A/N: Just some fluff in this one.

17 weeks

Callie smiled broadly at the sight of her wife across the room; she'd just entered the peds ward, stopping when she saw Arizona leant against the front desk. At 17 weeks pregnant, Arizona was the image of perfection; her swollen baby bump now visible through her scrubs, something which never ceased to cause Callie to just stop and look.

Arizona could feel eyes watching her, more so she could feel brown eyes watching her; somehow she could always tell when her wife was nearby, turning she grinned when she realised she was indeed correct, 'Hey you.'

' Hey yourself.' Callie replied, greeting Arizona with a small peck to the lips.

'What you doing up here?' Arizona asked, leaning back against the desk.

'Some kid with a broken femur...then I spotted you and I had to...well...stare...'

'Stalker.' Arizona said with a wink, 'No time for coffee?'

Callie shook her head, 'Afraid not, after this I'm heading to surgery so I probably won't see you until I get home.'

Arizona nodded, 'I'll get Jess and see you there then, more house hunting tonight?'

'Probably should.' Callie replied, they had been gradually looking through real estates on the internet most nights; nothing taking their fancy as yet, at least they had time on their side.

'I'll see you later, love you.' Arizona said.

'Love you too.' Callie replied, backing away as she headed for her consult.

Later that day and Arizona had picked up Jess from school and was now watching as she played meticulously with her doctors kit and teddy; she was currently reassuring the big brown bear that he was going to be ok once she had performed surgery. Arizona shook her head as she chuckled gently; she had thought that with Jess having to spend so much time in hospital the year previously she would want to do everything but play doctors. Apparently the reverse was the case.

Ever since they'd had the heart to heart with Jess about the twins, she had really come round to the idea; every now and then she would sit with Arizona and talk to her stomach, she would draw pictures of what the baby would look like and sometimes she would sit with both Callie and Arizona at night and look through some pictures of houses; both wanting to make Jess feel as involved as possible with every decision they were having to make.

As Arizona sat back watching Jess she leant forwards slightly, hearing a pop she looked down in alarm. The front button of her jeans, which were already two sizes bigger than her normal size, was now on the floor. Sighing heavily Arizona rested her head in her hands, 'Jess I'm just in the bedroom for a minute if you need me.'

'Ok Mommy.'

Callie smiled when she heard the babbling of Jess from the other side of the door as she pushed her key in the lock, 'Hey guys!'

'Mama!' Jess sprung up from her position in the living area, running into Callie's arms. Callie reciprocated the hug, looking above her blonde locks to try and find Arizona, frowning when she didn't find her.

'Where's Mommy babe?' Callie asked, following Jess through the apartment.

'She went to the bedroom ages ago.' Jess replied.

'Ok sweetie, you stay here I'll be back in a minute.' Callie replied, heading for their bedroom door to see what was keeping Arizona. Opening the door she stopped when she saw the bombsite that had been her room only hours previously; there were clothes absolutely everywhere, on the floor, on the bed, a top was even hanging from the light fitting; and in amongst it all there was Arizona, sat cross legged in just her underwear with tear tracks down her face. 'Zo?'

Arizona looked up when she heard Callie's voice, shrugging she didn't say anything as she hung her head once again. Picking her way carefully through the clothes, Callie bent down when she got in front of Arizona, 'Babe? What's up?'

'I'm too fat.' Arizona said simply.

'What?' Callie replied, 'No you're not you're...'

'Don't lie Calliope...I'm fat...I was just sat in the kitchen and my freaking jean button popped off!' Arizona said, throwing her arms forward to demonstrate the point, 'Those jeans were two sizes bigger than normal and the button popped off.'

Callie smiled softly, 'Zo...fine your button popped off...but that just means the baby's are growing and are healthy and...we'll go shopping tomorrow ok?' Arizona huffed in response, not appeased by Callie's offer. 'You know what? You are the most beautiful, amazing, woman I have ever met and somehow, now, you are even more beautiful and even more amazing because you're pregnant with our babies and that's just...freaking miraculous...' A small smiled tugged at the corners of Arizona's mouth, 'And you're even more miraculous when you smile.' This time a full smile appeared on Arizona's face, dimples on full display.

