A/N: I'm writing this story the way I'm feeling it. Also you've been asking for this so here it is. I'm not really sure what legally happens with surrogacy because even though I did a lot of research no one seems to be talking about. Thank you for the patience, school's a mess at the moment.


Callie finished placing the last sheet that was in the house on the pillow fort she and Arizona was making. Well actually Arizona was sitting inside with Elena while Callie was doing most of the work. It was only after dinner and now that at 3 months old Elena didn't sleep all the time anymore they decided to watch a Disney movie with her. Callie climbed inside and smiled. It was cozy and perfect. Elena was half sitting on Arizona's lap, soft pillow supporting her head and back. "Did you put in the movie?"

"I did. Do you want me to press play?" At Callie nod she pressed a button on the remote and leaned her head against Callie's shoulder. When she was younger she used to make pillow forts with Tim and dad for movie nights. Even though she more times than not ended up falling asleep instead of watching the movie. She stroked Elena's soft hair. She didn't want her to be alone. She wanted Elena to have a sibling somewhere down the rode. And when her eyes turned to Callie she hoped it would be with her. But a part of her was sure it was a terrible idea. The last time she wanted to have a baby she ended up alone. But then again it was also the best thing that has happened to her. If Julie didn't leave she wouldn't be here with Callie. Instead she would suffer through the relationship for Elena's sake.

Callie brushed some of Arizona's hair and pressed a gentle kiss against her temple. They have still been so careful around each other, their moves never turning sexual. And a part of Callie loved that they were able to connect emotionally but there was also the very horny part of her. Callie hasn't had sex in over a year. She blushed as she thought about it.

"What are you thinking about?" Arizona asked, seeing a blush spread down Callie's neck. She had a tiny idea of what the gorgeous Latina was thinking about and she couldn't really blame her.

"Nothing," Callie squeaked out. The sound of her voice made Elena try to turn her head but when she didn't quite manage because of her position and she cried out for attention. "Hey there little one," she said, glad that Elena stole the attention away from her.

Elena smiled and a bit of drool came out of her mouth as she let out a sound.

"You're just too cute huh?" Callie cooed and grabbed a soft towel they used for drool and vomit situations.

Arizona saw Elena reached out for Callie so she passed her the baby. "I don't know why we chose to do this, she doesn't even want to watch the movie. Do you princess?" She shook her head to answer for Elena.

"I think you just wanted to watch the movie," Callie teased and laughed causing Elena to smile along. "Right Ellie? Your mommy is so silly." They haven't really discussed the situation of what Callie was to Elena either. A doorbell rang, startling all of them. "Are you expecting anyone?"

Arizona shook her head. "Are you?"

"No," Callie replied. "It's your house though," she said and laughed when Arizona hesitantly moved away from the comfortable pillow fort they created. "And we're gonna watch the movie won't we?" She settled Elena against her chest so she was able to see the screen.

Arizona opened the door and ran her hand through her hair. "Uhm hi," she said slightly confused. She didn't know the woman standing in front of her.

"Hi. Is this doctor Arizona Robbin's house?"

"Yes. I'm doctor Robbins," Arizona replied politely.

The woman nodded and looked down at the file she was holding. "I'm Dana Wilson from Social services." Arizona felt a knot forming in her throat. She knew she was putting off the papers for Callie's sake and it looked like that was about to kick her in her butt. "I'm here because Frank, from the clinic you and your partner used, sent me to check on you. There are still papers that haven't been signed and we're a little concern."

Arizona nodded. "Yeah. Come on in." She opened the door wider. "I'm.. Me and my partner at the time broke up," she managed to get out.

"Oh." Dana wrote something down. "So what happened?" Arizona laughed nervously. She had no idea how to say this. "I'm not here to judge. I can tell that you're tense. It's a check up. We're not taking your baby away from you."

Arizona breathed a sigh of relief and she felt her muscles relax. "Would you like anything to drink first?" she offered. She lead Dana in the kitchen, both of their eyes scanning the pillow fort but for different reasons. Arizona knew Callie was hiding in there and wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon.

