"I thought you said you were a hard woman to please?"
It took Callie a few seconds before she could reply. "If you weren't so damn sexy, I would be a hard woman to please."
Grinning, Arizona kissed a naked shoulder. "I love you." Within minutes, both women fell into a deep slumber.

Chapter 29
A few days later, Arizona was sat at her desk during the lunch hour, once again familiarizing herself with the procedure she and Callie would follow through with that night. Every day for the last couple of weeks she'd looked at this same site, reading the same few paragraphs and even now when she knew the article word for word, she reread the simple step by step guide to artificial insemination.
The couple had opted to try it at home, hoping being in a relaxed environment would help the cause. Being a doctor, she already knew that being over 35, even just barely, her chances of becoming pregnant were alot lower than if she were younger. That said, she hoped she and Callie could be one of the lucky ones to have success the first time of trying. She'd prepared in the best possible way to get her body in the zone and knowing she would be ovulating in the next day or 2, the time was just right to let the magic happen. They had everything they needed, including the sperm which was currently sat in the freezer at home.
Tonight would be the night.
Hearing her cell beep, she picked it up, reading the new text. "I can't stop thinking about tonight. Shall we just go home and do it now?!"
She smiled, beginning to reply to the Latina. "Patience is a virtue, Calliope. I'm too worked up thinking about it to do it now. You need to relax me tonight. Get me in the mood to help it work."
As she took a swig from her bottle of water, a reply came through. "The mood will be set. Candles, soft music and me, wearing that bra you like. I'm gona take good care of you tonight (and for the next 9 months)"
Her thumb stroked up the side of her phone as she looked at the love hearts that followed the Latina's words.
Callie was so excited at the prospect of her becoming pregnant, just like she herself was. They'd talked about perhaps postponing until the new year, after they were married but they both admitted, they didn't want to wait. They were ready to expand their family right here, right now. The sooner she got pregnant, the sooner they'd have their little baby.
Then ofcourse, that sinking feeling popped into her mind. What if it didn't work? What if she didn't get pregnant? At $300 a time, it wasn't like they could keep going and going. The sperm donor they'd used also had minimal deposits left. Sure there would be other donors but they had their hearts set on the same donor Callie had used for Abbey. Through her talks with Bailey, they'd discussed IVF treatment and if it came to it, they ofcourse would try that. If it didn't work tonight then next time, she'd come into the office and have Bailey inject the sperm straight into her uterus.
She pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind. She had to think positive. Tonight, she would get pregnant.

Coming out of her office, Arizona was about to head to the restroom when commotion from the reception area caught her attention. Moving passed the empty reception desk, she joined Jo and the couple of patients at the open door to the surgery. "What's happened?" She asked, straining her neck to see passed their heads.
Jo turned her head before creating space for the doctor to move into. "Something's about to go down.."
Stepping out of the door she looked up the road, her brows furrowing at the sight.
Up to the right, a group of people were making their way down the middle of the road. What made the sight strange was the fact these people were dressed head to toe in animal costumes. There was a horse, pig, sheep, dog, cat, lion, parrot, fish and what appeared to be, a spider. "Who is it?" The blonde asked, trying to make out the faces of the people getting closer.
Jo shook her head. "No idea."
As the gang of people got closer, Arizona finally made out Matthew's face which was the only flesh on display beneath his lion costume. "Oh my god. It's a flash mob." She turned to her temporary receptionist. "He's gona propose to April!"
The group of dressed up police officers finally stopped on the road outside of the veterinary practice. A man handed Matthew a megaphone before placing a stereo on the side walk.
Bringing the megaphone to his mouth, Matthew took a deep breath. "April Rose Kepner, could you please exit the building."
People around town had stopped what they were doing, eager to see what was about to happen. It was a short time later that Arizona saw April step out of the practice, her hands up covering her mouth. Callie wasn't far behind her. Blue eyes met brown and they smiled over at one another before looking back toward Matthew and his colleagues. "Five years ago, I was in a bar in Lawton when my eyes landed on you for the first time. From your hair, to that backless dress right down to the old converse on your feet. I was transfixed. I knew before we even spoke, you were too good for me. Somehow, despite the crap chat up line and abysmal dancing, you gave me a chance. Now, 5 years on, there's something I need to ask you."
