Chapter 11

Callie sat up in the hospital bed and looked around the room. Arizona wasn't there. No one was there. Her parents had came and went, making sure that she was okay, but now they were gone and she was alone. Where had Arizona gone? She was alone with her thoughts and that was never good. She felt around for the remote for the television and turned it on, sighing frustrated when she couldn't find anything on. Maybe Arizona had just slipped out to get coffee or something, but the Latina was damn tired of being in that bed.

"Dr .Torres." Owen Hunt said as he entered the room. "How are you feeling?"

Callie rolled her eyes. "Uh. I got shot in the leg Chief, How do you think I'm feeling?"

Hunt laughed at this and came over to her bedside. "That was a very brave thing you did in there for your girlfriend. Robbins is very lucky to have you."

Callie's eyes widened in shock. Girlfriend? She'd never really thought of Arizona as her girlfriend before, but come to think of it she'd jumped in front of a bullet for her so obviously she was in love with her. It was hard for Callie to claim she loved anyone, not after what had happened in her past especially with Erica and George, but she'd never felt this way about anyone. Not even the man she married. She loved him, but it wasn't the same type of love. She'd never felt like this in her life about anyone.

She wanted to argue with him and say she wasn't Arizona's girlfriend, but instead she just nodded and said. "It had to be done."

Owen smiled and sat down next to her bed. "I can see how much you love her Callie." he recoiled. "I know you may not want to discuss such personal matters with me, but I can see it in your eyes."

Callie sighed, blowing out a heavy breath. She knew she was in love, but she just wouldn't' allow herself to say it. Not yet. What if she did and then Arizona bailed just like everyone else? Would she take that chance?

"Thank you Chief." was all the Latina doctor managed to say before Owen Hunt disappeared out of the room.

The next time Callie looked up it was Arizona she saw. She'd come back with a coffee. Her blonde locks of perfect hair bounced perfectly when she took a step. Her bright blue eyes gleamed. Oh god Callie was in love.

-.-.-

"How are you feeling?" a worried Arizona asked. She still couldn't believe only hours ago that Callie took that bullet for her. She was so in love with this girl, but wasn't sure if Callie felt the same for her. Teddy could see it. Owen could see it. Meredith could see it. So why wasn't Callie telling her? Was she just afraid that Arizona would hurt her like everyone else had in the past? Arizona was a strong man in a storm though. She wished she could talk to her brother about this now. Boy he would be so proud to meet Callie.

"I'm okay." the brunette answered, shaking Arizona out of her thoughts.

"Good. When you get out of that hospital bed, I have something very special planned. You saved my life so you deserve the best there is."

Before the other woman could argue, Arizona leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. "No arguing. You saved my life. I'm treating you."

Callie wanted to argue, but how could she. She wanted to keep kissing Arizona. She would kiss her until the end of time if she could. The brunette was deep in her thoughts. She loved Arizona. She really did, but she was just afraid. Come on Torres. Just say it. Say it. Say it. she kept telling herself over and over again, but the words just would not come out. Instead she just pulled Arizona onto the bed with her and they got lost in each other, kissing and touching wherever they could and not caring what soul walked into that room.

_._._

"Uh Calliope." Callie's mother spat out of her mouth when she saw the two lost in each-other's arms. Two women. Wait, her daughter wasn't gay. Last time she checked she was with George O'malley. They had gotten a divorce the last she heard.

It wasn't just Mrs. Torres who was shocked, Mr. Torres was even more shocked. Their mouths hung open in surprise and their eyes were as wide as saucers.

"Mommy. Papi." Callie said when she finally spotted them come into the room. Arizona quickly jumped up from the bed and stared at the couple before her. Callie's parents.

"Sorry guys." Callie apologized. "This is Dr. Arizona Robbins."

"I don't care who this woman is." the father shouted and started cursing in Spanish, startling both Callie and Arizona.

"Carlos. Calm down." Mrs. Torres said as she pulled her husband to the side.

