Chapter 13
When the front door of Jaimie's house opened, Arizona walked right on in and placed her crutches and overnight bag on the polished wood floor. Grabbing the lapels of Jaimie's white polo shirt, she hauled her towards her lips. "I love you so much. Close the door and take me to bed," she throatily directed.
"Yes ma'am," shot back Jaimie while pushed the door shut with her bare foot. Her mouth was immediately besieged by Arizona's and the heated kissing began. Without breaking contact, Arizona willingly followed as Jaimie ushered her blindly down the hallway to the last room on the right.
Arizona smelt a floral fragrance and let go. Opening her eyes, she noted the bedroom was decorated with numerous lit candles and bathed in a warm glow. The cover on the king size bed had been turned down and there was an instrumental melody filtering through the air. The setting took her breath away and she held back the tears threatening to fall.
Jaimie placed a hand on Arizona's shoulder, "This is the part where we slow things down and take our time."
There was a slight nod, "I agreed and this is a really nice atmosphere you've created."
"I'm all for romance sweetheart and I want our first time together to be memorable."
"I do too," replied Arizona while moving in closer. "I am so ready for you."
Gulping loudly, Jaimie just grinned, "As I am for you and please tell me if I do something you don't like."
"The same goes for you," returned Arizona as she took hold of the hem of Jaimie's shirt. "I want to see all of you."
"Be my guest," offered Jaimie while reaching for Arizona's blue blouse. "I'm glad you didn't wear something with buttons."
"I came prepared, just like you."
Lifting up the top, Jaimie pulled it over her girlfriend's head and groaned when two blue lace adorned breasts were revealed, "I really do like your boobs."
Removing Jaimie's shirt, Arizona licked her bottom lip and stared, "Oh, yours are marvellous."
Stretching around behind Arizona, Jaimie unclasped the bra and pulled the straps over her shoulders, "You are beautiful Arizona."
Doing likewise, Arizona gasped as a thirty four inch B cupped bosom remained firm once their constraints were gone, "You are stunning." She tentatively drew an index finger along the six inch raised scar running between the centre of Jaimie's chest bone and navel, "I love you, all of you."
Keeping herself from flinching, Jaimie relaxed into the touch and savoured the tenderness being bequeathed upon her flesh, "I love you more and your touch is super soft." Her comment was reinforced by the presence of goose bumps popping up all over her body.
"I'm glad you approve," mentioned Arizona as she walked around Jaimie and applied the same inspection to the corresponding blemish along Jaimie's spine. "I'm proud of your service and sacrifice to this country."
A shiver ran down the length of Jaimie's tanned skin and Arizona bent down to kiss the permanent reminder of her loss. "Thank you sweetheart," escaped from Jaimie's quivering lips.
Straightening up, Arizona reached to the front and popped the press stud of Jaimie's denim shorts. She continued to deliver tiny, moist pecks to the expanse of back on display then unzipped the fly.
Jaimie remained perfectly still as her pants slid downwards and over her backside. Their journey ended at her feet and she stepped out of them. There was a groan from behind her and she issued one of her own when nimble fingers gripped the waistband of her French cut black underpants.
Leaving a trail of kisses along the curve of Jaimie's firm left buttock, Arizona took her time in lowering the undergarment. Once Jaimie kicked it aside, Arizona ran her two hands over unyielding cheeks and smooched an imaginary line across broad shoulders.
"Bloody hell woman, you feel wonderful," muttered Jaimie.
"So do you," countered Arizona while returning to the front. Her eyes roamed over rigid, small nipples and pebbled areola before inching downwards to rippled abdominal muscles and slim hips. Her gaze was drawn to the hairless mons pubis and she was tempted to drop to the floor and devour the pearl hidden within the glistening folds. Regaining her composure, her line of sight travelled further south and took in the four inch scar running vertically along the chiselled left thigh. Ignoring the increasing condensation between her labia, she continued her appraisal and gawked at the toned calves. Her heart beat faster and she thought a heart attack was imminent when Jaimie stepping in and made light work of her black jeans and soaked panties.
As the apparel reached Arizona's ankles, she slipped them off then her boots followed and gave Jaimie an unobstructed path to disposing of the last item of clothing.
Taking up the offer, Jaimie knelt and removed Arizona's socks. As she stood, she inhaled deeply, "I can smell your arousal and that is bloody intoxicating."
"It's all your doing and completely yours," Arizona boldly noted.
