Chapter Twenty-Nine

Arizona's POV

A few days ago…

Morning like these are my favorite. The four of us cuddled in bed just enjoying being together. The kids are in the middle of our bed watching cartoons on the big screen while Callie is reading something on her iPad. I have a magazine in my lap that I'm lazily reading over while keeping a watchful eye on Sofia and Noah who are both deeply captivated by what's playing on the television. Glancing at my wife, I smile with joy and pride. Her growing belly peaks out between her shirt and pants making its presence known. I love the fact that she's carrying my babies, our babies for us. It's definitely no easy task, and she hasn't complained that much, at least not yet. I'm sure that may change once we get into the later months of the pregnancy, but now has been pretty much smooth sailing.

"Mama?" Noah asks sweetly.

"Yeah, bud?" Callie replies while keeping her eyes attached to her iPad. "What's up?"

"Why are you getting so big?" Our son innocently inquires. This makes Callie put away her device and sit up. We've been waiting for one of the kids to say something, but so far nothing, until now.

"What do you mean?"

"Well your belly is getting bigger." Noah sits up on his knees, faces Callie and pats his hand on her belly.

"She's having a baby, Noah. Duh." Sofia sassily answers as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. Callie and I look at each with amused grins.

"Sofia is right, Noah. Mama is pregnant. How'd you know, Sof?"

"Cause mama looks like Aunt Teddy and Aunt Teddy is having a baby."

"Makes sense." Callie laughs.

"How come the baby gets two beds?" Sofia asks looking between Callie and I. "The guest room has two baby beds."

"Sof, we told you not to in there. It's not safe." Callie scolds. The guest room is in the middle of getting renovated and there are tools and large pieces of furniture laying around everywhere. We told both of them not to go into the room, but clearly our daughter has a mind of her own.

"If the baby gets two beds. I want two beds." Noah states emphatically.

"The baby doesn't get two beds. I'm having two babies!" Callie answers with a big smile, but Sofia and Noah just give her blank stares. "Mama and I are having twins!"

"You have two babies in you?" Noah asks in disbelief. "Right now?"

"Yes, right now!" My wife answers with a chuckle.

"Wow. Two babies. That's a lot." Sofia comments. "Are they boys or girls?"

"We don't know yet, but we'll find out very soon." I'm very anxious to know now and can't wait for our next appointment. "As soon as mama and I find out we'll tell you."

"I want a brother."

"I want a sister." Sofia counters Noah right away. "What about you mama?"

"I just want two healthy babies. That's what's most important to me."

"I still want a brother." Noah says. "Hey, how did you get the babies in there?" Callie eyes go wide as she tries to think of an appropriate answer.

"That's a conversation for another time."

"Fine." Satisfied with that answer, Noah and Sof return their attention to the television. I'm sure they'll have more questions later, but they seem pretty content right now.

Present Day

"Okay, well they are both in great position now." Doctor Caplan says moving the wand over my wife's swelling stomach. Callie is right at twenty weeks and we've both been anticipating this appointment. "You ladies ready to find out what you're having?"

"Yes, please!" Callie nearly shrieks with excitement while squeezing my hand. "You know I read that if you have severe morning sickness it means you're having a girl. And I definitely had some rough mornings."

"I'm afraid you're wrong about this one, doc. You two are having…boys!"

"I knew it! I totally knew it!" I cheer. Callie throws me a look to calm down, but I can't hold back my delight. "Aw baby, this is amazing! We're having boys!" I lay a big kiss on Callie's cheek and look at the monitor.

"I guess that means Sofia is our princess of the family." Callie smiles. "I have a feeling she won't have an issue with that."

"I guess it's time to start thinking about names." Doctor Caplan prints off some new pictures for us and I take a towel and begin wiping off the gel on Callie's stomach. "I'll give you all sometime in here. Make sure to make another appointment on the way out." He exits the exam room, leaving my wife and I alone.

"So boys, huh? This is crazy! We're going to have three boys, Calliope!"

"I know! That's wild." Sitting up on the exam table, my wife turns her body towards me and swings her legs over the edge. "I would've never thought I'd have three boys. Let alone four kids."

"I love you guys so much!" With a hand on each side of her belly, I lean down and place two kisses on her stomach, which makes Callie giggle. "You keep baking in there. Your mommies can't wait to meet you."

"Mmm, can I get a kiss too?"

"You, my love, can get all the kisses you want." Callie pulls on the front of my shirt and brings my lips to hers. As the kiss heats up, her legs spread open and I step in closer to her embrace. I bring a hand up to the side of her face and open my mouth as she slips her tongue inside.

