"It gets better..."Callie went on. "We're not picking Abbey back up tonight. My abuela is gona take her to school tomorrow. I also told Bailey that you needed a holiday booked for tomorrow as I was taking you out and you wouldn't be fit for work in the morning. So right now, we're gona go home to an empty house with our bottle of wine and were gona celebrate properly.

Chapter 21
The next day, the newly engaged couple spent the majority of the morning in bed. They literally couldn't get enough of one another. At the age of 36, Arizona was finally engaged to be married. She never realised just how great a feeling that could be...until she met a woman that she literally couldn't imagine ever being without.
Her attraction to the Latina had been evident from the very first time they'd met. It hadn't been love at first sight. It had been pure, unadulterated lust. Her beauty had been unquestionable. Even the red hot anger she'd received from crashing into her had been a turn on. But then, as she got to know the woman better, she had found she had absolutely no control over how her heart was feeling. She fell hard and even though she knew Callie was going through a life changing ordeal, she had hoped that her neighbour would one day, feel the same.
Sweat glistened over hot, naked skin. Short moans and gasps of pleasure sounded in the room along with the rhythmical squeaking of springs in the mattress. Arizona's right hand was clasped firmly beneath Callie's left butt cheek, pulling her impossibly closer. Her hips moved relentlessly against the thigh nestled between her legs. A hand was around the back of her neck, another firmly grasping her ass helping to bring her once more to that euphoric state of satisfaction.
"Oh shit" she growled, the feeling inside becoming more and more intense. Her thighs squeezed the one between her own while she continued to thrust her hips down, over and over again. "Yes. Yes. I'm.." Her hips thrust faster still as her orgasm began to peak. "Oh fuck. I'm...yes, thats it!"
Callie pulled the blonde into her as another climax claimed her body. She squeezed the other woman's ass, pulling her down more firmly, wanting her to ride out the orgasm for as long as possible. She revelled in the groans of pleasure spilling from her partners mouth.
As the moments passed, Arizona's grinding hips slowed until finally, she came down from her high. Her sweaty body slumped down on top of the vets. She attempted to talk, but whatever she said was completely unintelligible.
Callie laughed, causing the body on top of her to bounce slightly. "What was that?"
After a few moments of steadying her breathing, the blonde rolled off the body beneath to lay flat on her back. "I said I think I'm broken now."
Callie leaned over, peppering her sweaty face with kisses. "You're like a machine. We've had sex all night and all morning and still you wanted one more go."
Arizona's head turned to look into brown eyes. "I can't get enough. You're my fiancé now and I'm literally addicted to having sex with you." The smile she received from the Latina caused her heart to flutter. "Do you realise that every time you smile at me like that, I fall in love with you just that little bit more?"
That caused the smile to grow even wider. "Yea?" She watched the blonde nod before she moved her body to lie over the doctors. "Well do you realise that every time you say stuff like that to me, it makes me want to do this.." Her hand squeezed between the other woman's leg and without giving the doctor a moment to even think, she slid 2 fingers deep into her flooded core.

A couple of hours later and the couple had finally peeled themselves from bed, showered and headed out to the diner for lunch, seeing as breakfast time had come and gone. They'd brought Pops along so it meant they had to sit outside, which wasn't as issue seeing as it was a beautiful day.
Settling themselves at a table on the end, it wasn't long before Meredith came out to greet them. "Afternoon guys" she smiled. "No work today?"
The couple looked at one another before Arizona spoke. "It seems Callie had taken care of securing me the day off today on account of we got engaged lastnight..." She grinned, holding up her left hand to show off her ring.
Meredith brought her hands together excitedly. "Hey Yang, get out here. " she shouted over her shoulder. She looked back at them. "That's fantastic news. That ring is amazing."
A few moments later Cristina came out of the diner. "You hollered?"
Meredith cocked her head to Callie and Arizona. "Look what we have here.."
Looking at their friends sat at the table, Cristina frowned before Arizona held up her hand. The Asian woman's mouth dropped open before she grinned widely, pumping the air with her fist. "Oh yes. Come on. Did you guys get engaged lastnight?"
Callie nodded and looked at her excited friend. "You had another bet on, didn't you?"
"We totally did and I called it. I said you'd propose on Arizona's birthday. Oh man, I still got it!"