Green eyes ghosted over a toned stomach, rounded hips, muscled thighs and a small, close cropped tuft of blonde hair positioned above the crease of Arizona's vulva. Tears formed behind her eyeballs and she embraced Arizona, "Can I remove your prosthetic or do you want to keep it on?"
Moved by the emotion shown and the question, Arizona answered, "It can come off. Are you sure it doesn't bother you?"
In reply, Jaimie knelt again and carefully released the suction of the artificial limb then slipped it from the socket. Placing it beside a nearby chest of drawers, she returned to her previous position and removed the socking. Jaimie found purchase with Arizona's hips and lovingly kissed the scar along the stump edge.
Placing her hands on top of black hair, Arizona found her balance and proceeded to weep, "No one has ever done that before, thank you."
"It's a part of who you are darling and I intend on kissing every inch of you."
"Oh god," whimpered Arizona as Jaimie proceeded to make good on her promise. She was a quavering mess by the time she was gently lowered onto the bed and Jaimie settled on her right.
Jaimie reached out and cupped Arizona's left breast then seized waiting lips. An arm wrapped around her shoulder and she began to offer reverence upon the pert mound in her palm.
Losing herself to the touch, Arizona drifted into another stratosphere and by the time Jaimie ended the kiss, she was halfway to dementia when talented lips lowered onto her erect nipple. "Yes," she panted out as more dampness collected around her centre. Her right hand gripped Jaimie's scapula and nails dug into sculpted skin. Her hips rose in a vain attempt to find contact and eventual release, but her lover was having none of that. Instead, Jaimie continued to provoke wave after wave of pleasure with her lips, tongue and teeth.
Just when Arizona felt an orgasm reaching its peak, Jaimie rose up and attacked her mouth yet again. Ten minutes passed and Jaimie renewed her assault on Arizona's right breast. Once more, she brought her girlfriend to the top; only to cease and return to a passionate kiss.
Moments later Jaimie withdrew and smiled down at Arizona, "I love you with all my heart."
"I love you too," Arizona returned before Jaimie moved off the mattress and picked a spare pillow from a nearby armchair.
Walking to the other side of the bed, she carefully lifted Arizona's residual limb and slipped the cushion underneath. She knelt on the bed then crawled over and in between Arizona's thighs.
Arizona ran fingers through Jaimie's hair and held her eyes, "Thank you."
With a devilish grin, Jaimie quipped, "I plan on being here for a while and don't want you to be uncomfortable."
"Good grief," gulped down Arizona.
Moving up slightly, Jaimie pressed her lips to Arizona's belly button and lazily rimmed the puckered surface. She moaned gutturally when her lover surged into her chest. Adjusting a fraction, her right breast pushed against Arizona's extended clitoris and surrounding wetness.
"Jaimie, oh god yes," mumbled Arizona, finally receiving pressure against her aching core. Her hips leisurely pumped upwards as Jaimie's kisses continued to tease her navel. Her fingers tightened around raven locks as her climax built up momentum and her head began to swoon when a palm encapsulated her right breast.
Sixty seconds later she fell into a chasm of delight and her hands dropped to her sides, "That was awesome."
"I'm not done yet," retorted Jaimie while holding onto Arizona's body as spasms invaded it.
"Lucky me."
"Oh no, I'm the fortunate one," returned Jaimie as she rose up and shuffled down. Her lips rested above the tiny thatch of hair and Arizona shook with anticipation.
Soft kisses befell the manicured sod and hands swiftly grabbed for black tresses.
There was a fleeting giggle from Jaimie before she concentrated on the collection of receptive nerves hidden within distended folds.
Arizona jolted when Jaimie took her clitoris between her lips and slowly pushed back the hooded skin. She was no better when Jaimie introduced her tongue to the exposed tip.
"Shit honey, that feels amazing," Arizona gasped out.
Resting her hands on Arizona's hips, Jaimie pushed them down every time they rose and met her strokes. Arizona held off valiantly for over ten minutes before succumbing to the relentless and fastidious actions. Her body tensed then let go and she barely had time to come down from her natural high before another orgasm commenced its ascent due to Jamie lapping up evidence of the last.
With her hips thrusting once again to the rhythm of Jaimie's swipes and meticulous suckles, Arizona tumbled into a whirlpool of ecstasy prior to collapsing back onto the mattress. Thinking her euphoria was over, she suddenly knew different when two, long and strong digits slowly rimmed her opening. Finding some strength, she sat up and found Jaimie staring at her with pleading eyes. Realising her lover was asking for permission, a near desirous Arizona nodded.
