A/N: Just a reminder...they were already going to LA...what Arizona is doing, she was going to do at some point...but decided to do it in a special way. I'll apologize for the long wait, I had this started a few weeks ago, and then lost the inspiration for writing altogether for a while. Thank you for your patience, and thank you for reviews/faves/alerts =)
Wasn't going to add sexy times in this chapter, but I did...so, skip over if you don't read them usually(which im sure most people do) but still, you've been warned =)
Once again I feel the need to thank everyone who reviews this story often for your patience, it means a lot to me, because I seem to lack on quick updates lately for many reasons. This wasn't exactly the most popular story I've written, so I had taken breaks from it...but your reviews on the last few chapters have meant a lot to me and for that I thank you. Reviews started trickling in one by one, begging me to update...which gave me the confidence again so, thank you for that. You guys rock =P
Two days later...
Arizona's POV
With our flight to LA almost complete, Calliope is still napping in the seat next to me. She found it easier to rest, while I was left in a comfortable silence with my thoughts. I spent the majority of our flight with my head resting on her shoulder, thinking back through all the times in our relationship. The struggles we have had, and how hard we have worked to overcome them. I've also thought about the many good times that we have had, and how incredibly happy she makes me. It has never been easy for either of us, but it has always been worth it. It's been a struggle to make our relationship work, but we are stronger as a couple.
When I wake up in her arms every morning, and come home to her every night; it makes all of the hard times seem worth it, because I am the one she chose. I'm the one who gets to make love to her every night, and then fall asleep in the comfort and security of her strong arms. The one who wakes up next to her smiling face every morning, the one who she calls 'beautiful' every chance she gets.
Another thing I thought of was my insecurities, and how it's only ever been this bad when it comes to her. Never in my life have I loved someone so much, that it's left me with the never ending fear of losing them to someone else. I've tried to stop myself from feeling jealous or insecure, fearing that it might drive her away. Instead, she loves me for who I am, and reassures me when I need it.
We have gone through so much , and come so far both as a couple and as individuals. Too far to stay in the same place that we're in right now. It is time to take steps forward, and build a life together. A life that is separate from other people in our lives. Two years ago when I met her, I never would have imagined that she would be the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with; and here I am, wanting forever with her.
As the plane begins to land, Calliope is shaken from her peaceful slumber. She rubs the sleep from her eyes, before turning to face me.
"I'm sorry. Was I out the whole flight?" She asks.
"Yes, and please don't apologize. You have been working a lot lately and the fact that you still wanted a few days away with me, means the world to me."
"Arizona, it's only a few days..." she protests. "...I wish it could have been longer.."
Once we land, I take her hand in mine, placing a kiss on the back of it. "It's everything. All I wanted was a few days with you, away from everything. This is important to me, and I thank you so much for doing this for me."
Hand in hand, we stand up and exit the plane as quick as we can, anxious to get to the baggage claim for the one bag that we packed. There was a brief moment when without realizing it, I had started to pull away from her, which made her grasp my hand tighter. I've never been one for hand holding or being affectionate in public. But with Calliope, I can't help it, because I want the whole world to know that she is mine.
As we make our way through the crowd of people, we see Addison ready and waiting with a big smile on her face.
"You made it..." she says excitedly, pulling us in for hugs one at a time. "...how was the flight?"
Callie rolls her eyes. "Bumpy and annoying. I'm ready for another nap."
"Well that's good actually..." Addison chuckles. "...I have to go perform a C-section in a little while... so I was going to drop you two off at my house. You can eat, sleep...do whatever you want...then later we will order some food and catch up."
"That sounds great" I reply, with a dimpled smile.
"Great. Let's go and get you settled then" Addison replies, smiling back at me.
45 Minutes Later...
After the ride to Addison's, which consisted of mostly briefly catching up on how everything is going for us back in Seattle, we are left alone in her very large house. Once settled into the room that we will be staying in, Calliope comes up behind me as I search through our bag for a tank top to wear.
"Calliope!.." I warn, as she runs her hands up my sides. The combination of her soft touch and her breath on my neck is enough to drive me crazy. All she has to do is look at me, and I want her. "...we're in someone else's house...stop that...your...driving ...me...crazy..."
