Arizona woke up with one of the worst headaches of her life. Her head felt like it was run over repeatedly with a train. The only thing that made the headache better was the soft bed she was laying in. Arizona felt a warm body next to her, assuming it was Callie she rolled over and wrapped her arms around the brunette.
"Morning baby." The blonde moved her hand up to Callie's chest and grabbed her breasts.
"They even feel good in the morning."
"Um Arizona?"
"Yeah baby?"
"I'm not Callie…" Arizona immediately opened her eyes and was met by blonde hair spilled over her pillow. The other blonde flipped over and awkwardly smiled at Arizona.
"Leah? Why are you in my bed?!"
"You're in my bed."
Arizona looked behind the blonde and noticed white walls and a dark hardwood floor. A million questions ran through the blonde's head as she thought about things that happened hours before. She remembered dancing, getting drunk and fighting with someone before getting in to a cab.
"What? Why am I here? What happened last night?" Arizona sat up and so did Leah.
"Everyone was at Callie's and we were having a great time. Callie grabbed you and we didn't see you guys for at least an hour. You came out of nowhere, completely trashed and needed to go home. You couldn't tell me where you lived and I couldn't find Callie or anyone else so I just brought you here. We made the most amazing grilled cheese sandwiches and watched American Bake Off."
"Oh…well thank you. That was really nice of you to bring me here and feed me."
"It was no problem. It was nice to talk to someone; it was the first time I felt like I had someone who really got me. I don't really open myself up and when I do I can kind of get carried away… like I am right now by telling you all this." Leah awkwardly scratched the back of her neck.
"We're friends, Leah."
"We are?"
"Yeah. I know what it's like moving from place to place and not making friends. Anytime you need to talk about anything I'm here."
"Thanks, Arizona like the battleship."
"Oh god. I told you that story?"
"Yes you did. You also told me about the time in third grade when you told the teacher your name and she said 'No honey not where you're from."
"I hated that teacher." Both girls laughed but Arizona flinched at her headache.
"Hey can I bum some painkillers? This hangover is hitting me hard."
"Yeah sure. Let's go downstairs."
Arizona and Leah climbed out of the massive bed and walked downstairs. Arizona took note of how big and nice the upstairs was. The landing felt like the size of a football field and it had the same dark hardwood floors that were in Leah's bedroom. After walking down the grand staircase the younger blonde lead Arizona into the kitchen. "Do you want breakfast? The chef should be here soon." Leah walked over to a small cabinet by the fridge and revealed a fully stocked medicine cabinet. "No thanks. You have a really nice house by the way." Leah grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and handed Arizona the pills and water.
"Thanks. My mom really prides herself on having fancy things." Leah jumped on one of the many white marble countertops.
"If you don't mind me asking, what does your mom do?" Leah and Arizona had bonded over both their father's being in the military and moving place to place.
"She's a fashion designer. Ever heard of Murphy and Tess? My mom is the Murphy and my aunt is the Tess."
"Oh that's cool."
'That explains why this place is so damn fancy.'
"Yeah. I just miss her being around."
"She isn't around a lot?"
"Nope. She spends a lot of time in Mulan and Paris. She says they really inspire her."
"Do you visit a lot?"
"No. I might throw off her creative vibe."
"Oh…I'm sorry."
"It's okay at least my dad comes home every day." Leah smiled at the mention of her father. Arizona started to say something but her phone stopped her. She quickly pulled her phone out of her jean pocket and was met by several messages.
Meredith: Hey where'd you go?
Cristina: Arizona where are you?
Callie: Will you please call me so I know you're alive?
Tim: Mom and dad say its time for you to come home
Amelia: Don't worry I'll tell everyone you're staying with Leah
The most recent was from Tim
Tim: Phoenix seriously come home
"I gotta go before my parents have heart attacks." Arizona slid her phone back into her pocket and Leah jumped off the counter.
"Okay, do you want me to walk you home?"
"No that's okay. Can you tell me where we are?"
"We're in Jefferson Heights."
"Jefferson Heights?" Arizona knew the area well since that's were Addison used to live.
