A/N: I'm glad you all liked the previous chapter and I hope you will enjoy this one too.

After ten days of complaining and nagging at all the nurses and doctors Arizona was finally able to go home. Although she wasn't allowed to step on her foot yet and wouldn't be for a while. Arizona's leg was in a brace and it was hard to move around it. So crutches were once again her new friends, although with an addition of a wheelchair because she couldn't hop everywhere with a pair of crutches. Callie volunteered to look after Arizona for the next few weeks which meant that for that period of time Arizona was moving in her apartment, because it had no stairs and the apartment building had an elevator, along with Josh and Oreo of course. So with Sofia's approval she rearranged her bedroom so that now Josh had his own bed too. The guest room was set up for Arizona to sleep in if she was going to be too uncomfortable in her bed. "You ready?" Callie asked.

Arizona glared at her. "I can't move with this giant thing," she complained pointing at her immobilized leg.

Callie helped Arizona on the wheel chair which didn't help. "I know, it sucks. But it's a hospital protocol that you have to leave in a wheel chair and honestly, it's easier to move around in it instead of crutches. For now anyway."

"No thank you," Arizona replied. She wasn't mad at Callie. She was just frustrated with herself and the truck driver that crashed into her stupid car. "I need to buy a new car."

"We'll get to that once you can walk," Callie pointed out. "And I know you're going to argue with me but right now I'm telling you as a doctor so do not dare to step down on that foot for a month. Not until it's healed and I can clear you for more than bending your leg while laying down."

Arizona nodded. "I won't do anything that would jeopardize my chances of recovering faster." She let herself be wheeled out of the hospital, though she was slightly shielding her face from the other people. There was no way other people were going to see her being wheeled out of the hospital. Although the pain medication was still strong and she was still on antibiotics they weren't as strong and she didn't have to sleep all the time.

Callie moved Arizona on the backseats where she was able to keep her leg elevated and put the crutches on the floor. She folded the wheelchair and put it in the trunk. She knew Arizona and that the blonde was going to argue with her and used crutches for the first few days until her other leg will start to hurt and she'll get tired. "Josh, Sofia and your mom are in my apartment waiting for you. Your dad said he had to leave early to take care of his house and garden."

"Dad doesn't like to be away for too long. And he doesn't trust his neighbors," Arizona said and laughed. She propped her back with a pillow so she was leaning against the car door. She was feeling a little uncertain but it was a short and smooth drive to Callie's apartment. Nothing could go wrong.

Callie glanced at her review mirror every once in a while. "I hope your leg's not jostling too much. I can't help that the road sucks."

"It's okay for now. Thank you for doing this Callie. I don't think I could stay at my house in my bedroom for a month with my mom asking me how I feel every four hours," Arizona said honestly.

Callie parked her car. "Well, it's my pleasure. Having my girlfriend around for a whole month? Yes please," she said with a wide smile as she took out the wheelchair and then helped Arizona out. Although Arizona glared at her and grabbed the crutches. "Okay, your loss." She casually wheeled the chair in front of her as Arizona struggled behind her. She wasn't going to push her. Arizona needed to realize this on her own.

Arizona huffed. "You're being unfair."

"You have two options. Use the wheelchair, which elevates your leg and causes less pain or you hop on the crutches, which is tiring because you're not allowed to step on your foot. At all," Callie said strictly.

Arizona rolled her eyes. "I'll be fine. Just don't shove that wheelchair in my face. I can hop just fine." They got in the elevator and rode to Callie's floor. Callie opened the door and let Arizona walk in first, Arizona stumbling a little and when Callie tried to help her she moved forwards. "I said I got this." Her tone came out a little harsher than intended.

Callie nodded. "Okay." She followed Arizona into her, their, bedroom and watched as Arizona awkwardly sat down. Callie used the foam leg pillow and carefully propped Arizona's leg. "Just yell if you need anything."

Arizona sighed. "Callie."

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry for acting like a jerk. You're really great and wonderful but I just.. I feel useless," Arizona said.

Callie nodded. Because she really know. "I spent 3 months in a hospital. I couldn't hold my own daughter for about two months. It gets lonely and scary and boring and it sucks. I know all of that. But you're doing great so far and I wouldn't want you to jinx it."

"You spent three months in the hospital and I'm being an ass when I was there for only a week," Arizona said quietly.

"You're learning," Callie brushed it off. "You can do a few exercises that your physical therapist showed you." Arizona nodded and Callie left her bedroom. Sofia and Josh were watching Barbara as she cooked. "You really didn't have to Mrs. Robbins," Callie said.

"I love cooking. How's Arizona?"

"She's... Trying. I think we're going to get in a lot of arguments during the next couple of months," Callie admitted and then laughed. "Us, doctors, are the worst patients."