Her assent was acknowledged with a dimpled grin and she groaned from deep within when fingers penetrated her. Yet again, her hips met the cadence of the strokes and she flexed her inner muscles around the welcomed intruders.
"You feel so good," declared Jaimie, maintaining eye contact.
"I'm lost for words about how you make me feel and oh god … right there," replied Arizona as Jaimie hit the spongy interior dome and send a bolt of pleasure through her senses. "Oh yes baby, don't stop."
Smiling broader, Jaimie quickened her pace and every second push passed over the Gräfenberg Spot.
Enjoying the sensations saturating her body, Arizona pleaded, "Don't make me come too fast honey. You feel too amazing."
"Anything for you sweetheart and I like the way you talk to me."
"And I like what you are doing."
Bearing down some time later, Arizona's eyes rolled back and she screamed, "Now Jaimie, I'm coming."
Spurred on, Jaimie took the still swollen clitoris into her mouth and sucked. It pushed Arizona over the brink and she clutched around Jaimie's fingers. Tiny tremors shook her frame and Jaimie held her steadfastly.
"That's it sweetheart, ride it out. Bloody hell you are so beautiful Arizona," coaxed an overcome Jaimie.
Not able to throw two words together to form a sentence, Arizona collapsed backwards and attempted to draw oxygen into her heaving lungs.
As she settled, Jaimie made her way up the mattress and nuzzled into Arizona's neck. "I adore you," she uttered while draping an arm over her girlfriend's chest.
"I love you and wow, you were brilliant."
"You had a lot to do with it Arizona."
"Mmm, thank you and as soon as I have feeling back in my extremities, it's your turn."
"Take your time; I can wait. I kind of snuck an orgasm out when you came the first time."
"Crap, I missed it."
Tittering, Jaimie pecked Arizona on the cheek, "You won't miss the next one I promise."
"I hope not and you are extremely gentle."
"I'm not into rough stuff, although the occasional bout up against a door or wall is fine."
"I'm the same."
"I enjoyed your reactions and words."
"I did too baby," giggled Arizona. "That was a no brainer."
Jaimie kissed along Arizona's jaw line, "I want you."
"I'm all yours Jaimie," replied Arizona as she got up onto her right elbow. "Lie down and let me love you."
"Yes please," submitted Jaimie while rolling onto her back.
Arizona covered her girlfriend's mouth with hers and groaned when she tasted herself. The kiss continued while a hand caressed Jaimie's throat. There were several moans before Arizona moved on top of her lover's body.
Ending the kiss, Arizona pecked along Jaimie's left clavicle before finding her way to a rosy, protruding nipple. She wasted no time in bringing her other hand into play by cradling the left breast. Dexterous fingers squeezed, flicked and pulled while Arizona's tongue swirled around the right teat.
"That's it sweetheart," encouraged a heady Jaimie. "I like that."
Satisfied with the verbal response, Arizona kept a steady pace until she felt the torso underneath her shudder several times. Popping the nipple from her lips, she looked up, "That was quiet."
A dazzling smile met her words, "I was too bloody busy holding on."
Grinning, Arizona inched downward and settled between strong thighs, "You smell divine honey."
Before Jaimie could answer, Arizona smothered her vulva with a warm mouth and gathered up the rigid clitoris on offer. Circular motions with her tongue were added and Jaimie gripped the sheet, turning her knuckles white. Slim hips pistoned to the tempo of Arizona's manoeuvres, and it wasn't long before her body shook again and her essence cover Arizona's lips.
The climax didn't halt Arizona's movements and she quickly brought Jaimie to another release. She stopped once her girlfriend finished trembling.
Moving back up onto Jaimie's chest, Arizona languidly kissed her from some time before admitting, "I ran out of steam, otherwise I would have been still going."
Wrapping her arms around her lover, Jaimie emitted the cutest of giggles that captured Arizona's heart, "I'm not complaining sweetheart. I am more than fulfilled. We both had busy days and it was bound to catch up to us. How about I order some dinner?"
"Pizza?"
"It's your favourite, right?'
"It's my go to food."
Stretching for the phone on the bedside table, Jaimie called a local restaurant. "It will be here in twenty. Do you want to have a shower?"
Arizona pecked Jaimie's chin, "Yes please?"
"I'll just grab your bag and crutches."
"Thank you and I like to sleep in the nude except when I have Sofia."
Lifting up, Jaimie kissed her before saying, "I look forward to that experience and I'm big on morning glories."