"Do you know how to get home from here?"
"Yeah, a friend of mine use to live around here."
"Oh good so you won't get lost."
Leah walked Arizona to the door and said goodbye. Arizona smiled when she walked outside and saw Addison's old house across the street. 'That's the house that brought Callie and I together.' The blonde smiled as she started on her journey home.
Meredith stood in the shower and allowed the scolding hot water to run down her body. After a night of drinking and partying it felt good to shower and wash the night off. As she washed the last of the shampoo out of her hair the bathroom door flew open and then the shower door.
"What the hell?!" Meredith covered herself as she turned around to find Cristina.
"Cristina, what the hell?"
"Owen slept with someone else."
"What?"
"Owen slept with that slutty whore from the coffee shop in the mall."
"The Grinder or Coffee Republic?"
"Coffee Republic."
"The redhead or blonde?"
"Blonde."
"That pig!"
"I know! I gave him the best months of his life and this is what he does to me?"
"Cristina, you want to break up with him?"
"Yeah but I wanted him to break up with me in a nice way. I wanted him to come over the day before he left for boot camp and give a grand speech before ending it."
"Look at it this way you still get to keep his sweatshirts."
"True. But he's still a lying cheating bastard."
"He's a nice guy, Cristina."
"Until I get over this he's a lying cheating bastard. I'll go wait in your room while you finish this."
Cristina closed the shower door leaving Meredith alone to finish her shower. A few minutes later Meredith stepped out of the shower, dried her hair and wrapped a towel around herself before walking down to her room. Cristina was laying on the bed with arms and legs spread wide while starring at the ceiling.
"What's it like outside?"
"It's cold but sunny."
"That's rare." Meredith walked over to her dresser and started a search for clothes.
"I still can't believe he cheated on me."
"When did he cheat?"
"Last night after Callie's party. He met with his little whore, brought her to his house and had sex with her. I hope she gets knocked up because those two wouldn't have cute babies."
"They would not have cute babies." Meredith pulled one of Derek's sweatshirt over her head.
"Who am I kidding, they would have adorable babies."
"They would have adorable babies." The blonde quickly put on a pair of underwear and shorts before climbing in bed with Cristina.
"Do you know what happened to Arizona last night? Derek and I looked for her before we left but couldn't find her."
"Amelia didn't tell you?"
"No?"
"Arizona left with Leah."
"Oh no. Does Arizona know how much Callie dislikes Leah?"
"I don't think she does. Callie was pretty pissed when I left."
"I hope they don't break up; I'm really rooting for them."
"I think we all are."
"Wanna get drunk and eat pizza?" Cristina sat up and grabbed her phone off the nightstand.
"We can order pizza but we can't get drunk. I have to babysit Sammy in like an hour."
"That's fine with me but Sam doesn't get any pizza."
Callie was lying on the couch, watching Juno. Aria noticed during breakfast Callie was unusually quiet and moody. Carlos and Lucia decided to go to the exclusive country club a few miles out of town giving Aria an opportunity to talk to her sister. Aria sat down on the opposite end of the couch beside Callie's feet.
"Hey."
"Hey." Callie blankly said.
"What's up?"
"Nothing."
"Calliope I know something is wrong."
"It's nothing."
"Callie please tell me what's wrong."
"Fine but you'll think I'm overreacting."
"I promise I won't, Cal."
"Last night I had a party and we were all drinking and having a good time. I grabbed Arizona and took her up to my room while she was really drunk. We were…fooling around and um…" Callie felt a blush creep across her cheeks.
"And?"
"We were in the middle of you know and I told her to say my name but she couldn't. Then we got into a fight and she stormed out."
"What do you mean she couldn't?"
"Aria, she didn't remember my name."
"Oh…OH." Aria's eyes widened at the realization.
"Yeah…that isn't a good reason to be mad is it?"
"I think it's a good reason. I would be pissed if Tim was so drunk he couldn't say my name."
"The thing that really made me mad was that she went home with Leah."
"Who's Leah?"