Barbara nodded. "Do you think Arizona would like some soup? She hasn't been eating much lately and it's her favorite."

"I'm sure she would like some. She needs to eat before pain killers anyway. Thank you for making dinner," Callie responded. "And I assume that you cleaned up your room," she said to Sofia and kissed her forehead.

Sofia nodded. "I did, I did. Put all the toys in the toy box and even made up my bed. And all my clothes are in the closet. Abuelo helped me with folding them."

Callie laughed. She could only picture her dad folding tiny shirts and pants. He was never around when Callie was little but since Sofia he has proven that he knows how to take care of a child and doesn't need a maid or a nanny to do so. "What a wonderful abuelo," she commented. She ruffled Josh's hair. He was shy when his mom wasn't around. "What about you honey? Are you okay?"

"Yes. Mama won't be able to go to the park for a while won't she?" Josh asked sadly.

"Of course she will. I know she hates that wheelchair of hers but she's still going to try and spend every moment with you. We'll go to the park. Your mom will just be slow for a little while," Callie tried easing his fears.

Barbara passed Callie a small bowl of soup. "She'll want a refill but it's good enough for now."

Callie smiled gratefully and grabbed a spoon from a drawer. "Thank you. And I'm glad you can find your way through my kitchen." She carried the soup in her bedroom. "Have you done your exercises?"

Arizona smiled and nodded. "Aha. Is there an award?"

Callie set the soup down on the nightstand and leaned over. "None hospital food and painkillers," she offered. Arizona squinted at her making her chuckle. "And a kiss of course." She leaned over planting a soft kiss on Arizona's lips.

"Two kisses," Arizona said, showing Callie two of her fingers with a dazzling smile. When Callie leaned down she threaded her fingers in Callie's soft hair and deepened the kiss. When she scratched Callie's scalp a moan vibrated against her lips making her smile. "Now that's better," she said breathlessly. "I want that soup now."

Callie shook her head, passing Arizona the bowl. "Eat it slowly." She put a pill on Arizona's nightstand. "I got you prescribed sleeping pills," Callie said which made Arizona's head turn to her. "Just for a week or so if you experience pain before going to bed. They're 10mg but you should be okay."

Arizona ate another spoonful of soup. "I don't want to take them."

"You don't have to. But I know that Toradol is strong and will probably knock you out," Callie said. Arizona received quite a few pills but Toradol was very strong and she was only going to use it for a couple of days in addition to Tylenol if the pain was too bad.

"It's okay," Arizona said. "Is my mom still here?"

Callie nodded. "Do you want to say anything to her? I can tell her to come in here. She's entertaining the kids though."

"No, it's alright," Arizona said and slurped down the rest of her soup. "Can I get a refill though?" she asked with a sparkle in her eyes. "Hospital food sucks."

Callie kissed her lips again. "You can get as much soup as you want. You'll need the strength. You could sit by the dining table," she offered.

Arizona sighed, eying the evil wheelchair. "But that means I have to sit in that thing."

"Mhm. But it is very comfortable. We can put a cushion under your butt. You can have your leg elevated," Callie said, making a list of all the pros. "You can move around. You can still play with Josh. Or you can stay here. Alone."

"Ugh, you're so mean," Arizona whined. Callie rolled the wheelchair over with a victorious smile. Arizona carefully moved over and sat down, her leg resting rather comfortably in the elevating leg rest. She wheeled herself in the kitchen, ready to glare at Callie some more but then a mega watt smile on Josh's face made her forget all about her anger.

"Mama," he squealed, running towards her. He saw her every few days while she was in the hospital but he was used to having his mom around all the time. Before Arizona could say he had to be careful he stopped and carefully hugged her. "Callie said we'll have to be gentle around you for a couple of days. But you'll be okay. And Callie said after you get better we can go on a road trip. Together." He was so excited he was almost bouncing on his toes.

Arizona smiled, squeezing him tightly. "Well I like Callie's idea."

"Can we go to the park?" Sofia asked, fluttering her eyelashes at Callie like she did when she wanted something or wanted to get out of trouble.

"It's cold and cloudy today," Callie said. "But maybe tomorrow."

Sofia huffed. "Come on Josh, let's go play band in my room."

"It's our room now," Josh pointed out.

"It's our my room," came Sofia's respond.

Callie laughed. Sofia just wanted to have everything for herself. "Sometimes she drives me nuts," she admitted and Arizona laughed. "Hey, you don't get to laugh. I've been spending time with Josh and he's a complete sweetheart."

"He seems like a complete sweetheart until you turn his video games off or try to get him to take a bath. And once he's in the tub, it's also impossible to get him out of it," Arizona said wheeling around in a circle. Callie and Barbara shared a look that didn't go unnoticed by Arizona. "What was that for?"

Barbara turned to her daughter. "What was what honey?"