'You're such a smooth talker.' Arizona said, leaning forwards to properly welcome her wife home.

'Learnt from the best.' Callie said, looking around at the room she added, 'Did you really have to throw everything quite so wildly?'

'I got angry,' Arizona replied. 'Hormone casserole remember?'

Callie chuckled gently, 'At least you're a cute one.'

'In the meantime what am I going to wear?!' Arizona whined. 'I can't wander around in my underwear until we get...maternity clothes.'

Callie stood up gently, picking her way through the mess she rooted through the only drawer that apparently Arizona hadn't, 'Here.' Callie returned, handing Arizona a pair of her oversized joggers and her old med school hoody.

Arizona smiled, letting Callie pull her to her feet, she pulled on the clothes Callie had offered her, still a snug fit but a lot more comfortable than anything else she had. 'Sorry about the mess,' Arizona said as she took in the full scale of her whirlwind. 'I'll sort it out...'

'It's fine Zo, I'll do it later,' Callie said. 'You should rest.'

Arizona rolled her eyes, that was going to get old before too long.

'I like that one!' Jess exclaimed as she once more sat in between her Moms looking at houses currently for sale. 'It's like a princess castle!'

Callie laughed, 'I know we need more space mija but I don't think we need a castle.'

Jess pouted before another thought filtered through into her head, 'If we get a new house with a massive backyard...can we get a puppy?!'

Callie's eyes went wide she looked over to Arizona; her expression mirroring her own, 'You can take this one.' Callie said.

Arizona scowled at Callie before looking down at the literal puppy dog eyes that Jess was now looking at her with, 'Maybe after the babies are born we can think about it.'

Callie rolled her eyes as she mumbled, 'Pushover.'

'Like you could say no either,' Arizona shot back with a wink.

'Can we have a spotty dog?!' Jess asked, her mind far away from the houses in front of you.

'Maybe,' Arizona said. 'Let's see what happens...we have to find a house first!'

'Oh yeah!' Jess said, her eyes focusing back on the screen in front of her, the promise of a new house momentarily overtaking the maybe promise of a dog.

'Crisis well averted.' Callie murmured causing Arizona to smile once more.

Callie re-entered the living area after putting Jess to bed, Arizona already stretched out on the sofa, lifting her head up, Callie slipped in underneath, one hand instantly resting on top of Arizona's belly. Even though Callie's hoody drowned the smaller woman, she still looked freaking adorable. 'She asked about the puppy again.'

'What'd you say?' Arizona asked, her own hand coming to rest on top of Callie's.

'I may have told her that she has to be a really good girl...for a year...'

'Calliope Torres! You've resorted to bribing our daughter?' Arizona said, a grin spreading on her face.

'Welll hopefully she'll forget in time.'

'Tsch, kid remembers everything.' Arizona replied instantly.

'Well then we'll have to get a dog.' Callie replied, admitting defeat.

'We haven't even got a house yet!' Arizona exclaimed.

'I know,' Callie replied. 'We will soon though...we'll find something.'

Arizona smiled, 'I liked the castle too...'

'No.' Callie replied, 'I am not living in some Disney fairytale for the rest of my life...'

'And here I thought I was your Cinderella...' Arizona replied.

Callie scoffed, 'What does that make me? Prince Charming?' When she got no reply Callie looked down, finding Arizona wide-eyed and staring at her belly. 'Babe?'

'Keep talking.' Arizona requested.

'What?'

'Calliope just keep...say something.'

'Like what?' Callie asked, very confused at her wife's new train of conversation.

'Tell me about your surgery today...in detail.'

Callie's brow furrowed but she decided to adhere to her wife's strange request, 'Well it was a simple femur repair...kid fell off some monkey bars, I tell you monkey bars are like the candy store for ortho surgeons...' Callie stopped when she felt it. Her eyes snapping to where her hand was rested on Arizona's belly, 'Was t-t-that?'

'I-i think so...it stops when you stop talking...so keep talking.'

Callie swallowed heavily, 'Um...right...ok...so, monkey bars...yeah, the moral of the story is that Jess...or any of our kids are ever going on them...the amount of kids who've bones I've had to put back together after they've fallen off the damn things...' There it was again. It was small. Gentle. But it was there. A little bump against their entwined hands.

