Arizona rushed up the stairs. There was no mistaking that look in Callie's eyes when she left and she knew that this was going to go well, it just had too. She smiled as she unlocked and opened her door.

That smile dropped when all she saw in her living room was a sleeping Mary sprawled out on her couch. She looked around her apartment. She started in the bedroom only to find Ana sleeping soundly in her bed, she moved to the bathroom and kitchen only to find them as she left them. Where on Earth was Callie?

She moved to the edge of the couch where Mary's head lay. She looked around the apartment hoping it would look different in the next few minutes. She kept hoping she hadn't missed something. When she was fairly certain that it really did look exactly as it did when she walked in, she sat down in defeat on the couch. She knew Mary was a light sleeper and as she suspected, Mary woke up when she sensed Arizona's movement.

Mary sat up and rubbed her eyes. She looked at Arizona's puzzled face and said "She left a little while ago and"

Before Mary could elaborate, Arizona cut her off with "What do you mean she left? God Mary what did you say to her? I don't understand". Arizona sank back into the couch with her head in her hands.

Mary was about to explain when there was a knock at the door. Mary smiled knowing who it was and went to answer the door.

"Tell them to go away, I just want to get some sleep" said Arizona as she stood up and moved toward the bedroom.

"Wait. Just wait one minute Zone" said Mary as she peeked through the peephole then opened the door.

Arizona turned to see Callie standing in the doorway. Callie looked troubled and was nervously holding her hands in front of her. At Mary's nod, Callie stepped into the apartment. Mary closed the door, gave Callie's shoulder a squeeze then moved toward Arizona to give her a kiss goodnight. "Have a little faith love" she whispered as she moved into the bedroom.

Arizona walked toward Callie with a curious expression on her face. 'Why did you leave?', 'Why did you come back?', 'What did Mary say to you?' were all questions that she wanted to ask but instead she said "Hey"

Callie looked shyly at her and responded "Hey"

Both women staring at each other for a few minutes before Callie finally found the courage to speak. "When you left, Mary and I were talking and I started thinking. I thought about everything. I thought about my marriage, my divorce, and I thought about you and me. I thought about how you have always been there for me from the moment you met me. I am so appreciative for all you've done Arizona. I felt like I didn't have a friend in the world and you just stepped in like you already belonged. Then I was confused, I didn't know if" She stopped at this point to gauge Arizona's reaction so far.

Arizona looked at her with a small smile. She walked toward her and angled her head to the side as she took Callie's hand. "I'm listening".

Callie let out a small gasp when Arizona took her hand and looked at the woman in front of her. She thought that when she finally got to this speech, she'd have it figured out. She thought seeing Arizona would give her the courage to tell Arizona what she'd been feeling. Instead all she wanted to do was run. She dropped Arizona's hand and said "I'm sorry" as she turned toward the door.

Arizona was about to tell Callie to wait when a tiny voice did it for her.

"Wait you can't go. This isn't how it ends"

Callie turned around to a very insistent four year old who had her arms crossed across her little chest.
