A/N: I watched the Grey's episode today where Callie is just pregnant and they have the whole extra special vagina vote talk and I love how sassy she got without coffee haha.
Callie could feel piercing blue eyes watching her intensely. She tried to get back into her dreamland but it wasn't working. "Stop staring," she mumbled and burried her face in the pillow. "You were calling my name," Arizona said amused. Callie opened one eyes and groaned at the light. "What?" Arizona laughed and snuggled closer. "What were you dreaming?" Callie thought about it for a second and then laughed. "You were chasing a chicken and then a fox appeared and started chasing it and you were screaming and then the fox ate the chicken." Arizona frowned. "Well that wasn't very nice." Callie softly kissed Arizona's pout. "It was interesting. Now about that birthday of yours coming soon." Arizona groaned. "No surprise parties." Callie shook her head. "No surprise parties," she repeated.
"How about 20 people?" Callie asked. She was already making plans for Arizona's birthday. "As long as all of them are my friends." Arizona really didn't want a party but the look on Callie's face while she was planning on was filled with excitement and happiness. She just couldn't say no. "Kids?" Callie was making a list. "They can stay with us we just have to get them to bed at some point at night and be a bit more quiet." Callie nodded and wrote something down. "It's gonna be perfect," Callie said with enthusiasm. Arizona rolled her eyes but still smiled. "Just don't go overboard with it."
Callie hung up the phone and sat down on the couch. Arizona was colouring with Sofia and Aaron. "Arizona," Callie said softly. She was trying not to show too many emotions but was failing. "What?" Arizona asked oblivious to Callie's tone of voice. She laughed softly when Aaron ran out of patience and just coloured a whole page. Callie's heart was breaking when she thought about what she was about to say. "Can we talk? In the bedroom?" This was the first one Arizona looked up and she noticed distress and sadness in Callie's expression. "What's wrong?" Arizona asked. Callie stood up and walked towards the bedroom giving a silent hint to follow her.
Arizona closed the door behind her. "What's going on?" Now panic was heard in her own voice too. "That was a social worker on the phone," Callie said slowly and quietly. Arizona's breath hitched. That meant two things. She was either just checking on Aaron or she found another family for him. And the look in Callie's eyes told her it wasn't just a check up. "No," Arizona chocked out while shaking her head. "She said they found a nice family that would consider adopting him as soon as possible." Arizona let tears fall. "But she belongs here. They can't just take him away. What if they change their mind huh?" Callie was staying calm for both them. "Arizona when we got into this you and I both knew it was just temporary," Callie said softly. "I don't want this to be temporary. I want him forever. It felt so natural with him being here." Arizona took a deep breath. "They can't just take him away," she repeated as tears fell harder down her cheeks.
Callie reached out to take Arizona's hand but she turned around slipping her hand out of reach . "Where do you think you're going?" Callie asked and followed her out of the room. "I just.. I need a minute. Alone." Callie stopped walking and sighed. Arizona left the apartment sighing deeply. She should say goodbye to Aaron but instead she was running away from that happening. She knocked well banged loudly on Teddy's door. "I'm coming," was Arizona able to hear from the other side. And when the door opened Arizona didn't know what to do. Teddy noticed blue watery eyes. "What happened?" Teddy asked concerned as she pulled Arizona in her apartment.
"They're taking him away. They're taking my baby away," Arizona sobbed out and started crying hard. "What?" Teddy asked confused. "Aaron. They... They found a f-family for him." Teddy didn't know what to do. Arizona was sitting on her couch and sobbing hard. She was nearly hyperventilating. "Arizona calm down. Just breathe." She was rubbing Arizona's back trying to make her relax just enough for Arizona to catch her breath. "Have you ever talked to Callie about wanting to adopt him?" Teddy's voice was much calmer but it did nothing to help Arizona. "No. Because I thought by the time that conversation would come by they wouldn't have a family for him," Arizona said whiping her tears away. "It's not too late you know," Teddy said emplying for Arizona to go back to her apartment and talk with Callie.
