AN: So it's been a while since I've updated but I have a legitimate reason. I have not had computer access since I last updated. The computer's internet wouldn't work so I couldn't update but some guy finally fixed it but now Microsoft Word isn't working so I can't type up the next chapter and post it but as soon as everything is good I promise I'll update again.
I also just started my Senior year of high school Tuesday so I'm not going to have as much time to update but I'll try my best.

Dusty: Don't worry, you're not the only one that doesn't like Steven, a lot of my readers are having mixed feelings about him. Aria hangs out with him too but not every week since she actually like Steven. Ha, when I read that you didn't want Arizona to die I thought you were talking about my fic and I was like 'Why would I kill off Arizona?' but then I was like 'Oh, she (sorry if you're a he) means the show.' Yeah, I hope she doesn't die.
Ingris: I'm glad you think my fic is great. I will neither confirm or deny your guess ;) I followed you back on twitter in case you didn't notice :)
Kimie: You get to see a little of Callie and Steven's bonding time so you can decide for yourself if you think her secret has something to do with that. Yeah, Steven gives a lot of people the creeps :) I just started my Senior year on Tuesday and it's ok so far. I'm taking 3 AP classes, which are basically college level classes in case you didn't know, so I know later those classes are doing to take up a lot of my time. I'm glad you thought the last chapter was adorable. Sorry, I don't have a tumblr :( Maybe I'll make one eventually if my readers really want me to.
Chapter 14: Relationships
It was Monday and Arizona had just picked up Teddy for school.
"So… tell me everything." Arizona said once Teddy got into the car.
"About what?" Teddy asked.
Arizona rolled her eyes.
"Don't act dumb Teddy. I want to know everything that happened between you and Addison on Saturday after you guys left."
"Well…"
Flashback
Teddy and Addison had just finished getting ready for bed and were now trying to decide what movie to watch.
"What do you want to see, scary movie, romance, comedy…" Addison asked.
"I'm feeling like a comedy. How about 21 Jump Street?"
Once Addison put the movie in, she went to her bed to lie down. Teddy stood awkwardly by the bed not sure if she should get on or not.
"You're not just going to stand there the whole time, are you? Get on!"
Addison patted the space next to her.
Teddy took a deep breath and lied down next to Addison.
'Oh my God. I'm lying next to her in her bed. How am I supposed to control myself for two hours?'
Halfway through the movie they had already laughed so much that their stomachs were sore. After a particularly funny scene, they started laughing so much and rolled onto their sides facing each other. Their laughter died down once they noticed how close they were. Teddy stared at Addison. She wanted to lean in and kiss her but didn't want to risk losing Addison's friendship. Just as she was going to lean away, she noticed Addison look down at her lips before starting to lean in.
'She's going to kiss me! Oh my God!' Teddy thought as she saw Addison leaning in.
Before she could ponder it any more, she felt lips on hers. She didn't respond for a few seconds but once she got over the initial shock she closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss.
When they finally broke away, Addison smiled.
"I've been wanting to do that for so long." Addison breathed out.
Teddy's eyes widened.
"Really, because I've been wanting to do that for a long time too."
"So Teddy, will you-"
"Yes!"
Addison laughed.
"You didn't let me finish."
"Sorry, go ahead."
"Will you go out with me?"
"Yes!"
That night they fell asleep with smiles on their faces.
Present Day
"Aww, see I told you she liked you." Arizona said as she pulled into the school's parking lot.
They got out of the car and headed to the front entrance where Callie and Addison were waiting while Tim just headed straight inside.
"Hey babe, Addison was just telling me how she got the guts to finally ask out Teddy." Callie smirked.
"Funny, Teddy was just telling me how she didn't even let Addison finish the question before saying yes."
"Ha ha, so maybe I was a little eager in my response." Teddy said as she rolled her eyes.
"I thought it was cute." Addison replied, sending a shy smile Teddy's way.
The bell rang signaling they had six minutes to get to class. Teddy walked next to Addison.
"Come on. I'll walk you to class." Teddy told Addison.
Callie and Arizona watched them walk away.
"I'm glad they're finally together." Arizona said.
"Yeah it's about time. Now come on, let's get to class."
It was now Wednesday. Callie was currently getting changed after basketball practice. Arizona was waiting for her outside the locker room. They were going to Arizona's house to work on their Spanish project but more importantly, to meet Arizona's mom. To say Callie was nervous would be an understatement.
Once Callie was done getting ready, she headed outside.
"Hey, you ready?" Arizona asked her.
"No, not really."
"Calliope, you'll do great. My mom is not scary at all, the one you'll have to worry about is my dad but he's not going to be there tonight so you don't have to worry about that yet."
They finally arrived at Arizona's house. They quickly made their way inside.
"Mom, I'm home!" Arizona yelled out.