"The look," Arizona said, rolling her eyes.

Barbara continued to play dumb. "What look?"

Arizona groaned. "Between you and Callie. You just shared a look. Why? Are you sharing all my embarrassing stories with her? Please don't. Especially not that time with the poop explosion."

"I said no such thing," Barbara said. "But you did say you were never going to be seen on a wheelchair and you seemed to have fun with it. Hence the look."

Callie tilted her head to the side. "What poop explosion?"

Barbara laughed loudly. "You see, when Timmy, her brother, was a baby, she was only a little over three years old. And it was a really hot summer so we left him in only a diaper. Arizona thought it would be funny to take his diaper off. And in that exact moment he thought it would be a great idea to poop. It was all over him and all over little Arizona. And she was crying so hard."

Callie started laughing, her head thrown back. Arizona glared at her mom but the sight of Callie was almost too beautiful. "That sounds like a wonderful story."

"You know I actually have a picture," Barbara started, picking her phone from the counter, "I had this picture digitalized just a while ago. Figured it was a good memory. Daniel and I still joke about it." She showed the picture to Callie who laughed even harder.

"Mom," Arizona said warningly. It was bad enough that she had exploded poop on her let alone that her mother had a picture of it. Although she was glad she couldn't remember that moment.

Moments later loud banging on the keyboard and squealing similar to singing came out of Sofia's room. "Oh, concert time," Callie teased. When Barbara looked at her in conclusion she decided to explain. "Sofia can convince my dad to buy her anything. So one time they were in the store and she screamed Frozen and he bought her a set of Disney music instruments. And now every time Josh is here they perform a concert. And it's really loud and off key and lasts longer than me and my neighbors would like," Callie said.

"I think it sounds okay," Arizona argued.

Callie laughed. "You only had to listen to it once and that was only the unpracticed version. They've been having serious band rehearsals and named their band Oreo."

Josh came out of Sofia's room. "Grandma, come watch us," he ordered, grabbing Barbara's hand and dragging her back into the room.

Arizona laughed. "Poor mom. She'll come back deaf."

"She's going to be fine," Callie said. "Do you still want some more soup?" At Arizona's nod she brought another bowl to the table and sat down on the chair next to Arizona. "Your mom's great by the way."

"Did she try to clean your whole apartment?" Arizona wondered as she ate her soup. Her mom made the best soups.

Callie chuckled. "Maybe. She did give me this," Callie said and went in the living room to pick up a scrapbook Barbara has given her. She showed it to Arizona.

"That's my scrapbook. I started this when I was pregnant and stopped after Josh turned two. It was my therapist's idea to focus on the good things," Arizona said. She has honestly forgotten about it. "Why did my mom give you this?"

"She said something about cute pictures. And I want to see that part of your life," Callie said. "But I won't go through it without your permission."

Arizona shook her head. "You can look through it. There's nothing weird in it. Just his milestones, random thoughts, things like that. I always thought I would give it to him when he'd be old enough."

Callie didn't say anything. Instead she opened it up. While the hardcover was plain, Arizona obviously decorated the first page and used newspaper letters to spell Josh's name and his date of birth. His name was also explained. Joshua means savior. And Timothy means God's honor. Arizona was never a spiritual person but she still put that on the first page and it meant a lot to Callie for some reason. She turned the page. "Wow," she said. There were pictures of Arizona through her pregnancy. Starting a 3 months and ending at 9, just a little before Josh was born.

"I didn't want to do this, but mom kept telling me it would be great. I missed the first two months though," Arizona quickly explained.

Callie flipped another page. Josh's birth. Many pictures of Arizona laying in a hospital bed, obviously frustrated and glaring in the camera. And then a picture of a wrinkly newborn baby boy along with his first measures. And then Arizona holding the baby. "Look at his hair."

Arizona laughed, knowing full well that Callie was looking at a picture of Josh with a lot of dark hair. "His hair was dark and wild. He started losing some after a couple of months and was nearly bald and I panicked a little but then it started growing again and it also turned blond."

"Happened with Sofia too. Although it stayed dark and it was mostly just thinner hair. Now it's curly and dark and I can't tame it," Callie confessed and laughed. "It also doesn't help that she can't sit still for longer than three minutes."

"Do you ever wish you had a boy?" Arizona suddenly asked.

"Not really. I love dressing her up and honestly I was a little afraid that if it was going to be a boy Mark would teach him how to get girls and thinking about my little boy acting like Mark freaked me out."

Arizona laughed quietly. "That seems about right. Sofia's an adorable version of you though."

"Would you rather have a girl?" Callie asked the same question.

Arizona shrugged. "I haven't thought about it. I don't think so, really. He's my little man."

Callie flipped through the pages, quicker now, just glancing at Arizona teaching Josh how to walk, Josh grinning from ear to ear as his whole hand was inside of his first birthday cake. "I wish I didn't miss this part of you."