"mmm so what..." she murmurs against my skin as she trails kisses across my shoulder and up my neck, before nibbling on my ear. "...I want you...and I want you now...you're wearing those jeans that drive me insane..."
"Calliope Torres...I'm warning...you...oh...what..are..you doing...oh god" I stutter, as her hands find my breasts, her thumbs teasing my covered nipples.
"Arizona!...please..." she whines, when I push her away. "...please baby. I want you so bad. You can't expect me to wait three days!"
Turning around to face her, I can't help but laugh at the pouty look on her face. "You are so attractive when you whine and beg like that. I've never wanted you more."
"Really?" she asks, sounding hopeful.
"No"
"Well let's see if you want me now..." she replies, as she approaches me. She places her hands on my hips, backing me up against the wall, effectively trapping me from any escape. "...you know you can't resist me..." she mumbles an inch away from my lips, before closing the gap between us, claiming my lips in a possessive kiss. When air becomes an issue, I tear my lips away from hers, panting slightly. "...mmm look at you all hot and bothered" she teases me, with a slight eye brow raise.
My mouth hangs slightly open as my body tingles under her touch. She pulls my bra down over my breasts, moaning in satisfaction at the sight of my hardened nipples. Using her free hand, she takes my left breast in her hand, softly palming it, while sucking lightly on the side of my neck.
"Calliope..." I breath, bringing a hand to the back of her head and guiding it to my erect nipple. "...touch me...now...I need you to touch me" I add, using my other free hand, to guide hers down to the waist line of my pants.
"I am touching you" she chuckles, trailing open mouthed kisses down my chest. "...you're so fucking sexy...you have no idea"
When she takes my nipple in her mouth, teasing it with the tip of her tongue, I can feel the rising arousal in the pit of my stomach as my whole body tingles, wanting, needing more. As wetness pools my panties, I begin to lose control. I've never been one for begging, but she knows just what to do to drive me out of my mind. She always has.
"Please Calliope..." I beg her, as my breathing gets heavier with anticipation. She's barely touched me and I am already out of breath. "...babe you're killing me...please...stop teasing me."
"Tell me what you want baby..." she replies, slowly unbuttoning my jeans at an almost painful pace. I need her to touch me now. "...what do you want me to do to you?"
"Touch me...now..." I demand breathlessly, struggling to unzip my jeans fast enough. "...I need you inside me...now...please"
"Well listen to you..." she giggles, as she helps me pull my jeans down. I waste no time in stepping out of them and kicking them to the side, while she wastes no time in sliding her hand into my panties, and curling a finger inside my heated core, moaning at the wetness she finds there. "...I love how wet you are for me..." she growls in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "...is this what you want?"
"More...more...please..." I breathe. When she adds a second finger, quickening the pace, I throw my head back against the wall. "...yes...Calliope...yes...don't stop." Capturing my lips in a passionate kiss, she continues her movements as I moan into her mouth. When her thumb brushes against my clit, I tear my mouth away from hers. "...yes...that's what I want...p...please don't stop!" I demand, causing her to moan in appreciation.
She brings her lips to my neck once again, sucking harder in the same spot. Hard enough to leave a mark, as she circles my clit with her thumb, and continues pumping her fingers deep inside of me.
"am I the only one that gets to do this to you?" she mumbles against the now reddened spot on my neck, before nibbling lightly.
"Yes..." I hiss, as my body begins to tremble beneath her touch. "...forever...you're the only one I want doing this to me...only you...always.. you..."
"That's what I want to hear..." she moans. My entire body jerks in pleasure when she adds even more pressure on my hardened clit. My whole body quakes as I feel my orgasm quickly approaching. She wraps an arm around me, holding me upright as my weakened legs start to give out on me. "...I've got you...that's it baby...let go...come for me Arizona..." she says. I barely hear her, because all I can hear is the rapid beat of my heart as my orgasm rips through me, almost knocking me off my feet, as she holds my quaking body. "...you're so beautiful when you come for me...I love you, my angel..." she whispers, as she slows down her movements to draw out my orgasm.
