Assurances:

A/N: Okay so at this point, I am not really sure where I am going with this story. Obviously, I could go with the birth and their life as new parents, but I dunno how far I want to go yet. If you have any idea, shoot them my way!

After that proposal, they had gone home to break the news to Arizona's mom. She was expecting it, but knowing everything they had been through she was still holding her breath. Her fears were squashed when the two women came into the apartment hand in hand unable to keep their eyes off the other.

"So I take it things went well," she commented.

"Yeah, perfect actually. Calliope agreed to marry me," Arizona said totally starry eyed still not breaking Callie's gaze.

"We are going to be a family," Callie added rubbing Arizona's belly.

"I couldn't be more excited! This is amazing news, so I should phone your father. Actually, I was thinking about going out to do a bit of shopping. I will just call him during my errands."

They both knew that she was trying to give them space since they were newly engaged and neither woman was going to argue with that right now. After a round of hugs and congratulations, Barbara excused herself and grabbed Arizona's keys. Once she was out the door, Callie dragged Arizona to the bedroom. For the next hour at least, they just got lost in each other. It was even better than their weekend in Portland because this time they were promising each other forever. Arizona tried to show Callie her commitment by taking her time to worship every part of her body.

They lay there together after many orgasms and didn't even feel the need to say anything. Somehow the universe had aligned and things were finally working out. Arizona's phone buzzed and she ignored it for a while, then when it got annoying she decided to turn it off.

Looking at the screen she saw it was from her mother.

Arizona dear, I grabbed a hotel room so you two can have the apartment to yourselves tonight. I know you would never ask me for that, but you just got engaged, so I wanted to leave you undisturbed. Your father is very excited and let me know if you need anything. I love you two!

Arizona just laughed, "Thank you Momma!" she exclaimed as she attacked Callie once again.

"What was that?"

"My mother is staying in a hotel to give us some privacy. That means I get to make love to you all night long and you can be as loud as you want."

"Hmm, well in that case," Callie started using her strength to flip Arizona over, "I plan on making my fiancé scream my name over and over again."

"Mmmm, Calliope," Arizona managed to get out.

Callie moved down and talked to her stomach, "Hey little one, you should cover your ears now."

They continued to pleasure each other and whisper words of love and commitment all night long. It was a little difficult at times because of how pregnant Arizona was, but they made it work. Surprisingly, she seemed to have even more energy for sex than Callie towards the end. They fell asleep in each other's arms almost unsure if this was real or just the most amazing dream imaginable.

…..

The next day, Arizona's bladder was screaming at her so she woke up early. After a quick dash to the bathroom, she just sat on the bed and watched Callie. She couldn't believe she had almost let this perfect woman slip through her fingers. Honestly, in her eyes it didn't get better than her lover. She had no doubt that spending forever with Callie was the single most fulfilling and amazing thing she could ever experience. At this point, she was surprised Callie even wanted to marry her, but she just decided to make sure to always treat her right and be the woman that Callie deserved. She hadn't said it, but Callie felt exactly the same way.

Wanting to do something nice for her and unable to sleep, Arizona slipped out to grab coffee, bagels, and donuts from the corner shop. With a quick kiss to Callie's forehead, she wandered out in search of breakfast. While she was gone, Callie slowly awoke and reached for Arizona. She could feel that Arizona's side of the bed was still warm, but she wasn't there. She groaned at the loss and dragged herself out of bed to go meet her blonde in the kitchen. Oddly, Arizona wasn't there. Thinking maybe she was in the bathroom or getting something from the room she had been living in, Callie checked all of those places. She was nowhere.

Callie immediately started to cry. She had been stupid to think this whole thing had been real. Arizona must have freaked out after yesterday's events and left because she didn't know how to face Callie after everything she said. She didn't want to believe Arizona would ever bail again, but her insecurities got the best of her. She just crashed onto the couch and let her tears fall, feeling absolutely worse than she ever felt before. Going over and over the events of the past few days in her head, she didn't even hear the key in the door.

Arizona pranced in with a huge smile on her face thinking she would be rewarded for bringing a usually grumpy morning person coffee. That was until she saw Callie absolutely falling apart on the couch.

"Calliope," she said concerned as she set the items down on the coffee table and was immediately by her side, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Callie looked up at her in a daze, "What are you doing here?"

"What do you mean what am I doing here? I just ran out to get my beautiful fiancé breakfast and much needed coffee since I kept you up half the night."