Her words were spoken so quietly Arizona barely heard them. But she did it. "I wish that too. God, you have no idea how much time I spent mentally hitting myself for not starting a family with you. I only ever saw the bad sights, like sick slimy babies crying and pooping. Never this," she said, pointing to one of her favorite pictures. She was cuddled up on the couch with Josh pressed against her as tight as possible.

Callie knelt down by Arizona's side and pressed their lips together for a brief moment. It only meant to comfort them both. They were together now. "I love you. And we get to experience other incredible things together. Like first day of school. And then proms and graduations and boyfriends and girlfriends." Arizona nodded, smiling as she thought about her future being spent with Callie. "How about we feed our monkeys, send your mother home and curl up in my bed to watch Thelma and Louise?" It was Arizona's favorite movie from that time they were first dating.

"I'd love that," Arizona said tugging on Callie's collar to pull her down for another kiss. As their lips lingered into a wonderful tingling mess she realized something. "You have TV in your room? I thought you hated that."

"I did," Callie said, laughing slightly. "Well after you left to what we all assumed was Africa I started watching the news more. To know what was happening there and see if you were safe and stuff. So I got a TV in my room and got so used to falling asleep to background noises that I kept it that way."

"That's oddly romantic," Arizona stated, making both of them laugh. "But please kick my mother out before she tells you another embarrassing secret of mine."

They ate the rest of the dinner together and then Barbara left to Arizona's home, she said it was to water her plants but Arizona didn't have any because she was too busy and knew they would die anyway. Josh and Sofia watched a few cartoons before it was bath time and after bath they were put to bed with a short story. Callie took a shower herself and helped Arizona change into her pajamas after a sponge bath which made Arizona feel even grosser than before. But they finally settled onto Callie's bed, the movie playing. It was a little hard for Arizona to watch and Callie felt a little uncomfortable too but once they got past the sexual assault scene they relaxed. After all it was a great movie. And it was the movie they watched during their first date, before the dance party. Callie's hand protectively wrapped around Arizona's waist and rubbing small circles on her back. "If you keep doing that I'll fall asleep," Arizona said, her eyes already drooping. She took her pain medications and the effect was strong.

"You should," Callie said softly and ghosted her lips over Arizona's temple before placing a soft kiss there. "We can finish the movie some other time."

Arizona sighed heavily before turning more into Callie's body as she tried to keep her leg still. "You know after a sexual assault, they always tell you to masturbate. So you can... Love yourself again," she said randomly. Callie looked down at Arizona, unsure of where this was going. "I never did it. I couldn't. Just thinking about it made my stomach turn. But when I was over at your place, after I got drunk, when I got home.. I had to do it," she said, an embarrassing blush covered her cheeks and neck. She didn't know why she just told Callie that.

"I'm very flattered," Callie breathed those words out carefully. "But none of that happening until you get your leg better."

Arizona laughed. "Okay," she said and closed her eyes. "I love you Calliope."

"I love you too Arizona," Callie softly replied. She finished the movie alone after Arizona fell asleep and changed to news. It lured her to sleep until she woke up some time later. As her eyes opened she realized Arizona was still asleep and wasn't having a nightmare. Callie squinted at her pager and turned off the TV. "I thought I heard something," she mumbled to herself. The sound of rain hitting the window was heard and then a loud thunder. But it wasn't that. And then there it was. A gentle knock. "Come in," she said, as quietly as possible.

Sofia's head peeked in. "Hi mommy," she said sweetly. "Can Josh and I stay with you tonight. There's a thunderstorm." Josh's head showed a second later as he smiled shyly.

"Of course," Callie said, grinning. "But be careful and quiet." She was laying on Arizona's right side and she moved them carefully to the edge of the bed so that Sofia and Josh wouldn't be disturbing Arizona. "Are you both settled?" She asked.

Sofia giggles and Josh grunted when Sofia's legs accidentally hit him but as they tossed around for a minute they both got into a comfortable position. "We can go to sleep now."

Callie switched off the night light that she turned on when she heard Sofia's voice and settled next to Arizona. She wrapped her arms protectively around Arizona and made sure she was comfortable with the position her leg was in. "Goodnight guys," she whispered.

Josh giggled. "Night, Callie."

"Night mommy," Sofia added.

Callie closed her eyes, exhaling slowly against Arizona's neck. She listened to the deep breathing coming from her girlfriend and the barely audible puffs of air Josh and Sofia were releasing as they were trying to fall back asleep. The thunderstorm was still raging outside but she was warm and safe and happy. This was home.

A/N: After I finished this chapter I realized I could end the story here. But I am incredible and there's at least 10 more chapters waiting for you. Unless you tell me to stop here ;)