Wrapping both of her arms around me, she slowly walks me backwards over to the bed, as I struggle to catch my breath. She lays me down on the bed gently, before laying down next to me.
"I love you so much" she says, placing light kisses on my flushed cheek.
When I finally catch my breath, I turn my head towards her, as she stares at me with nothing but love in her big brown eyes.
"That was amazing..." I sign in contentment. "...I love you too, more than you'll ever know"
While I still haven't been able to fully catch my breath, I roll over on top of her, so that I am straddling her. Using my hands to support my weight, I lean down to claim her lips in a passionate kiss.
"Take off your shirt for me..." I murmur against her lips, tugging at the bottom of her shirt.
Without fully sitting up, she pulls her shirt up over her head in one quick motion, tossing it onto the floor. She barely has time to think about laying back down before I put my hand on her chest and push her back onto the bed. When she bounces back up slightly, I crash our lips together once more. She moans into my mouth while she undoes the button on her jeans.
"I thought you said no sex while we were here" she protests, while I help unzip her jeans and begin tugging at the waistline.
"Are you really going to argue the point with me right now?..." I smirk at her. Bringing my mouth to her neck, I begin nipping and sucking on the spot that drives her crazy, while I cup her still covered, heated center with my hand. "...you really thought I could resist you and all your sexiness." I tear my mouth away from her neck, and bring my free hand up to pull her undone bra off her, tossing it to the floor. "...you know I can't keep my hands off you...ever" I add.
"Arizona..." she moans, as I take her erect nipple in my mouth. "...please...I need you inside me now..." she demands, grabbing my wrist, forcing my hand into her panties. "...I...can't wait...any longer. I need you now" she adds, wiggling out of her jeans and kicking them off, rocking our heated bodies together.
"I like to see you beg a little..." I tease her, slowly running a finger up the length of her slit. "...mmm you're so wet"
"Only for you..." she breathes. She slides her hand off of mine, to reaching up to the back of my neck. "...please baby" she pleads, just before our lips crash together. She whimpers into my mouth as I waste no time in entering her with two fingers.
"Is this what you want me to do?..." I ask, when we break from the kiss. Trailing sloppy kisses all over her neck and chest, I put pressure on her clit with my thumb. "...or this? I love how you moan for me when I do this." Wrapping her leg around me, causing my hips to grind down on my hand and force my fingers deeper into her, she releases a deep throaty moan. "...you like that baby?"
"Yes..." she hisses, using her leg to urge me to continue. "...yes baby...don't stop...that feels amazing..." she chokes out through ragged breaths, as I continue rocking my hips against her.
As her orgasm quickly approaches and her body shakes beneath me, I sit up slightly, still straddling her. I continue rocking my hips, while teasing her nipple between two of my fingers. She slams her eyes shut as her orgasm crashes through her, and she opens her mouth, but no sound comes out.
"Oh...my...that was...amazing...you...are amazing..." she breathes. I slow down the pace of my hips and put less pressure on her clit, to draw her orgasm out, while she struggles to catch her breath.
When I roll off of her, I curl up to her side, resting my head on her chest. She traces lazy circles along my lower back, as I listen to the beating of her heart. After a few minutes of laying in comfortable silence, we change our clothes before making our way downstairs and out the back door.
Callie sits in a long lawn chair, facing the beach. "Come here" she says, patting the spot in front of her.
Wanting to be in her loving arms, I waste no time in carefully sitting in front of her. She helps me scoot backwards, and wraps her arms around me, resting her chin on my shoulder.
"What's gotten into you the last few days?..." I ask, breaking the silence. The comfortable silence we spent watching the waves and enjoying the sounds of the ocean. "...I mean...the sex has been amazing, don't get me wrong...but please...tell me what's going on with you..."
"I love you" she whispers against my neck, placing a soft kiss on the spot she marked.
"I love you too, but please tell me..."
"I have been acting kind of crazy haven't I..." she chuckles. She pauses momentarily, releasing a deep sigh. "...this nurse...is driving me crazy. Teddy told me she asked you out, which I didn't know about...because you never told me...and I've spent a lot of time watching her try and come between us and it just drove me crazy, knowing that someone else wanted you. I'm sorry for acting so...crazy...it's just...you're mine...I guess I got a little insecure."