"Leah Murphy. She's a sophomore, she's pretty, blonde and her mom makes like a million dollars a day."
"So I take it you're jealous of Leah."
"I'm not jealous. I just don't like her leaving a party with my drunk girlfriend."
"Why don't you call Arizona and tell her to come over? You guys can talk this out."
"I will, I just can't get over the fight."
"I'm sure you two will work this out. Now I'm going upstairs and you're going to call her."
Aria jumped up and ran upstairs to her room. Callie grabbed her phone off the coffee table and called Arizona.
Arizona face planted into her bed. After a lecture from Daniel and Barbara Arizona somehow managed to become even more exhausted. Just as she got comfortable her phone rang; the blonde quickly pulled her phone out and answered without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?"
"Hey, can you come over?"
"Oh Callie it's you." Arizona was relieved to hear her girlfriend's soothing voice.
"Yeah it's me. So can you come over? We need to talk."
"That's never a good thing." Callie could hear the fear in Arizona's voice and immediately regretted her choice of words.
"Sorry, that sounded better in my head. I just need to talk to you."
"Yeah I'll be over in like five minutes."
"Okay. Bye."
"I love you, Calliope."
"I love you too, Arizona."
The call ended leaving Arizona's heart and mind racing. Callie sounded upset during the entire conversation. As Arizona climbed out of bed she tried to remember if she did anything to Callie the previous night. The blonde knocked on her brother's door before quickly stepping in.
"Tim?" The former soldier was lying face down on his bed with his arms under his pillow.
"Yeah?"
"Can you take me to Callie's? I don't think dad will let me take the truck."
"You can take my Jeep, just don't wreck it." Tim flung his hand on the nightstand and grabbed the keys.
"Thanks, bro. You're the best." Arizona caught the keys and held them tightly in her hand.
"No problem. If you see Aria tell her, I'll call her later."
"Okay. Bye Tim."
"Bye baby sister."
After sneaking past Daniel and Barbara Arizona cautiously drove to Callie's. Incase Carlos and Lucy came home, the blonde parked a little down the street. The blonde knocked on the door once before walking in, she figured they had been dating long enough that it was okay to just walk in.
"Callie?"
"I'm in the living room." Arizona quickly walked over to the couch and saw her girlfriend laying comfortably under a blanket.
"Hey baby." The blonde climbed over the back of the couch and straddled her girlfriend.
"You seem happy. Fun night with Leah?"
"From what she told me it was fun. We made grilled cheese and watched American Bake Off."
"Sounds fun." The brunette said flatly forcing Arizona's brow to furrow.
"Did I do something wrong last night?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes I'm serious. All I remember is dancing, getting drunk and fighting with someone before getting in to a cab."
"You got into a fight with me."
"What?" Arizona's eyes widened. She and Callie rarely fought but when they did it wasn't pretty.
"I can't believe you don't remember. We were in the middle of having sex, the hottest sex ever, I told you to say my name and you couldn't because you forgot it."
"I forgot your name?"
"Yes but it gets better. After I got mad at you we stopped and then you got mad at me. You started saying how unhappy I made you and that you didn't want to date me anymore…" Callie's voice trailed off at the last part and she didn't make eye contact with Arizona. The blonde's heart broke at the thought of telling Callie she didn't want to be with her.
"You know I didn't mean that, Calliope. I love you so, so, so, so much. I don't want anyone else." Arizona cupped Callie's face and forced the brunette to look at her.
"I know you didn't mean it, it just really hurt to hear. Then you ran off with Leah and didn't answer your phone."
"I'm so sorry, Callie. I'll never drink again." Arizona leaned down and caught the brunette's lips in a kiss.
"It's okay." Arizona could tell there was still doubt in the brunette's voice.
"Wanna go upstairs and cuddle?"
"Not really, I'm comfy right here."
'Okay be stubborn.'
"Wrap your legs around my back."
"What?"
"Wrap those long legs around my back."
"Why?"