"I don't know Teddy. I kinda stormed off so going back right now isn't the best idea ever." Teddy groaned. "I'm not getting inbetween you and Callie. You need to talk to her more. Like you do with me. And you need to tell her that you told your shrink to well you know back off in not such a nice way." Arizona sighed and stood up. "You're not helping me Theodora. I'm gonna go." Teddy hoped she would return in her apartment but knowing Arizona that wasn't going to happen. "Be save okay." Arizona nodded and left Teddy's apartment.
"Hey Mark," Arizona said softly as she wrapped the coat around her more. She stood in front of Mark's grave. "I haven't been her in a while. Sorry I missed your birthday. I'm pretty sure Lexie gave you a nice birthday sex," she said laughing to herself. "I miss you. We all do. I think it would be easier with you around." She placed a bouqet of flowers down and sighed. "I kinda need an advice on something but you can't answer can you?" Arizona paused for a second. "I hope you met my brother up there. I'm sure he would enjoy your sex jokes. And take care of Lexie. Don't screw it up this time," Arizona warned and then sighed to herself. "I'm going crazy."
Callie paced around the apartment as she waited for the other person to answer the phone. "Yeah?" Callie stopped pacing to compose herself. "Have you seen Arizona? Because I can't find her anywhere." Her eyes wondered towards Aaron who had no idea what was going on but he was happy. "She was here but that was 3 hours ago." Callie groaned and started pacing again."She left her phone at home so I can't reach her. I called the hospital and she's not there either and I also contacted every other emergency room in Seattle in case something happened but no one knows where she is. I'm so close to calling the police but I don't wanna come out paranoid or like I don't trust her because I do but I'm worried. What should I do Teddy?" Callie rented and the last part came out as a whining whisper.
Teddy grabbed her purse and keys. "Give me a minute I'll be right there." With that she hung up and ran up the stairs not bothering to wait for an elevator. She didn't knock she, just entered Callie's apartment. "I'm here. You can go and search for Arizona. Sofia, Aaron and I will have a blast." Callie smiled gratefully at Teddy and grabbed her coat and keys. "If Arizona comes home, call me." And with that Callie ran down the stairs even if it was 5 levels. She walked to her car and sat inside. Just before she started an engine she noticed a folded paper on the seat.
Hi,
if you're reading this I'm not back yet. I'm sorry if I got you worried I just needed some time for myself. Meet me on the Grey Sloan Memorial roof if you want.
I love you,
Arizona
Callie breathed a sigh of relief and started her car. She drove to the hospital even if it was right across the street and parked her car. "Hey isn't this your day off?" Cristina asked her once she noticed Callie walk in. "I saw Robbins before but she told me not to tell anyone," Alex added. Callie ignored both of them and pressed the elevator button to get on the roof. "Are you two gonna bump uglies on the top of Grey Sloan Memorial?" Cristina asked ignoring Callie's silent message to leave her alone. "Because Mark would love that," she added.
Callie screamed finally inside of her head when the elevator arrived. She stepped in thankfully alone and made her way up. The elevator opened and Callie walked out in the cold air. Arizona was sitting on the blanket that was covering the ground. Her head was leaned against the short wall and her eyes was closed. Wind was ruffling her blonde curls everywhere. Callie smiled at the sight in front of her. She made her way towards Arizona and sat down next to her. She made sure her steps weren't too quiet so she wouldn't startle Arizona.
"You need to not walk away every time something bad happens," Callie whispered. Arizona leaned her head against Callie's shoulder. "I don't want him to go. Ever." Callie sighed and looked at Arizona making sure she was looking at her too. "I know that. I knew it for quite a while but you should just tell me." Arizona swollowed the lump in her throat. "Callie our marriage isn't the same as it was before and maybe it never will be and throwing another child when I didn't want one in the first place is kind of a big deal," Arizona rambled but got stopped by a finger on her lips. "I know. But he started to become a part of our family and I don't want him to go either." The wind got stronger making Callie pull Arizona closer to her body.
"Would you to adopt him with me if I'd tell you sooner?" Arizona asked so quietly Callie almost missed it. "Very likely," Callie answered. Arizona burried her face in Callie's neck and let some tears fall. "It's too late now isn't it?" she whispered. Callie sighed. "I talked to the social worker and she said he's good to stay for a few more days but that's all. I didn't mention that we would like to adopt him because that's a huge bomb to throw at. It felt like she was expecting me to say it though," Callie answered.