Chuckling, Arizona confessed, "Anytime is a good time for me."
"Score!" cheered Jaimie while rolling Arizona onto her back. "I'll be right back and by the way, you rock in bed."
"I'm grateful I wasn't a dud."
"Far from it sweetheart." Jaimie threw over her shoulder with a rich chuckle.
Sitting up, Arizona scooted to the edge of the bed and groaned when Jaimie returned, "Damn, you are hot."
"So are you and do you think you will be all right in the shower?"
"I'll be fine as long as I can hold onto you for balance."
"There's a ledge you can sit on if you get tired and I'll have a handrail fitted A-SAP."
"Okay and how big is the cubicle?"
Black eyebrows arched, "It's double normal size, why? Oh hang on, yes it's large enough for comfortable sex."
"There are those two great minds thinking alike again."
"You're a funny woman Robbins."
"I'm a riot, let's move."
"I kind of like your bossy side."
Giggling, Arizona revealed more about herself, "I used to have an issue with authority. If I was spoken to in a negative manner or challenged, I would cry. I've overcome it over the past few years."
Offering Arizona the crutches, Jaimie stood to the side, "You've negotiated your way through many obstacles. You're an incredibly strong willed and determined woman."
Making her way into the open spaced ensuite, Arizona's heart pumped a little faster and her stomach tightened, "Thank you, but I used to be a runner. When faced with a difficult situation I used to take off and not look back. I was never one for confrontation, but I learnt to control my natural desire to flee as I matured. I think all the crap that I've endured over the years has made me a better person."
Turning on the taps and adjusting the water temperature, Jaimie turned to her girlfriend, "Well I happen to be totally in love with the woman you are."
"My father taught me to be a good man in a storm and I dropped the ball with Callie, but I believe I can be that person now."
"I think so too," agreed Jaimie while taking the crutches and offering her right shoulder. "I like how open you are with me."
"I like that about you too and I'm glad you don't have to step up into the shower," remarked Arizona of the design.
"All the bathrooms are user friendly. Luke and I did all the work when remodelling. I remember what a pain in the arse it used to be using the shower at mum and dad's while I was recovering.
Hopping under the warm jets of water, Arizona groaned when Jaimie draped her arms around her waist from behind and planted a soft kiss on her left shoulder. "You and your brother are extremely handy," she noted.
"Our biological father taught us carpentry from an early age."
"I spoke with Teddy the other day and she is visiting again for Sofia's birthday."
"She is certainly racking up the frequent flyer points."
"Teddy mentioned Luke is flying in this weekend."
"The man is besotted and she is all he talks about."
"She's no better," replied Arizona while reaching for the soap gel and washcloth.
"Let me," suggested Jaimie.
Passing over the items, Arizona enjoyed the sensual cleansing and leisurely love making that ensued.

Tuesday 17th May
As the sun's rays made their way through the window blinds, Arizona felt their warmth upon her face and stirred awake. A loud sigh of contentment escaped past her lips and she grinned when Jaimie opened her eyes.
Gliding a hand over Arizona's bare shoulder, Jaimie purred, "Good morning beautiful."
Arizona gently placed the palm of her hand against Jaimie's cheek, "Yes it is a good morning Jaimie and thank you for last night. I'm actually a little tight in some muscles from the workout you put me through."
A radiant smile formed on Jaimie's lips, "I'll take that compliment and refrain from adding to your soreness. How about we use the hot tub downstairs and loosen up before work?"
Blue eyes shone, "That sounds heavenly and then I can make you breakfast."
"You're on sweetheart and I really enjoyed sleeping with you."
"Back at you and your bed is super comfortable."
"It certainly is with you in it."
"Mmm, I love you."
"I love you and let's make a move before I am forced to attack your luscious lips."
"Too late," retorted Arizona before pulling Jaimie in closer and kissing her fierily.
-o-
"Do you want to ride in with me?" inquired Arizona while placing the last of the dried dishes into the appropriate cupboard.
"I'd like that and if I get caught late again, I can cab it home. How's your schedule today?"
"I'll be finished by four. I have Sofia tonight and Emma from next door is having a sleepover."
Embracing Arizona, Jaimie pecked the nape of her neck, "I like your hair up in braids and you are a terrific mother."
"You are going to give me a big head with all these accolades honey and I think you look gorgeous with your highset ponytail."
"Thanks and you deserve compliments. I have dinner with my parents tonight."
"Pass on my best please."
"I will and are you ready to leave?"
Rotating, Arizona's dimples deepened, "I am totally energised and raring to go."