Tired of the questions Arizona grabbed Callie's legs and wrapped them around her lower back. The blonde grabbed underneath Callie's thighs and managed to stand up. "Arizona put me down!" Callie yelped as she wrapped her arms around the blonde's neck. "No, I'm going to take you up to your room." Arizona started towards the stairs determined to wipe any doubt about her feelings from Callie's mind. "Arizona you're going to drop me!" Callie always wondered how Arizona could carry her with Callie being a few inches taller and a few pounds heavier. "I would never drop my girl." The blonde placed small kisses on Callie's neck as she walked into the brunette's bedroom. Once the door was closed Callie unwrapped her legs from her girlfriend's back and stood on her own.
"Why'd you bring me up here?"
"Because." Arizona held her girlfriend's hands and kissed her lips.
"I wanted to do this."
Arizona proceeded to attack her girlfriend's lips with kisses. "I wanted to. Show you. You're the only. One I. Want." Each word was broken up by a kiss. Callie felt her heart swell at Arizona's words. "Get on the bed." Arizona gently nudged the brunette back to the bed. Once Callie was lying on the bed Arizona straddled her girlfriend and placed both hands on either side of Callie's head.
"Calliope Iphegenia Torres, I am completely in love with you. I am sorry for the stupid things I said last night."
"Arizona I told you it's okay."
"I can tell you're unsure when you say that. Callie, I plan on having a life with you. I want us to get married and have a big house and-and I want tiny humans running around, our own tiny humans."
"I know you don't want kids."
"I want kids but I only want kids with you. I want our tiny humans running into our room every morning and jumping on the bed to wake us up." Arizona watched the smile she loved so much creep across Callie's face.
"I know you like to sleep naked so maybe the kids can stay in their rooms until we're ready."
"I'll start wearing a shirt to bed at least."
"No, don't do that."
Callie wrapped her arms around Arizona's neck and kissed her. The kiss deepened when Arizona slid her hands under Callie's shirt. They both grinned into the kiss as Arizona massaged the brunette's breasts. The brunette broke the kiss for air and smiled at her blonde.
"Do you think you can say my name this time?"
"I know I can." Arizona smirked before kissing down Callie's neck.
Amelia and Teddy laid comfortably in the brunette's bed watching a made for TV movie. With Teddy's head resting on her stomach, Amelia gently scratched the blonde's scalp. Teddy leaned her back and smiled at the brunette.
"I like this."
"Me scratching your head?"
"That and laying around with you in our pajamas."
"I like it too but it's a little loud here." Amelia was referencing Mark and Derek yelling at their video games and her little sisters playing with their friends in the next room.
"That's okay, it's always quiet at my house."
"Amelia?" Nancy yelled from the other side of the bedroom door.
"What Nancy?"
"We're hungry."
"Go ask Mark or Derek to make you something."
"I did! They said ask you!"
"Go make them something to eat." Teddy sat up so Amelia could get out of bed.
"Do you want anything?" Amelia swung her legs over the side of bed, making sure not to hit Teddy.
"I'm good."
"Teddy you haven't eaten today."
"I'm not hungry, Amy."
"I'm making you sandwich and you're going to eat it." Amelia walked out of the room and was surrounded by six little girls.
"Alright what do you guys want?"
"Pizza!" All the girls yelled.
"How about sandwiches?"
"No, we want pizza!" Katy yelled.
"I don't have any money for pizza."
"Can't Derek pay for it?"
"No. Let's go downstairs."
Amelia lead the girls to the kitchen and set out everything they would need to make lunch. Amelia made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for Teddy. "Derek, Mark, make sure they don't make a mess." Amelia said as she walked passed the living room and up the stairs. When the brunette entered her room she was greeted by Teddy lying on 'her side' of the bed.
"Your sandwich my lady."
"I told you not to make me one." Teddy took the sandwich from Amelia's hand.
"You need to eat something."
"Thanks mom."
"I take better care of you than your mom does."
"That's very true." Teddy laughed while eating her lunch. Amelia laid down on the bed and continued to watch the movie. Once Teddy was finished she crawled over and laid her head on Amelia's chest. Just as the two started to get comfy there was a knock on the door.
"Nancy I told you guys to eat sandwiches!"
