A/N: Some of you still don't believe me that this will end with Calzona together. You should trust me by now ;D And there's nothing wrong with me taking my time. Like I said before I don't want to rush into them being together because I would only ruin the story.

The Calzona centric episode it's called Bend and brake and I'm trying to stay optimistic but I think they'll break up. In the promo you were able to see Callie and Arizona arguing about Africa and about cheating in front of their therapist. It's amazing for how long Arizona kept everything inside. For whatever's worth I hope they will make it. They have to.

Callie has just settled on the couch when the doorbell rang. She sighed and pushed herself in a standing position. She woke up earlier than usually to an empty house which was unusual as she was almost 8 months into pregnancy and Callie felt like she could pop the baby out in any minute now and Arizona never left her side. Arizona left the note saying she was paged and would be home around 4 in the afternoon. Callie opened the door and looked at Julie. She hadn't seen her since her and Arizona broke up. "Hi."

"Hey," Julie said awkwardly. "I know Arizona's not home, I'm just here to pick up some things. I'm leaving for Africa today so yeah."

Callie opened the door further. Before, she had only poked her head out but now Julie was able to see just how pregnant she was. "You don't have to explain to me. I'm not allowed to have an opinion."

"I know, but I feel like I have to. Since..." Her words died as she nodded towards Callie's large belly. "Is Arizona doing okay?"

Callie nodded. She didn't really think Arizona was acting any differently now from before. "She's doing great. Preparing for the baby and everything." It wasn't her plan to bring up the baby and make Julie feel guilty but she couldn't help herself.

Julie cleared her throat. "That's really great. So uhm... I'll just go and take my stuff."

"Okay," Callie replied. She didn't know why but she felt the need to protect Arizona. And her baby. Well Arizona's baby. She sat back on the couch and made a sip of her tea. She couldn't wait to get back to coffee. Drinking teas and hot chocolates just wasn't the same. She looked at her phone thinking whether she should tell Arizona that Julie was there or not. She picked it up and slid her thumb across the screen to unlock it. Then she clicked on the messages and picked Arizona's name. She chewed on her lower lip, thinking about it. Her finger slid over the screen. I just thought u should know that Julie came over to pick up her stuff.

Arizona was making her way to the NICU when her phone signaled she got a message. She and Callie texted every once in a while to keep each other updated as Arizona was worried about her all the time. She read the message and stood still. She hadn't really missed Julie anymore. She was away so much she easily got used to not have her around. She was sure she would miss her once the baby was up at 3 in the morning though. Oh... Well thanks for telling me. Arizona didn't know what else to write. Not even a minute later she got a new text.

U okay?

Arizona smiled to herself. Callie was so sweet to her. Yeah :) It just took me by surprise. And she was telling the truth. She thought the break up would be harder on her. Callie giving birth and moving out of her house would be harder she assumed. She even considered asking Callie to stay with her for the first couple of months after baby's birth. But she hadn't had the guts to do it yet.

Callie smiled at the text and then settled the phone back on the coffee table. She stared at the TV for a while as she waited for Julie to finish getting her belongings together. She could understand the difference between what Arizona wanted and what Julie wanted but she couldn't understand how Julie could just leave someone she loved and an unborn baby behind. She wasn't allowed to judge though.

Julie returned in half an hour with everything she owned packed in a suitcase and a bag. "So I guess this is it?"

"Yeah," Callie smiled awkwardly.

Julie got to the front door. "Callie, I wish you well in life. And I truly am sorry for just.. leaving."

"You should have said that to Arizona, not me. I'm just here doing my job." It felt weird saying the word job but that's what she was doing. She was being payed to raise a child for someone else. And she trusted Arizona to do a great job with the baby.

"I know. Can you tell her I'm wishing her the best though? She deserves to have a baby and she deserves to be happy. I feel like I couldn't do that for her." Those were Julie's last words as she walked through the door and closed the door behind her.