"I will always be yours...always..." I assure her. I bring my hand up to the back of her neck and lean back, turning my head to the side. "...you will never have anything to worry about, because you will always be the only one I want.." I add, when we break from a passionate kiss.
"Always?" she asks.
"Always and forever..." I reply. Taking her left hand in both of mine, I gently run my thumb along her ring finger. "...some day I am going to put a ring on this finger, and ask you to be mine forever..."
"I already am yours forever"
Without her being able to see me, I break into the biggest smile at the thought of her one day being my wife. If only she knew, what will be happening on this trip.
"By the way..." she adds. "...there will be no mention of what we were doing all afternoon. None what so ever."
"Deal"
Callie's POV
Hours later, when Addison returns home, she orders Chinese food for dinner. The rest of our afternoon had been spent resting, and just enjoying the rare time off that we have together. With our busy work schedules, there are days that I feel like we barely see one another, which is why this trip has made both of us so happy. Four days in which we get to spend together, away from reality.
We gather round a table outside, enjoying the cool breeze and the sounds of the waves crashing onto the shore.
"How's Mark?" Addison asks, just before Callie's phone beeps.
"Speak of the devil..." Arizona sighs, with a slight eye roll. "...I thought we left to get away from all of that for a few days. What's his problem now?"
"I take it he's still...well, Mark?" Addison chuckles.
"Yes..." Arizona replies. "...it's not that I don't like him...it's not that at all. It's just that he's everywhere...all the time. He's there when I wake up, when I go to sleep sometimes, he's there...and I end up falling asleep alone. I come home from work...and, he's there..."
"Okay, we get the point..." I interrupt her, suddenly feeling bad for the tone of my voice. "...I'm sorry...I don't want to fight..." I trail off, putting my phone down.
"She's right you know...' Addison points out, stopping at the glare she receives from me. "...I'm just saying...she's in a relationship with you...not Mark...she wants to come home to you, not Mark...she probably feels like she's dating him against her will"
"Thank you!" Arizona sighs dramatically.
"So...have you two thought more about having kids?" Addison asks, changing the subject, following an awkward silence.
"A little..." I trail off, noticing the fact that Arizona has gotten very quiet. We have only briefly talked about our differences when wanting children, during our therapy sessions. "...not that much though. I mean...there's a lot of other things we would like to do before we decide whether or not to have one."
Arizona gently squeezes my thigh under the table, giving me a reassuring smile.
"We will have kids some day..." she tells me, in an attempt to calm my nerves. Knowing that I have always been afraid of the issue of kids coming up again one day. "...maybe not ten...but we will definitely have a family...I am thinking two or three.."
"When you do decide it's time, let me know..." Addison says, with a smile. "...our fertility specialist...Naomi...is very good at what she does...oh you know what would be cool...if you carried each others babies!"
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves..." I joke. I take Arizona's hand in mine, resting our intertwined hands on my thigh. "...I like that idea though...I've always wanted a little Arizona running around."
"Or rolling around" Addison jokes, referring to Arizona's Heely wearing days.
"Our children will not be wearing those" I point out, sending a teasing glare Arizona's way. "...do not put ideas in her head" I tease Addison, making her laugh.
"I can see it now..." Addison chuckles, placing her wine glass back on the table. "...one of you trying to break up an argument between two of your kids...while the other one, chases another kid of yours around...praying every step of the way that they don't fall"
"I've fallen a few times..." Arizona points out sheepishly.
"A few?" I interrupt her, giving her a teasing but loving smile, which she returns. "...you know i'm just teasing you love" I add.
"You guys look so happy..." Addison points out, observing the fact that we were lost in a moment, looking into each other's eyes. "...you look like you're in a good place...that's good. I'm happy for you."
"We're in a great place" Arizona replies, with a dimpled smile.
Addison and Arizona share a knowing, but awkward glance, leaving me unsure as to what is going on. The only thing I am able to get out of the way they are looking at each other, is that Addison knows whatever Arizona has been up to recently.
"So, what did you do today?" Addison asks suddenly.