"Uhm sure," the other woman replied. She found it quite adorable that Arizona had a pillow fort in the middle of her living room. "Just water though."

Arizona poured a glass of water and passed it to her. "So what do you want to know?"

Dana looked through her file. "Just tell me everything and I'll tell you what's needed and what won't be."

Arizona sat down and took a deep breath. "It was just a few months before the birth and Julie, my former partner., told me she had the opportunity to go to Africa. She's a writer and there she would write a couple of books. But she would leave for 3 years. And during the fight I guess she realized she never wanted this. So I gave her a clean break and never looked back."

"And then what happened? Because while that makes sense about never sending the set of adoption papers for the second parent but what about the fact that the surrogate mother you used, Callie, still hasn't signed hers either. She still has full custody of the child."

A bright blush covered Arizona's cheeks. "This is a little hard to explain and I know it's gonna sound bizarre but we requested for the surrogate mother to live here and after Julie left, Callie and I grew closer. You could say she was my best friend at the time." She gulped knowing what part was coming. "And I guess during that time... I.. We," Arizona stuttered, awkwardly. She felt her heart pace speed up. When Dana cleared her throat, encouraging her to continue Arizona finally found the courage to mutter some words. "We might be dating." Arizona felt like an idiot. She said we might be dating. She shook her head and sighed.

"That's quite a story," the woman said and laughed. When she noticed the look on Arizona's face she tried to hold back her laughter. "Well I might say that this is a very unique situation and we've never dealt with anything like this before. So you're saying that you and the surrogate mother,..."

"Callie," Arizona corrected. She hated to think of Callie as just a surrogate mother.

"Callie," the woman repeated. "You're saying that you and Callie are romantically involved?"

Arizona nodded. "I know. It's dumb. And complicated. But it just happened. And that's why we're dreading to do the paperwork because it means we have to leave our pretty pink bubble and face the reality," she rambled. "But Callie's great. And Elena is the most perfect baby I've ever seen. And I see a lot of babies."

Dana only wrote something down and Arizona couldn't quite make it out. "And are you positive that this relationship might work out? Because one day either of you might wake up and realize that maybe men are better after all." It's not that she was curious but it was her job to investigate and figure out the exact situation they're in.

"I've been a lesbian my whole life," Arizona defended herself. "And I know Callie is bisexual and that she was with men before and I'm only the second woman she has been with. Not sexually though. We haven't done that yet." Arizona blushed when she realized how much she has just said but continued talking. "And she was willing to commit her whole life before to another woman and I trust her. And she's amazing with Elena. It's not just me anymore and I have to look after my child and I think that this could work." She took a deep breath. "Because Callie's kind of amazing. I mean she was willing to have a baby. And then give it to someone else. Not many people would do that." When Arizona finished she realized just how obsessed she sounded. She shrugged sheepishly to get rid of the embarrassed feeling.

Dana couldn't help but smile. "Well that's a wonderful way to put it. So Callie is still living here I assume." Arizona nodded. "So where is she?"

"Right here," Callie called from the door frame. She didn't plan on eavesdropping but when they moved to the kitchen she's got very curious and couldn't help but wonder who the other woman was and what she wanted. She might had to admit she was even a little jealous. She was holding Elena in her arms. Arizona mostly dressed her in pink and now that she grew out of her newborn clothes she was more than happy to buy new ones. So Elena was dressed in a cute pink long sleeved t-shirt that said 'baby girl' and brown pants with pink dots.

"There's my girl," Arizona said, smiling at Elena and taking her in her arms. The baby smiled back and tried to shove her whole hand inside her mouth.

Callie awkwardly put out her hand. "Callie Torres," she said.

"Dana Wilson," the woman replied, shaking Callie's hand. "So I heard a lot about you. And since I came here for one problem only, I just want to say.. Please do the paperwork. You can just go to Frank's clinic and sign what you need to there." When Callie and Arizona looked at each other in uncertainty she added "and no one has to give up any rights to the little girl. Just talk to Frank."