"You wanna come to my office?" Callie mumbles against my lips as we both try and catch our breath.

"I don't have time."

"Then I guess we'll just have to do it here." She slyly smirks. Her hands wrap around my waist to the back of my pencil skirt and I pull my zipper down. She pushes the skirt past my hips and it falls to the floor, leaving me in my black, lace underwear. "Now this is what I'm talking about." She runs her hands up and down my thighs, making sure to give my ass a firm squeeze. and pulls me closer. "I promise I'll be quick."

"Babe, I really can't." I reluctantly pull back and pull up my skirt. "I have to pick up the kids from school and I'm already a few minutes late."

"Fine. Let me at least help you zip up your skirt."

"Are you sure this isn't just a ploy to pull my skirt down again?"

"Maybe." She jokes. "I'll be good, just turn around." Turning my back towards her, she zips up my skirt and I turn around to face her again. "You know this raging libido of mine won't last forever."

"I think I have at least two more months before you deny me all together."

"And just think with two crying and very hungry newborns I'm going to be so exhausted. Plus, Sofia and Noah are going to need us too. That means no time for us. We may never have sex again, babe."

"Don't speak such a thing into existence." I wink at her. "It's a good thing I'm with you for your brain then."

"And here I was thinking it was my good looks and charming attitude."

"Ehh, those ain't so bad either." Our flirtatious banter ends and I help her off the exam table and give her another kiss. "See you at home?"

"I'll be there in a few hours."

Twenty minutes later I arrive at the kid's school. I guess the one perk of being a little late to pick them is the shortened carpool line. I only have to wait behind a few cars before I pull up to the front of the building and one of the teachers helps Noah and Sofia into the car.

"Hey guys, how was school?"

"It was awesome, mommy! The whole class made a huge puzzle."

"Yeah? That sounds fun. What about you, Sof?" Looking in my rearview mirror, I notice she just shrugs her shoulders and stares out the window. "You okay, Sofia?" Again, no sound just a shrug of the shoulders.

"Okay, well buckle up. We'll be home in a few minutes." The car ride home is filled with Noah's chatter as Sofia remains silent. Our daughter is one of the most talkative people I've ever met, so clearly something is wrong. Once we get home I set them up with their usual snack, but Sofia went straight up to her room. "Hey Noah, did Sof say anything to you after school today?"

"Nope." He assertively shakes his head as I try and pry some information out of him. This morning when I dropped them off they were both their usual cheerful selves, but something must have happened at school.

"I'm going to go check on you sister. I'll be upstairs if you need me."

"Okay mommy. I hope Sofa feels better."

"Me too, bud. Me too." Walking through the house and upstairs I go straight to Sofia's room. When I open the door, she's on her bed playing with her iPad. "Hey Sof, can we talk?"

"Okay." She softly answers. I join her on the bed and take the device from her hands.

"You seem a little upset, honey. Did something happen at school?" She shakes her head no, but we both know that's not the truth. "You can tell if anything happened."

"I asked Katie if she wanted to come over for a playdate one day and she said no."

"Well maybe she's busy, sweetheart."

"No, her mommy told her she is not allowed at our house." I scrunch my face up in confusion because I've never heard that before. To be honest, I can't even remember who Katie is. Sof has so many friends that I tend to kind of group them all together. "Katie said her mommy said homes with two mommies and two daddies are bad, so she can't come." It's like a punch to my heart when I hear Sofia utter those words. "What's wrong with my two mommies, mommy?" The floodgates burst open and tears coming streaming down her face.

"Nothing sweetheart, nothing at all." I pull her into my lap and give her a big hug as I try to hold my own tears in. I hate seeing any of my kids cry and I especially hate Katie's mother right now. "Your mommy and I love you very much, you know that right?" She nods her head with her face buried in the crook of my neck while I run my hands over her brunette hair. "Katie's mom is wrong."

"I told Katie I have two mommies and a daddy and she said that's weird." Sofia whispers out between sniffles.

"There's nothing weird about it at all. Not everyone has a mommy and a daddy and that's perfectly okay."

"I really want Katie to come over and play. Her mommy is a meanie."

"That she is." I'm thinking I may need to have a few words with Katie's mother very soon. "Listen to me Sof," I make sure to look her right in the eyes. "having two mommies or two daddies is okay. Don't let anyone tell you different, okay?"

"Okay."

"And you're extra special because you've got three parents who love you. Your daddy loves you too so much."

"I know." Sof smiles. "I love you, mama, and daddy."