"In here!" Arizona heard a yell coming from the kitchen.
They walked in there and saw Arizona's mother getting dinner ready.
"Mom, this is my girlfriend Callie Torres, Calliope this is my mom." Arizona made the introductions.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Robbins." Callie said as she extended her arm for a handshake.
To Callie's surprise, her hand was swatted away and she was brought in for a hug.
"Please Callie, call me Barbara. You know, Arizona hasn't stopped talking about you since she first met you. Her day is just not complete unless she talks about you."
"Mom!" Arizona yelled, embarrassed that her mom had revealed all that.
Callie just stood there smirking at Arizona.
"We're just going to go up to my room and work on our project. Call us when dinner is ready." Arizona started to drag Callie to the stairs.
"Oh wait Arizona, I need to talk to you about something."
Arizona turned to Callie.
"My room is upstairs, first door to the right. Oh and sorry if my mom made you feel uncomfortable or something for the whole me talking about you all the time."
Arizona was about to go back into the kitchen when Callie called out her name. Arizona turned to look at Callie.
"Just so you know, I can't shut up about you either." Callie said before running up the stairs.
Arizona smiled as she went into the kitchen.
A few minutes later, Callie was sitting on Arizona's bed taking out all the supplies for the project when Arizona walked in.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Callie asked when she noticed how nervous Arizona looked.
"So change of plans. Apparently my mom mentioned to my dad that you were coming over tonight to meet her and he wants to meet you too so he's coming over tonight. Okay, let's get to work!" Arizona rambled.
"Wait, what did you just say?"
"Let's get to work."
"No before that."
"My mom told my dad you were coming over."
"Yes but after that."
"Oh, uhm… my dad is coming over."
"What?! Arizona!" Callie yelled, starting to freak out.
"It's not like I can do anything about it now. You're just going to have to meet him tonight. Stop worrying, you're going to be fine."
Callie gave Arizona an incredulous look.
"What do you mean stop worrying? You're the one that said I had nothing to worry about until it was time to meet your dad."
"Calliope, listen to me. My dad is going to love you. All you have to do is be yourself, okay?"
Callie nodded and started to calm down. She leaned in for a kiss that Arizona happily gave.
"Yo, stop making out, dad's here and it's time for dinner." Timothy said as he passed by Arizona's room on his way downstairs.
Arizona scowled at her brother's interruption while Callie just laughed.
"How does he always manage to interrupt us?" Arizona asked.
"Come on, he doesn't always interrupt us, this is only the first time."
"Yeah well that's one time too many. Now let's go, you need to meet my dad."
Callie reluctantly let Arizona drag her downstairs. When they got downstairs, Arizona immediately ran to her dad who was standing by the kitchen table.
"Hey dad." Arizona said as she hugged her father.
"Hey, how's my daughter?"
"Awesome, so I hear there's someone you wanted to meet tonight."
"That's right." He said as he looked up and locked eyes with Callie.
"Well dad, this is Callie Torres, Calliope this is my dad."
"It's very nice to meet you Colonel Robbins." Callie said as she stepped up and shook the Colonel's hand.
"Likewise."
As they all started to eat dinner, the Colonel started speaking.
"So Callie…"
"Oh no." Arizona muttered.
Callie looked at Arizona puzzled while Tim and Barbara looked like they were trying not to laugh.
"You know that if you ever hurt my little girl I will personally see to it that you never walk again."
Callie was shocked that he would make such a menacing threat. She gulped while Arizona's father just looked at her with a serious look on his face.
"Don't worry sir, I don't plan on hurting her, I care about her too much." Callie managed to say.
Arizona looked at Callie adoringly before glaring at her father.
"Okay dad, drop the act. It didn't work on her."
Tim and Barbara laughed while Callie looked on in confusion. Noticing Callie's confusion, Daniel Robbins smiled. Arizona decided to explain to Callie seeing as she was looking more confused by the second.
"Ignore him; he wasn't serious with his threat. He just likes trying to scare off my girlfriends and it usually works."
"Those girls can never respond once I threaten them and they usually never come back again." Daniel said, "But I do mean it when I say if you ever hurt my little girl, you'll regret it."
"Noted." Callie replied, trying to relax.
"So dad, how are things at the base?" Tim asked his father.
"Good, oh I just wanted to let you kids know that I heard from your Uncle Andrew and he's going to be staying here for a while. They're working on a disappearance case. He should be here next month."
Tim and Arizona cheered when they heard their favorite uncle was going to be visiting.
When they were done with dinner, Callie and Arizona headed upstairs to work on their project some more.
"So you and Tim seem to really like you uncle."
"Oh we do. He's in the FBI so we rarely get to see him but it's always fun when we do. Now let's get to work, we really need to work on our project."
