Hey guys. I know I know..its been forever, well..it's a long story, much ado about nothing really.

Ill do my best. Any suggestions about what happens in the fic are appreciated, I can always change it if your ideas are better than mine. Anyways. Rinse and repeat my faithful reviewers. Loves. )

They drove up to the house after what seemed like an eternity by the time callie had faffed on with whatever she was doing. George had blindfolded her of course so she wouldn't have a clue where they were or what they were going to do. She was flipping out on him though. She didn't have a clue where he was takling her, and because of her stupid hormones, she currently hated not knowing what was happening. She repeatedly tried to pull down the bandana that george had tied around her eyes, only to have her hand swatted away by george, followed by a soft tap to the leg to warn her not to do it again.
"I told you to leave it on! Don't try and take it off again Mrs."
"George! You know I hate surprises right now. Just let me take it off. Ill, I don't know, just keep my eyes shut or whatever."
"No. I know you wont so just…you'll leave it on. We'll be there in a few minutes. Patience is a virtue Cal."
She hated that saying, and he used it more often than she liked. She was patient, kinda. But he was standing his ground and she found it pretty sexy.
He looked over and she was doing that adorable pout that she did. Her arms were folded and were rested on her bump. As he was watching her, she moved her hand to the top of her stomach, caressing her bump. One of the triplets must have kicked, the pout instantly fell from her face and was soon followed by a slight smile. He moved his hand from the gear stick and placed it on top of hers. At first, she didn't move, but a few moments later she reluctantly gave in and placed his hand underneath hers. She caressed his thumb and he too felt the triplets kick. He knew that she couldn't stay pissed at him for too long, especially when she felt the triplets kick.
"Its awesome hey.."
Callie laughed gently.
"Yeah, I think there punishing there mommy for being moody with daddy."
He leaned over and kissed her cheek before returning his hand to the gear stick -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally they pulled up at the house. It was just how he remembered, and it was for the exact reasons. It did ooze family. The apple trees and cherry blossoms lined street, the row of houses with the perfectly trimmed lawns, the white picket fence and the view of Seattle. She couldn't hate him for this. She was going to love it and he knew it. It was big but not huge. It needed to be pretty big to accommodate their growing family, but it was cosy and homely. He stopped the car just outside in a position where she could see the house and the street and also the view of seattle.
"Right Cal. Were here."
"FINALLY! There better be a toilet here george coz' either your sons or your daughter are definitely gonna be on the soccer team they way there kicking my bladder. Bullshit not long.."
He laughed.
"Ok then. But leave your blindfold on just until we step out of the car ok?"
"Fine."
He walked round to her side and opened the door. He helped her out and turned her round.
"Now, close your eyes while I take your blindfold off and then I want you to open them on the count of 3 ok?"
"What kind of game is-..ok.."
He loosened the bandana before scrunching it up and placing it in his pocket.
"One, Two, Three.."
She opened her eyes and looked around her. She just thought he'd brought her to see the view. It was a beautiful panorama of the city and the water.
"Its beautiful."
She reached fro his hands and pulled them around her from behind, resting them on her stomach.
"Cal?"
"Mmm?"
"As much as I'd love to stay in this moment with you..theres something else..you see that house right there?..The one with the sold sign outside? What do you think?"
"Yeah its beautiful. Id love something like that one day."
'Score. Go georgey ooh-ooh go georgey'.He just didn't say it out loud.
"Its ours."
"Ok..Erm, sorry what did you just say!"
She turned round and held a death grip on his hands. He flinched in pain.
"Jeez Cal loose the grip. Im a surgeon. Hands are important yano.."
She realised what she was doing.
"Oh sorry. No but seriously, what did you say?"
"I bought it. Its ours. Mine and yours, Family home. White picket fence etc etc…"
He pulled out a key from his jacket pocket.
"Go take a look. Happy Anniversary babe."
She started to cry. He pulled her into a hug, caressing her back and placing kisses to the top of her head.
"Whats wrong? You not happy? Coz yano…We can sell it and stay at the hotel. Ive spent 6 months decorating it but yano, it'll be alright..Ill get my mon-"
"Oh shut up george." She kissed him softly.
"I love it. I really do."
"Then why are you crying?"
"Because I love you so much. And its our 4 years anniversary today, and I forgot. Im so sorry."
"Is that it? Cal, were gonna have plenty more anniversaries. Just, I dunno, complain later or whatever but its starting to rain and I really wanna show you the inside before we get completely soaked."
"Ok then, show me the way O'Malley."