"Good, and if you want to invite someone else over for a playdate that's fine." I hold her for a few more minutes until her tears subside.

"Okay. Maybe Sasha." I squeeze Sofia one more time before finally releasing her. "Can I play with my iPad again?"

"Yes, but only for twenty minutes." I give Sof her tablet back. I head into my bedroom and go straight to the bathroom to wash my face. I always worry if I'm a good enough mother, I think most mothers go through that. It's something that Callie and I talk about, but I never wanted how I live my life to affect my kids. I'm not naïve to think that there's no more homophobia in the world, but I didn't want that projected on my kids at such a young age. Callie and I have made sure to know teach our kids that our love is okay. We can't shelter them from everything, but we try our hardest. And while they are still too young to understand everything, we've told them that love makes a home and love makes a family. Katie was only telling her what her mother told her, so that's who I have the problem with.

A few hours later as I was preparing dinner in the kitchen, I heard the front door close alerting me of Callie's arrival.

"Arizona?"

"Kitchen, babe." I call out. She walks into the kitchen and drops her bag in a nearby chair. It doesn't take much for me to nice how tired and she. It's practically written all over her face. "How are you?"

"I'm alright." She asks in passing. She lands a quick kiss to my cheek and heads to the pantry. "How was the rest of your day?"

"Interesting..." Walking over to the refrigerator, I pull out the ingredients I need to make a salad.

"Yeah?" Callie says taking a seat at the kitchen island across from me. She opens a brand-new bag of salt and vinegar chips and starts munching away. "Wanna talk about it?"

"Honey, I have chicken in the oven and I'm making a salad. You're going to ruin your appetite."

"I doubt it. I'm eating for three now and the three of us are very hungry. I promise I'll have enough room for your delicious meal." She smiles sweetly as I narrow my eyes at her a take a sip of my wine. "Ooo, let me have a sip."

"No."

"Aw come on, a sip won't hurt."

"I know, but the answer is still no."

"Look," She leans forward and lowers her voice, "I promise to do very dirty things to you later if you let me have a sip." I pretend to think about it before shaking my head and finishing off my glass. "Oh, you're evil." Callie laughs as I pour myself another glass.

"After the conversation I had earlier, trust me I need this."

"What's going on, babe?" She softens her voice to express her concern. "Is everything alright?"

"It was until Sofia was crying in my arms earlier."

"Is she okay?"

"She's better now, but she came home from school upset." I pull out a chopping board from the cabinet and begin cutting some vegetables up. "She wanted her friend Katie to come over for a sleepover, but apparently Katie's mother has a problem with us."

"With us, why? And which one is Katie again?"

"I can't remember, but Katie's mother has an issue with our relationship and she doesn't want her daughter in our home."

"You're kidding me, right?" She scoffs in disbelief.

"I wish I was. Katie told Sof that having two mommies or two daddies is bad and she can't come over. Sof obviously took that very personally and got upset. I've seen Sof cry before, but never like that Calliope. It broke my heart." I can see the fire and rage building within Callie and she's pissed off, just like I was a few hours ago. Luckily, I have wine to calm me down.

"Who the hell does Katie's mom this she is? She can't just say shit like that. Of course her daughter is going to repeat it and believe it. What's the moms name? No, better yet, what's her address? She needs to get her homophobic head out of her ass. Fuck her." She spits out. She runs a hand over her growing stomach, trying to calm herself down. "Sofia, come down here, please!" She yells out.

"Callie, what are you doing?" Putting everything I cut up into a bowl, I dry my hands and walk over to my wife's side. "I already spoke with Sof. I think she's fine now."

"I just have some questions for our daughter. I need to get to the bottom of this."

I don't want Sof to be any more involved than she already is. Just take a breath, please. For the twins." I plead with her. Sofia hops down the stairs, with her pigtails swinging from side to side, and walks into the kitchen.

"Mama, you're home!"

"I am, my beautiful princess." Callie plasters on a big smile and lifts Sofia up to sit on the counter. "Geez, you're getting big."

"Hello babies!" Sof says placing the palm of her hands on Callie's belly. "What's it like in there?"

"Warm and cozy." Callie answers with a chuckle. "So mama told me what happened at school today between you and Katie. Now, do you know Katie's mother's name?"

"Callie…"

"What? It doesn't hurt to ask?" She shrugs her shoulders at me.

"No. I think she just calls her mommy." Sofia answers.

"Do you know her last name?" Callie is trying to pry information out of Sof and it's not working. It is a little amusing watching her trying to get useful information out of a six-year-old.

"No, sorry."