After a few minutes of complete silence and the wind getting stronger Callie spoke again. "Why don't we go back to the apartment? Teddy's with Aaron and Sofia but she has to go to work soon." Arizona nodded with a deep sigh. Callie stood up and helped her stood up too. They made their way down, their hands never seperating. "Troubles in lesbo land?" Cristina asked once they left the elevator. "Don't you have any hearts to cut Yang?" Callie snapped back. "Touché," Cristina replied and walked away. Arizona laughed slightly.
"Oh hey thank god you're okay I just got paged so I have to go," Teddy said as she rushed through the apartment. "THANKS," Arizona yelled after her but she wasn't sure if Teddy could hear her. "Mommy," Sofia said and pointed at the block castle she and Aaron built. "Woah this is huge. Did Teddy help you?" Sofia shook her head proudly. "Are you lying?" Arizona asked teasingly and tickled Sofia's stomach. "No," she replied giggling loudly. Arizona turned to Aaron. "Is Sofia lying?" Aaron looked like he was in a big dilemma. He kept looking between Sofia and Arizona. "Hey it's okay. Either way it's a very beautiful castle," Arizona added noticing how uncomfortable he was getting. Aaron nodded and smiled.
"What are we gonna do?" Arizona whispered once they were settled in bed. Callie still had her night light turned on. She looked at Arizona but didn't say anything. "I don't want to make him feel like we didn't want him. He had enough crap from his father." Callie turned on her side and ran her fingers along Arizona's cheek. "We made him feel more loved than he ever felt in his short life," Callie replied trying to make Arizona feel better about this situation even if she wasn't happy herself. She needed to be strong. "What are we gonna do with his little bed and all the clothes and toys?" Callie sighed. "We can donate them," she whispered. "Or we can keep it," Arizona replied quietly. "What are we goingto do with it?" Callie asked through a sigh. She was all for keeping Aaron but it was too late now. "Let's have more kids," Arizona replied firmly. Callie's eyes widened and whatever exhaustion she had before left her body.
"What?" She wanted to hear Arizona say that again. "Let's have more kids," Arizona repeated this time her voice wasn't so sure. Callie bit her lip. "I can't." Arizona rolled over so she was really close to Callie. "What? Weren't you all let's have babies?" Callie sighed. "I can't have kids anymore," she whispered. "Addison told me that awhile ago. She said there's a high chance of the baby not surviving for more than a month in my uterus after the trauma that happened during and after car accident." Arizona closed her eyes and took that in. "How come no one told me that after the surgery?" Callie shrugged. "They were probably too focused on my and Sofia's recovery to think about that." Arizona burried her face in Callie's shoulder. "We can adopt. I mean look at Zola she's adorable," Callie said trying to ease the tension. Arizona looked at Callie. She looked like she was poudering something really hard.
"Or I can carry a baby." Callie thought she was hearing things. Arizona a person who she nearly lost because she wanted kids and Arizona didn't. She wanted more kids with Arizona but it was never the right time. After the plane crash she practically erased that thought out of her mind. "Calliope," Arizona said for the third time trying to get her attention. "Huh?" Callie mumbled snapping out of her thoughts. "I'm serious." Callie stared into Arizona's baby blue eyes searching for something that would tell her to not agree but all she found was love, honesty and a little bit of pain. "I don't know," Callie replied sighing. "I know what you're thinking. I can do this. I promised you 10 kids and well we might not get to 10 but I want Sofia to have some siblings before it's too late." Callie wrapped her arms around Arizona and kissed her head. "Let's just sleep over and we'll talk more tommorow okay?" Arizona wasn't exactly thrilled about the answer but at least it wasn't a no. "Okay." Callie turned off the night light and cuddled closer to Arizona.
While the room was quickly filled with Arizona's soft snores Callie couldn't fall asleep with the thought of Arizona carrying their baby. Arizona loved Sofia. She was her mommy and there was no doubt about the love they had for eachother but Sofia wasn't planned. And Aaron was a nice edition to a family even if it was just for a short time. But if they ever had another baby it would be 100% theirs. Callie sighed and inhaled Arizona's shampoo. It used to calm her and it looked like it still had that power because very soon Callie was also asleep.