Callie sighed and pushed herself on her feet. Today Arizona's parents were coming over to help put together a nursery. All of the furniture has already arrived and was waiting in Julie's old office. Arizona didn't have enough time to do it alone and Callie was not allowed to lift anything heavier than her phone. Her blood pressure had been high through most of her pregnancy and because of that she had to get checks done every two weeks. Callie went up the stairs to check on the washing machine. She put the baby clothes they bought in the machine so they could put them in the closet once it would be ready. She missed a step though and somehow ended up falling on her belly. Her heart stopped beating for a second as she gasped for air. She slowly turned around and placed a hand on her stomach. She fell directly on the stair. She panicked when the baby didn't respond but after a few minutes there was some fluttering and a soft kick. Her heart was still pounding. There was a reason Arizona always told her to be careful on the stairs and since she couldn't see past her own pregnant belly she tripped. And it made her feel angry and stupid as if she wasn't capable of walking anymore. "Okay little one. That scared us huh?" She let out a shaky breath and gripped on the railing. She got back on her feet and slowly and carefully made a few more steps until she reached the top. She was sure she wasn't going down anytime soon. After she moved the baby clothes in the dryer she looked around the nursery. The paint was finally dry and the smell of paint was slowly fading away. Arizona painted it by herself with a little help of Callie. The doorbell rang and Callie nervously glanced down the stairs. She gingerly walked down. Her side hurt but she took the baby kicking as a good sign and decided not to make a big deal out of this. She opened the door and smiled. "Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Robbins."

"Callie, we already told you to call us Barbara and Daniel," Barbara once again insisted.

"I'm sorry," Callie said and smiled. She felt more at ease with Arizona's parents now. "Arizona's not home yet but I assume she should be here in about 30 minutes."

Daniel shrugged. "We know, we just like to be early. How have you been doing?" His initial dislike towards Callie has changed as he realized Callie was actually a very nice person and wasn't just offering to do this for the money. Arizona also told him what happened to her fiancée.

"Alright I guess. I feel ready to get this baby out of me," Callie said and laughed a little. It was true. And yet at the same time she knew she would be separated from the baby once it would be born.

"Not too soon though, first we need to make sure the room is ready," Barbara joked.

Callie nodded in agreement. And just on cue her stomach rambled. She had an early breakfast and apparently the baby was ready for dinner or maybe late lunch. "Sorry," she said with a blush.

Barbara waved her hand. "Don't apologize. You need food. So how about we have a snack and start dinner while Daniel prepares the room for furniture?"

"Okay." Callie always felt shy around Arizona's parents for some reason. Maybe because they were so nice to her and her own family refused to acknowledge the fact that she was carrying a child for someone else.

Daniel pushed up the sleeves of his shirt. "I'll go read the instructions then." He knew the women liked to chat and preferred not being around for that.

After some arguing Callie agreed to let Barbara prepare her a snack which included ham and cheese toast with mayo. Arizona couldn't get mad if she knew her mom made the snack. Callie rubbed her belly after she finish eating. She was satisfied along with the baby. Her sides were still aching from the fall but she took it as a normal sign.

Barbara noticed Callie rubbing her baby bump. "May I?" she asked. This was her first grandchild in there and as excited she was to see them when they were born she wanted to feel it kick as well.

"Sure," Callie said. Arizona often sang or talked to the stomach before going to bed so she got used to it. The baby refused to move for the first few minutes but when the sound of the front door closing startled Callie it kicked.

Arizona entered what seemed like a quiet house even though her parents's car was parked in front of her garage. She checked the kitchen first because her mom always went there first. She walked in on her mom touching Callie's stomach. "Mom?" she questioned.

"The baby's kicking," Barbara said excitedly and pulled Arizona towards them, placing her daughter's hand on the place where she just felt the kick.

Arizona rolled her eyes. She had felt kicks for millions of times and yet it still amazed her how something so tiny could be so strong. She noticed Callie inhaling sharply. "You okay?"