"I don't want a sandwich. I want Teddy." Owen opened the door and gave an apologetic smile.
"You can't have her. She's mine this weekend."
"Please Amelia? I really need to talk to her."
"Fine." Amelia hesitantly let go and allowed Teddy to crawl out of bed.
"I'll have her back before dark."
"What?" Teddy questioned as they two walked out to Owen's Jeep.
"I did something that I regret. We have to go somewhere quiet and I know your house is always quiet."
Owen and Teddy drove in silence. Teddy played with the strings on her pajama pants as they pulled into Teddy's driveway. Teddy quickly got out of the Jeep and ran inside. The blonde watched as Owen slowly walked over to her couch and sunk into it.
"So, what did you do?"
"I slept with the blonde cashier from Coffee Republic."
"Oh my god, Owen!"
"I know, I know. I feel bad about it but then I also don't feel bad about it."
"What do you mean?"
"I care about Cristina so that's why I feel bad but, I did what made me happy so that's why I don't feel bad."
"If you-."
Teddy was cut off by the doorbell. The blonde and redhead glanced at the door before looking at each other. Teddy walked over to the window and looked out into the driveway to see another Jeep parked beside Owen's. "Owen, you answer it." Teddy whispered still looking at the Jeep. "Why me?" Owen stood up as the doorbell rang again. Both teenagers starred hard at the door, they were both a little scared but curious. Owen slowly walked over to the door and opened it.
"Hello." A very tall man with a blonde military styled haircut towered over Owen.
"Hello." Owen puffed his chest out a little in an attempt to intimidate the man.
"Is this the Altman household?"
"It depends on who wants to know."
"My apologizes, son. Sergeant Matthew William Altman at your service."
"Dad?" Teddy stepped into view and looked at the man she hadn't seen in years.
"Teddy Bear."
Teddy practically threw Owen against the wall to get to her dad. The blonde leaped into the Sergeant's arms and hugged him extremely tight. "Daddy you're home." Teddy whispered through a stream of tears. "Yes I am. I'm not going anywhere." After a few minutes of hugging Teddy let go and smiled at her father.
"Are you going to introduce me to your…boyfriend?"
"Oh god, Owen isn't my boyfriend. He's like my right hand man."
"Owen Hunt. Soon to be Private Owen Hunt." The two shook hands as the Sergeant looked him up and down.
"You're enlisting?"
"When I graduate, sir."
"You don't have kids do you?"
"No, sir."
"Good. My biggest regret was leaving this one behind." Matthew wrapped an arm around Teddy and kissed the side of her head. Owen could tell Teddy just wanted alone time with her dad so he decided to leave.
"I'll talk to you later, Teddy."
"Owen, will you tell Amelia my dad's back and that's why I won't be answering my phone?"
"Of course. It was nice to meet you, Sergeant Altman."
"It was nice to meet you too, Owen."
Owen quickly left leaving Teddy and Matthew alone. The younger blonde sat down on the couch while Matthew sat down in the comfy chair. Matthew played with his hands for a moment before exhaling loudly.
"We need to talk about why I left."
"Yes we do."
Callie watched Arizona's chest rise and fall as the blonde slept peacefully beside her. After a few rounds of makeup sex the blonde laid down on her side of the bed. They were making Valentine's Day plans when Arizona fell asleep. Callie figured the blonde didn't get enough sleep the previous night or she had enough sleep but the hangover made her feel extremely tired. Callie slowly climbed out of bed and walked into the bathroom. The brunette studied herself in the mirror and smiled. Her hair was a mess and several hickeys' on her neck made it obvious that she and Arizona had spent time alone.
Callie walked back into the bedroom and noticed Arizona's phone lighting up on the nightstand. 'Don't look through it. It's none of your business.' Bye the time the second text was on the screen Arizona's phone was already in Callie's hand. The brunette knew she shouldn't snoop through Arizona's texts but she couldn't resist.
Leah M: Hey I'm glad you made it home okay!
Leah M: Do you want to come over tonight? My dad is going out with some friends and I don't want to be alone
"Callie?" The blonde whispered in a sleepy haze. Callie quickly put the phone back in its place and looked at the blonde.