He took her hand and led her up the garden path to their house. Their perfect House.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------She couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was the most beautiful house she had ever seen. It was decorated exactly how she had planned her dream house. He had chosen the same colours, ornaments, furniture, accessories and everything else that she had mentioned to him over the past 4 years. He lead her into the living room first. The house had solid oak wood floor throughout. It was cosy yet modern, just how she'd wanted it. The living room had a brown leather corner group which was scattered with light cream and orange cushions. There was a large orange rug on the floor and the walls were cream with a brown feature wall just like the one she'd seen in the picture. He's picked out cream and orange accessories which accompanied the room wonderfully. She was proud, but she did kinda think he'd turned a bit gay, he wasn't this good at interior design. Man if he was, he was in the wrong profession.
She ran her fingers over the soft brushed leather sofa.
"So what do you think?"
"Its beautiful. How did you do it?"
"Well erm, I didnt wanna say. I wanted to do it myself but I physically couldn't. Addison sent me the book that you and her made when you visited last summer. I ordered everything I possibly could so that this place looked like them pictures. Then I called in Meredith and izzie. They painted this place and sorted out accessories and stuff. Mark and Derek helped too when they had time to help me assemble furniture and stuff but yeah. I did help. And I did the playroom and nursery all on my own. Im showing you them last though.. And on that note…Lets see the rest."
She let out a deep breath.
"Thank God!"
He looked at her puzzled.
"What?"
"Now I know you not turning gay on me!"
He laughed at the fact she had even thought of it.
"Ha! Nah Cal, believe me, it's all you."
She took his hand as he lead her out of the kitchen and into the dining/family room.
-------------------------
All the rooms were exactly how she wanted them. She couldn't believe he had went to the trouble of getting that book from Addison and actually ordered everything from it. Last to show her was the nursery and playroom. She was still getting over the bathroom, where he'd got a huge spa bath and a jet spa shower big enough for them both. She didn't know what he was thinking but she definitely knew he'd be a getting a some in that bathroom whenever they had a chance.
The playroom was absolutely awesome. He'd done it like a jungle. The walls were painted like a jungle scene but it was also covered in big animals like lions and monkeys hung from the trees.
Fake trees jutted out from the walls and fake long grass hung from the ceiling like vines and grass stuck up from the floor. There was a soft green carpet and the bottom of the walls had a soft sponge layer so the babies wouldn't hurt themselves when the were crawling. There were beanbags and soft toys everywhere, he'd even got a pretend monkey and hung it from one of the trees. At that point, she wished she was the child that was coming into this family.
She stood outside the nursery door. Hand poised on the door knob, she was excited yet nervous. She kind of felt a bit down that she hadn't decorated it herself but she knew he would have done an amazing job… she hoped.
She opened the door and stared in awe at the room before her.3 dark cribs were lined up next to each other against the wall. Each one with the babies names above them in small baby green letters.
The walls were painted a soft cream and the floor was a touch darker than the one downstairs. The cribs were a dark mahogany and had light green and cream soft blankets in them. Also each one had a small teddy in each, with the babies names embroidered to their chests. He's thought it would save arguments when they argued over who's was who's. The middle of the room sported a large circular light cream rug with gren speckles. She would have never thought to do the nursery green, but it looked amazing. There were also 3 wooden changing stations the same wood as the crib. She didn't understand why he's bought three until she looked inside and seen that he'd filled ach with things for the babies. One was full of pink blankets, towels, baby growers, diapers and toiletries etc whereas the other two were filled with blue.
She continued to walk around the room before coming to a large wardrobe. It had 3 sections. Immediatley she knew they had one for each baby. She ran her hand over the array of pinks and blues inside. Everything she had bought was in here. How the hell he'd done it she didn't know. But she was absolutely amazed.
George had stood at the door and watched her look round the nursery for nearly 20 minutes. She hadn't said anything yet. HE didn't know whether it was a good or bad sign, but he kept quiet.
"George.."
"yeah..?"
"Do you know how much I love you right now?"
"So you like it then huh?"
He smiled and walked over to her. He sat in front of the rocking chair in front of the window.
"Come sit here."
She walked over and sat on his knee.
"look at that view.."
"Yeah I know.."
He felt her relax into his arms.
"I love it here george. Seriously, we are never moving. "
"Haha, ok then babe. Whatever you say. But yano, theres 6 bedroom that need filled, were only gonna need 4. So we need at least 2 more kids. And no way am I going to see dr.snippy. So you better keep me off you if you don't want to move. This pregnancy thing suits you way to well."
He leaned in and kissed her.
She laughed at him. But inside her heart ached with love. She couldn't believe that he wanted more kids. She secretly did but she never said anything.
"SO your wanting me to sacrifice my vagina so you can have more children aye?"
"something like that."
"Well, you better start working out because yano, we'll need to practice if your wanting more…"
She quirked her eyebrow at him before beginning to unbutton his shirt.
"Oh believe me..I don't need to work out. Im perfectly fine.."
He laughed and carried her into their bedroom. Their first night in their new house was certainly going to be eventful.