Arizona nodded. "Thank you so much for stopping by. It was nice meeting you." She said her goodbye to Dana and then Callie did. She let out a sigh after the front door closed.

"You okay?" Callie asked.

Arizona nodded. "I am, I just.. I got a little scared."

Callie stepped closer, one hand holding Elena's wiggly foot, the other one simply by her side. "Why?"

"When she introduced herself, for a second I thought she was here to take Elena away from me. I mean I know we've been putting off everything because of what happened so I thought she was here to take her away." She nuzzled in Elena's soft hair.

"Arizona," Callie said softly. "No one will take Elena away from you. Because even if something would happen to me after the birth you would get full rights to her. I had to sign a paper that said that when I decided to do this."

Arizona leaned her cheek on top of Elena's head and looked at Callie. "When you were in the operating room for c-section and you started crashing I felt empty. And I was so scared. Because I literally thought I wouldn't see you again after that. And then Addison ordered me to leave with Elena and I just sat there. And she was so tiny then that I didn't even wanna hold her because I thought I would break her." Arizona has never told anyone that before. She hated admitting how weak she felt in that moment even though she has just got a child and should be happy. "I don't think I would have made it alone."

Callie pulled Arizona and Elena in her arms. "I think you would have. You're an amazing mom. And Elena loves you. And I think you would have a great job on your own as well."

Arizona nodded, but didn't believe the words quite yet. "What if in 15 years she asks me how I came to a decision that I wanted a child and I'll tell her about Julie and how she practically left her. She's gonna be devastated."

"She doesn't have to know," Callie stated.

"But I don't ever wanna lie to her," Arizona said and looked down at Elena. The baby was perfectly happy being squashed between her two favorite people. Elena smiled when Arizona's eyes met hers.

Callie chuckled. "You don't have to. And she would never be mad at her. I can see her growing into this incredible young lady. And following her mom's footsteps into surgery."

"Do you really see that?" Arizona asked surprised. She hasn't thought much about what her future would be like now that she had Elena. Her focus was to keep the baby happy.

"Mhm," Callie murmured. "So why don't we call Addie and we can go to the agency and sign all the papers that we have to sign?"

Arizona nodded but then nervously licked her lips. "Callie," she called out, to get her attention. "I don't want you to give away your rights." Callie looked at her surprised. "I don't know where we're going. And it terrifies me. But maybe I don't have to worry."

Callie knew that with those words Arizona meant that maybe they could last. She didn't know what to say so instead she leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on Arizona's lips. Arizona's smile turned dreamy and it made Callie's stomach flutter. "Okay," she whispered.

Arizona adored how Callie's cheeks turned just a shade pinker. "I'll go call the agency and see if we can get a meeting and you call Addison."

"Yes ma'am," Callie replied teasingly and took Elena in her arms. "Let's go call Addison, Ellie." She noticed the yawn that scaped the baby's lips and how her bottom seemed full. She knew she only had a few minutes before a crying baby. Callie picked up her phone and pressed Addison's name. She heard her answer and smiled. "Hey."

"Oh hi Cal," Addison replied. "How did I earn the pleasure of this phone call?"

Callie rolled her eyes. "Arizona and I have some things to do so I was wondering if you're free to come over and watch Ellie."

"Oh, I'm always free to spend time with Elena. What things are you and Arizona gonna do?" she wondered.

"I'll explain later."

Addison laughed. "Of course you will. See you in ten." Since returning from LA Addison lived briefly in the hotel before she found an apartment not far from the hospital.

Callie threw her phone on the couch and took Elena upstairs in the baby's room. "It's nap time baby. Yes, it is." She placed Elena on the changing table and quickly changed her diaper. At first she was surprised by a few poop explosions but now she and Arizona found it mostly funny. What Elena was wearing was comfortable enough and since the baby ate before they sat down to watch the movie she knew the nap would last for couple of hours. "There's your binky," Callie said softly and placed Elena in her crib. She put the pacifier in her mouth and Elena wrapped her hands around the plush animal. "Sweet dreams little one," Callie whispered and kissed her forehead.