Giggling for a brief moment, Jaimie pointed out, "Sex gets me that way too and I'm absolutely bewitched by you."
In replay, Arizona covered her lips and kissed her to the nth degree of stupid.
-o-
Two hours later Arizona ambled into the Pit for a consult and a grinning April greeted with while passing over a tablet, "Good morning Doctor Robbins it's a beautiful day; bed ten."
Accepting the computerised chart, Arizona would have had to be blind to not notice the skip in April's step and the exhilaration in her voice as they travelled down the corridor, "Good morning to you Doctor Kepner and you are very chirpy."
"Life is wonderful. My baby is developing right on schedule and my ex-husband has stopped being a douche and even told his mother to cease interfering in his life. She suggested he hire a lawyer and sue me for not disclosing the pregnancy before he signed the divorce papers."
Blue eyes practically sprang from Arizona's head, "What the hell?"
"The great Catherine Avery advised Jackson to seek legal counsel and partition for sole custody."
Anger rose swiftly in the other woman, "Crap, she has gone too far and it's none of her freaking business. It is between you and Jackson."
"Luckily Jackson agreed and he told her to back off then spoke to me last night while I was getting in my car. He said things had gotten out of hand and he was tired of fighting. He couldn't believe he had sunk so low as to contemplate his mother's suggestion. It was a wakeup call for him and he apologised for treating me so harshly. I ended up inviting him back to the apartment and we discussed our feelings
Hope filled Arizona's heart; she knew how important an amicable relationship with her ex was to April, "So you guys are talking?"
"We still have some ways to go, but yes, we are communicating like two adults instead of children. Jackson supports my decision to raise our child on my own, but would like to share custody on terms that are suitable to me."
"That's fantastic news and we better get to work. What do you have for me?"
Approaching the bed, April presented the case while anxious parents looked on, "Jonas Cobb, seven years of age complained of lower abdo pain at breakfast time. Loss of appetite and no bowel movements since yesterday morning. Stomach is rigid and we are waiting for the portable CT to confirm diagnosis."
Examining the aforementioned area, Arizona noticed the grimace on the patient's face, "Hello Jonas, my name is Arizona and I am a Doctor. Does that hurt when I press?"
"Yes," he replied behind a trembling bottom lip.
Turning slightly, Arizona addressed the parents, "Mister and missus Cobb, I am Doctor Robbins, Head of Paediatrics and I'm fairly certain your son has a blockage to his bowel, but a CT will confirm that for us. Jonas will require surgery as soon as possible, so I am going to take him upstairs for a scan rather than wait for the portable device. I'll speak to you once I have a result. I know this is a stressful time for you both, but Jonas is in good hands. Doctor Kepner will show you to the waiting area."
Blond Isaac Cobb shook her hand, "Thank you Doctor."
Unlocking the wheels of the bed, Arizona looked to the young boy, "We are going for a little ride to see what is going on in your tummy."
"Okay, can I have ice cream later?"
A huge grin graced Arizona's features, "We serve magic ice cream up on the Children's Ward and you can have as much as you like once you take a little nap while Doctor Kepner and I fix you up."
Excitement met her words, "Goodie, I love chocolate the best."
"Wow, so do I. Doctor Kepner, please organise an OR and scrub in."
"Yes ma'am."
-o-
Arizona was making her way out of OR 4 with April by her side when the redhead asked, "What's got you so happy?"
"Jaimie," came the simple reply.
April practically bounced up and down on the spot, "Oh my god, you guys finally had sex?"
Unable to keep a lid on her cheerfulness, Arizona blurted out, "Yes and it was freaking awesome. My girlfriend is very accomplished and we declared our love for one another beforehand."
Standing still, April hugged her, "I'm so pleased for you and I'd like to be your Maid of Honour."
Roaring with laughter, Arizona pulled out of the clinch, "Hey now, don't get ahead of yourself."
April rolled her eyes, "Come on; don't tell me you haven't thought about it?"
"Honestly, I haven't. I've just been enjoying the incredible journey to where we are now."
"I haven't seen you sparkle like this for a long time, so congrats."
"Thank you and I've booked you in for an ultrasound at one."
Shaking her head, April grinned, "Whoa, you kind of slipped that information right in there."
"I take my job as baby whisperer very seriously and at sixteen weeks, you are due."
"You certainly do and I appreciate you keeping up with my schedule."
"You can buy me a milkshake in gratitude."
"You're on and you can tell me all about last night."