Arizona shook her head and laughed. "You guys really will bet on anything."
Cristina had stopped listening and had her head on the side. "Maybe I need to start putting the lottery on.." She received a playful shove on the shoulder from Meredith. "What?" She looked at the newly engaged couple. "Oh. Yea, congratulations and whatever. Do you want food?"
With their order taken, the vet and doctor were left to talk amongst themselves. As time passed, people stopped to talk and were thrilled to hear the news of the engagement. Teddy came walking along the sidewalk, pushing Ben along in his buggy. She sat down and ended up joining the 2 women for lunch.
"You should have an engagement party at the saloon."
"Maybe. We don't need to have a fuss made" Arizona told her friend. "You and Owen didn't have one..."
"Yea but he knocked me up so we more decided together that we should get engaged" Teddy laughed. "It wasn't this whole romantic proposal thing that you 2 had."
Arizona smiled contently. "It was pretty romantic..." She brought her hand over and laced her fingers with the Latina's.
Teddy watched on with a smile. "So have you thought about when you want to get married or where?"
"We haven't discussed anything yet. We more or less just celebrate last night..." Callie said, giving a knowing smile to the blonde.
"...and a bit this morning.. " Arizona added before laughing.
"Alright, bordering on too much information, guys" Teddy laughed.
"There's no rush" Arizona continued "We'll start to plan the where, when and how in time. For now, I'm happy to just bask in the glow of being engaged."
"Have you told your parents yet?"
Arizona's eyes went wide. "Oh. Oops?" She laughed. "I guess I should really give them a call. Mom's gona be over the moon. She's besotted with Callie and even more so Abbey."
"Especially after your brother and Amy had another boy" Callie added with a laugh.
Arizona nodded before laughing. After suffering a miscarriage over a year ago, Arizona's brothers wife had fallen pregnant a few month later and had recently given birth to a healthy baby boy. "Yep. 3 boys but at least she has Abbey now and who knows, maybe in time there'll be some more pitter patter of tiny feet." Her eyes looked hopefully to her fiancè.
Callie smiled back at her. "You'd make beautiful babies."
"I call godmother" Teddy said excitedly.
Arizona nodded to her friend. "Well I guess that's only fair seeing as I'm this little guys Godmother" she said, making a fuss over Ben who was sat quietly in his buggy.
"As long as Mark gets to be the Godfather, that's fine by me" Callie added.
"Speaking of Mark" Teddy started. "Are he and Addison still bullshitting us that they're not together?"
"Apparently so. Even though I see her going up the hill to his farmhouse several times a week from the window at the back of work. I'm planning on having dinner with her one night this week so maybe I'll do some digging."
"I wish they'd just come out already!"
"Absolutely. It's always better to be out and proud" Callie smiled.
"Amen, sister" Arizona added with a grin.

"I mean it's a big responsibility to take on but I think I could do it."
Callie looked at the redhead as if to say no shit. "Ofcourse you could. You're such a great people person and you're great with the kids. Plus, you care about the direction of the school. You've said it yourself in recent months, you've always taken the lead and suggested ways of changing things for the better at Angel Manor. Being vice principal, you would have the power to actually implement it. You should totally go for it."
The principal of Angel Manor was retiring in a couple of month, with the current vice principle set to step up and take his place. That left the role of vice principle open to other teachers in the school. For the last couple of days, Addison had been mulling over whether or not to apply for it.
"I guess there's no harm in applying and going from there. I mean, there's other teachers that have been there alot longer than me.."
"Doesn't mean that they're more qualified for the role, Addy."
Addison nodded. "I know, you're right. I'm gona go for it. What's to lose?"
"Precisely" Callie replied before taking a few gulps of her pepsi. It was time for her to do some digging. "Sooo, shall we talk about you and Mark now?" She shot a smirk over the table.
Addison rolled her eyes. She knew this would crop up at some point tonight. "Oh here we go. This old chestnut."
"Come on Addy, you can't deny you're spending loads of time together."
"Not loads..."
Callie put her head on the side. "Please...I've seen your car go up that hill to his house almost everyday for the last few months."
The redhead chewed on the inside of her mouth. "OK, so we've been hanging out a bit more."
Callie's eyebrow got higher. "Come on Addy. I'm your best friend. You can tell me this stuff.."
