A/N: This story is probably ending soon just to give everyone a heads up. I don't really have much else to write about here and I don't wanna drag it out.
They were having casual conversation once again at Sunday dinner with Arizona's family. They had decided with Sofia that it was time to tell her parents about Sofia's girlfriend and request that she bring her as a date to the party. Sofia was nervous, but Arizona said she would tell them and they made sure to let their little girl know they stood by her all the way.
"So Mama, Daddy, I have something we need to talk about," Arizona finally said needing to get this all out.
"What's going on darling?" Barbara asked somewhat concerned because of the looks on their faces. Sofia was busy giving her attention to little Timothy because she was nervous about how this would all go down.
"Sofia has decided she does want to have the party, but she has some conditions."
"Oh yeah, what?"
"She wants to bring Tara, as her date," Arizona put it out there hoping they would get it.
"She can invite whoever she wants," Barbara said not getting the connection.
"It's her party, there will be plenty of eligible men there so it doesn't matter who her date is to the party," Daniel added.
"Daddy, she doesn't want to bring her as a date like a fun things friends do. Tara is her girlfriend and she would be bringing her like a date, date."
"Excuse me? How did this happen?" Daniel protested.
"What do you mean how did this happen? So my daughter likes girls, so what. I'm married to a woman," Arizona raised her voice as Callie grabbed her hand to quietly give her comfort and support.
"Arizona, this is ridiculous. She is only doing this because she sees the two of you together and thinks that's normal. She doesn't have a model for what she should be doing."
"Daniel," Barbara warned knowing he was crossing a line.
"I can't believe you Daddy. I know you didn't accept me at first, but then you did. And then you hated Calliope, but now this time around you have been okay with it. And there is nothing unnatural about it."
"It is enough that my daughter is gay and ran off with a common singer. Thankfully you somehow managed to civilize her and it has been good for your image with homosexuality being a popular topic now."
"I swear to god Daddy, if you continue with this kind of crap this is the last time you will ever see me and your grandchildren. Calliope is my amazing wife and she didn't need to change a thing about her. I am with her because she makes me happy and we are made for each other, not because gay marriage is a popular topic right now in politics. If my daughter likes girls, it changes nothing for me and I will support her no matter what."
Callie looked lovingly at her wife. It was so wonderful to see Arizona stand up for her family. And pissed off, protective Arizona was hot.
"Sofia dear, you must bring your girl to dinner next week, I want to meet her!" Barbara exclaimed trying to help break the tension.
"I will see if she wants to come," Sofia said quietly.
Daniel was quiet now, but he was pissed off. Arizona rarely stood up to him, but lately she would jump on anything if he talked about her family.
"Is she pretty sweetheart?" Barbara asked.
"She's beautiful," Sofia said dreamily thinking about her girlfriend and how much she missed her even though it have only been 2 days since they hung out.
"Oh boy, I know that look," Barbara said knowingly.
"What look?" Sofia said innocently.
"That's the look your Mommy had when she brought your Mama home. You are in love," Barbara said.
"What? Um no I'm not," Sofia defended looking to her Papa.
"Arizona," Daniel said finally speaking up again, "This whole situation is uncalled for. I am your father and you continually disrespect me in my home. This is not how I raised you."
"Actually Daddy, this is exactly who you raised me to be. You raised me to protect the things I love and I love my family. I love my wife and my beautiful children and I will stand up for them no matter what, even it is because I have to protect them from my father's hatefulness."
"I think it's about time I excused myself," Daniel said getting up from the table.
"I'm sorry baby," Barbara said grabbing Arizona's free hand.
"It's not your fault Mom. I don't know how you put up with him."
"For better or worse, I love him. Don't worry, he will come around."
"Yeah, I just figured he would be better about this than he was about me."
"Well I support you all 100%."
"Thank you Barbara," Callie said finally saying something.
"That's what mothers do Callie. And Sofia, you need to bring your girlfriend over sometime this week so we can start planning the party."
