Thank you so much for all of the reviews! I'm really sorry that I haven't responded to any of them, but I have been so swamped with everything, but I'll try to respond to them soon! Sorry it took so long for me to post this chapter!
"I love you too. How about we head home?"
"That sounds good. I'm exhausted, I just need to have a shower and then snuggle with my baby." Callie said as she looked down at Arizona and winked, getting a huge smile in return.
After the bomb incident, Arizona had been more protective and attentive than she had been before, which was completely understandable to Callie, and she didn't really mind having Arizona hang around her all the time.
It was a few weeks later and Callie and Arizona had both gotten time off so they could go to Aria's graduation, and they would be leaving in the morning to spend a few days with Callie's family before Aria's graduation.
"So what time are we leaving tomorrow, babe?"
"We are leaving here at 9, our flight is at 11."
"Alright." Arizona said as she turned back around to finish packing.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, Calliope. Why would you ask that?"
"Because you're starting to pack my clothes in your suit case and you just shoved like 10 pairs of shoes in there. So what's wrong? Where's your head at?"
"I'm just nervous, that's all. I haven't met your family before."
"They are going to love you, believe me." Callie said as she wrapped her arms around Arizona's waist and rested her head on her girlfriend's shoulder. "There is absolutely nothing to worry about, I promise. I love you, and so will they, plus they are all really excited about meeting you."
"Really? Or are you just saying that?"
"Arizona, of course they're excited. Why else would Aria have invited you? It will be fine, and I'll be with you the whole time, so don't worry about it."
"You're right, but I'm still nervous! I've met parents before, but it's never been this serious. What if I do or say something that's going to make them hate me? You know me, I don't always have a filter when I'm nervous."
"Hey, you're family. They will love you no matter what, just like I do, I promise."
"I'm family?" Arizona asked shyly as tears started to form in her eyes and slowly make their way down her face.
"Of course you are. You aren't getting away from me, no matter what." Callie said sweetly as she kissed away Arizona's tears.
"Hey, babe, you almost ready? The car will be here in 5 minutes."
It was 8:55 and her girlfriend was already frazzled, no matter what Callie had done, Arizona was still nervous about meeting her girlfriend's parents.
"Yeah, I just need to grab all of my stuff."
"I thought you had everything packed already?"
"No, I do, I just need to find all of my bags."
"Bags? Plural? We are going for two weeks; all you need is a nice dress and heels, a few bathing suits and something casual to throw over a bathing suit. That's it."
"I'm talking about my one bag and my carry on, Calliope. And I don't remember where I ended up throwing my purse. Oh, here it is!" Arizona said as she rushed around the living room and found her purse under the coffee table.
"Alright, let's bring all of our stuff downstairs, that way we can leave right when the car gets here."
"Why don't you just call it cab?"
"Because it's not a cab, it's a Mercedes, it's nothing like a cab, really."
"Wait, why did you get us like a fancy car instead of having Mark drive us or something?"
"Well, Stan is my driver and Mark had to work, so I called Stan to come get us."
"What do you mean your driver? Like driver, driver? How did I not know this?"
"Yes, Arizona, 'driver, driver'. And I've never mentioned Stan before, that's why you don't know who he is." Callie said as she waved to Stan who was just pulling up to the curb.
Arizona stood back and watched her girlfriend hug the happy, older man when he got out of the car to put their stuff in the back. Callie happily introduced Arizona to Stan and then they started their journey to the airport.
After going through security rather quickly, the two headed over to gate A4 and as Arizona was about to walk over to sit down, she noticed that Callie was still walking, so she followed after her girlfriend.
"Good morning Miss Torres, the Captain and Co-Captain are already on board and waiting for you and your guest." The flight attendant that was standing at the gate told Callie.
"Mary, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Callie? And this is Arizona, my girlfriend."
"A lot of times apparently, Miss Torres. It's nice to meet you Arizona, I'm Mary."
"Hi Mary, it's nice to meet you too."
"Alright, we'll see you later, Mary. Come on, A, let's board." Callie said as she started heading down the terminal ramp.
"Wait, Calliope. What is going on? I didn't think our flight started boarding for another 10 minutes."
"Well we got here early, so we're boarding early."
"Yeah, but it's not just up to us, there are other passengers, Calliope."
"Not really, Arizona." Callie said as they both made their way onto the tarmac to walk onto a small jet.
"Wait, what?" Arizona asked as she put on the brakes in the middle of the tarmac while she stood there, looking up at the plane.
"Yeah, this is my baby, she's our plane. So why don't we board and then we can leave early?" Callie said as she started guiding Arizona over to the plane's stairs so they could get on board.
As soon as they walked onto the plane, Arizona's jaw dropped. There were multiple seats placed about the cabin, some were facing each other, some were right next to each other, and there were a few pull out couches across from some of the chairs. The tan interior was neat and tidy and there was anything you could ever imagine on board. There was a fully stocked fridge that had clear glass so you could see everything that was in it; there was a microwave and a few flat screens. There were also a few control panels strewn about the cabin.
Callie walked over to one of couches and sat down and took off her shoes, gesturing for Arizona to come over and join her.