It was now Friday and Callie was currently in basketball practice getting ready for their first game on Sunday. She was supposed to be working on her free throws but it was kind of hard to do that when the cheerleaders, and more importantly Arizona, were stretching. Callie couldn't help but notice how Arizona's tight tank op would rise up whenever she stretched out her arms. Arizona saw Callie looking at her and winked before turning her back to Callie and bending down to touch her toes.
Callie blushed as she proceeded to stare at Arizona's ass. She was brought out of her ogling when a basketball hit her on the back of the head. She turned around to give whoever did that a piece of her mind when she noticed her coach standing there with her hands on her hips.
"Torres you know I don't like to get involved in students' personal lives but when it starts affecting this team I have no choice. Now stop drooling over your girlfriend and get back to practice. You better not be this distracted at the game on Sunday."
Callie blushed with embarrassment. She heard laughing behind her. She turned around and saw Arizona looking at her while she laughed with Addison. Bailey noticed this too and she turned to them.
"And you, stop teasing your girlfriend! The poor girl looks like she's about to explode and I can't have my star player distracted because you couldn't keep it in your pants… or should I say skirt."
This time it was Arizona's turn to blush. By this time, everyone in the gym had stopped doing what they were supposed to be doing and were listening in on the conversation. By the end of Bailey's scolding, everyone apart from Callie and Arizona were snickering.
"Now everyone get back to work, and Robbins I've got my eye on you!"
When practice was over, Callie went to find Arizona. She found her talking outside the locker room with Lexie. Callie walked up behind Arizona and wrapped her arms around Arizona's waist.
"Hey babe, hey Little Grey." Callie said once she gave Arizona a kiss on the cheek.
Lexie grimaced at the nickname.
"I'll talk to you later Arizona." Lexie said before walking away.
Arizona turned around in Callie's arms and looked up at her.
"You know, you should really stop calling Lexie that nickname, she hates it."
"Nah, she loves it, she just doesn't want to admit it."
"That was quite a show Bailey put on during practice." Arizona said.
Callie smirked.
"Yeah, how does it feel to be on the end of Bailey's scolding?"
Arizona thought about it for a minute.
"Embarrassing."
Callie laughed.
"Yeah that sounds about right. So you want to go out tomorrow night?"
"No."
"No?"
"No."
"Why?"
"You can't go out tomorrow night." Arizona told Callie.
"What do you mean I can't go out tomorrow night?"
"Do you remember what tomorrow is?"
"Uhm… Saturday?" Callie replied not really understanding what Arizona was getting at.
"Mhm, and what do you do on Saturdays?"
Realization dawned on Callie's face.
"Come on Arizona, really?"
"Steven said you're not allowed to miss this Saturday. You should just give him a break Calliope, I know you don't like him but at least he's trying to get to know you, that's more than some step parents do, hell it's even more than some parents do."
Callie grumbled, not at all happy with it.
"Fine I'll go on the stupid bonding night with him." Callie relented.
Callie was currently sitting in the passenger seat of Steven's car waiting for him to finish getting ready. Tonight was their bonding night and Callie was less than thrilled. Actually, she would never admit it to anyone but sometimes she quite enjoyed these nights. It was the one night when Steven didn't try to act like her dad but as her friend. These nights made her forget her problems for a while, made her forget that her dad was no longer alive, and made her forgive everything Steven had done to worm his way into her family which in turn made her hate these nights after they were over when everything would come rushing back. The nights where she would forget about her dad and enjoy Steven's company made her feel conflicted.
Callie was brought out of her thoughts by Steven getting in the car.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah."
"Good, I was thinking movie and then after we can get some pizza. Keep it simple, I don't want to wear you out the night before your first game and I'm pretty sure Coach Bailey will kill me if you showed up tired tomorrow."
Once the movie was done, they walked to a pizza place near the movie theater. They ordered their pizza and sat down.
"So Callie, how are things with Arizona?"
Callie smiled like every time she did whenever she thought of Arizona.
"They're great. I really like her."
"Yeah, I could tell by the way you two acted around each other last week."
They went on to talk about school, basketball, and Callie's friends before heading back home. Callie went to bed that night glad that the night had gone great but immediately frowning. She knew that by this time tomorrow night, she would be back to hating Steven until the next Saturday night they'll hang out.
AN: So my sister just joined the Peace Corps and she's moving to Peru for two years which sucks because out of my whole family, she's the one I'm closest to. She's leaving next week and everyone in my family, including aunts, uncles, and cousins, are each going to write her a letter so she can read them in Peru and I still haven't written one. I have no idea what to write but I'm sure I'll think of something. I like debated coming out to her in the letter... well kind of because I'm not sure if I'm exactly what I am since I've never really like anyone but I don't know if I am going to do it. Anyway, enough of my rambling. I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter :)