"Okay grandma, we will."
Later that night, Callie was sitting in bed alone wishing Arizona was done with work. Arizona was currently in her office working hard and Callie missed her. The campaign was picking up and Callie saw her more at events for photo ops than she did at home. And it wasn't just about sex, although she missed that too, it was just about the intimacy and the togetherness. Most nights that Arizona was home, she spent her time in her office until the wee hours of the morning.
As she lay in bed missing Arizona, she thought about earlier when Arizona had been so defensive of her family and it was turning Callie on. Just her luck, now she was missing Arizona and crazy horny thinking about her passionate wife. With that, Callie flung the covers off and went to find her wife.
She watched her work from the door of the office. Arizona had papers all around her on the desk, two computer screens up in front of her and she was wearing her glasses along with an incredibly cute concentration look on her face. After a few minutes, Arizona looked up when she noticed her in the doorway and smiled.
"Hey baby, sorry I didn't come to bed. There is just a lot of stuff going on and I wanted to get a jump on it. I guess I lost track of time."
"It's okay," Callie said walking up to Arizona and straddling her lap, "I know you get in work mode and everything else just sort of fades away."
"Yeah, honey I know I haven't been spending a lot of time with you lately. I'm so sorry I keep spending all our free time dragging you to events to parade you around."
"Babe, that's what a wife does. She follows her woman around and smiles and kisses babies and talks about how much she believes in her lady."
"Mmm I love you," Arizona said moving and kissing Callie softly.
"I love you too and this will settle down."
"Maybe I shouldn't be doing this," Arizona said looking at Callie for a reaction.
"No, don't say that. You are so good at this and you can really make a difference in this country."
"I know, but I feel like I'm neglecting my family for this and it will calm down for a little bit, but once I am in office it will be just as demanding. And if you think our life is an open book now, just wait until I'm elected."
"We have nothing to hide. You aren't running off with strippers and escorts. I'm not a bored housewife who is just staying with you because of publicity. We are an amazing family and we love each other. This is your calling, we stand with you."
"How did I ever get so lucky?" Arizona wondered aloud.
"Cause you're amazing Arizona, absolutely amazing."
"You're amazing too Calliope. And if this ever gets to be too much, you have to tell me. I will drop it all for you decide this isn't working."
"Got it babe, but you don't have to give it up for me, but maybe we could get some more alone time. You are so good at making sure to still have family time and I love that, but I miss our mommy time. I miss making love once Timothy and Sofia are asleep and then cuddling as we talk."
"We need a date night," Arizona suggested.
"A date night huh?"
"Yeah, a date night that no matter what is going on or how crazy things are getting, we will always have Sofia and Tara watch Timothy while I take you out for a child free night."
"That sounds perfect. I have one other request though."
"Anything," Arizona said as she started kissing Callie's neck.
"No more insanely late nights in the office. I hate going to sleep alone. From now on, you have to be in bed with me by 11."
"Done," Arizona agreed pulling Callie even closer.
"And since it's well after 11, you need to take me to our bedroom and have your way with me."
"I want nothing more than to have my way with you," Arizona said standing up with Callie's legs around her waist.
"Oh my god Arizona, you are going to drop me," Callie said clingy to her very scared that they were headed for the emergency room, not the bedroom.
"No I'm not. I'm taking control and taking my gorgeous, amazing wife to bed."
When they reached the bedroom, Arizona threw Callie down on the bed and jumped on top of her.
"God your hot," Arizona said ripping Callie's pajamas open and starting to feast on her chest.
"I love when you get dominant. I came to your office tonight because I was thinking about how hot it was when you were all protective of your family today. It made me so horny for you."
"Remind me to always make sure you are there when I stick up for you and our kids," Arizona said continuing down to Callie's pants.
After spending the next hour or so rediscovering one another and worshiping bodies, they just lay talking like they usually did.
"God I missed that," Arizona said still somewhat out of breath.
"I missed that too, let's never go more than a day without that."
"I agree."