"Yeah, it's just that one went straight to my bladder," Callie explained and then wobbled to the bathroom.

Barbara looked at her daughter who kept her eyes on Callie until the very last moment. "Are you ready for this?"

"To put together a nursery? Yeah, I think I am."

Barbara laughed. "Not that, honey. I meant being a mother. It's not just all about how much you can offer your child."

Arizona sighed. "I'm ready, mom. I mean I was doubting at the beginning but I think I can handle it. I already talked to the Chief and he said he'll give me as much time off as I would get if I were on maternity leave and I'll be in charge of my own surgical schedule. I'll love the baby. I already do."

"I'm so excited to have my first grandchild," Barbara said with tears in her eyes. She hugged Arizona tightly. "You're going to be a wonderful mom and I'm sure you won't be doing it on your own."

Arizona chewed on her lip. "I thought about asking Callie to stay for a while after birth. But I don't wanna make this hard on her."

"Arizona," Barbara warned.

"I think we could use each other's help. She said she wanted to go back to being a surgeon again and I want to make sure I'm ready to be a mom on my own," Arizona argued. She had to stop the discussion though because Callie returned from the bathroom and she didn't want her to hear. "Okay, so I'll go get dad and we'll start with the crib in the nursery." She decided to originally place the crib there and then add a comfortable couch in the room so she could sleep there if she had to.

"And we'll start with dinner," Barbara said. She was thrilled she was able to cook with someone. While Arizona knew how she was never really enthusiastic about food and she never tried new recipes.

Callie kept experiencing some mild pain while she was chopping vegetables but eventually it went away and she was able to relax. She was worried though because she wasn't sure if it was from the trip she had or if it was normal pregnancy pain.

"Are you okay? You're looking a little pale."

Callie cleared her throat. "I'm fine, really. I just feel funny, I guess."

Barbara laughed. "You should sit down. You've been standing for an hour." She nearly pushed Callie on the bar stool. "Is your back alright?"

"Barbara, I'm honestly okay," Callie said and laughed. "The baby just never wants to settle down through the day but that way I can sleep perfectly through the night." Well if you could count sleeping on back perfectly.

"You can check on Arizona and Daniel to see how far they are," Barbara pushed.

Callie sighed. "Okay, then." She took an extra time getting up the stairs. She had never though she would be afraid of stairs but it seemed like she suddenly was. She walked in the nursery. "Barbara kicked me out of the kitchen," she complained.

Daniel laughed. "Get used to it."

"Do you need to sit down?" Arizona immediately offered. The couch was already placed but it was covered in thin foil to protect it from dust She would have gone to the store at 3 in the morning if she had to, to keep Callie satisfied but so far that hasn't been an issue.

Callie rolled her eyes. "No, thank you though. Can I help with anything?" She wanted to feel useful.

"Sure," Daniel said immediately and then got a glare from Arizona. He cleared his throat. "You could help us by reading the instructions."

"From the couch," Arizona quickly added. She didn't say much as Callie moved to the couch with a paper in her hands. She slowly started reading the instructions and soon they had the crib standing. They moved it to where Arizona specifically marked the place for it. "It looks good doesn't it?" The crib was by the window which was covered with orange curtains with farm animals printed over it. Arizona also brought some drawings home that her patients did specially for the baby.

Callie smiled. "It looks awesome."

Daniel laughed. He was the only one who noticed such Arizona word coming from Callie's mouth. "It's very neat," he confirmed.

"So I have a box with letters so once the baby is named we can place them on the wall," Arizona said. She was dying for the baby to get born so she could name them. Timothy was still her favorite name for the boy while any name for the girl hasn't really popped yet.

"This is gonna be a great home for the baby," Callie said. Everything about this was bittersweet. She loved carrying a child under her heart and she knew she would probably get a child on her own soon.

