Chapter 14

Arizona looked up as Callie turned towards her. Callie was positively beaming at her. Arizona noted everything about the gorgeous face in front of her. Callie had on a light coat of makeup that did its job at enhancing the beauty of the Latina. Her hair was swept away from her face and held in place by a white veil. Arizona let her blue eyes travel down Callie's radiant face pass her heart stopping smile on to her attire.

Before her stood Callie in the most gorgeous white wedding dress. The dress did everything to outline every sexy curve in her body. The plunging neckline accentuated perky breast that Arizona had always loved to admire.

Arizona gazed down at her hands as she held two bouquets of flowers not paying much attention to the fact but rather her own self being incased in a flowing wedding gown. She almost instinctively reached for her hand and unwound the ring she had unconsciously been twirling. Her eyes glazed over as she saw Callie's hand extend towards her to accepted the ring she was holding.

Arizona thought that this was it. This was what she wanted her life to look like, this is exactly what she wanted in her future. To share every waking morning of her life with this woman, to be Callie's wife. Her blue eyes sparkled as she gazed up with the expectancy of meeting Callie's gaze. But her eyes were only confronted with Callie's tanned back, which the dress had left exposed.

Her eyes widened with horror as her gazed flitted to the image in front of her. Callie had turned to face a grinning Mark Sloan. Arizona could basically count all thirty-two teeth in his mouth. She watched in pure shock as Callie slid the ring on his finger and noticed her cheeks round out, a true testament of the smile on her face.

Arizona gaze left the couple and peered out at the rest of the wedding's patrons. Bailey looked so happy. Kepner was taking pictures while Chief Webber looked on. Derek was Mark's best man with Karev and Avery and Owen behind him. Evidently she was Callie's maid of honor with Cristina and Meredith and Lexie behind her. This could not be happening why was everyone just letting this happen.

The priest looked at the adoring couple before stating, "You may now kiss the bride." Arizona dropped the bouquet and ran before she even had chance to see the two kiss. Then everything went dark and she felt her surroundings change to Mark's apartment.

The first thing she noticed was the audible moans coming from the kitchen. She listened to the piercing distinguishable sounds of two people caught in the act of having sex. She dared not peek as she felt her legs give out from under her as she heard Callie scream out and Mark grunt in reply. She wept, she felt her tears burn a hot trail down her face.

"Arizona!"

Her head shot up as she heard orgasmic Callie calling her name. "Arizona!"She wanted to respond but words were lost to her. "Arizona wake up! Arizona!"

Arizona snapped up with a jerk. She felt the sweat drenching her body and the tell-tell signs of tears that she had no doubt spilled in her sleep. Her eyes opened to a startled Callie who was still decked out in her scrubs, looking at her with unbridled concern.

"Arizona? Are you okay?" Callie asked as she raised a hand cautiously toward Arizona before bringing it within an inch of her hand on the bed. Callie was beyond startled.

After their lunch earlier that day the two had separated so Callie could get back to work. When her shift had ended later in the day, she had returned to the blonde's room to find her asleep. Since the Portia incident yesterday the two had been making some progress. So she decided to go to sleep in Arizona's room. Now less than three hours after falling asleep Arizona had awaking her turning and groaning in her sleep.

Arizona could hardly look at Callie. She felt so many emotions, all of them irrational since she knew that it was only a dream but she felt it nonetheless. She felt betrayal that dream Callie married dream Mark and she hated herself because she had felt so helpless through it all, nothing like the good man in the storm she proclaimed to be. She felt huge tears roll down her face as she just let all those emotions consume her.

Callie, never one to like to see Arizona cry, lowered the railing on the bed and wrapped her arms around Arizona. Arizona shocked herself that she didn't flinch but she didn't have the courage to fight it. Callie peppered kisses over Arizona's head. "Arizona, talk to me. Tell me what happened, what did you dream that caused all of this."

