Arizona was sitting on the porch watching Callie and Sofia kick a soccer ball around the back yard. She had been feeling better and didn't like to be cooped up in the house when the weather was nice. They didn't have many sunny days so they were all enjoying it. She was cheering and clapping. After a while Callie came up to join her on the porch "She is wearing me out."
Arizona laughed "She has endless energy."
Callie smiled "Yes she does."
Arizona asked "How are you feeling?"
Callie smiled sheepishly "I'm fine. I won't be drinking like that for a while. I forgot what going out with Meredith was like. Thank you for making me go. I didn't realize that I needed that."
Arizona replied "Callie its fine, you shouldn't be cooped up here with your ex-wife. I mean I'm sure I could round up other people to help or hire a nurse."
Callie looked hurt "Arizona what are you saying? You don't want me here?"
Arizona shrugged "It's not that, it's just... I don't want to you to feel obligated."
Callie interrupted "Arizona, I don't feel obligated. I want to help you."
Arizona teared up a little and whispered "I don't want to suffocate you."
"What?" Callie said, with no response she asked again "What are you talking about?" And then she remembered that she used those words in therapy so many years ago. "Arizona what brought that on? We were fine yesterday." And then it dawned on her and she mumbled "Kepner." And then started mumbling in Spanish.
Arizona replied "No Callie, it's not like that, I mean she did say something but only because she saw you kiss me, and she brought up... well you know...before. Callie, why did you kiss me?"
Callie looked to Arizona "I don't know, I mean, I know but it just happened and I liked it and I'm sorry if that's not fair to you but it's the truth."
Arizona whispered "I liked it too." She watched Sofia kicking the ball around before she continued "April was just looking out for me. She remembers what it was like before. Don't be mad at her."
Callie thought for a few minutes, first Alex and now April, she needed to do something about this "Arizona was it really that bad? I mean, I know it wasn't easy on you but you seemed fine."
Arizona replied "Well I wasn't fine, but I wasn't going to let you know that."
Callie said "I know I hurt you and I'm sorry, but do you think we can just start over? I mean I know that we have history and we can't forget all that happened but maybe we can just go forward."
Arizona smiled "Yeah?"
Callie grabbed Arizona's hand "Yeah." They sat that way for a few minutes watching Sofia kick the ball around some more until Sofia came running up "I'm hungry."
They stood to go inside and decide to order pizza. Arizona tells Callie to order an extra pizza because Alex and Jo were going to stop by after work. Sofia asked if she could watch television until the pizza got here. She took off running when her mothers agreed. Arizona nervously bit her lip "Um, I asked Alex to come because I want him to shave my head. It's coming out more and more and it looks horrible and I think it would be best if it's just all gone, you know?"
Callie holds Arizona "Sure, if that's what you want." They stayed like that for a while before there was a knock on the door. Sofia runs to open it and is followed by both her mothers. "Can I open it?" She asked. Callie nodded and it was Alex and Jo. "Hey Squirt." Alex said as he high fived Sofia. It was their ritual. "Hi Alex, Hi Jo." She opened the door and let them in.
Arizona greeted her friends "Hey, we ordered pizza. It should be here soon."
Callie offered them drinks and Sofia drug Jo into the living room to watch TV with her. It wasn't long before the pizza arrived and they all started eating. Arizona actually managed to eat a whole slice. After dinner Arizona and Alex went into the bathroom while Callie, Jo and Sofia watched Wheel of Fortune. Callie, once again frustrated that Sofia guessed the puzzles before her. Jo even got one and Callie was showing her frustration when Jo said "Well, to be fair I saw this same show in a patient's room earlier."
Callie said "What do you mean? This is the first showing?" Eyeing Sofia who looked guilty.
Jo said "This is the west coast showing, the east coast showing is on earlier."
Sofia couldn't contain her giggles as she watched her Mom realize that she had been had. "Sofia Robbin Sloan-Torres" Callie burst out along with a slew of Spanish. Sofia shrieked and laughed while Jo looked confused. Arizona and Alex walked in to see what the fuss was about and Callie said "Arizona, she's been cheating. She could tell by the look on Arizona's face "You knew too?" Arizona and Sofia started laughing harder and Callie pouted. Alex asked "What did you do Squirt?"
Callie said "They've been watching the east coast feed of Wheel of Fortune and then guessing all the answers before me when we watch the west coast feed."
Alex and Jo both started laughing leaving Callie watching all of them. "It's not funny"
Sofia was hugging Arizona and she looked up "Momma? Your hair?" The laughter in the room stopped and Arizona said "Yeah, Alex cut my hair for me. I'm going to have to find some hats."
Callie said "Well you look beautiful." Coming over and placing an arm around Arizona and a hand on Sofia's shoulder "Doesn't she Sofia?"
Sofia nodded "hugging them both and said "She sure does."