"Um...nap...we took a nap..." Arizona stutters nervously, receiving an eye brow raise from Addison in response. "...yeah, we took a nap...and just enjoyed the quiet time...the non Mark time"
"and the time in which our pagers did not go off, because we are not at work" I add.
"I definitely know the feeling...story of my life..." Addison chuckles, with a slight nod. "...anyone want more wine?"
I look to Arizona, who nods politely.
"Yes, please..." I reply, handing her our glasses. "...or you could just bring the bottle out here...none of us are working tomorrow" I add, suddenly placing the glasses back on the table.
"Excellent point!..." Addison exclaims, as she head inside. "...I like the way you think!"
When the door is closed, Arizona breaks into a dimpled smile as she leans in to steal a kiss, which turns into two, and then three. She rests her head on my shoulder, sighing in contentment, her hand still in mine.
"Hello Ladies!"
Momentarily startled, she lifts her head off my shoulder in confusion.
"Hey, you must be Sam?" I reply, holding out my hand.
He nods. "I am, it's very nice to meet you both. I've heard a lot about both of you." he says politely, shaking both of our hands.
"I'm Callie, and this is my girlfriend Arizona..." I tell him, gesturing to her. "...I take it Addison told you her crazy story about how she came to Seattle while we were broken up, and swore she woudn't leave until we got back together?"
"She did..." he chuckles. "...she likes to be in control, and fix everyone else's problems. Where is she any way?"
"Sam, what are you doing here?" Addison asks, surprised to see him, as she steps back out onto the back porch.
"I just wanted to come by and meet these two lovely ladies..." he replies, giving her a quick kiss. "...I won't stay too long..."
"Please, there's plenty of food, sit down" she protests, gesturing to the empty chair next to hers.
The four of us enjoy our evening, sharing medical school stories, as well as stories about our coworkers. After spending the evening laughing and enjoying ourselves, we lay in bed, feeling the cool ocean breeze coming in through the window. My beautiful blue eyed girlfriend, rests peacefully in my arms.
"Are you having a good time so far?" I ask, breaking the comfortable silence.
"I am..." she replies, slightly nodding against my shoulder. "...I really needed some time away, even just a few days. I think we both did."
"I'm glad you are enjoying yourself, you deserve it"
"I do huh? for what?" she asks, in quite an adorable tone.
"For being an amazing girlfriend. Thank you..."
"For what?"
"For loving me"
"I will always love you, Calliope Torres"
The Next Day...
General POV
Following their first night here, the relaxation of their short vacation continues. Long after the morning sun has peeked in through the curtains, they remain in bed. Arizona lays wrapped in the arms of the love of her life, wishing she could stay like this forever.
Yesterday after noon, when they spent their time in the calm atmosphere of the beach, she became more sure than she's ever been, that what she is about to do will work out in the end. She was supposed to wait until their last night here, but she doesn't want to wait anymore.
The smell of fresh brewed coffee fills her senses. Careful not to wake her Calliope, she crawls out of bed and quietly makes her way downstairs, to see Addison sitting at the kitchen table, rubbing her temples.
"Too much wine last night?" the blonde asks, as she pours them both a cup of coffee.
"Just a little..." Addison replies, wincing in pain from her head ache. "...thank you"
"No problem..." Arizona replies with a dimpled smile, as she takes a seat across from the red head. "...so, I don't want to wait any longer. I want to ask her tonight."
Addison takes a sip of her coffee as her eyes widen in shock. "Really, tonight?...you brought the ring, right?" she asks, after placing the mug down in front of her.
"No, I just thought I'd ask my girlfriend to marry me...and forget the most important thing" the blonde jokes.
"She said you were hot, but she never said you were a wise-ass" the red head fires back teasingly, with a slight smirk and eye brow raise. "...when my brother was in Seattle being operated on my Derek, she found me in the chapel...she said that she kissed a hot peds surgeon, and prayed that she could get over the butterflies" she adds, when she notices the confused look on the blonde's face. "...and you have talked to her dad right? I hear he's not one to want to piss off...Mark would know about that..."
Arizona nods. "Yes, I talked to her father...I have to be honest though, I was so nervous when I asked him. He had come back a few months after I got back from Africa...I thought he would never forgive me for hurting her the way I did."