After a few moments thought, the teacher sighed. "I'm scared. I'm scared to admit that maybe were more than friends or eachothers fuck-buddy."
"Why?"
"You know what my marriage was like. It was all fun and loving at the start but when we became serious and got married, he changed. I can't go through that again Callie."
The Latina looked at her friend sadly. She brought her hand across the table, engulfing the redheads. "I can't imagine how you felt being with David. Being controlled, put down, manipulated and abused, for so many years. I know it's easy for me to say this to you but not all men are like that. You know Mark. He is not that kind of man. He would never raise a hand to a woman. We both know that behind that façade he likes to flaunt about, he has the sweetest, most faithful and loving soul of any man I've ever known."
Addison nodded as she listened to her friend. "He does."
"We both also know he's besotted with you."
"He wants to make us official. He's not pressuring me or anything, he just..."
Callie smiled and finished her sentence for her. "He just wants to shout it from the rooftops that he's with you. Ofcourse he does. He's liked you since the moment you came into town over 3 years ago, Addy. He was fine being a bit of sex to you but I knew he always hoped for more."
Addison nodded again. "Honestly, I'd like more too. I look at you and Arizona and where you guys are at. You've been through such a massive ordeal and you managed to find love and happiness again. I actually think you're happier than I've ever seen you." The Latina matched her smile. "I'm so happy for you but also a bit envious."
Callie looked at her determinedly. "You could have that too Addison. You just have to open yourself up to the possibility of it."

With Callie having a catch up with Addison, Arizona had invited Teddy and April around for a girly night. When Abbey had told the blonde she'd like to bake cakes, the adults had all jumped at the suggestion and for the last hour, the woman had cracked eggs, mixed the ingredients and divided the mixture into bases before putting them into the oven to rise. While they waited, they sat at the kitchen table engrossed in gossip.
"I look at you guys and I can't help but be so jealous" April confessed. "I've been with Matthew 5 years and still I'm ringless and childless. What am I doing wrong?"
The other 2 looked at their friend apologetically. "You're not doing anything wrong April" Arizona assured her. "Have you talked with him about it?"
"We talked about it a couple of years ago. At least, I said how much I loved the thought of being married and having a family. I don't remember him saying much."
"You could always propose to him.." Teddy told her.
The red head scoffed. "Me propose to him? That's a terrible idea. I wouldn't get through the first sentence without balling my eyes out."
"You could always make it a fun proposal. Nothing too deep and emotional. Like a flash mob or something."
They all laughed at the thought of a flash mob turning up outside of Matthews police station. "Oh sure and we could all dress up in prison outfits" April joked.
"Hey that's not a bad idea.." Arizona laughed. "It'd definitely make it memorable."
April shook her head but laughed. "It does sound fun but no. I think I'll just wait and see if he ever gets the courage to do it himself. Maybe you 2 could help by throwing the bouquet from your weddings in my general direction. You know...a subtle hint."
"We can definitely do that." Arizona told her.
Teddy shook her head. "Imagine if Ben proposes to Miranda soon and then there could be 3 weddings in town?"
"And Mark and Addison if they ever come out and admit they're actually together" Arizona added.
"You see" April exclaimed. "It's wedding fever and I want in on the action."
The egg timer went off and Teddy moved to open the oven. "Remember the only reason Owen and I got engaged was because of Ben." she cocked her head over to her the little boy who was in his bouncy chair which was atop the kitchen table.
As if hearing his name, Ben started to stir from his nap. " Hey big guy" Arizona cooed. Reaching out she unbuckled the belt secured around him and lifted him out of the chair. She bounced the fussing boy lightly in her right arm. It wasn't long before Abbey came over to the blonde and the baby. She lay her little hand on his chest and patted him lightly. "There there" the little girl said. "Don't cry baby."
Arizona grinned over at April who was watching on with a look of pure love on her face. The blonde brought her left arm up and wrapped it around Abbey's shoulders. "You're gona make a super big sister one day, aren't you Abs?" She leant in, kissing the girls head. She looked back at the baby and couldn't stop thinking of how good this felt.
"Feeling broody?"
The blonde looked up to Teddy who was stood by the oven with a smirk on her face. A smile spread across her own face. She couldn't deny it. Looking back to the baby and the little girl in her arms, there was definitely no denying it. She was ready to have a baby. "I think I am."