Arizona turned and buried her face in Callie's neck and mumbled a reply that Callie couldn't quite understand. Callie looked down at a unfamiliar fragile Arizona in her arms. "Sweetie you're going to have to speak up because I have no idea what you just said."

Sighing Arizona relinquished, letting tears fall as she looked at Callie, "You and Mark got married with rings and flowers and grinning. And then you had sex. I know you didn't but I can't, I can't erase it. I want so badly to but I can't."

"Arizona me and Mark are not married nor would we ever. And we most certainly are not having sex."

"I know that but Callie it looked so real and you two looked so happy together. I felt so helpless as you two exchanged vows…."

"No Arizona, me and Mark would never be in that position. I don't love him, at least not like love love."

"What about the sex Calliope because you and I both know that you two have found yourselves in that situation on more than one occasion." Arizona threw at her, not intending to put so much anger and bitterness into her tone.

Looking around the room, Callie tried to think of something to say. "Arizona – I love you and I apologize for putting you in a position where…."

"No don't apologize, you didn't put us me here. I put us here. If I had just talked to you about why I had to go and why I couldn't force you to…."Arizona quipped cutting Callie off, trying to erase her previous emotion filled statement.

"No. This is not because of that. If I hadn't been acting passive aggressive about the trip and just told you the truth there wouldn't be all of this. I just couldn't Arizona, you were so happy and I did not want to be the one to end that happiness."

"I was happy to go and save lives but I would have died if somewhere down the road you hated me for taking you away from your life, your career, and your family. It hurt so much to make that decision but….I couldn't see any other option."

"Arizona this is something we have to work on. The not communicating and the stubbornness, that is our problem not just you but the both of us. I would have never hated you because I love you too much for that."

Sniffling Arizona stared deeply into Callie's eyes, she saw nothing but love and honesty in those deep chocolate orbs. Callie lifted a hand and wiped a stray tear off of Arizona's cheek. Letting her hand linger on the blonde's chaw.

"I would never marry Mark, Arizona. I am hopelessly in love with you, even when I thought I hated you I knew the only reason the feeling was so potent was because I still cared. I never stopped loving you. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and fix this for the both of us but I can't. All I can do is promise you for as long as I live I will dedicate my life to loving you. I love you Arizona Robbins with all that I am and all that I can ever hope to be. You complete me and I hope that we can work through this, I pray that we can." Callie finished barely above a whisper with a few tears sprinkling down her cheeks.

Arizona grabbed Callie's hand that had been stroking her chaw during her entire speech. "That dream I had scared me Calliope. I hated the thought of you being married to anyone else but me. I want that with you Calliope. I need that with you. We have a lot to work past but I will achieve my dream with you, as my wife, and our ten kids with a big house filled with dogs and chickens." Arizona finished with a grin on her face.

Callie couldn't help but laugh, "You and these chickens again? Moron." Callie leaned in and captured the blonde's lips with her own. Not registering that this is the first time in a while that they have shared these kinds of kisses, Arizona moved closer while being mindful of her leg.

Callie wrapped her hand across Arizona's waist, while Arizona tangled hers in Callie's hair. The two took their time re-exploring each other's lips. Callie swiped her tongue out to wipe across Arizona's bottom lip. Releasing a moan, Arizona opened her mouth instinctively following an old ritual the two had perfected. Not one to disappoint, Callie stuck her tongue inside to reacquaint itself with Arizona's. The kiss was unrushed and carried an air of gentleness as they tried to convey the love they shared and the conviction they had to restore it to its former glory.

Slowly the two broke apart sharing quick pecks before finally breaking apart completely. Both eyes were gleaming with love and hope for the future. Bracing their foreheads together they stared into each other's eyes.

Arizona was the first to break the silence. "I love you too, Calliope."

Without another word, Arizona shuffled over in the bed and indicated for Callie to lay down beside her. She rested her head on the brunette's shoulder and listened to the steady rhythm of her girlfriend's strong heartbeat.

"It beats that way for you and only you, don't ever forget that again."

"After today I don't ever think I will. Good night Calliope"

"Good night, Arizona."