"You love his daughter, more than anything..." Addison replies softly. "...he can see that...anyone can see that. Anyone can also see, how happy you make her...because she is a totally different person than she was before she had you in her life. She's happier, much happier...she see's people differently, she see's the world differently...you've changed her, in the best way possible, because you have shown her what it's like to truly be loved. You two have been through so much crap...and you still managed to come out on the other side of it all, together and happy...you deserve this...both of you...you deserve your happy ending. So, get to the married part of it, and let the baby having begin. I want to be an Aunt."
"You know, I thought that I would still be hesitant on the topic of having children. But lately...I can't get the image of a baby that looks just like her, out of my head. I picture a little girl, with the same big brown eyes and dark hair that Callie has. She'll have her fiery attitude and personality, but also her heart. Her kind and loving heart..." Arizona says, slightly shaking her head and smiling. "...and now, it makes me wonder how I could ever not want that...and I didn't...I didn't ever want kids, but love is about sacrifice...I would rather have a family with her, than walk away from her and watch someone else love her the way I do, and raise a family with her, the way she wanted to with me."
"When the time comes, I know you two will be amazing parents. Any kid would be lucky to have you two, you're going to be good mommies.." Addison replies confidently. "...so, did you want to make arrangements to stay at the hotel, tonight? I'm assuming you will want rivacy...you know, for celebration..."
"Yeah, I get the point..." the blonde chuckles. "...I should probably call them and see if I can get us in there. I can't wait until tomorrow night. I want to know tonight, that she will one day become my wife."
"Whose getting married?"
They both jump, slightly startled, and turn around to see a short and skinny dark haired girl standing just inside the kitchen.
"Amelia, this is Arizona..." the red head says, gesturing to Arizona. "...Arizona, this is Amelia, Derek's sister...whose nothing like him, can I just point that out"
"Do you know how you're going to do it?..." Addison asks Arizona. "...I mean, I know the beach at sunset...but do you know what you're going to say?"
"No, but I know it will come to me"
Everything would be okay. She had the faith in herself, and in their love for one another. It was more than enough to convince her that asking Calliope Torres to marry her, would be one of the best decisions that she's ever made.
She had gotten the idea to propose on the beach, because it was a place that they both loved. Another thing they shared in common, was their love for the sunset, which they hardly ever get to see, because they are always inside the hospital when the sun goes down. She presented the idea to Addison, who obviously agreed to help her prepare to make this a night that Callie would never forget.
After a day of being dragged all over LA by Amelia, Callie is tired, and wants nothing more than to curl up in bed with her lover, and kiss her sweet face. She follows Amelia into Addison's house and drops her shopping bags off upstairs in the guest bedroom. When she goes back downstairs, Amelia is no where in sight, and Addison stands in the kitchen, with an odd grin on her face.
"So...she is nothing like her brother" Callie points out.
"You got a point there..." Addison chuckles.
"Where's Arizona?" the brunette asks, looking around in confusion.
The red head steps aside, from where she was standing in front of the curtains, gesturing to the back door.
"What's going on Addison...?"
"No questions asked, get your butt outside" Addison interrupts her, as she peaks outside and notices the sun begin to set.
"Addison, your cell phone!" Amelia calls from upstairs.
"Crap, that's probably...I don't know..." Addison blurts out, giving Callie a careful shove outside. "...you'll love it, I promise...just go" she tells her, before making her way upstairs.
"Who is it?..." she asks, as Amelia hands her the phone. "...Teddy hi!..."
"Did she ask her yet?..." Teddy asks, from the other end of the phone line. "...I got Arizona's voice mail earlier today. Tell me everything."
Addison peaks out one of the upstairs windows, smiling in excitement at what is about to happen.
"Stay on with me...I can see them from here. If they start giving my neighbors a show...then we'll know that everything is good" she tells Teddy. Amelia rolls her eyes at Addison's high level of intrusion on what is supposed to be a perfect moment for these two. Teddy sits at Joes with Mark, Owen, Derek, Meredith and Bailey, anxiously waiting for an answer. Mark leans over as close as he can to Teddy, attempting to hear Addison on the other line.