Trying not to smirk, Arizona quipped, "I don't kiss and tell, you know that."
Clearing her throat, April pointed out, "Uhm, you just told me she was awesome and accomplished."
"And that is all you are going to get."
"I'll prise it out of you."
"Not a chance or I'll ask you about losing your virginity."
Horror befell April's face, "You wouldn't?"
"I will if you push me."
Tossing her hands up in mock surrender, April conceded, "Okay, no sex talk; totally off the topic list."
Giggling, Arizona looped her arm around the inside of April's elbow, "Smart move Kepner."

Friday 20th May
Picking up her ringing cell phone from her office desk, Arizona smiled at the caller ID, "Hey honey."
"Hello there Doctor Sexy."
"Behave," demurred Arizona with a titter and feigned scolding.
Jaimie scoffed at the direction, "I was only stating a fact and not initiating phone sex."
"Well thank you Doctor Magic Hands."
"Ooh, now who is being a tease?"
"I was only telling the truth, just like you. Actually, I am still buzzing from your wakeup love making this morning."
There was an audible exhale on from the other end, "It was great, wasn't it?"
"It most certainly was and did you call for a specific reason other than to torment me?"
"I actually called to invite you to dinner and dancing at the club."
Arizona's heart fluttered, "I graciously accept."
"Beauty and I'll pick you up at seven thirty."
"I'll be ready and I truly do like our date nights."
"I do too sweetheart. I hate to cut this short, but I have to get to the ambo bay Arizona, talk to you later."
"Bye honey." Returning the phone to the table, Arizona looked up to find Luke standing in the doorway. Getting up, she moved towards her visitor, "Hello, this is a nice surprise."
"Hi Arizona, I hope I'm not disturbing you?" replied Luke while embracing her.
"No. I'm just finishing up some charts before my first surgery. What can I do for you?"
"I need your help?"
Gesturing to the leather couch, Arizona inquired, "Has this anything to do with Teddy's upcoming birthday?"
Sitting down, Luke was all smiles, "It's two weeks away and I'm bloody clueless for a gift. Being her best friend, I was hoping you could toss me a couple of ideas."
Arizona responded without hesitation, "Teddy likes jewellery and you can never go wrong with diamonds."
"What about a necklace, I noticed she doesn't wear one?"
"Excellent choice Luke, just keep it a simple design and not gaudy. She's not into large or loud."
"Got it and thanks for the invite to Sofia's party."
"You are welcome and she is very taken with you."
"It's the accent and dimples Doc."
"I agree and have an awesome time in DC."
"I'm sure I will and thanks again for your help."
Standing, Arizona was all smiles, "Not a problem and I'll walk you out."
"Cheers."

Thursday 26th May
Sofia was pointing to two adolescent chimpanzees chasing each other when Callie sidled up to Arizona, "Our kid is having a blast."
"Yes she is and this was a good idea to have the party here."
"I do have them on occasion."
Turning her attention to Callie, Arizona asked, "What happened with Penny not showing?"
"She flew out for New York this morning instead of Sunday. She'll be gone for two weeks while trying to find a place to live."
Arizona noticed a flash of pain cover Callie's eyes, "Ouch, that's got to hurt?"
"It does and we decided to see how the distance goes before having a serious discussion about our future."
"Good luck Callie. I remember how hard it was for you when I went to Malawi."
"Yes, but you returned after three months. Penny is focused on her career and I have to accept we are not on the same page. I'm established and she isn't. This is her time to find her place and she still needs to select a speciality. At the moment, it's all about the work for her while I'm all for enjoying the fruits of my hard labour and doing it on my own."
Blue eyes softened as they locked onto brown, "I'm sorry you haven't worked it out yet."
Shrugging her shoulders, Callie's voice faltered, "The other night Penny said she loved me and I thanked her. What's that about?"
"Obviously you're not there yet."
Nodding her head, Callie confessed, "I feel like something is missing in our relationship."
"Are you having doubts?"
"Yes and the biggest issue is trust. Penny doesn't ask me about things, she just does it. I had no idea she was leaving early until I went to pick her up and found her packing a suitcase. She informed me she had changed her flight and that was all she had to say. She was out the door and in a taxi before I had time to react. I called her and it went straight to voice mail."
"Oh Cal, I really do feel for you."
"Thanks and it helps being able to talk to you even though you said you didn't want to be involved."
Arizona patted Callie on the shoulder and smiled, "I have mellowed a little since I told you that and I'll always try to be here for you and don't look now but Teddy has a chimp exposing himself to her."