Throwing the megaphone to the guy on the side walk, Matthew looked around to his colleagues. Music began to filter from the stereo on the side walk. As the lyrics to Shut up and Dance with Me by Walk the Moon began to play, the policemen began to dance in almost perfect synchronicity. Bystanders began to cheer and clap their hands along to the music.
Arizona burst out laughing as she too clapped along to the music. She looked over to April who was crying, laughing and looking on in disbelief all at the same time while her boyfriend pulled off moves she never even knew he could do. The blondes eyes shifted to look at her own fiancé who was now moving her body as she sang and clapped along to the music. She laughed and winked over to the Latina before looking back at the animal costume clad men still dancing in the road.
As the song came to an end, and the passers by applauded the performance, Matthew left the road and walked over to where April was now stood. "April. I know it's taken me a long time to do this, but I wanted it to be special. The more I thought of it, the more it worked me up. I'd like to thank Teddy, who I know is away on honeymoon right now but she gave me the idea a while back. She also told me it didn't matter what I did or how I did it because you, like me, just wanted to make that commitment. So.." he went down on his knee, their audience going wild around them. "...here I am, asking you, April Kepner, if you'll be my wife?"
Choking back her tears, the red head nodded her head vigorously. "Yes. Yes. Yes!" As the man stood up, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, claiming his lips in a passionate kiss.
Everyone clapped and whistled at the scene before them. Arizona wiped at the tears that had slipped from her eyes. She looked over to her fiancé who was already looking at her. Callie's lips moved, silently telling the blonde she loved her.
Mouthing the words back to the Latina, the blonde clapped a few more times before heading back into the surgery.

Having already showered herself, while Arizona showered, Callie took her daughter to bed, reading only a few pages from her curious George flies a kite book. That was all it took before Abbey was sound asleep on her back. Kissing her daughter's head, she headed out of the room, pulling the door almost but not fully closed.
Making her way downstairs, she went through to the kitchen. Opening up the freezer, she picked up the container that held the sperm sample. Putting it under her armpit, she closed the freezer door, turned around and headed back upstairs. Hearing the shower still running, she walked into the bedroom, ready to set the mood. The curtains were already closed so the only light coming in was through the bedroom door. Opening up a little draw on the dresser, she removed a lighter. She'd already placed several candles around the room which she moved to, one by one lighting each wick. With them all burning, she powered up her iPod, choosing the the playlist she'd pre-made especially for tonight.
The water cut out in the bathroom. Knowing the blonde would come through at any minute, she took the sperm sample from beneath her arm pit, setting it on the draws while she lifted her top over her head then stepped out of her bed shorts and panties. Throwing both onto the bedroom chair, she picked up the container, slipping it beneath her arm pit once more as she climbed up onto the bed.
Opening the bathroom door, Arizona moved towards the bedroom. Coming into the candle lit room, her eyes landed on the Latina, lying on her side, her head propped up by her hand. Grinning, she closed and locked the bedroom door behind her. On the off chance Abbey woke up in the next hour or so and came in search of them, she didn't want her walking in on what was about to happen in this room tonight. "Hi pretty lady.." she said, moving towards the bed.
Callie's eyes raked over the blonde's towel clad body. Her hair had been towel dried and was hanging haphazardly on the top of her left shoulder. It was one of Callie's favourite looks on her fiancé. "Do you wona make a baby with me?"
Smiling wide, Arizona pulled at the not in her towel, letting it fall to the floor at her feet. "I do." She climbed onto the bed, mirroring the Latina's body. Her hand came to rest on the vets hip as she leant in, softly kissing her lips. Their gentle kissing went on for a few minutes, neither wanting to rush.
Eventually Arizona pulled back. "Did you get the sperm?"
Callie responded by lifting her arm, revealing the container nestled in her pit. "Here..." She grasped it with her hand. "Lie down and put this under your arm. We have some time before it's thawed out."
Doing as she was told, Arizona lay on her back, allowing Callie to place the container under her arm pit before she closed her arm to her body. "Are you going to woo me now?"
Smiling, Callie nodded. "Im gona make love to every single inch of your body right now. You just rest and enjoy."