"Hi sleepyhead."
"What are you doing?" Arizona sat up and rubbed her knuckles over her eyes.
"Your phone was going off. I checked to make sure it wasn't anything serious."
"Was it serious?"
"Not really." Arizona grabbed her phone off the nightstand and read her messages. Callie watched as the blonde typed her response to Leah.
"Leah wants me to come over. Do you wanna come too?"
'No I don't even want you to go.'
"I can't. I told Aria I would have dinner with her."
"You sure? Leah has a chef."
"Yeah I'm sure."
"Hey." Arizona climbed out of bed and wrapped her arms around Callie's neck. The blonde kissed her girlfriend sweetly.
"You don't have to sounds so sad about me and Leah hanging out."
"I know, it's just that she's the new girl and I don't know a lot about her."
"Try and get to know her. She's really sweet, Callie."
"I guess I can try."
"That's my girl. Now I'm going to go home and shower."
"Why? You smell good." Callie wrapped her arms around Arizona's waist and kissed her neck.
"I smell like sex, thanks to you."
"Is that really a bad thing?"
"For me it isn't but for everyone who talks to me before my shower might think it is."
Meredith watched in amusement as Cristina played with Samuel. "Who's a handsome boy? Samuel is, oh yes he is." Cristina held the babies hands over his head so his legs balanced on her thighs. "He's my handsome boy." Meredith cooed while tickling her brother's tummy causing the four-month old to squeal.
"I thought Derek was your handsome boy."
"He is but Samuel lets me dress him, tickle him and he lets me do his hair, so I like him a little more."
"Derek doesn't let you tickle him or do his hair?"
"He's not ticklish and that makes me sad. He did let me do his hair once and said 'Meredith, I'm never letting you touch my hair again' then he took a twenty-minute shower to get all the gel out."
"How has Derek been since the whole New Year's thing?"
"He's been very…attentive."
"Super clingy?"
"Very. He calls me at least seven times a day. It's not that I don't like him paying more attention to me it's just that I wish it didn't take this kind of loss to make him pay attention to me."
"I get that. I still can't believe you were pregnant."
"I know, it's crazy to think. If I would have had that baby it would have had so many things wrong with it. Think of all the times we got drunk and inhaled cigarette smoke at Callie's parties."
"The kid would probably be born with a bottle of tequila in its hand." Both girls laughed at the thought. Samuel wiggled out of Cristina's grip and fell forward landing on her chest; luckily he was close enough that he wasn't hurt on impact.
"I think someone's sleepy." Meredith smiled at her bestfriend holding the sleeping baby.
"He's not the only one. Come on Sammy let's nap."
Cristina carefully swung her legs on the couch and stretched out. "Come on, Mer. Nap with us." Meredith crawled to the opposite end of the couch and put her legs in-between Cristina's. The trio got comfortable and finally fell asleep.
A few hours later Ellis and Richard returned home from work. Ellis had performed six surgeries, usually she could perform six surgeries and not bat an eye but Samuel's outburst the night before limited her to four hours of sleep.
"Sammy should be up from his nap. Will you take care of him?"
"Of course. I need to hang out with my little man more often."
The couple was surprised to find Meredith and Cristina laying on the couch, legs tangled together with Samuel on Cristina's chest.
"You know sometimes I think they're a couple." Richard whispered as they looked at the girls.
"I would rather have them be a couple. Meredith wouldn't get pregnant again." Ellis walked over and carefully picked her son up. To Richard's surprise Samuel
remained asleep as his mother carried him upstairs. Richard followed his wife upstairs leaving Meredith and Cristina asleep on the couch.
Hey guys! I know this wasn't the most exciting chapter ever but we met Teddy's dad and we learned a little about Leah. Please review and let me know what you guys thought!
A/N: This is my last chapter before heading over to Europe. Once I get back from Europe I have a week before golf practice starts (I'm in high school) so updates may slow down but I will try to update at least once a week.
A/N 2: The next update is all about Valentine's Day