"So can I have some details please?"
"Sure, this is a Gulfstream III Private Jet, and she is my baby."
"I thought I was your baby." Arizona pouted as she followed after Callie and took off her shoes and leaned back and started cuddling into Callie.
"You are my baby." Callie said affectionately as she placed a kiss on Arizona's forehead. "But, this is my other baby. She's taken good care of me, she's great for when I need to jet off and have a vacation."
"Care to explain about how you own a plane?"
"Sure, but let me go say hi to the pilots first." Callie said as she kissed Arizona's forehead one more time before she removed her arms from around the blonde and headed over to the cockpit.
Callie did her special knock on the cockpit door and one of the pilots opened the door.
"Hey John, Dave. How are you guys doing?"
"Hi Callie. We're good, how about yourself?"
"I'm doing well, John, thanks for asking. Thanks for taking us today, and remember that you guys are free to take your families on trips and stuff, just make sure you take care of my baby."
"Thanks, Cal. Of course, we will take care of this gorgeous girl. Ready to get movin'?"
"Definitely. Thanks, guys." Callie said as she closed the cockpit door and turned around to go back to her seat and locked eyes with a very smiley Arizona.
"What is that smile for?"
"Just you, you're so sweet to everyone. I love it. And I love you."
"Really? That's a coincidence, because I love you too."
"Alright, so we are now all settled and in the air, so, care to explain?"
"Did I ever happen to mention that I am an heiress?"
"Uh, no. You must have left that part out." Arizona said with a smile on her face, thinking that Callie was joking.
"No, I'm telling the truth. I'm an heiress. Well, Aria and I both are."
"Wait, seriously?"
"Yeah, our dad owns a bunch of companies, right now he's up to a computer company, marketing company, clothing company, a few restaurant chains and a bunch, and I mean a bunch of hotels. He's worked his ass off for years and it paid off, he's always been a really good investor and now he owns these places."
"Wow, that is insane. I don't even know what to say to that."
"Yeah, I normally don't tell people my background. I mean, you've seen my apartment, it's nice, but it's not multi-millionaire status, which is why I love it so much. The only way people would guess is if they saw this plane, or our houses. Or my cars."
"I really like that you don't flaunt it though."
"Yeah, it's just not in my nature. I don't like to wear designer clothes or live in a massive house, or anything like that. I mean, sure I do indulge a little bit with my cars, but not a lot of people know about them and I use them whenever I can, or I'll let close friends use them occasionally."
"Well who knows about all of this?"
"Mark, Addison, and now you."
"Wow. So can I hear about your houses and cars?"
"Well our family has houses all over the world. We have houses in Italy, Spain, France, L.A., and the Hamptons. A lot of those places are where were we have some hotels, or just where we like to vacation. They're my parent's houses, but we are able to use them, of course. This plane is technically my parents, but I love to use her when I have enough vacation time racked up."
"Wow, that is so crazy. I can't even believe this."
"Yeah, it's a little hard to take in. Oh, my cars. Well, you know about my Thunderbird, of course, but I am a car fanatic. It's really bad actually. Well, I drive my Thunderbird daily, but I also have an old Mustang, an old Ford, and an old Ferrari, and I just bought a brand new Porsche. They are all in a parking garage a few minutes from the apartment, I'll go down there after I've had a bad day and pick out a car and just drive somewhere."
"How did I not know this?"
"Because I haven't gone down there since I met you."
"Why?"
"Because my days get a lot better as soon as I see you." She said as she ran a hand through Arizona's curly locks.
"Look, I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me. Yes, I am privileged and very blessed, I do have my cars and all of my family stuff, but I don't spend massive amounts of money very often. I will rarely, and I mean rarely, spend a lot of money. Most of the time I don't even touch my trust fund. All of my old cars were gifts from my dad because he knows how much I love cars, and my new car was my idea because I have been eyeing it for a long time and I just decided to go for it. But, I pay for that apartment and everything else I buy with the money that I make as a surgeon."
"Callie, I won't get the wrong idea about you. I know you really well and this is the first time I even suspected that you were rich, you're allowed to pamper yourself a little bit, I mean, you deserve it. Especially after saving lives and everything."
"Well, actually a lot of my money goes towards saving lives as well, I donate a lot of money to different foundations every year. I donate to cancer research and all different kinds of research for diseases."
"Wow, that's really sweet."
"I've just been so lucky and blessed, so I love being able to give back and help those that are less fortunate, and disease research is very important to me."
"Well I really admire you because you have fun, you donate to charities, and you work for your money, Calliope. You aren't like Paris Hilton, whose job is to act stupid on TV and get paid for it."
"I know, I never wanted to just have everything handed to me, I wanted to earn them, and I wanted to save lives. I have had a lot handed to me, but I'm really lucky, because I get to earn my own money and save lives. And, Paris isn't really that stupid in real life, neither is Nicole Richie, they're both actually rather smart, but they have to be all dumbed down for their show. I've actually had some really nice conversations with the two of them."
"Alright, well, I'm not even going to touch that topic." Arizona said as she shook her head in disbelief.