'you people are so damn nosey...everybody has to know every one else's business' Bailey mumbles in the back round, causing Addison to laugh. Addison rolls her eyes when Amelia pushes her slightly out of the way, attempting to get a view. 'Tell Amelia I said hi...I know she's there' Mark chuckles, as Teddy holds the phone.
Meanwhile, Callie is amazed at what she see's. Candles lit all around her in the back of Addison's house. There is a path of candles leading out to the shoreline, where Arizona is waiting for her. The lack of wind, leaves all the candles lit, softly lighting up the area around them.
"Arizona, what is all this?" Callie asks, as she approaches her blue eyed beauty.
Without giving her an answer right away, Arizona takes Callie's hands in hers, looking into her eyes. Looking into Callie's brown eyes, she finds all the confidence that she needs, to make this moment everything to both of them.
"Calliope..." she whispers, giving her girlfriend a small dimpled smile. "...my beautiful, sexy, loving and kind hearted Calliope...from the moment I laid eyes on you, I wanted you. From the moment I kissed you, I knew that I couldn't live my life, without you by my side. You had me from the very beginning...and as time went on, my feelings grew stronger for you every day. I remember the very first time that I told you I loved you. When you said it back, it was the happiest moment of my life...and then came the bad. The worst moment of my life, was the moment I walked away from you..." she trails off, taking a brief pause. Callie is so stunned about what she thinks is happening, she remains silent, unable to form words, and anxious to hear what the blonde has to say. "...the second I got on the plane to go to Africa, I knew I had just made the biggest mistake of my life. Somehow, you found it in your heart to forgive me...and I will forever be grateful for that, because I can't live without you. I was crazy to ever think that I could. We have been through...so much, but here we are today, still together and in love. I know there will be plenty of fights, and times that we don't agree on anything...because we have already had our share of those days, and even then...you're the only one that I want to argue with, forever..." she chuckles, as a single tear of joy rolls down her cheek. "...what I am trying to say is, we will fight...I know we will, because that's what we do...we fight, say things we don't mean...but through it all, our love for one another is the one thing that never fight and disagree with one another, and then we make up. We face forward, together...we have come so far, and we will keep moving forward, side by side..." she adds, pausing again to contain her emotions. "...when Kristin came after me, I was at my worst. I was weak and afraid after that...I showed a side of me that I've never wanted anyone to see. You stepped up, and showed me just how devoted you are to me. You took care of me, and did everything you could, to make me feel safe and loved. You handled me at my worst...and brought me back to my best."
"Arizona..." Callie chokes out through tears. Tears that she hadn't even realized were falling until now. Arizona releases one of her hands, and brings her free hand up to Callie's face to gently wipe away the tears, before taking her hand again.
"Let me finish, please..." the blonde pleads. "...I have never loved any one the way that I love you...and no one in my life, has ever made me feel so safe, loved, cherished and adored. I want to continue to fall asleep in your arms every night, and wake up to your kisses every day, for the rest of my life...because the happiness that comes from being with you, is unlike anything I've ever felt...and I want to always feel that way...for the rest of my life, I want to feel as beautiful...and amazing, as you make me feel...every day of my life... for the rest of my life..."she trails off, reaching into her back pocket. She pulls out a box and opens it in front of her girlfriend, revealing a large diamond.
"Arizona..." Callie breathes, in shock.
"Will you marry me?"
To Be Continued...
Will she say yes or no? I'm sorry to make you wait for that, this got extremely long and in order to write the next part of this, I had to split it up...or this would have been like a hundred pages lol. It came out a lot longer, I rearranged a few things and made it that way...so that there could be a long update, after such a long wait.
I also wanted to make it so that there could be more of LA. It's a fun change to write other characters. Don't get me wrong, I love all of them...I just like the challenge of writing some Private Practice characters for once. If there are any typos in this chapter please excuse them I will fix them later...I just wanted to get this up because people have been waiting so long.
Also note, Callie's plans are different from Arizona's...and will not be discovered until 2-3 chapters from now. Maybe sooner, it depends on how things come out...but with the way I've planned things out, I doubt it will be the next chapter.
Hope you enjoyed =)