"It's okay." Callie presses a kiss to her forehead. "Do you like Katie? Do you still want her to come over?"

"I dunno."

"Has she ever said anything mean to you before?"

"No. Katie is really nice. We play together on the playground at school."

"Sof, go get your brother and come down for dinner. It's almost ready." I interrupt the interrogation and send our daughter on her way.

"Love you!" Callie calls out as Sofia heads back upstairs. "I'm going to the school tomorrow and talking to the principal. This is unacceptable." She resumes her chip eating. "Katie's mom needs to keep her fucking opinions to herself."

"I know, babe. I was thinking I walk Noah and Sof in tomorrow. Maybe I can get a glimpse of this woman and have some words with her."

"What are you going to say?"

"Essentially what you just said, she needs to keep her fucking opinions to herself."

"We have an awesome house! Any kid would love to come over for a playdate. We have a theater, a little swing set thing outside, and dozens of toys. I mean have you seen all the toys are kids have? And I make really good cookies." Callie proudly brags. "Our house is amazing." She states finishing her cute rant.

"Anything else?"

"Our house is freakin' amazing!" She says one more time for good measure.

"Callie."

"Okay, now I'm done."

"Good." I take the bag of chips from her. "Now help me set the table."

Our dinner conversation was much more light hearted. We're all pretty excited to escape to California soon for Addison's wedding next week. Callie spoke to Mark the other day and he's excited to see Sof. He wasn't invited to the wedding, but he promised to watch Sof for us during the wedding reception and the following day. Maybe we can convince him to keep Noah too. It is Valentine's weekend after all. It's supposed to be romantic and sexy, and while I think the holiday is overrated, Callie's loves it, so I have to come up with something special for her. After dinner, it was the usual bath and story time before bed. While I got changed for bed, Callie took a quick shower.

"You up for it?" Callie steps out of the bathroom with a bottle of lotion. "I think I feel asleep on you the other night, but I promise I'll stay up this time." She laughs.

"Yeah, you better." Nodding my head yes, I take the bottle from her and she joins me on the bed. Scooting to the middle, Callie props a few pillows up and lies back. She lifts her shirt up above her stomach and I straddle her thighs. "How are my boys tonight?" I ask rhetorically. Squirting the lotion in my hands, I rub my hands together and then rub them across her skin slowly. "How's that?"

"So good, babe, So, so good." She closes her eyes as I continue to work my hands over her stomach. Not many words are said as we both enjoy the moment. I never understood why Callie loved touching and caressing my stomach until now. This is the closest I'll get to my boys until they are born and I'm holding them.

"I was thinking we got one of those big balloons filled with blue confetti. We can have the kids pop it to let them know we're having boys."

"That sounds fun! I'm sure they'll enjoy it." There's another silent moment before she speaks up again.

"Arizona." Whenever she just says my name and nothing else, I know she's been thinking.

"Calliope."

"We're doing the right thing, right?" She asks with a bit of nervousness in her voice, which I instantly pick up on. "Us raising these kids and having two more? I mean I don't want them to get picked on because of us."

"No, no, no babe. You can't go down that road. I did before and I got lost in some crazy thoughts. If it's not us, they'll find some other reason to pick on them. It sucks and I hate it, but it's true."

"You're right. I just…I don't know." She answers dejectedly. "Two hours ago, I was all fired up and now I'm all sappy."

"Hmm, kinda sounds like you're pregnant to me." I sarcastically joke. "You guys got mommy on a hormonal rollercoaster." I say in a child-like tone as my hands finish up their lotion adventure. "Okay, I'm pretty much done."

"Thank you." She leans up on her elbows and our lips meet for a kiss. "Love you."

"Love you too." I take my chance and push my hand up higher under her shirt and knead her right breast. "This okay?"

"Definitely okay, Ari." Looking into her eyes, I can see they are darkened and filled with lust. I lean back and pull her shirt off her and push her back onto the mattress. It's hard for me to lay directly on top of her considering the two bundles of joy between us, but that doesn't stop me from loving my wife. I just have to get a little more creative, which I certainly don't mind.

"You just lie back and relax. Let me do all the work."

The following morning, I kept my word from earlier. Instead of just going through the carpool line, I parked the car and walked Noah and Sof inside. After dropping Noah at his classroom, I went with Sofia to hers, but instead of going inside I hovered out in the hallway with Sofia.

"Mommy, can I please go in my class now?"

"Just a second, sweetie." Kneeling down to her eye level, I straighten out her hair and uniform once more. "I want you to have a good day, okay? Pay attention, be nice, and if you know the answer to a question don't be afraid to raise your and hand speak up."

