so cute and I for one am extremely grateful for them, because now I have you to cook for me forever" Arizona smiled "I'm sorry about your Abuela" Arizona said as she kissed Callie's cheek, the brunette laughing at Arizona's pronunciation of the Spanish word
Arizona was the first person to make Callie feel truly adored and appreciated. The blonde could do such small things like call her her girlfriend or talk about their future and it warmed her heart to no end. She knew she was in love for sure, but it was definitely to early to say, but something in the blonde's eyes made her want to scream it at the top of her lungs.
"I'm going to teach you Spanish sometime" Callie said and Arizona smiled and replied "Can't wait because you speaking it, H O T. Hot. Like pants on fire hot"
Alex walked into the kitchen, his face contorted in disgust "THAT is something I never wanted to hear." he said and visibly shuddered. He moved to start setting the table and Jo joined seconds later sitting quietly at the table. "Boss, staying for dinner?" Alex asked
"Yup, I've been given the day shift since I'm just the intel crew and considering I was called in at 4 am, I definitely have the night off. They texted me that they just had to get the stuff I sent to the judge and then everything would be great."
"So you're at work with us tomorrow?" Callie asked hopefully
"Nope, I still have some stuff to do there. It'll be a two days max. Oh shit, the shoot for the kids, I was supposed to be working on that with Jacob"
"It's fine, I'll just push the opening, and don't forget dinner with your brother tomorrow night as well" Callie reminded and that's when Arizona remembered that as well as dinner with her family as well as the whole Aria hating her and having someone follow her.
"Babe?" Callie said noticing Arizona had zoned out. "Arizona" She tried again a little louder and that seemed to have done the trick
"This week is a busy week" Arizona said "Oh and we have a Star Wars date with Caleb on Saturday and dinnerwithmyfamilyonSundaynight" Arizona rushed out the last part
"What was that" Jo laughed
"I was at the house today and Uncle Tom invited us all for dinner on Sunday night" She said avoiding Callie's gaze. Alex and Jo high five'd. They loved dinner at my families house. It was Callie who was silent
"Your family wants to have dinner with me?" she quietly asked, panic flooding her body
"Yeah"
The rest of dinner was spent discussing other topics, though Callie hardly contributed to any of the conversations, only adding a small nod and a smile here and there, but other than that, silence as she picked at her plate. Arizona was worried but decided to let it go for now.
After dinner, Arizona took Callie's hand and lead her to the couch. Jo and Alex had gone to the room to give the two some privacy.
"Talk to me" Arizona said softly
"I'm meeting your brother tomorrow night and then your entire family on Sunday night. What if they hate me. What if I'm not good enough. I mean I'm just some entitled rich kid that's running my dad's business. Oh god" Callie said horrified and on the verge of tears "I'm not good enough"
"Calliope Iphigenia Torres, My family is going to love you. My mom is already ready to abandon me and adopt you as her daughter" Arizona laughed "Today when I went home YOU were the first thing she asked me about. And Tim, well he loves you too because he's the reason my mom knows you're the amazing person I know you to be. Sure I talked her ear off about you, but Tim kinda cemented it. You already have two major people on your side, and before you know it you'll have my whole family in the palm of your hand" Arizona said before taking a breath. Callie wanted to speak but Arizona stopped her
"As for not being good enough, you Calliope, are the the best thing that's happened to me and it's me that has to prove to you that I'm worth it. You're a goddess. A really hot goddess with the whole aura of amazingness and beauty. You don't have to worry, But if you do feel like it's too soon to meet my family, I understand, there's no pressure we can go whenever you're ready"
Callie kissed Arizona softly and just hugged her. "Thank you, we'll go to dinner on Sunday. I want to"
"Awesome" Arizona smiled and her phone rang. Groaning Arizona got up so that she could answer it. A few minutes later she rolled her eyes as she hung up the phone
"You have to go in?" Callie asked
"I swear it's like the universe doesn't want me to have sex" Arizona huffed and Callie laughed "Don't wait up, Cal. I'm there until tomorrow, one of my team mates got violently sick and I'm going to cover. Have a good day at work tomorrow" Arizona said
"Be careful, try and get some sleep and eat!"
"mmkay" Arizona placed a quick kiss on Callie's lips before gathering her stuff and walking to the door. She stopped at the door before jogging over to Callie and kissing her deeply making both of them moan "Bye" she whispered and then she was out the door.
'Damn' Callie thought 'I'm definitely head over heels, heart over brain in love with Arizona' and there wasn't a thing she wanted to change. Callie slowly walked with a dreamy smile to her bedroom, changed into a pair of shorts and borrowed one of Arizona's sleep shirts before settling under the covers, the smile refusing to be wiped off of her face.

Back at the hospital the next morning, Thalia Torres began to gain a semblance of consciousness, slightly moving her aching limbs, she couldn't remember how she got here or what exactly had happened but when she heard the constant beeping of machines, she knew she was at a hospital. Pressing the small rubber button that called the nurse and waited patiently.
A tall African American came in and smiled at her "Mrs Shepard, It's great to see you, your wife has just gone to get a cup of coffee."
"Wife?"