'Oh my God.' Arizona said, her eyes finally moving to find Callie's. 'That's our baby...or babies...I can't really tell but...wow.'

Callie smiled, not hiding the stray tear that fell down her cheek and fell onto Arizona's forehead, 'That's our babies.'

Arizona smiled, straining upwards she smiled when Callie bent forwards and captured Arizona's lips in hers, 'You need to keep talking!' Arizona said, sitting up slightly so she was nestled in Callie's side.

'Hang on...' Callie stood up much to Arizona's disappointment, 'Shift up.' Arizona did as she was told, moving along, Callie climbed onto the opposite end of the sofa, lying down she rested her arms on Arizona's hips, her head just below her belly. 'Right, what story shall we tell now?'

Arizona grinned at Callie's new position, 'I dunno...anything...'

'Well...I know,' Callie grinned as she got herself comfortable. 'How about the story of how I met your Mommy huh?' Arizona smiled, her wife was such a softy, hardcore and badass, but a real softy underneath. 'Well it was this one night...Mama wasn't feeling too hot, a run of bad days...a long run...and a broken nose...that sucked.' Another kick came, this time from the other side of Arizona's belly.

'There's number two,' Arizona said, reaching down as Callie reached her hand up, their fingers entwining. 'And can I just...you broke your nose?'

Callie chuckled, she obviously hadn't told her wife that story, 'Long story short, a guy came into the ER suffering from severe sleep walking, he'd jumped out a window or something I think, he lashed out whilst he was asleep, his fist connected with my nose, I fell to the floor, broken nose.' Callie ignored the slight gasp from her wife, too concerned with the continuous kicking that seemed to have broken out whenever she spoke. 'Yes, you have Mark to thank for this pretty face.'

'Remind me to thank him tomorrow.' Arizona replied, 'I can't believe that happened...'

Callie nodded, 'Honestly it was the final blow for me; Erica had just left, I was tired; like sooo tired, tired of the job, tired of the hospital and tired of people screwing me over...then you kissed me in a dirty bar bathroom and well...the rest is history from there isn't it?'

Arizona smiled softly, she'd known that Callie had been having a hard time before she met her; but to hear more of the little details broke her heart a little bit, 'I'm sorry Calliope.'

'I'm not,' Callie replied, 'Everything happens for a reason right? If Erica hadn't left then maybe you would never have made your move...'

Arizona chuckled, 'Oh I think I would've made my move regardless...'

Callie was about to reply when she heard Jess padding towards them, 'Mija, what are you doing still up?'

'I had a bad dream.' Jess replied, instantly making her way onto the sofa, sitting on Arizona's lap.

'You wanna talk about it?' Arizona asked.

Jess shook her head, 'Snuggles helps, what are you doing Mama?'

'Come here, I'll show you.' Callie said, shifting onto her side so that Jess could lay down next to her. Taking Jess' hand she placed it underneath hers, pressed between her hand and Arizona's belly, 'Hold your hand there sweetie and then just wait.'

'What for?' Jess asked.

'You have to talk!' Arizona said, her eyes on Callie. 'It only happens when you talk.'

'Ok, ok.' Callie said, 'Right, so your Mama kissed me in the dirty bathroom...and then I avoided her...'

'What was that?!' Jess exclaimed as she felt the bump against her hand.

'That's your little brother or sister saying hello.' Arizona replied with a smile.

'Really?!' Jess said, shifting forwards. 'Keep talking Mama!'

Callie chuckled as she continued the story, Jess had heard it before but that didn't matter, not only did she like hearing the story anyway, she was fully concentrated on the kick that she kept feeling against her hand. Time flew by as the three remained on the couch, time of no concept as they continued to feel the babies kicks beneath them.

Eventually the kicking subsided, Callie realising that Jess was now fast asleep, 'I'll put her back in bed.'

Arizona nodded, 'Calliope?'

'Hmm?' Callie asked as she bent to pick Jess up.

'I love you,' Arizona replied simply. 'And I love our family.'

Callie smiled, bending down gently so as not to disrupt Jess, she kissed Arizona gently on the lips, 'I love you too babe, now go get your ass in bed so that I can show you just how much.'