Grabbing a couple of pillows, Callie placed them under the blondes hips then for the next 20 minutes, her hands and mouth, touched, kissed, licked and sucked at every patch of skin she could see. She purposefully avoided between the blonde legs. Now however, she made her way down to between milky thighs, her mouth moving in, licking up through moist lips. She finally latched onto a very hard clit, sucking it lightly, letting the tip of her tongue flick over it every so often. Arizona began to arch her back in pleasure beneath her. They knew that if she was sexually aroused and had an orgasm, there was a better chance of the sperm getting sucked up into the cervix.
"Oh God, Callie...get it ready..." the doctor groaned, her body beginning to shudder.
Taking her mouth off the blondes clit, the Latina reached over, opening the top draw and retrieving a small vibrator. She looked at her panting fiancé and winked as she placed it on her stomach. Picking up the bag from the night stand she brought out a syringe. Pulling back the nozzle, she sucked up air before pushing it back out again. "Pass the sperm, babe."
Lifting her arm, Arizona grasped the container and passed it over to the vet. She watched the Latina bring it close to her face. "How they looking?"
Seeing a decent amount of movement, Callie knew they were ready. Smiling, she looked at the blonde. "They look good." Opening the container, she began to slowly suck the sperm up into the syringe. "Why don't you start to use that. Get yourself ready."
For some reason, even after everything they'd done in the bedroom together over the last year and a bit, Arizona felt shy. Still, she picked up the small vibrator, turning it over in her hand for a few moments before pressing the on button in. As it began to vibrate in her hand, she looked up at the Latina who had placed the now empty container back onto the bedside table and hovered above her.
Looking down at her completely exposed partner, Callie noted the flush that covered her face aswell as the heaving chest. She looked so small and vulnerable in that moment. Leaning her head down, she hovered her face above the doctors. "Are you OK?"
After a few moments, Arizona nodded her head. "Kiss me.."
Callie obliged, moving her lips over the blondes. It started out slow but soon became alot more heated. Arizona moved the vibrator down to her slit. When it met with her clit, she breathed hard into the Latina's mouth. Her ass clenched as she softly rocked her hips against the small vibrator. "Oh fuck.." She breathed.
Knowing how much it turned the blonde on, Callie lowered her bottom half until she straddled the doctors right thigh. She began to rock her hips, her centre rubbing against a toned leg. Arizona had told her many times how she loved the feel of Callie squeezing her thigh. The feel of her wetness seeping out and rubbing on her skin.
Arizona was in heaven. From the feel of Callie pleasuring herself against her thigh to the intense vibration teasing her clit, she knew it wouldn't be long before she got her release. Her breath began to hitch, her body shivering from a sensation overload. "Do it now" she gasped.
Despite the fact her own arousal had been beginning to build, Callie moved like a bolt of lightning. With the filled syringe still in hand, she guided it to Arizona's entrance before slowly moving through soft wet walls. When she thought she was close enough to the cervix, her thumb began to slowly push down, effectively releasing the sperm inside the blonde. With the syringe empty, she threw it on the night stand before positioning herself with the blondes thigh between her leg again. She rocked her hips once more, her clit sliding up and down Arizona's skin.
"Oh fuck, I'm coming..." the blonde gasped.
Callie grabbed a hold of her face. "Look at me.."
The doctors eyes shot open, locking on to brown as an orgasm ripped through her body. The vibrator continued to stimulate her clit while Callie's hips worked frantically against her thigh, desperately seeking her own explosive release.
It didn't take long for Callie to reach that peak. "Arizona.." She cried out, her body shaking from the pleasure consuming her body. "I love you. I love you so much.." She breathed.
As the blonde recovered, she dropped the vibrator and wrapped her arms around Callie's middle. The Latina was still riding out the last few waves of her orgasm. Eventually, she stopped and rolled off the blonde. Though her entire body was shaking, she sat up and told the blonde to pivot her body until her legs were up against the wall above the headboard. Finally in the position they thought would be most effective, Callie wrapped the blonde's upper body in her arms. "That was intense, wasn't it?"
Arizona nodded against the Latina's chest. "Really intense." She thought on for a few moments. "Do you think it worked?"
Callie's thumb stroked soothingly over the blondes forehead. "I hope it did."
A minute or 2 passed before Arizona spoke again. "Callie?"
"Yea, baby?"
"I love you, too."