"I know, mommy." Clearly she's getting annoyed with me. I'm starting to think maybe Katie's mom just drops her daughter off in the carpool line like almost every other parent. I check my watch and notice if I don't leave soon I'll be late for work. "Okay, well I'm off."

"Wait, mommy. There's Katie!" She points to a little girl and what I can assume is her mother walking down the hall.

"Thanks Sof, You go ahead and go to class. Love you."

"Love you too." She wraps her arms around my neck before she skips away into her classroom. Standing up, I notice Katie wave goodbye to her mom and watch as the woman begins to leave.

"Excuse me!" I weave my way through some kids and teachers walk up to the mystery woman. "Hi, excuse me." I tap her on the shoulder lightly and she spins around. "Do you have a minute to talk."

"I actually have to get to work."

"So do I. It will only take a minute or two."

"How can I help you?" She smiles back obviously agitated.

"I'm Arizona Torr—"

"I know who you are." She snaps at me, which throws me off a little.

"Um okay, well your daughter Katie is in the same class as my daughter Sofia."

"Uh-huh."

"Okay…well yesterday the two talked about a potential playdate, but your daughter informed my daughter that she wasn't allowed at my house."

"That's correct. I won't send my child anywhere that's not appropriate." She takes a step closer to me and lowers her voice. "Listen, your kid seems nice and so do you, but I won't allow my child near your house. I don't care what you and that other woman do behind closed doors, but I'm not going to subject my kid to that." This lady think she can threaten me, but it's not working one bit.

"Listen I don't know what your deal is, but you need to back off. That other woman is my wife and Sofia's other mom and you will respect both of us. If you want to raise your daughter with a closed mind, that's up to you, but when she starts projecting that onto my daughter is when I have a problem. My wife and I would appreciate it if you didn't discuss our family with your daughter. After all it's none of your damn business. If you have a problem, you come take it up with me."

"Let me guess, you must be the man in the relationship, huh?"

"Clearly, you're misinformed. There are only two women in my relationship, me and my incredibly sexy wife. The only man I feel sorry for is the one who is married to you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get to work." I don't give her another look and just walk away. "Fucking bitch." I mutter under my breath.

"…damn, my wife is a badass." Callie comments. I called her during my lunch break to tell her about what happened this morning. "I kinda wish I was there to see it."

"I'm not a fighter, but I could've easily taken her."

"Oh shoot, Addis is calling on the other line. We have some last-minute wedding stuff to talk about. I want to hear the story again when I get home."

"Okay, tell Addison I said hi and I can't wait to see her."

"Will do. Love you." She hangs up and I go back to grading some papers. After a few minutes, Teddy waddles into my classroom with a big bag of food.

"Arizona, please tell me you have something good for lunch?"

"Uh, I have some leftover baked chicken." I hold my up container for her to see and her eyes light up.

"I'll trade you my pasta salad for that."

"Ummm…should I be worried about the pasta salad?"

"No, it's just that Henry learned a new recipe and I ever since I told him I like it, that's all I eat now. I need something else, I can't crush his spirit and tell him I hate his food now."

"Fine, I'll trade." I give up my comfortable chair for her and swap lunches. She's seven months pregnant and shouldn't be sitting in a high school desk. "So what's new with you? How are Callie and the twins?"

"They're good. Had a checkup yesterday. What about you? You're near the finish line now."

"The room is all set up. Henry is getting more and more nervous. My mom came in last night for the baby shower this weekend."

"I picked out your gift weeks ago. I saw it when I went baby shopping with Callie. It's pretty awesome if I may say so myself."

"As long as it's not baseball themed I'll love it. We've got every baby baseball thing you can imagine."

"Aww, that's cute! Also, tell your husband this pasta salad is amazing." I say stuffing another forkful in my mouth.

"Trust me, he'll love to hear that." She playfully rolls her eyes.

"Wanna hear a story about her about how I got into it with a mom and the kids school this morning?"

"Umm, yes please! Next time lead with that." She says eagerly. "I should take some notes in case this happens in a few years with me. Mama bear Arizona seems scary."

"Trust me, you don't want to mess with her."

AN: Thanks for reading and to musicforsoul! I also appreciate the suggestions on the last chapter. It was pretty close between 2 boys and one boy and one girl.

Drop a comment if you have baby name suggestions! I have one picked out, but I'll need another and two middle names. Also, any romantic valentine's day ideas you may have for Arizona are helpful too!

Sorry again for the scattered updates. I'm so swamped with work right now. I do have a break coming up so I think the next chapter should come sooner.