Arizona smiled. She didn't know what to say. This was a dream come true and every day she was more thankful for Callie to do this for her. They continued to decorate the baby's room and putting together the last furniture.

And then Barbara's voice brought everyone from their thoughts. "Dinner is ready!" she yelled from the downstairs.

Callie pushed herself on her feet and took her time going back downstairs. Daniel went before her but Arizona stayed behind always making sure she was placing her feet right. "You don't have to watch me like a hawk, you know."

"I feel like I should," Arizona said unapologetic. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach and she didn't know why. They sat around the table as Barbara placed a plate in front of everyone.

Callie tried getting up to help but was stopped by Arizona's mother. She felt like she should still be allowed to put plates on the table. Usually she would be very hungry at this hour even with the lunch and she got worried that her stomach wasn't growling like usually. What if she did hurt herself on the stairs? She glanced at Arizona while she picked on her food but couldn't find the strength to tell her nor the way to tell her. After dinner she insisted on at least washing the dishes. They were always pointing out she shouldn't act like a guest anyway.

"Are you okay?" Arizona asked, while helping Callie with the dishes. She found it amusing how much cutlery people of four were able to get dirty.

Callie shrugged. "Yeah, I guess. I don't know. I feel weird."

"The baby?" Arizona tried.

Callie shrugged again. She really didn't know how else to express herself. "I guess it's just been a long, weird day. With Julie showing up and putting together the baby's room."

"How about you go take a nice hot bath and I'll finish here? That way my mom won't annoy you and you can relax. And later we can check the room together. With the special night light turned on." She bought a turtle that projected stars when you turned it on.

Callie smiled. "Okay," she said softly. She went in her bedroom and grabbed her comfortable pajamas and then headed in the bathroom. She let the water fill the bathtub while she was taking her clothes off. She noticed a bruise forming on the side of her stomach by her ribs. She never used to bruise this easily but she just assumed it was part of the pregnancy. She sat in the warm water and sighed happily. She rubbed her stomach and the baby kicked against her hand. She used the soft soap that was suppose to be for the baby but Arizona let her use it because it made skin really soft.

In the meantime Arizona said goodbye to her parents and managed to finish the new article she was working on. She heard the bathroom door open so she closed her laptop. "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better," Callie confirmed with a nod. She looked around. "Are your parents gone?"

Arizona laughed. "Yeah, I kind of kicked them out." She saw Callie looking at her with narrowed eyes. "What? I had a lot to do and you need some peace too."

"Your parents don't really bother me," Callie said honestly. With this new experience she also gained some new friends.

Arizona decided to change the topic and dragged Callie by her hand in the nursery. She pulled the window drapes closed so the only light in the room was the one coming from the turtle nightlight. "It's pretty isn't it?"

"Yeah," Callie breathed out. The stars and the moon glowing on the ceiling were almost breathtaking. She knew the baby would be nothing but loved here. Her eyes teared up.

"Callie, what's wrong?" Arizona quietly asked when she heard Callie sniffle. She saw tears running down her cheeks and she instinctively reached up to gently wipe them away.

Callie was surprised by the electricity that flew through her body when Arizona touched her. And when she noticed Arizona's eyes widen she knew she felt it too. But none of them knew what to do. She was carrying a child for this woman. It sure as hell was complicated.

Arizona's eyes moved to Callie's lips when Callie licked them subconsciously. "Callie," she whispered hoping the other woman would do something. Callie stood still though for another minute and then she slowly leaned forward. Arizona's breath caught in her throat when a warm breath washed over her lips. This was crazy. She had just broke up with her girlfriend and was suppose to be the mature one. But then Callie's lips touched hers gently and she couldn't find another reason why this would be wrong. She didn't have time to be in awe over the soft kiss though because Callie pulled away while clutching on her stomach and a look of pain flashed in her eyes. "What?" she asked out of breath.

Callie couldn't speak, she just pointed out to the crib. She was having contractions.