"I called and they said we can be there in half an hour," Arizona said quietly. She's been watching Callie put Elena down for her nap and she loved how caring Callie was.

Callie pressed a button on the baby monitor to turn it on and then left Elena's room. They used to rock Elena to sleep but now she was learning how to fall asleep on her own. "That's great. Addie will be here in a few."

"So what really are we going to do there?" Callie asked. She briefly remembered what Frank told her at the beginning but somehow since birth nothing was going the way it should.

Arizona gave her a little shrug. "I don't really know." She heard a soft knock on the door.

"That's probably Addison," Callie said, following Arizona to the front door. Arizona opened the door and they both smiled at the red head. "Hi Addie," Callie said and pulled her in a hug.

Addison laughed. "You opened the door like an old married couple," she teased once she finally got out of Callie's grip.

Arizona and Callie both ignored the comment. "Elie just went down for her nap so if she wakes up before we're back just give her a bottle. The formula is on the counter next to the bottle warmer. There're a few bottles in the fridge with breast milk but we keep those for breakfast and dinner. But if she refuses to eat just put her down on prop and play mat or in her baby bouncer," Arizona rambled.

Addison laughed. "I think I got it. So what's the occasion?"

"We've got to go but I'll explain later," Callie said.

Addison huffed. "I just wanna know," she mumbled to herself because the other women were already at the front door, ready to leave. "Have fun," she yelled after them.

Callie laughed. "She's quite something."

"How did you become friends with her?" Arizona wondered.

"Well I think we bonded over our mutual unhappiness in relationships. And at first she didn't really like me, I think. Mostly because I saved Meredith's ass by taking the panties from the board. But then we started getting along and we both loved to make fun of Sloan. She's a great friend and I really missed her while she was away," Callie said honestly.

Arizona nodded, understanding. They were both sitting in the car now. "I miss my brother a lot lately. I've got used to him being gone. Which is sad. And I'm scared that one day I'll just forget him," Arizona talked while driving. "But ever since Elena smiled for the first time I keep thinking about how many great moments I had with Tim. He mostly got me into trouble and hurt but he was the best older brother I could wish for. And I want Elena to have a sibling one day. Because growing up alone would be just terrible."

"I know. I have a sister," Callie confessed.

"What?"

"We're not really close. I mean when we were kids I guess we were but we grew apart. Her name's Aria and I haven't heard from her since she found out about me dating a female. I think she's mostly just busy though. The last time I spoke to her she said something about traveling through Europe and Asia." Callie didn't feel like she was missing anything in her life. But she wanted to change her relationship with Aria.

Arizona was speechless. "Wow," she whispered. Callie didn't say anything afterwards so they drove in silence. Arizona parked the car in front of the agency. She got out and rushed to open the door for Callie as well.

"Thank you," Callie said, flashing Arizona her smile.

"You're quite welcome," Arizona replied. She grinned as they entered together and walked towards the front desk. "Hi, I'm Arizona Robbins and I have an appointment."

The male behind the counter nodded. "Yes. Just turn left and then enter the first door on the right. Mister Frank isn't available at the moment but we have everything prepared."

Arizona nodded. "Thank you." She followed the guy's instructions and softly knocked on the door. When she heard a faint "come in" she entered.

Callie took a deep breath. She felt like she was going to get judged because of the sudden relationship with Arizona. They sat down and papers were placed in front of them. Callie picked up the pen and then started reading through it.

Arizona was more hesitant though. She chewed on her lower lip for a while. "I don't want to," she started.

"Oh, Dana explained the situation," one of the staff members said. "We've edited the papers a little so it fits your situation. Nothing signed is permanent though. The papers will be sent to the local judge dealing with family law. But with your situation I think it's gonna be approved and you won't even have to come to the court. Just keep an eye on the mail."

Arizona nodded and saw Callie sign the papers. She licked her lips and read through it a little before signing as well. She felt better knowing that the baby was still hers and Callie's. Even though she was mentioned as a mom to baby and Callie was still just Callie. And Arizona wanted to fix this. Maybe she could have a family she always wanted.