"Too funny and I see April is rounding up the children and redirected their attention to the playful twosome."
Giggling louder, Arizona pointed, "Luke is no help; he is too busy laughing."
"He's a really nice guy," noted Callie.
"Yes, I like him a lot."
"Sofia told me about the planned trip to the beach."
"It should be a lot of fun and Jaimie invited Teddy and Luke to join us last night when she arrived."
"That's great and Sofia will enjoy herself, she loves the water."
"She takes after you and do you have plans this weekend?"
"Nothing solid, I was thinking about going to see my parents and catching some Miami sunshine."
"Sound like a good option and a great opportunity for you to have a serious conversation with your mother."
"It's long overdue and I'll make a final decision after work tomorrow. I've got a three o'clock finish with plenty of time to make my mind up."
"Let me know so Sofia can call you to say goodnight."
"I will."
"Let's go join the children."
"Okay."
-o-
An excited Sofia was telling Jaimie all about the zoo in between mouthful of dinner, "The monkey peed at Auntie Teddy. She squealed and Luke laughed."
"Lucky for her the chimp was behind a barrier," pointed out Jaimie with giggle.
"Yeah, she's funny. Me had cake and ice cream and lots of presents. Thank you for the giraffe, me love her."
"You are welcome and have you given her a name yet?"
"Me call her Rosie."
"That's a terrific name Sofia."
"You read to me later pwease?"
"Of course I will and I'm happy you had a fun day."
Raising her arms, Sofia celebrated, "Yay, me five now and go to preschool soon."
Ruffling the youngster's hair, Jaimie replied, "Wow, you're such a big girl."
Scrunching up her face, Sofia asked, "How old you?"
"I'm thirty two."
"Mama thirty six. You love her?"
"I certainly do."
Sofia turned to her mother, "Mama, you love Jaimie?"
"I love her heaps, just like you."
The child wasn't done, "You loves me Jaimie?"
"I do sweetie, lots and lots."
With a satisfied nod, Sofia declared, "Me love you, mama too."
Arizona grinned at Jaimie and her heart soared, "There's a lot of love going around this table."
"There will be some in the bedroom later," teased Jaimie with a smirk.
"Me packed for beach," announced Sofia while putting down her fork. "Dessert mama?"
"How will you fit any more food in after cake and ice cream today?"
"Me big girl mama and have hollow legs."
Both Arizona and Jaimie laughed at the answer and the blonde inquired, "Who told you that?"
"Mommy did. Me love her, she no come to beach?"
"No, not this time Little Miss."
"Oh."
Jaimie was staring at Arizona when she asked, "Would you like her to be there Sofia?"
"Yes pwease, she love the beach."
"I'll phone her okay?"
"Thank you, you good."
Standing, Jaimie placed the call.
"Hey Jaimie," responded Callie after two rings.
"Hi. Arizona and I were wondering if you'd like to hang out with us for the weekend. Sofia would like it if you could join us at Westport."
There was a moment's silence before Callie reacted, "Seriously?"
"Yes and the place where we're staying at has three large bedrooms and you could bunk in with Sofia."
"Sounds great and thanks for thinking of me."
"You are welcome and we'll pick you up outside your apartment at four tomorrow."
"I'll be ready and thanks again."
"No problem, bye."
"Goodnight."
Returning to the dining table, Jaimie announced, "Your mommy is coming to the beach Sofia."
"Yay, me so happy."
Arizona got up and hugged Jaimie, "I love you and that was a sweet gesture."
"I love you too and Sofia and I will do the dishes seems you cooked."
"You have a deal."

Arizona was already in bed when Jaimie exited the bathroom wearing black cotton boxers and an oversized Detroit Lions tee-shirt. "You ready for sleep?" inquired Arizona as she tossed back the covers.
An enormous grin appeared, "Not bloody likely. I plan on devouring my amazing girlfriend who also happens to be a yummy mummy."
Giggling at the words, Arizona quickly discarded her purple camisole and matching sleep shorts, "I won't need these then."
"No you won't and wow, you take my breath away Arizona." Stripping off her own sleepwear, Jaimie sauntered over to the bed and eased onto the mattress, "I missed you today at lunch. I ended up eating with Maggie and Nathan and didn't hear a word they said. I was too busy daydreaming about you."
"I missed you too," commented Arizona as Jaimie positioned herself in the middle of the bed.
Reaching for Arizona, Jaimie directed her, "Come here and sit in front of me with your thighs on either side of my hips."