"Arizona. Can I speak to my parents alone for a moment?" Callie hinted, and Arizona sped out of the room, cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

As soon as she was gone Carlos stepped close to her bed, shaking his wife's hand off of his arm. "Since when have you been dating women?" he spat angrily.

"I uh." Callie couldn't find any more words. She didn't want her dad to hate her, but she loved Arizona. She loved her. She finally admitted that to herself now. She would finally say it, if her parents didn't kill her first.

"I don't know. It happened recently Papi, but Arizona isn't just any woman." she pleaded with him.

Arizona couldn't help but eavesdrop on the other side of the door to listen what all of them were saying.

"This is just wrong Mejia." her dad spoke. "I'm disappointed in you. I wanted you to wed a handsome man and give me some grandchildren. I suppose that will never happen now. I am done. If this is the way you choose to live your life, your mother and I will have no part of it."

Callie's lip started quivering and a tear slipped down her cheek. She wouldn't allow herself to cry though.

"Papi. I took a bullet for her. This isn't just some phase. It isn't some one night stand. I-I" Callie didn't even get to finish before her father started pacing the room cursing in Spanish.

"Carlos. Honey. Just listen to her would you?" Carlos didn't say another word and he sped out of the room nearly mowing down Arizona. "Excuse me." he muttered, not even looking at who he'd ran into or else the blonde knew she'd be in a heap of trouble. "Carlos!" Lucia tried one more time but he was gone.

"Honey. Your father needs time." Lucia said softly as she grabbed her daughter's hand. "He doesn't understand, but I do."

Callie looked up at her mother with blood-shot, tear-filled eyes. "You do? You don't hate me?"

Lucia sat down on the edge of the bed and comfortingly rubbed one of Callie's hands with her fingers. "Of course not Darling. Your father is just very set in his ways. You know how he is. He will eventually calm him down. He loves you, you know that."

"Mami." Callie spoke softly.

"Yes Calliope?"

"You know why I did it right?" Callie swallowed the huge lump in her throat.

"It's because you're in love Mejia. Is that it?" Lucia guessed exactly right.

Callie was finally able to speak again. "Yes mami. I am in love with her. I love Arizona Robbins. I'd take any bullet for her. I'd do anything for her." Callie gasped when she finally heard the words come out of her mouth. "In fact I think I love her more than anyone I've ever thought to love."

Arizona who stood at the door felt tears slipping out of her pale-blue eyes. Callie was in love with her and she was in love with Callie.

"You l-love me?" Arizona choked out as she walked into the room, interrupting the bond between mother and daughter.

Callie looked away from her mother and too Arizona and saw that she was crying but she had a smile on her face, that super magic smile that she always wore. Her perfect dimples shone through and her bright-blue eyes lit up.

"I love you Arizona." Callie muttered.

"Be right back Mejia." Lucia said, but Callie barely heard the words. She was in a trance, staring at the beautiful woman in front of her.

"I love you." Callie spoke again, knowing it's just exactly what Arizona needed to hear.

The blonde pediatric surgeon threw her arms around her girl's neck and felt a few more drops fall down onto Callie's shoulder. She pulled herself away a couple seconds later and smirked, her dimples shining once again. "I knew it."

Callie chuckled and slapped Arizona on the shoulder. "I love you too." Arizona softly said before leaning down and placing another kiss on Callie's lips. "I've loved you since the day I laid eyes on you Calliope Torres."

"Does this mean were are girlfriends?" Callie asked once they broke away from the kiss.

"Of course it does stupid!" Arizona muttered before capturing Callie's lips once more in a kiss that felt like it would never end, and that was good because neither one of them wanted it to end ever. This was the perfect moment and they wanted it to last forever.

Both of them had lives to maintain. Arizona needed to go back to work even after facing that traumatizing event and Callie needed to deal the pressing issue that was her father and get her leg healed properly after taking a bullet to it but right now they were happy and that's all that mattered.