Realizing she had jumped to assumptions she let out a huge sigh of relief, "Oh, uh yeah breakfast, of course," Callie said pulling Arizona close and clinging to her.

"You thought I left didn't you?"

"Um, no…well…Yeah I was afraid of that."

"Calliope, you can be honest, I don't blame you."

"I don't want you to think that I don't trust you, but this all seemed like it was too good to be true. Yesterday was a lot and I am terrified that you will realize you don't want this again."

"And that's my fault. I gave you false hope once before and then tore the rug out from under you. I get why you are worried, but you don't need to be. I promise you, this time I'm in it forever, no matter what."

"I think I'm going to need you to remind me of that a lot for a while."

"I will remind you every day if that's what you need. I will even tell you multiple times a day. But the best thing is that I won't just tell you, I'm going to show you."

"I love you."

"I love you too Calliope and I'm not going anywhere," Arizona said placing her hand on her own stomach, "And I love our baby too, more than I ever thought possible."

Callie smiled ear to ear hearing Arizona profess her love for their child, which was really what she needed to hear.

"So, you got me coffee. Gimme! I knew I agreed to marry you for a reason," Callie teased now that her panic was over.

"Yeah, well I'm marrying you for your boobs and your ass, so I can live with that."

"Hey," Callie scolded swatting Arizona's arm a little bit as she took a long sip of the heavenly cup of Joe.

"What can I say, you have an amazing rack and an equally fantastic backside. I can't get enough of it."

"Let me finish my breakfast and then I'll show you the things I love the most about your body."

"Mmmm, I have no objections to that," Arizona responded as she pulled Callie in for a kiss.

Arizona's mother finally came back that afternoon and gave them a knowing smirk as she brought her things back into the nursery. Callie had already moved all of Arizona's things back into the master bedroom since that was where she would be from now on. Things were perfect. They spent the evening making baby plans.

"Calliope, we all know what to do. Can we stop this?"

"Arizona, I'm not taking any chances. Obviously, I will probably be home or circling like a hawk and I know we are across the street, but we have to prepare for all scenarios."

Arizona just sighed and her mother commented, "Oh Daniel would love this. She's thinking like a marine!"

"This isn't wartime Mama. It is just going to be a normal day when I feel contractions and we grab the paperwork with the suitcase before heading over to the hospital. It's not a crisis."

"We will have to be calm in the moment sweetheart," Callie said looking up from her multiple Operation Baby On the Way plans, "I cannot be calm unless I know that we are all prepared for any bump in the road."

"Okay baby, I get it. This is all a little bit unnecessary, but I humored you, so can we please just go to sleep now?"

"Fine, but we are giving it another run through tomorrow morning," Callie insisted.

"I can live with that."

….

The next morning Callie let Arizona sleep in because that was usually hard for her these days. She ran over her detailed plans once more and then cooked an amazing breakfast. Barbara was eating and reading the newspaper, but Arizona had still not emerged so Callie went in to check on her. Sitting on the bed, she just watched the very pregnant woman fight waking up. She was tossing a little bit and mumbling in her sleep. Callie just moved and pulled Arizona in to her front, enjoying the closeness. About fifteen minutes later Arizona spoke, "Mmmm I have missed waking up to you every morning."

"Well, get used to it. I'm going to be here for another 50 years."

"I like the sound of that."

"I made you breakfast darling. How are you feeling today?"

"Mentally, amazing because I have you back. Physically, I feel like shit."

"Oh I'm sorry beautiful. Is there anything I can do?"

"Make this baby come out of me? I seriously need my body back, in so many ways."

"I do love your body, but I love your pregnant body just as much," Callie commented running her hands up and down Arizona's belly.

"This isn't about feeling hot or sex, although that will be nice. This is about not having to pee every thirty seconds, not waking up with a migraine, not having my entire body ache, not having constant indigestion, and not feeling exhausted all the time."

"I'm sorry you don't feel good. I could help you out a bit if you want," Callie said suggestively dropping her tone.

"You have worn me out since our engagement. Plus, I know my mom is in the next room, so that's not going to happen, but thank you."

"Wow, I can't believe the Arizona Robbins is turning down sex. Sure, when you are mad at me I get it, but turning down sex not to win an argument or punish me, this is new."

"Ugh, I need to have this baby and soon. You are right, me turning down sex is unheard of for these reasons, I never want to have to tell you no like this again."

"Good, I guess I will still marry you," Callie teased.

"Shut up!"

"You love me."

"Yes, yes I do," Arizona said gazing lovingly at her soon to be wife.