Doing so, Arizona felt a surge of wetness pool between her labia, "Oh, I like where you are going."
"I do also. I want to kiss you as we make love."
Adjusting herself, Arizona pushed her centre plush against Jaimie's, "God, you are soaked."
"You can talk," countered Jaimie prior to draping her arms around Arizona's waist. "You feel really good after a hard day at the hospital."
Beginning a slow grind, Arizona sucked on her bottom lip, "Mmm, so hot baby."
Removing her right hand, Jaimie brought it between their torsos and gently cupped Arizona's left breast, "I have wanted to touch you since you opened the door to me."
Losing herself rapidly to the pressure being bestowed upon her clitoris, Arizona mumbled, "Oh me too and I won't take long. I've been on edge all day."
Thrusting in time with her lover, Jaimie lowered her lips to Arizona's and tenderly tweaked an erect nipple between her middle and index fingers. A loud moan followed from Arizona as she held onto Jaimie's hips for better stability. She nearly came unravelled when a hand rested on her left thigh and fingers softly kneaded the taut muscle. Since the plane crash, no one but Callie had included her stump during sex. It was avoided at all costs by subsequent lovers and Arizona experienced a freedom wash over her. The love and consideration Jaimie gave her was something she's not felt since Callie and at that moment; she lost herself to unconditional love. There was a shift in her emotions concerning Jaimie and tears pricked the back of her eyeballs. Her thoughts faded away minutes later as her climax approached its apex then her body tensed with release. Her scream of delight was captured by Jaimie's mouth and she cried tears of joy when her girlfriend followed her into oblivion seconds later.

Arizona ended the kiss four minutes later and leaned back to gaze into tear filled green orbs. "I've never felt so close to anyone before," she admitted before brushing errant hair off Jaimie's face.
"I can't find the words to describe how I feel about you, so I won't try."
Arizona coyly tilted her head to the side, "Me either; want to go again?"
"You bet I do, but this time I want to look at you as you come."
Smiling with a full scale dimple assault, Arizona retorted, "Great idea honey and I love this talking business."
Jaimie repositioned her right hand to the rim of Arizona's residual thigh and caressed, "I love every inch of you."
Arizona smugly replied, "Why yes you do and I couldn't be happier."
Bringing her left hand down, Jaimie winked, "I'm up for a challenge." Her long fingers moved over Arizona's still clitoris, "Are you?"
"Oh yes," whimpered Arizona in answer.
With delicate strokes, Jaimie glided up and down the shaft while locking onto Arizona's eyes, "How does that feel?"
"Really good honey."
"What else would you like?"
"Pull my nipple; I really like it when you do that."
"Gladly," returned Jaimie as her right hand complied.
"Ah, so nice," murmured Arizona as she pressed into the contact and drove her hips up and down.
"I love touching you Arizona; I get off on it darling."
"You're very talented and I enjoy the way you make me feel."
"It's all about loving you."
Tumbling into an eddy of pleasure, Arizona's voice hitched, "You do an amazing job. Pinch my other nipple baby."
Carrying out the instruction, Jaimie moaned at the extra moisture coating her fingers.
"Oh dear god, yes baby," pleaded Arizona in a higher pitch.
"I love how wet you become."
Sucking on her bottom lips, Arizona struggled to form words, "It's all because of you."
"You're close, aren't you beautiful?"
"Yes, so close."
"Let me see you come sweetheart," coaxed Jaimie before increasing the force of her strokes.
"Yes … yes … oh god, love you," yelled Arizona as her eyes rolled back in their sockets and her climax gripped her and took control.
Unable to hold back any longer, Jaimie grabbed Arizona's right hand and placed it over her saturated mound, "Finish me off darling; I'm almost there."
Fighting her way through her orgasmic fog, Arizona grinned and pinched the protruding, damp clitoris hidden under the puffy folds of flesh, "Will that do it for you honey?"
"Grrr, yes my love, just like that."
Adding a circular swipe to her actions, Arizona squeezed again and Jaimie collapsed forward causing Arizona to fall backwards. Running her hands along Jaimie's spinal column, Arizona probed, "Your little growl was so cute. Can you handle more?"
Lifting her head, dazed green pools focused on blue, "Yes and I have a feeling you have something in mind."
"I want to taste you and feel you in my mouth."
"Oh bloody hell, me too." Prising herself off Arizona, Jaimie turned around and lowered herself onto eager lips. She barely had time to place her lips upon the glistening core under her when Arizona hungrily feasted on her.
